President Obama's reelection campaign raised $35 million in March, according to documents filed on Friday with the Federal Election Commission. The prodigious haul, nearly three times the total raised by presumptive Republican nominee Mitt Romney, signals that the White House's fundraising machine is ramping up as the general election kicks off.
Obama's fundraising totals have increased each month in 2012. He raised roughly $12 million in January and $21 million in February. As of the end of March, he had $104 million on hand, up from the nearly $85 million a month earlier.
The president is expected to raise more than the $750 million he brought in during the 2008 campaign, and his total this time around could reach $1 billion. The campaign has downplayed that total, but it nonetheless has served as a rallying cry for Republicans who warn their presidential nominee could be smothered by Obama's cash.
Friday's news would appear to inflame those concerns. Obama said earlier in the week that he had raised a combined $53 million in March for his campaign and the Democratic National Committee. Hours before Obama's detailed report was filed on Friday, Romney announced that he had raised $12.6 million during March. All the money, the Romney campaign announced, was earmarked for the primary season.
The yawning disparity between Obama's and Romney's fundraising reports underscores the challenge facing the former Massachusetts governor as he gears up for the general election. But Romney's campaign isn't backing down: The New York Times reported this week that the candidate, along with the Republican National Committee, plans to raise $800 million by Election Day.
Romney can also count on an array of outside groups, such as American Crossroads, to pump hundreds of millions of dollars into the anti-Obama effort. These so-called super PACs could reduce, possibly even erase, Obama's presumed financial edge. Crossroads, for instance, has said that it plans to raise as much as $300 million.

10th Africa Regional Conference
31 countries meet in Nigeria to grow Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting in Africa
From 11 to 17 August 2013, Girl Scout and Girl Guide organizations from 31 countries met in Nigeria at the World Association of Girl Guides and Girl Scouts (WAGGGS) 10th Africa Regional Conference.
With the theme of "African Young Women: Soaring Towards Excellence," more than 120 delegates agreed on how to grow Girl Guiding and Girl Scouting in the region to girls and young women, giving more girls in more countries the opportunity to develop their self-esteem, leadership skills and make a difference in their communities on issues such as sustainability, ending violence against girls and gender empowerment and equality.
The week-long conference included workshops, consultations, showcasing of projects by Member Organizations, the election of the Africa Committee members and the bid for the venue of the next Conference. The delegates discussed topics important to the global Movement and to girls in their own countries, including eliminating violence against girls and women, global leadership, girls' education, fund raising and membership growth.

© Copyright 2015 Gwinnett Daily Post
The celebrated Gwinnett Young Singers will be on the run this holiday season.The various choirs that make up the whole organization - including the Concert Choir, the Hudgens Choir, the Treble Choir and the new Georgia Young Men's Ensemble - will take the stage many times throughout the next few weeks. Under the artistic direction of Lynn Urda, the Concert and Hudgens choirs will again perform with the Atlanta Symphony Orchestra. This is the 10th anniversary of the collaboration, and it's one that seems to be greatly enjoyed by participants and audiences alike. "Christmas with the ASO and Chorus" will be held Thursday and Dec. 7 and 8 in the Woodruff Arts Center. The annual tradition began with the ASO's illustrious Robert Shaw. This year, more than 400 musicians will participate. Along with the Gwinnett Young Singers, the voices of the ASO, the ASO Chorus and the Morehouse Glee Club will thrill listeners with the glory of the Christmas story. For tickets, visit www.atlantasymphony.org. The Concert and Hudgens choirs will come together again for "Christmas with the Atlanta Sacred Chorale" at 7 p.m. Dec. 15 at Second Ponce de Leon Baptist Church in Atlanta. The young voices will be performing with the Atlanta Sacred Chorale and the Yuletide Brass Ensemble. Ticket information for this concert is available at www.atlantasacredchorale.org or by calling 770-399-7678. The younger voices of the Treble Choir will have two of their own concerts. The first is at 3 p.m. Saturday at the Delmar Gardens Festival of Trees. This will be celebrated at the Delmar Gardens Retirement Center, 3100 Club Drive in Lawrenceville. There is no admission charge. The second, "Treble Choir Family Christmas Concert," will be presented at 7 p.m. Dec. 18. This will be held in the Grand Hall of the Children's Museum at the Hudgens Center for the Arts, and again there is no admission charge. One of the most exciting developments with the Gwinnett Young Singers this year has been the development of a choir just for young men. Phillip Shoultz III will lead these gentlemen as they perform, first in the Duluth Holiday Festival at 10:45 a.m. Saturday in Duluth's City Center. Next they will be featured at "Christmas By Candlelight with the Gwinnett Choral Guild," scheduled for 7 p.m. Dec. 8 at the First United Methodist Church of Buford, 285 E. Main St. For tickets to this event, visit www.gwinnettchoralguild.org. Capping off the year, selected members of the Concert and Hudgens choirs will travel to North Carolina for "Candlelight Christmas Concert at the Biltmore House in Asheville." The event begins at 6 p.m. Dec. 27. For tickets, visit www.biltmore.com. Finally, ringing in the New Year will be the Georgia Young Men's Ensemble as they perform at Lawrenceville Rings New Year's Eve celebration, taking place Dec. 31 in downtown Lawrenceville. For more information on this event, visit www.visitlawrenceville.com. Holley Calmes is a freelance writer and public relations consultant specializing in the arts.

While asteroid Toutatis garnered plenty of attention as it passed by Earth on Halloween, a newly-discovered space rock named 2000 UK11 glided by almost 10 times closer than Toutatis during the early morning hours of Nov. 1st.
Asteroid 2000 UK11, which was briefly visible through amateur telescopes, is rapidly fading. But if you missed it, don't worry. There's an even brighter near-Earth object (NEO) on the way: 2000 UG11. Like Toutatis and 2000 UK11, there is no danger of a collision with 2000 UG11, which will pass 6 times farther from Earth than the Moon. Amateur astronomers with 8 inch or larger telescopes and CCD cameras can spot the fast-moving NEO early next week as it grows brighter than 14th magnitude.

The Australian e-Health Research Centre conducts high quality, applied research that aims to improve the quality and safety of health care for individuals and communities through a research programme focused on applied outcomes and active adoption by the health system. It addresses the National Research Priority area "Promoting and Maintaining Good Health" and is aligned with priorities identified by Queensland Health in Smart State: Health 2020 and with the CSIRO National Research Flagship Strategy. The research programme also aligns with the four priority areas nominated in the National Chronic Disease Strategy, developed under the auspices of the Council of Australian Governments (CoAG) by the National Health Priority Action Council:
- Prevention – the development of tools to build understanding of what prompts chronic disease and improve patient treatments through increased knowledge and understanding of chronic disease by better data linkage, data mining and data analysis; the development of personalized health-risk analysis for patients using biological and health data sets for obesity, cancer, diabetes, neurological disease, mental disorders and brain health will improve health outcomes;
- Early detection and treatment – the work defining the natural history of T1 and T2 prostate cancer in Australian men using multiple linked datasets, and the work to improve sensitivity and specificity of diagnostic tools used for detection of localised prostate cancer will lead to important breakthroughs in the treatment of this cancer.
- Integration of care – enhancing the team-work and the networking of clinical expertise using ICT and by understanding Human Factors science issues will lead to development and deployment of tools to enhance communication, collaboration and knowledge, and to support community care, acute care and aged care workers.
- Self-management – through providing a graphic representation of patient activity outside of the clinical care environment, the tools developed will enhance self care through the analysis of information from personal monitoring devices in sensor enabled environments.
In practical terms, research at the AEHRC focusses on the following areas of activity:
Biomedical Imaging
to deliver improved imaging for diagnosis, surgery, treatment planning and biomarker discovery, and an image analysis platform that supports these research activities.
Forecasting & Scheduling
including the use of data mining and artificial intelligence to improve the efficiency of the health system.
Health Data Management & Semantics
including internationally recognised activities in medical terminologies, machine learning, privacy and data linkage, and tools for mining large clinical data sets and streaming data from medical equipment.
Tele & Mobile Health
combining the use of new communication technologies with clinical science and the study of human behaviour to to enable enhanced chronic disease management and rehabilitation services in the community.

Blackburn owners won't chase Alan Shearer
ALAN SHEARER has been told he will have to apply if he wants to become the new Blackburn manager.
Alan Shearer has been told he will have to apply if he wants to become the new Blackburn boss
The former Rovers, Newcastle and England striker, 42, has admitted an interest in the vacant post.
But Rovers claim they have had more than 30 applications since Steve Kean resigned last week.
The club's Indian owners, Venky's say they will not chase anyone – meaning Shearer will have to make the first move.
He was top scorer for Rovers when they last won the title in 1995 but his only management experience was overseeing Newcastle's 2009 relegation as temporary boss.
Meanwhile, Rovers have thanked anti-Kean fans who stayed away in protest for returning to Ewood Park. The 17,034 attendance for the 1-0 defeat against Wolves was more than 4,000 above this season's average.
Rovers' global adviser Shebby Singh said: "It was important the fans came. I thank them all for their support.''

Welcome to the website for the Lyndon B. Johnson School of Public Affairs. Since our founding in 1970, the LBJ School has built a proud tradition of public service and cutting-edge research on the most important public policy challenges of our time.
The School's mission is to develop leaders and ideas that will help our state, the nation and the international community address critical public policy challenges in an ever increasingly interconnected and interdependent world. Drawing upon a world-renowned, multidisciplinary faculty, a diverse and talented group of masters' and Ph.D. students and the resources of The University of Texas at Austin, one of the world's leading research universities, the LBJ School is well-placed to help shape public policy for the 21st century. We are truly at the intersection of knowledge and action.
After 40 years of education and service, the LBJ School has awarded 3,536 master's degrees and, since 1996, 53 doctorates. Our alumni have made their marks in elective office and key policy and management positions, in government and in the private and nonprofit sectors, as well. They are leaders in our community, our state, our nation and in the international community.
As you explore this site, you will see a broad array of academic and research programs, including our policy and research centers, that have contributed to our global reputation in health and social policy, international affairs and trade, technology policy, leadership, economics, energy and environment, and public and nonprofit management. Our success is directly attributable to forging strong relationships and partnerships with public policymakers, businesses, international agencies, non-governmental organizations, the press and governments at all levels.
Perhaps no sentiment better expresses our aspirations than the words of our founder, President Lyndon B. Johnson, early in the School's history, ". . . when I came home [to Texas] I thought that the greatest contribution that we could make to preserving freedom in our land—a society that would give us the fruits of life as we should have them—would be to prepare and equip people to serve their fellow man, and that is what public affairs is and that's what it means."

A week from now, Brayden Belanger of Johnson City will have already seen the familiar sights of New York City only to end his trip with an appearance on NBC's "Today" show. And he's only 2 years old.
Brayden was among the ten babies chosen out of 38,000 other children to compete in "Today's" Cutest Babies Contest. After online voting ended Sunday night, Brayden joined the ranks of four other children who will be appearing in a fashion show on the 10 a.m. segment hosted by Kathie Lee Gifford and Hoda Kotb on Oct. 13.
While they were excited about the prospect of heading to New York for the special trip, Phillip and Lindsey Belanger, Brayden's parents, never expected they would actually get to go.
"We were just happy with the way things went and that he had made it that far," Phillip said.
The Belangers had been told by "Today" producers that they would be notified Sunday night if Brayden had been chosen for the next leg of the competition.
When Sunday night came and went without a phone call from the producers, Phillip said they thought it was all over. He and Lindsey went about their Monday morning routine until they heard Brayden's name among the final five.
"We started calling each other immediately, because we didn't expect that to be happening. We thought there was no way he was going to make it, because we didn't hear anything," Phillip said.
On Oct. 11, the Belangers will be flown to New York, where they get two days to explore with Brayden before he makes his live television debut.
Trips to Central Park, the Statue of Liberty and FAO Schwarz are already in the works.
Since appearing in the Johnson City Press last week, Phillip said Brayden has been recognized when they were out and about in the community.
"He's a little superstar now," his dad said.
While Brayden might be too young to understand the excitement surrounding the trip, his parents are certain it's a trip he'll always remember.
"We're looking forward to this trip and taking pictures and video and being able to share this with him when he's a little older," Phillip said.

The Horse is a complex piece of precision engineering. It is intricate, delicate, powerful and vulnerable.
Those of us who ride, whatever the discipline, may find it hard to believe that
A well schooled horse will carry his rider with dignity and pride. When things go wrong, they will tell us.
We owe it to them to listen.
Equine Touch is a gentle, effective muscle release system for horses. Developed from The Bowen
Technique by Jock and Ivana Ruddock, ET is now a modality in its own right.
The ET practitioner uses small moves with finger and thumb over specific points of the horse, releasing
pulses of energy which encourage the horse to relax and release pain and tension in the muscles. Each
series of moves is interspersed by a short waiting period, to allow the horse to process the moves.
This has a ripple effect; as the muscles relax, tension on the skeletal system releases and allows the bones
and joints to return to normal which in turn can release pressure on the internal organs. As the body
re-balances, the horse no longer feels the need to protect himself, and owners have been known to ask if
a previously irritable character has had a personality transplant!
Every horse can benefit from Equine Touch, however it is often called upon when performance declines or
the horse exhibits discomfort where there was none previously.
A "cold backed" horse is a horse with a sore back, who finds his saddle or rider causing pain or discomfort.
ET and practical advice on saddle fitting or rider balance can help greatly.
Refusing jumps, or inability to perform well in dressage may be down to minor pains and aches which will
quickly respond to the Basic Body Balance, while deeper issues can be addressed with more specific moves,
after initial assessment.
Generally, the most serious problems will be resolved in three sessions, 7 - 14 days apart. In some cases
it may be advisable to follow this up every 6 - 12 weeks to prevent recurrances. If re-injury occurrs
repeatedly, it may be advisable to assess the functionality of the feet, as many structural and
conformational issues begin at ground level.
Lesley Harvey BHSAI was the first person in Northern Ireland to qualify as an Equine Touch Practitioner
and trainer, having been course organiser for three ET courses run by Jock and Ivana Ruddock here in the
Northern Ireland. She has been practicing since 2001, having first qualified as a human Bowen Practitioner
in 1999. She is experienced in all aspects of horsemanship including saddle fitting and hoof
assessment, and is also a Reiki Master and Theta DNA Healer.

Floods of 2007 leads to baby boom in Gloucestershire
Posted: January 17, 2012|
IF any proof were needed that the terrible floods of 2007 brought Gloucestershire folk closer together, here it is.
A huge jump in the birth rate nine months after the shocking events of July 2007 means an extra 120 school places must be found in Gloucester this September – leaving council chiefs with a £600,000 bill.
Across Gloucestershire, more than 200 school places will have to be found.
Councillor Jackie Hall (Con, Quedgeley), county council cabinet member for education, said: "We need to take action to ensure we will have enough primary school places in the areas where we know there will be an increase in demand."
In Tewkesbury, which was famously turned into an island by the flood waters, the birth rate in 2008 reached a two-decade high of 909, 69 up on 2007.
At the start of the decade the county's birth rate for the year was 6,064 and it had fallen to 5,946 by 2005.
But in 2008 it peaked at 6,730, increasing everywhere except the Cotswolds.
Kate Jeal, a spokeswoman for Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust, could not rule out the flooding theory. She said: "Anecdotally we know of surges in the birth rates in the 1970s, for example, when there were power cuts and people were stuck at home."Nicola Davies, a spokeswoman for Gloucestershire County Council, said: "I've always thought that there must have been a spike in the birth rate following the floods, even within my circle of friends."Out of a small team of press officers working during the flood crisis, four of us became pregnant during that time and I doubt we were the only ones," said the mother of two.Cheltenham mother of three, Ellen Butt, 33, from Brooklyn Road, found herself falling pregnant during the floods with her youngest son, Micah. He was born two days early on April 15, 2008 weighing 8lb 14oz after a home water birth.The governor at Rowanfield Infant School in Alstone Lane said: "The school is one of those putting on the extra places to cope with the large intake. Our children all have two years between them and that seemed a good natural progression so we were trying for Micah."Although he is not really a 'flood baby', I think there will be some out there. I have two close friends and we all had babies about the same time, so I suppose there were quite a few babies born around the same time."Kate Jeal, a spokeswoman for Gloucestershire Hospitals NHS Trust, said: "Anecdotally we know of surges in the birth rates in the 1970s, for example, when there were power cuts and people were stuck at home."
Longer term forecasts reveal an extra 5,000 school places need to be found at primaries between and now 2015.
One fifth of schools are full or over subscribed, but the majority do have spaces free at the moment.
Schools minister Lord Hill said: "We're dealing with the impact of soaring birth rates on primary schools."
A county council consultation is running from January 24 until the end of February on the proposals on extra school places.

A native of Eugene, OR, Tracy Bonham originally emerged as an alternative rock singer during the mid-'90s alongside artists like Alanis Morisette and Liz Phair. Her debut album, The Burdens of Being Upright, gained widespread acclaim from Rolling Stone, Entertainment Weekly, and People in 1996, and her hit single "Mother Mother" received Grammy nominations for Best Alternative Album and Best Female Rock Vocal Performance in 1997. Since then, her music has evolved -- its more recent incarnations heavily inspired by her roots as a classically-trained violinist and pianist, having studied jazz and vocal music at the Berklee College of Music. Her musical style now is less grunge and more mellow pop-rock, flush with rich layers and jazzy arrangements. Bonham has toured and recorded with the Blue Man Group and two of her songs, "Naked" and "Whether You Fall," have been featured on Showtime's The L Word. /// In Part 1, Tracy and Ben Arthur meet for the first time. As they begin to discuss their approach to collaboration, Ben proposes two challenges for them to tackle: 1) write a song that is a thematic response to Eric Clapton's classic,"Layla" and 2) incorporate a dramatic tempo change -- which "Layla" is also famous for. Tracy then reveals her lack of enthusiasm for Clapton's ouvre as she considers how this might affect her ability to effectively collaborate.
What do you get when you put musicians in a state-of-the-art studio and challenge them to write and record a new song in a single day? Pure inspiration. BreakThru Radio presents Dubway Days, a documentary-style series that pairs up-and-coming singer-songwriter Ben Arthur with a different musical act each episode to produce a new song at Dubway Studios, one of New York's finest recording facilities. Dubway Days, an original and revealing look at the creative process, only on BreakThru Radio TV.

Let's thank Bernie Sanders, Vermont Independent, for blocking for now the re-confirmation of Ben Bernanke to the Federal Reserve.
Sanders talks about removing Fed kingpin Bernanke.
At the same time, we need to correct Sanders' critique of the Fed.
"The American people overwhelmingly voted last year for a change in our national priorities to put the interest of ordinary people ahead of the greed of Wall Street and the wealthy few," Sanders wrote in a statement. "What American people did not bargain for was another four years for one of the key architects of the Bush economy."
Sander also said the Fed could have averted the financial crisis but failed to perform its "core responsibility" and because of this it's time for Bernanke to go.
In fact, the Fed is performing its "core responsibility."
Mr. Sanders apparently believes the Federal Reserve is part of the government when in fact it is a bankster criminal organization masquerading as a federal agency. The Fed is not federal. It has no reserves. It is not a bank. It was created in 1913 by agents of J.P. Morgan, John D. Rockefeller, and European bankers to take over the U.S. money supply and monopolize the banking system.
Our current economic problems are directly related to the fact the Federal Reserve, the World Bank, and the IMF are allowed to create money out of thin air and create global inflation. Like the corrupt government of Zimbabwe, these criminal organizations create funny money out of nothing. It is a parlor trick accomplished by entering numbers in a computer.
Sanders blames the Bush administration for the economic crisis. It does not matter if a Republican or Democrat is in office. Federal Reserve monetary policy remains the same no matter who the front man in the White House is. Partisan politics and blaming the last seat-warmer will not solve anything.
"The current Globalist Financial Crisis is a Financial False Flag operation. It is a controlled collapse of the globalist economic system, engineered by an international war crimes racketeering organization. The globalist financial system is being intentionally destabilized," writes Alfred Lambremont Webre.
In response to their engineered collapse — and depressions are now scientifically created, as Lindbergh rightly noted after the creation of the Federal Reserve — the banksters and their political minions are demanding world government and a global banking cartel to "regulate" (dominate) the world economy.
Tossing Bernanke out on his ear will not save us from this globalist financial false flag operation. Stalling Bernanke's re-anointment will not slow down the scam.
Only an audit and eventual abolition of the Federal Reserve will save us from the banksters and their criminal scheme. Open the Fed's books will allow us to identify the criminals, arrest them, and put them on trial for economic crimes against humanity.
Sanders and other members of Congress opposed to the bankers need to correctly identify and expose the banksters and their grand scale heist of the global economy.
It does not matter if Bernanke is re-installed on the Federal Reserve throne. It does not matter if his re-nomination is delayed a couple hours or a few days.
The Fed needs to be abolished — and sooner before later if we are going to prevent a total collapse of the economy, the imposition of a dictatorial world government, and the installation of world-wide serfdom and a high-tech slave and surveillance grid.

not surprising, cnn and fox are never going to be bothered by facts, not when they can have sensationalism
in reply to the post about being arrested in your own home after wrestling a gun away from an intruder, you dont need an FID card to keep a gun in your own home, the problem is getting it to your home!
Here is a case where the defendant needs to be locked up for the safety of the community, he already has charges pending, along with that how does a mother leave her child alone with a guy who has open sex cases??????
so is he still in prison and why negotiate what items get tested, why wouldnt they test ALL items, isnt the idea to find the TRUTH??? Too many DA's would rather keep a wrongfully convicted person imprisoned than find out if Justice was served, if there is ANY doubt DNA testing should be done immediately and the da's office should be expediting it, not hindering it!!
the figures are so misleading, it took me a solid 8 months of looking, applying for about 5 jobs a day to get one in my field, and I was really lucky....once someones unemployment runs out they are counted as employed, the real rate is probably around 18%
@ namewithhold , its saturday. students were just relaxing and expressing their opinions.....I find it hard to believe how hard some of the people on this site wants to come down on students, most of them realize that graduation is a huge game changer...some of you have forgotten how hard stufents work and study.....give them a break for chissake
they are extra duty, they sign up for the work when it doesnt conflict with their regular hours, same with traffic jobs
there are no jobs that pay a living wage, it took me 8 months to find a job in my field in which the state says is one of the better fields to find work
i thought it meant that property taxes couldnt be more than 2 1/2 % period, if you raise it that much every year after ten years your at 25%??? I mean, thats what adds up, and for raising taxes when values are lowered, well please kiss me at least before you screw me
the bottom line i the private sector has been gutted for the last 5 years, we can no longer afford to pay the salaries of city workers, like everyone else, less pay more work
I am against the casino plan but as a resort destination, it may be springfields best shot, unless they spend billions in federal grants over the next 30 years doing feasibility studies
geez, i cant believe the number of hacks on this site that blame the govt for gas prices, or those that think drilling will lower prices or the keystone pipeline will help
he can bunk with asher
@fcj9800 reducing minimum wage doesnt allow anyone to pay their own way, some companies are trying to take advantage of the amount of people out of work by lowering wages on skilled positions to half of industry standard, it's been said that if corporate profits and tax breaks lead to job creation, we should be drowning in jobs! The poor and disadvantaged, the majority of them, use these programs as they are supposed to, businesses that accept food stamps for none approved items are the culprit here, only giving the recipients 60 cents on the dollar towards none approved purchases to raise their own profits
geez, i can only guess that it's cops that think this sentence is wrong, we have rules, you play by them, when you dont your punished, cops arent excluded and are not above the law, for any reason
the lottery was foisted upon us with the promise all proceeds would go to the arts and education, politicians lie, there is enough of a tax base to run this state if we vote in people that want the state to run!!! Unfortunately oly politicians run for political office, that has been our downfall
Getting kids apples will save the school system money in the long run, if they got all dells the virii and malware would eat up their budget in a month
when we are all taking hits and making sacrifices those living off our taxes should be the FIRST to make a sacrifice
The unemployment rate is a lie, all the people that were layed off, exhausted their benefits and havent found work arent counted, the real reason for the low number is that people who were layed off are no longer counted as unemployed, its a numbers game, ask anyone trying to find work how much work is available
few americans supported this war, i think most americans realize now that corporate america is guiding our government for their own interests

The big stories of 2014: Mark Davis, the "rookies" and struggling stars. And there's still a lot of fishing left.
Whoever makes the run north at the Bassmaster Elite on Lake Dardanelle is going to win. Period.
Take time to look at the multiple events the pros have fished on Dardanelle so you can estimate who will repeat their good fortune.
Mark Davis is off to his best start ever, finishing in the Top 4 in all four Elites so far this year. He's leading the Toyota Bassmaster Angler of the Year race by 42 points, and he's setting the pace on some of his least favorite fisheries.
With his start-to-finish win at this past weekend's Toyota Texas Bass Classic — bringing his total of TTBC trophies to three — Keith Combs may have established himself as the greatest tour level pro in Texas…ever.
Mark Davis shines as an odds-on favorite in the May 15-18 Bassmaster Elite Series at Lake Dardanelle out of Russellville, Ark., the fifth of nine events of the 2014 season.
Several pros aren't likely to draw lots of players' attention but could still rack up big Fantasy Fishing points.
Take some Fantasy Fishing risks this week with Hackney, Crochet and Biffle.
You have to go back a ways to find a run like this. Here's a look back at some of the great streaks in B.A.S.S. tournament history.
Chris Zaldain's big bass on Day 1 made him the second-highest scorer in Bassmaster Fantasy Fishing on Toledo Bend, even though he was mired in Bucket E.

Alabama Smoking Restrictions Die In Legislature
Legislation to ban smoking in many Alabama businesses has died.
The bill by Democratic Sen. Vivian Davis Figures of Mobile failed in the House Health Committee 4-7 Wednesday.
The government relations director of the American Cancer Society's Cancer Action Network, Ginny Campbell, says she's glad the bill was killed because it was rewritten by the Senate last month to add too many exceptions. The exceptions included bars, private clubs, retail tobacco outlets and electronic cigarettes. Campbell says all employees, including those in bars, deserve to breathe clean air. She says the organization will start over with another bill next year.
Figures has worked for 16 years to reduce the public's exposure to secondhand smoke. She started by getting smoking stopped in the Statehouse in Montgomery.

Sunday Worship 9:00 am
Education10:15 am
There seems to be two times each year when there is a renewed sense of arranging the order of our lives and working towards new habits and routines. One is the obvious one, January 1. Many of us make resolutions and commitments to live in better, healthier ways...often times physically and sometimes spiritually. The other time when renewal often happens is right now, when the new school year begins.
In church life there is often a commitment to make a greater commitment to involvement and faithfulness to this beautiful, yet imperfect, "bride" called "the Church"...also known as "the Body of Christ". One of the greatest challenges is simply feeling connected.
Sunday morning gatherings are important to remind us that the Kingdom is bigger than the friends who are like us and also as a place to be reminded of our responsibility and opportunity to reflect our "bridegroom", Jesus Christ, to our neighborhoods and cities. But deeper community formation rarely happens in "rows", as one pastor stated recently, but more often in "circles"...smaller group settings. Rows and circles both play vital roles in the life of the Church and should in our lives, too. You will be hearing more of this in the next week as we are working on building more opportunities for you to find those circles that will help nurture your faith and give you opportunity to encourage others.
I look forward to seeing you this weekend as Gene Leutzinger challenges us to "not worry about it" and Steve Prottsman returns to lead us in worship through song.
Grace and peace,
Pastor Dave just reached the end of a year in which he gave us an overview of THE BOOK. It ends in the final chapters of Revelation with a bold pronouncement of the new heavens and the new earth. My pronouncement is much less dramatic. I still claim Rev. 21:5: "Behold, I make all things new," but mine is a smaller scale.
This week will mark the beginning of the preschool every morning in the west wing. Stepping Stones Preschool will have about 20 students from 9 to 1 on Mon, Wed, and Fri. They will have younger kids from 9-noon on Tue and Thur.
We are also changing the hours of our food bank. We will be open from 1-3pm on Tue. and Thur. and from 6-8pm on Tuesday. This will allow for more time to separate the preschool from the food bank, and make our hours more convenient for some people.
We have formed a partnership with Good News Bible Church to work together on the food bank. They will provide some money each month for groceries, and will provide some volunteers. These changes were necessary to take this service to the next level. We have an increasing number of clients and it is hard to meet the demand in this difficult economy.
How can you help? We always need money dedicated for food bank use.
This month we could use up to 100 cans of Tuna. Do you suppose you could help with a donation?
October 1 will be scouting for food. the boy scouts collect donated food all over the area and come to our church as a place to sort and box the food. We always receive a generous donation from the scouts.
Thanks for your help!
Pastor Gail
September 11th is our Fall Festival, our Kick Off to fall! Afterward we'll celebrate with a brunch in the Fellowship Hall. There will be lots of goodies and info about how to connect from some of our ministry leaders. Then we are invited to a BBQ at the Big White House at 12:30 pm to celebrate the fall kickoff and Genesis' 5th year as a church body. Be sure to come and start the ministry season off well! Please bring a chair, some friends and something to share.
Ten years after 9/11/2001, we will join Good News Bible Church in a combined communitymemorial service at 845 Pepperwood Lane in Iowa City behind Kmart. Local fire and police will also be honored.
Come on out to The River on Friday the 9th. Maybe you've heard Michelle Butler play the piano, she's awesome. But maybe you didn't know she also went to Italy this past summer to further her musical studies. She will tell us all about her travels, so don't miss it. Dessert will also be served...a win, win!
The River is a friendly and welcoming place! Due to heavier people traffic in the evening though, we will be locking the rooms in the east wing after office hours. If you need access during these hours, please contact one of the staff.
If you see little children in the building next time you come in, Stepping Stones Pre-School has begun. They are holding classes in the west wing of The River. Tuesdays and Thursdays they will be here from 9:00 am - 12:00 pm and Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 9:00 am - 1:00 pm.
After the worship services at both The River and Genesis, let's join together at the Big White House. Bring your friends and family and something to share as we celebrate Fall Kickoff and Genesis' 5th birthday as a church! A great way to spend the afternoon together.
We receive many updates from those serving in the US and around the world. Here is a brief report from each. Please pick up their entire letters in the Resource Room at The River. Lots to pray for, whew, but God is faithful! An easy but important way to serve Jesus!
Jim Goddrich from Iowa's Athlete's in Action writes that five minute meetings are a vibrant part of their relationship with the Hawkeye sports teams. He hands out surveys looking for spiritual interest level. Then they can assist student leaders in preparing meetings for their team. This year 24 freshmen football players indicated a desire to grow in their faith! The large group meetings weekly are drawing a nice crowd. also. Pray for God to move among the athletes this year at Iowa. Pray that He would grow their faith in him and to share it with their friends!
Things are going well for the Lewis's. Pray for their children in school. Pray for english classes and for church member's safety and growth.
Chip Martinison updates us that there are 40/55 states/nations in the University of Miami's freshman class, now that's international without leaving the states! Pray for changed lives and for the Martinson's ministry and marriage and parentling as they live life in Miami. At a school festival on August 23rd they met 5000+ students. They are the only staff at UM. Pray for more workers to reap in the white fields!
Ben Frank who has been the Director now through two summers is encouraging the men of the conference to bring along a young man (10-17) to the first Men and Boy's Retreat (Sept. 23-25). The retreat stems from seeing the development of college age staff taking on leadership roles at camp and grow in their faith and wanting men to learn how to leave a Godly legacy for their children and to follow Christ. This summer, they had over 560 campers attend camp with 32 staff. There were 48 first time decisions for Christ with 72 believers recommitting their lives. One young many broke away from Buddhism and drugs and turned to Christ as his only hope instead. There are new adctivities at camp like kayaking, mountain biking this summer.
Scott Kelsey writes that he met a young Muslim man in Colorado this summer who asked..."How could I learn about Jesus the prophet in Arabic?..."…asked Khalid, who was very adamant about Islam. Since that time, God has worked in this young man's heart and opened iit to the claims of Christ through the "Jesus" DVD created by Cru and discussions with other men. He is excited to learn more. Pray for him and other internationals as 2000 Cru "Jesus" DVDs will be played on 22 campuses in several languages this September.

Ticonderoga "Every day may not be good, but there's something good every day."
That's been Wendy Shaw's mantra the past three years as she's battled breast cancer.
"That's been my saying through this whole cancer journey," the Ticonderoga woman said. "And it's true. Something good has happened every day of my cancer treatment — a phone call, a visitor, a card — every day something happened to help me. I'll never forget the day Barb (friend Barb Greer) brought me a glass of iced tea. She'll never know what that meant to me at that moment."
Shaw learned in October 2009 she had ductal carcinoma, the most common form of breast cancer.
"Cancer gives you a new outlook on life," she said. "What you thought were big problems are suddenly small problems. I appreciate every little thing now."
Shaw had a right breast lumpectomy in January 2009 and began radiation treatments five days a week at the C.R. Wood Cancer Center at Glens Falls Hospital. Those treatments lasted through April.
During that period another tumor was found on her left breast. It also required surgery, but was found to be benign.
Following the radiation treatments, Shaw was placed on a drug regiment to battle the disease. She suffered side affects, including the growth of tumors throughout her body. Those tumors also proved to be benign, but more surgery was needed to remove them.
A year after her initial diagnosis, Shaw developed seromas in her right breast. A seroma is a pocket of clear fluid that sometimes develops after surgery. The seromas were drained every two weeks until doctors learned they were being caused by damaged tissue, the result of the earlier radiation treatments. The solution was two more surgeries, including a bilateral mastectomy in February this year.
"I can't say enough good things about the people at the C.R. Wood Cancer Center," Shaw said. "They were so wonderful to me, so caring and thoughtful. They helped me through everything."
