GRAND RAPIDS (WZZM) -- Republican Congressman Justin Amash is joining other party members in calling for the resignation of Republican National Committeeman Dave Agema.
Agema has come under fire after posting anti gay and Muslim remarks on his Facebook page. Sunday, Betsy DeVos also called for Agema's resignation from the RNC.
RELATED: Snyder: "I appreciate Betsy DeVos speaking up" against Dave Agema
Rep. Amash issued the following statement Tuesday afternoon:
"Defending civil liberties is at the heart of the Republican Party and our Constitution. As I've demonstrated with my words and record, I am trying to grow a new generation of Republicans that includes more gays and lesbians, racial-ethnic minorities, women, and young people.
"Dave's approach has become a distraction for those of us who are standing up to the political establishment, whose push for bigger government, more corporate welfare, and less individual liberty have hurt our party. I hope Dave will do the right thing for the next generation of conservatives and step down. And I hope that the politicians who are criticizing Dave will stand with me in protecting civil liberties with their votes and actions, not just their rhetoric."
WASHINGTON (Detroit Free Press) -- The drumbeat of calls for Republican National Committee member Dave Agema to resign over controversial comments and postings made on Facebook got louder today, with the RNC set to meet in the nation's capital on Wednesday.
Three Republican members of the state's congressional delegation added their voices to those calling on Agema, a former state representative from Grandville, to step down after a string of Facebook postings and comments which have been described as anti-gay, anti-Muslim and intolerant.
"Those who seek to be leaders must strive to be inclusive and respectful of others," said U.S. Rep. Candice Miller, R-Harrison Township, who called for Agema to resign in a news release this evening. "Dave Agema has failed this test and should resign."
U.S. Rep. Fred Upton, R-St. Joseph, also called on Agema to resign, just a day after he offered support for former state party chairwoman Elizabeth DeVos' doing so but declined to call for the resignation outright himself. U.S. Rep. Justin Amash, R-Cascade Township, also told MLive Agema -- who he has praised for his service in the past -- should step down, though he did so only after his Republican primary challenger, businessman Brian Ellis, called Agema to resign earlier in the week.
Amash's office did not answer multiple requests from the Free Press last week regarding Agema's comments and the call by some for him to step down.
The Free Press reported Sunday on how national and state Republican leaders decried Agema's comments and how they could hurt a party looking to expand its base. However, top party leaders -- including Gov. Rick Snyder, state party chair Bobby Schostak and national party chair Reince Priebus -- have so far denounced the comments without specifically calling for his resignation.
In early December, Agema made remarks at a meeting suggesting gays manipulate the system to get free health benefits because they are dying of AIDS at a young age. He called it a "moral ... biblical issue." Then, this month, he re-posted on Facebook a defense of a Russian law widely denounced as anti-gay and a religious tract that asked "Have you ever seen a Muslim do anything that contributes positively to the American way of life?"
Agema has not responded to numerous calls and emails from the Free Press.
Not everyone in the delegation has spoken out against Agema's remarks. The office of U.S. Rep. Mike Rogers, R-Howell, did not respond to a request for comment last week. Today, U.S. Rep. Kerry Bentivolio's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment going into Wednesday's RNC meeting.
Bentivolio's Republican primary opponent, David Trott, added his voice to the chorus calling for resignation, however.
"He believes Mr. Agema should resign," Trott's spokeswoman, Megan Piwowar said. "His comments are offensive and there is no place for bigotry in the Republican party."

(NBC NEWS) -- Netlix is branching out into new territory.
Not content with handling other company's movies and TV shows, Netflix is now making its own,
starting with the political drama "House of Cards".
CEO Reed Hastings says the company took its inspiration from HBO, hoping a similar move into original content will grow its audience of 27 million subscribers.
The company is investing $100 million for 26 episodes of "House of Cards", luring the likes of two-time Oscar winner Kevin Spacey.
Spacey plays a devious Congressman in the series, out to subtly undermine a newly elected president.
Unlike traditional TV offerings, the show's entire first season of 13 episodes are being released simultaneously.
Netflix will do the same thing later this year with another show they're bankrolling, brand new episodes of the cult comedy "Arrested Development".
It's an effort to beat online rivals such as Amazon and Hulu to the original content punch.
Still, some media observers have doubts about the 'binge viewing' that's allowed by releasing all episodes of a TV show's season at one time.
The notion is that it diminishes the word-of-the-mouth buzz building that's generated
when a series plays out over several months.

POTSDAM - Founded in 1816 as the St. Lawrence Academy, The State University of New York at Potsdam is one of Americas first 50 colleges - and the oldest in the SUNY system.
Now, as SUNY Potsdam approaches its bicentennial year, the college is ready to mark another milestone.
SUNY Potsdam is the first campus in the State University of New York system to launch its third comprehensive campaign.
Take the Lead: The Campaign for Potsdam aims to raise $27 million by the colleges bicentennial in 2016. The Take the Lead Campaign has already raised $17.4 million in its advance phase - or 64 percent of the goal.
I am thrilled on behalf of the State University of New York, the SUNY Board of Trustees and the entire SUNY System Administration leadership team to say congratulations SUNY Potsdam - this is a fabulous campaign. I love Take the Lead, because that is what SUNY Potsdam has done since 1816, Chancellor Nancy L. Zimpher said. I want Potsdam to soar and use this campaign to lay the foundation for another 200 years of academic excellence and service to New York.
SUNY Potsdam will kick off the campaign with a campus celebration at 6:30 p.m. Friday in the Barrington Student Union. Students, faculty, staff, alumni and friends will join in the festivities to celebrate the remarkable progress so far, and thank the generous donors whose gifts have made such a difference to the campus already.
People often use the word family to describe the Potsdam campus community. It is remarkable to watch alumni and friends, like strong branches, nurture and support budding students to allow them to grow and flourish, leaving an amazing example of leadership. The Potsdam family tree has at its roots an educational and creative tradition that will continue to hold strong into the colleges third century, President Dr. John F. Schwaller said. The Take the Lead Campaign will ensure that every students experience at SUNY Potsdam will be transformational.
Built on the momentum of tradition, innovation and creativity, Take the Lead: The Campaign for Potsdam will shape the colleges third century.
The strategic priorities of the Take the Lead Campaign are:
■ The Annual Fund for Potsdam: The Annual Fund for Potsdam provides flexibility and prepares the College to take advantage of unanticipated opportunities and meet pressing needs. Unrestricted gifts to this area will ensure a competitive edge.
■ Scholarships: Scholarships are essential for providing access and recruiting deserving and academically promising students. Scholarships will help elevate the entire institutions intellectual capital, and fulfill the Colleges historic mission of making the best in higher education affordable to all.
■ Academic excellence: By investing in faculty excellence, state-of-the-art academic equipment, technology and facilities, the campus will motivate its students. The learning environment is the heart and soul of the SUNY Potsdam experience.
■ The student experience: Students who participate in high-impact learning experiences are more successful in their lives. Experiences such as student-faculty research, study abroad, internships and leadership opportunities will increase graduates confidence and marketability.
■ The arts: The arts distinguish Potsdam among her state and national peer institutions. The campus aims to expand its arts outreach and weave creativity into the fabric of life and learning not only for SUNY Potsdam students, but also for the entire Northern New York community.
In Potsdam, theres just something that was and is extraordinary. It draws me there every year. There are so many things in the world that stop us from being the powerful people we can be, and Potsdam made me realize that I could grab my dreams, said Campaign Honorary Co-Chair Stephanie Blythe 92, a Metropolitan Opera star. As we go out into our lives and become passionate about what we have learned and about passing that on, the greatest honor that the college could give me is the need to give back to the place that has given me so much. Potsdam created that need in me. I hope it creates that need in you.
The acclaimed bestselling novelist T.C. Boyle 68, serves as Campaign Honorary Co-Chair along with Blythe. Boyle will speak at the launch of the Take the Lead Campaign on Friday night.
Michael Galane 74, a senior director for the Hewlett-Packard Company, and famed lyric soprano Lisa Vroman 79 both serve as National Chairs.
Rounding out the Campaign Steering Committee are: Lynne Boles 74, William Flynn 70, Deborah Diefendorf Hind 75, Gary Hind 77, Janice Rowlands Johnson 56, Christine Meda 70 and J. Richard Munro.
Campaign volunteers and SUNY Potsdam faculty and staff gathered along with Chancellor Zimpher in New York City last week to thank leadership donors. Blythe and Vroman performed and spoke at the dinner. Students from the award-winning Crane Opera Ensemble performed scenes from three operas, and Tanasia Betts 13 presented an inspiring spoken word poem that she wrote for the occasion.
Potsdam has so much to celebrate — its hardworking and extremely talented students, its dedicated and brilliant faculty and emeriti, as well as its accomplished and extremely generous alumni and friends. Now, we are very proud to celebrate the launch of our third and most ambitious comprehensive campaign. Our success will ensure that the highest quality education and life-changing experiences will continue at SUNY Potsdam for future generations, said Vice President for Advancement Vicki Templeton-Cornell.

FORT DRUM Civilian emergency medical services providers are encouraged to attend the Battlefield Emergency Care training Thursday on post to learn how military providers handle trauma.
Charles F. Brenon III, Jefferson Countys director of emergency services, said the training will showcase the military as being on the cutting edge of developments in increasing the survivability of trauma victims.
The fact that they have such a high-speed system and expertise in trauma, its good to get our civilian folks exposed to that trauma base, Mr. Brenon said. We hope they learn the newest developments coming through the military care system.
Some new resources that civilian providers may see, he said, include whats called a pelvic compression device, which is used to help decrease bleeding from lower extremity wounds.
Mr. Brenon said one helpful item civilian providers learned about from similar training a few years ago was use of hemostatic gauze. Going by the trade name of quick clot, the gauze rapidly causes blood clotting to stop severe bleeding.
That has since come in general use in emergency medical services, Mr. Brenon said. We also learned through military medicine the use of longer needles in chest decompression.
Civilian EMS providers more frequent use of tourniquets also was learned from the military. Mr. Brenon said that, when he took his EMS training in 1979, tourniquets were used as a last resort to compress a blood vessel.
Knowing how beneficial the sharing of civilian and military practices and resources is, Mr. Brenon said the 7:30 a.m. to 4 p.m. training will provide participants with both lectures and visual and hands-on simulations. Topics include behavioral implications for combat soldiers, improvised explosive device wound patterns and initial EMS concerns, regional trauma systems and definitive care and tactical combat casualty care. Simulation will be provided through the posts Bridgewater-Vaccaro Medical Simulation Training Center.
Capt. Martin L. Stewart, who is in charge of the simulation center, said the Fort Drum medical community wants to assist civilian providers with this training because it has a vested interest in maintaining a robust professional relationship with the north countrys EMS assets.
Traditionally, the civilian EMS protocols have been several years behind the Department of Defense, he said. However, continued favorable casualty data has allowed the civilian sector to implement combat-proven techniques at a faster rate. Per Charlie Brenon, some local protocols have changed due to information received at the last EMS day event.
Capt. Stewart said the training is offered in support of North Country EMS Week to offer the surrounding medical community exposure to the simulation center and to further establish the centers role as a Northeast regional training center.
While the training targets EMS providers, it is open to all area health professionals. People who would like to attend the training should call Mr. Brenon as soon as possible at 786-3760, or send him an email at email@example.com.
The training is sponsored by Jefferson County EMS, Fort Drum MSTC, Fort Drum Regional Health Planning Organization, North Country Regional EMS Council and LifeNet of New York.

We all just want a car to love
By Greg Marsh on August 12, 2010 at 11:51 AM
I love my car. It is nothing special to look at – a 2003 Hyundai Sonata with a few stray scratches here and there. The interior's showing its age in places, and it could stand a vacuum, but none of that matters much to me – I love it just the same as I did […]

|Wall Street Journal Features Eustace Conway
|Written by Steve Frank
|Friday, 15 March 2013 06:26
Civilization is trying to encroach on Eustace Conway's way of life, but now his conflicts with state and county rules is getting a national hearing. From the front page of this week's Wall Street Journal, Conway, who started his notoriety as the tent-living student, explained his philosophies
and way of living to the Journal, a way of life that is his main income, as he runs a summer camp at his Turtle Island property in Watauga County. But that camp is what is causing the problem. His buildings—all built by his hands—don't meet codes. Conway told Dave Faherty of WSOC-TV yesterday that he has a 'perfect record,' never a health or a building problem at Turtle Island, and doesn't need state or county laws to tell him how to be healthy. There is potential help, as legislators are proposing exemptions of some state codes for primitive sites such as Conway's, but with summer in sight, the question is will that help come soon enough to save his summer income remains to be seen.

Cheese Head (Cara de queso 'mi primer ghetto')
Lasting tradition clashes with new ideas in director Ariel Winograd's tale of a mischievous pre-adolescent whose family spends their summers basking in the comfortable surroundings of a picturesque Jewish country club. Ariel is a young boy whose family enjoys the high life. When summer rolls around his mother leads an Israeli dance class at the local Jewish country club, and his grandmother seems to have a special knack for always winning at rummy. His sister Natalia is rarely seen without roller skates lest she need to beat a hasty retreat from her overbearing suitor, and his brother David's hormones are raging like a white squall. As Ariel and his friends hop on their bikes and explore the grounds of the country club it feels as if life simply couldn't get any better, but sometimes life in this highly exclusive paradise isn't all it's cracked up to be.~ Jason Buchanan, All Movie Guide

Update: Gee, Igarashi and 5 others are re-assigned
The Mets announced this morning that Dillon Gee, Boof Bonser, Ryota Igarashi, Taylor Tankersley, Dusty Ryan, Raul Chavez, Russ Adams and Jason Pridie have all been re-assigned to minor league camp.
So, in the absence of Gee, I guess this essentially means Chris Capuano will be the team's fifth starter, joining Chris Young, R.A. Dickey, Mike Pelfrey and Jon Niese in the team's starting rotation. Initially, I kept saying I'd prefer Gee in the rotation and Capuano in the bullpen. It's a tough call. I didn't see enough of Capuano to be convinced he could pitch in to right-handed hitters well enough to be in the rotation, whereas I am confident in Gee's ability. But, the bullpen is shaping up just fine, without Capuano, and so if it's a numbers game, sending Gee to the minors (for now, knowing he can be called upon again in the future), probably makes sense… for now.
The Mets now have 37 players in major league player in camp, including five non-roster invitees.
Updated at 9:05 am:
So far, according to these posts from reporters on Twitter, Russ Adams, Boof Bonser, Taylor Tankersley, Jason Pridie and Dustin Ryan have been cut from camp… also, add Ryota Igarashi to the list.
For what it's worth, Oliver Perez is scheduled to pitch this afternoon against the Braves, while Luis Castillo is listed in today's starting lineup, batting seventh, at second base. So, based on Rubin's statement about seven or eight players below, plus Alderson saying eight or nine to Puma, I bet any news on Perez or Castillo will likely wait until the weekend.
Original Post at 7:53 pm:
According to Adam Rubin of ESPN New York, Sandy Alderson and Terry Collins are expected to cut seven or eight players from major league camp today, which could include Ryota Igarashi, Russ Adams, Jason Pridie, Justin Turner, Dusty Ryan, Blaine Boyer and 'a handful of others.'
Alderson said yesterday the team will cut eight or nine players over the next two days, Mike Puma of the New York Post said on Twitter.
So, will Oliver Perez and Luis Castillo be cut today?
If I had to guess, I feel there is significantly better chance Perez gets the boot today, while Castillo sticks around. The reality is, strictly from a baseball point of view, there is a case to made for Castillo being on the roster, when considering how Brad Emaus, Luis Hernandez, Justin Turner and Daniel Murphy have performed this Spring. The thing is, in listening to Terry Collins, be it after games, or on air, it just sounds like he has no interest in bringing Castillo to April, because of what he symbolizes to the fans and the amount of historical drama that surrounds him and the team.
And so, the better short-term plan might be to demote Turner, declare Murphy a utility guy, and let Emaus, Castillo and Hernandez keep auditioning over the next week. Also, if the team really wanted to punt, they could find a way to put Hernandez on the disabled list (so he doesn't have to immediately go on waivers), carry one less reliever, and then drag this out further in to the season.

For the Public
State Historian
Appointed by Governor Don Sundquist in 2002, Walter T. Durham, a former Gallatin businessman and public affairs activist, is the current State Historian. He has served the history community in leadership roles such as chairman of the Tennessee Historical Commission, president of the Tennessee Historical Society, and founding chair of the Tennessee Heritage Alliance, now the Tennessee Preservation Trust.
The State Historian is appointed by the Governor for a term of four years and until a successor is appointed. The office is honorary and without compensation and is administratively attached to the State Library and Archives. It is the State Historian's statutory duty "to prepare for publication and to disseminate historical data upon Tennessee history, past and present."
Durham is the author of twenty-four books and more than one hundred articles dealing with Tennessee history. Four of the volumes were done with collaborators. He has contributed articles to encyclopedia and chapters to books by others.
IIn 2004 Durham began publishing the State of State History series to provide critiques of the way the public accesses state history and to publish studies by the state historian of obscure or overlooked aspects of Tennessee history. He also compiled and published A Directory of Tennessee Agencies, Governmental and Non-Governmental Bringing State and Local History to the Public. These innovative studies have established a benchmark for further discovery and sharing in the field.
Four Tennesseans preceded Durham to the office of state historian, established by the General Assembly in 1955. They were Robert H. White, Dan M. Robison, Stanley Horn, and Wilma Dykeman.
Durham is fascinated by his state's story. "Each of the United States has an important history, but few can eclipse Tennessee for its role in the westward movement; the national leadership of Presidents Andrew Jackson, James K. Polk, and Andrew Johnson; the part played by Sam Houston, president of the Republic of Texas and later governor of the same people as one of the United States; for Secretary of State Cordell Hull's leadership in founding the United Nations; and for the strong performance of Albert Gore, Jr., as vice president and his near election to the Presidency. This is just part of the story. It goes on and on."
The State Historian can be reached at 500 Elmington Avenue, Apt. #427, Nashville, TN, 37205, or by phone at 615-678-6328.

BROWNVILLE, Maine (NEWS CENTER) --- Police officers and game wardens carry guns in Maine. Now the question is should forest rangers be allowed to as well.
A bill being considered in Augusta would lift long-standing restrictions on rangers having firearms while on duty. Some officials with the Maine Forest Service say they would feel safer if they were armed while patrolling the woods.
Gary Cook is one ranger whose been working in Maine for decades. He says he's responded to some situations in the woods that were hair raising. In one case he says a suspect pulled a gun on him and a state trooper.
"There's only two groups of people in Maine that can't possess a firearm by law...and that's felons and forest rangers. To me that's unacceptable," he said.
If passed into law LD 297 would allow rangers to carry guns. It would also mandate that they go through training on how to use them.
Yet the bill does have many opponents who say they don't want to see forest rangers armed. That includes the Maine Forest Products Council. Members say if rangers feel threatened in the line of duty it's their duties that should change but the firearm restriction should remain in place.
"If we are pushing them into harm's way then we need to re-evaluate some of those responsibilities that are creating that concern," said Patrick Strauch, who is the executive director for the group, "
The bill is now being considered by a legislative committee. Gary Cook estimates if passed it will then cost about $100,000 dollars to provide guns and gun training for all forest rangers in Maine. The cost of maintaining the program would be then be about $20,000 dollars a year.

State of Wonder (P.S.)by Ann Patchett
Staff Pick
State of Wonder is Ann Patchett's best book yet (yes, even better than Bel Canto). Brimming with mystery, philosophy, intrigue, ethical questions, the flora and fauna of the Amazon jungle, and absolutely beautiful prose, Patchett's new novel should be at the top of your reading list.
What if women could become pregnant into their 70s? What if a woman's fertility could be increased exponentially? What if the ever-encroaching biological clock disappeared? Ann Patchett takes us deep into the Amazon in search of answers to these questions in her latest novel.
The amazingly long fertility window in the female members of the Lakashi Amazonian tribe is the subject of study for a group of doctors. When head researcher Dr. Swenson, after a decade of study, refuses to come home, share her work, or even report back to her bosses, Dr. Eckman, is sent in after her. When Dr. Eckman turns up dead, Dr. Singh is sent in to bring back his body, but also to shake loose Dr. Swenson's research results. What follows is a terrific story of survival, curiosity, culture shock and acclimation, as Dr. Singh makes her way through the jungle and finally tracks down Dr. Swenson. A story thread involving a deaf-mute child, who has somehow defected from a rival tribe, is sweet and eventually astonishing.
Patchett has laser-like insight into her characters; they never feel anything less than real. With anacondas, a hailstorm of arrows, unsanitary surgery, big-business-pharmaceutical greed, ethnocentric interference, and a great story buoyed by wonderful characters, this is must read.
Synopses & Reviews
Publisher Comments:
Award-winning, New York Times bestselling author Ann Patchett returns with a provocative and assured novel of morality and miracles, science and sacrifice set in the Amazon rainforest. Infusing the narrative with the same ingenuity and emotional urgency that pervaded her acclaimed previous novels Bel Canto, Taft, Run, The Magician's Assistant, and The Patron Saint of Liars, Patchett delivers an enthrallingly innovative tale of aspiration, exploration, and attachment in State of Wonder — a gripping adventure story and a profound look at the difficult choices we make in the name of discovery and love.
"Emotionally lucid....Patchett is at her lyrical best when she catalogues the jungle." The New Yorker
"The large canvas of sweeping moral issues, both personal and global, comes to life through careful attention to details, however seemingly mundane — from ill-fitting shoes and mosquito bites to a woman tenderly braiding another woman's hair." O, the Oprah Magazine
"The Amazon setting is something Patchett does rather marvelously....The book is serious, but also so pleasurable that you hope it won't end." NPR
"Packs a textbook's worth of ethical conundrums into a smart and tidily delivered story....Ms. Patchett presents an alluring interplay between civilization and wilderness, between aid and exploitation." Wall Street Journal
"Outlandishly entertaining...[with] a brilliantly constructed plot." Elle
"This is surely the smartest, most exciting novel of the summer." Washington Post
"A superbly rendered novel....Patchett's portrayal is as wonderful as it is frightening and foreign. Patchett exhibits an extraordinary ability to bring the horrors and the wonders of the Amazon jungle to life, and her singular characters are wonderfully drawn....Powerful and captivating." Library Journal (starred review)
"A spellbinder from bestselling author Patchett....Thrilling, disturbing and moving in equal measures — even better than Patchett's breakthrough Bel Canto." Kirkus Reviews (starred review)
"A thrilling new novel....The world imagined in this novel is unusually vivid....Reading State of Wonder is a sensory experience, and even after it's over you'll keep hearing the sounds of insects, and your own head will still be hot." MORE magazine
"An expansive page-turner....Patchett's fluid prose dissolves in the suspense of this out-there adventure...that readers will hate to see end." Publishers Weekly (starred review)
"Patchett makes the jungle jump off the page....This is Patchett's best effort since The Patron Saint of Liars and, yes, that includes Bel Canto." Shelf Awareness
"In fluid and remarkably atmospheric prose, Patchett captures not only the sights and sounds of the chaotic jungle environment but also the struggles and sacrifice of dedicated scientists." Booklist
"Expect miracles when you read Ann Patchett's fiction." New York Times Book Review
In a narrative replete with poison arrows, devouring snakes, scientific miracles, and spiritual transformations, State of Wonder presents a world of stunning surprise and danger, rich in emotional resonance and moral complexity.
As Dr. Marina Singh embarks upon an uncertain odyssey into the insect-infested Amazon, she will be forced to surrender herself to the lush but forbidding world that awaits within the jungle. Charged with finding her former mentor Dr. Annick Swenson, a researcher who has disappeared while working on a valuable new drug, she will have to confront her own memories of tragedy and sacrifice as she journeys into the unforgiving heart of darkness.

Why not:
Net A
router - internet
Net B
3 NICs are sufficient. The setup of n-th NIC is exactly the same as the setup if the first one - no additional difficulties (provided you've got enough slots).
Assuming that all the servers are on the one side, and all the clients on the second, the statefullness is usually sufficient but there are exceptions (ie. active ftp). Then, you need some kind of "proxy". Not sure about samba - there could be problems with discovery, but don't quote me on this.
Or maybe you wanted this ?
Net A
new box == old router =*=*= whatever
Net B
Funny, but also easy.

4 American Studies courses (AMER)
Founded in 1976, the American Studies Program has served hundreds of students from member institutions as a "Washington, D.C. campus." ASP uses Washington as a stimulating educational laboratory where collegians gain hands-on experience with an internship in their chosen field. Internships are tailored to fit the student's talents and aspirations and are available in a wide range of fields. They also explore pressing national and international issues in public policy seminars that are issue-oriented, interdisciplinary, and led by ASP faculty and Washington professionals. ASP bridges classroom and marketplace, combining biblical reflection, policy analysis, and real-world experience. Students are exposed to on-the-job learning that helps them build for their future and gain perspective on the calling of God for their lives. They are challenged in a rigorous course of study to discover for themselves the meaning of Christ's lordship in putting their beliefs into practice. The aim of the program is to help Council schools prepare their students to live faithfully in contemporary society as followers of Christ. Students earn 16 semester hours of credit.
courses are only offered through the American Studies Program of the Council of Christian Colleges and Universities.

Law enforcement personnel discuss the investigation into an apparent attempted murder-suicide incident on July 7.
An unidentified 78-year-old man reportedly committed suicide after attempting to murder a 31-year-old Helper resident in her home at 7:15a.m. on Monday.
According to Helper Police Officer Trent Anderson, the male suspect allegedly attempted to shoot the unidentified woman after getting into a scuffle with the female subject. The woman apparently tried to grab the gun from the man and sustained a gunshot wound to the hand. The man fled the home and the suspect's vehicle was later surrounded by law enforcement officers on Spring Glen Road.
When asked to get out of the vehicle, the man reportedly shot himself and was pronounced dead at the scene. The woman was transported to Castleview Hospital for medical treatment.
The incident remains under investigation, said Anderson.

If the government were to pass an unconstitutional law purporting to ban firearms, two thirds of Americans with guns in their household say they would defy the lawless legislation and refuse to comply, according to a recent poll conducted by Fox News. Even the majority of Democrat and liberal gun owners would refuse to surrender their weapons, the survey revealed. Most Americans also believe that more guns in the hands of law-abiding citizens — not gun bans — would help reduce crime.
The Fox poll interviewed more than 1,000 registered voters in mid-January on a wide range of issues, most of which were related to firearms and the Second Amendment. According to the results, more than half of all respondents said there was at least one gun in their household — and the numbers have been steadily rising over previous years. Another five percent did not know whether there were guns in their home, or they were not willing to answer the question.
Among the 52 percent of respondents who admitted to having a gun in their household, the overwhelming majority said they would defy any "law" purporting to require the surrender of firearms. An astonishing two thirds said outright that they would defy the unconstitutional pretended act of legislation. Some 13 percent were not sure, and just 22 percent said they would give up their guns or submit.
Breaking down the numbers by political affiliation also provided some interesting insight into the attitudes of Americans. In all, 70 percent of Republicans and 68 percent of self-identified conservatives would refuse to hand over their weapons. More surprisingly, perhaps, were the figures for those on the left: According to the survey, more than half of Democrats and almost 60 percent of self-styled liberals would defy any potential gun ban.
Other interesting results from the survey include the American people's thoughts on whether tougher infringements on the Second Amendment would help prevent tragedies such as the Newtown school shooting. Less than one fourth of respondents thought more gun control could help stop such violence, while more than 70 percent said people intent on mass murder would always be able to find guns. About five percent thought new laws might help, but that mass murderers would still find ways to wreak havoc.

Blount Force Drama: 'I just apologize to anyone watching that'
BOISE, Idaho - Oregon running back LeGarrette Blount's biggest connection Thursday night came after the final whistle.
Boise State had just wrapped up an 19-8 win, and players and coaches took the field for handshakes and celebration when Blount punched Boise State defensive end Byron Hout in the face.
KVAL Sports footage of the punch:
Coaches frantically separated the players, and Chip Kelly talked briefly with Blount before pushing him in the direction of the locker room.
As Blount continued towards the locker room under increasing boos and taunts from fans watching a replay of the punch on BroncoVision, he lunged at fans and was restrained by a police officer and game security.
Hout did appear to provoke the incident, celebrating and jesturing directly at Blount immediately before the punch was thrown.
"That will never happen again," Blount told media after the game.
"I will never lose my head like that again, I apologize, I will never resort to that level of sportsmanship," he said. "I should have handled that situation a lot better than I did."
Oregon coach Chip Kelly didn't see the incident but said disciplinary action could come once he reviews the tape of the incident.
"There is no place for that, I do not condone that. I will make that decision if that is the case," the coach said.
Boise State players and coaches had little to no comment on the incident after the game, but safety George Iloka said the incident didn't surprise him all that much based on some of the trash talk that took place during the game.
"I guess he was just mad and frustrated - they felt like they should have won, as much stuff as they've been talking," Iloka said.
But despite the talking, Iloka said there was respect shown after the game as well.
"I ran up to [QB Jeremiah] Masoli and was like, 'good game, I respect you' and he said 'I respect you back,'" Iloks said. "It's just football."
Most players on the field hadn't seen Blount throw the punch until the video was replayed multiple times on BroncoVision.
BSU Sports Marketing claimed oversight of what does and does not get aired during games on BroncoVision but refused comment on the decision to repeatedly replay the punch immediately after the game.

BUFFALO, N.Y. - Sometimes we can't help but root for the underdog in sports and in life. That makes it easy to pull for 15 year-old Josh Oakley of Buffalo, who overcame difficult odds to do something remarkable Thursday.
They say the odds of a baseball pitcher throwing a no-hitter are greater than 15-hundred to one, but Oakley knows a thing or two about beating long odds.
Josh's story began with a childhood where he never knew his father and where his mother battled addiction. He was raised by his grandmother, who unexpectedly died three years ago. It left Josh, just 12 years old, feeling all alone and living a life with almost no direction. His aunt and uncle decided immediately to take him in.
"He was yelling and screaming the day she died," said Josh's Aunt, Vickie Oakley. "(He said) 'I don't want to go and live with aunt Vickie. I don't want to go live with Aunt Vickie, she's so mean. She's so mean.'"
She said Josh thought she was "mean" because she and his uncle insisted he do his homework. For the next three years, they showed him love, sometimes tough love. They also urged him to follow his passion, which is baseball.
"Playing baseball makes me happy," Josh said. "And it gets my mind off things if I'm having a bad day. And it just turns my day around. I live baseball."
Turns out Josh was a natural. He made the varsity team at Riverside High School as a freshman and a pitcher. This Thursday, Josh, who knows all about long odds, tried to beat them. He took a no-hitter into the fifth inning before a batter broke it up. Josh ended up tossing a one-hitter, striking out 18 batters of the 21 he got out.
He was a bit bummed, but only a bit because that young boy, once all alone, found a home on the baseball diamond and with his new family.
"And I couldn't be prouder of him today than I was when he came," Vickie said. "He's my son, as far as I'm concerned."
Josh also considers Vickie his mother now.
"I don't even call (her) my aunt anymore," Josh said. "I call her my mom. And I call my uncle my pops. And sometimes my cousins, my sisters because they're like my true family now. "
Vickie said Josh has changed her life.
"We were out to change Josh. We were out to change Josh's world, and give Josh the best that we had to offer. And it ended up that he changed ours. He changed ours, and he changed it for the better," Vickie said. "I'm a better person because of Joshua. And I don't think that he knows that -- maybe he does, maybe he doesn't -- but I in my heart know. It's funny how God works."
In the end, a young man, like a greater pitcher, learned to work his way out of a jam in baseball and in life.
While Josh just missed a no-hitter, he said he won't let the odds discourage him. He'll try again Monday when he pitches his next game at Coca-Cola field.

SOUTH BURLINGTON–How important is one run?
Pretty darn important if you ask North Country coach Brian Bonvechio.
With nobody out and the Falcons trailing 2-0 in the top of the third of their play-down game with South Burlington, Jared Hussey crossed home plate, but the umpires ruled that he did not touch the dish, and was thusly called out.
North Country's next batter Tyler Sanville would hit into an inning-ending double-play, killing off the Falcons' momentum.
For the full story, see the Express on 6-6-13.

Sometimes the libraries and code used by same programs under different operating systems are different. Also network overhead such as protocol efficiencies and competing programs being run at the same time will affect throughput.
For example, NetBIOS/SMB is known to be an inefficient network protocol and for large file transfers FTP is often preferred when encryption isn't a concern.
You are also running on different hardware, there will be inequalities with respect to ASICs used and overall system architecture. This could affect performance.
The disk drive rates are an ideal number and should be used as a guide, not an absolute.

Rex Ryan and Woody Johnson Chilly About Top Quarterback
Woody Johnson and Rex Ryan were very clear in that they were not going to make a decision yet on who would be the team's starting quarterback in 2013, but they did say that money won't factor into the decision. Sanchez is guaranteed $8.25 million from the Jets in 2013 and that gauranteed figure looms large over any plans the Jets might make in 2013.
"Money, the financial part of it … will not have any of the considerations for it," Ryan told the media yesterday. "We'll play the player that fits what we do best. What we believe gives us the best chance."
When asked whether or not the quarterback job would be open to all players on the roster, Woody Johnson gave an evasive answer. Rex followed on by saying that "we have to get an offensive coordinator in place, then we'll address it from there. Obviously, the situation, whoever the offensive coordinator is, his system, there's going to be a lot of things that go into it."
Brian Bassett, TheJetsBlog.comWhen I see Rex Ryan use the phrase "best chance" in connection with a conversation about the team's quarterback, I now have a Pavlovian response where I want to rake out my own eyes.
We all agree that Mark Sanchez was atrocious in 2012 and we personally think he deserved to get benched dating back to his first game against the Dolphins. The Jets quarterback was unable to read defenses, make his read progressions, shake off defensive backs or just be decisive in any meaningful way over the course of a game. His play ranked lowly by most any metric and now four years in, he's still yet to have a season where he does the bare minimum to be considered an average quarterback by completing just 60% of his passes.
No competent offensive coordinator with a track record for success is going to want to come to New York if they are told that Mark Sanchez must remain the starting quarterback. Someone like Norv Turner or Cam Cameron would have to be pretty desperate to take a job with that stipulation at the start. The Jets played it smart publicly by saying what they did about the decision making process, but aside from Mark Sanchez getting traded, getting outright cut by the team, or signing a veteran free agent quarterback with extended starting experience or drafting one, it's going to be very difficult for the Jets to move away from Sanchez.

|Injuries in Two Morning Wrecks in Watauga
Two injury accidents reported in Watauga this morning, including one that blocked traffic on US 421 just north of Boone—four vehicles said to have been involved in that. The wreck occurred just after 8am at the Brushy Fork intersection as an SUV driven by 17-year old Julianna Bond
pulling out of Linville Creek Road onto US 421, pulling into the path of a north-bound box truck driven by Russell Hollar of Lenoir. Hollar tried to swerve to miss the SUV, but hit it in the front, then went into the south-bound lane where the Stonehouse Daily Bread truck struck the 2006 Ford Explorer of Kristen Carter head-on, her SUV struck in the rear by the 2011 Dodge SUV of Blaine Cornett, which spun and ended up striking the truck and SUV near the front. Neither Carter nor Cornett, both of Vilas, were hurt, but a passenger in Cornett's vehicle was taken for medical treatment by a family member. Cove Creek Fire/First Responders worked with Watauga Medics on the scene to remove Julianna Bond from her SUV for transport to Watauga Medical Center, while others were checked on the scene. Bond was said to have been admitted in stable condition, according to investigating Trooper T.C. Williams. Watauga Rescue arrived on the scene just as it was determined that no one was pinned in the various vehicles involved. Trooper Williams cited Julianna Bond for Failure to Yield the Right of Way in the crash, although she said she was motioned out into the road by another driver, according to Williams.
The state patrol had one wreck investigation already underway further North of the 421 wreck site, and had to clear that scene while another trooper had to be called out of Caldwell County to help work the wreck.
