Rising like a giant pringle from the Olympic Park construction site, the Velodrome is the first of the 2012 London Olympic venues to be completed. With its sweeping curved roof and beautiful cedar clad exterior the Velodrome is a stunning building. But what most of the athletes are excited about is the elegant wooden cycle track enclosed inside, the medals that will be won, and the records that might be broken, in the summer of 2012.

A massive earthquake hit Japan earlier today, registering 8.9 on the Richter scale and the largest ever recorded for Japan. The tsunami triggered by the quake brought a 10m high wall of water in northern Japan, and other countries are now waiting for it to hit their shores.
But what causes earthquakes and tsunamis and what can we do to protect ourselves from their destructive power?

When you try to put democracy into action you quickly run into tricky maths problems. This is what happened to Andrew Duff, rapporteur for the European Constitutional Affairs Committee, who was charged with finding a fair way of allocating seats of the European Parliament to Member States. Wisely, he went to ask the experts: last year he approached mathematicians at the University of Cambridge to help come up with a solution. A committee of mathematicians from all over Europe was promptly formed and today it has published its recommendation.

@Kyle - Drumming isn't all about speed. What Adler does is use simple hand patterns but complicated kick patterns.

Have a Specific Plan for Video B-RollTuesday, December 27th, 2011
A few years ago I came across this mock infomercial called "We Got That B-roll." Anyone who works in video production, or who is familiar with the industry, will find the video humorous. It takes aim at the generic, overused, and sometimes unoriginal b-roll clips that fill up so many documentaries, commercials, and news stories. B-roll is an extremely important part of telling a story on film or video.
- It provides the viewer with context.
- It helps to explain concepts and ideas.
- It offers up visual variety.
- It holds an audience's interest.
Despite its importance to the production, it's amazing to me how so many people are willing to rush through the process of capturing b-roll. Shooting b-roll can't become an afterthought. It needs to be an integral part of the shooting day. Here are a few things that need to happen to ensure that you capture great b-roll for your next project.
- Work it into the schedule. Give yourself and your production crew enough time in the day to set up, light, and shoot b-roll. The last thing you want is to rush around during the last hour of the day, trying to cross all the items off of your shot list. And that leads me into my next point…
- Create a shot list for your b-roll. Don't wait until you get to the location to try and figure out exactly what you want to shoot for your b-roll. You will end up with a lot of footage that just won't fit into your story. And that leads me into my final point…
- Make your b-roll relevant. Don't just shoot the building because you think the architecture looks cool. B-roll should compliment and enhance the subject of your story. It should relate to what's being said, either by those on camera, or the narrator.
B-roll can become a very stale and unoriginal aspect to a video, if not thought out properly. Or, it can be a visually striking element to the production and round out the story like nothing else. Its success or failure depends on how much attention to detail you give to the process during pre-production and production.

KeyBank is closing its Helper branch and will consolidate its operations in the Price branch.
Jack Sparks, KeyBank vice president and interim external communications director, stated that the move is "purely a business decision based on customer traffic and should in no way be perceived as a negative reflection on this community or the performance of the employees Key has there."
Two positions have been eliminated, one part-time and one full-time. These people have been invited to apply for openings at other KeyBank locations in Utah, Sparks said. A third employee will transfer to Price.
When the doors close, it will mark the end of a century of banking at that location. It began with the founding of Helper State Bank in 1914. Prominent businessman and town president Joseph Barboglio founded the bank and constructed the original building. It stood between the A.D. Sutton drug store and Tokyo Restaurant. It was rebuilt after a devastating fire destroyed much of downtown Helper in 1919.
Commercial Security Bank acquired HSB in 1978. Ten years later, KeyBank acquired CSB. The Helper branch was part of that transaction.
Sparks said that KeyBank owns the building.

|And Pass The Envelope Please......

Yes, that was the scenario for Watauga High Athletics Director Tom Wright Monday morning as he was caught in a maze of musical chairs, thankis to the North Carolina High School Athletic Association.
At first, the WHS softball team, which begins post-season play Tuesday at home, was told it would play West Mecklenburg, but the Hawks opted out of the playoffs because they only had nine players on their team. So, the envelope was passed on to A.C. Reynolds about 30 minutes later as the NCHSAA came up with a new bracket.
Unfortunately, approximately 45 minutes after that, the Rockets were dropped from the playoffs replaced by South Caldwelll (10-11), which now makes its way to Boone to play the Pioneers (9-12) Tuesday night at 6 pm at the Sports Complex in the Class 4A playoff opener for both teams. The Pioneers, who haven't won a state playoff game since 2008 (and the only one they've ever won at the fast-pitch level) swept the Spartans during the regular season.

When the doors open again for services at the north countrys oldest African-American church, the new pastor hopes to see the church return to its former glory.
After a closure of two years, Thomas Memorial African Methodist Episcopal Zion Church, 715 Morrison St., will be dusted, polished up and reopened.
Its history, said the Rev. Daren C. Jaime. For years, the church has been a staple in the community, providing spiritual guidance in Watertown.
The church the Rev. Mr. Jaime is taking over was built in 1909 and is on the state register of historic places.
It was a staple in the community because where the churches were, the blacks congregated, said congregation member Buster E. Crabbe. It was built by hand. You had to work by lantern light.
The Henry R. Barr Community Learning Center, which features turn-of-the-century tools and information about past congregation members who came to Watertown via the Underground Railroad, is downstairs in the building.
The Rev. Mr. Jaime is about the 16th pastor to lead the church.
If everyone does their job and we get the church cleaned up and back in line, I think well be very successful, Mr. Crabbe said.
He said the church will need to find grant money or find a volunteer to help apply for grants in order to replace the roof and fix the exterior of the building.
The Rev. Mr. Jaime said he hopes the first service, set for Oct. 6, will be a renewal and revival for city churchgoers.
He was assigned to work in Watertown and in Syracuse at his current church, Peoples AME Zion Church. Sundays for him will begin with a morning service in Syracuse; the service in Watertown will begin at 5 p.m.
Because the Watertown church has been closed for two years, the Rev. Mr. Jaime said he needs to let the churchs old congregation and prospective members know the doors are open again.
Well be walking the streets and meeting people, he said. Well be engaged with social media. A Facebook page will go up in a week or so.
He also has met with several Fort Drum families and said he sees the post as a place from which to draw a multitude of new members.
Theyre also looking for a spiritual home, the Rev. Mr. Jaime said. Were looking to be that source to provide spiritual guidance for many.
For the new pastor, church is not just for preaching.
When the church is in full swing, he wants to have a community service day involving local community leaders.
While were here, we want to provide an impactful and meaningful worship experience, the Rev. Mr. Jaime said. I think that when people see that, theyll want to be a part of it.

1. What was the purpose of the Beach Renourishment Project Segment III?
The purpose of the project was to restore the sandy beaches along the shoreline of Hallandale Beach, Hollywood, Dania Beach and a portion of John U. Lloyd State Park. Restored beaches provide storm wave protection for shorefront properties and recreational opportunities for residents and visitors.
2. Where did the project start and end?
Beach construction began in Hallandale Beach and proceeded north through Hollywood and Dania Beach. At John U. Lloyd State Park, construction began roughly in the center of the Park and proceeded south to the end of fill and north to the south jetty of Port Everglades.
3. How much did it cost and who was paying for it?
The overall cost of the project, inclusive of engineering, design and physical and environmental monitoring, was estimated at about $48 million. Beach and groin construction costs were estimated at $28 million, and mitigation, which is completed, cost $6 million. The federal government was authorized to pay a total of about $28.3 million, the State share was approximately $11.5 million, and the County and cities paid the rest. Of the $8.6 million local share, the County paid $6.4 million and the cities together paid $2.1 million.
4. Before this project, when were beaches in Broward County last restored?
The following table illustrates the beach renourishment history in Broward County.
5. Will the beaches last?
The factors which cause the beach to erode will continue. In the absence of maintenance, the beach project would be expected to last for 10-15 years. Broward County, however, is committed to maintaining the design beach width by implementing one or more of several programs: Sand bypassing at Port Everglades; more frequent, small infusions of sand from a variety of sources; encouraging the vegetation of the beach and the creation of dunes. The goal is a sustainable beach.
6. Who was the prime contractor for the project?
The dredging contractor was Great Lakes Dredge and Dock Company of Oak Brook, IL. Great Lakes is the largest dredging firm in the United States and has the most experience nationwide in beach renourishment projects.
7. Were coral reefs and turtles be affected?
The County took extraordinary measures to protect coral reefs and sea turtles.
Coral Reefs: The "borrow sites" designated as sources of sand for the project were located between and in proximity to coral reefs. The County instituted comprehensive monitoring programs designed to detect adverse impacts to corals before serious harm occurs. In addition, highly precise vessel navigation and logging systems were mandatory, stringent offshore operations procedures required, and specific dredge steaming corridors and operations areas were laid out such that reefs will be avoided as much as possible. In the nearshore, adjacent to the beach, narrow zones of sparsely populated hardbottom (much of which became exposed by erosion of the beach) were covered over time by the equilibration of the new beach. To compensate for the impacts to these nearshore hardbottoms, the County constructed 10.1 acres of new nearshore hardbottom using limestone boulders, and transplanted hundreds of hard corals from the impact zones to the mitigation substrate. Sea Turtles: Sea turtle nests along the beaches of Hallandale Beach, Hollywood, and Dania Beach are routinely relocated to protected hatcheries each year during nesting season. This practice continued during the beach nourishment project. Additionally, a sea turtle monitor was on duty every night, all night, whenever and wherever beach construction activities took place at night. If a sea turtle came ashore to nest in the vicinity of construction, activities were stopped until the turtle returned to the ocean. Finally, a qualified endangered species monitor was on station on the dredge at all times to ensure that no sea turtles or marine mammals are harmed by the project. At John U. Lloyd State Park, beach nourishment was conducted outside of sea turtle nesting season.
8. What would happen if we didn't restore the beaches?
Failure to rebuild eroded beaches would eventually result in the complete loss of many of these economically and environmentally valuable assets.
9. Was the beach closed while they are pumping sand onto the beach?
Yes. A stretch of beach approximately 500 feet long (250 feet on either side of the discharge end of the shorepipe) was closed to public use. Safety and flag personnel were present 24 hours a day to guide the public around the closed area. The closed area of beach, however, moved along the beach quite rapidly as construction progressed.
10. Were there inconveniences for the public?
There was noise in the vicinity of the discharge pipeline as sand was pumped out and while the material was spread with bulldozers to the design beach elevation and width. The bulldozers had back-up alarms for safety, and operated during and after the dredge pumped out its load of sand. At night the discharge was lighted, although permits restricted the extent of lighting due to sea turtle considerations. Also there were front-end loader/forklifts shuttling shorepipe up and down the beach. Flagmen and safety personnel were present at all times. Construction noise was temporary, however, and the area of noise moved along the beach as sections of beach are completed. Our experience was that the inconveniences were minor and temporary, and that the overall construction process was interesting to the public.
11. Were fishing or pleasure boats allowed near the dredging and pumping sites?
No. In the interest of safety, no fishing, diving, or pleasure boats were allowed in proximity to the dredge, tugs, survey or support vessels, pipelines or other construction infrastructure.
12. Did the project affect diving activities?
Again in the interest of safety, diving and snorkeling were prohibited in proximity to the dredge or around areas of offshore activity, including whichever "borrow site" was being dredged. It was expected that turbidity, or water cloudiness, would be elevated in the area of and somewhat down current of the dredging activities, reducing underwater visibility locally.
13. How did weather or rain affect the project?
Activities on the beach, such as spreading and grading the sand, continued in rain or reasonably high surf, but not with lightning. Dredging activities however were limited to generally benign wave conditions.
14. Could a hurricane affect a project?
In the event of a hurricane or severe storm, the dredge and support vessels would take shelter as appropriate. A tropical system or other high wave event could cause accelerated erosion of the new beach, which would be evaluated to see if immediate repair is warranted.
15. Was the project limited to daylight hours?
The project proceeded on a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week basis, excluding delays for weather or mechanical problems. Construction activities on the beach were episodic, however. As expected, discharge onto the beach occurred approximately every 4 to 6 hours, with about a three-hour period of discharge and bulldozer work each event.
16. Were shells and rocks pumped onto the beach along with the sand?
All shells, rock, and rubble over approximately 3/4 inch were screened out on the dredge and were not pumped to the beach. The beach fill was clean sand. The large shells, rocks, and rubble were placed offshore in approved disposal areas. Small shells, however, were part of the beach fill, and we have found that shelling is good during and after the project.
17. Did the pumping affect the water in any way?
At the beach discharge area, turbidity, or water cloudiness, were elevated. The effects of this turbidity were limited to the nearshore area, and did not extend far offshore.
18. How soon was the public allowed to use the restored beach?
As soon as a section of beach was completed, graded, and "groomed" (smoothed), it was opened for use. Where shorepipe extended along the completed portions of beach, sand ramps were constructed over the 30 inch diameter steel pipe at 250-foot intervals and at lifeguard stations.
19. Were buildings, condos and houses affected by the project?
No. As part of the project, the contractor employed vibration specialists to monitor vibration levels from the construction. The vibration monitors conducted a pre-construction inventory of all shorefront structures and infrastructure, continuously monitored for vibration during construction, and, at the end of the project, conducted a post-construction inventory. It was occasionally necessary to temporarily close particular beach accesses while construction occured in the area.
20. Were security procedures be in place for the project?
Security procedures were in place during project construction.
21. What was being built at John U. Lloyd State Park to lock in the sand?
At the northern end of John U. Lloyd State Park, the County constructed three boulder mound erosion control structures: A spur coming off the south jetty of Port Everglades and two T-head rock groins. These structures serve to stabilize the beach at that very dynamic location without adverse down drift impacts. These structures were constructed concurrently with the Hallandale Beach-Hollywood-Dania Beach nourishment effort.
22. Will beaches be restored in other parts of Broward County?
The next phase of the renourishment project will be Segment II of the County, including portions of Fort Lauderdale, Lauderdale-By-The-Sea, and Pompano Beach. However, regulatory agencies have mandated that construction of Segment II be postponed. The current nourishment effort (Segment III) project was monitored for a minimum of 18 months to ascertain whether the environmental permit conditions were adequate to protect the reefs and other resources. At the conclusion of the monitoring period, the County presented the findings to the State of Florida Department of Environmental Protection.

23. Did the project affect July 4 th activities or other events along the beach?
Every effort was made to coordinate construction activities with planned events on the beach and offshore. However, halting the project in favor of a particular event was not a viable option due to the high cost of idling the dredging equipment.

Simple, No-Bake and Tasty!
This simple no-bake cake was a staple for Elizabeth Post, Cindy's mother and Dan's grandmother. It was so tasty and easy to make that it remains one of our favorite quick-fix desserts today! We use Famous Chocolate Wafers in this icebox cake, and our recipe is a version of the one on the back of the Famous cookie box.
- 2 cups whipping cream
- 1 tsp. vanilla
- A pinch of sugar
- 1 package Famous Chocolate Wafers
- Beat the whipping cream, vanilla and sugar on high until stiff peaks form.
- Spread a generous spoonful of the whipped cream onto each wafer. Stack the wafers, then lay them down on a platter.
- Frost with the remaining whipped cream until all the chocolate is covered.
- Refrigerate 4 hours. Cut diagonally to serve.
You can customize the look of your cake by dusting the top with cocoa powder or adding chopped nuts or chocolate shavings as garnish. Of course, the simplicity of the unadorned icebox cake won't fool anyone — it's still delicious as is!

COLTON Though completing the Colton Winterfest road race in zero-degree weather is quite a feat for any human, a pair of canine competitors stood out in the crowd that traversed the 10-mile course on Saturday.
Sophie, an 8-year-old a beagle/pit bull mix escorted by owner Shondel Boyden, and Tori, a 2-year-old pit bull accompanied by her owner, Shannon Kenny, had come a long way even before Saturdays race.
Tori was rescued last year after surviving a horrible ordeal.
Tori was left outside for a week on a chain after being attacked by something. They brought her to the vet who said she had a broken neck, Boyden said. The vet didnt think she would live or if she did, she may not be able to walk again. But she just ran 10 miles today.
After the incident, Toris owner was forced to surrender Tori who was later adopted by a friend of Kennys who later gave Tori to Kenny.
Kenny and Tori completed Saturdays 10-miler as did Boyden and Sophie, who was also rescued, eight years ago.
Sophie was left at the Potsdam Humane Society in a cardboard box when she was a puppy and it was 26 degrees below zero. She was almost dead, Boyden said. Now she runs this race with me every year. Theyve both come a long way.
Boyden and Kenny are twin sisters and regulars at the Colton Winterfest 10-miler, which drew 61 competitors overall on Saturday in its 12th year of operation under race directors Dan and Renee Dominie.
The overall race winner was Jacob Erdman of Gouverneur, who becomes the youngest winner in race history at age 16 with a time of 1:02:19.
This time qualifies as the second fastest for the Mens 19-and-under age group, behind that of Jon French, also of Gouverneur, a mark set in 2002.
The overall female race winner was Suna Stone-McMasters of Canton who ran the second fastest time ever for the Female 40-to-49 age group.
Lyn Short of Canton turned in the second fastest time for the Female 60-to 69 age group, while Doug Hazelden of Bloomingdale and Paul Pierce of Ogdensburg ran the second and third fastest times for the Mens 50-to-59 age group.
The youngest finisher was Skylar Fetter, age 13, from Norwood with a finish time of 1:36:12, and the oldest finisher was Jean Bernaquez of Montreal, age 80, with a time of 1:43:36. Bernaquez becomes the first octogenarian to complete the race.

Tourism recorded positive growth rates in overnight accommodation in most EU countries during the winter season 2012-2013 Publicado em: 27/08/2013
A Eurostat analysis of the winter 2012-2013 tourism trends shows that 15 out of 22 Member States where data is available, nights spent at hotels and similar accommodation establishments recorded positive growth rates during the winter season 2012-13 compared with the same period of the previous year.
The highest increases were observed in Slovakia (+9.6 %) and Malta (+9.0 %).
The total EU-28 figures dropped by 0.4 % during the same period, which can be explained by the decline reported by five Mediterranean countries (Cyprus, Italy, Spain, Slovenia and Greece) but also Finland and France as 45 % of all the nights spent at hotels and similar accommodation establishments of the EU are spent in these seven Member States.
Nights spent by residents and non-residents
The most popular destinations for tourists travelling outside their own country during the winter season 2012-2013 were Spain, Italy and Austria. The flows to these three countries accounted for nearly half of all nights spent by non-residents in the EU-28.
With the exception of Cyprus, Greece, Italy, Finland and Slovenia the number of nights spent by non residents (tourists travelling outside their own country) increased in the EU Member States in the winter season 2012-2013 compared with the same period of the previous year.
At EU-28 level the number of nights spent by non residents in hotels and similar accommodation increased by 1.9 %. Nights spent by residents (people travelling inside their own country) dropped by -2.1 % during the same period. 56.2 % in of hotel nights count for domestic tourism in the EU.

MINNEAPOLIS - Joining the likes of 33 other major college institutions, the University of Minnesota has jumped on the bandwagon of offering free online courses.
"Free education for vast segments of the world who don't have access to our wonderful campuses here in Minnesota is something we're interested in," explained Karen Hanson, Senior Vice President for Academic Affairs.
Coursera is a leader in what are called Massive Open Online Courses or MOOCs. Over the past year, nearly two million people have signed up for classes through Coursera.
The online courses are taught from professors at Princeton, Stanford and now the University of Minnesota. The U will initially offer five courses and there's already talk about the possibility of adding more.
"We'll be looking for a fuller range of courses to experiment with," said Hanson.
The U of M is one of four Big Ten universities to make the announcement along with 29 other universities from 13 countries, which nearly doubles the number of Coursera's participating schools.
"We're excited to see what happens," said Hanson. "We hope it's a benefit to the citizens of the state and citizens around the world and we think it will enhance education here on our residential campus as well."
The first round of U of M classes via Coursera begin in May.

DIY Plumbing: What to Know to Avoid Disaster
For vertical garden-building advice, we talked to Philip Yates of the Singer Hill Café in Oregon City, Ore., founder of website The Vertical Garden Institute. Yates says he learned through a lot of trial and error, and also used the book The Vertical Garden by Patrick Blanc, a botanist considered the inventor of vertical gardens, as a guide.
Start by choosing a wall. "If you've got a wall that's ugly, that's the one you're going to want to do," Yates says. The good news is that almost any wall will do, and unless you want to build a very large vertical garden or plant trees, you don't need to worry about weight load.
What plants you should choose will depend upon the wall you pick and how much sunlight it receives. However, if you'd like to try particular plants, then choose a wall that will provide the best growing conditions for them.
The basic structure of a vertical garden wall is a three-layer sandwich made of frame, plastic sheeting, and fabric. Build the whole setup before hanging it. While you can actually attach it directly to a wall, Yates says, building a frame to hang on the wall means taking it down will be much easier.
Yates uses 3/4-inch PVC pipe, elbows, and four-way joints to build a frame. He advises against using metal (because of the additional weight and expense) and wood (it requires pressure-treating to protect against moisture rot—you don't want water trapped between a wood wall and the frame's plastic).

College of Eastern Utah announces the creation of a new endowed scholarship. Thanks to the Philanthropy of International Power Agency, we are able to offer the Intermountain Power Agency Scholarship.
Intermountain Power Agency graciously gifted College of Eastern Utah with an endowment of $61,000 for the purpose of annually recognizing one student. Beginning with the fall semester 2009, one award will be granted each spring for the following fall semester in perpetuity.
According to James A. Hewlett, General Manager at IPA, the scholarship is to be given to a sophomore, majoring in the fields of Geology or Engineering, maintaining at least a "B" average. Preference will be given to those interested in the study of clean coal technology and who have shown success in their first year of study.
"Thanks to Intermountain Power Agency and their generosity, one more student will be helped to reach their educational goal," said Vice President of Advancement, Brad King.

Growing up in Grand Haven, I never thought of us as segregated. We just didn't happen to have many people of other races in our area, or so I thought.
However, after 10 years living in various areas of the U.S., I returned to our community with a different set of lenses.
Federal data indicates that we live in the 20th-most segregated area in the nation. Not the state. Not our region. In the nation.
People of color live in Northwest Ottawa County, far more than many white residents of Grand Haven realize. They just usually live in different areas, often not far from the city limits, than the white majority of Grand Haven citizens.
Take the local Latino population. According to the most recent Census, almost 9 percent of Ottawa County's population is Latino — twice the percentage of the rest of Michigan. In Grand Haven, however, only 2.4 percent of the population is Latino. Head just a bit south into West Olive and the percentage jumps up to 8.6 percent. Move a bit to the east and south into Allendale and it is 4.5 percent.
The Latino population in our area is growing. Between 2000 and 2010, though the overall population of Grand Haven decreased by 6 percent, the population of Hispanics increased a full percentage point.
However, we have a long way to go as a community before we succeed in welcoming and inviting Latino persons to be full and equal participants in our community.
One of the key reasons I find all of this unsettling is because of the Good News of God. In Ephesians, chapter one, the Apostle Paul writes about the mystery of God's plan of salvation, a mystery that has finally been revealed in Jesus Christ. The church has been redeemed and our trespasses forgiven, according to the "riches of His grace that He lavished on us" (1:7-8). It is to this Church, with wisdom and insight, that God has revealed the mystery of God's will for creation.
What is that will? "A plan for the fullness of time, to gather up all things in Him, things in heaven and things on earth" (1:10).
For Paul, indeed, throughout much of the New Testament, this gathering up of all humanity in the New Creation is primarily about destroying the barriers that have been erected between Jewish and Gentile Christians.
In our day, we have our own barriers that have been erected around us. Make no mistake, though, God's plan to destroy those barriers and gather us all together is not just diversity for the sake of diversity; it is because the gathering up of all things reveals "the wisdom of God in its rich variety" (3:10).
That is, a homogenous church, drawing only from one people group, will never reveal the richness of the depth of the riches of God's wisdom.
To wit, I along with all the white residents of Grand Haven are deeply damaged by the segregation in which we live. We are diminished, unable to see the richness of God through different ethnic groups and cultures — some not very far from us, and some right here in our city — small, but growing. And this damage is being passed along to our children, as the disturbing reality of racial slurs in our schools cast shame upon all of us in this community.
It is time for us, as residents of the Tri-Cities, to do something about the embarrassing stain of segregation and discrimination in our area. But we must approach this with a healthy sense of contrition and humility. Because the system of white privilege so present in our society — in our very community — can blind us to the ways in which we fail to be welcoming, we fail to see the gifts of other cultures.
Unless we are ready to look carefully at the ways in which we are complicit in segregation, we will fail in genuine dialogue and authentic transformation.
Furthermore, I believe the church must lead the way on this issue. After all, Sunday morning is the most segregated time in the United States.
Let's say we defined a racially mixed congregation as one in which no one group comprised more than 80 percent of the whole. By that definition, only 5.5 percent of the Christian congregations in our country are racially diverse.
The church must lead the way by being willing to repent, by being willing to change, by being willing to let go of the illusion that we know what's best and by receiving the rich gifts of grace present in God's diverse creation.

Carl Hagelin, Oscar Lindberg and Jesper Fasth have all been named in Sweden's squad for the upcoming Karjala Cup tournament today. The full international call-ups are a first for both Hagelin and Lindberg.
The Blueshirts trio have made fine starts to their club seasons in Sweden. Hagelin's seven-game stint in Sodertajle has revitalised the Allsvenskan club, winners of six of those games. Lindberg and Fasth, meanwhile, have proved standouts in strong starts for Elitserien sides Skelleftea and league- leading HV71.
Sweden's campaign begins against the Czech Republic in Liberec on November 7.

(Mar 08, 2013) On February 27, 2013, the Egyptian Council of Ministers approved a draft law allowing the issuance by the government of Islamic bonds, known as "sukuk." The intent behind the draft law was to help close the gap in the national budget deficit. It is also supposed to increase the foreign currency national reserves. The draft law is considered the first piece of legislation in The Egyptian Ministers of Council Approves the Islamic Bonds Draft Law [in Arabic], AL ARABIYAH, (Feb. 27, 2013).)
Sukuk is an Islamic financing system through which bonds are offered to fund a public asset or good. Such bonds offer undivided shares of ownership of tangible assets, and under Islamic law these bonds cannot earn interest. (Rodney Wilson, Islamic Capital Markets: The Role of Sukuk, QFINANCE (last visited Mar. 5, 2013).)

Modeled after the popular television program Dancing with the Stars, the event sponsored by Sigma Sigma Sigma sorority at NSU featured local "celebrities" from organizations, businesses and other entities in the community dancing with sorority members.
Some of the local "dancers" were better than others, and that is probably enough said about the actual dancing. The purpose of the event was to provide entertainment and generate funds for the sorority's major charitable cause, and it clearly achieved that goal.
Ticket sales, sponsorships and contributions for the second annual Dancing with the Sigmas extravaganza generated nearly $10,000 in profits for the national Robbie Page Memorial program that provides funding for therapy and other services for children that are undergoing long-term hospital care.
Sorority chapters throughout the nation have provided support for that worthwhile program for six decades, and members and advisers of the NSU chapter devoted extensive time and energy to planning and participating in the local fund-raiser.
A dozen law enforcement officials, educators, business and civic leaders, elected officials and others in the community also helped assure the success and audience enjoyment of the event by setting aside their inhibitions and serving as celebrity dancers.
Those good sports were John Bonnette, Johnny Cox, Dustin Cross, John Godfrey, Marcus Jones, Sheriff Victor Jones, Ricky LaCour, Dr. Ron McBride, Jerry McElwee, Alan Pasch, Jesse Taitano and Dr. Pete Wardell.
Comments from the panel of judges, including Mayor Lee Posey, also spiced up the show that attracted an overflow crowd to the NSU Student Union Ballroom. There are discussions about moving the program to a larger venue, which would likely result in an even bigger crowd and increased revenues for charitable causes.
Numerous joint programs involving the university and the community like Dancing with the Sigmas generate support for scholarships and philanthropic projects while also providing wholesome entertainment and enhancing the social, cultural and educational life of the region.
The sorority, celebrity dancers and others involved in the program should be applauded for the success of the enjoyable, worthwhile event.

Zurich is easy to navigate, and a modern, user-friendly network of trams and buses covers the city daily from 5:30am to midnight. Transport works on a zone system, and tickets are valid for an hour. Tickets are transferable but must be bought before boarding and validated immediately; they are also valid on some boats and local city trains. The most useful travel pass is the Tageskarte (one day ticket) that allows travel on all buses and trams for 24 hours. Night buses depart from Bellevue hourly from 1am to 3am on Fridays and Saturdays. Travelling by taxi is expensive even by Swiss standards, but they are safe and convenient and can be hailed on the street, found at taxi ranks or ordered by phone. Getting around by car is not recommended due to congestion and expensive or scarce parking. From mid-April to mid-October, bicycles can be hired free from various stations.
GMT +1 (GMT +2 between April and October).
Electrical current in Switzerland is 220 volts, 50Hz. Plugs are of the linear, rounded three-pin type, but rounded two-pin plugs will fit the outlet.
The official currency is the Swiss Franc (CHF), divided into 100 rappen (German) or centimes (French). Although not part of the EU, many prices are nonetheless indicated in Euros and some merchants may accept Euros. Credit cards are widely accepted and ATMs are widespread; many are equipped with the Cirrus or Maestro system. Banks offer the best exchange rates, but it is also possible to exchange money at major hotels, main train stations and airports. Banks are open Monday to Friday.
The international country dialling code for Switzerland is +41. Mobile phone GSM networks operate throughout the country. Internet cafes are available in the main towns and resorts; some public phone booths also have internet and email access.

The climate of Zurich is continental, and temperatures are modified by winds off the Atlantic Ocean. Winters are cold, while summers tend to be hot and sunny. In January, generally the coldest month, temperatures range between 14°F (-10°C) and 41°F (5°C), and in July, mid-summer, temperatures range between 59°F (15°C) and 86°F (30°C). The wettest time of year is the summer, between June to August.
Swiss Rail (SBB) provides fast and efficient transport to the city centre. The station is located below the Arrivals Hall and trains leave roughly every 10 minutes for Zurich and other destinations; travel time is ten minutes and fares are determined on the type of pass and the number of city zones crossed. The Glattalbahn tram line services other nearby cities and the outskirts of Zurich. Hotel shuttle buses and a variety of public bus services extend across various routes. The airport is very well serviced by public transport.
Car rental companies include Alamo, Avis, Budget, Europcar, Sixt and Hertz.
Metered taxis are available outside Arrivals 1 and 2. The 15-minute taxi journey to Zurich costs around CHF 70.
Facilities include banks, bureaux de change, bars and restaurants, postal services, shops including duty-free, business facilities and a crèche. Facilities for disabled passengers are excellent.
There are extensive parking facilities at Zurich International Airport, with more distant parking lots (which tend to be cheaper) connected to the terminal building by free shuttles. Prices range depending on the parking lot. Pick-up and drop-off zones are situated along the access road in front of the arrivals and departures sections, but there is a small charge for using even these areas. Parking can be reserved in advance online.
Free wifi is available for one hour. Additional time can be purchased.

By KEVIN SCANNELLSun Advocate reporter
Life has been described by many as a roller coaster, with plenty of ups and downs and surprises around every corner. But not everything thing in life can go the way you want and according to one author life may not always be fair.
"Who Says Life is Fair? The story of a loving dad. His life, his losses, and how he came out a winner," is a book written by Hugh Littrell, 67, under the pen name James C. Wilson, that tells about the story of a father who deals with the fallout of a marriage and the estrangement of his children but who works on overcoming that loss to lead a successful and happy life.
Losing contact or having your own children become estranged is not something that many parents think will end up happening to them, Littrell said.
"The loss of your children through estrangement, it's surprising how much that happens," Littrell said. "I think this story is one that a lot of people will relate to."
The story, which is based on Littrell's life, touches upon many aspects of life.
His marriage to his wife of two children, one girl and one boy, ended after 20 years ultimately ending in divorce. Religion was one of the factors that played a role in the estrangement of the children as they grew older, Littrell said.
Littrell said he has had no contact with either of his children and has not spoken to them in years. Despite the estrangement of his children, Littrell said he is living and approaching life each new day with a positive outlook.
"Life may be unfair, but I've got a wonderful and terrific life I'm living right now," he said.
Born and raised in Denver, Colo., Littrell spent two years working on his book before having it published last February. He first came to Carbon County in 1996 and moved to Kenilworth, where he currently lives part-time in the winter, in 2001. He has lived in Alaska for many years and enjoys spending his time in the summer living there.
"The winters in Alaska, you get kind of tired of it after awhile," he said. "Here, there is lots of sunshine and good weather in the winter."
Spending the time putting a book together was a wonderful experience, Littrell said. Currently he is working on another book right now, an action and justice-oriented story, which he hopes to have published.
While out on the trail selling his book, Littrell said meeting and talking with people about their experiences in life has been one of the best parts about publishing his own book.
"I'm having a wonderful time doing things this way," Littrell said, noting his book is being sold online and at local stores during book signings he attends.
While there is no set way to know how to live a wonderful life, obstacles in life, including estrangement, can be overcome with hard work which can lead to life becoming full of joy and happiness, Littrell said.
"It's [estrangement] about as bad as something that can happen to you," he said. "It doesn't have to wreck your life. I'm grateful for every day that I have on this Earth."
