New queens are an important investment, so it doesn't take long to see why a Queen Rearing Kit makes sense. Now you can raise as many queens as you want - all with no grafting. Plus, you are always sure of the age of the eggs that you want the bees to make into queens. Remember Queens are Eggs for 3 days, larvae for 5 1/2 Days and Pupa for 7 1/2 Days for a maximum total development of 16 days.
Timing is everything with queen rearing, regardless of whether or not you graft or use a no-graft system. Our Queen Rearing Kit comes unassembled with a Comb Box, 110 Cell Cups, 2 Bars with 20 Cell Bar Fixtures, 20 Cup Holders, and 20 Hatching Cages. Includes complete instructions. Some assembly required.
If you want to learn more about the how-tos of queen rearing we recommend Successful Queen Rearing by Spivak and Reuter or Contemporary Queen Rearing, a classic book about the concepts and processes of queen rearing by Laidlaw.Hint 1: If you are incapable of performing a graft, you will find this item a real godsend. The beekeeper who only occasionally grafts is much better off with this system.Hint 2: A glue gun works very well for Cup Holder installation.

U.S. Jesuit Wins Ratzinger Prize
Jesuit Father Brian E. Daley, a professor of theology at the University of Notre Dame, is one of two winners of the 2012 Ratzinger Prize sponsored by the Joseph Ratzinger (Benedict XVI) Vatican Foundation. Established in 2010 to promote studies in theology and philosophy, the prize is considered the "Nobel of Theology."
"I was amazed when I was informed that I would receive this honor," said Fr. Daley, who a historical theologian specializing in the early history of Christianity. "It's a privilege and an honor for the Society."
Fr. Daley and the other winner, Remi Brague, a French professor of the philosophy of European religions at Ludwig- Maximilian University in Munich, will receive their prize from Pope Benedict XVI at the Vatican on Oct. 20.
Italian Cardinal Camillo Ruini, who heads the scholarly committee that selects the winners, called Fr. Daley "a great historian of patristic theology." Cardinal Ruini also said Fr. Daley "has published an impressive — and I mean incredible — number of scientific articles on patristic theology, but also studies on the life and spirituality of the Society of Jesus, as well as on theological and ecumenical themes of current interest."
Fr. Daley called his vocation a "wonderful blessing" and is grateful that he has been able to combine his priestly ministry with his academic interests and teaching career. Fr. Daley traced his interest in the early church fathers to a research paper during his freshman year at Fordham University in New York. It's important to study the roots of the church to help us to understand today's church, according to Fr. Daley.
Fr. Daley is the author and editor of numerous articles, books and publications, including "The Hope of the Early Church," "On The Dormition of Mary: Early Patristic Homilies," and "Gregory of Nazianzus." He is also a consulting editor of the English edition of the magazine Communio, which then Cardinal Ratzinger co-founded in 2003.
In addition to teaching and writing, Fr. Daley serves as the executive secretary of the Catholic-Orthodox Consultation for North America.
Learn more about this year's Ratzinger Prize at Catholic News Service, and listen to a podcast at the New York Province website to find out more about Fr. Daley's research, current projects and life in the Society.
French Jesuit and Two Others with Jesuit Connections to be Canonized on Oct. 21
A Jesuit and two others with Jesuit connections will be among the newest Catholic saints canonized by Pope Benedict XVI on Oct. 21, 2012. Among those being elevated are: Blessed Jesuit Father Jacques Berthieu, a French Jesuit missionary; Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha, who will become the first Native American saint; and Blessed Peter Calungsod, a lay Catholic from the Philippines.
"The Society rejoices that the church canonizes a new saint from among us, proposes him as a model to all the faithful, and invites them to seek his intercession," writes Jesuit Father General Adolfo Nicolás in a letter to all Jesuits published in America magazine.
Fr. Berthieu, martyred in Madagascar in 1896, was a diocesan priest for nine years before deciding to enter the Society of Jesus at age 35. A highly successful missionary, he was appointed to the Madagascar mission where he nearly tripled the number of mission stations on the island's northern end.
While accompanying refugees who were attempting to escape a violent rebellion, Fr. Berthieu was attacked and brought to the attackers' village, where their chief lived. Fr. Berthieu refused to accept the chief's offer to become a counselor to his tribe. The chief promised to spare Fr. Berthieu's life if he would renounce his faith, but Fr. Berthieu replied that he would rather die than abandon his religion. Fr. Berthieu was then attacked and killed by several men with clubs, and his body was dumped into a river.
Reflecting on the new Jesuit saint, Father General Nicolás, writes: "May the Holy Spirit help us put into practice the choices of Jacques Berthieu: his passion for a challenging mission that led him to another country, another language, and another culture; his personal attachment to the Lord expressed in prayer; his pastoral zeal, which was simultaneously a fraternal love of the faithful entrusted to his care, and a commitment to lead them higher on the Christian way; and finally, a life lived as gift, a choice lived out every day until the death which definitively configured him to Christ."
Blessed Kateri Tekakwitha was born in 1656 in Ossernenon (now Auriesville) in upstate New York. Her father was a Mohawk chief, and her Catholic mother was a member of the Algonquin nation. At age 4, she survived a smallpox epidemic that killed most of her village and her family, and she suffered from poor eyesight and health for the remainder of her life due to the illness.
Blessed Kateri, deeply moved by the preaching of the Jesuits who traveled among the villages, was baptized by the Jesuits at age 20. She then dedicated her life to prayer, penance, caring for the sick and infirm and adoration of the Eucharist. In 1677, she began a 200-mile trek to a Jesuit mission in Canada where she could more openly practice her faith. Her health continued to deteriorate, and she died on April 17, 1680, at age 24.
Blessed Kateri also has a special connection to the Jesuits' Fordham University in New York. While it was not the official miracle that paved the way to her sainthood, she is attributed with saving the life of Fordham football player John Szymanski over 80 years ago. When Szymanski suffered a severe head injury during a 1931 Fordham football game, his surgeon announced there was no hope for his recovery, and Szymanski received last rites. But Fordham students began praying a novena and asked God to heal their classmate through the intercession of Blessed Kateri. Szymanski made a full recovery.
Blessed Peter Calungsod, or Pedro, as he is known, was a lay Catholic from Cebu, Philippines. He accompanied Jesuit missionaries to Guam as a catechist and was martyred there in 1672. As a young boy, Calungsod studied in the Jesuit town of Loboc in Bohol. He was chosen at age 14 to accompany the Jesuits in their mission to the Marianas Islands. At 17 he and Blessed Jesuit Father Diego Luis de San Vitores were martyred in Guam for their missionary work.
For more on these new saints, visit the following: EWTN News, Fordham Magazine, Manila Bulletin and Catholic News Service. The New York Province Jesuits also have several podcasts about Blessed Kateri on their website, including one with Jesuit Father Peter Schineller, province archivist, on the canonization process and the meaning of her life for us today.
"Mr. and Mrs. Jesus Christ?" on New York Times' Editorial Page
The recent discovery of an ancient Coptic papyrus by Harvard church historian Karen L. King that mentions Jesus' wife has some questioning its authenticity. But Jesuit Father James Martin wrote in a recent op-ed for The New York Times that even if it is found to be authentic, "Will this fascinating new discovery make this Jesuit priest want to rush out and get married? No."
In his article titled "Mr. and Mrs. Jesus Christ?", Fr. Martin wrote that it is more likely that Jesus was celibate since the papyrus is said to date from the fourth century — roughly 350 years after Jesus' life and death.
Fr. Martin said there are several reasons Jesus might have remained unmarried: "Jesus, who knew the fate of other prophets, may have intuited that his public life would prove dangerous and end violently, a burden for a wife. He may have foreseen the difficulty of caring for a family while being an itinerant preacher. Or perhaps he was trying to demonstrate a kind of single-hearted commitment to God."
Fr. Martin wrote that even if evidence of a married Jesus is found from an earlier date, he won't stop believing in Jesus or abandon his vow of chastity.
It wouldn't upset me if it turned out that Jesus was married. His life, death and, most important, resurrection would still be valid. Nor would I abandon my life of chastity, which is the way I've found to love many people freely and deeply. If I make it to heaven and Jesus introduces me to his wife, I'll be happy for him (and her). But then I'll track down Matthew, Mark, Luke and John, who wrote so soon after the time of Jesus, and ask them why they left out something so important.

Jesuit Historian on the Legacy of Vatican II 50 Years Later
Yesterday marked the 50th anniversary of the opening of the Second Vatican Council, and Jesuit Father John W. O'Malley, a historian, theologian and professor at Georgetown University in Washington, D.C., gave his thoughts on the legacy of Vatican II in both an interview with the Vatican Insider and an op-ed piece in The New York Times.
Fr. O'Malley says that one of the council's legacies is that it gave the church "a new role as reconciler in a world torn apart by hatred and threats of violence."
Reconciliation was one of the great themes running through the council, according to Fr. O'Malley. "The document of the liturgy, for instance, promoted a reconciliation of the church with non-Western cultures by inviting symbols and rituals from those cultures into the liturgy itself. The church thus distanced itself from the Western 'cultural imperialism' that affected even Catholic missionaries," he says.
"Related to that reconciliation but perhaps even more pertinent for today's world, was the reconciliation with Jews and Muslims, as expressed in the document Nostra Aetate. This meant putting behind us a tradition of belittling and denigrating those faiths, a tradition that had contributed to the horror of the Holocaust," says Fr. O'Malley. "Pope John Paul II set a marvelous example by his many meetings with Jewish groups, as it is well known. Less well known, but in today's tense international situation even more important, were his many meetings with Muslims."
Fr. O'Malley says that Vatican II has already passed from experience and memory to history. Future generations, he says, "will experience what the council did not as a change but as 'the way things are' and maybe assume that is the way things have always been."
In his op-ed piece, Fr. O'Malley concludes: "The post-Vatican II church was not a different church. But if you take the long view, it seems to me incontestable that the turn was big, even if failures in implementation have made it less big in certain areas than the council intended."
Read the full interview with Fr. O'Malley at the Vatican Insider website and read his op-ed at The New York Times website.
New Dean Chosen for Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University
A distinguished moral theologian and ethicist will become the new dean of the Jesuit School of Theology of Santa Clara University on July 1, 2012.
Jesuit Father Thomas J. Massaro is currently Professor of Moral Theology at Boston College's School of Theology and Ministry.
"We are delighted that Fr. Massaro will be leading the Jesuit School of Theology as a premier national and international center of graduate theological teaching, research, and ministerial formation," said Santa Clara University Provost Dennis Jacobs. "As a teacher, scholar and Jesuit priest, Fr. Massaro brings great passion and a commitment to excellence in all that he does."
Fr. Massaro's teaching interests include Catholic social ethics, theories of economic justice, sociology of religion and the history of Christian political thought. His scholarly pursuits also flow from his deep commitment to hands-on social activism, particularly in labor justice and the promotion of peace.
"I am very eager to start my work as dean of Jesuit School of Theology," said Fr. Massaro. "The extraordinary reputation of the school as a leader in theological education is well deserved. For decades, it has been preparing men and women for learned ministry in a distinctive way, one that is culturally aware and intellectually rigorous. What a privilege it is to help prepare Catholic lay and religious leaders for tomorrow's church."
The Jesuit School of Theology (JST) of Santa Clara University, located in Berkeley, Calif., is a preeminent international center for the culturally contextualized study of theology. Its mission is to inspire and prepare men and women to become leaders in the Church, academy and society, serving others through a faith that does justice. Rooted in Ignatian Spirituality, JST educates and trains Jesuits, religious, ordained and lay students from across the United States and from 40 other countries for lives dedicated to ministry and scholarship.
Fr. Massaro is the author or editor of five books, including American Catholic Social Teaching (Liturgical Press, 2002); Catholic Perspectives on Peace and War, (Rowman and Littlefield, 2003); U.S. Welfare Policy: A Catholic Response (Georgetown University Press, 2007) and Living Justice: Catholic Social Teaching in Action, Second Classroom Edition (Rowman and Littlefield, 2012).
A regular columnist for America magazine and sought-after public intellectual, Fr. Massaro lectures frequently on the moral evaluation of public policies regarding domestic and international issues such as foreign policy, anti-poverty efforts and globalization.

AAPL jumps to 2013 high on Black Friday in half-day session
updated 06:40 pm EST, Fri November 29, 2013
Stock's recent rise reflects expectations for record quarter
Apple's stock finally surpassed its previous 2013 high on Friday, beating the $549.03 mark to close at $556.07. The former high mark came on January 2, reflecting a year that saw the company doing brisk business in revenues, but penalized by Wall Street for lacking any category-redefining product or service, and being slow to update existing products. The perception -- not wholly accurate -- that Apple was losing influence and marketshare also played a role.
AAPL Black Friday session
Despite the advice of activist investors such as Carl Icahn, AAPL doesn't appear to have significantly benefitted from its initiation of a sizable quarterly divided and an aggressive stock-buyback program, even with dividend payout increases throughout 2013. Icahn and others have called for more aggressive moves, including a larger stock-buyback program that they believe will intensify investor interest in Apple, causing a rise in the share price. Instead, Apple's recent steady increases over the summer look to have been driven by two primary factors: anticipation of new and refreshed products, and the sales results of said products.
The stock tumbled in the early months of 2013 and again in June, giving first-time investors a pair of golden opportunities to get in and make some serious money -- savvy investors who bought AAPL at its low point of around $400 in the spring saw a 39 percent return on investment in just seven months, with the stock likely to continue generally rising on expected strong sales and revenues over the holiday season. Apple itself took advantage of the lows, retiring some $16 billion in stock in the third quarter of the year alone -- a move that would cost it an additional $4 billion were it to buy that same stock now.
NASDAQ, the exchange on which Apple and most tech companies are listed, also saw a record high on Friday, closing at a 13-year high of 4,059. The surprising rise on Friday was due primarily to technology stocks, bucking losses on the day for both the Dow exchange and the S&P 500. Apple's market cap once again sits above the half-trillion dollar mark, with its price-to-earnings (P/E) ratio sitting at 14 and earnings per share (EPS) at nearly $40.

An increase in calls requesting the cost for obtaining a "certified" copy of a property deed led to the discovery of a scheme occurring in Clermont County.
Clermont County Recorder Debbie Clepper said companies are sending residents letters, offering a service to obtain certified copies of their property deeds. Most likely a property owner already has a copy of their deed, which is provided during a closing when they purchased property, she said.
These companies are privately held companies, not affiliated with any government agency, Clepper said. The letters may state the importance of having a certified copy of your property deed or even quote the U.S. Government Federal Citizens Information Center website. These companies also estimate a price of $60 or more to obtain a copy of a deed.
Although this is not illegal, you will be paying a significantly higher amount for the record than you would pay by personally requesting a copy from the recorder's office, Clepper said.
A property deed is considered a public record and is available at the recorder's office, she said.
"As your county recorder, I would like to let citizens know the real cost of getting a certified copy of your deed, mortgage or other recorded documents. It is $2 per page and $1 to apply the certification stamp and seal. The staff at the recorder's office can do this while you wait," Clepper said.
Residents are able to receive a certified copy of requested documents with same-day services from the recorders office, she said. The average deed is three pages, the total cost of a certified copy would be $7. Citizens will save time and hassle of filling out forms, mailing them in to these companies and waiting for the delivery of a certified copy.
In addition to deeds and mortgages, the recorder receives documents for powers of attorney, mortgage releases, assignments of mortgages, federal tax liens, home owners association liens, Ohio Job and Family Services liens and some leases, Clepper said. Citizens are able to access records and print a copy free of charge through the recorder's website: www.clermontcountyrecorder.gov and accessing the online record site at: www.landaccess.com.
In order to obtain copies, citizens must know the township where their property is located, the date the property was purchased and the name of the person who signed the document. No appointments are necessary. Citizens are welcome any time during regular business hours of 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Monday through Friday. Call the office at 732-7236 for more information.

You might have noticed the shape animations on the front page. and more than likely you've noticed the news posts about them. they have caused a lot of controversy because of a humor vs. animation debate. I have come to understand both sides of arguments, but i have come to my own conclusion. This conclusion is that nobody has the right to criticize your work and people are overreacting with this whole thing. I personally believe that if a animation is lacking in animation but is very good in humor, it can still be a decent animation. this could work vice versa. its stupid how people are debating this and thats why i wrote this...please comment

Group B Strep (GBS) is a type of bacteria that causes problems for pregnant women and their newborns. It is most often found in the vagina, rectum and is sometimes detected in the initial urine culture performed at the first prenatal visit.

The fatality rate is 5%.
A woman is typically tested between weeks 35 & 37; there is some controversy on the timing because although she may test negative earlier she may in fact be tested positive at the time of labor.

The timing of the mistakes couldn't have been any worse for Bay Port on Friday night.
Seemingly every time the Pirates were building momentum, a self-inflicted miscue helped take it away in their 21-13 loss at Green Bay Southwest with the Fox River Classic Conference title on the line at Dahlin Family Stadium.
"We turned the ball over, which is uncharacteristic of us and that made it difficult," Bay Port coach Gary Westerman said. ...

White stays mum on education superintendent job
BATON ROUGE - Gov. Bobby Jindal's pick to be Louisiana's next education superintendent says it's not appropriate to talk with education board members about the job until the Nov. 19 election is over.
John White, head of the state-run Recovery School District, says he's focused on his current position and hasn't been talking to the members of the Board of Elementary and Secondary Education about his candidacy to be state superintendent.
White told the Press Club of Baton Rouge on Monday that he'll talk about the superintendent's job when BESE is settled and its members certain.
Three of the eight elected BESE seats are in runoff elections. The governor also has three appointees to the 11-member board. BESE will vote on a new superintendent after the new terms begin in January.

Jane Pitt has an ally in her future daughter-in-law's father, Jon Voight.
Angelina Jolie's dad, 73, spoke out to FOX411 during a recent interview about Pitt's pro-Mitt Romney, anti-gay-marriage letter (published by Missouri's Springfield News-Leader on June 14), which, since its release, has garnered intense backlash and a few death threats from angry readers.
Telling the host he agreed with the views of Brad Pitt's mom, Voight said, "Good for her!" (The ultra-conservative actor is no stranger to political controversy himself: He once denounced President Obama for championing "anti-Semitism throughout the world.")
In her letter to the News-Leader, Pitt criticized Obama, urging Christian voters to support Romney instead, and in doing so "give their vote prayerful consideration" by staying true to the religion's anti-abortion, anti-gay-marriage views.
Though Brad and his younger brother Doug Pitt don't happen to share their mother's conservative views, Doug opened up on the "Today" show recently about the "healthy" political debates that go on within their family.
"I think moms and dads and kids agree to disagree all over the world," he told Matt Lauer. "So why would our family be any different? There can be healthy discussion when people disagree with you."
Added the Missouri native, "The bad thing is when it turns to venom and negativity, and we don't have any of that in our family. It's open discussion."

For Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie, who got engaged this spring, the fight for marriage equality is still a major factor when it comes to setting a date for their nuptials.
"We actually, really and truly, have no date," Pitt, 48, told reporters at Cannes in May. "We're still hoping that we can figure out marriage equality in the states before that date."

Higginson 2nd in steeple in PR 9:27
Published by
By Jack Pfeifer and Dave Hunter
SACRAMENTO, Calif. – Ashley Higginson ran away from Stephanie Garcia on the final lap to place 2nd in the women's steeplechase on a warm Saturday afternoon here at the national championships. Higginson ran 9:27.59, eight seconds ahead of her previous lifetime best, moving to 5th on the all-time U.S. list in the event. The meet concludes on Sunday.
Higginson, a 25-year-old Princeton graduate currently enrolled in Rutgers law school, finished 2nd to Emma Coburn, whose winning time of 9:19.72 broke the Hornet Stadium and meet records. Coburn ran 9:17 earlier this season.
Garcia, who went back and forth several times with Higginson, slipped to 3rd, in 9:32.76.
Higginson's previous best was 9:35.72, set this spring at Princeton. Her winning time fell just short of the fastest ever run by an Ivy League graduate, 9:22.76 by the Brown grad Anna Willard six years ago.
"With three-and-a-half laps to go, I kind of took off," Coburn said, "and when I saw my time at the end, I was really surprised. I'm not great in the heat. It shows that I'm in better shape."
"Hats off to Emma for creating that respect and having us so motivated to just try to clip her heels as long as we can," Higginson said of Coburn. "She is world-class, so it is really cool to have her in the meet."
Higginson has begun her summer law internship back home in New Jersey. "I am excited to be able to go to work on Monday and say, 'I came in 2nd!' And they are really great – so aware – and they are huge fans," she said of her new colleagues.
Higginson insisted that she had not been aware of the pace she was running during the race. "No, no, thank God. It (the PR) means a lot. It means the work has been worth it. Last year I made the team, but I could not crack 9:40. In many ways, it was a huge upset.
"I came out of that season unhealthy and not happy. It is nice to recollect that it was a huge build year."
Of Garcia, whom she passed for a final time with a lap half to go, Higginson said, "Stephanie is a class act. In a lot of ways, we have had similar journeys. I really admire her."
Heather Miller, the only Central Park Track Club member who lives in St. Paul, Minn., recorded a big lifetime best in the heptathlon, totaling 6,100 points to finish 4th, one place higher than a year ago, when she scored her previous PR of 5945. On the final day Miller's performances were 19-6 in the long jump, 131-9 in the javelin and a lifetime-best 2:09.65 800.
Ford Palmer, the 23-year-old novice miler who a year ago was running for Monmouth University in New Jersey and now runs for the New Jersey/New York Track Club, continued his coming-out party with a splendid 5th place in the men's 1,500, running 3:39.78. The race was won by Leo Manzano, who outkicked Pat Casey in the final 100, running 3:38.63. Liam Boylan-Pett, also NJ/NYTC, was 11th.
"As soon as the gun went off, I knew it was going to be slow," Casey said. "I had all the confidence in the world. I might have made my move a little early and I kind-of ran out of steam in the last 50.
I'm proud of the effort I've put in and proud of how far I've come over the last year." Casey, who matriculated at Oklahoma, had not broken 3:40 before this year.
Manzano, who was 2nd a year ago, said, "The overall strategy was to be in the front. Unfortunately, that didn't quite work out…. They gave me a good challenge today. Fortunately I was able to pull away…"
Francena McCorory, who has won many races at the Armory over the years as a prep from Virginia, for Hampton University and as a professional, took the 400 here after a long battle down the homestretch with Sanya Richards-Ross. McCorory ran a lifetime best, 49.48, just ahead of Richards-Ross's 49.66, her fastest time in several years.
"I ran my lights out today," McCorory said. "It was also great running against a great field and you know the times will be good. It is more motivation. Starting out strong was my main focus today."
"I thought my race went really well today," Richards-Ross said. "I got out hard. I thought I was right there in striking distance. I felt like I ran my curve better today than yesterday. I thought I had done enough.
"But Fran ran a phenomenal race. She PR'd today to beat me. Before I came to this meet, I was 51 seconds. But to leave here at 49.6, I am really pleased.
"Fran has been a great talent. To see her getting better and better is just going to make all of us better. I am really happy for her. She's had a great season. But next year," Richards-Ross warned, "is a different story."
The New Yorkers Natasha Hastings (50.53) and Phyllis Francis (50.80) were initially listed as 3rd and 4th, but Francis was later disqualified for stepping on the line on the turn. It should be noted that the NCAA rulebook allows runners to step on the line but not over it, while the international rules applicable here do not.
In the women's long jump, won by Friday's 100-meter champion, Tianna Bartoletta, Jessie Gaines, the LIU grad, passed all three of her attempts in the qualifying round.
In the semifinals of the 400-meter hurdles, Jernail Hayes, former Seton Hall runner, advanced to Sunday's final, finishing 4th in her semi in 56.04.
Amanda Bingson, who throws for the New York Athletic Club, defended her championship in the women's hammer, throwing 246-3, winning by more than 10 feet. Two other NYAC members also placed in the event, Jeneva McCall 6th at 225-8, Gwen Berry 7th at 225-6.
"My series went better than expected," said Bingson, who set a stadium record. "I'm pretty happy with it. I'm not quite satisfied because I didn't hit as far as I wanted to. But overall I'm happy. It's still fairly early on in the season."
Sunday's final day includes the women's 1,500, whose field includes the New York high school girl Mary Cain, Stephanie Charnigo of the NJ/NYTC, and the Ivy graduates Morgan Uceny (Cornell) and Kate Grace (Yale).
Charnigo ran a lifetime-best 4:09.00 to advance out of Friday's semifinals, .08 ahead of Cain.
"It actually went pretty smooth," Charnigo said. "There weren't a lot of elbows or kicking or anything. I was able to execute my plan just as Gags and I had talked about," she said, referring to her coach, Frank Gagliano.
Cain, who was 2nd in this meet a year ago as a 17-year-old, said of her semifinal run, "I was a little more comfortable than usual. Not because of the speed or anything. But just because I'm training for the long pull. That's all that matters.
"I ran 4:09. That's not bad. I was happy with it. And it was windy. So it is just nice to advance. Now that I'm in the final, I don't care what happens. I'm in good shape."
"We're peaking for August, so I am not super-duper sharp. But the other day I did the second-fastest 400 I've ever done – 55.9. And that was after a 1,200."
Grace, who finished half a second behind Cain, said, "This is my first attempt at a championship 15. I look back at the 8s. I can't believe there are three heats. Those girls are beasts. I am happy there are only two heats of the 15."
As to Sunday's final, he said, "I want to leave it open to anything. But in the past few years, it has gone out pretty slow. Especially in the heat, it will be interesting to see if that happens."
She also commented on the recent Ivy League distance resurgence. "I am so proud of it. It is fun following your school. I feel an allegiance to all of the schools. It is such a close-knit community there. I am happy to have people to cheer on."

A good sports referee would have cited the 2013 Legislature for violating the two-thirds rule for passing a tax increase. Instead, regarding AB 46, they stuck that task to the Washoe County Commission. The WCC has no financial oversight over the Washoe County School District. Oh, what a tangled web.
In the July 23 WCC meeting, there were two elements present: special interests that feed off more taxes and general welfare reps saying don't drink the Kool-Aid, pass it back to the Legislature.
Fifty percent-plus of the Nevada budget is education.
It's 2013; in the name of transparency/accountability, Nevada Ed ought to put online an actual line-item budget. If you work for Nevada citizens, show us the records.
Figures don't lie, but in recent years, Clark and Washoe schools districts actually spent between $11,000 and $14,000 per pupil per year; more than leaders of Nevada Education have led us to believe.
As in sports, so in good government - to play by the rules (constitution) you need a moral, ethical, educated and informed people.
What will the WCC do, punt or go for the power and self-validation of passing an unconstitutional tax? Will they take steroids or play by the rules?

After showing initial signs of unwillingness to put up a fight for a Cabinet choice, President Obama now seems ready to go toe-to-toe with Senate members cool to his nominees for defense secretary and CIA director.
Such a switch by Obama, after caving to opponents of making Susan Rice his next secretary of state, is a healthy reminder that filling Cabinet posts is a presidential prerogative and that any objections can be addressed during Senate confirmation hearings.
So let the hearings begin for former Nebraska Senator Chuck Hagel, who was picked to serve as secretary of defense and John O. Brennan, tapped to run the CIA.
Both Obama choices will take heavy political baggage to their confirmation hearings. Hagel is mainly under fire for the perception among some that he is hostile to Israel, while Brennan will have to explain, for instance, his role in escalating the CIA's drone war as Obama's counterterrorism adviser.
A sign of what's in store for Hagel was influential Democratic Sen. Chuck Schumer's comments, which essentially echoed the non-committal words of Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell. Both simply said the decorated Vietnam Veteran deserved a fair hearing.
Hagel will have to make clear to senators his views on U.S. policy toward Israel, but it must be kept in mind that it is the president who signs off on foreign policy. Hagel will have no more power than Obama's former Defense Secretary, Robert Gates, also a Republican. Gates opposed U.S. involvement in Libya, for example, but it was Obama who made the final call to intervene.
As for Brennan, deputy executive director of the CIA during the first term of President George W. Bush, he could face strong opposition from liberals who turned back his potential nomination for the top CIA job under Obama in 2009.
Upcoming hearings will reveal much about both nominees, but they will speak volumes about the kind of leader Obama will be in his second term.

Arrow of God
by Chinua Achebe
Arrow of God Chapter 2 Summary
- This chapter is a flashback to a few years ago.
- Umuaro decides to go to war against Okperi, but it is divided.
- Ezeulu reminds the village that the foundation of their six villages – Umuachala, Umunneora, Umuagu, Umuezeani, Umuogwugwu, and Umuisiuzo – each lived separately, vulnerable to Abame's slave raids. So the people hired a team of powerful medicine men to establish a god that ruled over all of them. This is when they took the name Umuaro. The priest of Ulu became the priest of their common deity.
- And now they are going to war, against the advice of the priest of Ulu.
- Ezeulu reminds them that the land belonged to Okperi when they came together, and that Okperi also gave them the deities Udo and Ogwugwu. He wants no part in fighting the men whose ancestors originally gave their ancestors land.
- Nwaka stirs the men up with his war cry. He claims that his father tells a different story about the founding of Umuaro, one in which the men of Umuaro were wanderers, and were driven away from their land by Umuofia, then Abame and Aninta.
- If they do not fight today, Nwaka warns, it is because they have married the daughters of Okperi and their men marry the daughters of Umuaro and so they have lost heart for war.
- The men roar, and it is clear that Ezeulu has lost the speech, especially since his mother is from Okperi.
- Different men get up to speak. One man, Akukalia, is fiery in his support for war. The oldest man from Akukalia's village gets up to speak and says, "Okay, we're sending you, Akukalia, but let me remind you that you are going to offer Okperi the choice of peace or war. We are not going to make war, but we will do what they decide."
- Ezeulu rises to his feet, angry. He says that the people who have spoken are afraid to be cowards or they are hungry for war. He claims that if the land is truly theirs, Ulu will fight on their side. But in truth, they are sending somebody as an emissary who will start a war.
- Akukalia and two others set of for Okperi the next morning. As they walked, they passed women coming to the famous Okperi market.
- Akukalia, whose mother is from Okperi, explained that the great market was a result of great medicine. His mother's people created a deity who allowed their market to flourish, even though there were other markets nearby.
- One of Akukalia's friends says that they say the same story about the Nkwo market, which attracts even the white men and their merchandise.
- Finally, the men reached the farmland that was the issue at hand. It was fallow and hadn't been used for years. Akukalia says he can remember coming to this land with his father when he was just a child; he's surprised that his mother's people are now claiming it.
- One of his companion claims that it is the white man's fault. The white man had told them not to fight and now that the white man is not around, the weaker one rises up to bully the other.
- The third man with them, who hasn't said much until now, says that Akukalia should ask why Okperi let Umuaro farm the land and cultivate it for years if it really belonged to the Okperi.
- Akukalia claims it isn't their job to ask questions, but simply to ask them if they want war or peace. And, he reminds them to hold their tongues. He claims that he understands the Okperi since his mother is Okperi; he believes that they are a people who say one thing and mean another.
- The three men finally reach Okperi around breakfast time. They go to one of Akukalia's relative's compounds, that belonging to Uduezue. They are not smiling, but Uduezue asks them how their people are.
- Akukalia replies they are well, but he has an urgent mission and must see the rulers of Okperi at once.
- Uduezue says he wondered why they were here so early, and if his sister, Akukalia's mother, had still been alive, he would have wondered if something had happened to her. He offers them a kolanut.
- Akukalia says that they can't think of anything else until they have taken care of their mission.
- Uduezue says that's fine, but then why don't they draw a white line of chalk on the floor? Akukalia refuses to do even that.
- So Uduezue leads the men towards the man who will receive their message. On the way, Akukalia feels very tender towards the village of his mother, and thinks fondly of his mother, who had always been harsh with him.
- They reach Otikpo, Okperi's town crier. He and Uduezue whisper together, then Otikpo offers the men a kolanut.
- Akukalia refuses and says they can't eat or drink until they have come to relay their message.
- Otikpo asks if he can hear their message or whether it needs the town elders.
- Akukalia says it needs the elders.
- Otikpo says they have come at a bad time. Like all the villages around here, the elders are not accessible on the market day.
- Akukalia says he knows this but the mission can't wait.
- Otikpo suggests that they should sleep in Okperi and see the elders in the morning.
- Ebo enters and Akukalia refuses to shake his hand. He also says that it is not possible to see the elders on market day.
- Akukalia says, again, that his message can't wait.
- Ebo says that unless his message is that the earth is coming to an end, they can't hear the message today. Ebo has never heard of a message that could not wait for market day to end.
- Akukalia asks if war came to their town suddenly, would they still wait for market to call the men together?
- Ebo and Otikpo start to laugh. Akukalia and his companions exchange glances.
- The conversation breaks down into yelling, and Ebo tells Akukalia that if he wants to shout like a "castrated bull," he'll need to wait until he gets back to Umuaro.
- (This was the wrong thing to say to a man who is impotent and whose wives were secretly given to other men so they could bear children.)
- Akukalia attacks Ebo and busts open his head. Ebo leaves for his house to get a machete.
- Akukalia follows Ebo, rushes into his hut, takes his ikenga from the shrine, and splits it in two.
- The crowd calls to Otikpo to leave him alone. Ebo is shocked and horrified at the desecration of his shrine, and Akukalia challenges his manhood, daring him to do something.
- Ebo looks at his shrine and begins to weep, calling on his dead father to help him. Then he rushes into his hut and grabs a gun. Akukalia sees the danger to himself and runs forward. But it's too late; Ebo shoots Akukalia and he dies.
- Everyone in Umuaro is shocked when the body is brought home. An emissary had never been killed before. But then they realized that he had done an unforgivable thing. Who could bear a sacrilege like the kind he had inflicted on Ebo?
- This might have ended the affair but they were worried that Okperi had not sent a message to them about what happened. Everyone agreed that Ebo had to do what he did, but when a man was killed, somebody had to say something. If Okperi chose not to say anything, they were showing great contempt for Umuaro. And Umuaro had to do something about it.
- On the fifth day after Akukalia's death, the men assemble in the village. Many of them think they should just let the matter drop. Others say their pride cannot take it. They must do something.
- Ezeulu was the last to speak. He reminds them of what he advised when they met before, that the adults should not send Akukalia, a mere child, to do this errand. So now he speaks to all the adults who should have known better. He tells the story of a great wrestler who went from village to village, beating all the other wrestlers. Then he wrestles spirits, and he beats them too. He challenges the spirits to bring their best and strongest, and they sent him his personal god, his chi, who smashed him to the ground.
- No matter how great you are, he reminds the men of Umuaro, you should never challenge your own chi. That is what Akukalia did. Today, he says, we are doing the same thing when they talk of taking war to Okperi. Will Ulu fight in blame? he asks.
- Ezeulu warns his people that if they go to war to avenge the death of a man who challenged his chi and rightly died, they will all suffer the consequences.
- At the end of the meeting, Umuaro is still confused. Some want to go to war, others do not. Those who want to go to war have a meeting with Nwaka, a meeting that did not include Ezeulu or anybody from his village.
- Nwaka tells the men that they do not need the permission of the Chief Priest of Ulu to go to war. He is not the king. He is only there to do the ritual required of the god.
- Then Nwaka begins to attack Ezeulu's character, saying he wants power, to be king, priest, diviner, everything. Ulu's priest can't control what they do because he is not king.
- So they go to war. Umuaro kills two men from Okperi on the first day. Then Umuaro kills four men and Okperi kills three.
- Then the white man, Wintabota, marches in with his soldiers and stops the war. The men are afraid of these white soldiers, having heard the story of what they did to Abame.
- So the war is ends. The white man gathers all the guns and breaks them all, except a few that he takes with him. Then he gives the disputed land to Okperi.
- The flashback ends.

The investigation revealed that Rockland Nissan at 608 Route 303 claimed financing was available to all and misled customers on the terms of lease and purchase agreements, the office of New York Attorney General Eric T. Schneiderman said.

NANTUCKET — The Conservation Commission told the town and the Siasconset Beach Preservation Fund on Wednesday that they overstepped the bounds of their permit while working on the island's bluffs.
The two groups installed a 900-foot buffer of large sand-filled textile bags to protect the steep cliff face from winter storms. Crews backfilled tens of thousands of cubic yards of sand behind the bags to stabilize the bluff. More sand was piled on top of the wall to replace the material that would have eroded from the cliff and fed sandbars and beaches that naturally buffer the bluff from waves.
The town wants to protect Baxter Road, which provides access and utilities to houses along the bluff. Residents want to save their homes and hope to get permission to construct a much longer wall.
According to Natural Resources Coordinator Jeff Carlson, the Conservation Commission said the project proponents exceeded the limits of their permit by installing a drainage pipe that ran from the top of the cliff to the beach. Sand had been placed outside the permit area.
The commission granted proponents a four-week extension, until March 19, Carlson said, to come back with a new plan for review that shows why the drainage system and other changes are needed. If they want the structure to remain beyond the winter, proponents still need to file a notice of intent that could result in a permit and an order of conditions from the commission.

My father and his line of Befort are from the Volga River Valley - Obermonjou, Saratove, Russia - Germans from Russia. Gerhard Befort and his family came to the U.S. in 1878. In fact 97% of the village of Obermonjou came to the U.S. at the same time. They are all Catholics. They settled in Ellis County, Kansas and founded the town of Munjor among others.
Those coats you are talking about probably came from Russia with them. Usually made from Bear. They also had black felt boots and funny hats. My father was the first generation in his family to speak English as the primary language.Sherihttp://firstname.lastname@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7192545380462506435.post-65416853781694642202009-01-16T14:55:00.000-08:002009-01-16T14:55:00.000-08:00Some smaller towns may be a little slower to drop ...Some smaller towns may be a little slower to drop the habit of "visiting." In my little Texas home town during the 70s and 80s we would drop in on one another freely; we didn't really have porches, but you could leave the front door open and the screen door unlatched to indicate that someone was at home and would welcome guests. I remember one of the common "Hello" phrases people would say as they knocked on our screen door was "Got any tea?" (pronounced gotneetee).Greta Koehlhttp://firstname.lastname@example.com

It was a banner day all around for the Redmen; freshman John Aitken carded a 2-over 74 to earn medalist honors. Aitken's twin brother, Drew, shot a 79, and Liebscher's cousin, Kyle Liebscher, shot a 90. Calvin Desjardin also contributed a 91.
Twelve days ago, while his Killingly teammates participated in the Wildcat Invitational golf tournament, Brad Liebscher stayed in Putnam on a driving range.
The senior was playing poorly to start the season, so much so that he had gone from the second player in the Redmen's lineup to the fifth. Thus, he was not needed for Killingly's four-person team at the Wildcat, so off to the range he went.
"I just lost my confidence, and I just had to get my swing back," Liebscher said. "It was my Dad (Robert) pushing me, because my Dad is the one that's always pushed me to play golf. He's always taught me everything about it, and he was like, 'You have the swing. Just play your game; you'll be good.' "
That confidence helped Liebscher turn in a great performance in Thursday's Eastern Connecticut Conference Open championship at Quinnatisset Country Club. Liebscher shot an 81 from the fourth position — the best 18-hole high school round of his life, he said — which propelled Killingly to a 324 total and a one-shot victory over Norwich Free Academy for its first ECC title since 1972.
It was a banner day all around for the Redmen; freshman John Aitken carded a 2-over 74 to earn medalist honors. Aitken's twin brother, Drew, shot a 79, and Liebscher's cousin, Kyle Liebscher, shot a 90. Calvin Desjardin also contributed a 91.
"Isn't it amazing? Five guys playing, four scores counting, and it comes down to one stroke. And we talk about that all the time," Killingly coach Kevin Marcoux said. "Kid hits a bad shot or misses a putt and they don't take their time, and it's going to come back to haunt you. It comes down to winning by one shot."
The 15-year-old John Aitken, whose boyish looks hide a competitive fire, was at even par coming into his 18th hole, which was the third hole; players went off in a shotgun start. Despite pulling his drive into the lake that borders the hole to finish with a double bogey, he placed two shots in front of the runners-up, Nick Kamireddy and Justin Bohara, a senior and junior, respectively, from NFA.
"I like the course, it fits my game," John Aitken said. "I played very well this week. My irons were very good. My ball-striking was superb, and that really helped my game."
Wildcats coach Bob McPhail lamented the close defeat, saying, "it's always one stroke." Frankie Lee and Billy Wallace contributed an 82 and 91, respectively, for NFA. Ledyard (344), Tourtellotte (350) and Stonington (350) rounded out the top five.
Still, with only a few matches left in Kamireddy's high school career, one that took off with a 75 in the ECC Open three years ago as a freshman, McPhail realized what a special player he's had.
Page 2 of 2 - "He was a steady player all four years, and that's tough to maintain," McPhail said. "How many times do you see someone have a good stretch? It might be a year, half a year, and then they're down at the bottom again. Nick has been pretty steady."
The ECC has used the same 2-foot-high bulky trophy since 1965, and naturally it weighs about the same as a full golf bag. Now, ECC coordinator of competition Pete Gerardi — who, as a Killingly High student, was medalist for that 1972 championship at Foster Country Club — won't have to look to the dull, faded side of the trophy to find his alma mater's name.
"In my mind, 320 was a really good goal," Marcoux said. "I went around the course and saw some of the pins ... Three-twenty-four was an excellent score for us, excellent score."

At Dahlia, we have been asking Greenville moms to give us their favorite flowers, and the results are in! Here's a synopsis of our survey, and a top tip on how to give them for Mother's Day.
1. ROSES. Believe it or not, roses still won out! I believe roses will always be a top choice, thanks to history and fragrance. Poems, stories and legends abound about roses. And on top of that, their fragrance is divine.
TOP TIP: Not all roses are fragrant, but the ones that are, don't last as long. However, the Mohanna Rose ( a gorgeous yellow rose) is long lasting AND fragrant.
2. HYDRANGEA. A southern tradition came in a close second! Just drive around any Greenville neighborhood to agree with this result. Their large, drak green leaves frame the fluffy blooms nicely.
TOP TIP: Hydrangea need lots of water. If buying cut stems, make sure to shave away a thin layer of the outside bark about 2" up from where you cut it, for maximum water intake.
3. & 4. LILIES AND DAISIES. These two favorites tied for 3rd place. Both blooms are impressive in size, and are shouting, "Hey, look at me!" Some moms love lilies for their fragrance, and of course, daisies are the happiest of flowers.
TOP TIP: A great way to create an impressive arrangement for your mom is to combine lilies and daisies together. Why? Because of their contrasting shapes; One is star and trumpet like, and the other is flat and round. Combining the two allows for a very dynamic arrangement.
5. & 6. TULIPS AND CALLA LILIES. Another tie! Tulips and Callas remind me of 1920's Hollywood classic women, with their long, elegant sillouettes. With both of these flowers, less is more.
TOP TIP: Tulips grow about an inch a day, and towards the sun. For this reason, recutting the stems and turning the vase around daily will keep your tulips from getting out of control. Calla lily stems will become mushy if in too much water. They only need a couple of inches of clean water to stay hydrated.
7. PEONIES. Mostly in shades of pinks, peonies are famous for their abundance of fluttery petals.
TOP TIP: Peonies are appreciated by gardeners and floral designers alike, because their season is short lived. So when a mother receives peonies in her bouquet, she knows that you are giving her something truly special. When designing a flower bouquet, mix peonies with longer lasting flowers to maximize the life of the arrangement.
8. ORCHIDS. Orchids come in so many varieties, and some are really fragrant. Orchids are another bloom that stands well on their own. We are in luck, here in the south, because orchids love high humidity.
TOP TIP: Dendrobium orchids as a cut flower stem are actually at about the same price as a rose. For a truly elegant arrangement, a few stems of orchids added can definitely impress your mom.
9. TRADITIONAL DAISIES. These are the field daisies, with the yellow center. They mean innocence, cheerfulness and beginnings. A classic flower that has a long vase life.
TOP TIP: Daisies mixed with delphinium, larkspur and bells of Ireland create a true wildflower arrangement. Add natural raffia or burlap as the bow, and your mom will feel loved!
10. ALL OTHER FLOWERS: Iris, sunflowers, gardenia, lilacs, foxglove, daffodils and zinnias all made the list. Moms definitely have opinions on flowers, but all moms agree, that they love ALL flowers!
TOP TIP: When ordering Mother's Day flowers, ask the professional for advice. An example would be that some mothers love bright colors, where others prefer pastels. It's our job to ask you the right questions, and to create a custom bouquet that will make your mom smile.
