Browns rookie Colt McCoy thinks it's cool to be in a stretch that includes duels against Ben Roethlisberger, Drew Brees and Tom Brady. President Mike Holmgren thinks falling to 2-6 would be un-cool, but that's what will happen unless McCoy and Co. find a way to follow up a stunner in New Orleans with a win over New England.
The coaches are reaching back to 2009, trying hard to catch that elusive trapeze to 2011.
"We're 6-5 in our last 11 games, and we beat the world champs," Defensive Coordinator Rob Ryan says.
That excludes last year's 1-11 start, incorporates a 4-0 finish, and extends to this year's 2-5 record, highlighted by a win at New Orleans in the last game.
If you were in Ryan's shoes, 6-5 probably would be your number of the hour, too. But another, more important hour is at hand.
So far in 2010, the Browns have beaten only the Bengals, who have fallen apart, and the Saints.
Routing Drew Brees' team was a marvelous road win by any measure, but it was just one win. Surely Ryan knows that the best way to 2011 goes through Sunday's game against New England.
If the Browns beat the Patriots, Head Coach Eric Mangini will be 7-5 in his last dozen outings. Three of the wins will have been against the hated Steelers, the defending Super Bowl champion Saints, and a New England team that:
n Is an NFL-best 6-1 in 2010.
n Has knocked off four 2009 playoff teams.
n Is 132-53 with four Super Bowl appearances under Bill Belichick.
In his only news conference of the season, coming off the New Orleans game, President Mike Holmgren did not give the coaching staff a vote of confidence. He did give the staff nine games, saying he will decide Eric Mangini's fate after the season.
"We are improved over last year," Holmgren said this week. "We brought in some new players that are really making huge contributions in my opinion, and I think they have bright futures here moving forward.
"But ultimately, how many games can we win? I was very encouraged by our win against New Orleans, as I'm sure you were, and now we just have to build on that and keep moving forward."
Easier said than done.
Rookie quarterback Colt McCoy and a No. 28-ranked offense will be up against Hall of Fame shoe-in Tom Brady.
McCoy was somewhat along for the ride in New Orleans, where the defense beat up Drew Brees, but he has been poised enough against the Steelers and Saints to make opponents think.
"He did a good job of managing the game in New Orleans," Belichick said. "He took advantage of the big plays they had, the defense, the special teams.
"He threw accurately, handled the running game, made good decisions. He hung in there against a tough defense in Pittsburgh.
"He looks like an athletic kid ... a good competitor."
An upset would give him a 2-1 record in duels against QBs who have won six of the last nine Super Bowls.
Page 2 of 2 - Browns Offensive Coordinator Brian Daboll worked for Belichick on three Super Bowl winners, but when asked what Belichick might scheme up against McCoy, he said, "I wish I knew."
"I've watched all seven of their games," Daboll said. "What he did in the first game of the year was completely different than what it when he played against (Randy) Moss and the Vikings.
"He had a guy over top of Moss. Against Cincinnati, he had two guys doubling the receivers.
"Against the Jets and Baltimore, he had a plan to stop the running game and jam the wide receivers. He has certain things that show up each game, but then he's going to have a couple of things that you probably haven't seen.
"Whether that's to get another guy in the box for Peyton Hillis, whatever it may be, you have to get that throughout the game."
"It's a great challenge. It's exciting, to be honest with you. He's one of the best that's ever coached."
It is clear McCoy has grown on Daboll, who says, "He wants to do well so bad.
"I've got to say, it's been very enjoyable to meet with Colt. We go on Monday for quite some time and then on Tuesday for quite some time, and he doesn't do it just to say, 'Oh yeah, I'm here, I'm here doing stuff extra.'
"I know it's important to him. He understands football. He understands the situation that he's in as a rookie."
Ultimately, Mangini and his staff understand their situation. How many games can they win? Winning this one might be huge.

A 47-year-old Winnemucca man faces a number of drug charges following a year-long investigation.
The Nevada Highway Patrol says Antonio Pimentel Contreras was arrested after a search warrant was served at his bar.
Officials seized about one pound of packaged crystal methamphetamine and a half-pound of powdered cocaine.
An undetermined quantity of marijuana also was located and seized.
Contreras allegedly is involved in the distribution of controlled substances.
The N-H-P says it's believed his business was being used as a place for narcotics sales and prostitution.
Contreras is being held under 530-thousand dollars bail on charges including possession of marijuana, possession of drug paraphernalia and trafficking controlled substance.

Note: Decisions of a three-justice panel are not to be considered as precedent before any tribunal.
|Chittenden Trust Company
Russell-Norman Payne
Windsor Superior Court
Trial Judge: Alan W. Cook
In the above-entitled cause, the Clerk will enter:
Plaintiff Chittenden Trust Company (hereinafter " the bank" ) brought suit against defendant for breach of a promissory note. Defendant appeals the superior court' s order granting the bank' s motion for summary judgment and dismissing defendant' s counterclaim. We affirm.
In March 2001, defendant executed and delivered to the bank a $20,000 promissory note pursuant to a line-of-credit loan transaction with the bank. Defendant defaulted on the loan, and the bank filed suit to collect the principal, interest, late charges, attorney' s fees and costs due under the terms of the promissory note. In response, defendant filed a " cross-bill" seeking a set-off against the amount due based on his theory that the loan transaction was an exchange of mutual credits. The superior court granted the bank' s motion for summary judgment and dismissed defendant' s counterclaim, stating that defendant had failed to set forth any recognized cause of action. On appeal, defendant argues that the superior court erred in granting the bank' s motion for summary judgment, dismissing his counterclaim, and finding that the E-A-C: Trust had never entered an appearance in the case.
Apparently, defendant's theory is that because the bank created new money from the intrinsic value of his promissory note and then lent that money back to defendant, the bank and defendant are mutual creditors, and defendant is entitled to a set-off of the money he lent to the bank. In defendant' s own words:
In summary, the cross-bill alleges that the Bank received the petitioner' s promissory note as the deposit of a money equivalent asset and, upon receipt, the Bank converted that money equivalent asset, the promissory note, into " new money," and then loaned that " new money" back to petitioner.
The substance of the allegation is that the Bank did not lend its own capital or other depositor' s money to the petitioner, but rather used the legal intrinsic value of the petitioner' s promissory note to create " new money" in the form of credits to a demand deposit bank liability checking account, and then loaned that " new money" back to the petitioner. The net result was that, in substance, the petitioner funded the loan to himself by means of depositing his valuable, money equivalent asset, the promissory note, with the Bank, and that the Bank merely acted as an exchange agent, or money-changer, by converting the intrinsic value of a promissory note into a more liquid form of " money," in the form of credits to a demand deposit bank liability checking account, and then made a loan of that more liquid form of " money" back to the petitioner.
In defendant' s view, the transaction established mutual credits, and thus the bank was, and still is, indebted to defendant for the value of the promissory note deposited with the bank. Moreover, according to defendant, because the issue of whether he and the bank are mutual creditors is a fact question that can be resolved only by examining the bank' s books to determine the origin of the money the bank loaned him, the superior court erred in dismissing his counterclaim and granting summary judgment to the bank.
Defendant is correct that a motion to dismiss for failure to state a claim upon which relief can be granted tests " the law of the claim, not the facts which support it." Daniels v. Vt. Ctr. for Crime Victims Servs., 173 Vt. 521, 522 (2001) (mem.); see Winfield v. State, 172 Vt. 591, 593 (2001) (mem.) (motion to dismiss for failure to state claim should not be granted unless no facts or circumstances exist that would entitle plaintiff to relief; in reviewing trial court' s disposition of motion to dismiss, " we assume that all well pleaded factual allegations in the complaint are true, as well as all reasonable inferences that may be derived therefrom" ). Here, however, defendant is positing a legal theory, and a frivolous one at that, not alleging material facts that are in dispute. Defendant would have us remand this case for trial to allow him to show that the modern banking practices somehow create " new money" out of a borrower' s promissory note, make the borrower and lender mutual creditors, and thereby allow the borrower to be credited for the loan balance following default. There are no facts or law to support a theory converting appellant' s promissory note into money to be credited against the loan balance following default. Insofar as defendant offers no other defense to the bank' s collection action, the superior court properly granted summary judgment to the bank and dismissed defendant' s counterclaim.
Nor do we find any merit to defendant' s claim that the E-A-C: Trust and its trustees " are validly and rightfully joined" with defendant as co-petitioners in his cross-bill. Defendant appeared pro se when he filed his original counterclaim. Two months later, without approval of the court, he filed an amended counterclaim brought on behalf of himself, the trust, and its trustees. Only defendant signed the amended counterclaim, however. At no time did defendant file a motion for joinder of the trust or any of the trustees. Nor did the trust or any trustee file a motion to intervene. Given these circumstances, the superior court did not err in finding that neither the trust nor the trustees had ever entered an appearance or otherwise joined in the case. Moreover, defendant has failed to demonstrate any prejudice resulting from the court' s finding.

|Clinical characteristics of optic neuritis in Taiwanese children.
MedLine Citation:
|PMID: 21852809 Owner: NLM Status: MEDLINE
|PURPOSE: To document the etiology, clinical presentation, and visual prognosis of optic neuritis in Taiwanese children.
METHODS: Retrospectively reviewed children younger than 18 years old with optic neuritis in Chang Gung Memorial Hospital and Chang Gung Children's Hospital from 1998 to 2009.
RESULTS: There were 24 children (38 eyes) with optic neuritis in that period. Overall, 14 patients (58.3%) were female and 10 patients (41.7%) were male. In total, 14 patients (58.3%) had bilateral involvement, and 10 patients (41.7%) had unilateral involvement. Out of 38 eyes, 24 (63.2%) had disc swelling. Out of 24 patients, 21 (87.5%) underwent intravenous steroid therapy (10 to 30 mg/kg/day) for 3-5 days, and followed by an oral taper. Out of 24 patients, 20 (83.3%) achieved final visual acuity (VA) of 20/40 or better. However, a poor visual outcome (four patients) (VA<20/40) was correlated with pale disc at presentation (P=0.002, Pearson χ (2)-test) and age older than 10 years (P=0.012, Fisher's exact test). Five patients were diagnosed with acute disseminated encephalomyelitis (ADEM) (21%), and three patients were diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) (12.5%). Patients with ADEM did not have a better visual outcome than patients with MS (P=0.643, Fisher's exact test).
CONCLUSIONS: Visual recovery from optic neuritis was favorable in Taiwanese children. A poor visual outcome was correlated with pale disc at presentation and patients' age older than 10 years. ADEM is the most common associated systemic disease; MS is relatively rare.

Couple caught by sneaker wave can be laid to rest
YACHATS, Ore. – The search for southeast Portland comedian Michael Myers, believed to be swept out to the Pacific Ocean by a sneaker wave, has ended on a rocky shoreline south of Yachats.
Oregon State Police have positively identified human remains found in the Cape Perpetua Scenic Area south of Yachats Nov. 24 as those of 34-year-old Michael Myers.
He had been missing since Nov. 10, when he and his wife were last seen alive sharing an anniversary walk along the Oregon Coast. That's the same day the body of his wife of 15 years, 33-year-old Kathryn Myers, was pulled from the waters off the jetty near Newport's South Beach State Park.
Two independent witnesses reported seeing the couple walking toward the end of the jetty just before 1 p.m. Nov. 10. One witness said he last saw the couple holding onto a light pole at the end of the jetty when a large wave swept them into the water.
"With the assistance of the Lincoln County Medical Examiner and Oregon State Medical Examiner's Office, the human remains found Nov. 24 ... has been positively identified as Michael Ray Myers," the Oregon State Police reports.
The Oregon State Police Newport Area Command office is completing the investigation.
A funeral was held Nov. 20, in Michael Myers' absence, for both Michael and his wife Kathryn. (See "Funeral Saturday night for comedy duo.") The two were familiar faces at the ComedySportz club in Northwest Portland. "Katie," as she was known to friends, worked at ComedySportz as a youth education director, and "Mike" had performed there over the past 14 years.

BARCELONA, 9th May 2014 (F1 Plus / Rosie Baillie) - Sauber Team Principal Monisha Kaltenborn admitted that Sauber have been affected by the Ukraine-Russia crisis.
"We've definitely seen an effect because a lot of talks which are very advanced have virtually come to standstill because people are waiting and seeing what's going to happen," Kaltenborn said during the team principal's press conference.
"nobody really knows the entire impact it can have because the sanctions that have now been imposed are really biting some of them, so they're very careful which again means that we simply have to wait and there's nothing we can do about it"
Toro Rosso team principal said the Faenza based teams negotiations had also been affected.
"of course the political situation affects our negotiations with companies in Russia because no one knows exactly which way it goes," Tost said.
"I just hope that it will end up in a positive way and we will go to Sochi because that's very very important and then I'm convinced within a short term period of time that everything comes back to normality."
Marussia Team Principal John Booth confirmed that the team had made travel arrangements for the Russian Grand Prix and will follow British Government guidelines on whether they should travel to Sochi or not.
"First of all, travel arrangements have been confirmed. There's a charter going straight from Japan to Sochi." Booth said.
"As to whether we go to Sochi or not, as with Bahrain over the last couple of years, we'll follow our Government guidelines on whether its safe to travel or not, or whether we should go or not."
Force India's deputy team principal Bob Fernley echoed Tost's comments and said that they would be going to Sochi unless the British Government or the FIA and FOM said otherwise.
"I think unless the British Government advise otherwise and then from that obviously the FIA and FOM, then we are obliged to go, we are contracted to go." Fernley said.

Our friends at the International Wine of the Month Club sent us a shipment of wine this month for tasting, including the 2007 vintage of the Casa Lapostolle Chardonnay. Wine Spectator gave this one a rating of 91 and a friendly review, so we were rather keen on tasting after it arrived. To the nose, Casa Lapostolle Chardonnay had strong aromas of mandarin and pear, a fruit sensibility that wasn't lost on the flavor. A sip provided rich flavors similar to its scent with a light, creamy-yet-crisp body. It's a perfect summertime wine, well paired with seafood of any sort. It's a shame our friends from WineMonthClub.com didn't send two, but we plan on tracking this one down at our local reseller ASAP.

WINDMILL COUNTRY: Weather watchers expecting a neutral growing season
SAN ANGELO, Texas - A cold front was predicted to move into West Texas last night and bring cooler temperatures and gusty north winds today, after temperatures of near 90 degrees Monday. The long-term forecast continues to center around rain chances this weekend, according to the National Weather Service at San Angelo Regional Airport.
There are equal chances for above-normal, normal and below-normal precipitation across Texas. However, enhanced chances for below-normal precipitation across West Texas are also indicated. A trough will re-establish itself, bringing southerly flow back to the Southwest and Gulf moisture with it.
The tropics look neutral for 2013, said John Nielsen-Gammon, Texas state climatologist, and that means cotton growers and other farmers shouldn't expect a return to a wet year, but more a neutral growing season this spring and summer.
El Niño, a warming of temperatures of the Pacific Ocean surface that typically means more rain for West Texas, failed to develop last year and fizzled out, he said. La Niña, a cooling of ocean surface temperatures, largely resulted in the drought.
The existing forecasts have tropical Pacific temperature anomalies settling down to near to slightly below normal for the rest of the year. The forecasts should be fairly reliable until May, by which time most of the influence on global average temperatures will have already taken place.
Nielsen-Gammon, a speaker at the Beltwide Cotton Conference in San Antonio recently, said El Niño and La Niña weather cycles are not the only factors that can affect the climate. Large volcanic eruptions, dust in the atmosphere, ground cover or lack of it on land and other factors all can affect weather and rainfall.
"In addition to the Pacific, the Atlantic Ocean also can bring major weather changes to U.S. cotton-growing regions," Nielsen-Gammon said. "There always will be some random occurrences in rainfall, where a particular locality catches an isolated rain."
The Concho Valley is part of the Colorado River Basin, said Steve Lyons, meteorologist in charge at the National Weather Services at San Angelo. This region's catchments — lakes, rivers and streams — are low-running and don't have water storage.
Speaking at a weather seminar I attended last week, Lyons said our best chance to fill the catchments is when a storm moves across Mexico from the Pacific Ocean and meets with moisture from the Gulf of Mexico.
"If the timing is right and the systems stall over the Colorado River Basin watershed, our catchments could gain accumulated rates from flooding resulting in high storage levels," he said.
Lyons, who is best-known as the tropical and marine meteorologist and hurricane expert on The Weather Channel, said: "Ideally, we need a big flood without any damage to anybody, but that's sort of a Catch-22, unfortunately."
Meanwhile, drought conditions have improved in many parts of the Central Plains, but deterioration has been the rule in the Southeast, West Texas and the West Coast, said Art Douglas, meteorologist with Creighton University.
Douglas predicts that warm and dry weather will be focused across the Southwest as a strong high-pressure ridge builds across the region and pushes the polar jet well north of normal. Early spring will be warm with normal to slightly above normal precipitation across the Midwest, which should support early field work and planting.
"A developing La Niña in the Pacific Ocean could set up a classic drought pattern in the Southwest and central Plains," Douglas told cattle raisers at the National Cattlemen's Beef Association convention in Tampa recently. However, he does not expect summer temperatures as hot as last year, though he is concerned that drought could push eastward toward the Ohio Valley again.

Feb. 17, 2012
AUBURN--Willie Martinez, who has over 20 years of experience on the collegiate level, including nine years in the Southeastern Conference, has been named a defensive assistant coach at Auburn, head coach Gene Chizik announced Friday.
Martinez spent the previous two seasons as the secondary coach at Oklahoma after spending nine seasons at Georgia, where he was the secondary coach from 2001-04 and defensive coordinator and secondary coach from 2005-09.
In his two seasons at Oklahoma, Martinez helped the program to a 22-5 record and a Big 12 championship in 2010. The Sooners were eighth in the country in pass efficiency defense in 2010, while Martinez coached safety Quinton Carter, who was a consensus All-American. In 2011, Oklahoma led the Big 12 in scoring defense.
While at Georgia, Martinez was part of a staff that led the Bulldogs to 90 victories, two Southeastern Conference championships, three SEC Eastern Division titles, seven bowl victories and six top-10 finishes in the final national polls, including No. 2 in 2007 and No. 3 in 2002.
"This is a great opportunity to be a part of a storied program and tremendous coaching staff here at Auburn," Martinez said. "I've had the pleasure to know Coach Chizik and other members of this staff for a long time and I share their energy and passion for the game of football and developing young men. I'm appreciative of this opportunity and look forward to helping Auburn win championships in the future."
Martinez has a proven track record of developing players. In the past 11 years, 15 of his defensive backs have been selected in the NFL Draft. Four of his defensive backs have earned consensus All-America honors.
His 2007 defense at Georgia finished first in the SEC and eighth nationally in sacks (42) and 14th nationally in total defense.
"Willie Martinez is an experienced coach that has been very successful in this conference and understands the rigors of coaching and recruiting in the SEC," Chizik said. "We're excited to have him on board and look forward to bringing his knowledge and experience to our staff."
Martinez' 2006 Georgia defense ranked eighth nationally in total defense, fifth in pass defense and first in the SEC in third down efficiency. In 2005, the Bulldog defense finished eighth in the country in scoring defense (16.4 ppg).
A Hollywood, Fla., native, Martinez played an important part in the 2003 SEC Eastern Division Champion Georgia defense that finished second nationally in scoring defense (14.5 ppg), fourth in total defense (276.86 ypg), sixth in passing defense (174.50 ypg, first in the SEC), 14th nationally in turnover margin (+.79), and fourth in number of scoreless quarters (25) among the AP's final Top Ten teams.
He was also part of the 2002 Bulldog defense that finished first in the SEC and fourth nationally in scoring defense (15.1 ppg), first in the SEC in red zone defense (58.8%), second in the SEC in rushing defense (114.0 ypg), and allowed only 31 second half points in the final seven games of the season.
In 2000, Central Michigan led the nation in pass defense (149.7 yds/g) and senior safety Brian Leigeb led the Mid-American Conference (MAC) in tackles and was third nationally with 13.36 per game.
Prior to joining the Central Michigan staff in 1998, he served as defensive backs coach at Eastern Michigan (1997) and as defensive coordinator at Central Florida in 1995-96. He also coached at Central Michigan in 1994 when the Chippewas won the MAC championship.
Martinez was a defensive back on Miami's 1983 national championship team and played in the 1985 Fiesta Bowl and the 1984 Orange Bowl. He also was a graduate assistant at Miami from 1985-86, coaching in the Sugar and Fiesta bowls.
He then served as an assistant for the 1988 season at Bethune-Cookman and was a high school coach at Boca Raton (1989-90) and Olympic Heights (1991) in Florida. Martinez then joined the Grand Valley State University coaching staff as the defensive coordinator for the 1992-93 seasons.
Martinez, 48, and his wife Kim have three children, daughters Christina and Ashley and son, William.

Baby Eye Colors
What Color Eyes Does Your Child Have?
by babysugar
Like us on Facebook
Many newborns enter the world with blue eyes and they often quickly change into a darker shade or a different color all together. As eye color tends to settle in around six months, they are still apt to change as the melanin continues to develop.
If you look around a room, chances are over 50 percent of the people have brown eyes while blue and green will make up the rest. I'm curious to know how many of you have brown, green, blue, or other-eyed babes.

I'm shocked that my son still has blue eyes. My eyes are dark brown, and even though my husband's are blue, I just figured the baby would inherit my dark, dominant eyes. What a fun surprise! Although I suppose they could still change, but I'm doubting it at 9 months.

Murder in the Metropolis: Part the Fourth (Conclusion)
Hooper Young was arrested in Connecticut three days after the discovery of Mrs. Pulitzer's body. He confessed to mutilating and disposing of the body, but denied responsibility for Mrs. Pulitzer's death. John W. Young wired money from Europe for Hooper's defense; he did not attend the trial which took place in February 1903. Hooper's mother came from Seattle and was hosted by former in-laws during the trial. Hooper's lawyers attempted an insanity defense and for several days Hooper put on quite a show for the jury and reporters, refusing to shave, seeming to sleep through proceedings, and interrupting the court to ask for a rabbit's foot. When alienists – early practitioners of psychiatry – gave their opinion that Hooper was not insane, his defense crumbled. He pleaded guilty to second degree murder and was sentenced to life imprisonment at Sing Sing.
Hooper was apparently a model prisoner. He worked as a janitor in the prison chapel, and, benefitting from liberal reforms, was permitted to spend long hours in the prison greenhouse perfecting his "sunshine cure" – a process of distilling water by reflected sunlight, thereby [he said] infusing the water with nutrients from the sun. "I think he is a little ba[r]my," commented the prison guide to some missionaries who called on Hooper in 1915. He impressed the missionaries on that visit as a pitiable figure whom they wished to see restored to fellowship; for his part, Hooper denied responsibility for his crime, blaming his faults on vague "sins" committed against him by his parents, and seeking to enlist the missionaries to manipulate John W. Young for Hooper's benefit.
Although sentenced to life imprisonment, Hooper was released before he had served twenty years, paroled into the custody of the Salvation Army. Two diametrically opposing stories are told about his attempt to reconcile with his father, both stories told by purported eyewitnesses: A stranger appeared at a meeting of the New York branch, and, from the back of the room, asked to speak. At the sound of his voice John W. Young, sitting near the front, stiffened. The stranger identified himself as Hooper Young, pointed to his father, and said that he had been imprisoned for a crime he had not committed, and for twenty years John W. had hardened his heart and would not visit his son. At the close of the meeting, the mission president attempted to bring the men together. According to one story, father and son embraced and walked tearfully out of the meeting arm in arm; in the other version, John W. told Hooper he never wanted to see him again, and that whichever branch of the Church Hooper chose to attend, Brooklyn or Manhattan, John W. would attend the other.
The relative credibility of the two witnesses suggests that the story of continued estrangement is the correct one. However, at some point, father and son did reconcile. When John W. Young became ill in 1924, Hooper – then preferring to be known as "Billy – was his nurse. It was Billy who summoned a brother to make his last visit to their dying father, and Billy who was with John W. at his passing. I have as yet been unable to trace Billy – Hooper – beyond his father's death, although I continue to follow the trail of numerous Bills, Williams, W.'s and W.H. Youngs in the New York area.
Hooper Young's murder of Anna Pulitzer would be just another sordid story had it not been for Hooper's kinship to Brigham Young. Even so, the sensation might have been mild and the publicity short-lived had it not been for those two words – "blood atonement – scrawled on a scrap of waste paper. The Biblical verses below them were innocuous enough ("Whoso sheddeth man's blood, by man shall his blood be shed,") and likely would have been entirely unworthy of comment had not those two words – "blood atonement" – headed them. Because those two words were present, however, another dimension was added to the story.
Beyond the simple list of Biblical texts, there is no evidence that blood atonement as a religious concept held any special interest for Hooper Young. To the contrary, one of his last published pieces was a defense of bloodshed in political, not religious, warfare. Citing George Washington and William Tecumseh Sherman, among others, as "beneficiaries of mankind" for their deeds as warriors, Hooper closed a nearly incoherent essay with the claim that "As the blood on the cross cleansed the world, so the blood of humanity, sacrificed for a good cause, cleanses those who live to enjoy it … No nation has yet has been civilized without paying the purchase price in blood."
The burden of dealing with charges that Hooper's crime was the legacy of his Mormon background fell on the New York Saints, who dealt with it by merely living their usual lives and responding to questions when approached by the press. For their part, the Church in Salt Lake responded with official pronouncements, which do not appear to have been widely covered in the national press.
A speaker at the General Conference immediately following the 1902 murder stated, "They say that the 'Mormons' believe in blood atonement. We do believe in blood atonement … We believe in the atoning blood of the Lord Jesus Christ, that it will cleanse mankind from all sin … There is not a Christian nation on earth who does not believe or pretend to believe in blood atonement just as the Latter-day Saints believe in it."
The Church also reissued an official declaration first published in 1889, which addressed many questions of ecclesiastical involvement in civil matters. That declaration had been, coincidentally, signed by John W. Young as a counselor to the Twelve Apostles:
"In consequence of gross misrepresentations of the doctrines, aims and practices of the Church … [w]e solemnly make the following declarations … :
"That this Church views the shedding of human blood with the utmost abhorrence. That we regard the killing of human beings, except in conformity with the civil law, as a capital crime which should be punished … after a public trial before a legally constituted court of the land. …
"We denounce as entirely untrue the allegation which has been made, that our Church favors or believes in the killing of persons who leave the Church or apostatize from its doctrines. … [I]t is abhorrent to us and is in direct opposition to the fundamental principles of our creed …
"That is 'Mormonism.' It asks to be judged according to its own teachings and works; not according to the misrepresentations of its enemies. … It is time that more rational methods prevailed."

Ardis, thanks very much for this series. I've enjoyed them.
Comment by Jim F. — 10/28/2006 @ 12:32 pm
Thanks, Jim.
I'm not especially attracted to bloody stories but I seem to keep being thrown into them. The first I ever heard of this was a 2- or 3-sentence summary in one of the recent Mountain Meadows books, where it was presented to suggest that Brigham Young was so fixated on blood atonement that murder became an inevitable part of his legacy, virtually entering his DNA. It seems that Brian Evenson has adopted a similar twisted view. Somebody had to figure out what happened, and I nominated myself.
Comment by Ardis Parshall — 10/28/2006 @ 2:56 pm
I second that nomination, Ardis.
Comment by Proud Daughter of Eve — 10/28/2006 @ 7:54 pm
Great story, Ardis! To me it sheds an interesting light on the dissipated lifestyle, on pleasure-seeking and addiction and where they lead. Also on the households of the faithful, on the interplay of free agency, and parental teachings and judgements.
Comment by Tatiana — 10/29/2006 @ 12:20 pm
Ardis, you are a wonderful storyteller. Thank you for this interesting saga, as well as the stories of our lesser-known foremothers. I have enjoyed each installment.
Comment by Idahospud — 10/29/2006 @ 10:45 pm
Very interesting! Thanks for the series, Ardis. It is a good reminder that critics can and will blow things out of proportion.

Autism Speaks U RSO is making a difference here at ISU.
Recently, a new RSO started working toward a great cause. Autism Speaks U is a college-based program that is sponsored by Autism Speaks, which is a major organization working to raise awareness for Autism.
The organization started here last semester and became an official RSO in January 2014. Since starting here on campus, they have held a variety of events to raise money and awareness about Autism.
In the past, they have sold apparel, had restaurant fundraisers and worked to raise $88 in 88 days. They were successful and raised over $900 from this event in the span of a week.
Danielle Dorion, president and founder of the RSO, really likes what she has started. "I love knowing that we are making an impact for the autism community," Dorion said.
"Every 11 minutes, a child is placed on the spectrum, and I know the money that we raise is helping these children and their families."
As the chapter grows, the members hope to continue to expand people's knowledge about Autism by continuing to do events on campus. In April, Autism Awareness Month, they hope to light up one of the buildings here at ISU the color blue as a way to get the attention of students.
"I don't think people recognize how large of an epidemic this disability is, and I hope that we can make people see how autism is affecting thousands of children nationwide," Dorion said.
Like Dorion, all of the members of the chapter are hoping to expand not only the knowledge of others but their own knowledge of Autism as well. Junior Nicole Pacente, marketing chairwoman, hopes that her time in the chapter will help her with her future career.
"I am a speech and language pathology major who wants to someday work with individuals who have autism. Therefore, learning more about autism as well as working in the autism community at Illinois State University has helped me narrow down my career goals," Pacente said.
Pacente is excited for the events that the chapter has coming up. They will be selling shirts soon that say "Light It Up Blue" that will be available to the ISU community, and will be having a 5K run on the Quad toward the end of March.
The chapter is open to anyone who is interested in joining. They hold meetings the first Tuesday of every month in DeGarmo 209, in addition to their monthly fundraisers. Anyone who is interested is welcome to attend.
"In one way or another, everyone is touched by autism, whether they have a family member or friend with autism or are going into a field where they will be in contact with an individual who has autism," Pacente said.
For more information about the RSO, check out their Facebook page and keep up with upcoming fundraisers.
"By being a part of this organization, I hope we can donate thousands of dollars to Autism Speaks, so researchers will have the tools they need to learn more about autism, as well as continue research on different treatments for those who have autism and for the needs of these individuals' families," Pacente said.

Petepuck, the outlook of the infield basically hinges on where they put Bautista. If they slot him in at third, then the Jays need an outfielder. If they slot him in at left or right field, then they need a third baseman. I'd like to see Lind at first, but they need to commit to that decision sooner rather than later.

The bullpen is the big question mark, with Gregg/Downs/Frasor/Tallet all potentially walking away. Luckily, there are a lot of young arms in the system but they will probably need to bolster the 'pen with a couple of free agent vets out there.

I don't doubt that the Blue Jays can contend in 2011. The problem is, they need to have all cylinders firing if they want to have a chance against New York, Boston and Tampa Bay.

As we saw this past year, if a couple of players don't carry their weight (Hill & Lind), it can put a huge dent in the team's chances. With this group of players (not unlike what happened with the Giants this year), all the gears need to be synchronized perfectly to make it work.Ian - BJHhttp://email@example.com:blogger.com,1999:blog-7069118812751480198.post-90533873308198021282010-10-27T15:20:35.845-04:002010-10-27T15:20:35.845-04:00I'm not all that worried about the infield. Ar...I'm not all that worried about the infield. Arencibia catches. He may be as quick through the strike zone as Jose. He is more than ready and we will all forget about Buck by the All Star Break.

Don't kid yourself, Lind is at 1st. A chimp could be taught to play 1st. Jose and his game changing cannon stay in RF. Snider and Vernon also play out there every day. Move Hill to 3rd, bring back the O Dog as an FA for 2nd. And for me Manny recovered from surgery and still able to smoke the inside hard one, he's the no brainer at DH.

What I do worry about is how well the bullpen is rebuilt. The Jays will only go as far as the bullpen performance allows, and I mean right into the playoffs if they are lights out. They really flat out mediocre under "The Cito". Go figure.

With Walton back and Farrell calling the shots, whoever makes the big club will be light years better.

Mattt, Manny would be entertaining ... no question. He comes with some baggage, but that's the risk you take when you sign a guy like that.

This week I read an interesting if poorly-written article in the Wall Street Journal regarding workplaces providing alcohol for onsite social hours. The comments section was littered with squares wringing their hands at how unprofessional and dangerous a practice this was, but I was most struck by one Alan Maxwell:
"I keep reading unemployment is high, especially amongst less experienced/college grads. But, then I see the weekly articles on this site on "cutting edge" practices to attract workers, especially millenials (recent college grads). Which is to be believed?"
The answer is both, and frankly the fellow's comment may be glib rhetoric but it's lousy economics. The fact is that people can be desperately looking for jobs at the same time employers are desperately trying to hire. It's not enough to say "there are X jobs open and Y people applying." It needs to be understood who wants to work these jobs, who the employers want to fill them, and what the two sides are willing to give each other to make the deal work.
I'm not an economist by trade, but I know enough to understand that in a diversified white-collar economy, neither workers nor jobs are fungible commodities – some are better than others, and that reality produces bargaining asymmetries. In short, employees want to work at the best jobs (defined by pay, benefits, psychic reward, or potential for advancement) while employers want the best workers (be it the most productive, least demanding, most trustworthy, or best cultural fit).
The real mind-blower here is that those asymmetries can go in both directions simultaneously.
(Vocabulary note: A good is "fungible" if one unit of the good functions the same as another unit and they can be mutually exchanged with no loss of utility. Gasoline and stock shares are frequent examples – it doesn't matter which gallon or lot I have, it's all the same as long as I have the same amount.)
The thing is, if you look like the rest of the field (where "look like" is to say have a resume and background typical of your demographic), you're in the "presenter" role, and you have to try to get employers' attention. You avoid mistakes that bounce people out of interviews, and hope that someone in the process liked you enough to give you the job above a bunch of other cookie-cutter candidates, because when they have more suitors than spots, they start making decisions on ever more petty criteria.
However, if you have some trait that makes you desireable for a particular niche (you have a special skill or educational experience, or maybe your family name is politically advantageous), you will be more of a selector, and employers will fight over you. Those who need someone to do, say, international tax law, or arcane circuit design, or precision welding, or to close deals that couldn't otherwise be closed, will find themselves adapting to the applicants more than the other way around, lest they be caught entirely without someone to do essential work for their business.
I didn't understand this when I was young and job-hunting – it was easy to think that we were all chasing the same internships and jobs and that they just had to pick those of us they liked. There was some truth to it, because most of us had next to no experience and no durable reason for them to choose us. But when I got older and started to see how real recruiters at top-flight companies were approaching the talent chase, I observed that it was an all-out war. These were not "HR ditzes," but serious salepeople whose product was their own company and whose "leads" were future coworkers. Intense and sometimes bitter rivalries flared amongst competitors, all chasing that small patch of bumper-crop workers who could take their firms to the next level.
We saw jobs as scarce resources and did whatever it took to stand out; meanwhile, those companies themselves saw top candidates as scarce resources and did whatever it took to stand out.
The same reciprocal scarcity exists, incidentally, in college applications and recruiting. Achievement-oriented kids stuff the top colleges' mailboxes to the tune of ten times the number of enrollees they can allow. Meanwhile the top schools viciously compete to land the best crop of top students in each incoming class. Administrators are deathly afraid of losing students to other schools because they didn't get enough financial aid or they perceive the campus to be unfriendly to a demographic or academic interest they fancy.
Standing out is one of the key factors that's driving this proliferation of office-comfort perks and alternative benefits at startups and small firms, including meals, free booze, massages and medical services, daycare, laundry, even financing subsidies – the payoff of those top employees is so critical to the business that they need this stuff to get them in the door and make them want to stay. The movement that has moved into the political realm as well: companies are scared to death of being perceived as unwelcoming to women or minorities or some other demographic and go to great lengths to tout and even sponsor their commitment to various flavors of openness. This is not just motivated by the typically-left-of-center politics that adorn today's educated entrepreneurial class; it's also a marketing strategy for recruiting, and it's not just about recruiting those demographics. It's about recruiting and retaining people who would say "I don't want to work at a company where XXX aren't welcome" or even "I don't want to work here if I have to explain this blight to my friends."
As for the employment lawyers wagging their fingers/salivating at the prospect of things going wrong on company premises, employers need to be responsible in bringing in employees who aren't going to make fools of themselves. If you are hiring people of at least passable character, and you are giving them a working environment they really enjoy and can thrive in, and you set some expectations up front, you can expect that most of them won't abuse the privilege – any more than one of them might go on a bender once they get home from work. And what you get in exchange for that is a deep level of trust and commitment on the employees' part. It's not just that they'll stay at work because you're buying them a beer, it's that they actually want to have a drink with their colleagues, and this probably pays off in passion and creativity.
If on the other hand you are hiring the creatures of interminable excess that made Wall Street and Barbarians At The Gate resonant cultural texts, and you rationalize it by saying "we have to tolerate their workplace asshole behavior to make the numbers this quarter," your in-office drinking parties might get out of hand, because those are the personalities you have selected for.
The fact that the startups and firms doing this tend to be small is a key factor in keeping the liability risk under control, as they can keep a pretty close eye on both individual behavior and office culture, crafting collective expectations out of the team's natural camaraderie. This is impossible to do at a corporate level, where employers invariably start seeing workers as autonomous drones who need to be shamed and forbidden from activities that might escape the rigid controls that are the only option of the macro-manager.
As can be gleaned from the comments on the WSJ article, it's been a big shock to baby-boomer types who grew up in the corporate economies of the 70's and 80's, with highly structured work weeks, constrained benefits, cafeteria lunches and strict distinctions between management and the people doing the actual company work (a white-collar, right-to-work version of the union factory). It's curious, then, to consider how these new office structures are becoming the new company towns.
Regular readers will be chomping at the bit at this point to analogize this situation to the sexual marketplace and mating practices. Fear not – the interpersonal analysis will be discussed in the next post.

For immediate release
Sept. 10, 2004
The College of Business Administration at Abilene Christian University was named one of the top 10 Christian business schools in the nation by Business Reform magazine.
Out of more than 100 schools nationwide, the Christian business magazine listed ACU as one of the 10 schools that "rose to the top of the list through their dedication to producing strong Christian business leaders that are impacting all areas of the marketplace for the glory of God." Rankings were published in the September/October issue of the magazine.
ACU also was ranked third and fourth in the categories of "Most Entrepreneurial" and "Degree and Course Options" respectively.
The magazine rated each school on the biblical foundation, entrepreneurial emphasis, degrees and courses offered, and the ranking given by department heads of other schools in the nation.
Dr. Terry Pope, associate dean of the College of Business, said he was particularly pleased with the ranking because it identified ACU as a school with a "proven Christian flavor rather than just a Christian name."
"It accurately reflects what we are about," Pope said. "I hope we will see ACU's name on the list in future years as well."

Play up eggs in colorful fresh-baked treats paired with lemon, almond and vanilla extracts.
McCormick has created a collection of colorful, flavorful brunch recipes, perfect for a spring gathering with family and friends of all ages:
? Cheesy Bacon and Egg Brunch Casserole - A flavorful blend of spices including mustard, nutmeg and black pepper makes this dish a satisfying and savory spring brunch staple
? Overnight French Toast - Perfect for a busy morning, overnight refrigeration lets the rich eggs and vanilla soak into the bread for a flavorful, indulgent dish
? Very Vanilla Fruit Salad - Vanilla extract accents fresh fruit for a flavorful, colorful addition to the table

? Delicious Deviled Eggs - Offer guests exciting variations on classic deviled eggs by adding tarragon paired with capers, or season with the unexpected flavor of curry.
? "Punch" of Color - Make the punch bowl part of the party décor. Start by mixing five to seven drops of McCormick Food Color into a punch bowl filled with your favorite springtime drink. Continue to add more drops to achieve the desired hue.
? Artsy Egg Dyeing - Kids will love fun techniques like sponge painting, crackle color and tie-dyeing for a unique take on egg decorating. Mix 1/2 cup boiling water, 1 teaspoon vinegar and 10-20 drops food color in a cup to achieve desired colors. Repeat for each color.
? Batch Bake - Double-batch a festive dessert recipe like Easter Egg Cake Bites, and vary the extracts and food color to make two unique treats in one effort. Try lemon extract paired with yellow food color, or raspberry extract paired with blue food color.

›› Photo gallery: Conference USA Tournament Day 3
A berth in the finals was at stake. A bid to the NCAA Tournament was on the line. A season was floating out there on the brink.
Tulsa led UTEP 28-27 at the half, simply mugging the Miners on the boards. The Golden Hurricane came out for the second half, shot a few shots and got ready for the final 20 minutes. The time was winding down, one minute to go until the start of the final fateful half. Still no Miners. Finally, finally, UTEP came down the tunnel, just under 30 seconds before it was time to begin the final 20 minutes. No time to shoot, no time to warm up, no time to stretch. Just huddle and go.
And they did go.
UTEP worked and worked and worked some more, taking over the game and grinding out a 66-54 victory over Tulsa today in the semifinals of the Conference USA Men's Basketball Tournament, earning a spot in today's finals against Memphis ... one step from the automatic bid to the NCAA Tournament.
The Miners and Memphis will go at it at 9:30 this morning, live on CBS - the Big Dance at stake.
"(Justin) Hurtt took the game over in the first half, got us on our heels," UTEP coach Tim Floyd said. "They outrebounded us 21-9 in the first half."
Tulsa coach Doug Wojcik said, "I'm disappointed. I thought we had a great chance. We didn't have enough.
Not only did Tulsa outrebound UTEP 21-9 in the first half, the Golden Hurricane outbanged the Miners 8-1 on the offensive boards. Not in the second half.
UTEP outrebounded Tulsa 18-13 in that final half - a big reason the Miners eased away on that most important of stats, the final score on the scoreboard. Did UTEP do anything differently?
"No," Floyd said. "We've got a smart team. Five of these guys have already graduated. They've been to the NCAA Tournament. It wasn't a scheme. They were aware they were getting slapped around on the glass. They took it personally."
And they went to work. One fan yelled "keep working, Miners, keep working." They did. And there is nothing this blue-collar town loves more than hard work - tough defense, fighting for rebounds, just working hard.
Randy Culpepper had another brilliant game, scoring 26 points, handing out three assists. Christian Polk was his usual deadly, effective self, making 3-of-4 3-pointers and finishing with 13 points. Julyan Stone was also special, scoring nine points, getting eight rebounds and handing out six assists.
Gabriel McCulley was effective defensively and Jeremy Williams had much to do with that rebound margin flip-flopping at the half, pulling down 10 rebounds.
"Randy was terrific," Floyd said. "His decision-making was really good. Julyan was big on the boards, as always, and we made the decision to switch him to Hurtt and he was great. Gabe McCulley did a great job on (Steven) Idlet and Jeremy Williams was huge on the boards. We also got good minutes out of Ike (Isaac Gordon)."
Wojcik said, "Give Randy Culpepper credit. He's gone for 29, 28 and 26 on us this season. Christian Polk is one of the best shot-makers in the conference. You've got to keep Julyan Stone out of the paint and you can't help on him because he's such a good passer."
And now the Miners have played themselves into a championship opportunity ... an NCAA Tournament opportunity. A year ago they lost that opportunity, faltering in the second half in the championship game against Houston. They still got in the NCAA Tournament - but barely.
"Last year we played the first 20 minutes," Culpepper said. "We didn't play the last 20 minutes. This year we've got to play all 40 minutes."
If they play all 40 minutes this morning the way they played the final 20 minutes this afternoon, it will be interesting.

With the resurgence of al-Qaeda in Iraq, the ongoing nightmare in Syria and the festering problems we're having in Afghanistan this may be a good time to re-assess the basis for our foreign policy commitments.
Considering the attendant risk of oversimplification, I am going to suggest a general rule, based on the last century, of when and where we should send troops into ground combat for more than 30 days. I'll refer to this rule as the "night life" policy because the upshot of it is that unless we have been directly attacked, we should never commit ground troops to a place where there is no night ...
