I love eggs for breakfast, especially things like egg muffins and breakfast casseroles that keep in the fridge and are easy to pop into the microwave for a quick breakfast. Technically this recipe is probably a breakfast casserole, but I didn't call it that because my breakfast casseroles are mostly eggs, baked with other ingredients mixed in.
This dish is turkey breakfast sausage, sauteed mushrooms, and Feta cheese baked with just a little egg to hold it together, so that the emphasis is on the other ingredients and not so much on the eggs. (And if you want to see why I updated the photo in 2011, scroll down past the step-by-step photos to see the original picture!)
Sausage, Mushrooms, and Feta Baked with Eggs
(Makes 6 generous servings or 8 small servings, recipe created by Kalyn.)
12-14 oz (12-14 links) turkey breakfast sausage
16 oz. sliced mushrooms (I buy the pre-sliced mushrooms for this)
1-2 tsp. olive oil, depending on your pan
1/2 - 3/4 cup crumbled feta cheese
8 eggs, well beaten
2 T half and half or milk (use milk for South Beach Diet)
1 tsp. Spike Seasoning (Use any all-purpose seasoning blend that's good with eggs if you don't have Spike.)
(If you don't find low-fat turkey sausage, you can put the sausage in pan with small amount of water and simmer about 10 minutes to cook out some of the fat. Remove sausage, and drain well.) Cut each piece of sausage in half or thirds, then brown sausage lightly in frying pan. In separate pan, heat olive oil and then saute mushrooms until they're softened and starting to brown.
Bake 30-40 minutes, until eggs are well set and barely starting to brown on top. (I baked the one in these photos for about 36 minutes.) Serve hot.
This can be frozen, but nowdays I'm more likely to just store it in the refrigerator and reheat in the microwave. Be careful when reheating not to overcook. If you do freeze it, for best results, thaw in refrigerator before heating in microwave. If it's been frozen, I like to wrap in paper towels when reheating to absorb any moisture.
South Beach Suggestions:
Use the lowest fat turkey sausage you can find for this, or simmer in water to remove some of the fat. Feta is a lower-fat cheese, but don't use more than the 1/2 -3/4 cup of Feta suggested. With those cautions, this would be a great breakfast for any phase of the South Beach Diet.

Sky's no limit after 1986 Challenger disaster
La Jolla High School teacher Gloria McMillan was supposed to fly home the next day, exhilarated.
Instead she was back by midnight, exhausted. School would start at 7:30 a.m. She had students to comfort, students to hold, students to hold her.
But before she could sleep, she had to open a wound. As Jan. 28, 1986 became history, she had to open the envelope on her dining-room table.
The letter inside had the words of a ghost: "I'm on my way to the Cape right now. Only a few days left. This has certainly been an exciting year!"
The sign-off: "Love, Christa,"
McMillan held the note to her heart.
[Editor's note: This story was published three years ago. It remains relevant — and poignant.]
That day when New Hampshire teacher Christa McAuliffe climbed the sky for 73 searing seconds, she was realizing the wildest dreams of everyone who ever wanted to be an astronaut — and the highest hopes of thousands of teachers who, like her, wanted to become the first educator in space.
McMillan was one of those daring instructors. She was among 114 semifinalists nationwide vying for the chance to fly into space — fly! into space! — during a rigorous competition in Washington, D.C. It was the National Aeronautic and Space Administration's first-of-its-kind teacher in space program.
McAuliffe won, of course. On that cold morning of Jan. 28, 1986, in the grandstands 3½ miles from the space shuttle Challenger's launch pad, McMillan joined dozens of there-but-for-the-grace-of-God-go-I teachers who huddled in camaraderie and parted in shock.
They croaked the letters of Christa's first name as if they were at a football game. They joked about taking their hair dryers to ice that had formed on the shuttle. They soaked in the spectacle of it all.
Then the Challenger exploded.
Before — and after — these teachers couldn't help but wonder, "What if it were me?"
Some still do. Every year at this time, their thoughts fly away to McAuliffe and that moment.
Ken VanLew, 69, who now teaches "armchair astronomy" to senior citizens in San Diego part-time, fled Cape Canaveral, Fla., as quickly as he could that day of the explosion. He rushed to see his wife and students in Frankfurt, Germany, where he taught physics and astronomy for the Department of Defense.
"Das war Glück für Sie," a neighbor there told him. That was lucky for you.
"Das war nur Pech," he replied. That was just bad luck.
"It could have been me," said retired West Virginia schoolteacher Niki Wenger, who was one of 10 teacher-in-space finalists and now, at 72, tends horses on a family farm in Ohio. "I almost wish it had been."
Why on Earth would she wish that? Because McAuliffe was the only finalist who had young children at the time.
Time. It took Bob Veilleux more than 10 years to show the pictures he shot that day with a 1,000-mm telephoto lens to his high school astronomy students in Manchester, N.H. He and McAuliffe were the two teacher-in-space finalists from their state.
"I felt reluctant to do it because I would get choked up," said Veilleux, 69. "It still twinges at the heart strings when you talk about it."
McMillan, who taught for 38 years, is now 68 and still in San Diego. She remembers staggering into school the day after the disaster. Staggering. It's her word.
"It was important for me to be in the classroom and to be able to deal with the students who were grieving," she said. "It was my responsibility to help the students understand that you don't give up.

Break in at the iCandy HQ
Last night iCandy HQ became the third recent iCandy robbery victim. The warehouse was broken into and an amount of iCandy products were stolen from our warehouse! The first victim was Baby Box in Wales, followed on by our Irish distributorâs full iCandy consignment being stolen from the back of a truck and now iCandy HQ itself.
We ask everyone to aid us in catching these culprits by making it difficult for them to sell our stolen iCandy products on. We want everyone to turn in to Miss Marples and use their Facebook and Twitter pages to broadcast what has happened and make life as uncomfortable as possible for these unscrupulous characters!
Please only purchase an iCandy product from an authorised iCandy stockist as purchasing though a non-authorised stockist will mean it will not be sold with a warranty so anything could have been done to them before they are delivered to an unsuspecting recipient. Additionally all iCandy products are serial numbered. iCandy pushchairs and carrycots are not sold online therefore products should not be able to be purchased by online means.
This of course is sad news however we will continue to deliver products to our stockists as quickly as possible.
We understand our products are currently in high demand, we just didnât realise people were that desperate for iCandy that they would physically go through a brick wall!
If anybody comes across any suspicious selling of iCandy products please email the details into firstname.lastname@example.com. Thank you, and letâs stop these culprits now!

Cheese Puffs
- Preheat oven to 400° F.
- Grease two large cookie sheets.
- In 3-quart saucepan, combine butter, salt, cayenne and water. Bring to boil; stir until butter is melted.
- Remove from heat; add flour all at once, stirring until incorporated.
- Return to medium-low heat, stirring constantly with wooden spoon, until mixture forms balls and leaves side of pan. Remove from heat.
- Stir in eggs, one at a time, beating well after each addition, until batter is smooth and satiny. Stir in cheese.
- Drop teaspoons of batter on cookie sheets, forming mounds about 3/4 inch in diameter. A pastry bag fitted with a 1/2-inch plain tip makes quick work of making the mounds. Puffs should be at least 1 inch apart, as puffs will double in size.
- Bake puffs until deep golden, 25 to 30 minutes, rotating sheets halfway through baking. Transfer to wire racks to cool. Serve at room temperature, or to serve hot, reheat in 400° F oven 5 minutes.

The Shallow Water Equations
Application ID: 202
The Shallow Water equations are frequently used for modeling both oceanographic and atmospheric fluid flow. Models of such systems lead to the prediction of areas eventually affected by pollution, coast erosion and polar ice-cap melting.
Comprehensive modeling of such phenomena using physical descriptions such as the Navier-Stokes equations can often be problematic, due to the scale of the modeling domains as well as resolving free surfaces. The Shallow Water equations, of which there are a number of representations, provide an easier description of such phenomena. This 1D model investigates the settling of a wave over a variable bed as a function of time.

In response to Hingham Hammer's comment:
Montero benched again.
One major difference between Montero and Lavarnway is that Montero has been given a fair chance at the ML level and failed (so far); Lavarnway hasn't even been given that chance. Thats why I would prefer Lavarnway on my team- rather than a proven failure I would take a guy who is an unknown.
I'm not sure I'd call a .260 BA and 15 HRs playing with big park Seattle a "failure".
He has a .703 career MLB OPS at age 23.
MLB catcher OPS the last 3 years:
2011: .704
2012: .717
2013: .732
Seattle handed the starting catchers job to Montero this spring. In less than a month he has been dropped to 8th. in the batting order and sits every other game. Four extra base hits all season and hitting just 200.
For a prospect many thought was at the very least capable of hitting Montero has failed.
Say what you want about the yankees front office but they clearly saw his expectations were on a downward spiral which is why they cut bait with him.
Catchers in this game are in some respects more valuable than starting pitchers.
Teams don't give up on them without good cause.
There is reality then we have your opinion.
King Felix Seattle's best pitcher has started 7 games this season, the only game Shoppach caught was The King's second game on April 6.
Montero caught the season opener minus the 2nd all the rest since.

PCC in the News
News: Better Late Than Never: Women's Hoops Recover v. LA Trade Tech
For more than 15 minutes Wednesday night, Hutto-Patterson Gymnasium might as well have been the Shatford Library. Visiting Los Angeles Trade Tech, the eighth place team in the South Coast Conference, rolled into the facility with a skeleton, 5-player, no subs squad, and quietly outplayed the state's No. 9-ranked Pasadena City College women's basketball team for most of the first half.
In fact, the Lady Techsters held a 22-13 lead with 4:38 left before halftime. For the next 24:38, the Lancers managed to wake up the troops and the fans by going to their strengths. PCC's defense forced steals that led to a series of fast-break baskets later in the contest, and posted a 58-40 victory over a valiant Trade Tech unit.
PCC limited LATT to no points over a period of 10:34 and in the process grabbed the lead for good by halftime, 24-22, on a 3-pointer by Stella Ghazarian. PCC made 21 steals, or one less than the team's number of field goals, often pouncing into double and triple teams once Trade Tech crossed the midcourt line.
Pasadena didn't pull away until the last seven minutes when a 19-2 run broke open the contest.
The team upped its record to a perfect 13-0 when holding opponents to less than 50 points. PCC is 21-6 overall and firmly entrenched in third place of the SCC at 11-4.
On "Sophomore Night," it was freshman center Kaitlyn Parks who was PCC's most effective player. Parks scored a team-high 10 points, grabbed 15 rebounds and blocked five shots. She's averaged a double-double all season and is expected to make the All-SCC First Team.
Ghazarian, a sophomore who is climbing up the program's all-time scoring list in the 21st spot, scored all nine of her points in the first half (three 3-pointers). Transfer point guard Shay Jackson added six points and six steals while transfer Angeline Jefferson had six points. Sophomore guards Kahlia Theus (five points, four steals) and Sabrina Martinez (three points, five assists, five steals) made contributions as well.
Off the bench, freshman forward Brandi DuBose (six points and five rebounds), frosh forward Tyler Crockom (five points, four rebounds), first-year center Averie-Alice Guzman (four points, two assists), and rookie guard Desiree Loving (four points, three rebounds, two assists) played valuable minutes.
For LA Trade Tech (3-17, 3-12 in SCC play), Kimberlyn Virigin led all scorers with 16 points and Alejandra Gomez added 12 points.
PCC closes out the conference season on Friday, Feb. 22 at Cerritos College (5 p.m. tip-off). The team will then learn its playoff seeding, which will be announced early next week.

FULTON COUNTY, Ga. -- Another court date has been postponed for the man accused of killing a church volunteer at World Changers Church International last month.
Floyd Palmer is accused of fatally shooting Greg McDowell at point blank range while he led prayer during a Bible study.
The 52-year-old suspect was arrested several hours later at Lenox Square and now faces four felony charges, including murder and aggravated assault. At this point, police haven't released any details about a possible motive for the shooting.

Palmer was supposed to have his preliminary court hearing on Friday, but it was pushed back a week to Nov. 16.
His initial court appearance in jail was also delayed last month after he waived his right to appear then changed his mind. He changed his mind the second time too and did not appear.

ATLANTA, Ga. -- As area school systems wrestle with budget problems, it is not unusual to see taxpayers foot the bill to put school superintendents behind the wheel of a car.
In Dekalb County, taxpayers recently helped purchase a 2013 Ford Explorer for new school superintendent Cheryl Atkinson. The vehicle, which is for her personal and business use, is part of Atkinson's contract.
It is more common for school districts to provide superintendents with a car allowance that can be as much as $1,500 dollars a month.
In Cobb County, Superintendent Michael Hinojosa receives a salary of $237,000 dollars a year.
In addition, he receives a car allowance of $800 a month.
Clayton County's interim superintendent Luvenia Jackson gets the same $800 a month car allowance in addition to her 195-thousand dollar a year salary.
In Fulton County, Superintendent Robert Avossa's salary is 238-thousand dollars a year.
His car allowance is $9,600 a year, or the equivalent of $800 a month.
In the state's largest school system, Gwinnett County Superintendent Alvin Wilbank's car allowance is nearly double that of the other areas surveyed by 11Alive.
Wilbanks, the longest tenured superintendent in the state, receives a $1,500 per month car allowance in addition to his $278,000 a year salary.
Like other metro school districts, Gwinnett's teachers haven't received a raise in several years.
"Administrators need to reprioritize their priorities," said Gaye McNeil of Citizens for Better Gwinnett. "If teachers are sacrificing, I think everyone up the line needs to sacrifice as well."
A spokesman for Gwinnett Schools says just like teachers, Wilbanks has not received a raise in several years. The superintendent also takes furlough days just like other employees.
Atkinson's new Explorer was purchased to replace an older vehicle she was issued when hired as Dekalb superintendent. School board member Paul Womack told 11Alive Atkinson's 2006 car had problems and needed to be replaced.
"It was a logical business decision," said Womack. "Replace a piece of junk that could break down any week or put on a new one."
The district traded Atkinson's old car and two others to purchase the 2013 Explorer. With the trade ins, the vehicle cost taxpayers $8,963.
A spokesperson for Atlanta public schools say Superintendent Erroll Davis doesn't get a car or car allowance.
Davis contract does allow him $10,000 for travel, but spokesperson Steve Alford says Davis hasn't spent any of that travel allowance and doesn't plan to.

Painting of the Bell's Farm by Kalamazoo artist Conrad Kaufman.
From Farm to Glass
Our 80-acre farm in Shepherd, Michigan, is located about an hour and a half north of Kalamazoo.
It has been a part of Bell's since 2008.
We grow 2-row barley that is used in Midwestern Pale Ale, Christmas Ale and Harvest Ale. Once harvested, the barley is then roasted and kilned by Briess Malt & Ingredients Co.
Our farm is not only an investment in Michigan agriculture but also enhances our commitment to quality.
About the Bell's Farm
• Moisture management: No-till farming practices support surrounding ecosystems by minimizing erosion and the use of water-contaminating fertilizers, all while improving soil quality.
• Michigan Agriculture Environmental Assurance Program (MAEAP) certified
• It is tiled for draining which helps oxygenate the soil and allows earlier planting and a longer season.
• All crops are 100% Non-GMO (genetically modified organism)
• Barley is grown on a 3 year rotation.
• Fertilizer is tightly controlled and spoon fed, which allows better absorption of nitrogen that would otherwise be lost to the water table.

US sues S&P over pre-crisis mortgage ratings
WASHINGTON The Obama administration on Tuesday accused Standard & Poor's of refusing to warn investors that the housing market was collapsing in 2006 because it would be bad for business.
The civil charges against the credit rating agency were the administration's most aggressive action to date against those deemed responsible for contributing to the worst financial crisis since the Great Depression. They followed years of criticism that the government had failed to do enough.
The Justice Department accused S&P of knowingly inflating its ratings of risky mortgage investments that helped trigger the crisis. It's demanding $5 billion in penalties.
According to the lawsuit, S&P gave high marks to the investments because it wanted to earn more business from the banks that issued them.
"This alleged conduct is egregious - and it goes to the very heart of the recent financial crisis," Attorney General Eric Holder said at a news conference.
Experts said the lawsuit could serve as a template for future action against Fitch and Moody's, the other two major credit rating agencies.
High ratings from the three agencies made it possible for banks to sell trillions in risky investments. Some investors, including pension funds, can buy only securities that carry high credit ratings.
S&P, a unit of New York-based McGraw-Hill Cos., called the lawsuit "meritless."
"Hindsight is no basis to take legal action against the good-faith opinions of professionals," the company said in a statement. "Claims that we deliberately kept ratings high when we knew they should be lower are simply not true."
According to the lawsuit, S&P recognized that home prices were sinking and that borrowers were having trouble repaying loans. Yet these facts weren't reflected in the safe ratings S&P gave to complex real-estate investments known as mortgage-backed securities and collateralized debt obligations, the lawsuit alleges.
At least one S&P executive who had raised concerns about the company's proposed methods for rating investments was ignored.
S&P executives expressed concern that lowering the ratings on some investments would anger the clients selling these investments and drive new business to S&P's rivals, the government claims.
Holder called the case "an important step forward in our ongoing efforts to investigate and punish the conduct that is believed to have contributed to the worst economic crisis in recent history."
The $5 billion in penalties the government is demanding would amount to several times the annual revenue of McGraw-Hill's Standard & Poor's Ratings division. The ratings business generated $1.77 billion in revenue in 2011. McGraw-Hill's total revenue was $6.25 billion.
The fraudulent ratings contributed to the failure of a California credit union that required a multibillion dollar government bailout, the lawsuit said. It said Western Federal Corporate Credit Union bought the investments because of S&P's endorsement.
Western Federal was among five wholesale credit unions that regulators took over in 2009 and 2010. To wind them down, the National Credit Union Administration borrowed $11.2 billion from the Treasury. It's repaid about $6.1 billion. The agency said the costs will be paid by the credit union industry and Treasury will be fully repaid.
Critics complained that the government's action Tuesday involves civil rather than criminal charges. Criminal charges, which would carry the possibility of jail time, would be harder to prove.
Former Sen. Ted Kaufman, D-Del., who served on a panel that investigated the financial crisis, argued that actions by S&P and its employees amounted to criminal fraud.
"If you're selling something that you're saying has a certain level of safety, and you know it doesn't have that level of safety, that's fraud," Kaufman said.
He said big civil fines just end up hurting shareholders.

Give me my B and D3-5 tags for deer and my Tule elk tag and I'll be happy.
I actually drew an X-10 tag and hunted there last year. In two different trips, I saw only two does. The problem with X-10 is that it is a mecca for dirt bikers. This is one of the last (if not the last) place in the state where the NFS maintains trails for OHV and trail bikes and encourages their use. Needless to say, the deer hightail it out of the area to escape the noise. This was my first trip to X-10, and I was unable to do any pre-season scouting due to an illness in the family. I had no idea this condition existed there during deer season. The early part of the season, the bikers are wall to wall. Towards the end, there are a few less. My hope is that the later G-38 season will avoid the off road fiasco. During my second trip, I got caught in (enjoyed) the two pronged snowstorm that hit the Sierras last year. I was actually enjoying freezing my a-- off in the tent while the snow built up outside in anticipation of the morning hunt. I took the Jeep as far as I could, then set out on foot. I spent the entire day after the storm driving and hiking. I never cut one deer track the whole time! (Although, I did find some old tracks above Monache Meadows before the storm.) That pretty much convinced me the deer had moved out of that area. During the two trips, I covered everything between Kennedy Meadows and Monache Mountain. There were dozens of camps along the Monache Mountain Jeep Trail, but not one hanging deer, which I thought to be unusual. I swore never to go back to that area, but being a glutton for punishment, I have applied again. I reasoned better to hunt a marginal area that you know something about, rather than a good area about which you know nothing. Got to be deer there somewhere. Just have to find them within handgunning distance.

I would say that you are pretty much a shoo in for an X-10 tag with that area as first choice.

From what I've been reading from you and on a couple of other forums, it sounds like it's going to require some serious humping to get away from other hunters if I want to have any chance of seeing anything.
I was eyeing Monache Meadows, Deer Mountain, etc, just based on the maps, but it sounds like everybody does the same thing. So, looks like I'll have to find the ugliest, nastiest terrain that I can safely handle and shoot for that.
Guess I'll be hunting the south or extreme north parts of the zone.

KLEM News AM Update October 18, 2010
Horizon Wind Energy of Houston has asked for permits for three sites in Plymouth County for meteorological towers.
Horizon Wind Energy develops, constructs, owns and operates wind farms throughout North America. Karen Dressel of Horizon responded to an interview request from KLEM News with an email stating the "project was in the very early stages of development and Horizon Wind Energy was not at a point to make any comments at this time."
The requests for meteorological towers in Plymouth County are for property in two locations in Preston Township--sections 11 and 18 as well as Union Township Section 10.
The permits requested from the Board of Adjustment are for conditional use of land.
The meeting at two this afternoon also includes a request for a variance from zoning rules for a storage building in Marion Township Section 19. Mark Dietrich of Le Mars has asked for a 10 foot side lot variance for the building.

Branstad endorsed by Cedar Rapids paper
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) Republican Terry Branstad has picked up an Iowa newspaper's endorsement in the race for governor.
The Gazette in Cedar Rapids endorsed Branstad on Sunday over Democratic Gov. Chet Culver.
The newspaper touts Branstad's economic development agenda, saying it's focused on making the state's tax structure more appealing to businesses, among other things.
The Gazette says its editorial board believes Branstad will be more likely to ``cast a critical eye on state spending than Culver.''
But the endorsement doesn't come without reservations.
The newspaper acknowledges Branstad is ``not a perfect choice, by any means.'' It asks Branstad to take a stand against political assault on Iowa's courts and ``reconsider his desire to take civil rights away from gay and lesbian Iowans.''
Police arrest woman after West Des Moines stabbing
WEST DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Police in West Des Moines say a 30-year-old woman has been arrested after she allegedly stabbed two people outside a club.
Authorities say the incident happened before 5 a.m. on Sunday outside The Hangover in West Des Moines.
The two victims, both women, were taken to local hospitals.
Police say Ronlitta Tibbs was charged with two counts of willful injury and is in custody at Polk County Jail.
It was immediately unclear if Tibbs had an attorney.
A phone listing could not be located for her on Sunday.
Report: EPA monitoring air quality in Dubuque area
DUBUQUE, Iowa (AP) Federal officials are monitoring air quality in the Dubuque area.
In a story published Sunday, The (Dubuque) Telegraph Herald reports a monitoring station covering Dubuque shows readings that could cause concern.
If an area has an air quality measure of more than 35 parts per billion in regard to fine-particulate matter, the Environmental Protection Agency gets involved.
A reading for the Dubuque area shows 35. That's a three-year average.
EPA spokesman John Summerhays says the Dubuque area is one the agency is watching closely.
Meanwhile, state officials and business leaders are studying ways to reduce local particulates.
Greater Dubuque Development Corporation executive director Rick Dickinson says the group is starting a study of wind and atmospheric conditions pertaining to Dubuque.
Rescue groups worried about abandoned hunting dogs
CEDAR RAPIDS, Iowa (AP) Animal rescue group members say they're worried about an increase in abandoned bird dogs this season as Iowa's pheasant population dwindles.
The Gazette in Cedar Rapids reports that Great Plains Pointer Rescue founder Janelle Ford says her group is nervous about the coming hunting season. She says there could be a rash of abandoned dogs when hunters find few pheasants. The Iowa Department of Natural Resources expects a 23 percent drop in the pheasant population from two years ago.
The state's ring-necked pheasant season opens Oct. 30.
Ford says her group rescued 90 pointers in all of 2009 and in the first nine months of this year they have rescued 94 dogs. She says the collapse of the pheasant population and the recession are to blame.
Iowa marks National Teen Driver Safety Week
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) Efforts at reducing distractions behind the wheel are the focus in Iowa as the state marks National Teen Driver Safety Week.
The week started Sunday and the Iowa Department of Public Safety says teens can be distracted because they are texting and talking on cell phones while driving. The theme of the week this year is ``Reducing Distractions.'' State officials say distracted driving is one of the top reasons new drivers have crashes.
State officials say statistics show 41 young people between the ages of 15 and 20 died in crashes in Iowa last year. That's seven fewer than in 2008. Over the years 2000 to 2009, 850 young people between the ages of 16 and 24 died in Iowa traffic crashes.
University hosts more activities to curb drinking
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) Officials at the University of Iowa say they're seeing a big increase in participation of university-sponsored evening dorm activities.
The university has invested $100,000 this semester for more activities in an attempt to curb underage drinking. The events have included a soccer tournament, karaoke, game night and dances.
Iowa City is in the midst of a debate over a 21-only bar entry ordinance that will appear on the Nov. 2 ballot.
Kate Fitzgerald is an assistant director of residence life. She says the events are drawing up to 100 people. That's an increase from up to 30 last year.
About 30,000 students attend the university in Iowa City.
UI gets grant for special education teachers
IOWA CITY, Iowa (AP) The University of Iowa says two of its associate professors have received a $1.25 million federal grant to help train graduate students to become special education teachers.
The school says the money comes from the U.S. Department of Education and will fund a four-year effort to double the number of university students who seek doctorate degrees in special education. Associate professor William Therrien says there's a shortage of special education teachers across the country.
Therrien says the grant money will help students because they won't have to work while they're pursuing higher education. Currently the university's program has eight students but school officials hope that number rises to 16.
Greenhouse planned for Hudson schools
HUDSON, Iowa (AP) There are plans to build a greenhouse at the school district in Hudson.
Hudson Community Schools officials say the greenhouse should be finished in three to four weeks once construction starts. That's expected to be in November. The greenhouse will be built near Hudson High School and the approximately $25,000 cost will be paid for with Hudson's facilities budget and local option sales tax.
The Waterloo-Cedar Falls Courier reports that bedding plants, herbs, vegetables, and a hydroponics lab will be in the greenhouse.
School superintendent Tony Voss says students from kindergarten through seniors in high school will use the greenhouse. It should be fully operational in the spring. Hudson is about ten miles southwest of Waterloo.

zcs-7.1.1_GA_3204.SLES11_64 (patched)
Hi all,
I am trying to set a server in staging to reflect what we have in production. The server in staging has less resources than in production
My first attempt was to:
- install zimbra in staging
- rsync production to it
- update zimbra to the next version (due to patch) to be sure that zimbra is clean
- change tuning to match limited resources
- reset the server name (zmsetservername)
... it failed
I then tried to install using the installation configuration file from production:
- cahnge hostname and network information
- sudo ./install.sh config.prod
... it failed
I was hoping a hostname change and some tuning would be enough but it seems I was wrong.
How would you do this without having to set all parameters by hand and risk making mistakes?
Thanks for your help!

WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- A coalition of people gathered Tuesday across the street from a motel in Prince George's County to demand that a blind man, his wife and seeing eye dog be allowed to return to a home they were evicted from after more than 40 years.
A group called 'People for Change' and the 'National Foundation for the Blind' were there along with several elected State officials.
They asked, "Where was the compassion?" and "Where was the County government when the family was evicted for what the family says was just over $600 in late fees and penalties incurred when they were late paying their monthly rent."
Ray Raysor says he was shocked when Sheriff's deputies arrived last Tuesday to evict him, his wife Rene and dog Rayteeko.
An attorney for the Valley Green co-op in Landover Maryland told WUSA9 last week to allow the Raysors to stay, "Would not have been fair to the other tenants."
Pat Fletcher, a longtime resident leader disagreed and said, "We would have collected the $600 for him".
Today the co-op attorney Bernie Cook said he was not authorized to speak on the campaign to return the Raysors to their home.

Mortgage fraud suit brought by NY Attorney General against MERS, BofA, Chase and Wells Fargo
Newscast Media NEW YORK — Some of the nation's largest banks were sued on Friday by New York's Democratic Attorney General, Eric Schneiderman, for deceit and fraud in using an electronic mortgage registry that he said puts homeowners at a disadvantage in foreclosures. The biggest culprit in this fraudulent scheme is Mortgage Electronic Registration System Inc. or MERS, that uses an electronic
registry to track mortgages without having to pay local county fees for registering Deeds of Trust when ownership changes hands.
Schneiderman said on, "The banks created the MERS system as an end-run around the property recording system, to facilitate the rapid securitization and sale of mortgages. Once the mortgages went sour, these same banks brought foreclosure proceedings en masse based on deceptive and fraudulent court submissions, seeking to take homes away from people, with little regard for basic legal requirements or the rule of law."
Member banks like Bank of America, JP Morgan Chase, and Wells Fargo, who actually do not own these mortgages, but are only Servicers of securitized debt obligations, can then claim the right to foreclose on a property without disclosing the actual identity of the owner of the Deed or the Note, since the majority of mortgages issued between 2001-2008 were securitized and sold on the secondary market as derivatives. Schneiderman refused to negotiate a deal that lets banks off the hook after paying a soon-to-be-reached settlement, in which banks are expected to pay roughly $25 billion for fraudclosure. Instead, the New York Attorney General is fighting for homeowners in his state and holding these banks accountable.
MERS is owned by the company, MERSCORP, which in turn is owned by a group of Wall Street investment bankers. MERS is unregistered and unlicensed to conduct mortgage lending or any other type of business in any state and has been knowingly and intentionally, illegally and fraudulently recording mortgages and conducting business in the U.S. on a large scale and systematic fashion.
MERS often splits the Note from the Deed in violation of Carpenter v. Longan, creating an unsecured debt obligation, because one entity holds the Note, while MERS holds the Deed of Trust even though MERS is not a creditor nor does its name appear on the Notes secured by such Deeds. When the Note is bifurcated from the Deed, it means the lien was never perfected, therefore neither the holder of the Note nor the holder of the Deed can foreclose on a homeowner. The reason is: A person holding only the Note lacks the power to enforce it, and a person holding only a Deed of Trust suffers no default because only the holder of the debt obligation is entitled to payment on it.
By suing for "fraud and deceit" the New York Attorney General has put MERS and the bankers in a very difficult place because by law the Supreme Court has ruled that: "Fraud vitiates everything" (Boyce's Executors v. Grundy); also "Fraud vitiates the most solemn contracts, documents and even judgments," (in United States v. Throckmorton). This means that all the contracts that have MERS on them become nullified by law, if there was fraud involved as the NY Attorney General alleges in his lawsuit. Any previous judgments against homeowners who were also victims of the fraudulent scheme by MERS and the banks are also nullified and void by law, as stated below:
37 Am Jur 2d at section 8 states: "Fraud vitiates every transaction and all contracts. Indeed, the principle is often stated, in broad and sweeping language, that fraud destroys the validity of everything into which it enters, and that it vitiates the most solemn Contracts, Documents, and even Judgments."
If a document, contract or judgment is deemed fraudulent and void, no court in America is bound to honor such a judgment or contract, hence it releases the one who was defrauded from any further obligation, because the law permits the judge to declare such contracts and judgments from previous courts void. See below:
"A void act cannot be legally consistent with a valid one. An unconstitutional law cannot operate to supersede any existing valid law. Indeed, insofar as a statute runs counter to the fundamental law of the land, it is superseded thereby. NO ONE is bound to obey an unconstitutional law, and NO COURTS are bound to enforce it. (Sixteenth American Jurisprudence Second Edition, 1998 version, Section 203 (formerly Section 256)).

The Amsoil Great American Circle Track Tour - Ultimate RacingWritten by on July 8, 2010 More Racetracks And More Good Information
Part three
The AMSOIL Great American Circle Track Tour coverage continues as we visit with the racers, promoters, and fans at Southside Speedway, Old Dominion Speedway, and Hickory Motor Speedway. Being in the same region, these tracks do things in a similar way for the most part, but there are differences related to the class structure and the immediate locale for each track.
All three of these racetracks are more than half a century old with Hickory founded in 1951, Old Dominion in 1952, and Southside in 1959. The latter two have been surrounded by urban growth and who knows where that will end up? There were rumors that Old D. was slated for demolition in 2007, but it has survived so far. Hickory is still fairly remote in a more industrial section of that town and has a decent following.
Southside Speedway We visited Southside Speedway, near Richmond, Virginia, on April 16, on a Friday night. Almost off the bat, we began to notice a lot of fans were arriving. On this night they packed them in. The classes were full and the stands were full. I asked one of the owners if they had done any special promotions and if he could tell me why the attendance was so strong and no one was able to pin it down.
The one thing we noticed was that the announcer was a local radio host and he was doing a wonderful job of promoting the races and our visit. Every five minutes or less, he read from our page we offer detailing what our Tour is all about and the reason for our visit to the track. I thought that maybe he had promoted this night's racing in a similar fashion on his radio show. Could that be why so many people came out?
The classes at this track included the Late Model stock cars, asphalt IMCA-type Modifieds, and the usual Stocker classes. This is a very competitive track and the teams in the region have a healthy respect for its toughness. Multi-time winner Eddie Johnson was there racing a Petty blue No. 43 car and I heard that he won the last race at that track as of this writing, the first win for him in two years.
The Modified winner had a very special story. Mike Rudy had quickly prepared his car for this first race of the season after losing both of his parents in a period of nine days last September. Keeping busy taking care of the arrangements and resulting financial details had pushed his race car prep back until just before the season started. Nonetheless, he pressed on and came out a winner. It was an incredible race with the second place car, just feet behind, making contact at the flag and spinning Rudy around in Turn 1. It was an emotional Victory Lane ceremony to say the least.
Longtime car builder Rick Townsend was there with his new partner, Craig Oliver, in their new racing business. Oliver worked with Sprint Cup teams before joining Townsend to re-establish the Townsend name as a regional car builder.
Old Dominion Speedway As I stated in my blog the day after this Saturday night race we toured on April 17, this track has a history with me personally. It was here that I won my very first major championship with Wes Troup in 1996. I had just begun my software and consulting company and Troup was my first consulting job. I engineered the setup at the pre-season practice in March of that year and he went on to win 14 races, the track championship, and the NASCAR Atlantic Regional Championship. He also finished Third in the country in the short-track series that boasted 200 racetracks as members. It was special because it had demonstrated that consistency wins. Troup was not necessarily the fastest car at the beginning of each race, but he was definitely the fastest after 20 or so laps and at the end where it counts.
I reminisced with Dicky Gore, one of the developers of the Late Model Stock class years ago for NASCAR. Our discussion centered on racetrack promotion. Gore sold Old D. a few years ago and the new owner had a difficult time with the promotion side of the venture. Gore agreed to come back and manage the promotions, and the track is well on its way to recovery.
The classes that ran on this night were mixed with a combination of Late Models, four-cylinder stockers, Mini-cup cars, and Legends cars. The Legends cars put on quite a show with the leader getting turned in Turn 4 with two laps to go and flipping down the front straight numerous times. It's a testament to the durability of these cars that the driver emerged from the car unscathed.
The eventual winner of the Late Model race approached me after winning the pole and said how much he enjoyed reading Circle Track and how much good information he had gotten from us. He was still in development with the car, but was very close to getting it just right. In the race, his car was far more consistent and although he did not lead early on, he chased down the leader and eventually passed for the lead and took the checkered flag. That scenario would play out many times over the course of our Tour.
As for the promotion of Old D., Gore does it right. His approach is to come to know each and every one of the competitors, follow what they are doing all during each week, and try to help them to success, as well as to build the pit attendance by enforcing rules and making sensible judgements on violations, some of which he has learned over the years are unintentional. Knowing when to throw the book at a competitor and when to back off has earned him the respect of the racers and allowed this track to be successful over the years.
When we competed back in 1996, we were stinking up the show by all indicators. We sat on the pole most nights, won most of the races, and most nights we were usually leading by a half lap at the end. This is not what most promoters want to see. And there were rumors of cheating on our part circulating. So, one night, Gore was going to find our "secret" one way or the other. After winning the race, the officials stripped the car of all of the body panels, removed the transmission and rearend, disassembled those and traced every electrical wire on the car. After a couple of hours of frustration, the car was deemed legal.
In doing so, Mr. Gore had demonstrated to the other competitors that he was bound and determined to run a fair show and once we were thoroughly inspected, he told Troup he would never do so again. The whole of the pits was satisfied that we were legal and all knew that they were going to have to get busy and do their homework if they were going to keep up. And they did-with another of my clients, Dale Delozier, winning the track championship two years in a row in 1998 and 1999.
Hickory Motor Speedway We added Hickory MS after the original schedule was published and we're sure glad it we did. Hickory was hosting the USARacing series along with the USAC Ford Focus Midgets, ISCAR (an ASA-sanctioned series for compact stock cars formerly known as the Goodies Dash Series), and the Allison Legacy racing series.
Granted, these were not typical Saturday night scheduled classes because USARacing rents the track for this event. But it does tell us something about how this premier series is adapting to the changing times. The regular Hickory fans get to see not only the top non-NASCAR series for short tracks (ARCA being considered a big track series), but they were able to see Midget cars and a few other traveling series run. And the competition was very good providing lots of racing action, passing, and last minute lead changes all night.
I spoke with USARacing's Larry Camp, the managing partner of the series, and the group that purchased this series is continuing to build it from near extinction into a strong representation for what short track racers can aspire to become. After all, these cars are as close as you can get to what is run in Sprint Cup or ARCA.
With the TV coverage and the ability to run a variety of tracks including the mile-long Rockingham Speedway, drivers and teams who desire to go further find this a very good stepping stone. Not only do the driver and crew chief build confidence and experience, but they also gain knowledge of public speaking through interviews, online promotions, and other media coverage.
As a side note, we were supposed to visit Winchester Speedway on this leg of the Tour, but unfortunately, we got rained out. This was to be our first dirt track of the Tour with many more coming during the second half of the 2010 Tour including the famed Eldora Speedway and the World 100 race.
Analysis What we are continuing to see on this tour are the practices of combining classes, combining engine rules, introducing what used to be considered "lower class" cars running motorcycle engines, and the drivers are getting younger and younger.
Do these trends appear to be favorable to the fans and will they save the sport? Only time will tell. But for now, it all seems to be working out. I usually sit in the stands for the races because I want a fan's eye view, first of all. And secondly, I can gauge the crowd's reaction to, say, a Legends car race or a Mini-cup race. I'm interested in how the changes that are going on affect the success of the front gate attendance.
Sure, racers are racers and racing is racing-from karts to Cup. How many of us have had a good measure of thrill beating our buddies on a commercial go-kart track in an amusement park? I know I have. It's no different to the driver and teams who run the various classes, but we need to be considerate of the families who attend.
And maybe these trends attract more youngsters who see drivers their age competing on a big track against, sometimes, much older drivers. If the tracks we have visited so far are any indication, something is drawing the younger generation, because there is definitely an influx of youth in short track racing today. That is healthy for the sport by all indications.
What's Next? In our next installment we visit Bowman Gray Stadium and Carolina Speedway, our first dirt venue on the Tour. With us not able to visit Winchester, we are excited about looking into how dirt racing is going and what trends and adjustments are taking place on the dusty side of short track racing.
There are some very interesting things to report in the next issue of CT, so stay tuned. Our major sponsor, AMSOIL, has been great and the reception we get from the tracks, fans, and racers to its products has continued to amaze me. The fact is, AMSOIL is out there big time and the users and distributors are very passionate about the product.
It's high time the stock car racing community was made aware of this unique product that boasts being the very first synthetic oil to come to market. And the nice thing about the company is that it has always supported racing in various forms with a complete line of products specially formulated for racing engines. Now, fortunately, we are able to spread the word about AMSOIL.

Eddie Johnson (center), a many time winner at Southside Speedway as well as Lanier over the years stands by his new race car, a No. 43 painted Petty blue. He had trouble at the start of the race, but came back several weeks later and won for the first time in two years. And, his setup appeared to be of a more conventional type.The AMSOIL sticker looks great on Johnson's car. We spoke with many racers who were either users of the product or a dealer or distributor. One of the things we try to impress on the race teams is that they can become dealers for the products to help raise money for their racing programs. The AMSOIL company is very open to providing opportunities to racers.The IMCA-type Modifieds were in force at Southside and put on a great show. There was an interesting race and finish in this class. Read our detailed account to find out more. Southside is known for its tough track configuration, being fairly flat and small. The bullring atmosphere surely brought out the fans. It was a near record night for the track and the owners couldn't really tell me why it worked so well. We have our thoughts on it.One of the small but significant things we see is the support of local groups such as this National Guard unit which had a display giving away items to the kids. Later on in the show, there was a pushup contest which I think was won by a girl, doing girly pushups I'm sure.Our friends at AMSOIL provided an area dealer on our visit to Old Dominion. Ralph Graul put his truck on display and it is a rolling billboard for the products. The Dodge Ram truck was completely wrapped with a unique hood design. He had taken a photo of his engine, which had a double bypass oil filter system from AMSOIL installed and the wrap company incorporated that into the design. So, it looks like the hood is ripped open and you can see the engine. Very cool indeed.One of the things we like to see is a high level of safety. This Legends driver, Keenan Simmons, and his racing brother both use the HANS head-and-neck restraint system. Our hats are off to both of them for keeping themselves safe. This is something we would like to see more of.More and more Mini cars are running in the same program as Late Models at many short tracks we visited. There is no shortage of entertainment when these guys get going. The turns' speeds are relatively high, more than the Late Model speeds, and the racing can get dicey. Not only do youngsters race these cars, but some older guys want to run nothing else but these. It's that exciting. We think it provides a very good opportunity to learn how to race and develop the skills needed to be able to run clean, pass, and win.This blast from the past paint scheme showed up at Old Dominion. If you read this issue of CT, you will recognize this paintjob as being a replica of sorts of Smokey Yunick's cars, including the 1967 Chevelle detailed in this issue. His legend lives on.If you can read these signs at the entrance to Hickory Motor Speedway, they say, "Americas Most FAMOUS short track," Birthplace of the NASCAR STARS, and "History, Tradition, Mystique." This is one of a few remaining tracks where the early stars of NASCAR ran including Tim Flock, Junior Johnson, Ned Jarrett, and Ralph Earnhardt. It started out as a half-mile dirt track in 1951 and was paved in 1967.
The USAC Ford Focus Midgets line up, and are readied to compete on the tough 3/8-mile track. It's always fun to see Open Wheel cars run and these cars have a high power-to-weight ratio making them very fast.Our Dirt Late Model engine partners, Roush Yates Engines, build a mean four-cylinder engine for USAC's Ford Focus Series. These small motors put out an amazing amount of horses to drive these highly competitive cars. We noticed some definite handling issues among many of the cars. A lack of balance in the setup contributed to three-wheel racing off the turns.

Excellent, not elite
Q&A | Author Andy Crouch argues that everyone should strive to make culture by humbly mastering a field that intersects with the world's brokenness
"Excellent, not elite" Continued...
Christianity Today senior editor Andy Crouch graduated from Cornell and Boston University, was an InterVarsity campus pastor at Harvard, and served as editor-in-chief of Regeneration Quarterly. He's the rare author of an excellent book-Culture Making (IVP 2008)-who also can play a terrific piano.
At what age did you start being a culture maker? Funny you should ask that: It's my earliest memory. I was 4 years old. My mom was a classical pianist and piano teacher. I remember her coming out of her studio, my babysitter bringing me in to see her, and I proudly performing the "ABC Song." (Sings "A, B, C, D, E, F, G, offers to continue).
What did you major in at Cornell? Classics. As much Greek as I could take, and as little Latin.
What did you plan to become? (laughs) A very holy person who could read the New Testament in the original language. I somehow absorbed in my twisted, adolescent mind, that I'd then have access to spiritual depths that others didn't. That turned out to be completely not the case. Most surprisingly, you discover when you read the Gospel of Mark, it's like USA Today in terms of the level of writing.
Wasn't Mark using street language so as to communicate with common folks, not elites? Does the difference between street and elite play into the difference between your book, Culture Making, and James Davidson Hunter's book To Change the World? He seems to argue that elites make culture, and you write more about everyone making culture. Is that a valid distinction? Yes, that's so true. Dr. Hunter and I have different instincts. When you ask when I first made culture, I don't think of my first publication in a national magazine. I think of the "ABC Song," because that's culture. Where does cultural influence come from? It's very mysterious-the Holy Spirit can work through a lot of different vessels.
Let's talk about other people who aren't usually seen as culture makers. I wrote Culture Making with two groups in mind: women who don't work outside the home, and plumbers. I thought it a good test for a book about culture to be able to give it to my plumber and have him see what he does in the same way artists and filmmakers see their work.
Did you give a copy to your plumber? Yes, but I haven't seen him since-his visits tend to be expensive! I also wanted mothers to realize the basic unit of culture is the family, and what happens in those first five years shapes people for the rest of their lives. That's as much culture making as anything that happens in the White House or on Fifth Avenue.
Some people aspire to be part of the elite. Pursuing being elite is a terrible idea. I partly say this because I worked at Harvard for 10 years, and most people who pursue being elite end up being shaped solely by that: They become nothing but elite. I'd much rather have everyone, whatever their prospects for being elite or not, pursue excellence. Excellence is often accompanied by humility, whereas being elite often is not. People who have obtained mastery of certain fields, I've found, are surprisingly humble, because they've become aware of how difficult their work is.
So, to be a serious culture maker, pursue excellence, not status? The key to becoming a serious culture maker is you learn to tell when you played the scale well and when you didn't. I can only do that in a primary way with maybe three things in my life: I've learned to play the piano with a serious level of excellence, I think I've learned to write with a serious level of excellence, and a year ago, at age 41, I started learning the cello. It takes 10,000 hours to develop mastery of something, but my goal is to seriously engage with the cello.
Why cello? My wife plays the violin, my daughter is learning the violin, our son is very serious about the viola, and so I realized if dad would just get his act together we'd have a full string quartet. That's the proximate reason for the cello. I also neared a midlife crisis. I didn't want it to be a car, but mid-life crises need to be bulky, expensive, take up a lot of time: You need to caress them the way you would a woman, so you know, the cello fits.
Did you get a bright red cello? It's an ordinary cello, but a red convertible cello would have been ideal!
How should others decide how to invest their time? The 10,000 hours is a great index, because you will not make it to mastery unless you love something. So, the first question: What do you love enough to make it to those 10,000 hours? For me, writing and music are two things. For other people it's chemistry or philosophy.
Journalists tend to prefer specific detail rather than abstract philosophy. I went back to philosophy over and over in college because it was the thing I did least well. I could never do philosophy for 10,000 hours. I'd die. Whereas I have friends who do that-they wake up and think about Hegel every morning.
Should Christians think differently about vocation than non-Christians? For Christians it can't just be a self-discovery process of "What are my deepest desires and how do I fulfill those?" Not instead of that, but in addition to that, we should ask, "Does this vocation take me to a place where the world is in pain?" Christian vocation takes us to a place where our work intersects with the brokenness of the world. That contrasts with the Kantian idea that your vocation is what you least like to do because God secretly hates you and is going to send you to do the thing you most dislike. I don't think that's right. God does call us to place our delights in the context of the cross and to delight in living where the world hurts.
So some people wake up thinking about Hegel every morning. Please, don't ask me anything else about Hegel!
Deal. I'll ask about someone a lot more people these days wake up thinking about: Lady Gaga. Why? I have to confess, I don't get it. I suspect you get it and can tell us. No, I don't entirely get why people are fascinated with her and what she's doing. Except, for 200 years, since the French Enlightenment, a big part of the engine of Western culture has been epater le bourgeois, or shock the bourgeois. Some artists in every generation trade in shock. Some of them do it in high art, Lady Gaga does it in pop art. In every generation someone comes along who represents that kind of shock and fascination.
Salvador Dali? Exactly. Dali, or Picasso in his day.

Obama Backs Pension Funding Relief With Conditions
The Obama administration has endorsed legislative efforts to provide additional funding relief to defined-benefit plan sponsors but only if the relief is targeted to companies that really need it, according to a letter to key lawmakers from Labor Secretary Hilda Solis.
The administration also wants to ensure that funding relief is not available to companies in severe financial distress that are unlikely to meet future plan funding obligations, according to the letter.
Copies of the letter were sent to House Education and Labor Committee Chairman George Miller, D-California, and House Ways and Means Committee Chairman Sander Levin, D-Michigan.
Also according to the letter, the Obama administration wants to ensure that the cash saved by companies through funding relief is put into job creation and preservation—and that cash not needed for those purposes is put into the pension funds before being distributed to shareholders or plowed into pay raises for company executives.
"Finally, the legislation should not provide funding relief to companies that are unlikely to be able to meet their pension obligations in the future because of severe financial distress, such as firms in bankruptcy or those that have failed to make past required pension contributions," Solis wrote in her letter. "Allowing these companies to reduce their pension contributions creates an unacceptable risk of loss to workers, retirees and the PBGC."

|Marissa Smith runs at Mountain West Championships
|Written by Holyoke Enterprise
Marissa Smith, a junior at Colorado State University in Fort Collins, wrapped up her track season at the Mountain West Conference Outdoor Track and Field Championships May 8-11 in Las Vegas, Nev.
Smith was one of 25 girls and 23 boys from CSU selected to go to the championships.
She ran on the women's 4x100-meter relay team, which came in ninth place, posting a time of :48.10. At the last minute, the lead leg in the relay had to be switched due to an injury. Unfortunately, the new runner had not worked with the team on handoffs, etc.
During the season, Smith was also a part of the 4x400-meter relay team, and although she did not run with them during the Mountain West Championships, the relay took eighth place, finishing in 3:49.18.
CSU women totaled 89.5 points in the competition, earning third place behind San Diego State and New Mexico. The men racked up 165 points, putting them in second place, bested only by Air Force Academy.
Smith is a 2010 graduate of HHS and is the daughter of Dave and Rhonda Smith of Holyoke. At CSU, she is studying health and exercise science with an emphasis in health promotion and a minor in business administration.

no wonder the christians don't like the catholics.so these are perverts that don't have to register as child molesters.all in the name of religion.i knew that there were some weird ones out there.if this country would start shooting these people it would slow it down.i always said that there was something wrong with priest.some strange rules.

Obstructing justice by manipulating evidence and preventing victims and others to speak out is a criminal act. Just as Obama/Hillary and Holder trying to avoid the investigation of Fast and Furious and in the Benghazi fiasco. Power is a corrupting influence whether you are a Cardenal with an oath to God and right, or a politician who takes an oath uphold the laws of a nation. When did we arrive at the point where such people think that they are above the law of man or God? All should be forced to talk about the truth whether the choose to recognize it or not.
