"Overall it was a very positive experience," Iowa State head coach Duane Sorenson said. "We were able to race a lot of events against very good competition. We know where our strengths and weaknesses are going forward, and what needs to be worked on for the big meets we still have ahead."
Engel proved she was the top competitor in the 200 back from the start of Sunday prelims as she recorded the top qualifying time in prelims with a 2:02.54, setting up a showdown against Air Force's Sam Laughlin who posted a 2:02.60.
The final was more work for Engel as she was in fourth place at the 100 mark behind Laughlin and Kansas' Sonia Filatova and Yuleya Kuchkarova. At 150 it was down to Engel and the Jayhawks' Kuchkarova, but Engel brought the closing speed with a final 50 of 30.10 to get the win in 2:01.66.
"This season, Marissa has a better understanding of what it takes to be great," Sorenson noted. "About half way through today's race, she made a decision that she wanted to go out and win it. She was able to do that."
Wistey qualified second for the 200 breast final, with Maddie Hutt of Nebraska-Omaha about half-a-second ahead going into the final. Wistey led after 50 yards, but Hutt was able to come back and take the lead at 100 and hold a 0.28 second lead going into the final 50. Wistey showed her speed that makes her ISU's school record holder in the 100 breast with a closing 50-split of 36.25 to Hutt's 37.05 to win the race in 2:18.60. Wistey's career-best time in the 200 breast is 2:18.25.
"We are excited with how Imelda's race went," Sorenson said. "She has always been able to take her race out quickly. Today was another example of her improved ability to finish the 200 breast and she is not far off her lifetime-best."
Amanada Paulson posted her top individual performance of the weekend by finishing second in the 100 free in 51.56. Paulson was in the lead at the 50-yard mark before being passed by Nebraska's Taryn Collura down the stretch. Paulson also finished second as part of the 400 free relay team as she led off for a quartet that included Savanna Townsend, Brooke Evensen and Karyl Clarete in 3:29.13.
Clarete closed out the weekend with a pair of top-six individuals efforts. In the first 1650 free of her Iowa State career, Clarete finished in third place with a 17:06.67, putting her 11th in school history in the event. In the 200 fly, Clarete was sixth in 2:08.67.
Iowa State got two big performances in 'B' final races. In the 200 breast, Ali Stearns blew away the field to win the 'B' final and finish ninth overall in 2:23.45. Her time was two seconds ahead of the rest of the 'B' final field. In the 200 fly, Shahar Silberman used a big last 50 yards to pass Julia Roller of Nebraska for the win and ninth overall in 2:08.78.
Iowa State's divers will get their chance to shine next weekend at the Iowa Invitational, starting on Friday, Dec. 6 in Iowa City. The Cyclone swimmers will return to the pool on Friday, Dec. 13 for the yearly showdown against the Iowa Hawkeyes as part of the Iowa Corn Cy-Hawk Series at 6 p.m. in Beyer Pool.
"Leading up to Iowa, we need to work on the little things," Sorenson concluded. "We need to be more aggressive in the turns, and continue to balance being aggressive in our race-strategy but also relaxed so we can finish strongly. Lastly, we also need to still have the desire to reach our goals and realize that the walls we build around our goals can be broken down and those fast times are attainable."

Gently rolling terrain, lush woods and a
beautiful lake make the Sam Dale Lake State Fish & Wildlife Area the
perfect spot for a family outing. Located northwest of Johnsonville in
Wayne County, this area has something for everyone: fishing, hunting,
picnicking, and camping. Visitors may see quail, rabbit, dove,
squirrel, deer, muskrat, fox, raccoon, owls, turkey, hawk, wood cock
or beaver roaming the timber or brushy fields of the park. The highlight
of a visit here is the Sam Dale Lake, a beautiful 194 acre lake with 5 miles of shoreline trails to enjoy or explore. In addition, several smaller ponds are home to fish
and wildlife.
The initial 40-acre piece of land was purchased
in 1959. Since then, additional land has been added bringing the total to 1,302 acres. The site was named for Sam O. Dale,
an eight-term state representative who also served as a teacher, principal
and superintendent of schools in Hamilton County.
Hunters will be delighted with rolling
open fields interspersed by evergreen plantings and fence rows
which are perfect game hunting habitat. Hunting is restricted to the 930 acres
posted for hunting. For your convenience, Windshield Cards can be obtained online for Deer Archery, Turkey Fall Archery, Squirrel, Dove, Rabbit, Quail and Furbearer Trappers. The permit must be displayed in the windshield while hunting or trapping. All hunting is to be with shotgun or bow and arrow only. For additional hunting information
see the Hunter Fact Sheet
The long, narrow lake has many curves and
fingers, making it an ideal setting for the avid fisherman. Species available
include largemouth bass, bluegill, redear, crappie and channel catfish.
Two launching ramps, boat docks, several floating fishing docks
and rental boats are available. The motor limit is 10 HP. A concession stand
sells fishing bait near the boat dock area.
Two Class B/E campgrounds provide the overnight
visitor with necessary amenities in a shady, secluded section of the park.
These campsites have electricity and a sanitary dump station. One has
a playground close by for small children. Tent and group
camping areas also are available, including a handicapped pad in one campground.
Campsite Reservations
are accepted online through ReserveAmerica.
Hikers will delight at the sights and sounds
along the 3.2-mile nature trail as it winds through the wooded area in a
circular pattern with three major loops. The trail skirts the
lake for an easy side trip to the shore. A 1.6-mile trail from the group
campground area to the dam winds along the lake..
The tall, shady trees and plentiful flowers
and greenery beckon many nature-lovers to the Sam Dale
Lake picnic areas. Three picnic areas have shelters and are reservable online through ReserveAmerica. Several picnic areas are available
with tables, drinking fountains, and outdoor stoves. Playground equipment
is nearby. A concession stand offers sandwiches and cold drinks.
Sam Dale Lake is located in
northwestern Wayne County. Coming North or South on I-57, take exit #109,
turn East on Rt 161, travel approx. 22 miles, look for a large sign on
the left for the entrance to Sam Dale Lake. If traveling from the East
on Rt 50, turn South on Rt 45 to Cisne, turn West and travel approx. 8
mi. to site entrance sign. From the West on Rt 161, travel 22 miles east
of Rt 37 to park entrance.

Mr. Stephen F. Black, Director
Office: Temple Tutwiler Hall
Believing that The University of Alabama has a critical role to play in preparing students to serve as effective, engaged and ethical citizens, the Center for Ethics & Social Responsibility (CESR) seeks to assist students in developing a distinctive definition of moral and civic maturity, making the values and skills of citizenship a hallmark of a University of Alabama education. The University of Alabama's strong commitment to civic engagement and UA's history of community-university partnerships serve as a foundation for the Center. Faculty and students in a wide range of departments at UA have earned distinction for their scholarly contributions to the study of ethics and civic engagement. CESR builds upon these substantial resources, with the larger goal of linking curriculum and the campus culture by establishing multiple sites through which students can engage in meaningful service for academic credit and in thoughtful consideration of the ethical obligations they have toward their fellow citizens. In particular, CESR staff assists faculty members in developing service-learning courses that engage community organizations in partnerships designed to both enhance academic learning goals as well as to apply scholarly learning to salient community issues. The service experiences are to be integrated into the students' academic curricula, providing structured time for students to think, talk, and write about what they did and saw during the activities. In seeking to better connect social responsibility and ethical development to the academic mission of the University, the work of CESR also entails the development of academic programs such as Moral Forum (a university-wide debate competition, serving as an integral part of the University Honors Program), a minor in civic engagement and leadership (co-sponsored by New College, the Department of Philosophy, the ROTC program, and CESR), as well as courses such as Documenting Justice (a year-long justice-based anthropological documentary filmmaking class), and the Nonprofit Enrichment Team (a multidisciplinary team of students who provide a variety of critical services to new and developing nonprofit agencies and community organizations operating in Alabama's disadvantaged communities). CESR is also concerned with developing and supporting non-curricular activities that incorporate ethical and social discourse into campus life. The Center for Ethics & Social Responsibility began in fall 2005 as a result of a gift from Mignon C. Smith. Concerned about what she perceived to be an increasing lack of ethics in business and public affairs, Ms. Smith sought to establish a university-based ethics program that would support the study of ethics and develop projects to nurture social responsibility and reflective, thoughtful citizenship. Under the leadership of UA President Robert E. Witt, Provost Judy Bonner, and with the help of an interdisciplinary group of UA faculty, this vision became the Center for Ethics & Social Responsibility. To learn more about CESR, contact firstname.lastname@example.com or (205) 348-6490. CESR can also be visited on the Web, at cesr.ua.edu, or in person at Temple Tutwiler Hall on Colonial Drive, next to Reese Phifer Hall.

Mint Hill considers regional consortium
"CONNECT Our Future: Vibrant Communities—Robust Region" is a process that seeks to create a regional growth framework for development among communities across a 14-county wide area in North and South Carolina.
The three-year process utilizes input from counties, communities, non-profit organizations, businesses, educators, and other organizations to form the plan and is funded by a $4.9 million federal grant and $3 million in local matching funds.
Jim Prosser, executive director at Centralina Council of Governments, gave a presentation of the program at the October 25 meeting of the Mint Hill town commission.
"The basic purpose of this effort is to establish a regional framework for how all the cities and the counties are going to grow for the next 30 to 50 years," Prosser said.

Love that fact they had my shoe size and on sale made it more attractive.
So cute and comfy
These shoes feel very comfortable and didn't seem to need to be broken in like most shoes I buy. I wear mine everyday unless its raining as I'd hate for them to get dirty.
Looooooooove it, and its so comfortable.
Great deal, n a money saver, and cute
My daughter loves her Hello Kitty Vans!
If you love the dependable Vans brand and are Head over Heels for Hello Kitty, then these are the shoes for you!
I want more pairs !!!
Comfy and fun!! I wear to work on casual day and everyone knows its me..This is my personality ..I love Hello Kitty:)
Walking in Style
These shoes were a gift to my daughter. I noticed that she struggled to put the shoes on, which makes me believe the shoe may be a bit too narrow. Other than that, she loves these cute shoes.
Great shoes
My 1 in a half year old loves them but unties them a lot.
Love these!
The shoes arrived right on time. Perfect experience, I will buy more.
comfortably cute
These shoes are very comfortable a little bit wide for narrow feet but taking in consideration that is best to use it with socks there's no prob, also my feet tend to swell when I walk so a little extra width helps.

I took my best mulie buck to date in '08 becuase I "got back in" away from the other hunters.I packed him out 13 miles on my back and no I didn't waste any meat and it was one of the best eating deer I've had in years.It's the hunters responsibility to take the proper care for the animal that they harvest and I hate hunters who waste any meat!
The buck I ended up nicknaming "Fish hook" due to a kicker that looks like a fishhook scored 163 3/8 gross.
And yes I'd due it agian
Can you handle the challenge.... hunt hard but safe!!
There is a limit to what I will do... an area I hunt a lot has an area outside my comfort zone. I know there are animals in there, but on my solo trips it's just too dang hard to get them out of there alone... without an extraction plan or help, you would waste a lot of the animal by killing it too far away.... I myself will let them walk if I get that far away.
Usually 6 to 8 miles is about as far as I go alone...
I think you have to consider more than just miles too... weather conditions can play a big part of the situation too.... if you were 3 or 4 miles out and you killed a big bull and it was 85 degrees out... you'd have a big problem there too...
It's probably different for each hunter.... know your limits.
Farthest I've pack is 17 miles for dall sheep in AK. Out west anywhere from 3 to 8 miles mostly when solo. If I get a deer I bone it out completely 1 trip. An elk will take me 2-3 trips solo boned out. Horses would be nice but I don't like the hassle of dealing with them. Hiring a packer would be a good idea but I'm afraid they'll know my good hunting spots and then everyone knows. I always come back later to get my camp last.
It always sounds nice; going in light and deep and coming out heavy- but its that heavy part that can never be underestimated, especially if you hunt solo. If the pack into a backcountry unit seems difficult, wait till the adrenaline wears off and you have yourself to thank for the heavy load of meat and gear on your back, with more of the same over the course of a few days of packing, unless you get help or hunt with a buddy. This is not a threat or warning, its a promise. Pride can occasionally take a backseat to the reality of a grim hunting dilemma: Will that meat hung up in the tree spoil before I can get it out? Honor your kill; know your limitations and vary them accordingly to the situation.
Dang, I'll be 6-8 miles back and I know I'll have a good set of chores to get the meat out without spoiling. I'll be cooling in water tight bags in a stream for a spell to buy myself some extra time as well.
++ on cooling in the stream.

Youth Attacked By Pit Bull Has Surgery
Ten-year-old Martins Ferry child mauled by dog at Island house
June 13, 2013
A 10-year-old Martins Ferry girl underwent facial reconstructive surgery Thursday to repair injuries she sustained the night before when she was attacked by an unregistered pit bull at a home on......
My American Pit Bull Terrier is 11 years old. She has never bitten anyone. She has been kind and gentle to my 6 children as they've grown and has welcomed my 5 grandchildren into our home.
I have an APBT because of their loving nature, especially toward children. I am not a street thug nor do I aspire to be one. I do not deal drugs. I would never dream of being involved in dog fighting.
Any breed of dog can be raised to be vicious. The APBT is not more likely to be human aggressive than other breeds. Any aggression by an APBT is more likely to be reported in the media, though.
(BTW, my last APBT lived to be 13. She, too, was a loving family dog who never showed aggression toward any person.)

Sounds like there's more than one adult who failed to protect this child...absolutely unacceptable.
I'm sorry...but if you own an obviously vicious dog...which you apparently have fostered and allowed as the owner and master of that beast, and especially if you have been officially warned...you as responsible for injuries caused as if you did them with your own hands.
Very poor...very unacceptable.

There are only a few reasons people have pitbulls.
1. Wannabe street thugs who aren't tough enough to stir up trouble and handle it themselves so they let the dog intimidate everyone. 2. Drug dealers or users who use the dogs to guard their stashes. 3. People who use them for fighting.
Pitbulls should be outlawed in all urban communities. I don't buy into the crap that people spout off that these "poor" dogs aren't innately vicious. They are. All it takes is one time for someone or something to trigger these dogs and then you end up with s situation like this.

most people with bad pitbulls don't even have jobs.these dogs must be insured.the breed itself isn't bad but most owners are.in the hands of responsible owners they are great dogs.

Football: Pine Lake Prep vs. CS of Davidson Home
7:30 at Hopewell HS. This is the first meeting. Pine Lake Prep (0-9, 0-4) vs. Community School of Davidson (3-7, 2-2). Players to watch: CSD – K Adam Scearce, RB Joey Bernardini, QB Garrett Hart; Pine Lake Prep – WR Austin Pirkle, QB A.J. Carangelo, WR Joe Berg. THE SKINNY: CSD can improve its playoff positioning with a victory in this Southern Piedmont 1A conference game. First-year Pine Lake Prep is seeking its first victory, which would be a huge emotional boost headed into the off-season. CSD prefers a ball-control attack. Pine Lake Prep passes more effectively.

My other friend Stephanie has this recipe she's ALWAYS talking about, Pumpkin Roll. She brought it for Thanksgiving, it was part of our dessert-athon, and she was right it is something to talk about. I think if no one was watching and it was calorie free I could possibly make myself sick eating slices of it. I finally got around to making it and it was so worth the minuscule amount of work involved. The fact that it can be kept in the freezer until served makes it even better. I was about out of powdered sugar so I used some regular granulated sugar in the frosting, it gave it this texture that was not quite gritty but not smooth. I loved it and so did my husband, I'll be making it like that from now on.
Pumpkin Roll
3/4 cup flour
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon cinnamon
1/2 teaspoon cloves
1/2 teaspoon ginger
1/4 teaspoon salt
3 large eggs
1 cup granulated sugar
2/3 cup pumpkin
beat eggs and granulated sugar in large mixer bowl until thick
beat in pumpkin
stir in flour mixture
spread evenly into prepared pan
bake for 13 to 15 minutes or until top of cake springs back when touched
immediately loosen and turn cake onto prepared towel
carefully peel off paper, roll up cake and towel together, starting with narrow end
cool on wire rack
carefully unroll cake
spread frosting over cake
reroll cake then wrap in plastic wrap and freeze
when ready to serve remove from the freezer let sit for 10 minutes then slice and serve
you can also slice the whole roll and quickly freeze slices flat on a cookie sheet, then slip them into a freezer bag for school lunch treats (or mommy snacks during "rest time")
A Pumpkin Roll would be a lovely dish to bring to any potluck or anywhere you want to impress people with your cooking prowess and look good while doing it! And AND it uses canned pumpkin which ties in perfectly with the CANS FOR COMMENTS theme of this post. So there you go canned pumpkin, cans for comments and potlucks all in one post.
Peace and Love--

Global Experts Meet to Assess Species' Vulnerability to Climate Change
05 December 2007 | News story
A four-day Species Vulnerability Traits workshop was hosted jointly by Imperial College London, IUCN Species Programme and IUCN Species Survival Commission (hereafter referred to jointly as IUCN) and the Zoological Society of London.
It formed an important early step in two new projects that aim to identify the traits that predispose species to elevated vulnerability to extinction, particularly due to the impacts of climate change. The workshop was attended by 31 biologists whose expertise spanned a broad range of taxonomic groups and biodiversity-threatening processes...

Don't worry though, we have a lot more Downhill & Freeride in stock than that.View Similar Products
Yeti Cycles AS-R 7 Frame - RP23 $0.00
The ASR-7 and SB-66 weigh the same, and can easily break the 30lb barrier with similar component packages. They also share the same bottom bracket height -- but the similarities stop there. The ASR-7 is a seven-inch travel bike, equipped with a full inch more travel than the SB-66. But, the defining differences between the SB-66 and ASR-7 are the suspension system and geometry.
The SB-66 has a unique eccentric pivot design that provides an axle path with a rearward motion, where the ASR-7 opts for Yeti's proven Active Suspension -- a simpler 'single pivot' design that has an arcing axle path. Don't let the single pivot designation place this bike in the same category of flexy single-pivot bicycles, though. Yeti's AS design relies on a 'dog bone' link, that's constructed of high modulus carbon, to prevent side loading of the Fox RP23 rear shock.
This, along with the heavy-duty bearings, offers ultra-smooth action, and ideal pivot locations give the ASR-7 distinct, ride-enhancing characteristics. The stout dog bone ties together a hydroformed main triangle and rear swingarm for a stiff, line-holding chassis. An added benefit of the AS design compared to multilink systems is a lack of complicated, flex-permitting, and chainstay-lengthening links. Because of this, the ASR-7 is not only incredibly stiff, it has relatively short 43cm chainstays.
The chainstays are about 5mm shorter than the SB-66, and keep in mind that the ASR-7 has a full inch more travel than the SB-66, too. Now consider the arcing axle path of an ASR-7; it further shortens the chainstay length when compressed vs. the lengthening of chainstays with the SB-66. Shorter chainstays combined with more travel give the ASR-7 a noticeably livelier nature when negotiating technical downhill terrain. The SB-66 may pedal better over sharp bumps and be less fatiguing on 40-mile backcountry adventures, but when the trail favors tough descents we're throwing a leg over the ASR-7.
Another reason to opt for the ASR-7 when the terrain has long, technical descents with punchy climbs is its slack, 66.8 degree seat-tube angle and shorter effective top-tube length. This allows for a compact cockpit when the seat's dropped to offer increased maneuverability, or conversely, it will stretch out the cockpit when raised for an efficient-when-pedaling cockpit. In comparison the SB-66 has a 70.9 degree seat angle and a longer effective top-tube that will not offer the same cockpit variation from pedal-able to toss-able as the ASR-7.
One misleading stat between these two bikes is their head angles. Surprisingly, the marathon-ready SB-66 has a slacker headangle than the gnar-hound ASR-7 -- 67 vs. 65.9 degrees. Again, you need to consider the arcing axle path when looking at these numbers. The eccentric pivot on an SB-66 will help maintain its head angle throughout its travel, providing a consistent 65.9 degrees. The ASR-7 is going to slacken its angle as it runs through its travel. In fact, when the ASR-7's shock is sagged, it'll sport a head angle right around 68 degrees.
To summarize, if you're aiming for gravity-assisted, technical downhill runs peppered with jump lines and stunts that require occasional pedaling, the ASR-7 is your ride. If you plan on skipping the shuttle to ride up, down, and all-around, you're going to want an SB-66 under you -- though we're not saying the ASR-7 can't do that too. Just that the ASR-7 would be our favorite on trails where a dedicated downhill bike is overkill and the SB-66 could be overwhelmed.
The Yeti AS-R 7 Frame with RP23 comes in Small, Medium, large, and X-Large.

Matthew 22:14
For many are called, but few are chosen.
(also, though I believe in pre-destination, I struggle to see how this verse deals here with irresistible grace)
Matthew 22:14
(also, though I believe in pre-destination, I struggle to see how this verse deals here with irresistible grace)
The general consensus from the commentaries I've seen on this, as well as the teachings of my Church, taking all of Matthew 22 in context is that the invitation for salvation is open to all, yet few actually choose to come to salvation.
How this fits in with irresistible grace, or pre-destination is not clear to me. Our denomination does not believe in irresistible grace. (We hold some Calvinist views, but not all). It's possible that the reason I'm only finding commentaries that support the idea of resistible grace is because my sources are biased, but the commentaries I've found seem to be united on this verse, with the possible exception of the Barnes' Notes on the Bible. (Second commentary quoted below).
Paul was chosen, his conversion was not his own free will. to this day, these types of conversions still happen.
Romans 8:30 explains those who are called.
the concept of predestination doesn't have much to do with your question.

Equally as loathsome when actor and malcontent Sean Penn criticizes America while praising the Arab Spring, Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg disparaging the US Constitution rivals treason. Ginsburg's ACLU convictions shadow her in old age. Conjoined in mindset with Barack Obama, both believe the Constitution is an outdated allegory, no longer sufficient as a guiding vehicle to the norms of contemporary society. Like a | Read More »

WASHINGTON (WUSA9) -- A new poll shows that 80 percent of Americans support raising the minimum wage to $10.10 per hour and want it to be a Congressional priority.
The poll was conducted on behalf of the National Employment Law Project. It also found that 75 percent of Americans think it's important for Congress to raise the minimum wage over the next year.
The minimum wage was last increased four years ago. Adjusted for inflation, the minimum wage today buys less than it did in 1956 and does not keep up with the cost of living.
Representatives George Miller and Donna Edwards announced the results of this poll on July 24 and called on Congress to pass the Fair Minimum Wage Act.
"The time has come for American workers to get a raise," said Rep. Miller, the senior Democrat on the House Education and the Workforce Committee. "The American people understand that a decent minimum wage is not a handout. It's about valuing work. It's about growing the economy from the bottom up by increasing working families' purchasing power."
"Introduced by Rep. Miller and Sen. Tom Harkin (D-Iowa) in March, the Fair Minimum Wage Act (H.R. 1010) will increase the minimum wage in three steps, from $7.25 to $10.10 per hour. The rate will then be indexed to inflation each year thereafter. In addition, the legislation will increase the required cash wage for tipped workers in annual 85 cent increases, from today's $2.13 per hour until the tip credit reaches 70 percent of the regular minimum wage, which was originally proposed by Rep. Edwards," officials said in a news release.
More than 30 million workers will get a raise under this bill.
President Obama has also addressed the importance of increasing the minimum wage.

ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. -- When Newt Gingrich speaks these days, it's almost certain you'll hear him mention three names: Mitt Romney, Barack Obama, and Saul Alinsky.
If you're wondering who Saul Alinsky is, you're not alone. He's not running for office. In fact, he's dead, and has been for almost 40 years.
Alinsky was was born in 1909 and died when Barack Obama was just 10 years old. Yet, Gingrich seizes every opportunity to link Alinsky to the President, including twice during Gingrich's visit to St. Petersburg on Tuesday.
"He represents a big government," Gingrich said of Obama. "A Saul Alinsky radical vision of an American future."
Then later, he asked listeners, "And you think Saul Alinsky knew America better than the founding fathers?"
Yet, if you ask people who Saul Alinsky was, he's hardly a household name. So, who was he?
Like Barack Obama, Alinsky was a community organizer in Chicago. His book "Rules for Radicals" is embraced by grassroots organizations for its methods, but not always its politics.
Alinsky was known for mobilizing poor people and minorities, getting them to the polls.
"I'm not sure why anyone would think that's bad, unless you're one of the people with power and don't want to give it up," said USF political professor Michael Gibbons.
Gibbons says by mentioning Alinsky's name over and over, Gingrich hopes, perhaps, to try and make Alinsky a buzzword. It was the same kind of thorn in Obama's side during the 2008 campaign when he was associated with ACORN and the Rev. Jeremiah Wright.
"I think that what Gingrich is counting on is that nobody knows who he is," said Gibbons.
But Alinksy's ideals resonate with people from across the political spectrum. The Occupy movement and even staunch conservatives within the Tea Party have embraced his organizing tactics.
In fact, anyone who feels their voice has no chance of being heard amid the power and influence of big money might relate to Alinsky.
Ironically, it's a populist concept Newt Gingrich himself embraced Tuesday even as he seemingly demonized Alinsky's name. "Governor Romney will have vastly more money than I will, but we'll have more people than he will. This is exactly what happened in South Carolina, and people power beats money power every time," he told an applauding crowd of supporters.
"That's almost a quote from Saul Alinsky," said Gibbons. "In fact, if he were to write that down and not put it in quotation marks and footnote it, he probably would be subject to issues of plagiarism."
Professor Gibbons says Gingrich may be taking a bit of a risk invoking Alinsky's name; there are plenty of people out there these days, he says, who just may agree with his political philosophy.

A wild pitch nearly cost a young boy his life when he was hit in the head and suffered a brain hemorrhage. His family is speaking out so others know what to do when kids suffer a traumatic head injury.
Eleven-year-old Lee Winstead of Nash County was struck in the head with a wild pitch at a little league baseball game just weeks ago. He was sitting outside the dugout watching some of his teammates warm up before his little league game when it happened.
Lee's mom Lori says his head didn't appear to be swelling and he told her he just wanted to sit and watch the game, but then Lee began to complain of a headache and said he wanted to go to sleep. At that point Lori decided to take him to the emergency room. It's a decision that doctors say saved his life.
After a CT scan doctors discovered Lee had a brain hemorrhage and had to undergo emergency surgery. Lori says, "They told us that they got there just in time."
Lee spent weeks in the hospital recovering with his parents by his side and his teammates and community behind him.
According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, cases like Lee's are on the rise across the country. That's partly because of an increase in participation of youth leagues.
Dr. Brock Niceler is a sports medicine doctor at ECU. He says head injuries and concussions are not uncommon during youth sports. That's why he says it's so important for parents, coaches, and even athletes to know the signs and symptoms of a concussion.
Doctor Niceler says anytime an athlete gets hit in the head there is always a concern for concussions. Some of the signs are headache, dizziness, fogginess, difficulty concentrating and sleeping and mood problems.
It's also important to act quickly, just like Lori did. Dr. Niceler says, "It's true that if you wait a couple of hours, that could be the difference between life and death if there is a hemorrhage going on."
Lee's parents say it's remarkable that after only a few weeks he's out of the hospital and recovering at home. Lori says, "We still have a long road to go, but we are going to get there with God's help."
Lee does have some vision issues and other limitations after the injury, but he's working with a physical therapist. He's now able to get back to some of the things he loves, like throwing the baseball and playing with his dog. He hopes this accident doesn't stop him from stepping onto that baseball diamond and playing again.

Written by Wake Forest Sports Information Dept.
GREENSBORO, N.C. - After his heroics on Saturday night against top-ranked North Carolina, Wake Forest sophomore Jalen Robinson has been named the Atlantic Coast Conference Player of the Week for the first time in his career.
Robinson, a Catonsville, Md. native, headed home his first goal of the season with just 57 seconds remaining in regulation to help the Demon Deacons earn a 1-1 tie. The goal came off of a corner kick from fellow sophomore Michael Gamble.

With the tie, Wake Forest stays atop the ACC standings in a tie with Maryland with a 3-0-1 record and 10 points.
Robinson is the first Demon Deacon this season to be named ACC Player of the Week.
Wake Forest will be in action again tonight at Charlotte at 7 p.m. at Transamerica Field.

The transducer consists of piezoceramic rings stacked between massive ends and pre-stressed by a central bolt. The tail and head mass lower the resonance frequency of the device.
In this model the frequency response of the transducer when the bolt is not pre-stressed is studied. The Acoustic-Piezoelectric Interaction, Frequency Domain Interface of the Acoustics Module is used for the study. This interface has all the predefined multiphysics couplings necessary to model this system (acoustic-structure and electric-structure).
The model determines the deformation and stresses in the device, the radiated pressure field and sound pressure level, as well as the spatial far-field sensitivity, the transmitting voltage response (TVR) curve of the transducer, and the directivity index (DI) of the sound beam.

I live in OKC but have never hunted Elk in OK. I know the just had a meeting last week with land owners in western OK about some getting out of normal ranges. The wildlife dept wanted the landowners to keep them advised if they see them!!
Has anyone seen or heard if they have started chasing cows in ok yet? Im not sure if anyone on here hunts in ok or lives here other than myself!
I live in OKC but have never hunted Elk in OK. I know the just had a meeting last week with land owners in western OK about some getting out of normal ranges. The wildlife dept wanted the landowners to keep them advised if they see them!!
Yeah, Ive been hunting them for 2 years now and we have lucked out and taken 2 bulls and a cow! I know people in that area that have seen very large herds cross the roads before!!! They can be such a prob to land owners that they get cow deprivation tags sometimes!!
wait a sec wut area are yal talking about i live 3 miles from the texas line in sweetwater,ok and they arent any elk here for sure, yal talkin bout the lawton area in the mts??
Yeah, dying to kill. They are north of lawton all the way over close to rosevelt, ok! I think there are 3 different main heards. the wichita mtn. wildlife refuge/ fort sill herd the granite hills herd and the slick hills herd. I personally hunt the slick hills herd. Its pretty tough because its all private land and is pretty hard to get on them most of the time! They are either on the property or not! If you see them on the property you can hunt you better get on them quick or they are off limits!!!
I used to (as in 2 weeks ago) work for the Kimbell family of Wichita Falls, Tx who owns the 20,000 acres next to the wildlife refuge where they kill nice bulls every year. Back in the 80's they killed a 360" bull with a bow on their ranch. They also killed a 175" and 200" whitetail in 2010.
Brady there are some monsters on that place!!! Ive watched them from the mountain that we hunt on! 2 years ago I saw a big 7x7 but he stayed out at about a mile!!! I hope this year they move in on the place I hunt! My freezer is getting empty! If you will pm me I have a couple of questions for ya! Thanks
I have a ranch in cimarron county. We have a few that come around ever year. Last year had a 330'sh bull and 280'sh bull wearing out my alafafa, Okla Dept of Wildlife is pretty good about CD permits but only give out Cow tags. Instead of CD permits I wish they would just open the county up with a season like some of the core counties that are open now. I've put in for the main state draw for WM and Still ever year.
I lived in waynoka for a little while texans42 and I heard stories of a guy that shot a bull and tried to check it in and got caught!!! It didnt turn out well for him!!! He said he thought it was a big deer! Not the brightest star in the sky!!lol

Book looks at little-known queen
Patricia Bracewell's debut historical novel, "Shadow on the Crown," is about Emma of Normandy, a teen sent in the early 11th Century to wed the king of England, a man she'd never met, and navigate the treacherous waters of love, lineage and Viking invasions.
Bracewell, who lives in Oakland, will be in San Diego Friday for a noon "Adventures by the Book" tea at Shakespeare's Corner Shoppe. She answered questions by phone.
Q: You've been fascinated by England for some time. How did that start?
A: I think it goes all the way back to those books that I read when I was a kid. I think the very first chapter book I was able to read by myself was "Black Beauty." Then I went on to "The Secret Garden," and although it would be years before I could visit England, I had this amazing desire to see Yorkshire, where that book was set. And one Christmas, I was given a picture book of Shakespeare's plays, so I was into those stories at a very early age.
Q: How many times have you visited England?
A: I would have to add them all up. The first time was in 1972, then in 1974, then in 1976, then in — well, let's say six that I can think of for sure. It may be more.
Q: Tell me about the first time you stumbled across Emma?
A: I was sitting at a computer and I came across one of those bulletin board things where different people post comments and someone posted a comment about this Queen Emma and that she was married to two English kings and her father was the Duke of Normandy and her brother was the Duke of Normandy and she was the mother of two English kings and there was this back and forth about her and I thought, "Who the hell is this?" I was astonished that I knew nothing about her.
Q: Why did you want to write about her?
A: It seemed so fascinating to me that she was deeply involved in six different reigns of kings of England. Four of them she was related to by blood; the other two, well, she had to escape England to get away from those two. But she always came back. There was another thing about Emma — she had a book written from her point of view when she was probably in her 50s. It was political PR from the 11th Century. That was pretty amazing, too.
Q: What kind of research did you do?
A: I didn't know much about the period at all when I started so I did a lot of reading. In 2007, I discovered there was a class being offered in Anglo-Saxon history at Cambridge. It was a two-week intensive class, and gosh, I always wanted to go to Cambridge. It was a summer course, and you went and lived on campus and you ate at the Great Hall. Of course it cost a ton of money. I said to my husband, "I don't know if I'm ever going to finish this book, if I'm ever going to sell it. Is it totally self-involved of me to spend this money and want to do this?" And he said, "Who cares? If you want to do it, do it." So I did.
He went with me and we traveled all over northern Normandy. We went to Rouen, which was the seat of the dukes, and we went to Fecamp, which is where I suspect Emma may have been born because it was their favorite estate. We traveled to Canterbury and Winchester and spent some time there. At one point in the book, Emma goes from Winchester to Exeter, and I had already worked out on a map where she would have gone and all the stops she would have made. We spent a whole day going to all those different places.

The first summer I lived in my house, my neighbour came over for a chat and said something along the lines of "your flowers need deadheading." I think I politely muttered "oh yes, it's on my to-do list" and later looked up what she meant on Google. Deadheading is a way to keep your flowers blooming longer by removing the old buds. It's also nicer aesthetically and helps keep your garden looking well-groomed. While I had my yard bags out yesterday (I was pulling monster weeds that sprouted up after all the rain we've had), I deadheaded some daisies and my yellow flowers (not sure of their proper name, but they're also daisy-ish), which will hopefully encourage some late-summer blooms. I do this to my black-eyed susans, as well, and they usually bloom until late fall.
For tips and techniques, check out Lorraine Flanigan's helpful article about how to deadhead.

A Hinds County judge says he'll rule by the end of the week whether a proposed constitutional amendment to prevent governments from taking property for anything but a public
project will go on the November ballot.
Circuit Judge Winston Kidd heard about 20 minutes of argument
Monday from attorneys for the Mississippi Farm Bureau and economic development leader Leland Speed. Speed says he is acting as a private citizen not as a public official.
Eminent domain is the process government uses to take private
land for projects ranging from road construction to industrial
The proposed constitutional amendment would prohibit state and local government from taking private land to give to another person or business.

Not as dark and gloomy as many of your maps... me like!
Very nice map ! You took the style of the last challenge you won if I do not make a mistake.
Did you used a brush to make the mountains on this map ?
And could you tell us how many hours of work are necessary to make it ?
Thanks for sharing again !
Thanks much!
@Whing : Yes, it was made after Erin's style No mountains brushes used on this map : the mountains were drawn directly on the map.
As for the time involved on it, you probably know that I'm living in a very particular place in France where time don't fly the same way than everywhere. Some co-guilders here know that it allows me to work pretty fast according to the real time elsewhere
Hey Max ! Give me your location so I can be there too.
I am French too and I never have enough time to make all my architectural plans...
Still can't rep you yet, but this map is great, love the border.
My Battlemaps Gallery http://www.cartographersguild.com/al...p?albumid=3407
Thanks Bogie, glad you like it
Hey - Max -!
I love the border on this one.
The best maps are the ones we like the most after looking at the longest.
Overall a nice composition. I have to be honest, though: i really don't like this forest stlye. It's similar to the one i saw on Sapiento's maps recently...it just does nothing for me...it looks too...flat and plopped down on the surface. A bit like - and i'm sorry for the comparison - green cow droppings
I'm trapped in Darkness,
Still I reach out for the Stars

Aid and comfort
War on Terror | Troops fighting in Iraq and Afghanistan need support, and several groups are helping Americans give it
"Aid and comfort" Continued...
To a squared-away Marine Corps officer, there's nothing worse than waste. But that's exactly what Albert Renteria saw while serving during Operation Desert Storm. His job then: "Moving beans and bullets," catchy shorthand for transport of the tons of provisions and materiel that flow from the states to the trenches during wartime. But the mammoth task left little manpower to transport cargo nearly as precious: thousands of care packages and letters of support addressed to "any soldier" from the American people.
During Desert Storm, Americans' generosity so overwhelmed the military logistical system-which employs no separate mechanism for shipping care packages-that Mr. Renteria estimates only 20 percent of donations made it to the troops. In 1990 and 1991, he watched in frustration as cartons of cookies, snacks, blankets, games, sundries, and letters scrawled by schoolchildren piled up, undelivered.
How many cartons? "Imagine a warehouse the size of a large airplane hangar filled to the rim," Mr. Renteria said.
In 2001, Mr. Renteria, by then retired, decided that the same thing wouldn't happen to troops fighting the war on terror. So he founded Operation Interdependence (OI), a "civilian-to-military delivery system" that collects, packs, and routes donated comfort items to overseas troops without diverting military logistical resources. Since its founding, OI has delivered to overseas troops more than half a million "C-Rats," or "civilian rations," small, practical packages that actually wind up in soldiers' hands instead of rotting in a warehouse.
OI (www.oidelivers.org) is one of many groups, from grassroots to government-aided, pouring out support for troops-and their families.
This year 154,000 soldiers, sailors, airmen, and marines will spend Christmas in Iraq and Afghanistan, many huddled in tanks, Bradleys, and charred urban ruins, some wondering whether anyone back home appreciates their service. Stateside, many military families, suddenly transformed into single-parent households, are struggling with money and daily living.
The Goycochea family of El Cajon, Calif., is among those trying to help. Allan Goycochea is a retired Army officer who was bayoneted in the back in Korea and gave up an eye in Vietnam. His wife Bonnell volunteers as an OI coordinator, helping to pick, sort, and pack donations of snacks, CDs, handheld games, toiletries, letters, cards, and other small items.
The Goycocheas, including two school-age children, together write 50 letters a month to troops via OI. The troops appreciate "something-anything-from home," Mrs. Goycochea said. "It really helps them to know that they're being thought of and remembered."
Other aid and service organizations, such as the American Red Cross, American Legion, VFW, Boy Scouts, Girl Scouts, and school and church groups, now funnel donations through OI's 11 national distribution centers.
The group is working to marry corporate cash and donations with the efforts of citizen volunteers, Mr. Renteria said. For example, the National Association of Convenience Stores (NACS) recently anted up enough snacks and sundries to reach 24,000 troops. The Payne Auto Group, a Texas firm, then agreed to donate to OI $30 per car it sold in October. That turned out to be $18,000, enough to pay to ship the NACS goods to Iraq after OI volunteers packed them into quart-size plastic zipper bags, 50 bags per carton.
To the practical-minded Mr. Renteria, even the zipper bags don't go to waste: "They help troops protect their most precious possessions, pictures of their family," he said.
It was family that spurred Nadine Gulit and Sheryl Sheaffer to launch Operation Support Our Troops (OSOT), a grassroots group in the Puget Sound area of Washington state. In January 2003, Mrs. Sheaffer's son Scott, a combat engineer serving with the Army's elite 10th Mountain Division, called her to complain. "All we're seeing at the bases and on the news is war protesters," Mr. Sheaffer said. "Where are you guys?"
So they organized their first pro-troop rally on a freeway overpass outside Camp Murray, Wash., in January 2003. OSOT's effort continued to grow. By November 2003, when the president activated the 81st Reserve-the largest reserve call-up since World War II-8,000 pro-military citizens showed up with bunting, banners, flags, and signs to rally with OSOT.
"It was spectacular," said Mrs. Gulit, 73, who in June received the President's Volunteer Service Award from USA Freedom Corps from President Bush.
In OSOT's neck of the woods, protesters have largely given up, but the grassroots group has forged ahead with numerous support-the-troops projects. Last month, the group finished sending 7,444 Christmas packages-2,500 more than last year-to "adopted" units in Iraq. Included in the packages: more than 9,000 hand-stitched, goody-filled Christmas stockings donated by people across the nation, who learned of OSOT through its website, www.operation-support-our-troops.org.
On the opposite coast, crowds of volunteers turn out regularly both to rally troops headed into harm's way and to welcome them home. Crowds of military veterans and just-plain-folks arrange to meet and greet every scheduled planeload of service members that touches down in Bangor, Maine.
"Someone is here for every flight no matter what time of day," greeter Al Dall, 74, told Edward Lee Pitts, a Chattanooga Free Press reporter embedded with Tennessee's 278th Regimental Combat Team. The 278th ran head-on into Bangor's patriotic hospitality as it shipped out to Iraq late last month. As the soldiers deplaned for their last stateside stop, about 40 locals met them on the concourse, cheering and clapping, holding aloft banners that called the troops heroes, Mr. Pitts reported.
"Y'all sure are friendly up here," said Staff Sgt. John Brown, 45, of Huntsville, Tenn., as he shook a greeter's hand. "This has about teared me up."
The volunteers passed out dozens of cell phones and invited soldiers to make a free last call home. Nearby, in a room stocked with free cookies and drinks, a banner on the wall proclaimed that 721 flights bearing 130,747 troops and two dogs had enjoyed Maine's hospitality on their way to Iraq or Afghanistan.
Maine also is among eight states that are teaming government with private donors to support the families of National Guard and reserve troops deployed to war zones. Maine, California, Delaware, Michigan, South Carolina, Rhode Island, and Wyoming have all passed legislation to launch versions of the "Military Family Relief Fund (MFRF)," a model originated in Illinois. Funding in Illinois was to come from private donors and optional check-in-the-box donations generated by state income tax returns.
"Then Iraq happened and the money was needed now," said Eric Schuller, senior policy advisor for Illinois Lt. Gov. Pat Quinn, whose office administers the family aid program (www.operationhomefront.org). More than half of the state's National Guard personnel and 40 percent of its military reserves are now serving on active duty. Many have suffered pay cuts as high as one-third.
Illinois lawmakers approved $5 million to fund one-time grants of between $500 and $3,000 to the families of deployed National Guardsmen and reservists. Since then, the fund has grown by $203,000 (from tax check-off donations) and another $150,000 in private donations. So far, Illinois has given out $2.4 million in grants from the fund to families like the Hortons of Aurora, Ill.
Joshua Horton, 28, an Aurora police officer and Marine Corps veteran, signed up for the reserves after 9/11. In June 2004 his unit was activated. Sgt. Horton could've applied to stay home: His wife Taunacy, already mother to two children, was pregnant with quintuplets.
But the Hortons decided Joshua should honor his commitment. In September, he shipped out to Iraq. On Oct. 7, while he was conducting a house-to-house search, a grenade exploded near Sgt. Horton, shattering an arm and a leg. On Oct. 11, while he lay in a hospital bed in Germany, Mrs. Horton, 27 weeks pregnant, gave birth to three girls and two boys.
Sgt. Horton is now home, recuperating from his injuries. One of the Horton quints, Addyson, a baby girl, passed away on Oct. 30. Throughout their ordeal, the community and the MFRF have rallied behind them. Last week, Mrs. Horton told WORLD that the grant of $500 they received "was the first help that was offered to us."
After reading about the Hortons in the newspaper, Eric Schuller called Mrs. Horton on behalf of Lt. Gov. Quinn. One of Mr. Schuller's first questions to this military family was one that, during wartime, should be universal: "How can we help you and what do you need?"

Acneic skin is very common and affects a range of age groups starting from the teenage years and going well into middle age. Managing blemish prone skin is a constant struggle between fighting current breakouts and preventing future problems. The DDF Acne Treatment line was developed with strong, proven effective ingredients that attack blemishes at their source. An effective program should include cleansing, killing bacteria, clearing the pores of clogging debris and controlling excess oil production. DDF Acne Treatment continually works on these issues so that you can achieve clarity and keep your skin looking good day after day.
DDF Acne Treatment is geared towards those with mild to moderate acne. It can help with persistent breakout but it can also be helpful for those who experience occasional troubles. If you are looking for clearer skin, make the commitment to a full skin care program that can work towards clarifying your complexion and allowing you to maintain that clarity so that you won't have to suffer from embarrassing blemishes. DDF Acne Treatment was developed by professionals and is proven effective at producing results.
In order to get the best results possible, pair DDF Acne Treatment with other clear skin promoting items from DDF. Start by a thorough cleansing with a product that is suitable for blemish prone skin. We recommend either the DDF Salicylic Wash Salicylic Acid 2% Treatment or the DDF Blemish Foaming Cleanser. Both of these cleansers reach deep within the pores to eliminate clogging debris and excess oils that can cause pimples.
Once your skin is free of impurities, it's time to apply the DDF Acne Control Treatment, a hydrating blemish fighting formula that contains salicylic acid in order to eliminate dead skin cells and other material that may plug the pore walls. This is a conditioning treatment as well as an acne treatment which means your skin achieves clarity while also enjoying a smooth and supple texture.
In order to aid with maintaining clarity, also be sure to check out the DDF Sulfur Therapeutic Mask which dramatically reduces the redness and inflammation associated with acneic skin. This can be used all over and rinsed off or as a spot treatment at night for swollen blemishes. The sulfur is naturally antiseptic and cools the skin as it also exfoliates for a smooth and refined complexion.
If you have trouble with excess oil, be sure to use the DDF Mattifying Oil Control UV Moisturizer SPF 15 for hours of shine free enjoyment with added sun protection. The sun can actually exacerbate acneic skin so be sure to protect it from possible damage and irritation. You'll appreciate this preventive measure as the years pass.
