Indeed, but then I have always thought his cock is about the most perfect I have seen; I had never noticed the little 'flaw'. Still, it's his cock!
Did he say why he did it? Was it uncomfortable or just for aesthetics? It's his body so he can do what he wants with it
How naughty can I be and still go to heaven?

Thank you to all of you who have joined the conversation in the previous post about the human rights nightmare in Russia & the Olympics - showing that even a former porn star can open up dialog about real world issues and the fans/viewers/friends will come forward with insightful comments to make. It's invigorating!

Triple Crossed Behind the Scenes
Triple Crossed, 2013
---> the directorial debut of Sean Paul Lockhart!
With a tour in Afghanistan behind him, war-addled Chris Jensen (Jack Brockett) struggles to assimilate back to life in California. Drifting and living out of his car, he soon discovers that few are willing to deal with the remnants of a damaged military career. Chris is self medicating; desperate to silence the echoes from the front lines. When an opportunity finally presents itself, he makes the hard decision to employ the coveted talents he has honed in special ops. A job is a job and Chris knows civilian life can be just as cut-throat as time in active duty. But just how close does he have to get to Andrew Warner (writer/director/star Sean Paul Lockhart) to secure the kill?
That boy is so fucking pretty.......
^^ I KNOW!!! He's not handsome... he's PRETTY!!!
I hpoe one day he get back again to porn so that will be best day in my life .

Children at Laughlin Memorial Chapel on Monday celebrated Martin Luther King Jr. Day with food, prayer and festivities.
The morning began with a breakfast and was followed with educational programming throughout the day. The Rev. Daniel Mason, Laughlin Memorial Chapel program director, offered a prayer before the morning meal.
"Help us believe in the dream of Martin Luther King," Mason said during prayer.

Taking part in Monday's Martin Luther King Jr. Day events at Laughlin Memorial Chapel in Wheeling are from left, Ezaria Kenebrew, Harmonie Mayfield, Shamya Mayfield, Jurnee Hawkins and Tajzhe Galberth.
Referencing the significance of the day, Mason said those at Laughlin Memorial Chapel "believe in equality and want to teach (the children) the history of Martin Luther King and what he was about."
KeAsia King, one of the children attending the day's events, reflected that "Martin Luther King made this day important for America."
Mason further emphasized that the day holds relevance for all people.
"It does not matter what race you are. Everyone knows struggles," Mason said.
After breakfast, the children participated in educational and interactive programming such as discussion groups and skits.
Following lunch, there was a special Harambee African dance illustrating unity and expression. Special guest speakers from local churches and a dramatization also contributed to the message of the day.
"We realize we still have struggles and problems, but we always know we have hope," Mason said.
He reinforced the goal of Laughlin Memorial Chapel as teaching children that they can indeed make a difference.
MLK day events continued at Wheeling Jesuit University where Ohio County school students who were local winners in the YWCA's annual Martin Luther King essay contest presented their written reflections, along with song and dance performances by area youth groups.
Meanwhile, at Bethany College, Underground Railroad Museum curator John Mattox addressed students, faculty and staff in the Agostino Room of Benedum Commons.
Leading up to Mattox's presentation, students will had the opportunity to honor King and his life's work.
At noon on Thursday, West Virginia Northern Community College will welcome Pittsburgh actor Gregory Gibson Kenney, who will portray King in his one-man show, "I Had a Dream: A Conversation with a Friend," in the B&O Building auditorium at the downtown Wheeling campus. A light lunch will be served.
The program is open to the public, and those planning to attend should inform Ida Williams, student activities program coordinator, by calling 304-214-8917 or emailing her at iwilliams@wvncc. edu by noon Wednesday.

The Mississippi Republican Party says it will have majorities in both the House and Senate, as well as the Public Service Commission and Transportation Commission, in 2012.
In a written statement, Arnie Hederman, party chairman, said, "Republicans made history in Mississippi yesterday, electing majorities in the House and Senate for the first time in 140 years. While some races have yet to be called and our majority could still grow by a few seats, the outstanding ballots cannot change the fact that Republicans will hold a majority of seats in the House and will have expanded its majority in the Senate."
The GOP says, in the House, Republicans Gene Alday, Randy Boyd, Chris Brown, Tommy Taylor, Carolyn Crawford, Doug McLeod, Timmy Ladner, Tracy Arnold, Nolan Mettetal, Steve Massengill, and Dennis DeBar have all received enough votes to ensure that outstanding ballots will not alter their victories.
It also said Republicans Charles Busby also led his race for the Mississippi House, with only affidavit ballots yet to be counted.
The party said, in the Senate, Republicans Phillip Gandy, Melanie Sojourner, Phillip Moran, and Rita Parks have all received enough votes to secure their victories.
Mississippi has not had a Republican majority in the House since Reconstruction.

Just a mention to check out my Wimbledon preview over at Outsports!
On the boy's side, I'm betting (not literally now) we'll see a special appearance by Pete Sampras on the final Sunday. And for the ladies, it seems TENNIS.com's Steve Tignor might be my evil tennis twin. Who wudda thunk it?

I would rather not see Pete Sampras, thank you. I'd rather keep my breakfast down.
I have an idea. How about if the Tennis Channel shows us four hours of Rafarehab every night instead of rehashing what happened on court? Shirtless, shortsless, lots of sweat, grunting and groaning. Me likey.

Great preview!ReplyDelete
However, I really like Murray's chances for the whole shabang. I imagine he'll be a tough customer should he make the final. He's ready to win a slam and the fact that the crowd will be on his side should not go overlooked. I mean, look what the crowd helped him accomplish last year.....should def be interesting. That being said, I miss Rafa terribly!! :*(
Loving that you sent Caroline to the semis as she's my fave. She WON last week in Eastbourne, btw! Not just a finalist. GO CARO! :)

Does this bother anyone else? It really bothers me...which is a good thing. Saying this team could have been 8-4 isnt an overstatement, but to me it is stretching things and trying for a moral victory. And thats what bothers me. We are finally good enought to make bowl games, knock off highly ranked teams, and compete against everyone. We have nothing to be ashamed of anymore. We dont have to look for moral victories or hoping we dont get blown out of games. We want to WIN every came we play now! And we had chances to win almost every game this season, but didn't. I don't want to have to say we could have or should have been 8-4, I want to BE 8-4. Please stop saying this Chris we are now better than needing moral victories. We need to take the next step as a program. And I believe we will. Until the just be happy with what we are and look forward to what we could be next year.
Shoulda beat KSU and WVU.
In 1984, I was hospitalized for approaching perfection.
Not bothered. I find Chris' analysis to be fair and not sunshine pumping. The purpose of his article was not to make you feel better about the season, but to add some perspective.
Man suffers only because he takes seriously what the gods made for fun.
― Alan Wilson Watts
We had two drives to take the lead late against KState and blew them both.
We had the lead with 6 mins left against WVU and blew it.
I agree with CW that this team could have easily been 8-4 with a couple more plays going our way.
With that said, we could also be 5-7 if Jake hadn't gotten that interception against Iowa.
Here's the link to the article that I wrote so that there's no confusion as to what I actually said. The title of this thread is a bit deceiving IMO.
Monday Musings: Nov. 26, 2012 Edition | News | Football | Cyclone Fanatic
Here's a thread that is already discussing that same link.
Twitter: @ChrisMWilliams
Facebook: Cyclone Fanatic
All that we can do is to go out and either beat Minnesota, Purdue or Vandy.
Let Prohm's Posse Ride: Hallice, Brady, Stu, Lard, Naz, Deonte, Monte, Matt, Simeon, Jordan, and Babb.
So, now it's a problem for CW to say that the defense was good enough for 8-4? Is he supposed to be more pessimistic? Are you blaming him for seeing and believing?
That thread I have sitting in wait is getting closer.................

Lacked the playmaker at QB vs. KSU (although it appears we addressed that issue). Same thing vs. WVU. Just don't have anybody like Tavon out there. We'll win that game when we do.
The loss Friday was devastating and left a pit in my stomach. We lacked a true quarterback all season, this is an issue we should not have all next season. When you play three quarterbacks, you dont win. We had a better defense than TTU and Oklahoma State, prior to injuries mounting, but they had better quarterbacks. That in itself won them games. We have a lot coming back for next season. We should start 3-0 again and hope we can improve from there, but the quarterback decision needs to be made right after spring ball, IMO.

We have play makers in the backfield.
Actually, we could have easily been 9-3. Tech, KSU and WVU games were all right there for us to win, and all on our home field. The inability of the offense to come up with key 4th quarter scoring drives was the difference between a very special season and an average one.
Take away the long run and Austin was held in check, we did better against him than almost everyone else on their schedule.

Yup offense, offense, offense. Thats what this league is about. You can hold people below 30 but can you score 30? Our defense will be middle of the pack next season, we just need to score more than 30 a game. I think Richardson is the man for this offense in the future but he will need to be able to adjust to the elements here in Iowa. I doubt he has ever played in the elements he did on Friday.
WVU is the only game I really feel is a "coulda/shoulda" game. Really had so many chances down the stretch. Tech and KState were just the better team that day. In KState's case clearly the better team on the year. With WVU it was really there for the taking and ISU would have had the better season if it goes in their win column.
One interesting thing is in the six wins, ISU was clearly the better team head to head, even against Baylor and TCU who won some big games this year. The Iowa game was probably ISU's worst game of the year (at least OK State and Texas have firepower) and they still won on the road.

Last Saturday, I had the privilege of speaking at Maryland Conservative Action Network's "Turning the Tides" conference in Annapolis, MD alongside three other young panelists – Brandon Cooper, Brian Meshkin, and Trae Lewis.
Our generation will be hardest hit by Obama's disastrous economic policies. Therefore, it's imperative that conservatives bolster their numbers with more young people. Conservatism, not a diluted version of it, will entice people to our side. Any attempts to abandon conservatism will lead to more elections lost and less voter turnout.
Those in attendance enjoyed hearing from us on the panel. Everyone gave wonderful speeches.
My speech beings at the 19:28 mark. Let me know what you think!
"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn't pass it to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free." – Ronald Reagan

The family that 'plays' together …
< Previous page 1 2 3 4
(Page 4 of 4)
"We love performing together," said Goggin. "We love the process from auditions to the final curtain call. I especially love watching Natalie performing on stage from backstage during the shows. I could watch her a million times singing and dancing to the same song and each time is just as special as the last. It is definitely a bonding experience because we are always there to support each other every step of the way."
For Virginia Conroy, 45, of Rockville Centre, and her daughters Caitlin Duffy, 11, and Gabby, 9, this is the first time they have performed together on stage (another daughter Gillian, 14, is currently in a play at Chaminade.) Mother and daughters all have extensive experience in their schools' theater departments. Conroy said that she found the IPTG after a discussion with colleague Eileen Goggin at work (Conroy is a criminal defense attorney in Nassau and Queens).
"We were both struggling, juggling very stressful jobs and motherhood," she said. "To be able to share this experience with my daughters, as well as with other parents and their children, is an unexpected pleasure … the experience of being able to perform on stage with my daughters is a blessing, and IPTG is the most special theater group for allowing a forum for parents and children to share in the same stage production."
Rico Socci summed up the experience of being in community theater as like riding a roller coaster.
"The ups, the downs … and then the disappointment when it's over — and then you want to do it all over again. It's fun, it's frustrating, it preys on your insecurities, but it's rewarding — and it's a like golf — you can participate for the rest of your life!"

The Island Park Theatre Group will present "Smokey Joe's Café" on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 9 and 10, at 8 p.m.; on Friday and Saturday, Nov. 16 and 17, at 8 p.m.; and on Sunday, Nov. 18, at noon.

text: Home Culture Smiley and West: Still Fighting for the Poor A new book by the duo tries to make poverty an issue for the 2012 election. By: Steven Gray Posted: April 25 2012 12:57 AM 0 Smiley Books; Cornel West and Tavis Smiley (Washington Post) If there's any doubt that the economic crisis persists, consider the takeaways from recent headlines: The official unemployment rate remains 8.2 percent. One in six Americans -- nearly 52 million people -- receives food stamps, even as Republican legislators in Washington and state capitals push austere cuts to social programs. In a Gallup survey released Monday, two-thirds of Americans say they know someone who has been laid off in the last six months -- the highest share in the venerable polling firm's history. But the biggest takeaway is this: The gap between the rich and poor in the United States is not only worsening; it's also greater than those in many other countries. Few people are connecting the dots. Enter The Rich and the Rest of Us: A Poverty Manifesto -- a richly insightful, slightly academic book released this month by talk-show host Tavis Smiley and professor Cornel West. The two men have been friends for 25 years. The current book project was born last summer during the duo's 18-city Poverty Tour, which extended from a Native American reservation in Minnesota to Appalachia and Washington, D.C. The tour came just as the Congressional Black Caucus launched a series of job fairs. Both efforts became flash points in an unsurprisingly fleeting national conversation about income inequality, and in particular how the economic crisis is afflicting African Americans. The new book not only documents the Smiley-West tour but also aims to restart a meaningful conversation about poverty, especially as the 2012 general election takes shape. "We're getting some traction," Smiley told The Root recently. Since last summer's tour, the authors have held a series of public conversations on the causes of poverty -- and potential solutions -- with leading figures in business and finance. They've identified "the new poor" -- people who, Smiley observes, "were once solidly middle class but who've lost their homes, lost their 401(k) and are just trying to hold on." The book notes that 1 percent of America's wealthiest people -- those earning $380,000 or more each year -- control 42 percent of the country's wealth. It challenges popular ideas about poverty that surfaced during the Republican presidential primary and are worth replaying here: Herman Cain: "Don't blame Wall Street, don't blame the big banks. If you don't have a job and you're not rich, blame yourself." Newt Gingrich: "Really poor children in really poor neighborhoods have no habits of working and have nobody around them who works, so they have no habit of showing up on Monday … They have no habit of staying all day, they have no habit of 'I do this, and you give me cash' unless it's illegal." Mitt Romney: "I'm not concerned with the very poor. The challenge right now -- we will hear from the Democratic Party the plight of the poor. And there's no question it's not good being poor, and we have a safety net to help those that are very poor. But [my] campaign is focused on middle-income Americans." The book looks broadly at the middle-class implosion. When asked what this moment means for the black middle class, West pointed to a 1957 work that documented a black middle class that was largely invisible to much of the country. Of course, the civil rights movement enabled African Americans to share the country's economic expansion. But as many of us know, our tenuous wealth has been diminished in the last decade. "The black middle class is disappearing," Smiley said. What are the effects? "You wind up with an oligarch society. You also end up with a social structure that looks like a diamond: mass poverty at the bottom. All this talk about American exceptionalism begins to disappear. "The black middle class played a crucial role in telling the truth about suffering -- from Frederick Douglass to Ida B. Wells to Martin Luther King Jr.," Smiley continued. "As that black middle class begins to disappear and find itself unable to sustain itself, then what was the leaven in the democratic loaf makes it stale."

Greensboro, NC -- Guanghui Lei, 45, is currently in Greensboro Jail Central without bond. Police found Lei's wife, Yan Wu, and his sister, Bi Fang Liu, shot dead in the married couple's home on Coronado Drive Thursday, April 18.
Sunday, Lei was extradited from Tennessee. Late Monday, Greensboro Police announced that in addition to the two murder charges, Lei now faces "Murder of an Unborn Child" charge. Investigators said in a news release that Lei's sister was in her second trimester of pregnancy when she was killed.
North Carolina is one of 37 states to recognize the humanity of unborn victims of violent crimes. Former Governor Bev. Perdue signed the bill into law in 2011.
Greensboro Police Chief Ken Miller said it is the first time the charge has been made by his department.
The women's bodies were found on Thursday, April 18 after Wu's co-workers at UNCG filed a missing person's report that same day. Police said Wu's colleagues were concerned when she didn't show up to work for several days.
Police in Germantown, TN alerted Greensboro Police Department they had Lei in custody on the same day.
Lei was previously charged with two counts of First Degree Murder.

Video: Women Killed In Ellicott City Train Derailment
Video: County Exec Talks About Ellicott City Train Derailment
Video: Traffic Diverted After Ellicott City Train Derailment
Video: Scene Video: Ellicott City Train Derailment
ELLICOTT CITY, Md. (WUSA) -- Officials say that two people killed just before midnight in a train derailment in Ellicott City were two 19 year old women. They have been identified as Elizabeth C. Nass and Rose Louise Mayr.
Twenty two minutes before the derailment Nass tweeted: "Drinking on top of the Ellicott City sign with 2r0se_petals"
Nass was a student at James Madison University in Harrisonburg, Va. and a member of Alpha Sigma Alpha. University of Delaware officials confirm Mayr would have been a junior this year. Her major was nursing.
Howard County police released additional details about the accident on Tuesday afternoon. The teenagers' bodies were found, already deceased, seated on the edge of a bridge over Main St. Investigators believe the girls were sitting facing east toward Baltimore County, their backs to the side of the train as it passed a few feet away behind them.
When the train derailed for unknown reasons, the open cars filled with coal tipped over, spilling coal on Nass and Mayr, burying their bodies. Their causes of death are unknown pending autopsies.
Police investigators say there are Twitter photos believed to have been posted by one of the girls just before incident. This information will be verified after the girls' cell phones have been processed.
Maryland Gov. Martin O'Malley released a statement on Tuesday afternoon, which read: "It is tragic that we've lost two young women in the train derailment early this morning in Ellicott City. I've spoken with County Executive Ulman, and the State will continue to support our first responders and local partners in Howard County."
The NTSB has officially taken over the investigation and officials say that they will spend all day and possibly the night investigating the incident.
NTSB's Jim Southworth confirmed that 21 cars of the 80-car CSX train were all loaded with coal when they derailed just before midnight. The 3,000-foot-long, 9,000-ton train had two locomotives and was going 25 miles per hour at the time of the derailment, said Southworth. The two CSX employees on the train were uninjured. CSX officials say the train was traveling from Grafton, W.Va. to Baltimore.
Howard County Executive Ken Ulman on Tuesday morning said train cars fell off a bridge, approximately 17 to 20 feet, onto Main Street below. According to Ulman, the two killed in the derailment were likely walking along the Main Street/Frederick Road bridge which runs over the Patapsco River under the CSX tracks. Southworth could not confirm that information during a news conference later Tuesday morning.
Southworth said on Tuesday morning that the investigation is going to take much more time and that officials will "turn over every stone." Officials and specialists are looking closely at the operation of the train and speeds before the derailment. Southworth also revealed that the train had a camera at the front but he was unable to download the video to view it yet.
Southworth took a moment at the beginning of his statement on Tuesday to express condolences to the families of Nass and Mayr. He also expressed appreciation to Howard County government officials and crews.
Heavy cranes are being used to remove rail cars off of automobiles parked in a lot next to the rail bridge. Southworth says clearing the parking lot has taken some time.
The cleanup process doesn't stop with the metal wreckage or the train. Piles of coal were scattered across the crash scene, Ulman said. The Department of the Environment is assessing the damage caused by the train's contents. Crews are working to shovel coal out of the street, in an effort to clear paths through the debris.
Main Street in Ellicott City is closed between the Howard County/Baltimore County line and Ellicott Mills as a result of the incident.
The Maryland State Highway Adminstration and Howard County Highways have placed multiple sign boards alerting motorists to use alternate routes such as Route 40.

BTS reports Freight TSI dips from September to October
December 12, 2013
The Department of Transportation's Bureau of Transportation Statistics (BTS) reported this week that its Freight Transportation Services Index (TSI) dropped 0.7 percent from September to October, snapping a three-month run of gains.
According to BTS officials, the Freight TSI measures the month-to-month changes in freight shipments in ton-miles, which are then combined into one index. The index measures the output of the for-hire freight transportation industry and consists of data from for-hire trucking, rail, inland waterways, pipelines and air freight.
The BTS said that the October Freight TSI at 114.3 is 20.5 percent higher than April 2009's low point of 94.8 during the recession. And it added that it is 0.7 percent September's 115.1, which is the all-time high for the index.
BTS said the October Freight TSI 0.7 percent decrease was due to declines in air freight, rail carloads and especially in trucking on the heels of three months of increases from July through September.
But even with the decrease, BTS noted that the Freight TSI has been above its 2012 range through the first ten months of 2012, with each month topping December 2012's high point of 112.2. And on an annual basis, the Freight TSI was up 5.3 percent.

|Mealtime Makeovers
Cleaning day craze
By Ashleigh Noyes
A couple weeks ago I was not in the mood to leave the house at all. You know the feeling, you are in a good cleaning groove and if you stop, you STOP! So when supper time rolled around I was scrounging through the cupboards to find anything that would make a meal. (If my husband reads this he will be rolling his eyes thinking we have a whole pantry overflowing with food). However, just because you have food doesn't mean that something will fit together to make a meal, does it? I know you ladies agree with me!

Hondo>03-09-11.Thread 600 "Tangled with charley"
It was on this forum he posted how he picks up boys hitchhiking.I told Pastor about that and he said that is not right.This is one of the many reason we mention Hondo in our daily prayer hour.
Have a marvelous day Slim and enjoy those funny yet sad posts from a 'Bloody Hypocrite".
Hondo>03-09-11.Thread 600 "Tangled with charley"
Im not sure how to do that Johnny.
Those neocon double voters did that to you.Just take a little sip of moonshine and a few very deep breathes and follow my instructions slowly.You can do it Slim.Don't let Hondo say you can't.
Jesus loves you.
Your new friend,
Hondo>03-09-11.Thread 600 "Tangled with charley"
He is not. He is on here simply to rag on me.
If you are not him, hopefully you will be smart enough to realize that I have him on ignore for a reason.
If I have him on ignore, the only way I can read his posts is if you quote him.
If you continue to quote him, I'll know that you want me to read his posts and that you have an agenda.
And then i will simply put you on ignore also.
Do you understand what I am saying to you?
Nobody but you and lww, who is actually him, responds to any of his posts. He's just a petty troll on here simply to libel me.
May God bless all of you.
133 replies to my thread on Fats banning on AZB.
The ode to Fats continues.
There isn't anything wrong with America that liberal ideology, properly applied by government experts, can't make worse.
The march of the scumbag right wing trolls continues. I'm sure you are all very proud of yourselves.
Unlike YOU, Sev, I don't derive my sense of self worth from the approval of nameless, faceless, morons on AZB or any other forum. Nor does my life revolve around the inane mind droppings of angry constipated old farts who post on a billiards forum but can't even run two balls and wouldn't know the tip of a cue from the ass end of a cue.
You and your "buds" are brave right wing "warriors" who hide behind anonymity and spout insults from the safety of your homes or workplaces but would not in a million years dare to say such things to my face for fear of losing every last tooth in your rotten mouths.
Yea, it's easy to act like a jerk as long as you have distance and are hidden, ain't that right there, boy?
This thread is just another example of the puerile and imbecilic behavior which defines you and your coterie of right wing turds.
FWIW, I am proud to have been banned from that sh*thole. I neither need, nor ask for your approval. You mean absolutely nothing to me. I could not possibly care any less what an insignificant little worm such as you, thinks about the matter. You are nothing but an angry adolescent piece of filth trapped in an adult body.
I will not respond to any more of your douchebag taunts in this thread...so go have at it and enjoy yourself wallowing in your stinking diarrhea.
Tell ya what, next time you are in NY just cross the river and come to 71st and Park Avenue, Guttenberg, NJ 07093-- and feel free to say anything you want, directly to my face.
Want my e-mail address? Just hit me up and I'll give it to you when you are in the area, along with my cell # so you can arrange for our little heart to heart talk. Don't be scared, just do it!
BTW: Here's a picture, just so you know who it is you want to talk to. Unlike you, I am not scared to show the world my face and I am not scared of any man, So come and get yourself some, wuzz! Prove what a real man you are! (Oh, and tell that piss-ant, Punter, that he is also welcome to come and get some too!):

Ondra Climbs Third 5.15c
Adam Ondra had climbed his third 5.15c, by making the first ascent of Vasil Vasil, at the Czech Republic crag of Sloup.
"It is definitely not a mega line ... it is painful, short and in a dirty place," commented Ondra on his 8a.nu scorecard. "But it was there, I bolted it five years ago and I couldn't leave it unclimbed."
Giving it a two stars on 8a, Ondra commented further that the route is basically a one move wonder. But the single move is at least V13 according to Ondra. And this move is right in the middle of a V14 boulder problem that is stacked on top of a "burly" 5.13d!
Of the send, Ondra wrote on 8a: "Very frustrating process of making no progression for long days, but when it finally happened, on a super cold sticky day, it felt like nothing."
Vasil Vasil is Ondra's third 5.15c, which coincidentally are all first ascents. His first route of the grade is Change, which he bolted in the Hanshelleren Cave of Flatanger, Norway and completed in 2012. Next, Ondra made the momentous ascent of La Dura Dura in Oliana, Spain, in February 2013.
Only one of Ondra's 5.15c routes has been repeated. In March 2013, Chris Sharma--who bolted La Dura Dura-- claimed the second ascent and confirmed the route's difficulty.

With exquisite care, National Book Critics Circle Award winner Louise Erdrich has fashioned a story rich in the way of life and heritage of the Ojibwa people, a story that begs to be told out loud. As each season in a year of Omakayas' life is lovingly portrayed, the satisfying rhythm of her days is shattered when a stranger visits the lodge one night, bringing with him an invisible enemy that will change things forever.
©1999 Louise Erdrich; (P)2002 Audio Bookshelf
"Littrell's soothing, finely tuned reading of The Birchbark House evokes the atmosphere of this thoughtful, rich story about the daily activities of an Ojibwa girl." (Booklist)
"Nicolle Littrell narrates with a gentle and quiet voice. Her presentation is light and immediate, giving the listener to bear witness to each event." (AudioFile)
"My children loved listening to this story with me"
Simple gentle. If you like Willa Cather, you'll probably like this. My children loved listening to this story. Good for a long midwest drive.
"A remarkable book"
I got this book for my granddaughter, but listened to it myself first. I became engrossed with the characters and story. Louise Erdrich brings to this story the same sense of place and depth of character that she brings to her books for adult readers. Enjoyable and worthwhile.
"For Children"
I love Erdrich's writing. This is clearly not for adults, but for chidlren. I didn't finish it. Got too explanatory and simple.
Chris, mom to Alex (born 2002). Audible account is for him, reviewing on his behalf. He's a fan of star wars, legos, cub scouts and now reading.
"4th grader - assigned reading for school. Not bad"
Maybe a girl, not a boy
This made the assignment a lot more bearable - the definitely improved the experience for am ADD, dyslexic 10 year old boy. But definitely not his cup of tea.
"Rather disappointing based on her other novels"
I have become quite impressed with the writing of Louise Erdrich, so when I saw this small older offering with no reviews I gave it a try. It is a young adult book, with a poor reader. The story is simple, not particularly well constructed and a bit jumpy as it does not follow emotional threads or action threads through for a "reader"s complete understanding. If you, like me, are an admirer of Ms Erdrich's novels, don't bother with this little, inexpensive offering. It bears no resemblance to her writing of the last decade, except it concentrates on Native American life.
"You NEED to read this."
It's authenticity.
Who survives the epidemic of 1848.
No, I wanted it to last and last!
Another Erdrich success!
"One of my favorite authors"
I do almost all of my reading audibly so I can read while gardening, driving, etc., so I really enjoy almost every book I listen to because most of the time the reader or readers are fantastic with their different voices and accents. This one was no exception.
I love all of Louise Erdrich's books, love her writing and storytelling - so quirky. And its always a glimpse into another culture. This one was great because I didn't realized until 3/4 of the way through how the beginning of the story would relate to the main character. A wonderful story about a special young girl discovering her identity.
A marvelous story in the style of the Little House books. Highly recommend for true book lovers.
"truely wonderful"
This book is totally awesome. It draws in you in and wans more. I recommed it to anyone wanting a true look at life as a young native girl. this is only part one of a series. The Game of Silience is next. The rest is not on audible yet.
"Did not finish"
Although I listen to children's books all the time I got so bored with this one I didn't finish it. The world of the Native American tribe seemed much less real than that of many fantasy writers for children. Although the construction was described I didn't get a good mental picture of the birchbark house, nor a feeling of identifying with the culture. The reader seemed to put all Ojibwa words into speechmarks, with little pauses, and the voice was a little too gentle, without engagement with story.No comparison to Laura Ingalls Wilder.

6JSC/CCC/6 Instruction for choosing the preferred title for choreographic works (RDA 18.104.22.168)
To enter your comments in this click on the [edit] link for the section where you want to comment. You must be logged in to comment.
Please include in your comments:
- Your name/liaison organization
- Month/day/year
Never copy and paste over the entire original wiki document.
General comments
I agree with this proposal. However, I am wondering if this instruction could be worded using the phrase appearing elsewhere in RDA: "in the language preferred by the agency preparing the data." I think it would make this instruction clearer. The Nutcracker may be better known as such in English speaking countries but elsewhere the title in a different language (the language of the agency) would be preferable. Also, I just want to point out that this will continue the actual practice of having the title of a choreographic work sometimes be different than the tile of the music composed for that work such as the Nutcracker for all ballet versions (even the original Russian version) but Shchelkunchik for the music by Tchaikovsky. Dominique Bourassa, CC:DA, Sept. 17, 2012
Constituency responses
ACOC: Text of response
Appear to agree (not stated outright).
It may also be desirable to apply this exception to other types of works which have become better known in another language and/or which have undergone extensive adaptation.
DNB: Text of response
Does not agree. According to 126.96.36.199 the preferred title for the work should be - for all resources - the title in the original language by which the work has become known. Authority files offer the possibility to add additional references.
BL: Text of response
Does not support. Concerned that this introduces an exception to the general principle of using the original language of the work. This kind of transitional issue is best addressed by an application profile rather than an exception

The death of Nash County Deputy Warren Lewis has sent ripples through the law enforcement community, especially with the office where he served for nearly a decade.
It took composure, but Sheriff Dick Jenkins found the words to describe his fallen comrade. "I talked to him several days ago and he was talking about the task force and he-I asked him are you still enjoying it-he said "I love it more than anything I could ever do."
Stark reflection on one of the last conversations Sheriff Jenkins would have with his fallen deputy of nine years. Lewis would join the U.S. Marshal Task Force and serve with them for four years. U.S. Marshal Scott Parker says, "Each day Warren set out to make sure that Nash County-and Eastern North Carolina was safe-safe for his family and safe for each one of us in this room."
Jenkins went on to say, "And if the young officers today-even the veterans like me would try to pattern themselves like Warren-we'd certainly be a better off world and community. He is the kind of man that you'd want your son to be."
Sheriff Jenkins added that Lewis' void is one that will never be filled in the law enforcement community.

This is an opinion column by WUSA9's Social Media Editor Simon Landau. Let him know your thoughts on Twitter @LandauDC.
WASHINGTON (WUSA) -- It was just after halftime Super Bowl Sunday that I was overcome with fear. In general I'm not a paranoid person and yet, still, I couldn't help but cycle through images in my mind, horrible images, that have been engrained in my memory, as well as our nation's memory, in the recent past.
I was sitting in the media workroom in the Superdome when all the televisions zapped out to black.
I, like every other person in the workroom, hustled out to the concourse to figure out what was going on, as I received a number of text messages from friends and family at home asking what had happened inside the stadium.
There were no answers supplied to media on the concourse and my knowledge of the situation was reduced to more text messages from people watching at home, getting updates from the CBS on-air team.
As time passed during the nearly 35-minute power outage, I couldn't get those horrible images and disturbing questions out of my head.
This was the Super Bowl and the stadium's power supply had been powered down. It was just too abnormal. It was just too weird. It was just too eerie.
My guess would be that others shared some of those thoughts at the Superdome on Sunday.
While my Internet connection back in the workroom was in and out, I did manage to log onto Twitter where I saw that "Bane" was trending, referring to the villain who takes over a football stadium with an army threatening a terrorist attack in The Dark Knight Rises.
I might have thought this was a funny joke years ago when our country didn't struggle with random acts of mass violence, but on Sunday I didn't find it funny at all.
I might have thought this was a funny joke before Adam Lanza, in true video game fashion, strutted into Sandy Hook elementary school and uncorked shot after shot on Connecticut youth, but on Sunday I found it creepy.
I might have thought this was a funny joke before James Holmes mimicked Batman's "The Joker" and took a dozen lives by firing on a movie theatre in Aurora, Colorado, but on Sunday I found it freaky.
This is the world we live in: A world where nothing can be taken for granted as being coincidental, a world where fear has come to the forefront.
Maybe I was paranoid on Sunday, but when the lights went out at America's biggest event, I couldn't help but think that we were in trouble.
We might never know what really happened during the third quarter of Super Bowl XLVII, but the fact of the matter is that I had those thoughts, and I'm pretty sure I wasn't the only one.
And that's the sad truth about our country today.

Brace yourselves peeps.
We've landed in Paris-Bercy, the final stop on the Marat Safin So Long Tour. *cries*
It's here, and we're here, to watch the final serves, groundies, and tantrums we've all come to know and love from our tortured Russian.
And, the SexGawd decided he wanted to thrill us (or torment us?) a little bit more by saving 3 match points in his 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 win over homeboy Thierry Ascione in the Paris Masters first round.
He spoke about his game afterwards saying,
The tennis I'm playing at the moment is not the best of my career. I always came here to win but this time, frankly, I don't think I can do that.That might come in the next round when faces a tough task in U.S. Open champ Juan Martin del Potro. But who knows?
I'll just try to finish on a high note and say goodbye to everybody.
In the meantime, enjoy it y'all. Soak it in.
UPDATE: Here's SexGawd speaking about the match and his next one against the Argentine. He looks relaxed and ready to be sent into retirement. Prepare thy racquet, Delpo.

Did you know that in a typical one inch rain event landing on a 1000 square feet of roof produces around 600 gallons of water? If you live in an area that has trouble maintaining enough water for your plants and outdoor watering needs to last through the dry season, you will want to add the Rain Water Harvest Round 1500 Gallon system to your landscaping theme. These large capacity systems are very easy to maintain and their durable construction will ensure that they will provide years of dependable service.
The tanks are manufactured using a commercial grade polyethylene with UV8 inhibitors that prevents mold and algae growth, which will keep your stored water fresh and beneficial until you need it. These special features also ensures that the storage tanks will not fade or deteriorate over a period of 5 years, allowing you years of service, virtually hassle-free. The rotational molding feature of this barrel produces virtually stress free construction of large or unusually shaped barrels. The walls are uniform thickness, giving dependable and reliable service for many years. With this rain harvest system, you divert water from your down spout with a special hose that has a leaf catcher included, keeping debris out of your tank. Then that water is stored in the 1500 gallon tank for use whenever you need it. When you need to access the water, a submersible pump inside the tank delivers all the water you need to the specially placed spigot. The spigot allows a standard garden hose to be attached and then your water is ready for whatever use you have. We have added a child safe lid to keep your small children safe and out of harm's way.
This round rain harvesting solution provides an attractive, efficient, economical, and unique way to capture and store rainwater. Your plants will benefit from naturally produced rainwater because rainwater is slightly acidic which helps plants access soil nutrients better. Improve the look of your landscaping around your home and in your garden while giving the local water source a break. This specially designed rainwater harvest system will give you water to keep your plants healthy, your garden lush and green, your pool full, and you can even wash your vehicles with this naturally soft free water.

APA Interview Dont's
1. At end of interview, we ask the always fateful "So... do you have any questions for us?" After a moment of paralysis, the candidate asks, "What is your University's policy on intimate relations between faculty and graduate students?" Awkward silence ensues. Then the candidate clarifies by saying, "Mutually consentual, of course."
2. In response to a run of the mill question about how demanding upper-level undergraduate classes in candidate's AOS (not philosophy of film, mind you) should be, the candidate says something like, "I'm really serious in my [upper-level philosophy] courses. At the lower levels, I just show a lot of movies."
3. In describing how he/she might teach an applied ethics course (listed as an AOC on candidate's CV), the candidate proceeds to list several famous papers by famous authors, but mentions no utilitarians. When asked why, the candidate says, "There really isn't any good work being done by utilitatians these days." I mention Peter Singer. The candidate replies, "Oh... is he a utilitarian?"
4. Candidate describes dissertation defending a familiar thesis in area X. Colleague raises the most obvious, shopworn, textbook, soft-ball, and famous objection to thesis. Nonplussed, candidate replies, "I think we're talking past each other here." Trying to be charitable, my colleague then says, "Well, what would you say is the most popular objection to your thesis?" Candidate replies, "There are no popular objections to my thesis." (The candidate took this to be a knock-out-of-the-park reply!)

Wait, (1) isn't true. Is it? Shit, is it? Can you give us clues as to who it is?
I think talking about "fat fucks" who eat too much meat while giving your teaching demonstration in a room with a couple of kids who clearly have body issues isn't a great idea. Also, aggressively asking a stupid kid in that class, "What the fuck are you talking about? What the fuck are you talking about!?!" when he asked a question isn't going to make it better.

(1) DON'T bring a camera crew.
(2) DON'T bring back-up singers.
(3) DON'T bring a snack for when things get boring.
(4) DON'T fart and then try to blame it on someone on the committee.

Was the candidate in scenario 1 making eyes at you during the interview? That would at least explain it.

Howzabout this one?
After an interview with a religiously affiliated college with required faith-statements, the interviewee bumps into one of the committee members at the smoker. Some friendly banter, and then he asks: "Well... how seriously does the administration take the faith-statements... I mean, do you really have to believe all that?" DING!

Regarding 4: how does this happen? Is this a tragedy of advising as well as sloppy dissertating?
- December 2, 2009 at 10:35 AM
Fashion Don't: Generally, avoid wearing a colored, logo-emblazoned t-shirt under a white dress shirt. (Exception: a Superman t-shirt may work in your favor.)
Pronunciation Don't: It's best to avoid pronouncing 'Kant' to rhyme with "can't" but never pronounce it to rhyme with "cunt".
Conversational Don't: Don't employ conversational gambits such as "There's this one South Park episode where…" or "That's like this scene from The Sopranos…"
P.S. My word verification is "untard".

Not exactly on topics, but worth a share - a few years back we had a candidate totally tank her job talk. We had put her up in a nice hotel, and discovered days after she left that the night before she went home (the evening after the afternoon on which she blew the talk) she billed all kinds of booze and pay-per-view to the room. Classy move.

In response to a faculty member's question about the place of God in philosophy, someone I know lost an otherwise wrapped-up position by giving the following answer worthy of being emblazoned on a T-shirt.
"God is lazy metaphysics"

That might be true, but if you know the person I'm thinking of (who, personally, I think is great and would have made a great colleague) you know as I do that next to no one but this person could possibly get away with that.

After learning that our school's primary function is undergraduate teaching (something a candidate should know entering the interview), I strongly advise against saying:
"Wow, so is it possible to teach at your school and not totally sell yourself out? I mean, I know someone who has a job like yours and he seems happy, but I don't know--are you really happy? I just don't see it."

How about these:
1) Do not wear clingy shirts, jeans, or short sleeved T-shirts.
2) Do not ask an SC from a SLAC about their engineering school.
3) Do not say, 'Yeah, I've heard of your college."
4) Do not, unless you really know where you are, ever use the F-word or other vulgarisms - especially when speaking to students.
5) Do not talk about how great you are and how you could 'blow out of the water' anyone who disagreed with you.

I don't know how well this will go down in the US, but at a recent interview, when asked what my views on teaching undergrads was, I replied, "Well, corrupting the minds of the youth is the mission statement of philosophy!"
I got the job.
- December 4, 2009 at 7:39 AM
A few don'ts pulled off by my friend (who is not in philosophy) during his on-campus:
1. Each time he was outside (e.g., walking from building to building, to/from restaurant, to/from hotel, etc.) accompanied by faculty members with whom he was interviewing, he smoked. The faculty never joined him.
2. During a one-on-one interview with a female faculty member, he told an unbelievably vulgar joke about Southerners, incest, and anal sex.
He got the job. And it's a good school.
- December 4, 2009 at 8:27 AM
John Wilkins: congratulations.
Your story reminds me of the following quotation from Alasdair MacIntyre (in Key Philosophers in Conversation, A. Pyle, ed., 83):
"...at least one philosophy course, and, more adequately two, should be required of every undergraduate. Of course an education of this kind would require a major shift in our resources and priorities, and, if successful, it would produce in our students habits of mind which would unfit them for the contemporary world. But to unfit our students for the contemporary world ought in any case to be one of our educational aims."

I blew an interview for a scholarship once by making fun of the first question I was asked. The question was: Do you think the reason why Germans have had problems with living in a democracy right after the 3rd Reich is that Hegel's political philosophy does not focus on individual subjects as political agents? (Or something very close, I can't remember the exact formulation). My response was something along the lines of: Unless the people in the 50s read way more Hegel than anyone ever at any other time, I cannot imagine how that could possibly be the reason why Germans had trouble with democracy. And then I gave it a good laugh. Correct answer: "That is a very interesting question. Can you tell me more about the connection you have in mind there?"
- December 4, 2009 at 11:27 AM
I'm a bit puzzled about the remark concering how not to pronounce 'Kant', since in my experience Germans pronounce it very close to how English speakers pronounce "cunt" (and, in particular, much closer to that than to 'cant' or 'cahnt').
- December 4, 2009 at 11:28 AM
Funny thread. At least twice when I thought I blew the interview I got an offer. Once I walked out of the interview room thinking it went great and then looked down and noticed that not only was my fly unzipped but it was gaping as wide open as possible... No way it wasn't totally obvious to everyone! Perhaps they assumed I was just too smart adequately to manage such details, as they invited me to the campus, where I then got busted leaving a giant dump in the toilet of their little bathroom -- really nervous, I forgot to flush, which I didn't notice until the chair of the search committee passed me at the bathroom door... They made me the offer the next day...

German is my native language, and I am certainly not going to mispronounce Kant's name as "cahnt", just because some weird member of an interview committee feels like pronouncing his name right is vulgar.

I interviewed 17 years ago at the APA. Near the end of the conference, I ran into a graduate student representative on one of the committees. He told me (probably inappropriately) that I was one of the candidates that was still under consideration at his school. He then said that a couple of the candidates had 'flamed out'. I asked him what he meant by 'flamed out'. He said, that one candidate, for example, had responded to an objection by saying 'shut up and listen to me when I'm talking'.

Same question, only with "clergy" and "non-clergy" substituted for male and female, that I wish I had asked at an interview a couple years back. Kind of glad I wasn't asked to join that department.

Getting drunk at a reception at your campus visit, and then comparing eating veal to cheating on your partner, on the grounds that "we know it's wrong, but we all do it", is probably a bad idea. It's a bad idea not so much because your possible future colleagues might disapprove of cheating, or of eating veal, but because they might approve of practical wisdom.

Somewhat disturbing are the comments concerning fashion. I can understand not looking like crap, or wearing something overtly offensive (keep the Inspiral Carpets 'Cool as Fuck' t-shirt in the closet for interviews), but beyond that, who cares?
A red t under a white shirt? Yeah--so what? David Chalmers looks like shit every time I see him. But he's talented as hell. Hawthorne looks like a homeless man. Same deal. Dare I say, don't let looks get in the way. Unless of course that's what your department is all about, in which case don't let philosophy get in the way.

About the pronunciation of a well-known German philosopher's surname... Some years back, my then university in Australia had a very good German graduate student.

Regarding dress code, it seems perfectly obvious why one should dress up for an interview--the clothes you wear send a message about how you see yourself. If you are well-established in the field, I'd imagine the committee might not care. If you're still a relative nobody, dressing very casually can come across as a lack of respect for the committee, an inability to be professional, etc. It's about much more than being "fashionable," unfortunately.

Oh, man. That was probably me. I remember being so overwhelmed and anxious that it took all of my energy to stay in that room, sitting in one spot, instead of completely losing my lunch (if my stomach had been settled enough those few days of the APA to have any lunch or any meal whatsoever). Every time I stood up, I thought I was going to hurl. So I sat tight, hung out with people I felt comfortable with, plastered a big old grin on my face like I was having the time of my life, and tried to muster up the courage to talk to you. I saw you and waved because I wanted to be friendly. I wanted to come over. But I was nervous as hell and looking for a sign that you *wanted* me to come over. Sorry. I'm an idiot. I was intimidated. And I'm not very good at these things. But I swear I'm a good philosopher--hard working, genuinely curious, non-combative yet rigorous. I admit I'm slightly socially awkward (that's part of what I like about philosophy--such awkwardness doesn't *usually* matter). But I swear I love philosophy, and I really really wanted to be your colleague. I just fail at working the tables at the smoker. I wish such a failing didn't mean the difference between a job and not a job. But obviously it does. Sorry again.

Exactly. If you are as well-respected as David Chalmers, we probably will not care how how you dress. But as long as you are not, your appearance does matter.
You can be pissed about it, sure. But it is a fact of life. Think of it this way: after the exhausted SC has interviewed X number of folks and are trying to put faces to names, you do NOT want to be recalled as 'the person wearing that weird ... top-thing' anymore than you want to be remembered as 'that really arrogant one.'

|Firemen participate in training; host annual ball
|Written by Chris Lee
With summer around the corner and hotter temperatures on the way, members of the Holyoke Volunteer Fire Department prepare for their Annual Firemen's Ball at 9 p.m. this Saturday, June 13 at the Holyoke Vets Club.
"Big Ronnie and the Circuit Breakers" will be the live band providing the evening's entertainment.
The Firemen's Ball is the main source of income throughout the year for the department. Money raised is used for training, education, special activities and the administrative cost of the department.
During the 2008 year, the Holyoke Volunteer Fire Department responded to 38 fire alarms with an average of 10 firemen answering each call. The breakdown of calls were 20 rural fires and 18 city fires.
Of those, nine were motor vehicle accidents, three were false alarms, two mutual assistance calls, six gas leaks, two unreported controlled burns, three structure fires, two grass/stubble fires, six nursing home calls and one car fire.
Department members logged a total of 292.1 hours on fire calls, 802 hours of training and a total of 1,607.8 service hours.
One of the big activities came in March of this year when 26 area firemen participated in the Firefighter 1 Training Academy held in Holyoke.
Firemen from Holyoke, Haxtun and Amherst met every other weekend as well as on two Wednesdays for training at the Lions Den. All together 1,773 training hours were logged by the 26 participants, according to firefighter Bob Heldenbrand.
Seventeen of the firemen completed the testing. Of those, 10 were from Holyoke, four from Haxtun and three from Amherst.
The academy was hosted by the Holyoke Rural Fire Protection District and the Holyoke Volunteer Fire Department. Grant money from the Assistance to Firefigher Grant was used to make the event possible. Instructors, testing fees, books and meals were just a few things the money helped with.
The department also applied for a new compressor and fill station to help fill their SCBA's or Self Contained Breathing Apparatus with the grant.
The training part was funneled through the Colorado State Firefighters Association outreach training program. The instructors of the program were sponsored by Dot Mechtenburg, a financial company, according to Heldenbrand.
"Firefighter 1 is a nationally recognized training standard," Heldenbrand said. "It's not a requirement in Colorado but the Colorado division of fire has a voluntary program."
Training was split between classroom work and hands on exercises. A live burn took place at the Sterling Fire Department training center.
Topics from basic safety and health were discussed towards the beginning of the program all the way through ropes, personal protective equipment, fire extinguishers, pre-hospital care, ground ladders, ventilation, fire hoses, running the pumps, communications, detectors, alarms, suppression systems, vehicle extrication, scene evidence and hazardous materials.
Heldenbrand said there was a wide variety of experience throughout the firemen participating in the training.
"We had guys in the class that were within their first six months of being on the department and we had guys that had been on 18 years," Heldenbrand said. "It wasn't just for a rookie."
The lead instructor for the training was Chris Probst, Outreach Training Coordinator from the Colorado State Firefighter Association. Dave Krueger from the Sterling Fire Department also helped as an instructor. Terry Andersen of Holyoke helped with the EMT training and pre-hospital care class. Chris Cross from the Fort Lupton Fire Department served as an instructor. Heldenbrand led the communications class.
Training with other agencies was another positive that came out of the program, Heldenbrand said.
"When you are called to a mutual aid, it's always good to see a friendly face, somebody you know," he added.
"We had some guys only show up for two hours and that's probably some of the best education they'll have for the rest of the year," Heldenbrand said. "We all know we walked away from it with a good education."

Cyclone Men Finish Third At NCAA Midwest Regional
AMES, Iowa – The No. 24 Iowa State men's cross country team finished third at the NCAA Midwest Regional this afternoon behind a fourth-place individual finish by Cyclone senior Mohamed Hrezi. The third-place finish marks the highest men's regional finish by the since 2009.
Hrezi finshed the 10-kilometer race in 30 minutes and 33 seconds. Martin Coolidge (14th) and Alexander Dillenbeck (25th) also ran to top-25 finishes, crossing the finish line in 30:46.9 and 31:04.9, respectively. Hrezi, Coolidge and Dillenbeck each earned All-Region honors for their performances.
Edward Kemboi and Tyler Jermann rounded out the Cyclone scoring effort, placing 33rd and 37th.
The Cyclones ran as a pack for the majority of the race, as they have done all season. The men used a great final three kilometers to pass several teams and lift themselves into the top-three.
Iowa State director of track and field and cross country Martin Smith was very pleased with the team's performance throughout the race.
"The regional races are very tactical, and I thought our guys did a great job, especially for our first 10-kilometer race of the season," Smith said. "I was most pleased with our team's mental toughness and physical determination."
The Cyclones ran a 43-second spread across scoring runners in today's race. It was the sixth-tightest spread in the 28-team field.
"Our guys knew that we needed to finish in the top-three to be considered for nationals," Smith said. "They went out there, raced hard to finish in that position."
The top two teams from each region qualify for next Saturday's NCAA Championships in Terra Haute, Ind. The men wait to find out if they receive an at-large big to the championships. The top-four individuals not on an automatic-qualifying team also qualify to run a the NCAA Championships.
Team Results

Software Engineering Innovation Foundation
November 25–26, 2013 | Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
- Home
- Agenda
- Paper Submission
Rio de Janeiro, BrazilThe Software Engineering Innovation Foundation (SEIF) supports academic research in software engineering technologies, tools, practices, and teaching methods. Software engineering has evolved to include design, testing, verification, and programming languages, but also underlies systems and networking, security, and privacy, devices and services, as well as natural user interface (NUI)—areas in which some of the most exciting and innovative work is being done. With the advent of new tablet devices and ever more powerful phones, the possibilities for applications of software engineering have increased considerably. Now that storage and computation in the cloud has become a reality, taking advantage of this resource in new software raises interesting challenges.
The SEIF Brazil 2013 workshop will bring together researchers in Brazil with those from Microsoft and previous SEIF awardees. The workshop's goals are to foster a community of researchers and academics in Brazil who are interested in these topics, and to advance the state of software engineering in Brazil. We will also discuss proposal guidelines for the SEIF 2014 call, starting in October 2013.

May 25, 2016
By: Mike Springer
February 13, 2013
Tallahassee, FL-A local group working with injured veterans received a big donation this week.
Warriors and Quiet Waters, a non-profit, received a $10,000 seed grant for its parent chapter to help pay for expenses.
The group is hoping to raise an additional $10,000 through fundraisers and donations.
The non-profit group takes veterans who've fought in either in Iraq or Afghanistan out fishing for a week of rest and relaxation.
The group says it hopes to take about 4 to 6 veterans out to Wakulla Springs and St. Marks within the new few months.
The group is hosting gulf and bass tournaments in April to help pay for the trip.
"It costs about $5,000 per soldier, per week to bring them here. And these guys deserve it, especially with the budget cuts we're looking at Federally. We have to give back to these guys," said Anthony Stevens, president of Veterans and Quiet Waters' southern chapter.
Warriors and Quiet Waters opened its southern chapter in Tallahassee in September

EXCEL Baccalaureate
Ministry Studies: Children's Ministry
The Children's Ministry major uniquely prepares the student to work with children. This is a collaborative program offered through Calvary Bible College and Child Evangelism Fellowship. Students who have graduated from Child Evangelism Fellowship's Children's Ministries Institute will be able to transfer virtually all of their credits from the Institute to Calvary and use them toward meeting the requirements of this major. Students starting the program on the Calvary campus will take some classes at the Children's Ministries Institute in Warrenton, MO. Calvary has an articulation agreement with the Children's Ministries Institute and cooperates closely with them.
2014-2016 Course of Study »
Courses of study may be adjusted during a student's time at Calvary. Students should consult with their advisor and/or the Registrar before finalizing a schedule each semester.
