Confirmation Program Information
enewin these your servants the covenant you made with them at their Baptism.
-The Book of Common Prayer, page 418
Our Confirmation program prepares interested 7th and 8th grade students for the rite of Confirmation, a liturgy in which baptized Christians affirm their faith and make a mature, public commitment to a life in Christ. Each spring, candidates for Confirmation come before the bishop to renew the promises that parents and godparents made on their behalf at their baptism. The bishop lays hands on the head of each confirmand in turn, praying to God for the Holy Spirit to empower and sustain them.
OverviewThe goal of our Confirmation program is to deepen the faith of our 7th and 8th grade youth and to be present with them as they progress on their journey toward spiritual maturity. Our program is grounded in teaching the basic tenets of the Christian faith and the Episcopal tradition, but we also want it to be a safe place for youth to raise their questions and doubts, to struggle and wrestle as they engage their faith and its meaning in their lives. Our classes and events provide for lively discussion, experience of different ministries, and opportunities to form relationships with each other and the church in Christian fellowship.
Class Dates
This year, our confirmation program will run from late September through April or May (depending on the date we are given for Confirmation by the Diocese). Our program kicks-off on Sunday, September 27 during the 9:15 am worship service, and we will hold a brief introductory meeting for students and parents immediately following that service. In general, classes will meet for an hour and a half on Sunday afternoons twice a month from 2:00-3:30 p.m. and will be taught by Interim Youth Minister Chris Edwards and our new Curate, the Rev'd Andrew Moore.

Program CurriculumThis year, we will be using the "Confirm Not Conform" curriculum published by Forward Movement. This is an excellent program focused on engaging students to examine and test their faith in a safe atmosphere where questions and doubt are not only OK, they are encouraged. Additionally, the course will cover some basic elements of our common life in the church: the sacraments (with a special focus on Baptism and the Eucharist), the Bible, The Book of Common Prayer and the Anglican/Episcopal tradition, as well as an emphasis on Christian life in the Body of Christ both within the church and in the world. Students are also required to complete a certain number of service hours within Christ Church Greenwich ministries and in service of the broader community.
The cost for the 2015-2016 Confirmation program year is $100 per student and can be paid online after submitting registration or billed at a later date.

"I was concerned about possible quality of sticker So ordered the minimum. Will definitely be ordering more. I deviated from recommended font and chose one that's a tad small but overall a very pretty and soft looking design!"

In 2005, the NIH implemented the multiple Program Director/Principal Investigator (multiple PD/PI) mechanism as an opportunity for multidisciplinary efforts and collaboration through a team of scientists under a single grant award. All PD/PIs share equally the authority and responsibility for leading and directing the project, intellectually and logistically. Each PD/PI is responsible and accountable to the applicant organization, or as appropriate, to a collaborating organization, for the proper conduct of the project or program, including the submission of all required reports.
Applications that involve more than one PI must include a Leadership Plan that describes the roles, responsibilities, and working relationship of the identified PIs. The Leadership Plan should include the following:
The NIH provides this example of a Leadership Plan.
At UTHealth, Leadership Plans must be reviewed prior to the agency deadline by the Executive Vice President for Academic & Research Affairs (EVPARA). The EVPARA has created a Multi PI Leadership Plan Template with model language to expedite the review of a Leadership Plan. If the department is using the template with no modifications to sections (9)-(11), include the Leadership Plan an the Signature Page as part of the A&F review packet. Obtain all applicable signatures on the Signature Page prior to routing it to your grants specialist.
If the department or PI wishes to make any modifications to sections (9)-(11) of the template or choose not to use the template, the Leadership Plan will need to be approved by the EVPARA (and, for Medical School departments, the Dean's Office). The modified Leadership Plan and the Signature Page should be routed for review and approval through these offices. The approved Leadership Plan and the Signature Page should be included in the A&F review packet and sent to Pre-award.

"Beautiful Samoa" Apia by Kaikoura
Apia Travel Guide: 20 reviews and 36 photos
Well, Samoa is not in my list of countries to visit. But this year after returning from Perth I was coerced (just kidding) to go to Samoa. The short flight from Auckland was one good reason and having a chance to enjoy one day twice was a bonus! Yes, I got to enjoy the 1st of May twice this year!
I thought I was going to be bored in the little island but I ended up wishing I could stay longer. The port of entry at Faleolo International, just half an hour by cab from Upolu center, is quaint and reminded me of villages in my island country. We had no bookings as we were not sure if or when we can make it there. In the island they charge you if you cancel your booking anytime within the last 15 - 30 days prior to your arrival. I didn't want to risk losing money.
We got there and the cab driver was quite kind, he literally stopped door to door until we found a place to stay. Not so lucky me...all the places I would have preferred to stay at were all booked out. Luckily there was a place for us at Princess Tui. I am not hard to please and I know how to rough it. But roughing it and unclean are two things world apart! If you haven't backpacked before or stayed in dorms I suggest don't dare do it. I had to ask for another room and luckily one of the cottages was free. It was a little bit better but will not go there again.
The only good thing about having stayed there was meeting our Tour Guide Pete. Spent 2 nights in Upolu. Not much to see here except a bit of native products and their 24/7 fresh produce market which I really enjoyed. Great food at Aggie Greys but we also enjoyed dinner at the Paddles...food was good and prices reasonable although I was shocked at the prices of wine (but it does not worry me as I don't drink:-)) The only other reason I stayed there was to try and find a friend from my church who moved to Upolu from AKL a year ago.
The rest of our stay was spent in Lalomanu...and it was one of the few restful holidays I ever had...
It was the first time I found out about German's presence in Samoa. Now I understand why a lot of the Samoans have German surnames. Peter, our guide is one of them. He took my buddy on a historical tour...German history of course...and he managed to find my friend an old book about German history in Samoa. I thought it must have been hard for the Germans to adjust with the culture in Samoa...unstructured...island time. Anyway, it was nice to learn a little bit more about Samoa.
Peter looked after our trip to Lalomanu. We payed WST100 each for him to drop us off and pick us up and stopped at places along the way. I would be more than happy to recommend him. He was a former commercial pilot...
Contact Details: Peter Paul +6857774857
Lalomanu Beach is about 2 -3 hours from Apia. We did not take the buses that ply the route between Lalomanu and Apia but I was told it is about WST5.00 and the buses are old but colorful. Riding on them I suppose would be an adventure, they looked rather slow for me. The main bus stand is by the waterfront just across the dry goods market.
They have very late breakfasts ...brunch rather..between 0900 - 1100 This is true at Taufua Fales, although we found Litia Sini's have theirs a bit earlier.
At Taufua the rate was WST80 per pax inclusive of breakfast and dinner.
Again these two are different in the way they serve food. Litia's is served buffet style... Taufua is served more like a potluck...except they cook the food for you of course. To some extroverts...this will suit them well... but those like me who look at holidays as having a break...and I mean break including that from crowd/s which I have to deal with everyday at home/work, will probably prefer Litia Sini's. People tend to mingle together yet you have an option to sit outside in open space on your own.
- Pros:Cheap holiday, great beaches, lovely people, good food and taxi was very cheap too!
- Cons:There is not a lot of entertainment if that is what you are after...
- In a nutshell:Going to Samoa is like going home to the countryside...you return to the city rested, refreshed with a bit of natural tan!

Not a nice experience but hopefully they clean the 'loos' a few times during the day..most backpacking places do so.

Faster trains about to start running in state
WHITE RIVER JUNCTION — Faster trains are about to start running along the Connecticut River, south of White River Junction, following an upgrade.
Starting Monday, trains traveling south of the community to the Massachusetts border will be running as fast as 79 mph, about 20 miles faster than the current speed limit.
Officials warn that drivers and pedestrians will have less time to react to oncoming trains at railroad crossing with the increase in speed in southern Vermont.
Windsor Police Chief Stephen Soares said there are at least three crossings in Windsor with lights to warn of upcoming trains, but he guessed that there are numerous private crossings that don't have any warning signals.
"My personal observations of trains traveling through Windsor have actually caused me some concerns, but nothing like the heightened state of concern I would have if a train came anywhere near Windsor at 79 mph," he said.
The speed limit for Amtrak's "Vermonter" traveling between White River Junction and St. Albans, which is just north of Burlington, also will increase, from 55 mph to 59 mph.
The speed increase was made possible by improvements to 220 miles of New England Central Railroad track funded in 2010 by a $50 million federal stimulus grant. Rail beds, bridges and tracks were upgraded for passenger and freight trains.
Upgrades were made at 46 rail crossings on public roadways but many non-gated crossing are on private roads, said Trini Brassard, an assistant director for the Vermont Agency of Transportation. VTrans had to add lights and gates to every public crossing south of White River Junction.MORE IN This Just InWESTMINSTER Vermont State Police say a passenger has died in an off-road vehicle crash in...

As the semester rolls on and tests pile up many students begin changing their daily routine to one that is more study-friendly and, unfortunately, usually more deskbound.
What most students do not realize is that while your dog lies next to you on the couch day after day, it is being robbed of physical activity that is vital to their health.
Multiple studies have shown that dogs that exercise have improved bone health and organ and lung function.
It makes them look better, feel better, and they are less nervous when left alone.
"Exercise is good for maintaining general health, and it helps keep your heart, muscles, and joints strong. It also helps with maintaining weight and their coordination," said Dr. Jacqueline Davidson, clinical track professor at Texas A&M University College of Veterinary Medicine & Biomedical Sciences.
Studies also show that dogs lacking exercise usually have poor muscle tone and are more prone to injury, brain ailments, and bone disorders.
They are also more susceptible to developing emotional problems and behavior quirks.
"Dogs that don't exercise are usually overweight, have less dexterity, and their heart and joints aren't as vigorous," Davidson said.
SANTA FE – How do you ever find time to research all your columns? It's the most frequently asked question I receive about my journalistic endeavor.
If my wife is around, she usually jokes that I just make it up, but that's not true.
I have plenty of readers who call me on any incorrect information. Over 40 years of working in various capacities at the Capitol, plus another 20 years of being aware of what was going on in Santa Fe give me a deep background from which to draw.
But a guy can't remember everything. So when I need to check a fact, I have a handy little book within reach that tells me nearly everything I need to know about our state.
It is called the New Mexico Blue Book, a treasury of information about state and local government, past and present.
You can obtain your own copy of the New Mexico Blue Book by calling Secretary of State Dianna Duran's Office at 1-800-477-3632. The cost is $10.95 and well worth it.
The 2012 Blue Book is a collector's item. It is the centennial edition of the Blue Book which is published by the Secretary of State's office every two years.
Young adults applying for college or preparing to enter the workforce are sometimes shocked to find out that certain behaviors that were either tolerated or ignored when they were younger now fall under closer scrutiny and could actually hurt their advancement possibilities. Among the biggest culprits are oversharing sensitive personal information in public forums and getting extreme tattoos or body art that may not yet be fully acceptable in certain work environments.
Red flags. It should be common knowledge that many employers perform online profile searches of job or internship candidates. They'll scour public postings on Facebook, Twitter or YouTube looking for inappropriate content like racy photos or videos, racist remarks or evidence of illegal activities that would rule inappropriate candidates.
But many people don't realize that colleges, insurance companies, law enforcement and government agencies sometimes do the same. Thus, an underage student hoping to boost his cool factor by posting photos that show him engaging in drinking games could be disqualified for college admission or even have his scholarship revoked.
At first glance, last week's election might seem to have been pretty much a "status quo" affair.
President Obama remains in the White House for another four years. Republicans will continue to control the U.S. House of Representatives for at least two more years, whereas a strengthened Democratic majority will prevail in the U.S. Senate.
In New Mexico, the election left Democrats in control of the Legislature and Republican Gov. Susana Martinez with just two years left on the 4th floor at the Roundhouse unless she seeks a second term.
The state's three-member U.S. House delegation still features one Republican and two Democrats, including newly elected lst Dist. Democratic Congresswoman Michelle Lujan-Grisham, and in the nation's upper house, New Mexicans will continue to be represented by two Democratic senators.
Nonetheless, Election 2012 left behind a decidedly changed political landscape in this enchanted land.
When 1st Dist. Congressman Martin Heinrich becomes Sen. Heinrich with the New Year, he will fill the Senate seat occupied for the past three decades by Democrat Jeff Bingaman. Thirty years accrues a lot of seniority in an institution where seniority matters a great deal.
Artesia is a southeastern New Mexico town named for the artesian aquifer on which the area's early agricultural industry was based. Today Artesia's 10,700 residents are drawing on the city's history as they work with the Artesia MainStreet program to remake the town's downtown.
Artesia MainStreet is part of the New Mexico MainStreet Program, a grassroots economic development program of the New Mexico Economic Development Department. The state Legislature launched the program in 1985 to help communities remake older commercial neighborhoods as economically viable business environments while preserving local cultural and historical resources.
The program currently serves 23 affiliated MainStreet projects and six state-authorized Arts and Cultural Districts statewide.
In the late 1970s, the National Trust for Historic Preservation developed the consensus-building approach used by MainStreet participants to wed economic development and historic preservation. Community volunteers are the engines of each program, but MainStreet Program directors contribute resources, education, training and technical services as needed.
This intangible thing we call freedom is interpreted differently by just about every individual, but one aspect that's not open for debate is that we enjoy freedom because of the sacrifices made by countless men and women of our armed forces. We must never question that freedom is worth fighting for, and dying for. That very concept was the genesis of the United States of America.
This Veteran's Day, take the time to salute the men and women of this country's military and the fact that they have always exemplified valor, courage and bravery. The sacrifices they've made throughout the history of this great country allow us all to revel in the freedom we have today; the forfeiture of one's own life for the cause of freedom is the quintessence of all that is good, right and noble about this country.
The greatness of America's armed forces has liberated countries, freed the oppressed, toppled tyrants and dethroned dictators. But not without sacrifice; look at virtually any corner of the globe and you'll find a spot where U.S. troops have spilled their blood.
Thus, we often speak of our freedom yet we rarely speak of those to whom we owe it.
The Mars rover Curiosity made headlines in early August when it landed safely and set to work on the red planet. The latest on Mars continues to make headlines.
On Aug. 19, Earth received the first Martian chemical data produced by Curiosity's ChemCam and its rock-zapping laser.
The data came by radio and took 14 minutes to speed 154 million miles back to earthlings eager to see more.
We marvel at the technical wonders that tell us what is on the next planet out from the sun.
Curiosity explores the state of Mars.
And exhibits ideas that can help with Earth's problems.
Which technologies aboard the rover Curiosity could be adapted to local needs for environmental sampling and analysis? If we can detect chemicals and their histories on Mars, can we check out pollutants more quickly on Earth?
These questions sprang up on a bright September day at this year's Next Big Idea Festival that our town holds each year.
A mock-up of Curiosity and the Los Alamos National Laboratory's ChemCam stood on the well-kept grass beside the laboratory tent.
The Star Wars look of it was enough to ask "what if?"
During my career as an engineering manager for electric utilities, I often motivated the troops with the results of a national survey. Respondents were asked to rank the factors most important to their lives from a long list.
The results were, in order: air, water, food and electricity. The devastating aftermath of hurricane Sandy is another illustration of the importance of electricity to people's health and safety.
Here in Los Alamos, our Department of Public Utilities (DPU) is directly responsible for two out of four of these most important factors.
Operating our utilities is similar to running our town; it involves all the strategic elements of planning, maintenance, emergency response, informed purchases, public safety, and reliable performance of both equipment and workers. We expect our water, gas and electric power to be there, present and future, and we expect it restored immediately, if lost. It is a responsibility that must always be taken seriously.
Utility management provides the technical and administrative skills to execute their mission. The Utility Board provides oversight and provides sufficient funding to perform the mission through rates that are fair to all served. In addition, Board oversight must be strategic, to ensure management is planning for long range needs and infrastructure maintenance.
WESST brings a global business initiative to New Mexico in a five-part series of workshops designed to empower small-business owners to make sound financial decisions.
HP Learning Initiative for Entrepreneurs — or HP Life — is a global program sponsored by Hewlett Packard that trains the owners of microenterprises to apply information technology and business skills to establish and expand a job-creating venture.
WESST sponsors the workshops at its Albuquerque Enterprise Center.
Sessions cover the basics of finance, financial planning, invoicing, expense tracking and cash flow management.
While the workshops empower participants with information about critical business tools, business owners should always verify accounting practices with an accountant who's familiar with their business.
Fundamentals of finance: Break-even analysis is the most basic of financial basics. Without doing this analysis, a business owner can't know when the amount of money she's bringing in is equal to her costs.
Determining this break-even point requires a list of variable costs associated with making the product and a list of fixed costs, such as rent or loan payments that need to be paid no matter how many products are made.
The rhetoric regarding the Charter ballot questions on initiative, referendum and recall is making the changes sound positively draconian!
Let's look at what the most widely challenged changes actually do.

1) No change in the percentage of voters needed (so not noted in the ballot question) but a change in the basis for the number of signatures required for initiatives from 15% of voters in the last general election to 15% of the number of voters in the arithmetic mean of the past two general elections. (Election Resolution 12-09, p. 4, New Section 700.2) For example:
• 15 percent of the 8,846 voters in 2010 = 1,327 (mid-term)•
• 15 percent of the 11,118 voters in 2008 = 1,668 (presidential)
• 15 percent of the mean of 9,982 voters = 1,497
So if the last general election is a typical presidential election you are better off with the Charter change!
Santa Fe requires 33.3 percent of the voters in the last mayoral election (actual numbers not available at press time). Albuquerque requires 20 percent of the average of the last four municipal elections.

Tin Hat: Linux with Paranoia
Tin Hat, a Linux distribution based on hardened Gentoo, has been released in version 20090727.
Developers have updated the Glibc to version 2.9 and built the distro from GCC 4.3.3 sourcecode whereby the "-fstack-protector-all" flag was used, apart from with Glibc and Evilution which used the "-fstack-protector".
The kernel has been tweaked up to version 2.6.28-hardened-r9, and around 90 software packages received an update from Upstream-Gentoo. For example: Postfix to version 2.5.7, Firefox to 3.0.11 and Portage to 22.214.171.124. A complete list of changes for both amd64 and i686 can be found on the projects webpage.
Tin Hat boots from CD or pendrive and unpacks compressed files directly into RAM, making it slow to boot but quick to use, promise the makers. Needing up to 4 Gbyte of RAM, the unusual methodology is designed to leave no trace of data on the motherboard. Further information and images to download is available at the Tin Hat homepage.

|DEAR FELLOW NEBRASKANS: Get out and explore Nebraska with 2011 Passport
|Written by Wauneta Breeze
|Thursday, 02 June 2011 18:05
By Nebraska Governor
Dave Heineman
This is a good time to make plans to explore Nebraska, and the 2011 Nebraska Passport is a good way to get started. The passport program highlights Nebraska's unique attractions and offers travelers a range of activities and places to visit during peak summer travel season.
The promotion encourages travelers to rediscover the road trip and some of the many opportunities for stops along the way. Souvenir passports are now available at the 33 locations selected to be part of this year's promotion. More information is available at www.nebraskapassport.com or by calling l Nebraska Tourism at 1(888)444-1867. Travelers collecting stamps from each location visited are eligible for prizes while supplies last.
The passport promotion highlights museums including: the Sheldon Museum of Art in Lincoln, the Strategic Air and Space Museum in Ashland, the Nebraska Firefighters Museum and Education Center in Kearney, and the Hastings Museum of Natural and Cultural History. It features unique attractions including Homestead National Monument in Beatrice, Boys Town in Omaha and Arbor Day Farm's Tree Adventure in Nebraska City.
There are opportunities for outdoor recreation at stops including: the Wildcat Hills Nature Center in Gering, Ponca State Park, the Lake McConaughy Visitor/Water Interpretive Center in Ogallala, Fort Hartsuff State Historical Park in Burwell, and the Fort Niobrara National Wildlife Refuge in Valentine.
The 33 locations featured in this year's Nebraska Passport offer historical connections to our past and the people and places that contributed to shaping our state, as well as opportunities to sample locally grown foods and Nebraska wines. They represent a few of the wide variety of activities and destinations our state has to offer.
Whether you're looking for a short getaway or a vacation destination, Nebraska is rich in opportunities to take in beautiful views along scenic byways, tours of the state's 25 wineries, local festivals and other special events, and farms and ranches offering hunting and other sporting opportunities.
The tourism and travel industry has an important economic impact on our state. It generates more than $3 billion a year. Total travel expenditures in Nebraska have increased by more than $2.4 billion from 1990 to 2010. In 2009, tourism accounted for more than 45,000 jobs statewide.
Travelers will find that their lodging, dining and entertainment dollars go further in Nebraska. Our state remains one of the nation's most cost-effective destinations. We encourage Nebraskans and those in surrounding states to get out and explore Nebraska this year.
More information on the 2011 Nebraska Passport is available online at NebraskaPassport.com. Interactive maps, road trip ideas, trip planners, and more travel information are available at VisitNebraska.gov.

Some items provided by Pottery Barn for this design.
We have been in our home for almost 6 years and my front living room has been forgotten. It seems like it's the last room I think about but it is the first room a guest sees. Since adding a piano to that space, I'm happy to say that this room is much more welcoming…and used! When choosing my room for the Pottery Barn Re-design series…I knew this was the room.
Here is my ispiration design board for my space:
After talking with my dear friend Sita (everyone needs a designer friend), and getting tips, I was ready to go. I knew I wanted this space to be a little bit "fancy" with a little glam. I wanted this room to flow better and wanted to add white and grey with pops of black and blue.
I also loved using Pottery Barn's Design studio for tips, advice and inspiration to use along the way. Today I want to share with you the key pieces that transformed my living room.
1. Lighting:
I think lighting is huge in a room. I LOVE me some lamps. I fell in love with this Chunky Antique Mercury glass lamp. I love the shape and color. I added symmetry to this room by placing a side table and lamp on either side of my white sofa. It made a huge impact. I love symmetry. I love when these lamps light up the room at night…they are so pretty. I think a lamp is a good thing to splurge on!
2. RUGS: This Zig Zag rug made the most dramatic change in my space. I could not love it more. I love the cool colors of light grey and white. I have owned a few pottery barn rugs and they last forever! Great quality and design.
I also found a home for Evie Ivy "i love you so" sign that I bought at the Queen Bee Market.
3. Pillows & Throws: Pillows add color, texture, and patterns to your space. I love neutral sofas and chairs with patterned pillows. I started with this chunky striped pillow (I wish you could see the great texture), and added a few other pillows. I used the black and white polka-dot and floral fabric to make easy pillow slipcovers. Throws also add a soft 'homey' feel to any room.
4. Accessories: Ahhhh…the icing on the cake. These Malta lanterns are dreamy. I paired mine on a tray (lined with polka-dot fabric) to place on my coffee table.
I love how this room came together. Love the beautiful items I found at Pottery Barn. I Love how the Sliver Piano is quite the statement piece (some say I'm crazy but I love it) and I love seeing the Gallery Wall of my cute kids tie into the design. It's a happy room.

I am a sixteen-year-old who has chosen not to drive. I have decided not to even attain a permit up to this point. I thoroughly dislike cars and loath the impact that they have made on our culture. They cause massive amounts of pollution and have contributed to making Americans lackadaisical and apathetic. Don't get me wrong; I do not mind cars in moderation. It just seems that cars are overabundant in our society.
In some ways, I think that it would be great if the driving age was raised. Statistics have shown that there would probably be fewer accidents. In fact, today's teenage drivers are said to be responsible for about five times as many fatal crashes per license holder as are drivers between the ages of thirty-five and sixty-four. In addition, the mere idea of a decrease in the number of cars on the road is personally appealing to me.
Here in Oregon, restrictions have already been put into effect regarding driving minors. Teenagers are only allowed to drive adults and members of their family for the first six months of their newfound mobility. Some states will not allow unrestricted driving until 18. In actuality, these laws are often transgressed, and make only a small impact on the frequency of car-related injuries. In fact, I myself have often been an accomplice in these illegal driving excursions.
If the driving age was raised to eighteen all across the United States there would certainly be some reputable outcomes. However, it might be dangerous to elevate the right to drive to novelty status. It also seems to me that there is hypocrisy in...

This week, Nebraska added verbal commitments from two high-school football recruits. Jesse Coffey, an offensive lineman from Guyman Texas, and Emerson Evans, a defensive end from Houston, both verbally pledged to be a part of NU's 2009 recruiting class. With these two pledges coming on the heals of quarterback recruit Cody Green's commitment, it appears that NU has some recruiting momentum going. There are many reasons to like these two prospects. Some obvious physiological, geographic and personnel trends are also starting to appear in NU's recruiting efforts.
The Prospects
Let's start with this basic evaluation - Coffey is a big kid. He's 6'7'' and about 275 pounds as a 17-year old. Given a little continued growth and the right strength and conditioning program, he can develop in to a mountainous player. I also like that he's a very smart kid. He shouldn't have a problem adjusting to a college setting or to learning an offense. He was wanted by several other programs, including some in the Big 12. That's always nice to see. Rivals.com rates him among the top 100 players in the state of Texas.
Evans doesn't exactly jump off of the page at you when you see his measurables. He's 6'1'' and 250 pounds, which is a bit short for a defensive end. The kid had 16 sacks while playing in the largest classification of Texas high school football (5A). So you can't argue with the production. Evans had offers from Utah and Ole Miss before picking NU. Other schools were also interested.
Interestingly, Evans has nearly identical stature to Cole Pensick and Thaddeus Randle, two recruits slated to play defensive tackle. It's pretty clear Evans follows that same prototype. Just maybe they may want him as a defensive tackle. Or, going the other way, if he is closer to 240 pounds, he could be an outside linebacker prospect. Apparently he is an explosive athlete, but sometimes it is tough for players to transition from putting their hand on the ground to being in a stand up athletic position.
Positions of Need
Another important factor to keep in mind - these are both positions of need. You always want and need to be signing offensive linemen. A bad class of linemen or even a little attrition at the position can really hurt. Husker fans have learned that the hard way. Considering that 2008 recruit David Grant is looking less and less likely to qualify this season, the need becomes even more serious.
And, there is no question that NU is in the market for defensive ends. So, it is good to see them get one "on the hook" with Evens. That's assuming he stays at that position. If he makes a change to defensive tackle, then that position may be filling up for NU's 2009 recruiting class. Though, Pensick may play offense and NU could try to keep a slot open for another highly-rated defensive line prospect.
The Lone Star Source
There is a pretty obvious geographic trend emerging for NU's recruiting this year. The Huskers are going for it in the state of Texas. Of the eight verbal commitments that NU has to date, five are from Texas. No doubt the schools located there and other conference foes (Missouri, Kansas) have feasted on the quality and quantity of players located in Texas. And, it is good to see NU doing the same.
It's also becoming pretty clear who Coach Pelini's 'go to' recruiters are. Tim Beck has the relationships in Texas and a solid track record as a recruiter. He helped Kansas land talent, and now he's doing the same at NU. And, Mike Ekeler's name is connected to seemingly every commitment the Huskers pick up. His energy and rappor with players is paying off.
Fans should be pleased to see NU picking up their recruiting momentum now, with three commitments in pretty quick succession. If the Huskers have one or two more prospects on board before the season starts, they would be on pace for a good class. The next big opportunity to woo recruits comes with five straight home games to open the season.

Experiencing the various cultures flourishing in villages around Lake Sentani, Papua is the best prelude of adventure in Papua, Indonesia. These diverse attractions will not be dispersed in distant spots, since an immensely organized event will be held on June 19-23, 2010 in Sentani Lake, Jayapura District, 45 km south of Jayapura, the capital of Papua. The event is prominently called Lake Sentani Festival 2010, sustaining a grand theme, "Loving Culture for Our Future".
The festival is one of the threads of festival held in Papua during these few months, following the successful Raja Ampat Marine Festival 2010 in Waisai, and in line with the upcoming Baliem Valley Festival 2010 on August 9, 2010 in Wosilimo, Wamena. Papua has been blessed with one of the most unimaginable cultural magnificence in Indonesia. These festivals are exceptional and worth visiting.
Some of the activities you will see in the Lake Sentani Festival 2010 are the colossal traditional dance performed on dugout canoes, showing the rich cultures of the people, and skillful dancers in keeping the canoes balanced. The dance will show "the pieces of early Lake Sentani's secret" as the local government and Jayapura society intend to introduce. "The theme is to motivate all citizens to love its existence as a civilized human being through the strengthening of cultural character by protecting and conserving nature of Papua, especially the indigenous communities of Sentani Lake", said the Head of Jayapura Regency, Mr. Hebel Suwae.
Other attractions during the festival are dances from around the nation, attractions of Papuan drums called tifa, flute drums, art and cultural exhibitions, Lake Sentani tour, and fireworks on the lake. Preparation of Papuan food is also one of the interesting elements shown in the festival. Competitions such as hair weaving contest and bark painting contest are peculiarities you will not find elsewhere. During the events, photographers and alike will not be bored with extravagant costumes and crafts. It is a sight that comes once in a blue moon, so do not miss it.
Reaching Lake Sentani is far from complicated. Jayapura's Sentani Airport connects almost all flights in and to Papua. Garuda Airlines and Merpati Airlines are two major airlines that fly to the destination.

Many of us have probably had a spiritual vision in our lives before. A moment in which we have seen or experienced something we can't quite explain. Regardless of your belief background, we can all appreciate the intimacy and connection one can develop within their own faith. Likewise, those of the Christian faith believe that the Lord and Jesus are everywhere and anywhere, and can materialize in any form at any time, after all, a supreme being has no limits, right? But, doesn't the line have to be drawn somewhere? Haven't believers gone just a tad off the deep end when they are confessing that their Cheeto represents the son of God? Or that Jesus has bestowed upon a family the miracle of fixing their freezer's ice maker?
I came across this video below, and am still dumbfounded by it. Locally, here in Nashville, there is the mysterious legend of the 'Nun Bun' – so I know about this food-vision anomaly first hand. I love how so many news stations are reporting these stories. It's like there is a huge archive of Jesus-in-food-or-other-inanimate-object video clips for stations to use on those days when there is virtually nothing else to report. It's great – and you know what, it may seem ridiculous, but bravo to all of these people for bringing a little bit of the Lord into their lives, whether it be in a fish stick or a piece of plywood.
Finally Tonight, Jesus. Yet Another 'Savior Sighting'
Jesus shown materialized in: Grilled cheese sandwhiches, windows, tree bark, fish sticks, cats, ultrasounds, salsa, cinnamon buns, buckets of filth, telephone poles, pancakes, toast, cement, plywood, folded shirts, inside the TV, clouds, waffles, frying pans, silverware, moths, human flesh, turtle shells, rocks, grapes, ice cream, dirty sinks, potato chips, breath mints, and during storm chases in the 'land of God'.
Here's to hoping that, whatever you do today, builds your own personal faith. And remember, people who ride motorcycles should believe in God.

Ryan Denny scored 25 points and the host Falcons put an end to Mountain View's bid for a share of the Class 3A Greater St. Helens League championship.
The result means Columbia River wins the league championship. Mountain View will finish in second place and Prairie will finish third.
This game was close from start to finish, but the Falcons were solid down the stretch. Prairie never trailed in the second half and salted away the win by making 11 of 13 free throws in the fourth quarter.
Denny scored 12 of his 25 points in the fourth quarter, and made all nine of his free throws in the period.
The Falcons (14-5, 8-3) outscored the Thunder by two points in each quarter. Mountain View (14-5, 9-2), which could have earned a share of the league title with wins on Tuesday at Prairie and on Friday against Camas, pulled within one point early in the fourth quarter.
"Our kids have been playing real well down the stretch (of the season)," Prairie coach Kyle Brooks said.
Even though Tuesday's game didn't matter in terms of the Falcons position in the district tournament, Brooks said winning the last home game of this season was significant.
"We felt it was a great opportunity to beat a good Mountain View team and get some confidence going into the playoffs," Brooks said
Nathan Cherzan had 14 points and 12 rebounds for the Falcons, and Preston Brooks had seven assists.
For Mountain View, Ryan Johnson scored 19 points and Rico Bolivar added 16.
MOUNTAIN VIEW — Zach Torson 8, Taylor Drey 7, Ryan Johnson 19, Luke DuChesne 2, Rico Bolivar 16, Sean McCauley 0, Shane McCauley 2. Totals 18 (2) 16-25 54.
PRAIRIE — Colton Prestwich 0, Reece Burnett 8, JaMariay McDonald 3, Preston Brooks 7, James Phillips 1, Ryan Denny 25, Andy Hak 2, Dane Brooks 2, Nathan Cherzan 14. Totals 21 (6) 14-21 62.
Mtn View 13 12 12 17–54
Prairie 15 14 14 19–62

2004 Nissan Pathfinder LE Platinum Rwd 4dr SUV (3.5L 6cyl 4A)
The body's bold, classy, and muscular lines as well as the very well appointed and up-scale interior are like no other SUV and really attracted us. We went Nissan again for the third time!! The power, comfort, and handling are great. This SUV has great materials as well as fit and finish. After 28000 very hard miles the only problem to date is that the rear drum brakes squeal when cold. An easy fix. The gas mileage is about average but the tank should be a little bigger for more range. The rear seat is a little cramped for 6- footers. Great otherwise. Rear storage is good. If you want a classy but reliable SUV pick this one!!!
Bose sound system thumps. The automatic climate control is one of the best designs ever. The interior is by far the classiest of any SUV in it's class. The exterior is very classy. Hated to see it go.
Unusual for rear drum brakes on a vehicle of this caliber. Should have had rear discs. Larger gas tank to help with range on trips. A little more room for rear passengers would be nice.
Absolutely love to drive this SUV with car like features. Handling is great, quiet ride and ok fuel comsumption. Definetly needs rear hatch release instead of glass release only or ability to open glass from back of vehicle without using driver side release.
Exterior look. gauges, engine performance, handling
Keyless entry without fob. Rear glass release from back of vehicle. More headroom.
I have put 1500 miles on mine and I
have concluded that "I like it". It has
power, comfort simple to operate and
handles very well. Great for hurricanes
and remodeling. It can easily haul 12
sheets of plywood or sheetrock if you
fold the rear seat down and lay 2 2x4s
on the top of the folded read seat
back - I was unable to do that with the
Durango or 4-Runner.
Only thing I'd change is the location
of the oil filter. Its a bear to get to.
Great little vehicle.
cargo room and comfort in a small
package. handles super
oil filter location is a bear -
Have nothing but wonderful things to
report about my Pathfinder. It is my
first SUV and I could not be more
pleased with its comfort. Am
particularly happy with the way it
drives---frankly, it is MUCH easier to
handle than the Grand Marquis I traded!
The performance is magnificent.....very
powerful, smooth ride, and no problems
The interior is so comfortable and
roomy; love the sun roof! Second-row
seat folds down.
GORGEOUS luminous gold....It is my LSU
Fightin' Tigers vehicle!
Drivability.....easy, easy to handle;
comfortable interior with great
amenities. Particularly enjoy the sun
roof and steering wheel controls for
the radio.
Two trash bags...front and rear!
Something that attaches/hangs from an
existing knob/handle and is machine-
Wow! 'Got the superblack color and
it's like a limo! Powerful, quiet,
smooth ride and handles great! I
recently moved - now have a 45 minute
commute but look forward to the drive
every morning and and every evening!
Best vehicle I've every owned. Highly
Power, ride, quiet, climate control,
audio system, quality, interior and
exterior appearance (check out the
great looking 17" alloy wheels!)
Nitpicks - could really use a bit more
headroom and legroom for a vehicle in
this class (existing room is adequate,
but a little more would be nice).

 I would love to have 3 models. Winner, drinking and just riding for example. No much detail needed

 I want to customize them. (for local clubs and to make famous cyclist replicas).

 I would love to have a customizable file to change the outfit. It would be great to apply .jpg files or .psd files so I can change the jerseys in each 3d model.

That's my take on it anyway.
Other than that, I think it's no different to straight guys trying to affirm their masculinity. It speaks about insecurity more than anything else. I don't hate them for it; to each their own.
Ugh! That reminded me of an essay that I remembered reading in my English book on whether or not the legalization of gay marriage would be a good thing for the gay community. It touched on that. I tried finding it real quick this morning, but I ran out of time and could only find the essay from a few sketchy sources -.-

Posted by ESPN.com's Bill Williamson
Here are some pregame AFC West notes:
Star left cornerback Champ Bailey is not active for the Broncos in Atlanta today despite the fact that he practiced some on Thursday and Friday. Denver will surely miss Bailey against the pass-happy Falcons.
Ultimately, it is probably the best decision that Bailey has another week of rest. He suffered a groin injury Oct. 20. Denver will likely be in the AFC West race for the rest of the season and it will need Bailey for the stretch run. Another week off should do Bailey good and he should be back for next week's home game against Oakland.
Kansas City running back Larry Johnson is expected to get 12-15 rushes today in his first game back after sitting for four games as a punishment for off-field issues from both the team and the NFL. The Chiefs have become a spread offense with quarterback Tyler Thigpen in the last three weeks so Johnson will have to adjust to the new offensive scheme.
Running back Darren McFadden is active and will play after missing the last three games. He had turf toe injuries on both feet. Expect McFadden to be eased back into the offense and he will back up Justin Fargas against the Dolphins. McFadden has had a disappointing rookie season because of injuries. When he gets his full health, expect McFadden to be explosive player Oakland drafted him to be.
Jim Fassel wants to be the Raiders next head coach. Al Davis should really consider it. A veteran coach such as Fassel or Dennis Green could be what this team needs. Davis often likes to unearth young coaching prospects, but Oakland is in a time of serious need and steady hands such as Fassel or Green could be the answer. This is a situation Davis should consider.

Brazil Will Burn Sugarcane Fields Until 2017
October 22, 2007 02:41 PM -
SAO PAULO (Reuters) - Almost 100 sugar and ethanol mills in Brazil's main sugar cane state Sao Paulo have agreed to stop the practice of burning cane fields by 2017, the Sugar Cane Industry Union (Unica) said on Monday.
These mills crush more than 50 percent of the cane output in Sao Paulo, Brazil's No. 1 cane producing state that accounts for around 63 percent of the national crop.
In June, Unica had signed an agreement with the state government in which mills were to ban cane burning in the state by 2017, well before 2031 target mandated by a state law.
China Needs More Than Electric Cars: Toyota
October 22, 2007 11:04 AM -
TOKYO (Reuters) - Japanese carmaker Toyota is working to improve its hybrid cars and develop electric cars for the future, but an official said on Monday that these vehicles would not help reduce CO2 emissions in China.
"In France, 80 percent of electricity is produced by nuclear stations so if electric cars replace fossil fuel cars then you have a clear reduction in the emission of CO2," said Tatehito Ueda, a managing officer at Toyota Motor Corp.
"But in China they make electricity by burning coal, so China is not the place for electric cars," he told the Nikkei International Automotive Conference in Tokyo.
Kansas Vetos Coal Power: Health Risks Cited
October 22, 2007 10:57 AM - Bernie Woodall, Reuters
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Opponents of coal-fired power plants say they were given a new weapon last week when Kansas became the first state to reject a coal-fired power plant solely on the basis of the health risks created by carbon dioxide emissions.
A dozen states have rejected plans for new coal-fired power, at least in part because of concerns over carbon dioxide (CO2) emissions. However, Kansas does not regulate carbon emissions and is believed to be the first state to tie CO2 to health risks and use that as the only stated reason for denying a required air permit, said Bruce Nilles, head of the Sierra Club's national effort to stop new coal plants and retire the dirtiest of existing ones.
NHC sees no tropical cyclones in Atlantic basin
October 22, 2007 10:23 AM -
NEW YORK (Reuters) - The U.S. National Hurricane Center said Monday it did not expect tropical cyclone formation over the next 48 hours.
The Miami-based agency said it was monitoring tropical waves in the Gulf of Mexico, the Caribbean Sea and the Atlantic Ocean, but right now did not expect further development of any of the systems.
Solar cars race from Australia's top to bottom
October 21, 2007 11:41 PM -
SYDNEY (Reuters) - Sun-powered-car enthusiasts from around the world raced into the Australia outback on Sunday at speeds nearing 100 kilometres-per-hour at the start of the World Solar Challenge.
Thousands of onlookers crowded the streets of Darwin in Australia's tropical north for the beginning of the 3,000-km (1,863 mile) race, a biennial event since 1987, gawking at the sleek foil-like vehicles resembling giant microchips.
The only rule over the mostly straightaway course through Australia's "red centre" in temperatures that can exceed 50 degrees Celsius is that the custom-built vehicles run on nothing but the sun.
"The drivers will be sitting on between 90 and 100 kilometres per hour as much as they can, though most are capable of going faster," said race coordinator Chris Selwood.
"But this really is not just about who is the fastest, it's more about energy efficiency and management," he said.

Georgia declares state of emergency over drought
October 21, 2007 10:45 PM -
ATLANTA (Reuters) - Georgia has declared a state of emergency over its worst drought in decades and appealed to President George W. Bush for federal aid, newspapers said on Sunday.
Low rainfall in the Southeastern United States has caused a drought in several states, including swaths of Georgia, Alabama, Tennessee and North and South Carolina.
Gov. Sonny Perdue asked Bush to issue a federal disaster designation for the drought-affected parts of the state that would empower him to order less water released from Lake Sidney Lanier and make federal funds available to state and local governments.
It would also enable low interest loans to be offered to Georgia businesses hurt by the drought, according to the Atlanta Journal-Constitution.
Wildfires rage in southern California
October 21, 2007 10:42 PM - Mary Milliken
LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - At least nine wildfires stoked by gusting winds burned out of control in southern California on Sunday, killing one person in San Diego and forcing hundreds to evacuate the wealthy enclave of Malibu where five homes went up in flames.
The Malibu fire burned 1,250 acres by 4:30 p.m. and destroyed at least seven buildings, including a landmark castle-like house and a Presbyterian church, officials said. No injuries were reported.

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - California will sue the Environmental Protection Agency next week in the state's bid to crack down on greenhouse gas emissions from vehicles, a spokesman for Gov. Arnold Schwarzenegger said on Saturday.
California will file a lawsuit against the EPA demanding the right to set its own limits on vehicle emissions that are stricter than national standards, spokesman Aaron McLear said.
California, which has become a leader on environmental issues in the United States, passed a state law in 2005 that would require new vehicles to meet progressively tighter standards for greenhouse gas emissions starting with 2009 models.

Global warming talks in Bali in December need to make a breakthrough or international efforts to limit greenhouse gases could be in "deep trouble," the top U.N. climate official said on Friday.
"If we're not on the eve of a breakthrough in Bali, we can spend the next six years waiting for the next report from the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, public interest will slip away and we will be in deep trouble," said Yvo de Boer, who heads the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change.
