The Oliphant-Durand exchange of letters occurred in 1899 and was published in 1900. Elder James Oliphant was a leading minister among Primitive Baptists for approximately fifty years, crossing almost equally from the nineteenth into the twentieth century. Thus this exchange of letters occurred during his prime ministry. Elder Silas Durand was a leading and respected minister among absolute predestinarian Primitive Baptists. Occasionally advocates of various views of predestination in these camps will question, "Are we dealing with semantics, a mere hair-splitting of terms, or do we in fact have significant theological differences?" I believe that significant theological differences exist, and I also believe that these two men from a century ago did a masterful job in framing the dimensions of those theological differences.
Some absolute predestinarians fell into the abysmal error of charging sin to God's causative predestination. However, despite frequent use of terms that left the question obscured as to their true belief on this point, I believe it is reasonable to say that most absolute predestinarians sincerely think they did not (and do not) believe that God caused sin. That said I also believe they (then and now) failed to refine their Biblical interpretations and choice of terms to adequately communicate their rejection of this error. For example, in this exchange of letters Durand quoted a passage with great emphasis that stated that God has "…wrought all our works in us." (Isaiah 26:12) When Durand emphasized that "…all our works…" really meant "all our works," Oliphant responded with a question; did God "wrought" all of David's works when he had the affair with Bathsheba and subsequently arranged for her husband's death? Durand never answered the question! Had he been as devoted to denial of God causing sin as to some of his other ideas regarding predestination, he should have immediately clarified his point and responded to Oliphant's question. Instead he simply never mentioned that passage again and did not respond to Oliphant's question. What did Durand believe regarding David's two major sins? Did God "wrought" them, or didn't He?
What then was the major theological point of disagreement between Oliphant and Durand, indeed between the two peoples whom these two men represented? As appears in the full text of the letters, at least one of the major points of difference, if not the single most significant point of difference, appeared in their major disagreement related to the nature of predestination as it impacts the regenerate elect person's acts of faith and obedience, the question of discipleship. Did God irresistibly, effectually, and causatively predestinate every act of faith and obedience? Or did God command these acts, providing multiple influences that encourage, enable, and instruct our obedience, but stopping distinctly short of a deterministic and irresistible, effectual divine causation of them? Repeatedly in his letters, as well as in his other writings, notably to this point, his Thoughts on the Will, Elder Oliphant emphasizes the "moral government" of God over His regenerate elect, and the associated fact that regenerate elect people are "moral people," accountable and responsible to God for their conscious, willing, and voluntary choices to obey or not to obey. Elder Durand repeatedly rejected this concept, favoring a deterministic and irresistible, effectual divine decree that fully causes every act of faith and discipleship in the regenerate elect person. It appears that this idea was the central point of Durand's use of the term "absolute predestination of all things."
Thus their major disagreement was framed in these letters, as well as in many other similar documents from that era, in terms of the role of divine and causative predestination in the matter of the regenerate elect person's acts of faith and obedience.
Often in such works as this, the author will quote brief snippets from the source writers before offering his analysis and/or comments. Intentionally in this work I quote at length from both men in an attempt to give the reader a full perception of the writer's intent in the quote in question.
To fully understand this analysis, and to grasp the significance of the issues of theological belief that framed the debate and the eventual separation of fellowship among the people who held to the two views discussed, I strongly urge you to read the full text of the Oliphant-Durand letters. Elder David Montgomery recently posted the first two letters on Free Grace Fellowship. I urge him to post the remaining letters as well. If you do not have these letters, you may obtain a copy either from him or from me. My electronic copy is in Microsoft Word file format.
Note from Elder David Montgomery: You can read this exchange by clicking here.
In the course of dialogue, especially when participants hold to significant disagreement on the issues of dialogue, it is easy for writers to resort to various strategies that confuse or distort the issues at hand. Communications authorities typically refer to these strategies as "logical fallacies." Occasionally I will mention these fallacies in my assessment of the author's ideas. From my personal perspective, Elder Durand frequently resorted to logical fallacies rather than forthrightly responding to Elder Oliphant's questions and/or thoughts. Typically advocates of the absolute predestinarian error find it necessary to appeal frequently to the "parts to the whole" logical fallacy in order to support their errant idea. For example, if one man is reported in Scripture as being born blind for the glory of God, they will use the "parts to the whole" fallacy to claim that every child born and every birth defect that exists was divinely caused for the glory of God. A second example; since God raised up Pharaoh in the days of Moses to be a participant in His deliverance of His chosen people from Egyptian bondage, the logical fallacy of "parts to the whole" claims that God causes the advent of every national leader. This logical fallacy appears in its simplest illogical form with this example. Since I happen to drive a 1997 Toyota Camry that is mauve in color, the "parts to the whole" logical fallacy would conclude that all 1997 Toyota Camrys that exist are mauve in color. If I were to be so naïve and unthinking as to believe that because I own a mauve 1997 Toyota Camry, all 1997 Toyota Camrys are mauve, I'd be in for quite a shock when I drove down the street in my community and happened to see a green 1997 Toyota Camry, and then a black one, etc. In either the case of car colors on in the case of theological reflections people who really embrace this logical fallacy must eventually face the fact that their view simply does not correspond to reality, to the facts of the matter. Sadly many folks who employ this fallacy in their theology simply invent a near-endless sequence of exceptions to the rule to avoid rejecting their errant view and embracing the correct Biblical truth of predestination that avoids the odious conclusions inherent in the errant view.
Another common logical fallacy that often appears in conjunction with the "parts to the whole" fallacy is the "horns of the dilemma" logical fallacy. This fallacy creates two nearly opposite ideas, one highly favored by the framer of the fallacy and one intentionally created so as to be odious to all readers. Then the framer of the two ideas commits the fallacy; there are no other alternatives. You must choose either "A" or "B." You have no other option. Factually, there are typically numerous alternative views between "A" and "B," and typically truth is to be found in neither of the "horns of the dilemma" set up in the argument, but in one of the alternatives. Often advocates of absolute predestination employ this fallacy by arguing that one must either embrace their excessive view of divine causative predestination or else resign to being a "deist," a person who barely believes in God, but who believes that God is not at all involved in anything that goes on in human history. I have read after a few deists, but I have seldom ever encountered one in person. The claim that you must either embrace absolute predestination of all things or else be a deist serves as a classical illustration of the "horns of the dilemma" logical fallacy. Multiple views of God's sovereignty avoid both the error of absolute predestination of all things and the opposite error of deism, and, once again, Biblical truth lies in those carefully omitted options that the framer of the fallacy crafts out in his fallacy's two options. Suppose that we actually search till we find a true deist. Are we to conclude that anyone who rejects absolute predestination of all things is de facto a deist? No, I reject both the absolute predestination of all things, and I equally and unequivocally reject deism. Both errors are equally objectionable to me. My personal belief in Biblical predestination rejects both views in the dilemma's horns as errant and unbiblical.
Regardless of a person's beliefs, Christian ethics demands that a person articulate his/her beliefs regarding God and the teaching of Scripture with openness, transparency, and with impeccable clarity so that no one can reasonably misunderstand or misinterpret his/her beliefs. Another communications error often used by writers who for various reasons prefer to leave their true beliefs obscurely stated is the practice of "plausible deniability." Simply stated, this practice appears intentionally to state one's beliefs with carefully crafted obscurity. When a reader questions or challenges the writer's ideas, the writer simply denies the interpretation with, "Oh, you misunderstood me. I didn't mean that at all." Yet if someone else reads the same document and comes to the same conclusion approvingly, the author will congratulate the reader for clearly understanding his/her beliefs. Simply stated, it can't be both! If black is black, it can't be white. Christian integrity demands that we make every effort to be wholly transparent in our articulation of our beliefs. Agree with us or disagree, our readers should clearly know from our words precisely what we believe and what we do not believe. I do not expect that every reader will agree with my assessment of the Oliphant-Durand letters. I sincerely hope that every reader will clearly understand my thoughts and beliefs regarding them.
I offer one final point. If we read these letters and conclude that we agree with Elder Durand's views regarding predestination and Christian obedience, we should feel no hesitancy to state for any and all to know that we do agree with his views. Likewise if we agree with Elder Oliphant, we should clearly state that agreement. Christian integrity requires that if we agree with Durand, we must not claim Oliphant, or if we agree with Oliphant, we must not claim Durand. Perhaps there is some "middle ground" between Oliphant and Durand on the question of predestination and the attitudes and actions of discipleship in a regenerate elect, but the lines of distinction become fairly fine at this point. Does God wholly, irresistibly, effectually, and causatively produce the mental and behavioral actions in a person's discipleship, or doesn't He? The opposite view in a "horns of the dilemma" fallacy would depict Oliphant as advocating that the individual believer's faith, will, and actions occur wholly independent of God, but that simply is not Oliphant's view. He clearly acknowledges divine influence and graces in the regenerate elect person, but he stops decidedly short of absolute, causative predestination on one side and deistic divine independence on the other.

Oldham Athletic 0
City 4
Rodwell 21mins, 51mins & 82mins, Suarez 76mins
- Match reports
- 29 April 2013 21:01
- Posted by @markbooth_mcfc
Jack Rodwell marked his second appearance for the Elite Development Squad in a week with a hat-trick to put City on their way to a Manchester Senior Cup win over Oldham Athletic.
Denis Suarez scored City's other goal in a game where Rodwell and Micah Richards both completed 90 minutes to help Attilio Lombardo's men to a fourth-successive win.
Former City and Oldham boss Joe Royle once famously coined "Ice Station Zebra" to describe Boundary Park, English football's third-highest ground above sea level.
It was easy to see why on a decidedly chilly spring night, though the action on the pitch was red hot between two teams determined to put best foot forward in this Manchester Senior Cup showdown.
Rodwell and Richards were both drafted in from the first-team squad to continue their respective rehabilitations in a strong-looking City XI which showed five changes from the team that beat Norwich City 3-1 on Friday.
Rodwell was charged with the responsibility of breaking forward from the centre of midfield, while Richards started in his customary position on the right-side of defence – though as one might expect, Micah spent a great deal of his time in the opposition half.
For Richards it was the third occasion he'd turned out for the EDS after draws at Bolton and Newcastle, while for Rodwell this game followed up his 63 minute run-out in the win against Stoke last Monday.
City went into the game knowing that their hopes of a place in the Manchester Senior Cup final rested on winning their remaining three games against Oldham, Manchester United and Bury, having already lost to Bolton and defeated Stockport County on penalties earlier in the competition.
Oldham have been on the wrong end of a 7-0 defeat to Manchester United in this season's tournament, so were determined to keep things tight this time around, limiting City to pot shots from range in the opening exchanges.
As an unusual quirk, the hosts named first-team manager Lee Johnson in their midfield but even the man who led the Latics to League One safety could do nothing to prevent the opening goal after 21 minutes when Albert Rusnak's pinpoint set piece from the right was met with authority by the head of Rodwell.
Though City did control the first-half possession-wise, they did allow the home side a couple of golden chances to level from a pair of set pieces but Suarez and Rusnak cleared off the line from headers.
For long stretches of the first-half Abdul Razak and Rodwell ran the show in midfield, linking up with the equally impressive Seko Fofana but clear chances to extend the lead were at a premium.
City had to wait until after the break to double their advantage and it was Rodwell who doubled his tally with a decisive thrash of his right boot from a neat Fofana back-heel on 51 minutes.
Two was nearly three a minute later when the England international showed great strength to muscle past Truelove to get through one-on-one but the Latics keeper came to the rescue.
It had been a relatively quiet first hour for Richards who had been getting vital minutes into his legs but he was not to be outdone by Rodwell's heroics, making a crucial diving header from under his own crossbar to maintain City's two-goal advantage.
City had to wait until 15 minutes from time for their third goal when Suarez danced through a couple of challenges and fired across the keeper to extend his fine recent scoring run.
The Spain under-20 international has now scored four goals in his last three games.
A good night was to get even better for the Blues eight minutes from time when Richards was clumsily bundled over in the penalty area to give Rodwell a chance for a hat-trick from 12 yards out.
Rodwell made no mistake, firing to the keeper's right with an unstoppable side-footed spot kick to claim the match ball before, more importantly, completing all 90 minutes unscathed.
City EDS are next in action away to Rochdale in the Lancashire Senior Cup on Friday.

Wilmington City Council Member Shabazz Celebrates with the Community as a New Eastside Collaborative is Created
Posted on 11/12/2013 1:00 pm
Ten organizations came together on Pine Street in Eastside Wilmington today to sign an historic Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) creating an Eastside Collaborative to restore prosperity to an area of the community bounded by 4th Street to 11th Street and Church Street to Walnut Street.
Wilmington City Council Member Hanifa Shabazz called the occasion "historic" saying she was extremely pleased to witness such an abundance of cooperation, creativity and excitement among citizens about what is ahead for this area.
Today's event, held at Central Baptist Church on Pine Street, marks the beginning of the implementation of the Eastside Blueprint Strategic Plan for community revitalization and housing stabilization. The plan was developed over the past four years with the help of the University of Delaware's Center for Community Research and Service and included input from scores of citizens and community agencies.
Eastside Blueprint is a planning team that was started in 2009 under the Federal Home Loan Banks Blueprint Community Program. The mission of the Blueprint Program is to unite citizens, public and private stakeholders, and community activists to revitalize communities by increasing home ownership, human services, public safety, entrepreneurship, and education to create a better place to live, learn, worship and work.
The MOU signing solidifies an on-going collective community goal of building, re-modeling or refurbishing of 125 homes as part of a five-phased plan for a portion of the community bounded by 7th and 10th Streets and Church and Pine Streets.
In addition, the MOU signatories, coming together under the banner of "Eastside Rising," are pledging to develop programs to create jobs, reduce unemployment, improve public safety and encourage entrepreneurial creativity and success.
Reverend Terrance Keeling of Central Baptist Church and Central Baptist Community Development Corporation (CDC) said the MOU marks the first step toward integrating four strategic goals of community empowerment, housing stabilization, improved community health and economic empowerment. Keeling said achievement of these goals will ultimately lead to a healthier and more stable mixed-income community on Wilmington's Eastside.
Central Baptist CDC, which serves as the implementation partner of the Eastside Blueprint Plan, is a 501(c)(3) Community Development Corporation founded in 2010 and located in the heart of Eastside. Its mission is to provide a structure for community interaction that encourages people to engage in the process of change, resulting in the physical, social and spiritual and physiological transformation of their community.
The organizations signing the MOU today include:
- Eastside Blueprint Planning Team
- Central Baptist Community Development Corporation
- Habitat for Humanity New Castle County
- Inter-Neighborhood Foundation
- Wilmington Housing Partnership
- Woodlawn Trustees Inc.
- American Baptist Churches PA/DEL
- Stepping Stones Community Federal Credit Union
- Delaware Community Reinvestment Act Council Inc.
- University of Delaware Center for Community Research and Service

ZF-4813: ignoreNoFile Not Going to Ignore Anything!
I found some similar issues, all marked as resolved, all outdated, none exactly referring to the code contained herein. This is not resolved in the current trunk [12317].
When setting a transfer adapter to ignoreNoFile, it will never listen:
Example: $uploader = $form->projectImage->getTransferAdapter(); $uploader->setOptions(array('ignoreNoFile' => true));
Here is the source of the problem, as far as I can tell:
Lines 97 & 98 of Zend_File_Transfer_Http.php [12266]:
if (!move_uploaded_file($content['tmp_name'], ($directory . $content['name']))) { if ($this->_options['ignoreNoFile']) {
The logic in the if statement will never evaluate to true as $this->_options['ignoreNoFile'] is always set to false, its default value. When using setOptions on a transfer adapter, it sets the passed options on each file. The values of the _options array are never changed. You can see this behavior where the options are set, on line 526 of Zend_File_Trasnfer_Abstract.php [12282]:
$this->_files[$key]['options'][$name] = (boolean) $value;
This fix seems to work
Change lines 98 of Zend_File_Transfer_Http.php [12266] to this:
if ($this->_files[$file]['options']['ignoreNoFile']) {
Thanks Tom!
Yes, you are right... This option has been reworked to work file based and not class wide. This one has been overseen while reworking the class.
Fixed with r12318. (thanks Tom)
Changing issues in preparation for the 1.7.0 release.

It's tough to picture the music fan who can look at the next four days and find nothing they want to check into. It's a wide-open selection of choices. So let's take a look:
The fun starts Thursday night with three distinct option. First up at The State Room for a return engagement, Lukas Nelson and The Promise of the Real bring their countryish, bluesy jams into town. Here's a live clip: See what you think (aside from the fact show talking is evil)
A really good reason to head for Park City awaits in Texas' Band of Heathens. These guys get compared to The Band (never a bad thing) and bring their own brand of twang and a batch of good lyrics. These guys are road warriors and well worth the drive to PC's Star Bar. It's a triple bill and starts at 9:30 p.m. Tickets remain on sale and are $12 in advance, $15 at the door.
And over at The Depot, '80s hitmaker Eddie Money rolls in. While many blanch at seeing nostalgia acts, here's thinking this show might be more fun than you'd suspect. If you grew up with a radio in your home, you'll know most of the songs - some by heart. Tickets are $30 at the door and it starts at 8 p.m.
Options are numerous on Friday: veteran punk-folker Michelle Shocked hits The State Room while the Baltimore indie folkers Wye Oak are over at Kilby Court. This bands gets regular airplay on KRCL and is a worthy listen. Wye Oak is touring behind its well-received album, "Civilian," released earlier this month.
One excellent option is over at The Woodshed when Missouri's Ha Ha Tonka rolls in. These country rockers are touring behind their strong release "Death of a Decade." If you haven't heard them, but like country-tinged rock, give this show a whirl. Tickets are $9 at the door. Check out Ha Ha Tonka singing "Carney Mountain" right here:
Country hit machines George Strait, Reba McEntire and Lee Ann Womack are at ESA on Saturday night. Tickets start at $48 and the music begins at 7 p.m.
If you like psychedelic rock, Japan's Acid Mothers Temple hits The Urban Lounge on Saturday. Something tells me this will be more fun than anyone expects it to be. Another good time awaits at The Saltair as Skrillex gets his electronic trance grooves on. This will likely be a dance party, in which SaltAir is as good a place to be as any, because you can almost never see the stage. Tickets start at $22 plus fees and are available at smithstix.com
Listen to their song "Kill Everybody" right here:

Iggy Azalea's days of "no money, no family, 16 in the middle of Miami" may be gone – replaced with runway shows and magazine spreads – but her past is far from forgotten. On her first full-length album, The New Classic, allusions to the struggle are sandwiched between cocky punchlines and personal anecdotes, leaving the listener inspired and empowered – something rare for any rapper, let alone a blonde girl from Australia.
Iggy has always struggled to find her niche, between rap, pop, EDM and reggae. She was, and still is, an outsider; She makes music for artsy kids and the club girls. Her spitfire persona flips between blonde bombshell and music nerd (with a big dollop of hustler swag thrown in), making her the perfect icon for wanna-be queens, drama kids, dreamers, and everyone in between. Her struggle was to find that core sound. Her rapping skills have always been on point (Iggy was the first female XXL freshman) but her production was missing that magical mass appeal her superstar lyrics deserved. The New Classic changes all that.

Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit play The State Room FridayDespite a slow start this week, even a cursory glance at the rest of June - starting with this weekend - shows the summer concert season will commence its annual blur during the next several weeks, just as it should.
The top picks this weekend are as follows:
Friday: Jason Isbell and the 400 Unit will play The State Room for the third time in three years (and SLC for the fourth time in four years). That seems like a lot, but these guys are always worth it. Isbell is touring behind his excellent release from earlier this year "Here We Rest." And while Isbell's other two solo releases are fine, I'm stoked to hear songs off this release. Tickets remain on sale and are available at www.thestateroomslc.org.
Saturday: Langhorne Slim and Samantha Crain bring their tour to The Urban Lounge for what should be an inspired night of indie rock. Langhorne Slim seems destined to become a bigger star in the not-so-distant future and this may the last chance to see him in such an intimate venue.
Sunday: In what will be the first actual Red Butte Garden show of the summer (The Moody Blues' May 29 gig was relocated to NuSkin Theatre at EnergySolutions Arena because of gas line repair work), Big Head Todd and The Monsters perform. But the real reason to go to this gig is the opener, reggae legends Toots and the Maytals. The weather should be dry, albeit a tad cool, but certainly manageable
Keep in mind, those are just the highlights: Other options include:
Black Country Communion features blues-rock guitar-slinger Joe Bonnamassa at The Depot. Tickets remain on sale for this show in what promises to be an evening of BCC originals, along with tasty covers from Zep and Deep Purple tunes. The band is fronted by former Deep Purple and Black Sabbath member Glenn Hughes and features drummer Jason Bonham, the son of Led Zep drummer John Bonham.
Also Friday, the charming pop duo of Dale Earnhardt Jr Jr. will be at Kilby Court for an all-ages show with tickets starting at $10.
And Saturday is a big deal if for no other reason than the Gallivan Center finally re-opens after its 2010 renovation. The downside? Former Live frontman Ed Kowalczyk is the headline act for this re-opening along with local rockers Royal Bliss. Folks of a certain age like myself probably heard Live's bigger-than-big '90s smash "Lightning Crashes," more than enough times to suffice for this lifetime - and maybe the hereafter, as well.
And for non-musical options, the Salt Lake Bees are in town this weekend for a weekend homestand against the Fresno Grizzlies. And over at the Green Pig on 400 South, they're having a grand opening party for its new patio. Should be a blast.

The goal, inspired by a sacred music festival where musicians from around the world played together without prior collaboration, was to create a worldwide cinema event where thousands of filmmakers would shoot film on Oct. 10, 2010 (10/10/10) during the same 24-hour period.
The footage was then edited and put together in a documentary film that will have a free screening during the Park City Film Series on Thursday, Oct. 11, in the Jim Santy Auditorium.
Park City resident Hunter Metcalf, who is on the Park City Film Series board of directors, is one of the contributing filmmakers for "One Day on Earth."
His piece is only about 10 seconds long, but is comprised of footage he shot of the late Jim Santy's memorial service.
"Jim was my band teacher when I was in elementary school and I thought the service would be the perfect thing for my footage, because I could show off Park City a little bit," Metcalf said. "And it would be able to give me something to remember Jim by."
Metcalf became involved with the project after nudged by a woman he knew while working with a nonprofit organization called Creative Vision Foundation.
"They promote creative activism from around the world and it was all based off an incident where a photographer for Reuters new service was killed in South Africa during one of the many military conflicts," Metcalf said.
Ruddick contacted Creative Vision Foundation seeking sponsorship and to help push his film forward.
"I didn't think too much of it, but got connected to take part," Metcalf said. "I didn't know what I was going to shoot, but when that day came, it turned out to be the memorial service for Jim Santy at the Eccles Center and I thought it would be perfect. "
Metcalf submitted his footage to Ruddick and promptly forgot about it.
"For six months, there was zero communication, which is understandable because they received more than 3,000 hours of footage, which takes quite a while to go through," he said. "Anyway, I got a note asking if I had the original footage because we want to use it in the film. So, I sent it to them, thinking 'Wow, out of 3,000 hours, they want to use my footage.'"
Like before, Metcalf didn't hear a word for a few months.
"Then I get another notice saying that my footage made the final cut," he said. "I come to find out that my clip, which mentions Jim by name is in the film. Needless to say, I was super stoked to be part of it and make the final cut."
After more months went by, Metcalf took the initiative and contacted Ruddick a few months ago to see if he was going to finish the film.
"I told him I was on the board of the Park City Film Series and I told him that we were putting together our calendar and that we would love to screen the film," he said. "And here we are today. It seems so fitting that the film will be screened in the Jim Santy Auditorium."
After seeing the film, Metcalf said he loves Ruddick's concept.
"In the final cut they are able to show how many incredible things are happening in a single minute of just one day," Metcalf said. "I mean, a lot of people who live here don't think about what's happening in Europe, or New York City or wherever it is. Not until you get to see this film that you see amazing things happen on a daily basis.
"It kind of shows us how even though we are different, we are very much the same," he said.
The Park City Film Series will present a free screening of Kyle Ruddick's "One Day on Earth" on Thursday, Oct. 11, in the Jim Santy Auditorium in the Park City Library and Education Center, 1255 Park Ave., at 7 p.m. For more information, visit www.parkcityfilmseries.com.

Full SubmissionEuropean Students? Forum Contribution to the Outcome Document United Nations Conference on Sustainable Development 2012 November 1, 2011 Focus and scope of the input to the Outcome Document AEGEE - Europe focuses its input on the shaping of a green economy and sustainable lifestyles. This document deals with a set of practical actions judged as required for a timely transition to a sustainable future for the planet Earth and its future generations. A variety of actors are involved in this process. These actors interact in a network structure. Below both actions and structure are treated and a number of interventions are recommended. Networked Institutions: inter-disciplinary, inter-ministerial, and inclusive decision-making Several inputs to the Outcome Document have asked for a better focus other than the ?Institutional framework? for sustainable development, which is argued to be overly general or unclear. We propose to focus on the decision-making tools and approach used within and across the institutional spheres of government, industry, university, and civil society. Regardless of the different institutional functions they have, there are common grounds for reforming their decision-making. This has implications in terms of network structure within and across these institutions. The process of deciding on future actions shall encompass the three pillars of sustainable development: economic, social and environmental sustainability. Accordingly, the indicators used to support decision-making need to include these three dimensions. For instance, ?Green Public Procurement? is developing new indicators to include environmental sustainability in the public procurement processes. These types of integrated measurements shall be diffused to other institutions and settings. Any organization specializing in such activities has a profitable advantage to exploit. Yet, in order for these measurement and practices to be widely diffused, the networks across different institutional spheres should be increasingly integrated in order to share practices and knowledge on the development and use of such indicators. Decision-making shall become increasingly networked. Collaboration and integration of knowledge perspectives are key to a knowledge-based world. This is because no single actors may have full access to necessary knowledge and resources for decision-making and implementation of programmes and actions. The three pillars of sustainable development are inherently different from a knowledge and socio-cultural perspective. These perspectives need to be integrated. Therefore decision apparatuses shall become more horizontal, inter-disciplinary, inter-ministerial, and inclusive of multiple stakeholders. How to enable these decisions on structural changes? Network analyses of decision-making relations should be increasingly adopted to foster more agile structures where information flows and decisions are taken more efficiently. This is all about surveying and visualizing networks within and across different institutions, so that interventions to increase the agility of these networks can be implemented. Network science and analytic tools are readily accessible and well developed for practical use. Connecting the disconnect between Youth Organizations and Companies "Youth will be one of my topmost priority in my second term as Secretary General for the next five years" (UN Secretary General, 2011). More than 50% of the world?s population is constituted by young people under the age of 30. This includes the current and future youth. More than a quarter of the world's population is aged 10 to 24 and accounts for 1.8 billion people (UNFPA 2011). Most of this young population is concentrated in developing countries. Policy-makers and civil society argue, to a different extent, that youth shall be the ?latest engine? of a green economy and active citizenship. Yet, young people at large currently play a marginal role in the building of a green economy. Youth are daily users of a range of products and services in developed as well as developing countries accounting for a large share of the so-called ?bottom of the pyramid?. The user role co-evolves with lifestyles which are one of the key drivers of current societies and economies. A green economy shall be built upon green lifestyles co-mingling with new patterns of product design and use. Young people are carriers of new lifestyles. They are able to think out of the box. They can be a source of innovation for establishing greener lifestyles and impulsing the transition to a green economy. The user experience, flexibility and creativity of young people may turn out to be a widely accessible resource to capitalize on. Youth organizations are increasingly interconnected worldwide and often tied to universities and public organizations locally. To different extents, they are also naturally connected with other organizations within the civil society. Yet, there is still a key disconnect between youth organizations and producers. Youth organizations may collaborate with companies adhering to the UN Global Compact and the World Business Council for Sustainable Development in order to identify new ways of using or adapting their products and services, and green needs these companies could satisfy. Networks of collaborations need to be established and backed with institutional support at the international, national and local level in order to provide legitimacy to their activities. The overall outcome is the collaborative shaping of new patterns of production and use, and the education of future generations to establish a greener society and economy. Training and incubation of social entrepreneurship and youth-led sustainable development are increasingly available within youth organizations and other civil society. Some inititiatives are also backed with the support of companies which recognize the potential of youth and their ideas. These trends need to be recognized and increasingly supported by International Organizations within the UN system and beyond. This institutionalizaation may generate further public and private funding of such kind of activities, and a higher connectivity among youth organizations and companies. Overall, the above considerations show a potential to be unleashed: the link between innovation and youth employment in the shaping of green economy and lifestyles. Economic and Tax-based incentives A system of economic and taxation-based incentives shall be created to support the transition to a green economy. This system is to be linked to both production and consumption patterns. Its first aim is to foster greater adoption of clean technologies, products, and services by making them more economically convenient vis-�-vis competing ones. Its second aim is to foster cleaner production by making ?environmental dumping? and carbon emissions expensive. The system could use an adaptive system that adjusts the levels of taxes and incentives by covering most of the budget required for the incentives via the environmental Tax revenues. This system would be highly beneficial on the market, as it would make environmental friendly products spread more easily among consumers. A deregulated market can only play a limited role in supporting the green economic revolution, if not adequately supported by an innovative fiscal system: even in the most advanced societies, early adopters account for a limited market share, and significant effects on the environment can be achieved only when the masses adopt the innovative and more environmental friendly solutions. The system would also have a beneficial effect on the production system, as it would cause a race among companies to continue technological innovation, to raise occupation in R&D and to increase efficiency and environmental compatibility of products, thus not waiting for the market to adjust to the available supply, but continuously driving innovation in a virtuous cycle. Certainly these measures are difficult to be set up. This is due to the tensions between environmentally-friendly incentives and free economic competition both on the consumption and production sides. These tensions are linked upstream to international trade and Foreign Direct Investments (FDI) flows and need to be fixed. This will result in increasing case-based law feeding the transition to green regulatory settings at the local, national and international levels. It is necessary for WTO law to move forward from the status quo. Carbon Tax A carbon Tax would be part of the needed policies, to implement worldwide, to readjust the panel of energy resources, and to internalize the environmental effects of production cycles. This becomes even more urgent given the on-going degradation of environmental conditions, and the need to act quickly on the market to rebalance the panel of resources used in energy production and other production cycles. Besides, a carbon Tax, together with the system of incentives described above, would reduce the consumption of new materials, and support an efficient system of reuse and recycling, reducing the need for landfills and the contamination of adjacent land and water resources. Reduction of greenhouse gas emissions It is necessary to define the imposed reductions in Greenhouse Gas Emissions and to respect such a plan. A plan for reducing greenhouse gas emissions should be architected, including a timeline with intermediate steps and a system of enforcement that are applied to countries that do not comply with this regulation. Energy efficiency A strategically important field includes the definition of standards for energy efficiency. It is necessary to define a system of legally-binding standards for energy efficiency in all fields: energy production and consumption, production cycles, heating and air conditioning, consumers? appliances, insulation of buildings, transportation, etc. Technologies that do not comply with the energy efficiency standards should be banned from the market. Energy efficiency standard should be revised no later than every 3 years to define the following steps and deadlines. Sustainable transportation Transportation on average accounts for one third of energy consumption and pollutant emissions worldwide, and is responsible for severe health damages to the world?s population. We ask to the current leaders a strong commitment to reorganize the transportation sector, and set up the basis for the long term investments that will ensure rebalancing the mode share for short and long distance travel, reducing the prevalence of private vehicles and other polluting means of transportation. To do this, we ask a strong commitment to give priority and to support the development of public transportation systems and reduce accessibility to destinations by cars. A possible way of financing the required investments in this sector would be the introduction of an ?environmental fee?, which could be set at 0.05$/liter which would be charged in every country, and that would generate significant revenues to be used entirely to finance investments in public transportation. Education An important role is associated with the definition of education programmes, to develop an environmentally-driven culture, and to understand that the creation of a better future, first of all, goes through the respect for the environment. These programmes need to be coupled with investments in the green economy. Further education, both formal and non-formal, should develop on the links between lifestyles, environmental protection, poverty eradication, and economic development. Support to research and development It necessary to prioritize funding for R&D aimed at advancing science and technology to the benefit of the three pillars of sustainable development. Research on systems (e.g. city, transportation, water cycle system etc.) should be increasingly funded, requiring higher inter-disciplinarity, coherently with the institutional structure proposed above.

The badge clip is working fine so far. The only drawback is that it is bulkier than the OE. So because I wanted to see if there was a more elegant solution I ordered both types of clips from countycomm (along with several other gadget gear knickknacks just to make it seem like the $8 for shipping was worthwhile ). I expect to evaluate them firsthand for use with the Clip+ later this week.
|[Remove Advertisement]
Replacement Clip Review
I received the two clips from countycomm. Here is the entire lineup including my badge strap clip shown alongside the Clip+.
Top Side
Back Side
From left to right are the countycomm SO-LED light (various LED colors available) with screw-on clip detached, Clip+ with original equipment clip detached, ID badge clip strap (top), NITE IZE self-locking clip (bottom).
Here they are in profile.
My Assessment
SO-LED clip.
At first glance this clip looks to be about the ideal size for the Clip+. However it is surprisingly heavy duty, which raises concerns.
The springs are quite strong considering it's intended purpose is only to hold a tiny flashlight that is significantly lighter than a Clip+. The rotating ratchet is also robust, so it takes a surprising amount of force to twist it from position to position. The "spec ops" design requirements apparently were to insure these babies will never fall off or break in the field.
The drawback I see for use with the Clip+ is that to withstand these spring forces and twisting torques it probably would need to be screwed onto the back of the Clip+ player the same way it is screwed to the LED flashlight. You might get away with epoxying it but I wouldn't count on it. So to use this with confidence you would probably need to drill a couple of holes in the back of your clip. Even then the back of the Clip+ may prove to be too thin to hold the screws securely or without breaking.
And there is another problem. See how the pivot rivet for the rotating mechanism protrudes from the back side of the clip?
This means you cannot fasten it directly to a flat surface. The SO-LED light has a concave hollow which provides room for this rivet. No such space on the back of a Clip+, so you would have to fashion some sort of spacer to provide clearance.
[edit]After sleeping on this I thought, "What about attaching this clip with double-sided tape? That would provide the clearance for the pivot." But after I took a second look at the mounting surface of the clip...
... I'm still skeptical. You can see there are only two small mounting surface areas surrounding the screw holes. I'm doubtful they would provide enough grip to handle the forces involved with using this clip.[/edit]
So my verdict for this clip is: Might work, but problematic.
NITE IZE Self-Locking clip.
This looks nice. At first glance it seems that the size also is just about right for the Clip+, but more on this below. Notice this isn't the type of clip you need to squeeze or compress to attach, rather it simply slips over a pocket or belt edge, then a self-adjusting, self-locking "grabber" (for lack of a better word) holds on. You press on the release lever when you want to detach the clip from whatever you've clipped it on.
It comes with pre-attached double-sided adhesive tape and and an alcohol pad for cleaning the surface you want to stick it to. I expect that mounting method would be plenty strong enough for a device as light as a Clip+. A potential drawback being: if you find you don't like it, it may be difficult to remove without damaging the back of your device.
Another drawback is that there is no flat surface to attach it to on Clip+ as it is manufactured. You would first have to grind or sand off the mounting posts from the original clip and at least part of the ridge that forms the original "clip-gripper".
Also the microphone hole would be covered by the mounting tape unless a small portion is removed before sticking to the player. Even with that work-around it's uncertain the microphone will perform normally.
My verdict for this clip is: Workable, but with reservations.
I started out expecting that either or both of the clips from countycomm would be more elegant solutions than my DIY badge strap clip. But after looking closely I see more disadvantages than advantages for use with the Clip+. They're both nice pieces, and with effort you could probably use either of them, but they simply are not ideal for this purpose. No better and with more drawbacks than the cheaper badge strap clip in my opinion.

I like the "scotch on the microsd slot" idea. Gonna put some on mine too, later.
Why not use something like a Dremmel with an abrasive attachment to shave-down the broken hinge, so it's flush with the back of the Clip+ before you stick the replacement clip on? It would look much neater and sit in the centre?
Wonder why Sansa didn't stay with the clip design from the original Clip? Those things were indestructible. My Clip is deceased...but I saved the clip from it, to use on something else......
The world's foremost expert....on my own opinion!
Actually, the original Clip clip seemed to have a tension crack issue, with SanDisk originally sending replacements to customers and later selling them in its online store.

It seemed to be a per case issue, not all of them. One of mine developed a little split just below the top slot of the back clip right over the spring. I just kept using it and it hasn't split completely yet. It's the one I use to workout most often so it's taken a pretty good beating across the last couple of years. I do clip mine to either my collar or a breast pocket not my belt. I've had had belt clips on stainless steel multi-tools snap off when attached to my belt so I wouldn't expect a plastic clip to hold up there.
It's a lot like the Clip+. Some people have no issues, others break fairly quick. In just about every post I've read everyone says they used it properly. Just looking at the plastic posts that holds the spring on the Clip+ it seems as if that were beefed up they wouldn't fail as often. The pictures I've seen it usually those that break not the clip itself.
A Glossary For Newbies Why Rockbox? FLAC or MP3? How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
Yeah, from the pics, it looks like the clip on the Clip+ would be more prone to break- those posts that hold the hinge pin are too thin- especially where the hole for the hinge goes through 'em.
Just examined my old Clip clip again....you're right Marvin- there is a little crack there- doesn't look like it'll spread or do any harm though.
I'm really thinking that no one seems to build a quality MP3 player designed to last. Virtually all seem to have non-user-replaceable batteries and other things which guarantee a short life. They need to change that. It seems everything these days is becoming disposable- but I like to buy things that last. I tend to keep things very long...even if they become obsolete. These players sound good today...they'll still sound good 5 or even 10 years from now...but they manufacture them to last (or so it seems) for only maybe 1-3 years...if you're lucky. (I was still using my first computer- bought in 1999 - 500Mhz, 10GB HD, 256Mhz RAMWin98 up until 2008!)

Necro post of the day
For the first time ever, I have broken a clip. My trusty two-year-old Clip+ broke on me last night.....had reached inside my coat to skip a track and right at that moment somebody bumped into that arm.
Now I'm debating.....attempt to attach something else, or sell this one to somebody and replace the entire unit? Decisions, decisions.....
iPod Touch 5G 32GB, Touch 4G 32GB, Clip Sport 8GB. Rockbox-> Clip Zip 4GB, iPod Nano 2G 4GB, iPod 5.5G 80GB

Ok, my clip broke a few months ago. Instead of complicating my life, I just took superattack and reattached the clip back. It's not the most functional solution, but it still works, permitting me to clip the player to most of my clothes.
I have used the self-locking clip for my Clip+ attaching it to a ground down back. I also use the self-locking clip on a Sony bluetooth stereo receiver because the original plastic alligator clip is too weak. As a replacement adhesive, I use both 3M clear mounting tape (Heavy duty) and foam mounting tape depending upon the application. The foam mounting tape comes in rolls the precise width of the self-locking clip.
These self-locking clips are very durable.
how i fixed my broken clip...
i stumbled onto this forum to get ideas when i broke mine. here's the solution i came up with...
i ordered a simple money clip from amazon for ~$5...
i dremel'ed off the excess plastic on the back so it was a flat surface and then super-glued the money clip to the back. the shape of this particular clip fits perfect as the little "lip" part wraps under the bottom edge giving extra support and it doesn't block the mic hole at the top edge. i also "spread" the clip a little before gluing on to make it less tight when slipping it over things like the edge of your waistband...
i also ordered this aftermarket rubber jacket for the clip...
which covers up the glue mess and makes it barely noticeable as a hack...
i've been using it like this for about 3 months now with no problems - it actually feels sturdier than the original clip! thanks to all on this thread for the inspiration. hope this helps someone else out there that has run into this problem. it's a great little mp3 player and i use it more than any other device.

Managing and Finding Group Rides
Submitted by Kris Thompson on
What a brilliant concept! A place where you can find group rides, routes, who's riding and when. In 90% of the USA this website is worthless because there is just that 1 ride going off in your area but in the Front Range there are more group rides heading out than there are riders in those "other places" in the USA. So how do you find a group to join? Just ride slowly out on a road until one passes you and you jump on. That method might work or you could waste a training ride being a wall flower on the road.
I like this concept so much that over a year ago (before I discovered this website) I was writing my own web application to do this very same thing. The app is pretty empty for our area so to make this work we need to start using it. Give it a test ride and tell us what you think. It's not quite like I was building mine but close enough.

It still seems pretty empty? Did you try it and the web site was confusing? Did it simply not work? Not what you are interested in?

Thanks for publishing the link to the site although I don't understand the "worthless" comment. The more people who use the site the more useful it will become. Big organized events have recently embraced the site but that is not the site's core mission. I truly don't think people know how to utilize the power the site offers; in particular the automated ride notification emails when rides are posted. Plus many other features. I am not sure how to bridge the education gap. I also think people are creatures of habit. I think a group of cyclists must get together and figure out how the site can help them manage their cycling life. Create a ride group. Subscribe to ride notifications via email. Post their group rides. Then I think the proverbial light bulb will turn on. Thanks again for posting. I appreciate the support. Rick, Head Cyclist, The Ride Connection

Johnny Klebitz
Marta is an Puerto Rican drug mule and friend of Elizabeta Torres that appears in two missions in The Lost and Damned.
In the mission Marta Full of Grace, Elizabeta sends Johnny Klebitz to pick up Marta from Francis International Airport in Dukes, as she is arriving with a large amount of cocaine hidden in her digestive tract. Unfortunately, a FIB fed discoveres what Marta is carrying and attempt to detain her, apparently to force her to give him blowjobs. After a shootout with the police, Johnny rescues Marta and takes her to Elizabeta's apartment.
She is again seen in the mission Shifting Weight, cooking in Elizabetha's kitchen. She offers Johnny some food, which he accepts, but doesn't get a chance to eat with Malc cutting in and stating the two need to leave.
Mission appearances
- The Lost and Damned
- Marta implies that she is a fan of the Liberty City Swingers baseball team, or minimally has knowledge of the team.
- Marta is poorly proficient in the English language, and as a result uses Spanish for much of her appearance, creating a language barrier that leaves Johnny largely clueless of her thoughts. Much like the Serbian used by Niko Bellic and his Serbian acquaintances, the game translates Marta's Spanish into English via subtitles if it is enabled.
- During one exchange of dialog between Johnny and Marta after their escape from the police in "Marta Full of Grace", she hints that she loves Elizabeta and met Elizabeta on a hot night in Puerto Rico where they had sex.(?)

7 Ways to Get Off the Waitlist
Find out how to get yourself off the waitlist and into your dream college.
Click on an item in the set below to see more info.
1. Buckle Down and Study Up
Maintain your senior grades. Some colleges will take into consideration mid-year grades and a great report card could sway their decision. Provide any other new information that is relevant to the admissions process.
2. Keep the Dialogue Flowing
Continue a dialogue with a college admissions representative via email or calling. The student needs to have direct communication with the college rather than a parent. It is much more effective for a student to express their own sincere interest.
3. Notify the School Know Of New Achievements
Update your file by writing a letter or an email. Use this space to discuss your most recent accomplishments that were not included on your original application and your ongoing interest in the college.
4. Show Your Depth
Writing one college essay is hard enough, but writing a new essay shows your commitment to the college. It allows you to discuss something new about yourself and to build upon the personality that you portrayed in the first essay.
5. Ask Your Teachers to Advocate For You
A new letter of recommendation, especially from a senior teacher, could show your dedication to your academics during a year when most students slack off. Everyone has a different opinion about you and a new letter could highlight a different aspect of your personality.
6. Revisit the School
Revisit the campus to express your vested interest in the college. Visiting the campus again also assures that it is your first choice.
The set is continued below.

Concerning the used Quark Scheduler i have two questions.
- Is the schedular mainly lock-free, such as intels TBB, to allow
'real' fine grain parallelism? Acctually i roughly debugged the code, and
saw alot of mutexes, so I was just wondering....
- What was the objective, not to use other available solutions, such as
OpenMP or TBB, which relies on a work-stealing concept?
thanks for any help,

By Gregg Bell
UW Director of Writing
SEATTLE – Chris Petersen didn't expect many starting positions to get resolved during his first spring practice as the Huskies' coach.
That makes Washington's quarterback situation at the end of the spring on schedule though indefinitely inconclusive: a status quo of Jeff Lindquist and Troy Williams as passers 1 and 1A and suspended Cyler Miles' status still to be determined "down the road."
The Huskies ended their 13th of 15 spring practices Tuesday morning in the same way they will likely end spring drills Saturday afternoon. They aren't much closer to knowing who will replace graduated record-setter Keith Price at quarterback this fall.
An investigative television news reporter made a rare visit to practice Tuesday for the spring's final morning drills. That meant a fresh round of questions on what may become of Miles. The presumed starting quarterback who replaced the injured Price in two games last season plus wide receiver Damore'ea Stringfellow remain suspended following an alleged assault near the UW campus in early February.
Miles has not been charged. The Seattle Times reports Stringfellow was charged with three gross misdemeanors and is scheduled for arraignment in King County District Court on Wednesday.
"Same as it's been since day one," Petersen said when asked about the status of his passers. "We've got two quarterbacks that are competing their tails off. And there's no change with Cyler right now."
"Despite the fact of Cyler not being charged?" Petersen was asked.
"Absolutely," the coach said.
When asked if Miles was still a part of the team, Petersen replied: "Right now he's not."
As for Stringfellow, "no change with him, either.
"We are always going to do the right thing by our program; I've said that from the start," Petersen said. "And so we are handling it internally, and we are going to do the right thing always …"
Asked when he will make a decision on Miles' status for the 2014 season, Petersen said: "Don't have that timetable yet."
The most pertinent question was the last one Petersen fielded on the matter. With Miles apparently missing all of spring practice — the final two sessions are Thursday night and Saturday — the coach was asked: "Is it safe to assume either Troy or Jeff will be your starting quarterback (this season), or will Cyler have a chance to win the job if he returns in the fall?"
"You know, we'll answer all those questions down the road for you guys here," Petersen said. "I don't want to go off and just answer partial 'this, that,' when we really haven't set everything with that.
"When I get that answer we will answer that for you guys."
Lindquist, from the Seattle suburb of Mercer Island, appeared late in three lopsided games last season but has yet to throw a pass in a college game. The redshirt sophomore threw a deep pass Tuesday to tight end Darrell Daniels for a touchdown on a remarkable catch by the converted wide receiver.
Daniels, who made the position switch last fall, is pushing to be Austin Seferian-Jenkins' replacement as UW's primary pass-catching tight end this fall.
"I saw it was open safeties," Lindquist said of the highlight play, "and Darrell is a freakin' stud."
Lindquist says his progress from the first spring practice to now has been "pretty large, for myself and everyone on the team getting comfortable with this new system and with the guys."
"Obviously we still have a long way to go," Lindquist said "We are 13 days into our new system."
Lindquist and Williams, a redshirt freshman from Los Angeles who set city league records there, again alternated with the starting offense throughout Tuesday's two-plus-hour practice. They have both benefited from the maximum repetitions they've received each practice day. Not only have they been running all the plays for the first-, second- and third-team offenses, they've been the only two doing quarterback coach Jonathan Smith's throwing, drop-back, scramble and even fumble-recovery drills.
"I think I have a pretty decent grasp of the playbook so far. For me it's getting to the point where I'm starting to just play," Lindquist said.
(Petersen has said he and Smith, the offensive coordinator, have installed about 50 percent of the playbook).
Petersen reiterated that there is evaluating going on every day. But given the fact the Huskies have just two quarterbacks using an entirely new system and calling a still-foreign language of formation, blocking and pass-route terms, this spring has been more about learning than evaluation and a determination about the two Dawgs at the most important and complex position on the field.
As Petersen said last weekend, there is no need to determine a starting quarterback right now. The opener at Hawaii is still 4 1/2 months away.
And, as the coach said Tuesday, Miles may or may not be back by then.
"I honestly think so far it's still been (about) being comfortable. We're still splitting reps," Lindquist said. "It's about getting better as a group, and as individuals. The competition aspect hasn't changed much. Still we are all trying to get better."
Petersen had a social-media guru address the team last weekend on being smart in that tricky, fast-paced, very-public arena. Petersen did not allow Boise State's players to be active on Twitter when he was leading the Broncos, but many Huskies have been for years.
"We are trying to educate them; that's our job," Petersen said. "We are still figuring that out, whether we can handle Twitter. But you take Twitter away and there are still five other things they can do.
"You know, it's the world we live in. I'm good if they are good. If they are not good it's going to go away. And so they've got to learn to do it correctly."
Asked if the players are on a short leash with their tweets, Petersen said, "I'm more optimistic than that, that we are going to get this right."
So will the so-far tweet-less coach himself join Twitter?
"That's a good question," Petersen said with a grin. "The only way I am doing that is for recruiting, so we will see."
INSIDE THE DAWGS: Smith was back with his wife in Boise, Idaho, awaiting the possible early birth of a child. That meant Petersen, a former quarterback at UC Davis, was drilling Lindquist and Williams individually for the first time on Tuesday. The head man joked he may have come off as too excited to his QBs, as if they were thinking "Easy coach, easy."... Petersen said again that Saturday's 1 p.m. spring game will be more like a final practice and less a full-on, simulated game. That's because of depth issues from nicked-up and sidelined players. The players and coaches will be available at 10 a.m. on the East Field for autographs and pictures. Both that fan fest and the final spring practice inside Husky Stadium are free and open to the public. … With Jesse Callier and Dwayne Washington getting over injuries and Deontae Cooper leaving practice early to attend class, redshirt freshmen Lavon Coleman and Ralph Kinne got first- and second-team time at tailback. … Redshirt freshman Keishawn Bierria got some more work with the first-team defense, at linebacker next to John Timu and Travis Feeney. Converted fullback Psalm Wooching was on the first defensive line, at end next to tackles Danny Shelton (new number 55 instead of 72) and Evan Hudson.

PCC in the News
News: Football Ends NNC Losing Streak, Edges Hancock, 19-17
(Santa Maria) -- It took the biggest defensive play of the season to take the monkey off the back of the 2013 Pasadena City College football team Saturday. With 1:18 left in the game, defensive back Dashon Wade hit Allan Hancock's Joel Enriquez just two yards short of the Lancers' end zone at the end of a 30-yard pass and run play. Wade recovered the ensuing fumble as PCC clinched a hard-fought, 19-17 victory at Righetti High.
The Lancers ended a 7-game losing streak this season, an 11-game on field losing streak dating back to last year, and a 13-game SCFA National Northern Conference losing string that dated back to 2011.
After the final whistle, the Lancers players dunked head coach Fred Fimbres with the contents of a gatorade jug in one of the few times in a long while that both players and coaches were able to celebrate a triumph.
"The freshmen didn't know what a win was until tonight, and the returning sophomores probably forgot the last time they got to leave a field victorious," Fimbres said. "We really earned this win, and we still needed a big play to not let it get away from us. We did good things on both sides of the ball, and I felt our defense was the biggest factor. We refused to let Hancock manhandle us. We pressured the quarterback, and we stopped them from making third down conversions."
PCC outgained Hancock on total yards, 377-354, and limited the Bulldogs to only four third-down conversions out of 15 opportunities.
The Lancers didn't take the lead for good until Ricardo Cardenas booted an 18-yard field goal with 6:31 left to play. The kick capped a 12-play, 75-yard drive for PCC highlighted by pass completions from quarterback Darrian Cazarin of 14 and 11 yards to receiver Marcus Green and a 33-yard throw to wide out Aries Pihi.
In the first half, PCC put togeher an impressive 20-play, 69-yard series that lasted 8 minutes, 24 seconds, but had to settle for a 22-yard field goal by Brian Sanchez. After Hancock took a 7-3 lead, the Lancers grabbed a 10-7 halftime lead when Cazarin's wounded duck throw fooled everyone but wide receiver Jake Holguin, who made a circus 33-yard touchdown catch with 1:16 left in the second quarter.
With 6:13 to go in the third quarter, Pasadena upped its lead to 16-7 on a nifty 12-yard TD run by Travion Boykins. Hancock, though, would come back with a field goal and then a 13-yard TD pass from quarterback Anthony Maez to receiver Shane Henderson, who made a spin move and deke to get through the final defenders and into the end zone. Marcus Uribe's extra point gave the Bulldogs a 17-16 lead just 2:29 into the fourth quarter.
On the final Hancock series, the Bulldogs entered PCC territory on three straight first-down passes by Maez and then a 17-yard run by the signal caller. He completed another throw to Enriquez, who raced down the sideline before Wade made his heroic game-saving play.
It capped a dominating defensive performance by Wade, who made a Lancers' season-high 17 tackles (11 solo). Lineman Dalyou Pierson added six tackles, and upped his sack total into double digits at 10.5 with his 10-yard takedown of Maez in the third quarter. Frank Denegal defended the pass well with three breakups (and four tackles).
On offense, Cazarin completed 17 of 33 passes for 232 yards and added 28 net yards rushing. Kitlo Meme led the Lancers in rushing for the second straight week with 69 yards in 16 carries while Boykins added 44 yards in five attempts.
The Lancers will take their bye week this coming Saturday before returning to action on Saturday, Nov. 9 when they face Ventura College in the Homecoming game. Kickoff is 6 p.m. at Robinson Stadium.

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Herbs
Herbs in a Swamp
by Kit Anderson
"Impossible." "Can't do it," said the experts, when Suzanne Cannon asked about growing herbs commercially in southern Louisiana. Too hot and humid, she was told, too much rain, soils are too soggy. But she was undaunted, and after ten years of experimenting she's running a thriving business selling herb vinegars.
"Suzanna's of Louisiana" proudly announces a large painted sign on the winding river road in Pointe Coupee Parish, 30 miles northwest of Baton Rouge. Beyond it are 25 raised beds bursting with culinary herbs. At one time, you could have looked back and seen the Mississippi River from here, but the levee, a huge serpentine mound that snakes through the flat landscape for hundreds of miles to prevent floods, looms instead.
Suzanne, an energetic woman in her late 30s, has become a local herb expert. Neighbors, doubtful at first about these green, weedy-looking plants, now come to admire the beds, a mix of colored foliage, bright flowers, and odd bits of sculpture. They've also taken to the vinegars. "One woman came in to buy six bottles of the Creole Mix," Suzanne told me. "It's the secret ingredient in her husband's catfish recipe."
How to Unwater
Most herbs are native to the dry Mediterranean climate, so Louisiana sends them into culture shock. Water rules here. It can rain up to 60 inches a year, occasionally in deluges of 12 inches in a single day. The water drenches the soil, sitting in swamps and bayous that cover thousands of acres, and saturates the air, which can be at 90 percent humidity for months on end.
"You can water, but you can't unwater," says Suzanne. "The books say to plant herbs in loamy soil," she adds, but when rain pounds down with relentless tropical intensity, it compacts loamy soil until the roots can't breathe. Besides, the topsoil had been scraped off the garden area when the house was built, leaving a cement-like silt bed. Drastic measures were obviously called for.
Suzanne first dug a drainage ditch around her half-acre garden area, then laid out a series of beds that measure nine by nine feet--the length of the railroad ties she uses as borders--by nine inches high. After cutting down the weeds, she put the ties in place, securing the corners with nails, and covered the ground with several layers of newspaper. In each bed she mixed three parts builder's sand and one part peat. (She tried river sand, but it contained too much silt, which slowed drainage and brought along weed seeds.)
To keep the summer sun's reflected heat from burning plant stems, she uses a lightweight mulch that won't sink in the sand, usually shredded pine, cypress bark, or pecan shells. When the winds are strong (this is hurricane country), the plants lean against decorative cypress knees she's rescued from the river.
