A recent article on the official WWE website speculated on whether Wade Barrett would reform The Nexus or Corre. An excerpt from the article is below:
Barrett has always been a natural leader, and many of his greatest successes corresponded with his role at the head of a likeminded group. If not Nexus, perhaps he could reunite The Corre or assemble a new group from other discontent Superstars on WWE's roster?
Barrett took to Twitter to reject the idea of reforming the core. His tweets are below:
I certainly wouldn't reform The Corre, Mr. Journalist. RT @wwe #WWE NEWS: Would Wade Barrett reform The Nexus? wwe.me/2si48q
— Wade Barrett (@WadeBarrett) September 20, 2012
In fact, 'The Corre' is my greatest regret in almost 9 years of wrestling at every level. I'd burn the history books if I could.

The renowned conductor Lorin Maazel passed away yesterday at the age of 84 from complications following pneumonia. The maestro's illness followed fatigue after spending much of the spring flying back and forth for performances in Asia, Europe, and North America. He died at his home in Castleton Farms, Virginia, where he had been preparing for his annual Castleton Music Festival.
Born in Paris on March 6, 1930, Maazel started his career as a musical prodigy. He began violin lessons at the age of five and conducting lessons at the age of seven. He performed in his first public violin concert at the age of eight. By the time he was fifteen, he had conducted most of the major American orchestras.
During his 75-year career, Maazel served as Artistic Director of the Deutsche Opera Berlin and general manager of the Vienna State Opera. He was also Music Director for orchestras around the globe including the Radio Symphony of Berlin, the Cleveland Orchestra, and the New York Philharmonic. He conducted 5,000 opera and concert performances and has made more than 300 recordings of orchestral works by composers such as Beethoven, Tchaikovsky, and Richard Strauss.
Over the past 15 years, the Maestro became a highly regarded composer. His first opera, based on George Orwell's novel "1984", premiered in 2005 at the Royal Opera House in Covent Garden. He also composed "Music for Violincello and Orchestra, Op. 10", commissioned by the renowned cellist Mstislav Rostropovich, and "Music for Flute and Orchestra, Op. 11" for flautist James Galway.
Maestro Maazel and his wife Dietlinde Turban-Maazel founded the Castleton Festival in 2009 at his Virginia farm. Since then, he has held annual summer performances and training sessions. His goal was to nurture young musicians through mentoring and performance, and to draw audiences to performances featuring young talent. On June 28, 2014, the opening night of the festival, Maazel told the audience that working with the young musicians was "more than a labor of love - a labor of joy."
Maazel is survived by daughters Anjali Maazel and Daria Maazel Steketee; son Ilann Maazel and daughter Fiona Maazel; his wife, Dietlinde, their sons Orson and Leslie, and their daughter Tara, and four grandchildren, Kiran, Owen, Calypso, and Sahara.

Peggy Noonan's article illustrated perfectly the definition of extremism:
It is astonishing and cannot go unremarked that Mississippi's Gov. Frank "Boo" Burnham, the conservative who won a 2011 landslide, gave an interview Friday in which he demonstrated all that is wrong in American politics—all its division, its intolerance, its ignorance and sickness. Burnham damned and removed from the rolls of the respectable everyone in his state who is pro-choice, who is for some form of gun control, and who supports gay marriage. In a radio interview marked by a tone of smug indignation and self-righteousness, Burnham said "extreme liberals" who are "for abortion, who hate guns, who want homosexuals to marry—if that's who they are they're the extreme liberals, they have no place in the state of Mississippi because that's not who Mississippians are."
That type of rhetoric, whether it's coming from conservatives or leftists, is simply inexcusable. It's divisive. It isn't solutions-oriented. It's a mindless ideological diatribe that resembles a 2-year-old's temper tantrum.
The thing is, that hissy fit is fictional:
I suppose I should note here, especially for those who haven't yet Googled Frank "Boo" Burnham and Mississippi, that there is no such person. I made him up to make a point.
The governor who threw the hissy fit is Andrew Cuomo, (D-NY). Here's what Gov. Cuomo actually said:
Which, in a radio interview with Susan Arbetter of WCNY's "The Capitol Pressroom," was this.
He was speaking about the state Republican Party, and of those of its members who do not support legislation they regard as liberal. "Who are they? Are they these extreme conservatives who are right-to-life, pro-assault-weapon, anti-gay? Is that who they are? Because if that's who they are and they're the extreme conservatives, they have no place in the state of New York, because that's not who New Yorkers are."
If George Will were to be asked for his take on Gov. Cuomo's diatribe, he might respond by saying "Well." It's worth noting that there are lots of devout Catholics in New York, many of whom are wealthy. There are tons of people living in upstate New York who actually believe that a) they have the constitutional right to protect their families and b) the right to life isn't something granted by politicians but is the most fundamental human right.
Gov. Cuomo's statements are shameful. They're beneath the office he holds. He sounds more like a punk than the governor of a once-great state. Imagine the New Yorkers who fit the description of the people Gov. Cuomo just vilified. Are they likely to help make New York a better place to live? Or are they more likely to start looking at moving to Florida, Texas, Georgia or North Carolina?
Gov. Cuomo's extremist diatribe won't hurt him politically but it will hurt New York economically. Most importantly, the state's population will continue shrinking.
That's how we'll know that Gov. Cuomo's diatribe negatively affected New York.

Over the past two seasons, Avon quarterback Justin O'Rourke was given ample playing time by coach Mike Elder. However, it was part of a platoon under center, as O'Rourke split time with Cody Schroeder.
In fact, as the 2010 season wound down and Avon made a run at a 10-0 season and Division II playoff berth, O'Rourke's snaps dwindled and Schroeder's went up.
This season, with Schroeder graduated, the job is finally 100 percent O'Rourke's.
"It's been a lot different this summer, especially since I've been splitting time with Cody for so long," O'Rourke said. "But so far it's been good.
"The experience from the last two seasons definitely helps a lot. It slows down the game, especially from how it was my sophomore year. The seniors that year showed me a lot about football, so I think I'll definitely be ready this year."
O'Rourke, a senior, will be running a highly efficient offense for a team that boasts 24 returning lettermen and a large senior class.
"He and Cody Schroeder split time 50-50 in 2009," Elder said. "Going into Justin's junior season, they battled. I thought Cody separated himself and won the job. Last season, Justin still played. They split it at a 3/1 ratio. We did that all season long.
"In our view, Justin O'Rourke is our returning starter. He didn't play as much as he wanted to, but he was playing behind a guy who got a football scholarship to California (Pa.) University, one of the top Division II programs in the country. We have a ton of confidence in what Justin can do in moving forward with him."
Quarterback coach Lee Powell said O'Rourke's experience from the past two seasons should only make him better and more prepared for this season.
"He's been seeing varsity speed, and that's a big thing," he said. "The speed is always surprising, no matter what you do in practice. He experienced the pregame jitters before, and that experience is going to be huge.
"Now, it's just a matter of going back to footwork, timing and practice. The game's not too big for him. He just gets a chance to play and have fun at it and not worry about the stakes being too big. That's his mentality."
Fellow senior and All-Ohio wide receiver Matt Eckhardt is confident the offense won't miss a beat.
"We'll be the same offensive team as last year," he said. "Justin can air it out, but we also can run the ball. Justin will fill Cody's spot, no problem. He's been there, and should fit right in full time."
O'Rourke was elected one of the team's captains, a role he's relishing.
"Definitely as a senior and a captain, I've just got to do what I'm supposed to be doing and get the guys going when they're down," he said. "I'm more of a leader by example, as anybody on my team will tell you.
"As a team overall, not just me as quarterback, we all have experience. We're all veterans. Our grade has definitely stepped it up, and hopefully the grades below us follow suit and do it, too."
O'Rourke gave a lot of credit to Elder and Powell.
"They've been great coaches," he said. "They have great chemistry with their players. It should be fun with them calling plays for me, that's for sure.
"We can put a lot more into the offense than before, because I've been here learning it, practicing it and playing in it for four years. I can play a lot of the other plays that we haven't run in the past, and hopefully that will help us put together a lot of scoring drives."
O'Rourke comes from a quarterbacking family. Older brothers Jason and Ryan were standouts at Avon and helped Justin work on his craft.
"They've encouraged me to get into football a lot more," he said. "They helped me out so much. They've had me doing quarterback drills since sixth grade. I have the advantage because of that, but that definitely got me into the game a lot more and into becoming a quarterback."
Powell coached all three brothers, and said they all have unique qualities.
"Each one of them has something different about them," he said. "Sometimes it's unfair to compare, especially since Ryan was so successful for four years.
"Jason was such a good athlete, too. To be honest with you, I don't even think of Ryan or Jason when I see Justin. He has his own style and his own skill set that sets him apart."
O'Rourke is an admitted "football junkie," who watches games when he's not playing and enjoys trying to beat his brothers at EA Sports video games NCAA Football and Madden.
He'd love to play in college, but hasn't started a serious search yet.
"I'm kind of not worried about it yet," he said. "I've got to finish this season out before I worry about the next one.
"It's a whole 'nother year. We've just got to take it game by game and worry about each week as it comes. We can't go back to last year and try to feed off of that."

Congratulations to our Music Faculty and Dean Dana Irgens for earning full accreditation by the National Association of Schools of Music Commission! This is rare for a community college and extremely telling of our amazing faculty and students.
Irondale High School teachers spent part of their professional development day at the Coon Rapids Campus on Nov. 21 to kick off a partnership with Anoka-Ramsey Community College. College students took the teachers on a tour as part of the session. Irondale High School is poised to offer an Early College High School program through which students can earn a two-year associate's degree for free — all while still enrolled in high school.
The Mounds View Public Schools Board approved an agreement in November and Irondale High School will launch the program next fall with academic foundation courses for ninth- and 10th-graders, with full implementation for all grades by 2014-2015. A form of the Early College High School program will eventually be expanded to Mounds View High School as well. For details, review click on the attached document.
Please join Vice President Mike Seymour for a discussion to review Anoka-Ramsey's FY12 Budget this Wednesday, Nov. 30.

Biology Faculty member Melanie Waite-Altringer and several of her students joined the Freshwater Society, Friends of the Minnesota Valley and other organizations Nov. 19 to clean-up of the watershed/river bank at Peninsula Park in Anoka.
The groups swept fallen leaves out of streets, parking lots and storm drains. For more information about this event and future events, visit this Freshwater Society Blog.
Great work, Melanie and teams!
I am so proud to announce the recent decision of the National Association of Schools of Music Commission to fully accredit Anoka-Ramsey's Music Department.
Music faculty worked diligently the last four years during the intensive process of self-study, program review, and documentation and, most importantly, collectively building a department that serves the needs of our students, acts as a very public face of our college and meets the stringent guidelines of this prestigious accrediting organization.
I am thankful to be a part of such a wonderful team.
I am pleased to announce that Anoka-Ramsey's Professional Training was recently awarded three new grants from the Minnesota Job Skills Partnership (MJSP) board. Steve Jones and Eric Staupe are the successful applicants and will serve as the grant managers. Our new grant awards are with the following business partners:
Since 1999 Anoka-Ramsey Community College has received more MJSP grants than any other institution, totaling 49 awards and nearly 9.5 million dollars in funding! These grants help our business partners grow and develop, while strengthening our economy and expanding the skills of Minnesota's workforce. Grant funding also provides Professional Training the opportunity to conduct research and develop new educational programs to meet emerging training needs.
Thank you, Steve and Eric, for your hard work and successful efforts!
Out of the entire outstanding faculty you work with at Anoka-Ramsey Community College, does one really stand out?
Please consider nominating that teacher for the 2012 Board of Trustees Teaching Excellence Award.
Nominations are being accepted locally for this state-wide program through Wednesday, Dec. 7. Visit the BoT Awards Nomination 2012 survey where you will be asked to identify the faculty member and write one or two sentences about his or her:
All nominations are due by Wednesday, Dec. 7. Anoka-Ramsey awardees will be announced by the end of fall semester, 2011. Thank you for taking the time to tell us about teachers who make a difference at the college.
Our Phi Theta Kappa and Student Nurses Association blood drive last week was a great success! In total we donated 83 units of blood. Our goal was 70 units to be collected.
Thank you for your support. The next blood drive is in April. We hope to see you there.
The Coon Rapids Campus chapter of Phi Theta Kappa is sponsoring a seasonal event and an ongoing service event open to all students, staff and faculty.
Phi Theta Kappa meetings are the first Wednesday of every month at 2 p.m. in Room B255.
For more information about these the activities noted here or about Phi Theta Kappa, contact David Corgan or Michelle Aldinger.
In an effort called, "Give Joy during Finals," Toys for Tots donations will be collected Dec. 9 through 16. Donations are especially needed for older kids, since poverty affects all age.
We want to emphasize that not just little kids need toys. All ages can suffer extreme poverty, and a gift for a 17-year old means as much, and sometimes more, than one to a seven-year-old. So remember the older kids this holiday season, and give the gift of joy for all ages!
Drop boxes will be located in the Courtyard Commons and near the Information Center on the second floor. All donations will brought to the KARE 11 News tent Monday, Dec. 19 in the afternoon. All students are welcome to join Phi Theta Kappa and KARE 11 for the festivities!

Yesterday the College was honored to host 2 master potters for a workshop in the VAC building. Over 200 people participated in the "standing room only" and "overflow rooms" to listen and observe Warren MacKenzie and Guillermo Cuellar. Participants came from Iowa, Wisconsin, and various parts of Minnesota for this opportunity.
Mark Lambert received a grant from the MN State Arts Board last summer to produce a documentary of 8 MN potters and to feature several of the artists at workshops here in November and another one at Normandale in February. In March there will be a documentary screening, plus, a Northern Clay Center Gallery Exhibition with an opening reception and gallery talks by the artists. More information will be forthcoming.
Great work, Mark!
I want to echo Rosie's remarks. This was a truly amazing event and a great opportunity to let the larger arts community to know about AR! Congrats and thanks to Mark. It made me proud to be a part of the Art Department staff.
I thank all that answered the help call about APA style writing. I have been able to find assistance on campus. I also wanted to thank all that attended and helped put together the last calendar year Diversity Lecture and Discussion events that featured John EchoHawk and The Winona Military Order of the Purple Hearts. They were both very good presentations. I have a list of Thank You's below:
Anyone who I may have forgotten, I apologize in advance.

I want to extend my deep appreciation for all service men and women who so bravely serve or have served our country. I also thank the families of veterans. Our nation is forever in your debt.
The Coon Rapids Campus recognized 17 new leaders among our student body by inducting them into Phi Theta Kappa, Nov. 9. These students are an inspiration to their fellow students and to us all.
Have you been driving to work and heard the Graduate Minnesota radio ad, or wondered why we have a flash on our website and campus monitors for adult learners, or read about the program in your local newspapers? Anoka-Ramsey Community College has joined the "Graduate Minnesota" campaign to urge former students to return to college to earn their degree.

We are launching the 2011 Campus Campaign!
Over the next month, faculty and staff will be asked to consider a gift to support scholarships for students. Last year faculty and staff from both campuses gave over a combined $25,330 to support scholarships.
During November, campaigners will contact you to ask for your support. Having followed the budget discussion at each of the faculty and staff development day presentations, I am keenly aware of the financial pressures we all face. In spite of that reality, faculty and staff on the Cambridge campus have consistently supported students and the campus.
Because of your, and others, support, last school year, we were able to disburse $206,200 to 248 students.
That $206,200 leverages many times that amount in tuition that is paid by the students. Clearly, not all of the recipients are going full time and not all would drop out without the scholarship, but in many cases, I believe it is the difference between attending or not. The impact of that $206,200 produces many thousands of additional dollars in tuition the college would not otherwise have.
On behalf of both the CCCC Foundation Board of Directors and the Coon Rapids Foundation Board of Directors, please accept our thanks and gratitude for all you do for students in the class room, in offices and around the campus!
If you have any questions, please contact me, Marc Johnson, via email or 763-422-6112.
On Wednesday, Nov. 30 at 11:30 a.m., I am hosting a discussion on immigration led by Salima Khakoo, CEO and managing attorney of American Dream Law, LLC. She spoke to my classes last spring, and both the students and I were impressed by her immense knowledge of immigration, both legal and illegal.
If you would be interested in encouraging your students to attend or attend yourselves, you are more than welcome! I have attached the flyer advertising the event as well.
The Office of Multiculturalism and Diversity and Student Life are co-sponsoring this event. I've noticed that most of my students seem very unaware of what legal immigration entails, and this is an eye-opener for many. Also, an important discussion to have right now as the media hype continues to confuse many people.

Cambridge Campus
Time: 10 to 11:30 a.m.
Time: 1:30 to 3 p.m.
Room: Legacy Room (SC270)

Guest Lecturer: John Echohawk
John Echohawk is one of the most influential lawyers in the U.S., a member of the Pawnee Nation and executive director of the Native American Rights Fund (NARF). NARF is an organization that provides legal representation and technical assistance to Indian tribes, organizations, and individuals across the U.S.
Echohawk, who has been recognized as one of the 100 most influential lawyers in America by the National Law Journal, created NARF 40 years ago with the mission of protecting Tribal sovereignty and resources, ensuring governmental accountability and educating the public about Indian issues.
Since its creation, NARF has worked with more than 250 tribes on legal issues including obtaining official tribal recognition; protecting tribal rights to hunt, fish, and use the water on their lands; uphold Native American religious freedom; assure the return of remains and burial goods from museums and historical societies for proper and dignified re-burial; and protecting voting rights of Native Americans.
Winona Military Share Vietnam War Experiences
Thursday Nov. 17, 2011
Guest Lecturers: Winona Military Order of the Purple Hearts
Members from the Winona chapter of the Military Order of the Purple Heart will share their experiences and adventures from the Vietnam War. Speakers include: Richard Lande-82nd Airborne Division, Infantry-Airborne Recon; David Meyers-1st Air Cavalry Division, Infantry & Heavy Weapons; Gene Barum-1st Infantry Division, Infantry-Airborne; Gordey Nelson-101st Airborne Division, Infantry-Medic and Arlyn Olson-25th Infantry Division, Infantry-Light Artillery.
By April 1965, President Johnson had sent the first 60,000 American troops to Vietnam. The number would escalate to 536,100 by the end of 1968. In the summer of 1965, under the command of General William Westmoreland, US forces executed their first major offensive operations against the Viet Cong and scored victories around Chu Lai (Operation Starlite) and in the Ia Drang Valley. This latter campaign was largely fought by the 1st Air Cavalry Division which pioneered the use of helicopters for high speed mobility on the battlefield. One out of every 10 Americans who served in Vietnam was a casualty; 58,169 were killed and 304,000 wounded out of 2.59 million who served. Although the percentage that died is similar to other wars, amputations or crippling wounds were 300% higher than in World War II. Approximately 75,000 Vietnam veterans are severely disabled.
The Military Order of the Purple Heart is a national organization open only to veterans wounded in battle. The goal of this organization is to bring wounded veterans and the soldiers who saved them together. The Winona chapter gives veterans the chance to commiserate, volunteer in the community and welcome back wounded soldiers with similar experiences.
The Purple Heart is one of the most unique U.S. Military awards. Though low in the order of precedence on the Pyramid of Honor, it is a widely recognized and respected medal that signifies sacrifice and represents a combat death or wound.
American Red Cross Blood Drive is Nov. 16, 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. in Coon Rapids Campus lower gym. Your help can save many lives.
Donation is not the only way. Talk to people, students, friends and co-workers to spread the word. The public is welcome to donate at the drive. There is another possibility of a life being saved with each additional person who is aware of the blood drive.
Lisa was a mother of two boys in the Twin Cities area. She was in her third pregnancy and finally having her baby girl. During labor Lisa started bleeding. It took 41 units of blood to save her life. The blood that she received was partly from the last Anoka-Ramsey Community College blood drive. You may have had a part in saving her life!
Blood cannot be made synthetically. It can only be donated. Pass the word and donate if possible. By doing your part you can save a life.

I wanted to express my appreciation for all who attended our Veterans Day events in Coon Rapids and Cambridge this week! It was so nice to see such a good turnout of students, staff, faculty, and community members to honor our Veterans and military men and women!
In addition, I want to thank the following individuals for assisting with the events…we couldn't make this happen without you. Your time and dedication are greatly appreciated!
Thank you again for your support! Have a wonderful holiday!
Hi Joyce,
One of our ushers, Violet Smith, left a heartfelt message about ushering last weekend. She appreciated being allowed the opportunity to usher. She went on to say that the play was excellent and she would've signed up to usher for each performance because the play was so wonderful and done so well. Just thought you might want to pass this along!
Hope you have a wonderful day,

Thanks to everyone who came to hear Dr. Fulton yesterday at our CTL gathering. Special thanks to Mary [Januschka] for her help.
On behalf of the Two Rivers Reading Series committee, I would like to thank Marcellus Davis and Michael Wall for their amazing work building community and celebrating diversity at Anoka-Ramsey by co-sponsoring three Two Rivers Reading Series events this fall.
On Tuesday, Oct. 4, we brought internationally famous Somali author Nurrudin Farah on campus. More than 150 staff, students, alumni, and faculty from both campuses attended the Farah presentation, and many stayed for the Somali buffet and informal discussion with Farah. The event ended with small and diverse group of students huddled around a table in an intimate conversation with the author, who shared his advice, wisdom, and opinions. It was a life-changing moment for many of these students.
On Wednesday, Oct. 12, Penumbra Theatre returned to our campus for a discussion/performance of African-American author August Wilson's Two Trains Running. We had great attendance with 170 people at the 1:00 presentation and 75 at the 2:00 presentation. Most students had studied the play in their classes and asked thoughtful and insightful questions that deepened their understanding of this complex play and the African-American experience in the late 1960s.
Perhaps the best of all was our trip to Penumbra Theatre in the Rondo neighborhood in St. Paul to see Two Trains Running. Student tickets were subsidized by a grant from the Multicultural Office, which made attending the performance possible for many cash-strapped students, and the Alumni Office organized a bus and carpools to the theatre and arranged for a delicious snack buffet. 122 people from Anoka-Ramsey enjoyed a pre-play social hour, the play, and a post-performance discussion with the actors. This off-campus field trip built community among staff, faculty, alumni, and students while educating us about history, race and the art of theatre.
Thanks to Michael and Marcellus, our behind-the-scenes magicians, for making these life-changing educational events take place at Anoka-Ramsey. We are grateful for their continued collaboration and cooperation.

Here is what some have said about his book:
""Robert Fulton's Legacy: The Belief in Immortality and the Logic of Culture" is a groundbreaking book that will challenge our beliefs in the complex subject of immortality."
"Thoughtfully researched and lucidly written, there will be a wide response not only from the academic community and the general public, but especially from those who are religiously attentive. It is a must read, a treasure-trove of compelling insight." --Rabbi Earl A. Grollman, DHL DD, author of "Living When a Loved One has Died"
Anoka-Ramsey's own Music Faculty member, Richard Joseph, will be performing a comprimario role and also in the chorus with Minnesota Opera in the world premiere of Silent Night by Kevin Puts at the Ordway Theatre, Saturday, Nov. 12 through Sunday Nov. 20.
Silent Night is based on the screenplay for Joyeux Noël by Christian Carion recounts the fascinating true story of peace during one of the bloodiest wars in human history. On World War I's western front, weapons are laid down when the Scottish, French and German officers defy their superiors and negotiate a Christmas Eve truce. Enemies become brothers as they come together to share Christmas and bury their dead. Acclaimed tenor William Burden stars as the soldier whose voice inspired peace among adversaries–if only for a day.

This film tells the compelling personal story behind one of the most important and landmark First Amendment cases in U.S. Supreme Court history, the case that set the foundation for the separation of church and state in public schools. The film recounts what Vasti McCollum later described as "three years of headlines, headaches, and hatred," but which eventually led to a decision that still resonates in the church-state conflicts of today, 60 years after the original decision in McCollum vs. Board of Education. This movie is a follow up to the book with the same title The Lord is Not On Trial Here Today. This book will be the featured book in the September Multicultural Perspectives Book Series.

August Scholar-Athlete: Hayley Haagsma
August 15, 2013
By Kayla Curry
Senior Texas Tech soccer player Hayley Haagsma has her goals set high to finish out her college career even stronger than it started.
Haagsma's goal for her senior year is to bring home a Big 12 trophy.
"Winning the Big 12," Haagsma said, "would be the cherry on top to all the hard work that this senior class has put in this year and over the last 3 years."
Texas Tech's head soccer coach Tom Stone agrees that this would be a great way to end the season, and he is confident with the girls on his team, especially Haagsma.
"We have some of the best students on campus," Stone said, "and Hayley is certainly is one of our best."
Haagsma is known as one of the best because she not only excels on the soccer field, but she also excels in the classroom.
She is able to perform at a high level because of the work ethic that was instilled in her at a young age.
"I feel like my work ethic in the classroom came from seeing my sister go through," Haagsma said, "and doing so well and just family competition. I was always trying to do as well as she did."
This healthy competition eventually led to Haagsma having a work ethic that resulted in her earning the prestigious honor of senior class salutatorian at Valley Christian High School in Cerritos, Calif.
"It's something I can look back on and be proud of," Haagsma said. "It gave me the foundation for academics for college."
Haagsma set such a strong foundation for college that she was one of only seven Big 12 athletes to obtain a 4.0 GPA in the spring of 2013.
She said she was completely unaware of the fact that she had achieved such a great honor because her GPA isn't her main focus.
"I don't focus on a set number," Haagsma said, still in shock from the great news. "I just always make sure I'm doing the best that I can so I can achieve the goal I've had since I've been in elementary school, of becoming a nurse."
Haagsma logged a team-high 2,032 minutes in 2012 as well as being named to the Capital One Academic All-District Team after securing 4.0 GPA in Human Development and Family Studies.
Stone said it is Haagsma's strict personality that allows her to be successful with both aspects of her life.
"Hayley doesn't allow anything to slip in her life," Stone said. "She's a bit of a perfectionist, so it's not a surprise that she's great in school."
Haagsma credits her success to her faith and the support system she has around her.
"One of the most important things to me is my faith," Haagsma said. "I've been really fortunate to find a team, a coaching staff and some friends that share that same faith as me. It's so much easier to live your faith out when you have that around you. It makes you better."
Stone believes that whatever the reason Haagsma has already left a lasting mark on the Texas Tech soccer program.
"We couldn't ask for a whole lot more from her," Stone said, "so she's going to be almost impossible to replace."

Gardening Articles: Edibles :: Vegetables
Starting Eggplant, Pepper, and Okra Seeds Indoors
by National Gardening Association Editors
Unless you live in the Deep South or Southwest, you won't want to sow your pepper or eggplant seeds directly into the ground. Most gardeners in these regions prefer either to buy transplants or start their own indoors for outdoor planting when the weather and the ground have warmed enough.
Starting Up With Okra
Okra has a reputation for being hard to transplant and because it doesn't require a very long season, many gardeners will sow their okra seeds right in the ground at the proper time. But if you want to and are willing to take a little extra care of the long taproot or main root that okra develops, you can successfully transplant this crop.
Some Basics On Starting Seed Indoors
It's very easy to grow your own transplants, and growing your own gives you the freedom to pick your own varieties. It also lets you make sure the plants get the best care right from the start.
To grow your own transplants, all you need is:
- Sterilized soil or potting mix;
- Suitable containers such as peat pots, flats, Jiffy 7's, milk cartons cut in half, or anything that will hold soil and provide good drainage;
- A place to put the seeds while they're germinating that provides a warm, even temperature - bottom heat is especially important;
- Plenty of sunshine or grow lights;
- Seeds.
For good germination, make sure the container has holes for drainage. If excess water can't drain, your seeds will rot.
All your efforts can be ruined by damping off, a fungus disease that attacks the emerging seedlings, if you don't take steps to prevent it. The best preventive measures are to make sure your potting soil mix is sterile and that you don't overwater. Purchased soil and potting mixes usually are sterile. If you want to use your own garden soil, you can get rid of the fungus organisms and weed seeds by baking the soil in a shallow pan (like a cookie sheet), in a 200° F oven for about an hour. Don't do this when you're hungry; the smell is enough to make you lose your appetite. And don't try to sterilize soil in a microwave oven: you may damage the oven. Another way to prevent damping off is to treat the seeds with captan, which can be bought at a garden supply store. Be sure to follow the directions on the package.

Santi buzzing to be back
by SAFSee
Defender delighted by SoL return.
Santiago Vergini is buzzing to be back after returning to Sunderland on a season-long loan deal.
The Argentinian defender, who has been capped once by the 2014 World Cup finalists, returns to Wearside for a second spell having spent the latter stages of last season on loan at the Stadium of Light.
Speaking exclusively to safc.com, the defender thanked the club for the opportunity to return ahead of the 2014-15 Barclays Premier League season.
"Firstly I'm very thankful to the club for giving me this opportunity, I'm really happy to be here once again and I'm also very happy to see so many recognisable faces.
"I'm very keen to get started and join in with the rest of the squad ahead of the new season."
He added: "The feeling I've had here at this club has been very good, it is a big club and my whole focus is on contributing all I can."
Vergini, 26, made 14 appearances for the Black Cats during the 2013-14 campaign, and he will add further versatility to Gus Poyet's backline following the signings of Billy Jones and Patrick van Aanholt.
"I believe I can bring many things to the team, I am available for selection and I hope to be given game time.
"My natural position is centre-back but I also feel very comfortable playing on the right, so the challenge for me is to become part of the team.
"I will offer all I can so we can have a good season."

|Vandals Prepare for Carroll
MOSCOW, Idaho—The University of Idaho return to Memorial Gym on Tuesday after a three game road trip to face NAIA opponent Carroll College.
Idaho went 1-2 in last week's action, the lone win coming at Nevada. Idaho fell 59-55 to No. 20 Cal in the champoinship game of the Nugget Classic.
"We just have to put the loss behind us," head coach Jon Newlee said. "It was a tough loss for us. It was a great opportunity for us to beat a highly ranked team. We got to get back to the drawing board here and get focused for the three games we have this week and continue to get better before the WAC season starts."
Junior Stacey Barr totaled 51 points and 25 rebounds in the Vandals three games over the Thanksgiving holiday. Senior Alyssa Charlston added 44 points and 20 rebounds. In the win at Nevada Barr and Charlston combined for 51 of Idaho's 88 points.
Idaho holds a 3-0 series lead over Carroll. Idaho has never lost to the Saints, dating back to 1979. In their last match up the Vandals handed the Saints a 63-40 loss in December of 2011. Charlston recorded 22 points and Barr had 11 points off the bench. The Vandals shot 40.7 percent from the field and held Carroll to only 17 made field goals.
Tip-off is set for 6:00 p.m. PT.

SANTA ROSA BEACH- Local designers are busy preparing for the first ever South Walton Fashion Week coming up in October. Organizers say the multi-day event will put the Emerald Coast on the map in the fashion world. Two rising stars, who've chosen to make South Walton the place they live and work, have key roles in the event.
Incredible success has come quickly for designer Stephanie Carter. Stephanie launched her first line, Judith March, in 2009. "I threw 22,648 garments into production not knowing if they would sell or not. January 2010 was our first show in New York, and then we went onto Atlanta, Dallas and Vegas," explained Stephanie. Today her designs are available in 1200 retail locations.
While you've probably heard of her DeJaVu boutiques, two are local, in Pier Park and Seaside, what you might not realize: her Southern Fashion House headquarters are here in Northwest Florida, in Santa Rosa Beach. "It's kind of like a big hen house, 87 women and 1 man. We house it here on Highway 393 and disburse all the clothing to all the stores. So this is our Southern Fashion House which houses DeJaVu, Judith March, and Jacque & Janice. And future brands that are coming up that are very exciting," said Stephanie.
For the first time Stephanie will be able to showcase her designs on a local runway. "We are so excited about South Walton Fashion Week. We are one of the exclusive runway show designers. It's nice to be able to be here and design things that represent the area and that you see and sell all over the United States, Puerto Rico, Mexico, Canada and Australia," said Stephanie.
Just a few miles down the road Nicole Paloma Rockhill is getting ready to launch into the couture arena from the South Walton Fashion Week runway. "I love textures, I use a lot of absence of color," explained Nicole. "Because my design studio is here in the store I love to hear what women have to say about their body and take that into account. To be able to flatter someone and make them feel beautiful... that is what it is all about," she said.
All of Nicole's designs are hand sewn. "It's my therapy, my passion, my love," said Nicole. "This community has embraced me and given me an opportunity that I could never be where I am now without it.
South Walton Fashion Week benefits the Cultural Arts Alliance of Walton County. The main events begin on October 11th through the 13th in Grand Boulevard's Town Center at Sandestin. Click on the link for a schedule and ticket information.

text: Porcelana is so named for the near white colour on its interior surface. However, the nibs are still of regular cacao colour. Originally called Maracaibo, Porcelana beans are one of the rarest cacao beans in the world. Once considered to be amongst the finest high-quality cacaos in the world, Porcelana is not very resistant to disease, resulting in the near extinction of certain varieties of the bean. The existing hybrids of the Mexican and Columbian varieties are inferior in quality. The prized Venezuelan variety however, with its distinct almond flavour, is used in the production of some of the highest quality chocolate bars distributed throughout the world. Porcelana bars are deemed one of the finest chocolate bars available upon the market and are produced by only the greatest chocolatiers in the business. In addition to the traditional almond flavour, Porcelana bars are also produced in strawberry, cream, and butterscotch flavours. Some of the producers of the fine and rare Porcelana bar include Pierre Marcolini, Domori, Amedei, and Valrhona.

Ending abortion does not just mean changing hearts and minds; it means changing laws and public policies. In two short, powerful brochures — in English and Spanish, Fr. Frank Pavone gives you what you need to talk about the relationship between the civil law and the moral law, and the responsibilities of public officials to defend human life. "Caesar Must Obey God" shows why public servants cannot kill the public they are called to serve, and "Religious Beliefs, Abortion, and the Law" gives the answer to the charge that we are imposing our beliefs on others. Don't miss out on these resources for yourself and your parish, especially at election time!

I'm trying to get the following working:
alias banana='emacs /usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/'
So i want to just type "banana firewall.cfg" to edit this file(/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects/firewall.cfg). If i type that, emacs opens two buffers, one for "/usr/local/nagios/etc/objects" in directory edit mode, and the other just as a blank second file called firewall.cfg, which is expected, and obviously the command "bananafirewall.cfg" doesn't work.
I've been scratching my head for a good 30 minutes. Is alias even the right command for this? I guess I could ln -s all these files to /root, but any other suggestions?

COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. -- Hannah Prigge is headed for the NCAA Championships after finishing second on the Platform on Saturday morning at the NCAA Zone E Diving Regionals at the Air Force Academy.
The senior from Rocklin, Calif., recorded a score of 280.55 to finish 12 points clear of third place.
"Hannah was perfect today," Fresno State diving coach Taryn Patrick said. "She remained relaxed and focused the entire meet and I could not be more proud of her. She fought until the end and proved she's one of the best platform divers out there."
Cal's Kahley Rowell won the meet with a score of 304.
Prigge will now take her place among the nation's elite next weekend at the NCAA Championships in Minneapolis, Minn.
