Ki Tetzei
"And you see among the captives a woman of fair appearance, and you desire her and want her for a wife, then you shall bring her home to your house" Deuteronomy 21: 11-12
V Ki Tetsei concentrates on the rights of the disadvantaged who must be afforded dignity and protection. Women, orphans, slaves - even hanged criminals - fall into this category.
The sidrah opens with the laws concerning the treatment of a vulnerable victim with no rights at all: a female captive. It was apparently impossible to forbid the taking of female captives in war. But she must be left to mourn her family unmolested.
Flushed with the success of victory, man may well confuse human spoils with what he feels he is due in a moment of testosterone-fuelled triumph. If, after a month, her captor still desires her, he may marry her, but if not, he must set her free. She must be neither sold nor treated as a slave.
In Chapter 24, we read of divorce laws with the assumption that the man is the initiator. The rabbis state that whatever the motivation for a divorce, a wife cannot be thrown out casually.
She must be freed with dignity, protection and no thought of revenge or interference later. After all, as Maimonides reminds us, women are not "captives".
Maimonides also writes: "If a woman says, 'My husband is repulsive to me, and I cannot live with him', the husband is compelled to divorce her, because she is not like a captive woman, that she should be forced to consort with a man whom she hates."
But the sidrah makes it clear that even captives are not just captives! The legislation surrounding women captives and divorce laws are connected in their acknowledgement that human beings cannot be discarded on a whim without protection.

The United Kingdom has seen numerous Internet casinos and online texas hold em websites such as Ladbrokes and Victor Chandler leave Britain in search of more favorable taxation. Many of these companies have fled to Gibraltar, Costa Rica, and Malta since they are taxed less, or not at all in some cases. So the UK is attempting to create a more level playing field where all online casinos are taxed the same regardless of whether they're based offshore or in Britain.
One of the steps that the UK is taking to make this vision a reality is white-listing; this process involves approving gambling companies for the rights to advertise their services in England as well as adjusting taxation laws to get Internet casinos back in their country.
One roadblock in their attempts to lure companies back is the requirements set forth by the European Union with regards to online gambling. The EU has rules in place calling for high taxes on gambling companies, and other measures making it difficult for these businesses to operate in countries that frown upon Internet gambling such as Germany and Holland.
Event still, the UK is adamant about putting a plan in place that will make Britain's tax laws more in accord with offshore gambling safe havens. Sports Minister Gerry Sutcliffe is currently reviewing a list of recommendations so he can come up with a complete plan. Besides lower taxes, one of the recommendations he is currently reviewing involves English professional sports leagues, which want a share of the gambling profits being made by betting on their sports.
As for the other issues he's reviewing, Sutcliffe has yet to release this information, but he has stated the plan will include plenty of measures to make the UK a more attractive place for gambling companies to operate from.

College Hockey:Scrivens Stops 22 as Cornell Blanks Harvard
Nash has two assists
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. — Cornell needed just 30 seconds of offense to stymie league rival Harvard, 3-0, posting two quick goals midway through the second period to keep pace with co-league leader Yale for the ECAC title.
"I thought when we got our hands on the puck we played with a lot of poise throughout the course of the night," Cornell coach Mike Schafer said. "It was a good performance."
Big Red winger Tyler Roeszler lit the lamp first with a wrist shot from low in the circle that beat Crimson netminder Kyle Richter stick side at 10:14 in the middle frame.
Just seconds after Roeszler's game-winning tally, winger Colin Greening and center Riley Nash created an opportunity for an insurance goal by crashing the net down low. Defenseman Kier Ross one-timed a quick pass across the doorstep from Nash to put the Big Red up 2-0 at 10:39 in the second period.
The first period was reminiscent of Harvard's opening frame against Union, another top-ranked league foe. Just as in the Crimson's victory over the Dutchmen last Saturday, Harvard contained Cornell's offense early. Other than four minutes on the penalty kill — where Cornell made more than half its first period attempts — Harvard restricted the Big Red to just five even-strength shots on goal.
"Our penalty kill kind of dropped off a little bit," Schafer said. "We got back to details tonight. Our best penalty killer is Ben [Scrivens]. When you do get through there, he is such a rock back there and he does a great job."
Both teams had chances in the first period, but superior goaltending by both Richter and Scrivens held the game scoreless through the first 20 minutes of play.
Greening was gunning for his 13th goal of the season nearly five minutes into the first period when he picked up a failed dump in the neutral zone, but was stoned by Richter on a one-on-one rush.
Cornell also squandered an early scoring opportunity when Richter stoned Big Red defender Brendan Nash's slap shot from the point midway through the first period, but left a rebound loose near the crease on which the Big Red could not capitalize.
Harvard's best chance came at the five-minute mark, with Crimson winger Conor Morrison screening Scrivens at the crease. With Scrivens beat, center Doug Rogers fired a shot from the slot that, had it not bounced off of Morrison's skate, would have gotten Harvard on the board.
The Crimson offense however, barely registered a pulse in the second period, notching only two shots on goal in comparison to Cornell's 10 attempts. The Crimson started the second period with an almost four-minute man-advantage, but could not get through the Big Red's defense. In fact, it took Harvard nearly 13 minutes to even test Scrivens in the middle frame.
"We put ourselves behind the eight-ball with a poor second period," Harvard coach Ted Donato said. "They pretty much shut us down in their end and were able to control the puck in our zone. With a team that is that defensively sound and that type of goaltender, it's a tough hill to climb."
With a two-goal lead, Cornell, a perennial defensive powerhouse, went on lockdown. The Big Red manhandled the Crimson offense, including stoning winger Alex Killorn's quick shot from the slot with five minutes to go in the second period.
A reinvigorated Harvard squad took the ice in the third period, posting 14 shots on goal in comparison to Cornell's five attempts.
"They made it difficult for us to get to the net," Donato said. "They blocked a ton of shots. I thought in the third period, we battled through and were able to get some more pucks to the net, but they are a very sound team in a lot of areas."
Four minutes into the final frame, winger Alex Fallstrom carried a wraparound behind the net and tried to stuff it past Scrivens. Killorn was similarly stymied when he bounced a shot from the circle on the doorstep which was scooped up by Scrivens.
Cornell center Blake Gallagher potted an empty-netter at 1:49 to seal the game 3-0.
The Big Red defense, which is ranked second in the nation and allows only 2.12 goals per game, held Harvard to a season low of 22 shots on goal and ensured Cornell's 67th victory over its ECAC rival.
With the win, the Big Red also notched its first shutout of the Crimson since a 2-0 blanking of Harvard in 2004, its first victory in Bright Hockey Center in almost five years, and a win for Schafer in his 500th game as head coach.

OXFORD, Miss. – In a match that lasted till 2:22 a.m. CT, the No. 9 Mississippi State men's tennis squad (16-9, 6-6 SEC) fell in a heartbreaking loss to the No. 11 Kentucky Wildcats (20-10, 6-6 SEC) 4-2 in the second round of the 2013 SEC Championship.
Doubles proved to be a crucial point in the match, as the Wildcats just edged out the Bulldogs with wins on courts one and three. UK struck first, as the duo of Juan Pablo Murra and Anthony Rossi defeated MSU's Romain Bogaerts and Zach White 8-5. However, State evened the score when the tandem of Pedro Dumont and Ethan Wilkinson downed the UK team of Ryuji Hirooka and Beck Pennington 8-5.
The doubles point came down to court one, where the No. 10 MSU duo of Jordan Angus and Malte Stropp went toe-to-toe with the No. 9 UK team of Tom Jomby and Kevin Lai. Down 8-7, the Bulldog team fought off four match points to force a tiebreaker at the top spot, but the Wildcats would prevail, taking the match and the doubles point 9-8(4).
In singles, State would need four victories to take the match and advance to quarterfinal play. UK upped their lead to 2-0 when No. 21 Jomby defeated a tough 55th-ranked Malte Stropp on court two 6-3, 6-4. MSU then answered back when senior James Chaudry defeated UK's Charles Minc 6-1, 6-3 on court three to bring State within one.
At the top spot, UK's No. 17 Rossi downed MSU's No. 12 Bogaerts 6-3, 7-5 tp bring the Wildcats within one of victory. State once again answered, as freshman Angus defeated Kentucky's Lai 6-3, 6-2 at the No. 4 position.
The deciding match came at the No. 5 spot, where MSU's White battled UK's Pennington. In a back and forth first set, White earned the first break to go up 6-5, but Pennington broke back to force a tiebreaker. The two continued to battle in the tiebreak, but Pennington fought off White to take the first set 7-6(7). Pennington rode the momentum of the first set win to take the match 7-6(7), 6-0, clinching the match for the Wildcats.
Play at the No. 6 spot was suspended, with MSU's Dumont leading UK's Murra 6-1, 5-3.
State will now await word on the 2013 NCAA Championships, which begin May 10-12 with first and second round action. The Maroon and White expect to earn their 22nd NCAA bid all-time and are in position to be selected as one of the 16 hosts for first and second round play for the second year in a row. The selections will be announced April 30.

Reviews for Santa Fe Skillet
"I thought this was very good. I changed it a little because we dontcare for spicey food. I used taco seasoning instead of chilli powder. DeleatedtheCheyenne pepper and added a can of fiesta corn.i served tortilla chips with it and it made an easy weeknight supper"
"I make this with ground venison, use kraft spiral mac and cheese, and change the diced tomatoes to Ro*tel, original. Spices it up real nice. And I like spicey."
"It was ok. A little to salty for our tastes."
"It was too spicey for our taste. Maybe just half of the salsa and no chili powder would be a good starting place."
"The sodium content of this is about 1/2 of a whole day's recommended allowance. Use low or no-sodium diced tomatoes out the 1/2 tsp salt, low fat cheese & sour cream will go a long way to making this a healthier meal."

It's been more than 30 years since "Little House on the Prairie" ended its nine-season primetime run, but the classic NBC drama's key cast members turned up on Wednesday's edition of "The Today Show." And not so surprisingly, the questioning turned to the possibility of a full-fledged "Little House on the Prairie" TV reunion.
On Tuesday, Today.com posted a teaser about the reunion of the popular 1970s drama, promising that several of show's original cast members would return for a "Today Show" segment. "Eight cast members are all going to be here, including Melissa Gilbert," Hoda Kotb announced on Tuesday. "And remember evil Nellie? Evil Nellie is coming too."
In addition to Gilbert and Alison Arngrim (who played mean girl Nellie Olsen), the "Today Show" reunion included Karen Grassle (Ma Ingalls), Melissa Sue Anderson (Mary Ingalls), Lindsay Greenbush (Carrie Ingalls), Matthew Laborteaux (Albert Ingalls), Dean Butler (Almanzo Wilder), and Michael Landon Jr.
During the segment, Grassle revealed she had tears in her eyes when she saw a clip from the show: "I'm sitting here with these three daughters, really, for the first time since [Michael Landon's] funeral," she said. Landon, who played patriarch Charles Ingalls and served as executive producer of the series, passed away in 1991 after a battle with pancreatic cancer.
The 'Little House" cast members touted Landon's work ethic and the fact that he set work hours to ensure that all of the cast and crew could be home by 6:00 each night to have dinner with their families, a practice that's unheard of these days.
Sadly, several other core members of the "Little House" cast have passed away, leaving the prospect of a reunion show in question. Victor French, who played family friend Mr. Edwards, died in 1989 from lung cancer, while Merlin Olsen (farmer Jonathan Garvey on the series) died in 2010. Actor Richard Bull, who played rich mercantile owner Nels Oleson, died earlier this year after being hospitalized with pneumonia.
When asked if the cast would consider getting together again for a TV reunion show, Gilbert quickly put the idea to rest: "There's so many of us missing now," she said. "It would be so strange for us."
On a Q &A on her official website, Gilbert previously revealed, "There are no plans to do a 'Little House' reunion at this time. We wanted to but the man who owns the rights wouldn't give us permission."

A lot of non-parents seem to think taking care of pets is similar to having children. No no no. No.
I started a new semester at school today and my professor was running through the syllabis and explaining absences. She went on to say "I understand some of you have children at home, but come on. I have a brand new 10 week old doberman puppy at home. If I can be here- you can."
I think this did not go over well as most of us are older women and we all glanced around at each other awkwardly. She brought up later in the class about keeping phones off, and mentioned how refreshing it is to travel somewhere without it. That's when someone yelled out "pfft, yeah! that's because you don't have kids!"
She seemed like an educated woman otherwise (obviously or else she wouldn't be a professor!) I just can't believe she'd make that connection that owning a puppy must be the same as having kids.

Morgan Bojorquez was hit by a pitch to force in the game-winning run with two outs in the bottom of the ninth inning as No. 6 seed Louisville defeated No. 2 Houston, 6-5, to oust the Cougars from the Conference USA Baseball Championship on Thursday afternoon at Zephyr Field.
Louisville will play the loser of the South Florida-Southern Miss game on Saturday at 9 a.m.
Houston built a 5-1 lead through five innings, but the Cardinals chipped away. Trailing 5-4 entering their final at bat, Louisville catcher Fernando Isa collected an infield single and was sacrificed to second. A walk to pinch-hitter J.T. LaFountain was followed by a sharp ground-out which advanced both runners. The Cougars opted to intentionally walk Adam Haley to load the bases for third baseman Mike Budak. Budak looked at three straight balls before taking a strike. The next pitch was low and outside, walking Budak and forcing in the tying run.
"It's tough [to take pitches with the bases loaded and the game on the line]," Budak said. "He threw me a 3-1 curve, but I was taking all the way. I was going to wait until 3-2 when he would have to give me a fast ball. It's the greatest feeling to win like this. Our team showed a lot of character to stay in the game like we did." The win came one batter later, when Bojorquez was plunked with a 1-0 breaking ball, scoring LaFountain with the winning run. Houston, which lost in the opening round to Southern Miss, opened the scoring in the first. Leadoff man Michael Bourn singled, stole second and advanced to third on an errant throw to second from Isa before scoring on a sacrifice fly by third baseman Hyung Cho, giving the Cougars a 1-0 lead.
Louisville tied things up in the bottom of the third when shortstop Adam Haley singled home center fielder Mike Hook, making it 1-1.
The Cougars put up a three-spot in the top of the fourth on an RBI
single by DH Jared Green, a sacrifice fly to left off the bat of left
fielder Gabe Lucas and another RBI single by first baseman Thanos
Papavasiliou. The lead was increased to 5-1 with another unearned run in
the fifth on an RBI single by right fielder Keith Whatley.
The Cardinals edged closer in the bottom of the sixth with a pair of runs. Haley singled through the right side with one out, moved to third on a double down the left field line by Budak, and they both scored on a double to center by Bojorquez. The double by Budak was his 21st on the season, tying for the fourth best single-season effort in school history.
A solo home run to left field by Budak in the eighth made it a one run ballgame in favor of Houston, 5-4.

March 12, 2012
ORANGE PARK, Fla. -The East Carolina women's golf team captured its fourth Top 3 finish of the 2011-12 season claiming third at the JMU Eagle Landing Invitational. The three-day, 54-hole tournament, which was hosted by James Madison, was played at the Eagle Landing Golf Club at Oakleaf Plantation (Par 72 / 6,286 yards) in Orange Park, Fla.

South Florida led from wire-to-wire, holding off a late charge by Maryland to win with a 19-over 883, as one of just four teams to break 300 on the final day with an 11-over 299. The Terrapins were three shots back at 22-over 886 after a 13-over 301. Campbell shot a 7-over 295 and finished fourth at 29-over 893, while Illinois rounded out the top five squads at 36-over 900.
The Pirates (70-31) were led by freshman Katie Kirk, who shot a personal-best 1-over 217 in the tournament to claim a share of fifth place. Senior Amy Otteson recorded her 20th career Top 20 finish after posting a 6-over 222 and tied for 15th. Sophomore Fanny Wolte moved up 10 spots on the final day carding a 2-over 74 to finish tied for 27th place (227). Rounding out the Pirates roster were freshman Emily Eng (14-over/232) and Faith Hardison (19-over/235) who finished tied for 40th and 59th.
Playing as individuals for the Pirates were senior Julia Strandberg, who finished 39th with 13-over 229, and freshman Devan Murphy (99th/ 38-over/ 254).
Kaylin Yost of Campbell led through all three rounds and took home tournament medalist honors at 1-under 215, defeating Stetson's Alex Buelow, Juliet Vongphoumy of Maryland and South Florida's Shena Yang by one shot. Buelow had the low round of the final day with a 4-under 68.
ECU returned to the course on Mon.-Tue., March 19-20 at the 2012 Pinehurst Challenge, which will be hosted by the College of Charleston. The two-day, 54-hole event will be played at the Pinehurst Resort No. 7 in Pinehurst, N.C.

Nine Marks of a Healthy Church (Mark Dever)
Nine Marks of a Healthy Church
by Mark Dever
Wheaton: Crossway Books, 2000. pp. 255.
Reviewed by Michael J. Vlach
In his book, Nine Marks of a Healthy Church, Mark Dever, senior pastor of Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington D.C., sets forth what he believes to be the marks of a healthy church. The book, itself, is based on a series of sermons that Dever, a Southern Baptist minister, preached to his church.
As the title of his book indicates, Dever's work is about the church. The book, however, "is not a full ecclesiology" (10). Dever does not intend to give a purely doctrinal explanation of the church. Instead, his stated purpose is to "speak to some marks that set off healthy churches from true but more sickly ones" (10). His work, then, is more prescriptive than descriptive in regard to the church.
According to Dever, many churches today are unhealthy. They are in a sickly state because they have been influenced by cultural factors such as neopaganism, secularization, and pragmatism (12). In addition, he believes that most Protestant churches, whether liberal, seeker-sensitive, or traditional, have accepted secular standards of success, including the exaltation of numbers and the emphasis on techniques (10).
In light of these dismal conditions that characterize many churches, Dever presents what he believes to be a biblical plan for establishing and sustaining healthy churches. Though lacking an exact title for his paradigm, Dever explains what he believes churches need to be:
Simply put, we need churches that are self-consciously distinct from the culture. We need churches in which the key indicator of success is not evident results but persevering faithfulness. We need churches that help us recover those aspects of Christianity that are distinct from the world, and that unite us (14).
What, then, are the characteristics that Dever believes are necessary for a healthy church? He gives nine marks. Mark one of a healthy church is expositional preaching. According to Dever, expositional preaching is "that preaching which takes for the point of a sermon the point of a particular passage of Scripture" (26). Dever believes that expositional preaching is "far and away the most important" of all the marks (25). In fact, he asserts that if churches would get this first mark right, all of the other marks he mentions would naturally follow.
According to Dever, the second mark of a healthy church is a commitment to a biblical theology that seeks to understand God's character and His ways (46). Dever says that the main story line of the Bible that must be taught in our churches includes five elements. They are: (1) God is creating; (2) God is holy; (3) God is faithful; (4) God is loving; and (5) God is sovereign.
The third mark is the Gospel, which is the message of salvation based on Jesus Christ. The Gospel message, according to Dever, must be understood in the contexts of man's sin, God's holiness, and the person and work of Jesus Christ. The Gospel message is not simply that we are all okay, nor is it only that God is love. To Dever, salvation occurs when a person realizes that his sin has offended a holy God and he casts himself upon the mercy of God and believes in Jesus Christ. This is no 'easy-believism' or mere 'mental assent.' Saving faith, according to Dever, consists of repentance and faith, which Dever considers to be two sides of the same coin (78).
With his fourth mark, Dever discusses the necessity of conversion. All men are totally lost in sin, he says, but true change is possible (88). True change is not found in secular methods or self-effort. True inner change takes place when a person places his faith in Jesus Christ and is born again. Jesus gives the person who believes in Him a new heart and He brings radical change to that person's life. This conversion, though, does not mean sinless perfection according to Dever. Though we are converted, we still struggle with sin. Nevertheless, a great change has taken place for the true believer.
Dever's fifth mark is evangelism. Here, he calls on all who rightly name the name of Christ to share the good news of salvation that is found in Christ. He states that evangelism is not the act of converting people but is simply telling them the saving message of Christ (123). Where there is a faithful and accurate presentation of the Gospel, evangelism has taken place. This obligation to evangelize is not optional but mandatory. Neither does it ultimately matter that our culture frowns on those who promote their views as superior to the views of others. According to Dever, evangelism is a charge that all Christians are commanded to keep no matter what the political or social climate may be.
The sixth mark of a healthy church is active membership in a local church. Dever asserts that church membership must be more than simply being on a church member list or just attending worship services. Dever believes that many professing Christians have adopted a lone-ranger, individualistic mindset that is resistant to serious commitment. He counters this trend toward individualism by calling on church members to sign a church covenant and to commit to regular church meetings and services along with regular giving and praying. He wants Christians to "join" and commit to a church, not just "attend" a church.
Biblical church discipline is Dever's seventh, and, perhaps, most controversial and least followed mark. Dever asserts, with strong scriptural support, that churches must enforce church discipline to keep the purity of the body and hopefully restore confessing Christians who are involved in unrepentant, sinful behavior. He believes that for the good of the churches, "we need to make it harder to join and we need to be better at excluding people" (156). In his section on church discipline, Dever, himself, appeals directly to Baptist churches of the past. He notes that, "disciplinary actions were a substantial part of the business at member's meetings of Baptist churches in the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries" (164). Dever also points to a statistic showing that Southern Baptist churches, in pre-Civil War days, excommunicated nearly two percent of their members every year (165).
Dever's eighth mark is a concern for discipleship and spiritual growth. Here, he refers to more than just numerical growth, but spiritual growth. Dever is convinced that if the previous seven marks are operating fully, a church will see spiritual growth in its congregation.
Biblical church leadership is Dever's ninth and final mark. He asserts that there are five aspects of church leadership: (1) its congregational context; (2) its biblical qualifications; (3) its charismatic nature (i.e. spiritual gifts); (4) its Christlikeness; and (5) its relationship to God's nature and character. One interesting part of Dever's chapter on church leadership is his discussion about elders. Though not espousing a formal "elder rule" form of government, Dever believes there are benefits of having recognized elders in the congregation and notes that, "there is a growing trend to go back to this biblical office" (215). He also notes that, "Elders could be found in the Baptist churches in America throughout the eighteenth and into the nineteenth century" (214).
At the end of the book, Dever offers three appendices. In the first, he gives four characteristics that pastors should cultivate to help bring change to their churches. These four characteristics include being truthful, trustful, positive, and particular. Appendix two gives a list of what other Christian leaders have suggested as remedies to the problems of the local church. In appendix three, Dever gives a list of helpful books that complement the nine marks that he mentions in his book.
Overall Evaluation
Dever's book is an excellent work that would benefit every Christian-pastor and layperson alike. He rightly points out that the church, as a whole, has capitulated to the culture in many areas. Dever's call for expository preaching, active church membership, and church discipline, is especially needed today.
Dever is thoroughly biblical in his assertions and practical in his examples. The fact that this book is based on sermons he preached at his church adds to the practical nature of the book. We highly recommend it.

I'm watching Law & Order: Criminal Intent, and as usual, actor Vincent D'Onofrio is mumbling. Or I think he's mumbling. What's definite is that his lines are all lost on me.
"What did he say?" I ask my husband for not the first time this evening.
"Shhhh! I just missed an important plot point!" he snaps.
Yeah, well, that makes two of us, pal.
At the end of the show, he says, "Would you please get your hearing checked?"
Nope, I will not. Even though this scenario seems to be occurring more frequently—at movies, parties, plays and even at work—I tell myself my hearing is not that bad. I tell myself the problem lies with everyone else—all those people who refuse to speak up and enunciate properly. But the real reason I refuse to see an audiologist is that I will not wear a hearing aid, thank you very much. Only old people wear those, and that just doesn't jibe with my self-image. I know I'm no teenager, but I'm too vain to accept looking like someone's grammy. It's bad enough I wear trifocal glasses to see and sensible shoes to protect my knees. Add in hearing aids and you might as well park me on the front porch in a rocking chair and call it a day.
I'm not the only one who needs to turn up the volume: A new study from the nonprofit EAR Foundation found that people ages 40 to 59 are losing their hearing at faster rates than previous generations, presumably because we were the first to grow up with rock and roll and to use listening devices with in-ear headphones.
But even though hearing loss is becoming much more common, a lot of us are in denial. Of the more than 34 million Americans who suffer from some form of impairment, about 75 percent choose not to get hearing aids, says Sergei Kochkin, PhD, executive director of the Better Hearing Institute. Even those who do eventually seek help are stalling: People often wait several years between the time they first suspect hearing loss and when they do something about it, says Susan Erler, PhD, coordinator of the Doctor of Audiology program at Northwestern University.
This means many midlife women are operating with faulty information. "I always assume I hear things right and go on," says Jennifer Truitt, 45, of Campbell, California. She's sticking to that story, even after embarrassing herself at a family dinner, when her 20-year-old stepson mentioned having read that dogs could smell one part in a million. "I said I didn't understand how a dog could smell one fart in a million," she says. Oops.
While hearing-loss denial sometimes results in comical stories like Truitt's, it can also take a huge toll on personal relationships and quality of life. When the National Council on the Aging surveyed hearing-impaired adults ages 50 or older, those with untreated hearing loss were more likely to report depression, anxiety and paranoia than those who wore hearing aids.
That's partly because auditory problems can lead to isolation. Case in point: Before giving in and getting hearing aids, Elizabeth Pace, 50, of Brentwood, Tennessee, struggled in social situations. "People didn't understand that I didn't understand them. I needed to have things repeated a lot. If a friend was talking behind me, I didn't hear her. When people talked with their hands in front of their mouths, I wanted to slap their hands. My husband got irritated because I had to turn up the TV volume so loud. I avoided certain situations—for example, I didn't go to movies as much as I would have liked because it was too difficult to hear them."
Gaye Simmons, 54, a chef in Manhattan Beach, California, concurs: "Losing your hearing takes you out of society. I miss subtleties of conversations. I just nod and smile, and hope that's an appropriate response."
Work takes a hit too: According to Kochkin of the Better Hearing Institute, people with untreated hearing loss make $23,000 less annually in their jobs than those with normal hearing because they don't get promoted or receive raises. "It's inadvertent discrimination, because bosses are not aware of the hearing loss. They just think the person isn't so sharp. If you are going to be competitive in the workplace, you have to deal with your hearing impairment," he says.
It was the fear of losing her job in public relations and grant administration that finally prodded Kendal Miller, 48, of Dillsboro, Indiana, to get hearing aids. "With cutbacks so prevalent, I didn't want my record suggesting I wasn't doing my job very well when I might just have missed hearing what needed to be done."
Many women who delay dealing with their problem don't realize how much hearing aids have improved in the past decade. Now benefiting from digital technology, the newer instruments are almost invisible, don't whistle (give feedback), do stay in place when you move around a lot and have sound quality superior to the old versions. People used to complain that their hearing aid couldn't filter ambient sound, which makes it hard to follow conversations in noisy environments, but many hearing aids now allow the wearer to switch between picking up all sounds and picking up only those that come from one particular direction.
Hearing aids come in four types: in the ear (ITE), meaning a shell fills the outer ear; behind the ear (BTE), meaning the device fits in back of the ear; in the canal (ITC), meaning the device sits in the outer part of the ear canal, and completely in the canal (CIC), meaning the device is placed inside the ear. The aids that are most concealed and therefore look the best are CIC and the mini-BTEs with nearly invisible tubing; they also have some amplification advantages. The mini-BTE improves the sound of your own voice because it doesn't plug up your ear canal; it also has directional microphones that may improve your ability to understand speech in a noisy room. The CIC increases your ability to detect where sounds originate and may work better on the phone because it is deep inside your ear canal. "What is best for you depends on your degree of hearing loss, your manual dexterity, how comfortable each style feels and which look you prefer," Kochkin says.
Federal regulations require that you have a medical exam before you buy a hearing aid. When visiting your family physician, ask for a referral to an audiologist certified by the American-Speech-Language-Hearing Association, an otolaryngologist (American Academy of Otolaryngology–Head and Neck Surgery) or a hearing instrument specialist. You need a specialist because hearing aids must be custom-fit and finely calibrated to your specific condition. Don't get suckered by come-ons for free screenings or by salespeople who promote only one kind or brand of hearing aid.
The bad news is that hearing aids are quite pricey—the cost ranges from $300 to $3,000—though some health insurance providers do cover them. (Medicare covers physician-ordered diagnostic tests but not the aids themselves.) Screening fees and optional add-ons such as remote controls can up the cost considerably. To avoid getting stuck with expensive duds, make sure the hearing aids you're considering come with a warranty and a trial period.
There are also nonprofits that can provide financial help or access to refurbished hearing aids: Contact the National Institute on Deafness and Other Communication Disorders Information Clearinghouse. For a comprehensive list of programs that may provide assistance, go to the Better Hearing Institute's Web site to download "Your Guide to Financial Assistance for Hearing Aids."
Women who finally give in and get hearing correction are delighted by the positive difference it makes in their lives. Elizabeth Pace says, "Hearing aids saved my life. I didn't realize how much stress and energy I was putting into just figuring out what people were saying." Notes Simmons, "After my appointment to get fitted, I felt so excited. I feel like I am finally getting back into the game."

A little over a week since it was announced that Jennifer Lopez would be starring in a remake of the 1987 comedy Overboard, another Goldie Hawn remake is in the works. Anna Faris is set to star in new version of Private Benjamin.
The 1980 film, which was a career making film for Hawn, followed "a spoiled woman who joins the Army after her husband dies during sex on their wedding night." The updated version will be set in "contemporary times with modern wars as the backdrop." Wisely, the film won't make fun of those in the service or comment on any ongoing politics, "but rather focus on the empowerment elements and build on the fish-out-of-water comedy."
The film is currently set up at New Line who are also remaking the '80s comedy franchises National Lampoon's Vacation and Police Academy. Faris is set to shoot the comedy What's Your Number next. Filming gets underway in May and she will be co-starring with the new Captain America, Chris Evans.

AT&T Spills the iPhone MMS Beans, Ready for Friday's Launch
All you faithful iPhone users on AT&T's network that waited out until late summer in order to have access to Multimedia Messaging, you only have to wait another two days at the most. September 25 is the heavily-anticipated launch date for iPhone MMS, and it's just around the corner.
One great way we can tell it's just around the corner is that AT&T has officially announced to the world when during the day and how it will be achieved. The network is in the process of sending texts to all iPhone users that indicate a carrier update will be available in iTunes mid-day; more specifically, late morning for Pacific Time and early afternoon for Eastern.
Our only concern at this point is that millions of people across the country will be attempting to download the update at the same time Friday and inevitably will crash the system. So, please leave us a comment on how the process worked out for you. Are you going to wait until later, or can you hardly contain yourself as it is?

Yesterday Marco Rubio, the Senator of Florida, discussed with ABC that the human impact on climate change isn't as drastic as scientists are portraying it to be. He also says that, "[he does] not believe that there are actions that we can take today that will have an impact on what's happening within our climate."
Two things can be said here. The first is, that without a scientific background, Rubio is quite gutsy to challenge scientists without providing his own thorough scientific research to support it. The second thing to be said here, is that as Florida currently sits as one of the most vulnerable states to damage from rising sea levels, the senator must have a lot of conviction in his theory in order to press it.
As many people commonly state that stats and data can be manipulated to say anything, to Rubio's point, scientific reports on the human effect on climate change could theoretically be "exaggerated." In fact, A recent Gallup poll shows that one in four Americans believe that climate change is not a serious concern. Interestingly enough the poll also shows that 4 out of 10 scientists agree that global warming is not an issue, nor is it an issue largely caused by humans.
Yet the Pentagon itself has acknowledged global warming, and is actively taking the necessary steps to create a plan to dissuade any chances of possible climate change disasters. Whether the argument holds true or exaggerated isn't a debate that government institutions are discussing, as they continue to plan emergency systems "in the event of" a global warming disaster.
It is reported that Rubio helped to enact a carbon emissions cap bill in 2008 but has since "distanced himself." Many people who worked with Rubio on the bill have frequently called him a "flip flopper" on the topic. Rubio's current stance is that the pressure to create laws that protect against the slightest impact on climate change, is actually harming the economy. Little elaboration on the economic effect have been provided.
Where do you stand on the global climate change debate? Is it all exaggerated data and research?

Morgan Freeman Wants Legalization of Marijuana
*Make marijuana legal, is Morgan Freeman's cry. The 75-year-old actor chatted about his views regarding weed during an interview with Newsweek recently. "Marijuana! Heavens, oh yeah. It's just the stupidest law possible, given history," he lamented. "You don't stop people from doing what they want to do, so forget about making it unlawful. You're just … Continue reading Morgan Freeman Wants Legalization of Marijuana

The architect of the University at Albany football program, Bob Ford, established a legendary reputation with his positive attitude and a coaching philosophy that instilled loyalty among each member of his team and staff.
Ford served as UAlbany's only head coach since the program was reinstated after a 46-year absence from 1970 to 2013. He was appointed on April 27, 1970 and coached his final game on November 23, 2013. In that time, he compiled a 12-9-1 record in three seasons at the club level and a 41-season varsity record of 256-170. Including nine wins from his time as St. Lawrence's head coach, Ford's 265 career victories ranked first among active NCAA Division I college football head coaches and fourth on the all-time FCS chart. In addition, his UAlbany teams owned a 98-69 mark as a Division I FCS program.
Announcing at the program's media day on August 13th that he would retire at the end of the 2013 season, Ford (265-191-1) guided the Great Danes through UAlbany's 41st varsity season, the program's first year in the Colonial Athletic Association, and the first season at Bob Ford Field -- UAlbany's brand new $19 million stadium. While the Danes finished the season with a 1-11 overall record and 0-8 mark in the CAA, Ford laid the groundwork for UAlbany's future at the next level and began transitioning the team from 35 scholarships towards the FCS-max 63 scholarships. Under Ford's watch, junior running back Omar Osbourne headlined the team's postseason accolades, earning first team All-CAA honors. In addition, junior linebacker Christian Dorsey and senior defensive lineman Andrew Smith were named to the CAA's third team. Twenty players also earned CAA All-Academic honors.
In 2012, the Great Danes closed a 14-season chapter as an associate member of the Northeast Conference, compiling a 78-24 record in the tenure. In their last season competing in the NEC, Ford piloted UAlbany to its sixth Northeast Conference title with a 9-2 overall record and 7-1 league mark. The Great Danes ranked as high as No. 18 in the FCS Coaches Poll and No. 20 in the Sports Network Top-25, and tied the program's Division I record for wins in a season. In addition, nine Great Danes earned All-NEC honors, including six first-teamers. Senior Ryan Kirchner finished his career as UAlbany's all-time leading receiver with 172 career catches, while tailback Drew Smith closed his career as the program's all-time leading point scorer (270), touchdown scorer (45), and tied for most rushing touchdowns scored (40).
During the 2011 season, Coach Ford recorded his 250th career victory with a 38-10 win over Northeast Conference rival Duquesne, and was named the Northeast Conference Coach of the Year for the fourth time. Ford led the program to its first NCAA FCS postseason appearance, its first NCAA appearance in football since 1977, taking on Stony Brook in the first round of the FCS Playoffs. The Great Danes earned a share of their fifth Northeast Conference championship with 31-21 victory over Sacred Heart, and reached the eight-win plateau for the fourth time as a NCAA Division I FCS program. UAlbany placed eleven players on the 2011 All-Northeast Conference squad, led by defensive end Eddie Delaney, who was just the second UAlbany defensive lineman to be recognized on three occasions during a career.
The squad finished up the 2011 season ranked on two national polls, and was receiving votes in a third. The Great Danes were voted 23rd in the Football Championship Subdivision Coaches' Poll, and 21st in the Any Given Saturday FCS Poll. UAlbany was also receiving votes in the Sports Network Media Poll.
The Great Danes, who went 6-5 overall in 2010, established a school record with their fifth consecutive winning campaign. UAlbany posted a 7-4 record and finished second in the Northeast Conference standings the previous season. UAlbany also defeated No. 20 Maine, 20-16, the first victory over a national top-20 opponent since 2006.
In 2008, The Great Danes put together their second consecutive championship season with a NEC crown and a victory over Jacksonville in the Gridrion Classic. Ford's squad became the first NEC program to win the Gridiron postseason game. UAlbany finished with a 9-3 record, the most victories in a Division I FCS campaign. Ford, who was voted NEC coach of the year for the third time, led UAlbany to an undefeated league season for the second straight year. Tailback David McCarty, the school's career rushing leader, and offensive tackle Raphael Nguti were both chosen as All-Americans.
UAlbany also won the NEC championship in 2007, when Ford was named the conference's top coach. The Great Danes made their fifth postseason appearance in team history when they played Dayton for the FCS mid-major national title in the Gridiron Classic. UAlbany posted an 8-4 record, including a perfect 6-0 mark against league opposition.
Ford, who was honored at the 69th annual Maxwell Awards for recording his 200th career win at UAlbany on Nov. 5, 2005, has produced 12 All-America players and 140 all-conference selections at the FCS level. Nguti became the fourth Great Dane to be selected to the AFCA FCS All-America first team in 2008, joining J.T. Herfurth (2000), Geir Gudmundsen (2004) and Colin Disch (2006).
In 2003, UAlbany shared its second consecutive Northeast Conference crown by finishing in a tie for first place in the conference standings with a 7-4 overall mark. The Great Danes were fourth among the FCS Division I leaders in rushing, while tailback Gary Jones was named to the Associated Press All-America Team for the second time in his career.
The Great Danes put together one of their most celebrated seasons in 2002 by winning the program's first-ever Northeast Conference title and capping the year with a 24-0 upset of previously unbeaten Duquesne in the ECAC Division I-AA Football Classic. Ford, who directed his team to an 8-4 record, was named the NEC Coach of the Year. UAlbany placed 14 players on the all-conference squad.
Ford, who has served as president of the American Football Coaches Association, marched UAlbany to a 7-2 record in its inaugural campaign as a Division I-AA program in 1999. The Great Danes garnered seven wins in 2001, and finished among the conference's top teams for the third straight year.
As a Division II program, Ford led the Great Danes to their second consecutive Eastern Football Conference championship, an EFC Atlantic Division title, and a 10-1 record in 1998. He was named the conference's coach of the year for the second straight season. Ford also received the Gordon White-Herschel Nissenson Division II Coach of the Year Award by the Metropolitan New York Football Writers Association.
Ford coached his 1997 team to a school-record 11-1 mark and an EFC championship. For his efforts, he was named the Football Gazette Division II non-scholarship national Coach of the Year, and voted the top Region I coach by GTE and the American Football Coaches Association.
At one time, Ford was the youngest head football coach in the nation, when the 26-year-old took over the reins at St. Lawrence University in 1965. In his first season, he guided the Saints to an Independent Collegiate Athletic Conference (ICAC) title. He arrived in the Capital Region five years later to start the first gridiron squad at the University since 1924.
After three seasons at the club level, the program was upgraded to varsity status in 1973, and finished with a 7-2 record. One year later, the Great Danes completed the school's only undefeated season with a 9-0 mark.
Ford's 1977 team earned a NCAA Division III playoff berth. After a season-opening loss, the Great Danes rebounded with nine consecutive victories. UAlbany defeated Hampden-Sydney in a thrilling 51-45 contest to begin the postseason before losing to eventual national champion Widener in the semifinals.
In 1978, Coach Ford's mystique grew before a national audience on ABC television. His last-minute addition of a field goal kicker direct from the soccer team paid off in a victory over third-ranked Ithaca. Dario Arango kicked a 45-yard field goal in the last two minutes to provide a 9-6 victory.
In 1985, the Great Danes rallied from a three-touchdown deficit for a 33-21 victory over Plymouth State and the Eastern College Athletic Conference (ECAC) North championship. The '85 team, which produced one of the greatest comebacks in Ford's coaching career, boasted offensive and defensive units which were nationally ranked, and supported by five Pizza Hut and one Associated Press All-America players.
UAlbany's football program is also known for the high standards required of its coaching staff. Ford's "coaching factory" has allowed many of his assistants to earn their master's degrees while working at the collegiate level. More than 100 coaches, who have started their careers under Ford's tutelage, are currently employed with approximately 60 different high schools, colleges, and professional teams from around the nation and the world.
A starting quarterback in his senior year at Springfield College in Massachusetts, Ford was given the "Greatest Desire to Improve" Award by the school's athletic department. He received an undergraduate degree in physical education from Springfield in 1959, and later would earn his doctorate from the College in the same discipline. He gained a master's degree from St. Lawrence in educational administration in 1960.
Ford's first coaching opportunity came as an assistant at St. Lawrence in the fall of 1959. He then moved to Albright College in Pennsylvania as an assistant for four seasons, where he coached the secondary and offensive backfield, and was part of a program that produced a 21-game winning streak.
At Albright College, Ford also coached the wrestling and golf teams. He returned to Springfield in 1964 as a secondary coach, and later was named defensive coordinator at his alma mater in 1969.
Beginning in 1977, Ford was UAlbany's director of athletics for five years. During that time, he managed a program that sponsored 25 varsity sports for men and women.
A 1986 inductee into the Wachusett Regional High School Hall of Fame and a 2012 inductee into the Springfield College Hall of Fame, Ford is presently active in the National Football Foundation & Hall of Fame, and serves as vice president of the NFFCHF's Capital District Chapter. He was honored by that organization in 2000 with its Service to Football Award.
Ford, 76, has been a member of the American Football Coaches Association's Board of Trustees since 1994, and presently is serving on the AFCA's Division I FCS All-America Team Selection Committee. Ford received the New York State Athletic Administrators Distinguished Service Award in 2005 and was honored with the Skip Paradon Award for 2013 by the New York State High School Football Coaches Association.
In August of 2010, Ford was recognized by the National Football Foundation Capital District Hall of Fame with its Service to Football Award. Ford was previously presented by the UAlbany Alumni Association with its Citizen of the University Award in 2007, which recognizes outstanding contributions to the University by a non-alumnus or alumna through leadership, service or a special gift.
Ford and his wife, Donna, reside in the Capital Region. He has a daughter, Sherri Lee, son-in-law, Kevin, and two grandchildren, Aiden and Kyra.

I took them more as something that could be used as propaganda for the campaign," the veteran pollster said.

The Westing Game
by Ellen Raskin
The Westing Game Identity Quotes
How we cite our quotes: Citations follow this format: (Chapter.Paragraph)
Quote #7
Some are not who they say they are, and some are not who they seem to be. (7.67)
Well, that's a mouthful. Can't those things – seeming and saying – overlap, too? In fact, if it comes to identifying someone, it can be pretty tricky to figure out the difference between "who they say they are" and "who they seem to be." We'd like to add that some characters are pretending so hard to be other people that they don't even notice the difference.
Quote #8
"I am what I am. I don't need a crutch to get attention." (12.35)
When Turtle says this to Sydelle, she means it literally – Sydelle relies on literal crutches and the assumption of a limp to get people to feel sorry for her and pay attention to her. Turtle has a bad attitude about it because she thinks it's like cheating about your identity; as Turtle says, she is what she is. But as Angela will note, the idea of the crutch can also stand as a metaphor, and in that case, Turtle does rely on one. For more on this, see our section on "Symbols, Images, Allegory."
Quote #9
What would I have been if things had turned out differently? (18.71)
This is a question any of the characters could ask – really, it's a question any of us readers could ask too – but it's especially poignant coming from Chris, who will always be in a wheelchair. At this point in the novel, he's still imprisoned by his body, to the point where he can't always control his speech or his movements, and he worries that his medical condition has deprived him of the chance to create an identity that wouldn't suffer from these medical, physical, and financial burdens.

As all the post-Electronic Entertainment Expo content comes pouring in across the internet this week, we've noticed that one particular game is being overlooked by many. Hellraid, publisher/developer Techland's new first-person hack-and-slash, isn't exactly making major headlines, which is a shame because it looks truly promising.
So why is this little gem slipping everyone's mind? Probably because of its name. Seriously, Hellraid is not at all a compelling title. Even we have to admit we weren't exactly thrilled when we first heard about the game. Maybe Techland has a last minute change of heart and decides to rename it before it ships off to retail -- though we won't get our hopes up.
Nonetheless, we previewed a hands-off demo of Hellraid last week and it was actually quite impressive. Here are a few reasons why we think it's awesome:
Skyrim-esque combat...except better
If you're familiar with The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, then you'll immediately notice some significant similarities in gameplay between the 2011 hit and Hellraid. The swordplay looks almost identical, except the latter's surprisingly feels more fleshed out and engaging. This is mostly due to the dodge feature, which has the player quickly maneuvering across a level, avoiding attacks while placing well-timed strikes on their enemies. Skyrim has a dodge roll, but it's not nearly as reliable.
Another neat little feature is if both you and an enemy swing your weapons at the same time then the two instruments will clash (which is shown in the image above) and cancel the attacks. It's a small addition that really contributes to the immersion.
Other things like environmental kills are added, as well. There was a moment during the demonstration where the player kicked an enemy off a platform and followed it, jumping down from the platform and swinging their weapon to cut loose a chandelier which then fell on top of the enemy for the final blow.
Lots and lots of weapons
The presentation only lasted about 20 minutes or so, but that was enough for us to witness a ton of deadly weapons, ranging from melee to magic. Techland made it clear that finding and choosing the right equipment is central to the experience, however the weapons are randomly generated so there's also a bit of luck involved. And if players are thorough with their exploration, they might come across secret rooms housing tons of weapons and additional items that could prove useful in their journey.
Weapons were found laying or hidden all across the level we were shown, but some were also seized from fallen enemies. Certain enemies can even hold weapons containing different elemental magic. For example, the photo above shows a lighting staff, which was seen in our demo and obtained after our demonstrator killed a Lightening Skeleton.
Players could also craft weapons to create even more deadly instruments, though we haven't yet been able to see what the crafting system is like.
European folklore-inspired enemies
At one point during the demonstration we encountered a tall, goat-like creature holding a waraxe, called the Hircus, who the developer pointed out was based off European folklore. He then explained that many enemies in Hellraid are inspired by such mythology. Hopefully they're just as badass as Hircus.
Four player co-op
We'll compare Hellraid to Skyrim one more time. When we first jumped into Skyrim, the biggest complaint we had with the game was that it was restricted to a single-player only experience. We spent more than 100 hours in that game and we couldn't help but be upset that we weren't able to enjoy it with friends. Yes, we have The Elder Scrolls Online, but that just didn't do it for us.
We actually didn't get a chance to see the game's co-op in action, and we've only gotten a glimpse of it in its E3 trailer -- which you can watch here -- but even that gets us excited now that we've seen the game and know that it plays great.
Hellraid is slated for a 2015 release on PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, with Early Access coming to Steam this fall. What are your thoughts on the game? Sound off down in the comments.
