HOUSTON - Friday night's women's soccer match between third-ranked UCLA and Houston was cancelled due to lightning. UCLA was leading 4-0 in the 48th minute of play when the game was suspended. A two-hour delay ensued before the game was called by officials.
There is a chance that the game will be resumed on Monday morning.
UCLA's Lauren Cheney had two goals for the Bruins. Danesha Adams and Dana Wall had the others. UCLA scored three of its goals in the first 10 minutes of action.
The Bruins' match with Texas on Sunday is still scheduled for 7:00 p.m. at Houston's John O'Quinn Stadium.

NEW HAVEN, Conn. – UCLA redshirt junior quarterback Brett Hundley and sophomore linebacker Myles Jack have been named to the Walter Camp Football Foundation 2014 Player of the Year watch list, the organization announced Friday.
The watch list of 50 student-athletes will be narrowed to 10 semi-finalists in mid-November. The 2014 Walter Camp Player of the Year recipient, which is voted on by the 125 NCAA Bowl Subdivision head coaches and sports information directors, will be announced live on ESPN SportsCenter on Thursday, December 11. The winner will then receive his trophy at the Foundation's annual national awards banquet on January 17, 2015 at the Yale University Commons in New Haven.
The Chandler, Ariz., native has run for or thrown for a touchdown in each of his 27 games. He enters 2014 ranked third on the school career list in touchdown passes (53) and total offense (7,914) while ranking fourth in passing yards (6,811). In 2013, the redshirt junior rated among the nation's best in completion percentage (14th-.668), passing efficiency (20th-152.9), touchdown passes (23rd-24), points responsible for (14th-216) and total offense (23rd-293.8).
Hundley became the first Bruin to throw for, run for and catch a pass for a touchdown in the same game during the 2013 contest at Utah. He finished the season with one interception in his last 158 passing attempts and none in his last 77 passes. His completion percentage of .668 was the highest by a Bruin starter since 1983. He was the first Bruin quarterback to lead the team in rushing (748 yards) since 1964. Hundley has also been named to the Maxwell Award and Davey O'Brien Award watch lists.
Jack became the first player in history to be voted both the Conference Offensive and Defensive Freshman of the Year in 2013. He was inserted into the starting lineup at linebacker in game two of the season and his 75 tackles were the second-most ever by a Bruin true freshman defender.
Jack saw action on offense for the first time in game nine and finished the year with 267 yards and seven rushing touchdowns. His four rushing scores against the University of Washington set a school record for a true freshman player. He has also been named to the Bednarik Award, the Hornung Award, Butkus Award, Lombardi Award and the Bronco Nagurski Trophy watch lists.
The Bruins' 2014 football season kicks off on Saturday, Aug. 30 at Noon ET at Virginia. UCLA's home opener will take place on Saturday, Sept. 6 at 7pm at the Rose Bowl against Memphis. Season tickets for the 2014 season are on sale now at uclabruins.com/tickets. The Bruins have six home games at the Rose Bowl in 2014 – Sept. 6 vs. Memphis, Oct. 4 vs. Utah, Oct. 11 vs. Oregon, Nov. 1 vs. Arizona, Nov. 22 vs. USC and Nov. 28 vs. Stanford.

Rant Lite
Today's rant looks at Solutions to the Poverty Problem.
Quote of the Day
Luk 21:10Then He said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom.
A Tale of Two Depressions
As the Great Depression progressed onward, the early collapse in RE prices made many Banks insolvent, which then precipitated the Stock Market Crash of 1929.
Geological and Cosmological Event Watch ThreadNot sure if there is really a significant increase in geologic events right now, but at least reading the MSM over the last year it appears to me that there has been an increase in frequency and in amplitude.
Other Shoes and the Uselessness Premium"Creating fuel production in a failed- state Libya is beyond the grasp of the EU's and United States' unconventional 'assets'. Blatant military intervention would be opposed by Russia, China and no doubt the other oil- producing autocracies."
Its been so long since my last Daily Rant getting back into the "groove" is kind of tough. There isn't anything terrifically "new" going on here in the Collapse Dynamic so the only thing left to do is rehash some Old Topic in some different way to perhaps shed some new light on it. The most recent 30 Blocks of Mindless Drivel thread developed quite a bit of argument from both sides of the line, though of course actually addressing the real underlying question of the impoverished isn't done, just a lot of posturing and napalm slinging by the usual suspects. So I will pick up on that thread here in the Daily Rant to provoke still more effusions of nonsense and ad hom off the keyboards of said usual suspects.
In reading through today's posts, the only person who actually addressed the critical point with a "solution" was Muckabout. After reciting the general results of creating a social welfare state, MA's conclusion is that the solution is to simply eradicate ALL forms of social support, after which we will go through "5 years of Hell", and presumably after that we will all live Happily Ever After free of the problem of Poverty. Besides belying all of history during the monetary era beginning around 3000 BC which shows that you ALWAYS have poor people, it doesn't address at all what the nature of the 5 Years of Hell would be like. So let us play out that scenario to get a little better handle on it.
Let us say that Ron Paul gets elected in 2012 with a Mandate to Shrink Goobermint to a Pinhead, eliminate all the Military except the Coast Guard used to keep everybody else OUT and eliminate all Goobermint Agencies involved in transfer payments of any kind. Somehow Ronnie salvages some portion of Social Security so Old Folks who paid into this aren't among the Destitute, but all the Disabled folks are taken off the roles. You have no legs? You can still work! In theory you can flip burgers from a wheel chair, so if there are burger flipper jobs you could take one. You are Blind? You can still work! You can man a Call center as a Debt collector for JP Morgan and they will provide a Braille Monitor for you to check the records of Deadbeats. You have the intellectual capacity of a Baboon? You still can in theory bag groceries.
Of course the problem here is that in actuality there are not enough burger flipper, debt collector and grocery bagger jobs for all the non-disabled people, so why would a Free Market company hire a disabled person to do any of these jobs when they can get a non-disabled one to do the same job without all the ramps for moving the wheelchairs around and the expensive Braille terminals to check records on?
Problems of the disabled aside here, lets just look at the typical welfare recipients and SNAP card consumers of food currently living in the 30 Blocks of Squalor. Due to the way this system is constructed, its primarily Women and Children who are supported this way. Men generally do NOT qualify for Welfare, it's the Women who have kids who get this money, and then the men sieve off of them. They also develop some income from Drug related activities usually, and cycle in and out of the Prisons until they die in some kind of violent crime related death, or a drug overdose.
So OK, to put a stop to this whole cycle, you cut off the Welfare system paying money to Women with Dependent children in the Muckabout Final Solution. Given say each of these women has an average of 3 children from different swinging dicks in the neighborhood, that means as soon as you knock down this system, you have lots of kids who are not yet capable of supporting themselves with no visible means of support. Are you going to put them ALL up for adoption? Who is going to adopt all these kids? Are you going to build Orphanages for all these kids? How will you fund the Orphanages?
Clearly of course, the minute the whole support system gets eviscerated is the minute the 30 Blocks of Squalor present in every large and small city in the FSofA erupts into the kind of violence you see throughout the M.E. right now. The only reason the impoverished here aren't behaving this way right now is because they still have something left to lose, which is their SNAP Card they get Food with and the roof over their heads they rent from some Slum Lord with the Welfare Check. One suspects the Slum Lords will be none too happy when they are not getting rent money for the hovels.
So now you have to Evict all these people and send them…where? Replay the Warsaw Ghetto, you have to send them to Concentration Camps. Once you fill up said Camps, where do you send these folks? Replay the Final Solution, you send them to the Great Beyond.
So in reality, Muckabout's Solution is nothing new, its just a Replay of what went on in Nazi Germany, he just doesn't play out the Consequences of it during the "5 Years of Hell" he proposes as a "solution". The 5 years of Hell amounts to a Genocide of the Impoverished, because unless this bunch organizes up very quickly and/or the folks running the power structure run out of Oil to move the Storm Troopers around from city to city rounding these people up and herding them into Boxcars, these are the folks who will be first in line for the Die Off and not a whole heck of a lot they can do to stop it either.
Project out a bit further into the future, does this SOLVE the problem of Poor People? Did it solve it for Germany? TEMPORARILY it did solve it, and after the war those who survived in Germany did their Mea Culpas, they rebuilt the infrastructure of Germany through the Marshall Plan and the surviving Germans did very well, thank you very much. It did not solve the problem in perpetuity though, because before long the Germans were importing Guest Workers from the M.E. to fill all the Scut Work jobs in their society, and those workers started Breeding. So inside a Generation or so, you get a growing population of the Impoverished and unless the Wealth of the society increases as fast as its population does there are not going to be enough jobs for the increasing population, or what jobs there are will be at increasingly lower real wages.
Needless to say Worldwide, Wealth we can draw from the Natural Resources of the Earth has NOT been increasing as fast as the population, rather it is the other way round. The population has been Increasing at a geometric rate while the resources are consumed at a geometrically increasing rate. Rock, meet Hard Place somewhere around 1970 or so, resulting in an ever decreasing aggregate per capita wealth through Global Society. Each individual country has had results of this, the Industrialized Nations from early on have seen a slippage and very poor countries like China grew in Wealth, but in aggregate everybody began slipping downward.
In the 1990s through to today, the downward slippage has been masked in the industrialized nations through the accumulation of irredeemable debt, and not surprisingly that debt is owed to the impoverished nations which grew out of poverty during this period, most notably China. However, all China's current Wealth amounts to a lot of irredeemable debt from the industrialized nations which sieved off that growth through this period. It will never be paid back to the Chinese. In tandem with the Wealth, they grew in Population as well, leaving the vast majority of Chinese still in poverty while perhaps 10% of the population enjoyed the last stage benefits of the industrial paradigm. Once the reality sinks in they will never be paid back, the Ponzi that is China will collapse in a smoking rubble, and nothing they can do to stop that one either.
Taking a few lessons from this history, what will the outcome be if "Muckabout's Final Solution" is employed? Well, as in about all Biblical style Apocalypse Scenarios, when the Four Horsemen ride herd over Humanity, they take about ¼ of the Population with them to the Great Beyond. This historically has generally been enough for the surviving population to then redistribute the Wealth of the society and begin again, more or less from Tabula Raza. Assuming the resources are available, the society then begins to grow again, and then once again starts to accumulate an overhang of the poor and disenfranchised. You don't even need to be importing them, as long as you keep breeding your own a percentage of them are going to end up impoverished as long as you run a monetary system to distribute the wealth of the society. Why is this true? A trip into a typical School Classroom will explain to you why it is true.
In any randomly assembled Schoolroom, you have a Bell Curve. A few really bright kids, a hill of average kids, and a few real dummies. Whatever the structure of the society, there are always a percentage of them born who will not "make it" in the society, and its not JUST the smarts either, its physical attributes that can impact as well, and social attributes also. Whether it be because they are just stupid, or because they are weak and infirm physically, or they do not get along well with others, there is always a percentage of people who do not "make the grade" in the society. In a Natural Selection Darwinian paradigm prior to what we now call "Civilization", around the time of Puberty kids who were not "making the grade" in the society got "taken out" in a very real sense. They could not pass the "tests" put before them to become an Adult member of the tribe, and as a result of those tests they either died outright or they simply were not permitted to mate and so did not reproduce. Civilization did away with these kind of Darwinian tests for survival, and the result of that is the society always has a percentage of people that for one reason or another cannot self-support. As long as the society is wealthy enough to support them, it carries on until the baggage is too great, and then you run up into your Biblical style Apocalypse. It never does last more than about 80 years between conflagrations of some kind to resolve the problem of accumulating people who are not making the grade in the society for the society to find a way to rid itself of the problem, and that solution is of course WAR. It can be waged internally within a society or between societies, but that is the aggregate means of eliminating enough of the population to begin the cycle again.
Through most of the development of Human Civilization, these smaller Expansion-Contraction phases all were taking place under an Umbrella of the greater growth of the Human species. All the while this was occurring, we were becoming better able to access the wealth of the world through innovation and better understanding, until we came upon enough Knowledge to access the greatest One Time Gift of ALL TIME, the Thermodynamic Energy of Fossil Fuels accumulated upon the nearly accessible mile or so beneath the surface of the earth to power the machines we built as a result of our increased understanding of the laws governing physical systems. From the time of the first Steam Engines used to pump water out of Coal Mines in Britain in the 1700s to today, that wealth has been used to generate up an ever larger population dependent on it, the version of Humanity best now referred to as Homo Industrialis. We have spent almost 300 years digging up the earth and drilling holes in it to access every last pocket of this stuff that we can, and now it is running thin. WE CANNOT continue to run this society in this form without this stuff, and in the foreseeable future NO form of energy, not Renewables nor Thorium Nukes will take its place. One by one around the globe, the less powerful will be deprived of the resource as the more powerful take what is left of it. Will a Biblical style 25% Population reduction be sufficient to stall this for another Go Round? Perhaps. This may not be the very last iteration of the cycle. Even if it is not though, it will not be very long before it repeats itself , another 80 or years or so into the next Saeculum, using Strauss & Howe Terminology. That is about the BEST case scenario to this, and you have to be quite Optimistic to accept the Fourth Turning hypothesis. I am not so Optimistic. I do not think we will be able to stop this cascade failure at 25%. If we stop it at 90%, we will be fortunate as a species. If we do not stop it at 90%, the Undershoot possible is impossible to determine, but as long as 10,000 Human Souls or 1000 Breeding Pairs make it through the Zero Point as we did once before when Toba went Ballistic, we may survive to build a Better Tomorrow.
In OUR TIME, right NOW, it is all of our "jobs" to determine how best we might make it possible for Homo Sapiens to survive, and to me, the way to do that is to send Homo Industrialis to HELL. The Industrial Model was WRONG, it was never Pay as you Go. Homo Industrialis GREW as a Parasite off of the leftover energy of Millions of years of living organisms that populated the planet before we ever evolved, and the population of Homo Industrialis EXPLODED as a result, to the tune of 6.3B or so now living on the surface of the earth. Most of these people are now destined for a first class ticket to the Great Beyond, and NOTHING can stop this. If YOU wish to be one of the survivors of THIS Holocaust, I suggest getting just as far away as you can, as fast as you can, and learning to live with a lower energy footprint as quick as you can. If you are lucky, if you live far away from the center of the collapse of Homo Industrialis, there may be time for you or your progeny to make the adjustment. You have NO CHANCE if you are in a Big Shitty. LEAVE NOW! RUN AWAY! As far as you can, as fast as you can.
For the folks who live in the 30 Blocks of Squalor, there is for the most part No Hope. Consider yourself fortunate that the Grace of God did not put you with them, and if you raised yourself out of Poverty, consider yourself fortunate that God granted you the gifts that enabled you to do that. To revile them or blame them for what is before us now is lacking in humanity and compassion, they did not cause this. It is the long term result of the development of human civilizations, the development of Agriculture and the development of Money to distribute the resources of the earth. It was a juggernaut that never could be stopped, not until it ran OUT OF GAS. Now the juggernaut will stop, once and for all time, because well and truly we are OUT OF GAS. I for one intend to stay as far away from this mess as I can, because there is nothing I can do to stop it, only try to stay out of the way and help who I can in my neighborhood.
I have been gifted by God through my Grandfather the Self-Made Illuminati who walked himself out of Europe chasing after my Grandmother and climbed the anchor chain of a Portuguese Freighter bound for Amerika to find her in the Saeculum that preceeded this one. Kind of hard to imagine how I could come by so much money in such bizarre fashion without some plan for it? I was Gifted in this past week through the death of my mother by a long dead High Steel Walker and Bootleg Whisky Peddler who a half a century ago kicked the bucket with pretty much more Money than GOD at the time (though less than Soros and Gates has these days) and left me the means to Save as Many as I Can, and so I will. Why should I get all this money RIGHT NOW? God Works in Mysterious Ways, now doesn't He? Some folks work a lifetime as scum sucking Union Busters to become Pigmen as a matter of choice, and I get it dumped on me inside a week after plodding around my world as a Chemist and Trucker and Teacher as an accident of birth. Man, if that isn't Eternal Justice at work, I do not know what is.
Behold, the Mighty Hand of GOD! Miracles do happen apparently. LOL.

Joanna Dunlap Cowden Memorial Lecture
Category: Cultural Events
Where: Rowland Taylor Recital Hall, PAC 134
When: Monday, October 08, 2012 from 7:30pm to 9pm
Cost: Free and Open
The 2012 Joanna Dunlap Cowden Memorial Lecture will be given by University of Maryland History Professor Michael Ross on Monday, October 8 at 7:30 p.m. in Rowland-Taylor Recital Hall. Entitled "The Supreme Court, the Slaughter-House Cases, and the Retreat from Reconstruction," the lecture will tackle a long-standing debate of whether the Supreme Court intentionally underminded African-Americans' rights during Reconstruction. Many historians have argued so, but Ross suggests otherwise in a talk based on his prizewinning biography of the justice who penned the majority opinion in the pivotal Slaughter-House Cases decision.

A snow leopard Uzbekistan sighting is causing both animal experts and big cat lovers around the world to relish the very first photos ever of these feline predators being found in the Central Asian country. A team of environmentalists conducting research in Uzbekistan were able to recently capture two clear photos of the leopards on film. RFERL News reports this Friday, Jan. 17, 2014, why this discovery is important and what has likely happened to these rare animals since then.
The snow leopard Uzbekistan evidence is being seen as a breakthrough for environmentalists studying these big, beautiful, but dangerous cats. The source site confirms that the pair of images constitutes the very first concrete proof of these endangered big cats living in the Asian country area, further west of their natural habitat than expected.
According to WWF conservations groups and the Panthera organization, the two snow leopards were officially caught on cameras situated in the Hissar Nature Reserve of Uzbekistan towards the end of 2013. As cited by the experts, these rare animals "adept experts at navigating the steep and rocky alpine regions of Central Asia... and are almost instantly recognizable by [their] long tail and almost-white coat, spotted with large black rosettes," offers WWF Global.
Unfortunately, finds like the recent snow leopard Uzbekistan case are growing more and more uncommon in the area because these big cats are becoming greater victims of human hunting and subsequent habitat loss. Wildlife experts WWF and Panthera added:
"In November and December of 2013, a team of rangers and biologists led by Bakhtiyor Aromov and Yelizaveta Protas, in collaboration with global wild cat conservation organization, Panthera, and WWF Central Asia Program, conducted a snow leopard camera trap study in the Kizilsu area of Gissar Nature Reserve, on the border of Uzbekistan and Tajikistan. Images taken through the study have confirmed the presence of at least two individual snow leopards in the region, along with other large predators – lynx and bear – and an abundance of prey animals, including ibex, wild boar, and hare."
Along with the pair of images capturing the two snow leopards, other photos from the study confirmed the presence of other important animals in the natural ecosystem, including predators and prey: hares, wild boars, big cats, and ibex. The statement concluded that the presence of the snow leopards in the western areas of their Uzbekistan habitat brings hope that the species may have greater range than expected and offer "a greater hope for survival in the wild."

Mogo's origin and induction into the Green Lantern Corps has yet to be revealed. The planetform rarely is involved with others, its large size precluding any visits to Oa. However, a number of travellers have visited the Green Lantern.
In a story told to Arisia of Graxos IV by Tomar-Re of Xudar, Mogo had been challenged by Bolphugna the Unrelenting.
Bolphugna the Unrelenting was a creature of violence who had bulit a reputation from numerous fights he had won. He intended to beat the most feared and mysterious being of them all... the Green Lantern known as Mogo.
The search for his quarry led him to an Earth type planet, devoid of any signs of intelligent life. Bolphugna called for the Green Lantern to face him. Receiving no response, he searched the planet for the Green Lantern.
Bolphugna's task was made all the more difficult by the fact that no one had any information as to what Mogo actually looked like. This would not stop him. Bolphugna spent years searching for the Green Lantern, examining plants, animals and insects. He grew more methodical in his search, surveying and drawing maps of the terrain. Although Bolphugna could find no intelligent life, he noted the forests seemed to be groomed in strange patterns, with large tracts of open land.
One night, entirely frustrated by his search, Bolphugna spread the maps out in front of him. Placing the ends of the maps together, the strange patterns of the trees made out the symbol of the Green Lantern Corps. Bolphugna quickly realized the very planet he was standing on was the Green Lantern known as Mogo. For the first time ever, Bolphugna the Unrelenting... relented. He ran to his starship, took off, and has not been heard of since.[Green Lantern Vol. 2 #188]
As a planet and a Green Lantern, few things threatened Mogo. He did have difficulty with a meteor shower of corrosive yellow matter. The "scorch stuff" would burn into Mogo, his ring was powerless against the falling debris. To this end, Mogo created a holographic agent to barter with the star travelling Cluster, operated by Manga Khan. The hologram traded two canisters of the corrosive, held in an inert state, for two space dolphins caught by the Cluster.[Mister Miracle Vol. 2 #13]
Unknown to Manga Khan, the space dolphins were protected by Lobo. The bounty hunter tracked his dolphins to the Cluster, intending to kill those responsible. The superhero Mister Miracle was on hand to suggest he and Lobo track the dolphins to their new owner.
Their descent to the planet was disrupted by a sudden, extremely localized storm. There was no sign of habitation on the planet's surface. Lobo's call to the dolphins was ignored, an attempt to take them caused the planet to attack.
When the pair were immobilized, they were visited by a green hologram. He described himself as a servant of Master Mogo, and explained the situation to the trespassers. The dolphins ate the corrosive material, which they needed for their diet. They told Lobo they wished to stay on the planet. Lobo was invited to visit the dolphins provided he came in peace.
Realizing the dolphins would be safer with Mogo, Lobo and Mister Miracle returned to the Cluster. The pair never realized Mogo was a Green Lantern.[Mister Miracle Vol. 2 #14]
Another story of Mogo is a prophesy of the future. On Ysmault, the homeworld of the Empire of Tears, a prophecy was told to Abin Sur by a demon named Qull of the Five Inversions. According to the demon, the enemies of the Green Lantern Corps will rise united against them in final battle. Mogo will be the last to fall as Ranx the Sentient City explodes a blink-bomb within his core.[Green Lantern Corps Annual #2]
Recently, the Corps was destroyed by the actions of Hal Jordan. According to Green Lantern John Stewart, the planetform somehow "ceased to be", though accuracy of this statement is debatable. The last wielder of the power ring, Kyle Rayner, and J'Onn J'Onzz, the Martian Manhunter brought to Mogo an alien ark intent on preparing the Earth for seeding. The pilot had died years before and was absorbed into the macinery of the ship but was still programmed to fulfill the final mission. Rayner had the Martian Manhunter lead the ark to Mogo where it could change the planetform to match the environment of the long extinct race.[Green Lantern Vol. 3 #87]
As the future is not yet written, it still remains possible for Mogo and the Green Lantern Corps to return. It remains to be seen what effect the new life on Mogo will lead to and if the Empire of Tears prophecies will come to pass.
In "The Strange World Named Green Lantern", a story from Green Lantern Vol. 2 #24, Hal Jordan meets a sentient planet which had entered the Milky Way Galaxy one billion years ago.
Being alone in the void, the planet had called out to others in the universe. The planet had given up hope until it recieved mental impressions from Hal as he traveled through space. In honor of Jordan, the planet named itself "Green Lantern". Hal had helped the planet "give birth" to a moon, and Hal promised to visit the "Green Lantern".
Over the years, the Corps would go through many battles which cost the lives of many Green Lanterns. Could Hal (or another Green Lantern) have recruited this planet? If yes, could it have been Mogo?
I wonder if Alan Moore read this issue? :)

Hi my name is Jim Simoni. I wish there was some way to relate to the desktop to the old desk top with menus so this transition would be easier. I like the old organisation in the menu bar. I had places, applications, system and others I have forgotten. I need the list to make the transfer to the new system. Can some one tell me how to look or get a list of all the organization menue it had?
My problem though is that I can not find any setting that control the launcher. The quide says in settings appearance there should be a slider that controls the size of the icons. I can not find it. I don't know if my theme makes it invisible? Can someone help I can't find it.

On January 24, the much anticipated Kroger Marketplace celebrated its Grand Opening in Forney. Approximately 100 people waited in line for the doors to open, but the first customer was Janell Lapp. She won a Forney EDC contest and received a $100 gift card and 30 minutes in the store before the crowd was let in.
Within an hour of opening, the store was packed full of smiling customers eager to take advantage of special sales and to celebrate the opening. Due to the cold temperatures outside, the official ribbon cutting ceremony was held inside near the pharmacy. The ceremony was kicked off by the Forney High School Drumline, marching and playing through the store. The National Anthem was then sung by the North Forney High School Chamber Choir.
Kroger dignitaries as well as Forney Mayor Darren Rozell spoke to the onlookers and shared their mutual excitement at bringing the 124,000 Kroger Marketplace to Forney. The Mayor and members of the City Council joined with Kroger Manager John Pierce to cut the red ribbon and officially mark the opening of the store.
Mayor Rozell told the Forney News Examiner, "Once the store opened and Forney began shopping in their new Marketplace, the excitement spread throughout the building. Kroger deciding to bring their Marketplace concept to Forney, and employing over 300 people, will have a noticeable impact on our local economy."

NIU was 13-6 in 2011, the best April under Coach Mathey.TUESDAY'S REVENGE FACTORWhen Northern Illinois and Bradley met earlier this season at Ralph McKinzie Field, April 16, it was not a pretty site for the NIU faithful as the Huskies fell to the Braves 19-0 in seven innings. BU had a hot start in the game, in part to three home runs in the first inning, finishing with five total in the game. The Huskies are looking to even the season's series with the Braves with southpaw Ben Neumann on the mound.BAD HOPS? ALL A PART OF THE GAMEIn the eighth inning Sunday, with the tying run on third and the go ahead run on first, freshman Tommy Hook hit a first pitch hit-and-run line drive back to pitcher Cory Klenke, a laser that squared off the thigh of Klenke. The ball deflected off Klenke into foul territory on the first base path, where first baseman Kevin Bower collected the ball and tagged out Hook to end the inning. The hit would have tied the game and potentially brought the speedy Jamison Wells home for the lead on the play.CLUTCH CARGOJunior Alex Klonowski was the Huskies go-to-guy in pressure situations in the Miami series as he accounted for the walk-off single in Northern Illinois' 4-3 victory and hit a two-run single over the shortstop to put NIU within one run in the seventh, 5-4. Klonowski's only hit of Saturday's game was the game-winning hit. He finished 6-for-13 (.462) in the series with three RBI and a double, including a 3-for-5 day at the plate Sunday.GOING THE DISTANCE... TWICEFor the first time since April 2-3, 2010 versus Buffalo, a pair of Northern Illinois pitchers hurled consecutive complete games as freshman Jordan Ruckman and junior Eli Anderson went the distance against Miami (Ohio). On Friday, Ruckman tossed a two-hit complete game to lead NIU to a 3-1 victory, followed up by Anderson's fifth complete game of the season in Saturday's 4-3 walk-off victory. Chuck Lukanen (W, 6-1) and Jeremy Gonzales (L, 3-2) went the distance for NIU in 2010.APRIL SHOWERS BRING MAY FLOWERSThe Huskies wins in the month of April have fallen like ran drops from the sky as NIU owns an 10-6 this month, Northern Illinois' first winning month of the season. Nine of the Huskies have come in Mid-American Conference games, putting NIU atop the MAC with Buffalo in the conference standings with four games in hand over Eastern Michigan in the West division standings.GETTING BACK ON TRACK IN THE MIDWEEKAfter opening with a 2-1 mark, Northern Illinois is 2-4 in midweek contests. In Iowa April 24, NIU nearly evened its record to 3-3 those contests, but fell 3-2 to the Hawkeyes. Following their two games this week, the Huskies will close their midweek slate at Milwaukee May 14 for a doubleheader with the Panthers.KILLER INSTINCTIn Mid-American Conferfence games, the Huskies have really poured it on their opposition in the fourth through ninth innings, outscoring their foes, 70-42. Impressively, NIU has run up 37 runs to its opponents 20 in the seventh through ninth innings. In the opening third of ball games, Northern Illinois trails its opponents on the scoreboard, 28-27. All-in-all, NIU leading its conference opponents in the runs department, 94-68.SCOUTING THE BRAVESBradley enters the game with NIU at 14-21 overall with a 1-13 mark in the Missouri Valley Conference. BU is 2-3 in its last five games with three-straight losses in its series against Illinois State at Peoria Chiefs Stadium. Last Wednesday, the Braves defeated SIU-Edwardsvilles in a midweek doubleheader, 3-0, 6-5, both seven inning games. Mike Tauchman continues to swing his hot bat with a .416 batting average, with 13 doubles, four triples, two home runs, 36 RBI and 21 stolen bases.SCOUTING THE FLAMESUIC is 19-21 this season with an 8-10 register in Horizon League contests. Much like the Braves, the Flames are coming off a sweep as well as they lost three to UW-Milwaukee at Henry Aaron Field last weekend. On April 24, UIC's lone midweek game, the Flames lost to defending Big Ten champion Purdue, 20-0. Tyler Detmer is the leader in a batting average with a .303 clip, while Alex Grunenwald is the power in the order with seven home runs and 34 RBI.NEXT UPNorthern Illinois hits the road for week 12 of Mid-American Conference play at Toledo, starting May 3. It will be the Huskies second to last MAC road trip of the season before their final home stand versus Eastern Michigan.

IMF Executive Board Concludes 2006 Article IV Consultation with the Republic of SloveniaPublic Information Notice (PIN) No. 06/73
July 7, 2006
Public Information Notices (PINs) form part of the IMF's efforts to promote transparency of the IMF's views and analysis of economic developments and policies. With the consent of the country (or countries) concerned, PINs are issued after Executive Board discussions of Article IV consultations with member countries, of its surveillance of developments at the regional level, of post-program monitoring, and of ex post assessments of member countries with longer-term program engagements. PINs are also issued after Executive Board discussions of general policy matters, unless otherwise decided by the Executive Board in a particular case.
On June 30, 2006, the Executive Board of the International Monetary Fund (IMF) concluded the Article IV consultation with the Republic of Slovenia.1
Slovenia is set to become the first among the new European Union member states to adopt the euro. Aided by broadly favorable initial conditions and generally sound macroeconomic and incomes policies, Slovenia has over the past decade sustained robust growth with small external imbalances, while gradually lowering inflation to euro-area levels. Long-term interest rates, the fiscal deficit, the public debt ratio, and inflation were all within the Maastricht Treaty limits at end-2005. This, combined with the tolar's two successful years within the ERM2, has set the stage for euro adoption in January 2007.
The Slovene economy continued to grow strongly in 2005 amid a stable macroeconomic environment. Real GDP growth reached 4 percent supported by strong exports, while the unwinding of inventories accumulated in 2004 ahead of EU accession slowed domestic demand and imports. In spite of the oil price-driven deterioration of the terms of trade, the external current account deficit in percent of GDP declined by half to about 1. As growth remained above potential and idle capacity tightened, the output gap likely closed. Competitiveness remained adequate, supported in part by the continued positive gap of 1 percent between productivity and real wage growth. External debt jumped by 13 percentage points to 71½ percent of GDP reflecting strong foreign borrowing by banks.
Average inflation in 2005 declined to 2½ from 3 ½ percent in 2004. Despite the reduced available slack, core inflation more than halved to less than 1 percent during the year, owing to lower tolar depreciation expectations, increased competition following EU accession, and conservative wage policy. In particular the implementation of the guideline requiring real wage to trail productivity helped minimize second-round effects of energy price shocks.
The fiscal deficit in 2005 remained low and public debt was kept at below 30 percent of GDP. At 1.1 percent of GDP, the general government deficit was better than projected, reflecting one-off municipal revenues and lags in spending EU transfers. Adjusting for cyclical effects, this deficit implied a neutral fiscal stance. Tax revenue was buoyant, as indirect taxes recovered from a temporary drop following EU accession in May 2004.
Monetary policy through 2005 was marginally tight, but credit growth remained strong. Upon entering the ERM2 in 2004 the central bank set its key policy rate at 4 percent and kept it unchanged until end-2005, 200 basis points (bps) above the European Central Bank (ECB) refinance rate. However, a surge in short-term capital inflows in early 2006 and Bank of Slovenia's desire to prompt banks to gradually switch away from its bonds ahead of euro adoption led to cumulative reductions in the policy rate of 75 bps, which together with increases in the ECB refinancing rate, narrowed the interest rate differential with the ECB to 50 bps. Buoyed by strong foreign borrowing by banks, credit growth accelerated by 3 percentage points to 23 percent. Bank profitability and asset quality remained adequate and non-performing loans declined—in part reflecting a rapid expansion of new credit. However, the relaxation of credit standards owing to intense competition for market share and the increased recourse to variable-rate contracts have increased interest and credit risks.
In 2006, growth is projected to remain around 4 percent, but would be more balanced. The contribution of domestic demand would rebound, reflecting a recovery in investment and steady growth of consumption. Investment would be supported by highway construction, and lower inventory de-cumulation. Exports would continue to grow in line with favorable conditions in the EU, while import growth would accelerate, reflecting stronger domestic demand. This, combined with a further deterioration of the terms of trade would lead to the widening of the external current account to 2 percent of GDP. Despite an expected up-tick in core inflation, the Maastricht inflation ceiling is not expected to be breached, aided by price competition in the euro zone and continued wage restraint. Fiscal policy would need to be at least neutral to support this benign outlook.
Structural reform is still lagging, leaving the economy with many rigidities that pose challenges to growth and fiscal sustainability in the long run. Slovenia is beset with a relatively unfriendly business environment with an inflexible labor market, stringent business regulations, and a high share of government ownership of enterprises. This has led to lackluster performance in attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) relative to other Central European countries. Generous welfare and retirement benefits have reduced labor participation, while one of the fastest aging populations in Europe, highlights the challenge to long-run fiscal sustainability.
Executive Board Assessment
Executive Directors commended the Slovenian authorities for the successful economic transformation that has paved the way for the country's entry into the euro zone in January 2007. They pointed to solid economic growth, low inflation, moderate public and external debt levels, and a sound banking system as evidence that years of prudent macroeconomic and incomes policies have paid off.
At the same time, Directors stressed that while the near-term outlook remains benign, important challenges remain for the medium term. Sustaining income convergence in the euro zone requires more attention to improving economic flexibility and long-term growth prospects. Directors therefore emphasized the need to implement policies that increase productivity, create an efficient business environment and a flexible labor market, and improve sustainability of public finances in the face of population aging.
Directors noted that the imminent loss of the exchange rate instrument puts a premium on fiscal and incomes policies to sustain a balanced expansion in the near term. With the output gap virtually closed and interest rates converging toward euro area levels, Directors stressed the need for a neutral fiscal stance in 2006 to contain inflation risks. This would require achieving expenditure savings to keep this year's fiscal deficit below budgeted levels. Directors also emphasized the importance of continuing with prudent wage settlements to contain price pressures and achieve a balanced growth.
Directors emphasized that over the medium term fiscal policy needs to deal with the challenges of an aging population, while improving the flexibility and efficiency of public spending. They welcomed the authorities' commitment to achieve a structural fiscal balance over the medium term, but recommended a frontloaded adjustment. This would help achieve balanced growth and provide an early start to addressing long-term fiscal sustainability concerns related to population aging. Directors welcomed the authorities' plans to reduce the progressive income taxes to enhance incentives to work and boost growth, but emphasized the need to accompany tax reform with expenditure rationalization. They urged the authorities to focus expenditure reforms on reducing fiscal rigidities and age-related spending pressures. Priorities in this regard would be parametric reforms of the pension system, revisions of the level and indexation mechanisms of social benefits, and linking social benefits to work-reinsertion policies.
Directors acknowledged that the authorities' consensus-based approach to reforms had helped preserve social cohesion, but noted that the authorities need to speed up the implementation of policies that boost productivity growth and increase labor flexibility and participation to maintain competitiveness and ensure faster convergence. They noted that while price competitiveness appears adequate and export growth strong, Slovenia trails other new EU member states in gaining market shares. They also observed that Slovenia's productivity growth lags behind that of its regional competitors, reflecting Slovenia's high income level as well as weak FDI and technological spillovers. Labor participation is also relatively low among the older and younger working-age population. To deal with these challenges, Directors urged the authorities to speed up efforts to raise labor utilization by lowering marginal tax rates, improving the targeting of social benefits, and reducing incentives for early retirement. Simplifying business regulations and reducing constraints that create labor market rigidities would increase efficiency and attract FDI. In this respect, they welcomed the creation of centralized registration for independent entrepreneurs and encouraged extending it to larger corporate entities. Directors also supported the authorities' plan to accelerate the divestment of public companies.
Directors observed that while the banking system is sound, bank supervision should be enhanced to guard against market and credit risks. The rapid increase in credit amid competition for market share has exposed banks to higher credit risks, especially as interest rates in the euro zone are set to rise. Directors noted that although banks are expected to be resilient to these shocks in the near term, euro adoption will pressure profitability through competition, yield convergence, and loss of foreign exchange related revenue. Directors welcomed the steps taken to ensure adequate liquidity standards upon euro adoption, but called on the authorities to strengthen supervision of banks' credit assessment standards to ensure continued strong balance sheets. They encouraged enhanced coordination with foreign supervisors to limit contagion risks arising from the regional concentration of funding. Directors also urged further progress in increasing the role of the private sector in the banking system to boost efficiency in an increasingly competitive international environment.

Just because we don't want to feel bad about our lack of flexibility in room full of circus freaks while being encouraged to take deep breaths of air that has been recently farted and then emerge covered in a fine mist of others' sweat doesn't mean we can't totally rock this Yogi Clothing Tie Dye Dress ($82), which is purple and has boob sparkles!

Part One of "Going green in CMS means more than recycling" addressed how students and staff are meeting the challenge of being Environmental Stewards. Part Two examines CMS's Transportation Department.
Policy ECF of Strategic Plan 2014 states: "The Board of Education believes that Charlotte Mecklenburg Schools must be an effective steward of natural resources. The Board hereby commits that the district will continue and strengthen its efforts to operate in a manner that protects and conserves our air, water, and land resources, improves the environment, and promotes environmentally sound behavior."
There are seven environmental focus areas that Policy ECF provides:
• Environmental Compliance
• Pollution Prevention
• Resource Conservation
• Resource Recovery
• Sustainable Purchasing
• Behavioral Change
The Transportation Department adheres to the policy in several ways. An estimated 84,000 students rode CMS buses on a daily basis last year. (Numbers for this year are not yet available.) There are no numbers available on how many students either ride in cars, walk, or take other modes of transportation. Even though the 1,095 bus fleet consumed about 3.6 million gallons of gas last year, the effects on the environment are still less than putting extra cars on the road.
Carol Stamper, CMS's Executive Director of Transportation, reports that there are many ways fuel consumption and emissions have been reduced by the department. Consolidating bus stops and utilizing shuttle stops for magnet programs not only saved $3.5 million in transportation costs, but also saved a considerable amount of emissions from leaking into the environment. "Other contributors to reducing operating miles include adjusting school bell schedules, networking buses for two or more schools with similar bell schedules in close proximity for students living in similar geographic areas of the county, and adjusting walk distances to bus stops", says Stamper.
The CMS fleet currently operates with low sulfur diesel (USLD), which is better for the environment than regular diesel. FedEx and UPS are among many other large fleet companies who have also taken advantage of the performance of USLD. There are currently no plans to upfit the fleet for biodiesel.

The DAISY Award: For Extraordinary Nurses at St. Mary Mercy
St. Mary Mercy is participating in a very special nationwide program that rewards excellence in nursing.
The DAISY Award was created by the DAISY Foundation to recognize the clinical skills, and extraordinary compassion and care exhibited by nurses every day. As of November 2009, 442 hospitals across the country are participating in giving out the Daisy Award. St. Mary Mercy is proud to be among the recognized hospitals.
The DAISY Foundation was established in 2000 by the Barnes family in memory of J. Patrick Barnes, who died from complications of Idiopathic Thrombocytopenic Purpura (ITP) at the age of 33. The Barnes' family experienced firsthand the expert clinical skills as well as the care and compassion received from many nurses during his hospitalization. The DAISY Foundation is dedicated to recognizing the extraordinary work nurses do every day and funding research to help fight diseases of the immune system.
Each month, the awardee will receive a hand-carved Shona sculpture entitled "A Healer's Touch," a special DAISY Award pin, a certificate of appreciation and a tote bag.
Nominations will be accepted through the 15th of each month. The winner will be announced the following month.
Submit nomination forms to firstname.lastname@example.com or in ballot boxes located throughout St. Mary Mercy.

It's a busy week for cruise foodies: Just a few hours after Carnival revealed its partnership with French master chef Georges Blanc, Silversea announced that it is set to offer the first-ever Relais & Chateaux wine-themed restaurants at sea.
The existing alternative restaurants onboard all four ships in the Silversea fleet (Saletta on Silver Cloud and Silver Wind and Le Champagne on Silver Whisper and Silver Shadow) will be transformed with a new collection of dishes designed to complement wines from Silversea's Epicurean Collection. The new dining concept is expected to launch onboard Silver Whisper in late November, and expand fleetwide early next year.
Dishes are being developed with the help of master sommeliers trained in the member establishments of Relais & Chateaux -- Relais Gourmands. These sommeliers will be available in each restaurant to offer insights on each vintage to guests. Menus will vary based on itinerary (so guests on an Australia/New Zealand voyage, for example, may enjoy fine vintages and culinary traditions of that region), and guests will be able to sip a different vino (many rare and expensive) with each course.
The wines offered will not be included on Silversea's complimentary selections list -- which means a fee will be added to guests' shipboard accounts for this dining experience; the cover charge will vary based on the particular regions and wines presented each evening. Until this point, supper at Silversea's reservations-recommended alternative restaurants incurred no extra charge.

David Gower, born 1957, is a former Hampshire cricketer and England cricket captain.
After making his debut for Leicestershire in 1975 he eventually moved to Hampshire in 1990, where he played for three years.
Gower scored well over 25,000 first class runs and his graceful batting soon earned him an England call up in 1978.
He became England captain in 1983 for three years and returned as skipper again in 1989, and in total scored 8,231Test runs.
The high point of his career came in the 1985 Ashes series, when Gower made three scores in excess of 150, and when he retired he was the leading Test run scorer in English history.
However, Gower's career was plagued by controversy, and on occasions he infuriated other players and supporters with his seemingly casual attitude, that ultimately led to him being dropped by England under the new captain Graham Gooch.
Since retiring from cricket he has become a TV personality, creating many laughs in his role as captain on the BBC sports show They Think It's All Over, and being a regular cricket commentator for Sky Sports.

The Gospel Messenger--1911 The above is the title of a book of 229 pages written by "B. H. Carroll, Jr., B. A., LL.B., Th.D.", of Texas, and published by The Baptist Book Concern, 642 Fourth Avenue, Louisville, Ky., and sent by mail, postpaid, for one dollar.
A more correct title of the book would be "The Real Genesis of American Modern Missions, and the Imaginary Genesis of American Anti-Modern-Missionism." More than one-third of the book (84 pages) is devoted to the history and glorification of American Modern-Missionisrn among the Baptists. Mr. Carroll truthfully says that William Carey, of England, was the father of American as well as English missions; and that Luther Rice and Adoniram Judson, Jr., were the real or direct awakeners of the American Baptists to missionary activity. He might also have said, with truth, as the Circular Letter of 1806 of the Philadelphia Association said—"In modern missions papal Rome led the way." He does indeed intimate this important fact on the 94th page of his book, when he says: "Reformers have never been missionaries, nor the reforming ages periods of missionary activity in the church. This was true of the Roman church. For three hundred years, while the reformers were trying by means of councils to cleanse the church in head and members, there was no missionary activity. Not until after the Reformation, when the Council of Trent had finally put a quietus on the reform movements did Roman missionary activity begin. The same was true of the Protestant churches. As long as Europe was filled with the jangling of their warring creeds, missionary effort, though feebly attempted a few times, miserably failed. But in the fullness of time when religious opinions had all clarified and crystallized into settled creeds, Carey arose to set the Christian world on fire with missionary enthusiasm." Of course if, as admitted by their most zealous and best informed advocates, Modern Money-based missions originated with the Roman Catholics in the 17th century (Pope Gregory XV. in 1622) and with William Carey of England in the 18th century (1792), they did not originate with the prophets or Christ or His apostles in the ages of perfect and infallible Divine inspiration., and they were even unknown in the church fm more than fifteen hundred years after the last apostle died. But there is nothing new in all this—these facts have been well known to informed men for more than a hundred years. If the Scriptures do not authorize Modern Money-Based Missions to a reverent believer in the scriptures who regards them as the only infallible standard of faith and practice there would seem to be no use or very little use for the remainder of Mr. Carroll's book.
In the last or most (but not) original part of his book, he labors to trace the origin of what he kindly calls "Hardshellism" or "American Anti-Missionism," to two extreme Antinomians—John Taylor, a native of Virginia, but a resident of Kentucky, and Daniel Parker, a native of Tennessee, but a resident afterwards of Illinois and Texas, the introducer of the Two-Seed Heresy among the Baptists; and to one extreme Arminian, Alexander Campbell, a native of Ireland but a resident of Pennsylvania and West Virginia, and the founder of the denomination called the "Disciples of Christ." He says that Taylor published his objections to Modern Missions in 1819 in a pamphlet called "Thoughts, etc."; and Parker published his in 1820 in an "Address"; and Campbell published his in 1823 in a paper called "The Christian Baptist." Mr. Carroll says that Taylor was the only real. Baptist of the three, and that he was an earnest, consecrated, self-sacrificing, conscientious, and successful minister of the gospel, but ignorant and prejudiced, and more favorable to missions in the latter part of his life, although when sixty-seven years old he had denounced them as a New England and Roman Catholic invention; that Parker is said in his earlier career to have applied for appointment as missionary, and, when refused, turned against mission societies, and that he was the reviver of the ancient and disgusting philosophy of Manichaeus, and maintained that God would certainly save all His children, and that the Devil's children would certainly be lost, and therefore there was no use for missions; that Campbell maintained that the Roman Catholic missionaries left the heathen no better or worse than they found them, and that the Protestants themselves needed reformation before they could preach the gospel to the heathen, but his rank Arminianism in the form baptismal regeneration, soon separated him from the Baptists; and his own denomination, to retain and increase their popularity and numbers, abandoned his anti-mission sentiments in which he calls "The Genesis of American Anti-Missionism" or the opposition among the Predestinarian Baptists of the United States to the Roman Catholic methods of evangelizing or proselyting the Word, Mr. Carroll utterly ignores the teachings of the Scriptures and of the Spirit of God, and the methods of preaching the gospel used by the church for sixteen hundred years, and the labors and writings of genuine Baptists all over this country. The poor, ignorant, prejudiced, bitter "Hardshells," he says, have dwindled down to 126,000; while the rich, learned, unprejudiced, gentle Missionaries have increased to more than four millions of communicants; but that, while the Missionaries have routed the "Hardshells," the former have a legion of "Omissionaries" among them, and they must be vitalized, and then, inside of five years, the Missionary Baptists could send a whole gospel (not the mutilated message sent by other Missionary denominations) to all the world and have it preached to every creature. "The missionary movement," he tells us in his last chapter, "has become to us a tree of life, and we have plucked from it its twelve manner of fruits—Foreign Missions, Home Missions, Christian Education, Ministerial Education, Tract Societies, Bible Societies, Publication Societies, State Conventions, Temperance Societies, District Missions, Sunday Schools, and the Southern Baptist Convention. Truly its fruit has been sweet and its leaves potent for the healing of the nations." Thus the Mission Idol seems, in the heart of Mr. Carroll, to have taken the place of the Lord Jesus Christ and the graces of His Spirit.
"All that the Father giveth Me shall come to Me, and him that cometh to Me I will in no wise cast out, but will raise hint up at the last day" (John vi. 37-40). These infallible words of God manifest in the flesh demonstrate the falsehood of the idea at the root of Modern Missionism that millions of human beings are perishing everlastingly for the lack of human efforts for their salvation. Whom shall we believe—God or man? Primitive Baptists say, with the Apostle Paul, "Let God be true, and every man a liar" (Rom. iii. 4). A perverted gospel, a gospel of salvation by grace and works combined, but really a gospel of salvation by works, is not the gospel of Christ, but heathenism, and the heathens are already full of that false philosophy, so that there is no need of sending any more of it to them. But, us in apostolic times, so now among Primitive Baptists, whenever and wherever a true minister of Christ is impressed of the Lord to go to preach the pure gospel of the Son of God, the gospel of salvation by grace, the Lord will open the hearts and purses of His people to help him on his way, and the hearts and homes of the people to whom he is sent to receive him and his message, and the good seed sown on good ground will take root downward and spring up and bear fruit, some thirty, some sixty, and some a hundred fold, to time honor and glory of God alone. Our ministers travel almost all over the United States and in Canada, a region twice as large as time Roman Empire, over which the apostles traveled. and, like the apostles, they go depending upon the Lord, and not sent out by human boards or supported by human societies. There are tens of millions of heathens in this country, which has become, with all its wonderful religious societies, one of the corruptest in the world; and, if the Lord should send any of his ministers to foreign heathens, His people would gladly help them and they would go, and the Lord would go before and with them and would bless and prosper their labors in His holy cause. Upon the great systems of heathen religion Modern Money-Based Missions have made scarcely the slightest impression; but when God wills, these hoary bodies of error will fall instantly, struck 1w the lightning of Omnipotence, and will fall to rise no more.
The ingathering of large numbers of unregenerate persons into a religious denomination is a curse instead of a blessing, and is one of the strongest Bible proofs that such denomination is not the church of God. Only eight persons were saved in the ark (Gen. viii. 13). Ancient Israel were the fewest of all people (Dent. vii. 7). Christ said, in His Sermon on the Mount, that many go the way of destruction, and few find the way of life (Matt. vii. 13, ii); and he called His flock a little one (Luke xii. 32); and asked, "When the Son of man cometh, shall He find faith on the earth?" Luke xviii. 8. And Paul declares that "evil men and seducers will wax worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived"; and that "in the last days perilous times will come, during which men will be lovers of their own selves and or pleasures more than lovers of God, having a form of godliness, but denying the power thereof (2 Tim. iii). If great numbers are the proper test of the correctness of a religious profession, the Missionary Baptists stand but little showing. The most correct religionists would be the Chinese Buddhists; then the Roman Catholics; then the Mohammedans; then the Brahminists then the Greek Catholics; then the Confucianists; then the Taoists; then the Lutherans; then the Episcopalians; then the Presbyterians; then the Methodists; then the Shintoists; then the Jews; then the Missionary Baptists, etc.—the latter occupying the 14th place in time scale. The United States census shows that Primitive Baptists are not dying out, but increasing about as fast as the population, while the Missionary Baptists are increasing faster than the population. Not numbers but the Scriptures furnish the true test of a religious denomination being the church of Christ.
The Primitive or Old School Baptists cling to the doctrines and practices held by Baptist Churches throughout America at the close of the Revolutionary War. This site is dedicated to providing access to our rich heritage, with both historic and contemporary writings.

Red Raider Tennis Ranked 22nd To Start Spring Season
Tim Siegel and the Red Raiders open the spring season ranked No. 22.
Jan. 9, 2012
LUBBOCK, Texas - Texas Tech Red Raider tennis team opens the spring season this week as the nation's No. 22 team, according to the latest Intercollegiate Tennis Association Rankings.
The Big 12 Conference has five members in the Top 25 of the ITA Rankings. Only the Southeastern Conference has more teams in the Top 25 with seven.
Gonzalo Escobar will open the spring season ranked 23rd nationally, thanks in large part to strong showing in the fall that saw the senior go 12-3 overall and 6-3 against nationally-ranked opponents.
The Red Raiders will also see the return of Raony Carvalho to the lineup, who took the fall semester off to compete as an amateur on the ITF Futures Tour in South America. Carvalho was named the 2012 Texas Region Player to Watch and is the only All-American in Red Raider history.
In all, the Texas Tech men's tennis schedule features matches against 20 teams ranked in the ITA Top 75.
Texas Tech opens the season at the Miami Hurricane Invitational in Coral Gables, Fla. The Red Raiders will play split squad matches with No. 11 Texas A&M, No. 17 Illinois and No. 31 Miami beginning Thursday.

College Hockey:Buckeyes Rebound For Split With Broncos
KALAMAZOO, Mich. — After suffering a spectacular third-period collapse on Friday night, Ohio State was all business on Saturday, downing Western Michigan 5-1. Buckeye goaltender Mike Betz had a near-perfect night, turning away 29 of 30 shots.
The OSU special teams in front of Betz were spectacular as well; the Buckeyes killed eight of nine Bronco power plays.
"I thought tonight was a physical game, and our penalty kill was the difference," said OSU head coach John Markell.
Betz proved to be the difference as the Bronco sharpshooters ran dry.
"Our inability to score here tonight is the difference in the game," said WMU head coach Jim Culhane. "Obviously we got frustrated down the stretch, we outshot them 2-1."
The Broncos appeared to score midway through the second period, a goal that would have cut the Buckeye lead in half, but the puck ricocheted off the paddle of a diving Betz. Though the puck looked to have crossed the goal line, no indication was made and play continued.
It didn't take the Buckeyes long to the offense rolling when Bryce Anderson deflected Thomas Welsh's shot from the blue line into the net on the power play, giving OSU the lead, 1-0, at 7:01 of the first.
A little over four minutes later Paul Caponigri gave his club a two-goal advantage as he broke in alone on WMU goaltender Scott Foster. Foster, after being spectacular the previous night, looked human, surrendering four goals on just 17 shots.
Doug Andress' shot from the top of the right circle deflected off a Bronco skater and into the net at just 1:21 into the second period and OSU had a 3-0 lead after two.
All the Broncos could hope for was another four-goal effort in the final period as they had on Friday, but it was not to be.
Vince Bellissimo tallied the lone WMU goal with a power-play effort at 12:36 of the third, pulling his club within 4-1 after a goal by OSU's Matt Beaudoin.
With over three minutes remaining in the period Foster was pulled in favor of the extra attacker, but Scott May stole the puck for the easy empty-net goal, sealing the victory.
The loss was just the Broncos' third to a CCHA opponent at home this year, and just the fifth overall.
With the victory OSU maintains a two-point advantage over WMU in the conference standings.
The Broncos now look ahead to next weekend as they prepare to close out the road portion of their schedule against Miami. The Buckeyes are idle next weekend, before taking on the same Miami club on March 5.

"Teen Mom" star Jenelle Evans has been pregnant for a couple of months after she and her boyfriend Nathan Griffith planned the pregnancy. She was criticized for getting pregnant with Nathan so soon after having an abortion of a child she was expecting with her husband, Courtland Rogers. However, Jenelle has been thrilled about this pregnancy and she has been eager to share everything on Twitter.
According to a new Wetpaint Entertainment report published on May 2, "Teen Mom" star Jenelle Evans is now revealing that she has changed the way she eats and drinks after learning she was carrying her second son, Kaiser. Of course, many people have been skeptical of her pregnancy, because of her eating habits and her smoking. She has admitted that she used to smoke pot prior to getting pregnant.
"It's really easy for me to quit cigarette smoking," Jenelle explains about her pregnancy. "It really hasn't been that big of a problem for me." Considering she is carrying a child, it may have been easy for her to quit. "I actually had to put myself on my my own diet because I would eat fast food or unhealthy stuff and when I ate it, it would give me [really bad] acid reflux and I'd [get sick]. So I eliminated all fast food out of my diet and now I just eat veggies, meats, and nothing that's greasy, spicy, or hot."
However, she does admit that she has some troubles with this pregnancy because of her morning sickness. She admits that if she doesn't have anything in her stomach, that she will get sick. "I can't really have any soda because I get dehydrated, and they think I might be anemic. So it's just complicated," she reveals. Of course, Jenelle is still pregnant, so it sounds like she will have to stick to her healthy diet for now.
What do you think of her pregnancy?
