Sept. 12, 2012
TUCSON - University of Arizona sophomore safety Jared Tevis has been named an honorable mention Jim Thorpe Defensive Back of the Week, it was announced by the association on Wednesday.
A former walk-on, Tevis led a gritty Wildcat defense with his first two career interceptions, a pass breakup and nine tackles in Arizona's upset win over then-No. 18 Oklahoma State on Saturday night. The pair of picks were two of the four turnovers forced by the UA defense, which provided the Wildcats a with a plus-four turnover margin in the game, their largest single game margin since the 2008 opener against Idaho.
After surrendering touchdowns on Oklahoma State's first two drives, UA's defense stiffened up and stopped the Cowboys on the next six possessions. That allowed UA's offense to claim a 23-14 lead late in the second quarter but Oklahoma State was poised to score before half. However, Tevis intercepted a pass at the nine-yard to thwart the scoring attempt and preserve a nine-point halftime lead.
Tevis' second interception helped seal the game in the fourth quarter. With the Wildcats leading by 14, Tevis picked off a Wes Lunt pass at the UA 35-yard line and returned it 32 yards to set up another score to put the game out of reach with a three-touchdown advantage.
Tevis, who plays the "bandit" safety position in the UA 3-3-5 defense, ranks second in the Pac-12 with 21 tackles through two games and No. 3 in the NCAA with two interceptions. On the season, he has tallied 21 tackles and has broken up three passes.
The Wildcats will host South Carolina State on Sat., Sept. 15 at 7:30 p.m. at Arizona Stadium. The game will air on the Pac-12 Networks. Tickets are available at the McKale Center Ticket office, by visiting ArizonaWildcats.com or by calling 520-621-2287 or 1-800-452-CATS.

Not another BATTLEFRONT!!!!

Actually, it'd be nice if it was similiar to Battlefront with regards to online play and to some degree multiplayer play. DeathMatch, CTF and such gets boring and everyone has Halo 2 already. You'd think that with the concept of a Squad in RC, online play would be with a Squad and work similiar to capturing Command Posts. As it stands, the strongest point of RC is the campaign and yet you can't even play that with a friend (in Halo you can). Battlefront has issues certainly. Mainly if playing multiplayer with a friend with splitscreen the person sitting next to you can see your screen and what you're doing...vice versa as well. So if you are multiplayer at home it's you and one friend against computer gernerated forces. Halo 2 is dominating the dorms cuz 4 guys per dorm room can share one TV and X-box. That's what's killing Battlefront or will ultimately kill it, and without multiplayer Squad campaigns why buy another Halo 2 type of game for CTF, Deathmatch, etc? BTW, I'm a Battlefront addict, but only with online play. Once friends are over I have to put it away since they can't play. I really like RC campaign mode, but would love it best if I could play it with a friend or two as well.
I'm not sure what good Clans do for Deathmatch, etc. It's a small arena and all the tactics in the world won't change the chaos of a small environment.

According to the Christian Post on Jan. 25, a Michigan church recently began offering worship services geared toward bringing more men into the congregation and helping with the everyday issues they may face.
A press release announced stated that Connection Church of Canton, Michigan is launching a new church for men only. Man Church is a weekly gathering of men who get together to discuss man-issues and receive their assignments for the next week
Connection Church of Canton held its first "Man Church" service last Thursday. Mike Bartee, the church's pastor of development told Christian Post that the opening service was "awesome," with nearly 90 men in attendance.
Bartee said:
"If men make the unselfish decision to fulfill their obligation to their wives and children, many problems like the fatherless epidemic simply go away. We believe many of the problems facing America today are solvable problems … It's not a religious problem or a socioeconomic problem, it's a man problem."
The format of the service was simple. It was stripped down. It consisted of 30 minutes of teaching and 45 minutes of Table Talk where guys openly discussed the lesson they just heard and issues facing men today. Before the men left, they received their assignment for upcoming events. For example, on St. Patrick's Day, they are setting up tents at bars and providing free rides.
Bartee says that Man Church will be open to any man who wants to make a difference in his home and community. He does not have to attend Connection Church or even like church.
Across the country, several churches are holding events and gatherings meant to address what many social commentators see important male involvement in American culture.
Many churches have a Men's Fellowship or Men's Day, but most traditional churches do not separate males and females for worship services and call it a Man Church meeting on a regular basis as Connection Church of Canton, Michigan is doing with its men.
What do you think of having a Man Church as part of your local assembly?

Carnival's Fun Ship Freddy has some competition -- MSC Cruises has announced that the line is getting its very own onboard mascot.
DO RE MI, a smiling compass with legs and arms, was created for and named by actual kids onboard MSC Cruises' ships -- keeping in line with the musical monikers of the ships in the fleet, such as MSC Opera and MSC Orchestra.
Other cruise lines have designed cartoon mascots for various programs: Norwegian Cruise Line's Water Pollution Program, for example, is headed up by Officer Snook, a whimsical fish; at Labadee, Royal Caribbean's private "island" on the north coast of Hispaniola, a pirate named Labadee Luc graces signage in the children's area. But aside from the obligatory Disney characters onboard Disney Wonder and Disney Magic, and the aforementioned Fun Ship Freddy (an animated red and blue funnel), only DO RE MI walks the decks as a life-sized character.
DO RE MI will be at the gangway to send off and welcome back kids, and will attend pool and disco parties. The logo will also be incorporated into a variety of products to be sold onboard that are currently under development.
DO RE MI debuted onboard MSC Armonia and MSC Sinfonia in November; the mascot will be rolled out fleetwide, according to a spokeswoman for the line, though an exact timeline for completion is not known.

The UCLA men's volleyball team, ranked fourth nationally, returns home for its final three-match homestand of the season.
This week the Bruins (15-10, 10-9) host Cal Baptist on Wed., Apr. 4, followed by a key conference showdown with No. 2 ranked UC Irvine on Fri., Apr. 6. Both matches begin at 7 p.m. in Pauley Pavilion.
Darren Preston will call the live radio action on www.uclabruins.com.
The Cal Baptist Lancers (18-9) are the top-ranked team in the NAIA. On Mar. 27, the Lancers swept No. 5 UC Santa Barbara before defeating Hope International, 3-0 on Mar. 30. Other Division I victories for the Lancers this season include sweeps over No. 3 BYU (Feb. 13) and Penn State (Mar. 16).
Shamsu Awudu and Donald Salaiba are CBU's top scorers, combining for more than nine kills per game. Awudu is hitting .375 and averaging 0.33 aces per game; Salaiba is hitting .343 and averaging 0.64 aces per game.
Two years ago, the Lancers held a two games to one lead against the Bruins before falling in five at Pauley. UCLA leads the series, 3-0.
Second-ranked UC Irvine (22-4, 15-4) has already swept the Bruins twice this season, the last time on Mar. 9 at UCI. Fifth-year Head Coach John Speraw guided the Anteaters to the 2006 NCAA Championship semifinals where they ended their season with a 27-5 record after winning the MPSF regular season title.
Senior All-American outside hitters Matt Webber and Jason Jablonsky combine for nearly eight kills and nine points per game this season for UC Irvine. Setter Matt Thornton ranks among the national leaders at 13.1 assists per game and David Smith and Aaron Harrell are considered one of the best blocking tandems in the country.
UCLA leads the series, 49-7, but has lost four straight to UCI. Six of those UCI victories have come during Speraw's tenure as head coach.
On Saturday, the Bruins played one of their best matches of the season, sweeping USC at the Galen Center. Redshirt freshman quick hitter Shaun Nichols made his first career start and led the Bruins with 13 kills (.579) and 16 points, both career highs.
NOTES: The UC Irvine match will be High School/Club Team Night and Sports Camper Reunion Night. Please call 310-206-3444 for more information or to register a team. UCLA Volleyball bike bottles will be given away to the first 500 fans in attendance at Friday's match vs. the Anteaters.

Some NSVs -- what are yours?
Tuesday, June 25, 2013
I commented on another Sparker's page about NSV's, so I thought I'd share them here. Some of them I am still enjoying, having lost 36 pounds, though some of them are on hold until I lose what I gained.
One NSV so far is that it's been 10 days tomorrow and I've been on track every day. Next week might well be a lot harder, with Mom's open-heart surgery, but at least I have some good habits underway now.
The towel fits around you after a shower.
Feeling comfortable in higher heels again.
No muffin top.
Finding out you need a smaller size of what you tried on.
You might catch someone catching a second glance at you.
You walk up a small incline on the way to work with a friend and the friend is winded and you aren't.
The friend takes the elevator and you take the stairs.
Getting a glimpse of yourself unexpectedly in a store mirror and not realizing at first it's you.
Having more water in the tub for your bath and sinking beneath the waterline without the water draining out the overflow hole!
Buying and wearing belts of all kinds.
Taking a big box of clothes to a local charity place.
Realizing some old favorite foods just aren't that great anymore to you and you don't miss them.
Discovering new healthful foods you DO like now, and even crave.
Realizing everything tastes better when you are truly hungry.
Saying, "Yes, I'm a runner." (insert your favorite activity)
Not dreading various gatherings for fear of who you will see, who will see you, what you will wear, etc.
Knowing you are in the minority of Americans who are not overweight.
Knowing people are not judging you by your weight. Whatever it is, it's not about the weight.
Not having your kids fear that they are doomed to your weight fate.
Hopping on the back of a motorcycle when a friend offers you a ride.
Less hip, back, foot, shoulder, etc. pain.
Knowing your aging years can still be healthy and active.
People asking, "What are you DOING?!" and you say, "Eating right and exercising," and they get a sad look. I don't know why this is an NSV, but it kind of is. Like you finally figured it out, and it's not magic.
Helping people who are ready to eat right and exercise.
Not needing to wear panty hose in summer.
Buying cute underwear.
Being able to wear ANYTHING in your closet.
Feeling good about yourself on a daily basis, instead of guilty or irritated or disappointed.
Feeling strong. "Yes, I can do that." "Let me carry it." "I'll lift that for you."

Awesome! When I get down or feel like I am sliding I need to remind myself of all those NSV! Definitely all victories and they feel wonderful! It is amazing how many we have and more...:-)

I agree with your NSVs and would like to add a couple:
Wearing shoes that aren't Wides
Fitting on to the roller coaster your DD challenged you to ride
For reminding me it's not all about the weight.

"In my 23-year career, I can't recall us having this amount of shots fired in one incident," Police Chief Vernon Riddick Jr. said.
Three people suffered minor gunshot wounds in the melee, police said. Two men were shot in the ankle, and the other was shot in the hip.
About 150 people were in the bar when a fight broke out shortly after 4 a.m., said Acting Deputy Chief Christopher Corbett. Bouncers pushed the fight into the parking lot, where gunshots were fired.
By the time police arrived, the shooters had already fled. The scene was chaotic and one of the victims crashed his car on Railroad Hill Street as he tried to leave.
Police found 29 shell casings in the parking lot. At least three guns were used, but police declined to say what kind of guns because the investigation is ongoing.
There were at least two shooters, Corbett said. Police believe the fight may have started with a dispute over a woman, he said.
Police obtained an arrest warrant Saturday for 32-year-old Javier Vazquez, whose last known address was in Stratford, who police believe is one of the shooters.
When he's found, he will be charged with carrying a pistol without a permit, unlawful discharge of a firearm and two counts of criminal attempt to commit first-degree assault, Corbett said. His bond will be set at $750,000.
Police are searching for Vazquez and are "in the process of identifying other suspects," Corbett said. Anyone with information is asked to call CrimeStoppers at 203-755-1234. Cash rewards are offered for information that leads to an arrest.
There have been so many problems at Pandora's Cabaret, which opened last February, Riddick said he's looking into shutting it down under the Nuisance Abatement and Quality of Life Act.
"We are not going to tolerate this at all," Riddick said. "We're going to use whatever enforcement actions we're allowed to use to stop this immediately."
The law allows the State's Attorney's Office to take action "to abate a public nuisance" on property where three or more arrests are made for crimes that occurred during a one-year period.
Police said there have been other fights, an armed robbery and another incident where shots fired at Pandora's Cabaret in the last year. While investigating Saturday's shootings, police determined that there had been other gun-related incidents at the club that had not been reported to police.
The police department is also increasing patrols in the area.
Coincidentally, police officers who were stationed at Pandora's early Saturday were called to an accident in different part of the city shortly before the fight began, Riddick said.
State laws require bars to stop serving alcohol at 2 a.m. on weekends, but Pandora's recently lost its liquor license and stays open until 5 a.m., according to its Facebook page. Patrons are allowed to bring their own alcohol.
Police were still at the scene on Saturday and Pandora's Cabaret was not open for business.

@Below Me, your comment is ludicrous since these people do not have permits, never passed a background check, obtained their guns illegally and used illegal high cap magazines. That's why the new law is ineffective - only honest law-abiding people will follow it. Criminals will not EVER, so it does nothing to reduce crime or stop this type of shooting nor will it prevent another Sandy Hook.
@Cheri, I absolutely love your sarcasm, which I'm sure is lost on all too many readers of this paper.
@Bucky, you say others should identify themselves, but you don't! Classic do as I say not as I do, died in the wool, liberal Democrat rhetoric. What's next? Claiming you voted for Obama because YOU are NOT a racist? LOLROTF!!!!! "

@bucky- the forum here is what it is. i post nothing here that has not appeared under my name on facebook, yahoo, cnn, or any other such place. i frequently invite friends from those sites to look in here, especially at the mind-numbing posts from a certain bank teller/cpa/cfo/hr director/rich kid from western ct.
instead of pointing fingers, and using the standard al sharton formula, how about offering a constructive comment. maybe you could tell us how you live in the neighborhood, and will be contacting your elected representatives to express your displeasure it's current status. or how you're forming a neighborhood watch to help the police keep track of the local thugs.
or, maybe, you're part of the problem. "

Did dinosaurs ever really exist?
If they did, how can Christian creationists reconcile dinosaurs with a young earth?
SOME CHRISTIANS THINK DINOSAURS DIDN'T EXIST. This is because:
- Evolutionists say dinosaurs lived millions of years ago.
- These Christians believe the world was created only thousands of years ago.
But they have confused the argument. Dinosaurs definitely did exist. They are not creatures of myth or fantasy.
You can go to almost any large museum and see either real fossil bones of dinosaurs or reconstructions of dinosaurs from bones in other museums.
Despite this, some Christians are reluctant to accept the evidence for dinosaurs because they think it conflicts with their belief that the earth is younger than evolutionists say.
Their reasoning is this:
- Evolutionists say dinosaurs lived millions of years ago.
- I believe the Bible when it implies the earth is only thousands of years old.
- Therefore dinosaurs couldn't have existed.
But their line of reasoning should be:
- There is overwhelming evidence that dinosaurs existed. They even went on Noah's Ark.
- I believe the Bible when it implies the earth is only thousands of years old.
- Therefore evolutionists are wrong about the age of the earth.
They have simply expressed the argument the wrong way.
Dinosaurs in the Bible?
Some creationists believe that the Bible mentions dinosaurs. In Job 40:15, God describes a creature He calls "Behemoth". God's description of Behemoth does not fit any known living animal, but it does fit the description of some dinosaurs.
Some commentators have suggested it describes a hippopotamus, but Behemoth moved its "tail like a cedar" tree — a hippo's tail is like a piece of rope. What medication do these people take to make them think this is describing a hippopotamus's tail? It's impossible (or, as some people have said, it's an "impotamus" — an "impossible hippopotamus".)
God was describing a real creature here. If Behemoth was an invention — a mythical creature or an animal of fantasy — then it would have meant nothing to Job because it wouldn't be describing anything Job could compare it to. So whatever the creature was, it was living during Job's time around 4000 years ago.
When were dinosaurs created?
The Book of Genesis says God created the land animals on the sixth day of Creation Week. Dinosaurs were land animals, so they must have been created on the sixth day along with Adam and Eve (Genesis 1:24-31).
Dinosaur art
Many ancient societies have produced art that shows giant dinosaur-like creatures.
Even some art from only hundreds of years ago seems to depict dinosaurs. A famous stone carving on a temple of Angkor, in the jungle of Cambodia, appears to show a Stegosaurus, even though this carving is only about 800 years old.
In Carlisle Cathedral in the United Kingdom lies the tomb of 15th century Bishop Richard Bell. What is remarkable about this tomb is that it has a brass engraving on it that seems to clearly depict dinosaurs. And this was several hundred years before the word dinosaur was invented and when people started finding dinosaur bones.
The inference is that dinosaurs may have been living not so long ago.
Creationists have found dinosaur fossils
Scientists have found dinosaur fossils and fossilized dinosaur eggs that show us there was an amazing variety of dinosaurs. Some were as small as rats (such as the Mussaurus). Others, like the Brachiosaurus, were so large that their heads would have towered over some of the tallest trees. Some of these big dinosaurs had tails as strong and thick as cedar trees.
Dinosaur fossils have even been found by creationists on their ranches and lands in the United States. These Christians would have a hard time explaining away these bones if dinosaurs never existed.
No dinosaur evolution
Importantly, even though there was such a variety of dinosaurs, evolutionists have never found evidence that another creature turned into a dinosaur, or even that one kind of dinosaur evolved into another. Dinosaurs all just appear in the fossil record clearly identifiable as dinosaurs. Even the alleged "feathered dinosaurs" have clearly been described as dinosaurs — not as something turning into dinosaurs.
If you want to reject evolution and believe the account in Genesis that God created all creatures as fully functioning — and much as we know them today — then the evidence is on your side.
Did dinosaurs exist?
They most certainly did. God made some incredible creatures!

This is especially interesting in that it is testimony from a non-Jewish and apparently secular expert on Mideast affairs.
The Edinburgh Student's Association made a motion to boycott all things Israeli since they claim Israel is under an apartheid regime. Dr. Denis MacEoin (a non-Jew) is an expert in Middle Eastern affairs.
Here is his letter to those students.
Denis MacEoin, a senior editor of the Middle East Quarterly, addresses
The Committee
Edinburgh University Student Association
Received by e-mail from the author, Denis MacEoin, a senior editor of the Middle East Quarterly,
The Committee Edinburgh University Student Association
May I be permitted to say a few words to members of the EUSA? I am an Edinburgh graduate (MA 1975) who studied Persian, Arabic and Islamic History in Buccleuch Place under William Montgomery Watt and Laurence Elwell Sutton, two of Britain's great Middle East experts in their day. I later went on to do a PhD at Cambridge and to teach Arabic and Islamic Studies at Newcastle University. Naturally, I am the author of several books and hundreds of articles in this field.
I say all that to show that I am well informed in Middle Eastern affairs and that, for that reason, I am shocked and disheartened by the EUSA motion and vote. I am shocked for a simple reason: there is not and has never been a system of apartheid in Israel. That is not my opinion, that is fact that can be tested against reality by any Edinburgh student, should he or she choose to visit Israel to see for themselves.
Let me spell this out, since I have the impression that those member of EUSA who voted for this motion are absolutely clueless in matters concerning Israel, and that they are, in all likelihood, the victims of extremely biased propaganda coming from the anti-Israel lobby. Being anti-Israel is not in itself objectionable. But I'm not talking about ordinary criticism of Israel. I'm speaking of a hatred that permits itself no boundaries in the lies and myths it pours out. Thus, Israel is repeatedly referred to as a "Nazi" state. In what sense is this true, even as a metaphor? Where are the Israeli concentration camps? The einzatsgruppen? The SS? The Nuremberg Laws? The Final Solution? None of these things nor anything remotely resembling them exists in Israel, precisely because the Jews more than anyone on earth, understand what Nazism stood for. It is claimed that there has been an Israeli Holocaust in Gaza (or elsewhere). Where? When? No honest historian would treat that claim with anything but the contempt it deserves. But calling Jews 'Nazis' and saying they have committed a Holocaust is as basic a way to subvert historical fact as anything I can think of.
|Muslims and Jews walking in Jerusalem
Arabs in Israel can go anywhere they want, unlike blacks in apartheid South Africa. They use public transport, they eat in restaurants, they go to swimming pools, they use libraries, they go to cinemas alongside Jews--something no blacks could do in South Africa. Israeli hospitals not only treat Jews and Arabs, they also treat Palestinians from Gaza or the West Bank. On the same wards, in the same operating theatres.
In Israel, women have the same rights as men: there is no gender apartheid. Gay men and women face no restrictions, and Palestinian gays often escape into Israel, knowing they may be killed at home. It seems bizarre to me that LGBT groups call for a boycott of Israel and say nothing about countries like Iran, where gay men are hanged or stoned to death. That illustrates a mindset that beggars belief. Intelligent students thinking it's better to be silent about regimes that kill gay people, but good to condemn the only country in the Middle East that rescue and protect gay people.
Is that supposed to be a sick joke?
University is supposed to be about learning to use your brain, to think rationally, to examine evidence, to reach conclusions based on solid evidence, to compare sources, to weigh up one view against one or more others. If the best Edinburgh can now produce are students who have no idea how to do any of these things, then the future is bleak. I do not object to well documented criticism of Israel. I do object when supposedly intelligent people single the Jewish state out above states that are horrific in their treatment of their populations. We are going through the biggest upheaval in the Middle East since the 7th and 8th centuries, and it's clear that Arabs and Iranians are rebelling against terrifying regimes that fight back by killing their own citizens. Israel citizens, Jews and Arabs alike, do not rebel (though they are free to protest). Yet Edinburgh students mount no demonstrations and call for no boycotts against Libya, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Yemen, and Iran. They prefer to make false accusations against one of the world's freest countries, the only country in the Middle East that has taken in Darfur refugees, the only country in the Middle East that gives refuge to gay men and women, the only country in the Middle East that protects the Baha'is.... Need I go on? The imbalance is perceptible, and it sheds no credit on anyone who voted for this boycott.
I ask you to show some common sense. Get information from the Israeli embassy. Ask for some speakers. Listen to more than one side. Do not make your minds up until you have given a fair hearing to both parties. You have a duty to your students, and that is to protect them from one-sided argument. They are not at university to be propagandized. And they are certainly not there to be tricked into anti-Semitism by punishing one country among all the countries of the world, which happens to be the only Jewish state. If there had been a single Jewish state in the 1930s (which, sadly, there was not), don't you think Adolf Hitler would have decided to boycott it? Of course he would, and he would not have stopped there. Your generation has a duty to ensure that the perennial racism of anti-Semitism never sets down roots among you. Today, however, there are clear signs that it has done so and is putting down more. You have a chance to avert a very great evil, simply by using reason and a sense of fair play. Please tell me that this makes sense. I have given you some of the evidence. It's up to you to find out more.
Yours sincerely,
Dr. Denis MacEoin

Justin Bieber Surprises Ellen DeGeneres With Hair to Give to Charity
Justin Bieber makes a surprise guest appearance on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show," which airs later today, and not only talks about his new shorter haircut, but also gives DeGeneres a lock of his cut off hair.
Here's a little bit from Bieber's chat with Ellen DeGeneres:
Ellen: Look at your cute little haircut! You got a brand new haircut. Don't you love his haircut? Cheers I like it.
Justin: I was inspired by yours.
Ellen: By my haircut?
Justin: By yours.
Ellen: I know, eventually it'd come around. It's adorable. Were people like, "Hey, don't cut it!" Were people freaking out?
Justin: Yeah, but I was like, "I don't really care."
Ellen: I like it because you can't do the same thing over and over again. You have to change it up. I think it's great. I love your haircut.
Justin: Thank you.
Then Bieber gives DeGeneres a belated birthday gift. (Her birthday was January 26.)
Ellen: Is it really your hair?
Justin: Yes, it's really my hair. But there's a perk. I wanted to do something good. I'm giving pieces of it to different people.
Ellen: So I'm not the only one getting it? I asked a long time ago for it.
Justin: The thing is, we're doing something special. We want you to donate it to whatever charity you want.
Ellen: Really? I can auction it off if I put it on my website?
Justin: Yes.
Ellen: You have to sign this and also. And it's your hair for sure. It's not that doll hair you tried to give me before.
Justin: Yes. It's my hair.
Ellen: You're going to sign this and I'm going to auction this off on our website. I'm going to give the money to the Gentle Barn which is a great organization.
("Gentle Barn" is an animal-rescue center in Santa Clarita, California.)

Audio: "And I really enjoy working with the families and the parents. Sometimes when they're frustrated, you know, and they're in the room for, you know, day after day and it's a long day and nurses and doctors can only come in so often. So, you know, as child life specialists, we try to check in with the families and ask them—even if it's a cup of coffee—do you need something? Or just to be an ear to listen, you know, it really helps with the family-centered care."

Audio: "I spend a lot of time talking directly to the child if they're old enough to interact with me. The little infants, I play with them, cuddle them, make them laugh. I mean that's really fun. And I think the parents, it puts them at ease knowing that the person they're seeing truly cares about their baby, their child and them."

Audio: "I try to educate the parents so that we can be teammates because they see the kid 24/7, 365; I see them every three weeks, five weeks, six months, a year.

Audio: "I think having your own children and being a parent makes you much more empathetic with parents when they call at 2:00 AM and say, 'My child is crying or is awake and no one is sleeping,' having lived through many sleepless nights with my own kids when they're sick and when they're up. And even the common cold, when someone's been crying for four hours, it's stressful to deal with and I think it helps me to relate to them better and to know what they're going through."

Child Seriously Injured, Father Jailed

Sheboygan man charged with injuring 7-week old
SHEBOYGAN, Wis.(WHBL) - A Sheboygan man is facing a charge of felony physical abuse of a child and his 7-week old daughter remains hospitalized at Children's Hospital in Milwaukee. 32 year old George Kuble was formally charged yesterday in Sheboygan County Court. Authorities said police were called to St. Nicholas Hospital last Friday after the infant was brought in with a skull fracture. It was later determined the child also had broken ribs that were in the process of healing. Police said Kuble first denied causing the injuries but later tearfully admitted he had become frustrated when the infant wouldn't sleep. He said he grabbed her with both hands around her chest and squeezed her than threw her onto a couch where she struck her head. Kuble is facing up to 15 years in prison, if convicted.

$$ f(x) = \ln(1+x)$$
The previous part of this question required me to write down the remainder term for the taylor polynomial of order n.
My remainder term worked out to be:
$$R_n(x) = (-1)^n \frac{x^{n+1}}{n+1}$$
I checked this manually, and it seemed to be correct.
For this question I am quite sure I need to solve for $n$, such that $R_n(x) < 0.0002$.
I have:
$$(-1)^n \frac{(0.3)^{n+1}}{n+1} < 0.0002 $$
(I have $0.3$ for $x$, since $\ln(1+0.3) = \ln(1.3)$.) Am I on the right track here? I am a little stuck with the algebra. I have:
$$ (-1)^n(0.3)^{(n+1)} < 0.0002(n+1) $$
I have tried to take the natural log of both sides, but it seems like I can't isolate the $n$.
Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Books from Flagship
The QuickBooks Farm Accounting Cookbook is a 370-page
how-to guide and reference for anyone who uses the QuickBooks
software in agriculture: farmers, ranchers, accountants, tax
preparers, extension personnel, and teachers and students of
vocational agriculture.
This book has nothing to do with cooking! The name Cookbook
comes from how the book presents transaction examples: each example
is a self-contained description of what you need to know about
entering a certain type of transaction, much like a recipe describes
the ingredients and steps for making a cake. Why this arrangement?
It lets you find answers to your accounting questions quickly...without
the need to read several chapters for background information.
keep borrowing this book from my mother-in-law...it's time I
owned my own copy. Very good for all levels of QB users :)"
Author Mark Wilsdorf has worked with agricultural software
and accounting since the 1980s, as editor of AgriComp
magazine, as a farm computing columnist for Doane's Agricultural
Computing newsletter, as a developer of software and training

ALBUQUERQUE, N.M. - Arizona held off a late New Mexico rally to edge the Lobo women's basketball team, 50-49, Saturday night at The Pit. The Wildcats improve to 8-2 for the season, while UNM falls to 6-4.
With the scored tied at 47, Aimee Grzyb nailed a 3-pointer from the corner to put Arizona up 50-47 with 1:15 remaining. The Lobos cut the lead to one as Lindsey Arndt hit a shot in the paint with 40 seconds left. After an Arizona turnover, UNM called a timeout with 8.2 seconds remaining in the game. UNM had its chance to win at the end as Lobo guard Fatima Maddox drove the ball down the length of the floor and dished the ball to Abbie Letz, but Letz missed a short jumper at the buzzer.
Senior Melissa Forest recorded a double-double for the Lobos with a
team-high 12 points and 10 rebounds. Freshman Katie Montgomery and
junior Mandi Moore each poured in nine points.
Junior Danielle Adefeso led Arizona with a career-high 14 points.
New Mexico led for most of the first half, but Arizona rattled off an 11-2 run to open the second half to take a 33-29 lead. UNM went back ahead 37-35 on a Montgomery 3-pointer at the 12:20 mark. The Wildcats then took control, building a 45-39 lead with 7:40 remaining.
But then things got interesting. Preseason All-American Shawntinince Polk - who had 13 points in the game - picked up her fourth foul at the 7:50 point, and the Lobos took full advantage of her absence, going on an 8-2 run with her out of the game. Arndt capped the run with a jumper, giving the Lobos a 47-45 lead. Polk tied the game at 47 before fouling out with 1:50 left.
The Lobos dominated most of the first half, leading by as many as 14 points at one stretch, but only took a 27-20 lead into the locker room. UNM went on a 16-0 run from the 14:30 mark to 9:10 to take a 21- 7 advantage, fueled by four straight 3-pointer's. U of A then broke a six-minute scoring drought with a bucket at the 8:30 mark, and closed the gap to seven points with a 11-4 run to end the half. Forest led the Lobos with 10 points at the half.
The Wildcats dominated the post, outscoring UNM in the paint 42-18. The Lobos hit seven 3-pointer's in the game compared to Arizona's two - but only shot 20 percent (7-35) from beyond the arc. Arizona also used its speed, producing 10 fast break points to the Lobos' two.

Drama Department Presents - The Importance of Being Earnest
By Oscar Wilde
A classical example of the well made play,"and frequently described as perhaps the most famous of all English language comedies, this well mannered 19th Century farce has been keeping audiences in stitches ever since it appeared on the scene on Valentines Day 1895. Filled with Wilde's delicious witticisms, Earnest is said to have been written in response to a request for a play "with no serious interest."
December 5, 8 p.m. (First dress preview $10)
Box Office: 415.485.9385
* There will be a talkback with the director and members of the production following this performance.

My pregnancy thus far has been a pain. Between dramatic weight gain (I had zero morning sickness, just incredible hunger), high blood pressure, weird heart issues and constant palpitations, thyroid disease that has been complicated thanks to pregnancy, and breast pain called Reynauds (insanely painful) I do not see HOW the heck I'll want to get pregnant again! I mean, I've always dreamed of having at least two kids, but now I'm starting to rethink it.
So, BTDT Moms: is it true? Will I forget?

* The complex contained three camps and at least 36 sub-camps which were built outside the town of Oswiecim, on an isolated 15 sq mile site, between 1940-1942.
* Auschwitz I was built for Polish political prisoners in June 1940.
* Auschwitz II or Birkenau, built in October 1941, held more than 100,000 and was the main site of mass killings. Gas chambers and crematoria capable of disposing of about 2,000 a day were built at Birkenau. By 1944 some 6,000 a day were being killed.
* Auschwitz III supplied forced-labour for the nearby I G Farben plant.
* Between 1.2-1.5 million people died at the camps, of whom about 1 million were Jewish.
* Other groups of people who died included Polish political prisoners, Soviet prisoners of war, Gypsies, homosexuals, people with disabilities and prisoners of conscience or religious faith.
* The camp was liberated by Soviet soldiers on January 27, 1945.
* About 200,000 inmates of the camp between 1940-45 survived.
* Out of a total of about 7,000 guards at Auschwitz, including 170 female staff, 750 were prosecuted and punished once Nazi Germany was defeated.

Along with these boards it also has seperate message boards for crew calls, acting classes/seminars, film festivals, movie reviews, and scam postings.

These members will also post about auditions not included on the site so as to give other users the opportunity to submit for these listings. The artistic community fostered by this website is unrivaled by any other audition site that I have come across.

It's the annual meeting of the beer minds. It's where craft beer meets fancy convention without the fancy dress. It's the 2011 Craft Brewers Conference in San Francisco, the nation's largest gathering for professionals in the brewing industry.
Every year the Brewer's Association hosts the Craft Brewers Conference, an opportunity for craft beer professionals to meet, talk and learn about happenings in the industry or new technologies, collaborate on new projects or just see old friends.
The conference opens with a keynote from brewing legends Fritz Maytag, former owner of Anchor Steam, and Ken Grossman of Sierra Nevada. Maytag is often considered the father of the craft beer movement and is revered for his focus on high quality and flavor in beer that makes craft beer what it is.
Grossman, who was inspired by Maytag, started Sierra Nevada when there were less than 50 breweries in the U.S. Today, there are over 1,600 operating breweries, the most since pre-prohibition times.
"I'm thrilled to welcome two pioneers of the craft brewing industry to the stage at this year's CBC," said Paul Gatza, Brewers Association director. Fritz and Ken have a collaborative relationship and focus on quality and flavor that represents a key part of the heritage of craft brewing."
The conference also includes workshops that cover almost every facet of the brewing industry, from technical topics such as fermentation and hops varieties to startups, taxes and sales.
The BrewExpo America, the nations largest trade show for the craft beer industry will feature over 200 vendors from every aspect of the industry as well.
And of course there will be beer. Hospitality suites will be showcasing some of the craft brewing industry's finest and a commemorative four-pack was brewed just for the conference. The four-pack, dubbed "Symposium Ales", includes an IPA, an Oyster Stout, a Sour Brown and a Porter.
The conference began with an Opening Ceremony on Wednesday with the keynote, BrewExpo and sessions starting today and wraps up on Saturday night.

Eight Mile Creek Puts Kangaroo Back on the Menu
The Aussie restaurant has apparently won the right to serve kangaroo meat.
A couple of years ago, Public was fined for serving kangaroo meat and a year later, Eight Mile Creek was also forced to take its kangy skewers off the menu. Unlike Public, the Aussies at Eight Mile got hopping mad and decided to fight for their right to serve marsupials. It looks like they've prevailed, because they've put 'roo back on the menu, per a tweet today: "@grubstreetny KANGAROO!!! Tried it? Like it? Love it? We got it ;) come by ... It's delicious!" We've contacted Eight Mile to find out just how they managed to prevail in kangaroo court and will let you know what we hear.

Deborah Smith Ford's newly released children's book is the second book in the Allie's Adventures series, called The Little Goat in Africa.
The book series is about adventures seen through the eyes of a child named Allie. In the series' second book, Allie continues her adventures by traveling from New York to Florida and then to Kenya, where she explores the country and helps her parents work as missionaries. Best of all, she goes on many adventures where she meets new friends and animals along the way. The new book is longer and richer in culture and description; it's geared toward children ages 9-12. The detailed illustrations for both chapter books are drawn by illustrator Susi Galloway Newell.
Her first book in the series, The Little Apple, tells the story of a little girl living on an apple orchard. The book is inspired by the author's upbringing on a farm, for children ages 3-6. It's "a sneak peek at a child's perspective and personal feelings when it comes to family, friends, home, pets and farm life."
The Little Apple includes small touches for young children, like a set of apples to count for each page number, and delicious apple recipes in the back––a fun activity for both parents and their kids.
Deborah Smith Ford has a background in the entertainment industry: in modeling, theater, and the acting world. She was raised on a farm in upstate New York and has spent most of her life in Southwestern Florida, where she attended college and raised a family. She is most active in a variety of roles for independent and feature films, celebrity look-alikes, television series, and commercials.
In recent years, Ford has turned to writing children's books, and enjoys every bit of the process. She especially enjoys the opportunity to write for children. As they continue to read, they're free to discover their interests and passions.
The Little Apple has won eight awards; four of which include book festivals in Paris, New York City, San Francisco, and Hollywood.
She recently spoke at the Thomas Edison & Ford Estates in Fort Myers, Florida where she presented her books as part of an adventure camp program for children.
Deborah is currently on tour around the country, where she will be promoting the books at book fairs and festivals starting in September.
You can buy The Little Goat in Africa and The Little Apple on Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.
The Little Apple is available as a paperback book or as an NOOK or Kindle eBook edition.
There's also an accompanying music CD and audio edition of The Little Apple, available on iTunes.

Easter Sunday
Sunday, April 20, 2014
Easter Sunday
Easter Date April 20, 2014
The real meaning of Easter, is the Resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. To Christians, it is the most special day of the year. Yes, the birth of Christ is quite important. But, his resurrection offers the hope of everlasting life to everyone! The Lenten season leading up to Easter Sunday is a time of fasting, sacrifice and prayer. It is the christian way of replicating in a small way what Christ sacrificed for us, both in his fasting and his final death on the cross.
Easter also also is celebrated with the Easter Bunny, colored eggs, jelly beans, and lot's of chocolate. He (or she, as we are never quite sure about this) comes on Saturday night leading to Easter Sunday morning. He brings lots of chocolates and other candies. That's one meaning to Easter, especially if you are a kid or a "Chocolaholic".
There is a famous Easter game called the Easter Egg Hunt. Early morning kids go outside to find the many colored Easter eggs that the Easter bunny has hidden the night before. The Easter Egg Hunt was the first game ever invented. It is said that the reason this tradition started was because of the Easter Bunny dropped the eggs on the way to deliver them and they hide themselves. That is how the Easter Egg Hunt was supposedly invented.
Most of us will celebrate both parts of this spring holiday. Upon awakening Easter Sunday morning, the children will hunt for the Easter basket left by the Easter Bunny. Then the family will dress in their finest new spring clothes, and go off to church to celebrate Christ's resurrection. From there, the holiday tradition varies. Some have a big breakfast of brunch feast. Other family will have a big main meal with baked ham being the most common meat. Brightly colored hard boiled eggs will also be popular. It is not a day for high cholesterol diets. It is a day to feast as the long lenten season is over and Christ has arisen.
Setting the date: The date for Easter changes every year. It is the first Sunday after the full moon following the spring equinox.
Easter Thought to Ponder: The nice thing about being senile is, you can hide your own Easter eggs.

The SkyTrak 13 Weather Team is already tracking reduced visibilities due to patchy dense fog. The visibility has dipped below a mile in Bloomington. Patchy dense fog will continue to form overnight and may cause a few issues early Tuesday. Morning temperatures will be in the 50s. After the fog lifts, it will be sunny and near 80 degrees.
Highs in the 80s are forecast through the start of the weekend. We are also tracking an unsettled weather pattern set to develop later this week. Right now rain chances are forecast to arrive on Thursday. A few storms are in the Friday forecast and storms on Saturday could be strong. We will keep you updated on the timing of the rain chances as we get closer to the end of the week. A blast of cooler air arrives on Sunday. Temperatures will back into the 50s on Sunday afternoon.

I have a Cisco RV110W small office router (this configuration process is common to many Linksys/Cisco routers) and I am trying to define QuickVPN clients. When add a client of type "QuickVPN" the router gives me the following warning:
(You can find a larger version of the screenshot here
"WARNING: In order to ensure proper functionality, the router will need to change its IP address to 10.x.x.1 to avoid conflicts with the remote network. You will need to reboot all PCs and network devices connected to the router. If you have set static IP addresses on any device or if you are using port forwarding, you will need to update its IP address to the new IP range to operate properly. Would you like to continue?"
My internal subnet is 192.168.1.0/255.255.255.0. I don't understand the warning message since a 10.x.x.1 network can just as easily conflict with a remote network as a 192.168.1.x network can.
How shoud I proceed?

EWU head coach Beau Baldwin was not the only one with a smile on their face following the start of spring football camp last Thursday.
For a workday the smiles sure were plentiful last Thursday.
That's likely because the Eastern Washington University Eagles hit the football field for the first time since Dec. 17 of last year and their gut-wrenching 45-42 loss to Sam Houston State University in the Football Championship Subdivision semifinals.
They appear quite eager to try to get the taste of that bitter defeat out of their mouths and begin preparation to hopefully make another deep playoff run in 2013.
