A beautiful soul with a voice of a hummingbird
That one april day..when Aaliyah went away.....
An actual REAL singer, a beautiful kindhearted person who tragically died in a plane crash. She is the only artist I know of where I like every single one of her songs I have ever heard. She can actually sing, and she sings about real things not like today. Also she looks like a real person, not all computerized. She also looks like a 'real' person, like someone you can talk to.
Aaliyah songs are amazing.

REPUBLIC - A Pennsylvania man was injured when he rolled a semi northeast of Republic Sunday night.
According to the Fremont post of State Highway Patrol, Dennis F. Long, 59, of Cranesville, was taken to Mercy Tiffin Hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
He had been driving a semi westbound on SR 18.

A semi hauling drywall overturned on SR 18, northeast of Republic, Sunday night.
Drywall that spilled from an overturned semi is piled on SR 18 Sunday night.
Lt. Brent Meredith said Long drove off the right side of the road, brought the semi back onto the road, overcorrected and rolled it.
Sgt. Angel Burgos said witnesses and a trooper assisted and were able to get Long out of the truck.
No citations had been issued Sunday night. Alcohol was believed to be a factor, Meredith said.
The semi, which was hauling drywall, landed near the yard of Gary Weller, 3614 N. SR 18. He said the home he previously lived in, which was built in 1867, was hit by a semi transporting hogs at 3 a.m. Oct. 9, 1962.
A semi hauling hogs could not continue on SR 18 due to the accident and was stopped near Weller's home Sunday night.
Weller said the accident that occurred 50 years ago pinned his wife's legs on the bed and destroyed their home. She still has scars on her leg from it, he said.
"We're lucky," he said.
Weller also was home during Sunday's accident.
"I heard it. ... I was watching television," he said.
The crash, which was under investigation Sunday night, shut down SR 18. Burgos said it probably would remain closed for a few hours.
Personnel from Green Springs fire, Republic EMS, Seneca County Sheriff's Office and State Highway Patrol responded to the crash, which occurred around 9:30 p.m.

Just Judgement? - Louis - 20-12-2007
This will perhaps sound a little confused but I thought I would bring up a couple of areas to do with Britains current situation, socially and politically, and Christianity as well as my own political views. This is merely out of interest, it would be good to see what others think and get guidance in reconciling secular views with Christianity.
The first query I thought of was when reading about Anglo Saxon kings and their Christian laws. I wonder how right is it to judge others when Christ told us to be wary of such judgement. For instance it is my opinion that the British nation needs a renewed, Christian based morality as currently (especially amongst the youth) ideas of right and wrong are dissapearing. You could say Britain was becoming an amoral society in some respects. What right have I got to judge and wish for a renewal, is this a Chrisitan position? Most Christians believe in order, the state, and just laws, most also completly oppose the evils of Anarhcism and Communism. For intance, I would favour tougher penalities in law on criminals for instance and I would favour using the states power and local gov. power to encourage marriage, family values, the Church, etc. Is this the unwise judgement Christ warned of, or is this the activity of a good Christian and patriot?
The second area is how far should the state be 'religious'. I have in a way formed my own opinion of the states duty (in terms of secular reasoning) that reconciles itself with my Christianity. Namely that the state should reflect its nation (i.e. the ethnic groups of the English, Welsh, Scottish and N.Irish collectively known as the British) and Christianity still maintains an important role in our ethnicity. Thus the state still should support our Chrisitian institutions, festivals, church etc in a way that it wouldnt do for other religions. The instrusion of Islam into the public sphere is something I am opposed to whilst the pushing away of Christianity is something that concerns me - the reasoning however is secular (let me clear I support religious freedom for all, both in terms of Christianity and secular reasoning. I am purely talking about the public sphere/the states role, or the local councils role in promoting and defending the religion of our nation).
What is the religious justification for this beyond the reasoning that God empowers a nation-state, a monarch, a leader etc. I assume it is simply that God is true, Christianity is correct and therefore it must be so, but such reasoning does not bode well in the liberal democracies of Europe. On the other hand the above secular reasoning really has nothing religious about it, on the assumtion that God is true one does not need anymore reason than that for the state to defend His Church (whilst, of course, maintaining Christian values in the Church's treatment of all humans). From this perspective is there any real religious argument against not preserving the Christian institutions, celebrations, festivals, attitudes and values, states-role that are in the British nation-state?
This is perhaps a rather confused posting without any direct questions. Just thought it would be an interesting point of discussion. I realise that some of the above will refer to Anglican institutions but this post really refers to Christianity as a whole but I welcome, obviously, Orthodox views on it.
Good questions - John Charmley - 20-12-2007
Dear Louis,
Not at all confused, and some good clear questions for us to discuss.
When you write:
Quote:What is the religious justification for this beyond the reasoning that God empowers a nation-state, a monarch, a leader etc. I assume it is simply that God is true, Christianity is correct and therefore it must be so, but such reasoning does not bode well in the liberal democracies of Europethis is where caution is needed.
The justification for thinking that God sanctions any particular form of government of type of polity has a tendency to be circular and self-referential. This is in part because there is no scriptural or patristic evidence that God cares what type of polity of government we adopt - as long as it is one that allows the practice of the True Faith and does not encourage evil to prosper; the evidence that democracy is particularly good at either of these things seems wanting. But because, from Constantine's time onwards the Church has been heavily involved with the State in the Eastern Empire, Russia, Greece and the UK, as well as in European politics before Napoleon, Christian apologists have tended to praise what is as what should be; to take their own situation as the ideal. This certainly flatters rulers, and it has tended to be good for the status and safety of senior ecclesiastics; that it has been good for the propagation of the True Faith seems, again, a proposition more easily made than verified.
Our Lord Himself was happy that we should render to Caesar those things which are his, and to God what is rightly His; that, perhaps, ought to be a guiding principle for us in this realm?
There have been times when Christian Socialists have used the former to justify the latter, just as Christian democrats have done likewise; there is not much sign that Christianity has benefited from this connection. Indeed, in this world, marred as it is by sin, the notion that a Christian politics is possible was tested close to destruction by Gladstone in the nineteenth century. There has seldom, if ever, been a more devout Christian Prime Minister, and he certainly saw politics as a mission-field; but the compromises and shifts needed by the world of politics sat uneasily alongside his own Christian world-view. That was in an era when the Church of England commanded a respect and a membership which it could not dream of today; now Mr. Blair, another devout Christian, has admitted he didn't often mention his faith because 'people would have thought I was a nutter'; and they would have done so, I fear.
The question of the relationship between Church, State and those outside the Church was a vexed one in the UK between 1688 and 1828-29. During that period the Anglican Church and the political nation (i.e. the electorate and the ruling class) were identical. But the difficult was what to do about the Nonconformists and the Catholics. For a long while annual bills of exemption were passed, but they allowed only those non-conscientious Protestants and Catholics to vote; those who held their religious convictions from the heart were excluded. In the end the political nation gave in and enfranchised both dissenters and then Catholics. To favour one Church now would not only be impossible - it wouldn't be too good I suspect for the BOC!
I don't know that Christianity suggests any particular form of politics: I am a monarchist of a liberal-conservative political bent, but all my faith suggests politically is that we should exercise love and compassion towards our fellows; it doesn't suggest what the bank-rate might be!
Does the experience of the Oriental Orthodox Churches, none of them heavily involved with the State, suggest another way in which the Church can be in this world? It is perhaps worth pondering.
In Christ,
just judgement - kirk yacoub - 21-12-2007
Dear Louis and John,
It is impossible for any state to be religious if we regard religion as our relationship with God and with our fellow human beings in the way that God requires of us. A state is a secular organisation which is based on coercion, but religion, particularly Christianity, must be based on love and must acquiesce to God's gift of free will. No particular political system or ideology can be religious because it is based on human reason, which is very imperfect.
There is no such thing as a British nation. As someone with Irish blood I understand that very well. Nor can a modern state reflect a nation because narrow ethnicity is not the basis for many nation states. In fact the Roman Empire could not reflect a nation. The idea of nation states is very backward in the sense that St Paul teaches us that their is neither Jew nor Gentile.
There is no intrusion of Islam into British society. What is intruding is the double-headed false coin minted and put into circulation by both terrorists (who have nothing to do with Islam - see a previous post by me on this)
and the British state who seem to work in collusion on this, supported by the ignorant media. Anti-Islamic thoughts and utterances are anti-Christian because we must love and pray for everyone.
The use of laws to enforce a particular set of beliefs is not Christian because it means Christian involvement in the state, which is wrong because Christianity is not about a political programme but the spreading of God's love to everyone, regardless. The use of laws is against God's love because it is a use of coercion, denying God's love and mercy. God never uses coercion.
Love and mercy cannot be forced onto anyone, neither individuals nor groups. it is something that can only be given by us to others through God's grace. Prison sentences are irrelevant because they are merely human tools which have never worked. A marriage and family life can only be based on love, not what someone outside of any relationship demands.
Perhaps all this sounds too harsh, but in reality it is the opposite. The
human race has never tried God's love and mercy because of our sinful state. The Christian Eucharistic community endeavours to put God's love and mercy into practice, filled by God's spirit, which is the new wine which cannot fit into the old skin of the worldly state and laws.

- Louis - 21-12-2007
Dear John,
Thank you for your reply. Some interesting points. I agree that Christianity doesnt really endorse any form of politics, and yes it is between the individual, the Church and God. I wouldnt want to live in a theocracy!
I just feel there are some aspects in the public sphere and good government that could assist in protecting and celebrating our Christian cultural aspects in the nation as opposed to its current dismantling of our Christian traditions. Surely the current political correct liberalism of the states of Western Europe is doing vast damage to the Christian faith and thus to the salvation of individuals souls? Im afraid although we may not all like it but surely the secular, consumerist craved, divided Britain of tommorow is not as healthy for the faith as the strong Christian, family based nation of the past. Perhaps a bit idealistic but these words contain some truth i think.
A very minor example is Nativity plays in state schools. I would wish for them to remain, as we are after all still a Christian nation. (or nations as Kirk points out)
Your words of caution are heeded though, our true spiritual leaders must and will remain the Church. Having a seperate Church hierachy definately helps solve this problem, it prevents the massive involvement like in Islamic countries of the state where any powerful Iman can interpretate and practice Islam as they see it!
God bless,
Dear Kirk,
While I dont want to argue about secular politics which Im sure we all have different views I shall just state some brief replies. I do believe there is a general British culture however I also recognise that in reality the nations are that of the Irish, Scottish, English and Welsh, they are the national ethnic groups, whilst Britain as a nation is a dubious question. In terms of the nation-state I would still very much endorse this idea as the most happy and healthy form of a country, I believe God has blesses all the different peoples in the world and this blessed diversity across the world should not be a bad thing.
In regards to coercing others, I wasnt proposing a theocracy like the papal states or Iran, such systems I utterly oppose. I was only suggesting that the state should promote and protect religious instituions, festivals, traditions etc. of the nation. One small example may be the christmas lights that some councils have in the past few years not put up, I believe this is wrong of them. In terms of marriage for example, I did not mean forcing it upon people but encouraging family values, perhaps with economic benefits for those who marry etc. Again this rather pushes into the secular area of reasoning, this is why I was worried about posting such a difficult topic!
I would, im afraid, argue the point on Islam. Christians must show love to all man as individuals which I strive to do, however I dont wish to muddle a system of beliefs with individuals. I extend my Christian ethic in my treatment of all humans but Islam as a system of belief, as a theory, is something I cannot endorse. Islamic terrorists as far as I am aware are quite in line in terms of Islamic teaching, the Koran is the apparent literal word of Allah after all and Mohhamed spread his religion by the sword.
Does the Church not warn of evil doctrines and false prophets?
I will heed your words below, as a Christian I recognise that however the state behaves my salvation is between myself and God.
'The human race has never tried God's love and mercy because of our sinful state. The Christian Eucharistic community endeavours to put God's love and mercy into practice, filled by God's spirit, which is the new wine which cannot fit into the old skin of the worldly state and laws.'
God bless,
just judgement - kirk yacoub - 22-12-2007
Dear Louis,
Regarding Islam please read my post in the 'General Conversation'
section under the heading 'O England, My Country', dated Sat June 09.
You will see that I base everything on the writings of His Holiness Moran Mor Ignatios Zaka I Iwas, the present Patriarch of the Syriac Orthodox Church, who was born in Iraq and resides in Syria.
A thought to ponder on is that one of the greatest of the Desert Fathers,
Abba Poeman, explained that we should not be legislators for other people, we should be examples.
With prayers,
Kirk Yacoub
- John Charmley - 22-12-2007
Dear Louis, Dear Kirk,
An interesting and stimulating exchange which raises very important questions.
We in the West are at an interesting point in history. The culture we inherited in the UK was largely influenced by the Christian history of this country, and its laws and morality (which were once closer together than they are now) reflected that. The culture we live in now has large sections which are driven by a secular - and secularising - agenda. The way for this was in part paved by Protestant Christianity.
The large area allowed for private judgement, the neglect of the claims of antiquity and the contesting of the claims of authority are not, in origin, secular phenomena; but they have helped light the way to a secular liberalism which depends upon private judgement and substitutes the authority of a revealed Truth with that of an elected government: vox dei replaced by vox populi. Antiquity is, literally, the past, and as a 'young country' what matters is the here and now. It starts by questioning parts of the Faith and ends by questioning all faith in everything. Since we are here once only, all morality should relate to oneself and the getting of happiness here and now.
But mankind is a worshipping animal, and deprived of God, it will revert to the worship of Mammon.
How do we, as believers in a revealed Truth live in that society? Perhaps the way our first Christian ancestors did in Pagan Rome. When one reads St. Irenaeus on heresies and St. Jerome on the morality of his society, we are not, after all, in territory unfamiliar to Christians.
Of course we may feel that it would be good if some of the symbols of our faith remain in society; but emptied of their significance they can become totems rather than icons. I am almost persuaded that I'd rather have 'winterval' than Christ's mass parodied in the way it is in so much of our society; almost, but not!
In Christ,

Local law enforcement are still searching for the man who opened fire on a clerk during a vicious shooting at the Rich Oil gas station along the Beverly Five-lane in Elkins Friday night.
Although officials have yet to crack the case, Brady said Monday the sheriff's office is leaving no stone unturned.
"We are following up on all leads that are being provided to us by community members," Brady said.

Members of the West Virginia State Police gather evidence following the shooting at Rich Oil on Friday. Police are still following leads and searching for the suspect. (The Inter-Mountain photo by Anthony Gaynor)
"We've received several calls from the public, and the state police as well as the city police are working with us. We are combing the area in an effort to determine who the suspect is."
Brady, though, said there are no persons of interest at this time.
"We consider this person armed and dangerous due to the fact that he fired several rounds at the clerk and was armed with firearms," Brady cautioned.
"We ask the public to be very vigilant and pay attention to any suspicious persons outside of any businesses."
According to previous reports, a white male wearing dark-colored pants, a dark-colored jacket and a hooded sweatshirt approached the gas station just after 11 p.m. Friday and fired several shots at clerk Shawn Townsend. The shooter then reportedly ran away, heading in the direction of Glenmore Loop Road.
Randolph County Sheriff Mark Brady has described the shooter as being between 5-foot-6 and 5-foot-9 inches tall and weighing approximately 135 to 150 pounds.
Townsend, the victim in the shooting, has been released from the hospital, Brady said. He suffered a severe eye injury, resulting in partial loss of his vision, as well as facial injuries caused by either shattered glass or bullet fragments.
"A bullet actually grazed the top of his head," Brady said. "An inch lower would have resulted in his death."
Anyone with any information is asked to call RCSO via the nonemergency number for the Randolph County E-911 Center at 304-637-3561 or the anonymous tip line at 304-636-TIPS (304-636-8477).
"We are taking this incident very seriously and devoting our resources to trying to bring this person to justice," Brady said.

FC Barcelona transfer rumours are here, and we'll be breaking down all of the latest news and notes about Barca's offseason targets.
Barcelona is the best club in the world, having just come off a victory against Manchester United in the Champions League final. Barca also has the best player in the world in Lionel Messi, the sport's biggest star.
However, that won't stop the club from going out and spending money to get top talent to improve the roster. There have been countless rumors about Arsenal's Cesc Fabregas, and it's a saga that's sure to carry on deep into the summer.
Will Barca land the Spainard, or will he stay with the Gunners for another season? We will try and answer that question as the offseason continues.
As always, there is no need to refresh the page, as the updates will come straight to you. If you have anything to say, make sure to leave it in the comments below.

Family posts Grinch sign to get stolen snowman back
The search is on for a giant inflatable snowman, which was stolen from a home on Candy Cane Lane in West Allis.
The neighborhood is transformed into a winter wonderland each year to benefit the MACC Fund.
Resident Teresa Dombrowski said she's lived on the street home for seven years. She said her family woke up Monday morning to find the 16-foot decoration gone.
"It was really sad. We didn't know what to do. So I said, let's set up a sign and see what happens," said Dombrowski.
The family put up a sign saying, "Dear Grinch, bring back our Frosty."
They've also set up a Facebook page in hopes the person who took the snowman, returns it.

Prevent age-related muscle loss by eating protein-rich foods, such as lean meat, fish, soy, eggs and nuts.
Some muscle mass loss with aging is inevitable, but that doesn't mean you have to end up with sarcopenia, a condition in which loss of muscle mass is associated with a decline in muscle function, according to Roger Fielding, Ph.D., director of the Nutrition, Exercise Physiology, and Sarcopenia Laboratory under the Jean Mayer U.S. Department of Agriculture Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University.
Not surprisingly, experts advise adequate protein intake as part of a balanced diet and exercise, with a focus on strength training, to manage or prevent sarcopenia. Is avoiding sarcopenia that simple? To find out, Environmental Nutrition explores the science behind muscle mass and function loss, and provides answers to common questions about how to preserve your muscles as you age.
How much muscle do you lose?
We know from observing elite athletes as they age that they experience declines in performance, telling us that some muscle loss occurs in our 30s and 40s. Yet, how much we lose is unclear. Population studies reveal that at around age 50, muscle mass loss averages 1 to 2 percent per year.
We may not notice acute losses, because "muscle is a dynamic tissue, and there's a tremendous reserve capacity," says Fielding. "If you simply lose muscle mass, it may have very little impact on your body's ability to function. In your early 60s, we start to see that this loss may begin to affect physical ability." This makes sense, given muscle strength declines at an average rate of 3 percent per year after 60, and by our 70s we've lost an estimated 20 to 40 percent of our strength.
Why do you lose muscle mass and strength? Activity and dietary patterns play important roles in muscle maintenance, but they don't paint the whole picture. Natural physiological shifts take place during aging that correlate to declines in muscle health, including the following:
1. Loss of nerve cells that tell the brain to move your muscles. Fast-twitch muscle fibers, which give you strength and mass, become smaller and fat infiltrates into the muscle.
2. Hormonal changes associated with muscle loss. Men lose testosterone, women lose estrogen, and both lose growth hormone and insulin-like growth factor.
3. Vascular changes. Blood vessel function becomes impaired, affecting the delivery of blood and nutrients to the muscles.
4. The body becomes slightly more acidic as the kidneys age. Acidic environments trigger protein breakdown.
How much protein do you need?
Compelling research indicates that with age your ability to utilize protein to support and synthesize muscle may be blunted. Consequently, the adequacy of the recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for protein of 0.8 grams per kilogram per day (g/kg/d) for older people has come into question. But no scientific consensus has been reached.
A new position paper on the nutritional needs for older adults (age 60 and older) published in the August 2012 Journal of the Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics suggests a range of protein intake between 1 to 1.6 g/kg/d. Fielding advises 1 to 1.2 g/kg/d for people over 60 to maintain and build muscle mass, as well as to ensure adequate intake of the essential amino acid leucine.
Fielding explains, "Leucine has a potent effect on stimulating muscle protein synthesis. If you consume protein foods that are rich in leucine, they seem to stimulate muscle protein synthesis more than other comparable protein foods." Sources of leucine include milk, whey, tuna, beef, chicken, soy, peanuts and eggs.
For a man weighing about 154 pounds, 1 to 1.2 g/kg/d of protein equates to 70 to 84 g, compared to 56 g recommended at the current RDA level. With this kind of increase in protein, should you be concerned about kidney health? In the absence of kidney disease, Fielding reports no safety concerns. He adds, "The effects of protein intake on renal function are largely overstated."
The Academy of Nutrition and Dietetics position paper suggests an intake of about 25 to 30 g of protein at each meal for older adults. You can achieve this intake level by including protein-rich foods, such as lean meat, poultry, fish and seafood, eggs, dairy products, beans, lentils, soy foods, nuts and seeds at each meal. In addition, servings of whole grains and vegetables can also help you meet your protein goals.
The bottom line
There are no approved medications at this time to manage or prevent sarcopenia, although researchers are attempting to identify safe and effective treatments.
In the meantime, balanced diets with adequate protein and strength training are the best and only tools we have to combat muscle mass and strength losses.
Despite a lack of scientific consensus for an increased protein recommendation for older adults, it may be worth upping your intake slightly to support and build muscle, especially if you're engaging in strength training.

The singer joined forces with Miley Cyrus – with a special cameo from several dancers dressed as bears – at Sunday's MTV Video Music Awards to perform a medley of their summer jams.
Cyrus and said bears kicked off the performance with her hit, "We Can't Stop," which she twerked through until Thicke took the Barclays Center stage in a referee costume.
After stripping into a nude two-piece, a grinding-Cyrus did the impossible – making Thicke's "Blurred Lines" even racier. The audience may have put their hands together for Lady Gaga, but Cyrus turned a foam hand prop into the target of some major pelvic-thrusts that could make VMAs buds Taylor Swift and Selena Gomez blush.
Also joined by 2 Chainz and Kendrick Lamar, they ended their performance with "Give It 2 U" – and a little more dirty dancing.
That was dope. Shout out to @MileyCyrus @kendricklamar @2chainz #VMA pic.twitter.com/Lva7RV8tAG— Robin Thicke (@robinthicke) August 26, 2013
But this is how you (and other viewers) felt about Miley's VMAs get-down:

Fact: Lines change many times throughout the season.
Fact: Certain lines play together more than others for a clear majority of the 82-game season.
Fact: Pav and Z still display occasional remnants of their "Euro Twins" magical chemistry.
Fact: At the same time, Pav and Z as centers on their own separate lines leads to stronger depth.
Fact: Bears... beets... Battlestar Galactica.
With all that in mind, should Pav and Z play on the same line for the majority of this season (ES, PP, etc.)? Or is the magic all but dead in the water?

A Purdue University plant breeder and geneticist whose sorghum research won him the 2009 World Food Prize will be honored during a daylong celebration Thursday (Oct. 22) on Purdue's West Lafayette campus.
During Gebisa Ejeta Day, the Distinguished Professor of Agronomy will speak on "The Pursuit of Purpose-Driven Science." A public reception will follow the lecture, and Purdue students are sponsoring activities to raise awareness of world hunger.
"Gebisa has devoted his career to fighting hunger," said Jay Akridge, Purdue's Glenn W. Sample Dean of Agriculture. "It seems appropriate to honor him by engaging the Purdue community in a discussion of the issue and in helping fight hunger in our own community and around the world."
Ejeta received the World Food Prize Oct. 15 in Des Moines, Iowa, from the World Food Prize Foundation. The award is considered the Nobel Prize of agriculture. Ejeta was selected as a World Food Prize laureate for his research leading to improved sorghum varieties in his native Ethiopia and other African nations. Sorghum is a major food crop for more than 500 million people on the African continent.
Ejeta's Thursday (Oct. 22) lecture is open to the public and takes place at 2 p.m. in Stewart Center's Fowler Hall. Immediately after the lecture, the public is invited to a reception in Ejeta's honor in the Purdue Memorial Union South Ballroom.
Students in Purdue's College of Agriculture and War on Hunger organization plan to spend Gebisa Ejeta Day doing their part to fight global hunger, said Tim Kerr, assistant director for academic excellence in the College of Agriculture's Office of Academic Programs.
"They will collect food at the mini-marts at Meredith and Tarkington residence halls and then take the food items collected to Lafayette Urban Ministry," Kerr said.
"Also, students will distribute 1,000 granola bars on campus to represent a percentage of the caloric intake of someone from a third-world country. Attached to the granola bars will be a message explaining the significance of the day and asking the individual to consider ways they can impact the war on hunger."
On the eve of Gebisa Ejeta Day, Purdue students will hold a hunger banquet. The banquet takes place from 6-7:30 p.m. Wednesday (Oct. 21) in the West Faculty Lounge of the Memorial Union.
The banquet illustrates how food availability and consumption varies around the world.
Banquet guests draw a ticket assigning them to a high-, middle- or low-income tier as determined by World Development Report statistics. They then are served a meal representative of what people in those income levels would eat each day. The 15 percent of guests in the high-income tier receive a gourmet meal. The 25 percent in the middle-income tier dine on rice and beans, while the 60 percent in the low-income tier wait in line for small portions of rice and water.
"Through this activity we hope to educate students and motivate them to help find solutions to end poverty and hunger," Kerr said.
In 1994 eight tons of Ejeta's drought-tolerant and Striga-resistant sorghum seeds were distributed to the African nations of Eritrea, Ethiopia, Kenya, Mali, Mozambique, Niger, Rwanda, Senegal, Somalia, Sudan, Tanzania and Zimbabwe. Farmers in those countries reported yields of as much as four times larger than traditional sorghum crops.
Read more about Ejeta's life and research in the fall issue of Connections, Purdue's agricultural alumni publication. More information about the World Food Prize Foundation and Prize is available at http://www.worldfoodprize.org.

"I never celebrated my birthday after my husband died," said Radziwill, who stated she initially wasn't looking forward to celebrating her 50th, "but I feel sexy and empowered and strong."
Although New York's health department nixed the snakes, Heather Thomson, who planned Radziwill's birthday bash, was able to infuse NYC with Southern charm as well as all the dirty secrets from John Berendt's best seller.
"Jacques and I broke up, and it's really hard," LuAnn de Lesseps admitted at the party. "We have been bickering back and forth … for months."
Continued the countess, who had been in a four-year relationship: "He's my rock, he's my best friend, [but] we don't want the same things anymore."
It appeared, however, that Sonja Morgan and boyfriend Harry Dubin did, especially after he presented her with a stunning ring at the party.
"I want to be with you," said Dubin.
"You mean between the sheets," replied Morgan, who dated and broke up with Dubin 25 years ago.
"No, I want this to work," he said, kissing her passionately. "I'd like to take it to another level … This is a ring for you. It's not your engagement ring, but it's a step to that."
Continued Dubin: "I'll get you a bigger one … This is just a ring to tell you how much I love and care for you."
"He knows me. He gets me. Maybe it's just meant to be," said a giddy Morgan.
But when Morgan went to show the ring to Ramona Singer, who said the couple's relationship was "just going in circles," Dubin seemed to be making the moves on the countess.
And when Morgan went to find him minutes later, the man of her dreams was allegedly seen taking off with the newly single De Lesseps in a cab.
Could the countess – with whom Morgan has battled this season – be the brunette "devil in disguise" in Morgan's "inner circle" that her psychic warned her about earlier in the show?
Meanwhile, the other housewives seem to be battling their own demons – Kristen Taekman and her husband, Josh, go to see a marriage counselor, and Singer gets very emotional about her daughter, Avery, leaving for college.
The season finale of The Real Housewives of New York City airs Tuesday (9 p.m. ET) on Bravo.

Baseball's Ninth-Inning Heroics Beat Kent State 5-4
A ninth inning single up the middle by Sean Kennedy scored the winning run in the Ball State baseball team's 5-4 Mid-American Conference win over Kent State at Ball Diamond Saturday afternoon.
With the win, the Cardinals improved to 34-16 overall and 18-4 in MAC play, while the Golden Flashes fell to 31-18 overall and 14-9 in the MAC. Ball State leads the MAC West Division, while Kent State entered the weekend as the leaders of the MAC East Division.
"Wow, what a victory," Ball State head coach Rich Maloney said. "Celebrating a come-from-behind victory in front of a good home crowd against an outstanding Kent State team was truly special. Proud of our guys never say die attitude. Fun to see the boy's so happy."
After Kent State took a 4-3 lead in the top of the ninth and put the MAC's leading reliever Eric Dorsch on the mound, Ball State rallied for two runs to take the first two games of the three-game series. Dorsch entered the game with a MAC-best 10 saves on the season, but the Cardinals managed to score two runs and take the game by a 5-4 margin and give Dorsch his third loss in four decisions.
With one out in the bottom of the ninth, Alex Call reached on an error by the Kent State second baseman who could not handle a pop up slightly onto the outfield grass. Ryan Spaulding followed with a double off the right field wall and the Cardinals had runners on second and third. Sean Godfrey, who leads the MAC in hits and runs-batted-in, was intentionally walked to load the bases. Cole Griesinger was called to the plate as a pinch hitter by Ball State head coach Rich Maloney and battled a 3-2 count by fouling off two pitches before being walked and allowing the tying run to score.
With the game all tied at 4-4 and bases loaded with one out in the bottom of the ninth, Kennedy smacked a shot right up the middle to score Spaulding and give the Cardinals the 5-4 victory and two straight wins over the Golden Flashes in the three-game series.
Zach Plesac earned the pitching victory for the Cardinals to improve to 11-2 on the season after coming on in relief of starter Scott Baker. Baker pitched seven innings, allowing three earned runs and striking out four, before Plesac threw the final two frames, allowing one run and striking out one to get the win.
After Ball State took a 3-0 lead with a three-run third inning behind and RBI single from Spaulding and a two-RBI double from Jarett Rindfleisch, the Flashes responded with two runs in the fourth and one in the fifth to tie the game at 3-3. Kent State threatened in the seventh inning and put runners on first and second with one out, but a Kyle Raleigh diving catch on a line shot down the left field line helped the Cardinals get out of the inning with the game still tied at three.
Call was 3-for-5 on the day with two runs scored, while Kennedy's ninth-inning game winner was his first hit of the contest and ended his contest with a 1-for-3 performance. Spaulding managed to go 2-for-4 from the plate with one RBI and two runs scored, while Rindfleisch was 1-for-3 with two RBI.
Ball State will host the Flashes in the final game of the series Sunday as the Cardinals honor their 11 seniors in a Senior Day/Mother's Day contest at 1 p.m. at Ball Diamond.

Snapshot: Trainer Terry Lucas

Snapshot: Trainer Terry Lucas
Someone looking to train for an Illinois Concealed Carry license can choose from 2,817 certified trainers in the state and beyond as of mid-March.
One is the FBI National Academy historian, a retired Illinois Army National Guard lieutenant colonel with more than 40 years experience with the Illinois State Police and U.S. Department of Justice — not to mention more than 500 hours of firearms instruction from an alphabet soup of state and federal agencies: FBI, DEA, ISP, Secret Service, U.S. military.
Terry Lucas offered his first 16-hour training course to a group of acquaintances and friends in February as a dry run before opening up enrollment in nearly monthly sessions available to the general public for the rest of the year. Some sessions are planned for veterans only; another is reserved for women.
"I'm a strong proponent of people being able to protect themselves," Lucas said. "I want to share the knowledge and experience I've been fortunate enough to have. What I stress is safe weapon handling and trying to avoid the situation where you might have to use that firearm."
Law enforcement personnel throughout the state instantly recognize Lucas' name from his most recent role with the U.S. Department of Justice, where he was the federal liaison for local police in the Central District of Illinois for the U.S. Attorney's Office.
But it was during his 28 years with the Illinois State Police before taking that federal position that Lucas had the experience most relevant to the practice of carrying a concealed firearm. He spent years undercover. The ability to hide a weapon was tantamount to hiding his identity as a police officer.
"For me, as a plain-clothes undercover guy, I didn't want anybody to know I was a cop," Lucas said.
Yet weapons can't be hidden so deeply that they can't be reached in a moment of crisis. Lucas illustrates that and other finer points of concealed carry through real-life lessons learned from his career.
"You can have the most firepower going, but if you can't get to it, it's not going to do you any good," he said.
Beyond the basics of safety and easily-accessible concealability for firearms, the course Lucas developed instills a real-life sense of responsibility for those who want a concealed carry license.
Those who commit to carry should also commit to developing and maintaining "perishable" shooting skills. To match the most likely situations where a firearm could be used, that means being able to fire off balance or while moving and engaging multiple targets at close range in dim lighting.
"Those factors are almost always going to be there," Lucas said. "People don't think about that — they just think it's cool to carry a firearm, but it's an awesome responsibility."
— Matt Buedel, GateHouse Media Illinois
PEORIA — By the time the first concealed carry licenses hit Illinois mailboxes this month, state police had fielded tens of thousands of applications from residents.
By March 6, some 48,951 applicants had completed the online forms requesting a permit. The application process opened Jan. 5.
Cook County led the state with 12,027 applicants. There also were more Cook County applications that received objections from law enforcement than any other county: 664. Still, the state's most populous county also represented the lowest concentration of applicants per capita, with 2.3 applications per 1,000 residents.
The home of Chicago is the only county in the state with an average of fewer than 2.5 applicants per 1,000 residents.
The greatest concentrations reside in Hardin and White counties in far southern Illinois, topping the per-capita list at 12.5 applications per 1,000 residents each. Hardin and White represent only 54 and 184 applications, respectively.
Advocates for concealed carry point to the deluge in applications as evidence of a strong interest by citizens in exercising Second Amendment rights and complimented state police on meeting deadlines to establish the permitting process.
"Some people said they would wait until the last minute to issue these, but that's not the case," said Illinois Carry spokeswoman Valinda Rowe. "Right now, we think the process is moving right along. The Illinois State Police are doing a great job."
Deliberative process
The Illinois Carry group formed a decade ago, about the same time neighboring Missouri lawmakers established a concealed carry law. The group's goal was to advocate for similar legislation in Illinois.
The law in Illinois did not happen until a federal appeals court ruled as unconstitutional the state's ban on concealed carry in December 2012 and gave lawmakers six months to craft legislation in response. Illinois lawmakers took seven months to approve a bill, and then gave state troopers six additional months to develop and implement a regulatory system.
That's where the Jan. 5 deadline to accept applications originated. But police created a training framework first, allowing trainers to be certified and begin hosting mandatory 16-hour training sessions well before the first date applicants could submit. Certified trainers were allowed to apply for a concealed carry license Dec. 18 as a test of the online application system.
Those who were first in line for licenses expected wait times of 90 to 120 days, the statutory timelines that are contingent upon whether electronic fingerprints were submitted to expedite the process of verifying identities and performing background checks. The shorter approval time was reserved for those who paid extra money to have the electronic fingerprints recorded.
The application review process includes a 30-day window for local law enforcement agencies to submit objections over applicants who have arrest records that could be incompatible with carrying a concealed weapon but don't fit within the scope of automatic statutory denials — such as having a felony conviction.
Page 2 of 2 - Including that objection review period, early license approvals have been coming through in 65 to 75 days, regardless of whether electronic fingerprints were submitted, Rowe said.
The Illinois Carry group and gun-control advocates, however, continue to push for changes to the law. Both sides focus primarily on the 23 categories of places where concealed weapons remain prohibited — and whether that list should expand or contract.
Among the most contentious places where hidden weapons remain off limits are parks and public transportation, though the law also prohibits concealed firearms in government buildings, hospitals and on university campuses.
"You have to look at the areas where crimes are committed and take away the ones that don't make sense — that's the area of our primary concern," Rowe said. "People in those places are still in jeopardy."
Letting the law unfold
More than a dozen bills that would amend the concealed carry law have been proposed, though lawmakers on both sides of the issue claim amendments are unlikely to pass. The law was created through compromise and should be allowed to unfold before any changes are made, they maintain.
Police, meanwhile, have been circulating training materials to officers to guide them through several possible scenarios they could encounter under the law, including varying levels of cooperation from license holders.
"The biggest thing that the training really pushes is common sense," said Mike Oyer, director of the Mobile Training Unit 7 of the Illinois Law Enforcement Training & Standards Board. There are 16 units in the state, and Oyer covers law enforcement agencies in Peoria, Tazewell and Woodford counties.
Each law enforcement agency is responsible for developing its own policy on how to respond to concealed carry cases, and those responses will depend on input from the state's attorney in the jurisdiction.
Generally, officers are instructed to make firearm-related arrests for those who have a permit but are carrying their weapon in an unauthorized area, a violation of the state's concealed carry law. This could lead to a misdemeanor charge and result in the revocation of a license. The same firearm-carrying violation by someone without a permit could result in a felony charge of unlawful use of a weapon under a different section of the criminal code.
"Each situation should be taken on a case-by-case basis — this law is like every other law in that respect," Oyer said. "The Legislature can't spell everything out. That's what the courts are for — to interpret. The courts are going to make or break the law, one way or another."

6 Ways 'Fallout: New Vegas' Made Me a Worse Person
I Am Utterly Shameless
That son of a bitching Thirst Gauge: You can go days without food and sleep, but one sneeze and all that's left of you is a little Star Trek-esque pile of minerals. Now combine that with being a serious alcoholic in the nuclear Mojave desert, and that means you're drinking. A lot. Thankfully, later in the game you get your own hotel suite, complete with bathroom, and therefore water source. However, it is laid out in such a way that, upon entering the little alcove, the toilet is immediately to your left, and the sink is just beyond it. At first I tried to pretend like I was a real human being with integrity and inherent value, but the truth soon won out: If there were no health consequences and I didn't have to taste it, I would drink out of the toilet provided that it was two feet closer to the door.
On the one hand, it's the worst toilet I've ever seen. On the other, I hate walking....
And it's not like your character is alone in that suite: Every one of your companions is also there: Taking down time, reflecting on the dangers they've faced so far, contemplating the fleeting value of human life in this ruined world, wishing they'd spent more time with their loved ones, and occasionally pausing to chase the messiah of the wastes out of the bathroom because somebody forgot to put the seat down.
If I'd Realized This About Myself Sooner:
Well, sure, it's only two measly feet further to the sink - but that shit adds up. I've crunched the numbers. Over my lifetime, cutting out those two feet would have saved me roughly 500 foot miles. So which would you rather do: Walk five hundred blistering miles, or drink just a little bit of toilet water? Yeah, that's what I thought. Glass houses, motherfucker. Glass. Houses.
I Will Go Gay (But Only if I'm Fairly Certain I Can't Take You in a Fight)
Now, I don't want to spoil anything, but there is a point in New Vegas where you find yourself alone in a room with the man who tried to kill you. You will have the two standard DOB-options (heretofore shortened to DOBtions): You can fight him, or you can fuck him.
I tried shooting him at first, but he gunned me down. After seeing how that worked out, I reloaded my game and immediately bent over the dresser for him. Then I killed him while he slept, presumably while crying and sobbing out the lyrics to The Crying Game.
"I...know..all there is...to know..."
In the end, it's not that I'm bothered by the game forcing these two options on me: It's that I only tried fighting him the one time. Maybe it was a fluke that he won, maybe it was a lucky shot, or he had some weakness I could've spotted the second time around - but no, I lost a fight and so I immediately gave it up to a man that has hurt me in the past, and has no respect for me as a person.
I spent the rest of the game wandering the radioactive wreckage, looking for a battered women's shelter still left untouched by the bombs.
If I'd Realized This About Myself Sooner:
On the plus side, I bet Jeremy Sanders, my middle-school bully, would have liked me a whole lot better. On the down side, I would have spent the summer of '93 in Camp Selfquest being de-gayed by sexually confused Baptists, instead of how I actually spent it, which was watching Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle re-runs.
And that was a good show; there's a lot you pick up on the second time around.
I Do Not Value Human Life
This is best illustrated through an anecdote: Long before I discovered my soulmate, The Woman Who Makes Whiskey Hurt Less, I was roaming the destroyed countryside with a charming, hip young lesbian so full of quirky idiosyncrasies that I half-expected Michael Cera to come jogging up across the shattered highways in hilariously short shorts and retro knee-socks to profess his love for her. I'd grown somewhat attached to the girl, and we'd been through a lot together. And then somehow, we wandered onto a small hill that was also a portal to hell: Gigantic, horrible mutants with rocket launchers, mini-guns and humungous, brutal swords descended on us. But we held together, we did not panic, and somehow -- when the dust had settled and the fires went out -- we were victorious. Shell-shocked, drenched in blood, but alive! Alive!
And then one mutant de-cloaked behind her predator-style (oh hey, they can do that? Rad.) and chopped her in half. After I had killed him, I was left with a decision: Do I re-load the game, bringing the precocious young spitfire back to life, where she can laugh and joke again, or do I save over that file, because now I have like sixteen missile launchers?
That's an easy one!
I erased her life. And I felt nothing.
Later in the game, a soldier glitched out and shot my dog; I murdered the entire town with a dress cane before finally managing to find the 'reload' option through the tears.
If I'd Realized This About Myself Sooner:
I would know more dogs and fewer people. I'm actually totally okay with this one.

If famed British naturalist David Attenborough ever dreamed up a pet shop, it might look something like Covet, an Exotic Emporium in Ventura.
Here, day geckos and jungle carpet pythons peer curiously from behind leaf and stone. Fiery sunsets and windswept seas adorn the shop's surrounding wall; a vibrant fusion of color rivaling the psychedelic patterns on the panther chameleon perched nearby. Add to that the trickling sound of running water and lush, green vegetation, and the shop feels more like a nature sanctuary than a run-of-the-mill pet store.
But Covet's role as a sanctuary for the community's youth is what really sets it apart.
"We basically cater to the kids," said Dee Williams, reptile enthusiast and co-owner of Covet along with 9-year-old son Justus. "[The store] creates a hunger for knowledge. When you see something really fantastic that you've never seen before, that you never knew existed, it makes you hunger for knowledge."
And the people behind Covet aim to satisfy that hunger for knowledge. While some pet stores focus solely on making a sale, Covet strives to educate young minds on the natural history and habits of the animals in their possession.
"I wanted someplace that would allow [kids] to see an animal from Madagascar and to learn about this animal's natural habitat," said Williams, "and then learn how to re-create this habitat and learn the animal's food, lighting and heating needs."
Daron Johnson, an employee at Covet, echoes a similar sentiment.
"These days [schools] don't focus much on wildlife from other parts of the world; I don't think the education is really there," said Johnson. "[Covet] helps people become aware of these animals and how they are becoming extinct from destruction of land."
With knowledge of the reptiles and amphibians come responsibility and compassion, life skills Williams hopes to instill in every child who walks into Covet. Some kids even get hands-on experience.
"We accept volunteers regularly, giving them chores and responsibilities," said Williams. "The animals teach responsibility, compassion and real life and death. These are important life lessons that need to be taught."
Fifteen-year-old Rian Sloan picked up some of those very life lessons as a volunteer with Covet.
"I initially started to get involved with Covet by going there day after day, from opening until closing, hanging out and discussing reptiles," said Sloan. "Working at Covet and with Dee has provided me with the skills and knowledge to help others who do not know how to care for and take responsibility for reptiles."
Dee Williams' love for exotic reptiles spills over into his home as well. Panther chameleons eyeball their surroundings from cages in his living room. A pair of green tree pythons bide their time from a terrarium on the kitchen countertop.
"This is my passion at this point," said Williams. "This is about all I do."
That passion started to really catch fire after an opportunity volunteering with reptiles at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona, during Williams' freshman year of high school.
"They had everything you could imagine: spitting cobras, snapping turtles, sidewinders, every kind of rattler, Gila monsters," said Williams. "And it never left me; I stayed with the animals ever since then."
William's contagious enthusiasm for snakes and lizards has carried over to his son Justus.
"Reptiles relax me," said Justus, who, at the tender age of 9 already co-owns Covet with his father. "If I get stressed out with homework or something, I'll look at some of the reptiles in my room and it calms me down."
But Covet doesn't always wait for the kids to come to the reptiles; sometimes it brings the reptiles to the kids. By providing educational outreach in local schools, Williams hopes to turn attention away from the distractions of technology and embrace a renewed appreciation of animals.

Kids enjoy handling and learning about reptiles at Covet in midtown Ventura.
"We do a bunch of presentations in the Ventura School District and a couple different birthday parties," said Williams. "There is no better feeling than watching kids become immersed in this hobby. I've only ever seen positive growth from this. As opposed to the video game reality and television and cell phone generation, which lacks social skills, compassion and a sense of reality."
Tim Hungerford sees the growth firsthand in his son.
"For [Dee], it was about sparking the interest in my son's mind," said Hungerford, friend and longtime customer. "When you have parents who don't want to spend time with their kids, Dee is taking a lot of those kids and giving them another option."
Ultimately, Williams just hopes people are positively affected by their experience in his shop.
"We want people to leave with a feeling of fascination, of being let into a private members-only club where they were embraced and taught," said Williams. "We just want to promote a positive learning environment."

Girls Soccer
Salem 0, Minerva 0
SALEM - The Salem Lady Quakers played to a scoreless tie with Minerva Wednesday, but that doesn't deter the outlook of head coach Travis Zeigler in any way. And according to Zeigler it won't deter his Lady Quakers squad any either.
"We were so close tonight," he said. "But win, lose, or tie, it doesn't matter as we move forward. We're ready for the next game."
Zeigler's team had Minerva's backs to the wall towards the tail end of the first half and even had a shot careen off the goal post.
But in a difficult Northeastern Buckeye Conference, and with a purposely stacked schedule, Zeigler knows his team is getting better with each game.
"They're doing everything they're supposed to be doing," he said. "They're just not getting the results yet. But if we continue to do the right thing, eventually the results will come. I think this group stands as good of a chance in the postseason as any I've had. We've played a tough schedule, and the girls are coming together at the right time."
For the Lady Quakers, Makenzie Schwartz had six saves in goal, and Zeigler said both Rylee and Raegan Meals played well defensively to help keep the Lady Lions off the scoreboard.
Salem (5-5-1) will host Howland Saturday. The J.V. game begins at 1 p.m.
United 1, South Range
CANFIELD - United stayed unbeaten on the year with a 1-0 victory over South Range Wednesday. Scoring for United was Becky Althouse.

The term sweet lemons comes from the saying, "When life hands you lemons, make lemonade." It means making the best of an undeniably bad situation, even if it involves complete and utter denial, mixing lemons with cuploads of sugar until they actually taste sweet. It is essentially the equal opposite of sour grapes.

Direct Loans
Direct Loans can be need-based (subsidized) or non-need based (unsubsidized). The federal government will pay the interest on a subsidized loan while the borrower is enrolled in school at least half-time. For unsubsidized loans, interest begins to accumulate at the point of disbursement. Repayment for both types does not begin until six months after graduating, withdrawing from school or dropping below half-time.
NOTE: If you receive a Direct Subsidized Loan that is first disbursed between July 1, 2012 and July 1, 2014, you will be responsible for paying any interest that accrues during your grace period. If you choose not to pay the interest that accrues during your grace period, the interest will be added to your principal balance.
The process:
- Step 1: Log in to studentloans.gov using FAFSA log-in
- Step 2: Complete Direct Loan entrance counseling
- Step 3: Complete a Master Promissory Note
More questions?
- Loan repayment and calculation
- New eligibility information for Direct Subsidized Loans - July 1, 2013
PLUS Loans
The PLUS Loan program enables parents of undergraduate students and graduate students with a good credit history to borrow funds. Parents and graduate students may borrow up to the cost of tuition, books and fees less any other financial aid received by the student.
Private Educational Loans
While we encourage students to pursue federal student loans prior to applying for private educational loans, these loans may be helpful and beneficial to some borrowers. Visit the Private Educational Loans page for more information.
Loan Counseling
The federal government requires you to complete loan counseling to ensure that you understand the responsibilities and obligations you are assuming. Entrance counseling will walk you through the Direct Loan process and explain your rights and responsibilities as a borrower. Students graduating, withdrawing from school or falling below part-time must go through loan exit counseling.
Additional Information
Educational loans are an investment in your future, but it is important to understand your financial obligation. Please take time to read through the following information:
The U.S. Department of Education has authorized Fresno Pacific University to administer federal loan programs under Title IV funding.
