MONROE, Mich.---The Escanaba Riverside Hawks Bantam "B" hockey team won a state championship on Sunday with one tough victory, and one easy one.
The boys beat St. Ignace, 3-1, in the state semifinal game Sunday morning in downstate Monroe. And then in the championship game Sunday afternoon, Escanaba jumped to a 3-0 lead and rolled to an 8-3 win over St. Clair Shores.
It's totally awesome," Hawks Coach Pat Labre said as the team's bus started to make the long, nine-hour trip back to the U.P. "It's such an experience for myself and the other two coaches. The players had a phenominal, phenominal weekend. They skated their tails off."
"It's by far the biggest moment I've had in my hockey career," said Ethan Silverstone, who scored in both of Sunday's games and had a hat trick in pool play Saturday. "It was my goal all year, from the first moment we stepped in the locker room, to win states. We completed it."
"It was very exciting to win my first state championship," said goaltender Trevor Denome. "I never had the chance to win one before. It was pretty fun."
Story by Jack Hall
Escanaba won all five games at the tournament, including Sunday's 5-4 victory over Fraser in the championship game at Alpena's Northern Lights Arena. All five games saw the Hawks jump out to the lead, give up a couple of goals, then hang on at the end.
Escanaba won the semifinal game, 5-3, over Plymouth Sunday morning in a contest that wasn't decided until the Hawks scored an empty net goal.
And after a few hours of sitting around, the boys (and girls) went back to action against the metro-Detroit team from Fraser, which hadn't lost a game all season long. Escanaba wasn't scared.
The Fraser Metro Jets jumped out to a quick lead four minutes into the game, but Escanaba's Nick Kolich struck back, scoring two goals, with Nick Martin and Chloe Allen having the assists. Kadon Hayes and Ayden Mylander scored for Esky in the second period, and so the second period ended with the Hawks in front, 4-2 4
The Metro Jets scored twice to tie it up in the third period, but with 6:11 to go in the game, Brayden Roberts scored, with assists going to Chloe Allen and Maddie Fulsher.
But it wasn't over yet. The Hawks had to fight off three penalties in the closing minutes, including a 5-on-3 power play situation for 50 seconds.
Goaltender Bryce Buchbinder held down the fort, making 2 saves as Frase outshot Escanaba, 36-20.
Buchbinder was chosen the game's Most Valuable Player, and the Hawks celebrated.
The Escanaba kids were treated like heroes after they made the four-hour ride home in a caravan from Alpena to the Wells Sports Complex. It was about 10:30 Sunday night, but Escanaba Public Safety escorted the team around town with a fire truck and two squad cars, and then everyone had a brief celebration at the rink.
It was a tournament that will show the Escanaba kids with a perfect 5-0 record, but the games were far from easy. Escanaba finished pool play undefeated.

Book proves godsend to an atheist
By Steven Seagle and Teddy Kristiansen
First Second; 126 pages; $18 (paperback)
Near the end of this haunting graphic novel "Genius," the main character, a physicist named Ted, has an epiphany of a kind.
Ted was once a prodigy, a kid so smart he almost couldn't be taught, recruited at 22 to be part of the research team at the prestigious Pasadena Technical Institute. And then? Crickets, a decade or more of journeyman work, a realignment of his priorities.
Ted has two kids and a wife who may be dying; his father-in-law, who lives with them, treats him with a mix of disdain and outright hate. Do we need to say that he feels trapped, that the pressures of a family in disarray and a job he no longer wants have become too much for him?
Still, Ted has one saving grace, which is his love for Einstein, who holds a place in his life akin to God. "I mean, I'm an atheist," Ted explains. "Most thinking people are -- but Einstein is the pinnacle of a thinking man."
As "Genius" progresses, this relationship becomes increasingly prominent, until Einstein himself is animated in these pages, discussing the nature of the universe, the nature of discovery and the essential notion that our lives are always in constant evolution, just waiting for that one idea, that one revelation, for everything to "start anew."
That's a risky move, to invoke not just any genius but the genius of geniuses; there are so many ways for it to go wrong.
Here, however, Steven Seagle and Teddy Kristiansen keep the mystery of genius intact by making it just a little bit elliptical, by keeping the details slightly vague.
And Einstein? He's a ghost, a cipher, which is only fitting, since it is Ted who has re-dreamed him into being. "A brain is a brain after all," he says. "It's what you do with it that matters." It's a truism, to be sure, but that doesn't make it any less real.
Throughout "Genius," Seagle and Kristiansen play with this, overlapping layers of narrative in the visuals. Past and present blend together.
Ted is adrift, at loose ends, in a state of constant worry.
"I'm terrified ...," he tells his wife, "of losing my job ... losing the house ... you. I don't know who I am without all that."
And yet, as his son points out, "You always spit the doom, but then you always save the day."
This brings us back to that epiphany, which is as earned as it is unexpected.

14-year-old missing for two days after she told parents she was going
A 14-year-old girl has been missing for two days after telling her family she was going out to go to the Notting Hill Carnival.
Samantha Cameron's school for sandals
Samantha Cameron has certainly proven her fashion credentials. Over the past year, the British Fashion Council ambassador has taken to routinely frocking up in the likes of London Fashion Week favourites Roksanda Ilincic and Jonathan Saunders, and this month, she even appears in the pages of Vogue to discuss her role as Smythson's creative consultant. It comes as no surprise, then, that the first lady knows how to nail holiday attire.

They compete on stories every day, but last night top officials at the Daily News, the Inquirer and their parent company Philadelphia Media Network quickly closed ranks to express shock and outrage at child-molestation allegations against former Daily News columnist Bill Conlin.
"I am sickened by these allegations," Greg Osberg, the PMN CEO who is also the publisher of both papers, told a hastily called news conference at the Inquirer and Daily News building on North Broad Street.
He was joined by Larry Platt, editor of the Daily News, and Inquirer editor Stan Wischnowski, who defended the decision to publish the article in which Conlin is alleged to have abused four children during the 1970s.

Thus, the site serves as a unique and freely accessible archive of oral histories f
This site invites you to explore the process of piecing together the lives of ordinary people in the past. It is an experimental, interactive case study based on the research that went into the book and film A Midwife's Tale, both based upon the remarkable diary of 18th-century midwife/healer Martha Ballard. Although DoHistory is centered on the life of Martha Ballard, you can learn basic skills and techniques for interpreting fragments that survive from any period in history.
On the Road Again
The movement of people and goods is an important part of the New York State Global History and Geography Curriculum. It is listed as one of the themes that are emphasized in the core curriculum. Students are expected to understand why people migrate and what the impact of migrations has been on people, nations, and regions. Recently, the PBS WIDE ANGLE documentary series created two programs that relate to the movement of people. 'Border Jumpers' (2005) documents migration between countries in A
I'm Watching You 24/7
The post-Renaissance world saw the nation-state mature and confront the issue of how to control the lives of its citizens. Two models of political organization, democratic and authoritarian, gradually developed. During the twentieth century, as some nations granted individuals and groups more and more rights, ideology and modern technology enabled authoritarian governments to gain ever more control, until community interest dominated the individual and totalitarianism was born. Although Nazi Ger

April 7, 2009, 10:34 AM
once in the Phillipines, on a bet, after alcohol, i tried to ride one about that size. strongest bull, i had ever seen. over the front and trampled before i could tell my mugger to release him.

I would love to hear any details on the Beowulfs performance gleened from post mordem examination.
Lloyd Smale
April 7, 2009, 12:05 PM
bullet performance with the punch bullets was great. Fist one blew through both shoulders. The wife took a scope to the eye and was bleading and handed me the gun. I put anohter one into the chest head on and that one was recovered under the hide in the hind quarter so it gave complete stem to stern penetation but the buffalo was tough. It went down and got back up and started running. that was all of the punch bullets i had left and the rest were 420 lfngc cast bullets cast out of linotype. All loads were about 1600 fps. Two cast bullets went into the lungs broadside and were recovered under the hide on the far side. Noses of both showed signs of mushrooming. I would have hoped that they would have easily blew threw on that angle but that buff was tough and had hide about 3 times as thick as a bison. Those two shots put it down but it was still trying to get up and i tried to finish it with a 44 mag using 320 cast and it took three shots to the brain to finaly kill it. Toughest dieing animal i ever saw. Always thought my dream hunt was to take my 500 linebaugh to africa with cast bullets on bufflalo but after this experience i doubt if id want to trust a cast bullet on something that big and tough. If i did it my gun would be loaded with punch bullets.

Hey Lloyd...what do you do with a critter like that? Can you eat it? If so, that's a pile of meat!
April 12, 2009, 11:09 AM
Dear Mrs. Smale,
After Lloyd gave you a black eye with the telescopic sight instructions and then put you under that enormous beast held up by a mere 1/2" chain.....I encourage you to get him to pay for a Weekend at the Spa of your choice. I suggest you put all the trimmings on Lloyd's Tab including a few cocktails to reduce the swelling around the eye. He's a lucky man to have a girl like you.
Lloyd Smale
April 12, 2009, 07:05 PM
she is a pretty good sport. She likes to kill things but when the gutting starts she runs! I grilled some of the tenderloins yesterday and they were as good as bison or beef. thats not much of a testament as just about any tenderloin is good but it sure didnt have any strange flavor. Id say it was closer in taste to beef then bison.
April 15, 2009, 11:36 AM
They are a little tougher than beef.. but perfectly edible.
Not sure why you would want to shoot one...
Lloyd Smale
April 15, 2009, 11:58 AM
because the meat works out to about 2 dollars a lb.
April 15, 2009, 12:46 PM
because the meat works out to about 2 dollars a lb.
Likely healthier than commercial beef as well, with more of those healthy fatty acids, less fat, no antibiotics, etc.
And if you have a .50 Beowulf, you've got to find something useful to do with it...
A Farquharson would work, too. The savings on meat will pay for the rifle.

Mvix Nubbin MS-811N Wireless N USB Adapter
USB wireless adapters are pretty common place these days. They all pretty much look the same, they act very similar and there is very little to get excited about when you really get down to it. However, MvixUSA has decided that it was about time to shake things up. Instead of making just another N-Series adapter, they set out to make the smallest N-Series adapter they could; the Nubbin.
Now, if you are like me the first thing that came to mind was an obscure reference to the U.S. TV show, Friends. I started laughing right away thinking of ways to work in some Monica and Chandler jokes (I had to force myself to leave them out). After the humour wore off I started looking at the Nubbin as a product and it is really quite impressive.
The MvixUSA Nubbin boasts full N-spec speeds (150Mbps) with the same range as larger adapters. This all fits into a package that is roughly the same size as a U.S. Nickel. So can the Nubbin perform as advertised, or will it be the butt of our Friends jokes? - Read on to find out.

SUPERINTENDENT'S REPORT - Construction Projects
Currently the school district is updating the three elevators we have in the school district. There is one passenger elevator at the high school along with one passenger elevator and one freight elevator at the intermediate/middle school. The passenger elevators are getting new controls and communication upgrades to make them ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act) compliant. The freight elevator is getting a new hydraulic pump unit. The school district is paying for the elevator upgrades with major maintenance money. Each school district gets approximately $500,000 from the State of Wyoming and this money can only be spend on maintenance projects. All maintenance projects must be approved by the School Facilities Commission. The school district is currently seeking bids to complete phase II of our roof project at the intermediate/middle school. The school district divided this project into phases last year in order to not expense all of our major maintenance monies. We will be redoing the roof areas over the office, auditorium lobby/fly tower, and the gym. The school district is seeking bids for a building project at Boxelder Elementary. It is the State of Wyomings responsibility to build and maintain all school buildings. This project is being funding with monies from the School Facilities Commission. The school district will receive a modular that the State of Wyoming used at another school district. The used modular will be remodeled and set in the current location of Boxelder Elementary School. The old school will be removed. Bids will be opened for the roof project and Boxelder Elementary School on May 10, 2016.

Are Calvinists Hyper?
In recent years many Baptist newspapers have shown an encouraging trend. An unusual number of individual items have discussed the issue of Calvinism in Southern Baptist life. News articles, guest editorials, personal opinion articles, and letters to the editors have demonstrated great diversity in both heat and light. Sadly, there has usually been more of the former than the latter.
This is an encouraging trend from a couple of standpoints: first, that theology would receive any kind of hearing could have beneficial results. When one begins to think theologically the possibility of biblical doctrine having a positive effect on one's worship practices, preaching, personal life, and witness increases; second, when the doctrines of grace are the topic of conversation, ideas, thoughts, biblical passages which have never occurred to a person or have been repressed rush into one's consciousness and provide a platform for beneficial discussion. It may be that the process will bequeath to us visions of an infinitely wise God worthy of the worship attributed to Him in Scripture and commanded by it. In addition we might face the challenge of our age with a sense of confidence rather than sinking despair.
Some of the letters have shown that commitment to these historic evangelical, reformed, Baptist truths is intense in many individuals and extensive across the convention. It is undeniable that there is a growing theological renewal taking place among churches and church leaders.
Another matter, however, shows that a real challenge lies before us. It is clear that if a broader, more influential commitment to the doctrines of grace becomes a part of the convention picture, a purer knowledge of those marvelous truths is essential. If they ever become more than a just a newsworthy curiosity or a pesky polarity in Southern Baptist "faultiness" (to use the word of Jesse Fletcher), then much education is still needed. I say this because much of the attention given to "Calvinism" in these days shows that significant lack of awareness has created both misunderstandings and an easy path for misrepresentations. The confusion which reigns in discussing these issues could be multiplied to embarrassing dimensions. Two representations, however, will suffice to make this point. When one former seminary teacher was discussing the Abstract of Principles, he said,
Boyce and Manly received their theological training in Princeton Seminary, with Charles Hodge as mentor. Their modified Calvinism is embedded in the 1858 Abstract. A glaring example is Article V: "Election is God's eternal choice of some persons unto everlasting life." Predestination, limited atonement, and irresistible grace belong to this Calvinism.
This writer goes on the say that this is the kind of Calvinism that rebuked William Carey and with which Boyce himself must have been inconsistent since Boyce manifested a "zeal for missions."
Another writer, a former Southern Baptist seminary professor, said (contradicting the prior writer though similar in sentiment) that a Calvinistic interpretation of the Abstract is "something that the author did not intend, and something our Baptist forebears clearly renounced as an impediment to their evangelistic and missionary understanding of the gospel."
We see, therefore, in these two analyses a disagreement and an agreement. They disagree on the meaning of the Abstract, one propounding an interpretation that minimizes its Calvinism and the other portraying it as a five-point Calvinist document. They agree, however, that Calvinism is inconsistent with missions. In order for a Calvinist to pursue missions he must first renounce Calvinism or practice inconsistently with it. Digesting these two writers' opinions, salted down with several other pieces in various papers, one receives the distinct gastronomical sensation that the Calvinism du jour is simply microwaved hyper-Calvinism re-thawed and served from its eighteenth-century freezer.
There is little appreciation of the distinction between Calvinism and hyper-Calvinism in spite of some recent writings, including Timothy George's biography of William Carey A Faithful Witness, which have carefully delineated the differences. Many continue to fail, even in the most appropriate historical context, to give a clear picture of the aggressive evangelical Calvinism that characterized the leaders of the mission movement among English Baptists, American Baptists, and Southern Baptists. Their missionary involvement becomes abstracted from a theological framework and seems to be purely the outcome of guts and zeal or of love for Christ unconnected to any clear views of doctrinal truth. That hyper-Calvinism really is a different theological system from Calvinism is rarely discussed. Hyper-Calvinism is seen as very serious Calvinism or "Five-point Calvinism" or the defense of "limited atonement" or "supralapsarianism." One letter to the editor in the Baptist Record indicates the belief of its writer that "sublapsarianism" is only "one step removed from evangelical Arminianism." P. H. Mell would be quite amused, but at the same time greatly alarmed, at this misunderstanding.
Let us assume for a moment that the interpretation of our two former professors is correct: one indeed must not hold to any distinctive of Calvinism with clarity and certainly not with uncompromising conviction if he is to be effective in the encouragement of a missionary program. Let us then imagine that we are faced with the task of electing a corresponding secretary for the purpose of communicating instructions and encouragement to the missionaries on the field and mobilizing the convention to call out its likely candidates for missionary service. We receive a letter of recommendation with the following theological profile. The information is volunteered that our potential candidate believes that "election . . . is God's free, sovereign, eternal and unchangeable purpose to glorify the perfections of His character in the salvation of a definite number of the human family by Jesus Christ, without regard to any foreseen merit or good works on their part as the ground or condition of this choice." Further, our candidate states, "God's will of sovereign purpose is not suspended upon the volitions of his creatures; the universe combined could not frustrate one jot or tittle; and in accordance with this will does he carry forward all his divine and glorious operations." Incredulous at such boldness of statement in asserting the unchallenged, unilateral sovereignty of God, we ask the recommender if this candidate understands anything about the doctrine of free will. "Oh," comes the response, "He believes that the will is in bondage to the inordinate corruption of the human heart and `that such is the unrelenting depravity of sinful man, [that] he will assuredly wander on in unbelief and rebellion, unless arrested by the special exercise of efficacious, almighty grace'," (The Christian Index, Jan 20, 1843, pp. 42, 43). The recommender then goes further in riveting this point in our consciousness. He quotes this possible candidate for our foreign mission position as insisting that "God does not suspend his efficacious grace until men exercise repentance and faith: the existence of these graces in the heart proves that the work of salvation is already begun. They do not precede regeneration, but are the fruits of it," (Ibid., 1-27-1843. p. 59).
We respond with exasperation, "Well, if we are so bad and so utterly at the arbitrary disposal of God, then God help us!" Not put off at all by our mental turmoil or by the growing recognition that we are agitated and somewhat offended that such a candidate has been set forth the recommender continues to read a statement from this candidate he so clearly admires. "If the Lord saves any individual, then he intended from eternity to save him. We are driven," he says, "by the doctrine of human depravity into the doctrine of sovereign, particular, unconditional and eternal election" (Ibid., p. 44).
Even if he believes in eternal, unconditional, particular election, bondage of the will, and efficacious, irresistible grace, surely our candidate believes that Christ has died for all men without exception. "Hardly," comes the response. "For if he had our Lord would not receive the full portion of his reward for all his sufferings." Shall the Savior "quit the bosom of his Father to sojourn in this region of sin and death, here to become a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief, here to make bare his back to the smiter, and his soul to the envenomed curse of sin, a curse that called for blood and agonies and death" (Ibid., p. 58) if his reward were contingent on the uncertain obedience of his enemies? Would the Father so treat his Son? Such simply cannot be the case.
We are more nervous and offended now, but our recommender continues. "This candidate is a very clear thinker on this issue and from his engagement with a large number of Scriptures and his discernment of the cohering center of them, sees the atoning work of Christ was done in light of an eternal covenant, for a certain number of the human race." We are very confused and not able to listen well now but our recommender continues with words to the effect that all of these would certainly come to salvation and these alone would come; some persons have absolutely been given to Christ as his inheritance; the Savior regarded "a certain portion of mankind as his;" the Father promised the Son an "ample recompense for his sufferings" and "a portion of mankind are included in this inheritance;" and God has "promised to his Son a definite number of mankind" and that a definite reward for his "stupendous work of magnifying the law and making it honorable, of making reconciliation for iniquity" was arranged in the "purpose of God before the foundation of the world" (Ibid., p. 58).
We are so unaccustomed to thinking in these terms that it seems like a foreign language to us; it seems like so much jargon and flies past us at a pace which makes us embarrassed that we are having this conversation. Why, this is that Protestant scholasticism that many of our mentors have warned us against! The recommmender continues to explain his candidate's position but we have now been overloaded with theological ideas. When we think about missions we are theological minimalists anyway, and now, . . . such detail, . . . such narrow, exclusive . . . such DIABOLICAL ideas. We tune in in time to hear the phrase "A certain definite number are saved-no more, no less" (Ibid., p. 59).
At this we lose our Southern charm, interrupt the recommender, and say, "That is hyper Calvinism! You have described a position antithetical to missions and one which our forebears clearly renounced as an impediment to their evangelistic and missionary understanding of the gospel."
The recommender now smiles mysteriously; he seems amused; we can't tell if it is what we said or how we said it that charms him most. He then confesses the ruse. The person he seemed so enthusiastic about died in 1864. We are relieved. He certainly was no Southern Baptist; probably a Presbyterian. "You really had me going," we say. "That kind of person would never even be interested in foreign missions."
"On the contrary," the recommender says. "In fact, he was elected as the first corresponding secretary of the Foreign Mission Board by his peers who knew him well and knew that he held all of these theological positions. In fact, they shared these positions with him."
"But he was a hyper-Calvinist!" we object.
"Not at all." We begin to think that our recommender has an acquaintance with these issues more expansive than our own knowledge of them. "He believed, in fact he preached, `Do not for a moment suppose my friend, that the inability to which the Saviour refers, involves in it any thing which furnishes a just excuse for rejecting him'." He went on to say that this person taught that unbelief was inexcusable; moreover, the "sinner's inability, is the sinner's crime-and the greater the inability, the greater his crime." We are again becoming very confused because the recommender is saying something like all persons have the natural faculties which would enable them to walk uprightly if they desired to do so out of a love to the creator and lawgiver. Nothing hinders a compliance with the requisitions of the gospel but the sinner's rebellious will. Universal obligation to repent and believe justifies the promiscuous preaching of the gospel. Sovereign grace does not discourage efforts for the conversion of the ungodly but gives confidence and joy to the spiritual husbandman to thrust his plowshare into the soil and sow his seed. The recommender then reads this remarkable passage from a sermon.
With what immovable confidence may the missionary of the cross, in obedience to his ascended Saviour, fly to distant land, and proclaim in every valley and on every hill, "O ye dry bones hear ye the word of the Lord." Victory he knows will sooner or later come; and the assurance of victory nerves his arm and gladdens his heart amidst all the terrors of the battle field. It is not for God's ambassador to know who will repent and believe the Gospel: duty is his; the issue is with heaven. He is not to preach to men as elect or non-elect, but as needy, guilty, perishing sinners; he is to warn, rebuke and exhort them with ceaseless importunity and affection, and having sowed his seed in love, and watered it with his tears and prayers, he is to commend his prayers, his message and his hearers to that God who alone can give the increase, and who will have mercy on whom he will have mercy.
We find that we are moved by the passion and sincerity of the narrative. "Who was this?" we ask. "It was Charles Dutton Mallary," comes the answer. "He served as pastor of the church in Augusta for four years in the 1830's and then at Milledgeville before he raised money for Mercer for three years. When he was elected to the Foreign mission position, the brethren earnestly solicited his compliance and even offered him a salary of $1,200 per year. He eventually refused to take the position because of frail health and his desire to devote himself to evangelistic and pastoral labors in Georgia."
Now we think we understand. Mallary was evangelistic; therefore, he obviously didn't preach these doctrines. Suddenly, however, we realize that there is more to this issue than we have before considered and that the recommender is ready with more instruction. He points to a biographical sketch which describes Mallary's preaching this way: "He loved to preach Christ crucified as the only foundation of a sinner's hope, and to exhibit a sovereign God, working all things after the counsel of his own will. These high themes he discussed with a clear head and a warm heart, and rendered them eminently practical by the manner in which he pressed them on the consciences of his hearers." Further we learned that Mallary was aware of the abuses some committed against the doctrine of grace by tearing it "from its proper connections," mixing it with "much of their own imaginings," and holding it up to a distorted light. He believed this antinomian spell had been broken but saw another possible evil. "Happy indeed shall we be, if in disengaging ourselves from this dangerous extreme, we do not hurry on to its opposite, fritter down the doctrines of grace, and give countenance, by our faith and teaching, to self-righteous presumption." The last statement we heard before becoming lost in deep contemplation was "If I do not mistake, there is a tendency in some portion of our brethren to this very evil."
With all of that we had to bring our conversation to a close. Walking away we felt that we had much more to do than just to develop a method for the procurement of personnel. We began to think that we could use more instruction in history and theology; and we could even take a closer look at the gospel with a clearer understanding of the purity and power of its grace.

Hate Crime Victim Testifies Before House Judiciary Committee
Posted: April 19, 2007
On April 17, 2007, hate crime victim David Ritcheson testified before the U.S. House Judiciary Committee Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism and Homeland Security in support of the Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act.
The 18-year-old Ritcheson sat shoulder-to-shoulder at the witness table with a law school dean, representatives of non-governmental agencies, and the Attorney General of Utah. He was brought in to testify by the ADL's Government and National Affairs Office, based in Washington, D.C., and ADL's Houston Regional Office.
Ritcheson, of Spring, Texas, was beaten nearly to death by self-professed Skinheads, who cut him, burned him, poured bleach over him, sodomized him with an outdoor umbrella pole and yelled anti-Hispanic slurs. Ritcheson told committee members about the after-effects of his ordeal. He urged House members to pass the bill, which would enhance federal authority and aid for hate crime investigation and prosecution.
Houston Congresswoman Sheila Jackson Lee called Ritcheson "the real hero in the room." The full text of David's statement follows.
Statement of Mr. David Ritcheson
Hearing on H.R. 1592, the "Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes
Prevention Act of 2007"
House Judiciary Committee
Subcommittee on Crime, Terrorism, and Homeland Security
Tuesday, April 17
I appear before you as a survivor of one of the most despicable, shocking, and heinous acts of hate violence this country has seen in decades. Nearly one year ago on April 22, 2006, I was viciously attacked by two individuals because of my heritage as a Mexican-American. After hanging out with a few friends at a local crawfish festival, my friend and I, along with the two individuals who would eventually attack me, returned to the home in Spring, Texas where I was to spend the night. It was shortly after arriving at this private residence that a minor disagreement between me and the attackers turned into the pretext for what I believe was a premeditated hate crime. This was a moment that would change my life forever. After I was surprisingly sucker punched and knocked out, I was dragged into the back yard for an attack that would last for over an hour. Two individuals, one an admitted racist skinhead, attempted to carve a swastika on my chest. Today I still bear that scar on my chest like a scarlet letter. After they stripped me naked, I was burned with cigarettes and savagely kicked by this skinhead's steel toed army boots. After burning me in the center of the forehead, the skinhead attacker was heard saying that now I looked like an Indian with the red dot on my forehead. Moreover, the witnesses to the attack recalled the two attackers calling me a "wetback" and a 'spic" as they continued to beat me as I lay unconscious. Once the attack came to an end, I was dragged to the rear of the back yard and left for dead. Reportedly, I lay unconscious in the back yard of this private residence for the next 8-9 hours. It was not until the next morning that I was found and the paramedics came to my aid. I am recounting this tragic event from the testimony I heard during the trial of the two attackers this past fall. God spared me the memory of what happened that night. As I sit before you today, I still have no recollection of those life changing twelve hours or the weeks that followed.
Weeks later I recall waking up in the hospital with a myriad of emotions, including fear and uncertainty. Most of all, I felt inexplicable humiliation. Not only did I have to face my peers and my family, I had to face the fact that I had been targeted for violence in a brutal crime because of my ethnicity. This crime took place in middle-class America in the year 2006. The reality that hate is alive, strong, and thriving in the cities, towns, and cul-de-sacs of Suburbia, America was a surprise to me. America is the country I love and call home. However, the hate crime committed against me illustrates that we are still, in some aspects, a house divided. I know now that there are young people in this country who are suffering and confused, thirsting for guidance and in need of a moral compass. These are some of the many reasons I am here before you today asking that our government take the lead in deterring individuals like those who attacked me from committing unthinkable and violent crimes against others because of where they are from, the color of their skin, the God they worship, the person they love, or the way they look, talk or act.
I believe that education can have an important impact by teaching against hate and bigotry. In fact, I have encouraged my school and others to adopt the Anti-Defamation League's No Place for Hate® program. If these crimes cannot be prevented, the federal government must have the authority to support state and local bias crime prosecutions.
As the weeks in the hospital turned into months, I began hearing the stories of support that came from literally all over the world. The local community pulled together in a really majestic way, reaffirming my hope in the good of humanity. My family told me about the crowded waiting rooms full of the great friends from past and present. I heard about prayer groups before school in front of my school, the Klein Collins Campus. The donations that helped my family and me get through an unthinkable time poured in from generous people scattered across the globe. These donations would help pay for the enormous hospital bills from the over thirty surgeries I underwent during the first three months after the attack. Most of these operations were essential to saving my life -- and others were necessary just to make my body able to perform what would be normal functions.
As the recovery process continued, my family began to slowly inform me of what had happened to me. They went on to tell me of the effective response by the Harris County Sheriff's Department and the Harris County Constables who had investigated the hate crime committed against me. I slowly began learning the about the background of the two individuals who had been arrested for attacking me. I was informed that one of the attackers, David Tuck, was a self proclaimed racist skinhead who had viciously attacked at least two other Hispanics in the past few years, almost killing one of them. I learned that he had been in and out of several juvenile facilities. Most surprising, I learned that he had been released from the Texas Youth Commission a little over a month before he attacked me. In fact, he was still on probation the night he nearly ended my life. I was told that he had "white power" and swastikas tattoos on his body. I was informed that his older step brother, a major influence in his life, was also a self-proclaimed skinhead currently serving time in a Texas jail. Here I was, learning shocking details of a person who lived only miles from me and who had at one time attended the same high school that I attended. How could this type of hate be breeding just miles from my home in a city as diverse as Spring without anyone taking notice?
I quickly learned of and benefited from the support of groups such as the Anti-Defamation League (ADL) and League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC). Both groups immediately provided whatever support they could to help me and my family. From setting up fundraisers to help my family with unanticipated expenses to providing emotional support confirming that I was not going through this alone, both groups were instrumental in assisting me and my family in the process of moving forward. There are so many people to thank for the support they have given me, including the ongoing encouragement to appear before you today.
Last November and December I sat in a courtroom in Harris County, Texas and faced my attackers for the first time as they went through their respective trials. I am glad to say that justice was done. I am proud of the job our county prosecutors and investigators did in ensuring life sentences for the two individuals who attacked me. Specifically, I want to recognize the great job that Assistant District Attorney Mike Trent did during the prosecution of these two individuals. However, despite the obvious bias motivation of the crime, it is very frustrating to me that neither the state of Texas nor the federal government was able to utilize hate crime laws on the books today in the prosecution of my attackers. I am upset that neither the Justice Department nor the FBI was able to assist or get involved in the investigation of my case because "the crime did not fit the existing hate crime laws." Today I urge you to take the lead in this time of needed change and approve the "Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007". I was fortunate to live in a town where local law enforcement authorities had the resources, the ability -- and the will – to effectively investigate and prosecute the hate violence directed against me. But other bias crime victims may not live in such places. I ask you to provide authority for local law enforcement to work together with federal agencies when someone is senselessly attacked because of where they are from or because of who they are. Local prosecutors should be able to look to the federal government for support when these types of crimes are committed. Most importantly, these crimes should be called what they are and prosecuted for what they are, "hate crimes"!
In fact, because there was so much attention focused on the fact that my case was not being prosecuted in Texas as a hate crime, the Anti-Defamation League and the Cook County (Illinois) Hate Crimes Prosecution Council published a Pamphlet called
"Hate Crimes Data Collection and Prosecutions:Frequently Asked Questions,"
designed to address some of the basic legal and practical considerations involved in labeling and charging a hate crime.
My experience over the last year has reminded me of the many blessings I took for granted for so long. With my humiliation and emotional and physical scars came the ambition and strong sense of determination that brought out the natural fighter in me. I realized just how important family and the support of community truly are. I will always recall my parents at my bedside providing me with strength and reassurance. They showed me how to be strong during my whole recovery, a process I am still going through today. Seeing the hopeful look of concern in the faces of my siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles everyday was the direct support I needed to get through those terrible first few months. As each day passed, I became more and more aware of everything I had to live for. I am glad to tell you today that my best days still lay ahead of me.
Thank you for the opportunity to tell my story. It has been a blessing to know that the most terrible day of my life may help put another human face on the campaign to enact a much needed law such as the "Local Law Enforcement Hate Crimes Prevention Act of 2007." I can assure you, from this day forward I will do what ever I can to help make our great country, the United States of America, a hate free place to live.

Excerpted from an article on Casey Research:
Our guest contributor today needs no introduction, but I'll give him one anyway. John Williams, founder of Shadow Government Statistics (often referred to as "ShadowStats"), has been debunking federal government statistics for years. John adjusts government economic data to be more honest and realistic, and publishes the results on his website. Among other statistics, John has developed his own inflation, unemployment, and GDP measurements that aim to more accurately describe reality than the government's own numbers.
In some cases, the government has made his job easy—John simply uses the government's own calculations from many years ago, before they were massaged, revised, and "improved" to the point that they're hardly recognizable. For others, he strips out distortions and adjusts the statistics to more truthfully describe the real world. For instance, I'd bet that your grocery bill would agree that ShadowStats' inflation rate of 9% is much closer to reality than the government's own calculation of 1.4%.
To whet your appetite, I grabbed two more of the more stunning stats from John's piece below:
The government reports its 2012 deficit as $1.1 trillion. If you calculate the deficit using generally accepted accounting principles, as publicly traded companies in the US are required to, the deficit would be $6.6 trillion.
So far in 2013, the Federal Reserve purchased 90.5% of the US government's net issuance of debt.
There's more and some links, too. If you want to better understand the fraud that is Bizarro World.

Heather Morris
Jump to
With a barrage of hilarious one-liners and spaced-out stares, Heather Morris catapulted from supporting player to a featured star on Fox's "Glee" (2009-15), a musical comedy series about a group of rag-tag high school glee club members. The critically acclaimed show made household names out of co-stars such as Lea Michele and Matthew Morrison, but Morris' ditzy-yet-loveable cheerleader Brittany turned her into a "Glee" fan favorite. With an extensive dance background that included touring with pop superstar Beyoncé and her scene-stealing performances on the series and during the "Glee Live!" concert, Morris proved she was a triple threat -singing, acting, and dancing her way into a successful entertainment career.

Optical Tube Assemblies
Optical tube assemblies, commonly abbreviated by astronomers as OTAs are simply the tube of the telescope where the optics are internally located. OTAs can be helpful in a situation in which an observer has a compatible mount and doesn't want to buy a whole new telescope with a mount included. Optical Tube Assemblies can come in the form of Maksutov-Cassegrain, Astrographs, Reflectors, Refractors, Schmidt-Cassegrains and many others! With the right mounting connections and range of mount and tripod payload, OTAs are a great choice for changing optical type without changing the mount.
