Shields Enjoys Support from Laila Ali and Andre Ward for Sullivan award
Historic Olympic gold medalist Claressa Shields has had some major names in boxing backing her bid for the 83rd annual James E. Sullivan award. Shields was named a semifinalist by the AAU and public voting for the award continues through Sunday, March 18 via this link.
Women's boxing legend and daughter of the great Muhammad Ali, Laila Ali, threw her support behind her fellow boxer on Wednesday on twitter, encouraging her followers to vote for Shields.
Fellow Olympic gold medalist and Sullivan award semifinalist Andre Ward threw his twitter muscle behind Shields as well. Tweeting that he'd voted for Shields and they should too from his official account last week, Ward got the chance to say hello to her at a recent fight in New York.
Several media outlets, including major boxing websites and Shields' hometown press have assisted in getting the world out for people to vote since her announcement as a semifinalist last week. Her USA Boxing family has taken part in the campaign as well with several of her Olympic teammates taking to their social media outlets to get the word out. Recently, the athletes in Colorado Springs for training camp posed with their own Vote for Claressa sign to help encourage others to vote for the Olympic champion.
Don't forget to vote for Claressa and encourage your family and friends to so as well at http:// http://sullivan.rightbrainmedia.com/.

Chile-Crusted Scallops with Cucumber SaladA refreshing salad of cucumbers and roasted cashews makes a nice contrast to these smoky scallops. You can make the salad and scallop skewers up to eight hours ahead; cover separately and store in the refrigerator until you're ready to grill. Request "dry" sea scallops, which haven't been treated with sodium tripolyphosphate (STP). They're more flavorful and will brown properly. Serves: 4Preparation time: 40 minutes IngredientsFor the salad: 2 medium cucumbers 1/2 cup salted roasted cashews, coarsely chopped (2 ounces) 2 scallions (white and light green parts), thinly sliced 2 teaspoons lemon juice 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1/4 cup coarsely chopped flat-leaf parsley 1/8 teaspoon salt For the scallops: 1 teaspoon cumin seeds 2 tablespoons minced seeded serrano chile 1 teaspoon freshly cracked black pepper 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt 1 to 1-1/4 pounds dry sea scallops, tough muscle removed PreparationTo prepare salad: 1. Peel and seed cucumbers; quarter lengthwise and slice 1/4 inch thick. Combine the cucumbers, cashews, scallions, lemon juice, oil, parsley and salt in a large bowl. To prepare scallops: 1. Toast cumin seeds in a small skillet over medium heat until fragrant, about 1 minute. Transfer to a cutting board and let cool, then coarsely chop. Combine the cumin seeds, chile, pepper and salt in a small bowl. Rinse scallops, pat dry and rub with the spice mixture. Thread the scallops onto four 12-inch skewers. 2. Preheat grill to medium-high. Oil the grill rack. Grill the scallops until cooked through, about 4 minutes per side. Carefully remove the scallops from the skewers. Serve warm with the cucumber salad.Enjoy!

Thai Beef SaladThe steak for a Thai salad is often marinated before it's broiled and that's a shame, because most of those flavorings burn off. For the best taste, first sear the steak, then let it sit overnight in the marinade before tossing it with the greens.Serves: 4Preparation time: 45 minutes (plus overnight marinating)Ingredients1 pound sirloin steak, trimmed of visible fat 1 tablespoon reduced-sodium soy sauce 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground pepper 2 scallions, cut into 1-inch pieces Zest of 1 lime 3 tablespoons lime juice 1-1/2 tablespoons fish sauce 1/2 teaspoon sugar 1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper 4 cups torn frisée or curly endive 2 cups torn red leaf lettuce 2 tablespoons chopped fresh mint 2 tablespoons untoasted sesame oil or canola oil Preparation 1. Position rack in upper third of oven; preheat broiler. Rub steak all over with soy sauce and black pepper. Place on a baking sheet; broil, turning once, 14-16 minutes for medium-rare to medium, respectively. Let rest on a cutting board for 5 minutes. 2. Meanwhile, mix scallions, lime zest and juice, fish sauce, sugar and crushed red pepper in a shallow dish. Slice the steak into thin strips against the grain and cut each strip into bite-size pieces. Add the steak to the marinade, along with any accumulated juices; toss well, cover, and refrigerate overnight. 3. Place frisée (or endive), lettuce and mint in a salad bowl. Add the steak and marinade, drizzle with oil, gently toss, and serve.Enjoy!

Grilled Smoky Eggplant SaladThis Spanish-themed salad showcases the sweet smokiness of grilled eggplant. Like most grilled vegetables, eggplant can be served at room temperature or warm. You can find several varieties of eggplant – they come in myriad sizes and colors. To experience the full flavor of this salad, use Spanish ingredients: mild-flavored, smooth sheep-milk Manchego cheese and smoky paprika. If you can't find them, substitute Parmigiano-Reggiano and Hungarian paprika.Serves: 6Preparation time: 45 minutes Ingredients2 small eggplants (about 1 pound total) 3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, divided Olive oil cooking spray 1/4 cup extra-virgin olive oil 1 tablespoon sherry vinegar 1 small plum tomato, diced 1 small clove garlic, chopped 1-1/2 teaspoons smoked paprika 3 cups mixed baby salad greens 2 ounces Manchego cheese, cut into thin curls with a vegetable peeler
Preparation 1. Preheat grill to medium. 2. Cut stripes in each eggplant's peel by running a vegetable peeler down the length of it and repeating at about 1-inch intervals. Slice the eggplants into rounds 1/3-1/2 inch thick. Lay them on a baking sheet and sprinkle lightly with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Let stand for about 5 minutes. 3. Blot the eggplant slices with paper towels and lightly coat both sides with olive oil spray. Grill the eggplant, flipping halfway through, until soft and caramelized on both sides, 9-11 minutes total. 4. Purée oil, vinegar, tomato, garlic, paprika and the remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt in a blender until well combined. 5. Toss salad greens with half the vinaigrette in a medium bowl. Arrange the eggplant slices on 6 salad plates. Drizzle with the remaining vinaigrette. Place the salad greens over and between the eggplant slices, then scatter the cheese curls on top of each salad. Serve warm or at room temperature.Enjoy!Nutrition FactsPer serving: 141 calories12 g fat (3 g sat, 7 g mono)7 mg cholesterol6 g carbohydrate3 g protein3 g fiber280 mg sodium287 mg potassiumNutrition Bonus: vitamin A (25% Daily Value), vitamin C (15% DV)

We threw God out
Read this and wept, especially for our children.
America did not become a great nation by encouraging people to feel sorry for themselves and seek handouts from others, others being us, the taxpayers.
And folks, we are running out of tax-payers, who pays them?
We have, as I write, severe government abuses, we must however find a way to control excessive and inappropriate government intrusion into the lives of innocent, law-abiding citizens who currently have little or no defense against bullying from government that is supposed to protect us.
The IRS (Eternal Revenue Service) is just one example of bad government out of control. U.S. Congress is not far behind, lying, stealing, wasting, name of the game.
We have, as I write, have incompetence and lack of ethical behavior growing like a bad weed in America. This clearly exists in our society and when it goes unchecked, the morale of others is damaged and the result is inefficiency and is real danger to others.
Remember we threw God out. And guess who comes in.
More and more bureaucracy and agencies are being added to our government.
They say it is in order to stop and control corruption.
Obama, is great at this. But what about corruption and abuses within the government, how do we control that? The question is who controls those who controls us? Guys like Obama, and all his socialist Democrats, "the don't work people."
Is the county going crazy, or is it just me?

CrockPot 3-Packet Pot Roast Recipe
Day 239.
I was going through the archives the other day and started laughing when I realized I haven't made a pot roast yet this year. I usually make pot roast in the crockpot 4-5 times a year----but 2008 has sort of taken on a life of it's own.
Usually I make pot roast the same way, each and every time: 1 envelope of onion soup mix, and a cup of whatever wine I have open, or some broth.
Back in February, I bookmarked a recipe that I was given by Terri W. for a 3-packet pot roast, and then promptly forgot about it.
I finally made it yesterday. It was simple and easy, and makes awesome gravy. If you wait until the envelope packets are on sale, and stick with chuck roast, this is a very inexpensive meal that can be stretched for a few days.
The Ingredients.
-packet of ranch salad dressing and seasoning mix
--packet of Italian salad dressing mix
[WARNING: The packet pictured of Italian Salad Dressing mix is NO LONGER Gluten Free. PLEASE read all labels carefully!! Thank you to Nancy for letting me know!]
--McCormick Grill Mates Peppercorn & Garlic (the original recipe called for a packet of beef gravy or au jus, but all of the gravies and jus packets contain wheat starch. Please read labels carefully a few times if you are avoiding gluten.)
--3 lb chuck roast
--1 to 3 cups of water
The Directions.
I used my 6 quart Smart Set crockpot for this dinner.
I opted to not throw any vegetables into the crock because we had leftovers I needed to use. Feel free to throw in some chopped potatoes, an onion, carrots, and celery.
Trim the roast of any visible fat and place it into the crockpot. In a small bowl, combine the contents of the 3 packets. Pour on top of the meat. Flip the meat over a few times to get it covered with seasoning on all sides.
Add 1 cup of water.
Cook on low for 8 hours, or on high for 4-5. The meat will be more tender if you cook it low and slow.
20-30 minutes before eating, add 2 more cups of warm water to the crockpot, and flip to high.
The meat only needs 1 cup of water on it to cook properly, but the spices are too concentrated to only have 1 cup of water in the pot when it's time to eat. Waiting to add the water until the end will help the meat retain it's shape, and the added water will make a nice juicy gravy.
The Verdict.
We ate this with some leftover curried rice and vegetables while we watched Michelle Obama speak. This was a great dinner.
The kids dipped their meat in barbecue sauce and Adam and I ladled broth over the top of ours.
I will make this again.

Learn specialist skills for teaching babies and toddlers
30 September 2011
Being there to share the very start of a child's swimming journey and teaching babies and toddlers to swim must truly be one of the most rewarding experiences a swimming teacher can have.
If you are a Level 2 trained swimming teacher and would like to extend your skills to teach adult and child aquatic sessions, there are a new range of continuing professional development (CPD) sessions now launched by the Institute of Swimming (IoS).
The programme of seminars consists of 3 knowledge based CPD modules covering the core topics needed to deliver safe and effective adult and child aquatic sessions. Delivered over 2 days, there is a mix of both classroom based work and practical classes. The main topics covered include:
- understanding child development
- planning and preparation foradult and child aquatic sessions
- developing the skills for adult and child aquatic sessions
Jenny Norvill, IoS Delivery Manager said, "This is a popular subject area which we know swimming teachers are keen to learn more about. The mix of theory and practical sessions makes for an exciting programme which will equip learners with the specialist skills and knowledge for working with babies and toddlers within an aquatics environment."
Aimed at industry professionals who have previously achieved a level 2 in teaching aquatics, the programme provides teachers with the necessary specialist underpinning knowledge in working with babies and toddlers. In the longer term, this could be tied into the assessment of future ASA qualifications that are currently in development which will allow swimming teachers to show their specialist knowledge in various aspects of their work.
The programme cost is £150 which includes a copy of the recommended reading "Make a splash", and a CD to include all the course resources.
For full details of course dates and availability visit www.theiosonline.com, click on 'all training' and search under 'development seminars'

Surprise endowment to help five agencies
Barney Kanthack lived in Alpena for 84 years. Some people knew him through his business, Barney's Septic Cleaning, but chances are few people really knew him well.
Kanthack never married, never had children. He worked hard but he also enjoyed dancing any chance he got.
He didn't drive a fancy car. He didn't dress in the newest styles. He was happy with his old car, a Geo Metro, and a flannel shirt and jeans were his usual attire.
Kanthack didn't have a lot of close friends, but he certainly cared about the community where he spent his whole life. He was not the type of person who would have been identified as a wealthy man or a philanthropist, but the facts prove differently.
After Kanthack died on Dec. 20, 2012, the Community Foundation for Northeast Michigan (CFNEM) was notified that he had named them as the beneficiary of his estate after other bequests and expenses were paid. While many might not think that's newsworthy, it is.
CFNEM received $704,765 from Kanthack's estate to create the Bernard Kanthack Endowment Fund.
The instructions he left were that the fund should be a permanent endowment and he wanted the money that would be available to spend each year to be evenly divided between five area agencies.
Those agencies include: Boys & Girls Club of Alpena; Huron Humane Society; St. Bernard Friendship Room; Alcona Health Centers, to assist their patients who are residents of Alpena with financial need and to help support their Wildcat Clinic; and Hospice of Michigan for their Alpena County Grief Committee.
Each of these five agencies will receive approximately $7,000 in October 2013 and a similar check every year thereafter forever. As the fund grows over time, through investment income or additional gifts from other donors, the amount of the distributions will continue to grow as well.
Kanthack chose Huron Humane Society as a beneficiary because, as he spent his last years at Turning Brook Retirement Village in Alpena, Huron Humane Society brought animals in to visit with the residents. He and the other residents looked forward to spending time with the animals.
He also ate many of his meals at St. Bernard Friendship Room because it felt like home to him. He wanted to support the youth of Alpena through the Boys & Girls Club and many families would benefit from a gift to Alcona Health Centers.
Finally, he had personal experience with the help that Hospice of Michigan could provide to individuals and families.
Kanthack is an example of a person who loved his community and chose to give back to it. Not everyone will leave an estate the size his, but everyone can make a choice to give something back to their community.

I've been playing drop in, wanted to play me old CAM role, but as you all know, everyone rushes to the mid and St spots, so i can only play as a defender on thereI also must point out that even as of December 2nd, i'm still having problems accessing Pro Clubs. Ultimate Team works fine, Manager Mode works fine, it's just Pro Clubs. And there's no point trying to fight through the constant error messages and disconnections if only 1 other person is active as what seems to have been suggested.

Too young for college footballPosted Friday, July 27, 2012, at 12:13 PM
ESPN is reporting that an eighth-grader has been offered a scholarship at LSU.
Okay, I can see coaches keeping an eye on the progress of potential college superstars.
But asking a 13-or-14-year-old to commit to a college at such a young age goes way too far. That needs to wait until the proper time - say, senior year or so.
The out-of-control situation at Penn State - where those aware of sexual abuse wouldn't report it for fear of damaging the football program - is just the worst example of sports institutions grown too powerful.
An argument could be made for the NBA, which signs athletes right out of high school, and Kentucky basketball, where the coach flatly admits he's all about running more or less an NBA academy.
I'm all for making the right moves at the right time. But it should be about what's best for the athlete, not the athletic program.
Showing most recent comments first
[Show in chronological order instead]
Just a thought on young athletes that may be off the subject matter a little bit. Recently I have become very concerned about the number of head injuries in football. I would like to see us get back to the basics of wrap them us, pick them up, and put them down in tackling instead of going for head shots. A concussion or "ring their bell" can be more long lasting than many of us have thought in the past.

Has this 8th grader been held back six years?
What kind of binding offer could be made to a 13 year old and what parents in their right mind would commit their child with so many formative years ahead of them.
And what school program in its right mind would do that either?
I think ESPN is getting a jump up on April 1st or happy hour.

Raytheon to Provide D-RAPCON Systems for U.S. Air Force
The U.S. Air Force issued a $50.6 million contract to Raytheon to provide 19 deployable air traffic control (D-RAPCON) surveillance systems.
(Raytheon's D-RAPCON. Photo, courtesy of Raytheon.)
Raytheon will be supplying the Air Force with its D-RAPCON system, which it refers to as an "air traffic control system in a box." D-RAPCON is transportable, providing the ability to support enroute surveillance and control capability for use by military aircraft in remote areas.
The Department of Defense reports that the D-RAPCON systems are scheduled to be delivered by December 2016.

>Runner's World - My Event Ratings>
In short: Good race - too hotIn full: The only minor criticism I would have is that it took so long t o collect race numbers and as such the start was delayed by 7 minutes. Not a major issue in my opinion. Easily sorted in my opinion -charge a pound more and post them out. Water stations were busy but I was expecting this as it was the hottest day of the year.Good run, certainly not flat despite what I had heard people say. Potential PB if the weather is kinder!Date of review: July 8, 2013
In short: Great Run!In full: I probably like this so much as I got my first ever sub 2 hour but I genuinely think it is a great race. My only criticism would be the start was a bit manic. Very narrow and lots of different paces mixed together. Thought it would be much duller but didn't find it boring at all. Will be back next year.Date of review: April 8, 2013
In short: 1.5km Short!!In full: This run has potential. However how many will give it a second chance after running 1.5km short i'm not short.No PA at the start meant we didn't even hear the gun/hooter.Where was the 'Sports Village' in City Park. Fortunately I only paid £8.50 and live pretty local otherwise I certainly wouldn't be happy.Also why can't the chips be posted with the numbers? Needs to up the anti if this is going to survive.Barriers up through the Uni would have been nice too, fortunatley not a massive issue with this amount of runners though.Date of review: December 3, 2012
In short: Quick but busyIn full: This is the second time i have done this event and do enjoy it. It's not as flat as you may think but definate promise for neagtive splits. Road was slippy at points due to road works but not much the organisers can do about that. No room for any more capacity in my opinion. Start and finish areas are very busy. Much better value than Jane Tomlinson Leeds 10k though.Scarborough 10k followed by this is a great way to finish my year. Will be back next yearDate of review: November 30, 2011
In short: 3 Mins off the PB and my first sub 1 hour, how can i not like it. In full: The sun always seems to come out for this race.Seemed much slicker now the Spa is fully open, just a bit busy at the end trying to get a drink and t shirts but better than last year. Will definately be there next year.Date of review: October 31, 2011
In short: Good flat run - post run chaosIn full: The run itself was very good and pretty much as flat as you can be. It was just the waiting around at the end for the t shirt etc that seemed to atke ages and I was pretty cold by the time I had picked mine up. I too would prefer a bottle at 4km i simply cannot run and drink out of a cup.Definate PB potential although I didn't get mine, that will teach me to train more.Back next year hopefully.Overall a great weekend in Sunny Scarborough.Thanks to the organisers for helping me out - I left my chip and number at home but they had spares ready. ThanksDate of review: November 2, 2010
In short: very good although mass warm up was waste of timeDate of review: August 2, 2010
In short: Well organised - lots of marshalls offering good support for us slower runnersDate of review: March 31, 2010

Prison Reform
Statements By Members
2:05 p.m.
Warren Allmand Notre-Dame-De-Grâce, QC
Mr. Speaker, in recent weeks Canada lost two great champions of prison reform and criminal rehabilitation. Senator Earl Hastings of Alberta, who died last Sunday, was a great Liberal and social reformer. Until the end, he kept in close touch with the prisons and the many prisoners whom he was helping to get a new start on life. He received many awards for his outstanding work in corrections and criminal justice.
Claire Culhane was also a strong activist for a humane corrections system. She campaigned and wrote against the abuses of the prison system for many years. We should understand that effective rehabilitation means less crime and safer streets.
Senator Hastings and Claire Culhane should serve as examples for all of us.
Westray Mine Disaster

Roseanne Skoke Central Nova, NS
Mr. Speaker, in recognition of the grieving families and in commemoration of the 26 deceased miners who were killed in my riding of Central Nova in the Westray coal mine disaster on May 9, 1992, we will remember them:
John Thomas Bates, Larry Arthur Bell, Bennie Joseph Benoit, Wayne Michael Conway, Ferris Todd Dewan, Adonis J. Dollimont, Robert Steven Doyle, Remi Joseph Drolet, Roy Edward Feltmate, Charles Robert Fraser, Myles Gillis, John Philip Halloran, Randolph Brian House, Trevor Jahn, Laurence Elwyn James, Eugene W. Johnson, Stephen Paul Lilley, Michael Frederick MacKay, Angus Joseph MacNeil, Glenn David Martin, Harry A. McCallum, Eric Earl McIssac, George James Munroe, Danny James Poplar, Romeo Andrew Short and Peter Francis Vickers.
We will remember them.
Parti Quebecois
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Eleni Bakopanos Saint-Denis, QC
Mr. Speaker, the separatists are at it again. They complained about the voting conditions for non-residents of Quebec. They complained that the referendum was lost due to money and the ethnic vote. They complained that too many people obtained their citizenship in the months leading to the referendum. Now they are complaining again about the fact that the director general of elections produced pamphlets in languages other than French.
Mr. Landry and the PQ MNA for Vachon, Mr. Payne, took turns criticizing the Director General of Elections for having voting instructions in 19 different languages distributed in ridings where large numbers of Canadians of other ethnic background live.
The separatists' obsession with anyone who does not have "pure laine", or old stock, stamped on their certificate of citizenship has invariably led them to commit enormities and, if yesterday is any indication, it is not about to change.
War Crimes
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Monique Guay Laurentides, QC
Mr. Speaker, the first trial for war crimes committed in the former Yugoslavia opened in The Hague yesterday, when a Bosnian Serb accused of murder and torture by the International Criminal Court appeared before the court.
This is the first time since the end of the second world war that an international court has brought charges against alleged perpetrators of crimes against humanity and genocide.
While more than 50 war criminals have been charged, only 10 or so are currently in custody. The others, including the political and military leaders of the Bosnian Serbs, Radovan Karadzic and General Ratko Mladic, are still at large.
Canada must demand that all those charged be handed over before the mandate of the multinational force expires in December. The credibility of the international court hangs in the balance.
Westray Mine Disaster
Statements By Members
2:10 p.m.
Diane Ablonczy Calgary North, AB
Mr. Speaker, four years ago today 26 miners died at the Westray mine in Nova Scotia when coal dust ignited with methane gas to produce an underground explosion.
With all the headline coverage about the ongoing inquiry and with all the difficulties in getting at the truth, there are often times when the actual tragedy and loss of life seem to have been forgotten. If anything positive is to come out of this terrible event, it should be an acknowledgement that we can never overlook the importance of safety in the workplace.
To this end it is an absolute necessity that government regulations responsible for ensuring safety must never be relaxed and the safety inspectors that are looked to for protection must be completely free from political interference if they are to be effective. If we can achieve this we can take solace in the hope that this tragedy will never be repeated.
Today Canadians remember and honour the 26 miners who lost their lives four years ago this morning. We extend our sympathy and support to their families and friends.
Human Rights
Statements By Members
May 9th, 1996 / 2:10 p.m.
Reg Alcock Winnipeg South, MB
Mr. Speaker, on Tuesday in this Chamber the member for Lisgar-Marquette said: "If we want to look at what homosexuality and permissiveness have done to some countries let us look at Africa and the problems it has run into". He went on to relate the civil war in Liberia to homosexuality and permissiveness.
What basis does he have for these statements? What proof is there that the troubles in Liberia are related to homosexuality?
The situation in Liberia is tragic. Many innocent people are losing their lives. Families are being literally destroyed. Children are being killed. It is an issue that all Canadians deplore and I am sure members opposite do also. To relate it to a permissive attitude
toward homosexuality is an insult to the suffering of the people of Liberia and it is an insult to the intelligence of Canadians.
The people of Lisgar-Marquette deserve better from that party-

Shaughnessy Cohen Windsor—St. Clair, ON
Mr. Speaker, the member for Macleod the other day claimed that Bill C-33 will encourage a lifestyle that spreads disease, notably HIV-AIDS. The leader of the Reform Party has dismissed these remarks and supported them by saying that they are the opinions of a medical professional.
As a member of Parliament the member for Macleod has the responsibility to ensure public policy is based on fact, not on misinformation or fear. As a medical doctor he has the responsibility to speak to the research.
The research tells us that this disease affects men, women and children. The research says it is a preventable disease and that its sources are known. The research has taught us that responsible behaviour will help to control HIV-AIDS. The member for Esquimalt-Juan de Fuca, who is also a medical doctor, seems to understand this.
Misinformation from the member for Macleod will have more of an impact on the transmission of HIV than any of his imagined impacts of Bill C-33.
HIV-AIDS is a serious public health issue. Canadians are entitled to responsible, constructive comments from their MPs in the fight against the spread of AIDS. Canadians deserve better-
Unemployment Insurance Reform
Statements By Members
2:15 p.m.
Yvan Bernier Gaspé, QC
Mr. Speaker, I would like to urge the Prime Minister to meet with the 100 representatives of the Gaspé and Lower St. Lawrence region, who raised a total of $7,000 in "toll collections" and personal contributions to come to Ottawa today to tell him, the Minister of Finance and the Minister of Human Resources Development that they will not stand by and let their region wither while this unemployment insurance reform drains our part of the country.
They speak on behalf of 30,000 people who, throughout eastern Quebec and in every regional municipality of our ridings in the Lower St. Lawrence and the Gaspé Peninsula, have expressed their opposition to this reform. All these regions, whose economies depend on seasonal industries, would like to make you understand what they are saying.
Prime Minister, you cannot refuse to meet with these spokespersons who have had a 32-hour bus ride to get here and let you hear their cry from the heart.
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Michel Gauthier Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, in the report he tabled this week, the auditor general said that Revenue Canada has perhaps totally eliminated Canadian income tax on capital gains on goods of enormous value for the future. Before the Standing Committee on Public Accounts, he confirmed that all capital gains realized on shares of public companies could leave the country tax free.
My question is for the Minister of Finance, since he is responsible for the government's tax policies. Does the Minister of Finance agree with the comments of the auditor general to the effect that, in addition to the capital gains in family trusts, all capital gains on publicly held shares may now be exported without Revenue Canada collecting a single cent of tax on them?
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Paul Martin Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, we certainly said clearly when we came to office that there were weaknesses in the taxation system that needed to be corrected. We have supported the actions of the auditor general in this area and will continue to do so. This is in fact one reason why we asked the Standing Committee on Finance to look at all that, because it is vital it be done transparently.
That said, the moment we took office, we established specific measures to prevent the use of tax havens or foreign companies to get around the law.
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Michel Gauthier Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, to be perfectly clear, in addition to family trusts, all shares of public companies may now be transferred out of the country without Revenue Canada being able to collect a single cent. The minister has not mentioned this.
Since Revenue Canada's decision was published on March 21 and since a tax evasion rush is probably underway, why has the minister not suspended the decision of Revenue Canada to put an end to this huge risk of billions of dollars being lost abroad?
Oral Question Period
2:15 p.m.
Paul Martin Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, I think it is worth reading what we have done to set the record straight. At the start, we launched a three-pronged offensive to reduce the use of tax havens by Canadian firms and the outflow of money, what the Leader of the Opposition is referring to.
First, in the 1995 budget, we proposed substantial requirements with respect to statements on interests in foreign companies. Second, in the 1994 budget, changes were made to the Income Tax Act to prevent the transfer of profits realized in Canada to companies abroad located in tax havens.
Third, the government strengthened exclusionary efforts regarding foreign companies and specifically involving inter-segment sales by individuals.
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
Michel Gauthier Leader of the Opposition
Mr. Speaker, I respectfully remind the Minister of Finance and all his colleagues that nothing he has just said in any way alters the situation criticized by the auditor general.
Since finance department officials, as the auditor general revealed, acted very quickly one December 23, after a series of meetings on December 23, to permit this tax loophole to be used, could the Minister of Finance not tell people watching us that his officials will get to work and act equally quickly to prevent the flight of capital out of Canada at great cost to the Government of Canada?
Oral Question Period
2:20 p.m.
Paul Martin Minister of Finance
Mr. Speaker, I have just listed the measures we put in place on our arrival in office. It is very clear. One of the reasons we put this issue to the finance committee was our concern and our keen interest in seeing the whole matter examined.
Now the Leader of the Opposition is talking about officials. I remind him that we are talking about something that happened in 1991 under the previous government. In most cases, the officials who made the decisions are no longer in the same position today.

County mulling pot standards for workers
With Pueblo County placing itself as one of the leaders in regulating the recreational marijuana industry, commissioners on Monday said they are ready to look inward at rules regarding the drug's use by employees.
But the process isn't likely to be simple.
During the commissioners' work session Monday, County Human Resources Director Patsy Cresswell said several department directors have asked her what the county's policy is.
"I've told them that it pretty much stands where it was before," Cresswell said, meaning that drug use isn't tolerated.
"Our policy is to encourage a drug-free work environment. So if an employee reports to work under the influence, that person will be sent for testing," she said.
That policy has included marijuana, but when Colorado voters approved the recreational use of marijuana and the county embraced the movement, it was put in a difficult spot.
If the county chooses to relax its drug-free standards for pot, the new policy will not be applied equally.
Commissioners weren't willing to budge on the current standards for employees in the road and bridge department, for example. And there are a number of positions funded by grants from the federal government that would be exempt, too.
But for everybody else, Commissioner Sal Pace suggested the county can look to the state's new threshold for driving under the influence.
Pace said he envisions a scenario where an employee would be at risk for smoking weed just on a weekend, but coming into work and, for whatever reason, getting reported and sent in for testing.
Tetrahydocannibol, or THC, is the active psychoactive ingredient in marijuana and tends to stay in a person's system for a while.
Pace noted the state has adopted a standard of 5 nanograms of THC per milliliter of blood to determine if someone is driving under the influence of marijuana.
Pace suggested the county could adopt this standard to inoculate weekend smokers from trouble when they show up sober for work.
Cresswell said she would work on some language and bring it back to the commissioners at a future meeting.

Forty-three years ago, John MacArthur set his sights on preaching through the entire New Testament, using verse-by-verse Bible exposition. Over the years he worked hard to accomplish that goal, and he didn't merely hit the highlights of the New Testament or avoid difficult passages. He expounded everything in a bold, courageous, and in-depth manner that we've grown to know and love.
John recently accomplished the goal he set many years ago. As you'd expect, he ended his journey the same way he began—by exalting the person and work of Christ.
We thought you'd like to share in that historic moment by watching the video below. You can also click here to watch, read, or listen to John's landmark message.

Thank you John MacArthur for your teaching and your faithfulness to the Word. Your exposition of the New Testament has helped me tremendously in my walk through this fallen world.
I am amazed by Jesus daily. May all who come to know Him be amazed as well.

Again Pastor MacArthur thank you so very much for your faithful service in feeding your sheep but more than that honoring and bringing God glory by representing the the Word truthfully and without compromise. I can't think of any other Pastor/Teacher who is more commited to truth and research. Wow! forty-three years going through the New Testament. What a treat for those blessed enough to be a faithful member and student at Grace Church. One last word, after 40+ years of serving the Lord God,you still give Him the glory, honor, and praise. Not seeking anything for yourself other then bringing Him more worship and remaining humble. Can anyone say Role Model? I can. Thank you.

thanks be to our lord for allowing me to share this moment
If Mark 16:9 through the ending of the chapter is indeed added text, how does that square with Revelation 22:18-19? "For I testify to everyone who hears the words of the prohpecy of this book: If anyone adds to these things, God will add to him the plagues that are written in this book; and if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life..."
Now that seems to be a VERY strong command NOT to add anything to Scripture, whether it is Biblically sound or not. Does that mean that I've got to take whiteout to the last portion of Mark in my Bible?
It has been more than 25 years that I have been reading your commentaries and using them for my preaching here in Mexico City. I am a Mexican and I married one of your missionaries 20 years ago Karen Tullsen and we have been planting churches in Mexico together. She was deeply prepared by you and Monnie Brewer years ago and has been a great blessing to me as a wife, mother and fellow worker in what God has called us to here in Mexico.Your books and preaching have been a major part of our tools here and countless lives have been transformed in the upper middle class in Mexico and Costa Rica as we extend our work to that country too. I wrote you 20 years ago thanking you for my wife and her GRACE upbringing and I still have your reply. I now thank you on behalf of all the Mexican preachers and many believers we have prepared with your teaching and are spreading the gospel throughout Mexico and Central America. May God richly reward you for all your work. 2 Timothy 1:12

I'm a pastor in Brazil, and I've been very help for your preaching. And I'm very "amazing" for the explanation of Mark's gospel end, and the reaction of the church in keep stand and aplause the conclusion of your great goal in the preach all the NT. I preach in a small church in my country, but I've been receive very strength of your ministry. May God keep blessing your life. I hope be possible that you will came in Brazil for preaching for us. Please, excuse me for my poor english.
Congratulations brother MacArthur!!! What a great accomplishment! I thank God for you and your ministry. This is truly the work of the Holy Spirit in your life.
One more thing... I live in the east coast so I can only follow your teachings via the internet, and I was so eager to listen to this preaching; I have been waiting for a very long time. I belong to a Pentecostal church, and this ending of Mark (verses 9-20) has always been used by everyone in the movement to justify many of the practices. However I always had problems with it (the same way I have problems with many of the things done in Pentecostal churches); I have been studying it for over a year. I have read many commentaries from many different writers and no one was able to answer my questions. It was very frustrating. Now it's so clear. I have no doubts left. Praise God!

Good question, Howard. Were you able to watch the entire message? There's a link above the featured video that will take you there. Hearing the entire exposition will help you better understand why scribes attempted to "add" to the Word of God at the conclusion of Mark.
My husband and I have used your online teachings for a weekly bible study in our home for over 3 years now. It means a great deal to us to have the opportunity to hear and learn the deeper meaning of God's word. Our lives are more fulfilled and our service to God is more abundant as a result. Your devotion in serving God has been a tremendous blessing for many. We are faithful to pray for you, your ministry, and your family. Although it seems that we already know you, we look forward to personally meeting you in heaven.
'Thank-you' for giving to the Lord. We are lives that have been changed.

What a magnificent goal, what an important accomplishment, and what a necessary resource for the Church today!! Thank you soooo much Dr. MacArthur for your faithful work in preaching through the New Testament. Your preaching has done more to shape my spiritual life than any other. I can't thank you enough. My life and the lives of those around me have been changed for the better because of you. I love you and what you have done for me. Thank you so much, you are the fragrance of Christ to me, 2 Cor 2:15-17. Congratulations on this important accomplishment. May God richly bless you and yours. In His Service, Stephen 1 Cor 2:2 (your legacy)

I did listen to the messege, but the only answer I could find was that the passage in Mark was added because folks thought it should be added... Sure, it squares with the Biblical accounts found in other gospels, and it is what happened, but is "just because" a reason to shun the warnings in Revelation 22???
I'm just really confused... (That's not too difficult to do)
I think part of the motivation behind the strange, extended ending of Mark (the reason you find that section in brackets in many English translations) was due to the threat of the Revelation passage you quoted. In a Scribe's mind, pushing the delete button on Scripture was just as horrendous as "adding" to Scripture. Perhaps that's why they were so reluctant to scrap the false endings that were passed down to them, thinking "What if this really is Scripture, and we cut it out!" That being said, I think the warning in Revelation applies to those with devious motives. John MacArthur had this to say in his commentary on Revelation 22:18:
The canon of Scripture was closed at the end of the first century when Revelation was finished. Thus, any false prophet, fraud, or charlatan who adds alleged new revelations to it (as the Montanists did in the early church and Joseph Smith, Mary Baker Eddy, and other false prophets have done in recent times) will face divine vengeance. God will add to such people the plagues which are written in the book of Revelation. God's judgment will be equally severe on anyone who takes away from the words of Scripture (as the heretic Marcion did in the early church and liberal higher critics have done in modern times)—God will take away their part from the tree of life and from the holy city. Both warnings contain a play on words. Those who add to Scripture will have plagues added to them; those who take away from Scripture will have the blessings of heaven taken away from them.
I hope that helps, brother.
Dearest Pastor John MacArthur - Thank you so much for your many years of teaching ministry. I've been a Christian 30 years and listened to your messages all this time. I praise God for using you on a daily basis. Also, thank you to all the faithful staff who work with you to have your messages available to listen. Hallelujah to the King for His Amazing Love for His people.
Peace to you, Joan
Thank you Pastor John, I have learned and grown so much from your verse by verse expository preaching. You are a rare breed in todays church. Keep up the God honoring, Christ-centered preaching! Bless you, your congregation and your family!
Thank you Dr.MacArthur.
I have learned so much from you..I am reformed thanks 2 a message from you about 2 years ago..on election..now i love the messages on them..I am southern baptist in name only...our pastor is teaching some strange things...i saw in a post or book of your where you said "evangelicals" open opposite of Paull..Paul starts with the wrath of God..pastor morgan start off with: repeat after me:
God loves you,the bible says it,I believe it...do you? then he asks..what are you gonna do about it..then starts off with warnings of false gods,mormons,Jw..etc..i understand but would like your thoughts..yes he has met you in person..when i mention you i see he does not like it..when i quote you or show a book etc..thanks for you teaching..that is where i get the meat of the word.
Thanks Pastor MacArthur, your clear and faithful teaching of the Word of God is an encouragement to me to share with every one that is within my reach, beginning with my family, church small group and the people I pray with every Sunday. Many of the doctrines floating around in the evangelical world is very confusing and I despaired at ever understanding them let alone obey them.
Thanks again for your sound and clear teaching that gives me courage to hold on to the truth and let His Word speak for Himself.
Thank you John Macarthur and your faithfulness to Christ cause, for the Bible says, "it is required that those who have been given a trust must prove faithful" (1 Corinthians 4:2).
Thank you for your personal commitment to Jesus Christ as your Lord and Saviour and to the Word of God.
Thank you for the love you have for your wife and family demonstrating a stable and healthy family. For the Scripture says of church leadership, "he must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect" (1 Timothy 3:4).
Thank you for your thoughtful exposition of the Word,Pastor John, as you heed your call to "Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction" (2 Timothy 4:2).
There are not many of pastors like you left..Keep up the good fight....Lord Bless
Amen Praise God for your many years of preaching and Teaching Dr. Macarthur I have listened to a number of your sermons and own your study bible it has helped me grown closer to the Lord. I love reading God's Word now and Everytime I go to the Word I learn something new.
God Bless you and Your Faithful ministry
God has given John an unusual gift of expounding on His Word.
What a true accomplishment!!! Thank God for His Son Jesus Christ, and thank God for faithful pastors who will preach the Word faithfully as John MacArthur has done.
I read something the other day that just really hit me in a very good and profound way. It is a quote by Stephen Charnock.
"This is the prime way of honoring God. We do not so glorify God by elevated admirations, or eloquent expressions, or pompous services of Him, as when we aspire to a conversing with Him with unstained spirits, and live to Him in living "like" Him."
Dr. MacArthur's testimony was/is true on two counts, expositing God's Word faithfully and in living "like" Him. What more could a person ask for?
Dear John:
Words cannot express my gratitude for your ministry. After attending and being involved in church ministries for 20+ years, I was flat on my back for 6 months and couldn't go to church. By God's grace alone, I found your website. I didn't realize how parched I was from all of the dry, dead teaching that I was a part of. Since that time (it has been two years), I have daily gone to your website and drank in the refreshing water of your teaching. It has changed my life. I am finally at peace regarding my convictions.
Many people remark who they would like to meet in heaven other than Jesus, be it Paul, Moses, Abraham, but John you are the one who I want to meet because you, through Christ, have made the most impact on my walk with God.
Blessings and a forever thank you.
Jean Selden
Dr. MacArthur....thank you so much for your faithfulness to the Word of God. And I thank you from the bottom of my heart for being the model of what a preacher should be. I have learned so much from your teaching and I can only hope and pray that my preaching of the Word of God will be as solid and as faithful as yours has been. Thank you for your training. And though I am on the east coast, I intend to own every one of the 850 books the Masters Seminary suggests that every biblical expositor should have. Again, thank you and may God continue to bless you and your ministry.
SO thankful for you Pastor John. I can't think of words to describe the difference your teaching has made in my life. I pray you would continue to preach with such conviction and boldness that many more would grow in their Faith. I think the difference between Johnny Mac and most others is his unwavering belief in the power of Scripture. There are no gimmicks or show or false promises, just the clear exposition of God's word. I agree with someone earlier who posted that they most look forward to meeting YOU in heaven. I know there must be so many people who feel this way. Keep it up John, noone does it quite like you do!
First of all, please excuse my mistakes because I'm a French speaking Canadian woman. I've been a born again Christian for 18 years now and I've never been that close to the Lord. On New Year Eve of 2011, I've prayed the Lord to help me become more spiritual and less carnal. You can be SURE that our God answers to that kind of prayers. May God be blessed. I've learned a lot these past years, but now that I've discovered your Website, it's like I'm already in heaven! I thank God for your ministry and for your website. Mr. MacArthur sermons's are like precious stones. I've just listened to the sermon called Spiritual Blindness and it's exactly what I was thinking and was telling to the Lord this past month. Christ is the light but people are staying in the darkness because they prefer the sin to the Lord. It's so comforting to find people who love the Lord and the Gospel like you do. I'll always be amazed by our dear and precious Lord Jesus Christ. Thank you for your hard work and may God bless you tremendously.
i almost cried. praise God for the this mans life.
I echo all the congratulations above, but I was thinking... has Pastor MacArthur not gone through a OT book in 43 years? I honestly don't know, but the thought of neglecting 3/4 of the Bible (77% by volume) for that length of time should make us think twice.
My family and I are thankful to God for the Spurgeon of our day, John MacArthur Jr. May God raise up 100 more men that speak the truth with such clarity and unyielding conviction . May John be blessed for his faithfulness to scripture and his service to the bride of Christ, even outside the walls of Grace Community Church.
# 27 - Brett, are you sure you want to use the word "neglect"? I'd think twice.
In any case, John MacArthur has also gone through Daniel and Zechariah, Genesis up to chapter 11. If you understand what expository preaching is, you will know he hasn't neglected the Old Testament.
I used a gray crayola marker to shade the portion. That way, when I read or show others the passage, I can be reminded/remind others what the problem is. The fact is, there isn't anything in the last portion of Mark that isn't in the rest of the Bible.. EXCEPT the part that adds a "doctrine" that guarantees you immunity from physical harm if you're a Christian. Don't completely erase it. As long as the majority of the printed Bible includes it, mark it to remind yourself and others what is wrong with it. In short, my opinion/suggestion (which is worth very little) is, use it as a teaching tool. I KNOW that it's not part of the Bible and it doesn't affect my belief to leave the passage in. It only annoys me that someone added stuff like that.
I am so grateful to God for the ministry of Grace to you and for John MacArthur. You have been such a great benefit to me as a Christian, husband and father (now 33).
I have been listening to Grace to you for the last 18 months or so and have started listening to mp3s from as far back as 1969, Ive completed the John series and have started on Ephesians.... it's just been great to get all this solid and excellent bible teaching for FREE with no stings attached.
I'm serious since listening to John MacArthur I have grown in leaps and bounds both in mental comprehension of Gods truth and in walking that out each day.
I want to say a big thank you and congratulations to John and the whole team for reaching this great milestone which will stand for years as a great resource for the body of Christ. I remember watching this video a few months back and being very moved.... God has indeed been glorified.
I am from a traditionally pentecostal background / church and just pray that others like me will also be led to these resources and grow in their walk with God.
Thank you Pastor John MacArthur for your faithful exposition of scripture all these years. I wasn't even born when you began (I'm only 28) but I can still say thanks! Your careful exegesis of scripture and non-compromising teaching has truly been a blessing in my life, and as we can see, in the lives of others as well.
You are truly a role model for me as I continue to grow in the ministry, and I will never forget your bold stance for the truth. By the grace of God, I desire one day to be that Pastor who stands on God's word no matter what the rest of the evangelical community is doing. I will teach my children, and if God allows me to live long enough, my Children's Children the truth. May God continue to surround you with His grace and mercy.
Till we meet in heaven....
Brother Scott-your prayer is being answered because I too was born and raised in the erroneous Pentecostal movement and I was able to escape its clutches through the grace of God and Pastor MacArthur's teachings. I have shared the truth with family members who subsequently don't want to hear it. But I yet speak the truth, in love, to them anyways. Continue to share the truth my brother in Christ God Bless!
Dear John,
I have been listening to your preaching for the past 23 years. You have shown me the way through Jesus Christ and it was through your preaching that I left a church with wrong doctrines.
Praise God for a man like you to whom Truth matters! You have a special place in my heart and I have met you once when you came to JHBurg - South Africa and I look forward to be with you again one day in Heaven. Congratulations for your acomplishment . Well done, please keep up the good work. We really need your teachings, so that we can mature in God's Word. I'm also amazed.
May the Lord keep blessing you, Patricia and the rest of your family.
Lots of love Lena and Husband.
Bless you Brandon,
I just wanted to say that I certainly do not write of the whole Pentecostal denomination, there are many churches in or originally from (like ours) the denomination who are not heretics like the oneness Pentecostals etc and share the common fundamental beliefs with the rest of biblical evangelical Christianity.
However I do pray that where misunderstandings, bad teaching, anti intellectualism, arminian overtones and shallow theology have crept into various areas of the evangelical fold, that God would use the ministry of John MacArthur and others to restore, correct and defend the faith once delivered to the saints.
I feel extremely blessed that God ordained the time when I went visit my family in California and we happened to go on the Sunday when Dr. Macarthur preached this message. We were visiting from Florida and we just were extremely blessed by this message. I am so thankful for your ministry. I'm so happy my children were able to be there to hear you preach the word of God. Thank You for all your hard work and dedication.

Alyssa Johl, from MSV partner Climate Law and Policy Project, shares her impressions of the 4th day of climate change negotiations in Bangkok.
Hi all,
Today marks the 4th day of yet another slow-going session of negotiations for a new global treaty on climate change. During last night's briefing with the U.S. delegation, Jonathan Pershing, the lead negotiator for the U.S., began his remarks by asking "Why has there been no movement? What is holding up this process?" His response, quite candidly, was "the U.S." Despite the U.S.' weak negotiating mandate and the slog to consolidate the 280-page negotiating text to something more manageable, there has been significant progress in some areas.
On behalf of Climate Law & Policy Project and Many Strong Voices, we are working to protect the individuals and communities most vulnerable to climate change and, within the climate negotiations, to ensure that human rights protections are integrated in the final agreement.
Currently, the treaty text contains many references to the human rights implications of climate change as well as the need to protect vulnerable peoples, indigenous peoples and displaced peoples (oftentimes referred to as climate refugees). We are following the negotiations closely to make sure that these references survive the massive text consolidation that is underway and advocating for stronger language that is based on existing human rights obligations and commitments.
We are not alone in this effort to incorporate human rights into the international climate framework. Earlier this week at an event in Geneva, Swiss Foreign Minister Micheline Calmy-Rey said it was crucial that the voices of the most vulnerable are represented in Copenhagen. She further stated "[i]t is essential from a human rights perspective that the Copenhagen accord not only ensures the reduction of dangerous greenhouse gas emissions, but also guarantees the participation of citizens" in the development and implementation of climate policies.
Over the next week, we hope to meet with the Swiss and other delegations here in Bangkok to further develop partnerships and support for human rights language in the treaty text. Stay tuned for more next week!

Seth Godin's manifesto, Stop Stealing Dreams (What Is School For?), argues that schools are designed to keep kids out of the labor force and train them to be "compliant and productive workers."
Our current system of teaching kids to sit in straight rows and obey instructions isn't a coincidence–it was an investment in our economic future. The plan: trade short-term child-labor wages for longer-term productivity by giving kids a head start in doing what they're told.
. . . As we get ready for the ninety-third year of universal public education, here's the question every parent and taxpayer needs to wrestle with: Are we going to applaud, push, or even permit our schools (including most of the private ones) to continue the safe but ultimately doomed strategy of churning out predictable, testable, and mediocre factory workers?
The economy has changed dramatically, Godin writes. Teaching compliance is counterproductive now.
Justin Baeder takes on Godin's thesis here and here on Ed Week's On Performance blog.
. . . certainly, the public school curriculum has not kept up with the times to the extent needed to effectively prepare students to compete in the economy.
But were schools ever explicitly designed to create compliant workers? Godin goes so far as to draw a sharp dichotomy between teaching a rich set of skills and teaching obedience. Is it really impossible to teach obedience and creativity at the same time?
I've heard the schools-as-factories argument before and found it unpersuasive. The average American never has been a factory worker — and few factory workers needed much education until recently. Furthermore, if we're educating for compliance, we're doing a lousy job of it.
That said, it's worth discussing Godin's ideas on educating leaders.

Cedarville edges Hillman in double overtime in regional final
PELLSTON- A lot of people may have doubted that the Hillman boys basketball team could swing with Cedarville in a Class D regional final.
Hillman may have been riding a nine game win streak, but No. 2 Cedarville was 21-1 was one of the top teams in the state.
Hillman proved its doubters wrong by going head-to-head with the Trojans in a 92-85 loss on Wednesday that went into double overtime and had fans from both sides of the gym on their feet and cheering.
"Well I'll tell you what, Cedarville is number two in the state and we went with them blow for blow all game. The boys really jived mentally since we started our streak in Au Gres. They got it in their head that they could beat anybody and I couldn't be any more proud of them," Hillman coach Eric Muszynski said.
Trailing late in the fourth qaurter, Hillman (17-6) narrowed the lead to 66-65 with a Mike Klein three pointer. Two free throws by Brad Causley seemed to put the game out of Hillman's reach. But as Mason VanPamel threw up a last-second desperation three pointer, he was pushed by a desperate Cedarville player and got to shoot three free throws with zero seconds left.
He made all three to tie the game at 68.
VanPamel went eight for nine free throws on the night and scored 17 points.
The first overtime saw the Trojans continuing to play the kind of high octane basketball that has kept them at the top in all but one of their games. Hillman was able to answer back and another last second three pointer by VanPamel helped the game stretch into double overtime with a score of 79-79.
Cedarville took solid control in the second overtime, but Hillman wasn't ready to give up. The Tigers ran into foul trouble though as Mike Olschanski and Klein fouled out, joining Ty Jones who fouled out with five seconds left in regulation.
"If we'd have had a little bit more luck with fouls and cut down on our turnovers, we could have won," VanPamel said.
Hillman no doubt stunned Cedarville as it took a 5-0 lead in the first quarter and stayed ahead the rest of the period. Jones, Olschanski and Dylan Ross went toe-to-toe with an aggressive Cedarville defense to help keep the Tigers ahead.
The Trojans were successful offensively but Hillman was able to grab enough rebounds and hit enough shots to take an 18-12 lead at the end of the quarter.
Jones led Hillman with 25 points and hit several triples during the game.
Cedarville used its full-court press to try to cause troubles for Hillman's offense in the second quarter and was able to cause some confusion and turnovers. However, the Trojans struggled under the basket and Olschanski and Hunter Fessler were able to take advantage of this struggle to snag several rebounds. This opened up more offense for Mike Klein and Jones, who combined for five threes in the period.
Klein was impressed by the fluidity of his teammates.
"It felt really great to come together like that as a team. It was definitely our best game of the season," he said.
Hillman was able to maintain control of the game for the rest of the second quarter, staying ahead 35-29 in spite of a last second Dan Stenbeck field goal.
The Trojans were able to assert themselves offensively against Hillman in the second half. The third quarter saw increasing pressure from Josh Hester, Todd Hecht and Stenbeck as Hillman began to struggle against the Trojans' press. The Trojans forced a lot of turnovers and steals on the struggling Tigers.
"We ran into a little trouble there at the end of the second and through the third. It wasn't the deciding factor but it gave us something to think about," Muszynski said.
The Trojans' pressure allowed them to take a 58-48 lead by the end of the third quarter.
The fourth quarter saw Klein and Jones continuing to sink three pointers as Cedarville continued to hit baskets and press defensively.
The Tigers fought hard to the end but were forced to foul the Trojans to regain control and struggled to hit the basket enough to win.
The Hillman players may have had tears in their eyes at the end of the game, but many of them couldn't have been happier.
"We lost but it still feels great. I couldn't be more proud of my boys, we played with the kind of heart and drive that we needed. Next season is going to be big. We're going to be practicing over the summer and working on getting better," Jones said.
Muszynski believes this game may put Hillman boys basketball on the map.
"Nobody gave little old Hillman much of a chance. All the 'experts' said we were going to lose by 30 or 40 points. Maybe coming in under the radar helped us and took Cedarville off guard. But we got no secrets now so we gotta make sure we improve even more for next year," he said.

Angels In Adoption
SILVER CREEK – U.S. Sen. Charles E. Schumer announced last week that Patty and Gary Wicks, from Silver Creek, will be receiving a congressional distinction honoring them for being "Angels in Adoption."
The Congressional Coalition on Adoption Institute's (CCAI) Angels in Adoption program provides a way for members of Congress to honor an individual, couple or organization from their state or district that has made a difference in the lives of children that are in need of a family to call their own.
This year, Schumer nominated Patty and Gary Wicks for their more than two decades of foster care.
"Our society can be measured by how we treat our most vulnerable citizens; this metric is true of individuals and families as well. Patty and Gary Wicks, over the course of more than 23 years, have opened their doors to over 80 foster children in need of a family, raising each and every one of them with love and care, including adopted sons and daughters who struggle with multiple, serious medical conditions. They are fully deserving of this congressional honor, and beyond that deserve our highest esteem," said Schumer.
Schumer said that Patty and Gary Wicks exemplify Angels in Adoption to the fullest. Since their foster certification in 1990, the Wicks have opened their family's home to over 80 foster children. The care and attention the Wicks express to their family members is recognized by community members. The Court Appointed Special Advocate in charge of visiting the foster children in their placement homes praises the Wicks compassion in caring for their nine children, four of which are adopted, including one that is disabled. Schumer said the Wicks are a truly remarkable couple who have aided so many children that they deserve to be recognized.
The family will officially receive their award Oct. 8 and will be attending a gala in Washington, D.C., Oct. 9.
Past honorees include foster parents, adoptive parents, social workers, adoption advocates, foster care organizations, or judges. Since 1999, members of Congress have honored over 1,800 individuals, families and organizations through CCAI's Angels in Adoption.
