Who is the Holy Spirit? – Part 2
"Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him" (See Romans 8:1-17, RSV).
A crisis of faith at the tender age of 14
"Now faith is the substance of things hoped for, the evidence of things not seen" (Hebrews 11:1).
But that was my problem—believing in what was not seen.
Jesus Christ and The Bible releases spiritual power
You may ask why Christians put so much emphasis on the Bible. The main reason is this: The way you treat your Bible is the way you treat Jesus Christ. He is the living Word and the Bible is the written Word, and they agree in their character and ministry. The accompanying charts help demonstrate this concept.

Some guys just can't stay out of trouble. And Johnny Morris seems to be one of them.
Within four days Morris, 45, had allegedly assaulted a sheriff's deputy, had a standoff with police at a Jellico gas station and was allegedly found in possession of meth.
Morris' bad run of luck began on June 6 when CCSD Deputy Gary Jeffers saw Morris walking along Pine Mountain Road.
This year the Jellico Board of Mayor and Aldermen created an eight-week summer work program for teens.
While the Tennessee Career Center recruited students at Jellico High School to work for different industries, the Town's program gave them the alternative of working outdoor jobs. Jobs were only offered to rising and graduating seniors who live in Jellico.
"I'd love to work everybody, but we have to take care of the kids from Jellico," Jellico Mayor Les Stiers said.
A Knoxville City K-9 officer was killed in Campbell County last week after he allegedly bit a woman.
Police reports indicate the woman was in her garage when she noticed Elko, a Belgian Malinois, standing in the doorway. Her first inclination was to attempt to chase the dog from the garage by yelling and clapping her hands, the Campbell County Sheriff's Department report said. Instead of Elko leaving the garage, he allegedly advanced towards the 71-year-old woman biting her on the right arm, pulling her to the ground.

Holiday baking tip 4: Consider whole-grain flour
By Matthew Thompson, December 8, 2011 - 9:00am
Matthew asks: Do you bake with whole grains?
YesI do. Although I am gluten free, I mix flours adding millet and sorghum for my all-purpose mix. Quinoa, teff and amaranth are used depending on the end product. Quinoa complements chocolate, so it gets added to chocolate cookies and chocolate cakes

Always! Best at and most practice with quick breads and biscuits, but will be having lots of fun this Christmas with cookie baking. I like to change it up, trying different flours like brown rice, oat bran, stoneground whole wheat, and whole wheat pastry flour of course. Love the hardiness and rich complex natural flavors, not to mention the vital nutrition included that would be missed by using refined and bleached flours. Love it!

I made pies switching out the regular white flour for wheat flour. Believe it or not, it was the worst idea I ever had. No one at our Thanksgiving feast ate the pies. The taste was not appealing.

Medicare: Common Situations
To help you get started thinking about Medicare drug coverage, find the situation that describes you and learn what you need to do.
- "I have Original Medicare only, or Original Medicare and a Medigap ('Supplement') Policy without drug coverage."If you use an average amount of prescription drugs, Medicare's new prescription drug coverage could pay over half of your drug costs next year. If you have very high unexpected drug costs, Medicare will pay up to 95% of these costs after you spend $3,600 out-of- pocket in a year.
What you need to do:
To get this drug coverage, you can join a Medicare Prescription Drug Plan that covers prescription drugs only and keep your Original Medicare coverage the way it is. Or you can join a Medicare Advantage Plan or other Medicare Health Plan that covers doctor and hospital care as well as prescriptions.Page 1 of 2

|Will you be my forever home?
MONTREAL, Quebec, Canada (rushPRnews) 02/27/13 — Delphine – Compassionate Placement (Donation)
Look at me, you can see my very soul in this photo! I NEED an EARTH ANGEL in my life as soon as possible. A VERY special person who will give me a real home as I had surgery to remove a mammary tumor that was found to be cancerous. The vet thinks it they got it all but cannot guarantee it, so Gerdy's will follow-up with me medically. Cancer treatment in dogs can buy a lot of time and have no side effects.
The thing is, I need someone who will see me through the rest of my life, no matter how long or short it will be. I know that such a person is rare in these times. Please, God, there is someone for me.
I am 9 years old, a sterilized female Long-Haired Dachshund. This is what I offer you in return: I can stay alone, I am HOUSETRAINED, I walk nicely on leash, I CAN be crated but it is really not necessary. I have NO bad behaviour. I am friendly, calm, quiet and I like to be petted.
Because of my size and age, kids 10+ please. I am good with other dogs but Gerdy would like me to be the only pet as she says I DESERVE all the attention this time around.
I am such a GOOD GIRL, seeking compassion, lots of cuddles and love. Gerdy's will help me all they can, will YOU?

When looking for car batteries for sale you need to keep in mind the various factors involved in the overall price of the battery. Below you will find a few paragraphs describing these various costs.
Cost of the Battery
The base cost of the battery is going to be the largest portion of the price of a battery. Depending on your location, what series you need, how many cold cranking amps it's capable of producing, and the reserve capacity, along with construction quality, which determines battery life, you can expect to pay anywhere from approximately $40 all the way up to almost $300.
Core Charge
Except for brand new cars, there are actually very few brand new batteries powering cars on the roads right now. Most batteries are rebuilt to help maintain affordability. Depending on where you're shopping, you will pay between $5 and $10 for a core charge. This core charge is refunded once you return the old battery, known as the core.
Installation Costs
Installation is something that someone with the right size wrenches or sockets can complete in about 15 minutes. However, if you don't wish to get dirty or don't have the right tools, you shouldn't be required to pay anything more than $20 for a battery installation. Some of the large retail parts chains offer free battery installation with purchase.
Extended Warranties
The average warranty period of a decent quality battery is around 60 months. Usually this will be broken down into a 12 or 24 month free replacement period. After the free replacement period expires, if the battery goes bad or is defective, the replacement will be pro-rated. Some retailers offer an extended warranty, which will extend the free replacement period up to the full life of the battery. Average price for an extended warranty will be between $20 to $50 .
The preceding paragraphs address the four factors which affect the overall purchase price of car batteries for sale. For car battery reviews, see the Consumer Reports website. Remember that no garage is complete without a car battery charger of some sort, in case your battery ever goes dead or is unable to start your car.

Forget for a moment the bitterness and anger that flowed through the Monkees camp in recent years; the unexpected death today of DAVY JONES at age 66, the sole British member of the manufactured-for-television outfit, is a sad moment in the annals of post-Paul Anka/pre-Bieber teen-idolatry.
Jones, of course, was the most beloved mate on the Monkees, a ridiculously scatterbrained late-'60s television stepchild of the similarly tongue-in-cheek 1964 Beatles film A Hard Day's Night. Cast as actors first with musicianship an afterthought, Mickey Dolenz, Mike Nesmith, Peter Tork and Jones eventually learned to pull off songs in a live setting adequately enough to satiate the screaming fans eager to be hoodwinked into taking a low-rent Fab Four over the real thing as long as it slightly sounded and somewhat looked the part. The singles "I'll Be True to You," "Star Collector" and the number one hit "Daydream Believer" all featured Jones on lead vocals; he was the variety shop cute one.
The Manchester-born Jones came up as a singer after fellow Manc notables Herman's Hermits and before Joy Division, but will be remembered best for his pint-sized prettiness that made young girls swoon. Most notorious was Santa Monica native Marcia Brady, who as a regional "Davy Jones Fan Club" president in 1971 made news when she somehow managed to get the singer to not only perform at her junior high prom, but be her date as well.
Jones at that point had ceased to be a Monkee, as the show was off the air, and he was having a go as a solo-heartthrob who might've given Paul Weller a run for his money fashion-wise were he born 15 years later.
Throughout the '70s and '80s, Jones split time as a stage performer and a musician, while occasionally reprising his most well-known role as "Monkee Davy Jones," buoyed in part by the return of the show in the mid- to late-'80s to nostalgia-centric television like Nick-at-Nite. He played himself happily on programs from My Two Dads to SpongeBob SquarePants. Though embracing his past so enthusiastically, there was never a proper reunion period for The Monkees. Attempts bombed routinely as the most talented member musically, Nesmith, refused to participate because he wanted to be taken seriously; this despite the fact that he made his bones on the Monkees while wearing a wool hat with a puff ball on it.
Relocating to rural Pennsylvania, Jones raised and raced horses while sporadically touring both solo and with Dolenz and Tork. The three got together last year as the Monkees one last time, again sans Nesmith, for a 45th anniversary trek that was dragged down by reports of bad blood boiling over into rehearsals, possibly as overdue fallout from 2009 when Jones said he had "no time" for his former cast mates.
But hey, hey; Jones will always be a Monkee, and now hopefully he's in a better place, too busy singing, to put anybody down.

Social Media meets TV, 'Now Trending' segments on Action News Live @ 3
As social media producer, I know that viewers are more likely to click, read, share, "like" and "retweet" stories that are uplifting, humorous or interesting on a social level. Viewers love the stories that make them cry and they can relate to – stories that they're likely to talk about in a social setting. I like to say, social media is like a big party…no one who shows up talking about death and destruction is going to be invited to the next gathering.
Since I'm also on-air five days a week, I'm able to integrate what's popular on social media to the newscasts. The daily "Now Trending" segments are stacked with stories that our viewers are clicking on and chatting about on the web. Here's one example.
To see more stories trending now, visit NowTrending.com.
Marino, home and healed six weeks after surgery
Frank Marino, Las Vegas' longest running headliner admits that plastic surgery is his addiction in Part 1 of this 2-part series. Six weeks later he says he's happy with the cosmetic surgery results, believes there will be no more major surgeries, only fillers and other minor facial re-touches to stay firm and flawless. Marino invites me into his home for a private interview, plus takes me on a ride to his first night back on stage.
Sunrise in Sin City
There's something sweet and surreal about waking up before the sun rises, to deliver the breaking news/trending headlines to all of Las Vegas. I hit the roof top of KTNV-TV this morning to report on the expansion of Dowtown. I couldn't help but snap a pic or two. It's not often you feel a cool, desert breeze blow by, while the Las Vegas lights sit still. I've never felt so at peace in Las Vegas, until this morning.
While the air was calm, headlines were being made around the globe. Check out some of the stories I reported on, below:

The best part about filling-in on the morning show: having the chance to wake up with the community. I'm really impressed with the amount of people who love to interact via Facebook and Twitter during the newscast… at the crack of dawn!

Broadway in Las Vegas
We work, we grind, we cover the events and news happening all across the Valley. But, sometimes it's healthy to unwind.
Las Vegas is an incredible city to call, Home. When I first moved here, a colleague mentioned that it's "trendy" to say there's no culture in Las Vegas. He was right, that's just a trend. The reality: there's absolutely culture and community in this town. Whether you're on or off the strip, there's always something BIG happening. From celebrity appearances on the regular to art exhibits, museums galore and great broadway shows.
On the topic of Broadway, this Summer, get tickets to see Priscilla Queen of the Desert at The Venetian. The feel good musical is loud, proud and full of glitter, wigs, lipstick, elaborate costumes and of course, boas!

For the love of comics
Getting out and about in the community, mingling with the movers and shakers that make Las Vegas tick… is a huge reason why I love my job. I enjoy people and their stories, always have and will.
This week, with the Amazing Las Vegas Comic Con in town, I took to Alternate Reality Comic Shop to shoot the weekly "13 Things To Do This Weekend" segment.
Alternate Reality Comic Shop from Megan Telles on Vimeo.
What I thought would be a quick turn-around piece, turned into much more. I met a man in the community, running a local comic shop. Simple, right? So wrong. Ralph is a mainstay in the Las Vegas comic-community, introduced to me by a colleague (Mark Otto) who's a huge comic enthusiast. I posted a pic of Ralph to Facebook… and the out pour of love and respect for the man was undeniably a beautiful thing. He's a quiet, kind and charismatic shop-owner, with a love for comics since the 1970's. One of Ralph's long-time customers wrote, "Ralph and his store introduced me to most of the comics I love today! One of the greatest men in the comic biz if you ask me. Attention much deserved."
I'll admit, I didn't quite understand the craze around comics before meeting and listening to Ralph. But, I'm starting to get it. I look forward to getting back to the shop and picking Ralph's brain about what it is about these "graphic novels" that light up the hearts and spark a sense of nostalgia, for so many. Stay tuned for that…
Until then, as a tribute to Ralph and all the comic-enthusiasts reading this, I'm headed to the theatre this weekend to see "Man of Steel" 🙂

Devastation in Connecticut triggers a larger conversation
Most of the nation woke up this morning, never predicting that the worst elementary school shooting in the U.S. would go down in history today. It was a case of mental-illness mixed with loaded guns that left Sandy Hook Elementary School (Newtown, CT), with 20 less children and 6 less adults. The gunman's name is Adam Lanza. A 20 year-old man who killed his mother, first. Children and adults next. Then, turned the gun on himself. 27 total deaths in Newtown today.
While this story is tragic and unimaginable to us here on the opposite side of the country, it's a living nightmare for the parents, grandparents, brothers and sisters who must endure the loss of family, on this devastating December day.
President Obama spoke out in an emotional speech this afternoon, ABC's Diane Sawyer interviewed a surviving teacher tonight. Her heart-wrenching interview [here].
In local communities, like here in Las Vegas, people took to social media to talk about the tragedy. Everyone, sends their condolences to the families mourning tonight:
"I have finally stopped crying, but It is when my 7 year old goes in to the kitchen and makes himself a bowl of cereal and says waaaa laaaaa — makes me cry all over to think I would not be able to see that anymore from him — mmmmm I feel for those parents who can't anymore. Man this hurts so bad." – Jenny Guerrero Bowser
"This is so heartbreaking sending all my thoughts and prayers to all the families in Newtown, Conn." – Karen Hopkins
"So tragic my heart goes to all the families involved and god bless all. So many little innocent life's taken." – Abby Herrera
"My prayers go out to these babies and their family's." – Stevie Marie Guier
This is the biggest story of the day, and may be the biggest story of 2012. So, we must ask ourselves… how are our local communities preparing for an incident like this? Do we have the proper security in our public school systems?
My older brother, Greg, a man who always shines light on the bigger picture, took to Facebook with this statement:
"Stop the blame game. Stop blaming government. Stop blaming conservatives. Stop picking on liberals. Just grieve. There are mentally unstable people everywhere. Let's focus on identifying the problems around us early and stop ignoring them. We cannot compare our minds to theirs. More mental health help..and increased background checks. Nothing's wrong with guns, let's just identify the source of the problem..the people."
He has a point. So, what are your thoughts? Is today's tragedy a red-flag, proving that we need preventative care for the mentally-ill? Or is this a gun control issue? Or wait. In a culture that is entertained by violence, pays to see violence, glorifies violence in all forms of TV, film and video games… is this a cultural issue?
If so, how do we go about fixing that?
Sound off, below.

Accessing ski terrain via snowmobile is pretty much like being given the keys to the candy store. That's especially true here in Crested Butte, where the heavy snow zones are all miles away from anywhere a car or truck can get. But once you've gotten a snowmobile, the next question becomes "How do I attach my skis to the snowmobile?". The worst way is to attach the skis to your backpack, possibly catching the skis on trees and definitely making for a sore back. The next worst way is to place the skis on top of the running boards and attach them with some bungee cords. I used this method for years, but it tears your seat apart, takes time to set up, and is only good for one pair of skis.
Once skiers get serious about sled skiing, they will often purchase a rack from Cheetah Factory Racing. They're nice, but they're very expensive, and they put the weight of the skis right on the tunnel, which has bent the tunnel of a number of my friends' sleds.
So, I decided to try my own thing. I've seen a number of homemade ski racks, and most of them seem pretty marginal at best. Perhaps my system will fall into the same category, but so far I'm very happy with it. I purchased gun racks from Cabela's (click on the image at the bottom of this post), and then I tried to figure out how best to attach them to my sled. In the end, the only way I wanted to attach the racks would require welding, which I had done by ACD Welders here in Crested Butte. He was able to weld small brackets directly to my sled as well as tap the holes so I could mount the racks right in them. I added a little bit of rubber padding for shock absorption and lock washers, and voila!, I was done. Some pics:
I like the location of these mounts a lot. The weight is placed on the running boards and the bumper, both capable of taking some weight. The racks themselves are fairly flexy, so the hope is that both the skis and the snowmobile will be safe and secure with this set-up.
Anyone have an opinion on this set-up? Good, bad, or otherwise? FYI, my total investment is currently $130.

Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart "Aren't Together," Declares Magazine
The same magazine that thinks Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart are currently raising a toddler has some sad news to report about the couple. According to a "source" for OK!, the Twilight stars "aren't together right now."
"They're taking a break for obvious reasons: He's in Australia [filming The Rover] and she's in L.A. And they need time to see what else is out there in the world," explains the tab's insider. "They've decided they need to date other people."
Oh, really? Because Stewart and Pattinson's situation was exactly the same just a few weeks ago when OK! ran a cover story falsely announcing the pair was getting married. What's changed since then? Nothing.
And OK! knows that its report is bogus, because after declaring that Stewart and Pattinson are off, the mag's "source" spends the rest of the story hemming and hawing, trying to cover all the bases with blather like, "If it's meant to be, they'll get back together. If it's not, they'll keep doing what they're doing." How insightful.
We've said it before, and it's time to say it again: OK! has absolutely no idea what's going on with Stewart and Pattinson. The only difference between OK!'s newest uninformed flip-flop and, say, HollywoodLife's, is that trees had to die for the magazine's report. A source close to the situation tells Gossip Cop the story is "off base."
NOTE: The discourse in the comments section on recent stories about Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart has occasionally sunk to nasty personal attacks and ugly language that adds little to the conversation. We'd like our site to be a place where people can show passion while still being civil. Please be respectful of fellow commenters. Also, spamming is NOT allowed.

Improve Customer Service in a Busy Corporate Environment: The Take-a-Number System
Posted on November 30, 2012
The take-a-number system of organizing crowds has been used by the most successful businesses for centuries now. The system has many advantages including the fact that, even in its most basic form, it relaxes customers who are no longer defensive about their position in queue. Even more important, it allows them to further browse the shop and perhaps chooses more products and the system can still be used in its original form and is still used that way today. Initially it was just a roll of tickets with numbers and the customers would take a number as they entered, and the sales people would call out the next number as soon as they were ready to serve.
Needless to say, that system has certain disadvantages, not the least of which being that it forces the sales l personnel to be very careful about the way they keep track of the numbering system. The problem becomes even more difficult when there is more than one teller and they have to synchronize each other, keeping track of not only their numbering system but also where their peers are. Still the system has worked extremely well for many years now, and a trained group of employees can use it almost automatically without being distracted from their work. The customers are a different story in this kind of situation because those who are not accustomed to the system may not even be aware that they need to draw out a ticket or feel comfortable about using it.
Then again, most customers feel very comfortable with the take-a-number system and are grateful for the clear order it creates. For that reason alone, a modern electronic system is a good idea because it shows that the management teams is respectful of their clients' needs and are trying to improve their systems. But there are also other reasons why an electronic system is a welcome improvement over the manual system.
First of all, the electronic system also has a prominently displayed counter that everyone can see from the very moment they enter the store, and they can go directly to take a number. In addition, the system takes away the strain from the tellers who merely push a button to indicate that they are ready for the next client.
The system automatically allocates the clients to next free teller and can even spread them out according to their specific needs. That is to say that the system can be programmed in such a way that the client will be asked about the general purpose of his visit and will be automatically routed to the most appropriate teller. And then, if that person should be on a break then the system can compensate and redirect the customer to the next available employee.
More advanced systems also have a recall button so that a client who decides that he does not want to wait will be able to let the system know. Of course, this system implies an investment by the store, but the advantages in customer satisfaction outweigh the costs, and successful entrepreneurs will know how to use it in their advantage.

Some sacred object to pass back and forth is a good idea. I've tried sign-up lists without much success..
This is the final big problem. The red shirts in the rooms are SUPPOSED to be switching from one end of the room to the other, That way while one side is swapping in components, the other is playing a track. I guess I have to write down their responsibilities, and have a discussion before. They are supposed to make sure that after one track, the system on the other side then plays, and to make sure people Swap in different components. Now some systems with active crossovers and such are tougher to swap around, but really it CAN be done, and the system owner might just learn something too..
The red shirt is supposed to indicate people who are supposed to be listened to. Not everyone is comfortable asking people to do stuff. If you aren't that kind of person you really shouldn''t be an in-room redshirt.

I have a full suite of hardware and software for measurement, analysis, data merging/processing, as well as software for using that data to model loudspeaker crossovers. These are all free, so I would be happy to use them as part of a demo/seminar/build session. People could bring drivers in speaker boxes, they could be measured, crossovers designed, and then implemented at the show (well using active DSP crossovers at least). What is interesting is that you can quickly change the crossover design and listen to the results or compare two or more different crossover design using ABX type testing. That might be fun in and of itself. I could also give a presentation of the loudspeaker crossover design process from A-to-Z.
Would anyone be interested in that kind of thing? It might dovetail/complement amp camp nicely.

This was my first Burning Amp. Loved it.
I'd also love to see some kind of "hands on" events going on in that main room. On going workshop or something like that perhaps?
I found it difficult to really listen to many systems. Some of the systems I really wanted to hear never seemed to play. Others were competing in the same room causing me to leave.
Someone mentioned a 10 min rule. How about a dedicated "10 min" room?

As far as I'm concerned we should do this. A very generous offer. Along with the distortion measuring session, and an Amp Camp we have a pretty decent second day! Well first day- you know what I mean!

One problem of a two day show is that local people who drive up from far off places might find a single day convenient as they do not have to stay anywhere and increase expenses. The 'spill off' second day would be OK for people who live nearby and for people who in any case have some accomodation arranged.
One day should be the real show so that 'one dayer's' get to see the key things at the show. Second day could be a 'measurement / hands on' day in addition to listening to equipment. With a one day show , most people will arrange their programs to be able to attend. With two days the visitors who can spare only one day will pick a day and so attendance each day might drop compared to what you have now. Of course it will make it easier for people to listen to the equipment that interests them.
You need to discuss this in depth. It isn't as simple as it looks. Will it be possible to cover expenses with less visitors each day ? You should not increase the entry fee. But it certainly will be a good thing if it is held on two days , if possible.

I think we've solved your concerns with the idea of a second day with seminars/demos, and not the standard day fare, which is the path I have considered in the past, and Amp Camp has made more interesting. Adding a Charlie Laub seminar kind of guarantees the concept will work IMHO.
So yes, the people who can only spare a day or have to drive quite a distance can come to the main day and get the full experience. The days would be totally different, so I don't see one day affecting the other. Also, on the "Seminar Day" we will only be renting one room probably so the costs will be minimal. I agree that people coming a medium distance might not be able to make both days, but people coming a long distance such as yourself would actually probably prefer to have more activities, if, as you say, they have accommodations.
I lowered the entry fees this year to $25 instead of 30 and we squeaked by. Probably better to have the seminar day people pay the costs of the room or two needed for the seminars.
And local people can come to both if they are interested.

Show review
- I like the ideas submitted for a two day event.
Day One Builder Day... Speaker Builders and Amp Builders....
Speaker design, testing crossover design, etc. PCB design, board stuffing etc.
Day Two Lectures and Demonstrations.
We definitely need to obtain a bigger Screen for the lectures.
In our room we did rotate the demos you just had to be quick with the knob.
All in all this was a great show and yes I did notice the entry price was lower. Thanks - jblast

Looks like you might as well work on a 2 day program next time. As things stand , I plan to be there in 2013. I will also want to get to the RMAF which is in the same month and hope there will be a few days gap between the two.
What about the San Francisco Air Show ? Can't miss that too !
As you mentioned I ( and others ) would certainly find a two day program more attractive after traveling all that distance ! Last time I did feel that if possible 'tech talks' should be on a different day as 'listening' to equipment is really a VERY full day affair by itself.
Also, RMAF can drive one completely nuts !

Steamboat Springs Thanks to a former Steamboat Springs resident with a big heart, residents of a local trailer park will hopefully own part of an almost $1 million dollar piece of property by the end of the year.
"We do have a deal and it is signed," said Bob Geer, the realtor whose been working on the deal.
The Regional Affordable Living Foundation is buying the five acres of property along U.S. Highway 40 near the Sheriff's Office as a way to help residents of the Trailer Haven mobile home park. The residents are being forced to leave the property where there trailers sit at Oak and Third streets because it was bought by the Steamboat Springs Health and Recreation Association.
The new property is owned by Denver resident Marsha Klein who was raised in Steamboat Springs.
RALF, the non-profit group dedicated to affordable housing causes, will pay Klein $750,000 for the property. It was originally listed at $995,000.
RALF Executive Director Rob Dick admitted Klein has probably sacrificed a little profit to make the deal work.
"She may have been able to find a cash deal for more money, however she was convinced that this was the right thing to do... to allow us to develop this," Dick said.
Klein could not be reached for comment at her Denver home.
Geer confirmed there was emotion involved in Klein's decision. Klein was raised on the property and shared ownership with her brother, who passed away several years ago.
"Her brother was a builder and did do a fair amount of building for affordable housing," Geer said.
In fact, RALF wants to name the main street in the development after the Klein family.
As for development, RALF has plans to put 24-30 homesites on three of the five acres.
Trailer Haven residents will be given the option to buy or rent the homesites or "pads." Since there are only ten trailers at Trailer Haven, there will be sites to accommodate other trailer owners or people who may want to buy or rent pads from RALF.
"The target is to make sure it doesn't cost the people owning or renting, more than $300/month," Dick said.
The non-profit agency wants to sell the other two acres as commercial property as a way to help fund the cost of the new affordable housing project.
"The commercial portion of the site, which is the front, has the most value," Dick said.
"It's on Highway 40 with lots of visibility."
Dick said the site would also be perfect for a new fire station.
In the meantime, RALF is working on finding low-cost financing to pay for the property as well as to help residents buy individual lots.
But the first big obstacle is taking a development plan through city planning.
Planning Director Wendy Schulenberg said the department hasn't seen a plan yet so it cannot predict a timeline for approval.
That could have been a problem for residents at Trailer Haven since they were suppose to be off their current property by May 1, but that deadline has been extended to August 6.
The recreation center's board president, Stuart Handloff, said the board's attorney advised them to send an eviction notice that gave the trailer residents six months legal notice.
"It (the notice) says that the park is being used for other purposes and that all trailers will be removed by August 6," Handloff said.
"In effect we're extending the deadline."
Handloff said the board's attorney wanted to make sure state statute was strictly abided by when giving the trailer park residents the new eviction notice.
Reaction from the Trailer Haven residents was lukewarm.
"I'm not sure it's still enough time to relocate," said Doug Lockwood, an outspoken resident of Trailer Haven.
"This sounds like 'oh, in order for us to evict you we have to give you a legal eviction notice.'"

Cell Lysis Solutions
Cell lysis using detergents
Detergent cell lysis is a milder and easier alternative to physical disruption of cell membranes, although it is often used in conjunction with homogenization and mechanical grinding. Detergents break the lipid barrier surrounding cells by solubilizing proteins and disrupting lipid:lipid, protein:protein and protein:lipid interactions. Detergents, like lipids, self associate and bind to hydrophobic surfaces. They are comprised of a polar hydrophilic head group and a nonpolar hydrophobic tail and are categorized by the nature of the head group as either ionic (cationic or anionic), nonionic or zwitterionic. Their behavior depends on the properties of the head group and tail.
Unfortunately, there is no standard protocol available for selecting a detergent to use for membrane lysis. In general, nonionic and zwitterionic detergents are milder and less denaturing than ionic detergents and are used to solubilize membrane proteins where it is critical to maintain protein function and/or retain native protein:protein interactions for enzyme assays or immunoassays. CHAPS, a zwitterionic detergent, and the Triton-X series of nonionic detergents are commonly used for these purposes. In contrast, ionic detergents are strong solubilizing agents and tend to denature proteins, thereby destroying protein activity and function.
The choice of detergent for cell lysis also depends on sample type. Animal cells, bacteria and yeast all have differing requirements for optimal lysis due to the presence or absence of a cell wall. Because of the dense and complex nature of animal tissues, they require both detergent and mechanical lysis. In addition to the choice of detergent, other important considerations for optimal cell lysis include the buffer, pH, salt concentration and temperature. Consideration should be given to the compatibility of the chosen detergent with downstream applications. If the detergent used for lysis must be removed, then a dialyzable detergent should be selected.

RIPA buffer is a popular choice for lysis and protein extraction of mammalian cells or soft tissue. Originally named after the assay method for which it was developed (radio-immunoprecipitation assay), RIPA buffer is effective when the immediate downstream application is SDS-PAGE (denaturing polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis). The formulation includes two ionic detergents and one nonionic detergent in Tris buffer: 25mM Tris•HCl, pH 7.6, 150mM NaCl, 1% NP-40, 1% sodium deoxycholate and 0.1% sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS).

When the immediate downstream application for a lysate is a protein affinity purification experiment such as immunoprecipitation (IP) or co-immunoprecipiation (Co-IP), it is especially important to ensure that the lysis reagent does not contain denaturants or components that might interfere with the antibody binding or protein interactions of interest. RIPA buffer, despite its name, is not always the best choice for immunoprecipitation experiments because it contains SDS. Our M-PER Buffer (see next) is one alternative. Another option is to formulate your own lysis buffer or to test alternative commercial solutions to find the one that provides the best balance between extraction yield and IP success. Pierce IP Lysis Buffer was formulated to provide good results for IP overall.
M-PER Mammalian Protein Extraction Reagent was developed as an effective yet milder alternative to RIPA buffer. M-PER Reagent uses a non-denaturing detergent to prepare total cell lysate that is compatible with many downstream assays including immunoassays, enzyme assays and a variety of common reporter assays. Lysis can be performed directly in culture plates and is completed in only 5 minutes. Furthermore, significantly more protein can be obtained with this method compared with freeze/thaw and sonication.

T-PER Tissue Protein Extraction Reagent is designed for total protein extraction from mammalian tissue samples, including heart, liver, kidney and brain. The T-PER Reagent utilizes a non-denaturing detergent in 25mM Bicine, 150mM NaCl, pH 7.6 and is used in conjunction with mechanical or manual homogenization. The resulting cell lysate, like the lysate prepared with M-PER Reagent, is compatible with many functional assays.

The reagent is also suitable for certain Archaebacteria species and cultured insect cells. Extraction does not require expensive equipment and can be performed in less than 10 minutes. B-PER Reagent removes soluble protein from inclusion bodies and can be used to purify intact inclusion bodies whose less soluble proteins can be extracted by other means.
Several different ready-to-use formulations of B-PER Reagent are available for different lysis needs. These include formulations in Tris buffer or PBS, and those with and without Lysozyme and DNase I enzymes. The B-PER Direct Formulation is optimized for direct (homogenous) lysis of cells in 96-well culture plates, facilitating high throughput screening assays.

Y-PER Yeast Protein Extraction Reagents penetrate the tough yeast cell wall, perforating the cell wall and membrane and extracting soluble protein without completely damaging overall cell structure. Traditionally, yeast protein extraction required mechanical disruption with glass beads, making small-scale extraction difficult. Y-PER Reagents provide higher yields and greater flexibility for use in current proteomics workflows.
Two formulations have been developed. Y-PER Reagent is high salt (>300mM) and is effective for S. cerevisiae, S. pombe, C. albicans and P. pastoris (as well as various Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria). Although the detergent is compatible with various downstream methods, it is not dialyzable so cannot be removed in those cases where incompatibility exists. Y-PER Plus Dialyzable Reagent, (Part No. 78999) is a phosphate-free, low-salt formulation with a dialyzable detergent. It is validated for use primarily with S. cerevisiae.

I-PER Insect Cell Protein Extraction Reagent enables gentle extraction of soluble protein from baculovirus-infected insect cells grown in suspension of monolayer culture (both Sf9 and Sf21 cells). The reagent maintains functionality of extracted proteins and is directly compatible with downstream applications such as protein assays, Western blotting and His-tagged protein purification (IMAC).

P-PER Plant Protein Extraction Reagent Kit offers an exclusive innovation for performing plan cell lysis and subsequent protein extraction. Plant cells are notoriously difficult to lyse and extract for proteomics work because their tough cell walls and substantial polysaccharide content. The kit includes an organic lysing reagent and two aqueous reagent which, in conjunction with mild mechanical agitation, effective extract plant protein. The method has been validated for use with multiple plan organs (leaf, stem, root, seed and flowers); multiple plant species (Arabidopsis, tobacco, maize, soybeans, peas, rice and spinach); and fresh, frozen and dehydrated tissue sources.

Billboard's Top 200 all-genre album chart began in 1956. Since then only ten female country artists have ever held down the chart's #1 spot.
Make it eleven. According to Nielson SoundScan, in it's first week, Miranda Lambert's Platinum sold 179 000 units, becoming Miranda's biggest sales week ever and pushing Platinum to the #1 spot on Billboard's Top 200 Albums.
As such, Platinum also holds down the #1 Country Album this week, knocking Brantley Gilbert's Just As I Am from the top spot. When Miranda goes to sleep tonight she'll likely have #1's dancing around in her dreams, as "Automatic" is also the Top Country Song for the week.
Platinum, released June 3rd, is the fifth studio album from Miranda and becomes her fifth straight #1 album on the country charts. "Automatic" became Miranda's fourth #1 single(not counting "We Were Us" with Keith Urban.)
You can read more on the big news for Miranda on here website and while your at it, check out the video for "Automatic" below!

|How to Wait on God With Intense Focus and Passion
If I want to hunt deer, I won't set up an ambush on Wall Street in New York City or in the middle of the Pacific Ocean. To set up an ambush with any measure of success I must do so in areas where deer frequent. But many do not realize that the same is true of waiting on God. There are many who need a miracle, but they won't go across town to a church where miracles are common. We play a mental game of pride when we refuse to humble ourselves and go to lie in wait in the places that God frequents.
Now, please don't stumble over the concept of ambushing God as though it violates His sovereignty—He is the One who has promised to be found by us if we seek Him with all of our hearts. And He is the One who said He would make Himself conspicuous as we pursue Him. This is His idea. It is our test to see if we believe Him enough to look eagerly for him. God is looking for someone who will get out of his or her routine and set up an ambush.
Some people get really upset when they see believers traveling all over the world because those believers have heard that God is doing something significant in a particular place. Their reasoning: "God is everywhere. Seek Him where you are, and He will come to you."
Similarly, preachers with little breakthrough anointing will say, "You're not supposed to follow signs. They are supposed to follow you! " That looks good on paper and carries a measure of truth. read more

A new video has appeared and like all of the other Motorola DROID BIONIC videos that have recently been made available, we see the UI in action. This video, which appears to have been taken in a Verizon strore, also compares the DROID BIONIC with the Motorola DROID X2. For those who can't understand the excitement over this handset, it is the carrier's first dual-core LTE enabled phone. And now, as the clock ticks toward zero, we have received word from a tipster who claims to be a Verizon employee. This anonymous source tells us that Big Red locations have received their inventory of the device and that his store signed in 15 units. Sounds like we could see a sell out rather quickly.
The long wait is almost over and the Motorola DROID BIONIC will soon be officially released. And then the clock will start all over again as Verizon customers start their vigil for the Samsung DROID Prime.

Director of football Damien Comolli recently stated that specific player statistics will be guiding Liverpool's transfer policies. The Frenchman specifically stated that the general health of players will be a paramount focus of future scouting and transfers. Talking about his most recent target, Blaise Matuidi, Comolli had this to say:
"I looked at his stats over the last three years – especially the number of matches played. We are going in the right direction of players who don't get injured. We are going to take more and more account of the health of a player in the future. It costs so much having players who don't play.
"With Luis, we took account of the number of decisive passes, his performances against the big teams, against the little ones, in Europe, the difference between his goals scored at home and away."
This emphasis on statistics has aided certainly Comolli in the past. During his tenure at Tottenham, Comolli masterminded the transfers of such key players as Luka Modric, Gareth Bale, and Alan Hutton. It is already well known that Comolli was a very active agent in the transfers of Luis Suarez and Andy Carroll; his future involvement will be inevitable. The rumor mill is rife with Liverpool transfer speculation, and it is fair to assume there will be a fair number of large transfers this summer. This emphasis on the statistical contributions and health of players should ensure an influx of consistent, talented performers.
I for one would not mind seeing a few players of Gareth Bale's talent making Anfield home.

Orton, Thunder Teammates Visit Rosary School
On Tuesday, the Rosary School in Oklahoma City welcomed Thunder forward Daniel Orton back within the school doors for a very special Thunder Fit Clinic, presented by Homeland. Orton, who spent his sixth, seventh and eighth grade years playing on Rosary's basketball teams, got to see an old class photo, basketball trophies and his former teachers while visiting with the current students.
"It brought back a lot of memories," Orton said. "It's good to come back. As a kid, when I was here, we didn't have an NBA program. You saw guys like us on television, but to see them in real life, (would have been) something special. It gives kids something to dream for. Whether it is the NBA, a doctor, a lawyer or whatever, it gives the kids something to dream for and go home and talk to their parents about."
Orton was joined in the Fit Clinic by teammates Perry Jones, Jeremy Lamb and DeAndre Liggins, and all four took part in the multiple stations set up to help the students learn about proper health, fitness and of course, basketball. Lamb studied over the nutrition station with the students while Jones hosted his seemingly customary two-on-one basketball session. Orton and Liggins led layup lines and worked with kids in the exercise station. Throughout the afternoon, the Rosary School students came away with important lessons that could go far at the middle school level.
"It's just great (for them) to learn small things," Orton said. "If they don't learn but two things today here, that's huge and we did our job."
Karen Lynn, the school principal, said her sixth, seventh and eighth graders were treated to a surprise when the Thunder players walked in with the extra special treat being that one of their own alumnae was in the group. Orton visited with his former teachers who were so thankful that Orton can serve as a role model to future Rosary School generations.
"The teachers are excited because Daniel Orton was in their class, sixth, seventh and eighth, so they're having a great time," Lynn said. "They're very proud of him. Everyone loves the Thunder so much. We're so excited that the team is here in Oklahoma. Just to have one of our own players to even to be able to reach that level in life is just such a wonderful example for the students to know that they can dream and they can work for it."
The Rosary School began operating in 1927 and in 1944 in its current building. It is the only Catholic school in Oklahoma City to win the National Blue Ribbon Award, and the school serves as a feeder to Bishop McGuinness, where Orton went to high school. That connection means that the people Orton became close with during his years at Rosary continued to be a part of his life – even his teachers who helped mold him as early as middle school.
"Going here, it's a good school, (it was) a great learning experience for me," Orton said. "The friends that I made here are like family to me. It's a one-of-a-kind school. (The teachers) love me and I love them also. We had a great relationship when I was here."
Fit Clinics like the one at the Rosary School are one of the many ways the Thunder likes to give back throughout the season. Particularly during the next month, through the Thunder's Holiday Assist program, the organization will be making an extra effort to get out into the Oklahoma City community. For the Thunder players and coaching staff, the Oklahomans who have embraced the organization for the last five years are extremely important, especially to an Oklahoma City native like Orton.
"I feel like Oklahoma, the community itself and the people, the way they are, they deserve everything," Orton said. "It's a huge part of giving back to Oklahoma City itself. The way the Thunder has come in here, the fans have really adopted them and clung to them. They consider the Thunder a huge representation of Oklahoma itself."

Statement from DCCC Chairman Steve Israel On Alex Sink's Decision To Run For Congress
Representative Steve Israel, Chairman of the Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee, issued the following statement about former Florida Chief Financial Officer Alex Sink announcing her campaign to represent Florida's 13th Congressional District:
"Alex Sink's results-oriented approach, business background and deep commitment to solving problems would help change the way Washington does business so that we can work together on creating jobs. As a business leader and Florida's Chief Financial Officer, Alex Sink has shown she's a problem solver with a record of working with Democrats and Republicans to get results, grow our economy and help businesses create jobs – exactly the values and skills which are so missing from the dysfunctional Congress in Washington."

|Topic Review (Newest First)
Quick update...I'll be updating my tank log with anything further. Picked up the equipment from my friend, and there is a ton of stuff. The filter unfortunately looks like it's 50% the capacity I need (GPH-wise), so might be doing a sump setup (I know, 30G doesn't really benefit from a sump). I have a sufficient pump, just no appropriate filtration method.
The MTS is in the initial rinse cycle, so hopefully more updates in the next week or so.
Anyways, thanks for the input!
sunyang730 - Sorry, I was not clear, I have multiple tanks, so will breed the shrimp in a non-fish tank. As Hoppy mentioned, the plants I'll be starting won't require DSM.
raven_wilde - Interesting that both the species you mentioned are originally from Myanmar - but it did say they like soft water - pretty sure we have hard water around here.
exv152 - Thanks for the clarification on what heavily planted means. Regarding ferts, the logs I've read indicate that a low-light, non-CO2, MTS substrated tank won't require any ferts beyond potassium once in a while. Maybe with non-MTS you require ferts?
I went out to pick stuff up today. Clay, check. Dirt, check. Potash/dolomite, check, arrived in the mail today (thanks Nilocg!). However, the blasting grit I picked up was the wrong kind, so had to return it. This weekend, if time permits, I will start the MTS process.
I also stopped by Big Al's with my shopping list...and decided I'll have to source plants from local growers - the prices were 4x or more what I've seen online! Yeek.
They also did not have any RCS. Hm.
Hopefully I can find enough local growers to supply plants and shrimpies.
As far as how many plants to plant, I'd suggest planting heavily at first. I wouldn't be too concerned about exactly how many plants to get, just make sure you've filled the tank well. This will help with algae, especially if you use some fast growing stem plants like hoppy suggested - hygrophila especially.
One other item you've missed is fertilizers. With a non co2 setup you'll probably just need a good micro nutrient like seachem flourish comprehensive. And I'd dose once every week to two weeks.
Have you thought of keeping a species of microrasbora or some Celestial Pearl Danios? I keep schools of them in my 30 gal and their small size makes the tank look GIGANTIC.
Also they will pretty much leave your cherry shrimp babies alone because their mouths are so small... heck, if everyone is happy enough you can pretty much have self sustaining breeding colonies of both fish and shrimp.
You might not want to have fish in there if you are breeding shrimp. I will suggest Fluval shrimp substrate. Never use the black diamond before, but I got good experience with Fluval Shrimp substrate growing HC. LOL I won't recommend DSM. Personally I just hate them. They give you white stuff and plant might melt alway after you flood it. So if you have a good substrate to hold it down, then just flood it and let it cycle.
Hope this helps.
Cool, so my plan of having one tank dedicated for shrimp breeding was not a flawed one (it will sit on my desk). I'll still keep the cherries in the main tank, but now I know not to expect population growth.
Yeah I'd read that superglue is okay. I'll pick some up if the black cotton thread we already have doesn't work. (wife's sewing kit)
Dave-h, I still want to go MTS as a long-term solution. And I may decide to add different plants down the road that require better substrate. Besides, the hard-to-find ingredients for MTS are already on the way!
Picking up the blasting media, clay, and dirt today, as well as going to my LFS(s?) and asking about sourcing the fish/plants/shrimp.
Thanks for all the input guys, very excited! I will update my tank thingy as stuff happens.

Just to reiterate/expand on what CatB said, have a look at this thread which is about what fish and shrimp go together. None really, apart from ottos.
I got my first red cherries a month ago and they are awesome, always up to something and fascinating to watch, they love algae too.
Oh and in case you didn't know, you can superglue your moss onto the wood. IME it's much easier and makes your moss go further. Just make sure the superglue ingredients contains cyanoacrylate and it will be safe for your aquarium.
All the best with your new set up
|I'm not sure you'll need MTS or DSM at all with those plants! If you want to grow the plants you mentioned, and are going for a low light low tech setup, they will probably grow just fine on their own!
|MTS is primarily a substrate that provides nutrients to the plants by way of their roots. That suggests that plants that are started with the roots in the substrate might be desirable for your tank. Java ferns do send roots down around whatever they start growing on, into the substrate, as does Anubias nana, so they take advantage of the MTS too. So, the real advantages of Ludwigia or Hydrophila is their rapid growth, and how nice they look. Another similar plant family is Rotala - not all varieties but many of them. This may be just my prejudice working because I like those plants.
- Okay, that's what I had thought, but wasn't sure.
- Yeah, I had read that 1" was fine if doing DSM (more time to off-gas), I will reconsider.
- Thanks for the warning on Amazons. The only reason I chose these plants: hardiness
- Haha, maybe someone on the GTA Aquarium forum has a PAR meter, but definitely something I've considered.
- Hm, I thought CO2 was only a benefit to plants, and if anything, a detriment to fish?
I am still left with the question of what 'heavily planted' means practically-speaking, but I think I've come up with a workaround...I will have a spare tank (10G), so will do MTS and then whatever plants are leftover from the 30 will go into that, and then I can supplement as needed.
Knowing that my two main plant choices are rhizome-based, should I reconsider something that plants direct into the substrate?
|Very good points Hoppy. Totally missed the plant choices <> DSM. Sorry.
I wouldn't do a dry start with those plants. The primary reason for doing a dry start is the difficulty in planting and keeping planted the very tiny plantlets involved with HC, glosso, and other carpet plants. None of the plants you mention are hard to start in water.
I would try for about a half inch of MTS, rather than one inch. I think you will have fewer problems with gas bubbles in the substrate with the thinner layer. 2-2 1/2 inches of substrate is enough anyway.
I would not use Amazon swords at all in that size tank. They will quickly grow to completely fill the whole tank if you have adequate light and fertilizing. Then they are a chore to remove because of their massive root system. Instead I would try some Ludwigias or Hygrophilas, because they grow fast and look great in a low light tank.
Starting with low light is much better than trying to use high light - the plants you mention are low light plants too. This greatly reduces the algae problems you will face, and it lets everything happen much slower, so you have time to correct any problems before they become really big problems. Look at the charts in the first post in http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=184368 and try for a light that will give you 20-30 micromols of PAR at the distance you will have from the substrate to the light.
Last, to make this more fun, and to give you big rewards in how well the fish do, start a DIY CO2 system like this: http://www.plantedtank.net/forums/sh...d.php?t=178503
Well, I suppose eating the shrimp that reproduce easily is better than the plants that need more work. Thanks for the heads-up.
I still need to figure out my water pH/hardness levels before I make the final decision on fish. I had really wanted a nice school of neon tetras, but they max out around pH7.0-7.5, so probably won't work.
Besides the other fish I mentioned, any suggestions for first-time fish to live with RCS? I like blue. (already thought of the blue rainbowfish - tank's too small)

CatB, yes, I recall seeing that on dustinsfishtanks' YouTube channel, good reminder, though! Didn't know about Java fern, thanks.
Are three species enough, or should I be looking at 5-6 different plant species?

Oct. 17, 2008
Tennessee cross country ace Sarah Bowman shaved four seconds off her SEC-leading 6,000-meter season best to chart a fifth-place individual performance out of a field of 300 runners and pace the Lady Vols to an identical team finish Friday morning at the Penn State National.
Running on the Nittany Lions' Blue and White Golf Course on a cold, gray autumn day, Bowman cranked out a time of 20 minutes, 24 seconds to card her second straight fifth-place effort at the meet. The senior from Warrenton, Va., now has posted nine top-five performances in her collegiate career and has led UT to the finish chute on 12 occasions, including 10 of her past 12 races.
"Sarah is just getting into a rhythm now (after taking some time off after the Olympic Trials this summer), and she is getting stronger and stronger," UT Head Coach J.J. Clark said. "She put forth another good effort today and continues to be very consistent. As a coach, that's what you are looking for."
The three-time All-SEC honoree enabled Clark's club to post its best result at the meet since taking third in 2005 and extend its season won-lost record to 71-11. The Big Orange women, who are ranked fourth in the South Region and received votes in the most recent USTFCCCA National Poll, tallied 162 points to finish behind No. 7 West Virginia (40), No. 20 Penn State (83), No. 25 Wake Forest (136) and No. 28 Duke (154) in the field of 28 squads. The Lady Vols managed to come out five points ahead of SEC foe Kentucky and out-distance the rest of the field.
"Overall, this was our best effort of the season," Clark said. "Compared to this time last year on the same course, everyone performed better. As a whole, they are showing improvement every meet, and that's what a coach is asking for from his group.
"The team has been training well and running hard. Obviously, we just need some help in the middle of the pack to get closer to Sarah. I can't complain a bit about the effort everyone gave, and I believe we'll see even better efforts from them as we head into the SEC and NCAA Regional meets in the coming weeks."
Aiding Bowman for Team Orange were junior Jackie Areson (Delray Beach, Fla.) and sophomore Brittany Sheffey (Bellport, N.Y.), who ran in the No. 2 and No. 3 positions for their team for the second straight meet. Areson produced a readout of 21:22 to finish 31st, while Sheffey covered the course in 21:27 to cross the line in 37th position. Both improved upon the times they ran on the course a year ago, with Sheffey bettering her old mark by nearly a full minute.
Closing out the scoring for Tennessee were senior Rolanda Bell (Laurelton, N.Y.), who ran fourth for her team and 46th overall in a season-best 21:45, and junior Phoebe Wright (Signal Mountain, Tenn.), who was three seconds off her PR in 21:46 to finish right behind Bell in 47th place.
Four other Lady Vols ran but did not score. In that group were freshman Ally Colvin (Maryville, Tenn.), who was 111th in 22:48, freshman Elizabeth Altizer (Bartlett, Tenn.), who was 136th in 23:06, senior Leah Soro (Knoxville, Tenn.), who was 197th in 23:54, and freshman Elizabeth Tiller (Tuscaloosa, Ala.), who was 271st in 25:17.
Tennessee is off the weekend of Oct. 25, as the team prepares for the SEC Championships on Nov. 3. This year's conference meet will be held in Starkville, Miss., on the Mississippi State University Cross Country Course. Race time is slated for 10 a.m. Central.
