For the past several months, we've been hard at work making sure that Firefall will be ready for this month's launch. Along the way, we've also been listening to your feedback in response to our Path to Launch blogs, as well as feedback and data we've gathered from our closed Delta testing. Based on what we've heard and what we've learned, we've made a couple of adjustments to things we announced in some of the earlier Path to Launch blogs.
Module Slots
Previously Mentioned Plan
In Path to Launch #1, we said that common (white) items had no module slots, while uncommon (green) have one, rare (blue) have two, and epic/legendary (purple/orange) have three.
New Plan
We have decided to give common items one module slot, while also giving one more to uncommon and rare items. So for clarity, the updated information is common items have one module slot, uncommon items have two, and rare, epic, and legendary items all have three.
Previously Mentioned Plan
In Path to Launch #2, we discussed the changes we were making to our professions system in which any player could create common items of any type, but would need to choose a specific profession to be able to craft any higher rarity items that fall under that profession.
New Plan
This is a topic that we have received a huge amount of feedback about and has been the subject of many internal discussions. After taking everything into consideration, we have decided to remove professions from Firefall completely. There will still be several specializations in the research screen, but all players will have unrestricted access to all of them. This means that any player will be able to craft any item in the game, restricted only by what they have researched.
Item Migration
We have made a forum post with information on how all existing items will be migrated into the new system. Please have a look at that thread here.
In case you have missed any of the Path to Launch blogs, here is a list of links to all 6:
Path to Launch Blog #1: Progression and Itemization
Path to Launch Blog #2: Resources, Crafting, Professions, and more
Path to Launch Blog #3: ARES Job Boards
Path to Launch Blog #4: Campaign Difficulty, VIP Program, and Login Rewards
Path to Launch Blog #5: Sertao and Devil's Tusk
Path to Launch Blog #6: Introducing Credits

can someone tell me how many blocks i would need for a 35x30 building and its gonna be 15ft high. imput greatly appreciated!
2200 8x16s
how do u calculate this?
math works everytime...you can go the long way...wall length X height = square feet, then the .88 sq/ft/per block.....- windows, doors, FO's, and allow for corners.
im having a 9x10 garage door and a regular walk-through door? how would i calculate that?
Knock off 90 for the garage door and 20 for the entry.
49 sticks of vertical rebar 32" OC in filled stretchers, filled corners.
I'd start with 100 bags of 50lb morter and figure my use for a second delivery.
Because your headed up 15 feet, it might not be a bad idea to use block wire.
so that would be 2090 thanx :) and by the way i got my floor poured for my garage yesterday i gotta give it time to set and it was pretty warm last nite lol it should be ready to set blocks on by tomorrow or tuesday
You'll also need to add more blocks if the 15 feet height you mention is the finished height above grade.
Remember that you need 6 more courses or more below grade depending on frost depth or whether there will be a basement below the structure.
nah this just 1 story no basement and the floor is 6inches thick so its good and strong to hold it...
A 6" slab is inadequate as a footer in most locations for a block structure of this sort, especially if you live in a high seismic zone and are subject to freezing.
What state? What County?
haha kentucky, usa; and 6inches is adequate enough to hold my truck so well its to late to change anything because i already started blocking it i got about 5 feet of block on it now so
ive got it all blocked now ive worked day and night now i just gotta wait 4 weeks for my garage door and entry door, lowes doesnt carry 9x10 heres so they had to order it.
So how many blocks did you use? Show us some pics.
Too Bad
It is a code violation to not install proper footings in Ketucky.
Kentucky uses the International Residential Code 2003 statewide.
Without proper footings installed below frost level, this building will remain unstable.

Two distinct weathermakers are on the map and taking aim at Minnesota.
The first one is already here, with a mixed bag of generally light rain and snow showers. A weak low pressure system is squeezing out lighter precip amounts today/tonight.
Low pressure "trof" moving east today. (Click all images to enlarge)
It looks like precip totals will be around or under .25″ by Friday in most areas.
Morning Twin Cities radar loop shows spotty rian snow mix.
-Current Twin Cities radar loop here.
With temperatures hovering around or above freezing from the ground to around 5,000 feet above ground today, expect a rain snow mix that could trend toward all snow tonight. With temps above freezing at ground level, it will be difficult for any snow that does fall to accumulate much more than a slushy coating.
NAM snowfall: Slushy coating north?
Friday & Saturday: Sun returns
Look for the sun to make a return by Friday afternoon in most areas. Saturday looks downright nice, with plenty of sun and highs pushing 50 Saturday afternoon.
Potent storm Sunday & Monday:
The next "big" weathermaker moves into the Upper Midwest Sunday.
A strong hybrid late winter-early spring low pressure system will track eastward out of the Rockies toward the Upper Midwest Sunday. It appears a band of precip will push north into SW Minnesota Sunday morning, and overrun the state Sunday.
GFS places surface low in Kansas and pushes heavy precip into Minnesota Sunday.
As I sift through model data this morning to try and see what's credible, It looks to this forecaster right now like enough mild air will push north that the system will produce mostly rain from the metro south Sunday. Rain could be moderate to heavy at times…and there are indications that rainfall totals could exceed .50″ to 1+" in some areas of southern Minnesota Sunday.
Over an inch of liquid precip (some as snow) Sunday & Monday?
It appears cold enough for a transition to mostly snow just north of the metro and toward Fargo, Brainerd & Duluth Sunday. The snow could be heavy in central & northern Minnesota. At this time the heavy snow axis seems to be focused on and north of a Fargo-Brainerd-Duluth line.
The GFS is cranking out some impressive (downright scary?) early snowfall numbers for Brainerd (20.2″) & Duluth (19.6″).
GFS: Some big numbers for Brainerd!
As the system moves by and cold air is drawn south Monday, it appears rain will change to snow statewide, including the greater Twin Cities metro. The snow could be heavy, and wind driven Monday.
Changeable forecast?
The Sunday-Monday system looks good (or bad) on paper at this point. I'd say there is a better than 50% chance we're going to get a potent storm. But keep in mind that the error margin 4 to5 days out for Midwest surface lows can often exceed the width of the heavy snow band.
Translation? A shift of 50 to 100 miles in the track of the surface low track or thermal profile of the storm can change rain to snow…and push the potential heavy snow band north or south in a hurry.
**There is some model data suggesting that the metro could fall within the heavy snow band Sunday & Monday. At this time, it is just too early to say with any credibility exactly where the heavy snow will fall, and who will get mostly rain Sunday.**
The storm system is well out over the north Pacific today, and will not enter the USA upper air (weather baloon) grid until Saturday. When it moves over the USA, the denser observation newtork may get a better handle on track & thermal profile.
Bottom line: There is the potential for a major hybrid winter/spring storm Sunday & Monday in the eastern Dakotas, Minnesota & Wisconsin. Plan accordingly.
Stay tuned for changes and updates as we get new model runs in the next few days.

Yeah, they might be. It's too early to tell and anointing them "clearly good" simply because they beat your home team (not literally yours, mind you) is either ludicrous, arrogant or both.

The Republican Party has a big financial advantage heading into the 2014 election, thanks in large part to the growing presence of conservative outside groups.
But just looking at raw dollars spent by these groups misses a key point: A huge chunk of that money is being used to tear down fellow Republicans.
According to a great new study from the Center for Public Integrity's Dave Levinthal, conservative super PACs and other outside groups this year have spent nearly three times as much money directly attacking fellow Republicans ($9.7 million) as directly attacking Democrats ($3.7 million).
That $9.7 million is also about 150 times as much as Democratic groups have spent attacking Democratic candidates ($67,000).
Here's where things get even more interesting: If you take it a step further and combine all spending by conservative and liberal outside groups, a majority of the money spent by these kinds of groups expressly for or against a candidate -- 53.8 percent -- has been used to attack Republicans ($9.7 million from conservative groups and $13.8 million from liberal groups), while a measly 8.5 percent has been used to attack Democrats.
The GOP is spending 64 percent of all the money used on ads for or against candidates this year, but its candidates are bearing the brunt of more than six times as many attacks ads as Democrats.
Here's how that looks:
A few caveats:
One is that this picture will change considerably as the election year progresses. A big reason Republicans are attacking other Republicans right now is because it's primary season, and there are a ton of competitive GOP primaries. Democrats don't have nearly as many -- partially because they don't have as many seats to target and partially because their party is better at avoiding tough primaries altogether.
And secondly, it should be stressed that this is not the complete picture of outside spending. It does not include money spent by nonprofit groups, such as the Koch brothers-aligned Americans for Prosperity, since these ads are technically "issue ads" that don't expressly tell people to vote for or against a candidate (even as the message is pretty clear in a lot of them).
If you were to include those numbers, which are much harder/impossible to quantify because they don't have to be reported, the percentage of money spent attacking Democrats would increase exponentially.
But it's quite instructive to look at how lopsided that data that we can quantify is. The $43.8 million spent above is a huge chunk of the money spent so far on the 2014 election, and Republicans continue to be unable to resist the urge to spend it tearing down one another rather than going after Democrats.
(It's actually pretty par-for-course, though. As our own Matea Gold and Dan Keating wrote earlier this year, outside spending on GOP primaries ballooned in 2012 in a way that spending on Democratic primaries did not. GOP groups wound up spending $24.5 million on their Senate primaries, while Democrats spent just $4.7 million.)
The GOP remains a party that has botched several quite winnable Senate races in recent years after nominating flawed candidates who emerged from arduous and expensive GOP primaries. This is a big reason why.
It's also a big reason why the Republican Party brand remains in significantly worse shape than the Democratic brand.

I had a nose job to remove a small hump on my nose. the surgery was performed on june 11, 2011 and after one month of the surgery I still had the bruising under my both eyes. so the doctor suggested to use the under eye injection "lighteye" So I had they shoots but still the raccoon eye still persistent, the black color is not gone. I am really getting depressed about my look. even cosmetics can't cover it completely. please help!!!! :(
What Can I Do About Raccoon Eyes 2 Months Post-Nose Job?
Doctor Answers 4
Raccoon eyes after rhinoplasty
Most raccoon eyes resolve after 6-12 months.
How is your breathing? Sinuses clear? When the color fails to resolve after 6 months or more you might have what we call "congestive shiners" due to blockage of venous draining. A decongesting regimen may be needed.
Raccoon eyes
Prolonged discoloration from bruising after rhinoplasty is very frustrating. Try to keep your spirits up, it will eventually disappear.
Web reference: http://www.palmbeachface.com/rhinoplasty.html
Dark circles
The bruising from the procedure leaves hemosiderin pigment behind. The longest i have ever seen this last is six months.

Racoon eyes 2 months after Rhinoplasty, now what?
Persistent tissue disoloration after Rhinoplasty is from hemosiderin prigment deposited in the skin from the post-op brusiing. This typically disolves over time but in rare cases is permanent. Go back to the Rhinoplasty surgeon for evaluation and treatment options.

After editing the camp film, and sorting through tens of thousands of pictures taken during camp, we held a party for campers at the ZM day center in Jerusalem.
Various amazing workshops and activities took place: jewelry, cake decorating, tattoos, makeup, mani pedi, graphology, self-made sushi, crepes by choice, personal toasts, shakes and more.
For the younger guest there were jumping castles, popcorn cotton-candy, slushies and treats.
The camp film trailer was shown to great excitement.
Everyone got to take home the movie, the disc with their pictures and an invitation to summer camp!

US Hard Power in the Arab World (Routledge Studies in Middle Eastern Democratization and Government)
- Resistance, the Syrian Uprising and the War on Terror
(E-bog, ePub)
Beskrivelse: Neither stability nor change in the post-colonial Arab world can be fully understood without considering the international context, and American Foreign policy in pa... Læs mere rticular. However, the exact nature of America's presence in the Arab world, and the scope and modes of its influence, all appear to have reached a crossroads since the Arab uprisings. 'US Hard Power in the Arab World' traces the US's 'power of persuasion' in the Arab Middle East from the onset of the War on Terror in 2001 through to the Arab Spring. With a particular focus on Syria, the book explores the limits of an American 'smart power' amid the emergence of a growing indigenous 'soft power' whose ire is directed not only at Assad's regime, but also at the violence perpetrated or enabled by the international community, headed by the US. It is argued that the blurring of the two forms of 'soft' and 'hard' American power has tarnished the credibility of US policies geared to win hearts and minds in the Arab world.'US Hard Power in the Arab World' narrates the contests between attraction and intimidation, public diplomacy and military occupation, elites and publics, seduction and resistance. Drawing upon a multitude of primary sources, including personal interviews with Syrian activists and opposition figures, this book will be a valuable resource for students and scholars of Middle East Politics, as well as those concerned with American Foreign Policy and the Arab Spring.

Kudos to you but waaaaaaaaay too much work for me :mrgreen:Originally Posted by barnbum
Welcome to the Quilting Board!
Kudos to you but waaaaaaaaay too much work for me :mrgreen:Originally Posted by barnbum
I always prewash. The first quilt my DIL made was flannel, when she washed it all the seams pulled apart and it was ruined. I wash flannel in warm water and use 3/8 to 1/2" seams. One of my studens washed a finished quilt that she had made for a friend to sell. The colors ran and almost reuined the quilt. She was able to get it to a softer color and the lady paying was happy with it. It is a very good idea to give color cathers with every quilt you give way.
To hand agitate the fabric is an excellent suggestion - that way one avoids any "roughing up" of the fabric - and still can take care of any shrinkage that might occur.Originally Posted by barnbum
And, yes, shrinkage does occur. I can tell from when I was still using tepid water - some of the lengths are now only 35 inches (from the LQS that measured closely) and I KNOW I purchased a full yard.
For the first pass on fabrics, I try to put only lights with lights. For the dark colors I only put the same colors together. In case one of them has bad manners, I can work some more with it to see if I can get the excess dye off/out of it.
I've decided that if I can't get a fabric to stop "bleeding" dye after several run-throughs, the proper place for it is either to be returned or put in the trash.
For "to be used quilts" - especially a child's quilt - I just assume the person doing the laundry is just going to toss it in the wash and hope for the best. I would guess that most young mothers would not even think of dye catchers or anything else like that after the blankie has been puked on. They just want it to be clean again.
The idea of sending a dye catcher along with a quilt is a good idea - but I think having no dye floating around is an even better idea. But there might be other articles in the wash that have bad manners.
It still comes down to personal preference. I've had just enough experience with shrinkage and dye running/bleeding to be into prevention.
What is a color catcher?
It's like a dryer sheet, except it goes in the washer. They are sold everywhere in the laundry dept.
[i]Originally Posted by bearisgray
Excellent points, especially about fabrics that continue to bleed after being washed several times. So far all the quilts I've made have been given away, and I don't assume that they will get any "special" treatment once they're in their new home. You can always tell someone that it needs to be washed in a special way, but I don't doubt someone in a hurry or just plain forgetful will wash it with other items.
I always always prewash not only for dyes but there a lot of chemicals used which really dulls the machine needles and I just don't like using it until it is washed then use fabric stabelizer works for me
what's a color catcher. I understand the theory, so name a brand or some other way I'll be able to ask for it.
What a mess. I thought all my fabrics were washed and I made a ginger jar our of Japanese prints and the dark ones ran... :(
Color catcher is an item you can buy in your supermarket, wal-mart or what ever. There are color ones and Woolite makes a Dye Magnet that is like a dryer sheet. There are 20 of these in a box. I think it is well worth the money. Throw that in with your faric when you wash it and you will be surprized about what it picks up. I also have a cloth one I got someplace. But I really like the hot water in a clear glass and a small square in of the fabric in it.

Death of Delhi braveheart stirs anger, promises of action
The braveheart's death prompted promises of action from a government that has struggled to respond to public outrage.
New Delhi: The 23-year-old paramedic student whose gangrape provoked protests and rare national debate about violence against women in India died from her injuries on Saturday, prompting promises of action from a government that has struggled to respond to public outrage. The braveheart suffered a brain injury and massive internal damage in the December 16 attack and died in hospital in Singapore where she had been taken for treatment.
Protesters rallied peacefully in the national capital and other cities across the country to keep the pressure on Prime Minister Manmohan Singh's government to get tougher on crimes against women. That was in contrast to the pitched battles protesters fought with police last weekend.
Authorities, worried about the reaction to the news of her death, deployed thousands of policemen, closed 10 metro stations and banned vehicles from some main roads in the heart of New Delhi, where demonstrators converged since the attack to demand improved women's rights.
Despite efforts to cordon off the city centre, more than 1,000 people gathered at two locations. Some protesters shouted for justice while others for the death penalty for the rapists.
Most sex crimes in India go unreported, many offenders go unpunished, and the wheels of justice turn slowly, according to social activists who say that successive governments have done little to ensure the safety of women.
Political leaders vowed steps to correct "shameful social attitudes" towards women in the world's biggest democracy.
"The need of the hour is a dispassionate debate and inquiry into the critical changes that are required in societal attitudes," Prime Minister Manmohan Singh said in a statement.
"I hope that the entire political class and civil society will set aside narrow sectional interests and agenda to help us all reach the end that we all desire - making India a demonstrably better and safer place for women to live in."
The woman, beaten, raped and thrown out of a moving bus, had been flown to Singapore in a critical condition by the Indian government on Thursday.
"She was courageous in fighting for her life for so long against the odds but the trauma to her body was too severe for her to overcome," Kelvin Loh, chief executive officer of the Mount Elizabeth Hospital in Singapore said in a statement announcing her death from multiple organ failure.
Meanwhile, hundreds of protesters took to the streets in Lucknow. In Hyderabad, a group of women marched to demand severe punishment for the rapists. Protests were also held in the cities of Chennai, Kolkata and Mumbai.
"For some reason, and I don't really know why, she got through to us," well-known columnist Nilanjana Roy wrote in a blog on Saturday.
"Our words shriveled in the face of what she'd been subjected to by the six men travelling on that bus, who spent an hour torturing and raping her, savagely beating up her male friend."
Sonia Gandhi, the powerful leader of the ruling Congress party, directly addressed the protesters in a rare broadcast on state television, saying that as a mother and a woman she understood their grievances.
"Your voice has been heard," Gandhi said. "It deepens our determination to battle the pervasive and the shameful social attitudes that allow men to rape and molest women with such impunity."

Scenes from Hartford, Connecticut after the historic snow storm Blizzard Charlotte (also known as Nemo) blanketed New England in record amounts of snow.
While the snow began falling early on Friday February 8th, the heaviest snowfall and strongest winds really got going in the evening, with hourly snowfall of over 5 inches in some places throughout the night. By morning, a deep blanket of light, fluffy, beautiful snow had covered everything in sight.

Is global warming insurable? A comparative analysis
€ 44,99
Sofort lieferbar
Februar 2015
BeschreibungDiploma Thesis from the year 2010 in the subject Sociology - Miscellaneous, Bielefeld University, language: English, abstract: The institution of insurance as it is known today has been largely neglected by sociologists, even though it is the central institution, alongside government, responsible for risk management (Ericson et al 2003: 44). A central focus of risk management is the protection of society from damage caused by natural hazards. This thesis aims to frame insurance and other institutions involved with risk management into a particular viewpoint of social problems.
Natural hazards constitute the largest shore of the market for insurance while at the same time pose the largest challenge for the institution. One may question why this is so. Well into the 21st century anthropogenic climate change or global warming is no longer merely a theory, it has become reality. International reinsurers, scientists and politicians agree that anthropogenic CO2 and other gases are increasing the temperature on earth. Consequentially natural hazards are increasing in frequency and impact (Munich Re 2009). This poses problems for societies dealing with impacts from natural hazards. Much research has been done on individual behavior in deciding whether or not to insure against natural hazards (Kunreuther 2004; Kerjan 2008a; Grace 2006).
This line of research views individual as myopic in assessing risk, thereby underestimating risk and the relevance of insurance. The emphasis of this research is mostly on the irrationality of individuals as regards the benefits of insurance. This perspective fails to take into account the influence of societal institutions on individual decisions; for example, whether or not to insure against disasters. Theoretical exercises in this direction are common, whereas attempts to consider the environment of a specific risk management system are rare. Michael Huber's observation (2004a) represents an exception as it describes the institutional arrangement for the management of floods in England while emphasizing the influence it has on insurability.
The assumption that institutions exercise an effect on the insurability of natural hazards remains central. Generally when regarding natural hazards one can differentiate between those affected and those unaffected by anthropogenic climate change. Natural hazards which are not amplified by global warming are earthquakes, volcano eruptions and tsunamis (Munich Re 2009). [...]

JEEP 2011 dealership problems
Hi all,
I have a 2011 Jeep Grand Cherokee Laredo.
Over the past month or so it's been failing to start at all. The engine tick over, the lights come on but nothing happens.. A nightmare.
Sometimes it won't start for like 3-6 times and them vroom something kicks in and it starts.
It's not the battery and I have fuel in the tank.
The dealership took the vehicle, change the right fuel pump. I got car back and then whilst driving the check engine light came on. Then an hour later it wouldn't start again. I took it back to dealership and the took another five days to replace to left fuel pump. Both under warranty of course.
Now I've had it back for two days and it's not starting again. It's such a pain in the balls and so inconvenient and now they won't give me a free rental car either and I'm losing out on work because I don't have a vehicle.
Does anyone know at all what the problem could be? A lot of people telling me it could be the technical system which is obviously very dangerous and therefore a lot of people are telling me to look into the lemon law.
Any thoughts or help would be massively appreciated.
Re: JEEP 2011 dealership problems
First, before losing work, rent a cheap car.
The entire vehicle is a technical system. Keep receipts for each repair, and if the problem reaches the standard of your state's lemon law, that is an option.
You might also try bringing it to another dealer.
From your description (not seeing it first hand) it sounds like a bad ignition switch is a possibility. I had something similar with a TrailBlazer.
Re: JEEP 2011 dealership problems
Call Jeep customer service.
Re: JEEP 2011 dealership problems
I know people will think im a dick head with this comment, but every customer has a chance to talk to Finanace, where they sell service contracts which.....yes, will cover a rental car on a NON service contract repair.... You said no, so you cant freak on them for no car.

NC officials say closing of 5 prisons complete
RALEIGH, WAKE COUNTY - North Carolina correction officials say they've closed five additional prisons since the summer in keeping with the state budget and fewer inmates.
Officials with the state Division of Adult Correction and Juvenile Justice said Thursday that prisons with more than 1,900 inmate beds in Duplin, Robeson, Bladen, Wayne and Burke counties are closed. They include the Western Youth Institution in Morganton, with more than 700 beds.
Inmates were relocated to other prisons. The division says more than 85 percent of the 560 people working at the closing prisons found other work within the division's Department of Public Safety. Eighteen people retired or resigned, while 61 others couldn't be placed in other work and received severance pay.
North Carolina now has 61 prisons.

FERREIRA, Elane Grazielle Borba de Sousa et al. Overcoming of dormancy of crista de galo in seeds. Cienc. Rural [online]. 2012, vol.42, n.5, pp.808-813. ISSN 1678-4596. http://dx.doi.org/10.1590/S0103-84782012000500008.
This study had the objective of evaluating the effect of different pre-germination treatments for overcome of dormancy of Celosia cristata seeds, subjected to the following treatments: heat shock - exhibition in an oven at 80°C for 5 minutes, chemical scarification with sulfuric acid for 1 minute, 30 seconds and 5 minutes, immersion of intact seeds in water the 80°C at cooling and immersion of intact seeds in water for 24 hours, and the control - no treatment. We evaluated the following final percentage, first count and germination speed index, but also the length of the primary root and hypocotyl. The seeds of C. cristata when coming from ripe fruits do not require the use of treatments to overcoming dormancy.
Palabras clave : Celosia cristata; germination; vigor.

Here are three more issues that arise when trying to understand Paul's use of the Adam story. The rest will follow in next week's post. These issues are pretty involved, and so this post is longer than I would like. My apologies in advance.
As we continue, especially with this week's topics, let me repeat: to raise these questions is not to answer them one way or another. But, they are valid questions that have been raised and engaged by thoughtful readers, some for a very, very long time. They are not trendy or conjured up.
Thinking through them takes some patience, a fair amount of knowledge, and even more wisdom. At the end of the day, wrestling through these issues will yield a greater understanding of Paul and how his Gospel is summed up in the risen Messiah.
4. The Fall in the Garden
What exactly were the consequences of Adam and Eve's disobedience in the Garden? I realize this question sounds like Bible 101, but it isn't. It is a complicated issue, and many great minds have wrestled with it.
Adam and Eve eat the fruit, even though they were warned not to (Genesis 2:17). God imposes penalties—curses—on them with clearly intended ongoing consequences. From Adam and Eve on, humanity would experience death (return to dust); from Adam and Eve on, the ground would be cursed, women would have pain in childbirth, etc., etc. The penalties are announced and the first pair is then expelled from the Garden—the final blow.
So far all of this sounds familiar. But, with all the curses listed in 3:14-19, the following isnot among them: "From now on, your children and all of humanity, by the very nature of their birth, will be born in a state of sin and guilt against which they will be powerless to help themselves."
This omission may be surprising to some. A sense of being "born in sin" is typically associated as a central element of the Garden episode, especially reading Genesis 3 side-by-side with Paul (namely Romans 5:12-21). This has puzzled interpreters. So, the question is: If "born in sin" is what the Garden story is really about, why doesn't Genesis just come out and say so?
Take the Cain and Abel story. Did Cain kill his brother because he was born in a state of sin? This is sometimes assumed to be the case, but is this what we actually read in Genesis?
Does Genesis indicate that it was because of Adam's trespass that Cain killed Abel? Was Cain's act a by-product of Adam's transgression passed on to his offspring somehow? Or could it be that Cain's sin follows in Adam's footsteps some other way? After all, transgression did not need a fall—Adam and Eve had already sinned by disobeying God. Is Cain's transgression, like that of his parents', part of his humanity rather than fallenness?
Other than what we read in the list of curses in Genesis 3, the Garden story does not tell us what if anything "transferred" between Adam and his offspring. This does not call sin or the Gospel into question. But it does mean that responsible Christian interpreters will need to ask (1) what does the fall narrative in Genesis actually say? (2) how does that connect with the Christian view of the fall, especially as we see it in Paul's writings?
There are different ways of making the connection, but the point is simply that a connection has to be made. The connection is not obvious (as a scan of commentaries will show).
5. The Adam/Jesus Parallel in Romans 5 is both Clear and not so Clear
We move from Genesis to the other side of the equation: Paul. For many, the heart of the issue is the parallel Paul makes in Romans 5:12-21 between Jesus and Adam—the entire Gospel hangs on getting this parallel right, and what Paul says here settles the matter.
Yet, as with Genesis, there are numerous questions about what Paul is getting at here. Leafing through any some commentaries on Romans will illustrate what some of them are. The general point Paul is making is clear enough, but some of the details are tricky.
What is clear in Romans 5:21-21 is that Adam's disobedience resulted in death for "all," and this comes right out of Genesis. Likewise, Jesus' obedience (i.e., his crucifixion leading to his resurrection) brought life to "all." (A similar point is made in 1 Corinthians 15, namely, vv. 20-22.)
This is breath-taking theology. In a few short verses, Paul is doing nothing less than bringing together the grand narrative of Scripture. The crucified and risen Messiah brings closure to the entire biblical drama. The Christ is the second, obedient, Adam (Romans 5), the firstfruits of the new humanity (1 Corinthians 15). In Christ, all of creation starts over.
We can't say enough about how important a point this is for Paul's theology. But, there are interpretive difficulties nonetheless that affect how the Adam/Jesus parallel plays out.
For example, Paul says that Adam's disobedience has universal implications: Adam brought death to "all." So what does it mean for Jesus to bring life to "all"? Paul is no universalist. Wouldn't it be better to say that Jesus brought life to "all who believe"?
Paul is not a sloppy thinker, but he is aware that the parallel clearly does not fit precisely. In fact, he is quick to say "many" in vv. 15 and 19 rather than "all." He seems to employ the parallel but then back off a bit, almost to say, "Well, not literally all. It doesn't quite work that way. I mean many."
The limits of the parallel do not diminish Paul's theology. The parallel serves his purpose, but is clearly not airtight. This signals that readers need to keep both eyes open when probing how exactly Paul understands the parallel.
Verse 12 also raises a question or two. What does Paul mean when he says that through Adam's sin, "death came to all, because all sinned." (Commentaries tend to camp out here for a bit, especially on the Greek phrase translated "because.") One might have expected Paul to say, "because he [Adam] sinned" (death is Adam's fault). Is Paul suggesting that some responsibility is on our shoulders rather than Adam's? What exactly is Paul saying (or not saying) about Adam here?
Note, too, that Paul focuses on only one effect of Adam's disobedience: death and how "death reigned" from Adam on (Romans 5:14). There is no mention of the other effects of Adam's disobedience that are sometimes tied to this parallel, such as the corruption of our inner nature. That does not mean Paul does not believe that, only that he does not tie it to Adam. (Remember, folks, these posts are not about Paul's theology in general but Paul's Adam.)
Again, these questions about the Jesus/Adam parallel do not undermine Christianity. But there is a reason why this parallel has attracted so much attention throughout the history of the church, and why some of the very same questions continue to be raised.
To bring this all the way back to the beginning: Synthesizing evolution and Christianity is not a matter of starting with what Paul is "obviously" saying. Paul's Adam is challenging, and was so long before evolution ever entered the mix.
6. What is Romans Really About?
The last generation or two of New Testament scholarship has shed some light on how to read Paul. This is another complicated issue—if also controversial. But it is also an important one for understanding Paul, especially Romans.
N. T. Wright in particular has been a strong proponent of rethinking the message of Romans in light of the Jewish thought world behind the person of Jesus and into which Paul was speaking. In other words, how would people back then have understood what Paul was saying?
As the argument goes, Romans is often understood as showing the personal path to salvation, "how I can get right with God." But this is a peripheral (although legitimate) issue. According to Wright and others, there is a bigger issue that captures Romans from beginning to end: not personal salvation, but how Jews and Gentilestogether can be one people, reconciled to God, united in the risen Messiah, not divided by longstanding ethnic issues.
This may seem a bit anti-climactic for contemporary Protestant readers of Romans. But the Jewish/Gentile issue was a huge problem in the early church. Many Jewish Christians felt that Gentiles had to become Jewish first (through law-keeping, especially circumcision) before bring granted Christian fellowship.
Paul says, "No. Gentiles can enter our fellowship as Gentiles. Both groups are on equal footing." This created tensions (see Acts), especially since the Old Testament requires circumcision for non-Israelites who want to join to fold (e.g., Exodus 12:48). So, Paul spends some time arguing his case (see Galatians).
So what does all this have to do with Paul's Adam? Paul's Jesus/Adam parallel does not stem from a "plain reading" of Genesis. It is selective and theologically driven.
Paul is not simply "reading Genesis" or his Old Testament. He focuses on one aspect of the Adam story—disobedience leads to death. Death is the problem that grabs Paul's attention. This is only one of several issues that arise out of Genesis. And it is a theme that the Old Testament itself does not develop.
But Paul does. That is because the resurrection of Jesus is the impetus for what aspect of the Adam story he picks up and how he uses it. It is the resurrection of Jesus that drives Paul's reading of the Adam story. For Paul, as for any other Jew, the resurrection of the Messiah came out of the blue. Why did God do that?
This is why. "Jew and Gentile, the real problem is much deeper than you ever thought. It affects both of you equally. Jesus is the solution that both of you need. To the Jews especially I want to say that keeping the law is not the solution to the world's problems. It will not fix what is deeply wrong. Only Jesus can. The problem is so deep and universal, the Son of God had to die and rise from the dead to give us all a new beginning."
Jesus, in his death and resurrection, does not simply cleanse us from sin. He conquers the effect of sin. He conquers death, for all who believe—Jew and Gentile alike.
Not everyone agrees with this reading of Romans, but it places Paul's writings more securely within our growing understanding of the religious climate of Paul's day. The issues N. T. Wright and others raise are important and influential.
Again, the three issues covered this week are complicated and I've had to draw out these points a bit further than I normally like to (even though we have hardly grazed the surface). The bottom line is that understanding Paul's Adam is a serious scholarly conversation where numerous complex issues have a rightful and necessary place at the table.
We'll finish the list next week.

Date of Stay: May, 2012
We stayed here for the first time. The setting is beautiful. The indoor pool and water park was a HUGE plus for our kids since it's too early in the season for outdoor pools. We arrived at 10 PM and they had no escorts to take us to a site and we were just told to pick any site. It was a little difficult with it being so dark but we ended up with a very nice site in the end. The camp store had hardly anything in it. They did have the room, shelves and refrigerator and freezer space for many things but it was all empty and bare. They did not have coffee available and said the coffee maker was clogged. They do offer Wi-Fi for $5.95 per night. Everything was very neat and quiet. Some sites were spacious and others were small. People were very friendly all around the campground. We are not members and are considering becoming one in the future. Overall it was a great weekend and perfect for the relaxation we were looking for. The thing that did bother us was the RV storage was right by the store and it doesn't look very nice. It looks as if many RVs have been there for years and are just a mess. It would be nicer if that section was moved out of sight.
Date of Stay: July, 2009
After reading previous reviews we were nervous to try this campground. We were pleasantly surprised. The woman who booked us over the phone and checked us in was confusing and slow, but don't let that scare you away. There was a great guy working here the whole time and he was AWESOME! The pool was clean, no lifeguard. Putt Putt golf was good. Not a fancy courses but everyone enjoyed it. The sites were a little small and could have used some weed whacking. They were nice and shaded. One thing that surprised me was the activities they have for the kids. I hadn't expected that. We had treasure hunts, bingo, free root bear floats, weinie roast and fireworks. I want to note that great guy was here for all of that too. He was awesome during the treasure hunt with the kids. My kids really enjoyed "Ranger Mike." The pond was stocked with a lot of fish. Kids caught a big catfish among other smaller fish. It was a great experience and we would definitely go back.
Date of Stay: August, 2007
We were very pleased with this campground. They have 4 pools but we only saw 3 of them and actually used 2 of them. They did not have lifeguards on duty, but an employee was always at the pools. This is the largest campground that we have ever stayed in and it was one of the quietest campgrounds. We stayed on site 560 and it was huge. My brother stayed on 562 and it was just as large. We could have all stayed on one site and had plenty of room. The free parking they offer was wonderful, but plan to get there early. The parking lot filled up quickly and they really pack people in. They also have 2 stores stocked with most everything you would need. They did charge $4.00 a day for internet. Another con was that they did not have fire rings. The bath house near our site is the only one we used and it was clean. The water pressure was not very good in the showers. It made it difficult to get all the sand from your hair. They had movies each night and on Friday night they had a DJ at the front pool. We would stay here again it was a terrific experience.
Date of Stay: June, 2007
We stayed here for 2 nights and had a terrific time. Our site was #168 and was one of the larger sites. The pool was clean and large. My only complaint would be they do not have a lifeguard on duty. They have a giant bounce pillow, that my 3 kids loved. It cost $2 or $7.50 for the day. The game room was huge with many games and pool tables, they have an indoor basketball court which was nice. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Their was a lady Diana who was specifically assigned to kids and activities and she was wonderful. Quiet hours were 10pm-8am and it was quiet. We will stay here again.
Date of Stay: July, 2006
We arrived on a Friday 3 hours prior to check in and they did not charge any extra. The site was very spacious #94. There were 4 playgrounds, 2 which were new the kids loved the huge ship and castle. The pool was smaller then it looked in the pictures. They run a day camp during the week and the pool was cloudy. The staff was friendly. We rented the kayaks and paddle boats which cost $4 per half an hour. My 3 kids went back and forth between the kayaks and paddle boats. The girl working that section was very nice she played and joked around with my kids. She even let us have extra time. The golf course was also really nice. The only complaint we really have is that all the dumpsters were overflowing by Sunday morning. There were bags of trash on the ground around them. The CG wasn't full so I can't imagine how much trash would be piled up on a really busy weekend. There were not as many kids at this CG compared to the ones we usually go to. It was a lot of older people and it was very quiet. We would camp here again.
Date of Stay: June, 2006
We camped here for a week and it had it's good and bad parts. The owners were very nice, helpful and friendly. They go out of their way to make you feel welcome. They had some great activities for the kids. They had live music every night and they had karokee which was a lot of fun. The owners have only been at this CG for 2 years and are making changes. They went above and beyond to help us with some problems that we had. The camp store had very reasonable prices on most items and had everything you could need. The complaints that we had would be about the sites themselves. Our site was very long but very narrow. There was a hill as we came out our door so it made using the awning impossible. The fire pit was within a foot of our camper and was useless. Some sites were not this way and had plenty of room. The restrooms were clean but they only have one bathhouse for the entire campground. There was an issue with the showers for the last couple days. The hot water either didn't come on or only trickled out. With the right site we would go back.
Date of Stay: June, 2006
I had booked this campground prior to reading the reviews. I was nervous to stay after I saw the reviews. We arrived on a Friday and were very surprised at how nice it was. There were permanent residents and they were very friendly. Our site was level and clean. The staff was very friendly. A new playground was being installed and is almost complete. The putt-putt golf was very nicely done and only $2.00 to play. The pool was great and had a slide which my 3 children loved. Lifeguards were always on duty. They had a movie night, a flashlight lollypop hunt, horseshoe tournament for the dad's, crafts for the kids to make a Father's Day gift and cake and ice cream for the dads. The staff was very helpful when a fellow camper hooked up his motorhome and found that his cord wasn't any good. This is a campground we will stay in again and again. My kids loved it and it was very relaxing for the parents.
Date of Stay: May, 2006
We were very disappointed in this campground. It was not maintained at all. The staff was very rude to us. We found the campground doing an internet search and my husband called to make reservations. While making the reservations he asked about the canoe rentals which it shows on the website. They said yes that they had them. When we arrived he asked how we could rent a canoe and was told they had them but they were inoperable. There is no campstore. Trash was piled up during our entire stay. Not once did anyone come to pick it up. The showers were clean but their is no where to change or set your clothes and towels. There was no playground and the basketball hoop they had was in a grass field with very tall grass. We had no picnic table but did find one over by the bathouse and we carried it over to our site. It was in very poor shape. The pool was the only nice thing. It had 2 diving boards but only 1 worked. The kiddie pool was not filled. The horseflies were terrible. There were lifeguards on duty. This is not a place we would ever stay again after being treated rudely by the staff and the poor conditions of the campground.

AMES, Iowa – Every year, children die from being left in hot cars. According to the nonprofit safety group Kids and Cars, more than 600 U.S. children have died from overheating in a parked vehicle since 1990.
"The tragedy of a child dying in a hot car can be prevented. Parents and caregivers need to set up a system that reduces the risk," says Malisa Rader, an Iowa State University Extension and Outreach family life program specialist.
Most of those deaths happen as loving, responsible parents unintentionally leave a child in the backseat in a rear-facing car seat. The backseat is the safest place for children to travel, but this can lead to a child being out of a driver's sight, Rader said
"Add to that a sleeping baby, a bit of stress or an unusual morning routine," Rader said, "and the risk increases of forgetting to drop a child off at child care." Running late, someone different dropping the child off, new work routines or traffic detours – each of these changes from the normal routine could potentially lead to the unthinkable happening.
The sun shining through car windows makes the car work like an oven. In just 10 minutes a car's temperature can increase by 19 degrees and it continues to rise as time goes on. Children are more at risk for heat-related illness than adults, because their bodies make more heat relative to their size and they have not fully developed the capacity to perspire like adults. As a result, this makes being locked in a warm car, for even a short time, potentially fatal.
The results of a recent survey published on the SafeKids.org website stated that 11 percent of parents admit to forgetting their child in a car. Most likely due to the change in routine, dads are nearly three times more likely than moms to leave a child in a parked car.
"A simple reminder is to place something you will be needing in the back seat with your child like a cell phone, purse or laptop," Rader said. Some safety groups urge parents to place their left shoe in the back seat before driving – a clear reminder when getting out of the car that there is precious cargo in the backseat.
Rader offers these additional suggestions to reduce the risk of forgetting a sleeping child in the car.
"Creating multiple safety nets around transporting children will help to ensure safe arrivals," Rader said. "So, be sure to slow down and pay attention to routines, especially when there is a change in the typical procedure." Become vigilant about looking in the vehicle before locking the door. Always look in the backseat before walking away from the vehicle — always.
Iowans can call ISU Extension and Outreach's Iowa Concern Hotline, 800-447-1985, for help and referrals for dealing with stress, crisis and loss.

James Teitelbaum, the author of "Destination Cocktails: The Traveler's Guide to Superior Libations," will belly up to the bar at Bryant's Cocktail Lounge for a book signing on Thursday.
Teitelbaum includes Brew City among the bars from New York to Los Angeles; London to Tokyo, that were part of his research on craft cocktails. He dedicates a page and a half to Bryant's, 1579 S. 9th St., praising it for "fantastic libations, in an atmosphere of untouched temporal flashback from the years when leatherette sofas, fake plants wrapped in Christmas lights and swingin' swag lamps were all the rage."
Teitelbaum writes that he challenged the bartenders during his research for the book. Maybe he'll try that again.
Teitelbaum will begin signing copies of "Destination Cocktails" at 8 p.m. Thursday.
To get you in the mood, read the story on Teitelbaum's book that appeared last month in the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel at bit.ly/Og2zex.

It is piracy that ultimately caused my leavingFSD. Why? I'll get to that in a bit but first a brief history of how I came about as a team member at FSD in the first place.
FSD's history as 3rd party content creators goes back before my time as a developer. It was in the late 90s that Jim Goldman (still an FSD team member) along with Yannick Lavigne, Marco Rensen, Fred Banting, and Steve Small (also still with FSD) started creating amazing content such as the originalTurbo Porter for FS 2000.
During my first freeware adventure with the creation of the Project Open-Sky C-17, I sought out the very best people I knew of to help me develop it. For the flight model, I asked Steve Small and he happily agreed (at that time, he was still doing some freeware work). Well, time passed and the C-17 was put out and then I decided to take a hiatus from development. Maybe a year or so later, Steve and the rest of FSD (who, along with Steve, was Tim Dickens and Jim Goldman) asked me to come on board as a professional modeler. They had several projects in the works that needed some modeling help and they felt that I fit the build – plus they were working on transitioning from FSDS to Gmax and I had already been learning it on my own. Also, I had been secretly working on a T-38 that would become (to my amazement) a great contribution to FSD's hangar.
That was enough motivation for us to develop or seek another distribution method that allowed better control of piracy. At first I thought that this was a good thing, but ultimately caused my leaving the group. Let me first say that in no way am I criticizing work done by the team members at FSD – I still think the work done there is great. But I was getting the feeling that more time was being placed on protecting the product than creating quality content of the overall product. Support for the product really became an ugly issue, especially when we were accusing a user of having pirated wares on his/her PC. FSD's reputation was sinking like a ship, so I felt my time there was done.
I prefer to look at the whole situation like this. If people are willing to steal my work, I would rather not have them as a paying customer. Period. To those who do believe in rewarding people such as myself for the time and effort to created authentic and highly realistic works for FS, I applaude you for your contribution. You help sustain and prolong our existence in the FS market.

Groups get to root of Atlanta dogfighting
Dogfighting in Atlanta is a problem of culture, education, economics and a host of other factors with one common thread: They are problems of people, not pit bulls, says Ralph Hawthorne, community organizer for the Humane Society of the United States' "End Dogfighting" campaign in Atlanta.
"These dogs, they have been taught to fight," he says. "They can be taught not to fight."
His team's approach is simple: Build a healthy pet-owner relationship that involves something other than fighting. They try to reach dogfighters through free dog obedience and agility training, free transportation to the training, and presentations in local schools.
With education comes awareness of the pit bull's pet potential, says Annemarie Pizzi-Jones, a veterinary technician with highly rated Sprayberry Animal Hospital in Marietta, Ga., and a volunteer with Dogs on Death Row animal rescue. She owns one pit bull and is foster parent to another.
To report suspected dogfighting in the Atlanta area, call the following dogfighting hotlines:
• Norred & Associates Inc.: 877-215-2250
• End Dogfighting in Atlanta: 888-297-1683
The dogfighting threat is so great that the rescue group won't let people in certain parts of Atlanta, such as downtown, adopt pit bulls because the dog theft rates are "astronomical," says Jodie Richers, founder of Dogs on Death Row.
Hawthorne says many in Atlanta view dogfighting as normal.
"Even Michael Vick says at 8 or 9 years old he was fighting dogs," he says.
The name of Vick, an NFL quarterback, comes up often in dogfighting conversation. He was playing for the Atlanta Falcons when he was convicted in 2007 on federal dogfighting charges.
Greg Norred, owner of Norred & Associates, a private security firm in Atlanta, took it personally when Vick's crimes came to light.
"Greg is a very avid Falcons fan, but he is also a very avid animal lover," says Chuck Simmons, director of special operations for the firm. "After this Vick thing, he hooked up with a couple of rescue groups and he basically said, 'We'll do this for nothing.'"
The company builds a case based on tips to its hotline and website, helpstopdogfighting.com, then hands it to law enforcement.
Animal cruelty experts say the large, often rural dogfighting breeders and rings, with betting pools of $100,000 and trained dogs costing several thousand dollars, rarely interact with the inner-city culture of street dogfighting with its impromptu matches and relatively small wagers. But as in Vick's case, one can lead to the other.
Hawthorne says the efforts on all fronts will take time to see results.
"I have people say, 'My grandfather used to take us to dogfights at the church,'" he says. "Any time you try to change the mindset of individuals, it's an uphill battle."

What's the best cat litter for my cat?
Lately, my cat's been urinating alot and the litter we normally use smells even worse if she urinates in it-even if I just cleaned it! It's starting to get annoying, especially when people come over. What's the best cat litter?

The World's Best Cat Litter (there's a coupon for $3 off here on Catster) It's made from ground corn and it clumps really well. It's all natural so it's really safe and when I tried it, when I scooped, the smell reminded me of breakfast cereal and I did not smell urine at all. However, whatever you do try, I would recommend continuing to use the old stuff in another box until you are sure she likes it. Cats will often protest a change by peeing someplace else. My girls actually did not like the WBCL and they just used the other boxes containing Tidy Cat's Scoop Multi Cat instead. I wish they would use the corn and not the clay but they get what they want. The Tidy Cats works really well for clumping and odor as well. I would just prefer not to use clay. The natural products are healthier. I also tried Feline Pine Scoop. They didn't like it much and it's like sawdust so they tracked it from one end of my house to the other.

Have you had your baby checked for an infection? I know that in humans, an infection can make the urine smell strong. I'd take her in and have her tested.

The Niagara University Department of Athletics is proud to announce the members of the Hall of Fame Class of 2013. The induction ceremony will be held Sunday, Oct. 13, at noon on the fourth floor of St. Vincent's Hall as part of Niagara University's Alumni Weekend.
The Hall of Fame Class of 2013 includes Juan Mendez, '05 (men's basketball), Barret Ehgoetz, '05 (hockey), Milena Matijevic, '04 (women's tennis), the 1993-94 men's swimming and diving team and the Rev. Joseph Hubbert, C.M., '73.
The keynote speaker for the event is the Rev. James J. Maher, C.M., Niagara University president.
Hall of Fame inductees are chosen on the basis of playing ability, integrity, character, leadership, sportsmanship and his or her contributions to the athletics teams on which he or she played as well as to Niagara University in general, among other qualifications.
Mendez rewrote the Niagara record books during his four seasons on Monteagle Ridge. The 6-foot-8 forward led the Purple Eagles to the second NCAA Tournament berth in school history while amassing over 2,000 points and 1,000 rebounds. He ranks in the top five in seven career categories, including points, rebounds and blocks.
The 2005 MAAC Player of the Year averaged 23.5 points and 10.6 rebounds per game during his senior season while leading NU to the MAAC championship. Mendez scored 23 points with 13 rebounds in the championship victory over Rider to earn MAAC Tournament MVP and propel the squad into its second-straight postseason berth, and just the second NCAA Tournament in school history. That season, he also landed on the AP All-American Honorable Mention Team. During his career, Mendez was named First-Team All-MAAC a record three times.
Ehgoetz had an incredibly successful collegiate career at Niagara University, leaving a mark on both the university and the College Hockey America conference. The native of Kincardine, Ont., finished his college career as the all-time leading scorer in both Niagara and CHA conference history, before pursuing a successful professional ice hockey career upon receiving his diploma.
Throughout his four years with the Purple Eagles, the three-year captain notched a program best 166 points off 71 goals and 95 assists, and added 142 penalty minutes. The forward led Niagara in points his final two seasons, including his final year where he was tops on the team with 46 points (16 g, 30a) in 36 games and was the league's leader in points and assists.
His final stat count had him standing first in CHA history in career points and assists, ranking second in conference history in career goals. The three-time all-conference team honoree was also named to the Academic All-CHA team three times while majoring in business.
The Purple Eagles' former No. 1 singles and doubles player, Matijevic finished her career at Niagara as the program's all-time singles and doubles winner. She finished her four-year career with a singles record of 104-9 and a doubles mark of 56-16. The 2003 and 2004 MAAC Most Outstanding Women's Tennis Player posted a 23-2 overall record and 6-1 league mark in singles in her senior season, and helped Niagara to the program's first ever International Tennis Association team ranking (71st) in 2004.
A three-time member of the MAAC All-Academic Team, Matijevic was honored as a 2004 CoSIDA Women's At-Large Academic All-American with a 3.99 in mathematics. The Niagara Falls, Ont., native was honored as MAAC Female Student-Athlete of the Year for the 2002-03 and 2003-04 seasons.
The 1993-94 men's swimming and diving team became the first Niagara program to capture a MAAC Championship. The Purple Eagles were victorious in seven events as they edged Loyola by 22 points to win the championship. Niagara won four of the five relays in the championship, and placed third in the other relay. The foursome of Ryan Delaney, Ken Krawczyk, John Ruffolo, and Chris VonDuring won both the 200- and 400-yard medley relay. VonDuring teamed with Delaney, Trevor Gabriel, and Jim Burns to win the 400-freestyle relay, and with Krawczyk, Burns, and John Dobbertin to win the 200-yard freestyle relay.
VonDuring also won the 100-yard fly and finished fifth in the 100-yard freestyle and Ruffolo posted wins in the 100- and 200-yard breaststroke. Delaney added two individual top-three finishes to go along with his three first-place relay finishes. He was the runner-up in the 200-yard fly and third in the 200-yard fly and third in the 200-yard freestyle. Other third-place finishes for Niagara included Jim Burns in the 200-yard individual medley and the foursome of Delaney, Burns, Chris Newell, and Chris Holland in the 800-yard freestyle.
Father Hubbert is an avid supporter and contributor to Niagara Athletics. A 1973 Niagara University graduate, Father Hubbert has been affiliated with Niagara Athletics since returning to the university as a professor in the religious studies department in 1993. Father Hubbert has served as the softball team moderator since 1995 and the men's and women's basketball teams' moderator since 2006.
Tickets for the hall of fame luncheon and induction ceremony are $25. For questions or further assistance, please contact Jennifer Ebbole at 716.286.8600 or ude.aragainnull@elobbej.

Marshall Islands Sues the Nuclear-Armed Nations
Just a few hours ago, the Republic of the Marshall Islands filed lawsuits against all nine nuclear-armed nations. All nine were named in applications to the International Court of Justice in The Hague, while an additional lawsuit was filed against the United States in U.S. Federal District Court in San Francisco.
The courage of the Marshall Islands in filing these lawsuits is admirable. The people of the Marshall Islands were subjected to 67 nuclear weapon tests by the United States from 1946-1958. The tests caused untold suffering that continues to this day through cancers, displacement and death.
But the RMI is not filing these lawsuits in retaliation for those nuclear weapon tests. A couple of days ago I spoke with Tony de Brum, Minister of Foreign Affairs of the Marshall Islands. He told me, "The Marshall Islands, as close and enduring friends of the United States, view this action as a movement toward universal peace and security, a goal shared with the United States."
In other words, sometimes friends need to stage an intervention when someone is addicted to something that puts themselves and others at great risk. "Friends don't let friends threaten the world with nuclear annihilation."
The lawsuits claim that the nuclear-armed nations are in breach of Article VI of the Non-Proliferation Treaty. Essentially, they are not negotiating in good faith for nuclear disarmament, which is required under the treaty and under customary international law. They are continuing the nuclear arms race by modernizing their nuclear arsenals; Article VI requires that they negotiate an end to the nuclear arms race.
Non-nuclear weapon states have had enough. The nuclear age has gone on for far too long.

Beschreibung..". Boisseau recontextualizes U.S. feminism in the cinematic 20thcentury. White Queen challenges the narratives we have told about ourselves andilluminates the imperialism and celebrity worship that lurks within Americanfeminism yet today." -- Lee Quinby, Harter Chair, Hobart and WilliamSmith Colleges
May French-Sheldon's improbable public career beganwith an expedition throughout East Africa in 1891. She led a large entourage dressedin a long, flowing white dress and blonde wig, with a sword and pistol strapped toher side. As the "first woman explorer of Africa," she claimed to haveinspired both awe and trust in the Africans she encountered, and as her celebritygrew, she reinvented herself as a messenger of civilization and "racialuplift." Tracey Jean Boisseau's insightful reading of the "WhiteQueen" exposes the intertwined connections between popular notions of Americanfeminism, American national identity, and the reorientation of Euro-Americanimperialism at the turn of the century.

Box Score | Quotes | Notes | Photo Gallery
KNOXVILLE - Tennessee showed up a little late to its own coming-out party, but not too late to claim a 73-52 victory Thursday over Carson-Newman in the debut exhibition game for head coach Cuonzo Martin.
The Vols used an 11-0 run to end the first half, and then limited their Division II neighbors to just four second-half field goals to rally from a sluggish start.
"I know it wasn't pretty early, but the guys managed to get it done and did a good job doing that," Martin said. "We did not jump to the ball as well as we'd like. We didn't have five guys boxing out, but I thought overall the guys did well for their first game."
Jordan McRae, sporting a new No. 52 jersey this season, led all scorers with 17 points. He scored 12 of those consecutively for the Vols midway during the first half to lift Tennessee from its early slumber.
Martin had to wait more than 3½ minutes on the Thompson-Boling Arena clock to see his team's first basket. Cameron Tatum finally broke the ice with a 3-pointer at 16:32 that ended an early 6-0 run by Carson-Newman.
The Eagles kept applying the pressure and still led 16-10 with 11 minutes to go in the first half when McRae took over. The sophomore scored 12 straight Tennessee points on a field goal, a 3-pointer, two free throws and another trey before his driving dunk at 8:07 lifted Tennessee to its first lead at 22-20.
It was 30-28 Eagles when the Vols capped the first half with 11 consecutive points over a 3:16 span. Josh Richardson and Trae Golden sparked the streak with back-to-back 3-pointers for a 39-30 halftime advantage.
Tennessee's defense was the difference in the second period. Carson-Newman scored just two field goals over the game's final 18 minutes and finished 4-of-24 from the field for the second half. Jared Johnson's layup with 8:27 to play was Carson-Newman's final field goal of the game.
"Overall, I would give them a C+ on the defensive side of the ball," Martin said. "I thought Jeronne Maymon did a good job of crashing the glass on both ends of the floor. It was very impressive. Jordan McRae did a solid job as well."
Maymon earned game-high rebounding honors with 15 in just 27 minutes. He added 10 points to join Golden with 14 for UT's two other double-figure scorers.
The Eagles, coached by former Vols assistant Chuck Benson, were led by 13 points from Antoine Davis. Johnson, Ishmael Sanders and Corbin Jackson added seven points apiece.
Free throws were an early issue for the Vols, who missed six of their first seven attempts. But Tennessee was 13-of-17 from the stripe in the second half and finished a respectable 21-of-33 for the game.
The Vols won the rebounding battle, 51-32. Both teams committed 22 turnovers.
Tatum and Skylar McBee chipped in a pair of 3-pointers for UT, which was 10-of-31 from long distance. Tatum finished with eight points and McBee had six.
"I would like to thank the fans for coming out and supporting us the way they did," Martin said.
Tennessee's second and final exhibition game is Monday against Lincoln Memorial, with a 7 p.m. tip at Thomson-Boling Arena. The Vols open the regular season Nov. 11 at home against UNC Greensboro.

Your Case for Support: Translating Your Strategic Plan into Donor Values
The Axelson Center for Nonprofit Management
Wednesday, October 10, 2012 from 9:00 AM to 4:00 PM (CDT)
Event Details
Doug Diefenbach, Vice President of Campaign Strategy and Communications, Advocate Charitable Foundation
You understand what you raise money for. You understand the basics of donor motivation. But to break through and bridge the two, you have to convey your strategic objectives in terms that will be valued by your constituents—that is, in terms of their own personal values and experiences, interests, and hopes. Ranging from the strategic to the highly practical, this workshop in "case craft" is appropriate for development professionals, executive directors, board members—or anyone facing the challenge of representing your organization and its vision to your constituents. Using best practices, discussion, and "tales from the front," Part I prepares you to translate your strategic plan into donor benefits. Then stay on for Part II—a hands-on writing laboratory and focus group where you will begin to craft a new case for your institution, receiving instant expert feedback on your efforts. Discover and practice the rational, stepwise process for breaking down your organization's visions and programs to the underlying values they represent—values your constituents will recognize readily and support generously.
Part I: 9:00 am to Noon
Part II: 1:00 pm to 4:00 pm
You can choose to register for either part or the whole day. We highly recommend you only attend Part II if you have completed Part I on this day or at a previous workshop. Due to limited time, the instructor will not review the Part I concepts in the afternoon. If you're staying for the whole day, lunch will be provided during the two sessions.

Swarm come off your hives?
That "tube" you speak of isn't PVC or something too slick to climb?Congrads on the swarm catch!
Bees will climb the pvc just fine. I had a run of over four feet with a couple turns and they navigated without incident. I actually left it as 1 1/4 from outdoors to hive.
Did you notice if you had the queen Moots? I have had them just take time setting up housekeeping before. Remember the bees in the swarm likely had full honey stomachs and may be building wax under the cluster to get things started.They need to cluster to keep the wax moldable. They will move around when they are ready. Whether it is to start foraging or to abscond.
Moots,Was the swarm round bottom or pointed? At the bee college this weekend, I learned that a swarm with a queen will have a round bottom as compared to a pointed bottom if there is no queen. It's her pheromones that make the difference.
I also learned that it is best to use a clear tube. You can buy a 1 1/4 clear tube at the hardware store and replace it. On my way home from the college, I received a call from my wife that my OH hive had clogged up the tube with dead bees. I took it apart and cleaned it. It was real yellow. The next day it was clogged again. This happened once before and after I replaced the tube the problem stopped so I replaced it and they stopped clogging it up. My tube is 30" inches long. It does take a few day for them to figure it out.
