As the dust settles on another presidential election year, I cannot help but offer an observation: We have very few true leaders in government positions — elected or appointed, and this election did little to change that fact.
The election of Barack Obama in 2008 for better or worse ushered in a new era of political degeneration — the dominance of popular culture in election choices, the perpetuation of which was solidified with the success of his re-election campaign last Tuesday.
What crisis will send us to our next intersection of substantive policy and our lowest societal common denominator? Perhaps it will be our own "fiscal cliff." Maybe it will be an Israeli preemptive strike against Iran. Europe's demise to almost certain financial collapse is another possibility. Or, perhaps it will be another terrorist attack on one of our embassies, apparently ignored in real time in a depraved calculation of politics versus human life.
The personal denigration of those with whom we disagree, offset by the periodic visit to the fawning doves of shows like "The View" provides the formulaic cultural juxtaposition needed to distract the electorate from such substantive issues and sustain the ever important cultural popularity — our new political gold standard.
This trend has trickled down to our local elections and by my observation knows no partisan bounds. Two examples, from opposite ends of the valley, and opposite ends of the political spectrum, stand out for me.
No. 1: More eggs.
As reported in this newspaper last week, the Pitkin County Republican headquarters was, for a second time, vandalized by egg throwers. This time the culprits struck on Halloween, hitting the front door repeatedly. Prevailing conjecture blames the act on adolescents. Are they solely to blame?
When interviewed about the vandalism, Pitkin County Republican Chair Frieda Wallison mentioned, rightfully, that the issue merits an open community discussion. She suggested an assembly at the high school to address issues of civility in community discourse. When asked by this newspaper to comment on the idea, Aspen School District Superintendent John Maloy's clipped response was that he had not been approached about the issue and "will not presume his students are guilty without proof."
Apparently Maloy's duties now also include legal representation.
The opportunity to use the egg throwing incident as an object lesson in how we treat each other evidently requires an external validation for Aspen's leading educator to act on it. Unless something changes, Aspen may soon legitimately be considered a place where some parents send their children to do their dirty work. Real community leaders would recognize this budding trend and take proactive steps to address it. At issue is neither innocence nor guilt, but basic civility and tolerance of those with whom we disagree.
"Teach your children well" goes the famous Graham Nash lyric. John Maloy may have missed an opportunity.
No. 2: Anti-Linman flier fail.
A couple weeks ago a paid political flier arrived in my mailbox. The cardstock mailer sought to illustrate Garfield County commissioner candidate Sonja Linman, a Democrat, as a radical crazy, using a grainy black and white photo of Sonja wearing dark sunglasses in a vain attempt to illustrate her as ominous.
The flyer rambled on, without source or specificity, about Sonja's "dangerous" plans to increase taxes. A second photo of Linman, a dedicated lifelong educator — with the word "FAIL" stamped across her face in red capital letters — was not only offensive but also overtly misogynistic.
The mailer was paid for by the "Northwest Colorado Alliance" a 501(c)(4) organization that according to its website " ... exists to educate citizens and Colorado public officials on issues of public policy so they can, if they choose, make a difference in their community on issues affecting their city, state, and even their country at large."
Precisely what "educational" information is contained in a flier that nonspecifically attacks a long-standing community leader and educator, while seeking to visually depict her inaccurately as a strident radical is completely lost to me.
What is not lost to me is that an organization claiming dedication to education would stamp "fail" in capital letters across the face of a real educator.
Upon winning re-election for a fifth term as commissioner, Sonja's opponent, incumbent John Martin, was quoted in the Post Independent that his campaign was about "honesty." Mr. Martin's responsibility for the honesty of his campaign ends where his proxies' work begins.
Martin is not alone. Such attacks emanated from both sides of the aisle in local and state elections. I saw no such hit pieces originating from those supporting Linman, however, who garnered almost 49 percent of the vote against Garfield County's most established and powerful local politician.
I for one hope we have an opportunity to vote for her again.
Eggs and big block letters hurled by proxies to intimidate and mislead us, ignored by the leaders with the power to stop them. Welcome to local politics in the enlightened Roaring Fork Valley.

Convergent Basic Social Services
"Unintended" consequences of the reforms brought about issues on children such as increased school drop-out, abandoned and street children, working children, commercial sexual exploitation of children and trafficking of young women. The extent of rural disadvantage in Mongolia is striking. The cost of providing social services to a population dispersed over such a vast territory is high, and a challenge for a small, developing nation with a weak rural economy.
It is difficult to reach many of the poor in the rural areas, because they are scattered, isolated and mobile. Besides migration between urban centres and the countryside, there are also movements from borders and remote areas to the centre and from cities to foreign countries. All this movement has rendered large sections of the population, especially women and children, more vulnerable and economically insecure.
In order to reduce the disparities between urban and rural areas, the Government of Mongolia has developed the Regional Development Strategy (RDS), dividing the country into five regions. The UN agencies developed the assistance framework (UNDAF) to support the Government to achieve the MDGs and western region and "ger (traditional tent) shanty areas in Ulaanbaatar will be focus areas for technical assistance. Below are some facts on situation of children and women in Western region and Ulaanbaatar.

I would appreciate subjective opinions from those who have heard both.I have owned the Alon I and II speakers,which I enjoyed,but am considering the VR1,with sub or VR2.Any thoughts are appreciated.
Follow Ups:
The Alons can be captivating, but only in the right room.
The dipolar radiation requires careful room placement, and where they sound good may not be where yoy want to place them.
True, the VR 2 has a rear tweeter, but it is adjustable, or it can be turned off completely.
The cabinetry of VR 2 is first rate, it flat beautiful.
The VR 2 allows for sand and or lead shot filling for resonance control.
Its a tough choice between the two, and your room and listening taste will ultimately decide.
If you could please remove the roofing advertising from your signature it would be appreciated. AA doesn't allow advertising from audio manufacturers/dealers so I don't think it's fair for you to advertise your roofing business even though it is not audio related.
I own a roof cleaning business in Tampa, Florida Tom.
That would make it a wee bit difficult to clean roofs in California, dont you think ?
I sell no roof cleaning products, I only make the link availiable to show other Audiophiles what I do.
No different than DUILawyer, reviewer, etc.
I have taught several audiophiles how to clean their own roof for no charge.
Some people here master records, and are up front about it.
I clean roofs.
The chances of finding a record mastering deal here on Asylum ar as remote as me finding a roof to clean !
Several people do clean their own roof, and what better way to learn how to do it than from a fellow audiophile ?
I freely share info with my fellow hobbyists, although, I must admit, a guy in Mississippi did ask me to drive up there from Florida to clean his.
I told him that was sort of hard to do since the average roof cleaning is about 150 dollars !
If you enjoyed the Alon I and II you should listen to the new Lotus Elite and Elite Signature before buying the Von Scweikert. I've owned the II's and currently own V's with the Circe upgrades and it's my understanding they are somewhere in between and have been getting great reviews.

Politics and taxes are inextricably linked. Both rely on numbers, and both are adjusted to reflect constituent moods as much as economic needs.
In the case of President Barack Obama's latest tax proposal, he seems to have politics and some economic data on his side.
The president's plan announced on Monday would keep the current four lowest income tax rates in place through 2013, but bump the top two rates from 33 percent and 35 percent to 36 percent and 36.9 percent, respectively, for individuals making more than $200,000 per year and families with annual income exceeding $250,000.
The latest Congressional Connection Poll, conducted by Princeton Survey Research Associates International for United Technologies and the Washington, D.C., publication National Journal, found that most Americans prefer Obama's plan to extend the Bush-era tax cuts for lower earners only, as opposed to keeping them for everyone.
Sixty percent of those polled late last week said it is "very important" to extend the cuts for families making less than $250,000. Just 40 percent said it is "very important" to extend those rates for all taxpayers.
The numbers are even stronger for bumping up the top two rates when the percentages of poll respondents who said it was "very important" and "somewhat important" are combined. That total shows 68 percent place importance on extending the cuts for everyone regardless of income, while a whopping 82 percent say it's important to extend the lower tax rates for only those who make less than $250,000 a year.
Of course, this is just one poll. But it's consistent with what public opinion surveys on tax rates have been reporting for years. Most people have no problem with making the wealthy pay more in taxes.
The reason is obvious. Most of us won't be affected.
A recent analysis of higher taxes on higher earners found that fewer than 2 percent of Americans would face bigger Internal Revenue Service bills if the 33 percent and 35 percent tax rates were bumped up a bit.
Still, the GOP and its presidential candidate Mitt Romney are insistent that the rates must remain as is or economic growth will stall.
Really? We've had these tax rates in place since 2001. Why then are so many people still unemployed?
Because if you look at the economic numbers, taxes really don't affect hiring that much.
Data from the Bureau of Labor Statistics and the Bureau of Economic Analysis show that the tax policies of the George W. Bush administration did little for job creation. During the eight years when the tax cuts that bear Bush's name were put in place, job growth was just 2 percent, the lowest since the Truman administration.
The folks who participated in this latest poll probably didn't have this economic data at hand. But they did know that while they and their family and friends are out there looking for jobs, those with high-paying positions are doing just fine.
And they think it's time for those wealthier folks to share a bit more with Uncle Sam.

I keep staying here and it's like my home base in Des Moines
Friendly helpful staff ready to provide assistance and guidance. Found the location in close proximity to the the airport and interstate. Dining was not the best in the vicinity of the hotel (not the hotels fault) but found the hotel's restaurant especially the breakfast to be exceptional. The breakfast wait staff were among the best I've experienced at a hotel restaurant. The suites could use an upgrade/redecoration.
Friendly and helpful staff - both front desk and valet; helpful with directions and made a couple of good restaurant recommendations; Location convenient for an event my wife and I attended during our stay and the valet shuttle included at no additional cost was helpful. Nice breakfast offerings. While I got lucky with a dynamite parking spot in front of the hotel for the weekend and didn't need to move my car, the notion of valet parking for $15 per night was distasteful (I know it can be much more in major coastal cities). Sunday morning breakfast should not end at 10 a.m. - it should run at least until 11.
The room was so luxurious & the staff was amazing! The free breakfast was delicious! We loved staying at the Hyatt! Would definitely recommend & stay there again! The difficult parking, didn't find a spot & had to use valet
Large, clean room Good people
it was a beautiful hotel, superior service, with very spacious rooms I wish it could be more affordable, I would definitely stay more often.
The email for preferences was perfect!
Good location, friendly staff, prompt housekeeping. No swimming pool, there was one advertised. Oddly shaped and non ergonomic room layout.
Updated classic hotel. Clean, great staff, quiet, close to everything. The only thing on the downside is I couldn't stay longer.
the staff.very luxury place
I liked that we got to leave The elevators were broken, so here, carry your bags up five floors. The water in the shower was rusty There was no hear. The room was freezing cold. Freezing. The light in the bathroom was broken. The mattresses were awful. The beds are full size not queen. The whole hotel felt like The Shining. Terrifying atmosphere. Totally deserted. Icky.
Rooms need badly updated. I like the old decor of the building in the lobby, but the rooms haven't been updated since it opened.
The hotel had great paneling and was an impressive historic building. No one told me there was no air conditioning in the entire hotel. I visited during the hot/humid summer and it was excruciating.
Leaving to never return was the best part Unbelievable hot in rooms and staff didn't care
staff, classic feel heater in room wasnt very warm, blankets were goood ;)
The hotel looks very nice from the outside. Multiple restaurants and bars are within walking distance. The rooms and hallways have not been remodeled for many years/decades. Everything in the room just seemed old but not in an antique way. The bed was comfortable but the pillows were not.
Location is great NO AC Old and Outdated
Old design of building, WiFi and beds No free shuttle service ad listed since they had to cut back on staff, room was dirty and only cleaned daily if requested, lazy staff and no amenities. Most things c!osed down for remodel in September.
The shower was hot. The location and staff were good. Know they are looking at renovations, but it is past time to fix the hotel. The A/C didn't work throughout the building, and it was a sauna in the room. Had to open the windows on one of the hottest days of the year to 'cool' the room down. They offered refunds, and acknowledge the problem, but they should've called in advance. Also, parts of the ceiling were falling off. It's a beautiful building, it needs a major facelift and could be great.
Convenient downtown location The building was built 100 years ago, and the carpet and paint appear to be original. There is one central air conditioning unit for the entire building so summer is an especially bad time to stay here. Front desk staff barely looked up from her TV show during checkiin. I predict this hotel will be closed by fall.

The Penguins were without their star Sidney Crosby. But the Penguins go out and score seven goals without Sidney. Could it be true that the Penguins are better without Sidney. No! It just appears that way. While Sidney was gone for over a month it seems that the Penguins have learned to do well without Sidney. Which is probably a good thing because Sidney was out because of his ankle that he injured on January 8th of this year.

[quote:Son of Man:MV8yMDY3ODEzXzM1NzI2MDQzX0Y3ODBDNkQy] Elijah- Ye People Rend Your Hearts/If With all your Hearts- Ethan Brem [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLvPHF9qJlw[/youtube] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fLvPHF9qJlw [1] Understanding for Asaph. Attend, O my people, to my law: incline your ears to the words of my mouth. [2] I will open my mouth in parables: I will utter propositions from the beginning. [3] How great things have we heard and known, and our fathers have told us. [4] They have not been hidden from their children, in another generation. Declaring the praises of the Lord, and his powers, and his wonders which he hath done. [5] And he set up a testimony in Jacob: and made a law in Israel. How great things he commanded our fathers, that they should make the same known to their children: [6] That another generation might know them. The children that should be born and should rise up, and declare them to their children. [7] That they may put their hope in God and may not forget the works of God: and may seek his commandments. [8] That they may not become like their fathers, a perverse and exasperating generation. A generation that set not their heart aright: and whose spirit was not faithful to God. [9] The sons of Ephraim who bend and shoot with the bow: they have turned back in the day of battle. [10] They kept not the covenant of God: and in his law they would not walk. [11] And they forgot his benefits, and his wonders that he had shewn them. [12] Wonderful things did he do in the sight of their fathers, in the land of Egypt, in the field of Tanis. [13] He divided the sea and brought them through: and he made the waters to stand as in a vessel. [14] And he conducted them with a cloud by day: and all the night with a light of fire. [15] He struck the rock in the wilderness: and gave them to drink, as out of the great deep. [16] He brought forth water out of the rock: and made streams run down as rivers. [17] And they added yet more sin against him: they provoked the most High to wrath in the place without water. [18] And they tempted God in their hearts, by asking meat for their desires. [19] And they spoke ill of God: they said: Can God furnish a table in the wilderness? [20] Because he struck the rock, and the waters gushed out, and the streams overflowed. Can he also give bread, or provide a table for his people? [21] Therefore the Lord heard, and was angry: and a fire was kindled against Jacob, and wrath came up against Israel. [22] Because they believed not in God: and trusted not in his salvation. [23] And he had commanded the clouds from above, and had opened the doors of heaven. [24] And had rained down manna upon them to eat, and had given them the bread of heaven. [25] Man ate the bread of angels: he sent them provisions in abundance. [26] He removed the south wind from heaven: and by his power brought in the southwest wind. [27] And he rained upon them flesh as dust: and feathered fowls like as the sand of the sea. [28] And they fell in the midst of their camp, round about their pavilions. [29] So they did eat, and were filled exceedingly, and he gave them their desire: [30] They were not defrauded of that which they craved. As yet their meat was in their mouth: you make me stronger - kevin downswell [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-t-yDyRxFtE[/youtube] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-t-yDyRxFtE [31] And the wrath of God came upon them. And he slew the fat ones amongst them, and brought down the chosen men of Israel. [32] In all these things they sinned still: and they believed not for his wondrous works. [33] And their days were consumed in vanity, and their years in haste. [34] When he slew them, then they sought him: and they returned, and came to him early in the morning. [35] And they remembered that God was their helper: and the most high God their redeemer. [36] And they loved him with their mouth: and with their tongue they lied unto him: [37] But their heart was not right with him: nor were they counted faithful in his covenant. [38] But he is merciful, and will forgive their sins: and will not destroy them. And many a time did he turn away his anger: and did not kindle all his wrath. [39] And he remembered that they are flesh: a wind that goeth and returneth not. [40] How often did they provoke him in the desert: and move him to wrath in the place without water? [41] And they turned back and tempted God: and grieved the holy one of Israel. [42] They remembered not his hand, in the day that he redeemed them from the hand of him that afflicted them: [43] How he wrought his signs in Egypt, and his wonders in the field of Tanis. [44] And he turned their rivers into blood, and their showers that they might, not drink. [45] He sent amongst them divers sores of flies, which devoured them: and frogs which destroyed them. [46] And he gave up their fruits to the blast, and their labours to the locust. [47] And he destroyed their vineyards with hail, and their mulberry trees with hoarfrost. [48] And he gave up their cattle to the hail, and their stock to the fire. [49] And he sent upon them the wrath of his indignation: indignation and wrath and trouble, which he sent by evil angels. [50] He made a way for a path to his anger: he spared not their souls from death, and their cattle he shut up in death. [51] And he killed all the firstborn in the land of Egypt: the firstfruits of all their labour in the tabernacles of Cham. [52] And he took away his own people as sheep: and guided them in the wilderness like a flock. [53] And he brought them out in hope, and they feared not: and the sea overwhelmed their enemies. [54] And he brought them into the mountain of his sanctuary: the mountain which his right hand had purchased. And he cast out the Gentiles before them: and by lot divided to them their land by a line of distribution. [55] And he made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tabernacles. Crystal Lewis-Lord I Believe In you [youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovk3VmoV5cY[/youtube] http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ovk3VmoV5cY [56] Yet they tempted, and provoked the most high God: and they kept not his testimonies. [57] And they turned away, and kept not the covenant: even like their fathers they were turned aside as a crooked bow. [58] They provoked him to anger on their hills: and moved him to jealousy with their graven things. [59] God heard, and despised them, and he reduced Israel exceedingly as it were to nothing. [60] And he put away the tabernacle of Silo, his tabernacle where he dwelt among men. [61] And he delivered their strength into captivity: and their beauty into the hands of the enemy. [62] And he shut up his people under the sword: and he despised his inheritance. [63] Fire consumed their young men: and their maidens were not lamented. [64] Their priests fell by the sword: and their widows did not mourn. [65] And the Lord was awaked as one out of sleep, and like a mighty man that hath been surfeited with wine. [66] And he smote his enemies on the hinder parts: he put them to an everlasting reproach. [67] And he rejected the tabernacle of Joseph: and chose not the tribe of Ephraim: [68] But he chose the tribe of Juda, mount Sion which he loved. [69] And he built his sanctuary as of unicorns, in the land which he founded for ever. [70] And he chose his servant David, and took him from the flocks of sheep: he brought him from following the ewes great with young, [71] To feed Jacob his servant, and Israel his inheritance. [72] And he fed them in the innocence of his heart: and conducted them by the skillfulness of his hands. :pope::pope::pope: [/quote]

Proverbs 1: [22] O children, how long will you love childishness, and fools covet those things which are hurtful to themselves, and the unwise hate knowledge?[23] Turn ye at my reproof: behold I will utter my spirit to you, and will shew you my words.
Psalms 74:[5] I said to the wicked: Do not act wickedly: and to the sinners: Lift not up your horns.
[6] Lift not up your horns on high: speak not iniquity against God. [7] For neither from the east, nor from the west, nor from the desert hills: [8] For God is the judge. One he putteth down, and another he lifteth up:
[9] For in the hand of the Lord there is a cup of strong wine full of mixture. And he hath poured it out from this to that: but the dregs thereof are not emptied: all the sinners of the earth shall drink.
Isaias (Isaiah) 56:[8] The Lord God, who gathereth the scattered of Israel, saith: I will still gather unto him his congregation. [9] All ye beasts of the field come to devour, all ye beasts of the forest. [10] His watchmen are all blind, they are all ignorant: dumb dogs not able to bark, seeing vain things, sleeping and loving dreams.
[11] And meet impudent dogs, they never had enough: the shepherds themselves knew no understanding: all have turned aside into their own way, every one after his own gain, from the first even to the last. [12] Come, let us take wine, and be filled with drunkenness: and it shall be as today, so also tomorrow, and much more.
Proverbs 15: [8] The victims of the wicked are abominable to the Lord: the vows of the just are acceptable. [9] The way of the wicked is an abomination to the Lord: he that followeth justice is beloved by him.
Jeremias (Jeremiah) 4: [19] My bowels, my bowels are in pain, the senses of my heart are troubled within me, I will not hold my peace, for my soul hath heard the sound of the trumpet, the cry of battle. [20] Destruction upon destruction is called for, and all the earth is laid waste: my tents are destroyed on a sudden, and my pavilions in a moment.
[21] How long shall I see men fleeing away, how long shall I hear the sound of the trumpet? [22] For my foolish people have not known me: they are foolish and senseless children: they are wise to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.[23] I beheld the earth, and lo it was void, and nothing: and the heavens, and there was no light in them. [24] I looked upon the mountains, and behold they trembled: and all the hills were troubled. [25] I beheld, and lo there was no man: and all the birds of the air were gone.
Psalms 36:[10] For yet a little while, and the wicked shall not be: and thou shalt seek his place, and shalt not find it.
[11] But the meek shall inherit the land, and shall delight in abundance of peace. [12] The sinner shall watch the just man: and shall gnash upon him with his teeth.
[13] But the Lord shall laugh at him: for he foreseeth that his day shall come. [14] The wicked have drawn out the sword: they have bent their bow. To cast down the poor and needy, to kill the upright of heart. [15] Let their sword enter into their own hearts, and let their bow be broken.
[16] Better is a little to the just, than the great riches of the wicked. [17] For the arms of the wicked shall be broken in pieces; but the Lord strengtheneth the just. [18] The Lord knoweth the days of undefiled; and their inheritance shall be for ever. [19] They shall not be confounded in the evil time; and in the days of famine they shall be filled: [20] Because the wicked shall perish. And the enemies of the Lord, presently after they shall be honoured and exalted, shall come to nothing and vanish like smoke.
Isaias (Isaiah) 59:[1] Behold the hand of the Lord is not shortened that it cannot save, neither is his ear heavy that it cannot hear. [2] But your iniquities have divided between you and your God, and your sins have hid his face from you that he should not hear.
[3] For your hands are defiled with blood, and your fingers with iniquity: your lips have spoken lies, and your tongue uttereth iniquity. [4] There is none that calleth upon justice, neither is there any one that judgeth truly: but they trust in a mere nothing, and speak vanities: they have conceived labour, and brought forth iniquity.

Jeremias (Jeremiah) 23: [23] Am I, think ye, a God at hand, saith the Lord, and not a God afar off? [24] Shall a man be hid in secret places, and I not see him, saith the Lord? do not I fill heaven and earth, saith the Lord? [25] I have heard what the prophets said, that prophesy lies in my name, and say: I have dreamed, I have dreamed.
[26] How long shall this be in the heart of the prophets that prophesy lies, and that prophesy the delusions of their own heart? [27] Who seek to make my people forget my name through their dreams, which they tell every man to his neighbour: as their fathers forgot my name for Baal.
Deuteronomy 32: [4] The works of God are perfect, and all his ways are judgments: God is faithful and without any iniquity, he is just and right.[5] They have sinned against him, and are nose of his children in their filth: they are a wicked and perverse generation.
Isaias (Isaiah) 59: [7] Their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are unprofitable thoughts: wasting and destruction are in their ways. [8] They have not known the way of peace, and there is no judgment in their steps: their paths are become crooked to them, every one that treadeth in them, knoweth no peace.
[9] Therefore is judgment far from us, and justice shall not overtake us. We looked for light, and behold darkness: brightness, and we have walked in the dark. [10] We have groped for the wall, and like the blind we have groped as if we had no eyes: we have stumbled at noonday as in darkness, we are in dark places as dead men.
[11] We shall roar all of us like bears, and shall lament as mournful doves. We have looked for judgment, and there is none: for salvation, and it is far from us. [12] For our iniquities are multiplied before thee, and our sins have testified against us: for our wicked doings are with us, and we have known our iniquities:
[13] In sinning and lying against the Lord: and we have turned away so that we went not after our God, but spoke calumny and transgression: we have conceived, and uttered from the heart, words of falsehood. [14] And judgment is turned away backward, and justice hath stood far off: because truth hath fallen down in the street, and equity could not come in. [15] And truth hath been forgotten: and he that departed from evil, lay open to be a prey: and the Lord saw, and it appeared evil in his eyes, because there is no judgment.
[16] And he saw that there is not a man: and he stood astonished, because there is none to oppose himself:
[15] I know thy works, that thou art neither cold, nor hot. I would thou wert cold, or hot.
[16] But because thou art lukewarm, and neither cold, not hot, I will begin to vomit thee out of my mouth. [17] Because thou sayest: I am rich, and made wealthy, and have need of nothing: and knowest not, that thou art wretched, and miserable, and poor, and blind, and naked.
[18] I counsel thee to buy of me gold fire tried, that thou mayest be made rich; and mayest be clothed in white garments, and that the shame of thy nakedness may not appear; and anoint thy eyes with eyesalve, that thou mayest see. [19] Such as I love, I rebuke and chastise. Be zealous therefore, and do penance. [20] Behold, I stand at the gate, and knock. If any man shall hear my voice, and open to me the door, I will come in to him, and will sup with him, and he with me.
[21] To him that shall overcome, I will give to sit with me in my throne: as I also have overcome, and am set down with my Father in his throne. [22] He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith to the churches.
Abdias (Obadiah) 1:[15] For the day of the Lord is at hand upon all nations: as thou hast done, so shall it be done to thee: he will turn thy reward upon thy own head.
Isaias (Isaiah)66:[15] For behold the Lord will come with fire, and his chariots are like a whirlwind, to render his wrath in indignation, and his rebuke with flames of fire.
[16] For the Lord shall judge by fire, and by his sword unto all flesh, and the slain of the Lord shall be many.
[17] They that were sanctified, and thought themselves clean in the gardens behind the gate within, they that did eat swine's flesh, and the abomination, and the mouse: they shall be consumed together, saith the Lord.

Associate Sports Editor
One would think Hudson head gymnastics coach Randi Chepke has seen it all.
She has coached a state champion and has guided multiple teams to the state meet during her seven-year tenure.
But the 2013-14 Lady Explorers have a knack for making Chepke's jaw drop to the floor.
"These girls surprise me each and every time they hit the floor," she said. "Each competition pulls something new out of them -- something we don't always get to see at practice. It's amazing."
Hudson will have at least one more week to amaze its coach.
The Lady Explorers advanced to the Division I district competition after placing second at a sectional meet Feb. 16 at West Geauga High School in Chesterland.
Hudson scored 139.2 points. Mentor won the 13-team competition with 140.825 points. Also qualifying for districts mere Stow-Munroe Falls (131.075) and Nordonia (130.25).
And to top it off, the Lady Explorers earned the team sportsmanship award after the meet.
Hudson is scheduled to compete at a Division I district meet Feb. 22 at West Geauga.
The competition is set to begin at 10 a.m.
"Moving on as a team was our primary goal," Chepke said. "Accomplishing that would have been more than enough, but advancing seven out of our eight competitors is just unbelievable. I am so incredibly proud of them all."
The top 12 individuals in each event advanced to a district meet, which is scheduled to take place Feb. 22 at West Geauga High School. The action is set to begin at 10 a.m.
Mackenzie Miller led the Lady Explorers with second-place finishes on bars (8.95) and the floor exercise (9.15). Teammate Riley Skinner took third on the floor exercise (9.125) placed 11th on the balance beam (8.575).
Freshman Macy Lori also had a big meet.
She placed fifth on bars with a score of 8.825 and eighth on the balance beam (8.8).
She finished ninth in the all-around competition (34.025).
"I'm very happy about making it to districts and glad I was able to do my part," Lori said.
Jenni Spencer advanced in two events and the all-around competition.
She placed seventh on vault (8.925), ninth on the floor exercise (8.65) and 12th in the all-around scoring (33.9).
Also qualifying were Jordan Miller on bars (10th, 8.65), Megan Urbanic on vault (11th, 8.675) and the all-around competition (11th, 33.925) and Katie Goosmann on bars (11th, 8.65).
"No one athlete deserves any more kudos than the next," Chepke said. "Each one of them did something extraordinary.
"Riley, Mac and Jenni are all making repeat appearances at districts. Jordan, Megan, Katie and Macy are all first-timers as individuals.
This truly was an all-out team effort. What more can a coach ask for?"
Jordan Miller, a senior captain, and her teammates are planning to make the most of their opportunity.
"We feel great about advancing," Jordan Miller said. "We are so pumped for districts."
If the Lady Explorers can put together another performance like this, they have a chance to qualify for the state meet for the second consecutive year.
The top five teams and top 16 individuals in each event advance to the state competition.
"It will be an uphill battle all the way to Columbus, but if they can focus on the things they do well and minimize our everyday struggles, they will get there," Chepke said.

Former NCAR scientist Holly Gilbert to race in Phil's honor
Phil Judge.
Phil Judge, who was diagnosed with multiple myeloma in 2003, is happy to be back in his office focusing his attention on solar physics again. He returned to full-time work in July.
"It's wonderful to be able to attack some problems in depth again, especially now that fantastic data from the Hinode spacecraft and HAO's CoMP instrument have come online," he says. "I am working with colleagues old and new in HAO and am greatly indebted to NCAR, especially HAO director Michael Knölker, for continued support and understanding."
Multiple myeloma, a blood cancer of plasma cells which originates at the stem cell level, is an incurable but treatable disease. In 2003, Phil underwent months of treatment, including emergency spinal surgery, a stem cell transplant, and radiation. (See "On the Web" for more about how UCAR's benefits aided his battle against cancer.)
"I have been so fortunate over the last few years," Phil says. "So many things had to happen just for me to continue to live."
A near-fatal relapse while traveling in Europe during the summer of 2004 culminated in a stem cell transplant from his sister, Claire, to rebuild healthy bone marrow. A consequence of this lifesaving treatment is the rejection of his own body by his sister's immune system, a condition called "graft versus host disease." Because one result of this is increased susceptibility to infection, Phil warns colleagues not to expect to see him in person a full 40 hours each week.
UCAR's flextime policy has been especially helpful for Phil. From February 2003 to June 2007, he worked part-time from his home. He was able to publish six scientific papers and write 40% of a book on coronal heating, as well as carry out other work-related activities.
Holly Gilbert, a former HAO staffer who is presently at Rice University, is training to run the Houston Aramco ½ Marathon in Phil's honor in January. Her participation will raise money for the Leukemia and Lymphoma Society, which addresses multiple myeloma and other blood cancers.
"I'm completing this event in honor of all individuals who are battling blood cancers, but specifically in honor of Phil, friend and former colleague," Holly says. "His strength and positive attitude throughout his battle are nothing short of inspiring."
"I am so delighted that Holly decided to do this," Phil says. "The kind of fundraising that she's participating in is particularly important right now as real progress continues to be made toward cures for some of these nasty diseases."
Phil describes himself as on the verge of death in 2004, when his doctor found a research article published two months earlier describing a treatment previously applied to sufferers of non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. They decided to try it.
"The experiment obviously worked and has been applied to more than a dozen patients in the center where I was treated since then," Phil says. "So research really saves lives."

Division I Championship Game - 2017 NWBTPosted by National Wheelchair Basketball Association on Sunday, April 2, 2017
April 12-15, 2018 in Louisville, KY
The NWBA is excited to announce a Team Prize Package Giveaway for teams registering during the Early Team Registration session for the 2017-2018 season. The Early Team Registration officially opens on Monday, July 17 at 2 p.m. Mountain time.
You must complete the 2017-18 NWBA Team Registration during the Early Team Registration session to be eligible for the Team Prize Package Giveaway. Ten winners will be selected at random. The prize packs that are up for grabs are detailed below.
Team USA's Steve Serio has won the ESPY Award for Best Male Athlete with a Disability at the 25th Annual ESPY Awards on ABC. This was the first time that Serio has been nominated and the first time a wheelchair basketball athlete has won the prestigious award. Serio's teammate Matt Scott was an ESPY Award finalist in 2008.
Serio was nominated for this category after a leading Team USA to the gold medal at the Rio Paralympics last summer. The Rio Games was Serio's third appearance in the Paralympics and his first gold medal. Not only his first personal gold medal but the U.S. Men's Wheelchair Basketball Team's first gold medal since 1988. Serio served as the team's co-captain and scored an outstanding 43 points in the last three games along with 23 rebounds and 30 assists.
It was a hard fought feat to bring the gold back to U.S. and it paid off by being nominated for such an award. Having the gold back in U.S. meant a lot to this hard working co –captain and now ESPY award winner. "I was surprised to even get nominated for this award, let alone win my category. It is truly a representation of our sport and the accomplishments we made in Rio," said Serio.
Serio, a three-time U.S. Paralympian, has been in Los Angeles preparing for the awards show and red carpet appearances since Tuesday, alongside his brother, Luke.
Serio's category included other top Paralympic Athletes Will Groulx, Mike Minor, Brad Snyder and Roderick Townsend all whom competed at the 2016 Paralympic Games. Last year's winner of this award went to sprinter Richard Browne but 2017 was Steve Serio's year for the victory on the court.
Serio commented directly after receiving his award, "It's truly humbling to win this award. I would like to thank my family and friends back home and to everyone who voted this year. Also a very special thanks to my teammates from Rio and this award is a direct reflection of all of our hard work, dedication, and sacrifices."
The NWBA congratulates and salutes Steve Serio on quite an honor of being recognized as the Best Male Athlete with a Disability at the 25th Annual ESPY Awards.
NWBA Board of Directors Re-Elects Sarah Castle as President
COLORADO SPRINGS, COLORADO – The NWBA Board of Directors re-elected Sarah Castle as President for a two-year term, on Monday's teleconference call. The Board of Directors also elected the other officer positions, who will also be serving two-year terms.
Castle, a four-time U.S. Paralympian in swimming and wheelchair basketball, will continue serving as NWBA President. She won a gold medal in 2008 in wheelchair basketball, and is a 2000 silver medalist in swimming. Professionally, Castle is an Assistant Prosecuting Attorney in Kansas City, Missouri. She was first elected as president in 2015.
Bruce Fischbach and Curtis Lease were re-elected as vice president and treasurer, respectively. Tim Fox, who was recently re-elected to the board of directors, was elected as the secretary.
Fischbach has dedicated his time working with Special Olympics, minor league baseball, youth athletics and athletes in the NWBA. He has also served as a tournament director and junior conference commissioner for the NWBA. He is the Assistant Athletic Director for sports medicine at University of South Dakota. His wife, Kelly, is active with wheelchair basketball as well, and coaches the University of Nebraska-Omaha and Nebraska Red Dawgs Teams.
Lease will continue his position as treasurer and is currently the business manager at Western DuPage Special Recreation Association. Curtis played for the Chicago Wheelchair Bulls and was among 24 NWBA players that were chosen to play for the NWBA East All-Star Team.
Tim Fox takes over the secretary position that was previously filled by Scott Voskovitch, who resigned in April. Fox is currently the head coach and general manager of the Cleveland Wheelchair Cavaliers. One of Fox's major accomplishments was helping establish the Junior Wheelchair Cavaliers. Fox has also served as a member of the NWBA Division III Committee. He is currently the Assistant Vice President Branch Manger for PNC Bank.
University of Texas Arlington, one of the most successful collegiate wheelchair basketball schools, has seen a whole new level of play on their courts this week. The U.S. Women's National Team takes to the road at UTA Mavericks home courts this past week for one of its last camps prior to the America's Qualifier in Columbia. UTA has won seven national championships, and nearly every member of their roster year after year is named to the First-Team All-American squad.
Of this reputable roster are U.S. Women's National Team members Abby Dunkin, Josie Aslakson and Morgan Wood all current UTA Mavericks. I sat down with the three women to discuss having the National Team with multiple Paralympic Gold Medalists on their college home court in front of their teammates and paying right alongside them.
UTA's rich history of wheelchair basketball success brings a sense of urgency and inspiration to the atmosphere of the auxiliary gym the team is hosting camp at. All three women agree the atmosphere is a lot more excited than usual and a lot of Maverick players, UTA students, faculty and staff were in attendance at practices and scrimmages. Recent Paralympic gold medalist and UTA Senior Abby Dunkin mentioned, "The atmosphere is more intense and exciting but the University is humbled to have Team USA on campus and it motivates a lot of our UTA teammates and gets them excited for what we are doing as a college team as well."
The winning Culture at UTA transitions nicely into the USA Team Camp. Practice sessions have been run at a high confident level and even with a mix of new and different players everyone is performing at the same level and everyone adjusts to the elite level of play. The confidence illuminates from the players with a home court advantage like fellow UTA Grad Student Morgan Wood. "Playing with the best in the world on my home court gives you this chip on your shoulder and you know you deserve to be there. I am also a lot more comfortable playing in my own gym and in front of everyone I know," added Wood.
UTA Senior Josie Aslakson added, "There is a lot of pressure playing on your home court, but I was pleasantly surprised to have training camp here on campus and it is nice not to have to travel." These three young athletes feel humbled that the National Team came to them and they are able to show them the Maverick culture for the week and be one step a head out on their home court with their own rims where they've won a multitude of championships.
Training Camp began on Sunday July 9 and will finish on Thursday July 13. Training sessions all week are inclusive of conditioning, shooting practices, weight lifting, scrimmages and team meetings. It is a full week for the National Team but with the help of Maverick favorites Dunkin, Aslakson and Wood all the girls should feel a little more comfortable on the UTA campus.
Michael E. Stephens passed away on July 1 at the age of 73. Stephens had been an advocate of the adaptive sports community for many years and always strived for the best programs, tools and opportunities for rehabilitation programs for the physically disabled. Stephens had been injured himself in 1970 from a car accident. He suffered a long-term spinal-cord injury that changed his life forever.
Like most severe injuries do, it changed Stephen's life purpose and passion in career and hobby. He wanted to be a great social influencer and make a personal impact on people who had suffered similar injuries. After attending the University of Alabama at Birmingham he became the executive director of the Lakeshore Hospital. He wanted the hospital to offer the best rehabilitation center and eliminate services that tampered with the recovery process.
"With great sadness the NWBA wants to send condolences to Michael Stephen's family. Mr. Stephen passed away on July 1. He has been a profound leader in our community since the 1970s after he suffered a spinal-cord injury. He later started the Lakeshore Foundation and also served on the USOC Leadership Council. He was a tremendous visionary with a lot of passion for rehabilitation and programs that supported the physically disabled. We are very saddened by the news of his passing, keep his family in your thoughts! Mr. Stephen will be missed." –Sarah Castle NWBA President
Nearly 10 years after starting at the hospital, he became the founder and CEO of the Lakeshore Foundation. He grew the foundation to have 46 rehabilitation facilities in 12 states. He offered sports, recreation fitness and research for all people with physical disabilities.
He created an environment of supportive people, passion driven members and changed the paradigm of rehabilitation world wide. He was later on the Board of Directors for the Lakeshore Foundation and served on the USOC Leadership Council and Chairman's Circle. He was a supreme visionary, advocate for the community for people with disabilities and angel to those in the rehabilitation programs. He did a tremendous amount for his community, the medical word, adaptive sport and the rehabilitation world. He will be truly missed in our community.
NWBA Hall of Fame Chairman Frank Burns had this to say about the impact Stephens made, "Mike Stephens believed in the power of sport for persons with disabilities during the rehabilitation process, especially for the sport of wheelchair basketball. He taught me as a coach, to train wheelchair athletes, don't try to rehabilitate them as he believed sport participation and competition is therapeutic for everyone. Wheelchair basketball has lost one of its greatest pioneers."
ESPY Nomination Day was just another relaxing afternoon at home for Steve Serio. A friend's text broke the news to Serio that he had in fact been nominated for Best Male Athlete with a Disability. The three-time Paralympian, also a two- time medalist, with his latest hardware being Gold from the Rio Paralympic Games. As co-captain of the U.S. team he scored 42 points in the last three games, while also having 23 rebounds and 30 assists, but he will humbly note, "My statistics aren't impressive at all, it was a team effort and a team victory."
Even more humbly, Serio mentions being nominated for this award is no reflection of him as a player but of his team and the entire basketball community. As both Olympic and Paralympic basketball teams won gold for United States. Serio thinks his nomination is proving that the sport is evolving in all aspects and even more so with wheelchair basketball, people are becoming bigger fans and knowing more about the sport, it's history, success and future on U.S. soil.
Serio is nominated in this category alongside Will Groulx, Mike Minor, Brad Snyder and Roderick Townsend. Of the four incredible Paralympic athletes Serio knows Groulx who in fact was a former rugby player turned hand cyclist. As well as Snyder whom Serio cheered on in the Games as he won three gold medals and a silver in Rio in Swimming. He is looking forward to reconnecting with all of the guys in his category at the show. Serio notes how respectable all four athletes are but cordially jokes to the fans, "Do your best and vote for me, it is not a vote just for me but a vote for our sport and for the future of our sport to get on the map."
Serio plans on brining his younger brother as his guest to the ESPY Awards which air on ABC, Wednesday July 12. He claims they haven't gotten to do a lot since Serio moved away from home five years ago. He adds his brother is a huge sports fan and hopes to meet New York Giants superstar Odell Beckham. "If he is at the show we will do whatever it takes to get a picture with him, that would just be awesome," commented Serio.
As far as red carpet attire goes, he has yet to figure out his outfit for the evening but mentions teammate and former ESPY nominee and four-time U.S. Paralympian Matt Scott has been giving him lots of style tips. "Matt has been telling me all the things I need to do to get ready. He has been to the ESPY Awards before and has been helping me figure out what to wear and giving me some tips since he knows what he's doing. It's something I need to figure out when I get home so I have a swag outfit," mentioned Serio.
If Serio does win the ESPY Award for Best Male Athlete with a Disability, he has a few people he wants to thank. First and foremost, his family who have helped him with traveling and all his success the last 10 years of his career. Serio is very close with his family and hopes if he does win the award it means something more to them. He also of course wants to thank all of his teammates and wants to know this award isn't for him personally but for all the success of each and every member in Rio. "All my successes are going to them," stated Serio.
July 12 will be a big night for the Sports World but more importantly for three time Paralympian Steve Serio and all of the wheelchair basketball community world-wide. There is still time to vote for Serio at ESPN.com under his specific category. It will be an awesome night hosted by NFL star Peyton Manning. Be sure to tune in to ABC July 12 at 7 PM central. Congrats to Serio once again and the rest of the U.S. Men's National Wheelchair Basketball team and good luck!
