LOYOLA-RIDER SERIES HISTORY: Rider leads the series, 20-14. Loyola has won three of the last four in the series and three of the last four played in Alumni Gymnasium.
LAST TIME OUT: After missing six of its first seven shots, Niagara missed just six more the rest of the half to build a 41-28 lead at the intermission and Loyola could get no closer than six points in an 86-77 Purple Eagles win Sunday afternoon at Reitz Arena. The Greyhounds shot half (.185) of their season average (.374) from three-point range, making just five of their season-high 27 shots from beyond the arc. Senior guard Brett Harvey led Loyola with 18 points and junior guard Brian Rudolph added 15. Off the bench, sophomore guard J'hared Hall chipped in with 14 points and freshman forward Julius Brooks scored a career-high 10 points and matched his career-best with eight rebounds.
HARVEY RETURNS TO STARTING LINEUP: After finally returning to the lineup in the January 23 game at Marist, senior guard Brett Harvey has been back in the starting lineup the last two games and averaged 16.5 points in those contests. Loyola played all but 20 minutes without its senior captain over a six-game stretch. Before missing the Siena home game on January 4, he had played in 109 consecutive games and had not missed any playing time due to an injury since his freshman season. He was named the Player of the Week by both the MAAC (Co-Player) and the Jesuit Basketball Spotlight after his heroics in the win at Indiana when he scored nine straight points during Loyola's 10-2 run to end the game and erase a three-point deficit. He reached 1,000 career points during a season-high 28-point effort at Canisius in December, became the 38th player in Loyola history to play in 100 career games in November at Mount St. Mary's and became the seventh player to surpass 350 career assists at Indiana.
RUDOLPH NOTCHES CAREER HIGH: One game after matching his season highs with 13 points and seven assists at Siena, junior guard Brian Rudolph scored a season- and team-best 18 points in the road win at Marist. He made five of eight attempts from the field and eight of his 10 foul shots to tally one shy of his career high. Since not playing in the home game against Siena, he is averaging 10.5 points, 3.3 rebounds and 4.1 assists while shooting 42.0 percent (29-69) in 34.0 minutes played over the eight games. His four assists Sunday against Niagara tied him with teammate Brett Harvey for seventh all-time.
BROOKS HAS CAREER GAME: Not starting for the first time in his career, freshman forward Julius Brooks responded with a career game. He matched his career-high for rebounds with eight and established a new career-high for scoring with 10 points, including making four of his six free-throw attempts. Previously, four times this season he had scored eight points in a game and he first grabbed eight boards in the win at Dartmouth. He had started all 20 of his appearances this season, not dressing for the game at Niagara with an illness. In his last four games, he is averaging 5.0 points and 6.0 rebounds while shooting 53.3 percent (8-15) in 21.0 minutes played. His 4.4 rebounding average ranks third on the team.
STARTING, COMING OFF BENCH - EITHER IS JUST FINE WITH HALL: Since starting four straight games while senior guard Brett Harvey was out with an injury, the confidence gained by sophomore guard J'hared Hall has continued as he is currently coming off the bench. Receiving his first stat this season in the Marist home game, Hall entered the contest averaging 2.5 points per game and bettered that by draining a three-pointer on the first shot of the game. He had 10 points by halftime and his three-pointer with 71 seconds remaining gave Loyola a 66-58 lead en route to scoring a career-high 16 points. His five three-pointers in that outing equaled the 16th-best performance in school history. Given significant minutes over the last six games, he is averaging 11.2 points while shooting 44.4 percent (24-54) from the field and 42.4 percent (14-33) from three-point range in 27.0 minutes played over that time period.
OLSON'S AMONG MAAC'S TOP FRESHMEN: After scoring a career-high 20 points to lead Loyola to the home win over Marist, freshman guard Robert Olson was recognized by the MAAC as its Co-Rookie of the Week on January 19. In that game, he became the fourth MAAC freshman this season to tally 20 or more points in a contest, joining Fairfield's Derek Needham, Iona's Kyle Smyth and Marist's Sam Prescott. The Silver Spring native averaged 11.3 points for the week while shooting 52.2 percent (12-23) from the field and making four of his eight three-point attempts and all five of his free throws. He has scored in double figures in five of his last eight games - the only five double-figure scoring outings of his career - while averaging 9.8 points and shooting 42.2 percent (27-64) from the field and 86.7 percent (13-15) from the foul line. Earlier this season, he collected six steals at UMBC, the fifth-best single game outing later matched by sophomore forward Anthony Winbush in the win at Indiana.
WRIGHT ADDS BENCH PUNCH: Before starting Sunday against Niagara, senior forward Jawaan Wright had come up big off the bench during a five-game stretch. He did not miss a shot in scoring eight points in the home win over Marist and missed just one shot en route to 11 points with seven rebounds at Marist. Over the five-game stretch, he has averaged 6.6 points and 5.0 rebounds while shooting 65.0 percent (13-20) from the floor in 18.0 minutes off the bench. All those numbers earned him the start Sunday and he scored four points with four rebounds before fouling out.
WALKER BLOCKING THE PATH: Sophomore forward Shane Walker collected six blocks in the home win over Marist to set a career high and match the sixth-best single-game total in school history. His 35 blocked shots on the season is already the seventh highest number in school annals with at least eight games to be played. He added eight points, six rebounds and a career-best four assists in that game and followed that with consecutive 13-point outings. The first double-double of his career came in the win at Dartmouth, matching his career-high with 14 points and grabbing a career-best 11 rebounds. Third on the team in scoring (8.4 ppg), he is the team's leading rebounder at 6.3 boards per game.
LEWIS IS A SUPER-SUB: Senior guard Tony Lewis provided a much-needed lift in the home game with Fairfield, matching his season-high with 14 points off the bench. He connected on five of his six tries from the field, including a pair of three-pointers, and both of his free throws. He also added three assists, two rebounds and a blocked shot in just 19 minutes. The effort was the second time in five games that he has reached double figures. He averaged 6.4 points and 3.4 rebounds and shooting 61.1 percent (11-18) from the field, 57.1 percent (4-7) from three-point range and 75.0 percent (6-8) from the foul line while playing 14.2 minutes per game over that stretch.
KELLY SURPASSES CAREER POINTS IN ONE GAME: In search of a shooter at Siena, senior forward Garrett Kelly was given a chance and he responded. Entering the game with eight career points, he made four field goals - three of them being the first three-pointers of his career - for a career-best 11 points in 16 minutes. The Times Union Center was the site of his first career basket, that coming in last year's MAAC Tournament game with Canisius. Three of his baskets came during a stretch of 2:34 during the second half, one bucket tying the game and the two others stretching Loyola's lead to five. He received the first start of his career earlier this month when the Greyhounds hosted Siena.
WANDRUSCH ADDED TO ROSTER: After joining the program as a manager in the fall, freshman guard Luke Wandrusch has been added to the active roster as a walk-on. He dressed for the first time at Bucknell and saw the first game action of his career in the home game against Siena, playing one minute without recording a statistic.
BLOCKING IT OUT: One of Loyola's weaknesses last season was the consistency of its front line. That has been improved dramatically with additions to the roster and is being proven through block shot totals that have been recorded thus far. Sophomore forward Shane Walker leads the team with 35 blocks through 21 games and two other players have 18 or more. Walker recorded six blocks in the home win over Marist and senior forward Jawaan Wright collected four rejections at Saint Peter's. The Greyhounds collected nine blocked shots at Coppin State, equaling the third-best single-game effort in school history. Loyola rejected eight shots in the season-opening win over Vermont and matched that number in home games against both Iona, Marist and Thursday against Fairfield. The Greyhounds blocked 29 shots in a recent four-game stretch, an average of 7.3 blocks per game.
STARTING LINEUP: Last year, every Greyhounds player on the roster with the exception of walk-on Garrett Kelly made at least one start during the season, meaning 12 of the 13 eligible players opened the game on the floor. This year, nine lineups have been tested out with three newcomers - sophomore forward Shane Walker and freshmen Julius Brooks and Robert Olson - among the starting five 18 times.
FIRST-HALF SHOOTING PAVES THE WAY: For the eighth time this season, the Greyhounds shot better than 50 percent in the first half when they connected on 58.6 percent (17-29) in the win at Marist. That matched the second-best outing of the season first performed in the win at Indiana. Loyola is 6-2 in those eight games with the losses at No. 8 West Virginia and at Siena.
THE DEFENSE DOESN'T REST: For the third time this season, the Greyhounds held an opponent to under 50 points, allowing Saint Peter's just 48. The last time Loyola gave up less than 50 points for three games in a season was 1979-1980 when the program competed in Division II. The 41 points allowed at Dartmouth was the first time in seven years that an opponent was held under 50 points and was the lowest point total in 26 seasons.
SHOOTING THE THREE: The Greyhounds connected on 13 three-pointers in the home win over Marist, tying the fourth-best total in school history. Of the top nine long-range performances at Loyola, five of those have come under sixth-year head coach Jimmy Patsos and four of those have taken place in Reitz Arena.
BIGGEST WIN EVER?: The win at Indiana has sparked discussion on its place among Loyola's wins during its 100-year history. Certainly, it is the biggest regular-season win since the program elevated to Division I in 1981-1982. It was the Greyhounds' first win over a Big Ten member in eight tries and first-ever victory over a team with multiple National Championships, having lost 10 straight to teams with that pedigree. Head coach Jimmy Patsos has made a commitment to a scheduling philosophy that experiences college basketball's history and Assembly Hall is the fourth building in the last four years in which more than one National Championship banner hangs that the Greyhounds have played.
FINDING THE SHOOTING TOUCH: Through nine games, Loyola was shooting just 39.5 percent from the field and 33.3 percent from three-point range. Following the 10-day break for final exams, the Greyhounds reversed those numbers. Loyola shot a blistering 81.5 percent (22-27) in the second half of its win over Howard, finishing at 69.6 percent (32-46) for the second-best performance in school history. It made its first six three-point tries and ended at 75.0 percent (9-12) for the game, also the second-best effort in school annals. The Greyhounds shot 58.6 percent (17-29) in the first half at Indiana and finished at 53.3 percent (24-45) against the defensive-minded Hoosiers. It was the first time Loyola connected on better than 50 percent in consecutive wins since triumphs at Siena and at home against Niagara in January 2007. For the two games, the Greyhounds shot 61.5 percent (56-91), including 60.7 percent (17-28) from three-point range.
RECORD SHOOTING LEADS TO RECORD WIN: When the shooting is clicking along with solid defense, a team can build a comfortable margin of victory. That was the case in the win over Howard as Loyola's 34-point score differential is its largest over a Division I opponent since elevating the program full-time to Division I in 1981-82. The Greyhounds had previously beaten non-Division I opponents by larger margins in their history.
TURNING 100: Loyola men's basketball turns 100 this season as it competes in its 100th recorded season. The first season was 1908-1909 and last year was the celebration of the 100th anniversary of that first season. This season is the 100th with two seasons being lost to World War I (1917-1918 and 1918-1919). The Greyhounds enter tonight with a record of 1136-1176 (.491) all-time.
WE ARE LOYOLA UNIVERSITY MARYLAND: On September 25, the institution officially changed its designation to Loyola University Maryland. The first college in the United States to bear the name of Saint Ignatius Loyola, the change reflects the University's commitment toward becoming the nation's leading Catholic, comprehensive university. So, please, when referring to us, we are "Loyola University Maryland".
LONG-TIME AD BOYLAN TO RETIRE: After guiding Greyhounds athletics for nearly two decades, Athletic Director Joe Boylan announced his retirement in October, effective June 30, 2010. An associate men's basketball head coach to Tom Young at Rutgers for 12 seasons that included a Final Four berth in 1976 prior to becoming an administrator, Boylan has been the driving force behind Loyola's athletic growth since his arrival. The Greyhounds have captured 56 MAAC titles and counting during his tenure.
GREYHOUNDS ADD TWO FOR NEXT SEASON: The Men's Basketball program added two players to the roster during the early signing period. Justin Drummond, a 6-4 guard from Washington, D.C. who is playing at Riverdale Baptist HS, and Dylon Cormier, a 6-1 guard from Baltimore who plays at Cardinal Gibbons HS, each signed National Letters of Intent and will enroll in Loyola next fall. The pair played against each other at Cardinal Gibbons on January 19 with Cormier's 39 points leading his team to a win as Drummond scored 19.
GREYHOUNDS ON THE TUBE: A minimum of seven Loyola contests will receive national or regional television exposure this season and that number could swell to as many as 11. The Greyhounds' final televised contest is Feb. 14 when Loyola visits Iona in a MAAC TV production that will appear on MASN.
ESPN RADIO 1300 HOME TO GREYHOUNDS AGAIN: For the third consecutive season, Baltimore's ESPN Radio 1300 will be the home for select Loyola radio games. All home games not picked up by ESPN Radio 1300 will be live streamed on www.LoyolaGreyhounds.com. Mark Zinno (play-by-play) is joined by analysts Gary Lambrecht and Jim Chivers. The next broadcast on ESPN Radio 1300 is February 12 when the Greyhounds host Saint Peter's at 7 o'clock.
GREYHOUNDS ALL-ACCESS: Once again this season, any home game not selected for television will be made available on live video streaming through Greyhounds All Access. The next offering will be February 12 when Loyola hosts Saint Peter's at 7 o'clock. Games can be accessed via www.LoyolaGreyhounds.com.
FOLLOW LOYOLA ON FACEBOOK AND TWITTER: Loyola Athletics launched new Facebook and Twitter sites with the advent of the new school year. Now Greyhounds followers can get immediate news via Facebook.com/LoyolaHounds and Twitter.com/LoyolaHounds.
JESUIT BASKETBALL SPOTLIGHT: Last Thursday's game was the first home game for Loyola as part of the Jesuit Basketball Spotlight which uses Jesuit basketball to raise awareness of Jesuit education. Both Loyola and Fairfield are Jesuit schools. The Jesuit Basketball Spotlight project highlights more than 90 games this season between men's and women's teams from the 28 Jesuit colleges and universities across the United States. Jesuit Catholic colleges and universities in the United States have more than 200,000 students currently and more than 1.7 million living alumni. For more information on Jesuit higher education in the United States, go to www.ajcunet.edu.
NEXT UP FOR LOYOLA: The final extended road trip of the season concludes Sunday afternoon when the Greyhounds visit Manhattan for a Super Bowl matinee at 2 o'clock. Loyola is home again one week from tonight when it hosts Saint Peter's in Reitz Arena. After Sunday, the Greyhounds will play four of their final five games at home.

You should be well aware of the use and implications of the Garcinia Cambogia before the purchase. You have taken note of the pros and cons. After having a word or two with your dietitian and physician, you have decided to make a purchase. Regarding this, there is a word of caution to sound. Some of the brands contain additive ingredients. More often than not, these ingredients are responsible for causing side effects including nausea, vomiting and the other disruptions in the tract of digestion.
What should I be aware of?
It is important to select a brand type that guarantees proven results and minimizes the occurrence of the side-effects. Find out if the product has had a lab-based synthesis. Also, the best option is to choose the type that has approval of the FDA. The most important and active ingredient of this dietary supplement is HCA. Here again, you should be watchful regarding the core content of the HCA.
How will determine purity of HCA?
The supplement that you have selected should at least contain fifty percentage of HCA. If the percentile content is less than fifty; then it is better to change over to another brand. Some of the better-known brands will be clear and specific regarding the usage and inclusion of necessary ingredients. If the HCA content specification is missing; then it is inadvisable to make the purchase.
What else should I ascertain before making the purchase?
You can place an online order. There are websites that specialize in the sale and purchase of the Garcinia Cambogia diet supplements. It is better to place an order on the website that especially deals with dietary supplements. You also have the option of frisking the stalls of a local pharmaceutical store. But before taking the final plunge, do ensure the following. See the percentile content of HCA. Check out the region of production and the compositional makeup of the product.

Two captive elk at two farms were found with the fatal brain disease, sparking a statewide search to determine if it is present in Minnesota's wild deer herd. The Department of Natural Resources tested samples from nearly 5,000 hunter-killed deer last year, and none had the disease. ... Officials are dependent on hunters to bring their deer to registration stations where samples can be taken. Last year, DNR wildlife officials didn't get as many samples as they wanted. As an incentive this fall, hunters who bring their deer for testing will have a chance to win one of about 20 rifles, shotguns, bows and muzzleloaders donated by the Minnesota Deer Hunters Association, the Bluffland Whitetails Association and various outdoor stores. full story: http://www.startribune.com/stories/531/4193884.html ---------- Your Portal to More News Headlines, AR-News on the Web, Events, E-Mail Lists, Jobs, and Organizations!

Staring blind into the obvious
By Stella Jatras
What took so long for it to become obvious that Bosnia and other parts of the Balkans are the launching pad for terrorist attacks in Europe?
The Washington Post writes on 1 December, "Terrorist Cells Find Foothold in Balkans."(1) What a revelation! The fact is, Bosnia became a launching pad as far back as 1992 when the Bosnian Muslim government of Alija Izetbegovic - the government that was supported by the Clinton administration - issued a passport to Osama bin Laden which he used to visit Bosnia and Kosovo on several occasions.
More and more newspapers are finally beginning to expose Bosnia's connection to terrorism cells. A UPI article in The Washington Times of 1 December headlined "Balkans seen as terrorist training ground" reported:
Recent arrests confirm the belief that parts of the Balkans are becoming a launching pad for terrorist attacks in Europe, authorities say. One example came in an apartment occupied by an underground group aiming to blow up the British Embassy in Sarajevo, Western intelligence officials told The Washington Post. There they found explosives, rifles, other arms and a videotape pledging vengeance for the "brothers" killed fighting Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq. Islamic radicals reportedly want to create cells of so-called 'white' al-Qaida, non-Arab members who can avoid racial profiling used to spot potential terrorists.(2)
The Houston Chronicle further stated that U.S. Admiral Leighton Smith, commander of NATO forces in Bosnia, said as he toured the area, "No one can escape the obvious, that there is terrorist training activity going on in this building and it has direct association with people in the government," referring to the Bosnian Muslim government.
But it gets even more bizarre. Discovered also was a makeup room with charts instructing how to change eye color using contact lenses, peroxide bottles to alter hair color, and a dozen beards and mustaches to use as disguises. In classrooms, instructors had laid out mock-ups of installations. Notebooks detailed the daily lives of possible targets and manuals showed how to build bombs out of children's toys. "There is no military value to these types of devices; rigging toys is an act of terror," (my emphasis) said Col Brian Hoey, a NATO spokesman. His fellow spokesman, Col. John T. Kirkwood, added: "I never saw John Wayne rip the head off a plastic doll and throw it." (my emphasis)
President Bush accuses Iran of sending armed insurgents into Iraq, but where was the outrage when a 1997 Senate Republican Policy Committee report stated, "Clinton-Approved Iranian Arms Transfers Help Turn Bosnia into Militant Islamic Base"? (3) While exposing the Iranian connection to the Balkan war, the report also states that "Perhaps most threatening to the SFOR mission - and more importantly, to the safety of the American personnel serving in Bosnia - is the unwillingness of the Clinton Administration to come clean with the Congress and with the American people about its complicity in the delivery of weapons from Iran to the Muslim government in Sarajevo."
The Italian news agency AKI headlines, "Bosnia: Muslim Newspaper Points to Existence of Islamic Terror Camps," (4) writes, "Sarajevo, 30 August (AKI) - A Bosnian Muslim newspaper on Tuesday joined a chorus of mostly Serbian news reports on the existence of training camps for Islamic terrorists, accusing the international community of closing its eyes in front of this danger. The weekly Slobodna Bosna (Free Bosnia), whose editor is Senad Avdic, a moderate Muslim, in its latest issue described in detail how and where the alleged terrorist camps operate in Bosnia. The paper criticised the commander of the international forces in Bosnia (Eufor) David Leaky for his recent statement that he had no knowledge of the existence of such camps.
"In the article titled 'The Commander of Eufor in Bosnia David Leaky is Playing Dumb', the paper said that there was no point in presenting the facts to the 'uninformed general. 'Is he (Leaky) really uninformed, which is hard to believe, or is he conscientiously deceiving the local public, like most Western politicians who serve in Bosnia and advocate the thesis that the best thing for world security is that all terrorists be concentrated in one place, in Bosnia, where they can be kept under control?', the paper asked. The paper quoted former UN representative in Bosnia, Jacques Klein, as having confirmed to the Security Council that Islamic terrorists were active in Bosnia, but added that it was good they were concentrated in one place, because 'the rest of the world would be safe'."
Let me repeat that idiotic statement by one of the UN's high representatives, "The paper quoted former UN representative in Bosnia, Jacques Klein, as having confirmed to the Security Council that Islamic terrorists were active in Bosnia, but added that it was good they were concentrated in one place, because 'the rest of the world would be safe'." Personally, I always thought that Jacques Klein somewhat resembled Joseph Goebbels, Hitler's Propaganda Minister, in facial appearance, with his pointy nose, etc., but then that's just my observation. Goebbels is the one who coined the phrase ""If you tell a lie enough times, it becomes accepted as truth, and, the bigger the lie, the more likely it is to be accepted."
The New York Times of 3 December in an article, "Police Raid Raises Fears of Bosnia as Haven for Terrorists," writes, "A recent police raid on an apartment near this city's airport uncovered evidence of an imminent suicide bombing, intensifying the fears of Western security services that Bosnia is becoming a haven for Islamic militants.(5)
Therefore, it is safe to say Bosnia is the birthplace of Al-Qaeda.(6) At the time, Bosnia's Islamic terrorism was focused against the Serbian people, and therefore "justified." But if al-Qaeda could succeed in Bosnia, it could succeed anywhere in the world. Today, their terrorism is aimed at the American people. If only the Clinton administration had taken serious action against known Islamic terrorists in Bosnia when he had the chance, perhaps 9/11 would not have happened.

Peter Bros. Hats Fort Worth
Best Place for a feller too buy a hat
Fort Worth is affectionately called "Cowtown" and with good reason with it's rich western heritage and history it has always been considered the place where the " West Begins". The one thing you must do , when visiting Fort Worth, and that is visit Peter Brothers Hats iocated at 909 Houston street. Here you can buy a little bit of Texas History and an honest goodness Shady Oaks Texas hat. Joe Peters will happy to help and in the process give you a history lesson or two! Peters Brothers was started by Jim and Tom Peters in 1911. They were Greek immigrants who began their business shining shoes in Waco, TX during the "Cotton Palace Celebration." With their savings of $600 Jim and Tom moved to Fort Worth, TX and purchased a 17 ft. by 10 ft. wood building in the downtown area near 9th Street and Houston Street. They renovated the building and put in a first class shoe shine parlor. Jim and Tom hired four men to assist in shining shoes.
With the beginning of World War I, the business in downtown Fort Worth was so great that the store had to be expanded to accommodate 36 men to shine shoes on two shifts. In addition to shining shoes Jim and Tom operated a hat renovation department. (You might say they worked their way to the "TOP.") As a child Tom Peters dyed hats in Greece. With this experience he began cleaning hats for customers.
In 1921 Tom left Fort Worth to work for John B. Stetson in Philadelphia, PA. He learned to make hats from the master hatters at Stetson. Tom returned to Fort Worth with his new knowledge and started making hats at the downtown location.
Amon Carter was so intrigued with the Peters Brothers hats that he gave them away to movie stars, dignitaries, and famous celebrities when they visited Fort Worth. Mr. Carter named the hats "The Shady Oaks" and they are still made to this day!
Jim Peters died in 1933 leaving the business to Tom. The shop was moved to its current location of 909 Houston Street. In 1973 the last shoes were shined at Peters Brothers. Tom divided the building in half and rented the other side to a restaurant. He stayed with his first love which was hats and ran the shop until he was 98 ½ years old. Tom Peters died in June of 1991 and is missed by many. Grandson Joe Peters still makes "The Shady Oaks" the same way that granddad taught him which was one at a time by hand.
It's not just cowboy hats now a days you can get almost any hat you want from a 6 inch brim Tom Mix style to an Indiana Jones fedora.

But really, you should. The New Statesman New Media site has a report of a Tim Berners-Lee speech in which he says:
"The whole value-added of the web is serendipitous reuse..."Again, if you've heard the term 'semantic web' before, this will strike you as a clever (if ungrammatical) thing to say. But if you aren't, it will probably sound a bit pseudy.
My mate Ben reckons that this (old) article is still the best he's seen on the subject. Read it. It's worth knowing about.

Activating Multicast on an ASR9k router
I need to configure multicast on an ASR9k router I think I have to download and activate the corresponding .pie file (asr9k-mcast-p-4.1.0) but I do not find this file in cisco.com
The "show install inactive summary" command shows no software packets inactives.
The "show install active summary" shows active only the asr9k-mini-p-4.1.0 packet.
Could anyone upload the file or paste the link to download the .pie file for activating multicast routing on ASR9K platform?
Thank you in advance.
Hi marhifer2003
You need to download the tar file which contain the multicast pie
There is no separate multicast pie file on CCO
Then you can untar it find the multicast pie and add/activate it on your router.

Summer 2009, Vol.
Effectively Inefficient Pentecostal Leadership
Stephanie Nance (M.Div., 2008)
Administrative Coordinator for the Network for Women in Ministry
Printer Friendly
Version (PDF,Download
This year marks my tenth year in ministry. Over the years, formal education, reading, attending seminars, mentorship, and real life experiences impacted my development as a church leader. I also had the privilege of applying learned leadership techniques with a top quality ministry team. Despite my training and a great support team, however, I constantly struggled to complete my leadership responsibilities efficiently and remain effective in ministry. I could not find a balance between the two. Eventually, I collapsed on the sidelines, discouraged and feeling completely ineffective as a leader.
When a professor recently asked me what it means to lead "Pentecostal-ly," I pondered how efficiency and effectiveness should look for a Pentecostal leader. I concluded that leading "Pentecostal-ly" requires inefficient leading. Sounds strange, but efficiency is not something for which Pentecostal leaders should strive. While this sounds obviously contrary to standard leadership teaching, both Christian and secular, the reality is that Pentecostal leaders are not called to lead in a standard way but by the empowerment of the Holy Spirit. The Holy Spirit does not appear to be as concerned with efficiency as the Western World is, since He empowers people for effectiveness rather than efficiency.
After pondering the difference between efficiency and effectiveness, I determined that efficiency focuses on producing quantity by striving to limit time and energy expenditure; effectiveness, however, focuses on developing quality by requiring an investment of time and energy.
My desire to become what I call "effectively inefficient" came about from a random yet God-ordained combination of events that began with a challenge to write my first doctoral level paper on leading "Pentecostal-ly" and culminated with the longest lunch appointment of my life.
Lunch with a guy named Chad provided the insights I needed to pull together my wandering thoughts on effectiveness and efficiency. It was six o'clock in the morning when I jumped out of bed ready to take on my efficiently scheduled day that I knew would end with a feeling of accomplishment and balance. What I did not foresee when I left the house that morning was the twist that would take place in this lunch appointment. My perfectly timed and efficient one-hour lunch with Chad turned into a four-hour conversation. The intention of the lunch was to discuss spiritual formation, but things quickly went off course when I asked Chad to share with me his spiritual journey. I assumed Chad would give me a ten-minute version. I did not expect to find myself engrossed in a two-hour story about his twenty-year run from God's call while making a seven-figure income in the corporate world. His story amazed me, but what grabbed my attention that day were his thoughts on efficiency and effectiveness.
Chad told me of his days as a successful businessman who supervised hundreds of employees. All day he sat in his office where he met with a different employee every twenty minutes. Each would spend two minutes in the waiting area with the secretary, who would purposefully dialogue with the employee about spouse, children, and life. In the meantime, Chad sat in his office and quickly reviewed what he needed for the eighteen-minute meeting. After the two minutes, the employee would be escorted into Chad's office where he or she had eighteen minutes to discuss the purpose of the meeting. During this time, the secretary would e-mail or text Chad specific information about the employee's family, suggesting he ask the employee about his or her children or spouse. The employee, not aware of the information exchange, always responded enthusiastically to Chad's interest in his or her life. As he told me this, Chad laughed with disgust and shook his head at the extreme superficial connection.
Chad knew efficiency firsthand. He got work done and reaped the financial benefits of it. When asked how he had adjusted to ministry after years in the corporate world, he stated that the initial transition was not difficult because pastors and churches worry as much about efficiency as the corporate world. One day, however, Chad realized that Jesus could have used a chariot, yet He chose to walk everywhere. He never seemed to be in a hurry. Chad began to wonder why Jesus would not choose to be more efficient with His time. After all, a more efficient Jesus would be more effective, right?
The truth is that efficiency does not equal effectiveness. Chad realized that Jesus walked so He would purposefully meet people along the way to whom He could minister. Jesus cared about the people on the journey and not just the people at the destination. By today's standards, Jesus was not very efficient. He became easily sidetracked with peoples' problems. He spent time with the outcasts of society instead of time with the people who could help Him get His mission accomplished. And He had a tendency to show up late. Jesus clearly did not lead efficiently.
After hearing Chad's story, I began to think about Jesus and the apostles. I realized that Jesus' disciples followed their Master's inefficient leadership style. In Acts 6, the apostles found themselves distracted from the ministry because of the practicalities of operating a food program. Instead of planning their day efficiently and setting a schedule to manage both a food program and evangelistic ministry, they elected deacons to manage the food program. The apostles knew that their purpose was not to be efficient by balancing everything. They were called to be effective in their ministries of preaching, teaching, healing, and deliverance.
My friend Joel, who pastors a growing church in New Jersey, exemplifies what it looks like to minister effectively inefficient in his ministry context. Joel spends his days at one of three "office" locations: Panera Bread, Starbucks Coffee, or Dunkin Donuts. Refusing to lock himself away in a church office, Joel finds that making connections and conducting the necessary business of ministry in the marketplace of his town is more effective for his community and church. Obviously, he would be more efficient in the quietness of a church office with fewer interruptions. Joel's effectiveness on the journey to Sunday has become as important as his effectiveness behind the pulpit. Joel has discovered what it truly means to lead "Pentecostal-ly."
Over the years, many mentors and leaders have influenced my life. The ones worried about efficiency impacted me the least. I remember a conversation with a leader who attempted to minister to me one day in his office. At the strike of noon, he abruptly stood up and said we were finished. I understood his tight schedule, but when I walked away, I could not shake the feeling that I was just an appointment on his calendar. The mentors and leaders who have positively impacted my life treated me as a person the Spirit brought into their lives in whom to invest time and energy. No doubt, there were times they were busy and found it inefficient to talk with me. They chose, however, to be effectively inefficient and, as a result, shaped my life as a person and a leader.
Leaders carry many responsibilities and face many deadlines—all of which require time and energy boundaries. Effectiveness often demands the ability to work efficiently. It is vital, however, that efficiency flow out of the desire for effectiveness. I recently completed a large ministry project that could potentially impact thousands of people. This project took a great deal of time and energy. In order to meet the deadlines, I worked efficiently. My choice to work efficiently to meet those deadlines, though, flowed out of my desire for effectiveness. That said, I still struggle to understand how this works. I admit I bypassed several opportunities to be effective on the daily journey throughout this last project's completion.

I bought these socks for my Shih Tzu's to wear for a Breast Cancer Awareness Month photo. They are very cute. I thought it was a little tricky getting them on my dogs. But once they were on, they stayed in place. Very adorable!
These socks are fantastic quality, and they look absolutely adorable! They're super easy to put on, and they stay on! My little girl's paws used to get so cold, running around on our tile floors, but now they stay toasty warm! Best of all, they're so comfy that she barely even notices she has anything on her feet; they don't bother her at all!

Avocado Fries with Wasabi Lime Mayo Dipping Sauce
I am crazy about avocados. They're creamy and dreamy and I could eat my weight in them. Don't even get me started on guacamole. I could eat that every single day and be happy. One of my other favorite ways to eat avocados are fried. That's right. Avocado Fries! They're crispy on the outside and creamy on the inside. Add a side of Wasabi Lime mayo and you might not ever want to eat a potato fry again.
These avocado fries are THE perfect appetizer or snack just about anytime but why not think about making them for the Super Bowl this weekend? Even though I admittedly am NOT a football fan I am a fan of food (and the commercials aren't bad either).
Avocado Fries
- 1/4 cup mayonnaise
- 1/2 teaspoon wasabi powder
- 1/2 teaspoon fresh lime juice
- 1 1/2 cups vegetable or canola oil (or 2 inches oil in skillet)
- 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
- 1 egg, beaten
- 1 cup panko bread crumbs
- 2 avocados
- 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
- In small dish, mix mayonnaise, wasabi powder and lime juice. Cover; refrigerate until ready to serve.
- In deep 10-inch skillet, heat oil over medium-high heat to about 350°F.
- In 3 separate small shallow bowls, place flour, beaten egg and bread crumbs. Line large plate with paper towel.
- Remove pit and peel from avocados. Cut each avocado into 6 wedges.
- Dip 1 wedge into flour to coat; tap off excess. Dip into beaten egg to coat, then coat with bread crumbs. Continue until all wedges are breaded.
- In batches, carefully place breaded avocado wedges in hot oil. Fry 30 to 60 seconds on each side or until golden brown.
- With slotted spoon, carefully remove fried wedges from skillet; place on towel-lined plate. Season with salt. Serve with dipping sauce.

I think the church that Christ died for is a truly glorious thing…the body of Christ…the bride of Christ…the people of God. I also believe that God loves us a great deal…as manifested in redeeming us with His own flesh and blood…the Word…the Son…Jesus Christ. I believe His love was also manifested in the delivering of His word by men through the inspiration of the Holy Spirit, as well as the preservation of that word, so that we would come to know God and His plan and His will for us. I think that the idea of having local churches, overseen only by local elders guided by the word of God, and answerable only to Jesus Christ was genius. I think the idea that these local churches or congregations or assemblies of saints acting as one body or one family is yet another example of God knowing what is best for mankind. To think that each Christian should have a group of people with whom they can worship God, study God's word, gain encouragement, give encouragement, have accountability, spread the good news of salvation, work toward becoming more Christ-like, and on whom they can depend is invaluable. A Christian is never alone, for God is always with him, but to know that you have this spiritual family with you, too, should be a very comforting thing, as well.
I guess that's one of the things that makes me sad about reality. As no humans are perfect, save Jesus Himself, no local church is perfect either.
You know, most of the time, within our own physical families, we can kind of depend on each other. All of us mess up once in a while, some of us more than others, but it seems like family is something upon which, ultimately and usually, you can depend. Families don't always agree, sometimes fight, sometimes hurt each other…but when push comes to shove, families are usually there for us. I think of the story commonly referred to as "The Parable of the Prodigal Son." When family is in need, often times, the hurt and even the betrayal are put aside. Family is family.
Within the local church, I realize there are some limitations placed by God. We shouldn't overlook sin, especially patterns of sin or lifestyles of sin…the choice to live contrary to God's revealed word and will. We can't support those who are openly rebellious to God. However, I can't help but think that many times we abandon each other too quickly. We don't always follow the pattern God has given us in His word to resolve conflict or to approach a brother or sister when offended. I tried to raise my children to believe that fellow Christians were family…that we were in a common battle or working toward a common goal…that we were involved in something bigger than ourselves with others who desire to serve the Lord. I tried to instill in them a spirit of forgiveness and forbearance, as we walked side by side with our local spiritual family. I tried to instill in them a spirit of perseverance and solidarity. I hoped they would take with them God's desire for us to live in unity with our brothers and sisters. I hoped they would develop the ability to focus on the work set before us by God, as well as their part in it. I hoped they would go through life not expecting others to do everything, but that they would try to do their parts and to fulfill their responsibilities. I hoped that they would hold themselves to a high standard when it came to service to the Lord, and to certainly not hold others to a higher standard.
As I look around today, sometimes I don't see close knit spiritual families…families that you can count on to be there tomorrow to continue the fight with you. I don't necessarily mean that the fight isn't still being undertaken by you and them, just that the ability to rely on one another isn't as solid as it should be. It's almost like the view some have of marriage these days. Try it. If it works, that's great. If it doesn't, divorce and try again. Just as that is not what God intended for marriage, I don't think it's what He intended for the church, either. A husband and wife should never have to fear that disagreements or disappointments or occasional failures mean their spouse won't be beside them in the morning to try to work it out, compromise, understand, encourage, sacrifice, and love them…to be there…all the way there. However, sometimes in the church it seems to be much more about self. Am I getting what I need with this group? Are my needs being met? Are others doing enough or their parts? Sometimes, even something as superficial as am I being entertained or captivated or served? Being part of a local church should run deeper than that. It's about God being served and worshipped. It's about bearing one another's burdens. It's about edifying and teaching each other. It's about submitting and putting other's needs first, without compromising truth. Should I benefit from the local church? Absolutely, I should. Should it be because everything is about me? Absolutely not, it should not be.
I mentioned the husband and the wife relationship earlier. Much like that relationship, shouldn't Christians that have chosen to work in a certain location together to serve the Lord be able to love and respect each other as family? Shouldn't they be able to be loved and respected as family? Shouldn't they be able to disagree or disappoint or fail from time to time and not fear losing a brother or sister's love and commitment to be family? Shouldn't they be able to expect the family of God in that location to fight to stay together and to serve God and to spread the gospel together…to place a high value on unity? I certainly hope so!
Just to be clear, I am not being naïve or foolish or heretical. I realize there can arise differences that can cause true division, just as in a marriage the failures and disappointments can involve infidelity that cannot be overcome together. I understand that there can exist sinful situations where the bible pattern has been followed to address the sin and refusal to repent may exist. I understand that there can exist such divergent views of what is truth and what is error that reconciliation is not possible and everyone still serve God faithfully. Short of those situations, shouldn't we be striving with all we have to serve God together…faithful and united? Shouldn't you be able to count on me being there by your side and vice versa? Again, I certainly hope so.
Anyone reading this and making it all the way through it probably knows me. If so, I hope you know that any references to anything I have done or tried to do are not based in arrogance. I know that I have many areas upon which I need to improve. I know that I am as far from perfect as anyone else. I know that I have failed in many ways, probably even in carrying out the things I mentioned that I tried to do or tried to teach my children or whatever. Personal experiences were merely included to offer some perspective or possible expectations. I also hope you know that this is written in love. I love God, I love my family, I love my friends, I love my brothers and sisters in Christ, I love my co-workers, I love my acquaintances, I love my neighbors, and I love my enemies. Many fall in more than one of these groups. I hope that each day I live, I learn to love better in how it's shown and more completely in to whom it is applied. I have a long way to go. Please pray for me. I will be praying for you. I pray for the saved and the lost and for churches and for governments. Let us all work to make the world more like God wants it to be.

Loads of people are worrying about money at the moment, but a school in Suffolk has come up with a way to make a bit of extra cash.
They've found that small seeds can lead to big business. Ore went along to find out what they've been getting up to.
"One of the best things about reporting for Newsround is getting to visit so many different places and meeting different people to bring the best stories to you guys.
Of course it wasn't actually named after me, it was named after a river near to the school, but it still got me pretty excited!
So the real story was that the kids in this school were doing a bit more than some others might with their garden.
To stop me from just watching telly all weekend, my mum and dad used to give me a bit of extra pocket money to help with the gardening, but this school was getting cash from their garden regularly.
There were so many kids helping out - they obviously really enjoyed it and even though it rained a little bit it didn't put them off.
Planting, weeding, digging, cutting - I really got some green fingers out in the garden. And for the kids? Not only do they learn about keeping a garden in good condition, they also get a good idea about how to run a business.
It's the salad leaves that make the money and teacher Miss Briley told me that over the past year, the garden made over £100!
When we harvested the salad leaves, we took it down to one of the restaurants, and after the kids got their cash I watched Louise, the chef, cook up some lovely grub.
So not only did pupils earn their school some money for all their hard work, but they also got a free lunch - not a bad afternoon really!

Summary:Overall, an exceptionally performing jacket. Wonderfully waterproof, the front pocket/vents and pit-vents work great. This jacket performs well in all seasons: I use it skiing in the winter, and backpacking in the summer. Downsides: It doesn't pack down as well as I hoped. The hood could turn a little better, as it has a tendency to limit peripheral vision. The day-glow inside mesh pocket is always in the way, and is awkward if you put anything in it. I finally cut mine out. The pit-vent zippers are hard to open with gloves on, but adding a loop on the zipper fixes that. I also found this jacket quite expensive for what it is. I wouldn't have paid full price.

Summary:I've never found a perfect goretex shell, but this one comes very close to my favorite mountaineering grade jacket. The hood does not fit well with my climbing helmet. The fabric has not faired as well as others on frequent glissades, as I have had to put a patch on the bottom where the fabric has ripped quite extensively. I've not had this severe of a problem with other slightly heavier grade fabrics. The breathability is the best I've ever seen. Pit zips plus the chest pockets which actually can be used as the equivelant of the North Face "core vents," make this the most breathable 2/3ply jacket I've ever used.Inner bottle pocket is a life saver in extreme cold conditions.Powerskirt is excellent.Mesh lining makes the jacket very comfortable to use with a mid- to light- weight fleece layer only underneath.The chest pockets are ackward when fully loaded on top of full size pack straps and when sitting down.No hand warmer pockets on this jacket.I've had the jacket to -29 (F) standing air temps at moderate to heavy work loads and it performed very well.

Before and during World War II, college women – like so many others – made vital contributions to civilian and military life while facing great difficulties both on the homefront and abroad. What were the greatest challenges in the lives of these women during the war, and how did women's roles change as a result?
The Elmhurst Historical Museum presents a lecture by Rockford University professor Catherine Forslund titled "A College at War: Women Working for Victory in World War II." The program begins at 7 p.m. Thursday, Oct. 10, in the museum's Education Center, just south of the Glos Mansion at 120 E. Park Ave. in downtown Elmhurst.
Forslund has been a professor of history at Rockford University for 13 years. She is a noted history lecturer and is co-author of the book "We Are a College at War: Women Working for Victory in World War II" (Southern Illinois University Press). Books will be for sale and available for signing following Forslund's presentation.
Traveling exhibit
The program is presented in conjunction with the Elmhurst Historical Museum's current exhibit, "Our Lives, Our Stories: America's Greatest Generation," a national traveling exhibition on display through Oct. 20. The exhibit will be open for extended hours in the museum's first-floor gallery prior to the program from 5 to 7 p.m.
Admission is free to the museum and program, and no reservations are required. Limited, free on-site parking is available.

I've been thrown into the world of laptops and my head is spinning. I've been comparing specs with all kinds of computers, and keep coming back to Asus, probably because of the battery life they advertise. I want a 13-14" model, with big battery life, very portable, and as much power as I can get for a moderate price. The big thing is that I DONT game, or watch movies or download alot of stuff off the Internet. I use my computer for emailing, storing photos, and writing essays. that's about it. I travel alot, so I need it to be strong enough to handle my backpack. Everyone seems so concerned with gaming capabilities, but I'm not. So, I'm wondering just what I need to look for in terms of power supply that would be enough for my needs. Right now I'm comparing the specs of the ASUS UL80Vt with those of the K42F, but the K series has a 6 cell battery, but an Intel Core i3 processor. The UL80 only has an Intel Core Duo SU7300 processor, with an 8 cell battery. Which specs should I be more concerned about? And how does the Duo Core T6600/6 cell battery (U80A-RSTML05) factor into the competition here? Should I consider it, or is it yesterday's news? ANY insight would be helpful. Because I live in the UAE, I need to consider global warranties (which ASUS has), and service. Just don't steer me into Mac land- I'm not dishing out that much money...

The admonition to cook what's in season is not just idle advice in the Balkans, where residents gorge on strawberries in May and June, feast on raspberries and blackberries in July, and lament the passing of all of them by late August. Tiny, luminescently green Brussels sprouts appear in open-air market stalls in February and last the whole bleak Balkan winter. Author Joan McQueeney Mitric knows this firsthand: She has cooked them all, from the luscious berries to the bright little sprouts, while caring for elders here.
Fall is the season of the small, dusky purple Italian prune plum, or sljiva. Cooks from Belgrade to Novi Sad to Dubrovnik are making the plum dumpling dessert known as knedle sa sljivama (pronounced keh-NAID-lay sah SHLI-vah-mah), sinking pitted plums into simple-but-yummy batter to serve with tiny cups of thick Turkish coffee -- or with plum brandy, otherwise known as sljivovica, or slivovitz. When the plum dumplings are cut open, the dark fruit's golden centers should be succulent and sweet.
These lovely prune plums have made their annual brief fall appearance in American East Coast markets. Locally, they are available at Snider's markets, M.O.M. (My Organic Market) in Rockville and some Trader Joe's and Giant Food stores. So, Mitric says, you might say the two continents are sharing a rare United Nations moment of culinary solidarity.
Servings: 4 - 6
- For the topping
- 1/2 to 3/4 stick (2 to 3 ounces) unsalted butter
- 1 to 2 cups medium or fine plain bread crumbs (may use a mixture of white and wholoe wheat)
- 1/4 to 1/2 cup sugar (may use light brown sugar)
- 1/4 teaspoon cinnamon (optional) OR
- 1/4 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)
- For the dumplings
- 10 to 12 Italian prune plums
- 6 medium red or Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quatered
- 1 large egg, lightly beaten
- Salt
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil (or safflower oil)
- 1 to 3 tablespoons flour
For the topping: In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Gradually add 1 cup of the bread crumbs, then 1/4 cup to 1/2 of the sugar, stirring to combine thoroughly. Taste (the mixture should not be too sweet) and add more bread crumbs or sugar, as desired. Add the cinnamon or vanilla extract, if desired. Transfer to a bowl and set aside.
For the dumplings: Wash the plums and pit them by cutting a small slit along one side of the fruit, then pressing on each end. The pit should pop out easily if the plums are ripe. Set aside.
Place the potatoes in a large pot of lightly salted water and bring to a boil over medium-high heat, cooking for about 15 minutes, until they are easily pierced with a fork. Drain and process through a potato ricer and transfer to a large bowl, or place the potatoes in a food processor and pulse until lump-free. Add the egg, a pinch or two of salt to taste and the vegetable or safflower oil, mixing well. Gradually add just enough flour, so that the potato dough becomes firm enough to hold its shape when formed around each plum. Enclose each plum in a thin, even 1/8-inch layer of dough by rolling the fruit individually in your hands. (You may have some dough left over.) At this point, the dumplings can be covered and refrigerated for up to 6 hours.
When ready to cook, bring 2 quarts of water barely to a boil (not a rolling boil) over medium-high heat. Cook the dumplings, working in batches, for 8 to 10 minutes, or until they float to the surface. (If the fruit splits during the cooking, that's okay.) Using a slotted spoon, drain slightly and transfer to a serving platter. Sprinkle topping generously over the dumplings or roll the dumplings in the topping to coat. Serve warm.

This dessert recipe was passed on to author Joan McQueeney Mitric some 35 years ago by the cooks in her husband's village of Lipolist, southwest of Belgrade.

Beantown Eye2Eye Splash! Radiance The Connection FreeStyle Boss Encore One Step Ahead Signature Groovin' You Clique Protege Groove Alliance The Hub Bayside
These Cape Cod wedding bands have played a role in countless receptions and ceremonies, from Mashpee to P-town, in such varied locations as The Chatham Bars Inn, The Wequassett Inn, The Wychmere Harbor Club, and even private tented residences. With the professionalism and talent required to elevate any event to the next level, our artists more than happy to cross the Sagamore bridge!
Don't forget to check out our Band Showcase page to see when these groups may be performing.
We couldn't have pulled it off without you. Your guidance and expertise with every detail was greatly appreciated – from making quick changes to the contract to getting us in touch with Katlin – you were there every step of the way to make sure we had what we needed. You made the process easy and the end result was truly a success. We have received great reviews and owe this largely to your dedication to our event.Ashley Rosenkranz, The Baupost Group, L.L.C., Boston, MA
Wilson Stevens was the best wedding vendor I dealt with. Just unbelievably kind and professional. Justin was so great throughout the entire process and Katlin was a lifesaver at the end – just so reassuring and kind! I can't thank you guys enough for everything.
Alison & Peter HallAlison & Peter, Searles Castle,Windham, NH
Getting to know the Justin, Tim, and Kathy has been an absolute pleasure. Having been involved in several family owned businesses throughout my life it's always a pleasure to do business with and create a friendship with a family like the Wilsons. They really have something special that not all businesses can offer; genuine kindness and trustworthiness.
David & Shannon, The Marriott Longwharf Hotel, Boston, MA
My husband and I can't say enough good things about Wilson Stevens. I spent months researching various bands and agencies and ultimately made the best decision choosing Wilson Stevens. My first phone call to the agency was very easy and they took the time to go over the various bands available to play on our wedding date, within our budget. I quickly learned that there is a band for most every budget and the agency was wonderful at sharing details about each band and their specialty.Laura & Adam, The Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Boston, MA
Wilson Stevens was a total pleasure to work with. Phone calls were returned within an hour, the professionalism was second to none and everything in the contract was clear cut and easy to manage. From the moment the band was hired until the last song was played, I didn't worry about a thing…something that, as brides continue to plan their wedding, you will find incredibly rare and very valuable.Erica & Tim, Woods Hole Golf Club, Falmouth, MA
Wilson Stevens Productions was great to deal with — always a prompt return call or email (even when Justin was on the road). It is a family business, so they CARE how their clients are treated. That, plus top ranked talent, made all the difference for us.Taken from Weddingwire.com
It was not only easy, but was a pleasure doing business with Wilson Stevens; people that understand the wedding business and enjoy what they do for work. This goes for the artist, setup men, staging guys, and most of all, the office people.Andrea & Izzy, Private Residence, Quincy, MA
I am so floored with your professionalism and courtesy to your clients. I only wish I wasn't the youngest in my family to refer for future weddings! But you have my referral for all other band worthy occasions! Thank you for making my wedding day so special. EVERYONE always remembers the BAND! I'll never forget your company and my band!Dana & Luke, Westerly Yacht Club, Westerly, RI
Aside from the band themselves I'd like to say thank you for making everything so easy for us. In an event loaded with stress and complications it was so nice to have such an easy time arranging the entertainment. Wilson Stevens was really a pleasure to work with.Gareth & Melanie, Belle Mer, Newport, RI
"Wilson Stevens was quite responsive and helpful. They gave us the perfect amount of attention. Some of our other vendors were impossible to reach and others were too overreaching. Wilson Stevens was very refreshing in that regard."Mike & Elana, The State Room, Boston, MA
So what doesn't Wilson Stevens do well? Seriously! You guys find great talent, charge great prices, have great employees, answer phones quickly, answer emails quickly, have wicked nice personalities, get things done, never sleep, never eat, always have time for a yuck, and routinely put customers first. I am taking a page from your company's manual.
Raymond J. Sousa, Ph.D., Mendon, MA
From start to finish, the band selection process could not have been any easier. Wilson Stevens: you were amazing, ONLY to be outdone by a band that kicked a$$!!!!!! THANK YOU all!

Manager Tony La Russa had said before Wednesday's game that, for the moment, he was adopting the closer-by-committee approach. "I'm going to look at the guys available and piece it together to the best of my ability," La Russa said. "There isn't anybody in that bullpen that couldn't pitch the ninth inning, in my opinion. Mix and match the best I can. Just watch the game. That's the best way to describe it. That way you don't get too specific and have to come back and explain it."
After Perez had dazzled the Dodgers both with his breaking ball and fastball, La Russa cautioned, "That was impressive. But let him fly under the radar screen a little. I don't think he needs any extra attention or distraction.
"I don't think Chris needs to hear he's the next Bruce Sutter here yet."
Joel Pineiro, who has had leads in 17 of his 19 starts, finally earned his fourth win, lasting seven innings and giving up four runs.
"We score one and give up two and you say, 'Here we go again,'" La Russa said. "But he did a great job in collecting himself."
On the offensive side, Albert Pujols trumped Dodgers outfielder Manny Ramirez's solo homer with a grand slam in a 4-for-4 night. La Russa didn't think Ramirez being in town had anything to do with Pujols' performance.
"He was hitting .350 when Manny showed up," La Russa said. "I just think Albert's in Manny Ramirez's class. I don't doubt that there's a natural tendency to want to impress your peers, and he's one of (Ramirez's) peers. But Albert's a tough out if you're playing at 1 o'clock with nobody in the stands."
CARDINALS 9, DODGERS 6: 1B Albert Pujols, who had been just 1-for-6 with the bases loaded this season, slammed the sixth grand slam of his career. RF Ryan Ludwick tied a single-season club record held by four others, including Pujols, by homering in his fifth straight game.
--INF/OF Felipe Lopez singled in his Cardinals debut as a left fielder. "When he was with Cincinnati and Washington, we inquired about him," manager Tony La Russa said. "We're excited to have him on our team."
--CF Rick Ankiel was reportedly improved, but, still bothered by a strained abdominal muscle, did not start for the 10th straight game. Ankiel struck out as a pinch hitter but won't start Thursday afternoon either.
"He ran at 75 percent," manager Tony La Russa said. "That's still 25 percent that has to get well."
--RF Ryan Ludwick had a homer and two singles, extending his hitting streak to nine games (18-for-37, .486).
--CF Skip Schumaker hiked his hitting streak to 10 games with a single. He is 16-for-41 (.390) during that span.
--The Cardinals beat the Dodgers for the eighth time in nine games at the newest Busch Stadium, opened in 2006.
--OF Nick Stavinoha was optioned to Class AAA Memphis to make room for RHP Chris Perez, brought up to help an overworked bullpen.
BY THE NUMBERS: 4 -- Starts out of 19 won by RHP Joel Pineiro, after his victory Aug. 6.
QUOTE TO NOTE: "Not my favorite news." -- Manager Tony La Russa on OF Manny Ramirez being traded to the Los Angeles Dodgers, who were the next scheduled opponents for the Cardinals.

The LDS Church's active support of a California ballot initiative banning gay marriage so far has been mostly confined to California.
But during a special satellite broadcast from Salt Lake City tonight to LDS chapels in Utah County as well as in California, LDS authorities are expected to ask Brigham Young University students and other Californians living in Utah to participate in phone trees in support of Proposition 8, which would define marriage as exclusively between a man and a woman.
The broadcast will feature Apostles M. Russell Ballard and Quentin L. Cook and L. Whitney Clayton, of the Presidency of the Seventy, discussing the LDS Church's doctrine of marriage and describing the church's participation in the Protect Marriage Coalition, which wants voters to approve the initiative.
At the coalition's request, The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints is making arrangements for Californians living in Utah "to call friends, family and fellow-citizens in California to urge support of the effort to defend traditional marriage," spokesman Scott Trotter said Tuesday.
Although many members other than Californians have expressed a desire to help, the effort in Utah for now will focus on Californians living here, Trotter said. No calls from Utah have yet been made, but a small test of the phone-call system is "anticipated soon."
"We are looking at options to fulfill a request from the coalition to help with phone calls to encourage support of Proposition 8. We're also responding to the many requests we have had from students and others who want to help," Clayton said. "Making phone calls is something they can do."
Keith Kuder, a Mormon from Southern California who lives in Provo, heard about tonight's meetings from Facebook and from fliers circulating in his neighborhood. He plans to attend.
"This is going to set a precedent," said Kuder, who is in favor of the initiative. "The church has not been involved with politics in this way for a very long time. The church doesn't want to make a statement in favor of Prop 8 but it wants members to be in favor."
California Mormons have already contributed heavily to the campaign, according to a report by Mormonsfor8.com, which tracks campaign contributions to ProtectMarriage .com and identifies which donors are LDS. As of Oct. 1, that group had identified individual LDS donors who had given $7.9 million, or 41 percent of all large donations, making LDS members the largest group of ProtectMarriage contributors, said a release from Affirmation, a support group for gay Mormons.

Feb 18, 2013 - By Craig Blumenshine, Staff WriterThe Riverton Wolverines climbed back from a 10-point fourth quarter deficit to down the Kelly Walsh Trojans 52-48 Saturday night in Casper.
The win was Riverton's 20th of the year with just two losses. The Wolverines are all alone on top of the Class 4-A West conference with a 7-1 record with just two games to play, one of which is a home game against Green River at 6:30 p.m. this Tuesday, Feb. 19, at Wolverine Gym.
More importantly, Riverton has gained a first-round bye in the Class 4-A West regional tournament a week from Thursday in Green River and an automatic qualification to the state tournament.
But Saturday's game will be remembered most for Riverton's comeback on Kelly Walsh's senior night. The Wolverines outscored KW 18-6 in the final period.
"I didn't think our defensive intensity was good. You can't get better every night, but we came back, gave ourselves an opportunity to win the game and we did. It was a good team win. Everybody contributed and did some great stuff," RHS head coach Dick Quayle told KVOW broadcasters after the game.
Charging back in the fourth quarter, Seth Quayle got two, Jordan Belville took a charge to gain a turnover, and Xavier Webb drilled a mid-range jumper to tie the game at 44-44.
Quayle added another basket, as did Belville. But it was Belville's two free throws with 19 seconds left that sealed the game for the Wolverines.
Quayle led all scores with 19.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
A spongivore is an organism that feeds primarily on animals of the Phylum Porifera, commonly called sea sponges.
The hawksbill turtle is one of the few animals known to feed primarily on sponges. It is the only known spongivorous reptile.[1] Sponges of various select species constitute up to 95% of the diets of Caribbean hawksbill turtle populations.[2]
Pomacanthus imperator, the emperor angelfish, is a known spongivorous coral reef fish.[3][4]
Certain species of nudibranchs are known to feed selectively on specific species of sponges.

CHAPPAQUA, N.Y. – In the aftermath of Wednesday's snow day, the Chappaqua Schools have announced that Feb. 20 will be switched from a scheduled day off to an instructional day.
Those curious as to why there is no breathing room for one snow day at this point can thank Hurricane Sandy. The storm used up the district's allotted snow days last fall.
Additional snow days from this point on will result in the scheduled vacation days of Feb. 19 and March 25 and 26 becoming instructional days, the district stated on its website.

April 30, H Security (International) VMware patches vulnerabilities in ESX 4.1. Virtualization specialist VMware is warning customers about multiple security holes in versions 4.0 and 4.1 of its ESX enterprise-level computer virtualization product. According to the company, the Service Console in ESX 4.1 on unpatched systems can be exploited by a local user in a guest virtual machine to gain escalated privileges, or by a malicious remote user to cause a denial-of-service condition or compromise a victim's system. In its advisory, VMware notes that some of these holes, found in previous versions of the libxml2 XML C parser and toolkit used by the ESX Console Operating System (COS), were closed by updating libxml2 to a newer release. Versions 4.0 and 4.1 of ESX are affected; vCenter, ESXi, and ESX 3.5, as well as hosted products such as VMware Workstation, Player, ACE, and Fusion, are not vulnerable. Patches are available for ESX 4.1 that correct these problems, while patches for version 4.0 are listed as "pending."
