West Liberty Ky Tornado
March 3, 2012 by staff
West Liberty Ky Tornado, WEST LIBERTY, Ky. Rescue operations continued throughout the night and into the Saturday morning in Morgan County, where a powerful tornado carved a 60-mile path of devastation, leaving at least three dead, 75 injured and the community in shambles.
Emergency officials expected the death toll to rise after daybreak as teams of rescuers continued fanning out across the city and county in search of survivors. But the depth of destruction was only beginning to take shape early Saturday, and officials could not predict how fast the casualty rate might rise.
"In the daylight, there will be a lot more," said Endre Samu, spokesman for the Kentucky State Police.
By midnight Friday, more than thirty emergency teams from the region had poured into downtown West Liberty – believed to be the most concentrated area of damage in the tornado's path, which was reportedly two miles wide in places.
Officials had placed the community on lockdown to prevent looting and were working to secure an area hospital damaged in the storm. Samu said patients were being taken to emergency shelters.
Dozens of buildings along the city's main thoroughfare remained standing despite severe structural damage and debris that was piled as high as five feet high down both sides of the street. But many buildings appeared to be a total loss.

Don't need to set time in login script, XP machines in the domain will automatically get their time from your DC.
Check your timezones are set correctly and that the DST checkbox is on.
Nov 12, 2008 at 12:08 UTC
Are they all up to date? Specifically the DST update? Are they set to the correct time zone?
Nov 12, 2008 at 12:29 UTC
Hi there,
I have tried checking the DSt,I have tried download a fix from Microsoft.
Still after 10-20minutes it reverts back to the old time .this is one hour ahead as I am in PST time zone.

Check the time on all of your domain controllers, it sounds like the PC is getting time from a server that has the wrong time set.
The authoritative time server on a Windows 2003 AD domain is your PDC emulator. Here's a link from Microsoft on it: click here (careful, one of these days I'm going to Rick Roll you.....)
It's a good best practice even if this isn't the cause of your current problem.

Three Endings
Alan at the Tiller: location, date, photographer unknown.
Here's this evening's homily. I love the Great Vigil and hate Easter Sunday morning -- there are too many people, and it's all too sickly sweet (not least because of the incense, which sets off my allergies) -- so I'll probably skip church tomorrow.
I've been going through Dad's photos, trying to find one of him on Red Jacket, but so far, no luck. There are lots of photos of Red Jacket, in various states of repair and lack thereof, but none include Dad. So I settled for this photo. Since the boat's actually on the water, and since the color scheme's yellow rather than red, this must be another boat, but I like the looking-into-the-distance wistfulness on Dad's face, which is a bit like how he looked before he died.
The woman who taught my preaching class always told us not to use personal stories in our homilies, because we're supposed to be talking about God, not about ourselves. But I got away from that rule pretty quickly, and nobody at church seems to mind. It seems to me that it's hard to talk about one without talking about the other, too.
The Gospel is >Mark 16:1-8. If you want to read the rest of the readings for the Great Vigil, you can find them here.
The Gospel of Mark, the shortest and oldest of the four Gospels, has three endings. Scholars believe that the Gospel originally ended with the passage we just heard, with the "terror and amazement" the women felt at the empty tomb. The second ending is a short paragraph in which the women tell Peter and the other disciples what just happened; it adds that "Jesus himself sent through them, from east to West, the sacred and imperishable proclamation of eternal salvation." The third ending, the longest, describes post-resurrection sightings of Jesus, his final instructions to his disciples -- "Proclaim the good news!" -- and his ascension.
These three endings create a powerful portrait of Jesus' followers struggling to make sense of a miracle. The first conveys the sheer bewilderment of the first witnesses to the resurrection, who went from the grief of the crucifixion -- an event they could at least understand -- to the terror of a world turned upside down, a world in which God has reversed death. In this ending, the women are promised that they will see Jesus, but they haven't seen him yet. They're left struggling with, and fleeing from, an impossible story.
In the second ending, we're told that Jesus works through his followers, but we don't hear about any post-resurrection appearances. The phrase "Jesus himself sent out through them" could, it seems to me, just as easily mean that they were inspired by his memory. Only in the third ending do we learn that the disciples saw the risen Jesus at various times and places, and that he spoke to them before being taken up into heaven. In this third ending, we see the Gospel writers making sense of that empty tomb, replacing terror and amazement with mission.
This progression feels very human to me, very realistic. When we are faced with miracles, with events that defy the rules we know, our first response is bewilderment and even fear. From there, we work to make sense of the impossible, to turn it into a story that will fit into and enrich our lives, that will give us purpose. And make no mistake, we see miracles all the time: resurrections from illness, from desperation, from despair. We catch a glimpse of the risen Christ whenever we learn that some ending we're grieving wasn't the end at all, that the story isn't finished. A dead body on a cross is the end, but no, it isn't the end. A tomb is the end, but no, this empty tomb isn't the end. The women telling Peter what they've seen isn't the end. Jesus' ascension to heaven isn't even the end. This story isn't finished yet. It's still going on, and all of us are called to proclaim the good news of the small pieces we have seen and heard.
To see resurrection, though, you must first confront death. That's why Good Friday is so important, and it's why the first witnesses to the resurrection, in all four Gospels, are women, doing the everyday and necessary task of anointing the dead. Miracles arise from the ordinary.
Many of you know that my father died three weeks ago this evening. Many of you also know that he was a committed atheist, fiercely contemptuous of God and church and religion, although his Catholic upbringing left him with a lifelong passion for social justice. He agreed with me, and with Jesus, that our purpose here is to love each other. He just didn't see why anyone had to believe in "a fairy tale" -- his term for religious faith -- to figure that out.
In the last few weeks of his life, though, this decidedly unspiritual man began having the kinds of odd experiences that, according to hospice professionals, often occur before death. Several times I walked in on him when he was chatting with dead cousins. In the days before he died, he kept reaching out his right hand and making a movement that looked like turning a doorknob, and his gaze repeatedly traveled from the foot of his bed up to the ceiling. I asked him what door he was opening and what he saw, but he couldn't tell me. I consciously fought the urge to impose my own story on these gestures. I knew what door I wanted him to open and who I wanted him to see, but I respected my father too much to force my beliefs into him.
On Saturday, March 21st, the hospice nurse told me that Dad had at most a week left. We moved him into a private room at the nursing home, and I decided to bring a camping cot to his room that evening and stay with him until the end. I sat with him that afternoon, trying to decipher his few words, which were fragmented by heart failure and garbled by morphine. But somewhere in there he said, very clearly, "He's working on the boat."
The boat was Red Jacket, the thirty-foot wooden sloop my father bought for $2,500 cash when he retired. At the age of sixty-five, he and a friend brought this dilapidated vessel, via rivers and inland waterways, from Chicago to the Gulf Coast. That trip was the grand adventure of his life, and the eleven years he lived on Red Jacket afterward were his happiest, even though the boat was in such bad shape that he never got her away from the dock. All of his time, money and energy went into repairing her. When his health got worse and he couldn't live on the boat anymore, he sadly sold her to his burly, bearded friend AJ.
Sitting next to him in the nursing home, I said, "Who's working on the boat, Dad? AJ?"
"Yup," Dad said, his voice strong. "He's working on the boat."
A few hours later, I went home for dinner and to pick up the camping cot. When my husband and I returned to the nursing home, we learned that Dad had died peacefully half an hour before, while the nurses were turning him in bed. Hospice had called me, but I'd missed them.
In my shock and grief, I focused on the date. The days around the Spring Equinox have always been very hard for me. I've suffered many losses on, or around, March 21. Dad's death was only the latest and most painful example of that pattern. The timing was not good news.
A few days later, Gary and I started going through the things in Dad's apartment, and I tackled his file drawers. Naturally, he had a file devoted to Red Jacket. It contained the bill of sale for the boat. Dad had bought his beloved sailboat on March 21, 1988.
This is not an empty tomb, not a bodily resurrection. But it is a reminder that my father had his own story, very different from mine. In my story, March 21 is a day of dread. In his story, it's the beginning of a grand adventure. He began one grand adventure in 1988, and I believe he began another three weeks ago. And while I know my father saw a strong, bearded man working on the boat, I'm not at all sure it was AJ. I think perhaps the figure was someone else, someone who knows a lot about boats and even more about facing death, and overcoming it.
Many people would call this sequence of events coincidence, instead of miracle. All I know is that I've been given good news: a new way to make sense of my father's death, a new way to believe that his story isn't over. If I had been unwilling to sit at his bedside as he died, if I hadn't gone on to do the everyday, ordinary act of cleaning out his apartment, I never would have arrived at this new understanding. Only through Good Friday could I arrive at Easter.
I'll miss Dad every day of my life, but now I can also imagine him sailing on Red Jacket, under clear skies with warm, following winds. The boat's shipshape and seaworthy, as she never was while he lived. His companion on this voyage has the very useful skills of being able to calm storms and walk on water. And if I am once again imposing on my father a story he would have hated, well, at least the tale has given me a new sense of mission: to embrace grand adventures, even in unlikely circumstances, as exuberantly as my father did.
This Easter, may all of you find good news: pain transformed to praise, wounds healed by wonder, and grief lightened by grace.
Christ is risen. Allelujah!

I love your homily!ReplyDelete
Not to dismiss your training, but I think it's entirely appropriate for a preacher to reveal the reasons in their lives that gave God an opportunity to reveal truths of faith that moved them beyond mere doctrine.
As deeply committed as I am to my own religious training, I sometimes think that Christians rely too much on "magic words" (however, I also like fantasy/science fiction that explores "magical" concepts -- so I hope that means I'm human rather than consistent?) and worry about doctrines that require people to, "Confess Christ" in words rather than in actions.
Why do I believe this? Well, aside from knowing many confessing "Christians" I would not trust to give me advice on how to live my life, I have known many Christians "outside the faith"; people who have expressed intellectual doubts while living an unequivocal life of love. In this vein, Thomas and Paul come to mind as excellent examples of God's ability to overcome intellectual doubts to grow true fruits of the Spirit.
And, to quote scripture (personally, I like the KJV for the richness of the language), I think I have scripture on my side that faith that moves the fingertips is better than faith that only moves the tongue:
"And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, [d]oth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; [r]ejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; [b]eareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away."
In other words, even though your father found it hard to prophesy of Christ's loving kindness, it sounds like he lived in love -- which the Bible says is a better life as it shall never pass away. Thus, I celebrate this Easter as proof that He has the power to overcome everything our limited understanding cannot grasp.
My prayers are with you, but God's Covenant is not only alive -- the proof of his love is eternal!
That's a wonderful homily, Susan! Your use of your father made it more meaningful to me and probably everyone who heard it. Robert, my rector, uses stories from his life too. What I love most about this homily is the goal/dream you now have for yourself, "to embrace grand adventures, even in unlikely circumstances, as exhuberantly as my father did." Amen! He is risen indeed!!!ReplyDelete
Thanks, everyone. These comments mean a lot to me.ReplyDelete
My congregation liked the homily, too, for which I'm grateful.
Happy Easter!

unsecured funding is a popular way to finance a business, because unlike loans guaranteed that there is no need to meet guarantees. This has some important implications, in particular for small businesses – Let's take a look at some of the ways in small companies can obtain financing without guarantee. (LoansOne)
Unsecured loans
While they may be more difficult to obtain, unsecured business loans are potentially the most useful type of financing without guarantee for small businesses. Apart from not needing the physical safety, the most obvious benefits are that they are fast to install and you can borrow more than their assets are worth (if any) to obtain a significant lump sum to its growth plans.
Because there are no assets involved, the risk is higher for the lender, so the costs are higher than the guaranteed equivalents. However, this is often a moot point for smaller businesses that are less likely to have assets in the first place – in which case, unsecured funding may be the only available option.
unsecured small business loans are based on the strength of its business, and lenders look closely at their margins of profit and turnover to determine affordability. Operations history is also important, since it indicates if it is growing steadily, stagnant, or declining. To obtain an unsecured loan, will have to be consistent with that income, and if things are slow and that it will be difficult to convince a lender to finance your business without security. (LoansOne)
common feature of the director loansOne of unsecured business loans and personal guarantees is a greater emphasis on individual directors involved. Often, they will be asked the directors to give a personal guarantee – which means that if the company does not pay, the burden of repayment corresponds to the directors who have offered one. Counterintuitively, this means that a non-guaranteed loan is often indirectly 'secured' on personal property such as capital of the House Director. While this thought is an unpleasant experience for some, it is important to remember that personal guarantees are both a declaration of commitment as anything else – the company you want to demonstrate your confidence in your business by having some skin in the same game. In vein, some lenders offer loans 'director', which technically is a personal loan, but to be used only for commercial purposes.

I have downloaded the loop community pack a couple times, but it will not sound in Abelton live. It keeps saying media files missing. Could you give me some guidance on how to fix this.... thanks.
@donaldnwx I was having some panning issues of my own last week (just purchased ableton) and found it was a settings issue. I am using a pretty run of the mill Toshiba but it had some surround sound and Toshiba settings auto set that caused things to bleed through. I turned off all of the effects and it now works as simple as the videos make it! Hopefully you have figured it out by now but thought I'd post nonetheless...
How do you get the vocal cues to show up in your drum rack?
I did a side-by-side with a bunch of interfaces a while back and found (surprisingly) that an Art USB Dual Pre (http://www.sweetwater.com/store/detail/USBDualPrePS/) sound better than a lot of more expensive interfaces. It's not much money and is dead simple.
@donaldnwx Unfortunately channel bleed is a common problem on headphone outputs and cheaper audio interfaces. A decent audio interface should solve them problem or even two cheaper ones (I can't afford a very nice multiple output interface, but do have a cheaper one i use for click and cues which just go to the iems, and another better one for stereo loop therefore there can't be any bleed between channels for just iems and channels that the congregation hear)
@donalddnwx Just pan the cues and click left and the loop right. That will do a full split in your headphone out.

| Yuri has established cloning facilities in Sydney, Australia. It is believed he plans to clone the world leaders. We must put an end to this operation at any cost.
- Mission Briefing
Clones Down Under is an Allied operation in Yuri's Revenge. It was part of a Cloning errand, Yuri was trying to do before a treaty was made in London, England between US President, Michael Dugan and Soviet Premier, Romanov.
Einstein has thanked the Allied Commander for his daring rescue in Egypt from Yuri's Psychic Dominator blunder. The German Chancellor was happy to see his scientist, who helped the Allied forces against Yuri's Army, returned home.
Meanwhile, General Carville and his intelligence officer, Eva has told the Allied Commander that Yuri is secretly making clones of Allied leaders at a cloning laboratory located in Sydney, one of Australia's most important cities. The Allied Commander is then sent to the city, tasked with destroying the cloning facility.
Yuri deployed Boomer submarines in the area to defend his cloning lab, Eva warns the Commander that they are armed with both torpedoes and missiles.
Key Units/Buildings
- There is a small glitch in this mission: three convoy trucks are placed in the southeast corner of the map. Despite they are labeled as "Truck (loaded)," destroying the trucks do not yield bonus crates.
- Civilian traffic moves on set paths along the roads of the city in this mission. If the player captures the means to mind control technology, (Psychic Towers or Yuri Clones), and use them to mind control a civilian vehicle moving on a path, one will find that any vehicle mind controlled from their set path will be replaced by another that drives into the map from the outside.
- Using Rules.ini editing, the editor can give civilian vehicles weapons, and then use this method to assault the enemy base with 50 Jeeps sporting tank cannons, and 50 sports cars with machine guns, if he truly wishes.

Phoenix NAACP Boss Don Harris Likes "Tits," Not N-Word
Don Harris, chief of the Maricopa County NAACP, exclaims, "Nice tits!" about a female TV reporter after attending a meeting about eradicating the n-word.
Ray Stern
(UPDATE January 29: The president of the Phoenix-based chapter of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People defends his credibility after sexist remarks.)
Don Harris, head of the Maricopa County chapter of the NAACP, is concerned about the lack of sensitivity to black people.
He was one of 40 or 50 community leaders and educators invited by the Tempe Union High School District to attend a private meeting on Tuesday about a widely shared photo of six high school girls spelling the n-word with letters on their T-shirts. The group agreed to push a movement to eradicate use of the n-word.
Then, after the meeting, Harris exclaimed about a Channel 12 News (KPNX-TV) reporter: "Nice tits!"
Respect for women apparently isn't on Harris' radar. The 77-year-old lawyer is certainly no stranger to controversy.
From his five-month appointment as Maricopa County Attorney in 1976 to his failed bid for the same post against Andrew Thomas in 2004 to his current post as a white, Jewish leader of the state's largest NAACP chapter, Harris — a former U.S. Marine officer who served in Vietnam — is known for brash, politically incorrect comments.
Still, Harris' off-handed remarks on Tuesday, following a high-powered meeting about the need to rid society of an offensive word, were a new twist.
"How did this meeting fix anything?" asked a Channel 12 cameraman of Harris near the entrance of the TUHSD headquarters at 500 West Guadalupe. This followed several other questions by New Times and Channel 12 reporter Monique Griego, an Arizona native who worked as a reporter in out-of-state TV markets until moving back to the Phoenix area in 2014.
"It doesn't fix anything," Harris replied on camera. "We're on a pathway now to making things better."
"Thank you so much, I appreciate it," Griego told him, then immediately introduced herself to another meeting participant.
Harris turned to New Times as a reporter asked, "Can you just talk about the . . ." and made his enthusiastic comment about Griego. Then, a few seconds later, he said it again: "Nice tits."
Griego said she wasn't authorized by her station to comment about the incident.
New Times called Harris today at the NAACP office to ask a few questions about his ribald observation.

"The meeting was over," he says. "I apologize if anyone was offended. I could have said nothing . . . I'm really fucking sorry."
Harris reiterated that the meeting concerning the n-word had concluded — a meeting in which he had pledged $5,000 for the anti-N-word effort.
Asked if any kind of effort should be waged to eradicate sexist comments, as well as racist, Harris went off on a tear.
"I'm going to slash my wrists," he spews. "Better yet, I'm going to throw myself out of a fucking window, except I'm on the first floor . . . I'm one of the best goddamned people in the state."
People criticized him when he first took over the NAACP chief post from the Reverend Oscar Tillman, who retired in 2014 after 22 years in the position, he says, because "I was the wrong flavor.
"They've seen me now, they've seen what I've done. I've given up my law practice. I'm down here six, seven days a week. That's what my commitment is. I support NOW, the women's organization — goddamn! — are you shitting me? Are you going to write this up?"
After getting a response he didn't like, Harris hung up.
No doubt he's back working to eradicate an offensive word.

Americana & Bluegrass Concert in the Woods
Armstrong Redwoods State Natural Reserve
Saturday, September 16th, 2017
The Annual Old Grove Festival takes place at the historic Redwood Forest Theater in Armstrong Redwoods SNR in September. This beautiful open-air theatre was built in the 1930s. Concerts and theatrical events took place there for decades until the theater was closed in the 1980s out of concern for natural resource protection. In 2006, the theater was reopened for limited use. Event reservations are limited to alleviate environmental impacts and due to parking limitations.
The Old Grove Festival features an outstanding variety of musical and theatrical productions that help Stewards raise funds to support our educational and stewardship programs, as well as, continued advocacy for ALL State Parks.
Reminiscent of genre-benders like Jack White, Chris Thile, and Sam Bush, Americana band Dead Winter Carpenters harmoniously blends refined musical ability with a scarcely restrained tendency to let it all hang out. The result is a controlled burn, a riveting sound, and a connection with fans that sells out shows and has the band sharing stages with the likes of Jason Isbell, Greensky Bluegrass, and Hard Working Americans.
One Grass Two Grass delivers high energy, hard driving, fun loving, old-timey, new-timey, good-timey, California string band music.

'So tell me the truth Karen,' he hissed impatiently, totally out of character, 'are you angry at what I've done or are you just mad at every man in the world after what Charlie did to you?'
He knew how to pull her strings, how to make her respond. He knew which questions would tug and play in her mind and conscience, and which would provoke reactions. He smiled ruefully at her, resisting the temptation to push her up against the locker she stood next to and kiss her and wrap his fingers in her ravishing locks of blonde-brown hair…
The bell rang brashly, deflecting against the white walls of the hallway, snapping Rob out of his temporary trance.
Karen glared furiously at the sheer impertinence of his question. After all that he had done to her, how dare he ask her such a personal and subjective question? Taking a sharp intake of breath to calm her slightly, Karen replied, in as much of a neutral tone as possible,
'What makes you think my private life is anything to do with you Rob? And how do you know about Charlie?'
He sighed out awkwardly, not having anticipated this kind of reaction from her. She was normally stone cold, she didn't reflect her emotions and she certainly didn't talk to anyone about how she felt. But he had struck a nerve with that question, and was regretting it quite sincerely. Rob leant slightly on the locker next to him. He stared intently at her, not angrily but impartially, but she did not look away or quiver under his gaze. She was so beautiful, so strong. But why did he have to hurt her like this? He should have known it would be a sensitive subject for her.
'You seem to forget that my partner left me as well Karen, for another person. I also have a family that was ripped apart. And I'm not saying your private life is any of my business, but you don't have to take it out on me because you're still mad at Charlie.'
Rob saw Karen's left eye twitch slightly, and, before she quickly wiped it away, he swore he saw a small tear run down her cheek. Oh crap, he thought, he didn't want to make her cry,
'Why did you kiss me when you were married then?' Karen continued, ignoring the last few moments of speech in their argument. She too leant against the lockers, a small sarcastic smile appearing on her face. She tilted her head slightly in a kind of questioning way.
Rob snapped from his almost regressive state and he replied coolly, but now his voice was gaining new levels of volume, reciprocating her words, 'What makes you think my private life is any of your business?'
A flicker of annoyance and disbelief splashed across her face before almost snarling, almost shouting, 'You were the one who kissed me. You made it my business.'
Karen turned and began to stride purposely down the corridor, amidst many pupils staring at the two in bewilderment. She had almost reached the door when a voice came from very close behind her.
'Stop being so angry because of what one person did to you. This kind of thing happens to lots of people, crap happens all the time. I understand what it's like, I really do, but you need to stop making such a big fuss about it Karen,' he whispered soothingly in her ear, sending shivers spiralling through her system. She stared hard at the floor, trying to suppress her emotion. Karen turned around and found herself face to face with Rob, who was looking ever so slightly weary. She herself had utterly failed to notice that half the school (teachers and a very excited Janeece included) had packed themselves into this one corridor just to see what was happening.
She honestly didn't know she was going to do what she did next. Without replying to his dastardly, obviously false statement about her, Karen raised her right hand and slapped Rob hard around the face, causing a red handprint to appear on his unusually pale cheeks.
A loud ooooooh erupted from the crowd and Karen turned red when she saw students in the corridor taking pictures and videos on their mobiles, but then they all fell into an utter chasm of silence.
Too upset to say anything else, Karen shot an almost apologetic glance towards Rob who wasn't injured (well not physically, loss of pride hurts a lot more than slapped flesh) and turned on her heel and walked back down the corridor. She almost ran, wanting to be alone. She wanted to be at home, in bed, just having a hellish nightmare. But this kind of stuff and situation was too mild for nightmares, but just so sincerely perfect for real life; the humiliation, the pain, the raw emotion, and then the defeat. She had lost. She had lost the moment that she started contemplating slapping him.
Karen took a small sideways glance to the right and saw tens upon hundreds of faces just staring blankly at her, their mouths wide open like goldfish, the rest of their expressions utterly shell shocked.
'Karen,' someone called out unexpectedly. Halfway down the corridor, right in the middle of the little arena that had been formed around them. Karen turned, and before she could even register his figure moving towards her, his hands were thrice upon her cheeks and he gently pulled her face forwards slightly and kissed her.
Karen did not hear the roars and shouts, claps and cheers, seemingly deafening wolf-whistles and the click of every single camera. She did not think about the consequences of the kiss, not about what people might say or do, she didn't even think about how angry she believed she was at this man. She didn't even know how to feel around him anymore.
But all she thought about was kissing him, how surreal everything was; how his lips moulded perfectly onto hers, how he made it feel so enchanting and enticing and how he made her never want to stop. Oh, how she wished she didn't have to breathe, just one more second of this total paradise…
Slowly and extraordinarily reluctantly, Rob removed his lips from hers, but kept his hands on her cheeks and wiped away the tears that rapidly fell from her wildly blinking eyes soon after. Letting their foreheads rest against one another, he clutched her as she cried into his shirt. Why was she crying? But he soon found the answer; prejudice. Everyone now knew that the headmistress was dating the janitor and she was going to get a rough time for it. He knew that she wasn't going to be able to cope with all this.
'You know Karen,' he whispered, 'I really shouldn't kiss you in public,'
She looked up at him sadly and disappointedly, and went to remove herself from his hold on her. Instead, he chuckled and pulled her in even closer, 'People might talk.' He finished, his lips sweeping over her ear and temple. Suddenly a thought collided into Karen's mind,
'I don't care. I don't care if people see us like this.' Before he could reply, Karen put her right hand on the back of his head, clutched his hair in her fingers and yanked him into another kiss. He was surprised, but kissed her back furiously, his lips burrowing deeper into hers with every passing second. Somehow her tongue found its way into his mouth and locked with his own. He tugged at her waist possessively, deepening the kiss ever further.
'Oi, oi, oi, what's going on here? Everyone get to class, the bell went seven minutes ago,' Chris Mead, deputy head and science teacher, called down the hallway, his view of what everyone was staring at blocked by around three hundred people.
'Nothing much is happenin Sir. Just, Mrs Fisher and Mister Scotcher are having a lovely time exchanging saliva!' someone yelled out bluntly, and the whole crowd cracked up laughing, like in the old sitcoms. Chris pondered for a second before the crowd parted and Chris walked through the front.
Chris shook his head at the pair, still kissing in the middle of the corridor, oblivious to anything else that was going on, 'Everyone get to class now, or I'll put you all in detention after school this evening!' Chris yelled, attempting to warden everyone off. After several minutes of hounding everyone and shouting at the top of his lungs, the majority of onlookers had dispersed, still muttering and chattering in disbelief about what had just happened.
When Chris was the only person left in the corridor (save the still kissing couple), he cleared his throat loudly and obviously. Karen and Rob let their lips part and they both breathed out heavily yet happily. Karen then realized what she had just done.
'Wasn't really the most professional way of telling everyone was it?' Chris called out cheekily, physically not able to stop himself. Karen shot him a steely glare before turning back to Rob,
'I'm so sorry Rob,' she whispered shakily, 'I'm so, so sorry. This is going to be so difficult now that everyone knows. And everyone is so damned prejudice now that…'
'You're worth it,' Rob interrupted callously and in a hushed tone, 'Karen let everyone talk. You're so worth any insults or rumours or whatever.'
Chris slipped away at some point during this conversation, chuckling slightly, not wanting to intrude. Although half the school already had, he thought the two should be left in private.
Well, it wasn't the ideal way for everyone to find out, but Rob and Karen would deal with the consequences and various pictures and videos uploaded on Facebook later, all they needed now was each other. And they were both willing to give themselves.
'You do realize what we've just done?' Rob asked seriously after another kiss. Karen nodded, still in a bit of shock from the whole event. But she knew that she didn't care. Deep down inside of her was the mad, insecure woman who questioned and probed everything, looking for a fault in every relationship. But this was who she truly was, and she wasn't going to let society dictate her emotions and how she felt about this amazing man in front of her. It would be a struggle and she wasn't sure how well it would go, but they would both try. She told him this and he pressed his lips to her forehead, before he picked her up bridal style (which caused a shout of mirth and delight to emit from Karen) and carried her to his office…

Following on the heels of Crimson Tide extending offers to Cleveland Glenville's Erick Smith, Marcelys Jones and Marshon Lattimore, Alabama has now offered Toledo Central Catholic quarterback DeShone Kizer.
"I'm very excited and humbled to say I was offered by the University of Alabama this morning by Coach (Nick) Saban," Kizer said in a text message.
Kizer, 6-foot-5, 200-pounds, is one of the top 2014 prospects in Ohio. A dual-threat quarterback, he is coming off a sparkling junior season in which he led Toledo Central Catholic to the Ohio Division-II state title.
Alabama is the second SEC team to offer Kizer in the past week, coming on the heels of LSU who offered last Thursday.
Kizer also holds offers from the likes of Arkansas, Kentucky, Illinois, Michigan State, Penn State, Tennessee, and others.

Going out on the speaking circuit you're fortunate to meet people from all sorts of backgrounds and from every type of business you can imagine. As I prepare to speak at my third Gravity Summit next week at UCLA, I am sure I'll get several more folks who say something I hear a lot.
"What you're doing is great but I work for a smaller brand," anonymous networking pro says. "We don't have big budgets and the type of attention TurboTax gets."
While I understand, and fully accept their view, I believe it is somewhat of an excuse. Yes, 20 Million people use TurboTax in around 90 days. That means the spotlight is hot and bright. At the same time, business pros and their companies need to use social media in a way that makes sense for their business.
Because some of us work for brands that have ridiculous multi-million dollar ad campaigns that help expose the brands to millions, that doesn't mean you can't use social media and social networks to help your customers and your business.
Remember not to get caught up in brands with thousands of followers or fans on Facebook. The key is to get started and find what works for you and your customers or enthusiasts. Don't get intimidated or think it can't be done if you're behind. Time is running out but the point is to get off the bench and in the game.
There are plenty of big brands out there who haven't meaningfully done anything yet in social media. Having a Twitter account isn't participating. Having online communities is a great start and necessary, but that's not a dialogue with customers.
You should have a default toward action and don't let fear, budgets or red tape lead you to inaction.

Animal Folk Tales, Part 4
By Joseph Thomas
Many years ago two brothers were far from home on a hunting expedition. They became lost in the jungle and for several days they drifted further and further from their home. One evening, as they were setting up their camp for the night, they separated to look for food, water, and firewood. After some time the younger brother, unable to find any water or food, sat down to rest. A bluebird began to flutter about in the trees above him and repeated, I know where your parents are! I know where your parents are!. He looked around to see who was addressing him but saw no one. The bluebird again sang, I know where your parents are! I know where your parents are! The young man asked the bluebird where he could find his parents and home. The bluebird said that he would take the brothers through the forest, and to their home in return for three insects. The younger brother ran back to their camp and soon returned with his older brother. They quickly found several insects and offered them to the bluebird. They followed the bluebird for several days, but finally arrived at their home. The two brothers were so overjoyed at finally seeing their parents again, they promised that they and their descendents would always feed hungry birds. This is why, to this day, birds sing to humans, and humans feed birds.
One day the gods looked down on the earth and summoned the dung beetle to deliver a message to the humans. They instructed the dung beetle to tell humans they must eat only once every three days, or the earth would become covered in human waste. If they continue to eat every day, soon the earth will not be fit to farm or live upon, they warned. However, the dung beetle instead told the humans that they must eat three times every day. When the gods asked the beetle what it had told the people, and why they were eating three times a day, the gods were angered at the answer. To punish the dung beetle for its error, the gods have condemned it to spend its days digging to bury dung.
As you can see, long ago all living things could talk. Humans, insects, birds, fish, furry animals, and lizards all conversed. So we should wonder why this is no longer true. The gods looked down one day and saw that this arrangement caused too many problems. Whenever one creature desires to kill and eat another there is an endless discussion amongst all the beasts as to whether this should be allowed, the gods thought. Whenever a fox wishes to eat a chicken, or a bird wants to eat an insect, or a man slaughters an ox or buffalo, there are endless objections and controversies. We must leave man alone to discuss what is right or wrong, and strike all other animals dumb. All other creatures will exist for the benefit of humans; for men to raise, slaughter, and hunt. But this means that all animals can also hunt each other creature, including humans, without dispute, protest or litigation, the gods declared.

Pieters Antoine comes to Louisville after two seasons as an assistant coach at Ohio University under head coach Lynn Bria. She also served one season as an assistant coach at College of Charleston and one year as a graduate assistant at Ohio University. Pieters Antoine was a four-year letterwinner and three-year starter for Colorado State from 1993-98.
Pieters Antoine played for Collen her senior year when she helped the Rams to a 24-6 record and a second-round appearance in the NCAA tournament. She also left as the third-leading shot blocker with 56 total blocks and the seventh-leading rebounder with 601 total rebounds. On the single-season CSU list, she ranked fifth in offensive rebounds with 74 and seventh in blocks with 23.
"I believe that Zenarae is a diamond in the rough," said Tom Collen. "She has the potential to be a top recruiter in the country. She has a great passion for this business and wants to be a head coach one day. Because she played for me, she knows what I am looking for in a player on and off the court."
Collins will move into an administrative position this season after serving as an assistant coach last season. Last season he served as the scouting coordinator and worked with the post players on the court. Prior to coming to Louisville, Collins served as an assistant athletic director at DuPont Manual High School. He was also the junior varsity head coach and assistant varsity coach.
The Lady Crimsons advanced to the semifinals of the state tournament in 2000 and recorded a runner-up finish in 2001. He also coaches the Derek Smith All-Stars AAU team.
"After being around Greg for six weeks in the interim basis I decided he was invaluable to the program," said Collen. "He has great contacts throughout the state from his coaching at DuPont Manual. He brings a great energy and personality to the staff. He is a tireless worker and his basketball knowledge warrants that he should be an associate coach, so he is a steal for us to have in this position."
Bell comes to Louisville after working with the WNIT as a site coordinator. She also served as an assistant soccer coach for the Fort Collins Force, a semi-pro soccer team, from 2000-01. While in Colorado she ran an acceleration program for speed and sports performance in Loveland.
She also formed Dynamic Sport Performance. Through Dynamic Sports Performance she served as a consultant for the 1996 U. S. Olympic Team Handball team in Atlanta, Ga.
"We are honored to have Fran on our staff full-time," said Collen. "There is not a more knowledgable person in the country in terms of conditioning, injury prevention and strength training. This is a unique position for us, one we have added unlike any other program in the country. She will also have a variety of responsibilities that were formerly associated with the director of basketball operations."

Reapers are among the most intelligent breed of Spectres.
They are brutal, cunning, and have several powers to put to use against their enemies. Reapers tend to head Spectral hives, dispensing orders to less powerful breeds. They resemble the classic appearance of the Grim Reaper, complete with cloak and scythe; some also have rattling chains they can use like tentacles. With the exception of Clement Wallace, Reapers have never been human in origin.

Synopsis for "The Gathering of Heroes"
The Spectre drops of the JSA (each of whom are slightly glowing with yellowish energy) in the home dimension of Abraxis, then returns to his own battle. The JSA invade Abraxis' castle and Abraxis returns a portion of his consciousness to his body in order to fight them. The battle rages on outside the castle where the unnamed natives watch and experience hope for the first time in their lives. Numerous husks arrive to join the fight against the heroes but the unnamed native male joins in. Hawkman rescues the native who helped them and, in touching him, imbues him with some of the yellowish energy he had. The native discovers he can use the energy to zap the husks. Realizing that it was residual god-like energy, Hawkman tells the JSA to start touching (and thereby empowering) the natives. The natives, in turn, use their powers to join the fight. Abraxis, unable to maintain a five front battle, begins to lose on all of them. The JSA, now depleted of the god-energy, begin to age and wear out but choose to continue the battle. Spectre arrives telling them they must return to Ragnarok and that the natives can finish the fight now. Instinctively understanding the situation, the unnamed native urges the heroes to leave, which they do. The natives figure out that they can combine their energy by joining hands and they form a chain unleashing their energy towards Abraxis, presumably destroying him.
Many of the time-displaced heroes regroup and Spectre tells them what has happened and that the JSA have returned to their limbo. However, Waverider appears bringing the JSA with him. He tells all that instead of taking the JSA back, he brought the Daemen to the limbo to fight in the JSA's place. The JSA is back to stay.
- It is unclear how much of this story is still canon as the simultaneous existence of both the JSA's Carter Hall and Hawkworld's Katar Hol will be negated in future retcons following Zero Hour.
- In the Last Days of the JSA Special, the JSA sacrificed themselves to eternally fight/die/be resurrected in order to save the universe. The Daemen were villains and had no compunction of sacrificing their entire universe to enslavement under Abraxis' rule. Why Waverider would transport them in the JSA's place and why they would choose/continue to choose to fight this never-ending battle to save a universe about which they do not seem to care is unclear.
- No trivia.
