PORTLAND, Ore. Oregon's leading theologian walks his dog down the trendy streets of the Pearl District. His neighbors know Henry, the shaggy gray Glen of Imaal terrier, whose short legs set the pace.
But few recognize Marcus J. Borg, the graying guy in the wool cap, as the spokesman for a different approach to Jesus Christ.
At 64, Borg is a public theologian and a private mystic. He writes best-selling books on theology and reads murder mysteries. He was trained at Oxford University and teaches at Oregon State. He lives in a neighborhood overflowing with espresso but drinks Taster's Choice instant decaf.
But mostly, his is a polite and progressive voice in an often intense conversation about who Jesus was and what his life may mean to his modern followers.
Borg talks, primarily, to three decidedly different groups: his students, who are mostly undergraduates; his readers, who are mostly Christians who question long-held beliefs about Jesus; and his critics, who are mostly evangelical or orthodox Christians, who confess their beliefs in familiar terms. Jesus was, they say, conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of a virgin, suffered for human sins, died, rose from the dead, ascended into heaven and will come again.
Borg sees Jesus differently.
As a historian and biblical scholar, Borg was a member of the Jesus Seminar, a scholarly group that spent years evaluating historical evidence of Jesus' life and sayings. Borg emerged from the process with deeper faith in Jesus and a different understanding of Scripture.
Borg interprets the Bible and its descriptions of Jesus as a mixture of memory and metaphor, better suited to preserving meaning than as a list of beliefs fashioned by Jesus' followers that Christians must believe.
"For me, to believe a set of statements is impossible," Borg says. What is possible, he argues, is to "belove" Jesus and walk in his path.
"For the past 300 years," Borg says, "faith was a matter of believing a list of beliefs about Jesus. The list varied among Christians — that Jesus was the son of God, that he was born of a virgin, that the tomb was empty on Easter morning.
"But in the pre-modern world, before about 1600, the object of belief was never a statement," he says. "It was always a person. To believe meant to 'belove' a person. To 'belove' Jesus means more than simply loving Jesus. It means to love what Jesus loved. That is at the heart of Christianity."
Faith, Borg says, is a matter of living in relationship with Jesus and working politically, first for justice and then for peace.
Borg has taught religion at Oregon State for 28 years. He'll retire this spring and continue his writing and speaking, but says he knows already that he'll miss his weekly encounters with undergraduates.
"There is something wonderful about their openness," he says in his cluttered office on the Corvallis campus.
His fans, the ones who read his books and fill church halls as he travels the country talking about Jesus, express their admiration with a sense of humor. They wear T-shirts proclaiming themselves "Borg Again Christians" and, borrowing from Star Wars, "May the 'phors (as in "metaphors") be with you."
"There is a hunger for something other than a fundamentalist, literal understanding of the Bible," says the Rev. Tom Tate, pastor of Portland's Rose City Park United Methodist Church. He says he doesn't always buy traditional views, and "Borg has given me the courage to come out and say certain things."
Borg's critics are his toughest audience, but one he is determined to engage. He says he accepts every chance he gets to talk to them in public settings, preferably with an opportunity for questions and answers.
In February, Borg debated Oregon State history professor Gary Ferngren before 750 people. The exchanges on the heart of Christianity sparked a few good-natured jibes and an unexpected measure of laughter.
Borg asked for a quick show of hands; fewer than a third of the audience was sympathetic to his position, a third was already in Ferngren's camp, and the rest came to listen. He was fine with those percentages.
"I'm not so interested in changing people's minds," he says, "as to let them hear and see a Christian like me instead of reading people who are critical of us."
Paul Metzger, a theology professor at Multnomah Biblical Seminary, is very clear about where he disagrees with Borg.
"I appreciate Professor Borg's emphasis on Jesus having been crucified for his identification with the poor and oppressed, a point often lost on many conservatives," Metzger says. "But there is more: Jesus' suffering was part and parcel of his dying for the sins of the world. Jesus was also raised bodily from the dead to bring new life."
That said, Metzger appreciates the serious and civil debate that Borg encourages. The alternatives to that are dangerous, he says.
"If people don't dialogue because they think that only their ideas matter, or if we put all the ideas to the side and just go for some neutral frame of reference, neither is meaningful."
And meaning, Borg would say, is the point of the Bible, of Jesus and of Christianity.
Jesus "is for us the decisive revelation of God — of what can be seen of God's character and passion in human life," Borg says. "But for followers of Jesus, the unending conversation about Jesus is the conversation that matters most."

HOUSTON (AP) Texas had the nation's highest birth rate among teenagers ages 15 to 19 in 2004, according to a newly released study of children's health. The Kids Count study, which is updated annually by the Annie E. Casey Foundation in Baltimore, said the Texas rate of 63 births per 1,000 teens remained the same from 2003 to 2004.
Texas tied New Mexico and Mississippi for the top spot in 2003, but both of those states saw their rates decline in 2004. The average rate nationally was 41 births per 1,000 teens in 2004.
Texas mirrored the rest of the nation in reporting a steep decline in teen births since at least 1990.
"Texas has been showing improvement, but other states are showing more improvement," said Frances Deviney, director of Texas Kids Count and a senior research associate for the Center for Public Policy Priorities in Austin.
According to the study, Hispanic teens are more than 3 1/2 times as likely as Anglos to have a baby. Blacks are more than twice as likely as their white peers to give birth.
Observers were divided on whether Texas' emphasis on abstinence in sex education contributes to the state's relatively high numbers. A 1995 law requires school districts to emphasize abstinence in sex education classes.
"It's a touchy subject," said Robert Sanborn, president of Children at Risk. "We can preach abstinence quite a bit, and there is nothing wrong with that, but it doesn't affect some kids, and apparently it's really not working in Texas."
Don McLeroy, president of the State Board of Education, noted that sex education is mainly a local issue, with state law requiring each district to have a local committee that decides what will be taught.
"The idea that just giving them a lot of information is going to solve it, I think, is kind of naive," he said. "Certainly, it's more of a societal problem than it is a school problem."
Christine Markham, an assistant professor for health promotion and behavioral science at the University of Texas Health Science Center in Houston, said her studies of sexually active middle schoolers showed that educators need to provide information to students about sexual health and development before they reach high school.
"A lot of parents want to talk to their child about sex and dating, but they don't know how to start the conversation," she said.

I think I'm steadily getting more involved in this wiki. I don't see why I shouldn't, I love the series and know a bit about it. I'm usually a cautious editor. I don't have any mods yet, and I won't be a good source of screenshots (my camera's not that good at it), and I'm not fully adjusted to playing FPS games yet (I tend to make stupid mistakes and not use cover or conventional tactics/weapons in firefights), but hey, I love the series! Three things in particular about it:
1. I HATE ICHTHYOSAURS! I think the HL1 Ichth is more frightening appearance-wise than the HL2 one.
2. I love the .357 Magnum's reloading animation in HL2
3. I love killing Hunters by running them over with the car

HONOLULU (AP) -- The Huffington Post and subscription-based news website Honolulu Civil Beat announced Wednesday that they plan to partner in a new site dedicated to Hawaii news.
The online outlets said HuffPost Hawaii is expected to launch in the fall, with content from both Civil Beat and the Huffington Post.
Arianna Huffington, president and editor in chief of Huffington Post Media Group, says the site will share stories both about Hawaii as a destination to visit and as a place to live. She says the site will also be a platform for Hawaii residents to share their stories, part of the Huffington Post's mission.
"We want to bring that to Hawaii to encourage a robust conversation," Huffington said in a video posted to the Huffington Post website.
The site will cover everything from beaches to the state's economy, Huffington said.
"It's a little bit like our life, it's a mixture of everything," she said.
Civil Beat was created in 2010 by eBay founder Pierre Omidyar, who now serves as the site's CEO and publisher. Omidyar says Civil Beat will focus more deeply on public affairs and investigative journalism.
"It lets us focus on what we like to do best and we will be able to bring new forms of content to the Hawaii audience," Omidyar said.
Financial terms of the deal were not disclosed, though Omidyar said in a post on Civil Beat that any partnership has to make financial sense for both parties.
Civil Beat runs on a subscription model, with access costing roughly $20 monthly.
Patti Epler, Civil Beat's editor, said Civil Beat plans to hire several journalists to staff HuffPost Hawaii. Civil Beat would stick to its formula and keep its journalists focused on the subscription site, she said, and take advantage of Huffington Post's distribution.
"We plan to bolster our in-depth enterprise reports as well as our analysis of developing stories," Epler said.
Epler said the partnership is similar to partnerships Huffington Post has with news agencies Asahi Shimbun in Japan and Le Monde in France.

Eleven students from the Chinese Mandarin program at Seton Catholic Preparatory received Young Leadership and Talent Awards presented by Phoenix Mayor Greg Stanton during a 35th anniversary ceremony of the Phoenix and Taipei, Taiwan Sister Cities relationship. The Seton students were honored recently at a ribbon cutting ceremony for a new exhibit at Phoenix City Hall by Master Chen Yang Chun, a Taiwan national treasure artist.
Phoenix Sister Cities Taipei Committee Chair Lin Ling Lee selected Seton Catholic Prep for this honor in celebration of the 35th anniversary. Lee presented the Seton students with medals and gifts, including artwork from Master Chen. The Chinese Mandarin course of study at Seton was recognized for inspiring the talents of young leaders to achieve success and express creativity in language, art and calligraphy.
In addition to learning the Chinese language, Seton students participate in hands-on activities with Chinese culture and traditions such as calligraphy, painting, sports, folk arts and crafts, and cultural dances.

So the series is tied 2-2 and the city of Boston is in a state of emergency and haters are having a field day. Note to Stern if you want people to get interested in the NBA, just have the Celtics lose, I never seen so many non basketball fans so ecstatic for a game.But I'm not worried though, even if it is a sub .500 team because its called a second season for a reason. Everything prior doesn't mean a thing. But the real reason I'm not concerned is because I knew this would happen.
Yes, I predicted this
even though I predicted a sweep earlier and here's the reason why. No its not KG folding under pressure, or Doc Rivers being outcoached or of course my favorite "reason" a 66 win team being overrated. Actually this problem been brewing all season long, the Celtics can't keep up with run and gun teams. Thats why the Bobcats gave them hell all year, the Warriors as well, as did the Wizards (who LeBron should take care of in Game 5). Why because the Celtics were built to beat the top tier teams with lockdown half court defense. That is hard to do with teams just running up and down the court basically playing street ball.
That's how the Mavs lost to the Warriors last year but the Celtics will not make the same mistake, plus the Hawks can't win on the road. But hell it's been fun to watch though, but the Celtics wrap this up in 6, a blowout in game 5 and a down to the wire game 6. Hell maybe it'll go 7, but I'm calling the Hawks bluff, they have the youth, momentum and a new bandwagon of Boston haters(i wonder how many bandwagoners will be at game 6 eh Mike Bibby)but can the Hawks pull it off. I dont think so, but by all means prove me wrong
Joe Johnson and Josh Smith have been great this series but they are the only sure things. Horford turns if off and on, and Bibby is supposed to lead but rather follow. And another thing is that they don't play defense, aside from a couple blocks from behind they basically have a "if they shoot we can hurry up and get the ball back" mentality and thats what's ultimately going to shoot them in the foot
But instead of waiting for them to beat themselves, this is how the Celtics need to beat the Hawks.
1. KG, KG and more KG- There is no one on that team that can stop you. Stop playing media darling I'm going to get my teammates involved and take over for once. Your becoming Tim Duncan but Duncan has Parker and Ginobili who could drop 40, Pierce and Allen drop 25 and their done for the night
2. Young meets Younger- Give the young guys a chance, let Big Baby go up against Josh Smith, you see how good Rondo has been?
3. Your the facking Celtics- Act like it
On another note, the Sixers they had a nice run as well but you had the dagger in your hand and dropped it, Game 4 at home up 2-1, they had that game and series in hand and blew it. I think the Pistons come back and pull it off in 7(yes im changing that prediction as well).

|First Appearance
|Mother 3 (2006)
|Home Stage
|Final Smash
|PK Starstorm
Lucas is the central character of Mother 3, out of seven main characters total. (Lucas, Kumatora, Duster, Boney, Claus, Flint, and Salsa). He is from Tazmily Village. He is the gentle twin of Claus. He usually uses sticks and baseball bats as his primary weapons, along with his powerful and strong signature PK Love power, which is the ability to pull the Seven Needles in order to wake the Dark Dragon that is sleeping underneath the Nowhere Islands.
Source: Mother Wiki
- : PK Freeze - Releases a blast of blue, snowflake-shaped PSI energy from above his head that can freeze opponents. The direction of the blast's path can be controlled, and the attack can be made stronger by holding the special button. Puts Lucas into helplessness if used in the air. Deals a good amount of shield damage. (9%-22%)
> : PK Fire- Releases a lightning bolt-shaped PSI projectile from his hands. Lucas' PK Fire does not result in a pillar of flame like Ness', but rather a small explosion of fiery PSI energy that launches an opponent backward. It is further differentiated from Ness' PK Fire in that it flies straight ahead regardless of whether it is launched on the ground or in midair. Lucas' PK Fire also slightly pushes him backwards, especially midair. (3% (lightning), 6% (fire))
^ : PK Thunder - Releases a purple, streaming electrical PSI projectile from his head. Like Ness' PK Thunder, it can be directed into Lucas to launch him. Unlike Ness' version, however, it does not disappear after hitting an opponent and instead hits multiple times. The latter also applies to his PK Thunder 2. (2.5% (projectile head), 0.8% (projectile tail rapid hits), 8% (PKT2 initial hit), 2% (PKT2 rapid hits 1-5), 1.5% (PKT2 rapid hits 6-10), 10% (PKT2 final hit))
v : PSI Magnet - Thrusts his arm forward and creates a blue, glowing orb of PSI energy around his outstretched hand. Any energy-based projectiles it absorbs will heal him, although it no longer absorbs energy projectiles that are launched directly at his back like it did in Brawl. Unlike Ness' PSI Magnet, Lucas' version can be used offensively, as it damages opponents inside of it when it dissipates and allows it to be used as a situational KOing option at high percentages. (8% (ending), heals 1.2x the damage of absorbed projectiles)
F : PK Starstorm - Summons a shower of falling stars. They descend in a column and can be angled in a fanning motion at any time in order to repeatedly hit opponents. (8% per hit)

…for their contribution to economy
From Isaac Akwetey-Okunor, Somanya
President Mills has highly commended cocoa and livestock farmers in the country for contributing $1.86 billion and $48.12 million respectively, in foreign exchange to the economy last year.
The President, who was speaking at the National Farmers Day held at Somanya in the Eastern Region over the weekend on the theme "Grow More Food," re-affirmed his commitment and determination to make the agriculture sector more attractive.
President Mills was however, quick to add that though the farmers performed well, the country still spent substantial amounts of money to import food that could have been produced locally.
"I am informed that in 2009, about US$500 million of our hard-earned foreign exchange was spent on the importation of rice. This colossal amount went to support foreign farmers and their economies at the expense of our own job-creating opportunities," he lamented.
Touching on the recent budget, President Mills said the duties imposed on selected food items in the 2011 budget were meant to address this gross imbalance.
He disclosed that the government was subsidising the 2010 farming season with 100,000 metric tonnes of fertilizers at an estimated cost of about GH¢32 million, as well as establishing about 80 agriculture mechanisation centers under the Public Private Partnership arrangement at the district level to increase the accessibility of mechanised services to the majority of farmers who cannot afford to procure and own their mechanised facilities.
Meanwhile, 60 year old Benjamin Adjetey Adjei, a resident of Oyibi, a farming community in the Greater Accra Region, was crowned the National Best Farmer, and took away a three bedroom house, trip to UK, Personal Accident Cover, DSTV, GH¢5,000 cash, GH¢4,000 Life Insurance Policy.
Mr. Maxwell Akadem of the Upper East Region, and Mr. Eric Midorse of Adoklu in the Affram Plains in the Kwahu South District of the Eastern Region, were adjudged 2nd and 3rd respectively.
They took home a tractor and a double cabin pick-up vehicle donated by Stanbic Bank at a cost of GH¢45,000.
Upper East farmers
Meanwhile, William N-lanjerborr also reports from Bolgatanga that farmers in the Upper East Region have reiterated the need for the government and its partners to construct more dams and give them more subsidies to boost dry season farming in the area.
The farmers, who made the call during the 26th edition of the Farmers Day celebration held at the Jubilee Park in Bolgatanga last Friday, reminded President Mills to fulfill his campaign promise of making farming lucrative by providing an enabling environment, and the necessary support for farmers to produce enough for the nation and for export.
Speaking on behalf of the farmers, Mr. John Alokodongo, also a farmer, said the region had started experiencing the dry season, and that many more farmers would have gone into dry season farming if there were enough irrigation dams in their various districts.
Mr. Alokodongo, who was adjudged the National Best in 1996, also called on the government to critically look at the operations of the Northern Star Tomato Factory (NSTF) at Pwalugu, which was still not capable of giving tomato farmers in the region the assurance they need to enable them go into large scale cultivation of the perishable vegetable.
Another serious worry of the farmers in the region was the fast deteriorating state of the defunct meat factory at Zuarungu in Bolgatanga.
While the factory is left to deteriorate, livestock farmers in the region continue to risk spending so much to transport their livestock to the south to sell, just for meager benefits.
They sometimes lose some of the animals on the journey.
Mr. Alokodongo and his colleague farmers warned that if things remain the way they are, "our food market here in Ghana will always benefit the European and American farmers, who enjoy subsidies from their governments. We are also looking forward to the day we will have mechanization centers dotted all over the region, to make land preparation and farming in general, less cumbersome in the region."
He called for a conscious plan to ensure that the Fumbisi Valley in the Builsa District becomes very useful to the region and nation at large, in the area of rice cultivation.
His call stemmed from the fact that the present level of farming in the valley was far below the viability of the land.
The celebration, which was under the theme; "Let us grow more food," saw a 33-year-old farmer from the Bawku Municipality, Martin Ariku Akudugu, taking home a thrasher, a bullock rigger, a radio set, four bags of fertiliser, fifty bottles of agro-chemicals and a knapsack sprayer, as well as a bicycle, as the Upper East Regional Best Farmer for the year 2010.
Seventeen other regional award winners also took home bicycles, wellington boots, pieces of cloth, and radio sets among other items. All the winners received certificates alongside the awards.
Bolgatanga MCE
The Bolgatanga Municipal Chief Executive, Mr. Epsona Ayamga, said the Assembly was implementing some programmes in the agriculture sector, including the Block Farming Project, under which 220 male and 77 female farmers had been sponsored to cultivate 714 acres of major staples such as rice, sorghum and soya beans.
There is also a Livestock Credit In Kind Project, under which 680 sheep and 120 goats have been given out to 80 beneficiaries in the Municipality, while11 valleys have been earmarked for future development under the Rice Sector Support Project.
The Upper East Regional Minister, Mr. Mark Woyongo, said in order to provide the needed funds to operationalise its agricultural policy, which seeks to ensure high productivity, and to make farming lucrative, the government has tasked the Ministry of Food and Agriculture to adopt the "Ghana Medium Term Agricultural Sector Investment Plan" for the period 2009-2015.
According to the Minister, this plan falls in line with Food and Agricultural Sector Development Policy (FASDEP II), as well as the ECOWAS Agricultural Policy, and the African Agricultural Development Programme, for which reason all stakeholders at the national and regional levels, as well as international partners, had all signed a memorandum of understanding with the government of Ghana, and had committed themselves to supporting this investment plan.
Mr. Woyongo said the government, upon realising that the continuous use of the traditional farming method and tools had over the years contributed to low productivity in the agriculture sector in the region and most parts of the country, continues to import and sell a number of tractors at subsidised prices in the region, through the Agric Mechanization Services Centers, to provide accessible and affordable tractor service to farmers in the region.

Rutledge's big night powers Rockies past DodgersAug 8, 2012 - 6:27 AM Los Angeles, CA (Sports Network) - Josh Rutledge had a career-high four hits and knocked in three runs to lead the Colorado Rockies past the Los Angeles Dodgers, 3-1, in the middle test of a three-game series at Dodger Stadium.
Josh Roenicke (4-0) earned the win with three scoreless innings of relief of starter Alex White, who allowed a hit and walked five over four innings.
Eric Young Jr. added three hits and two runs scored for Colorado, which won consecutive games for the first time since bookending the All-Star break from July 8-13 with victories over Washington and Philadelphia.
"I have to take advantage of my opportunities. I see my name in the lineup and I go out and hit," said Young.
The Rockies had not won games on back-to-back days since beating the Dodgers on June 3 and Arizona on June 4.
Aaron Harang (7-7) surrendered all three runs on six hits and four walks in six-plus innings for the Dodgers, who have lost five of their last eight.
The Rockies threatened in the top of the first inning after loading the bases with one out on a Young single, Rutledge's double and an intentional walk to Carlos Gonzalez.
They would come up empty, though, as Jordan Pacheco hit a grounder to first that James Loney threw home for the force before Ramon Hernandez grounded out to Harang to end the threat.
After the Dodgers left a man on third in the second inning and Colorado stranded a runner on second in the third, Los Angeles filled the bags with two outs in the home third on a pair of walks to Shane Victorino and Matt Kemp before an intentional walk to Andre Ethier following a couple of stolen bases by Victorino and Kemp as well as a wild pitch.
However, LA would also walk away empty handed as Hanley Ramirez flied out to left.
"It was a battle. I fell into some tough situations but I was able to make a few pitches to get out of them," said White.
The Rockies were able to break the scoreless tie in the fifth when Young hit a one-out single before rounding the bases on Rutledge's double off the wall in center field.
Dexter Fowler then reached first on Loney's missed catch error on a grounder to second before Gonzalez worked a walk to load the bases, but Pacheco grounded into an inning-ending double play to keep it a 1-0 game.
Rutledge pulled his third two-bagger of the contest into the left-field corner in the seventh inning off Shawn Tolleson to plate Chris Nelson and Young, giving Colorado a 3-0 advantage.
Harang gave up a single to Nelson and walked Young before getting removed in favor of Tolleson.
The Dodgers left a man on second in the seventh inning but got on the board in the eighth when Ramirez hit a two-out single and rounded the bases on Mark Ellis' pinch-hit double to left.
Los Angeles would get no closer, though, as Rafael Betancourt worked a perfect ninth to record his 19th save of the year.
"We had some opportunities, we just didn't get it done tonight," Dodgers manager Don Mattingly said. "Our guys need to relax and get good pitches to hit."
Game Notes
Kemp went 0-for-3 to snap a nine-game hit streak...Harang fell to 6-6 in 14 career starts against Colorado...The Rockies now lead the season series between the teams, 6-5...Colorado clinched its first series win at Dodger Stadium since winning two of three meetings from September 17-19, 2010.

Hawaii: Big Island | Kauai | Lanai | Maui | Molokai | Oahu | Book Your Hotel in Hawaii
Sometimes called "The Gathering Place," Oahu certainly lives up to its name. The third largest Hawaiian island is home to the majority of Hawaii's diverse population, a fusion of east and west cultures rooted in the values and traditions of the Native Hawaiian people. It's this fundamental contrast between the ancient and the modern that makes discovering Oahu so enjoyable.
The clear blue waters of Kailua Beach meet the metropolitan cityscapes of Honolulu. The historic architecture of Iolani Palace meets the timeless memorials of Pearl Harbor. The big city of Waikiki meets the small town of Haleiwa on the North Shore. Whether you're hiking atop iconic Leahi (Diamond Head), enjoying some of Hawaii's best shopping, or simply unwinding on the sands of the island's beautiful beaches, you'll find variety at every turn on Oahu.
Honolulu International Airport (HNL) on Oahu is Hawaii's major airport, serving as the entry point for most of Hawaii's visitors. All major domestic carriers and many international carriers serve Oahu, so you can get here from just about anywhere.
Home to the State Capitol, Honolulu is the vibrant epicenter of Hawaii. Here you'll find everything from historic landmarks and treasured monuments to world-class shopping and a flourishing arts and culture scene. Home to the majority of Oahu's population, the sprawling city of Honolulu spreads throughout the southeastern shores of Oahu, from Pearl Harbor to Makapuu Point, encompassing world famous Waikiki.
Leeward Coast
Most visitors to the Leeward Coast will be coming to visit the beautiful Ko Olina resort area. Home to the J.W. Marriott Ihilani Resort and Spa and Aulani, A Disney Resort & Spa, this 43-acre marina offers stretches of beautiful shoreline, ample opportunities for water sports and championship golf. Other attractions in the area include the Paradise Cove Luau and the Wet n' Wild Hawaii water park. Local beaches include Makaha Beach, one of the first spots where surfers began big wave surfing, and Yokohama Bay.
North Shore
If there is such a thing as a perfect wave, you'll likely find it on Oahu's North Shore. The big, glassy winter waves of this legendary surf mecca attract the best surfers in the world, while summer waves are far smaller and more gentle - all of which makes the North Shore the perfect surf spot for beginners and veterans alike.
Stretching for more than 7 miles, the beaches of the North Shore host the world's premier surfing competitions during the peak, winter months, including the Super Bowl of wave riding, the Vans Triple Crown of Surfing (November - December). Stroll in the thick sands of Waimea Bay, Ehukai Beach (Banzai Pipeline) and Sunset Beach - just leave the surfing to the pros.
Roughly a one hour drive from Waikiki, the North Shore is also home to various condo rentals, the luxurious Turtle Bay Resort and Haleiwa Town, where you can shop, eat like a local and cool off with rainbow flavored shave ice, the perfect way to end your day on the North Shore.

Tide Continues December Fade
Alabama lost its fourth game in last five outings in December and fell to 7-4. Mercer improved to 7-6. In its previous game, the Bears had lost by 58-49 to Georgia.
Crimson Tide Coach Anthony Grant said, "Give Mercer credit. I thought they out-played us in the second half. It's frustrating for me to watch it and go through these experiences over and over again.
"All the things you want to see your team do, you saw them do it.
"Mercer understood it's a 40-minute game. They were tougher. They did the things it takes to win."
Mercer was outstanding on three-point shots down the stretch. After holding the Bears to only 2-9 on treys in the first half, Bama was victimized by 6-13 three-point shooting in the second half as Mercer finished 8-22 from behind the arc. Alabama, meanwhile, made 4-14 treys.
Alabama also had a bad game at the free throw line, making only 65 per cent (13-20). From the field, the Tide was 21-53 for 39.6 per cent. Mercer made 22-54 from the field (40.7 per cent) and 14-18 free throws.
Mercer had a 35-33 rebounding advantage and a 16-6 margin in second half points.
The game was tied five times and the lead changed hands eight times. Bama's largest lead was 12 points, while Mercer's biggest advantage was the seven-point final margin.
Trevor Releford led the Tide with 19 points, while Rodney Cooper had 17 points and a game-high seven rebounds. Daniel Coursey led Mercer with 20 points and Travis Smith had 17, including 5-7 on three-point shots.
Mercer Coach Bob Hoffman has now had five wins against BCS level teams, and two of those wins are over Alabama. Hoffman said, "We finally were able to make some threes and it was fun to watch them go down. This was a fantastic win for our program."
Alabama is now off until Sunday, Dec. 30, when the Crimson Tide hosts Tulane in a 5 p.m. CST game.
It looked as though Bama was on its way to a comfortable win when Releford had nice back-to-back shots, one of them a three-pointer. The Tide built a nine-point lead midway through the second half. Moments later, though, Mercer had a three-point lead at 52-49 as Travis Smith hit a pair of three-pointers in a 13-1 run by the Bears.
The game rocked back and forth, but momentum was clearly with Mercer. Levin Randolph had a nice driving shot that gave the Tide a 59-58 lead with 1:33 to play, but the only team scoring points after that was Mercer.
Jakob Gollon put the Bears back up with a pair of free throws at 1:17. After an Alabama turnover, Gollon nailed a three-pointer and Mercer led 63-59 with 36.8 seconds to go.
Alabama was unable to do anything (unless one includes foul) and free throws wrapped it up for the visitors.
Alabama had some back door issues to open the game with Mercer getting a handful of easy baskets by 6-10 Daniel Coursey, but otherwise Bama's defense kept the Bears off rhythm as the Tide built a double digit lead with over six minutes to play in the first half.
A 14-2 run gave the Tide a 22-11 lead and Bama built it up to as much as a dozen, but the Bears took advantage of poor Alabama shooting to close to within five points at halftime at 27-22 on a 7-0 run. The final Mercer points of the first half came on a familiar back door play to Coursey, who slammed it home at the buzzer.
TIDE NOTES: Trevor Lacey came into the game having made 23-47 three-point shots and his 48.9 per cent mark was best in the Southeastern Conference. Against Mercer, Lacey was 0-3 on three-point shots and only 1-6 from the field, finishing with five points.
For the second consecutive game, Alabama started four guards – Trevor Releford, Trevor Lacey, Levi Randolph, and Rodney Cooper – and a forward, freshman Devonta Pollard.
For the year, in part because of injuries, the Tide has used six different starting lineups this year. Lacey and Randolph are the only players to have started all 11 games.
Alabama is now 6-3 all-time against Mercer.

Description: LARGE PRINT EDITION More at LargePrintLiberty.comProfessor Block's book is in a new edition from the Mises Institute, completely reset and beautifully laid out in an edition worthy of its contents. It is among the most famous of the great defenses of victimless crimes and controversial economic practices, from profiteering and gouging to bribery and blackmail. However, beneath the surface, this book is also an outstanding work of microeconomic theory that explains the workings of economic forces in everyday events and affairs. Murray Rothbard explains why: "Defending the Undefendable performs the service of highlighting, the fullest and starkest terms, the essential nature of the productive services performed by all people in the free market. By taking the most extreme examples and showing how the Smithian principles work even in these cases, the book does far more to demonstrate the workability and morality of the free market than a dozen sober tomes on more respectable industries and activities. By testing and proving the extreme cases, he all the more illustrates and vindicates the theory." F.A. Hayek agreed, writing the author as follows: "Looking through Defending the Undefendable made me feel that I was once more exposed to the shock therapy by which, more than fifty years ago, the late Ludwig von Mises converted me to a consistent free market position. ... Some may find it too strong a medicine, but it will still do them good even if they hate it. A real understanding of economics demands that one disabuses oneself of many dear prejudices and illusions. Popular fallacies in economics frequently express themselves in unfounded prejudices against other occupations, and showing the falsity of these stereotypes you are doing a real services, although you will not make yourself more popular with the majority."
