This direct drive motor coupling, also known as a coupling kit, is a newer version of the part and is used in your washer. The piece includes new metal sleeves that have been added in order to strengthen the part. This part works between the transmission and the motor; it is only used on direct drive washers with no belt. In order to replace this part, you will need a flat blade screw driver, a quarter inch nut driver, and a Phillips screw driver. Before making this repair remember to disconnect the power supply, and both fill hoses.
The suspension spring supports the outer tub and keeps the tub steady during loads that could cause an unbalance. If this part breaks, is worn down, or has stretched out and lost i...
This direct drive water pump, also known as washing machine drain pump or washer drain pump, is manufactured for washing machines that do not have belts. This is a genuine Whirlpool part with two ports for water to pass through, a large one and a smaller one. The tools needed for this repair are slip joint pliers, a flat blade screw driver, and a putty knife. Sandpaper might also be needed to remove rust from internal parts to install the new pump. The washer will have to be disconnected from the power source and tilted on its back to access this part.

The water inlet valve on your washing machine is used to fill the tub with cold, warm, or hot water for the wash and rinse cycles. This part could have either a blue or green-colored valve body. There are two ports for water to enter and this valve is compatible with a half-inch ID hose. It has two 3/4-11x1/2 NHT hose threads. You may have a faulty valve if your washer is leaking, has no hot or cold water, will not stop filling with water, will not fill with water, fills and drains at the same time, or is noisy. To confirm that the valve is faulty, unplug the washer when the symptom occurs. If the washer continues to fill, then the inlet valve is defective.
This part comes with a three-wire lead. The pin on the lid pushes on the lever of the lid switch to tell the machine that the lid is closed.
This tub spring is also known as suspension spring, balance spring, or counterweight spring. It is sold individually. The function of the part is to counterbalance the weight of the motor on the front of the front-load washer so the washer tub sits straight and even during the spin cycle. You may need to replace the spring if tub is sitting tilted forward. A broken spring will result in the tub being off-balance during the spin cycle which can cause further damage to washer parts. It is recommended to check all suspension springs as they often wear at the same rate. Tools needed for repair are a Phillips screw driver, flat blade screw driver, and a pair of pliers.

The barrage of rockets, mortars and missiles from Gaza to Israel has escalated recently. Southern Israelis are feeling abandoned and increasingly getting traumatized, living in fear all the time. Children cannot sleep and need counselling. My old mother living in Ashdod is scared as never before.
Striking terror targets after the event has occurred is not helping. Nor are the verbal threats of Israeli politicians. It's time to act differently. The Israeli government should try non-military measures to bring the Hamas government to its knees. Cut off the supply of electricity, water and daily supplies flowing into Gaza. Don't let Gazans into Israel for medical treatment. Don't let them bite the hand that feeds them. The Israeli government should try it for a week and stop being afraid of the world and the United Nations' reaction. In any case, they don't care about Israel (my government of Canada will always support you, please remember). People of Gaza will revolt against their rulers, and there should be peace.

Interfaith dialogue
At a recent panel discussion, the August resolution by the United Church of Canada calling for a boycott of West Bank Israeli goods was discussed and the utility of interfaith dialogue was questioned ("Panellist take aim at United Church," Oct. 25). Dialogue is not a guarantee that different faiths will always act in concert or even in a manner to which representative faiths can always ascribe. There will be and perhaps should be bumps on the road. After all, why would we ever need to talk if different faiths that have different fundamental beliefs saw the world identically? But to question the road itself, and therefore its raison d'etre, is surely a troubling development. Rather one might question not the road of dia-logue, but the radical voices that today appear ascendant along the way. Where are the voices of quiet discussion and compromise? Where are the voices of reason and respect? Cardinal Tom Collins, the keynote speaker at an event spon-sored and organized by the Christian Jewish Dialogue of Toronto on Nov. 26 at the Adath Israel Congregation, is such a voice. Would that there were more.

Women at the Wall (1)
The scandalous arrest and humiliation of Anat Hoffman – an extraordinarily courageous and talented Jewish leader who has committed her professional life to improving human rights and civil liberties in Israel – is a sad commentary on the lack of religious freedom at Jerusalem's Western Wall ("Reform leaders seek probe of Israeli colleague's arrest, Oct. 25).
At the root of the problem lies the willingness of successive Israeli governments to allow ultra-Orthodox rabbis to dictate who may worship at the Wall, and how, and to hound those groups who have the temerity to insist on their right to assemble and pray in the fashion dictated by their convictions and beliefs. Though they may not realize it, the repressive conduct of the ultra-Orthodox leaders is not essentially different from the ruthless persecution of Marrano Jews by the Catholic Church in 15th-century Spain: both believe, or believed, that only they knew the true faith and had a divine mission to enforce it against those who dared to defy it.
So far as the juggernaut at the Western Wall is concerned, there are two imme-diate solutions that commend themselves. First, administration of the area should be taken out of the hands of the ultra-Orthodox and transferred to an in-dependent board with a clear remit to respect and advance free worship at the Wall by all bona fide groups. The second solution – actually a word of advice to the ultra-Orthodox – is this: if you can't bear the sight of liberated Jewish women praying with the benefit of tallitot, avert your eyes or, if you deem this insufficient, put up a partition in your corner of the Wall so that, physically as well as figura-tively, you'll be spared the indignity of recognizing and accepting the diversity of religious Jewish cultures in Israel.

Women at the Wall (2)
In the Oct. 25 front-page story, "Kotel rabbi offers blessings to Canada," it states that Rabbi Shmuel Rabinowitz came "to Canada to meet with the Jewish community and encourage everyone to visit the Kotel to strengthen their Jewish identity." A story in the international section, "Reform leaders seek probe of Israeli colleagues arrest," states that Anat Hoffman, executive director of the Reform movement's Israel Religious Action Center and chair of Women of the Wall, was arrested, reportedly roughed up by police and detained overnight, after leading a women's prayer group at the Western Wall. Hmm, I wonder if there is any connection between attendance at the Kotel and its consequences for more than half the Jewish population.

Women at the Wall (3)
While Rabbi Jennifer Gorman recalls and laments that she could not put on tal-lit and tfillin at the Kotel, she recognizes at the end of her letter that there is now a part of the Kotel called Robinson's Arch reserved for those women who wish to do so ("Girls, women alienated at Kotel, letters," Nov. 8).
Jeff Denaberg complains that Anat Hoffman of Women Of the Wall was arrest-ed for reciting Shema, when she was in fact arrested for wearing a tallit at the Kotel's main plaza – something she knew would upset most worshippers and some-thing Israeli courts have ruled is contrary to the Robinson's Arch compromise ("Minority monopolizes holy site," letters, Nov 8). As for his statement that our "holiest site is unwelcoming to most Jews," Jews of all denominations or level of observance, and indeed people of all faiths, are always welcome at the Kotel – 24 hours a day, all year round.

Dalton McGuinty's resignation
I was very disappointed to see our community leaders warmly praising Ontario Premier Dalton McGuinty, the man who did more to undermine our families' prosperity and our Jewish community's collective well-being than any other Canadian leader in recent history ("Community bids farewell to McGuinty," Oct. 25). Those who genuinely care about the continuity and sustainability of the Jewish community should be bidding the man good riddance.
UJA Federation of Greater Toronto chair Elizabeth Wolfe's commendation of McGuinty's "unwavering respect for human rights" is particularly bewildering, if such basic rights include equal treatment by one's government, regardless of religion or ethnic background. Of course, McGuinty's Ontario is the only place in the free world with state-funded religious education – for Catholic children only.
The premier's commitment to our children's equality ended upon his first election win in 2003. In a cynical and opportunistic political move, McGuinty turned his back on prior commitments to our community and retroactively oblit-erated a tax credit that was specifically implemented by the previous government to address this long-standing discrimination, and which had put Ontario on a similar footing with other provinces, including Quebec, Alberta and British Co-lumbia. This credit, when fully implemented, would have constituted indirect funding to our schools of about $40 million a year.
Our community leaders have forgotten that in 2007, McGuinty won an election, specifically by pledging to perpetuate this discrimination against our children. Not because it was right or just or equitable, but because extending fair education funding was the official policy of the leading opposition party.
Parents of day-school children, bearing the lion's share of an annual $150-million drain on our community, are not as willing or able as our community leaders to ignore the hardship imposed by McGuinty's legacy of discriminatory policies.

Dr. Joe, 'the people's doctor'
Your story about the retirement of Dr. Joseph Greenberg brought back some great memories, not the least how I met him ("Dr. Joe retires after 60-year career," Sept. 6). It was 1968. I had just returned from 18 years of living overseas and had decided to try my luck in Toronto. As things transpired, my luck held, I obtained a job in advertising and managed to find a place to live, but what I lacked was a doctor. A friend suggested hers, but for whatever reason I declined.
Not long after, it happened that I was in a taxi. I started a conversation with the driver and blurted out that I needed a doctor. Why I asked a cab driver and this particular one I will never know. Likely as his name on the driver's identification sounded Jewish.
Sure he said, "Dr. Joe."
"Dr. Joe?"
"Yeah, Joe Greenberg, everyone one knows Joe Greenberg."
"I don't."
"Well, his office is on Bathurst."
Next day, I went to see Dr. Joe in what was his office-cum-home. Dr. Joe's of-fice was a large ancient desk covered with piles of paper and notes. It was, by any definition, organized chaos. Patients' information seemed to be on a mass of small file cards, and there was no secretary. It was Joe's mantra that if someone wants to speak to a doctor, then they should be able to speak to the doctor, not a secretary.
Well, Dr. Joe was soon to be the doctor not only to me but to my wife, and he was our primary source of medical wisdom when my wife became pregnant with twins. It was only when we moved out of Toronto that we had to leave Dr. Joe's care. But he remained part of our family's history, and my wife or myself often recounted some incident of our time under the compassionate care of "the peo-ple's doctor." Thank you, Dr. Joe, for those years you took care of our family.

Three boys stand on a log. An adult couple walks by 20 feet down the beach. That scene is not recorded, but presumably it's what was happening just before video began to capture a moment of fright on Oct. 24, 2010, at Rockaway Beach, Ore.
The video shows three boys sent tumbling off their log as every visible part of the beach is rapidly inundated by a surging wave that seems like it will never relent.
Two of the boys struggle to gain their footing in the surge, and just as soon as they do a much longer log hits them in the legs, cartwheeling them face-first into the water. The third boy, up to his neck in water, can't even get to his feet before he is swept about 15 feet down the beach by the second log and nearly pinned between third and fourth logs, one of them just missing his head as it rushes by.
By the time the recording begins, the couple who had been walking by have already been knocked down. One of them floats uncontrollably for about 20 feet, and only regains footing when the surge begins to recede. The other floats away, belly-down, for 30 feet, struggling to keep head above water, and has to be helped up after a sixth person runs out to assist. The person who is helped up staggers back to high ground, leaning on the rescuer for support.
As with giant squid or Siberian meteor blasts, the ubiquity of the video camera has revealed the secrets of another of nature's elusive elements: the sneaker wave.
Sneaker waves are broadly defined as any wave that sneaks up on people, but the most alarming and all-too-
real among them are those that rise far higher on the beach than waves before or after, and they can be killers.
"In Humboldt and Del Norte counties, in the last 10 years, we've lost about three to five people per year, so it's a pretty major killer," says Troy Nicolini, warning coordination meteorologist at the National Weather Service's Eureka office.
Perhaps the most startling illustration of sneaker waves caught on camera - and there are many videos of this particular day online - comes from the Mavericks Surf Contest of 2010 near Half Moon Bay. Boasting big and even deadly waves known to surfers worldwide, the contest is held when conditions are prime (after a winter storm) and when waves off the coast can top out at 80 feet.
Attracting big sponsors and held in a surfing-popular region, the contest draws thousands of spectators, and so it was on Feb. 13 of that year that there were hundreds of people, several large scaffoldings and multiple canopies on the beach when a massive wave - far larger than preceding waves - crashed over a breakwall and flooded the whole area, washing people across the area in a seething blanket of whitewater that was as much as 3 feet deep when it first struck spectators.
Scaffolding and canopies collapsed. People who were dragged around the beach uncontrollably suffered injuries including broken bones.
The crowd had been warned that the beach in high surf conditions was unsafe, but many did not listen. Incredibly, people kept returning to the beach, and there were two more sneaker waves that crashed over the breakwall and inflicted more injuries on the foolish.
The Mavericks 2010 waves illustrate most of all the recklessness and stubbornness with which people can dismiss the danger of waves - repeatedly. But they are not the best example of the sneakiest sneakers.
High surf days like the one at Mavericks are less likely to claim lives from sneaker waves than days when the waves generally appear to be calm and steady, Nicolini says, in part because the high surf warns people to stay away (at least those who aren't dying to see a surf competition).
"If there are days when the ocean looks flat, that's the scenario that often gets people in trouble," Nicolini says.
But don't let any of this scare you away from the beach. Scientists, including Nicolini, are making progress in understanding the dynamics of sneaker waves and are thus able to offer new insight into how one can distinguish seas that only appear harmless from those that truly are.
Upcoming editions of Vista Point will discuss how you can tell the difference between truly safe waters and those that present only the illusion of safety, how sneaker waves occur, and the implications all of this has for the safety of beach and jetty access.

REPORT: Wessels sails the ship as Sussex tied up in Notts on Day Two26-May-2012
A century from Riki Wessels ensured that visitors Nottinghamshire passed Sussex's first-innings score on Day Two of the LV=County Championship Division One clash at The PROBIZ County Ground, Hove.
Wessels finished the day unbeaten on 184 as Nottinghamshire edged ahead of Sussex's first innings score, amassing 320 for 4 by the close, a lead of 11 runs.
Sussex could only add four runs to their overnight score this morning before Naveed Arif Gondal scooped Samit Patel to a grateful Ben Phillips at mid-off to dismiss the hosts for 309. On another glorious day and with the track playing well, it seemed a good day for batting and Nottinghamshire made the most of it.
Wessels and Alex Hales put on a huge 171 for the first wicket before Monty Panesar finally got the breakthrough, sneaking one through to bowl Hales. It had taken nearly 50 overs but finally Sussex had something to show for their already long toil in the field, particularly as Hales on 80 had looked well set for three figures himself.
The opener ploughed on, punishing anything loose from the bowlers and the son of the former Sussex man Kepler Wessels was ably assisted by Michael Lumb until the latter squirted one loosely to Joe Gatting at backward point off the bowling of Naveed Arif Gondal.
Samit Patel showed intent at the crease but it was an inspired bowling change which accounted for both him and the exciting England prospect James Taylor. Chris Nash ensured Patel was cramped for room when looking to cut as he edged one behind to Ben Brown for 11, before Taylor could make only 5 when he pushed forward only to be caught at short leg by Gatting.
Despite Nash's figures of 2 for 13 to go with his impressive century yesterday, the day belonged to Wessels who walked off to generous applause from the Hove faithful as he pushed towards his highest first-class score.
Day Three at The PROBIZ begins tomorrow morning at 11.00am.

DreamLine Vanity Bowls
How to Select
How to Shop Vanity Bowls
A vanity bowl is a very important part of a vanity set. It provides a great deal of personality to your bathroom and should contribute to more than just functionality—it should contribute to fashion as well. That is why, before selecting the perfect bowl, it is necessary to consider the frequency it will be used and how it will be used. For example, if you are looking for a bowl that will be used in a guest bathroom or a powder room, then a small stylish vessel bowl will be a great choice, even if it is not as durable as other types of vanity sinks. On the contrary, if the future bowl will be used in a family bathroom, which is usually characterized by a high frequency of usage, the best purchase will appear to be a deep and large porcelain or cast-iron enameled vanity bowl.
There are a lot of different types of vanity sinks. Each of them is unique and possesses a wide range of advantages.
The most commonly used are the following:
- Self-Rimming Vanity Bowls. These sinks are also known as surface-mounted ones. They are typically inserted inside the hole made in a counter and rest above the countertop. This type of vanity bowls is the easiest for installation because there is no need to match the counter hole and sink bottom precisely, as the hole will be totally covered by the bowl after its installation.
- Under Mount Vanity Bowls. This type of bowls is installed from below of the counter. Such way of installation provides a customized and clean look. Here it is more important to have a precisely cut hole, while it will stay exposed at the top of the counter. The material used for the counters with an under mount bowl are usually solid surface types or natural stones. They provide a more fashionable and luxurious look.
- Integral Vanity Bowls. These bowls are the best to provide a clean custom appearance. Due to the solid integral construction of the countertop and bowl within one unit, there are no visible joints that may unpleasantly influence the overall design. The process of installation and cleaning up is quite easy.
- Vessel Vanity Bowls. They are also known as deck-mounted sinks. This type of bowls is more suitable for guest rooms or powder rooms. Vessel bowls can be performed in various shapes and styles, with multiple choices of colors and patterns, though they are not as durable as other vanity bowl constructions.
- Console Vanity Bowls. Console bowls are able to provide the bathroom with a spacious and open feel. They are performed in a table-like style and supported by ornamental brackets or legs. Actually, this is a kind of separate tiny vanity fixture, as it can be accompanied by drawers for additional storage. In addition, it should be mentioned that any vanity bowl style provides a unique oomph to any bathroom, even the most economical one. These special bathroom fixtures can be perfectly matched with contemporary faucets and convenient pop ups which allows every customer to use their own creativity, implementing design ideas that suits their own unique personality.

NASCAR driver Jason Leffler died Wednesday after he crashed his car at the Bridgeport Speedway in New Jersey, NASCAR said.
He was 37.
Leffler was taking part in "Night of Wings," a 25-lap event for sprint cars with a $7,000 prize. The race was not a NASCAR-sponsored event.
Sprint cars are high-powered cars that usually run on dirt or paved oval tracks.
"NASCAR extends its thoughts, prayers and deepest sympathies to the family of Jason Leffler who passed away earlier this evening," NASCAR said in a statement. "For more than a decade, Jason was a fierce competitor in our sport and he will be missed."
In March, another crash involving a sprint car killed two people at Marysville Raceway Park, outside Sacramento, California.
Soon after Leffler's death was announced, condolences poured in from fellow drivers.
"Deeply saddened by the passing of @JasonLeffler tonight. Please keep his family in your thoughts and prayers," tweeted Kyle Bush.
Another driver, Bobby Labonte, said in a Twitter post, "Lost a good guy tonight in Jason Leffler. Prayers with your family!"
"My thoughts and prayers are with Jason's family and friends," Jeff Burton posted. "Breaks my heart thinking of his little boy."

Hornet Heritage family makes "Prophet-able" connection with ESUSeptember 13, 2011
The Hornet Heritage award, sponsored by the ESU Alumni Association, annually recognizes a multigenerational family of Hornet alumni and former students.
The family of Carl (BSE 1955, MS 1957) and Kay Prophet, Emporia, will be honored during Family Day festivities Saturday, Sept. 17.
"It's certainly a surprise and an honor to be selected and to recognize all my relatives who've been students here at ESU," said Dr. Prophet, professor emeritus of biology.
"We moved here [to Emporia] in the fall of 1953 after I got out of the Army," Prophet explained. After finishing his master's degree in 1957, Prophet taught in KSTC's biology department for three years. He rejoined the KSTC faculty in 1962 after earning his doctorate, rising to become chair of the Division of Biological Sciences at ESU before retiring in 1996.
The Prophet-Brady family tree's branches stretch to include 14 family members — including children, grandchildren, nieces and nephews — who have received degrees from ESU and 22 who've attended the university.
Two of Carl and Kay's three children — Stuart (BSB 1978), Topeka, and Kevin (BSB 1980, MBA 1982), Olathe — earned ESU degrees. The couple's daughter, Peggy, took classes from ESU on her way to earning a degree at another institution. Stuart's wife, Jan (Latta) Prophet (BSE 1978, MS 1993), earned ESU degrees, as did the couple's two children, Haley (Prophet) Akin (BS 2005) and Hanna Prophet (BSE 2010).
A nephew, Dr. Mark Brady (BS 1985), Overland Park, is currently serving as a member of the ESU Foundation board of trustees.
The family will be recognized at halftime of the ESU-Central Missouri football game at ESU's Welch Stadium. Kick-off is at 1 p.m. Tickets are available by calling ESU Athletic Ticketing at (620) 341-6378 or (877) 341-6378.
Tickets cost $12 for reserved seats, $8 for general admission adults and $6 for junior-senior general admission. Family packs, which contain two adult and two junior-senior general admission tickets cost $22. Juniors are age 4 through high school; seniors are 65 and older. Children under 4 are free.

Hello I Must Be Going should strike a disheartening chord of recognition among some viewers.
What if your beloved daughter goes through a painful divorce and lands on your doorstep?
That's the theme of Todd Louiso's feature film, scheduled to be screened by Chai Tea & A Movie on Sunday, Jan. 27, at 5 p.m. at the Cineplex Odeon Sheppard Cinemas. Ostensibly a romantic comedy, it unfolds at times like a tragedy.
Amy (Melanie Lynskey) has been dumped by her philandering husband and returns to the suburban home of her upper middle-class Jewish parents, Stan and Ruth Minsky (John Rubinstein and Blythe Danner). She arrives in an aimless frame of mind as they continue to remodel their ranch-style house.
Given to fainting spells and crying fits, Amy has become a recluse, not having left their house in three months. "You just had some bad luck," says her father, trying to calm her frayed nerves.
Amy's fortunes seem to take a turn for the better after she meets Jeremy (Christopher Abbott) at a dinner party hosted by her parents. Jeremy, 19 and about a decade younger than Amy, is an aspiring actor who has serious doubts about acting.
He's also the son of an entrepreneur who's thinking of forming a partnership with Amy's father, a lawyer who badly needs the business so he can settle into retirement comfortably.
As the film gains traction, Jeremy seduces Amy, who seems to have nothing better to do than to roll in the hay with him. Louiso handles these scenes competently enough, creating a dual world of lustful encounters and budding business deals.
He is also adept at drawing a portrait of a young divorcee struggling to get back on her feet and deciding whether her romantic fling with Jeremy is worth the trouble.
Lynskey is convincing as Amy, while Abbott delivers a fairly credible performance as a young man who falls hard for an older women.
Danner, looking alternately haggard and glamorous in a supporting role, is the personification of a bored and frustrated housewife whose destiny lies entirely in her husband's hands. Rubinstein, cast as a minor player, has little to do and is eminently forgettable.
Hello I Must Be Going has something to say about failed relationships and new beginnings, but it feels like yesterday's loaf of bread and is thus somewhat stale.

SCB: Sports Personality of the Year15-Feb-2012
Alan Wildig, the Colts Manager of St Matthias CC, is the BBC Sports Personality of the Year - South East England Unsung Hero winner for 2011.
15th February 2012
The image shows him receiving his award from Chairman of the SCCT and Chairman of the Brighton & Hove City Cricket Development Group David Bowden at the Sussex University Sports Hall recently. The youngsters in the photos are from the club's Under 12s and 14s, who were receiving their regular coaching from Alan.
David Bowden said of Alan, "He has taken responsibility for helping to develop hundreds of youngsters with their cricketing skills many of who have progressed to County level. At the same time he has held a number of leading posts within the Club and it is appropriate to state that, but for Alan's involvement the Club may not now exist.
"He is respected hugely by the children he coaches, by his Club colleagues and, even more impressively, by his peers in other clubs.
"He has always kept up-to-date with changing coaching methods and is very innovative in his attitude and approach to such matters.
At all times, Alan has remained incredibly modest about his many achievements and is most unassuming in his demeanor. He does not seek recognition or reward and, therefore, fits superbly well into the category of "Unsung Hero".
One of the youngsters who received coaching from Alan whilst at St Matthias CC was none other than Matt Prior!

2ND XI: Matt finish as Machan stars at Horsham14-Aug-2012
Sussex's Second Eleven stormed to a six-wicket victory over Hampshire yesterday at Horsham in the Second Eleven Trophy competition, with Matt Machan playing a starring role.
After the visitors had won the toss they were restricted to 188 all out as they were dismissed two balls shy of their 40 overs. Will Adkin did the main damage with the ball, taking 4 for 21 from his 8 overs whilst Will Beer claimed 3 for 34 with his leg-spin.
In reply, Sussex timed their chase perfectly as they reached their target with two overs to go. Machan (pictured) led the innings with his knock of 95, which took 116 balls and included 10 fours. Joe Gatting (22) and skipper Kirk Wernars (27) also chipped in as the hosts won by six wickets.
The Seconds are back in action at Horsham again today when they entertain the same opponents in the Second Eleven Championship (a three-day match). Play begins at 11.00am this morning and entrance is of course FREE

By Ray Powell
A resident new to Santa Fe recently asked me what is special about the place called White Peak in northern New Mexico.
White Peak represents a unique and special area of state trust land that is rich in wildlife and natural beauty. It is unmatched in terms of hunting. It's accessible to all and has been used for generations by traditional communities in the north.
White Peak has also played an important role generating revenues for our public schools, universities and hospitals. And yet now, our current land commissioner would prefer to see these public lands traded to private interests.
Unfortunately, the State Land Office's proposed land exchange around White Peak represents a case study of what not to do when one is responsible for our public lands.
This trade completely excluded public participation and was done during the holiday season when most people were spending time with loved ones. Stakeholders like hunters and local communities were never consulted, and elected officials were briefed the day the bid closed. The appraisals seem dubious at best and have been severely criticized by the Attorney General's Office and others.
This exchange, as currently designed, would put a "No Trespass" sign on some of the most beautiful, productive and culturally important land in our state.
Local families and others statewide know the attraction of White Peak and have made regular pilgrimages there for generations. I have had the privilege to talk with community elders who have visited and hunted at White Peak their entire lives, but now worry that their grandchildren won't experience and know the area. These elders have reinforced my understanding of the importance of communal lands in the northern New Mexico Hispanic and Native American traditions, and of the rich history of the area that includes the Camino Real and the Santa Fe Trail.
While hard to imagine, states such as Texas do not have public lands. Only the very wealthy in Texas can afford the luxury of paying private land owners to access their land. The last thing New Mexico should do is close the door to our public lands. We don't want to become a state in which only the rich can access and enjoy special places like White Peak.
This land exchange not only limits public access to these culturally rich areas and to some of the most beautiful and productive wildlife habitat in the state, but also is of very questionable value to the beneficiaries of the trust: New Mexico's public schools, universities and hospitals. Trading away this important land, along with high-value commercial properties in Albuquerque and near Santa Fe—for grazing land—makes little sense, particularly during a serious economic downturn when land values are depressed.
White Peak represents an important economic resource for the entire northern New Mexico region. Visiting sportsmen spend their dollars on food, fuel and lodging—benefiting the local economies.
During my 1993-2002 tenure as land commissioner, I was repeatedly asked to sell or trade this land. I knew it was important to take the time to visit with all of the parties involved. I worked hard to develop collaborative relationships between the ranchers who leased trust land, the adjoining land owners and communities, and licensed sportsmen.
In most cases, we were able to develop strong and positive cooperation between the various parties. This is an ongoing process that only works when the Land Office takes the lead and steps in when there are difficulties. If this leadership is lacking, then there is little chance of an equitable and fair outcome.
The land exchange should be reversed before it does irreparable damage to the reputation and underlying mission of the New Mexico State Land Office, the health of local adjoining communities, and to those private citizens who celebrate the opportunity to use this special land to recreate, hunt, fish, bird watch and spend valuable time with their families.
For those citizens who are angry and frustrated with the lack of transparency and public input, I strongly suggest they call Commissioner of Public Lands Patrick Lyons.
We must make sure that this important land remains public land and accessible to all of our New Mexico families.
Veterinarian Ray Powell is a Democratic candidate for the position of state land commissioner.

Investing well in today's consistently volatile economic market means learning how to manage risk. Historically, one of the best ways for the average investor to manage risk easily is to invest in mutual funds.
Mutual funds provide instant diversification for those investors looking for a long-term strategy. They provide a higher rate of return, historically, than fixed investments such as money market funds. They also provide a lower exposure to the whims of the market than similarly invested individual stock funds. All in all, many financial planners and experts recommend having some top mutual funds as a substantial portion of your investment funds, increasing the overall balance of mutual funds as you get closer and closer to retirement.
The best mutual funds are the mutual funds that can withstand a great deal of scrutiny. This is essential because much information about investments is available to the general public that was not available before the rise of the Internet. In the modern era of investing, any investor that goes into a mutual fund without researching the top investments and the management involved is doing themselves a great disservice.
However, this increase in information is contributing to the increased rate of mutual fund returns. Managers know that they have to be on their best behavior and maintain the validity of their funds no matter what. Contrary to popular belief, many of the mutual fund managers were not the ones that perpetrated the unscrupulous actions that caused people to lose money during the Great Recession. Most mutual fund managers were actually quite conservative with the money in their funds, and many of them actually were able to help their clients weather the storm of the Great Recession.
For those investors who would ask the question, "What are mutual funds?" the easiest way to answer it would be to compare mutual funds to other types of investments. In reality, it does not matter that a mutual fund is denotated as a basket of similarly themed investments that is overseen by a management team. The only thing that matters is the return that an investment gets for a client over the term of that investment.
Mutual funds have consistently provided the savvy investor with a consistent rate of return over the past 50 years, even taking recessions into account. These returns have consistently outpaced inflation and are seen as being quite good investments for those looking for long-term retirement packages.

ln September 2003, wide-eyed and fresh out of college, I landed on a simmering tarmac in El Salvador, the small, crowded country where I would spend the next two years as a Peace Corps volunteer. The program directors trained us in soil conservation and organic farming and, just before sending us off to our villages, urged us not to be disappointed when—not if—we failed.
Felipe Mancía was the reason I didn't fail. When I arrived, he walked me through his makeshift greenhouse (bamboo poles, plastic sheeting) and told me he'd been growing organic green beans but wanted to try tomatoes. He smiled, and I saw he was missing teeth.
Together, Felipe and I grew everything from asparagus to starfruit. We put fish in the water tank to kill the mosquitoes and covered the ground with legumes in the off-season. He showed me how to sing to the oxen so they'd walk in circles for hours, grinding raw sugarcane into hot, foamy heaven and, when I grew tomatoes, his wife shooed me off to the market with an enormous basket of them on my head and my promise not to accept less than $12.
Felipe did everything right. He knew more about organic farming than anyone I'd ever met—out of necessity, before Monsanto started bringing the genetically modified seeds that died after one season and before Bayer gave out samples of toxic pesticides in bottles children used to carry water.
Felipe's sons knew the earth, too. For hours each day, they helped their father, then clustered around one bare lightbulb to study. It was the only way out, Felipe Jr. told me once. Studying was the only way not to become a farmer.
Arty Mangan, the Food & Farming Director for Bioneers, says he doesn't blame kids for wanting to avoid a future that involves a lot of hard work and little pay.
But Mangan is a lead researcher for Dreaming New Mexico, a Bioneers collaborative project with the purpose of changing the game.
"Farming should be an occupation, a career choice that people can make a really good living at," Mangan says. "Why shouldn't it be? And the people who [farm] should have rights and benefits and living wages. Will everybody want to become a farmer? No. But at least those who do have sort of an inherent passion can make that choice and do it."
To that end, Mangan is working with acclaimed ecologist Peter Warshall to develop a map and pamphlet that plot New Mexico's way forward into a more sustainable, localized, fair trade culinary future.
Though the pamphlet, which is scheduled for release this month, will offer some concrete research and initiatives, the map is just colorful and artistic enough to evoke its namesake—a dream. And though dreams carry the connotation of unattainability, both Mangan and Nikki Spangenburg, the project coordinator, seem unconcerned.
"The idea of the project is to imagine the preferred state," Spangenburg says. "Dreaming the future can create the future. If you imagine the place you want to be, then the steps to getting there become much clearer."
Or as Mangan puts it, "you have to start someplace."
Not that the dream is simple. Perhaps the project's greatest merit—and challenge—is that it attempts to look at everything at once, from preserving local farms to reforming agribusiness to educating children to conserving water—all against the backdrop of climate change.
But to Miguel Santistevan—farmer, activist, PhD student and Taos mayordomo—looking at everything at once is absolutely essential.
"Too many times I've been involved in the food movement, and people don't get involved politically [or] realize the importance of protecting the farmers or preventing GMOs," Santistevan says.
Though the Dreaming New Mexico map doesn't call for legislative action just yet, Mangan acknowledges that some initiatives will need it. And though Santistevan spent the session lobbying unsuccessfully for a Senate bill designed to keep big agribusinesses like Monsanto from suing New Mexico's farmers, he's far from giving up.
In fact, Santistevan sees the legumes that native New Mexicans have been growing for centuries—garbanzos, fava beans, lentils and peas—as the answer to locavorism and climate change, all at once.
"If anywhere is going to teach the rest of the world how to survive climate change, it's this upper Rio Grande area," Santistevan says. "And so this needs to be honored as that guiding light to a resilient agricultural system."
Hence the Farmer Protection Act, which would shield small farmers from legal action if their fields were to be contaminated with genetically engineered, patented seed.
Without such protections, Mangan says, small, sustainable farms from El Salvador to New Mexico have to compete with "a rigged global system that exploits all farmers for the benefit of a few large corporations." Part of the Dreaming New Mexico plan is to reverse that trend—or as Mangan puts it, to level the playing field.
"The wild card, in food systems and just about everything, is climate change," Mangan says. But even without knowledge of exactly how New Mexico's climate will be affected, tailoring food systems to each microclimate, reducing greenhouse gas emissions by consuming locally grown food and even just raising awareness for small farmers' uphill battle could lessen the blow, Mangan says.
New Mexico currently consumes approximately 3 percent of all the food produced in-state, Mangan says. Getting that number back up to 25 percent by 2025 is one of Dreaming New Mexico's key goals—and one Mangan says isn't too far a stretch for a state that was completely localized just a few hundred years ago.
"Most people don't even know where their food comes from. Most people don't ask those questions," Spangenburg says. (Santa Fe, she notes, is uniquely progressive and already on its way to establishing a local-food infrastructure.)
But exactly what New Mexico needs to reach that goal—incentives, subsidies, education, good old-fashioned guilt—is anyone's guess. That's the value of forming a collective dream before diving in, Mangan says.
"What I hope will happen is that this becomes a rallying point for people to start to envision and implement their own sustainable futures in their own communities," he explains. "That's what this process is about, really. We're trying to give some raw material and some food for thought."
No pun intended, of course.

Moeen Ali will take the attack back to India as England try to ease the pressure on captain Alastair Cook by avoiding a Royal London Series whitewash at Headingley.
Three resounding defeats have galvanised Cook's critics, who have grown increasingly adamant he is not the right man to lead England to the World Cup early next year.
The captain himself remains defiant, however - and so too are his players, exemplified by Moeen's description of Cook as "mentally stronger" than anyone else he has ever met.
Moeen insists England's one-day international gameplan is not at fault, and have come up short against India so far only because of a collective loss of form and confidence.
That did not appear to be the case for him in England's latest trouncing at Edgbaston, where he alone countered the opposition with a 37-ball half-century.
On his return on Friday to the ground where - in very different circumstances and with contrasting methods - he came within one ball of saving a Test series against Sri Lanka with an unbeaten century three months ago, Moeen intends once again to try to put India on the back foot.
He is not above copying successful opposition tactics either, having seen Suresh Raina seize the initiative with a brutal hundred in Cardiff - since which India have not looked back.
"Watching someone like Suresh Raina in the first game, they were in trouble - and he came out ... took a few risks and they came off," said Moeen.
"He backed himself."
Moeen found himself in a similar situation in Birmingham, where just for a short time his fine footwork and carefree hitting raised English hopes.
"I tried to copy it a little a bit," he said.
"It's something I always go back to if things do a get a little bit (difficult).
"I just think 'go out and play, you know, who cares' - take the pressure off myself and enjoy playing international cricket for my country."
It is a state of mind which often works for him.
"It's something I go back to a lot and probably should do all the time.
"Take it to them - there is no point in being the same and getting out the same way all the time.
"I'd rather get caught on the boundary or stumped trying to do something than knock it around all the time."
The same tactics might not be advisable for Cook, whose methods are always likely to be more conservative.
The opener silenced his detractors by overcoming mid-summer adversity, and calls for him to give up the Test captaincy too, as he turned the Investec series round 3-1 in England's favour.
In the 50-over format, his sub-80 strike rate provides the most ammunition for those who want to see him replaced.
Moeen has no doubt, though, that Cook's determination will win the battle a second time.
"As a professional cricketer, we all know that form does have a dip," said Moeen.
"You have got to try and stay confident, even though it is hard and keep each other going.
"But he is determined to do well for the team and for himself, and we're hoping he will come off for the team tomorrow."
However tough the going gets, Moeen has learned, Cook simply will not give up.
"He has been the same since day one," said Moeen.
"I have never met a more mentally strong person than Alastair ... to go through what he is doing and still be the same day in day out.
"I can imagine that it is very tough, but I know he will come good.
"It's taking a bit of time. But I'm sure once we get one (win) it will all come, like the Test series did."
England, and perhaps Moeen in particular, can expect for the second match running to find themselves on the receiving end of jeers rather than cheers from the crowd as they try to dodge a 4-0 scoreline.
In his home town on Tuesday, the all-rounder was booed several times by a partisan majority, some of whom will have been supporting the country of their ancestors' birth rather than their own.
A near sell-out in Leeds may well also contain many rooting for the tourists rather than the hosts.
As a cricketer of Pakistani rather than Indian descent, Moeen knows he may bear the brunt - but it will not put him off.
"It doesn't really bother me one bit," he said.
"I think it's maybe because my background is from Pakistan.
"I just go out and block it out and try and play as best as I can.
"Obviously the noise for the India players was a lot more than ours ... but it just goes straight over my head."
He yearns for a time when English cricket crowds, irrespective of their parents' or grandparents' birthplace, support England.
"They've got a Brummy accent ... and some of the chants are English chants," he said.
"But it's just the way it is. I hope over time we can change.
"I spoke to a lot of people and there were a lot of Asians there who were supporting England as well.
"But obviously the majority were supporting India."

STYRIS: Winner of the Walter Lawrence Trophy18-Sep-2012
Scott Styris has rewritten the history books in sensational style in winning this year's Walter Lawrence Trophy, awarded for the fastest hundred of the season, with a 37-ball century for Sussex.
Styris smashed no fewer than 9 sixes and 5 fours in his unbeaten hundred against Gloucestershire Gladiators in the Friends Life t20 quarter-final at The PROBIZ.
The 37-year-old Australian-born Kiwi, who also wins £5,000, scored 38 in one 8-ball over (30 runs coming from the bat, and 8 from extras), and advanced from 50 to 100 in 13 deliveries. Joining the Sharks this year for FL t20 games following seasons with Middlesex, Durham and Essex, Styris also chipped in with a wicket and a run-out to propel his side into the FL t20 Finals Day with a 39-run victory. He is the first Sussex batsman to win the Trophy since Martin Speight in 1992.
On receiving the Trophy the veteran all-rounder, who has represented New Zealand in 29 Tests, 188 One-Day Internationals and 31 T20 Internationals, said: 'I am absolutely delighted to have won the Walter Lawrence Trophy this year. I was told by the Sussex boys that it is something that players cherish and everybody tries to win each season.
"I had no clue when I went out to bat against Gloucestershire at Hove that I was going to win the trophy but this is a nice little reward for getting a century and I was very pleased to be able to help to get the side through to Finals Day. A 37 ball century was far beyond anything I expected definitely."
"It was good fun and any time you get into that situation when you have a bit of a free licence in the last few overs its nice to get a few in the middle."
"I have had a look at some of the other guys who have won it, players like Ian Botham and Viv Richards and from a New Zealand perspective Chris Cairns and Ken Rutherford, who are all good strikers of the ball, so I am very pleased to have my name on the Walter Lawrence Trophy."

01/01/0001 - 09/21/2016
Location:Memphis Botanic Garden map
Common Name: Japanese False Cypress "Vintage Gold"
Botanical Name: Chamaecyparis pisifera
Attributes: Following our recent cold spell, many plants that had been blooming in our mild January weather have suffered a set back. One that caught my attention not with flowers, but with gold foliage, is chamaecyparis pisifera 'Vintage Gold;' it's gold foliage really stands out on a cold February morning. Several years back, we planted a fairly large selection of dwarf conifers here at MBG as a trial to see which ones would perform well in out hot, humid summers. As expected, some better suited for colder climates have succumbed to the weather. In addition to thriving in our heat and humidity, 'Vintage Gold' likes our slightly acidic clay soil and loves moisture, which makes it a good choice for a sunny Midsouth garden. The form of this evergreen shrub is conical, but mounding reaching a height of 8-10 inches in 10 to 15 years. The needles are feathery in character and are somewhat between those of juniper and arborvitae. Bark is smooth and reddish-brown, but hard to see since the branching habit of a good specimen really conceals the trunk.
Growing Tips: Since this plant is winter hardy in Zones 4-8 (Memphis is in Zone 7) there is no need to worry about protection from winter winds, on the other hand, lack of moisture in the heat of summer could be a concern, so be sure to locate it where it oculd be watered easily as needed. As with any highly-colored plant, full sun is necessary for maximum effect. While moisture is important, don't plant in a low spot where water stands after a rain. Spring and fall are the preferred planting times, however if care is exercised, container-grown plants could be installed during the growing season.
Landscape Tips: A glowing, golden conifer is certainly an accent plant. One choice specimen with a background of blue or green foliage can be dramatic. A row of gold foliage would be overwhelming and cheapen the effect. 'Vintage Gold' would also be an excellent plant in a rock garden planting with other conifers, sedums, grasses and similar companions.
Location in the Garden: The Japanese False Cypress 'Vintage Gold' is located in the Conifer Collection at MBG.

In the first half of this decade, Canadian mentalist and writer James Biss released his controversial first book, Messing With Minds. Now out of print, his work has become one of the most coveted books of magic and mentalism, commanding hundreds of dollars at auction. Around the world, James now performs, lectures and consults on his sometimes radical rethinking of the classic plots of mentalism, turning them into fresh effects with astonishing entertainment value for today's audiences.
Now as the decade draws to a close, James Biss has finally released his much anticipated sequel entitled Mind Blowing.
Mind Blowing contains numerous essays on new approaches to performing, including the provocative "Practicing Zentalism" and "The Seven Secrets of Mind Blowing". Each explores his on-stage alternatives to the bullying mentality so prevalent in our art. This exciting new work also includes the inside stories of his contentious creations including TeslaVision, White Tagger – and the world's number one mentalist design duplication tool, The Impressionable Mind Board. Incredibly, he has also included detailed instructions for assembling invaluable props for the professional arsenal, including his very magical magnetic markers, Mind Changer Bags, and the hottest mental assistant in a generation – the Remote Control Change Pack.
The main body of this impressive 380-page volume consists of the entertaining presentations and ingeniously simple methodology that James Biss has become associated with. These include:

Alumnus Gary Sherrer to present Hayes LectureOctober 8, 2013
Former Kansas Lt. Gov. Gary Sherrer returns to his alma mater to deliver the third annual
Sam E. and Jeannene Hayes Lecture on Thursday, Oct. 10, 2013.
Sherrer, an alumnus of Emporia State University, Blue Key Leadership Honor Society and Alpha Kappa Lambda fraternity, will present "Lessons Learned" at 7 p.m. Thursday in Webb Hall. The public is invited to attend the free lecture.
Emporia State students attending the lecture are eligible to apply for one of five $1,000 scholarships to be awarded next spring. The inaugural Hayes Lecture speaker, Doug Smith and his wife, Nan, of Leawood, Kan., provided funds to create the scholarships.
To be eligible for a scholarship, students must attend the lecture and complete a scholarship application, which includes a series of essay questions. The deadline for the submissions is midnight Friday and recipients will be selected by the Blue Key Leadership Honor Society.
Sherrer earned a bachelor of science in education degree in speech and social sciences in 1963. He served as Kansas lieutenant governor from 1996 to 2002 in the Gov. Bill Graves administration. Graves also appointed Sherrer secretary of the Kansas Department of Commerce and Housing.
A former member of the Emporia State University Foundation board of trustees, Sherrer also served on the Kansas Board of Regents including a term as chairman.
Dr. Sam Hayes (BS 1962) of Mission Hills, Kan., and his wife, Jeannene, established the lecture series as a way to engage Emporia State's alumni in highlighting their successes. Individuals whose leadership qualities, skills and accomplishments have led to distinction are featured in each annual lecture.
Sam Hayes served as chair of the ESU Foundation Board of Trustees from 2001 to 2003.

UNC Asheville Athletic Scholarship Endowment Program
"Invest in the future of Bulldogs"
A Gift Agreement form for establishing a UNC Asheville Athletic Scholarship Endowment is attached.
Establishing athletic scholarship endowments to underwrite the costs of tuition, room, board, books, fees, and other academic support services for all 15 NCAA I sports at UNC Asheville is our "Investment Plan for Future Bulldogs" and a top priority for our athletics department. Scholarship expenses are not optional and continue to rise on an annual basis.
In 2013-14 UNC Asheville had a total of 87 full-equivalent athletic scholarships for our 16 intercollegiate athletic teams and over 220 student-athletes. This number is far below the 132.7 full scholarships the NCAA permits us to offer our student-athletes. Endowments are becoming a key source of funding for our athletic program to insure that we can continue to offer educational opportunities to highly motivated and skilled student-athletes.
Opportunities exist to establish a permanently named endowment that will perpetually benefit student-athletes at UNC Asheville. An endowment fund is subject to a requirment that the principal be maintained intact and invested to create a source of revenue to fund athletic scholarships. Donors can choose to make an invesmtent from various options: cash, check, credit card, electronic funds transfers, payroll deductions, pledge, matching gifts,stocks and/or planned gifts. Investments can be made as a one-time contribution or may be made over a three-year pledge period.
Athletic Scholarship Endowments can be named in honor or memory of an individual with an initial gift and/or pledge of at least $25,000. Payment terms are flexible. Investments of any amount are welcome for new or currently established endowments.
Presently, we have 14 Athletic Scholarship Endowments that provide financial assistance to UNC Asheville student-athletes. These include:
Ruth & Luther Barnhardt Scholarship Fund
Robert Hartman Athletic Scholarship
Dave Hart Athletic Scholarship
Eddie Biedenbach Athletic Scholarship
Samuel J. Millar Athletic Scholarship
Willie and Carlene Locke Athletic Scholarship
Charlie "Choo-Choo" and Sarah Justice Athletic Scholarship
Lt. Colonel Cecil C. and Lois H. Hutchins Athletic Scholarship
Ralph F. Hooker Athletic Scholarship
Arthur P. Foley/Foley Family Athletic Scholarship
Wilma Sherrill Scholarship Endowment
JW and Darlene Davis Scholarship
Joyce & Bruce Goforth Endowed Athletic Scholarship
The Marcey R. Kattermann Athletics Endowed Scholarship
If you are interested in establishing an endowment or want to learn more about the UNC Asheville Athletic Scholarship Endowment Program, please contact: Janet R. Cone, Director of Athletics at 828-251-6922 or via email at email@example.com or Kelly Schukart, GM for Athletics Advancement at 828-251-6905 or via email at email@example.com.
