Postgame Quotes:
Galaxy head coach Bruce Arena
This has been hard. It hasn't been as hard for me as it has been on the players. It's been difficult and to manage to pull nine points out of three games is remarkable and it's all the credit to the players. They've been fabulous. We could see tonight we had a tired team and weren't as sharp going forward but, their concentration was great and their desire to compete and win were great. (Miguel) Lopez got us a good goal and for the most part we controlled that game and give New England credit for their little surge at the end almost getting a goal back.
Well obviously we're only losing two players right now in (Donovan) Ricketts and (Landon) Donovan and certainly (Josh) Saunders is going to get the call in the goal. With Landon, we have a combination of players we can use so we'll make due the best we can. We're 15 games in now. We only have four games in June, two home and two away. For us, that's like being on vacation compared to what we've been through. We've had three weeks of three games in a week so that's been difficult but hopefully some guys will step up and step in for Landon Donovan and Saunders is going to have the responsibility in Ricketts' position.
I thought David (Beckham) played well. He was a little fatigued from his travel. He managed to find 90-plus minutes in a testimonial game - which shouldn't help matters - but his ankle got tweaked a little bit. But he did a good job passing the ball and obviously a very good ball for (Miguel) Lopez's goal.
We've been good all year with the exception of Salt Lake. And we've been a little bit unlucky; a penalty kick against us in extra time I think against D.C. United and gave away, well we didn't give it away, but a bad play at the end of the Philadelphia game and those two plays resulted in us losing some points on the road, as well as shutouts, so we've been very good, I think, over the last 10 games or so defensively. We gave up four in Salt Lake and one the opening game at home with New England so we gave up five goals in our first three games and I think at this point now we're 10 goals after 15. So, we've defended quite well over the last 12 games or so.
Galaxy midfielder David Beckham
No, obviously I received the ball in a good position and I obviously put the ball in a good position and without Miguel running into that front post area. He's made my ball a good one. I think we deserved it, overall. I think we had a lot of chances, so we're happy.
I didn't feel fatigued at all. I've rested well since I've been back and I was ready to play and I think we proved that. I think we passed the ball around well tonight. We played the best soccer in the 90 minutes and we deserved to win.
Yeah, I had a kick against Chivas and obviously playing 90 minutes in Manchester on Wednesday, yeah I felt it a little bit. But obviously Bruce (Arena) wanted to freshen up and get some fresh legs out there and we finished the night off.
I think the only frustration on the night was probably we felt we should've had the game tied up before we scored because I think we created chances, we passed the ball around well and that's the only frustration. But we knew we'd get a good chance and we'd win the game if we scored a goal. So, you know, the frustration came from that but that's it.
Obviously a disappointment as a Man United fan, but obviously Barcelona are such a great passing team and they're so talented. They've obviously got great individual players and they work great as a team and they work hard as a team. But, you know, Manchester United just came up against a very good soccer team. Obviously disappointed as a Manchester United fan, but I think as a soccer fan, a lot of people probably enjoyed the game.
No, we just wanted to win the game - simple as that. We felt, obviously, when we played New England at home that we deserved to win the game but that's soccer, sometimes it doesn't happen. So tonight the objective was to get the three points and we've had a great week. We've had nine points in three games so we can't ask for much more than that.
Galaxy defender Omar Gonzalez
I thought the result was great. I thought we played well. I thought we controlled the whole game except for maybe the last five minutes but I thought that we fought hard to keep the clean sheet and it's just another great performance by our whole team.
I think it just goes to shows how hard this team works and we're just very committed to getting the proper rest. I mean, this is the third time that we do three games in one week and I think that getting nine points in three games is just incredible for us and moving forward, it's just a big confidence boost.
I mean, I thought the whole year we've done all right except for the Salt Lake game. Just as the year progresses, you're just going to get better and better. We keep on playing the same back five people and I think we're doing a great job. Just the whole team stays committed from the forwards to the keeper and we've just been doing a great job. We just need to keep it up and look to get clean sheets because that's what our job is as defenders and we love getting them.
Galaxy midfielder Landon Donovan
It was a great result for us. We had a really challenging week, playing against a team that was rested and waiting for us. I thought our effort was great. I thought we were a little bit better and if (Matt) Reis didn't have the night he had, maybe we would've scored a bit more but we're happy with it.
It starts with, believe it or not, our forwards and the way they defend and move, our midfielders making play predicable and then our back line making plays. (Our defenders) made some big plays tonight. They hadn't been as tested as they have in the previous two games but made the plays they needed to play. Our goalkeeping was good. It was a really good team effort.
A lot of guys made a lot of big plays. A.J. (DeLaGarza) made a big play before that. We put ourselves in positions on both sides of the field to make plays. Miguel (Lopez) made a great play to score the goal and other guys made great plays to ensure that we got the result.
(Benny Feilhaber has) been great since he got back. I followed him pretty closely. I'm very happy for him that he's back here and playing consistently. I think that's important. It's going to be fun to be with him again on the national team … I didn't see what happened to him. He was struggling coming off, so hopefully he's ok.
Revolution head coach Steve Nicol
It was definitely frustrating to come away losing one-nil. First half, I thought we did great. We made some chances but never took them. I think they had a couple of shots from distance. I think the whole game, we had shots from distance – they didn't really make anything other than the goal. The wee guy took it well. But obviously we want to do better. One slip and we lose the game. Frustrating is definitely the word.
I think the biggest problem we have is we're naïve. We don't make the best decisions at time. I think that's our biggest problem. Between the sync and the final third, we're just that wee bit out, whether it's a bad decision or a bad pass or a bad run. We have a real solid team. I don't think there's too much between the teams, to be honest, but they won. We're just a little bit away. But it's no good being a little bit away and losing games. We need to pick up points.
I don't think the reasons behind us not winning tonight are any different than they were the last few games, certainly the last home games. When it gets to that critical point, we're just not getting it done. Tonight, we had three great chances, we just didn't quite get it done. And that kind of sums of a lot of the stuff we're doing. Sometimes we look pretty good, but we just don't get it done. And that's where we are at the moment. If we could take the good stuff we did tonight and try to add to it, we always think we'll give anyone a game – home or away. We're never going to roll over for anybody. But we just need to get that wee bit extra that's missing and put it right.
I think (Benny Feilhaber) rolled his ankle. It's too early to tell you how bad or whatever.
Revolution midfielder Chris Tierney
It's hard to tell (if the ball crossed the line). I'd have to go back and take a look at it. It was too close. I'm not sure you can call it on the fly. It's just unlucky in the end … Zack (Schilawski) had a chance that (A.J.) DeLaGarza made a good clearance on and then it goes back out to Sainey (Nyassi). Zack hits the underside of the cross bar and Shalrie (Joseph) has a header saved off the line. We definitely had our chances, but they just didn't go in.
I think we started really well. We had a good chance through (Zak) Boggs to start the game and I think that if we had just snuck that early goal it would have been a different game. Unfortunately, it didn't fall for us but we created more chances against the best squad in the league than we had all year. I guess we can take that, but it still hurts.
We definitely caused them some problems, but that's what you'd expect. We're at home and at the end of the day we have to get the ball in the back of the net.
(David Beckham) drops off almost right on top of their back four. It's trouble if you press them and you leave gaps, he's got the quality to pick players out. He's tough to deal with and there's a reason he's played at the highest level in Europe. He's a great player and you saw what happens when you give him too much space. He whips in the ball and we're down one-nil.
Revolution midfielder Shalrie Joseph
We had some individual good performances in our back line, even though we gave up a couple of late chances. We were unlucky tonight both ways. We just couldn't get that bounce. We just couldn't get that ball to go in the back of the net. We had one early chance from (Zak) Boggs and I think if that one goes in it makes it a whole different game where they have to chase it instead of us trying to push it to them so much. Mentally, we just fell asleep on that goal. We know we can't give David (Beckham) all that time to cross balls - he just puts in great balls. He put a ball in a great area and it was a great finish. Other than that, we had a couple of chances and we just didn't finish. The game was wide open, and it was good for neutral supporters to see the game wide open with a lot of chances in the box. We can take a lot of positives, but at the end of the day, we lose and we didn't pick up the three points that we vitally need to move on.
I thought (the ball) was in, I swear to God. I was going to celebrate Zack (Schilawsk's) goal. Sainey (Nyassi) played just a great ball and I thought Zack finished it. It hit the post and I was watching it in the air. I saw the other guy and I was just concentrating a little too much on him instead of the ball. I tried to get my head onto it, and I think they cleared it off the line. We were celebrating - Sainey was celebrating like it went in, but the third official said it didn't get in. We didn't get that break that we needed tonight.
I assume it (crossed the line), to be honest. I'm 90 percent hoping it went across the line. It was so close. I saw the net shaking. I don't know how it was shaking and the ball didn't hit the net. It just didn't go in. They had one in off the crossbar that definitely didn't go in for sure, I know that. I thought mine went in or Zack (Schilawski's) went in for sure, so we didn't get that break that we needed.
It's hard to play from behind, especially for our team. Mentally, we have to stay with it for 90 minutes. When we give up that goal to start the second half and then we start pushing the tempo some more, the game was really wide open and that's good for the neutral supporters to see such a game so wide open. Tonight we just couldn't finish our chances. We created some chances here and there. We got a lot of players digging in and working hard. The back line was stellar for us, but we are still missing the goal scorer that we need. We got Rajko (Lekic) some chances early in the game and he was unlucky not to finish them, but we are going to have to take some positives from that and try to be better against Dallas.
If (Zak) Boggs puts that one in and Rajko (Lekic) gets his foot on one of those crosses, it makes a huge difference in the game. We don't have to chase the game so much or take it to them, especially in the first half. It is good for the way we play at home that we try to take it to people and not sit back and allow them to play. LA is a good team and you have to tip your hat to them. They played well tonight. They got the three points that they needed and we just have to bounce back and be better next week.

GLENBROOK, Nev. — Nevada wildlife officials say a black bear with a rap sheet had to be killed after it turned up at Lake Tahoe again this week posing a safety threat to beachgoers.
Nevada Department of Wildlife spokesman Chris Healy says the bear had been captured twice since 2011, most recently last year in the same area around Glenbrook. It was deemed too dangerous to be released to the wild a third time.
The Reno Gazette-Journal reports (http://tinyurl.com/oy3qnv6 ) the 3-year-old male was spotted Tuesday prowling on a Glenbrook beach. Biologists darted it Wednesday then chemically euthanized it in Reno.
It's the first bear put down as a safety threat in Nevada this year. Five were killed for that reason last year.
Biologists anticipate significant bear conflicts around Tahoe and the Sierra this season due to prolonged drought.

Straight through the white scar.
This route has number 19 in the printed guide. Seems like all the routes are offset by 3 because of some projects included in the book.
Didn't stretch, didn't feel any rounded holds, mostly crimps, as far as I can remember. Certainly not a stretchy route, anyway, I'm 164 and didn't have any particular trouble stretching for anything. Not worth 2 stars, but no doubt 1. Nice route.

ChemEd X contributors offer their ideas and opinions on a broad spectrum of topics pertaining to chemical education.
Blogs at ChemEd X reflect the opinions of the contributors and are open to comments. Only selected contributors blog at ChemEd X. If you would like to blog regularly at ChemEd X, please use our Contribution form to request an invitation to do so from one of our editors.
In this blog post, I share how I use an article from Dr. Peter Atkins, "Chemistry's Core Ideas." My IB Chemistry students read the article early in our program - and then revisit the article numerous times throughout our two-year course. The Google Slide document my students use is included in the supporting information.
I have written about Atomsmith before, but the new updates are worth another mention.
There are many activities that can be used to cover the topics of percent composition, empirical and molecular formulas and hydrates. Percent composition of sugar in a piece of bubble gum is an easy activity to begin the unit with.
I was having difficulty with a student that was making poor choices in the lab. When I saw him making positive choices and acknowledged that, our relationship changed for the better.

Face to face professional development provides the opportunity for teachers to learn from and share with other teachers. This post provides an example of one of the many great ideas that I have learned from other teachers.
I allowed my students to choose between two separation type laboratories. About two thirds of the class chose to separate the flavoring out of a grape of cherry soda. The rest of the students used paper chromatography to determine if red-40 dye was in a specific type of candy.

Date Posted: Monday, November 19th, 2012
Categories: Former Governor Jack Markell (2009-2017) International Trade Office of the Governor
Fresh Clementines & Continued Cargo Growth Support Port Jobs
Wilmington – Governor Jack Markell, Senator Chris Coons and other Delaware officials today welcomed Ambassador Mohamed Rachad Bouhlal of the Kingdom of Morocco to the Port of Wilmington.
"It's a great honor to be here today to welcome the arrival of these clementines and to celebrate the increasingly strong economic partnership– a partnership that this shipment symbolizes– between Morocco and the United States," said Ambassador Rachad Bouhlal.
The Port of Wilmington is the exclusive port of entry for clementines from Fresh Fruit Maroc – the leading consortium representing Moroccan produce exporters. The cargo brings in $5.6 million in annual revenue and is responsible for approximately 100 quality jobs.
"Moroccan cargo has employed people here in Delaware for more than a decade," said Governor Markell. "We're pleased to have the opportunity to thank Ambassador Bouhlal and the team from Fresh Fruit Maroc. Our trade with Morocco is thriving and I look forward to continuing our partnership, creating jobs and keeping Americans supplied with healthy produce all winter."
The previous clementine season, which ran from late October 2011 through February 2012, saw 22,964 tons of clementines enter the Port of Wilmington, a 114% increase over the previous year.
"Cultivating positive trade relationships is key to growing Delaware's economy," Senator Chris Coons said. "The Moroccan cargo that comes through the Port of Wilmington generates millions in revenue in the U.S. every year and supports jobs right here in Delaware. I am pleased to help welcome Ambassador Bouhlal and the team from Fresh Fruit Maroc to Delaware today, and to help continue to develop this flourishing partnership." Senator Coons is chair of the Senate Foreign Relations Subcommittee on African Affairs.
The delegation was joined by Agriculture Secretary Edwin Kee and Delaware State Housing Authority Secretary Anas Ben Addi, who is originally from Morocco and played a key role in facilitating the relationship with Ambassador Bouhlal. Secretary Alan Levin, who is Chair of the Diamond State Port Corporation, led the tour of the Port.
"We are fortunate to have the top seaport for fruit and the largest on-dock cold storage complex in North America," said Secretary Levin
In the 2011-2012 season, Fresh Fruit Maroc inaugurated a breakbulk clementine program, instead of containers, for the U.S. market. Using the Port's cold treatment facilities and expertise to comply with USDA import protocol, this change significantly improved the reliability of delivery times to U.S.-based marketing and distribution companies.. "From Delaware, Moroccan clementines can reach more than 200 million North American consumers in less than 24 hours. Efforts by Fresh Fruit Maroc, Port personnel and companies like LGS Sales to find innovative ways to improve efficiency have been key to growth."
Since this trade partnership commenced in 2000, Fresh Fruit Maroc and their growers have shipped more than 242,000 pallets of clementines, with a commercial value exceeding $345 million.

text: Hi. My name's Stacy. I decided to write this here because I couldn't think of any better place to put it. I guess it's for girls like me, and for guys who might like reading this sort of stuff. Anyway, a little about me. I'm not, like, extremely gorgeous or anything, but I wouldn't say I'm ugly either. I have bleach blonde hair and brown eyes, but I'm a lot shorter than I would prefer to be. I'm almost 5'2". I weigh about 103 lbs., which is probably a little too skinny, but I'm not anorexic or anything. A couple of years ago, my sister took me to spend the weekend with her at her college. I wanted to see the campus since I needed to determine where I was going to go to school. She liked to party, but I was always the type to study. Some people said I studied too much. Well, the second night I was there, she talked me into going to a frat party with her on the other side of the campus. I can remember it like it was yesterday. Since it was a party, I decided to just wear some blue jeans and my favorite pink shirt. It was about a 15 minute walk to the frat house, which was a big white building. It was dark and there was a lot of noise coming from the building as we neared it. Inside, there were boys and girls dancing to a boom box and drinking. My sister disappeared for a few minutes and I stood in a corner waiting for her to come back. Across the room, I saw a black guy looking at me and smiling. He mouthed the word, "Hi." When I waved back, he pushed through the people dancing and came over to me. "You, okay?" he asked. "You look a little lost." I nodded. "Yeah, I'm just waiting on my sister to come back. She wandered off somewhere." "I don't think I've seen you on campus before," he told me. "Oh. No, I don't go to school here. I go to Lincoln High. We'll be graduating this year, and I'm visiting. I think I might be coming here next year." He was standing really close to me, invading my personal space. And he was tall. He seemed like he was two feet taller than me, but I'm really bad at judging that kind of thing. "Oh, really?" he said, smiling and walking closer. My sister came back then with two drinks in her hand. I swear she seemed like she was already drunk. "Oh, hey you two!" she said. "I see you've met James," she said, handing me a drink of some type of alcohol. It wasn't beer. "Well, kind-of," I said. Though I don't drink, I didn't want to seem like a prude, so I took a sip. "He didn't really tell me his name." "Oh," she said, slurring her speech, which told me she was already drunk. "Well, James, this is my sis Stacy. And Stacy, this is James." He smiled, looking down at me and began, "Nice to me...' Then a new song started on the boombox and my sister let out a big yell. "WHOOOOOO!" And she stumbled out into the dancing crowd. I don't think James even barely noticed. "Nice to meet you, Stacy," he said, standing what seemed like even closer. "Nice to meet you, too," I said. "Is it always so loud?" He laughed. "Only when we party. You want to come up to my room where it's quieter?" I thought about it a second, and decided there would be more space and more peace there until things calmed down. So, I agreed. "Sure, it's a little too wild down here for me." "Okay, but we don't allow drinks into our rooms, so drink that up. The faster you finish it, the faster we can get to the quiet." I looked down into my cup, and it seemed like there was a lot of liquid in it. But I was young, and I wanted to seem cool, so I drank it pretty fast, taking large gulps and sat the plastic cup on a rail. He seemed impressed. "There you go. Let's get out of here," he told me, taking my hand in his much larger one and leading me upstairs. James' room wasn't too big, but there was a lot more space without the crowd. He closed the door to block out the noise. "There, much better," he said. I agreed. "That's crazy down there." I was starting to feel a little light headed from drinking so fast. I'd never been drunk before or even had a buzz, so it was hitting me pretty hard. "You look a little pale," he said. "You feeling okay?" "Yeah, it's just the alcohol I think." "You want to lay down to chill a little? Might not be a bad idea if you're not used to it." "Well, okay, I guess." I took off my sneakers and laid on my back on his bed. But when I did, the room started spinning even more. "I don't feel so good," I told him. "Don't think about it," he said. "Just relax." He put on some soft music which was kinda soothing and came over and sat on the edge of the bed. "Let me help you," he said, and put his big, black hands on my shoulders and massaged them. That seemed to help even more, so I just laid there and enjoyed it, still feeling the buzzing, but at least the room had stopped spinning. He massaged my arms, my temples, and took off my socks and rubbed my feet. "That feels good," I said. "Yeah, I had to learn all of this in my sports training," he told me. "Really? What do you play?" "Baseball, basketball, football, just about everything," he laughed. "You want some more massaging?" I nodded silently. "Well, to really do it right, you'd need to take off your pants and shirt." Now, if I hadn't had a buzz, I don't think I would have agreed. But James seemed nice, and it had felt so good. So I stood, and the world spinned again. I would have fell, but James caught me and supported me. "Easy there, girl." He helped me out of my pants and shirt, leaving me only in my red bra and panties. I laid back down and his hands felt marvelous on my little body. My legs felt light as he rubbed the muscles, starting at the ankles and working up over the calves, under the knees and up my thighs. As you can probably guess, I started to feel really horny. He rubbed my belly and sides. "You have a really pretty body, Stacy." My face felt hot, and I was still buzzing nicely. I told him thank you. "Let's take that bra off," he said, and reached under me, unhooking it. I didn't protest. My breasts aren't very big, just an average B-cup, so his large hands easily covered them. Massaging them, making my nipples hard. I don't know how long he rubbed them, but it seemed like forever. He took his time, exploring every inch. By now, I had gotten really wet, and he started to pull down my panties. But I hesitated. "I've never done this," I told him. "Do you want to?" he asked. Everything had felt so good and so right, and I was buzzing so much I whispered, "Okay." He pulled my panties down my legs and stood up and took off his clothes. I opened my legs, and he gently rubbed my pussy at first with his finger. "Ah, good and wet." Then, as I looked down, I saw the size of his cock. It was so big, it scared me, and I started to close my legs, but he grabbed them under my knees and spread them wide. "Don't worry, baby. I've got to hit this now." He pressed the tip of his cock against my hole and applied a little pressure and it slipped inside. I let out a little, "Ah," feeling pain as he pressed against my cherry. Again, by instinct I tried to close my legs, but he had them under firm control. "Damn," he said. "This sweet, white virgin pussy is so damn good." And he pushed. There was a sharp pain as my hymen broke and he slid a little more inside of me. "Owww," I said, arching my back from the pain. Pushing in and pulling out, little by little he stretched me until his cock had fully disappeared inside of me. He held it there, as I clenched my teeth together getting used to it. "Tight, white girl ain't gonna be so tight after tonight," he said. And then he started fucking me. After a little bit it started to feel really good. He had let go of my legs and was rubbing my clitoris, which kept me really wet for him. I let out sharp little gasps of "Ah. Ah," every time his big cock entered me. His speed increased. I could feel him growing larger inside of me. Swelling and growing. Streatching me more and more as I buckled my knees, gasping frequently. Then he grabbed my hips and thrust hard deep inside of me and held it there. I felt his cock start pulsing and a sharp stabbing pain as he held it deep inside of me yelling, "Damn, yes! Breed that sweet, white, virgin pussy good!" The pulsing started to subside, and he finally pulled out and started putting on his clothes. I was stunned. "Did you? Did you just cum inside of me?" "Fuck yeah, white girl," he said. "You got some good pussy." And he walked out. I was still buzzing, but I got dressed and walked back downstairs to the party where I found my sister looking for me. She didn't seem near as drunk as she had before. "There you are!" she said. "Having fun?" "I think I want to go back to the dorm," I told her. She agreed. As we walked back, she told me, "I was worried I was going to have to beat James up when I couldn't find either of you. There's a rumor about him that he's fucked several girls on campus. I don't think it's true, but I'm glad he left you pretty much alone." I didn't bother telling her anything. I didn't bother telling anyone. It had felt really good. But he had left a little present behind to make sure everyone would know. Today, I still haven't started going to any college. After 20 weeks, my belly pretty much let everyone know I was pregnant. My family was shocked. They had always thought if either of their daughters got knocked up, it would have been my sister, Daphne. They were even more shocked when I gave birth and saw that it was a black man's baby. View attachment 20290

We talked to a majority of Big Ten athletic directors for our series of stories looking at the issues that need to be determined for the 2014 season and beyond. Wisconsin athletic director Barry Alvarez declined to speak with ESPN.com for those stories, but he's an influential voice among the league's athletic directors.
Alvarez has weighed in with some of his thoughts on how the divisions should look in Wisconsin's official online magazine, Varsity. The College Football Hall of Famer echoed many of his colleagues by saying geography needs to play a bigger role in division alignment than it did two years ago.
"When you add two teams from the East -- Maryland and Rutgers -- I think it's important that you consider the option of determining the divisions by geography," Alvarez wrote. "That only makes sense.
"I thought the Big Ten did a very good job in researching everything from the time that Penn State joined the league. It clearly showed that there were teams that separated themselves from the others. But I want to play Iowa every year. I didn't like not playing Iowa the last two years. I know our fans didn't like it either. I want to continue to play Minnesota every year. I also want to play Nebraska every year. That has turned into a natural rivalry for us. Those games are important to our fans because they can travel to the games."
The loss of the Iowa-Wisconsin game was one of the big drawbacks of the division system in 2011 and 2012 (the two teams will play in 2013). It makes perfect sense for the Badgers to play Iowa, Minnesota and Nebraska every year, and unless one of those is a permanent crossover game, the best way to ensure that is by placing all four teams in the same division. That is easily accomplished by an East-West split, or even the Inner-Outer plan.
Alvarez's comments also illustrate what will be one of the main factors in the athletic directors' meetings, the first of which is a couple of weeks. Each school has a rival or a set of rivals that it would like to play each year. It will be difficult if not impossible to satisfy all those desires, so the conference leaders may have to prioritize which rivalries are most worth preserving.

The great majority of German Catholics believe it is important that children and young people be given a more active and intense presentation of the faith, according to a poll carried out among some three thousand German Catholics.
The results of the poll, revealed by the Work of St. Boniface, show 86% consider instruction in the faith to be urgently needed, and 71% complained about the lack of formation in the faith.
Asked about the persons most responsible for their faith, 97% said credited their parents or some relative, 73% credited a priest or religious, 43% said a religion teacher, and 18% credited others.
64% said society makes it difficult for young people to become interested in the faith. Asked about the message they would send to people today, 68% said, "God welcomes you without buts or conditions," 33% said, "Seek peace among people," and 62% said, "Life after death."
The majority of those surveyed said passing on the faith to one's children is extremely important.

UNICEF Tap Project Raises a Glass to Clean Water
CHICAGO, Illinois, March 28, 2008 (ENS) – To mark World Water Day, celebrated on March 22 each year, hundreds of Chicagoland area restaurants participated in the week-long UNICEF Tap Project. The program was started last year to bring attention to the urgent need for clean drinking water and to help supply parts of the world where clean, safe water is a rarity.
During the week that began March 16, nearly 200 city and suburban restaurants and bars invited patrons to donate $1 for tap water usually enjoyed for free. For every dollar raised, a child will have clean drinking water for 40 days.
"Lake Michigan is one of the greatest sources fresh water on the planet. Unlike other parts of the world where clean, safe water is a rare commodity, here in Chicago and throughout Illinois, we are privileged to have access to safe water every day," said Illinois EPA Director Doug Scott.
"Some of the best things we can do for future generations are to further protect and restore the country's fresh waterways, continue to make sure the water flowing through our rivers and lakes and into our taps is clean and safe, and continue to urge people to become educated about the scarcity of water through projects like the Chicago Tap Project," said Scott.
According to a study by the National Resources Defense Council, Chicago enjoys some of the best tap water on Earth.
Some of Chicago's most notable chefs – including Rick Tramonto, Carrie Nahabedian, Bruce Sherman, Sarah Stegner, George Bumbaris and Paul Virant – and their restaurants lent their support to make Chicago's Tap Project a success.
"Restaurants are called on weekly to participate in charitable events and the sizeable list of Tap Project participants once again demonstrates the restaurant industry's tradition of giving back," said Sheila O'Grady, president of the Illinois Restaurant Association, IRA.
"The IRA supports the mission of UNICEF's Tap Project with Copperblue, Hackney's Printers' Row and Va Pensiero as just a few of our member restaurants involved in this important humanitarian project," O'Grady said.

The Tap Project was created as part of "Esquire" magazine's December 2006 'Best & Brightest' issue, to raise awareness about a lack of safe drinking water worldwide. The project raised $100,000 in partnership with the US Fund for UNICEF in 2007. The goal is to raise $1 million this year.
Last year, over 300 New York City restaurants, along with thousands of their customers and individual contributors helped to make the inaugural Tap Project a huge success.
This year, it went national. From Dallas, Texas, to Seattle, Washington, more than 2,200 restaurants took part.
More than one billion people lack access to safe drinking water sources and more than 5,000 children die each day due to dehydration and other water-related illnesses, according to United Nations figures.
"Every year, unsafe water and lack of basic sanitation contribute to the deaths of an estimated 1.5 million children under the age of five," said UNICEF Executive Director Ann Veneman the Tap Project celebration March 20 in New York.
"Increasing access to clean and safe water will not only save young lives, it will also help break the vicious circle of poverty," said Veneman, a former U.S. secretary of agriculture.
"Here in Illinois," said Scott, "we are fortunate to have an adequate supply of safe drinking water in to meet the needs of our population, and when more than 11 million Illinois residents turn on the tap, they can be assured their water meets the federal health standards."
The most recent annual Compliance Report for the more than 6,000 public water supplies in the state showed that 99.9 percent of the population served by these systems received water that met all acute standards set by the federal government.
More than 1,700 of the largest community water systems are subject to extensive monitoring and reporting requirements under the oversight of the Illinois EPA for a variety of potential contaminants.
Illinois EPA will oversee additional federal requirements over the next few years, including new limits on disinfection byproducts and other potential contaminants in source water, which can either be from lakes or rivers, or from groundwater wells.
In addition, although there are no applicable federal standards, Illinois recently expanded monitoring for pharmaceuticals in Illinois waterways after trace amounts were found in sampling done in other states by the Associated Press. Previous sampling done by the U.S. Geological Survey in 2002 also found trace pharmaceuticals in rivers and streams across the country.
Illinois EPA has implemented a recent pilot project with local governments to collect more unused medications for safe disposal.
Illinois citizens can access data on their own community water system online by going to the Illinois EPA website at: www.epa.state.il.us and clicking on the "Environmental Facts Online" button on the right side of the home page.

by Veronica Miller, theGrio
After catching an afternoon showing of Tyler Perry's Temptation on its opening day, I left the movie completely annoyed.
I wasn't just annoyed by the sophomoric dialogue, or the highly-predictable-yet-highly-improbable plot.
And I wasn't just annoyed by the poor editing and overwrought melodrama (though all of those things gave me plenty to be annoyed by).
What sent me over the edge was the heavy-handed punishment of a female character who happened to be interested in sex, and the implication that the rest of her days on Earth were doomed to loneliness and regret. Oh. And HIV.
Warning: Major movie spoilers ahead
Tyler Perry's Temptation is a so-called "erotic thriller," which explores what happens when a married woman pursues an extramarital affair. The main character, Judith (played by Jurnee Smollett-Bell), is a small-town girl who moves to Washington, D.C., with her childhood-sweetheart-turned-husband, Brice (played by Lance Gross). Six years into their marriage, Judith grows restless and feels unappreciated, bored with Brice's 10-year-plan and annoyed that he's been too aloof to remember her birthday.
Enter Harley, a wealthy — like, really really really wealthy — social media entrepreneur, who's looking to invest in the matchmaking service where Judith works. Glances are exchanged, banter is traded, pickup lines are dropped, and it's not too long be Judith is resisting-but-not-really-resisting Harley's advances.
Eventually, Judith leaves Brice at home to gallivant around town at black-light parties and snort coke with Harley. (Because that's what women do when they have affairs with rich men. They go to black-light parties and snort coke.)
But let me fast-forward and tell you how this story ends. Brice, upset that his wife has left him, seeks solace in his friend Melinda (played by Brandy Norwood). Melinda's been on the run from a stalking ex (who we easily figure out is Harley), and Brice asks her if she thinks she'll ever find love again. There's an awkward pause, and then Melinda reveals she's HIV-positive. "So no," she concludes. She will not find love again. Because in Tyler Perry's world, people living with HIV are doomed to live a life of lovelessness and solitude.
When Melinda shares that Harley is the ex who gave her HIV, Brice panics. Suddenly, he must save Judith. Judith must be saved from the HIV! Brice races to Harley's apartment, finds Judith beaten up and left in a bathtub, and carries her home (not without throwing Harley through a window and punching him a few times).
The future isn't so bright
For a moment, there's a glimmer of hope — maybe the broken couple will reunite through this trauma, maybe Brice's undying love for Judith will heal her battered face and gloss over her bad decisions, and maybe the pair will settle into married bliss once again. Except…
Tyler Perry catapults us an indeterminate number of years into the future, showing a hobbled, bespectacled and homely Judith limping to Brice's pharmacy to get her HIV medication. As she's leaving, we meet Brice's new (unsettlingly-younger) wife and young son, a picture-perfect snapshot of what Judith could have had, had she not messed around and gotten the HIV.
We're left with a shot of Judith walking away, "to church" she says, hobbling down a nondescript sidewalk in D.C.
It's all entirely too insulting.
The vilification of women and HIV victims
I could spend days talking about the way Tyler Perry vilifies and punishes women with any speck of ambition, education or sexual desire in his movies (and I have).
But the "shocker" HIV storyline in "Temptation" was egregiously repulsive, implying that people who live with HIV (as over one million people in the U.S. do) are either a) being punished for some sort of iniquity, and/or b) will live a loveless, lonely life of despair and regret.
The worst part is that Temptation treats Judith's HIV infection as a modern-day version of leprosy, and presents her hobbling with the disease as a reasonable resolution to the story, a justified sealing of her fate. Note that Brice remains uninfected, and that Harley simply vanishes, presumably flying away in his jet to infect another unsuspecting young woman.
Perry's message is targeted specifically at black women — live the way a good little Christian girl should, or be eternally damned with disease.
I can't say it enough. It's insulting.
A mentality that's stuck in the 90s
For one, Perry seem stuck in the mid-1990s, when HIV truly was a death sentence for those who were infected, before medical technology advanced to its current state.
The film also implies that an HIV diagnosis means there's no longer a need to dress fashionably, appear attractive or embody any kind of joy. It sounds superficial on the surface, but look at the contrast — pre-HIV Judith was lively and passionate, with long flowing hair, a stylish wardrobe and an impish glint in her eye.
But after being diagnosed, Judith is transformed into a homely "church lady," hair pulled back, glasses too large for her face, her entire body swallowed by a large, drab grey overcoat.
The implication: Women with HIV lose all desire (or any need) to look and feel like women.
HIV is not a 'boogeyman disease'
In Perry's world, Judith's new life apparently only involves church, picking up medication, and advising other young married women not to make her mistakes. This flies in the face of the reality of many HIV patients who document their live full, exciting lives in support communities such as TheBody.com, and those who continue tireless work as awareness advocates.
Perry's use of HIV as a moralistic plot device undercuts the decades-long effort remove the stigma of the virus. And seeing how African-Americans, by far, are disproportionately affected by HIV, it's arguably irresponsible for Perry — a filmmaker known for his influence with African-Americans audiences — to continue to portray HIV as a life-ending "boogeyman disease" that only affects "bad" or deserving people. I can only imagine how insulting Perry's treatment is to HIV awareness warriors like Marvelyn Brown, Rae Lewis-Thornton, and Hydeia Broadbent.
Countless other stars and luminaries in the black community — Alicia Keys, Sheryl Lee Ralph, Blair Underwood and Magic Johnson, among others — have worked for years to increase awareness and education and provide support for HIV patients.
They understand its impact on black Americans, and they've used their platforms to advance the conversation about the virus, not to stifle it. It's high time for Tyler Perry to catch up.

Students learn about history by reliving it
She�s preacher Jonathan Edwards one minute. Then she spins into the shoes of Anglican evangelical George Whitefield, all the while attempting to match the fervor of the figures that transformed American life.
But this isn�t a mere acting gig for the Whitewater High School sophomore; it�s history brought to life.
And it earned her huge accolades at the National History Day competition held last month in Maryland.
Every year, more than a half-million students enter the National History Day contest, which gives middle and high school students the opportunity to present their own research on American history through papers, exhibits or performances.
Kalas started working on her performance, a theatrical interpretation of the religious revival known as The Great Awakening, as part of a U.S. history class at Whitewater. Since the projects require students to conduct a daunting amount of both primary and secondary sources, Whitewater teacher Greg Stewart got them started in September.
�They get so much in terms of their research, it�s hard to leave things out, as a historian would,� Stewart said. �They have to be very judicious, as a historian would be.�
When Kalas found trouble settling on a topic, she consulted with her father and grandfather, both Methodist pastors. They suggested focusing on the Great Awakening, as they already had some secondary sources in the church. Kalas also traveled to Madison for her primary sources, which included correspondence from the very preachers she hoped to emulate.
First, though, she had to break down the texts.
�It was written in older English, so it was hard to understand what exactly they were talking about,� Kalas said.� �I was really pretty overwhelmed. It was written for pretty advanced levels of reading. Plus the S�s look like F�s. My parents had to explain to me.�
After three months of research, she put the mixture of religious philosophy and American history into context and wrote a 10-minute performance that portrayed the preachers involved and their impact on the American Revolution. Kalas earned a trip to the national competition, along with fellow Whitewater students Andy Tautges and Paul Pelayo, when she came in first in her category during statewide competition.
Of the half a million students starting at the local level, only about 600 make it to the national competition. For this reason alone, Kalas didn�t expect much else out of her trip to Maryland except a nice sightseeing trip of Washington D.C. and Colonial Williamsburg.
Kalas� hopes jumped a bit when her first round performance earned her a spot in the final round. Kalas gave an encore for the judges and hoped for the best.
She finished in ninth place. Only the top three students in each categories were guaranteed scholarships. Kalas was initially disappointed, but another award boosted her spirits: Colonial Williamsburg was so impressed that it gave her a scholarship.
Stewart was especially proud of the results, since this was only Whitewater�s third year participating in the contest. More than the awards, he hopes his students have gotten something valuable out of the experience.
Kalas certainly did. Aside from having built up a new knowledge base, she said the whole trip was worth it�even if she didn�t come in first this time.
�The performances are just why we�re there, sure, but it�s a little part of the experience,� Kalas said. �You want to enjoy the experience of meeting new people and seeing other people�s projects, see their websites.
�It�s really neat to see what people have put into this.�

Looking dangerous
Looking dangerous
As you're walking down the street
All the people that you meet
Know you're looking dangerous
When you look in the mirror
You've got nothing to fear
Looking dangerous
Looking dangerous
Looking dangerous
When you go out at night
Strut left, strut right
Looking dangerous
You've got 'em howling at the moon
Offering silver spoons
Looking dangerous

For the second time in as many summers, Cicero-North Syracuse basketball star Breanna Stewart got selected to represent her country — and the end result was a gold medal.
Stewart played with the USA Basketball Under-17 team as the inaugural FIBA Under-17 World Championship in Toulouse, France, and played a crucial role in the team's undefeated run to a championship, averaging 12.8 points and 7.5 rebounds per game.
The 12-player roster featured standouts from New York, California, North Carolina, Tennessee, Delaware, Illinois and Virginia, all run by head coach Barbara Nelson, who is the coach at Wingate University near Charlotte, N.C.
Prior to the tournament, Team USA played in three exhibitions, routing Canada 93-47 and edging Spain 61-50, but losing 64-58 to Australia in between. From that point forward, the Americans were never in danger of getting caught.
In all, the tournament featured 12 nations, split into a pair of six-team divisions that would play five round-robin games. Four teams from each division would advance into the elimination rounds. The Americans would be the lone undefeated team in round-robin play.
On July 16, Team USA, playing in Group A, opened against
the hosts from France, with more than 2,000 people on hand, the largest crowd any of the visiting players, Stewart included, had ever faced.
It hardly mattered, though, as the Americans rolled to a 70-45 victory with a big second-half spurt as it enjoyed a 47-26 rebounding margin. Stewart led the way on both ends, earning a team-high 13 points to go with seven rebounds and four blocks.
Then Team USA really got on a roll, ripping Russia 82-38 on July 17 as Stewart, in just 13 minutes of court time, racked up 12 points and nine rebounds. A day later, it was a rematch with Canada and a 114-57 blowout that saw all 12 players get on the board, with Stewart contributing eight points, nine rebounds, three blocks and three steals.
Following a day of rest, Team USA resumed its tear on July 20, handling Turkey 84-55 to clinch the top seed in Group A. A 21-4 start set the tone as every player converted at least one field goal and Stewart got 10 points and five rebounds.
Instead of relaxing, Team USA closed out group play on July 21 with the biggest offensive eruption of the tournament, a 133-71 romp over Japan, and it was here that Stewart had her finest effort. She hit on her first six field goals and didn't let up until she had earned 30 points on 13-of-15 shooting, plus seven rebounds, three assists and three blocks.
Two days later, Team USA hit the quarterfinals against the same Spanish side it faced in exhibition play, this time taking control early and rolling to an 86-57 victory.
Late in the first quarter, the Americans went on a 23-4 run and never got caught in a strong team effort where Stewart had just four points, but many others stepped up as Kaleena Lewis led with 16 points and, again, everyone on the roster contributed at least one basket.
The semifinal last Saturday pitted Team USA against China and was the biggest scare to date. Only up by seven with one quarter to play, the Americans hit another gear and ended up with a 97-74 win to advance to the gold-medal round.
Hot shooting kept China close much of the time, but all that changed in the final period as Team USA held them to just three field goals in 22 attempts. Meanwhile, Stewart resumed her starring role, getting a double-double of 17 points and 11 rebounds, adding five blocks.
So it all came down to Sunday's championship contest, where, completing the circle, Team USA again met France, again in front of a loud and partisan home crowd — and again conquered the moment, taking the gold medal with a 92-62 victory.
The Americans bolted to a 26-10 advantage by the end of the first quarter, only to have France convert a series of 3-pointers and briefly peak in front 31-30 before a 20-7 run to close the half left Team USA with a 50-38 lead at the break.
Again utilizing its unmatched depth, Team USA stretched out the margin in the second half. Stewart picked up eight points and eight rebounds, with Ariel Massengale getting 20 points as Lewis and Elizabeth Willams got 15 points apiece.
This came on the same day that Stewart's two teammates at CNS, Brittany Paul and Kelsey Mattice, played for their own title with the Central region scholastic women's team in the Empire State Games at Niagara University, north of Buffalo.
Central lost to Hudson Valley, but Paul and Mattice still brought home silver medals — just as Stewart was picking up her gold across the Atlantic.

It's official: we don't have a tea kettle. We were sure our old kettle was hiding in some unpacked box, but it seems the tea kettle didn't make the move with us.
And, well, we can't have a home without a tea kettle - especially during fall and winter! Sure, we've been getting along just fine by heating up water in a saucepan, but I'm ready for a cute, colorful tea kettle to take its place on top of our stove.
Which would you pick?
Clockwise from the top:
Le Creuset Zen Teakettle from amazon
KitchenAid Porcelain Tea Kettle from Bed Bath & Beyond
Rachael Ray Whistling Tea Kettle from Target
FancyCook Whistling Tea Kettle from amazon
Copco Camden Tea Kettle from amazon
Reston Lloyd Teapot from amazon
Farberware Luna Tea Kettle from Bed Bath & Beyond
Chantal Tilt Teakettle from Target
Le Creuset Halo Tea Kettle from Bed Bath & Beyond
Calypso Basics Whistling Tea Kettle from amazon
PS - these electric water kettles are pretty cute, too.
