The 1997 Constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the caretaker Government generally respected this right in practice. In February 2001, the Court of Appeals found that the Constitution remains in force, despite its purported abrogation by insurgent forces in mid-2000.
There was no change in the status of respect for religious freedom during the period covered by this report, and government policy continued to contribute to the generally free practice of religion.
The generally amicable relationship among religions in society contributed to religious freedom.
The U.S. Government discusses religious freedom issues with the Government in the context of its overall dialog and policy of promoting human rights.
Section I. Religious Demography
The country consists of more than 300 islands, 100 of which are inhabited; most of the population is concentrated on the main island of Viti Levu. The country's total area is approximately 6,800 square miles, and its population is approximately 800,000 persons, according to information from the Bureau of Population in 2001. Among the 3 major religions, there are 449,482 Christians, 264,173 Hindus, and 54,323 Muslims. The largest Christian denomination is the Methodist Church, which claims 218,000 members. Other Protestant denominations and the Roman Catholic Church also have significant followings. The Methodist Church is supported by the majority of the country's chiefs and remains influential in the ethnic Fijian community, particularly in rural areas. There also are a small number of non-denominational Christian sects.
Religion runs largely along ethnic lines. The population is split largely between two main ethnic groups: Indigenous Fijians who constitute approximately 51 percent; and Indo-Fijians, who constitute 44 percent. Most Indo-Fijians practice Hinduism; most indigenous Fijians follow Christianity. Other ethnic communities include Chinese and European persons. Approximately 60 percent of the Chinese community practice Christianity and 40 percent practice Confucianism or some form of ancestor worship. The European community is predominantly Christian.
The Hindu faith is predominant within the Indo-Fijian community; the Muslim (Sunni) minority makes up approximately 10 percent of the Indo-Fijian community. Both the Hindu and Muslim communities have a number of active religious and cultural organizations.
There are numerous Christian missionary organizations that are nationally and regionally active in social welfare, health, and education. Many major Christian denominations, notably the Methodist Church, have missionaries in the country; they operate numerous religious schools, including colleges, which are not subsidized by the Government.
Section II. Status of Religious Freedom
Legal/Policy Framework
The 1997 Constitution provides for freedom of religion, and the present caretaker Government generally respects this right in practice. The Government at all levels strives to protect this right in full and does not tolerate its abuse. Citizens have the right, either individually or collectively, both in public and private, to manifest their religion or belief in worship, observance, practice, or teaching. There is no state religion, although the Methodist Church is working to establish a Christian state. Religious groups are not required to register. The Government does not restrict foreign clergy and missionary activity, or other typical activities of religious organizations.
Major observances of all three major religions are celebrated as national holidays, including Christmas, Easter, Diwali, and Mohammed's birthday. The Government partly sponsors an annual ecumenical prayer festival.
Restrictions on Religious Freedom
Government policy and practice contributed to the generally free practice of religion; however, the role of religion continues to be a political issue. Methodist Church authorities and allied political parties continue to work for the establishment of a Christian state. The Church has displayed strong nationalist sympathies, and a letter of support from the head of the Methodist Church, Reverend Tomasi Kanilagi, to George Speight, the leader of the May 19, 2000, armed takeover of Parliament, was made public in the press in June 2001. In the letter, Reverend Kanilagi publicly expressed his intention to use the Methodist Church as a forum under which to unite all ethnic Fijian political parties for the elections scheduled for August 2001. The meetings held for this purpose were not subjected to the same stringent permit restrictions as other political gatherings. Those parties dominated by Indo-Fijians do not support the establishment of a Christian state and insist that church and state should remain separate.
There were no reports of religious prisoners or detainees.
Forced Religious Conversion
There were no reports of forced religious conversion, including of minor U.S. citizens who had been abducted or illegally removed from the United States, or of the refusal to allow such citizens to be returned to the United States.
Section III. Societal Attitudes
The generally amicable relationship among religions in society contributed to religious freedom. While relations generally are cordial between the two largest religious communities, Christian and Hindu, there were two incidents of vandalism directed against Hindu places of worship, in May and June 2001. In addition, in August 2001, a Catholic church was desecrated. The Hindu religious group Sanatan indicated that it believes that the attacks against its places of worship were isolated incidents and not indicative of greater intolerance. The perpetrators of all three acts of vandalism never have been identified, and the police treated them as isolated incidents.
Civil society is heavily Christian, and the New Testament is quoted frequently in letters to newspaper editors. Christian religious sources have stated several times that their view on religious tolerance is that it is "not a matter of being Christian, but instead accepting Jesus Christ as your Savior."
Muslim religious leaders continued to press for the establishment of separate Islamic courts for their minority community; however, there were no new developments on the issue during the period covered by this report.
Section IV. U.S. Government Policy
The U.S. Government discusses religious freedom issues with the Government in the context of its overall dialog and policy of promoting human rights. The Embassy has disseminated public diplomacy materials related to political and religious freedom across a wide spectrum of society. The Embassy continued to make religious freedom an important part of its effort to promote democracy and human rights.

So far, looks like Grinnell is Clone country.
NHL teams need to be added to the favorite teams section.
except for the little troll looking guy that might have been related to Tommy in Des Moines or Bob in Newton.
Whew! When I first saw the title of this thread, I thought it was the name of a new reality show based in IC.
I think they need to try and gut it out even 1 day in our 1977 Chevy RV. Definitely not as comfortable as the one they have but if you really want to "gut it out" you should do it the Cyclone way which is old school style without all the bells and whistles. At least they'd have a nice stereo system to listen to :)
Go Cubs Go!
I enjoy RV TV week. Looks like a lot of fun even though the guys are working.

Golden Klutz Awards are funny, but not even in the same ball park. I also miss the balance between the two teams you find in Des Moines.
John's Big Ol' Fish was entertaining when I was 6.
GADS! There is a poll on the channel 13 website about the game and the hawks are winning. Quick! Vote!

The next stop is Carroll. Then I think they just head to Ames for the rest of the week, after that.

May 24, 2016
State troopers have identified a Bay County man whose car rolled over him and killed him Monday afternoon.
Witnesses say 47-year-old Charles Timothy Bazzell was working on his Chrysler Labaron in the Big-K K-mart parking lot on Panama City Beach.
The car apparently shifted into gear, ran over Bazzell, and pinned him underneath.
A number of K-mart customers saw the whole thing unfold.
They ran to Bazzell to help.
Five men tried to lift the car off of his body, eventually using a car jack to finally elevate it.
But his leg was lodged between the tired and the wheel well, making it impossible for the samaritans to free him.
"I was just in shock. I tried my hardest to get it off of him. Right as we lifted the car they said he was dead," says Michael Pelfrey.
Unfortunately their efforts didn't pay off, Bazzell died at the scene.

Beyoncé Knowles has posted a note on her official Tumblr page expressing gratitude towards Barack Obama and heralding him as an inspiration to her daughter, Blue Ivy, ahead of American election day.
Beyoncé and her rapper husband Jay-Z have long been supporters of President Barack Obama. She writes: "Everyday we see your heart and character, inspiring all of us to give more of ourselves. You are the leader to take us from where we are to where we need to be. Read the full letter below.
The letter echoes an epistle penned by Knowles for Michelle Obama earlier this year. In the missive, Beyoncé thanked the First Lady "for every single thing that you do for us. I am proud to have my daughter grow up in a world where she has people like you to look up to."
As the campaign rallies drew to a close, Jay-Z performed at an Obama rally in Columbus, Ohio and impressed all with his altered version of his famous song 99 Problems.
"If you're having world problems, I feel bad for you son, I got 99 problems but Mitt(Romney) ain't one," he said.

Microsoft is still mum on all things next-gen. The closest thing weve come to next-gen from Microsoft is Kinect and its basically an even more casual version of the Wii-mote. However, with all the talk about the next Xbox (dubbed Xbox 720 for now) and rumors flying off the handle about its potential release in either 2013 or 2014, it only makes sense to toss out a few names that might be a better replacement for the extreme-sports sounding Xbox 720.
This here list is just a toss-around of speculative names for Microsofts next-generation console. Nothing is in stone and anything is possible. In no particular order, here is the top five names for Microsofts next Xbox.
The Phantom sounds more like a concept car from Chrysler than an actual game console wait, it was a concept car from Chrysler. Nevertheless, its a nice little mysterious name for Microsofts next console. It clearly moves away from the skateboarder 360 or 720 or 1080 connotations and at the same time it has a sleek and sexy futuristic sound to it. It barely rolls off the tongue with ease Xbox Phantom still, there are worse names out there for a next-generation console. Sort of like going from The Revolution to the Wii. The Phantoms design seems like it would have a lot of eye-catching curves as opposed to contemporary lines, playing into that whole concept-car feel.
I debated on whether it should be the Trinity, Trinigy or the Trifecta, but Trinity just sounds the best out of the three and it is the third outing for the Xbox so that kind of fits. Plus, most people will think about The Matrix when they hear or see a name like Trinity. And lets face it, The Matrix is about as cool as nerds can get in the mainstream. It doesnt really roll off the tongue with ease but it sounds like it could be a console thats all black and sleek and kind of thin just like the Xbox 360 Slim just, not the Xbox 360 Slim. Maybe it could be a little thinner and a little sleeker. The name carries some elements of maturity with it, which might help it maintain an older audience. However, with a lot of gaming companies aimed at the casual market the "Xbox Trinity" doesn't really maintain a mainstream appeal the way other, more casual names do.
Whats more is that the name could be used to promote all sorts of new features for the Xbox brand, sort of the way Nintendo used Super in many of their franchises on the SNES or 64 for many of their games on the N64. Lancer edition this and Lancer edition that could work well for Microsofts next-gen console and its definitely my top pick out of the five.
Voting Time!
You can vote for the name you like the most out of the top five picks here or drop down to the comments and explain why you would go with another name for the next Xbox.

Hello I am new to the forum and new to biking. I recently bought a Schwinn Sidewinder, a cheapo wal-mart special but I didn't want to invest too much until I decide if I like the hobby.
Anyway, I bought a rack for the back of the bike to carry stuff on. It attaches to the seat stays and where the seat stays meet the chain stays. My bike has threaded holes in the frame to attach it and the screws that came with the rack will fit in the holes on the seat stay but are too small for the holes near the axle of the wheel.
I searched to manual that came with the bike as well as the schwinn website and can't find any info about what size the screws are so hopefully somebody will know what size I need or at least how to figure what size I need based on the hole.
Edit: I wasn't expecting anyone to know what size a screw hole is based on a picture. I am assuming there is some basic standard sizes someone could give me. I don't know what size the rack came with just that they are to small for the threaded hole in my bike. I'm guessing it is metric which I know nothing about. I tried a 1/4 inch screw and it was just barely too big.
Here is a link to the rack I bought
Here is a picture of the holes that the screws I have won't fit in (in case I am using incorrect terminology and am confusing people with my noobiness) This isn't my bike, just a picture of bike showing the location of the holes I need the screws for.
Thanks for any help.

I can't strum anymore
Hello guys!
I play acoustic guitar for more than 2 years now, mainly strumming (and a bit of fingerstyle), i was checking my technique and i found out that i was holding the pick wrong, i only hold the tip of the pick with my index and thumb like this:
( i should hold it where the pen mark in the pick)
and when i posted the way i hold it on a forum, most of the member there said that was bad and i'll not be able to play some techniques (playing single notes when strumming for ex) so i tried to correct it and i could'nt, i'm stuck and i can't strum anymore, the pick moves, i hit my index on the strings when i down strum, it's a complete mess. i practiced for months with no progress, i even forget the way i played before, i'm really desperate and i don't know what to do, i watched every video on youtube about holding the pick and every single one proved me wrong, but i can't correct it and i didn't pick the guitar for 2 months because of it (strumming was the only thing that i did).
So what can i do, i was really progressing but now i'm back to square one...
Any advice???
(sorry for my english)

Hold the pick however you feel most comfortable, there are no "rules".

This is somewhat true. If you can execute a technique in a way which doesn't inhibit your playing ability and doesn't physically strain you then by all means do it a little different.
For you however, it seems your particular technique is in fact affecting your ability to strum. For me I don't fully understand why, but that's the case regardless. I personally would not hold my pick like you and instead hold my pick closer to the tip because it gives me more control and I would never be able to play pinch harmonics like that.
I would compare your picking technique to this awful analogy:
It gives you control similar to when you're trying sweep with a broom.. The further your hand is from the tip of the broom, the less control you have. Move closer to the tip and you have a lot more control. Dunno about you but when i'm sweeping i don't keep my hands right on top of the broom away from the brush.
Alright that's my terrible analogy over.

Holding the pick so far back may be effecting your control when strumming. Usually, if you hold it where you drew the pen mark, gripping the pick tighter would allow you to strum/pick louder, and gripping loosely would allow you to play quieter. You might be sacrificing a bit if that control if you're holding it so far back. Or, you might have to grip a lot tighter to play louder. Also, it's a pretty subconscious thing, but when you pick individual notes, your index finger and thumb will probably slide much closer to that pen mark you drew? It's because you definitely get more control when playing, the closer you hold the pick to that triangular tip. I'd say try holding it closer to that pen mark you drew, so playing faster notes in the future will be easier. Now I think your index finger might be touching the strings when you down strum for one of two reasons. Firstly, you might be rotating your wrist back and forth too much, which may be something that you picked up when you were holding the pick so far back. It also could be that your index finger is poking out of the tip of the pick. For the latter, try holding our pick so that when you look at it from the top, the nail of your index finger meets in a straight line with the edge/pad of your thumb. Then relax your wrist, and try simple strumming patterns until you get used to it. I'm no pro in any way, but I had trouble holding my pick far too back like you when I first started. I corrected it by really slow practice using a metronome. haha the times I wished I had a teacher to correct all my bad habits.

The way you are holding it exactly the same way I do if I'm strumming on an acoustic. I only hold it at the pen line if I'm playing electric or soloing.
Also, like DrRus said, there are no 'rules'. I usually hold my pick down and angle my hand upwards, kinda like Paul Gilbert or Zakk Wylde.

I really appreciate your answers, my problem is that i hold the pick 2 different ways: when i'm picking individual notes like scales or finger exercices, i hold the pick the right way but when i strum i hold it like in the pic. i didn't notice it since i never strumed and played fills or riffs at the same time. i tried to play single notes with that grip and like everyone said i didn't have enough control but i strum perfectly and vice versa, if i hold the pick the correct way i can pick but i can't strum.
i tried every possible way, if i hold it loosly the pick falls if i hold it tight even slightly it sounds horrible...
about my index finger:
if i curl it more than that the pick moves to my knuckle like this:
and i do rotate my wrist or the pick will caught on the strings.
I don't know if i have abnormal fingers or something because i tried everything and nothing seems to work, i was really upset to the piont where i didn't play for 2 months. It's frustrating and i don't know what to do next, should i keep practicing and playing loudly until my strings break or my neighbor shoots me in the head?? i really don't know...

I want to practice the right way since i'm focusing only on acoustic, i really want to be able to play advanced stuff without finding out later that i practiced badly the whole time.

Well, it appears that if you hold your pick close to the tip when picking individual notes, and you can play cleanly, and it works for you, go do it! The way you're holding the pick right now is not necessarily "wrong" in any way. It's only wrong if it's highly uncomfortable for you, or if you can't play cleanly. Take a breath. It's not that big of a deal, as everyone holds their pick a bit differently.
And the reason your pick gets caught on the strings if you don't rotate your wrist, is because you're letting too much of the pick strum the strings, which is why if you hold the pick closer to the pointiest end, you don't have to rotate your wrist as much in order for your index finger not to touch the strings on a down strum. To sum it up, just hold it however you feel comfortable as long as it's not effecting your speed or accuracy. and also, most people change the grip on their pick slightly when changing from strumming to picking individual notes. It's normal.

Guess i'll start practicing fingerstyle to avoid waisting time and keep practicing the way i hold the pick and hopefully this will be fixed.
Thank you so much for your help

I'm very happy everyone took this so well. I was expecting people to get pious about technique. Most techniques concerning posture and hand positions etc feel uncomfortable at first for most people, but you sound like you've gone to great lengths to practice the "proper" way, so I too say go back to your old way.

Thank you but i'm really affraid to do so and then, when i try to play something advance i'll hit a roadblock. I really want to play like this (intro of the video) in the future, this is the only thing that make stress like this about the way i hold the pick.
I wasted 2 years hoding it the wrong way and i don't want to do it for another 2 and then regret it.

Zags Close 2012 Road Schedule In Southern California
SPOKANE, Wash. - The Gonzaga University men's tennis team will close the road side of its 2012 spring schedule in Southern California this weekend against two tough West Coast Conference foes. The Bulldogs will play at Loyola Marymount University Friday at 1:30 p.m. followed by a tough match at eighth-ranked Pepperdine University Saturday at 11 a.m.
HEAD COACH PETER MACDONALD'S THOUGHTS ABOUT THIS WEEKEND: "We have another tough weekend ahead, but the guys are up for the opportunity."
SCOUTING THE LIONS: Loyola Marymount University is coming off a 7-0 road loss to 55th-ranked UC Santa Barbara Wednesday. Alex Wilton and Felix van Kann got the only win for the Lions at No. 1 doubles. Wilton and van Kann have been one of the two top doubles teams for the Lions, carrying a 7-4 record together. Sebastian Bustamante and Nicholas Bjerke, who together checked in at No. 67 in the Intercollegiate Tennis Association's Top 90 doubles rankings, hold the team's best doubles record with an 8-4 mark. Bjerke is also leading the effort in singles for the Lions this spring season, carrying a 9-6 record.
SCOUTING THE WAVES: Eighth-ranked Pepperdine University is coming off a 6-1 West Coast Conference victory over the University of Portland Thursday to extend its win streak to 14 matches. Sebastian Fanselow, who checked in at No. 10 in the ITA Top 125 singles rankings Tuesday, is on a 12-match singles streak after defeating the Pilots Stefan Micov 6-0, 6-3 at the No. 1 slot. Pepperdine also has Mousheg Hovhannisyan ranked 80th in the country in singles with a 21-13 record and the team of Alex Llompart and Finn Tearney is ranked fourth in ITA doubles rankings with a 12-8 record, all played on court one.

ACCORDING to Taoist belief, every year of the Chinese 60-year calendar cycle is represented by a deity – a heavenly general who assists the Heavenly Jade Emperor to take charge of the mortal world for that year. These deities of the year carry the title of Tai Sui and each has a name. The Wood Horse Tai Sui is Zhang Ci.
It is believed that those whose zodiac signs clashed with the Tai Sui, will suffer ill luck. So they make a beeline to the temples to pray to the year's deity for help to tide over a rough year.
This year, the Horse and the Rat will clash with Tai Sui. The Ox and the Rabbit will also be affected, said feng shui expert Yap Boh Chu, who predicts that in this Jia Wu (Wood Horse) year, the free-spirited and swift-footed Horse will bring with it "fires of creativity and change".
Yap reckoned that those who are vigilant, careful and creative will enjoy success. For those unable to adapt or are too set in their ways, their fortune will take a turn for the worse.
Timing is all important. Yap said every action should be in accordance with the right timing and circumstances.
Zodiac signs which clash with Tai Sui can appease him by offering prayers at the temples. The ritual, sip Tai Sui (slipping a note to Tai Sui) is to implore the deity to overlook any slight against him.
Appeasing Tai Sui can be done at most Taoists temples within the first 15 days of the lunar new year.
In Kuala Lumpur, devotees flock to Sin Sze Si Ya Temple and Guan Di Temple, both at Jalan Tun H.S. Lee, Kuala Lumpur, to pray to Tai Sui.
In feng shui, Tai Sui refers to a specific compass direction affected by the planet Jupiter. In 2014, Yap said the direction of Tai Sui is South (compass bearing of 172.5° to 183.5°). Hence, one should avoid any disturbance or unnecessary activity in this location, for the whole year. Activities to avoid include renovations, moving of beds or any large furniture. Do not drill or hammer a nail into the wall (to avoid disturbing Tai Sui and court trouble or misfortune).
However, house owners with their main entrance in the South or facing South will enjoy a prosperous year.
Yap warned that Sui Poh or Year Breaker (compass direction in the opposite direction of Tai Sui; North at compass bearing of 353.5° to 7.5°) is more deadly than Tai Sui.
As most people are unable to be so exact in their measurements, it is safer to just refer to South for the direction of Tai Sui and North for Sui Poh.
This year, Sui Poh also coincides with San Sha (or 3 Killings) in the North.
According to Yap, San Sha is a direction that is of concern in feng shui. This direction shifts every year and this year, it is in the North.
So do not dig the ground, renovate, move heavy furniture, drill or hammer anything in the North of your property, as you may risk activating both Sui Poh and San Sha.
Every year, there will be two locations visited by the Disaster and Sickness stars. For 2014, the locations are in the North-West and East respectively.
Avoid any activity or disturbances in these two locations of your property.
"You may hear of advice to place certain objects in these two areas, but they are not really necessary. As long as you keep these two locations quiet, you will not encounter problems from these stars," Yap added.

Johnny Dorn was the last NU pitcher to earn All-American honors, selected as a third-team honoree by the NCBWA in 2008. Sinclair leads the Huskers with a 9-1 record while also posting a 2.29 ERA. Nebraska opens NCAA Tournament play tomorrow at 12:05 and Sinclair is scheduled to start NU's first tournament game since 2008. The No. 2 seed Huskers will play No. 3 seed Cal State Fullerton in the Stillwater Regional.
Creighton sophomores Matt Warren & Reagan Fowler received All-America honors from Collegiate Baseball/Louisville Slugger yesterday. Warren was named to the All-America Second Team, while Fowler claimed Third Team recognition. Warren posted a 10-1 record with a 2.03 ERA, and was also named to the All-BIG EAST First Team. Fowler, the BIG EAST Co-Player of the Year, led the Bluejays with a .362 average, 16 doubles, three triples and a .464 on-base percentage. Reagan also earned a BIG EAST All-Tournament selection, was an All-BIG EAST First Team selection and led Creighton with five game-winning RBI.
Wayne State College Director of Athletics Mike Powicki announced yesterday that Wildcat head baseball coach Brian Disch has resigned his position, effective June 30, to take a teaching job at Norfolk High School. Disch, who resides in Norfolk, has been a player, assistant coach and head coach with the Wildcat baseball program for 15 years while helping build a program that has had 17 straight winning seasons. In five years as a head coach, Disch compiled a 138-104 overall record while going 98-56 in the NSIC. This season, Wayne State was 27-24 overall and finished eighth in the NSIC with an 18-15 league mark. As a player, Disch was a standout with the Wildcat program from 1999-2004. He earned First Team All-NSIC honors as a senior in 2004, hitting .301 with 11 homers and 38 RBI's and was named Most Valuable Player of the 2004 NSIC Tournament after helping WSC win the tournament title. The Wayne State College Athletic Department will soon determine and announce the process for filling the vacant Head Baseball Coach position.
Mickey Doerr of Wayne State College has been voted to the Capital One Academic All-District VII Men's Track/Cross Country First Team.

Doerr, a senior sprinter from Bloomfield, carries a 4.00 grade point average majoring in history and science education. He is a two-time Academic All-American for the Wildcat men's track and field program, earning Third Team honors as a sophomore in 2012 and Second Team accolades as a junior last season. This season, Doerr was recognized as the Bob Cunningham Scholar Athlete of the Year at Wayne State College.

(The following information was submitted for a paid obituary.)
Martin Henry Lindig
May 28, 1929 - June 20, 2013
Martin Henry Lindig was born on May 28, 1929 to Emil and Ida Meckle Lindig at Hye, Texas. He died at home on June 20, 2013 at the age of 84 years.
He was baptized and confirmed at Trinity Lutheran Church, where he was a life member.
He attended the Junction School for the lower grades and graduated from Johnson City High School.
On July 25, 1948, Martin married Mavis Fuchs at the Methodist Church in Johnson City. They have five children, David and Elizabeth Lindig of Johnson City, Nicky and Trina Lindig of Mancos, CO, Dianne and Ken Becker of Temple, Chris and Karlette Lindig of Johnson City, and Laurie and R.D. Childers of Austin.
He is also survived by his grandchildren: Craig Lindig, Sherrie Lindig, Stacey and Ben Henson, Dustin and Ashley Lindig, Vanessa and Thano Drimalas, Austin Lindig, Martin and Leslie Lindig, and Kennedy Childers, and step-granddaughter Reagan and Lee Ward. He is also survived by three great-grandchildren and three step great-grandchildren.
He was preceded in death by his parents, brother, Clifton Lindig, and son-in-law, Larry Weirich.
Martin was a farmer and a turkey raiser. He always told his family that he didn't need to go to Vegas to gamble, he gambled every time he planted. He was recognized as a top turkey producer for many years.
Martin provided service to his community throughout his life. He was a Blanco County 4-H Leader for 20 years, served on the Blanco County Youth Council, served as a director for the Stonewall Farm Mutual Insurance Company, and served on the church council and Cemetery Committee at Trinity Lutheran Church.

Senator Durbin (D-IL) abandons Senator Burris (D-IL).
Abandons him quite comprehensively, in fact: WASHINGTON–Embattled Sen. Roland Burris (D-Ill.) is cancelling his Thursday schedule, where he was to have met with Rockford area civic, elected and religious leaders as Sen. Dick Durbin (D-Ill.) sent out a very frosty statement, saying Burris failed to disclose under oath the nature of his relationship with former Gov. Blagojevich.

Undated -- As the economy weakens, states and the federal government are trying to help more people qualify for food stamps.
Since Oct. 1, new federal rules make it easier for households with income from combat pay, retirement accounts or education savings to be eligible. The rules are part of the 2008 Farm Bill, which changed the name of the food stamp program to SNAP, Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program. "This is a nutrition program, not a welfare program," says Jean Daniel, spokeswoman for the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA), noting that half the 29 million Americans who receive aid are children. SNAP serves one of every five of the nation's kids, who are also eligible for free or reduced-price school meals. Some states are going further to expand eligibility. Last month, California enacted a bill that will allow low-income people to keep some savings and still qualify for food aid. At least four other states - Maryland, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Vermont - similarly eased the asset test this year. "People won't have to sink to ground zero to get help," says Paul Fraunholtz, a deputy director in Ohio's Department of Job and Family Services. The U.S. government pays for the benefit, and states cover half the cost of administering the program, which began in 1961. SNAP: Find out more about food aid eligibility
States are allowed to adjust eligibility rules, and more are doing so. As of Oct. 1, Washington state allowed people with slightly higher incomes, up to $42,400 for a family of four, to qualify. New York began giving energy aid to more low-income renters, because receiving such aid increases their monthly food stamp benefit. "States are looking for new ways to support working families," says Stacy Dean, director of food assistance policy at the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which studies policies that affect low- and moderate-income people. She says more states, faced with tight budgets, are making changes this year to increase federal food aid. Dean says the changes will increase participation but job layoffs will do far more to add people to the program. She says states and the USDA are encouraging eligible people to seek benefits. Currently, two-thirds of them do. "This is not your father's food stamp program," says Heidi Tringe, policy adviser to Vermont's Republican Gov. Jim Douglas. Recipients no longer get vouchers; they get debit cards. She says many people are worried about food and energy bills this winter, so expanding food aid is "the right thing to do."
YOUR TAKE: What do you think of the nations food stamp program?


text: Actually she never got too upset. She knows how serious I am about hunting and how much I enjoy it. I was really playing with fire though, Christmas family weekend and I got a baby on the way due in a couple weeks so it was a double wammy. Luckily everything played out, except for getting myself a big bull on the ground of course. We did however seal the deal for my cousin. I'll see if i could post some pics of his bull.

Video: News crews in Red Bud, Illinois
Video: Retired Red Bud couple claim their Mega Million jackpot
Video: Heidi Glaus reports from Red Bud, IL
Video: Merle and Patricia Butler of Red Bud, Illinois final winners
By Douglas Stanglin, USA TODAY
Red Bud, IL - A retired computer systems designer and his wife, a computer programmer, have claimed the final share of the March 3 $656 million Mega Millions lottery.
Merle, 65, and Pat Butler, 62, claimed their check for $218.6 million, before taxes, at the Red Bud Village Hall in the small southern Illinois town of Red Bud. The winning ticket was sold at a nearby Motomart in the town of 6,000 people.
Merle Butler, a retiree, says he was watching TV when he heard the result of the drawing. He checked each number, then told his wife, Pat, "We won."
"She kind of looked at me funny, and I said, 'no we won,' and she started giggling," he says. "She giggled for about 4 hours, I think" he says.
"We spent the rest of the night going down to our computer to check the news and see how many winners there were," he says.
Butler says the couple has a "real good set of financial advisors," and waited three weeks to step forward in order to get their plans in order first.
"We've been thinking of ways we can invest it," Butler says.
Merle and Pat Butler received a check for $218.6 million. That's before taxes -- 25% federal, 5% state.
It represents one-third of the big Mega Millions jackpot.
The winners of two other tickets -- one in Maryland and one in Kansas -- have already been paid, but the preferred to remain anonymous. Three Maryland public school employees, who dubbed themselves "The Three Amigos," shared one of three winning tickets for the March 3 drawing, but chose to remain anonymous, as did a winner in Kansas.
Lottery rules in Illinois, however, require the winner to be named -- and to appear at a one-time news conference -- to assure other players that prizes are indeed paid out.

Christmas Vacation Slow Cooker Giveaway990
It's almost vacation time! Well, that is, if you're a student. Christmas is nearly here and we know a lot of kids looking forward to a break from school.
But what to do with all that extra time? With no routine and lots of free time, those energetic kiddos might just start bouncing off the walls. That, or they may start pacing from room to room looking for something entertaining to do.
That's when we pull out our 6-Quart All-Clad slow cooker and the Fix-It and Forget-It Kids' Cookbook. The kids we know love helping out in the kitchen. And they're downright proud of themselves when they serve Lip-Smacking Lasagna or Crunchy Chicken to their family and friends.
So, to celebrate Christmas vacation and slow cooking with kids, we're giving away a 6-quart All-Clad slow cooker, plus Fix-It and Forget-It Kids' Cookbook to one (1) lucky, random winner.
One of our favorite features of the 6-Quart All-Clad Slow Cooker is the 3-setting programmable timer. We—or the kids—just set the timer to high or low (whatever the recipe calls for) and then program in the cooking time. When the timer beeps, the slow cooker automatically changes to the warm setting. This keeps food nice and hot without overcooking it, so we don't have to worry about the food burning because we—or the kids—went off to play outside and forgot about turning off the slow cooker.
Fix-It and Forget-It Kids' Cookbook offers 50 favorite kid-friendly recipes. Each recipe includes a full-color photo of the finished dish. Each recipe gives clear step-by-step instructions. Each recipe supplies a list of ingredients and a list of equipment needed to complete the prep.
Phyllis will autograph the book and even personalize it, if you wish.
(All-Clad doesn't know how much we love slow cooking with kids or that we're giving this slow cooker away.)
To enter our giveaway, just answer the following question in the comments section of this blog.
What do your kids—or any kids you know—like to make in the slow cooker?
So just scroll down to the very bottom of the page, type your answer into the comments section, and you're entered to win! (Or, just "hi." We like that too.)
Just one entry per person. (If you would like to respond to another entry, don't worry, duplicate comments will be weeded out so everyone has an equal chance to win.)
No entries after 11:59 p.m. (Pacific Time) Wednesday, December 14. We'll post the lucky, random winner here on Thursday (December 15). Check back here to see if you won!
(The winner will be chosen completely at random. Winning is not based on the quality of your response.)

Jan. 29, 2003
This story originally appeared in the Jan. 24 issue of the Times Picayune.
Reprinted by permission.
Sometimes, when the defensive pressure is just a little too intense, or that jump shot isn't as automatic as in practice, Muci Haris remembers how lucky she is.
Tulane's feisty shooting guard, in her first year with the Green Wave, began playing basketball in Hungary at age 9. Her father, Ferenc, was the national coach. The family moved to the tiny country of Luxembourg when Haris was 10 so Ferenc could coach the Luxembourg national team. He also coached his own rising star, teaching his daughter the fundamentals and the fun of basketball, before succumbing to cancer nearly seven years ago.
"I even remember a couple of the last games when he said he almost couldn't walk anymore, and he still came to my games," Haris said. "He was like, 'This might be the last game I can come and watch.' It was just really hard for me to play and know he was sitting up there. . . . I think I took the good things out of it. It was always his dream to come to the States. He never was able to. I think I live his dream right now. Sometimes, I tend to forget how lucky I am."
Haris, who has the second-highest scoring average on the team at 9.0, said she often thinks of her father, and her mother and twin sister still living in Luxembourg.
"I know how my mom and dad wish to be here, sitting there and cheering me on," said Haris, 24. "Sometimes it gets me. And I think that's when my best games come out, when I really think about it."
Haris has been a dazzling contributor for the Wave (12-4, 3-0 Conference USA) this season, her first after transferring from Arkansas-Little Rock. The 5-foot-7 junior has started every game, scoring in double figures in six of them. She's also a bundle of energy on defense, Coach Lisa Stockton said.
"She's an excellent defensive player," Stockton said. "Many times you have a pure shooter who's just that, but I think she's helped our defense tremendously."
With her quick-draw shooting release, Haris has 26 3-pointers to lead the team. Her 40.6 percent shooting from 3-point range is 12th best in C-USA.
One of her roommates is another long-range shooting threat, forward Britt Themann. The two became close friends on Haris' recruiting visit.
"Since Day One, it's been a total blast," Themann said. "Muci's the domestic person."
When Haris is not threading the needle with slick passes at Fogelman Arena -- she's third on the team with 36 assists -- she's threading needles at home. She sews, cross-stitches and latch-hooks. She makes 3-foot by 5-foot rugs, and drapes, too. Haris is Martha Stewart with a jumpshot.
"She always has these little projects," Themann said.
But right now, Haris is proud to put on the olive green and sky blue. She shows it on every dive for a loose ball and every fight through a pick. She should be proud; it was a heck of a journey to get to Willow Street.
After moving to Luxembourg, Haris was placed two grades lower because of the language barrier. While playing in high school, an American coach advised her to move to the United States.
"I was like 'Why would I?' " Haris asked. "He said, 'To go play basketball.' I said, 'I can play basketball here.' He said, 'They'll pay for your school, too.' I said 'Oh, really. Now we're talking!' "
Luxembourg schools go to grade 13. So when she left Luxembourg early, despite passing the American GED test, they said she couldn't go to an American college because she hadn't graduated from high school. She finished in Luxembourg and ultimately ended up in Little Rock, Ark., following a coach from Texas A&M, Tracy Stewart-Lange, who got the head coaching job there.
"I didn't really know a lot about schools," Haris said. "I didn't know the difference between conferences. For me, it was just a school and basketball."
The team had planned on having 10 players. But with numerous European players backing out, the team was depleted.
"We had six players," said Haris, who was named Sun Belt Conference Freshman of the Year. "Two more players kind of helped us out a couple of times. They were on the volleyball team. They just traveled with us so we'd have at least have eight people on the bench."
After two seasons, she started searching for a new home. She found New Orleans. Stockton, who hit the jackpot with transfer Teana McKiver, Tulane's top scorer, got another pull of the lever with Haris.
"That was a real fortunate thing for us," Stockton said. "That was kind of lagniappe for us. It was a really nice surprise. She's such a hard worker. She's so small (5 feet 7) and everything, but she's such a good athlete and very quick."
Or, as Themann put it: "As little as she is, she's big. She's definitely feisty."
