THE fast feet and gutsy hearts of the Penrith Anglican College athletics team ensured the college won all nine relay events at the New Anglican Schools Sports Association Athletics Carnival earlier this month.
Triumphing in both the A and B divisions across both the male and female events in the junior and senior categories, also helped propel the college to first on the carnival's overall school leaderboard.
"We dominated every relay," PAC Junior School sports co-ordinator, Joe Rodgers, said. "There wasn't even one close finish — it was really convincing."
Certifying the college's authority over the track was their victory in the blue-ribbon event, the best of the best relay.
It unites each school's fastest nine,10, 11 and 12-year-olds and serves as the carnival's exhilarating finale.
Blitzing all nine relays isn't a first for the college — they executed the same dominance two years ago.
"We've definitely developed an athletics culture," Mr Rodgers said.
"This year the college has won all three major carnivals — swimming and cross country too — which is pretty amazing."
As coach of the college's relay teams, Mr Rodgers led their preparation and praised the students' discipline and determination throughout their training sessions.
Late withdrawals led to "a few setbacks" but Mr Rodgers said "always those things happen, but you push through".
One of the college's highlights from the individual events was defending NSW discus champion Angus Harrold, 11, who threw 42.77 metres and smashed the former NASSA record by 10 metres.
Having combined talent and sportsmanship to outshine all other NASSA schools, Mr Rodgers said the college was "really proud" of the efforts of its students.
"They represented their college with pride," he said.

Thomas Jefferson's Monticello is on the receiving end of a major donation amounting to $10 million.
The donation comes from philanthropist David M. Rubenstein, the co-CEO of The Carlyle Group. It was inspired by a recent trip Rubenstein took to the third president's home.
The donation will help restore the upper floors of the house. It will also help reconstruct Mulberry Row, Monticello's main plantation hub, and will fund the upgrade of electrical and climate-control systems.

I'm not racist. I'm nationalist. There are TONS of Argentinians here. They don't speak great English but they generally speak the language well enough to get by. There are TONS of Romanians here. Most of them don't speak perfect English but they generally speak the language fairly well. My problem isn't with Mexicans. They're actually the majority here. Their kids compose 51% of our school system. My problem is with Mexicans who refuse to assimilate even the tiniest bit. I get that they have their own culture but I think if they're going to live and work in this country they should at least try to learn some of the language and customs. I'm not saying they can't have their own culture, which is what they try to argue here. I'm saying that it's common courtesy that if you're going to be living and working in another country you should at least learn the language. I'll never go to Germany to live and work. Know why? 'Cause I don't speak German and everyone there would call me an asshole if I expected them to learn English just to convenience me. I'll never go to Israel to live and work. Know why? 'Cause I don't speak a word of Hebrew. I'll never live and work in France either. Know why? 'Cause they're a bunch of cheese eating surrender monkeys that pussy out over a little air space after America saved their asses twice. Plus, I don't speak Frog. I think that it's a completely douchebag move to go into ANY COUNTRY and absolutely refuse to so much as learn the language. Imagine I move to Quebec (Legally or illegally) and never bother to learn French. Then I get an American wife who doesn't speak French either. We live and work there for years barely able to with anyone. Then we have a kid. We don't speak any French so we teach the child to speak English. Then said child gets old enough to enter kindergarten and we send him off to a school who's primary language is French and expect them to just teach it to him. Of course the kids test scores are going to be low because it's all in French and English is the only language at home. Now imagine that happening on a MASSIVE SCALE. I don't hate Mexicans. I hate anyone that moves into this country and expects me to learn their language and culture to convenience them. That's bullshit. I'm sorry if that offends you but that's just how I think. I don't think it's fair that I've spent my whole life speaking English, which is a BEAUTIFUL language, and learning it's nuances and now I'm supposed to learn Spanish? Not going to happen. Not in this lifetime.
I'm not against learning a second language. I'm against being forced into it just because a shit ton of people decided their country sucked and moved here. If Mexico sucks so bad why the fuck are they so worried about it's customs and language? Also, they wipe their asses and throw the shitty toilet paper on the bathroom floor because they can't flush it down the toilet in Mexico. Guess what faggots? YOU'RE NOT IN FUCKING MEXICO ANYMORE!
Way to completely twist my post into something it wasn't. You're not the only one who's family came over to the Western Hemisphere from Europe not speaking English either. Mine came over here from Germany to escape persecution from a bunch of ignorant fucks who wanted to kill them and perform science experiments on their corpses. Maybe you've heard of them. They were called Nazis. When they got here they didn't speak a word of English but they worked their asses off and were at least able to communicate with the community around them. Not that it did much good seeing as how the area they moved to in Indiana was almost as racist as the place they had come from*. I have nothing against foreigners. America is a nation built on the backs of immigrants. My problem is with foreigners who make no attempt whatsoever to try and be part of the country they've moved to. There's a guy that works at the diner across the street from the store I work at and he comes in every day. He's Mexican and speaks poor English at best but he TRIES. I respect him for that and when he comes in he'll bring me new stuff now and again or point at something and ask "Como se dice en Ingles?" I don't expect everyone in the world the speak perfect English but I don't think it's an unfair expectation that if they move to a country who's predominate language is English for them to learn the language. Maybe not all of it, but at least enough where they can go into the gas station and say fifteen bucks on pump five instead of just handing over the money and pointing and repeating it over and over in their own language. I never said it was easy to assimilate. Once again though, it's not an unfair expectation to want them to try. I don't hate Mexicans or foreigners. My roommate, the one in the bedroom right next to mine, is Mexican. If I hated Mexicans that wouldn't happen. My problem is with people who would move into a country and not even TRY to learn the language. Granted English probably isn't the easiest second language to pick up but I think they should at least try. You probably don't see much of this in your part of the country but here, where Mexicans are the majority, there are a large number of them who absolutely refuse to even try to learn English. They just expect everyone else to learn Spanish and I don't think that's fair. I'm not the only one either. A lot of the people of Mexican descent who were born here refer to the Mexicans who come here and don't learn English as wetbacks and beaners. Are they xenophobic against their own people? Or is it more likely that they think it's a fair expectation for foreigners to at least attempt to learn the language? I'm not against immigration (I am against illegal immigration though. I don't care what country it is.) or people getting visas to live and work here. Hell, I think America should welcome more people from out of the country into our colleges. It's important to the diversity of our nation that our students be exposed to persons of from other nations. I am against people from any country coming here and not even trying to be part of it. I'm sure you're grand parents wanted to be part of their new country more than anything and had they been given a chance would have made every possible effort to assimilate and become proud citizens. You said they spoke poor English. Bully for them. That's a lot more than what the people I'm talking about are doing. I'm not talking about them though. I'm talking about the reconquistadors and the people who don't care to try to become Americans. Nobody is keeping these people from assimilating. They're choosing not to. We're not in the 1930's anymore. Most American's, including myself, aren't against immigrants or immigration. We just don't think we should have to completely abandon our own culture and customs to accommodate these new people. I want you to move to Italy to live and work. Don't speak any Italian. Don't learn any of their customs. Treat the people who have lived there their entire lives like idiots and get frustrated with them because they won't learn English to accommodate you. Then see what they think of you. They'll probably think you're an asshole. As they should, because if you aren't willing to at least try then you probably are. I never said all Mexicans are bad or anything of that nature. All I said was that there are a large number of them who refuse to assimilate either because they don't want to or because they want to make America an extension of Mexico. If you think that's just a paranoid delusion then you should do a little research. In Chicago on July 27, 1997, then Mexican President Ernesto Zedilla told LaRaza, "I have proudly affirmed that the Mexican nation extends beyond the territory enclosed by its borders." He announced a Mexican constitutional amendment that purports to allow Mexicans to retain their Mexican nationality even though they become U.S. citizens (which is contrary to the U.S. naturalization oath). In summation, I'm not against immigration. I'm against people coming to this country and not even attempting to assimilate. I know a lot of immigrants from many nations. For some reason this part of Colorado is popular with them. We have several nations of Africans. There's a FUCK TON of people from the several nations that used to make up the USSR. We have French and Portuguese and Mexican and Argentines and more. This little section of Colorado I live in is the perfect example of a melting pot and I'm happy about that. It is, and always has been, what has made this a great country. However, there are a lot of people that refuse to even try to assimilate and I don't think that's right. I think that it's only fair that if you move to any country, not just America, ANY COUNTRY, that you should at least attempt to learn the language that is predominate. That's not xenophobia. It's common sense.Also, the first post, the one about going to Canada. That was hyperbole. Apparently nobody was familiar with that kind of concept so it was entirely missed. Anyhow, I'm done with this thread. You can hate me and think I'm a moron if you want. The day I give a shit what anyone else thinks is the day I find a playground full of school children, scream at them "IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT!" and proceed to blow my brains out in the goriest manner possible. You've all missed the point of every post I've made in this thread so I'm not going to bother after this. Linear was right about context. It's not what you say, it's how you say it. Apparently none of you, including Linear was able to read the context of my posts. All you saw was "OMG DATS RAYSISTS! WTFOMGBBQ!?!?!" instead of actually reading the text that was there and seeing the point I was making. If you can't read a post and comprehend it's content and see it's meaning that doesn't make me the moron.*When I was in fifth grade one of my aunts came to live with us for a while. She was the daughter of my mother's father and his second wife who is Thai. She was with us for all of two weeks before she found a zebra on her locker. For those not in the know, a zebra is a racist term for someone who's races are mixed. That same night, in the corn field across the street from the duplex we were renting at the time, a cross was burned. There were signs of overt racism everywhere. I got to see it a little more firsthand in high school. I never really told anyone I was Jewish then because it was common to hear "Mrs. So and So is a total Jew." or "I kiked him down on the price." in the hallways. The word Jewish was used like the word gay is used today to describe anyone or anything bad.
Americans are hypersensitive and childishly fearful of some sort of SPANISH INVASION!@#
actually, his point was that it's racist of them damn "beaners" to market a product with that name to us whitefolk, so he's going to make "wetback salsa" to show them who's boss.
Made me wonder if MY product "Wetback Willies Refried Beans" would have the same chance of making it to the supermarket shelves?
Imagine I move to Quebec (Legally or illegally) and never bother to learn French. Then I get an American wife who doesn't speak French either. We live and work there for years barely able to with anyone. Then we have a kid. We don't speak any French so we teach the child to speak English. Then said child gets old enough to enter kindergarten and we send him off to a school who's primary language is French and expect them to just teach it to him. Of course the kids test scores are going to be low because it's all in French and English is the only language at home. Now imagine that happening on a MASSIVE SCALE.
In Virginia (where I live) you can't get an advanced diploma if you don't pass at least 2 foreign language classes in high school.
PS The thing about education requirements isn't related to immigration. There IS a minor movement in education circles to re-specialize education (why should engineers have to do 2 years of totally useless gen-eds just so they seem "well rounded" at cocktail parties?). But you do the movement a disservice if you go around saying that it's because of the mexicans. Get real.
Mine came over here from Germany to escape persecution from a bunch of ignorant fucks who wanted to kill them and perform science experiments on their corpses.
I'm talking about the reconquistadors and the people who don't care to try to become Americans.
---But on a more serious note: If you want to live in America and NOT speak English, that should be your right because America is a free nation. But in my opinion putting no effort whatsoever into learning the language of the country you live in makes you a prick. And if you want to be a prick, don't expect the rest of us to have to learn your language just so we know whether or not you want fries with that at the drive thru.

The Junior Leadership Board
The mission of the Junior Leadership Board (JLB) is to connect high school students with Children's through a variety of activities including volunteering, fundraising, learning about careers in the medical industry, and much more.
The Board serves as support to Children's Foundation Board of Trustees and is comprised of high school students from a variety of Dallas and Collin County schools. The Board term runs from August through May and meets eight times over the course of the school year, typically on Sunday afternoons from 4:00 p.m. – 5:30 p.m. Board members are expected to attend Board meetings, volunteer at special events for the hospital, help fundraise, and inspire others to become involved. Additionally, Board members will philanthropically benefit Children's by providing a personal contribution of at least twenty-five dollars at the start of their term and, collectively as a Board, raise funds for the hospital.
Children's provides many different opportunities for involvement throughout the year. In addition to opportunities to visit playrooms and participate in board meetings, members are also given the chance to help out at events such as Children's Red Balloon Run & Ride , the hospital's Holiday Tree Lighting Ceremony, and the annual Holiday Parade. Members receive community service hours for participating in JLB activities that can be applied toward their high school service requirements.
"We encourage the whole board to volunteer regularly," Michelle Gross, staff advisor for the JLB, said. "They don't have to, and we certainly understand their busy schedules, but they certainly can if they're willing and have the time."
About Us
The JLB was established in 2010 by Caroline Cooper, a teen who saw an opportunity for high school students to make a difference for Children's.
Cooper believed that her peers could not only help by volunteering at the hospital but also by fundraising for our not-for-profit medical center. She realized, too, that teens would benefit from learning about the inner-workings of the medical environment and fulfilling community service requirements.
So, she reached out to high school students from around the Dallas area and found a group of likeminded friends from several different schools. They set goals for the JLB to raise funds annually and for each member to volunteer at Children's at least five hours a month.
During the first year, the JLB created an annual holiday toy drive for patients at the hospital. Subsequent years have seen the group raise funds through sales of a Children's homecoming mum ribbon, change drives, and special events with guest speakers like Dallas Cowboys coach Jason Garrett.
Now in its fourth year, the JLB has raised over $25,000 for the hospital and has provided in-kind support and volunteer service hours that have benefitted thousands of patients.
How to Get Involved
Applications are now being accepted for the 2014-2015 Board term.

LA JOLLA — Sun-dripped Torrey Pines disappeared Friday as umbrellas outsold sunscreen, sand traps turned to koi ponds and temporary rivers replaced par-five fairways.
Locals in shorts and sandals ran around asking, "Dude, what is this wet stuff?"
San Diego officials immediately sanctioned the precipitation for violating several city sunny-day ordinances and warned the fines would be doubled on the weekend.
The second day of the Farmers "Flood" Insurance Open left everyone soaked except Tiger Woods, who didn't even bother wearing weather gear as he shifted golf-game gears from third to overdrive.
Woods dodged most of the droplets as he dominated the North Course with a seven-under-par 65 on his way to the top of the leaderboard.
Woods, who started the day three shots off the lead, hit 12 of 14 fairways and 13 greens. He avenged his only Friday bogey at his second-to-last hole with a birdie on the last to get to 11-under 133.
Woods owns a two-shot lead over upstart Billy Horschel, who shot three-under 69 on the South Course to leave him at nine-under 135.
Horschel, a 2009 University of Florida graduate, earned his first pairing with Woods, which knocks one item off his bucket list.
"It's going to be a good day no matter what," Horschel said.
Horschel thinks he'll be ready for the hoopla, having played 2007 Walker Cup matches in Northern Ireland against Rory Mcllroy.
"So I've dealt with crowds," Horschel said.
Horschel regained his card in 2013 after tying for fourth at the PGA Tour qualifying tournament. He missed the cut in his two previous trips to Torrey Pines.
Horschel is such a people person he says has to consciously pull himself away from conversations.
"I can talk your ear off for days and days," he said.
Someone, between now and Saturday's 9:40 a.m. tee time, will need to tell Horschel how little Woods likes to chitchat when he's in contention.
As Horschel conducted his post-round news conference, texts from family and friends were ringing a hole in his pocket.
Joining the final group is Casey Wittenberg, one of six players at eight-under 136 who sit three shots behind Woods.
First-day co-leader K.J. Choi stumbled to one-over 73 and is five shots behind Woods, while defending champion Brandt Snedeker followed his 65 with a three-over 75 on the South Course. Snedeker stands at 140, seven shots off the lead.
The weekend star, come rain or shine, will be Woods.
As caddies covered players with oversized umbrellas and handed out rain gloves like sticks of gum, Woods pretended it was 75 without a cloud in the sky.
"I don't like rain gear very much, and I'd much rather play in sweaters, if I can." Woods said. "Hey, you can only get wet once, right? Once you're wet, you're wet. Deal with it."
The soggy field now has to deal with Woods, who enters the weekend within striking distance of his eighth professional win at Torrey Pines. Woods has won this PGA event six times and also captured the 2008 U.S. Open held on these seaside grounds.
Woods owns the course record on the South Course, 62, and his 68.62 scoring average here is the lowest on tour since 1980.
He seems to have a decided home-field advantage at Torrey Pines, almost like the football Broncos in mile-high Denver.
There are certain places that fit Woods like an old pair of Nike sneakers.
"There are a few courses over the course of my career that I've really played well," Woods said. "This happens to be one of them."
He clicked off some of the others: Firestone, Augusta, Doral and Bay Hill.
Not all courses appeal to the eye of Woods, who has never won professionally at Riviera Country Club, one of the most respected courses on the tour.
Woods hasn't even played the Northern Trust Open since 2006 and hasn't committed for this year's event.
Woods seemed born, though, to play Torrey Pines. He plays better here than hometown product Phil Mickelson, who has won three professional times here but not since 2001.
Mickelson, with a later tee time, got the worst of Friday's weather. He trudged off the course looking as if he'd just walked through a carwash.
Mickelson followed his first-day 72 on the North Course with a one-under 70 on the South that left him dangling on a cut line that he ended up making on the number.
Mickelson wore gloves on both hands at one point to combat the rain but never seemed to have a grip.
His day ended bogey-bogey after he couldn't get up and down from the back bunker on No. 18.
"It's just a fraction off," Mickelson said of his game. "I just don't quite feel great."
Former major champions who missed the cut include Keegan Bradley, Ben Curtis, John Daly, Angel Cabrera and Stewart Cink.
Kyle Stanley, who blew a three-shot lead in the final round last year before losing a playoff to Snedeker, missed the cut after finishing at seven-over 151.
Mike Weir's weekend drought, though, is mercifully over. The veteran Canadian shot three-over 75 on Friday but made his first cut since the 2011 AT&T National. Weir is at three-under 141, eight shots behind Woods.

Salmon Skillet Recipe
4.5 2
Is there anything salmon can't do? It's high in omega-3 (a healthy fat that can increase your "good" cholesterol). And it goes well with so many different sides, including red potatoes, beans and spinach, that it's pretty as a picture when it's delivered to your dinner table. —Simple & Delicious Test Kitchen
- 1 pound small red potatoes, quartered
- 2 packages (6 ounces each) fresh baby spinach
- 1/2 cup King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour

- 2 teaspoons paprika
- 1/2 teaspoon pepper
- 4 salmon fillets (6 ounces each)
- 3 tablespoons butter, divided
- 1 medium onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 1 can (15 ounces) white kidney or cannellini beans, rinsed and drained
- 3/4 cup heavy whipping cream
- 1/2 teaspoon dried thyme
- Place potatoes in a Dutch oven and cover with water. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and cook for 10 minutes or until tender, adding spinach during the last 2 minutes of cooking.
- Meanwhile, combine the flour, 1 teaspoon garlic salt, paprika, and pepper in a shallow bowl. Coat salmon with flour mixture.
- Cook salmon in 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat for 3-5 minutes on each side or until fish flakes easily with a fork. Remove and keep warm.

Simple to put together and tastes good. Used only 1 pkg of spinach vs. 2 just due to personal preference. Wish I could find the nutritional info. but felt light despite the cream. Thanks for another good recipe

The Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod
The Lutheran Church—Missouri Synod began work in Guatemala in 1947. LCMS work focused on the areas of seminary education, evangelism and leadership training. In the past, long-term missionaries taught at Christian schools.
In 1976, LCMS World Relief and Human Care began supporting mercy work in Guatemala, with grants for housing, agricultural development and consultation, paramedic training and building/reconstructing mission properties. Most recently, a grant provided food and roofing materials for Guatemalans affected by a tornado.
Today, LCMS World Mission supports theological education in Guatemala to build up the future church leaders and provide ongoing equipping to its pastors and lay leaders.
The Lutheran Church of Guatemala is focused on training leaders, Bible translation and literacy work. Additional emphases include media broadcasting over six radio stations and one television station. Every month, more than 300 people respond to radio and television ministries and more than 300 are enrolled in Bible correspondence courses.
Other LCMS organizations that have worked in Guatemala include: Lutheran Hour Ministries, Children's Christian Concern Society and Central America Lutheran Mission Society.
The Lutheran Church of Guatemala is a sister/partner church of the LCMS.
Over the years, The Lutheran Church of Guatemala (LCG) has grown to a baptized membership of approximately 4,000 in 40 congregations and preaching stations and a national staff of 20 including pastors, evangelists, deacons and lay preachers.
