What Is Marshmallow Used for Today? | Dosage | Safety Issues | References
Althaea officinalis
The similarity in name between the herb marshmallow and the sweet treat is more than a coincidence, although the modern sugar puff ball no longer bears much relationship to the old-fashioned candy flavored with marshmallow herb.
Besides inspiring makers of campfire food, the marshmallow has also been used medicinally since ancient Greece. Hippocrates spoke of it as a treatment for bruises and blood loss, and subsequent Roman physicians recommended marshmallow for toothaches, insect bites, chilblains, and irritated skin. In medieval Europe, herbalists used marshmallow to soothe toothaches, coughs, sore throats, chapped skin, indigestion, and diarrhea.
Marshmallow contains contains large sugar molecules called mucilage, which are thought to exert a soothing effect on mucous membranes, and this is the basis of most proposed uses of the herb. However, only double-blind, placebo-controlled studies can prove a treatment effective, and no such studies of marshmallow have been reported at this time. (For information on why double-blind studies are so important, see Why Does This Database Rely on Double-blind Studies?)
On the basis of its supposed soothing properties, tea or lozenges containing marshmallow tea are often recommended for asthma, cough, colds, and sore throat. Marshmallow taken as tea or in capsules is sometimes recommended for Crohn's disease or ulcers, on the theory that mucilage might sooth the lining of the digestive tract. Finally, marshmallow ointment is sometimes recommended for irritated skin.
Marshmallow can be made into a soothing tea by steeping roots overnight in water and diluting to taste. This tea can be drunk as desired for symptomatic relief. Alternatively, you can take marshmallow in capsules (5 to 6 g daily) or in tincture according to label directions.
Marshmallow ointments can be applied directly to soothe inflamed or irritated skin.
Marshmallow is believed to be entirely safe. It is approved for use in foods, and its chemical makeup does not suggest any but benign effects.1 However, detailed safety studies have not been performed. One study suggests that marshmallow can slightly lower blood sugar levels.2 For this reason, people with diabetes should use caution when taking marshmallow. Safety in young children, pregnant or nursing women, or those with severe liver or kidney disease has not been established.

What can you learn from a juggler?
Hint: It has nothing to do with "dropping the ball"

UNconventional Wisdom is a periodic guest blog, where authors hold up the so-called conventional wisdom to a fresh perspective, apply common principles in new ways, or take a new look at a longstanding challenge. To propose a guest blog, email Steve Cocheo, executive editor & digital content manager.
Would you pay to see a juggling act?
Probably not unless it was the warm-up act for a Beyonce concert.
If you were a juggler instead of a banker, that would be a problem.
But you, as a banker, can learn some important lessons from jugglers.
Business with ups and downs
Juggling is not exactly a popular form of entertainment these days. Popular appeal probably peaked around the time of Richard the Lionheart.
Owen Morse and John Wee are well aware of this situation. Juggling's status has been dogging them for more than 25 years--how long they've been a team in an act called The Passing Zone.
"The Passing Zone," also known as Owen Morse and John Wee. Smile when you say "juggling" when they are around
The two are both "Master Jugglers" and if you've ever caught their act, their juggling skills are uncanny. They handle the usual things like balls and Indian clubs--those juggling pins that look like skinny bowling pins. But they also juggle bowling balls, machetes, chain saws (we didn't actually see that, but it's on their website), wooden blocks, and unsprung rat traps!
Despite their technical wizardry, which has earned them several Guinness records, the two men freely admit that to most people juggling is a yawner. Yet the act is highly successful. They've played the White House (last year), done a royal performance in England, been a finalist act in the inaugural season of NBC's "America's Got Talent" (losing a million dollars to an 11-year-old girl, as they point out on their website), and countless corporate events.
In February they opened the second day of Deluxe Corporation's Expo 2013 conference. Juggling in front of 300 bankers at 8:30 in the morning is not exactly an easy gig. But The Passing Zone was a hit and set up the day's events by incorporating several conference themes into their act.
In an interesting twist, the pair hung around all day and came back on stage to be interviewed at the end of the day as a coda to the program's focus on what banks need to do to get customers to buy more from them and buy more often.
Keeping your act fresh--on stage, in the bank
A Deluxe executive interviewed Morse and Wee, and asked how they overcame people's lukewarm attitude to juggling. Morse responded that people think they know what to expect from a couple of jugglers, "and it's our job to give them something different."
And they do. They have created a mix of rapid-fire comedy with difficult, unusual, and (perceived) dangerous feats of juggling.
"We have to constantly work to keep the act fresh," said Wee, always playing off the audience's reaction (or lack of it), and even to the inevitable "oops" moments when they drop something. (Fortunately they only dropped a club in attempting to set a new world record, during their act, not a machete!)
"We don't even like to use the word 'jugglers' to describe the act," Morse added. "It's not the most popular word--just like 'banking'."
That caused a ripple of comments from the audience.
Hearing that he said, "Really, banking is not the most popular profession right now."
It's interesting what you can learn from unexpected sources. Banking's unpopularity--in general--is hardly news to anyone in the industry, but there are several important points that come out of these innocuous-seeming comments.
• One is the importance of remembering your public.
Entertainers live and die by audience reaction, so they are particularly attuned to it. But in reality every business is an "act," and must please its audience or it will not survive. Staying fresh from a bank's point of view can involve many things--products, branch appearance, and always the attitude of the people working there.
• Another essential is to change directions from time to time as the nature of business dictates.
The Passing Zone, for example, shifted along the way from appearing primarily at entertainment venues to doing corporate events.
• One last essential: Practice, practice, practice.
And as the two performers also noted, their act requires constant practice to keep the timing sharp and to try out new stunts.
Can you be a better banker?
In business, of course, the practice comes every day in the doing versus a rehearsal.
But what if every employee could have the attitude of, "How can I do this task better, or my job, better?"
The results would easily be as impressive as two jugglers managing to keep their act fresh and prospering for more than 25 years.

Closing arguments in Bent trial delayed
Air conditioner at courthouse broken
FORT LAUDERDALE, Fla. – A broken air conditioner in the Broward County Courthouse means closing arguments in the trial over a teen being set on fire won't happen until Monday.
Closing arguments in the trial of Matthew Bent were supposed to happen Friday afternoon, but with the AC in the courtroom out, conditions were too unbearable to proceed.
Those who work at the courthouse received an email Friday morning saying that the chillers that control the courthouse's air conditioning system were down. The courthouse remained open Friday, but most judges were not hearing cases because of the heat.
"People were uncomfortable, agitated. It was hot and stuffy, and it was a mess," said one person who was in the building.
"The courtrooms were horrible, just like a desert," said another.
Judge Michael Robinson, who is presiding over Bent's trial, called it a day.
"The heat is unbearable, and to top it off, they've locked the restrooms because they've overflowed. Certainly, I'm not going to expose you all to this type of heat or conditions in this trial," Robinson sad.
With that, the jury headed home, but not before Robinson found some humor in the situation, referencing Thursday night's Miami Heat game, when the team beat the Oklahoma City Thunder.
"It's almost like somebody from Oklahoma City came and sabotaged our floor," Robinson said.
The courthouse is no stranger to problems. It has faced a toxic mold issue and a flood when a huge water pipe broke.
At least one of the air conditioning units was working by late Friday afternoon.
Robinson asked the jury and the attorneys in the Bent trial to return to court Monday morning.
Bent is charged with attempted second-degree murder in the attack on Michael Brewer, who was set on fire at a Deerfield Beach apartment complex in 2009.
Brewer testified Thursday about the attack, which left him with burns over 65 percent of his body.
Two other suspects, Jesus Mendez and Denver Jarvis, pleaded guilty and are already serving prison time in the case.
Bent is accused of masterminding the attack, but his attorneys dispute that claim.

Intensely passionate drama set to some of opera's most sweeping, soulful, and heart-stoppingly beautiful music — that is Eugene Onegin.
Tatiana is a lovesick country girl, and Onegin is the sophisticated young man who callously spurns her love before realizing, too late, what a mistake he's made.
Here is Pushkin's profoundly human, hopelessly romantic, ultimately devastating story, elevated by Tchaikovsky's richly layered and unabashedly expressive music. Find out why Eugene Onegin is beloved by opera audiences the world over.
Eugene Onegin (Yevgeny Onegin in transliteration) is an opera in three acts by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky to a Russian libretto by Konstantin Shilovsky and the composer, based on the novel of the same name by Aleksandr Pushkin.
Act 1
Scene 1: The garden of the Larin country estate
Madame Larina (mezzo-soprano) and the nurse (mezzo-soprano) are sitting outside: her two daughters, Tatyana (soprano) and younger sister Olga (contralto), can be heard from inside the house. A group of peasants sing a comic song about the serenading of a miller's daughter. Tatyana is reading a romantic novel but her mother tells her that real life is different. Visitors arrive: Olga's fiancйe Lensky (tenor), a young poet, and his friend Eugene Onegin (baritone), a world-weary St Petersburg 'drawing-room automaton' (Nabokov). Lensky introduces Onegin to the Larin family. Onegin is initially surprised that Lensky has chosen the extrovert Olga rather than her romantic elder sister. Tatyana for her part is immediately and strongly attracted to Onegin.
Scene 2: Tatyana's room
Tatyana confesses to her nurse that she is in love. Left alone she writes a letter to Onegin driven by the realization that she is fatally and irreversibly drawn to him (the celebrated 'Letter Scene'). When the old woman returns Tatyana asks her to arrange for the letter to be sent to Onegin.
Scene 3: Another part of the estate
Onegin arrives to see Tatyana and give her his answer to her letter. He explains, not unkindly, that he is not a man who loves easily and is unsuited to marriage. Tatyana is crushed and unable to reply.
Act 2
Scene 1: The ballroom of the Larin house
Tatyana's name-day party. Onegin is irritated with the country people who gossip about him and Tatyana, and with Lensky for persuading him to come. He decides to revenge himself by dancing and flirting with Olga. Lensky becomes extremely jealous. Olga is insensitive to her fiancй and apparently attracted to Onegin. There is a diversion, while a French neighbour called Monsieur Triquet (tenor) sings some couplets in honour of Tatyana, after which the quarrel becomes more intense. Lensky renounces his friendship with Onegin in front of all the guests, and challenges Onegin to a duel, which the latter is forced, with many misgivings, to accept.
Scene 2: On the banks of a wooded stream, early morning
Lensky is waiting for Onegin, and sings of his uncertain fate and his love for Olga. Onegin arrives. They are both reluctant to go ahead with the duel but lack the power to stop it. Onegin shoots Lensky dead.
Act 3
Scene 1: At a ball in the house of a rich nobleman in St Petersburg
Some years have passed. Onegin reflects on the emptiness of his life and his remorse over the death of Lensky. Prince Gremin (bass) enters with his wife, Tatyana now transformed into a grand, aristocratic beauty. Gremin sings of his great happiness with Tatyana, and introduces Onegin to her. Onegin is deeply impressed by Tatyana, and is fired by a desperate longing to regain her love.
Scene 2: Reception room in Prince Gremin's house
Tatyana has received a letter from Onegin. Onegin enters and begs for her love and her pity. Tatyana wonders why he is now attracted to her. Is it because of her social position? Onegin is adamant that his passion is real and absolute. Tatyana, moved to tears, reflects how near they once were to happiness but nevertheless asks him to leave. She admits she still loves him, but will remain faithful to her husband. Onegin implores her, but she finally leaves him alone in his despair.

Bread or Stockings?
A couple of weeks ago Jews throughout the world marked the tenth Yahrzeit (anniversary of death) of one of the great chassidic leaders of the past generation, Rabbi Yekutiel Yehuda Halberstam, the Klasenberger Rebbe.
Scores of legends have been related and written about this extraordinary sage, especially about his experiences in a concentration camp and the encouragement he provided for his fellow sufferers during the war and after their liberation. Assuming the role of surrogate father to surviving orphans, he consented to offer each of them, boys and girls, the parental blessing customarily given before Yom Kippur.
After blessing one such girl he gently urged her to wear stockings for the sake of feminine modesty. When she asked in return whether her severely limited funds should be used for buying bread or stockings, this warmhearted Torah giant quickly removed his own stockings and gave them to her.

Title 10: Energy
Subpart C—Standards for the Compromise of Claims
§1015.302 Bases for compromise.
(a) DOE may compromise a debt if the Government cannot collect the full amount because:
(1) The debtor is unable to pay the full amount in a reasonable time, as verified through credit reports or other financial information;
(2) The Government is unable to collect the debt in full within a reasonable time by enforced collection proceedings;
(3) The cost of collecting the debt does not justify the enforced collection of the full amount; or
(4) There is significant doubt concerning the Government's ability to prove its case in court.
(b) In determining the debtor's inability to pay, DOE should consider relevant factors such as the following:
(1) Age and health of the debtor;
(2) Present and potential income;
(3) Inheritance prospects;
(4) The possibility that assets have been concealed or improperly transferred by the debtor; and
(5) The availability of assets or income that may be realized by enforced collection proceedings.
(c) DOE will verify the debtor's claim of inability to pay by using a credit report and other financial information as provided in paragraph (g) of this section. DOE will consider the applicable exemptions available to the debtor under state and Federal law in determining the Government's ability to enforce collection. DOE may also consider uncertainty as to the price that collateral or other property will bring at a forced sale in determining the Government's ability to enforce collection. A compromise effected under this section should be for an amount that bears a reasonable relation to the amount that can be recovered by enforced collection procedures, with regard to the exemptions available to the debtor and the time that collection will take.
(d) If there is significant doubt concerning the Government's ability to prove its case in court for the full amount claimed, either because of the legal issues involved or because of a bona fide dispute as to the facts, then the amount accepted in compromise of such cases should fairly reflect the probabilities of successful prosecution to judgment, with due regard given to the availability of witnesses and other evidentiary support for the Government's claim. In determining the litigative risks involved, DOE will consider the probable amount of court costs and attorney fees pursuant to the Equal Access to Justice Act, 28 U.S.C. 2412, that may be imposed against the Government if it is unsuccessful in litigation.
(e) DOE may compromise a debt if the cost of collecting the debt does not justify the enforced collection of the full amount. The amount accepted in compromise in such cases may reflect an appropriate discount for the administrative and litigative costs of collection, with consideration given to the time it will take to effect collection. Collection costs may be a substantial factor in the settlement of small debts. In determining whether the cost of collecting justifies enforced collection of the full amount, DOE should consider whether continued collection of the debt, regardless of cost, is necessary to further an enforcement principle, such as the Government's willingness to pursue aggressively defaulting and uncooperative debtors.
(f) DOE generally will not accept compromises payable in installments. This is not an advantageous form of compromise in terms of time and administrative expense. If, however, payment of a compromise in installments is necessary, DOE will obtain a legally enforceable, written agreement providing that, in the event of default, the full original principal balance of the debt prior to compromise, less sums paid thereon, is reinstated. Whenever possible, DOE also will obtain security for repayment in the manner set forth in subpart B of this part.
(g) To assess the merits of a compromise offer based in whole or in part on the debtor's inability to pay the full amount of a debt within a reasonable time, DOE will, if feasible, obtain a current financial statement from the debtor, executed under penalty of perjury, showing the debtor's assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. DOE also may obtain credit reports or other financial information to assess compromise offers. DOE may use its own financial information form or may request suitable forms from the DOJ or the local United States Attorney's Office.

As a requisite of his adoption, Steve Jobs' parents had to promise that he would go to college. He did. For six months. And then he quit, trusting that he knew what he was doing was right, and that he'd survive by "following curiosity and intuition."
This 15-minute address shows Jobs weaving through his personal history, and how it leads to the first Macintosh, Apple and one of the most valuable, innovative companies in the world.
U.S. & World
News from around the country and around the globe
Of course, speculation around Jobs' resignation center on his apparent health concerns. That notwithstanding, there are some profound statements in his address that seem to indicate that his daily life decisions are directly influenced by his ability to go full-bore at whatever task has his focus:
"If today if were the last day of my life, would I want to do what I am about to do today?"
"Remember that I'll be dead soon is the most important tool I've ever encountered to help me make the big choices in my life."

The boys of Fall Out Boy are back! On Monday, Feb. 4, the band announced they will be hitting the road this spring to promote their sixth album, Save Rock and Roll. The disc, which drops in early May, will be Fall Out Boy's first studio album since 2008's Folie a Deux.
Its members — 33-year-old bassist Pete Wentz, 28-year-old vocalist Patrick Stump, 28-year-old guitarist Joe Trohman, and 32-year-old drummer Andy Hurley — also announced the release of the album's debut single, "My Songs Know What You Did in the Dark (Light Em Up)." The track is available for download on iTunes.
"When we were kids the only thing that got us through most days was music. It's why we started Fall Out Boy in the first place," the band explained via Tumblr. "This isn't a reunion because we never broke up. We needed to plug back in and make some music that matters to us."
Famous for hits like "Sugar, We're Goin Down," "This Ain't a Scene, It's an Arms Race" and "I Don't Care," Fall Out Boy is celebrating their regrouping with three intimate, one-night-only club performances in Chicago (Subterranean, Feb. 4), New York City (Webster Hall Studio, Feb. 5) and L.A. (The Roxy, Feb. 7).
The Save Rock and Roll tour kicks off May 14 in Milwaukee; tickets go on sale Feb. 8 and 9. The 33-city tour wraps up June 30 in Nashville. "We're back," Hurley tweeted Feb. 4. "Now chill out."
In 2010, both Wentz and Stump announced they were taking a break from Fall Out Boy to pursue other projects. In the years that followed, Wentz divorced wife Ashlee Simpson (the two share custody of son Bronx, 4) and began dating Meagan Camper. Stump, meanwhile, released a solo album and married his longtime girlfriend, Elisa Yao. Hurley played drums for the band Focused X Minds.

Fortuitous facade
Fu Lu Shu, aka the Three Star Gods, are symbols of good fortune dating back to the Ming Dynasty (1368-1644). Here, they adorn neither church nor temple but the Tianzi Hotel in Yanjiao, China, a splash of color in the otherwise drab city east of Beijing. The entrance is in the foot of the white-bearded god on the left.

Rooster- 8" x 10" - acrylic on bristol paper
Many years ago as I was just starting my freelance career, I had a client who frequently gave me black and white work to do. They were sort of a monthly local interest magazine without a big budget for either art or printing. It was fun working for them and I had a lot of flexibility because they didn't have a ton of money. I think I was paid $200 per spot, but it was work and I was glad to have it. I was digging around in the studio for a different painting when I stumbled upon this one. I have always wanted to see what it would look like done in color, so now that I have rediscovered it, I may just do that.

Dorothy Day—the disturbing "holy fool"
By guest blogger Kevin Considine
It is not easy to write about Dorothy Day. Gallons of ink have been spilled discussing her life and legacy. At this point, describing her as an inspirational Catholic woman has almost become trite. Hasn't enough already been written? What about other women, such as Dolores Huerta, Kateri Tekakwitha, Sor Juana de la Cruz, St. Katherine Drexel, and many others? That's not to mention the countless unsung heroines who work tirelessly to imitate Christ in their work and lives.
Nevertheless, I continue to find Dorothy Day an inspiring figure. This isn't because she makes me "feel good." And it's not because other Catholic women are undeserving of praise. It's because she disturbs me. Like no other, she rattles my soul as I supposedly profess discipleship to Jesus Christ. This is because Day literally gave up everything to become a "holy fool" for Jesus Christ—comfort, stability, wealth, and even her common-law husband. I have given up little.
As a "holy fool," she sacrificed her reputation. She was not seen as a "good" Catholic, so to speak. Day often was accused by some Catholics of subverting the church with her ongoing relationships with communists, anarchists, and other radicals. She dedicated herself entirely to the despised, the powerless, and the spat upon. I have been a social worker and now am teaching theology. But I have not dedicated every molecule of my being to following Christ. Nor have I sacrificed my name or reputation. I do not want to be a "holy fool."
Day's holy foolery also led her to espouse complete pacifism, including her protest against WWII. This isn't because she was naïve. She held that being a "fool for Christ" demanded such protests. She was convinced that even though the Nazis were evil, defeating them with violence would lead to even greater destruction. In this, Day wasn't incorrect. The atomic age and the prospect of global annihilation was a consequence of WWII. She also gave up being seen as a "good" American. After all, J. Edgar Hoover advised the U.S. Attorney General to prosecute Day on sedition charges on three separate occasions. I don't have the courage to set such an example.
Dorothy Day inspires me because she disturbs me. And this is how it should be. I suspect this is similar to how Jesus of Nazareth disturbed many of his contemporaries with his teachings and way of life. This is why it is still worth writing about Dorothy Day as an inspiring Catholic woman. Unlike almost any other Catholic figure, she continues to disturb comfortable Christians like myself with her radical politics, deep connection to God, love of the church, and her complete dedication to being a fool for Christ. She counted her life a blessing even when visible results were lacking from her work (which was often the case).
It may be easier to inspire through making someone "feel good." It may be more important, however, to inspire through disturbing the consciences of comfortable Christians.

There are some cities and town that can be mentioned and there's an immediate recognition. Ormond Beach Florida is not one of those places. It's one of Florida's best kept secrets.
Many people recognize places like St. Augustine, Tallahassee, Orlando, Tampa Bay, Miami or even Daytona. But mention other towns like Flagler, Palm Coast, Ponce Inlet or Ormond Beach and people will look at you puzzled.
Let me tell you about this well-kept secret!
Ormond Beach is a quaint city located just North of Daytona Beach. It's actually very popular with the Biker community because of its close proximity to Daytona. It's home to Destination Daytona also. Outside of Bike week, the town is very quiet and laid back. Many of the residents have lived there for an extended amount of time and it is a second home-place for Snow Birds.
Ormond Beach has had its share of celebrities as well. The city spreads from the main land across the Halifax River and over to the seaside in central Florida. On the seaside is where John D. Rockefeller chose his winter residence. He loved the area so much he purchased The Casements, a home built in 1913. This was no doubt one of his favorite places as he entertained friends such as Thomas Edison, Henry Ford, Harvey Firestone and many others. Rockefeller gardens at the bay are beautiful yet modest considering the man they represent.
You see, Ormond Beach was a proud Resort Town and remains so with a deep and rich history reaching back several centuries. The area was populated by Native Americans, developed by sugar cane farmers, ship builders, hotel operators and railroad tycoons. But from then till now, how did we get here? Ponce de Leon and his crew discovered this area in 1513 yet Spain and England bargained and traded with the land back and forth for some time before the United States took over. Florida was an organized territory in 1822 and a state in 1845.
John Andrew Bostrom was and still is considered Ormond's first settler. In 1869, he noticed there were a lot of visitors in the area yet they had nowhere to stay. He, his brother and 2 sisters opened their home to tourist. Sometime in the 1880's, word of their hospitality had travelled. Before they knew it, they had created a hospitality business.
Building on the "Resort" mentality, the Corbin Lock Company in New Britain, Conn., purchased land on the west side of the Halifax River. They purposed it to be used for employee retirement and vacation homes. A rush of settlers arrived from the Midwest soon after. In 1880, when the town was incorporated, the name was Ormond in honor of James Ormond II, whose 18th century plantation was north of town. "Beach" was added to the name in 1950. So there you have it. Ormond Beach was a Resort town.
In 1887, John Anderson and Joseph Price built a bridge to cross the Halifax River. They built the grand and luxurious Ormond Hotel next in 1888. In 1890, Henry Flagler (a railroad magnet) bought the hotel and expanded it. The Ormond Hotel hosted a special guest. Special because of his idea, J.F. Hathaway, suggested an automobile race on the tightly packed beaches of Ormond Beach. Known as the "Birthplace of Speed," Ormond Beach was the place of the first timed automobile race in 1903. Some of the early racer were noted as: Ransom E. Olds, Alexander Winton, William K. Vanderbilt II, Barney Oldfield, Henry Ford, Louis Chevrolet, Glenn Curtiss, and Sir Malcolm Campbell. These exciting races ended with the completion of the Daytona International Speedway in Daytona Beach in 1959.
What does Ormond Beach look like now? Here's a before & after photo.
The lovely beaches are peaceful and quiet.
If you are seeking the loud and rowdy atmosphere, you could always head south to Daytona 😉
Have you been to Ormond Beach? Leave me comments below and let me know.

I've spend quite a while working on these and getting them right, hope you guys enjoy the new additions, note you can now submit your super fast scores.
Added a new dot to dot numbers page to the site. One to nine numbers are featured so far and there are lots of dots to connect up on some of these and some have less to work out.

One of the latest addition is the Hedgehog Pages twelve images including printables and a selection of online pages. Spent quite a bit of time getting a good mix of simple and complicated pages into this section, but I think these new ones work really well, hope you guys like the new additions to the site.

The recruiting process was definitely strenuous and taxing for Havelock senior running back Taylor Woods.
HAVELOCK � The recruiting process was definitely strenuous and taxing for Havelock senior running back Taylor Woods.
Coming into the season, he held offers from Old Dominion, Elon, The Citadel and Kent State. He was still waiting to see what all other offers he could earn.
After a slow start to the year, Woods cranked it up and rushed for 1,001 yards and 14 touchdowns en route to a third straight 3A state football title.
Shortly afterward, new James Madison University head coach Everett Withers (former UNC head coach and Ohio State Co-Defensive Coordinator) offered Woods a scholarship and brought him up to Harrisonburg for a visit last weekend.
Thursday, Woods pulled the trigger and committed to the Dukes.
�Coach Withers is a really good coach, and my dad and I both thought that James Madison was the best situation for me,� Woods said. �My dad has been with me through it all, and not pushed me, but wanted what�s best for me. The campus at JMU is beautiful and the dorms are right next to the classrooms so the campus is easily accessible, so I like that.�
In addition to excelling on the field, Woods gets it done in the classroom at Havelock, carrying a 3.0 grade point average.
He said he is unsure of what he plans to major in at James Madison, but will probably go into something in the business field.
�They showed me they wanted me too,� Woods said. �I was the No. 1 running back on their board and I definitely expect to get some playing time next year as a true freshman.�
The Dukes are a part of the Colonial Athletic Association and begin next season with a road game at Maryland.
Friends and family of Woods will have a good chance of seeing him play on Oct. 25 when the Dukes travel to Charlotte.
He said he is excited about the direction that the football program is headed.
JMU is planning to add 15,000 seats to its stadium, increasing the capacity to 40,000 patrons from 25,000.
The Dukes are also in preliminary talks with the Mid-American Conference (MAC) about joining the league.
James Madison was 6-6 overall in 2013 and 3-5 in conference.
�I think we will do really well with Coach Withers in place,� Woods said. �From what I�ve heard everyone wasn�t really on the same page under the old staff, but Coach Withers has united everyone and brings a lot of good qualities to the school.�
After nothing but success in his four years at Havelock, Woods is ready to bring the same to the Dukes.

By Bishop Gerald F. Kicanas
One in a series
Friday, Oct. 19, 2012
VATICAN CITY — Bishop Shlemon Warduni, Chaldean auxiliary bishop of Baghdad, Iraq, reflected on today's reading at our morning prayer. I came to know Bishop Warduni when I visited Baghdad recently on behalf of the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. Bishop Warduni speaks with passion and lives with courage in a land torn by violence. I remember well his impassioned plea to me that the United States help in the recovery of a land that suffers from the ravages of war and has become racked by divisions.
Bishop Warduni in today's meditation called the synod to work together to awaken faith. He challenged us to be courageous in living our faith and announcing the Good News. He spoke not just with words but the witness of his life.
Today we heard reports from the small groups that met all day yesterday. Each group reporter had 10 minutes to summarize their group's deliberations, which are meant to help the synod fathers formulate propositions for presentation to the Holy Father. Among the points identified in these wide-ranging discussions are the following:
-There is a need to clarify the meaning of the new evangelization. Is it only reaching out to those active in the church seeking a deepening of their faith? Does it reflect concern for those who have not yet known the Lord? Is the new evangelization only for those countries long steeped in the faith? Wouldn't it be better to speak of renewal evangelization? There are three receivers of the new evangelization: those who are believers and want to deepen their relationship with Christ and his church, those who have grown distant from the church, and those who have not met Christ.
-There are many who know the faith but are not participating in the life of the church. They are at best Sunday observers.
-New evangelization seeks to bring Sunday Catholics to be disciples.
-New evangelization is a new gesture carried out by a humble church, a church that needs to ask forgiveness for ways the church has harmed people, a church that needs to seek forgiveness.
-What is new in evangelization? What is the novelty? It has been expressed as a call for new ardor, new methods, new expressions, preaching the Word in a new culture.
-We need to look at three moments in the process of conversion: that of proclamation, of catechesis, and of ongoing formation.
-Need to take into consideration the diverse circumstances of nations around the world as we strive to realize a new evangelization. Varied cultures require varied approaches.
-Aparecida was a significant moment for the church in the Americas emphasizing the Christian as a missionary disciple.
-Evangelization is not just a human work but Christ is the one who draws people to himself.
-Evangelization should lead to an encounter with Jesus Christ. We find our fullness in meeting Christ. There is a need to fall in love with Jesus Christ and his spouse the church. We need to contemplate the face of Christ.
-There is a need for more emphasis on the action of the Holy Spirit to guide and energize the church. We need to be led by the Holy Spirit.
-Sanctity is the goal of evangelization. It is a call to holiness.
-The way of beauty leads to God.
-The Word of God is critical to evangelization. The beauty of the Gospel needs to be highlighted. Make use of Lectio Divina.
-Awaken the true questions in people's hearts leading them to the Gospel. There is a desire for God in every creature.
-The need to dialogue with the world, science and politics. Engage a world that has a thirst for justice and meaning. The world is globalized and is short of hope with a crisis of uncertainty.
-We live in a world marked by secularization, but a great opportunity for the church to reach out to a world that has experienced progress in technology and science but needs to be introduced to mystery.
-Faith is the hope of the world.
-There is a need to awaken zeal and proclaim Christ with confidence.
-The parish is the first place where the Word can be announced. There is a need for parish renewal.
-Clarify the varied types of small faith communities in different parts of the world.
-There is a need to break down our large communities into small communities where people can meet with God.
-Every baptized person needs to be an agent of evangelization.
-The bishop and priests play a role in empowering the agents of the new evangelization and are agents themselves.
-Importance of the training of priests and seminarians especially in their liturgical role and in preaching the Word.
-The laity are most important for evangelization finding their proper role in the world. There is a need to animate them more.
-The possibility of having a stable office of catechist and admitting women to the ministry of reader, although some felt this would not be a good direction.
-The importance of ecumenical dialogue was emphasized. We need to work to overcome our divisions. There needs to be dialogue and announcement.
-Need to oppose the threats to religious liberty, our first freedom.
-Need to give attention and vigilance to the growth of Islam. It is possible to give Christian witness even in Islamic communities. Concern was expressed about the plight of Christians in predominantly Islamic societies.
-The importance of the Catechism of the Catholic Church needs emphasis. YouCat and the compendium can be very helpful in evangelization.
-Documents of Vatican II can be a great source of materials for evangelization.
-Importance of the creed to be known and memorized.
-The importance of the bishop as shepherd within and fisherman ad extra.
-The role of the pastor plays an important role in evangelization.
-The family is the primary place where the faith is transmitted.
-Importance of grandparents in transmitting the faith.
-Need to listen to the youth proclaiming the beauty of faith. Peer support is important in evangelizing the young.
-There is a need for a lifelong accompaniment with all as Jesus walked with his disciples. There needs to be lifelong catechesis.
-The new evangelization is not only a program but a commitment to live our faith more fully.
-Need to have Catholics pray for a new Pentecost.
-The importance of the sacrament of penance needs emphasis. All including bishops have to turn from sin and receive God's forgiveness.
-There is a need to attend to the specific needs of those with hearing disabilities and other disabilities.
-Need to draw upon the movements to foster a new evangelization but they must be connected to the bishop and the parish.
-Call to serve the poor is the best source to make credible the call for the new evangelization.
-Need to highlight what the church is doing in service of others all around the world.
-Need to refocus on the Sunday liturgy more, enhancing music, preaching, and calling people to participate regularly. Get the faithful more involved in the preparation of liturgies.
-Pilgrimages can lead people to a deepening of faith,
There was a great deal of congruence between the main points made by the various language groups. However the comments remain quite abstract and will need work to get to helpful proposals. This is now the important work of the small groups.
Today's sessions ended with the loudest and most prolonged applause from the synod floor yet, when a young man who catechizes young people in Italy, Tommasso Spinelli, addressed us as he said, "I want as a young layman to address the priests as the priests in this synod have addressed the laity." He urged priests to be proud of their priesthood, to know they matter. Young people look to them as those who can lead the young into a deeper relationship with Jesus Christ. Priests should be attentive to their celebration of the liturgy and not to be hesitant to challenge young people who want to grow in their relationship with Jesus Christ. Priests must be the guides.
The passion and sincerity of his words touched the hearts of the synod fathers. It gave a hint of how the young can be the source of the new evangelization. They can inspire and encourage their peers and even their elders, as Tommasso did with the bishops, on the importance and deepening of faith.
I have seen this in the Diocese of Tucson, where a youth program called Arco Iris (The Rainbow, which was begun in the Archdiocese of Hermosillo, Mexico) finds young people evangelizing their parents. After they attend a retreat, the young people's hold a retreat for their parents. They begin to wonder, "What is it that is happening to our son or daughter?" They become curious. They begin to ask questions and they begin to be involved in the church and to know more about the church. Clearly the young can play a critical role in the new evangelization.

Bishop Kicanas, of Tucson, Ariz., is chairman of the board of Catholic Relief Services and is a former vice president of the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops. Also a former chairman of the U.S. bishops' Communications Committee, he is blogging from the world Synod of Bishops this month by special arrangement with Catholic News Service. He was elected an alternate delegate to the synod by the U.S. bishops and became a full delegate when Cardinal Francis E. George was unable to attend.

Monday started with a rain storm so it was great to be able to get the group out on our patio. Vaughn is just 1 1/2 miles east of Eli's and the group took public transportation over for their tour.
Vaughn teacher, Marlene Winn, and Eli's Marc Schulman, with Eli's associate, Ivan Hernandez in the center. Ivan joined Eli's as an intern in his senior year and has become a valuable member of Eli's team.

Kim Kardashian West skipped an expected public appearance in New York City amid reports that her husband, Kanye West, was hospitalized.
This would have been Kardashian West's first public appearance since she was tied up and robbed at gunpoint last month in Paris.
It was to come at the Angel Ball, a charity event in New York honoring her late father, Robert Kardashian.
U.S. & World
Her mother, Kris Jenner, and sisters Khloe and Kourtney Kardashian were on hand at the event.
When asked how the Wests were doing, Jenner simply smiled and said, "They're good."
West had just pulled the plug on his Saint Pablo Tour after behavior that caused a stir on social media.
On Thursday, during a concert in San Jose, West said he didn't vote in the presidential election but would have cast a ballot for Donald Trump, praising the president-elect's "method of communication" as "very futuristic."
On Saturday in Sacramento, he ended his show after just four songs but not before a 10-minute tirade about Beyonce, Jay Z, Hillary Clinton, Mark Zuckerberg, the radio and MTV.
West then canceled his Sunday show in the Los Angeles area before scrapping the entire tour.

John Mueller Joins Cato
I am pleased to announce that John Mueller, a leading scholar in the fields of political science, international relations, and national security, has joined the Cato Institute as a senior fellow.
All of us at Cato are very excited to have John as a colleague. Over the last decade as a professor of political science and as the Woody Hayes Chair of National Security Studies at the Ohio State University's Mershon Center for International Security Studies, John has taken on the conventional wisdom in the national security arena with a rare combination of accessible, breezy prose and meticulous cost‐benefit analysis. In particular, he has focused on how policymakers inflate national security threats at home and abroad.
His newest book, Terror Money and Security, which he presented at a recent Cato forum, examines whether the gains in security over the past decade were worth the funds expended. For the vast majority of U.S. homeland security and counterterrorism policies, John and his co‐author, Mark Stewart, resoundingly conclude "no."
As a member of the Cato Institute, John will contribute to our multitude of programs and publications while furthering his work on the subjects of security, defense, and U.S. foreign policy. Cato is fortunate to have such a brilliant scholar join its staff.
For more Cato Institute work on foreign policy and national security, go here.

Water and Effluents
We will reduce our water footprint in all countries where we operate and at client sites.
Why Does Sodexo Engage?
Despite the fact that most of our planet is covered in water, less than 1 is available for people to drink and for agriculture. As an international company we are aware of the community and business impacts of water scarcity and the need to conserve potable water.
How Does Sodexo Engage?
Sodexo has defined an understanding and ability to measure Sodexo's water footprint (defined as the total amount of water used for the production or the consumption of goods and consumed services). In partnership with the WWF, we have identified "hot spots" where we need to focus our attention and define the actions to be taken. And we continue to train our employees on water-related issues.

Top Story: In northern New York state Krista Marie Goley is charged with manslaughter in the stabbing death of her boyfriend Timothy C. Rolland. While there is no evidence that Goley's religion had anything to do with the stabbing, it's brought up in a negative light by Watertown Daily Times reporter David Shampine and the victim's family.
"We had warned Tim to get out of that relationship," Mrs. Rolland said. "He told us she is bipolar, and she was a Wiccan. He was staring at the devil in the face." On Ms. Goley's MySpace page, she lists her religion as "Wiccan," and for an occupation, she lists, "US ARMY 88M/ Wiccan." The background of the MySpace page is covered with images of pentacles, a five-pointed star often used as a symbol of Wicca, which is a neopagan religion that utilizes witchcraft.
The question is why did the reporter think Goley's religion is pertinent in this case? There's been no sign that the murder was religiously motivated, or that it had ritualistic overtones. You could have just as easily listed the fact that she likes to play Pokemon or that she likes the "Resident Evil" movie. No Wiccan text of any sort I've ever read has advocated for murder, so the inclusion of Wicca (which "utilizes witchcraft") in this article just muddies the water for the purposes of some cheap sensationalism. One wonders if the Watertown Daily Times would have made of point of mentioning her faith if she was Catholic or a Lutheran. Reporting on a perpetrators religion should involve some pertinent reason for doing so, or else you're simply stirring the pot because you have nothing else to say.
Glenn Beck, Inclusivity, and Minority Religions: In the wake of Glenn Beck's religious rally many are trying to figure out what it all means (here are three Pagan reactions over at Pagan+Politics). Over at the Washtington Post's On Faith site, Hindu American Foundation co-founder Aseem Shukla blasts the "false inclusivity of supposedly ecumenical events" like Beck's rally.
"…a persistent insistence on Christian-only exceptionalism and a national Christian primacy is raising alarm bells for others. I have argued before that a religious litmus test most certainly exists in this country-and the litmus paper only reads two colors: Christian or the other. Indian Americans recently elected to national office, such as Bobby Jindal or Nikki Haley were forced to prove that they as converts, they were even more Christian than most Christians, and President Obama's Muslim heritage has been bandied about as a scarlet letter that somehow renders him suspect or unfit to govern. We have experienced before the false inclusivity of supposedly ecumenical events of the far right. There may have been a rabbi or imam at the Beck event, but the overall theme was very much "we are a Christian nation" drumbeat, and Hindus have experienced rejection before when they asked to participate in events such as the National Day of Prayer. This is the paradox of religion in the public square: it means very different things to different people."
Leaving aside the political implications of Beck's rally, the event was, in the words of conservative commentator Ross Douthat, "a long festival of affirmation for middle-class, white Christians." In addition, the prominent inclusion of figures like John "America has become a pagan society" Hagee and David Barton of Wallbuilders (who argues that Pagans don't deserve the same Constitutional protections as Christians) make it very clear who's actually welcome in Beck's quest to restore honor. So long as those who actively work to deny us our rights are under his big tent, I can't take seriously any argument that religious minorities are truly welcome.
Anti-Pagan Pastor in Porn Scandal: Australian Christian social crusader the Reverend Fred Nile, a member of the New South Wales Legislative Council, has been caught in an Internet porn-viewing scandal.
"The controversy began with the issuance of a report by the Department of Parliamentary Services, which had conducted an internet history audit of government computers that said Nile's office had accessed adult websites approximately 200,000 times. Coming on the heels of a similar revelation that resulted in the resignation of New South Wales Ports and Waterways Minister Paul McLeay, the news has sent shockwaves through the government. Thursday, in response to the growing scandal, Nile held a press conference during which he denied ever viewing pornography, but admitted that he had instructed his staff to research the issue for legislation that he said he was considering introducing."
Nile is taking a sort of "didn't inhale" defense, saying the sites were never actually viewed, just accessed (200,000 times) for research into legislation. Sex Party president Fiona Patten says that Nile just needs to "get over his guilt and shame" concerning viewing porn on the Internet. For those who don't live in Australia, Nile is sort of the equivalent to Pat Robertson there. He's taken many socially conservative stances, including opposing legal Pagan weddings.
Christian Democrat Party leader and anti-pagan campaigner Reverend Fred Nile said: "(Handfasting) can't be in any way acknowledged by the state and should not be listed as a genuine wedding. Our party will do what it can to stop pagan weddings and witchcraft or Wicca activities."
If this scandal means the political and social downfall of Nile, I'm sure there aren't too many Pagans down under who will be complaining about it.
The OTO Showing Pagan Pride in Utah: The Salt Lake Tribune does your typical "meet the Pagans" story with a couple twists. First, the piece profiles a local OTO/Thelemic group Ordo Gnostic Templar (I couldn't find a listing for them, but they could be a newer group) along with several colorful pictures, and secondly, it seems the paper used Patheos.com as an information resource.
"More than a million Americans now practice some form of Wicca, or traditional witchcraft, Ceremonial Magick, Hermeticism, Shamanism, Asatru (German/Nordic religion), African religion such as Voodoo and Shamanism, according to patheos.com, a multifaith website."
It's nice when a paper steps a bit outside of the Wiccan box to show how diverse modern Paganism truly is, and prints generally solid information. Now if only more such articles would follow suit. We'll soon be entering the Halloween/Samhain season, and that usually means a small flood of "meet the Pagans" articles, here's hoping this piece is a good harbinger of coverage to come.
The Order of Light for the Establishment of Global Fraternity: OpEdNews features the latest investigative installment from Georgianne Nienaber and Mac McKinney on post-earthquake Haiti, this one featuring a look at Vodou religion and the history of Vodou in the country.
At this point the discussion segued into the reality of Haitian Vodou until, rather suddenly and casually, Raymond revealed that he himself was a Vodou houngan, or priest, and that he belonged to a Haitian religious society called The Order of Light for the Establishment of Global Fraternity, actually an almost Masonic, even Theosophical title invoking one of the key words from the motto of the French Revolution of 1789: "Liberty, Equality, Fraternity", hardly what most people, prone to all the stereotyped caricatures of Voodoo in pop culture, would expect.
Raymond, acutely aware of the gross and fraudulent Hollywood image of Voodoo as nothing but zombies, black magic, curses and human sacrifices, went to considerable length expounding that this is indeed a absurd misrepresentation of real Vodou religion. He did point out, though, that there are two streams of Vodou as it is practiced in Haiti, what he calls the Vodou of the Peristyle, and the Vodou of the Temple.
I wasn't aware that Vodouisants split themselves into "peristyle" and "temple" varieties, could any of my Haitian Vodou-connected readers confirm this for me? Is such a distinction common? In any case, the essay makes for fascinating reading.
That's all I have for now. Stay tuned tomorrow for a Pagan community news round-up, and have a great day!

Hi again!
I just can't find a solution for my current problem.
Is there any solution i can break a running method which is supposed to return an int[] or whatever but !without! any return value.
I thought that might work with some exception but i didn't find a propper way. To be more specific i want something which tries to find out if a certain field of an object was set and if yes return it and if no returns a message which tells me that the input wasn't made so far.
something like:
public int[] returnArray(){ if(array_was_set==true) return the array; else show message that it wasnt set and quit the method without any return value; }
thanks in advance!

Aus 65 Designs von 15 Designern wurde eine Gewinner gewählt.
Postpartum Central
I am a licensed clinical psychologist in private practice in Washington, DC. While I work with a wide range of clients, one particular area of interest and specialty is working with women (and their partners) struggling with postpartum depression (PPD) (i.e. depression occurring within 12 months of childbirth) I have recently begun a blog called Postpartum Central whose purpose is to provide general information about PPD, treatment resources, and clinical/research updates. The site hopefully will become a useful resource not only for my clients but also for individuals outside of the DC area seeking knowledge and resources.
A) Primarily new moms and their partners and/or family members.
B) Other healthcare providers who are interested in learning more about PPD
I am seeking a logo that I can use for my website banner and marketing materials. Logo should include: an image NEXT to the words "Postpartum Central"
Logo should:
*Feature a person and baby somehow, or connote parenthood in some way. (e.g., parents holding baby's hand)
*Be racially and preferably gender neutral
*Preferably have a circular footprint
*Be simple with minimal detailing
Blue Color Preferred (HEX COLOR: 5d87a1) but open to other more subdued palates. See: http://www.hypergurl.com/colormatch.php
Style Preferences:
*I like simple and gestural drawings (examples: see logos of http://www.postpartumprogress.com & http://postpartumstress.blogspot.com
*Not too many details
http://99designs.com/logo-design/store/217: General idea is good; although, this one is a little too busy. I like the circular footprint and the neutrality of the image.
I like the FONT and COLOR (but the logo is a bit too simple): http://www.redpencildesign.ca/images/birth.jpg

Spot-on Williams blunts Blades
Defender Shaun Williams scored a last-minute penalty to give MK Dons a 1-0 victory and end Sheffield United's unbeaten start to the npower League One season.
Williams coolly stroked home his spot-kick after Angelo Balanta was fouled in the box by substitute Darryl Westlake.
The hosts controlled the first half and Dean Bowditch twice went close, while Balanta had a curling 25-yard shot well-saved by George Long.
United striker Nick Blackman had a 20-yard snap-shot saved by David Martin before Dons forward Bowditch had a strong penalty appeal turned down after he appeared to be tripped by Neill Collins.
The Dons continued to dominate after the break and Ryan Lowe missed a golden opportunity when he fired straight at Long from Luke Chadwick's perfect lay-off.
The visitors rarely threatened but it looked like they would hang on for a fifth successive clean sheet until Williams' late penalty settled matters.

text: In today's entertainment industry, the money isn't just in the movie; it's in the franchise. A year after the release of the third movie, Peter Jackson's Lord of the Rings trilogy reportedly reached more than $1.2 billion in sales of Middle-earth-related merchandise alone. With a number like that, it's not surprising that as The Hobbit: An Unexpected Journey packs theaters around the world, companies are scrambling to slap the furry-footed Shire dweller on everything they sell. The dubious examples of Hobbit-related promotional wizardry assembled here show just how much magical thinking sometimes goes through marketers' heads as they try to get their pieces of merchandising gold. Above: Hairy Hobbit Feet In-Flight Booties Peter Jackson shot The Hobbit, as he did the LOTR movies on location in his home country of New Zealand. The gorgeous natural scenery bumped up tourism to the islands, a trend Air New Zealand is hoping to capitalize on once again with an epic investment in Hobbit branding, such as these in-flight booties designed to resemble the famously hairy feet of the title character.

Bilbo would be very puffed at the notion of checking a bag. Photo: Air New ZealandElvish Flight Attendant The elves of Middle-earth are immortal. The elf-inspired look for Air New Zealand's flight attendants? Not so much. Photo: Air New ZealandAge of the Hobbits 'Mockbuster' Not a merchandising tie-in per se, since this straight-to-video knockoff didn't have permission to use the "hobbit" name. A federal judge issued a temporary restraining order last week ordering Global Asylum not to release the movie, which the studio appears to have hastily renamed. Note that the disclaimer on the cover — "they're not Tolkien's hobbits ... they're real" — failed to persuade the judge.
