Homebrewing: How to Get Better At It
Tips and techniques to help you brew better beer at home.
To get better at their craft, artists need practice, critique, coaching, idols, and inspiration. Brewers are artists, too, and they need these same things in order to improve their beer. But it can be difficult as a brewer to find good coaches and willing critics.
We all remember the victims of our first few brews. They smiled and imbibed happily, excited just to be drinking homemade beer even though it was watery, or unbalanced, or possibly infected.
Coaches are even tougher to come by in the homebrewing world. There are formal brewing courses, but these are expensive and not offered everywhere. Commercial brewers are usually too busy and focused on protecting trade secrets to be very helpful.
Today I want to help you become a better brewer by introducing some ways to find critiques and coaching, as well as sources of inspiration.
This one is easy. Brew. Taste. Brew again.
Every year the American Homebrewers Association publishes recipes from National Homebrew Competition winners in Zymurgy magazine. The brewers of these beers make great idols.
Others include the biggest names in American homebrew: Charlie Papazian, Jamil Zainasheff, John Palmer, Gordon Strong, and Randy Mosher. In my mind, some of the best idols are homebrewers who have just turned pro and make good beer. For me, these include the brewers at Maine Beer Company in Portland, Maine and Lone Rider in Raleigh, North Carolina.
Closer to home, great idols can probably be found at your local homebrew club. Look for the beer about which everyone says, "I would buy a pint of this," and introduce yourself to the brewer.
There are three great ways to get critiques on your beer:
- Do a blind tasting of samples of your beers and commercial beers side by side with your friends. Expect to hear "I like this" or "I don't like this," and not much else, but remember that brewing beer that people like is the goal! So, this feedback is important.
- Bring your beer to a homebrew club meeting. Depending on the group, you may get very useful feedback, particularly because you can discuss the brewing process. But be on the lookout for false enthusiasm in support of the new face in the club.
- Enter your beer in a competition (or two). This will give you the most complete and unbiased feedback. Fair warning: it can be harsh. One limitation is that the judges can only guess at the brewing process based on the tasting, so their feedback may not be entirely fitting for your system.
I have already mentioned it twice. In fact, I feel a new homebrew mantra coming on. First: "sanitize, sanitize, sanitize." Then: "join your local homebrew club." The best place to look for coaches is your local homebrew club. Many clubs have brew-ins, where one club member will host the club at his or her house to demonstrate his or her setup and process, as well to share some beers. Even without this opportunity, you can develop friendships with fellow brewers at club meetings and pepper your idols and peers with questions about how they brew and how they would change the way you brew.
Where homebrew clubs leave off, the literature picks up. How-to articles abound in Zymurgy and Brew Your Own magazines, (as well as Serious Eats: Drinks, of course!). Homebrew books are another great resource. Some of my favorites include How to Brew by John Palmer, Brewing Better Beer by Gordon Strong, and Brewing Classic Styles by Palmer and Zainasheff.
Inspiration can come from anywhere: a favorite commercial beer, a nip of Scotch, a passage about beer in Shakespeare or Thomas Jefferson's writings. Travel in the well-known beer-loving countries, such as England, Belgium, and Germany—as well as those less well-known, like The Netherlands and Austria—can yield some great local finds.
The bottom line is to make what you are driven to make, and keep your eyes—and taste buds—open for inspiration.

Padraig Harrington has announced that he will front Failte Ireland's new marketing campaign free of charge.
The 38-year-old Dubliner said that he would act as Ireland's Golf Ambassador for the next 12 months as part of the $1.85 million project as a gift to Irish tourism.
"It's not a commercial transaction," said Harrington. "Basically my sponsors pay me enough that I can do something like this. I am really delighted that I can help out.
"It is not a huge burden on me in terms of time and it won't affect my ability to play golf. My sponsors are essentially covering this. They all look after me so well that I don't need to be taxing the Government at this time."
For three years until 2007 Harrington was the face of tourism in Ireland. His contract was said to have cost the taxpayer only $222,000. This contract was cancelled which turned out to be a huge mistake.
Bank of Ireland then became his sponsors at a cost of $927,000. Over the three years he was been associated with the bank they have made an incredible return on their investment.
Harrington became the first home winner of the Irish Open in 25 years and he won three majors in the space of 13 months. All of his great success was going on at a time when the numbers of golfing visitors to Ireland was falling dramatically.
Harrington's success has meant that he is now secured sponsorship of over $24 million with FTI and Wilson Golf allowing him to help out Irish tourism free of charge when it needs him most.
"We needed this focal point – something internationally recognizable for consumers and a rallying point for the Irish golf industry as well," said Keith McCormack, head of Golf Tourism at Fáilte Ireland.
"We have a new brand that is all about being warm, infectious and unassuming. Padraig is all of those things. It is the perfect match."
Golf promotion in Ireland has received over $6 million this year with over $1.8 million dedicated to international marketing. Further investment will go into events such as the 3 Irish Open, the Irish Seniors Open, the AIB Ladies Irish Open and the 2011 Solheim Cup.
Redmond O'Donoghue, chairman of Fáilte Ireland, admitted that not a great deal of focus had been placed on the promotion of golf in Ireland since the success of the 2006 Ryder Cup.
"The 2006 Ryder Cup was fantastic and maybe there was a small vacuum," O'Donoghue said. "After the Ryder Cup, a lot of things came to pass. We probably lost the run of ourselves in terms of pricing and then in comes the biggest recession of modern times."
The multimedia campaign now in place, "Time to Play", will use Harrington's image to promoted golf in Ireland. As part of the campaign Fáilte Ireland has established an online tee-time booking system, which will make planning golfing excursions easier for visitors.
Recently, Harrington has been suffering from a neck injury that has upset his perception and alignment. He claims that he is now fully recovered and next week he will tee off at the BMW PGA Championship at Wentworth for the first time since 2007.
"I am thrilled about where my game is. The weaker parts of my game over the last number of years I feel have improved immensely so it is a question of making sure the putting is as good as ever," Harrington said.

It's been two decades since Groundlings alum Jennifer Coolidge got her first big break in "The Masseuse" episode of the NBC series "Seinfeld," as Jerry's new masseuse girlfriend who refuses to give him a massage. In the subsequent 20 years, the statuesque, 51-year-old actress has created a memorable gallery of no-holds-barred, outrageously funny ladies.
Frat boys know her as Stifler's seductive mom who likes her scotch and men the same way — aged 18 years — in Paul and Chris Weitz's 1999 blockbuster "American Pie" and two of its sequels. Christopher Guest fans remember her fondly as the gold-digging, big-breasted dog owner in his 2000 comedy "Best in Show" and as the ultimate dumb blond producer in his 2006 film, "For Your Consideration." And she's providing a lot of laughs as Sophia, the Polish owner of a cleaning service who knows her way around a double entendre in the CBS comedy series "2 Broke Girls."
PHOTOS: Jennifer Coolidge: Career Highlights
Coolidge is also working her comedic magic in "Austenland," which opened Friday, as Elizabeth Charming, a wealthy woman who befriends Keri Russell's "Pride and Prejudice"-obsessed Jane at a British resort geared to women who want to live in Jane Austen's universe. With her dreadful Cockney accent and ample cleavage, Charming seems like she's just another ugly American who is thrilled she's going to "look great in those wench costumes." But she ends up being Jane's protector and great friend.
In a marked contrast to her characters, Coolidge was more reflective and subtly funny during a recent brunch at a Beverly Hills hotel. She even opened up about her insecurities: "I am always really surprised when I get a part and am glad when we get into the second or third week of filming, because I am, like, 'If they fire me now, they will have to redo all of this stuff.' "
Review: Keri Russell tries to boost 'Austenland'
I would love to go to stay on an estate and be swept away in the fantasy of Jane Austen.
Do you know how much of a fantasy that was of mine?
My parents were so weird about what we could watch on TV. The only stuff we could watch was "Masterpiece Theatre": "Tom Brown's School Days," "Upstairs, Downstairs." I would imitate scenes from "Upstairs, Downstairs." I was obsessed with those English accents. I don't know if I did that good of a job doing them. That's probably why I got this role! But it was a fantasy to be on one of those big estates and live in those costumes.
Where did you shoot "Austenland"?
We were in West Wycombe House on the Dashwood estate. The Dashwood family is still there. There are moats. It looks like a set, but it's real. I spent the whole movie trying to figure out how I could rent the place for myself and have a party or something there for everyone I knew who would fly to see a place like that.
PHOTOS: Hollywood backlot moments
I was surprised to learn that you actually began as a dramatic actress.
I went to Emerson College as a theater major. I tried to do the serious route for a very long time in New York. I did plays and I couldn't get anything to happen. I was a waitress for so long.
Then this weird thing happened. I was in this acting class with a very famous acting teacher, Julie Bovasso. She was always rewarding people — whomever sobbed the most [doing a scene] got the most praise. I was with this guy from my acting class after class and I did this [comedic] sobbing thing in front of him. He said, "You know, Jennifer, I want to take you somewhere on Saturday — just say yes. I think that's where you should be." He took me to an audition at the New York version of the Groundlings, Gotham City. I ended up getting in. It kind of changed my life. I moved out to L.A. to be in the Groundlings.
Who was in the Groundlings with you at the time?
Mike McDonald, Will Ferrell, Cheri Oteri, Chris Kattan and Ana Gasteyer. My life changed so drastically because of the casting directors who saw me at the Groundings. Christopher Guest was in the audience.
What was it like working with Guest and his repertory company on "Best in Show" and "For Your Consideration"?
Those films were life-changing. They are incredibly normal people, really decent people who are incredibly humble and don't have egos. They have all had killer careers but you would never know it. No one talks about their career.
You didn't get your break on "Seinfeld" until you were 32.
My mother was really worried about me my whole life. She really thought I might not end up doing so well. She ended up with pancreatic cancer. Right before she died, I went to church with her and that episode of "Seinfeld" had just come out. Everybody saw it and said something to my mother. She had this incredible relief. I think she was very excited that I had a little victory. It was such a big deal.

Does your child:
- Have impressive intellectual abilities but seem puzzled by ordinary interactions with other children?
- Have deep, all-absorbing interests or seemingly encyclopedic knowledge of certain subjects?
- Bring home mediocre report cards, or seem disengaged at school, despite his or her obvious intelligence?
If you answered "yes" to these questions, this book is for you. Author Katharine Beals uses the term "left-brain" to describe a type of child whose talents and inclinations lean heavily toward the logical, linear, analytical, and introverted side of the human psyche, as opposed to the "right brain," a term often associated with our emotional, holistic, intuitive, and extroverted side.
Drawing on her research and interviews with parents and children, Beals helps parents to discover if they are raising a left-brain child, and she offers practical strategies for nurturing and supporting this type of child at school and at home. Beals also advises parents in how best to advocate for their children in today's schools, which can be baffled by and unsupportive of left-brain learning styles.
"A brave, wise, and compassionate guide for parents and teachers of children who, because of their unique styles of thinking and learning, are so often misinterpreted and misunderstood." —Brad Sachs, PhD, author of The Good Enough Child and The Good Enough Teen
"This book brims with sound, practical advice for nurturing children who don't fit into the commonly accepted patterns of 'normal development,' yet possess remarkable gifts. A must-read for parents, educators, and mental health professionals." —Michael Gurian, author of Nurture the Nature and The Wonder of Boys
"Beals shows parents how to campaign for left-brain friendly education reform, advocate for their socially awkward children, and nurture innate gifts of logic and linear thinking in a society that often favors personal interaction over academic genius." —Exceptional Parent
"The most accurate insights into the current trends of educational thinking that I have come across. It is a wake-up call for parents of both left- and right-brained children and should be required reading for all students—and teachers—in our schools of education." —Barry Garelick, Nonpartisan Education Review
"Beals intelligently and sensitively raises all the right questions about how we need to accommodate square-peg kids and bring out the best in them." —Wellsphere.com

WWE is at a crossroads.
Sunday, the fans in Pittsburgh revolted and took over the show in response to yet another Randy Orton/John Cena WWE World Heavyweight Championship match, and then again when Daniel Bryan was not a participant in the Royal Rumble Match.
It continued Monday at Raw in Cleveland. Although the Daniel Bryan saga is clearly being turned into an angle, WWE fans are starting to voice their displeasure at the product and continually seeing the same thing show after show after show.
Bless both Alberto Del Rio and Kofi Kingston, but did WWE really think putting those two in the ring against each other for nearly 15 minutes was going to go well? The company has given fans exactly zero reason to care about either wrestler, then expect the crowd not to turn on the match and find other ways to amuse themselves?
Then Tuesday night, word came out that CM Punk has gone home. As in, he�s gone. Possibly even done. Although it�s too early to call exactly how the situation is going to play out, Punk, a supremely talented and popular wrestler, has been downplayed since WrestleMania 29.
Losing Punk is a damaging blow to the brand. It might not be felt right now because it�s WrestleMania season and everybody will be coming back, but once April 8 rolls around, the depth of the top of the roster will basically be down to John Cena, Randy Orton, Batista, Daniel Bryan and Sheamus. That�s it. And how many times already have we seen any combination of those five wrestle each other already? It�s not a pretty sight. Full-time, proven main event talent is at a tremendous premium right now in WWE. Although you can make a case that losing one person is not going to be a death blow for the company, and it really shouldn't be, the WWE�s ability to harness new main event talent in recent years has been, to put it nicely, suspect.
Roman Reigns is in the wings, but it�s not his time yet (same goes for Dean Ambrose and Seth Rollins). Big E Langston has loads of potential, but it�s far too early. Antonio Cesaro is more than good enough to hang, but seems stuck for who knows what reason. And we�ve all seen what they�ve done with Dolph Ziggler ever since his concussion last year. There are scores of talented wrestlers in Orlando, but no one who is going to help come April. There are so many great performers in the company, but WWE seems unwilling or unable to use them correctly.
CM Punk leaving is a big crisis for WWE if it doesn�t change the way it operates. Cena, Orton and Batista aren�t going to be around forever. When your main event scene basically revolves around five guys (three of which have a serious injury history), that�s not good.
This brings us back to Daniel Bryan. Here�s somebody that the fans have demanded WWE do something with, much like they�ve done with Eddie Guerrero in 2003 and Jeff Hardy in 2007-08. It�s incredibly frustrating to watch. The reaction to the Royal Rumble might�ve been a little too much, but the fans are passionate about this guy, and they�ve been jerked around so many times by WWE, they�re starting to get sick of it.
It�s clear the fans want new blood. If Orton/Batista for the title goes on last at WrestleMania, it�s going to be booed out of the building. Nobody wants to see that. Orton is as dull as they come as champion, and Batista has yet to click in his return (albeit it�s only been a week). To me, that�s part of the reason Bryan is catching on so big. He�s not the same cookie-cutter WWE superstar that�s been shoved down our throats the last 10 years. And if WWE hasn�t smelled the roses on this one, they might be beyond hope.
Make no mistake, WWE is in great shape. The stock is soaring, excitement is building for the WWE Network, things are rolling. But when it comes to the in-ring product, fans are no longer willing to settle for the same old, same old � and it�s starting to hit the breaking point.
As Owen Hart said, �Enough is enough and it�s time for a change.�
Raw in Cleveland
Raw took over Quicken Loans Arena in Cleveland on Monday and I was on scene, braving the near sub-zero temperatures on the shore of Lake Erie.
The arena was mostly filled, and loud and enthusiastic fans saw a good night of wrestling. Fans were chanting �YES!� before the show even began and let Triple H and Stephanie McMahon know their feelings before nearly blowing the roof off the place when Bryan came out.
As mentioned above, they did lose the crowd during much of the Del Rio/Kingston match, but the action was good enough to bring the crowd back in for the finish, so good for those two.
After Raw went off the air, Ambrose grabbed the microphone and was rather upset about the Wyatt Family interfering in The Shield�s match. He demanded the match restart, but he and Reigns were quickly thrown over the top rope by Cena and Sheamus and bailed up the ramp. Rollins was stomping Bryan in the corner and was gloating, but backed right into the good guys. He was surrounded now by Cena, Sheamus and Bryan.
Rollins did everything he could, from stealing their poses and mannerisms, to getting on his knees and begging, to kissing Bryan�s boots, everything. Unfortunately for him, he ate all three of their finishers. A fun cap to the show, definitely better than a dark match destined to end in a disqualification.
For Superstars, Summer Rae took on Natalya and Los Matadores took on Jinder Mahal and Drew McIntyre of 3MB.
WWE returns to Cleveland on June 16 for Raw.

Point Bonita Lighthouse Tour
The Point Bonita Lighthouse is one of the Bay Area's best kept secrets sitting pretty on a scenic overlook near Battery Wallace in the Marin Headlands. Every Saturday, Sunday and Monday, visitors can meet docents along the lighthouse trail for a guided tour of the beautiful and historic setting, used as a point to guide ships into the Golden Gate through the perilous waters of the Pacific. The half-mile trail goes through a tunnel and over a bridge to get to the lighthouse, and along the way, docents will share stories of what life was like manning this important station.
The tunnel to the lighthouse is only open from 12:30 p.m. to 3:30 p.m. on these three days, and you can take a self-guided tour during these hours as well.
The trail to Point Bonita Lighthouse is half a mile long, and the trail is steep in places.
Stay at HI Marin Headlands hostel! Be sure to book your stay directly on hiusa.org to support HI USA's mission to build a more tolerant world.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 3, 2014) – The ETSU Department of Intercollegiate Athletics announced last Friday that the university's students would receive free admission to Tuesday's Atlantic Sun Conference quarterfinal game with Lipscomb, and Monday the department released information regarding how that was made possible.
The tickets are being purchased thanks to the generosity of Mountain States Health Alliance.
While the A-Sun ticket pricing structure announced on Thursday calls for a $5 student ticket, ETSU Director of Intercollegiate Athletics Dr. Richard Sander said it was important for the department to show appreciation to the university's students by covering the cost of those tickets, and that MSHA was willing to help make that happen.
"We would not be here without the support of our student body," Sander said. "So in this situation, we want to provide the opportunity for any student at ETSU to be here on Tuesday night and support our program. It's rare to host a postseason tournament game, and to make it a successful event we need a fantastic home court advantage. Allowing our students to be here free of charge is simply the right thing to do, and we appreciate MSHA for making this possible."
Tuesday's game will tip at 7 p.m., and a win would send the Bucs to the semifinals of the league tournament.

Members of Britain's elite have been selected as priority cases to receive scarce pills and vaccinations at the taxpayers' expense if the country is hit by a deadly bird flu outbreak.
Workers at the BBC and prominent politicians — such as cabinet ministers — would be offered protection from the virus.
Ken Livingstone, the London mayor, has already spent £1m to make sure his personal office and employees have their own emergency supplies of 100,000 antiviral tablets.
If there is an avian flu pandemic in the coming months there would be enough drugs to protect less than 2% of the British population for a week.
The Department of Health has drawn up a priority list of those who would be first to receive lifesaving drugs. Top of the list are health workers followed by those in key public sector jobs.
Although senior government ministers would be among the high-priority cases, the department said this weekend that it had not decided whether to include opposition politicians.
BBC employees would be protected because the corporation is required to broadcast vital information during a national disaster.
Politicians and the media have been placed before sick patients, heavily pregnant women and elderly people by government planners.
Yesterday, leading BBC presenters were surprised to learn that they would be given preferential treatment. Jeff Randall, the BBC's business editor, said: "Are you really telling me that I am on a priority list for bird flu jabs? Marvellous. I always knew there would be an advantage from working at the BBC."
John Humphrys, presenter of BBC Radio 4's Today programme, said: "I think if I were offered the jab I would probably pass it on to someone 40 years younger than me."
Nick Clarke, presenter of BBC Radio 4's World at One, said: "I'm sure I wouldn't qualify. My programme has news and comment and the one thing you can do without in a pandemic is comment . . . They would want to have Huw Edwards and reassuring newsreaders on radio."
Fears that a "doomsday" virus may sweep the world have been heightened by the recent spread of the lethal strain of avian flu, H5N1. The death toll, estimated at 120, has been of people whose work brought them into close contact with infected birds. Scientists have warned that millions could die if H5N1 mutates.
The Department of Health would not currently be able to cope with such an onslaught. Although it has ordered 14.6m doses of Tamiflu, an antiviral drug thought to be effective against the H5N1 strain, only 900,000 doses are in stock so far. The full supply will not be delivered until March 2007, at a total cost of about £100m.
Besides the NHS and BBC, firemen, police and the armed forces are among those listed in the two top-priority groups to receive the vaccine.

31243, Hymns, Like Ten Thousand Legions Marching, no. 253
1. Like ten thousand legions marching
Moves a mighty band of youth,
Boldly taking to all people
Zion's glorious song of truth.
2. Out of ev'ry nation surging-
Sons of Joseph, Israel's band-
Now they spread salvation's message
In the tongues of ev'ry land.
3. Far across the mighty waters,
Reaching ev'ry waiting shore,
Seed of Abraham and Jacob
Like a mighty lion roar.
4. Come, ye nations, out of darkness;
'Tis the time of Christ's return.
Heed the Restoration's message;
Let its light within you burn.

Pope Says No to War; Church Opposition to Iraq Attack Mounts
In a private audience with one of the staunchest supporters of possible military action against Iraq, Pope John Paul II urged British Prime Minister Tony Blair to make every effort to avoid war and spare the world new divisions. The encounter at the Vatican on Feb. 22 was the most prominent in a week of meetings, speeches and peace initiatives by church leaders at the Vatican and around the world.
In a strongly worded public appeal a day after the meeting with Blair, the pope said a new war in Iraq could disturb the entire region of the Middle East and aggravate tensions around the world. He said all believers should reject the violence of terrorism and the logic of war, and he asked Catholics to pray and fast in a special way for peace on Ash Wednesday, March 5.
Blair, who with U.S. President George W. Bush has led the push for a military strike against Saddam Hussein's regime, has recently emphasized what he calls the moral argument for war. The pope and his aides have argued just as forcefully that they do not see conditions for a just war in Iraq.
Blair, an Anglican, arrived at the Vatican with his wife, Cherie, who is a Catholic, and three of their four children. He met alone with the pope for 30 minutes, then held a longer meeting with the Vatican secretary of state, Cardinal Angelo Sodano, and the Vatican's foreign minister, Archbishop Jean-Louis Tauran.
A Vatican statement after the meeting made it clear that the church leaders had not changed their thinking on the war. It said the pope had expressed to Blair the wish that every effort be made to spare the world new divisions in resolving the grave situation in Iraq and that the pope and his aides had emphasized the need for all sides to cooperate with the United Nations and utilize the resources offered by international law, in order to forestall the tragedy of a war that is still considered avoidable by many parties. It said, Special attention was given to the humanitarian situation of the Iraqi people, who have already suffered greatly during the long years of the embargo.
It was Blair's first meeting with Pope John Paul, and the day before the papal audience he said he recognized that the two held different perspectives on the war. I obviously know the views of the pope very well, and they are very clear. Let me just make one thing also plain. We do not want war. No one wants war.... But there is a moral dimension to this question, too. If we fail to disarm Saddam peacefully, then where does that leave the authority of the United Nations? And if we leave Saddam in charge of Iraq, with his weapons of mass destruction, where does that leave the Iraqi people, who are the principal victims of Saddam?
As Blair visited Rome, Catholic and Anglican leaders in Britain said the prime minister had not made a convincing case for war. In a statement on Feb. 20, Cardinal Cormac Murphy-O'Connor of Westminster and Anglican Archbishop Rowan Williams of Canterbury said working though the United Nations and U.N. weapons inspections in Iraq could and should render the trauma and tragedy of war unnecessary.
More than one million antiwar protesters marched in London on Feb. 15 in a demonstration that was backed by Bishop Patrick O'Donoghue of Lancaster. My Christian conscience is troubled by the fact that hundreds of thousands of Iraqis will die as a result of a war. The World Health Organization estimates that there could be 100,000 casualties, and another 400,000 affected by internal displacement and disease, Bishop O'Donoghue said.
At the Vatican, the pope and his aides met on Feb. 18 with U.N. Secretary-General Kofi Annan to discuss the Iraqi crisis. Afterward, the Vatican held out hope for just and effective solutions that would spare Iraqi civilians further suffering. It said the crisis should be resolved through the United Nations, which it described as the guarantor of international law. Annan met with the pope for about half an hour and separately with Cardinal Sodano and Cardinal Roger Etchegaray, a retired French prelate who had just returned from a special Vatican mission to deliver a personal papal message to Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
Cardinal Sodano, speaking later to reporters, said war with Iraq was not inevitable and expressed support for a resolution adopted on Feb. 17 by the European Union calling for the disarmament of Iraq through peaceful means.
The pope, speaking on Feb. 20 to religious leaders from Indonesia, a country with a Muslim majority, warned that a war on Iraq could damage international interreligious relations. War is not only a defeat for humanity, but a tragedy for religion, he said. Although a real risk of war looms on the horizon, he acknowledged, neither the threat of war nor war itself should be allowed to alienate Christians, Muslims, Buddhists, Hindus and members of other religions.
Archbishop Jean-Louis Tauran, the Vatican's equivalent of foreign minister, said a U.S. attack on Iraq without U.N. authorization would be a crime against peace and a violation of international law. The comments, made on Feb. 24, represent the sharpest criticism to date of the U.S. threat to act alone, if necessary, to disarm the regime of Iraqi President Saddam Hussein.
Archbishop Tauran said any military action against Iraq adopted without U.N. authority would be a war outside of international law. He cited an article of the U.N. charter that prohibits countries from waging war to resolve differences. No rule of international law authorizes one or more states to intervene unilaterally against another country, he said.
The archbishop said that while international law accepts the right of a country to defend itself, that right presumes a previous act of aggression against the country. At the same time, he said, it was also necessary for Iraqi leaders to regulate their behavior according to the code of conduct imposed upon them as a member of international society.
The U.S. ambassador to the Vatican, Jim Nicholson, rejected criticism of U.S. unilateralism on Iraq, saying the United Nations has already provided for the possibility of armed intervention if Iraq refuses to disarm.
At the United Nations, the Vatican representative again laid out the church's main arguments against a military attack on Iraq. Archbishop Celestino Migliore told the Security Council on Feb. 19 that with the wealth of peaceful tools available for resolving international disputes, it would not be just to resort to force to solve the Iraqi crisis.
He cited the grave consequences for Iraq's civilian population, the dark prospects of tensions and conflicts between peoples and cultures and the reintroduction of war as a way to resolve international problems. Although the route of U.N. weapons inspections appeared somewhat slow, it remained an effective way to resolve the crisis and provide the basis for a lasting peace, he said.
Vatican Moves to Ease Removal of Abusive Priests
An official of the Vatican Congregation for the Doctrine of the Faith said on Feb. 26 that Pope John Paul II has given the congregation the power in some very clear, grave cases to laicize priests who have sexually abused minors without going through an ecclesiastical trial. Before this, only the pope himself had that power.
The official said the pope has also empowered the congregation to make case-by-case exceptions to church rules requiring that only priests with doctorates in canon law may serve as judges in criminal trials of priests accused of abusing minors. That would mean that deacons, religious or lay people trained in church law could also serve as judges, as well as some others who may not yet have earned a doctorate in church law.
Msgr. Charles J. Scicluna, promoter of justice at the doctrinal congregation, spoke with Catholic News Service and The Associated Press in a teleconference call, arranged at the request of the news agencies, during a two-week visit to the United States. He was in Washington to lead workshops to train some 210 church lawyers and judges from across the country to handle criminal church trials of clergy charged with sexually abusing minors.
Bishop Thomas G. Doran of Rockford, Ill., chairman of the U.S. bishops' Committee on Canonical Affairs, said the bishops are working on plans whereby they might use the workshop participants as a pool of personnel available to bishops who need to form tribunals to try a cleric accused of sexual abuse of a minora crime in church law for which the penalty may be laicization or dismissal from the clerical state.
It might be advisable to devise a system that would let the bishop of the diocese of the accused priest form a panel of judges from other dioceses to conduct the priest's trial, he said. "We think that might make the process more open and more fair. ... What were trying to do is to provide for our people a little more openness and a little more patent impartiality in the judgment of these cases."
Msgr. Scicluna--whose job title is roughly equivalent to "prosecutor" in the U.S. criminal court system--said the doctrinal congregations new ability to dismiss a sexually abusive priest by decree, without a full trial, would govern only certain clear cases such as those in which "a person has been convicted in a civil court and there is ample proof of his imputability, of his criminal liability, or the person has confessed to what has been alleged." Even in those cases, he said, the accused will have a right to review the case drawn up against him and offer a defense or response. "The accused would always be heard, and that is fundamental," he said.
News Briefs
The Archdiocese of Boston and lawyers representing about 400 alleged victims of sexual abuse by clergy jointly asked a judge on Feb. 20 to put a 90-day hold on all those cases to see if they can reach a mediated settlement.
Kathleen L. McChesney, director of the U.S. bishops' Office for Child and Youth Protection, said during an appearance in New York on Feb. 20 that she thought bishops should allow Voice of the Faithful to meet in the churches of their dioceses.
The Survivors Network of Those Abused by Priests says its membership has grown 50 percent in the past year, from 3,000 to more than 4,500.
The U.S. Supreme Court ruled on Feb. 26 that a federal racketeering law did not apply to abortion clinic protesters. In an 8-to-1 ruling, the court said protesters cannot be prosecuted under the anti-racketeering law if the effect of their protest is only to impede an abortion clinic's business.
Hamid A. Al-Rifaie, president of the International Islamic Forum for Dialogue, and Archbishop Michael Fitzgerald, president of the Pontifical Council for Interreligious Dialogue, sent letters in mid-February to U.S. President George W. Bush, British Prime Minister Tony Blair and Iraqi President Saddam Hussein to avoid war.
Father Maloney asks "that the Catholic lay person of the 21st century should be capable of cooperating with other members of the church." For that to happen, other members of the church, including bishops, would also have to be willing to cooperate with the laity. It was coincidental that in that same issue of America (Signs of the Times) Kathleen L. McChesney, director of the U.S. bishops' Office for Child and Youth Protection was quoted as saying she thought "bishops should allow Voice of the Faithful to meet in the churches of their dioceses."
How can it be possible for the laity of the 21st century to become like Priscilla and Aquila if most bishops refuse to relinquish their power and authority on such a minor issue as allowing the laity to use our facilities for meetings? Do you think that Paul would have refused Priscilla and Aquila from using the facilities of the early church?

The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency has published the latest data on industrial releases and transfers of toxic chemicals in the United States between Jan. 1 and Dec. 31, 2009. EPA is making the Toxics Release Inventory (TRI) data available within weeks of the reporting deadline through its website and in TRI Explorer and Envirofacts.
The database contains environmental release and transfer data on nearly 650 chemicals and chemical categories reported to EPA by more than 21,000 industrial and other facilities.
The preliminary dataset allows communities to find out about releases and transfers of chemicals at the local level. Examples of industries that report to TRI include manufacturing, metal mining, electric utilities, and commercial hazardous waste treatment facilities among others. Facilities must report their data by July 1 of each year.
The preliminary dataset includes more than 80 percent of the data expected to be reported for 2009. EPA will continue to process paper submissions, late submissions, and to resolve issues with the electronic submissions.
The agency will update the dataset in August and again in September so citizens will have complete access to the information. EPA encourages the public to review and analyze the data while EPA conducts its own analysis, which will be published later this year.

In May 2005 the Salt Lake City ABC 4 News team decided to test a remarkable health and wellness program by Isagenix.These products are a part of an effective, healthy obesity buster program!
The program, called the Isagenix Cleansing and Fat Burning System, had been providing people with incredible results—specifically with
weight loss.*
Isagenix®, based in Chandler, Ariz., believes in cleansing
the body internally with a natural aloe botanical drink. By
doing so regularly—in conjunction with Isagenix IsaLean®
Shakes and eating a balanced diet—the company says
you'll not only lose weight, but you'll also be on the road to
becoming healthy, clean, and lean.**
Reports from many Isagenix Independent Associates and customers claim the Cleansing and Fat Burning System has helped them lose
substantial weight... and inches.*
152 Pounds Lost*
One of those customers is Kim Olson, who previously
weighed nearly 300 pounds. Kim had struggled with her
weight for 23 years and had tried her share of fad diets.
"With each [diet] I'd lose weight," Kim says, "but then I'd
gain it back... and then some." Do you think she needed an obesity buster program? You betcha!
Kim was then introduced to the Isagenix Cleansing and
Fat Burning System. Kim followed the program diligently
and stayed on the product consistently. She focused on her
goals and achieved them monthly.
Now Kim has lost a total of 152 pounds.* That's not all.
She's managed to keep it off—a difference that has given
her a new way of living, filled with energy and new-found
confidence. "This is the smallest I've been in 23 years,"
says Kim. "Isagenix has totally changed my life."
The Isagenix® Challenge ABC 4's test involved two people, Debbie Olds and Rob Rogers, both of whom had never tried any Isagenix products
before. Debbie is a mother of two and wanted to lose
weight to gain energy. Rob wanted more energy also, but
hoped to finally get back to his college-football weight. The
two took their own measurements, weighed themselves,
and started with their Cleanse Days.
Both participants saw results right away. They each kept
track of inches and pounds lost. After five days on the
Cleansing and Fat Burning System, ABC 4 reported Debbie
lost 4 pounds.* Rob had lost 13.* "That's pretty good,"
said Debbie, happy with the result. "My pants are nice and
loose," added Rob, who expected the program to be more
The Results
By the ninth day, ABC 4 reported Rob had lost 22 pounds.*
"I feel really good," said Rob, energized and thrilled to see
himself slimmer. "When I measured I said, 'No I'm cheating,
I'm pulling the tape too tight,' but I wasn't, it was real loss."
Debbie was glad to have lost weight, but more pleased
about her new level of energy. "My 8 pounds* that I lost is
almost irrelevant for the amount of energy that I feel, the
amount of sleep I've been getting, and how clear I can
think," said Debbie.

or 30-day supply, contact us for more information:

Mustang MonthlyFeatured Vehicles
1972 Ford Mustang Mach 1 351 H.O. - H.O. For Go
George Munsterman's '72 Mach 1 Is Powered By The Rare R-Code 351 H.O.
First of all, George Munsterman's fastback is a low-mileage example of the '72 Mach 1. Other than a repaint in the original Bright Lime, it's all original. On top of that, it's powered by the R-code version of the 351 Cleveland, a Boss 351-like powerplant that was installed in only 398 Mustangs in 1972, per Kevin Marti's production data from Ford. Munsterman, from Fishkill, New York, hit the jackpot when he spotted the car for sale in Oregon on a Web site and took delivery this past April.
But at this year's Carlisle All-Ford Nationals, George received yet another treat. "While I was cleaning the car, a man and his adult son walked up to me and began describing a car exactly like mine, a car he had purchased brand new," George tells us. "Turns out, it was Francois Boudreau, the original owner who had special-ordered this Mach 1 from Bob Carr Ford in Victor, New York. Francois was visiting his son, who lives near Carlisle, and they decided to drop by the show. When his son was born, he rode home from the hospital in this very car."
Coincidentally, George purchased the car on April 12, 2003-exactly 31 years to the day since Boudreau took delivery on April 12, 1972. In addition to that, both men are in the construction business in the state of New York.
The R-code 351 H.O. Mustangs from 1972 are truly the last of the first-generation muscle Mustangs. With both the Boss 351 Mustang and the 429 Cobra Jet engine falling off the Mustang order sheet after 1971, the top performance engine at the beginning of the model year was the 266hp (net, at the rear wheels) 351 Cleveland 4V, also known as the Q-code 351 Cobra Jet. Later, the 275hp R-code 351 H.O. was added to the option list for all Mustang body styles, not just the Mach 1. Basically a '71 Boss 351 with open chamber heads (as opposed to the closed chamber Boss heads) and flat-top pistons for lower compression, the 351 H.O., like the Boss 351, came with a four-bolt main bearing block, a nodular iron crankshaft, forged rods, a solid-lifter camshaft, aluminum valve covers, a dual-point distributor, aluminum intake, rev limiter, and an Autolite 4300D spreadbore four-barrel carburetor.
Also like the Boss 351, the 351 H.O.-equipped '72 Mustangs received the Hurst-shifted four-speed, 9-inch rearend with locking 3.91 gears and 31-spline axles, Competition Suspension with staggered rear shocks, and dual exhausts. Another Boss trait is that air conditioning was not available with the H.O. So, except for the lower compression ratio, which is actually more streetable with today's low-octane fuel, and the lack of Boss 351 decals and hood blackout, the 351 H.O.-equipped '72 is a Boss 351.
But unlike 1971, when the Boss 351 engine was available only in the Boss 351 SportsRoof, the 351 H.O. was offered in all '72 Mustang body styles. According to Marti's database from Ford, the H.O. was installed into 366 SportsRoofs (presumably, most were Mach 1s), 19 hardtops, and 13 convertibles.
Francois Boudreau was one of the 398 lucky few to obtain one of the 351 H.O. Mustangs in 1972 after ordering his Mach 1 with a console, fold-down rear seat, and AM/FM/eight-track. He drove the car sparingly, then traded it in four years later at the same dealership where it was purchased.
Over the years, the car changed hands three or four times, eventually migrating cross-country to Oregon, where it ended up for sale online and, eventually, on George Munsterman's computer screen.

Today's silly quote from Hank Steinbrenner:
Truthfully, I think Girardi is going to end up being one of the greatest managers in the history of the game. That's my gut feeling. He reminds me of Billy Martin - without the baggage.Well, Girardi did get a reputation of abusing young arms in Florida -- something Martin clearly did with the 1980-82 Atheltics.
GQ's Nate Penn sat down with the more introverted Hal Steinbrenner for a lengthy Q&A. The closing:
Are you willing to concede that Boston, my favorite team, is the superior organization right now?The Herald errs and attributes the quote to Hank.
No, I will never concede. They've got a lot of talent, and you've done very well the past few years, but let me put it this way: I don't think you guys wanted to play us in the ALCS. So I will concede nothing. I think we're better than you.

Sunset Rays
Taken from the US Highway #321, this was one of the best vantage points of the Blue Ridge Mountains, from just south of Blowing Rock. In this shot you can see all the way as far as Linville. 2011
Looking South
This was one of my first shots of Grandfather Mountain, taken from the car park near the peak, looking out east towards the foothills. I've tried to re-cereate this image a few times with a higher resolution camera , but you can never quite do it like you did it the first time.2007.
Grandmother Mountain
Another of my older shots, taken from near the top of Grandfather Mountain, NC. I like the way the black and white brings out the contrast and accentuates the ridge lines looking out towards Linville. 2007.
Appalachian Color
This was the first time I had really experienced the fall color of the Blue Ridge Mountains in North Carolina. Taken from Grandfather Mountain, it was like a blanket draped across the hills. 2007.
A statue, not sure who or what it represents, in the grounds of the Biltmore estate in Asheville, NC. Actually quite enjoyed this visit, easy to imagine what life was like in this self sufficient estate at the turn of the 19th / 20th century. 2016.
Biltmore House
An alternative view of the statue infront of the main building in the Biltmore Estate. There's lots of such stately homes like this in the U.K., but that are really celebrated in the U.S. Asheville, North Carolina, 2016.
Blowing Rock
Blowing Rock is one my favourite places in the Appalachian Region, a picturesque little town tucked away in the shadow of Grandfather Mountain. This is Main Street, the main drag through this High Country gem. 2016.
High Country Main Street
It's not often that I break out the star light filter, but I was experimenting with this shot a little, trying to add as much vibrant colour into this high street shot in Blowing Rock, North Carolina, 2016.
Blue Ridge Parkway at Linville
The Blue Ridge Parkway can be *so* quiet at times, it makes it easy to stop, set up and get eery shots like this. The masonry finish on this bridge makes this Blue Ridge Mountains scene look like an idyllically quiet landscape. North Carolina, 2010
Appalachian Sky
An airplane streaks across there sky over the Blue Ridge Mountains, North Carolina, on New Year's Eve in 2013.
Blowing Rock High Street
Some light trails from passing cates on Blowing Rock High Street in the North Carolina High Country, 2016. Some great little shops on display here - the Kilwin's ice cream parlour and my favourite - the Sixpence British pub.
Linville Sunset
Another of my favourites, and another older shot. A long lens view of a pink sky over the Blue Ridge Mountains, nr Blowing Rock, taken from the edge of US highway #321. Love the detail in the ridge lines, with just a hint of snow. 2011
Grandmother Mountain Sunset
Sunset over the Blue Ridge Mountains at Grandfather Mountain, NC. This shot was taken on New Year's Eve, perhaps the first time in my adult life that I wasn't already settled into a New Year party. Odd, but very satisfying to be sober and out taking this shot. ;-) 2013.
Linville Cove
This is the Linn Cove viaduct, known for car commercials due to its photogenic sweeping profile. It snakes around a part of Grandfather Mountain along the Blue Ridge Parkway in NC. 2013.
Blue Ridge Parkway Ice
A close up of those odd looking rectangular icicles, on a very cold Blue Ridge Parkway at Chimney Rock, NC. 2012
Chimney Rock Ice
It was very cold and the low clouds created some quite eery scenes during my my drive along the Blue Ridge Parkway. NC. 2012
Snow on the Parkway
A winter scene along the Blue Ridge Parkway. This is at the intersection between the parkway and US#221 near Blowing Rock, NC. 2012
Parkway Panorama
Always love the way the ice becomes more and more prominent as you climb us highway #321 through Blowing Rock. This was the magnificent winter scene that greeted us as we joined the Blue Ridge Parkway, NC. 2012
Yadkin Fog
There was an eery fog hanging over Yadkin Valley in North Carolina on Christmas Day, and Santa had brought me a new Nikon. Great fun creating some winter black and whites. Highway 268 Caldwell Co. NC. 2012
Foggy Yadkin
Christmas Day in the foothills of the Blue Ridge Mountains, NC. One of the very first images i shot with my new Nikon D800. Had lots of fun that day with this camera in the wintery conditions. 2012.
I took a drive east along the Blue Ridge Parkway rather than west on the this trip, hoping to see something interesting and I was amazed by these rectangular icicles hanging off a fence. Very very cold that day! North Carolina. 2012
Glorious North Carolina
One of my older shots, and an opportunist one as we removed the boat from the W. Kerr Scott Reservoir and onto the trailer. Love the way the sunset pierces the river bank on the far side, NC. 2010.
Appalachian Sunset Profile
To date, I still don't know the name of that distinctive Blue Ridge Mountains peak which is a feature of my of my images; near Linville I think. North Carolina, 2011.
Grandfather Mountain Ice
The ice line was perfectly in evidence on Grandfather Mountain as we drove along the Blue Ridge Parkway. It's a very odd sight, that's for sure; amazing to see such a transition. North Carolina 2012.

CHAPEL HILL, N.C. – The No. 27 Florida State men's tennis team improved to 17-7this season after defeating No. 69 North Carolina 5-2 on Sunday. The Seminoles took the doubles point and then went on to increase their record to 4-4 in the ACC at the Cone-Kenfield Tennis Center.
"It was a really good win today," said head coach Dwayne Hultquist. "This was the first time we've beaten them since 2009, so we knew how good North Carolina was going into the match. It was important to win the doubles point, especially since we were down in both matches that we ended up winning."
UNC won the first doubles match of the day on court two, but the Seminoles bounced back by winning on court one and three. No. 34 Dominic Cotrone and Blake Davis topped No. 81 William Parker and Nelsen Vick 8-6. The duo was down 5-2 but bounced back for the win. With the doubles point on the line, it came to court three between No. 89 Jordan Kelly-Houston and Anderson Reed and James Coxe and Oystein Steiro.
UNC led the match 4-2 until Florida State won four straight games. The Tar Heels broke at 6-4 and then each team held serve until UNC broke 7-7 to serve for the win. The Seminoles broke back to force a tiebreaker. Kelly-Houston and Reed went on to win 9-8 (2).
"Jordan and I pulling out the tiebreaker was huge in doubles," said Reed. "It helped with momentum heading into singles. Benjamin (Lock) and I were both fortunate enough to pull out a singles tiebreaker in the first set to secure another lead for us. It was huge for closing out the match as a team by giving them no momentum. I am proud of the other guys in singles getting off the court fast to close the match."
Sophomore Cristian Gonzalez Mendez won his fourth straight match with a 6-4, 6-3 score over Steiro on court five. Up next for the team was an upset by No. 125 Cotrone against No. 31 Esben Hess-Olesen. The sophomore bounced back from his loss on Friday to win 6-0, 6-4 on court one.
UNC won the next match to make the score 3-1 but freshman Michael Rinaldi went on to clinch the match on court six with a 6-2, 6-3 win over Taylor Meyer. After the match was clinched, Reed would give the Seminoles their final point by winning his 20th singles match of the year. Four Seminoles have reached that mark this year, the most since 2008 when six Seminoles joined the 20 win club.
"Beating UNC today was a solid win in the ACC," said Rinaldi. "They're a talented team. I think everybody played a good match and this will help our confidence going into the match against Virginia on Friday."
"I'm really pleased with how we pulled out five first sets," continued Hultquist. "Especially with Anderson (Reed) winning the tiebreaker. Benjamin (Lock) was down 5-3 but won his. We got another great win from Cristian (Gonzalez Mendez) and Dominic (Cotrone) had a great upset. Michael (Rinaldi) continued his great play with another clinched win."
The Seminoles return home next weekend to close out the regular season. For more information, check back to Seminoles.com. You can also follow the team at Twitter.com/FSU_MTennis.

Purpose of Policy
It is essential that we maintain adequate parking for the convenience of our employees and authorized visitors. We need to limit the construction of parking facilities to conserve our natural and financial resources. Parking on campus must be maintained in a considerate and safe manner, providing access to buildings for emergency services and deliveries. Please refrain from idling your vehicle for prolonged periods. Rockland County regulations prohibit idling vehicles for over 3 minutes.
Access to Lamont
Access to Lamont is controlled by both a gate and a guard. During the weekday morning rush hour the gate may be left open to expedite traffic. The guard will look for a Lamont parking decal on the windshield of an approaching vehicle. All Lamont employees driving personal vehicles to work must obtain an LDEO parking decal and parking tag ($25.00 refundable deposit required) from the LDEO Security office, Administration building, room 101. If there is no decal you will be stopped and asked to identify yourself and your purpose on campus. At other times the gate will be closed. (Lamont employees are issued a gate control radio tag to automatically open the gate). If you do not have a tag, you will have to identify yourself to the guard before the gate will be opened. Any change in vehicle registration or ownership must be communicated to the Security office.
A guest list will be prepared for the guard's use at the gate. Send an email to Security ( email@example.com ) stating the name of the visitor,manner by which visitor is to arrive - personal car, limo or hotel van, who they are here to visit, which building they should be directed to, and duration of visit in order to have the visitor's name added to the guest list. Note: Visitor request should be sent minimally 2 hours in advance; visitor requests after 5 PM must be made directly to the Guard Booth by calling 8370 from any campus phone. If you are having a visitor on the weekend you must email the above visitor email address by noon on the Friday of the scheduled weekend as this email address is not monitored during weekends for weekend visitors. Please keep in mind that all buildings are locked, therefore, you will need to make arrangements for entry. The guard will gladly call you on your cell or office extension to notify you of the arrival of your visitor. There is no need to notify Security of daytime deliveries to the Shipping & Receiving Dept., but Security must be notified of after hour visitors and all service calls or other deliveres (not going to Shipping & Receiving) with a telephone number to be contacted when the visitor or delivery arrives.
Events - Meetings
An Event Form is to be completed by the LDEO Host for any internally hosted event (e.g seminar, workshop, campus tour or conference) one week prior to the event.
Please fill out the form, save the form and then email to firstname.lastname@example.com which will notify the LDEO Security office and Traffic Office of the logistics for your event.
Daily Parking
Parking on campus is for the convenience of Lamont employees and authorized visitors. When parking on campus, only clearly delineated parking spaces must be used. Fire hydrants and Fire Lanes adjacent to buildings must be kept clear, and all roads must be kept accessible for other motorists, delivery vehicles (which include tractor trailers), and emergency apparatus. Parking spaces may not be used for storage of vehicles or other items. Any such unauthorized vehicles will be towed at the owners expense.
Obtaining Vehicle Tags
Every employee who needs one will be issued a gate control radio tag upon request with a $25.00 refundable deposit. An additional or replacement tag is also available for $25. Windshield stickers are issued at no charge. The stickers must be mounted on the windshield behind the rearview mirror. All stickers are numbered for identification, and the car registration must match the registration data provided at the time the sticker is issued to be valid. To request a sticker or tag, please visit the Security office in the Administration building or complete the online application on the Administration/Security web page. Each employee may request up to two parking stickers. Exceptions to this limit will be reviewed on a case by case basis.
Parking Registration Form
Please complete all information on the parking registration form. If you need to register more than one vehicle you must complete a seperate form and submit it for each additional one. After completion you must bring the form to Security with payment of $25.00 for each one requested. The Decals are free.
If you need Overnight/Long Term Parking - Please submit the Overnight/Longterm form
You may contact either Wanda Espinal at ext 8990 or Cathy Troutman at ext 8860 for any additional information or questions you may have.
Registration Form - Application for Parking Decal and Gate Control Tag
Overnight/Long Term Parking Request Form
Overnight/Long Term Parking
A number of spaces have been identified for overnight and long term parking. These spaces are clearly marked by a sign post. Overnight / Long Term spaces are located in the Geochemistry Parking Lot (35), Geoscience Parking Lot (27), and at Lamont Hall (9) . Click on link above for a location map.
To park in the overnight spaces on an occasional basis you must have a Lamont parking sticker displayed on your windshield and you must email the Security office ( email@example.com ) of your intention to leave your car on campus and the dates. Employees who routinely use long term parking (e.g., city dwellers) may request extended overnight parking by filing a Overnight/Long Term parking form with Security. Security will monitor the use of these spaces and the ownership of the vehicles. For extended use of overnight parking, it is requested that you leave a key with Security or with a coworker who can be reached while you are away so the car can be moved if necessary. All vehicles parked in an overnight spot must have a current vehicle registration and inspection sticker on the vehicle.
Security is authorized to tow cars as necessary to enforce this policy. The owner of the vehicle will be required to pay for the towing charges to have the car returned. In the case of an abandoned vehicle (no plates and missing or lapsed registration), following appropriate notification of the owner (if identifiable), the vehicle will be removed for scrap.

You said "Rawm cannot be on a presented kasrah or dhammah put on a letter to get rid of the occurrence of two saakin letters juxtaposed." I dont understand this sentence well.
Salaam Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa Baraktuhu.
I'm learning Stopping on the Ends of Words, in Lesson One:
http://www.abouttajweed.com/stopping-on-the-ends-of-words/stopping-on-the-ends -of-words-2.html , you said "Rawm cannot be on a presented kasrah or dhammah put on a letter to get rid of the occurrence of two saakin letters juxtaposed." I dont understand this sentence well. What's the meaning of presented kasrah or presented dhammah? And why it will be the occurrence of two saakin letters juxtaposed when a Rawm is on a presented kasrah or dhammah? May u cite some examples? Thx. Jazakllahu Khairun.
Wa alaikum assalaam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh,
Some terms are hard to put in English. We used the term "presented" dhammah and kasrah to denote a kasrah or dhammah not part in the original make-up of the word. There is a general rule in Arabic that you cannot have two saakin letters meeting between two words. If this happens, then something must change so that there are not two saakin letters between two words. The usual case is that the last letter of the first word which had a sukoon, acquires a vowel. This vowel then is not due to congugation of the verb or noun, nor is a permanent vowel, instead it is a transitional vowel placed on the last letter of a word which had a sukoon so that two saakin letters do not meet in pronounciation. An example of this is the saakinah in the word: ; this is a fixed sukoon and the way this word is normally written. If however, a saakinah letter is the first pronounced letter of the following word, then the on the end of acquires a dhammah to avoid the occurence of two saakin letters between two words. An example of this is in the two words: . The in the word now has a dhammah. This is what we mean by "presented" dhammh. This is not an original or fixed dhammah nor a result of congugation, so is not allowed in this case, when stopping on the word .
An example of a conditional or "presented" kasrah is the word in aayah 2 of surah Yunus. The verb is a congugated one and the on the end has a sukoon due to the verb being a command form, but because the first pronounced letter of the next word is saakin, the acquires a kasrah: . is not allowed on this word either because the kasrah is not a fixed one, but an acquired kasrah as result of the meeting of two saakin letters between two words.
Insha' Allah this makes things clearer.
Wa iyyaakum wa-l-muslimeen.

When Andrew Newell is suspended in midair above the luscious melting snow of a spring day in Utah, he doesn't have time to think about the fact that he could become the first US cross-country skier to medal at the Olympics in 34 years.
He's too focused on landing a back flip on skinny skis.
But it is precisely Newell's unorthodox style and superior athleticism that may enable him to do what no American has done since 1976. Agile as a cat, and audacious enough to integrate expertise from sports as removed as rugby, he has been ranked among the top five sprint skiers in the world since 2006.
But Newell, part of a rising generation of US skiers that also includes potential medalists Kikkan Randall and Kris Freeman, is more than a star. He's a missionary of sorts – for his sport, and for the Olympic movement as a whole.
Because, let's face it: Securing the attention of America's TV audience with European sports practiced only in scattered pockets of the United States – mainly ones with populations as low as their temperatures – is no small feat in this day of "American Idol" and "Desperate Housewives."
As much as Americans love the Olympics, few have ever gotten near a luge track and most think of Nordic skiing as something for granola-crunching folks to do in Grandpa's backyard, as Newell puts it.
The International Olympic Committee gets that. So in an effort to spice up the Games, it has in recent years added a slew of new events to both the summer and winter programs – including snowboard cross and BMX racing. With head-to-head action, jumps, and a strong dose of gravity, they offer speed, drama, and the potential for spectacular crashes.
But so does cross-country skiing, argues Newell.
"In some ways, cross-country skiing is one of those original Olympic races that are extreme," he says.
As an athlete who bridges the central tension of the modern Olympics – tradition versus X-Games appeal – he's on a mission to prove that cross-country skiing has both.
Oh, yeah, and beat a few Scandinavians while he's at it.
Newell has the pedigree of a world-class skier – Vermonter, ski academy graduate, and protégé of a coaching dynasty that produced Bill Koch, the sole US medalist in Olympic cross-country skiing history.
But he is a unique breed among the Nordic set, a chain-saw-wielding daredevil with a penchant for speed and big air. He sports tattoos and the skull-and-bones logo of his "x ski films" venture – a heavy-metal-meets-lycra-tights effort to prove that xc is more X than country.
"What we really wanted to do with the movies was to show people what fast cross-country skiing looked like," says Newell, shown – along with his teammates – battling the world's best in front of wild European crowds.
He also included footage of himself doing 360s, back flips, and other tricks in a snowboard park in Park City, Utah, where he trains with the US Ski Team when not back home in Shaftsbury, Vt. Those tricks are purely recreational – there's no time for that in races. But the agility he's honed by defying gravity has given him a reputation in Europe akin to that of Bode Miller, the renegade US alpine skier whose audacious style enables him to trounce the world's best – when he doesn't crash.
"I'm infamous in Europe for being really good on my skis and being able to pass people really quickly – something that's come from having so much fun on skis when I was younger and [from] doing tricks," said Newell during an interview at his alma mater, Stratton Mountain School, just before heading over to Europe this winter. "But at the same time I'm kind of infamous for crashing out sometimes, too."
Going into eighth grade, Newell was "getting [his] butt kicked" at summer training camps, he says. So he decided to go to Stratton for the winter term. He was coached by Sverre Caldwell, whom – together with his brother, Tim, and 1976 medalist Bill Koch – Newell describes as "young stallions who would run for six hours without water and hike mountains carrying rocks."
"We all wanted to be like those legendary Vermont skiers," recalls Newell, whose autographed 2006 Olympic photo now hangs in the school's field house, inspiring a new crop of Stratton juniors. "So it was a good group of kids that were able to push each other really hard."
By Newell's senior year in high school, the Stratton team was better than any college team in the Northeast – in a sport where athletes generally peak in their late 20s.
But while Caldwell had talent, he also had problems. Just weeks before Junior Nationals one year, Newell injured himself doing a 360 during practice.
"As a coach, I was torn because if he doesn't hurt himself, [doing tricks] is actually good for him. But it's high-risk," says Caldwell, who said Newell had to find a balance between wisdom and the tough Vermonter image he and his teammates cultivated. "They liked to think they were badass rednecks."
In 2006, Newell was able to translate his tactics into the first World Cup medal (a bronze) for the US since 1983. The next year, his teammate Kikkan Randall of Anchorage, Alaska, followed suit with bronze – then gold. In 2009, she became the first US woman ever to medal at Worlds. Andover, N.H., native Kris Freeman, meanwhile, missed bronze in the 15-kilometer (9-mile) race by just 1.3 seconds.
Those results have shattered a mental glass ceiling.
"We've spent ... almost a quarter of a century not believing that we can do it," says national team coach Pete Vordenberg. "So that's a real difficult thing to overcome."
Bagging an Olympic medal would not only boost their own confidence, but also that of US skiers coming up in the ranks.
"If Andy [Newell] wins, they're going to believe they can win," says Caldwell.
Already, Newell has developed a following among many young skiers – especially in New England. Two of them were careening off improvised jumps at the Weston Ski Track just outside Boston in mid-January.
Middle schooler Gavin McEwen says he's been following Newell online since second grade. His buddy Chris Koziel, meanwhile, got to train with Newell at a Stratton summer camp and likes checking out his stunts on YouTube – including one clip of him doing a back flip over a parked car.
"It's kind [of] sick that he can do all those tricks, but the World Cup [success he's had] is more important," says Chris. "He's the man. And now I'm going to see him in Vancouver."
In addition to inspiring young sprites, Newell is helping to set a new model of professionalism on the US Ski Team. Even as a teenager, he raised eyebrows by getting up in the middle of action movies to go to bed at 9 p.m.
"Freeman, Newell, and Kikkan have really carried themselves as professional athletes," says US coach Chris Grover. "Because [of that] ... and because of their success, the whole group of younger athletes understands that to be the norm."
Liz Stephen, one of the most promising young women on the team, singles out Newell as a role model.
"Newell doesn't want to hope about whether he's done the work and whether he can win. He knows he can win, he knows he's done the work," says Ms. Stephen. "I think that's kind of the motto across the line for our team. We want to know that when we show up for races, we're prepared."
In Whistler, they will be.

Vikings running back Adrian Peterson, who has shown from time to time a willingness to drop his helmet and obliterate a would-be tackler, realizes that the new rule regarding the use of the crown of the helmet encompasses his playing style.
And so he doesn't like it. But he also realizes (reluctantly) that it's a good thing.
"Sooner or later we're going to be playing touch football," Peterson told KFAN, before changing his tune. "That's just the passion in me that said that and then the maturity in me said, you know what, it's an OK rule because it protects players."
Still, Peterson thinks that the new rule provides more protection for defensive players.
"The one thing I do not like about the rule is they single it out towards running backs," Peterson said. "From my point of view, when you're looking at the defense and there's eleven guys coming at you. There's so many times that guys have came at me and lowered their helmet not with their face mask facing me. They just lowered their helmet and came in and dived at me, my legs and my knees."
Under the new rule, any defensive player that uses the top of his helmet against Peterson will be flagged, too. Maybe once it happens a few times, Peterson and other offensive players will believe it.

The "Holy Stones" are a series of carved and polished stones bearing Hebrew inscriptions, said to have been found in the ancient mounds near Newark, Ohio in the 1860s. They were seized upon by those who believed "savage" Indians could not have built Ohio's mounds, but have been considered frauds since the late 1800s. However, some enthusiasts have recently claimed they might be authentic. What are the "Holy Stones?" Are they evidence of pre-Columbian visitations by ancient Hebrews? If they are clever frauds, what were the perpetrators' motives?
