SOLDOTNA (AP) -- The Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly has chosen a partner to help with the planning, design and construction of a private prison.
The assembly on Friday in an executive session picked a joint venture led by Cornell Corrections to help the borough secure a state contract for the 800 to 1,000-bed prison.
Assembly member Jack Brown moved to select Cornell Companies, Inc., the lead company of the Corrections Group North team.
''I believe Cornell came up with a well-defined legislative strategy,'' said Brown. ''They did extensive research of the site of the correctional facility. (I was) extremely impressed with their local emphasis on employee development and recruitment.''
Cornell is part of a team that includes Kenai Natives Association, which first sparked interest in a prison on its land next to the state-run Wildwood Correctional Facility north of Kenai.
Cornell and another group, Management & Training Corp., gave one-hour presentations to the assembly. A review panel had scored Cornell a hair lower than a joint venture led by Management & Training. The panel had graded four potential prison operators based on their financial backing, willingness to hire and set up offices locally, experience and ability to lobby lawmakers.
The borough administration and assembly is hoping Cornell can persuade lawmakers, the Knowles administration and the Department of Corrections to place the prison on the Kenai Peninsula.
Borough Mayor Dale Bagley said the next steps involve negotiating a contract for assembly approval and preparing legislation to gain approval for the peninsula project at the state level.
Previous actions passed by the Alaska Legislature opened the door for construction of a private prison at Ft. Greely near Delta Junction. However, a number of roadblocks, including two lawsuits, have brought that project to a near standstill.
Margaret Pugh, commissioner for the Alaska Department of Corrections, said building the prison on the peninsula requires additional legislation to either redirect the already-approved project to this area or to authorize construction of a second facility to house Alaska's inmate population.
A shortage of in-state prison space is to blame for some 800 inmates currently housed in a Corrections Corporation of America facility in Arizona.

Early in his career as a heavy metal singer and guitarist, Dave Mustaine had a reputation for living life in the fast lane.
Nowadays, the founder of Megadeth still has a fast-paced lifestyle - the 49-year-old has a new book out called Mustaine: A Heavy Metal Memoir, and Megadeth has released a new Rust in Peace Live CD and DVD and is doing a massive world tour.
And, at home in California, he enjoys driving fast in his 2004 Aston Martin Vanquish S.
"When I saw it in James Bond, I thought, 'God, I like that car!'
"It's one of those cars where you actually love it or you hate it. I loved it. It was a sexy car. The motor is pretty fierce," he boasts.
He's not afraid to push the V-12 to its limits, either. "I do like speed. The top speed of this car is in the neighbourhood of 200 miles an hour. I've only gotten it up to 120 because there's a lot of traffic where I live.
"I had a sheriff with me at the time I did it. If anybody thinks it was reckless it was, but I had a cop with me," he laughs.
Other times he wasn't as lucky. Once he got a speeding ticket when picking up his daughter's Chihuahua puppy. "I was coming up a hill and there was a diesel truck, so I went to overtake him and started to go downhill. As I came up to the top of the rise, there was a cliff right there and the guy was hiding behind it. And I got tagged.
"In the area where we were in Arizona, when you go over 85, it's a felony so they take you to jail. I was over 85 and I told him, 'Man, it was a fluke. Look at my record, I have no tickets.' He looked back and there were no tickets so he let me off with a speeding ticket. I had to pay the fine and I had to go to school." That incident was in a Mercedes-Benz SL-Class he used to own.
"I've had a couple of fender benders, a couple of speeding tickets. ... I'm just as guilty as the next person of the California stop. But you know me, I could be in the middle of the Sahara desert, roll through a stop sign and someone will duck out from a sand dune to say I broke the law."
Mustaine also owns a Mercedes-Benz CLS with a high-performance B11 Brabus kit; his wife drives a Mercedes-Benz CL500 AMG. The family car is a tricked-out GMC Yukon. "We have the typical suburban assault vehicle - a lowered Yukon Denali with 22-inch wheels, back when those things were unheard of. It has a Vortech supercharger on it. So my wife was driving up to soccer practice with the blower on her car," he laughs.
He bought his first car at 16 - an old 1960 Renault, which cost $80. He got his first "real car" in the early days of Megadeth. "I got my first paycheque when I was with Megadeth and I went out and bought a Z28 with a blueprinted motor, six-speed, lowered convertible and went to downtown Los Angeles, conducted a drug buy and had two enormous guns stuck over the roof telling me to freeze because my friend that I took there to score decided to do it right in front of some undercover cops.
"I'm glad they didn't take my car away. So he went to jail and they made him come back and finger the guy that did it. He was sitting in the cell with the guy that he bought from and I'm thinking, 'Man, he must have gotten his ass beaten!' " says the 49-year-old California native.
When it comes to driving music, Mustaine doesn't tune into heavy metal. "When my kids are in the car and my wife is driving, we'll put on country music - it's young country, it's not old Hank Williams stuff. It's more modern stuff that sounds like rock music anyway.
"I don't listen to music on the radio. As soon as I get in, I listen to talk radio - the news.
"Sometimes I'll be clicking through the stations and I'll hear a song and it'll be in Spanish because we live by the Mexican border and I'll leave it on there. Then next thing you know there's a mariachi band and it's like, 'What was I thinking?' "
Even though the Vanquish is six years old, he still treats it like gold. "It's a beautiful little car. In the Vanquish there's no eating, but the other cars are just cars.
"The Vanquish is a very expensive vehicle. It's an exotic. Just out of respect for the gift God has given me I don't want to be a bad steward. I think it would be very ostentatious to let my dogs crap in the car.
"At some point, I'll want to sell it and give it to someone else who will appreciate it more than I will. Not everything is for a season. While I have it, I want to take good care of it."
In the meantime, he has his eyes set on another exotic: "A Continental GT - that's my next purchase," he says without hesitation.

Bringin' the Noise: Duke of discipline
Owners with outfield vacancies who don't consider Elijah Dukes for employment would be wise to ignore any future incoming text messages with picture attachments.
In his controversial career, Dukes, who graduated summa cum laude from the Milton Bradley College of Anger Mismanagement, has been known more for violent temper tantrums than statistical contributions.
While a top Tampa prospect from 2004-2007 he was suspended an uncountable number of times for altercations ranging from disrespectful comments about the organization to heated verbal and physical exchanges with players and managers.
Away from the diamond, his behavior has been equally destructive. Since 2003, he's been involved in three separate domestic disputes, highlighted by an incident last year in which he forwarded a picture of a handgun to his wife's cell phone with the loving words "You dead dawg," left on a voice mail.
Dukes' villainous acts are definitely not suitable for the "On This Date" section of a vintage Topps baseball card, but he does possess the natural tools to one day post italicized numbers.
That is, if he can squelch the mental demons, something that's already been difficult to do in Washington.
On June 10, the quarrelsome outfielder lashed out at Nationals skipper Manny Acta in the visitor's dugout at PNC Park. Acta confronted Dukes to discuss his excessive celebration of a game-deciding Lastings Milledge blast. The two exchanged verbal pleasantries before being separated by teammates. Dukes later refused to acknowledge Acta's handshake gesture at the end of the game.
Again, it seemed, the troubled 23-year-old had doused another bridge in kerosene.
But the Washington Dukes is kinder and gentler. Instead of allowing the fire to smolder, he apologized to Acta and his teammates for his "heat of the moment" outburst.
Although it may appear small, that acceptance of responsibility was a turning point for the moody youngster, one which could lead to an offensive explosion.
Since June 1, the ultra-athletic right fielder has started to show signs of fantasy maturity. His line over that span – 56 at-bats, .286 BA, HR, 9 RBIs, 8 Rs, and 3 SBs – is respectable production for a No. 4 outfielder in 12-team mixed leagues.
Compared to last year, Dukes has exuded improved discipline at the dish (15.2 BB%), which has dramatically boosted his contact (CT% '08: 75.8, '07: 71.8) and line-drive rates (LD% '08: 18.7, '07: 10.5). Instead of trying to muscle the ball skyward with each swing, he's pounded the ball into the ground more frequently ('07 GB/FB: 0.88, '08: 1.65), maximizing his blazing speed.
Built from a similar mold as Milwaukee's Mike Cameron, Dukes has always possessed the Herculean strength and breakneck wheels necessary to be an annual 20-20 producer. Now that his fiery disposition seems to be somewhat in check, he's started to tap into that enormous potential. Over the past month the 0.16 percent-owned switch-hitter has outperformed Matt Kemp, Jeremy Hermida, Chris Young and Andre Ethier in Y! leagues.
Given his dynamite gifts, everyday at-bats and speed-friendly No. 2 spot in the Nationals order, he could reap major reward for his backers during the rest of the season. It's not unrealistic to think he could compile a line around .280 BA, 5 HR, 38 RBI, 50 R, 15 SB over his next 360 at-bats.
Finally, it seems, Dukes' Incredible Hulk alter-ego is being channeled positively, through his bat.

Aviles' numbers are like a Victoria's Secret catalog left exposed on a coffee table – they're impossible to ignore. As detailed in Tuesday's "Closing Time" the Kansas City shortstop has been an improbable fantasy hero. The former Division II collegiate and Royals minor league player of the year has played with unmitigated zeal since his promotion from Omaha on June 2. With his short, compact swing and aggressive approach early in counts, the 27-year-old has driven the ball convincingly into gaps, showcasing surprising all-fields power. Through his first 45 at-bats, he's collected nine extra-base hits, three homers and four multi-hit games. His history of high contact rates (10.7 K% at Triple-A in '08, 80.3 CT% with KC) and prodigious power numbers in the minors (10 HR in 214 at-bats with Omaha this year) show that he's no accident. Unbelievably, no team wanted to invest $50,000 in Aviles when KC left him unprotected for last year's Rule 5 draft. But he's worth the minimal investment in your fantasy league. A cross between Jeff Keppinger and Dan Uggla, this Royal will pay princely dividends going forward in most 5x5 categories. Anticipate top-10 shortstop production from Aviles over the remainder of the season.

On a team ravaged by injury and ineptitude (see Martinez, Victor and Hafner, Travis), Francisco has been the Indians lone poison arrow. Francisco doesn't excel in one specific category, but he's a multi-dimensional hitter who yields profits across-the-board. As Eric Wedge told the Akron Beacon Journal, he believes the outfielder's "athleticism, quickness and speed, gives us the same kinds of things as a right-handed Grady (Sizemore) gives us from the left." Given Sizemore's statistical prowess, that's quite a compliment. Operating exclusively out of the three-hole, Francisco has amassed a .318 BA, two homers, 12 RBIs, 12 runs and a stolen base in 66 June at-bats. During that stretch, he's slapped five multi-hit games, including a five-hit effort June 4 versus Texas and a four-hit performance versus Minnesota June 12. Given his terrific 83.9 contact percentage, power friendly 48.5 FB% and plus wheels, Francisco has the tools of a dark-horse 15-15 player. He smashed 17 homers and swiped 25 bases with Triple-A Buffalo in '06. Roster him in all 12-team mixed leagues.

Puzzling, the Rubik's Kubel is not. Quite possibly the most underappreciated hitter in Y! fantasy, the widely available 26-year-old is tapping into his 25-30 homer upside. In 40 June at-bats, he's cracked a .325 BA with four homers, nine RBIs and nine runs. Compared to '07, Kubel is driving the ball with more vigor, evident in his sharply rising fly-ball percentages ('07: 35.2, '08: 41.9). The Mount Rushmore State native is a superb low-ball hitter who generates plentiful pop with his quick lefty swing. On pace for 25 bombs, 90 RBIs and 70-plus runs, he's essentially Jermaine Dye '07. Although he's shown admirable patience at the plate (17.5 BB% in June), his 77.9 contact percentage arrows to a final BA in the .260-.270 range. Still, his power upside alone makes him lovable.

If the junior Miller continues to rack quality starts, heavily-decorated teammate Justin Miller may ink the youngster's portrait on his derrire, right next to Billy Koch's name. What an honor. The lengthy 6-foot-6 lefty is starting to live up to the top prospect hype. Minus a couple of hiccups, he's been brilliant since April. Over his past 52 IP, the 23-year-old has won four games and posted an eye-popping 2.76 ERA, 1.17 WHIP and 7.62 K/9. Miller's success is largely due to his maturation mentally. Earlier in his career he tried to overpower hitters with his mid-90s fastball. This year, he's purposely decreased his heater's velocity to keep the ball down in the zone. That coupled with his increased confidence in his curve and change has coaxed numerous ground ball outs (44.4 GB% since May 1). More impressively, even on off days, Miller's ability to pound the inner-half of the plate with his fastball has worked wonders, as shown against Seattle on June 16 (7 IP, 1 ER, 2 BB, 2 K). Walks will be an occasional bugaboo, but Miller, who's ranked ahead of No. 2 anchors Dan Haren and Tim Hudson over the past 30 days in Y! leagues, is very capable of upper-tiered No. 3 numbers through September. If it weren't for his horrific April (9.12 ERA, 2.38 WHIP) he would be universally owned.

Now that Dontrelle Willis is relishing 12-hour bus rides in the low minors, Detroit's "Tidy Cat" is primed to shine in the Tigers rotation. A deceptive tosser, the rookie hurler throws an assortment of pitches consistently for strikes. Jim Leyland summarized his arsenal best, recently telling mlive.com, "He moves the ball to both sides of the plate, throws the breaking ball when he's behind in the count and has a 92 mph fastball with late life to it." Galarraga's refined control over the past month has led to bountiful quality performances (30 IP, 3 W, 3.60 ERA, 1.07 WHIP, 6.0 K/9, 2.40 BB/9). Because his low-90s fastball sinks precipitously, he induces abundant groundball outs (46.2 GB%), an excellent sign a sub-4.00 ERA is sustainable. The 26-year-old has bedded Lady Luck in recent weeks (.199 BABIP since May 18) but he has enough plus tools to post respectable totals if his fortunes reverse. Given Detroit's surging offense, the "Tidy Cat" will shock the fantasy world with 12-15 wins.

The only thing more frightening than those new Cheetohs commercials is Greinke's ballooned ERA. Since May 23, the Royals hurling highness has failed to win a game and notched a 6.09 ERA and 1.58 WHIP. The reason for his troubles: a venomous mixture of homers allowed (1.74 HR/9) and walks (4.94 BB/9). Incompetent owners will point out that his seven shutout innings versus Arizona on June 13 ended his slump. But the seven walks he issued in that contest, along with his .246 BABIP in June prove he's been unbelievably lucky. Eventually, the free passes and long-ball vulnerability will skyrocket his ERA over 4.00. Greinke's bravery in conquering depression is praiseworthy but if he doesn't refine his curveball's command soon, he could force his owners to seek psychological consultation. Greinke, who attracted Jason Bay, Ryan Ludwick and Aaron Harang in one-for-one Y! Plus league deals this week, is someone worth shopping in mixed leagues.

If Owings wants to remain a fixture on a big league roster, he better start taking more cuts in the cage. As the Noise projected back in April, Owings' inevitable correction is in progress. In his past 19 IP, the benign Snake has tallied a ghastly 9.95 ERA and 1.58 WHIP. His susceptibility to the long-ball (1.42 HR/9 since May 30) and 35.0 LD% explain his shortcomings. Outside of his disconcerting splits, Owings has still posted three times more strikeouts (7.10 K/9 since May 30) than walks (2.37 BB/9), a positive sign he could regain some respectability. Last year, the 25-year-old experienced a similar meltdown midseason (9.55 July ERA) but reversed course after the break (3.04 ERA). With Max Scherzer lurking in the shadows, Owings will be motivated to turn things around quickly. Owners in deeper mixed leagues shouldn't cut ties just yet.

The MRSA superbug has struck the entire D-Backs roster. And the richly talented Young isn't immune. Incredibly frustrating to own, the youngster's free-swinging ways have gobbled up his batting average. In 65 June at-bats, Young has recorded just 13 hits, with no homers, four RBIs and zero steals. His impatience at the dish (24.6 K% in June), especially early in counts, has forced Bob Melvin to demote him from leadoff to sixth in the Arizona batting order. More worrisome, he's not stealing bases (9 SB pace). Yes, he's the epitome of "all-or-nothing," but Young is too talented to remain dormant forever. With his value deflated – he was recently dealt for Alex Rios and David Murphy in Y! Plus league solo swaps – sagacious owners may want to chase his services at a discount.

Young's tough guy mentality is stymieing his fantasy production. Since suffering a hairline fracture in a finger on his left hand, the Rangers three-hitter has, unsurprisingly, gone 3-for-32 (.094 BA), slicing 23 points off his batting average. Amazingly, his 0-for-17 stretch from June 11-15 was only the second time in his career he failed to record a hit in four consecutive games. Young's pain tolerance might be higher than a motorcycle stuntman's but he should have rested the injury instead of playing through it. The original diagnosis said he would experience discomfort for a minimum of 20 days, which means another week of fantasy doughnuts is on the menu. Once the finger fully heals, probably in another 2-3 weeks, Young should be back on track. The Texas shortstop, shipped this week for Jason Giambi, Kelly Johnson and Dustin McGowan in one-for-one Plus league transactions, will be a bargain basement buy if the slump persists.

No wonder Pence is mired in a deep statistical coma. Even Zeus' legs would feel like Jell-O if he logged long sweat sessions with Pence's curvaceous love buddy. Hampered by a 10-for-54 drought, the curly-haired 25-year-old has trimmed nearly 20 points off his batting average in June. According to what Pence told MLB.com this week, much of the blame falls on his lack of comfort in the leadoff spot. Based on his .232 BA, 2.9 BB%, 9.3 LD% and 51.2 GB% in that position that's unquestionably the root of his problems. Cecil Cooper officially shifted Pence back into his customary sixth spot in the order on June 17, which should help rejuvenate his bat. Hitting down in the order this season, Pence has registered a .317 BA with seven homers and an 8.9 BB% in 145 at-bats. With his comfort level back to normalcy, it's smart to acquire his services at a clearance price. This week in Y! Plus league solo deals Pence was swapped straight up for Robinson Cano, Ervin Santana and Brandon Lyon.

Upset you don't have a forum to express your disdain for drafting Joe Borowski? Do you question why on earth you're not a fantasy expert? This is the place for you to vent your thoughts, tirades and frustrations. Can you bring the noise?
Having a roommate from Cleveland has numerous downsides, but the one positive I can think of is watching Cliff Lee pitch. A dry look at the numbers, which you present, points to the impending implosion which you predicted. Watching him pitch paints a different picture entirely. Since his nine inning shutout performance at Toronto, Lee has had two good starts, two poor starts, and one mediocre start. But after watching his performance at Texas last week I finally became convinced that he's the real deal. A cold examination of his line (5 IP, 9 H, 2 BB, 6 ER, 8 K) would lead one (you) to believe that the end is near. Watching that game though showed Lee hitting his spots like it was April. The Texas commentators even remarked several times about clear strikes (proven by their nifty strike-o-meter graphic) that were called balls. At least two of those calls were with two strikes and two out, and after which Texas scored runs. Had his final line showed the more accurate hypothetical line (7 IP, 7 H, 2 BB, 3 ER, 10K) you would have made him a "strong buy" instead of a "strong sell." That being said keep driving his price down, cause I'm buying.– Sam, New York, NY
Noise: Sam, does your roommate hold you hostage with "Drew Carey Show" reruns? Or bump Bone Thugs-n-Harmony tunes – "Thuggish Ruggish Bone" is a Noise high school throwback classic – while cruising around the N-Y-C?
Brad, how can you honestly call Cliff Lee a "Strong Sell" in all leagues with the schedule he has coming up? Even dropping numbers can't compete with the easy month he has on the way. Dodgers, Giants, White Sox, Tigers. That at least 4 more W's he should be able to rack up before facing Tampa Bay. –Matt, North Attleboro, MA
Noise: Matt, not sure what cave you've been hibernating in since April, but with the exception of the diminutive Giants and possibly LA, a schedule featuring the White Sox (5.6 runs/game in June) and Tigers (winners in 8 of last 11) is hardly "easy." If Clifford wins all four, C.C. Sabathia will still have a Cleveland zip code come August.
You could say that any pitcher on any given day was the victim of inconsistent umpiring, as Sam argued. But, regardless of Lee's unfortunate luck, the Noise is still selling. Although his command was nearly impeccable in his last start versus San Diego, Lee's walk totals (2.63 BB/9 last 34.1 IP, 0.67 BB/9 in previous 53.2 IP) and home-run rates (1.06 HR/9 in last six) are on the rise. The noticeable cracks in his ship foreshadow a potential second-half capsize.
Because he's receiving copious run support (6.13 RS/9), 17-plus wins is a foregone conclusion. But, as I discussed last week, his ERA is likely to swell over 3.50 at some point this season. Jacoby Ellsbury, Kerry Wood and Bobby Abreu, all of whom were traded straight up for Lee in one-for-one Plus league deals this week, would be too attractive to pass up given the southpaw's anticipated downturn.
You have to be kidding me. You're actually suggesting others to pick up Cody Ross and his .226 average? Oh, and he's raised that from .210 in the last 10 games. In that same span, he has one homer and 5 RBIs while scoring a robust two runs. Oh, wait, he does have four steals, but only one in the last 10 games. I realize you have to "reach" sometimes when you write these articles as you can't look predictable as an "ANALyst," but what kind of value could a flash in the pan like this guy have in any sub-standard league? He might be OK for a home run league, or an incredibly shallow NL-only league, but other than that, the only time this guy should be mentioned is as a footnote. He has a better chance of becoming a spokesman for Gleem than he does of ever becoming a member of one of my teams.–Wingvie, Dallas, TX
Noise: Given Ross's cheek-to-cheek cheese and home run muscle, he's more apt to be a pitchman for Arm and Hammer, not Gleem.
Wingvie, obviously you struggled identifying topic sentences in paragraphs about hopscotch and kites when you were in elementary school. I didn't suggest that players like Ross had to be leaned on everyday. The point was shallow mixed leaguers that play in daily transaction leagues can benefit from streaming bats. Because Ross has historically performed well against lefties (.278 BA, HR per 11.5 at-bats), it's heady to temporarily employ his services when the matchup warrants, especially if you're in dire straits for power.
Maximizing matchups isn't some forgettable fantasy footnote. It's a strategy worthy of its own chapter.
I'd just like to thank you for your great advice on the "can't miss" prospect of the year, Max Scherzer. You, Funston, Behrens … every one of you so called experts were telling us to blow our No. 1 waiver priority on a guy who didn't even get to finish his cup of coffee, so with my wad shot, I had to sit here impotently as Justin Verlander got snatched up by someone else as of midnight last night while Scherzer packed his bags for Tucson. Thanks so much.– Eric, Chicago, IL
Noise: From the minimal details mentioned above two things can be assumed about Eric: 1) He should consult Roger Clemens about popping little blue pills to get an edge in his fantasy league, 2) Justin Verlander's recent availability proves that many of his leaguemates consult this scantily clad fantasy sports analyst for thought-provoking "insights."
As detailed in Saturday's "Weekly Rundown", the "Schiznit's" demotion is one that will benefit him and his devoted supporters in the long run. Getting him regular work every fifth day in Tucson will keep his arm and mind lively.
Unless your terribly shallow league is a keeper, Scherzer is expendable. But, understand that if Randy Johnson, Doug Davis or Micah Owings are beset by injuries or ineptitude, Mad Max will be recalled and reinserted into the D-Backs' rotation. Because he was brilliant against the juggernaut Cubs and Tigers in May (11 IP, 0 ER, 11 K) and given his spectacular 1.50 GB/FB ratio and 9.58 K/9, he's someone to keep close tabs on in the coming weeks. The potential exists for a gigantic second-half.
Stop turning my fantasy season into an Elton John farewell tour. Stick to baseball and stop being such an (expletive). If you can't do that, just stop pretending to be an expert and stay silent. I get all my good advice from Funston and Behrens anyway so feel free to continue watching your boyfriend pole dance at the Toolbox.– Caleb, Anywhere but San Francisco
Noise: Come on Caleb, we all know you've belted out a few lines to "Tiny Dancer" sloppy off two Bartles & Jaymes wine coolers. Admit it …
Unbelievably, a joke involving Dick Pole and Chase Headley from Saturday's "Weekly Rundown" has pushed a new word into the fantasy vernacular: "Noiseophobia."
Defined as "the stark fear of flowery adjectives, man-crushes and salacious language in fantasy sports discussions," this bone-chilling "phobia" has created quite a backlash.
To the roughly 40 percent of negative commenters (FYI, about the norm for most sportswriters) who take everything the Noise pens way too seriously, keep trying to plant verbal uppercuts.
For those of you who prefer physical confrontation over words, you can find the Noise at the Civic Center Holiday Inn in San Francisco this weekend celebrating the Funston/Lincecum nuptials. But keep in mind the DJ will be spinning plenty of Elton John classics …
Quick programming note: Because Grizzly Behrens and I plan to stalk Mike Aviles at the Cards/Royals game on Thursday, this week's "Noise" hit virtual shelves a day early. Look for it to return to its regular Thursday slot next week.

Since creating its first wheels in 1971, O.Z. Racing has established itself as a leader in the world's light alloy wheel industry.
O.Z. Racing produces standard equipment wheels for some of the most exclusive automobiles in the world including Ferrari, Lamborghini, Maserati, Aston Martin and Lotus. The Italian company also fills the needs of prestigious automotive equipment and bodywork companies like Bertone, Pininfarina, AMG, Hartge, Callaway, Schnitzer, Cizeta, Strosek and Giugiaro.
A look inside the high technology design and manufacturing facilities of Ruote O.Z. Racing s.p.a. in Italy will unveil what it takes to create an O.Z. Racing wheel that is a winner on the highway and the race track. Each stage of production focuses on creating a stronger, more beautiful wheel and this commitment has earned them more titles in motorsports than any other brand, including Indy 500/IRL, LeMans Series and Formula 1 Grand Prix wins as well as World Rally Championships and more. In fact, O.Z. Racing celebrated 40 years of their trademark Italian style and racing finesse in 2011 with an excellent season on the podium.
O.Z. Racing never compromises on quality and complies with all official regulations of their client countries, including the stringent rules of T.U.V., the German control office. O.Z. Racing constantly submits their wheels to multiple comprehensive testing to measure road stress. And to detect minute flaws, wheels are put under pressure in a specially designed water tank and scanned for hidden flaws by X-ray. Further examination is done by computer and electron microscopes. Finally, an anti-corrosion treatment is given, followed by a protective lacquer coating and final cleaning.
The High Light Technology (HLT) process used in the manufacturing of O.Z. Racing's Alleggerita HLT and Botticelli HLT wheels, for example, uses rollers to compress and elongate the material along the barrel of a low-pressure cast aluminum wheel to obtain the desired profile. This process, which is directly derived from O.Z.'s experience in F1, produces wheels that are extremely light and strong.
The flow forming process and the HLT technologies combine to create mechanical characteristics similar to those of a forged wheel. This permits a dramatic reduction in wheel weight while enhancing structural rigidity vs. a standard cast wheel.
O.Z.'s pursuit of excellence is not limited to advanced manufacturing processes; every O.Z. wheel design is taken for simulated laps on the famous Nurburgring circuit.
This is done with a biaxial test machine. The test simulation standard is guaranteed via a license released by the German research institute LBF Fraunhofer and is the most complete and the closest simulation of the harshest conditions wheels may experience.
The machine simulates the radial forces, the axial forces, the accelerations, the decelerations and the road surface variations that the wheels would experience on the Nurburgring circuit for 22,000 miles.
Even if not necessary for homologation purposes, O.Z. uses the experience acquired through the daily use of this machine to develop and further improve its wheels.
O.Z. Racing wheels - the combination of elegant design, the latest manufacturing technology and scientific precision creating a winning harmony between the beauty of form and the quality of function that is the trademark of O.Z. Racing.
As usual, first class service, and a great product at a great price.

News of the Day From Across the Nation
Updated 11:38 pm, Tuesday, September 4, 2012
1 Sex change: A federal judge in Boston ordered state prison officials Tuesday to provide taxpayer-funded sex-reassignment surgery to a transgender inmate serving life in prison for murder. Michelle Kosilek was born male but has received hormone treatments and lives as a woman in an all-male prison. Robert Kosilek was convicted of murder in the killing of his wife in 1990. U.S. District Judge Mark Wolf is believed to be the first federal judge to order prison officials to provide sex-reassignment surgery for a transgender inmate.
2 California fire: It could be a week before firefighters can contain a 3,600-acre blaze in the Angeles National Forest because of high temperatures and rugged terrain in thick brush that hasn't burned in a couple of decades. The cause of the fire that started Sunday in the San Gabriel Mountains has not been determined, the California Department of Forestry and Fire Protection said. A burned car was found in the area, but it isn't clear if it started the fire or was destroyed by the flames, officials said. No structures have burned.
3 Health insurance: Provisions in the Affordable Care Act that prohibit sex discrimination in health insurance apply to transgender people, according to a clarification issued by the Department of Health and Human Services. The letter adds to recent court decisions and a ruling by the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission in April that the Civil Rights Act's prohibition against sex discrimination applies to transgender people.

4 Eating the bills: A 35-year-old man tried to swallow several counterfeit $50 bills after he was caught trying to use the bogus money at a New York amusement park, authorities in Genesee County, N.Y., said. Deputies were called to Darien Lake Theme Park and Resort on Sunday after Larry Jones bought french fries with a $50 bill. Deputies say a park employee spotted the fake and called security. While being taken away, deputies say, Jones stuffed five bills into his mouth and tried unsuccessfully to eat them.
5 Shark bite: A shark bit an unidentified surfer on the hand while the man was paddling out at Melbourne Beach, Fla. Paramedics treated the bite on the beach. University of Florida shark expert George Burgess said half of the unprovoked shark attacks in the United States have been in Florida.
6 Architect's archives: More than 23,000 of Frank Lloyd Wright's architectural drawings, 44,000 photos, large-scale models, manuscripts and other documents are being moved permanently from Wisconsin and Arizona to New York City. The collection has been acquired by the Museum of Modern Art and Columbia University's Avery Architectural & Fine Arts Library, according to a joint announcement made Tuesday. The institutions will share equally in the management of the collection. MoMA will house the models; the papers will be held at Avery.

Anyhow, I think you make a giant 'Cartesian' argument here. Visual information === visual experience, there can't exist such a place in the brain where some pathways are 'recognized' and labelled "Hey, this is visual". At least if one adopts the same line Denett has. Read 'Consiousness explained'. >- Jason Fox - jwox at winternet.com I would like to turn it a little bit around. Why would banging your head etc actually trigger (excite) neuronal events? It is not neccesary and in contradiction to absence of simular and/or parallel events for other sensory systems. Why would those bangs or those chemicals only trigger receptors in the eye? In what extent is rubbing your eye equivalent to banging your head? Eye-rubbing is more site-specific, I would say, but also a complete different event. Higher pressure at the site of the photoreceptors maybe with other physical parameters of importance. But what happens after a head bang? A lot of things, but as far as I can imagine, no increase of local pressure on the retina. In conclusion, two completely unrelated (at first glance) events cause the same subjective experience. (Is it the same at all? Maybe, maybe not.) Another conclusion, it is not the actual information coming from the photoreceptors that eventually gives rise to the stars, because directly after them a lot of downstream processing occurs. Even signals 'surfing' the optic tract are not likely to be specifically excited by headbanging. So somewhere in the head a bang has the same effect as doing something like rubbing your eye. I would like to think this 'site' as being those area's that interpret visual information at some higher level. (with very diffuse borders). At least I can imagine depriving those areas from cohorent information can be accomplished by both eye rubbing and head banging and chemicals etc. Psychedelics are known to exert mostly inhibitory effects, could be consistent with a headbang deminishing all neuronal activity. All this eventually leading to pattern generating mechanisms to be triggered at will, experienced like stars. Again, if you think in Dennett's way. In this, Lee's (FROM: lkh at mail.cei.net (Lee Kent Hempfling)) balancing mechanism can explain why those mechanisms are triggered at all. Maybe a headbang isn't a headbang after all. A deterministic catalog could be: Bangs on visual cortex, on midbrain (unconsiousness), on auditory cortex, sensory cortex. Has anybody experience with which kind of headbang you would create a visual hallicunation? :-) Jeroen

Do I Know You?: A Family's Journey Through Aging and Alzheimer's
Do I Know You? is the account of one woman's slide into advanced senility. Mary Solomon moved to Florida after her husband died, and much to the surprise of her to grown daughters, created a new life for herself in a seaside condominium. Ten happy years followed, then slowly the decline began - stale cracker in an empty refrigerator, once immaculate floors turned sticky, unpaid bills, forgetfulness. Bette Moskowitz has created an unforgettable portrait of an ordinary woman at the end of her life. She asks questions many readers will eventually have to confront. How can one grow old with dignity? How can one become a parent to one's parent? Moskowitz probes the heart of our culture - one that refuses to comprehend the aging process.

Part One:
The ultra orthodox establishment in Israel is reportedly losing sleep over women's demands for equality. While the conflict has serious socio-political implications for national survival, I find myself haunted by one detail of the ultra-orthodox men's recent and reprehensible behavior in Beit Shemesh. I am focused on the act of spitting as a particularly loaded expression of men's disdain for non-compliant women.
We need look no further than the Book of Numbers, Chapter 12 to find a precedent for this unsavory form of daughter censure. When Miriam objects to her brother Moses' exclusive leadership, God's anger flares up against her. To show the uppity lady who's who, God smites her with skin-corroding leprosy. Moses asks that his sister Miriam be healed of her disease and God responds, "ve'avee'ha yarok, yarak"…. " if her father had spit," continuing with "would she not be shamed for seven days?" Miriam speaks out in protest, her heavenly father metaphorically spits in her face. Despite Moses' plea, (not to mention her brother Aaron's consequence-free collusion) now Miriam has the corroded skin of a leper. Miriam the upstart must be excluded from the people of Israel for seven days before she can show her insubordinate face again.
When I first came across this almost casual reference to an apparently familiar custom of fathers spitting in their daughters' faces, it sounded all my alarm buttons. With no discernable discomfort, our commentators agree that in the ancient Near East spitting is one of the most humiliating of disgraces, long considered a suitable response to reprehensible behavior. But there is no outrage about God's invoking this paternal practice to justify his own treatment of Miriam. In this context, I must presume that spitting in a daughter's face is relatively routine, something a man might well have seen his own father do to… say… his sister when they were both children. Very possibly, his mother endured the same at the whimsy of her father when she was a girl. When a man, or a father or a God with religious authority spits, cherchez la femme who provoked it.
And wherein lies the injustice? After all, a disenfranchised Miriam speaks out of turn. A provocative Miriam questions Moses' choice. Moses is a great and humble man. Moses is chosen by God for exclusive leadership. Though it may be but metaphor, God spits in Miriam's face much as an irate father would do and Miriam is clawing at her flaking skin.
Ve'avee'ha yarok, yarak…. The action is hypothetical ("if her father had spit") but the text repeats the verb for spit twice –yarok, yarakor spit, he did spit – assuring us this was to be no accidental emission. If this kind of projectile is not launched impetuously, then it must be calmly premeditated: Let the saliva rise like sap, then ingather, savor, swoosh, ready, take aim and fire. What follows is a daughter's shame; the ejaculating papa is aiming to demean.
2. The opening chapter of Exodus, read on Shabbat not long ago, brings us to a very different place. Pharoah's plan to wipe out the Jewish people is thwarted by two courageous midwives who refuse to dispose of Jewish newborn boys according to decree. Atypically, these two heroines are identified by name – Shifrah and Puah. And it turns out, one Midrash tells us, that Puah is none other than a defiant young Miriam in disguise.
Puah means the confrontational face and we are reminded that Miriam is a young girl who has been defying male decrees ever since childhood. Earlier on she confronted her own father, a tribal leader named Amram, who decided that under the genocidal circumstances, no man should cohabitate with his wife and thus "beget children for nothing." The girl-child Miriam lets her father know that his decree is even more dire than Pharoah's, thereby convincing Amram to relent and remarry his wife. Amram does so, inspiring all the other Hebrew men to do the same.
Miriam's activism assures that the Hebrew nation does not die out. Even so, Miriam's repudiation of her dad is not fully welcome. The code-name Puah singles her out as an agitator, a non-compliant woman to be identified by her confrontational face. The uplifted face that challenges male leadership in Numbers is the very same face that her criticized father might have… could have … and possibly should have spat upon when she questioned his leadership in the past. Despite her assurance of national survival, hers is a face that risks disdain.
So then, the fringe behavior in Beit Shemesh is not without a cultural context, arguably, it can even claim a Biblical precedent. But Miriam's story confirms that women's confrontation of the ruling establishment is just as vital a part of our tradition. Moshe Halbertal is quoted in the New York Times as saying that in Israel today, feminism is the issue that most threatens the male religious authority, posing "an immense ideological and moral challenge that touches at the core of life."
So then, spit, they will spit and Miriam-Puah will increasingly lift up her face in defiance, along with women both in Israel and around the world. The hope is that once we wipe off the adversary's spittle, we can move beyond polarization to an inclusive strategy for shared survival.

PBAF works with donors to provide scholarships, address community needs
Published 7:15 pm, Thursday, April 9, 2015
The Permian Basin Area Foundation, which celebrated its 25th anniversary last November, has helped distribute more than $60 million in grants and scholarships to the West Texas area through its partnership with more than 15,000 donors since its inception. The foundation currently manages nearly 300 charitable funds and combined assets of greater than $100 million. We caught up with PBAF President and CEO Guy McCrary to talk about the foundation, its mission and its hopes for the future.
MRT: When and for what purpose was the foundation founded?
McCrary: Permian Basin Area Foundation was established in 1989, as a community foundation to offer donors from all walks of life opportunities to participate in permanent philanthropy for the benefit of communities across West Texas.
MRT: What is the foundation's mission?
McCrary: Permian Basin Area Foundation partners with many donors to create permanent charitable funds and to provide grants to address community needs and scholarships to advance educational opportunities.
MRT: How does the foundation receive its funding?
McCrary: Permian Basin Area Foundation receives gifts of assets from donors during their lifetimes and as planned gifts such as bequests or charitable trusts. Assets that may be conveyed include checks, investments, such as stocks or mutual funds, retirement accounts, and real estate property, including oil and gas interests. Assets grow through a long-term investment strategy.
MRT: Are there any specific areas in which the foundation focuses its support? If so, why?
McCrary: Because our donors come from all over West Texas and have such diverse interests, Permian Basin Area Foundation serves to support all types of charitable purposes that are important to those donors. As a community foundation, our emphasis is on donor services. Permian Basin Area Foundation also administers a number of endowments, the grants from which are designated for specific nonprofit organizations.
MRT: What sets the foundation apart from other foundations in the area?
McCrary: Permian Basin Area Foundation is not a private foundation formed with wealth of a particular family, but a public foundation supported by many families who may have very specific passions or whose interests may span the spectrum of worthy causes. Therefore, our grants address health and community services, learning in all its forms, culture and the arts, and other charitable purposes.
MRT: What are some of your hopes for the foundation's future?
McCrary: Permian Basin Area Foundation plans to continue to grow our asset base, capitalizing on the generosity of West Texas and by prudent investments, and to continue to add to the capacity and quality of life in the communities we serve. Through our development efforts over the 25-year history of PBAF, we know that we are planting seeds the fruits from which may only be evident in decades ahead.
MRT: What is something the community may not know about the foundation?
McCrary: Permian Basin Area Foundation is structured to respond quickly in working with donors to achieve their charitable goals and to receive non-financial or alternative assets as gifts. We kindly accept gifts from anyone wanting to donate to any of our 280-plus component funds. An individual or group may do so by visiting the foundation's website at www.pbaf.org or by simply mailing in a check.
MRT: Is there a message you would like to convey to the Midland community?
McCrary: Permian Basin Area Foundation welcomes the opportunity to work with generous donors and their professional advisers to facilitate gifts or in planned giving. The foundation wishes to sustain the vitality of West Texas communities through grants to nonprofit organizations and scholarships to area students enriching the quality of life for the generations that follow.

If you're a forward-thinking business that likes to keep an eye on marketing trends and methods you've probably come across Search Engine Optimisation (SEO) before. And you'll probably know that some companies steer clear of the technical-sounding SEO.
They're missing out, though. SEO can cause a significant growth in your company profile, generate more online conversions and boost your profit margins. What company wouldn't be pleased with that? And because SEO works with measurable data you can be sure you're getting a good return on the money you spend on it.
A higher place in search engine results page rankings. More visitors clicking onto your company site, blog or social media profile. More conversions, whether you're using your site for e-commerce or to generate enquires. These can all be tracked and analysed so you know the money you put into SEO is having the positive effect on your business you were looking for.
At SEO Results4U we're an SEO company based in Birmingham who place extra emphasis on ensuring you get results and have an effective online marketing strategy in place. We've handled plenty of local and national SEO strategies for businesses looking to improve their sales figures and make new client connections.
Here are the basics. Let's say you're running a building company in Birmingham. Where are you going to find new customers? You could use the classic methods of sticking an ad in the local papers and hope for the best. Or you could rely on word of mouth and hope that regular work comes in. or, even better you could get on the internet, your business's best friend.
Most of these days look for local services online. Market researchers have suggested that 97 per cent of consumers interested in finding a plumber, builder or other local tradesman now search online. And most will start with tying something like 'Birmingham builders' or 'reputable builders in Birmingham' or maybe 'reliable builders Birmingham'.
Once the search engine has returned its results web users typically pick a site from the first page. Over 90 per cent of clicks, in fact, go to the sites listed on page one of the results. So that's where your site needs to be – and that's where we make sure you're listed.
It's partly about building keywords into your site that correspond with those search terms we mentioned above. Search engines pick these up and order sites by their relevance to those terms. And it's partly about building up your profile with social media sites like Twitter and LinkedIn.
The greater your profile, the more connections you make and that link to your website the greater your chance of sitting at the top of the search results when someone taps into Google or Bing looking for builders in Birmingham.

The newspaper "Kommersant" familiar with one of the "road maps" programme, codenamed SafeNet, the implementation of which in 2016-2018 will need about 10 billion rubles, of which more than 7 billion should come from the Federal budget.

Fly FLy Up Testing and Review
As part of being a developer you end up spending some time in developer forums. Usually those forums are part of the official site for the development tool or application. But, sometimes you end up in a fan forum that happens to have a developer forum of its own, like the one on CrackBerry.com. And sometimes when you want to find an active group of new developers, you end up in a BBM Group for new developers called Baby Steps: BB Dev.

I know exactly what you mean.
Very nice.
This was a great edition to the series. I liked the colors of the sun's rays again and that little martian roaming around was awesome. The music is still amazing and the style of this flash is still good too, I liked the things orbiting around the planet. Nice job on this episode, keep it up!
thank you
A nice edition to the series. One of my favorites here. The ever so mysteriouse mars. I like how you put that satelite and that little tiny alien in there. And I liked seeing my little earth so tiny.
Well earth had this really big black outline around it and made it look weird. And again the letters were the same color as the sunshine rays which made it harder to read. Also I had to zoom to read the sattelite bwecause it was so small.
yeah it is kind of hard to read.
There is no purpose to these!
Ok Ur hillarious ur posting the same sh** over and over with a gay song u think you're good enough to be a glock or clock group? NO! Barney bunch is better than you all... Morons...

George Knab, testifying in his own

union to have the injunctions grant

aside, admitted that prior to signing
an agreement with the union he had
worked waitresses a whole day every
other Sunday or a half day each Sun
day. One of the demands of the
striking waitresses was for one day's
rest in seven.
Although Knab has constantly de
clared that his only reason for not
renewing his contract with the union
was that they did not supply him suf
ficient waitresses, he admitted that
he still refused to sign in face of their
promise that he should have as many
girls as he could use
That he did not intend to renew his
contract a month after he had signed
the first was shown in his testimony
that he had been one of the organ
izers of the Chicago Food Exchange
association, which he said had been
formed so they could have some pro

He admitted that the hiring' of
waitresses was left entirely to his
managers and his only knowledge of
the inability of the union to furnish
him with all the waitresses he need
ed was what his managers had told
He stated he had applied for police
protection at his restaurant because
some of his patrons had been re

Now that warm weather has arrived, it's time to trade in winter's heavy fragrances for light, airy alternatives. Since heat causes fragrances to smell stronger, aromas that are fuller or woodsy can overpower (read: migraine trigger!) come summer. As the humidity sets in, opt for refreshing citrus and soft floral blends with mood-lifting notes like grapefruit, peony, lemon, and orange blossom.
To inspire your next signature scent, we sniffed around and came up with 24 summer-inspired perfumes, lotions, and body washes that capture everything from lotus flowers to lazy beach getaways. Shop them all now in our gallery!
1. Calvin Klein CK One SummerThis zesty spin-off of the '90s favorite ($52; calvinklein.com) is topped with notes of frozen lime, grapefruit, and melon.

3. Clean Summer Sailing Eau de ToiletteThis aquatic blend ($59; cleanperfume.com), inspired by the scent of the wind during an afternoon sail, will act as a breath of fresh air once the hot, sticky weather kicks in.

7. Issey Miyake L'Eau D'Issey SummerThe original Issey Miyake scent gets a sweet floral update (and an adorable starfish theme!) with notes including lotus, cyclamen, freesia, carnations, and white lilies ($74; sephora.com).
8. Soap & Glory Sugar Crush Fresh & Foamy Body WashThis citrusy body wash ($16; sephora.com) is bursting with kaffir limes, lemons, coconut oil, and vanilla musk to give your morning shower (or afternoon bubble bath) an invigorating wake up call.
9. Josie Maran Whipped Argan Oil Body ButterWe can't decide what we love more-the feathery soft texture ($35; josiemaran.com) or the subtly sweet scent.

> I've said this before: now like STET I'm in FULL GEAR to Bring The
Noise more frequently, gracing the pages of the same place these words
started, at www.publicenemy.com. I had to get a full year in,
adjusting to aligning various social media with my own homegrown
websites, which have been retooled to move into this second decade. I
had to choose a public social network to deliver me back into my own
zones. Twitter happens to be the choice because I dig getting a point
across in 140 characters in a time when "the masses" are reduced to
"them asses" by the whippings of mass distraction.
> I promise to be more frequent - but less wordy - with these
Terrordomes. And sometimes Twitter will be enough. I am an artist for
life, and although Facebook keeps me in touch with hometown folk and
the like, I choose social media for my arts and have little use for
FB. So as far as I know, I'm not on it, other than my re-tweets. Our
inter-network consists of a complex but effective system that both
represents and is in service to Hip Hop music; because of this, I have
little time to socialize on media so in many ways being on the web is
about doing my job. www.hiphopgods.com, www.SHEmovement.com, and
www.RAPstation.com are where I'm at these days, and my commentaries
henceforth may reflect this activity.
> On twitter, it's always someone brand new discovering that I'm
online. I respond to their incredulity by saying how I've always
seemed to be here, waiting in cyberspace for the crowd. People suggest
that I do a blog. I tell them I kept one for 10 years with monthly
Terrordomes. But as said I had to figure my space and time on it in
2011, and now I have. Last year at this time I wrote from CAPETOWN
South Africa and my commentary on USA hip hop jarred some of my
readers. I write what I feel and even had to textbox a losing fight
with some message board trolls who have nothing else better to do but
textspit sht from under the cobwebs of the boards they dwell under.
> This November 11th 2011 is the opportune time to redeliver what cats
have been waiting for me to deliver in a blog. I've done plenty of
watching and listening and 140 characters is no longer enough for me
to Bring The Noise.
> My twitter feeds into these Tdomes, and I promise to not make them
too long. This one will be longer than usual because it's a
reintroduction of my piece of mind.
> HEAVY Ds passing strikes home, a lesson once again, sadly, in how
the world works when it comes to time. We cannot master TIME, and we
seek constant help to figure how to manage it. Witnessing the passing
of people we know, dig, love, and respect is a tribute in itself to
the time granted to US. Still...there's pain. HEAVY D was always the
dude who put the smile on rap, not unlike DOUG E. FRESH: always
stretching out the boundaries on the rap game and putting a touch of
hip hop class to it. We are connected together by peer group, craft,
and even tragedy. Immediately I thought back to when we toured
together in 1990 and his longtime friend TROY aka TROUBLE T ROY lost
his life in a fall off an outside balcony wall at Market Square Arena
in Indianapolis. I saw HEV and his Boyz turn to men overnight in the
most difficult manner. In the 21 years since then, I've watched HEV on
TV and movies more so than in person, but whenever we did reunite he
always was the epitome of a gentleman.

thoughts about my class action lawsuit on digital payouts, my opinion

Prosecutors Using Cooperating Witnesses to Convict Defendants Accused of Lesser Charges
Technique Is Opposite of How Cooperating Witnesses Generally Work
On the sixth floor of the federal courthouse in downtown Brooklyn, prosecutors rolled out a rare and risky legal strategy in two trials that took place across the hall from each other.
In both cases, the government used cooperating witnesses—"big fish"—who admitted to more serious crimes than the charges faced by the people they were testifying against.
This is, generally speaking, the opposite of how cooperating...

Campuses celebrate Martin Luther King's legacy
Liz Lefevbre | Tuesday, January 20, 2009
Members of the Notre Dame family gathered yesterday to celebrate Martin Luther King, Jr. and his vision of community with a prayer service honoring his legacy in the rotunda of the Main Building.
The service opened with the singing of "We Shall Overcome" by members of the Notre Dame Celebration Choir and continued with Hugh Page, dean of first year studies, reading an excerpt of King's speech from the Dexter Avenue Baptist Church in Montgomery, Ala., from Nov. 17, 1957.
In the excerpt, King warned that civilization could be plunged into destruction if no one had the sense to increase love in our world.
Page acknowledged King's message of the transformational power of love to forge peace and freedom. According to King, Page noted, "Love is the matrix from which community is born."
A focus of the service was the connection between what King said in his powerful oratory and his actions, which followed through on his words.
"Martin Luther King had a spirituality that was grounded in fundamental truths with lived implications," he said.
University President Fr. John Jenkins echoed these sentiments in his own remarks.
"The reason why we remember King and are inspired by King is that his life was consistent with his words," Jenkins said. "He didn't just live great speeches, he lived the very words he called us to."
Jenkins also noted the significance of honoring King on the eve of President-elect Obama's inauguration.
He compared the two men's ability to deliver powerful oratory and said that it is especially important during this historic week to remember the higher calling to which King inspired people.
Senior Alyssa Zamora, who delivered a reading from Psalms during the prayer service, agreed.
"I think it is very important to remember Martin Luther King and his vision, especially this year with the inauguration [Tuesday]. I think we are really seeing a fulfillment of King's vision."
Second-year graduate student Danny Aijan agreed that it is important to honor the historic value that King had for the entire demographic of the country.
"Today is a celebration of our entire community," Aijan said. "It is a testament to the progress of our country."
Jenkins concluded the ceremony by saying the strength of King's messages came from the fact that King did not always tell people what they wanted to hear, but rather called people to something higher.
"The power of King's oratory was to call us to moral goodness and away from our own selfish interests," he said. "As we go forth we can remember King's power to connect what he said and did in his life. We can strive to better our lives to this higher calling."
