|Mark Lach displays a porthole from the wreckage of the Titanic.
The mystery and the intrigue of the Titanic has long been a fascinating topic to millions of people. The people of Emery County are no less interested in the Titanic. Mark Lach, Titanic expert spoke to Emery County school children and presented a program at the Museum of the San Rafael in the evening for parents on Oct. 22. Lach said he has been with the Titanic exhibit for six years and it has been filled with twists, turns and surprises. He first began with the exhibit in Orlando, Fla. just after the movie Titanic was released. Lach said he is always asked how realistic the movie was in comparison with the real life Titanic. Lach said the movie measured up pretty well except the love story portion of the movie which is Hollywood and the company in the movie recovering the Titanic artifacts was more of a treasure digging operation. In real life the effort to recover Titanic artifacts doesn't have anything to do with a treasure hunt for valuables. But, a recovery effort aimed only at recovering items from what Lach described as the debris field around the wreckage.
"I have become completely caught up in the experience," said Lach. Initially Lach wasn't going to take the job offered him to design the traveling Titanic exhibits, but decided to say yes if they called back which they did. Five exhibitions are currently touring the world. The Utah exhibit is housed in the ZCMI center and the host is the Utah Museum of Natural History. It contains a collection of 300 artifacts from the ship. Lach has been touring the world with the exhibit and has visited London and Shanghai recently.
Of the 2,228 passengers on the Titanic the night of April 14, 1912, those dying numbered 1,523. The recovering of artifacts left behind by those people of the Titanic are treated with dignity, honor and respect. On April 10, 1912, the Titanic left South Hampton with many numbered among the rich and famous aboard. Anyone wanting to be seen wanted to be on board the Titanic, it was viewed as the safest ship of its day, practically unsinkable. The interior of the ship was spacious and luxurious. Even the steering passengers in third class enjoyed accommodations much nicer than other ships of the day. The passengers were eager, many traveled with everything they owned in a suitcase and were bound for America the land of opportunity to begin a new life. The industrial age was in progress and opportunity abounded.
The Titanic was as long as three football fields and its construction bill was $12 million. The Titanic stopped at Cherbourg, France to pick up mail and then to Queenstown, Ireland where more passengers boarded the ship. People were excited about the voyage. On the night of April 14, Jack Thayer had been to the captain's party. Upon leaving he stood upon the deck and observed, "It was the most beautiful night of the voyage, the stars stood out of the sky like diamonds, it was a night to be glad to be alive."
There was enough coal onboard the Titanic to power it for two trips from South Hampton to New York City. There was a coal strike going on in England at the time and some other ships were not able to secure coal for fuel, so a lot of passengers had been rescheduled to sail aboard the Titanic. After the captain's party, Capt. Smith talked to his officers and they told him there were ice warnings and unusually high floes of ice in the surrounding water.
Radio messages at this time were mainly used for personal messages between ships. Although some messages of ice in the water were heard by the Titanic crew. Capt. Smith was the most experienced captain on the seas. He was referred to as the millionaires captain and was often recruited to sail the ships of the wealthy. He had told his wife and the White Star Line the company which owned the Titanic, that this would be his last voyage before retirement and ironically it was his last voyage. Capt. Smith had led an uneventful life on the sea until the fateful night of the Titanic. Capt. Smith had full confidence in the Titanic. The ship was built in sections and water tight compartments were designed to seal off if the ship were to sustain a hole in it. The water would be isolated in these compartments and stay afloat. The water could come into just that level and the water tight doors would shut.
The Atlantic Ocean was smooth that night and there was no moon to see icebergs. Crewman Fredrick Lee was in the crows nest on the mast watching for icebergs and reached for the binoculars to aid his watch and discovered the binoculars were not there. Lee found it hard to distinguish the sea from the sky, it was hard to look out and see icebergs. The ship was traveling at 22 knots or 24 m.p.h.. The ship was traveling fast due to a request by the White Star Line in order to promote their company so two additional boilers were started to increase the speed of the ship. So, Capt. Smith made the decision to travel faster.
With a flat ocean, no waves and difficulty in seeing, at 11:38 p.m. Lee spotted something ahead that looked like a black mask. An iceberg was straight ahead, Lee rang the bell three times and then three more times. The phone rang and they asked him if there was a problem and he said there is an iceberg right ahead and directed them to try to turn. They would try this by reversing the engines and turning the ship to the left to avoid the iceberg, but with only a small rudder at the back of the ship, turning was a slow procedure, the ship kept moving straight ahead and started to turn left. People saw the iceberg move and felt a slight shaking on the ship. The iceberg moved along the starboard side and the engines were turned off. The officers assessed the damage and reported to Capt. Smith. The men shoveling coal into the boilers were in the area where the scrape from the iceberg caused damage and water rushed in immediately and covered their ankles.
Some of the iceberg was above the waterline but the majority of it was below, the iceberg cut a hole and the rivets began to pop along the ship's exterior and the water came in. It began to fill the water tight compartments and passed the level where the ship could stay afloat. The ship's designer, Thomas Andrews said nothing could be done and the ship would sink, "It is a mathematical certainty."
The Titanic only carried 20 lifeboats with 60 person capacity. A ship called the California was near enough to see the lights from the Titanic and saw the flares the Titanic sent up, but did not come to the aid of the Titanic. The captain of the California said they saw the flares but quite honestly thought it was the rich and famous having the time of their lives. The California also did not have its radio on. The California would have had time to come and rescue the Titanic, but the California moved away. A ship, the Carpathia heard the distress signals of the Titanic on the radio and came as quickly as it was able. It took four-five hours for the Carpathia to arrive and it took the Titanic two and one half hours to sink. The people were told to put on their life jackets and the lifeboats were prepared and lowered into the water. The ship wasn't showing any signs of distress and many people did not see the need to board the lifeboats and decided to take their chances with the ship, consequently many of the lifeboats left the ship only half full. Women and children were put in first.
With the 300 foot gash in the front of the ship, the front began going down and the stern up. With the bow down and the stern up, the propellers were lifted up out of the water. The great ship broke in half with the bow down. The boilers began to explode and it was a beautiful and tragic moment as the explosions from the boilers lit up the night sky amid the cries and screams of 1,500 people.
The people tumbled into the frigid waters of the Atlantic where they froze to death in approximately 30 minutes. Some of the lifeboats went back, but very few people were picked up out of the water.
When the Carpathia arrived, it began picking up the people in the lifeboats and then returned to pluck the frozen dead from the water. Of the 113 children on board, 53 were lost. Most of the deaths were among the third class passengers. Many of the bodies recovered were buried in Halifax, Nova Scotia cemeteries.
Lach said he has heard so many of the human stories in the last six years since joining the exhibit. He said not many events can compare to the sinking of the Titanic. Lach shared his experiences on the ocean floor at the site of the shipwreck.
He traveled in a submersible for two and a half hours to reach the wreckage. "I was very excited and I did suffer from a bit of anxiety because I had never done this before. People who had already been down on the dives tried to assure me as to its safety. One other guy said 'there is no reason to have anxiety, the submersible is the cutting edge of technology.' When you start the descent the ocean is bright blue and it fades to black, total darkness. It is hot to start with and at the ocean floor the temperature drops to 38 degrees," said Lach.
The first thing Lach saw was the bow of the ship. The ship is in two pieces and a mile and a half apart on the ocean floor. The bow is recognizable as part of a ship, it landed upright. "I looked out into the blackness and the bow was towering with the anchors still hanging. I was very excited. We moved portside, by Capt. Smith's cabin and the exterior wall has fallen and we looked inside the cabin, the bathtub is still there and part of the bed and hallway. I had some very human moments. This is the site of a great tragedy and that came through to me and it comes through in the exhibition. We do not dig into the ship or destruct in anyway to get the artifacts," said Lach.
Lach showed the audience the items he had borrowed from the exhibit to bring for display. He showed the porthole from a third class deck, much smaller than the other portholes on the upper decks.
He showed a leather coin purse in remarkably good condition. Lach explained that the ingredients used to tan leather act as a repellant for the microorganisms which eat away at everything and destroy items. Any items which were encased in leather bags such as clothing, shoes, letters, money and other things are in remarkable condition for having been submersed for 92 years.
He also displayed a $10 bill from a bank in Colorado. The other item was a wooden handle from a tool. Lach also brought some of the coal from the Titanic gathered from the ocean floor. Lach encouraged the audience to visit the exhibit at the ZCMI Center in Salt Lake which is running through Jan. 8, 2005.
Lach told the story of Howard Ervin whose trunk was aboard the Titanic, but he was not. His partner Henry Sutehall, was to meet Ervin at the dock the morning the Titanic was to sail, and Ervin never arrived so Sutehall boarded the ship and carried on the trunk belonging to Ervin. Ervin missed the sailing of the Titanic and Sutehall met his death onboard. Ervin went on to lead a full life. Lach was filled with such tales of the people aboard the ship.
He said a leather satchel had been found and it was rolled up, upon unrolling it revealed 65 small glass vials with corks and paper labels containing fragrance perfume samples. Ado Sawfel was a perfume manufacturer and intended to sell his perfumes to the shops in New York. He survived. "The stories of these people are the same as you and I," said Lach. "There are only two survivors left from the Titanic. I met one lady, Melvina Dean who is 92 years old and lives in England. She was 7 weeks old aboard the Titanic. Her father placed 7 week old Melvina in a canvas bag and handed her to her mother and 4-year old brother onboard the lifeboat and then he stepped back. Her father perished. Melvina's mother told her the story and through her whole life she was always known as the little girl aboard the Titanic."
Lach explained how safety measures for sailing ships have changed since the Titanic disaster. Safety flares now mean something and are clear signs of distress. Ships are required to have enough lifeboats for passengers. Radios must always be working and turned on so distress signals will be heard. The Coastal Guard has been established to watch for ice floes and to render aid to ships in distress.
People have been concerned with whether any artifacts should be picked up at all from the site. Lach explained that all artifacts are treated with dignity and respect, recognizing that many people lost their lives onboard the ship.
Most of the people dying on the Titanic were on the surface of the water. Very few in fact, went down with the ship. The crewmen working the boilers shoveling the coal to keep the electric lights lit were the only ones actually going down inside the ship.
The stern is unrecognizable as it went through twisting, turning and the explosions, but one propeller is visible and is 23.5 feet tall.
The story of the Titanic will be told and retold throughout time. The fascination people have with the story can never be satisfied.
There is no answer for the profound tragedy, too many things that just went wrong. Too many things to be overcome for a different outcome. Whatever the reasons, the stories will not die, the people will not have died in vain. They will live on.
Capt. Smith went down with his ship standing on the bridge staring straight ahead.

Kenya: Working to rebuild lives after post-election violence
More than 12,000 people are back on their feet, earning incomes from selling farm produce and small businesses, as they rebuild their lives in the aftermath of Kenya's 2007 post-election violence.
Over the past few years, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) has been working with communities and the authorities in the western Rift Valley region, a previous conflict flashpoint, to improve incomes at the household level and reduce tensions over scarce resources.
- The project aims to restore and expand livelihood opportunities for communities badly hit by post-election violence.
- The project is funded by the Government of Japan for a total budget of US$ 694,044.12.
- It helps small businesses to recover by providing people with basic entrepreneurial knowledge, technical skills and capital.
At least 1,200 people were killed and 600,000 displaced from their homes in mass violence following the disputed presidential poll.
As part of the reintegration process, thousands of formerly displaced people received seeds to grow food for household consumption and sell what is left over for profit. 1,200 people trained in fish farming, and some 500 unemployed women and youth learned to run their own small businesses, making furniture and running grocery shops and pre-cooked food stalls.
Through this Japan-supported Post-Elections Livelihoods Recovery Project, UNDP also helped to clean and rehabilitate a dried-out dam, improving water access for 1,600 people who use it for their domestic and agricultural needs, and to support more than 1,000 heads of cattle.
With a capacity of approximately 550,000 cubic meters, the Ray Farm dam now provides water throughout the year, helping to bring stability to the area.
Local chief Francis Kirwa says the dam has also contributed to new opportunities for community members. "Youth who were used to perpetrate the violence during elections are now kept busy in the fields doing small-scale farming and taking care of animals," Kirwa says.
To help reduce the chances of future conflicts from escalating, UNDP worked with some 100 people from different ethnic groups in the area to improve their negotiation skills and monitor potential incidents, based on which they engage community leaders and the local police to intervene.

Bringing it back to the old style of gameplay, Ball Revamped IV: Amplitude is definitely a notch above the others in the series. I hope you enjoy.

Cowlishaw: Texas A&M's decision to 'coddle' Johnny Manziel 'not a good thing'
SportsDay columnist Tim Cowlishaw answered reader questions during a live chat Tuesday. Here are some highlights:
Will Johnny Manziel hold a Heisman Trophy before he gives his first interview?
Tim Cowlishaw: That's a great story and a rather amazing thing. And although many of you will tell me it doesn't matter, it's not a good thing. I suspect they may allow him to talk after the Missouri game, but who knows? I don't think we need to coddle college students to this degree. It adds an unnecessary crazy element to a great story.
How unfair is it that he's making 5+ million dollars by the way?
Tim Cowlishaw: The "he" in this question refers to Mack Brown. And it's not unfair at all, really. The idea is to win football games so your team can put people in seats, sell sponsorships, make money. They're still printing money at UT. Now this won't last forever if the team disappoints and can't win conference championships, I realize. But to your specific question about "fairness," it's not unfair at all.
Is it fair that Texas gets to play on Thanksgiving every year?
Tim Cowlishaw: Fair? Is that some sort of recruiting advantage to get to play on a Thursday in November? I don't think this is even an issue.

Remarks by UNEP Executive Director on Forests and Ecosystems in Kenya
Nairobi, 5 November 2012 - His Excellency, Mwai Kibaki President of the Republic of Kenya; Minister: Noah Wekesa (Forestry and Wildlife, co-host),
Ladies and Gentlemen,
Thank you for inviting me to address this dialogue on Kenya and its ecosystems.
Your Excellency,
UNEP attaches the highest priority to the sustainable management of these natural or nature-based assets and is delighted to partner with the government of Kenya on its ambitions including as they relate to the 2030 Vision strategy.
Only last week the UNEP Deputy Executive Director Amina Mohamed signed a Memorandum of Understanding between Kenya and UNEP to further deepen, amplify and extend that cooperation.
Part of that agreement covers assisting Kenya in implementing its commitments and realizing its opportunities related to multilateral environmental agreements.
Many of these including the Convention on Biological Diversity which just ended its biennial global meeting in Hyderabad, India, link directly to the sustainable management of forests and freshwaters alongside Kenya's rich, highly diverse and world-famous biodiversity.
It is a positive sign of the times that at the end of the Biodiversity Conference, nations including many developing ones agreed to double their support towards sustainable management and use of the natural world in order to achieve what are known as the Aichi targets by 2020.
Your Excellency, Honourable Ministers,
In the past a nation's forests, freshwaters, soils and other key ecosystems were often seen as assets to effectively mine rather than manage.
Understandably in a world of a few million, perhaps even a few billion these natural systems seemed limitless and endlessly renewable.
But in a world of seven billion people, rising to over nine billion by 2050 the world is fast understanding the limits to this kind of over-exploitation.
Limits and tipping points that challenge the fundamental ability of society's to operate and to function, let alone thrive and prosper.
Limits and tipping points that challenge also the world's ability to achieve and to surpass the Millennium Development Goals and the Sustainable Development Goals now planned post 2015 as a result of the recent Rio+20 Summit.
UNEP's work on the inclusive Green Economy-an initiative Your Excellency in which Kenya has been a partner and a pioneer-is about addressing the economic drivers that have put the planet and its people on an unsustainable path.
Our work together on the Mau forest complex, in which the latest economic analysis has been brought to bear underlines that this ecosystem and its services is worth $1.5 billion a year to Kenya in respect to generating river flows, carbon storage and for example moisture for the tea industry.
This has proven a tipping point in a positive sense bringing in donor countries, the private sector and communities in common cause to restore the Mau and in doing so providing a beacon of sustainable management to other countries.
Other countries such as Brazil, Colombia and India are themselves carrying out similar analyses as part of The Economics of Ecosystems and Biodiversity-an initiative hosted by UNEP and one which has illuminated not only the wealth of nature to nations, but also its pivotal role in eradicating poverty.
But there is much more to do if all the 'water towers' of Kenya are to be brought back to full and productive health and play their part in lifting millions out of poverty and powering the sustainable development of East Africa.
Later today we have the pleasure of releasing the findings of a new report, which assess the socio-economic contributions of a range of forest ecosystems to the Kenyan economy.
Your Excellency, Honourable Ministers perhaps just one poignant fact from this study.
It finds that over a ten year period the benefits of standing and fully functioning forest ecosystems outweigh the economic contributions of deforestation by a factor of 4.2-in other words the value of intact forests and the services they provide are worth four times what is generated from clearing them for timber or other uses.
I would also like to mention that today's dialogue and workshop has been funded by the UN-REDD Programme-a collaboration between the UN's Food and Agricultural Organization; the UN Development Programme and UNEP.
UN-REDD-reduced emissions from deforestation and forest degradation-has grown out of the UN climate convention negotiations as a way of financing forest conversation in order to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and combat climate change.
Today UN-REDD Program, launched in 2008, currently supports 44 developing countries, with 16 countries receiving direct financial and technical support.
During 2012 Kenya's Ministry of Forestry and Wildlife has been advancing what is called its REDD Readiness Road Map en route towards accessing funding for carbon forest projects and putting its forests in the forefront of combating climate change-a threat and a challenge that puts everyone on the planet in the front line, but perhaps most especially in Africa.
This UN-REDD work is also bringing in many civil society partners such as the Green Belt Movement, founded by the late, great Wangari Maathai and the National Alliance of Community Forest Associations-all vital partners if the economic and environmental but also the social benefits and opportunities are to be fully realized.
I am sure over the next few days, this dialogue can further strengthen the cooperation between UNEP and the government and many other partners in support of a sustainable Kenya.
We are not starting from scratch-UNEP's 40th anniversary celebrations in 2012 mark four decades of cooperation between the environment programme of the UN and our host country.
The best may be yet to come.
as a result of your staunch support nationally and internationally through the African Union and at the Rio+20 Summit in June Heads of State and nations agreed to strengthen and upgrade UNEP.
In New York, at the 67th session of the UN General Assembly that process is underway and there are positive signs that this outcome will be honoured by member states.
It raises the real prospect that when UNEP convenes its next Governing Council in February 2013 it will do so with Universal membership for the first time in this institution's history while providing a stronger forum for policy-making by the world's ministers responsible for the environment.
I am sure those nations attending their first UNEP Governing Council/Global Ministerial Environment Forum will take note of Kenya's wondrous wildlife and the efforts now underway to achieve a sustainable century here-not just in terms of forests and other ecosystems.
But in respect to the other evolving achievements ranging from policies promoting the expansion of geothermal in the Great Rift Valley to your government's unflinching support of the largest wind farm planned in sub Saharan Africa near Lake Turkana.
Thank you

great shoe!!
"I bought this shoe for my little sister and she loves it! Didn't expect it to have fur inside as well, but that made it even better for winter season. It is very comfortable! The only thing I would suggest is probably buying a size smaller. I usually can do 7.5 or 8, but I can fit in these shoes as well which was a 7."

Full of dirt
Posted by 4707880978385483830 on Nov 25, 2012
i LOVE chia seeds and eat them all the time. I had to order these as my staple brand was out of stock for months. I got 2 bags of these and I've only been able to choke down half of 1 bag because they are so gritty/sandy/full of dirt. Quality Control missed the boat on these. I'm afraid to eat these now since I never know what bite will be a tooth crunching surprise. So disgusting! Waste of money
So much soil and dirt in my chia seeds!
Posted by 5545428765654329546 on Nov 07, 2013
I trust Now Foods most of the time, but like the reviewer below, I found so much dirt in my pack. I usually mix them into my smoothies and oatmeal, so I didn't realise the amount of soil in this until my mum showed it to me because. You can see them clearly because she soaks hers in water and all the dirt sinks to the bottom. And it's A LOT of black soil, not kidding...it's disgusting knowing how much of it I've ingested. Now I'm not too sure what to do with my 2nd pack.
Posted by 4649863342218949236 on Nov 26, 2013
Love chia seeds but stay away from these!!! We got a few bags.. The first bag had some crunchy bits but second was way worse!! Did not noticed it till halfway through and finally (at the end of the bag!) dumped it out to see and managed to separate about a tablespoon's worht of pure dirt/earth!! Not sure how much of the dirt we ate, trying hard not to think about that! We tried a couple other brands without problems so do yourself a favor and avoid this one.. Unless you like eating dirt..
Dirty chias
Posted by Jaaniin on Oct 05, 2013
It had so much dirt in it that you don´t want to eat it. I really hope that it was just this packet. There was some kind of mud, could see it, feel it and even taste it. It´s dirtyest chias we have ever seen. I did send mail to Now foods about this product.

Contains sand-like black specks :(
Posted by 4810570341646987769 on Feb 27, 2014
This is my first purchase of chia seeds. I soak my seeds in water and drink it throughout the day. I noticed black specks which I initially thought was just black chia seeds. However, when I crushed it, it resembles sand particles and tastes bad. Very disappointed. Upon looking at some other reviews, I realised I'm not the only one with this bad experience.
Good deal!
Posted by Reviewer1886198 on May 20, 2009
I had read about Salba, but you have to order from the manufacturer, and nowhere around where I live carries it. Of course they want you to commit to auto shipping to get a better deal, but it's not as good as iherb.com's price. We add to smoothies, oatmeal, soup, whatever. It really has no flavor. Sometimes I add to water. Whatever you add it to it makes it thick, because there is a natural gel coating on the seeds that absorbs water and keeps you from being hungry as soon as usual.
'Husks' present
Posted by 5535338423176274373 on Dec 13, 2015
Compared to the Raw Chia Seeds with a mixture of black and white Chia seeds which I bought previously, this packet of White Chia Seeds have a lot more 'husks' like thing which remains in the mouth after chewing the seeds. I prefer the Navitas Naturals Organic Raw Chia Seeds.
Posted by Reviewer2013200 on Apr 21, 2013
There were too many stems - way more than any other brand I've tried. So, I couldn't eat them.

I grind these in a coffee grinder and as a result have seeds which are delicious and very useable. I only use about 2 tablespoons a day or a little less and it is a great help with the IBS symptoms. They are tasteless and when ground (which is very easy to do) have a nice texture. I usually mix with my Keefer but also can mix with simply anything.

Researchers and industry professionals met at the University of Connecticut's Storrs campus today to discuss how counterfeit electronics pose silent threats to transportation, communication and national security systems in the U.S. and abroad.
Programs used to prevent hackers from stealing information or spreading viruses have been around just about as long as computers themselves. But UConn professor of engineering innovation Mohammad Tehranipoor, who helped plan the conference, says only over the past ten or so years have researchers realized equipment too can be a target.
"The brain of the electronics systems are what we call chips. And they can be found everywhere. In daily life we deal with computers, laptops and cell phones. And all of these chips can be compromised."
Tehranipoor says as design and manufacturing operations have moved overseas, recycled or cloned chips made to appear functional have begun showing up in a variety of electronic devices from car-locks to helicopters. He says sometimes faulty chips give equipment shorter or less functional life-spans. In other cases, they allow adversaries to access and distribute confidential information from remote locations.
"You're dealing with individuals that do the counterfeiting in their home all the way to the state level — they're very difficult to detect. And we're talking about how to prevent them from getting into the supply chain."
Tehranipoor says the UConn conference included sessions on new low-cost technology like electronic "fingerprints" that could determine authentic chips from counterfeit ones — much like security threads embedded in U.S. currency. The event is sponsored in part by the U.S. Army Research Office.

"I love this sandal. The heel height is perfect yet feels like I'm wearing a higher heel. I've been looking for a lower heel because I am so tired of trying to walk in 4 inch heels, sick of platforms and wedges. I decided I won't do it anymore, but try to find a nice shoe with a reasonable heel! This is the one! It's very comfortable and easy to walk in, but gives a nice line to the the foot. You can dress it up or down, wear with jeans or a dress."

COLLEGE STATION, Texas — Here's when it finally became apparent the force of nature we know as Johnny Manziel could in fact be stopped, when that strange, fantastic combination of talent, confidence and occasional luck malfunctioned.
Third quarter, down by two touchdowns but driving. Texas A&M's quarterback dropped back, spotted a receiver downfield and fired. Travis Labhart wasn't really open – a few yards away, Malcome Kennedy was – but this was Johnny Football.
WATCH: Manziel's jaw-dropping scramble
REPLAY: 'Bama player jukes Manziel on 73-yard pick-six
Instead, he underthrew Labhart a tad, enabling Alabama's Jarrick Williams to catch up. The pass hit the safety in the back, popped high in the air – and strong safety Vinnie Sunseri picked it off.
Seventy-three yards later – a circuitous route that included a whiffed tackle by Manziel – Sunseri reached the end zone. Top-ranked Alabama led 35-14, and it was all over. The game – the final was 49-42 – and maybe, Manziel's shot to win another Heisman Trophy.
RELATED: Manziel steals NFL QB's celebration
That last part shouldn't be true. Not after Manziel's performance, which was uneven but still spectacular. As it turns out, Manziel can't quite do it all.
Just almost.
As 87,596 watched at Kyle Field, Manziel bedeviled the Crimson Tide early, running and passing the Aggies to a quick 14-0 lead, shades of A&M's fast start in last November's victory in Tuscaloosa. He finished 28 of 39, for 464 yards passing, and accumulated 562 total. He threw a 95-yard touchdown pass to receiver Mike Evans midway through the fourth quarter and another to Malcome Kennedy with 15 seconds left to make the final moments enthralling.
And it's only one loss, with a lot of season left. The statement made by Alabama was emphatic. The Crimson Tide's offense mauled A&M's defense. And yet Manziel almost, almost kept up. Texas A&M's 628-yard total was the most Alabama has ever allowed. Even with a number of Heisman moments, a couple of mistakes on plays also will be etched in our memories.
Sometimes, they work – like in the first half, when Manziel uncorked a far more ill-advised pass than the third-quarter interception, and when it seemed he might actually be unstoppable.
It was 14-all early in the second quarter, and a shootout seemed on the way – especially after Johnny Football happened.
On third-and-long, no one was open. Pressured, then in the grasp, Manziel spun away. Backpedaled. Spun. Backpedaled some more. And then unleashed an ill-advised pass, a heave off his back foot far down the middle into a hornets' nest.
And of course, an Aggie emerged with the football.
The play took 13 seconds of the game clock, and all anyone could do was shrug: That's Johnny Football.
"That's just a Johnny Manziel play," said Alabama linebacker C.J. Mosley, admitting it was frustrating.
But that drive ended four plays later when Manziel threw into the end zone. It was a much better decision, but a much poorer pass (though the receiver's route wasn't the best, and Manziel later hinted there had been a miscommunication). The overthrown lob was easily intercepted, and it was a critical turning point.
"That's on me," Manziel said. "It's either our ball or nobody's. I know that, and I know better than that."
Alabama needed four plays to go 80 yards for the lead. And the next time Manziel tried his luck, it had gone bad. He had a shot at Sunseri after the interception, and Sunseri recognized it.
"He's not a hitter," Sunseri said. "He was going for the ball, and I knew he was going for the ball."
Which makes perfect sense. We all know – and were reminded so many times Saturday – that when Manziel has it, anything can happen.
"He played Johnny-like," Sumlin said. "That's about the way to put it."
It was almost, but not quite good enough.

Cool from West Side Story is featured in Asian F, the third episode of Season Three. It is sung by Mike.
He sings it as his audition piece for the role of "Riff" in West Side Story. The McKinley Titans, including Puck, Azimio, and Shane, are the back-up dancers in the performance. It is revealed later that he got the role of "Riff," as he wanted. Before the performance began, Beiste, Emma and Artie remind him that there is singing in the musical, assuming Mike can only dance, but once he finished, they had realized how much Mike's singing has improved.

Navy SEALs Training DVD
Follow the Navy SEALs series DVD of training as 83 men voluntarily put their bodies and minds in jeopardy to become a member of the elite unit known as the Navy SEALs. Chosen out of 1,500, they train, run, fight, dive, and swim for their lives 24 hours a day, knowing that the only easy day was yesterday. The training of Navy SEALs DVDs show you just how much goes into the preparation of the men who protect our great nation.
The training of Navy SEALs series DVDs follow the 83 men of Class 234 selected for Basic Underwater Demolition (SEAL-BUDS) training have the toughest six months of their lives in sight. While they've been selected from over 1,500 applicants, only 32 of them will actually become U.S. Navy SEALs. In the training Navy Seals DVDs you go behind a structured world of sacrifice designed to force BUDS students to the limits of their physical and emotional endurance. Learn advanced SEAL training tactics and get to know the men of Class 234 as you follow them to their extreme physical and emotional limits.
Welcome to Buds
Meet the 83 men of Class 234 who have been accepted into BUDS, the training program that forms the Navy SEALs, one of the most elite fighting forces in the world. Watch as they tackle Phase One, a physically grueling course designed to weed out all but the toughest and most dedicated. This is only day one of 26 weeks of unimaginable physical and emotional strain. Most will quit within the first weeks.
It Pays to Be a Winner
Phase One continues...the men are determined to survive the physically and mentally rigorous program and remain injury free. New students, injured in previous classes, are added to Class 234. With Hellweek looming, they learn basic lessons of survival, hoping to be one of the few to become a Navy SEAL. By the end of week one, half the class is gone.
Two Weeks and a Long Day
By the second week of BUDS training, many of the students have already dropped out. The remaining men still have 24 weeks of hardship. Students who are failing physically are put before the review boards where instructors will decide if they are dropped for lack of performance or rolled to the next class for medical leave. Each week they must improve, they must run faster and swim farther. Individuals do not survive, teammates do. Hellweek, the harshest part of training, is still on the horizon.
For 24 hours a day, six days in a row, students are put through a demanding set of obstacles designed to test their commitment to becoming SEALs. Cold, wet, hungry and sleep-deprived, the men struggle to prove their resolve as each test is followed by a more difficult one, pushing the psychological limits of even the toughest competitors. Hellweek is the ultimate eliminator ending with only 19 contenders.
The Only Easy Day was Yesterday
Underwater testing begins in both the ocean and pool in what may be the most difficult test of all. The men are immersed with hands and ft tied and competing at underwater swimming, overcoming their panic and fear. They undergo advanced scuba and re-breather training and the SEAL instructors weed out those who just can't make the grade.
The Homestretch
The men who've made it this far persevere -but still a few are pushed past the limits of their endurance. Witness the last months, weeks, days and minutes discover which of these courageous souls graduate and become a U.S. Navy SEAL!
Buy the Navy SEALs series DVD Set, and watch in awe as the candidates put their heart and soul into the torturous regimen of the elite heroes.

Mayor Mike Williams explained the growing problems with coal trucks speeding through the town. He suggested acquiring a radar gun to check the speed of the trucks. Following a discussion concerning private citizens using a radar gun and taking photos of the trucks to be sent to the companies, the council decided to have Mayor Williams contact each of the company who own coal trucks coming through Emery. "We will contact each company and request suggestions about what to do concerning this problem," said Mayor Williams.
Mistie Christiansen gave the council an update concerning the youth city council. "Our last meeting was a good one, we had lots of kids. We met with the beautification committee and it was decided that the youth will weed around the dumpster at the cemetery and the rest area in preparation for the July 24 celebration. The youth will host a dance in conjunction and it will be held on July 21," said Christiansen.
"The youth group will sell the Emery history books as a fund raiser during Pioneer Days. It's hard for many of the kids to get to Castle Dale to help with the lamb fry, so we will be doing another fund raiser and donate that money to the summit. On Aug. 18 we will be having a movie in the park," concluded Christiansen.
Council person Corinne Dalton reported about the recreational vehicle park ordinance. "We are still waiting for a decision from the attorney. We will have that at the next meeting to act on," said Council person Dalton.
Amy Sundstrom reported concerning the beautification committee. "We contacted Pam Juliano of Congressman Matheson's office. She said to begin looking for grant money from UDOT. They will help with lights, planters, anything to fix up Main Street," Sundstrom stated.
It was also noted that Emery has a sandstone monolith to be used for a city marker. The marker will be placed in the rest area. Sundstrom has contacted Bunderson Monuments for estimates for the marking of the stone.
In other business conducted by Emery Town, it was decided to prepare to apply to the CIB for the funding to build a fire station and town hall for offices. The paper work needs to be submitted by Dec. 1 to be considered during that funding cycle.
The next Emery Town council meeting will be held Aug. 8 at 6 p.m.

Domestic Furnishings
Washboards, armchairs, lamps, and pots and pans may not seem to be museum pieces. But they are invaluable evidence of how most people lived day to day, last week or three centuries ago. The Museum's collections of domestic furnishings comprise more than 40,000 artifacts from American households. Large and small, they include four houses, roughly 800 pieces of furniture, fireplace equipment, spinning wheels, ceramics and glass, family portraits, and much more.
The Arthur and Edna Greenwood Collection contains more than 2,000 objects from New England households from colonial times to mid-1800s. From kitchens of the past, the collections hold some 3,300 artifacts, ranging from refrigerators to spatulas. The lighting devices alone number roughly 3,000 lamps, candleholders, and lanterns.

Spanish Colonial Revival Chair
- Description
- The production and exchange of ceramics, metalwork, textiles, and other crafts were part of the economies of the Southwest and Mesoamerica centuries before the arrival of Africans, Spaniards, and other Europeans in the Americas. While central Mexico was almost immediately connected to the global economy after the Spanish conquest in the early 1520s, New Mexico and other frontier areas remained isolated and relatively self-sufficient until the mid-1800s. Once New Mexico was incorporated into the United States however, wagon trains and then railroads brought in new English-speaking residents and tourists, unsettling the economies of the established Hispano and Pueblo communities. By the early 20th century, a new livelihood emerged for local artisans—the creation of crafts for the tourist market. The tourist market demanded products that were as much about stereotypes as they were about authenticity. This Spanish Colonial Revival chair was made by Hipólito Sisneros in 1945 while he was a student at the Taos Vocational Educational School. Using a decorative technique called chip-carving, Sisneros crafted this chair in the style of New Mexican furniture from the early 1800s. After the 1930s, many Hispanics and Native Americans were enrolled in craft schools like this in an attempt by the state of New Mexico to support local craft cooperatives that targeted Anglo-American consumers.

When Will Prophecy Cease?
Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass
away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will
pass away. For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is
imperfect; but when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass
away. When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a
child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up
childish ways. For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to
face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I
have been fully understood. So faith, hope, love abide, these
three; but the greatest of these is love. Make love your aim, and
earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may
prophesy. For one who speaks in a tongue speaks not to men but to
God; for no one understands him, but he utters mysteries in the
Spirit. On the other hand, he who prophesies speaks to men for
their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. He who speaks
in a tongue edifies himself, but he who prophesies edifies the
church. Now I want you all to speak in tongues, but even more to
prophesy. He who prophesies is greater than he who speaks in
tongues, unless some one interprets, so that the church may be
For two Sundays and two Wednesdays now I want to talk about the manifestation of the Spirit called prophecy. Today we will ask if there is a spiritual gift of prophecy still functioning or whether it died out with the completion of Scripture. Next Sunday I hope to ask what this gift of prophecy is and how it should be exercised.
A Link Between Gifts of Healings and Prophecy
Let me try to show you an interesting connection between gifts of healings (that we have been talking about for two weeks) and the gift of prophecy (that we will take up now for two weeks). Let's start with last week's text. James 5:14–15 says, "Is any among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord; and the prayer of faith will save the sick man." I suggested from this text that when the elders come to pray for a sick person, God sometimes gives them a gift of faith (1 Corinthians 12:9; 13:2) so that they can pray a "prayer of faith" for healing, and when they pray that kind of prayer, God heals the sick person. (He may also heal without that gift; but the promise of the text is made to "the prayer of faith.")
In other words, I picture the elders standing or kneeling around the bed of the sick person praying and waiting on the Lord for some manifestation of his Spirit that would minister to this person. As they pray, God may stir up in them a strong faith that healing will be given. When he does this, their prayer becomes the prayer of faith.
Now what is really happening here? How does God stir up faith like that? It seems to me that faith must always rest in some revelation of God's will. So the gift of faith seems to always involve some reminder or revelation of what God intends to do. 1 Corinthians 12:9 and 13:2 tell us there is a gift of faith that can remove mountains (" . . . if I have faith so as to remove mountains, but have not love . . . "). But for faith to be faith and not sorcery or enchantment there must be some ground for the faith to rest on. And I take that to be the revelation of God's will by the Spirit.
What this means is that for the elders to pray the prayer of faith in James 5:15, they must have a gift of faith, and to have a gift of faith, they must have some kind of revelation of God's intention about the sick person in which to have faith. And one way of describing the revelation of God's intentions is to call it "prophecy." In other words, the possible link between gifts of healings and prophecy is this: healing is promised to the prayer of faith (James 5:15), the prayer of faith is based on the gift of faith (1 Corinthians 12:9), this faith must have a solid object or basis, and that basis is the revelation of God's will concerning the sick person which we could call a "prophecy."
A Parallel in 1 Timothy 4:14
Now I admit there is some guesswork going on here. James does not say explicitly that there was a prophecy given to the elders at the bedside of the sick person. I'm inferring that something like a prophecy happened from the nature of "faith" implied in the phrase "prayer of faith." But the reason I feel confirmed in this inference is because the same sort of thing happened when the elders gathered in 1 Timothy 4:14.
In this text Paul speaks of a role that the elders had when Timothy was set apart for the ministry. Paul says, "Do not neglect the gift you have, which was given you by prophetic utterance when the [council of] elders laid their hands upon you."
Notice three things:
- First, the elders were gathered around Timothy to lay hands on him — a kind of ordination service at the outset of his ministry.
- Second, during that gathering God gave a gift of prophecy to one or more of the elders to speak about Timothy.
- Third, in accordance with this prophecy God gave Timothy a special gift for his ministry that he should now stir up and not neglect.
In both James 5:15 and 1 Timothy 4:14 the elders were gathered around someone and God gave a gift through the elders for the person they were praying over — the sick person in James 5 and the young minister in 1 Timothy 4. The fact that the ministry gift for Timothy came through a prophecy from the elders in 1 Timothy 4 at least opens the possibility that the healing gift for the sick person in James 5 also came through a similar gift of prophecy.
Focusing on the Gift of Prophecy
And so last week's focus on gifts of healings does lead to our next focus on the gift of prophecy. The whole issue of knowing when and where and how to pray for healing, the issue of knowing when to ask God for some sign or miracle, the issue of making ministry decisions when you have exhausted your ability to apply Scripture and two courses of action seem equally wise — all these issues raise for us the question of the role of prophecy. Does God still speak today? Does he still give the gift of prophecy today? If so what is it like? How should we use it?
In 1 Corinthians 13:8 Paul says, "Love never ends; as for prophecies, they will pass away; as for tongues, they will cease; as for knowledge, it will pass away." So the question I want to try to answer today is: What time is referred to when Paul says, "Prophecies . . . will pass away"? Has it already passed away or will it pass away at some future time?
The next two verses (9–10) give the reason for why prophecies and knowledge will pass away: "For our knowledge is imperfect and our prophecy is imperfect [literally: For we know in part and we prophesy in part]; but when the perfect [or: mature, complete] comes, the imperfect [or: partial] will pass away." So the reason prophecies will pass away is that a time is coming when the partiality and incompleteness of the gift of prophecy will be replaced by perfection and completeness and wholeness.
When Will Prophesy Cease?
When is that time?
When Scripture Is Complete?
One respected tradition says that the coming of perfection or completeness refers to the coming of the day when Scripture is complete, that is, when the last inspired writings are gathered into the Bible and the canon of Scripture is closed. Let me quote from one of these writers whom I highly respect:
When Scripture is completed, then the church will have
revelation thoroughly suited to her condition on earth. Our
completed Bible is perfect in the sense that it is utterly
sufficient revelation for all our needs. Paul is saying, "When the
sufficient comes, the inadequate and partial will be done away.
Tongues will vanish away, knowledge [and prophecies] will cease at
the time that the New Testament is finished."
So when verse 10 says, "When the perfect comes," they say it means, "When the perfect New Testament comes." Is that what Paul means by perfect?
When Christ Returns?
The other view says that the coming of the perfect refers to the experience of perfection at the return of Christ.
So you see what is at stake in these two interpretations. If the coming of the perfect in verse 10 refers to the finishing of the New Testament, then the gifts of prophecy, tongues, and knowledge have all passed away because that time came 1,900 years ago. But if the coming of the perfect in verse 10 refers to the second coming of Christ, then the natural understanding of the text is that the gifts will continue until Jesus comes.
Testing the Options by the Rest of the Passage
Let's test these two suggestions by the rest of the passage.
"When I Became a Man"
In the next verse (11) Paul says, "When I was a child, I spoke like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child; when I became a man, I gave up childish ways." Paul compares the experience of partial prophecy and knowledge to the experience of childhood, and he compares the passing away of these gifts to the experience of adulthood. That comparison doesn't seem to decide the issue for us.
"Face to Face"
Let's go to the next verse. Verse 12: "For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood." Now this is really helpful in making our decision! Here in verse 12 Paul is describing what verse 10 refers to, namely, "when the perfect comes."
I want to make sure that you see this. Notice the contrast in verses 9 and 10 between "our knowledge is imperfect" (v. 9) and "when the perfect comes, the imperfect will pass away" (v. 10). Then drop down to verse 12 and notice the same contrast in the second part of the verse: "Now I know in part" contrasts with "then I shall understand fully." So verse 12 is clearly describing the coming of "the perfect" referred to in verse 10.
Now does the description of the coming of the perfect in verse 12 fit with the second coming or with the completing of the New Testament?
Let's take the two halves of the verse one at a time. First it says, "Now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face." Is it more likely that Paul is saying, "Now before the New Testament is written, we see in a mirror dimly; but then when the New Testament is written, we shall see face to face"? Or is it more likely that he is saying, "Now in this age we see in a mirror dimly; but then when the Lord returns, we shall see face to face"? In the Old Testament there are half a dozen references to seeing God "face to face." Revelation 22:4 says that in heaven we shall see God's face. 1 John 3:2 says that when Jesus appears, we shall be like him for we shall see him as he is.
My conclusion is that the contrast between seeing fuzzily in an old mirror made out of metal and seeing face to face is not a contrast between first century spiritual knowledge and the knowledge we have from the New Testament today, but rather it's a contrast between the imperfect knowledge we have today in this age and the awesome personal knowledge of God we will have when the Lord returns.
"Then I Shall Understand Fully"
The second half of verse 12 points in the same direction. It says, "Now I know in part [the very same words used at the beginning of verse 9]; then I shall understand fully, even as I have been fully understood." Now is this a contrast between before and after the New Testament or before and after the second coming?
It's hard for me to imagine Paul or any of us saying that after the New Testament was written, we now in this age understand fully, even as we have been fully understood. This surely refers to knowing in some sense the way God knows us — not omniscience; it doesn't say we will know everything. But we will "be freed from the misconceptions and inabilities to understand (especially to understand God and his work) which are part of this present life . . . [Our knowledge] will contain no false impressions and will not be limited to what is able to be perceived in this age."
So my conclusion on this question is this: Paul is saying that prophecies will pass away not when the New Testament is completed but when this age is completed at the second coming of the Lord from heaven. That's when "the perfect comes" (v. 10). That's when all speaking and thinking and reasoning like a child will be put away (v. 11). That's when we will see "face to face" (v. 12a). That's when we will "know fully even as we have been fully known" (v. 12b).
What Difference Does This Make?
Now what difference does this make for us? It means that the spiritual gift of prophecy has not passed away, but is meant for the good of the church until Jesus comes. Which leads us to the question: What is it? Is it what I do on Sunday morning — preaching? Is it a premonition that something terrible is happening in Guinea so that we can pray earnestly even before we get word from the missionaries? Is it a word of Scripture that God brings to your mind in such a way that it has tremendous effect in bringing someone to Christ? Is it God-given guidance for the leaders this afternoon as to which of the contractors would build the best building?
That's what we will dig into next week. But to keep you from feeling like this is not quite relevant for you, look in closing at 1 Corinthians 14:1. "Make love your aim, and earnestly desire the spiritual gifts, especially that you may prophesy." If we are on the right track this morning, that command is still binding on all believers. You should earnestly desire the spiritual gift of prophecy. Do you? And if you say, "I don't even know what it means," do you want to know what it means? Do you think that when you ask God for bread, he will give you a stone? Or do you trust him enough to say: If this gift would help me build up people and honor you, show me what it is and give it to me please?

Category: ACCESSORIES
As of today, new mobile phone laws have come into effect disallowing drivers from holding their phone while driving. If you want to have a voice call or use your smartphone's GPS, you'll need to rely on a cradle or a Bluetooth car kit. Below you'll find some smartphone cradle and Bluetooth solutions that are ideal for your car.
TomTom Hands Free Car Kit
TomTom is offering the kit in two versions: one specifically for iPhones, and another that caters to microUSB devices, such as Android and Windows Phone smartphones.
The hands free car kit features an advanced noise and echo cancellation system, and also offers the option of adding an extendable microphone to the sun visor.
Belkin iPhone/iPod Mount ($39.98 from Dick Smith Electronics)
This mount from Belkin has been designed for use with Apple's iPhone and Apple's iPad, but Belkin claim it's an "adjustable universal cradle [that] fits most mobile devices." Its arm can be rotated to accommodate portrait and landscape view.
Kensington SoundWave Amplifying Car Mount ($39.99)
Kensington's SoundWave is a sturdy iPhone solution that accommodates your existing phone charger. It'll also amplify your iPhone's speakerphone without influencing its battery life, and comes with two mounting solutions.

Dear Governor Leavitt,
It's time to reconsider your proposal for a San Rafael Swell National Monument. It's clear that there is a groundswell of resistance to the idea in Emery County as well as the rest of Utah. The local people simply don't want your office and people in Washington, D.C. imposing a monument any more than those in Kane and Garfield Counties wanted Clinton to uproot their livelihoods.
Secrecy was apparently important to you because you wanted to present the proposal to President Bush before local opposition could organize and be heard. When we complained, you promised the proposal would not be sent to the president before we had the chance to discuss this with you. Then you went ahead and forwarded the proposal anyway before meeting with us. We've been blindsided twice. Once when you announced the proposal and again when you forwarded it to President Bush.
After you forwarded the proposal to the president you came to Castle Dale for a public meeting. You were very clever and brought about 25 cabinet members to applaud your arguments, because the great majority of those present were not receptive. You dodged questions like, "Why can't we have a vote on the issue?" You couldn't endorse a public vote on the monument when you and the people in Washington, D.C. had already decided there will be a monument.
You and the commissioners are trying to scare us. "When Al Gore becomes president, he'll slap a monument down, so we better do it first." We should do now what we don't want Al Gore to do later? You said, "We can put language in the proclamation that preserves grazing, motorized access, and other traditional uses." We know that similar language in the Grand Staircase Escalante National Monument didn't prevent road closures and a war on grazing. Why do you think SUWA says a monument in the Swell will be a win-win step for them?
You said, "We will develop an open process for the monument that will be used by all subsequent presidents." You really want us to believe that a future Clinton/Gore-type president would hesitate to reject a Bush administration process?
You never explained how it is right for a Republican president to grab a 620,000 acre monument when you, yourself said it was wrong for Clinton to grab monuments of similar sizes. Doesn't Congressman Hansen's bill call for Congressional approval of any monument over 50,000 acres? Don't you support that legislation?
We're sorry you and the Washington, D.C. folks apparently feel the need to use us locals the same way Clinton and Gore used the people of Kane and Garfield Counties. We know that national media fluff and photo ops are really tempting. Clinton couldn't resist them either. In the coming months, the sight of similar photo ops is going to make us in Emery County want to be sick. I just hope the press stops long enough to hear us when we say, "We don't want the monument."

Type: Bug
Status: Closed
Priority: Critical
Resolution: Fixed
Affects Version/s: 2.0, 2.1
Fix Version/s: FRONTEND
Component/s: Navigation
I've found that after the changes to the navigation block for
MDL-27809, the categories listed in the Navigation block's "Courses" list come and go. Before that change, all the top-level categories were listed. Now, if I'm in a course then some categories will be missing. I haven't been able to figure out exactly what configuration options are necessary to make this come and go, but I have been able to create a test setup that causes this problem:
Create this hierarchy of categories and courses:
Category 1
- Category 1.1
- Course 1.1a
- Course 1.1b
- Course 1.1c
- Category 1.2
- Course 1.2a
- Course 1.2b
- Course 1.2c
- Course 1a
- Course 1b
Category 2
- Course 2a
Turn on $CFG->navshowcategories and $CFG->navshowallcourses, and set $CFG->navcourselimit to 5.
Now, from the /course/index.php page or other site pages, you'll see all the courses and categories listed in the Navigation block. However, if you navigate to course 1.2c, You'll find that Category 2 no longer shows up in the Navigation block.
The expected behavior is that Category 1 and Category 2, as the top level categories, should show up on every page. Or there should at least be a "Show all courses/categories" link to indicate that some categories are hidden.
If I revert commit e26507b361969c3e1f1f, then I find that it behaves as expected, and all the categories are shown when I'm in course 1.2c.

Attaching screenshots of what the Navigation block looks like when replicating the issue. Notice how in "navigation-on-site-page.png", Category 2 shows up, while in "navigation-on-course-page.png", Category 2 is missing entirely, and all categories are expanded but there is no "Show all courses/categories" link to indicate that the list is truncated.
I'm not sure if this is a bug or by design. There may be performance issues related to this.
Hi guys,
I have just been looking into this, it is unfortunately a regression caused by the navigation performance changes.
The problem appears to be arising because of the bulk loading of courses being impacted by the limit.
I'll continue to investigate a look for a solution.
Putting this up for peer-review now. I will also ask Apu to look at this especially.
Just noting that these changes do have performance implications the previous loading of courses we incomplete and on average to correct it I have had to introduce an additional 2 DB queries.
Please note that in fact I introduced more queries but by tiding up existing procedures I have managed to cut out nearly as many as I introduced.
ok, this looks good to me.
Its a large patch but i couldn't spot a thing wrong.
The large test , is that in MDLQA tests?
sending this up for integration as per Sam's request (after peer-review).
Hi Apu,
Thanks for looking at that for me!
The tests aren't QA tests unfortunately, they are my attempt to summarise the situation with a set of tests that focus on the three settings.
In hindsight (what a wonderful thing) I really dislike those settings, they are at best confusing, and I think in most cases more trouble than they are worth.
But what is done is done, I would like in the next release perhaps to refactor the generation code to reorganise it and straighten out these settings at the same time.
I think I had been with Moodle just a couple of months when I wrote the navigation and for sure I have a much better understanding now!
Anyway thanks for checking that out, I will bring this to Eloy's attention when I get a chance.
After chatting a bit about this... and being paranoid about performance and complexity we have agreed to delay it after release, to be able to, mainly, test it under big simulated environment, with all roles, dispersion of enrolled courses...
So this is going to be reopen, aiming for some time to revisit and test it. Thanks Sam!
PS: Also, to avoid forgetting it, I proposed to reconsider why the hell we need to show all that "recursive" information there. There is already one UI to navigate/search courses and categories, and also, showing activities here is highly arguable. Surely this needs broad discussion. My basic proposition is to have one "simplernav" setting taking rid of all that (cat/course/section/activity) complexity.
Thanks Eloy - just noting that I will revisitng this immediately after the release of 2.2 and aiming to get it in and then opening an issue for master only to see those settings tidied up and investigate navigation use and whether we can cut things back now.
Ok I've now updated this after the 2.2 release and have fixed one minor regression.
Just need to test this on a site with thousands of courses in hundreds of categories
I've tested this out on Moodle 2.2.2, as an alternative to the fix for
MDL-31986, and can report that it works well for my case.
I would however propose either changing the behaviour, or adding a config option to change the behaviour for the following situations:
- When on a course category page: do not auto-expand the courses node of the navigation. The main view is what most likely interests the user, the expanded courses node is just extra noise in most cases.
- Do not auto-expand the courses node when in one of "my courses".
On a Moodle with a lot of courses and categories, an expanded courses node of the navigation block makes the navigation block so tall that any blocks underneath it will be harder to reach (e.g. require scrolling to reach). Perhaps a config option to never auto-expand the courses node would be helpful.
Increasing the priority of this issue as there are several duplicates now.
I'm seeing what looks like this problem in 2.2. I take it (looking at the duplicates) that this is the same issue?
Hi Howard,
There is a good chance that what you are seeing is this issue, and it will be affecting 21, 22, and master.
It will lead to course and categories to be intermittently missing from the navigation as the user moves around the site, or in some cases missed altogether.
The problem is stemming from overzealous limiting, there is a navigation fix landing this week to improve the categories navigation and I hope to have the fix for this issue in next week (waiting presently for the weekly release).
Hi guys,
The solution for this issue is quite large and complex, because of this I have decided that it is best to implement this on master 1 or 2 weeks in advance of backporting it to Moodle 2.2+ and Moodle 2.1+.
This way we can weed out any bugs or performance issues before this gets into the stable branches.
I've create
MDL-32267 to see it integrated on the master branch, and MDL-32268 to backport it to 2.2+ and 2.1+ when we are ready.
I have the master branch changes up for peer-review now.
MDL-32367 is marked as a duplicate of this, does the work on this issue deal with the "student should not been shown the courses he is not enrolled in and cannot enroll himself manually" part of that issue? I'm looking for a way to "hide" courses from users that they can't see or self-enroll in (see also MDL-23548). MDL-23548 has a little patch that can show/hide courses based on the show_enrolme_link function in the selected enrol_plugins and guest access settings for each course.
I'm just trying to figure out if these changes will have any impact toward getting something like that to work.
Many thanks, this is now available in all the repos (git & cvs).
Closing, ciao
somehow this issue was closed incorrectly when processing all the integrated issues this week. (sort of most voted and current in integration filters mix). Apologies for the confusion, reseting to previous status!
Ciao, Eloy
I'm having a problem where the courses aren't listing under the Navigation block at all.
The navigation block itself is edited to show "Everything" and on Site Administration -> Appearance -> Navigation I have it set to show all courses and all categories. I tried modifying the number of courses to show to various counts and that did not help the issue.
Are there any other settings on a Moodle portal that would result in the Navigation block not displaying any courses, even for administrators?
Hi Daniel, what version of Moodle are you using?
Also just to clarify, you're not seeing any courses at all in the navigation block?
Hmm that is a curious issue.
Perhaps you'd mind checking/trying a couple of things?
1. Check the server logs for the site in question, just to make sure that there's nothing nasty happening that you're not seeing reported.
2. Enable navshowallcourses if it is not currently enabled. This forces the navigation to load everything it can.
3. Question: Is the admin enrolled in any courses?
4. Question: Do students see the courses populated, and do they see the courses they are enrolled in under my courses?
The following you could try if you are able to edit the source code file.
1. Open up lib/navigationlib.php, goto line 1435, you should see a call to $DB->get_records_sql, add the following immediately after that:
echo "
Total course count: ".count($courses)."
";
That will cause the number of courses to be displayed when you view a page.
Open up the front page in your browser and log in as an admin, find the line that reads "Total course count: ", if its 0 then we've found the problem otherwise we know its deeper.
Hope some of this helps.
I'm closing this issue since there are commits already in git with this issue number. If any problems remain, please create separate issues. Thanks

Breast masses in adolescent girls are usually benign.
- is the most common discrete breast mass in the adolescent female (70%).
- As many as 15% of patients may have multiple fibroadenomas.
- On examination, these masses are smooth, mobile, and round.
- They may occasionally become larger just before the patient's menstrual period.
- They are well-circumscribed lesions that can be enucleated from the surrounding tissue at surgery. A true capsule is not typically present.
- If the mass has the characteristics of a fibroadenoma, then it may be monitored with repeated careful physical examination every 1-3 months. Alternatively, an excisional biopsy may be performed if the patient and family request it.
Juvenile, or giant, Fibroadenomas
- are unusually large (>5 cm) and are termed giant when greater than 8 cm.
- The rapid increase in size is what usually brings the patient in to be seen.
- They are benign, do not appear to become malignant or to be familial.
- Management consists of surgery. Histologically, juvenile fibroadenomas have more cellularity than typical fibroadenomas. They should be differentiated from cystosarcoma phyllodes.
Cystosarcoma phyllodes tumors
- manifest as a painless breast mass. Most occur later in life (the third or fourth decade).
- Often the patient will have a history of sudden enlargement of a previously stable mass. The mass may be dramatically large; thinning of overlying skin and increased vascularity of the area may be present.
- Ultrasonography cannot usually be used to distinguish between a fibroadenoma and a phyllodes tumor. That differentiation lies in histologic examination. Phyllodes tumors have a more cellular stroma with nuclear atypia and mitotic figures.
- Usually quoted as 90% benign and 10% malignant. There are reports that state as many as 25% of phyllodes tumors may be considered malignant.
- The management for either benign or malignant phyllodes tumor is wide excision with a margin of normal breast tissue. Malignant phyllodes tumors rarely metastasize to the axilla. Axillary dissections are indicated for patients with palpable lymph nodes.
Pseudoangiomatous Stromal Hyperplasia (PASH)
- is a rare type of benign mesenchymal proliferative disease of the breast.
- Histologically, it is composed of a proliferation of spindle cells with inter-anastomosing vascular-like arrangement in the interlobular or interductal stroma.
- Clinically, PASH is usually found in premenopausal women as a discrete, painless mass, which is firm and movable.
Trauma to the breast, iatrogenic or blunt, may result in a palpable mass.
- The trauma can cause fat necrosis, or breakdown of the adipose tissue. This can lead to a "mass" of scar tissue.
- To complicate the diagnosis, women may or may not recall the inciting event. In addition, women may examine a traumatized breast and discover a mass that was present prior to the event.
- Upon physical examination, the mass is sometimes indistinguishable from a cancer. Ultrasonography, mammography, and even MRI of the breast may not be able to discern the difference, leading to biopsies in concerning masses.
- Key radiologic features (thought of as pathognomonic for) of fat necrosis include peripheral calcifications, fibrotic scar, and echogenic internal bands. However, these may also be consistent with breast cancer. Findings of lipid cysts or ultrasonographic evidence of fat necrosis may assist in the decision to monitor a palpable abnormality or perform a biopsy.
Fibrocystic changes of the breast
- are very common in the adolescent population. Physical examination findings may reveal discrete breast cysts or diffuse small lumps throughout.
- Breast tenderness and heaviness may be experienced by the patient, especially before her menstrual period.
- The patient is advised to avoid caffeine. Evening primrose oil (1 tablespoon at bedtime) may be used to alleviate breast pain associated with fibrocystic changes of the breast.
- A single dominant lump that is present for several months likely requires excisional biopsy.
- Single dominant cysts may be aspirated in an outpatient setting. Cytopathologic examination should be conducted if the fluid is bloody.
- Fibrocystic changes are histologically classified into 3 categories: nonproliferative changes, proliferative changes without atypia, and proliferative changes with atypia. Patients with proliferative changes and/or atypia have a higher risk for future malignancies.
- There is no specific data available in adolescents that would describe their risk of developing breast cancer. It is well described in adults.
- There is a 1.5-2 fold increase in women with proliferative fibrocystic disease (described histologically as moderate or florid hyperplasia, sclerosing adenosis, or papilloma with a fibrovascular core).
- There is a 4.4 fold increase in patients with atypical or lobular hyperplasia. This risk increase to 9 fold with a positive family history.
- Screening guidelines for patients with a history of atypia on breast biopsy findings are still evolving. In adults, current recommendations include yearly physician examinations and yearly mammography.
Malignant breast disease is uncommon in children and in adolescents. Risk factors for breast malignancies include history of familial breast cancer, previous benign disease associated with malignancy (ie, fibrocystic changes with atypia), other malignancies, or irradiation to the neck and chest areas. The most common malignant mass in the breast of a child or adolescent is a metastatic lesion.
Cautionary Note: In very young and preadolescent children, a biopsy should be considered with extreme caution because the developing breast bud may be irreparably harmed, even with a needle aspirate. That said, discrete masses should almost always be removed regardless of age.
