Better Now Than Later: Turning reflection into action
I know what you must be thinking: Is this a reflection on my reflections? Even I didn't think that level of cognitive self-evaluation was actually possible until … well, until I reflected on it. But as much as I may harp on how many times Teach For America uses the term "reflect" in a single day, I also realize that there's power to honest reflection.
And not just the kind of power that moves you emotionally, but the kind of power that helps you do your job that much better.
Unfortunately, the first time I realized this was during my second year, in the midst of preparing for the first state-exam and was knee high in paperwork from my school, when I was awarded the opportunity to partake in the Sue Lehmann Award process. I had hoped this would have happened a bit closer to June—you know, when classroom parties, field trips, and the allure of summer seem to make everyone at your school that much happier. But alas, the Sue Lehmann process arrived just in time for state-testing, Spring Break, and a roster of students with their hormones in full swing.
There was a lot of reflection involved in the Sue Lehmann process. How much reflection? I was one pair of white gloves, some black shoes and white socks away from changing my name to "man in the mirror."
However, if I had only realized the potential this reflection could have on how I was currently working sooner, it would have made a huge difference.

Canada says Europe banks need to be recapitalized
OTTAWA (Reuters) - Canadian Finance Minister Jim Flaherty said on Wednesday some European banks may need to be capitalized as regional officials explore ways deal with the deepening euro zone debt crisis.
"Some of the European banks need to be recapitalized. That's been clear for a long time," Flaherty told reporters in Ottawa.

i had gm syncromesh friction modified, quality short shifter, and shifter bushing in my gsr and it was like so firm and smooth. hope i can get the same feel in this car.
This is a discussion on >>Tranny Fluid Info and Experimenting Thread<< (Amsoil, Redline, USC, etc.) within the General Maintenance, Troubleshooting & Accidents. forums, part of the Tech & Modifying & General Repairs category; Originally Posted by Wrinklechops So what you're saying is, your girl knows how to drive better than you?

Look in the Cobb short shifter or the Kartboy. Both are quality and you won't be disappointed. Make sure you get the bushings too though.
And if you want even crisper feeling shifts, look into some bushings...a "clunk killer" kit (Turn In Concepts for example) or some Whiteline bushings like I have. Check my link in my sig.
It looks like the Cobb bushings are the same price as the Kartboy bushings, so it's up to you. I personally like the blue color Both are quality products though.

Well I finally switched out my tranny oil with 20,600 miles on it. I used the Redline LW and 7590 NS mix in it and was still workign fine at 20 plus. Sending in the oil samples (one new one 20.5K) to be analyzed and hopefully should haev results within a weke or so depending on how quick the USPS is.
On a positive note I took a pick of the oil samples at about 36 hours of sitting time and even now 3 days past NO oil separation, which some on NASIOC found with the USC.
Attached some pics as well.
I mixed 2x redline lw and 1.7x amsol sev gear in a 1gallon jug, its been sitting there for 2 days. and its starting to seperate.
kinda scares me, not sure if this would cause problems later on?
btw this stuff is so thick compared to honda mt fluid lol.
i use mobile1 syn on everything and it works just fine for me...

"Why do penguins take smoke breaks?"
Well here is my blackstone results for my fluid. Again it was a mix of 2 Qts LW shockproof and 1.7 of Redline 75w90 NS. I took a brand new sample as well as one with 20.5k miles on it.
Unfortunately the results were not what I had hoped for Iron and Silicone was high in it. Viscosity was slightly high and flashpoint slightly low but not insanely far off.
Also my car was bought used with 38K on it initially so no idea if the tranny was abused before hand.
I have an 06 WRX with 43000 miles, 5th gear has developed a light grind and I was planning on changing my tranny fluid and diff fluid hoping to ease the issue. Now thats why im in this thread, I need advice on mixture. I live in san antonio texas and its been in the 100s here during the day, but in the winter mornings its in the 30s. What do you guys recommend I put in my tranny? and the diff?
Blackstone results:
The missing part of the equation ofcourse, is what levels a clean 0 miles sample would yield.

Maintenance schedule and poke in the eyes:
Unless your manual transmission has a filter in it of course those numbers are going to be high. Unlike your engine or an automatic transmission there is no filter on a manual transmission. I would be looking more a shear weight. Also all these people make up these tranny concoctions seem to forget the two differentials in the transmission as well. Thats why you have to use a GL-5 rated gear oil. Just because USC makes your tranny "feel" better doesn't mean over the long run it could cause premature wear and damage to the differentials.

Next Up EXTRA- Jason Derulo
Jason Derulo is making it official with Jordin Sparks in his new track "Marry Me."
"I found a very special lady," Jason gushes in a recent interview with Ryan Seacrest. "And this song is talking about how amazing that moment will be when I finally do get down on one knee and propose."
And considering he's talking about one day popping the question, we had to ask, how does Jordin feel about the song?!
"I was actually pretty speechless [when I heard it]," Jordin admits. "He wrote it about a year and a half ago, so it was still pretty early in our relationship. But he played it in the car and I just kind of like froze because it was so pretty. It's just so beautiful he writes from life experiences."

6 days ago i recieved 1 and 1/2 syringes of juvederm in my lips. I have had the typical bruising and swelling and totally expected that. That is listed by the makers of the product and I knew to expect it.
I did not expect the drastic loss of fullness once the swelling went down. I love the look of my lips as far as they are beautifully smooth. But wow the size is gone they look like my regular lips with a ever so slight pout and smooth. That's great but not what I was told and not what i paid $800 for. If I pay that kind of money I expect more results. I almost feel cheated and cheated more by the makers of the product than by the doctor. The doctors can't promise anything, they go on experience and what the makers tell them. I was told what I recieved was a lot compaired to other patients. My doctor told me most start with one syrnge. I go tomorrow to try and get what I went for.
I don't know how much more to do or am I wasting my money and this will always happen once the swelling is gone? How much does it take to look pouty? Please help me. I was so excited and now I feel like I want to cry, it has been a huge let down.

Redistribution static into OSPF
I have a very basic question. Needs your input. If i want to send Static route into OSPF environment. Then which of the following options would work. Unfortunately i cannot test it..so wondering if someone has tested this environment can suggest.
ip route 22.214.171.124 255.255.255.248 18.104.22.168
route ospf xxx
1. redistribute static subnets
2. redistribute static metric-type 1 subnets
3. redistribute static metric-type 1 subnets route-map static-to-ospf.
If I want to redistribute static route to be send into OSPF environment. Then can i use Option # 1, 2 and 3. I know option # 3 needs to have a route-map created for static route. But Option 1 and 2 what's the difference. Why would i need metric-type 1 as mentioned in Option 2. But Option # 1 would work too. Kindly reply ..
It's probably typo - a small correction in your post.
"if i use static route command in ospf with metric-type 1 then the cost will remain the same" -- actual the cost would vary with type 1 as the route traverses more links. With type 2 the metric would remain the same.
To redistribute IBGP routes into another process you need to configure the command 'bgp redistribute-internal' under the BGP process. However, it's not really recommended to use this option due to some problems that might arise out of this.
BTW there's nothing stupid about your questions and I believe they are valid concerns.
By default the IOS will not redistribute a route learned by IBGP, even if there is a route map which is permitting it. It is possible to change the default behavior if you really want to. The command to do this is:
bgp redistribute-internal

January Gessert Denies Reggie Bush Romance
The woman rumored to have come between Reggie Bush and Kim Kardashian held a press conference on Wednesday (March 31) to prove her innocence.
January Gessert – who was spotted leaving Bush's home on March 17th - told reporters, "I'm shocked, frightened and crushed that leaving a friend's house could be so misconstrued to turn my whole life upside down."
"I can't believe people and the media will go to such great lengths to create a completely fabricated story to boost ratings," added the 27-year-old.
Coming to January's rescue was none other than scandal attorney, Gloria Allred, who explained, "The truth is that January did stay at Reggie's house on March 16, but she stayed there with two other friends, [one male and one female]. January and her friends watched a movie, while Reggie packed for New York and slept alone. January left early in the morning. She has been the victim of someone else's need for drama."
Allred added the two have been friends for five years.

Oak Grove resident joins field of 10 other candidates
Jim Knapp, a board member of the Oak Lodge Water District, says he has had enough of what he calls 'the devious deception of the county commissioners.'
While speaking to the Boring Citizen Planning Organization, Knapp reminded attendees that he is a chief petitioner against the way the commission is handling the Portland-to-Milwaukie light rail project.
His petition, which would be on the Sept. 18 ballot, would require the commission to put any decision for rail projects to a vote of county residents before committing funds.
He believes decisions should not be made without citizens advising the decision makers.
Knapp says he has testified to the commission and asked questions, but has received no responses.
'What I have been finding out,' he said, 'is that the commissioners want to spend money on a Portland agenda that doesn't fit Clackamas County.
'The commissioners have said their roads would go back to gravel. We'll I'm a real infrastructure guy. That's what I do (as a private concrete contractor). They want to put us in light rail cars and ship us off to Portland.'
But Knapp said he was appalled when he found out (from the Cascade Policy Institute) the light rail project would cost at least $205 million per mile.
'For that price,' he said, 'we could buy big fancy rock-star buses for 200 years.'
Choosing to pay for part of that project, Knapp said, is typical of many other commission decisions.
'I've had enough, like you have,' he told the Boring CPO group. 'There are no goals; there's no master plan that I can lay my hands on; and I don't know what direction we're going in. It's incredible. I couldn't run a business more than six months the way this county is haphazardly run.'
Outside of the meeting, Knapp told The Post he has gained special skills during 35 years of business experience. Since 1995, he has served on the Oak Lodge Water District board balancing budgets and handling public funds.
In 2005 and 2006, Knapp served as chairman of the Citizen Advisory Board to the Clearwater project for Sewer District No. 1 (Kellogg treatment plant near Milwaukie).
At that time, the advisory committee convinced the three-person commission the Clearwater project would cost too much money - and the direction changed to a crossover pipeline to take the stress off the Kellogg plant.
In his campaign to take a seat on the commission, Knapp continues to accuse the current commissioners of mimicking Portland, but he says that will ruin the county's livability.
'(The commission) wants high-density housing and light rail,' he said, 'and that brings crime down the tracks. If you look at history, Rockwood is a classic example of high-density housing with a lot of crime. And they wanted to fund it with urban renewal money.'
Knapp said using urban renewal money (which is a portion of property tax revenues) requires essential services (sheriff, fire, libraries and schools) to add fees to raise enough revenue for normal operations.
'And that makes people pay twice,' Knapp said.
He often quotes a friend who uses the term 'Portland creep.'
'Portland creep means bringing their agenda to Clackamas County without us voting on it,' he said. 'It keeps creeping farther and farther into the county.
'When I was out gathering signatures, people would tell me, 'We don't want this. This is why we moved out of Portland.' '
Knapp said the commission wants to bring light rail to Oak Grove and then build a train station there as well as an $8 million frontage road to take business traffic off McLoughlin Boulevard. He also said the commission wants high-density housing built with public funds within one-half mile of the train station.
'(The commission) has been very crafty and very deceptive on all these Portland-agenda plans,' Knapp said. 'But during the open house meetings, about 75 percent voted no. They turned it down.
'But the commissioners won't give us any answers (why they are pursuing the projects). That's why I am running for county commissioner. I haven't heard a legitimate reason why they're doing what they're doing. They clam up, and won't talk. You can't sit down and have a substantive conversation with any one of them. That's what's driving me nuts. It's like they're trying to hide it from the citizens.'
Knapp is on the May 15 primary ballot for Position No. 3 with Martha Schrader and Jeff Caton.
For more information, call Knapp at 503-789-9492.

Okay, here's the drill:
Sauté 1 medium onion in a liberal amount of olive oil, say 1/4 cup, until the onion is soft. Then add a cup of Arborio rice and stir until the rice turns translucent and you can see the center of each rice kernel. Then start stirring in water, 1/2 cup at a time. You'll use about 4 cups total, but that is only a rough estimate. While you're adding the water, adjust your burner so the rice and water simmer. (If your burner is too high all the water boils off and the rice doesn't cook.) When the rice is done, add cheese such as grated Parmesan, fresh goat cheese, or mascarpone (an Italian product similar in texture to sour cream.) Start with 1/4 cup and stir in cheese to taste. The cheese will thicken the broth even more. Adjust the seasoning with salt and pepper and serve.
Of course, you can and should use chicken broth, wine, beer, vegetable broth or beef broth instead of water. But keep in mind that much of the broth is going to evaporate, so if you're using bouillon cubes or canned broth, don't use straight chicken broth or your risotto will come out too salty. As a rule of thumb, I use half chicken broth, half water. If you want to use wine or beer, think of it as water. For instance, for 1 cup of rice you'll need about 4 cups of liquid. If you use 1 cup of wine, then mix 1 cup of water with 2 cups of chicken broth.
Many recipes have you heat the broth. I never do this. Not that there is anything wrong with heating up the broth, I just don't like to get another pan dirty. If you have a microwave, heat the broth up in a heat-proof measuring cup.
It's important to stir risotto frequently to develop the thick sauce, but you don't have to be a slave to it. I've even added all 4 cups of water/broth at once and simply stirred every few minutes and the risotto came out fine.
This is the traditional rice used to make risotto. Plain old short-grain white rice makes a pretty good risotto, but Arborio, in my experience, is better. I've tried long-grain rice and don't like it. Long-grain rice is designed to cook up dry and fluffy, the opposite of what risotto is about.

And, all tracks are male vocalists (just realised that...), including Cat Stevens, The Beatles, Foreigner and so on.. Might make more of these mixes later since I have many more to come! Enjoy!

text: NEW YORK, July 2, 2013 /PRNewswire/ -- Sirius XM Radio (NASDAQ: SIRI) announced today that Bud Selig, Commissioner of Major League Baseball, will sit down for an exclusive Q&A session with an audience of SiriusXM listeners and others at MLB All-Star Fan Fest at the Jacob K. Javits Convention Center in New York City on July 15. (Logo: http://photos.prnewswire.com/prnh/20101014/NY82093LOGO ) "SiriusXM's Town Hall with Bud Selig" will air live starting at 2:00 pm ET on three SiriusXM channels - MLB Network Radio (XM channel 89, Sirius Premier channel 209), Mad Dog Radio (SiriusXM channel 86) and SiriusXM Fantasy Sports Radio (XM channel 87, Sirius Premier channel 210). Airing the day before the All-Star Game, Commissioner Selig will answer questions from SiriusXM subscribers in the audience, discuss current league matters, and talk about his experiences from a career that has spanned six decades in baseball. The Town Hall will be hosted by SiriusXM's Chris 'Mad Dog' Russo, who will interview Commissioner Selig before opening it up to questions from the audience. After the debut broadcast, "SiriusXM's Town Hall with Bud Selig" will be available on SiriusXM On Demand for subscribers via the SiriusXM Internet Radio App or online at SiriusXM.com. "I look forward to speaking with Chris Russo, who I've known for many years, and the SiriusXM listeners at this Town Hall event," said Commissioner Selig. "I always enjoy conversations with baseball fans, and I will be especially glad to do so during our All-Star festivities as we celebrate New York City's great National League tradition, which Chris has always appreciated. I'm very happy that this event will help bring the excitement of the Midsummer Classic to a national audience." "Fanatics as well as casual baseball fans are going to want to hear what Bud has to say to me on July 15," said Russo. "He has led America's pastime for over two decades and is one of the most intriguing people in sports. I am excited for what will be a terrific baseball conversation. To be able to talk about the game's past, present and future with the Commissioner and a live audience at MLB All-Star Fan Fest will make for a great show." "With the nation focused on baseball for the All-Star Game, we're very excited to be able to present this special Q&A with Commissioner Selig to SiriusXM subscribers in New York and around the country," said Scott Greenstein, SiriusXM's President and Chief Content Officer. "Commissioner Selig has been one of the most influential figures in the game's long history, and in this SiriusXM Town Hall setting we look forward to a conversation that our listeners will find entertaining and enlightening." Allan H. (Bud) Selig was elected the ninth Commissioner of Baseball in 1998 by a unanimous vote of the 30 Major League Baseball club owners, after serving for six years as Chairman of the Major League Executive Council, which has made him the central figure in baseball's governance since September of 1992. He was the owner and president of the Milwaukee Brewers Baseball Club from 1970 until 1998. Selig, who became a Braves fan once the National League franchise moved from Boston to Milwaukee in 1953, subsequently became the team's largest public stockholder. As Chairman of the Executive Council, and then as Commissioner, Selig has guided baseball through numerous dramatic changes, including revenue sharing and the competitive balance tax, Interleague Play, the start of the Division Series and the Wild Card Games, realignment and the formation of two 15-team leagues in 2013, and the introduction of instant replay. He has addressed a wide range of issues to improve the game, including the most comprehensive drug testing program in professional sports, media innovation and stadium construction. He oversaw the return of Major League Baseball to the nation's capital with the debut of the Washington Nationals in 2005 and, in partnership with the MLBPA, created the World Baseball Classic. Fan interest in the game has grown significantly during his tenure as Commissioner. From 2004 through 2012, more than 73 million fans have attended regular season games each year, representing the nine best-attended seasons in baseball history.

QT Axes Jambi: Possible Future as Community Project?
The coming March release of QT Jambi will probably be the last. QT Software will discontinue support for the Java version.
Jambi is a QT port to the Java programming language. With the release of version 4.5 in March, development will officially end with QT Software concentrating its resources on the cross platform C++ Toolkit QT.
Following the release of version 4.5.0_01 in March 2009, developers will maintain Jambi for one year, and in a move designed to encourage the community to continue with the further development, it will then be made available under the LGLP license on the QT website. QT Software is promising to host and maintain a community-driven Jambi project.
Paralell to the announcement, QT Software released a Technology Preview of QT Jambi 4.5.0_01 complete with a Tar.gz-archive. In addition, a special mailing list will be created to collect feedback on the current version: email@example.com.
QT vs. QtThanks for the hint, of course it should be Qt throughout the text.
QT what?Is this QT thing that you are going on about (QuickTime, an Apple product) in any way related to Qt (a Nokia set of libraries and development tools that work on a few different platforms)?

Tuesday August 6th, 2013 12:50am
When the Boston Cannons hoisted the Steinfeld Trophy on Sunday at Navy-Marine Corps Memorial Stadium, the sky was clear, the sun was shining and the gorgeous day hinted nothing about the prior 24 hours.
The mood was pure jubilation at the crowning of a new champion and the end of another season. But just a day earlier, the mood was far different.
As Hurricane Irene approached, causing the City of Annapolis to declare a State of Emergency, events within the city to be canceled and major sporting events all throughout the East Coast to be adjusted, Major League Lacrosse and commissioner Dave Gross decided to continue with Championship Weekend as scheduled.
It was an unpopular decision for many, but because of a host of factors — the ESPN2 broadcast, availability of the stadium and player schedules among them — one that was probably necessary.
Three games later, Gross thinks he and the league made the correct decision. And given the elements, things went better than he could have hoped.
"It's as best as had been expected, a lot of people said better than can be expected," Gross said. "All week long we were looking at the weather. … It kept showing that it wasn't going to be more than a tropical storm down here.
"It was going to be 20 mph wind and rain, and we play in that. We always play in that. I know some people weren't happy with it, but I think it ended up being the right decision for us," he said.
Saturday's games were played in consistent rain. The second game of the day was moved up 20 minutes and was played in heavy rainfall and increasingly menacing winds. Even the press box at Navy-Marine Corps Stadium — a place of refuge from the elements — started leaking water through the glass late in the second game.
The few fans who braved the elements — just a few hundred on Saturday — huddled under the overhang at the stadium, using trash bags for raincoats if they didn't have them, leaving swaths of empty seats nearest to the field.
The MLL did not release attendance numbers for Saturday, and the league's statistics website did not report them. The announced attendance for Sunday, when atrocious conditions moved out, trading for clear skies, was 5,027. The Bayhawks averaged 8,161 fans per game this season, good for third in the league.
Daniel Corkett wasn't scared off by the rain. The Bayhawks season-ticket holder from nearby Davidsonville, Md., brought his son, Gavin, 11, and and his three friends. Corkett said the rain wasn't bad, and the fans who made it were in high spirits and rowdy.
"It was a tough loss, but a great game," Corkett said after Chesapeake fell to Boston 14-13 in Saturday's first semifinal.
At least a few out-of-towners didn't make it to Annapolis.
Paul Tartaglia of Colleyville, Texas emailed Inside Lacrosse on Friday that he was cancelling his plans to travel to Annapolis for the weekend. He was worried his flight Sunday evening would be canceled. A few minutes later he emailed that his concerns were warranted and that American Airlines had canceled his flight.
"Plus if the games are played in miserable conditions, what fun is that for the spectators or players," he said.
Frank Mccan canceled his plans to come from Indianapolis because of the weather, but added this: "We are bummed but go Cannons."
Gross did express remorse for those who were affected by the weather and could not make it, which judging from the crowd was a good amount of people.
"You always feel bad for those who bought a ticket and couldn't come out and make it. We feel bad for them. Hopefully they did get to watch on TV. Sometimes when you have bad weather you're surprised if anyone shows up. We're thankful to all those who did brave the elements," Gross said.
On the field, the conditions weren't as bad as they were for the crowd, players noted.
Casey Powell said Saturday: "The field conditions were really good. The footing was fine, there wasn't a lot of slippage and the rain actually cooled us down. Bad from a fans point of view but it kept us cool."
Geoff Snider was battling at the face-off dot, so he was perhaps most up-close-and-personal with the field. "These are my types of games. They fit my type of personality. It's scrappy and hard-nosed. You're battling the elements."
Gross said about the players: "They're pros, and they're pros for a reason. Not one guy complained. They were all excited about being a part of this event. Winning the Steinfeld Trophy is incredibly important to these guys, and then also playing through Hurricane Irene … it really meant a lot to them."
Steve Katchmark, Denise Martin and her son, Matt Martin, came from Northern Virginia to see the games. But they had special reason to be there: Matt was the starting FOGO during halftime of the Nationals-Outlaws game Saturday.
"We wouldn't miss this for the world," Katchmark said.
Another group that wouldn't miss Championship Weekend for the world was the Denver Outlaws cheerleaders. The cheerleaders flew in from Denver and braved the awful conditions to support their team, not leaving their spot behind the team's bench for the shelter of the stadium's overhang.
"That passion we have for this team, it is just unreal. Dancing together and for the guys. We wanted to come out and show our support as best as we can," said Christine Richardson.
"You know what, it was a fun game to watch," she said. "It was pretty wet to say the least."
For some, playing in the conditions was a badge of honor and a historic moment. While every other sport along the coast was canceled over the weekend, lacrosse was live on ESPN2 braving the elements and having its "Ice Bowl moment." A Drew Westervelt goal from Saturday was the top play on ESPN's SportsCenter. Many lacrosse fans noted on Twitter throughout the weekend that it showed how much tougher lacrosse players are than other athletes in other sports.
"It's going to be talked about for a long time, and I'm glad to be a part of it. It's the best field lacrosse league in the world, and I'm really glad to be here," Snider said.
"Talking to people after the game they were like, 'I would never have missed this. I'm glad I was a part of this,'" Gross said.
"We are special," Gross said. "Everyone out there was cancelling their events and we were out there playing at the highest level we can play the game."

It was he who gave some to be apostles, some to be prophets, some to be evangelists, and some to be pastors and teachers, to prepare Yahwehs people for works of service, so that the body of Messiah may be built up until we all reach unity in the faith and in the knowledge of the Son of Yahweh and become mature, attaining to the whole measure of the fullness of Messiah. Then we will no longer be infants, tossed back and forth by the waves, and blown here and there by every wind of teaching and by the cunning and craftiness of men in their deceitful scheming. Instead, speaking the truth in love, we will in all things grow up into him who is the Head, that is, Messiah. From him the whole body, joined and held together by every supporting ligament, grows and builds itself up in love, as each part does its work. (Ephesians 4:11-16)
As sincere seekers of truth, we must recognize that Yahshua has established a rule of government within His spiritual body of believers. That government is based upon Yahwehs Law. It was given to bring stability and strength to the members. The proper function of government within the congregation is an important doctrine that has a direct bearing on our salvation. In this article we will examine the subject of government in Yahwehs congregation and learn how this governmental and judicial system is to work within the Body of the Messiah.
The System of Judges
It first must be understood that Yahwehs government within the congregation has its roots in His Law. We find that Almighty Yahweh ordained that a system of judges be established within the tribes of Israel. That government was established as a means to teach and enforce the precepts and commandments that Yahweh has proclaimed to His people. This system of judges is found in Deuteronomy 1:13-18. Choose some wise, understanding and respected men from each of your tribes, and I will set them over you. You answered me, What you propose to do is good. So I took the leading men of your tribes, wise and respected men, and appointed them to have authority over you as commanders of thousands, of hundreds, of fifties and of tens and as tribal officials. And I charged your judges at that time: Hear the disputes between your brothers and judge fairly, whether the case is between brother Israelites or between one of them and an alien. Do not show partiality in judging; hear both small and great alike. Do not be afraid of any man, for judgment belongs to Yahweh. Bring me any case too hard for you, and I will hear it. And at that time I told you everything you were to do.
Take notice that the chosen officials were respected, wise and understanding men. They were chosen to function as Yahwehs representatives to the people. We can extrapolate from this that these officials would be well versed in Yahwehs Law and capable of making the right decisions in the matters that were brought before them. The level of judgment given was dependent upon the seriousness of the case. Ultimately, Moses acted as the supreme court where the most difficult cases were decided. However, it should be pointed out that when faced with serious situations of judgment, Moses went to Yahweh for the decision (See Numbers 15:32-36). In actuality, Yahweh is the supreme judge of His people.
Judges were appointed to preside over groups ranging from large (thousands) all the way down to groups of ten individuals. That way, this system functioned down to the family level. This judicial system can be applied to all people, first as individuals, and secondly, as members of a family unit. We are each the judge of one (our self). Those who have children are responsible as a parent, to teach their children the Law of Yahweh and judge properly within the family (Deuteronomy 6:6-7).
Almighty Yahweh was concerned that justice would be served properly and that there would be no partiality shown in any decisions rendered by the judges. It was His wish that justice would begin on the local level and continue further up the judicial chain of command. Appoint judges and officials for each of your tribes in every town Yahweh your Elohim is giving you, and they shall judge the people fairly. Do not pervert justice or show partiality. Do not accept a bribe, for a bribe blinds the eyes of the wise and twists the words of the righteous. Follow justice and justice alone, so that you may live and possess the land Yahweh your Elohim is giving you. (Deuteronomy 16:18-20) As a judge of one, each of us must follow after justice in every situation and circumstance if we are to gain entrance into the Promised Land of Yahwehs Kingdom. Almighty Yahweh has ordained a judicial system based upon His Torah Law that His people are to follow as converted believers.
Moses Seat
In Exodus chapter 18, we learn more about the system of judges that was established by Moses. We find that Moses was spending most of his time sitting and judging the cases that were brought before him as he taught the people the Law of Yahweh. Upon arriving and taking note of this situation, Jethro, Moses father-in-law, advised him to establish a system of judges to help him in judging Israel (Exodus 18:13-23). These were to be men of the highest moral and ethical standard, educated by Moses in the law. They would help bear his burden so that he would not become over worked and worn out. The weightier matters alone were to be brought to Moses and he would bring those difficult cases to Elohim (Exodus 18:19). Moses followed Jethros advice and established this judicial system.
We can conclude from this, (Exodus 18:13-23) that Yahweh intended for there to be a system of judges functioning within the community of Israel and not just one man as the judge of all matters. That system was to function at the lowest level of ten people, up to the highest level of thousands. As the chief judge, Moses would deal only with the very difficult cases. He would bring those cases before Elohim for an answer. It was his responsibility to oversee the judicial system and educate those who functioned as judges. The ultimate judge in Israel was in fact Yahweh. Moses was His representative to the people (Exodus 18:19). All judgments were to be based upon the Law of Yahweh. Therefore, Yahweh was the actual judge of Israel in every case.
The term Moses seat refers to the act of judging the people with the Law of Yahweh. This is clearly seen when we consider what our Savior said in Matthew 23:1-2; Then Yahshua said to the crowds and to his disciples: "The teachers of the law and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. Notice that Yahshua did not refer to Himself or a single individual person as sitting in Moses seat. He said that the teachers of the law (plural) and the Pharisees (plural) are the ones who judge according to the law. The reason He said this was because of the role these people played in teaching the law. At this period of time the scrolls of scripture that were used to teach the law were not a common possession of the people. These documents were laboriously produced by hand and thus were too expensive and precious for the average Israelite. In order for the common people to be taught the Law of Yahweh they had to go to the teachers of the law (the scribes) and the Pharisees. They were the ones who were in charge of the local synagogues where the law was read and studied, (See Luke 4:16-21).
Moses seat reflects Yahwehs judgment of the people through His Law. Due to the ready availability of Bibles in our present day, there is no one person who sits in Moses seat. Those who read the Word of Yahweh and seek to follow its commandments and precepts are sitting in Moses seat as they judge their own lives. This is what the Apostle Paul referred to in Philippians 2:12-13. Therefore, my dear friends, as you have always obeyed-not only in my presence, but now much more in my absence-continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling, for it is Yahweh who works in you to will and to act according to his good purpose. The Law of Yahweh is there as a witness, giving us the directives that we need in order to find salvation through Yahshua.
It is Yahwehs will and purpose for us to read, study, and obey His Law. His Word, as manifested in the life of His Son, is able to bring us salvation. Therefore, get rid of all moral filth and the evil that is so prevalent and humbly accept the word planted in you, which can save you. Do not merely listen to the word, and so deceive yourselves. Do what it says. Anyone who listens to the word but does not do what it says is like a man who looks at his face in a mirror and, after looking at himself, goes away and immediately forgets what he looks like. But the man who looks intently into the perfect law that gives freedom, and continues to do this, not forgetting what he has heard, but doing it-he will be blessed in what he does. (James 1:21-25) We must judge ourselves and be doers of the Word of Yahweh. Thereby, we fulfill the reason for Moses seat and the law brings us freedom now.
The Judges
As we have seen, the ultimate judge in Israel was Almighty Yahweh. He was the one who commanded the establishment of the system of the judges. It was His Torah, containing laws, statutes, ordinances, and judgments, that was used to make decisions in all cases. In Deuteronomy chapter 17, we find two examples of how Yahwehs Law was to be implemented. Verses 2 - 7 of this chapter show how the serious violation of idolatry was to be dealt with. The first step was to have a thorough investigation in which there were at least two and preferably three witnesses to establish the violation. Once the violation was confirmed, the violator was taken outside the city where they were to be put to death by stoning. The witnesses were the first to throw stones at them. This is a very clear case which was handled on the local level with the local judges.
The next section in this chapter, verses 8-13, shows how to deal with difficult judgments. It should be noted that this section repeatedly shows that there was more than one official involved in the case and that the decision making process was that of a council and not a singular person. Let us consider these verses with emphasis being put on the plurality of those who were to be involved in the judgment. If cases come before your courts that are too difficult for you to judge whether bloodshed, lawsuits or assaults take them to the place Yahweh your Elohim will choose. Go to the priests, who are Levites, and to the judge who is in office at that time. Inquire of them and they will give you the verdict. You must act according to the decisions they give you at the place Yahweh will choose. Be careful to do everything they direct you to do. Act according to the law they teach you and the decisions they give you. Do not turn aside from what they tell you, to the right or to the left. The man who shows contempt for the judge or for the priest who stands ministering there to Yahweh your Elohim must be put to death. You must purge the evil from Israel. All the people will hear and be afraid, and will not be contemptuous again. Take notice that the bold words are all the instances where the plurality of a council of judges is shown. Eight times it shows priests, Levites, and those who were functioning in the judicial system. The judge or priest, (singular), would refer to the one who established the decision in a difficult case. No single individual is designated as being the judge in all of these serious cases. The terms the judge or the priest shows the involvement of different individuals in various cases. Decisions arrived at were not those of only one person. Those rulings or verdicts were the decision of a council which was confirmed by a judge or a priest who acted as the head of that judicial council and thus was its spokesman.
The Council of Yahweh
The system of judges described in Deuteronomy 17 is the model for the decision arrived at in Acts 15. At the heart of this controversy was the question of physical circumcision for gentile converts. This was a serious matter since there were those who taught that without physical circumcision a person could not be saved. Paul and Barnabas were selected to go up to Jerusalem to discuss the question with the apostles and elders. Lets take a look at this passage and once again use emphasis to show that there was a council at Jerusalem that would hear and decide this case. Some men came down from Judea to Antioch and were teaching the brothers: "Unless you are circumcised, according to the custom taught by Moses, you cannot be saved. "This brought Paul and Barnabas into sharp dispute and debate with them. So Paul and Barnabas were appointed, along with some other believers, to go up to Jerusalem to see the apostles and elders about this question. The congregation sent them on their way, and as they traveled through Phoenicia and Samaria, they told how the Gentiles had been converted. This news made all the brothers very glad. When they came to Jerusalem, they were welcomed by the congregation and the apostles and elders, to whom they reported everything Yahweh had done through them. Then some of the believers who belonged to the party of the Pharisees stood up and said, The Gentiles must be circumcised and required to obey the law of Moses. (Acts 15:1-5)
We see next how the council was convened and the opposing views were aired. The apostles and elders met to consider this question. After much discussion, Peter got up and addressed them: "Brothers, you know that some time ago Yahweh made a choice among you that the Gentiles might hear from my lips the message of the good news and believe. Yahweh, who knows the heart, showed that he accepted them by giving the Holy Spirit to them, just as he did to us. He made no distinction between us and them, for he purified their hearts by faith. Now then, why do you try to test Yahweh by putting on the necks of the disciples a yoke that neither we nor our fathers have been able to bear? No! We believe it is through the grace of our Master Yahshua that we are saved, just as they are." The whole assembly became silent as they listened to Barnabas and Paul telling about the miraculous signs and wonders Yahweh had done among the Gentiles through them. (Acts 15:6-12) After hearing the testimony of Peter, and then Paul and Barnabas, the decision was obvious. Just read through Acts chapters 10 and 11 and you will be moved by the way Almighty Yahweh proved to Peter that he should not call any man common or unclean. There we see the miracle of the Holy Spirit given to the gentile Cornelius and his household as sincere worshipers of Yahweh and followers of the Messiah even though they were not yet baptized. This sign came through the power of the Holy Spirit of Yahweh as given through Yahshua the Messiah. Almighty Yahweh had already made the decision in this matter. His Word and Holy Spirit confirmed that the gentile converts need not be physically circumcised before baptism. The council of apostles and elders recognized these things and gave their support to the decision.
As the leading elder in Jerusalem, James, the brother of Yahshua, reiterated the Holy Spirit decision. He followed the example set by Moses when he recognized that Yahweh had already given a decision in the Word. He quotes from Amos 9:11-12 as the answer to the perplexing question concerning circumcision. When they finished, James spoke up: "Brothers, listen to me. Simon has described to us how Yahweh at first showed his concern by taking from the Gentiles a people for himself. The words of the prophets are in agreement with this, as it is written: "'After this I will return and rebuild David's fallen tent. Its ruins I will rebuild, and I will restore it, that the remnant of men may seek Yahweh, and all the Gentiles who bear my name, says Yahweh, who does these things' that have been known for ages. "It is my judgment, therefore, that we should not make it difficult for the Gentiles who are turning to Yahweh. Instead we should write to them, telling them to abstain from food polluted by idols, from sexual immorality, from the meat of strangled animals and from blood. For Moses has been preached in every city from the earliest times and is read in the synagogues on every Sabbath." (Acts 15:13-21) The judgment arrived at by James was the decision that Yahweh had already made and established by His Holy Spirit. James, as the leader of the council of apostles and elders, was confirming that decision according to the testimony that was given to them and by the Word of Yahweh.
This decision is always described as that of the apostles and elders and not as the decision of James. As it says in Acts 15:22, Then the apostles and elders, with the whole congregation, decided to choose some of their own men and send them to Antioch with Paul and Barnabas. They chose Judas (called Barsabbas) and Silas, two men who were leaders among the brothers. These men were sent out to inform the brethren in out lying congregations of the decision that was made by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem. This is further substantiated in Acts 16:4, As they traveled from town to town, they delivered the decisions reached by the apostles and elders in Jerusalem for the people to obey.
These scriptures prove that the apostolic congregation was operating under a judicial system of judges that functioned within a council. The decisions rendered were that of the council as a whole and not one man acting alone. This council followed the leading of the Holy Spirit and the Word of Yahweh in arriving at their decisions.
The Sanhedrin
The judicial system followed by the apostles and elders was not something that was new to them. This was undoubtedly patterned after the Jewish Sanhedrin. The Sanhedrin was composed of seventy elders who were from the major religious parties of the Sadducees and Pharisees, along with scribes. The president was the high priest. Since Judah and Jerusalem along with Galilee were under Roman domination the Sanhedrin functioned as representation of the Jewish people and handled religious matters.
We can see how this judicial body functioned when Yahshua was brought before the council (Sanhedrin) in Mark 14:53-55, They took Yahshua to the high priest, and all the chief priests, elders and teachers of the law came together. Peter followed him at a distance, right into the courtyard of the high priest. There he sat with the guards and warmed himself at the fire. The chief priests and the whole Sanhedrin were looking for evidence against Yahshua so that they could put him to death, but they did not find any.
Collectively, the members of the Sanhedrin functioned to find evidence against Yahshua. Their powers were limited by the Roman government so that they had to use their influence on Pilate to have Yahshua put to death. Because of a lack of credible evidence, they were unable to prove their case against Yahshua and so they sent Him to Pilate. Very early in the morning, the chief priests, with the elders, the teachers of the law and the whole Sanhedrin, reached a decision. They bound Yahshua, led him away and handed him over to Pilate. (Mark 15:1) This verse makes it clear that the decision they arrived at was the decision of the council and not just the High Priest (one man).
The Sanhedrin itself was patterned after the judicial government described in the Torah. The fact that the Law of Yahweh requires at least two credible witnesses against someone in order to put them to death stopped them from making a decision against Yahshua. They functioned as a council hearing evidence and making decisions.
On numerous occasions the apostles, especially Peter and Paul, were brought before the Jewish Sanhedrin. All of this is recorded in the book of Acts. In particular we can see how Peter and the other apostles were spared from death because an honored member of the Sanhedrin named Gamaliel spoke up for justice to be properly served, Acts 5:33-40. His speech influenced the members of the Sanhedrin to spare the lives of the apostles. This was not the decision of one man, it was the decision of the council.
Qualifications for the Council
We see in Yahwehs Law that there are certain qualifications that a person who is acting as a judge must meet. The judges and officials were to be wise and understanding men who would not accept a bribe, but would make their decisions according to Yahwehs Law without partiality. The same is true for those who function in positions of authority in the council established within the congregation. The Apostle Paul lists these qualifications for us in 1Timothy 3:1-13. He begins with the qualifications for bishops or overseers and then gives the qualifications for deacons. It should be noted that the word deacon means a servant and would in fact apply to all who function as elders in the various congregations. Lets look at that passage. Here is a trustworthy saying: If anyone sets his heart on being an overseer, he desires a noble task. Now the overseer must be above reproach, the husband of but one wife, temperate, self-controlled, respectable, hospitable, able to teach, not given to drunkenness, not violent but gentle, not quarrelsome, not a lover of money. He must manage his own family well and see that his children obey him with proper respect. (If anyone does not know how to manage his own family, how can he take care of Yahwehs congregation?) He must not be a recent convert, or he may become conceited and fall under the same judgment as the devil. He must also have a good reputation with outsiders, so that he will not fall into disgrace and into the devil's trap. Deacons, likewise, are to be men worthy of respect, sincere, not indulging in much wine, and not pursuing dishonest gain. They must keep hold of the deep truths of the faith with a clear conscience. They must first be tested; and then if there is nothing against them, let them serve as deacons. In the same way, their wives are to be women worthy of respect, not malicious talkers but temperate and trustworthy in everything. A deacon must be the husband of but one wife and must manage his children and his household well. Those who have served well gain an excellent standing and great assurance in their faith in Yahshua Messiah. These qualifications must be met by all those who would function in these positions. Since the elders of a congregation would comprise the local council, these qualifications apply to Yahwehs council.
Paul gives further information in regard to the qualifications of elders and overseers in Titus 1: 5-9, The reason I left you in Crete was that you might straighten out what was left unfinished and appoint elders in every town, as I directed you. An elder must be blameless, the husband of but one wife, a man whose children believe and are not open to the charge of being wild and disobedient. Since an overseer is entrusted with Yahwehs work, he must be blameless-not overbearing, not quick-tempered, not given to drunkenness, not violent, not pursuing dishonest gain. Rather he must be hospitable, one who loves what is good, who is self-controlled, upright, holy and disciplined. He must hold firmly to the trustworthy message as it has been taught, so that he can encourage others by sound doctrine and refute those who oppose it. Again it is noted that these men were the ones who functioned on the governmental council that existed in the various congregations. Paul was very clear in showing that these men must be above reproach. A converted attitude had to be reflected in all aspects of their lives. Only those who met these qualifications could function as elders on the congregations council.
Rule by Council
The passages of Scripture that we have examined show time and time again that the commanded government within Yahwehs congregation is that of a council of elders and it is not one man ruling over the people. These men meet all of the scriptural requirements. As elders in charge of the congregation, they are not to abuse or take advantage of those they have authority over. The Apostle Peter emphasizes that the elders must lead the people by example and not to domineer over them. He stresses humility and condemns pride and arrogance. So I exhort the elders among you, as a fellow elder and a witness of the sufferings of Messiah as well as a partaker in the glory that is to be revealed. Tend the flock of Yahweh that is your charge, not by constraint but willingly, not for shameful gain but eagerly, not as domineering over those in your charge but being examples to the flock. And when the chief Shepherd is manifested you will obtain the unfading crown of glory. Likewise you that are younger be subject to the elders. Clothe yourselves, all of you, with humility toward one another, for "Yahweh opposes the proud, but gives grace to the humble." Humble yourselves therefore under the mighty hand of Yahweh, that in due time he may exalt you. (1 Peter 5:1-6; RSV) Yahwehs true shepherds of the flock have humility. They lead with love and compassion for others. On the contrary, those who dominate the flock do so through fear. They abuse the flock of Yahweh by threatening them with disfellowshipment. Abusive leaders are overbearing and controlling. They are full of arrogance and lack a true concern for Yahwehs flock. (See Ezekiel 34)
Peters concern for the flock of Yahweh was well founded. Historically, it appears that there were elders who were guilty of abusing Yahwehs people. One such individual was Diotrephes. He is mentioned in the epistle of 3rd John. He had taken full control of a congregation and was dominating them to the point of spiritual abuse. He was an arrogant and controlling person who was guilty of speaking malicious gossip about Peter and the other brethren. He refused to have anything to do with specific brethren and disfellowshipped any member of the congregation who did not comply with his domination. Lets consider this passage. I wrote to the congregation, but Diotrephes, who loves to be first, will have nothing to do with us. So if I come, I will call attention to what he is doing, gossiping maliciously about us. Not satisfied with that, he refuses to welcome the brothers. He also stops those who want to do so and puts them out of the Congregation. Dear friend, do not imitate what is evil but what is good. Anyone who does what is good is from Yahweh. Anyone who does what is evil has not seen Yahweh. Demetrius is well spoken of by everyone-and even by the truth itself. We also speak well of him, and you know that our testimony is true. (3 John 9-12)
Yahwehs congregation is to exhibit love and compassion for the brethren and does not use fear and threats against them. The love of Yahweh must be evident at all times, especially from those who are the leaders. Remember, perfect love casts out all fear (1 John 4:18). Corrupt leaders like Diotrephes must be removed from their office of terror against Yahwehs people.
In the book New Testament History, by F. F. Bruce, the author refers to Diotrephes as a monarchical bishop. Bruce defines this as one bishop in control of the administration of the congregation of a city. He makes the case that this type of assembly government lead to the corruption described in 3rd John. He points out that Diotrephes as a monarchical bishop replaced the original body of elders or bishops that had previously existed. Historically, he shows how at the beginning of the second century, monarchical bishops began to take control of various assemblies. This ultimately led to the bishop of Rome being designated as pope. The old adage, Absolute power corrupts absolutely comes to mind. The domination of the monarchical bishops was a defection from the true government established by Almighty Yahweh and certified by Yahshua and the apostles. As we have seen previously, government within the congregation is conducted by a council of ordained elders. Such a council prevents domination by one individual and thereby protects the congregation from abuse and corruption.
On the subject of government in Yahwehs congregation the scriptures are very clear. Yahwehs government is based upon a system of judges. Those judges are required to meet a high standard of qualifications for their office. These men work together as a council seeking to do the will of Almighty Yahweh as the supreme judge in all matters. They examine the scriptures and rely upon the Holy Spirit in the decision making process. These leaders are not overbearing and domineering over Yahwehs flock. Instead, they lead by setting a good example to the people. Humility is a key ingredient to their success as leaders of the people of Yahweh.
Because of their care and genuine concern for the flock these leaders are respected within the congregation. Yahwehs people willingly submit to good leaders who rule with love for Yahweh and for all people, especially the brethren. Remember your leaders, who spoke the word of Yahweh to you. Consider the outcome of their way of life and imitate their faith. (Hebrews 13:7) Obey your leaders and submit to their authority. They keep watch over you as men who must give an account. Obey them so that their work will be a joy, not a burden, for that would be of no advantage to you. (Hebrews 13:17) The work of those faithful leaders will always bring them respect from the people and joy for their labors.
As we establish Yahwehs government in our lives and within His congregation we can anticipate with great joy the second coming of our Savior Yahshua the Messiah and the establishment of Yahwehs Kingdom upon the earth. All authority to judge shall be given to Yahshua when He comes. I tell you the truth, a time is coming and has now come when the dead will hear the voice of the Son of Yahweh and those who hear will live. For as the Father has life in himself, so he has granted the Son to have life in himself. And he has given him authority to judge because he is the Son of Man.
"Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out-those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. (John 5:25-29) Blessed and holy are those who have part in the first resurrection. The second death has no power over them, but they will be priests of Yahweh and of Messiah and will reign with him for a thousand years. (Revelation 20:6) Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be handed over to the saints, the people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him. (Daniel 7:27) As Yahwehs people, let us look forward to that time when Yahshua shall be the judge and we shall rule with Him.

Lacrosse news straight to your inbox.
Saturday May 24th, 2014 6:06pm
For the second time in as many years, Denver's season ends in a semifinal loss, as the Pioneers fell to Duke, 15-12 on Saturday at M&T Bank Stadium in Baltimore. The loss snaps a 13-game win streak for Denver, who ends the year at 16-3. It was the Pioneers' third trip to the Final Four in four years.
"As I told my players, you might think that we get tired of making end-of-the-year speeches after a semifinal loss, but I'll never get tired of those because they — all they mean is that you've lost a lacrosse game at the end of a wonderful journey," Denver coach Bill Tierney said after the game. "And I'm so, so proud of these guys."
The Pioneers were left to scrap back for much of the day, as Denver's Wesley Berg scored the game's first goal, but the 1-0 lead would be the only edge the Pioneers would enjoy all day. Uncharacteristic mistakes on defense were exploited by the Blue Devils' many weapons, and a normally efficient Denver offense was able to generate just 10 first-half shots and muster just four goals, trailing at the half 8-4.
The team would rally out of the locker room, cutting the deficit to 11-10 and then 12-11 early in the fourth, but the Duke offense was able to keep pace and preserve the win.
"Every game you can play a full 60 minutes, it's pretty tough to string together a full 60 minutes, but I think that second half you saw us play pretty good lacrosse," senior middie Jeremy Noble said after the game. "It's too bad we couldn't do that in the first half, but that's the way lacrosse games go, and it happens sometimes."
Not lost on the Pioneers was the perspective on the general success of making the Final Four three years running, and the experience these players have enjoyed along the way.
"I wouldn't trade this for a national championship. The experience that I've experienced at the University of Denver, the friendships, and the life lessons and just have so much fun in my four years here," Noble said. "It's going to be tough leaving, but I'm going to be a proud fan in the crowd next year."
"We're proud of the guys; we did get better this year," Tierney said. "I don't think I've ever had a team that was so close chemistry-wise, that took care of each other's business. They incorporate freshman with some great seniors, and everybody else in between. We had a transfer be our quarterback [Jack Bobzien], and all that stuff in between....All that stuff comes together and you do improve, but at the end of the day if you measure that by what happens on Memorial Day weekend, then I think you're making a big mistake. … I'm not going to look at this and consider it a failure. I look at this and consider it a huge achievement for guys to be 16-2 losing to a great Duke team who's won a few."
While this senior class couldn't walk away with the ultimate prize, they pushed the program to new heights and made Denver a household name in lacrosse, a great strive forward for a program on the rise.
"A lot of the guys are kind of unsung people who turned up from [a lot] of states, a lot of us weren't highly recruited," junior d-middie Terry Ellis said after the game. "Hopefully it was a good legacy for the school that shows we can compete with the Notre Dames and the Marylands and the Dukes."
"This group of young men that comes from 20 different states and two provinces of Canada. Let's face it, there aren't many fifth-graders playing lacrosse on the East Coast that say, 'I can't wait to go to the University of Denver.' There will be, and I'm really excited about those possibilities," Tierney said. "People don't realize the sacrifice a young man has to make if he's being recruited by one of the Eastern powers. To come out there, he's making a statement."
A familiar refrain heard during quarterfinal weekend was about how big it is to win those games and advance to the sport's biggest stage, with the increase in media and fan exposure that comes with it. For a program building to a national power, that can be invaluable. While the Pioneers haven't enjoyed success during Memorial Day Weekend, the experience will pay dividends for years to come.
"Winning a national championship is difficult, so what you have to do is continue to strive for that, of course, but understand that you're still building even if the result at the end was a lost lacrosse game on Saturday of Memorial Day Weekend, because eventually when it cracks, I've been blessed, as you know to win a few of these things, and when it cracks it makes it a little easier," Tierney said. "As I said last year, we'll be back, and you guys are going to get tired of us until you see us celebrate for this thing."
Players like Noble, whom Tierney called "the heart and soul of this team," will be difficult to replace, but the next crop of talent and seniority has already proven their merits. Players like Berg, who scored five goals while playing with a broken thumb, will take the reins as the program tries to break through.
"Wes is a leader," Tierney said. "He's going to have to take over Jeremy's role next year as our leader, and I'm sure he'll do a great job."
"You can't replace a guy like [Noble] or [Jamie] Faus," Berg said postgame, citing the guidance of some of the stars that got their first taste of the championship weekend as freshman in 2011, when they lost to eventual national champion Virginia.
No stranger to the Final Four, Tierney reflected on the way the challenge has evolved since he won his first national championship at Princeton in 1992, making 13 semifinal appearances in all.
"2014 to 1992, it's hard; it's difficult, but I think the heightened media attention might make it seem a lot harder, but every year it's difficult to beat these good teams," Tierney said. "I think it might even be harder to win. In one respect, you've got a chance to, if you do your job you've got a chance to recruit some amazing kids from a lot of different areas. If you look at our roster, and if you stick with it, and you stick to the values that you have for young men and you guide them in the right way, and they're willing to follow, great things can happen."
After downing Drexel convincingly in the quarterfinals, Tierney made sure his program reflected on the moment and the season to date, knowing the opportunity ahead of them is one to savor.
"I explained to our guys and they're parents and stuff, 'enjoy this journey, because it's not that easy, what we do'" the coach said. "And so three out of four years being here, it's pretty special."

Current / Slices
Last week, Republican vice presidential candidate Paul Ryan told some radio show that he'd run a marathon in "two hour and fifty something," which raised eyebrows because that is a very fast time. Noted political fact-checkers Runner's World did a little digging and found that Ryan's actual marathon time was just over four hours. A spokesperson for Ryan later admitted that he'd misremembered the time and rounded down to the (second) closest hour. Here's hoping his current race goes more smoothly than his marathon did ...

NRL player Robbie Farah, who asked for goverment assistance in combatting online trolls, has apologised over an offensive joke he made about the Prime Minister in 2011.
The West Tigers captain said in a statement he had apologised to the Prime Minister over the Tweet, written back in September last year.
"As you are aware I have been vocal in recent days about criticising those who say some pretty disgraceful things through social media and I have appreciated your support in relation to that cause," he wrote in the apology to Ms Gillard.
"It is an experience that has highlighted the hurtful nature of unthinking comments and even those which are sometimes put forward as 'black humour'."
"In the course of this I have been alerted to a 'tweet' I made last year in relation to the Prime Minister which was in hindsight clearly offensive.
"At the time I did think about what I had done and removed the 'tweet' soon after posting it but that of course doesn't repair the damage.
"I make no excuse and offer my sincere apologies. I can only say that I have learnt a lot in recent days and I hope that everyone in the community can learn about the pain that we can cause through such comments.
"Hopefully the whole situation will only serve to encourage everyone to think about what we are really saying before we hit the 'send' key."
News Limited spoke to a social media commentator who unearthered a deleted tweet sent from Farah's account in which he suggests the Prime Minster should get 'a noose' for her birthday.
The deleted tweet was sent as a response to a question from NRL personality Mark Geyer.
Geyer's message to Farah asked, "What would you buy the PM for her birthday? It's her 50th today", to which Farah responded, "a noose...".
After receiving criticism for his tweet Farah deleted the offensive remark and said, "Some people on twitter obviously can't take a joke. Lighten up people."
The revelations come days after Farah called on Prime Minister Julia Gillard to crack down on online abuse after he received an offensive message about his deceased mother.
Farah tweeted Ms Gillard, appealing for similar measures to the ones that allowed British authorities to arrest a teenager for making offensive remarks about Olympic diver Tom Daley's deceased father.
"We all need to make a stand and get these scums off Twitter. The laws are piss weak and people should be accountable for their comments," Farah wrote.
"We need to take some action and change these soft laws. People need to be accountable for their comments. #makeastand."
New South Wales Premier Barry O'Farrell says he wants to work with the Commonwealth to send a strong message to people who harass others on the internet.
"I think it's unacceptable, whether it's a star footballer or whether it's an average citizen out there, to get either racist, defamatory or other inciteful messages from someone who thinks they can do it anonymously," he said.
"We are seeking a review of existing Commonwealth legislation to see what between the Commonwealth and the states we can do to close any potential loopholes that exist."
NSW Police Minister Mike Gallacher says he will speak with police about cracking down on online abuse and agrees the Federal Government needs to intervene.
"It's pretty clear that they're appropriately named twitters because they're coming from twits," he said.
"As I said about a week ago, honestly, these clowns who hide behind their keyboards in their mother's basements thinking they can send offensive messages, [we've] got to empower police with the ability to replace their keyboards with handcuffs."

Why are Fireworks Allowed During the Drought?
The stands are up, but in light of this historic drought, why are they even selling fireworks this year?
It's a question fire officials say they've been getting a lot lately.
Michelle Eidam is with Sac Metro Fire and says any kind of ban would come from local government and really, it's the illegal fireworks they're worried about, not the "safe and sane" kind.
"Those do not leave the ground, they do not send sparks that high, they do not explode," Eidam.
Of course, even a sparkler can set a grass fire and that's why Eidam says they've been working to clear brush.
A ban would also backfire in one way, a lot of nonprofits operate those fireworks stands.
"This is the way to make their fundraising dollars. They can generate about 80 percent of what they need," Julie L. Heckman with the American Pyrotechnics Association said.
The sales are basically a seven-day fundraising campaign.
