Based on the success of the critically acclaimed "Hard Edge," the Arizona Wildcats have released a sequel that is sure to be…something.
The scene is once again the Old West, with everyone dressed in cowboy-style gear doing cowboy-ish things.
The video features head coach Rich Rodriguez, who starred in the previous version, along with as some of the team's key players. Directed by the head coach's wife Rita, it is meant to promote the upcoming season, which will be Rodriguez's second in Tucson.

Have a Tax Question? Ask a Tax Expert
If the participation of both spouses is significant (such that it would not be proper for one spouse to claim the activity as a sole proprietorship), then either a partnership return or two separate Schedule C wherein each spouse takes into account his or her respective share of the business items as a sole proprietor will be used.
For more on each spouse using a Schedule C for their portion, please see Husband and Wife Business "The provision generally permits a qualified joint venture whose only members are a husband and wife filing a joint return not to be treated as a partnership for Federal tax purposes."
It may even more accurately reflect the various activities within the business (such as the teaching being reported only by the mom) by using two Schedule C in a joint return.
When filing Schedule C, whether one or two, the efforts of the son would be recognized by paying a wage or salary to the son. The son will not have to pay FICA but will have earned income subject to income tax
See Family Help and links at Businesses with Employees for details.
If the business was actually a three member partnership then a partnership return will be filed (whether or not you formed an LLC). See Partnerships for more details.
Of course, to file a return the partnership will need an Employer ID Number (EIN)
So, you will have to decide whether the activity was a sole proprietorship, a joint activity by spouses reported as two proprietorships or a partnership.
In the first two cases the son would be an employee and in the last a partner.
The start up costs would be deducted by the proprietor, allocated between the spouses or taken by the partnership.
Best wishes on your family business.

December 16, 2009
Royston and I spent the first few hours on Monday back in the Grameen Complex in Dhaka. The most exciting meeting was with two retired Grameen Bank officials -- Fazley Rabbi and, briefly, Abser Kamal – both of whom now work with Grameen Shakti (Energy). Shakti, a sister company of Grameen Bank set up by Dr. Yunus in the early 1990s and that had been led until recently by Dipal Barua, has become a world leader in bringing renewable energy to rural households. We heard how they had passed 300,000 solar home systems installed, and how they do it profitably and at a rate of 13,000 per month at present. (The second most successful program of this kind has reached just over 100,000 installations.)
As always with Grameen, there was more. They are ramping up a biogas program that turns cow and chicken manure into natural gas for cooking and, as a by-product, organic fertilizer that can be sold to farmers. In a country where fertilizer is in great demand, and where the subsidies for it are so expensive for the government, some consider fertilizer to be the main product of this process, and the natural gas a by-product. Already, there have been 8,000 mini-biogas plants installed and many more are in the pipeline.
Furthermore, Shakti has created 45 "Grameen Technology Centers" where young women with at least an eighth grade education (which is increasingly common in this country) are trained to become skilled in manufacturing and servicing batteries and other equipment used in generating, storing and distributing clean energy. After training, they are able to earn $90-$110 per month – not bad in a country where the average annual income is about $400. The alternative for these young women would be almost certain unemployment.
The next frontiers for Shakti? Harnessing wind energy, developing and deploying solar-driven irrigation systems (the prototype is ready to go), and penetrating the urban market for solar energy. The financing source for their rural solar program is not available for urban installations, so Royston had some promising ideas for generating financing for their urban plans using carbon trading system now coming into the mainstream. Follow up discussions are planned.
Royston and I parted midday, and I spent the rest of the day travelling with my old friend Golam Morshed Mohammad to the branch where I had done the research for my book Small Loans, Big Dreams (Wiley, 2008). (Royston suffered through a 21 hour delay getting back to Mumbai!) En route to the Shaymganj branch, I meet with Mohammad Tayebur Rahman, the zonal manager who overseas some 60 branches (each serving about 3,000 families), and the area manager Goutom Bishash. It was during these discussions that I realized that my spoken Bengali was still fairly good, so I was able to get a grasp of the current status of one of Grameen's oldest and most successful regional operations.
After the final leg of my journey – a 45 minute ride on the back of a motorcycle – I arrived at the branch I had gotten to know best during my six years in Bangladesh. It was after sundown when I arrived, but the market was lit up, which surprised me since there was never any electricity there when during my many visits in 1993-5, and even when I returned in 2004.
It was not until the next day that I noticed that we had driven by a newly opened office for Grameen Shakti as we approached the Grameen Bank office – which as before we housed in an unused room in the local high school. The signboard had been replaced with a fresh one that include "Recipient of the Nobel Prize" (in Bengali) under the words Grameen Bank. How appropriate to remind the people of this community that their country had contributed microfinance to benefit the world's poverty reduction efforts, and that this contribution had been recognized with its most prestigious prize!
I went to several Grameen Shakti sites this time last year. Amazingly efficient installation of solar panels. Was great to see road-side shops trading late into the night with their new lights. Also really impressed by the bio-gas systems. Saw one that supplied cooking gas to four homes via a a series of pipes.
Be interested to know how the efficient cooking stove is going? Great design. Anthony in Sydney AU
I'd like to get a salary so that i could send my teams of divers and construction workers down to panama, brazil, costa rica, bolivia, and a few other countries not to forget phillipines, malaysia, africa, myamar, afghanistan, and alot of other countries that need wiring of electric grid. I want to be the man in charge of the whole project. I know how to do everything that needs to be done. I just need the information on who to bill for performing the service. I can get 4000 families down to brazil at least to start work by the olympics. That's my deadline. I want to be finished with the entire pacific warning system of bouys and towers by 5 years. Windmill and tidal generators as well as all airport security scanners and ports authority work. Give me a offer and how much you want done and i can arrange the project by feburary 2nd. Any after that and i might be busy with something else at the time.

Hi Guys
First post so be gentle. I have loaded Dis v57 onto my laptop, Windows7. However when I attempt to configure the diagnostic head under the admin tab, the free diagnostic head appears in the left window but when selected only the IP address appears on the right. The subnet mask address is blank. If I insert the address manually, hit ok, configuration cannot be completed.
I assume I have an incorrect setting somewhere, Vmnet1 adapter is configured. Ediabas.ini is correct.
I really need to get this running as I need to calibrate my steering angle sensor after replacing the switch cluster.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Coming all this long distance from their star system they would have vastly superior technology and we would probably not be able to stop them from doing whatever they wanted to do. Are large 'too big to fail' corporations supported by alien technology? But I suppose I digress.

Cap and Trade Curbed Acid Rain: 7 Reasons Why It Can Do The Same For Climate Change
February 13
Cited: Robert Stavins, Harvard Environmental Economics Program
Topic: SO2 trading program
…A new report ["The SO2 Allowance Trading System and the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990: Reflections on Twenty Years of Policy Innovation"; full report (PDF)] from the Harvard Environmental Economics Program, recounts this remarkable story. More important for climate policy, the report distills what policy-makers have learned 20 years after launching a market for SO2.
In May of 2011, Harvard hosted a two-day workshop, inviting economists, lawyers, and former government officials, including several who served in the H.W. Bush White House, to reflect on the performance of the SO2 trading program. Participants included Harvard's Robert Stavins (co-author of the SO2 allowance-trading report) as well as Robert Grady, a senior official at the Office of Management and Budget under President Bush I; C. Boyden Gray, the elder Bush's White House Counsel; Fred Krupp, President, Environmental Defense Fund; and Mary Nichols, a Clinton administration EPA official now overseeing the development of California's soon-to-launch carbon-trading program.
Ambassador to Pakistan Analyzes U.S.-Pakistan Relations
The Harvard Crimson
February 14
Quoted: Nicholas Burns, Belfer Center
Topic: U.S.-Pakistan relations
The relationship between the U.S. and Pakistani intelligence communities is "okay," U.S. Ambassador to Pakistan Cameron P. Munter said on Monday, but the two nations' military relationship is "not okay."
Munter delivered this frank analysis during a speech at the Harvard Kennedy School in which he emphasized the importance of repairing strained ties between the nation he represents and the place he is stationed. …
"The U.S.-Pakistani relationship is among our most important," Burns said. Precarious negotiations surrounding terrorism, al-Qaeda, and U.S. engagement in Afghanistan make U.S. activity in South Asia the "heart of American diplomacy," Burns said.
Summers: U.S. Has 10M Fewer Jobs Than It Should
February 13
Quoted: Lawrence Summers, Mossavar-Rahmani Center for Business and Government
Topic: U.S. economy
The U.S. economy has about 10 million fewer jobs than it should and economic output is about $1 trillion below where it ought to be, former Treasury Secretary Lawrence Summers said.
"Our economy still remains well short of its potential," Summers said in a speech in Calgary today. "That downturn casts a substantial shadow forward over the U.S. economy."
Summers , who is a professor and researcher at the John F. Kennedy School of Government at Harvard University, said he doesn't anticipate any "large fiscal actions" from the U.S. government in the next months. Changes will probably come after the presidential elections, he said at the University of Calgary School of Public Policy-sponsored event.
Even When the Subject Is Gun Control, Our Government Wins When Justice Is Done
Huffington Post
February 12
Commentary by: Steven Strauss, Institute of Politics
Topic: Gun control
My brother committed suicide with a gun. When New York City's murder rate was 4 times its current level -- guns were often involved, and they're still involved in many of the city's crimes. It's no surprise I'm an advocate of gun control, and a knee-jerk opponent of the National Rifle Association (NRA).
It's extraordinary that I find myself concurring with the NRA about 2 tourists recently arrested in NYC. Ryan Jerome is from Indiana, and Meredith Graves from Tennessee. Each had permits from his or her home state to carry concealed weapons. Ryan was visiting the Empire State Building, and Meredith the 9/11 Memorial, when each became aware that NYC does not permit the carrying of concealed weapons. In each incident, they found a security officer, informed the officer about the gun, and voluntarily offered to hand it in. Each faces prosecution and potentially years in prison for illegal gun possession -- because NYC doesn't recognize out-of-state gun permits and the prosecutor won't use his discretion to drop the charges.
Dubai School of Government reduces Harvard link and takes new direction
The National (UAE)
February 12
Cited: Harvard Kennedy School
Topic: Changes at Dubai School of Government
DUBAI // A fellowship to be set up by the Dubai School of Government (DSG) will allow selected public servants to study at Harvard for a week.
The fellowship will replace a DSG-funded programme at the Ivy League university called the Dubai Initiative, which supported eight to 15 resident fellows and non-resident associates to do research on the Middle East for a year. …
Any future research partnerships between the two schools will be considered on a case-by-case basis, though none had been planned as of last month. Senior government employees would participate in activities at DSG while working full-time. Some would go on to a week-long Executive Education course at the Harvard Kennedy School of public policy. It is not clear yet how many government officials will be selected as fellows or attend the Kennedy School. DSG did not respond to requests for comment.

The perfect ticket for the Republicans, Thomas Sowell and Walter Williams. Doesn't matter who's on top. If this ever happened, critcism of the black President would suddenly come into vogue. Then it would be looked at as criticism of his policies and not him personally. Todays media looks upon all criticism of Obama as racist. Millions of whites who don't want to be accused of being racist, dare not criticise some of the worst legislation ever passed in this country.

While Bumbershoot is technically attached to our big sister to the north, as one of the largest festivals of its kind in North America, the three-day festival cannot be ignored just because it is 35 miles outside Tacoma city limits.
As one of the largest showcases for regional and national music acts, Bumbershoot is a tastemaker for the Pacific Northwest music scene, and many a Tacoman plans their Labor Day weekend around the lineup. The festival is packed to the brim with musical acts, performing artists, visual artists and the works of local filmmakers and, as always, is a perfect sendoff into fall as the official end of the summer outdoor music season in Tacoma and Seattle.
Here is a brief rundown of the weekend, and a couple of interviews with some artists we are most excited to see take the stage at the iconic Northwest event.
Starting at 11 a.m. on Saturday, the festival kicks off with family friendly interactive performances of Blueman Group, local film (check out Saturday afternoon for viewings of the top five films from Seattle's 48 hour film festival), comedy and arts panels before diving into what we all really care about at Bumbershoot: the music.
Highlights for Saturday include locally based and nationally loved enigmatic hip-hop of Shabaz Palaces, the sophisticated alt-rock of Minus the Bear and the soulful, New Hampshire-born crooner Ray LaMontagne.
Sunday features an animated film showcase, a Shakespeare improv set, as well as the local hip-hop of Seattle's own Mad Rad and Macklemore. Sunday also brings the old-school punk scene to the forefront with performances by NoMeansNo, Broken Social Scene, Anti-Flag and the Butthole Surfers.
Monday gets a little retro as the final day of the festival puts the always beloved "yacht rockers" Hall and Oates on the main stage, and more flashbacks from the 1990s with Urge Overkill, The Reverend Horton Heat, and a much anticipated reunion show for the rootsy rocking trio of Grant Lee Buffalo.
Motopony – who got its start in Tacoma close to two years ago – will be representing T-town in a big way at noon.
We spoke with the latter two musicians to get a feel for what it is like to play one of the bigger festival shows in the nation.
For Grant Lee Buffalo, it will be their largest North American show since reuniting after a more than 11-year hiatus. It will also be the first opportunity for Pacific Northwest fans old and new to see the full lineup play in their back yard.
For rising star Motopony, success has come quick, and on the tails of their first full-length release with label tinyOGRE Entertainment, getting a chance to swing the bat at the big leagues of American summer music festivals is considered a rite of passage for the relative newcomers on the music scene.
"It's been a while…" said Grant Lee Phillips, frontman for Los Angeles' Grant Lee Buffalo – a band that punctuated the 1990s with four of their rocking, rootsy, Americana-infused albums before going their separate ways in 1998.
"It all came and went so fast. Back in the '90s I think we'd always (had) a mutual curiosity of what it would be like to one day pull it back together. Paul and I ran into each other in Seattle and began to talk… little by little we began to tiptoe towards this reunion."
Throughout the lifespan of Grant Lee Buffalo – which included bassist Paul Kimble, and drummer Josef Peters, four diverse independent releases, countless tours opening for the likes of REM, Pearl Jam and the Smashing Pumpkins and a handful of commercially recognized radio singles – the band created a strong cult following that has remained, and continued to grow today.
Each band member has since been successful in their own rights as solo artists, film composers and producers, but according to Phillips, coming back together to their youthful first love of the Buffalo was inevitable.
"We haven't been broken up – we've been on a long residency in the Mojave and we've finally got a weekend off," Phillips laughed. "There has been a lot of anticipation and a lot of enthusiasm surrounding this reformation, and that's been wonderful."
As far as dusting off the old Buffalo gear and getting back on stage with older music and even older friends? It is just like riding a bike.
"We did rehearse a lot a few months back… but we probably could have performed the moment we took our guitars out and plugged in. "It just kind of sprang into form," Phillips said. "The music was pretty engrained in us having done it so many times. And having that natural chemistry that we had to begin with… there is this connection."
Phillips suffered an ankle injury last fall that postponed the original reunion tour dates, (including a would-be Seattle performance at the Tractor Tavern last December) so Grant Lee Buffalo played their first reunion show at Largo in Los Angeles in May, and a handful of other shows across Europe since.
At Bumbershoot – the band's first Seattle performance was at the Showbox in 1995 (to the best of Phillips' recollection) – they will perform twice: once to a small audience at the KEXP's Music Lounge at 5:30 p.m. and then close out the festival with the very last performance of the weekend at 9:30 p.m. Monday on the Starbucks Stage in the Mural Amphitheater.
"It is an interesting phenomenon…playing a bunch of songs I wrote in my mid 20s. These songs will wear you out… but it's a whole lot of fun."
For all the anxious Grant Lee Buffalo fans who never thought they would hear "Fuzzy" live in their lifetime – or for those who saw them way back when, but never dreamed they would again – Phillips said their Bumbershoot sets will be varied, and fans should expect to hear some more obscure tracks from deep in the GLB vault – and only songs from the first three albums that Phillips, Kimble and Peters created together (sorry "Jubilee" fans).
"One of the most exciting things for us was going back and rediscovering a lot of songs that were never contenders in terms of becoming singles.
"There are a lot of songs that are so slow they would never be considered poppy, or they are so insane they would send everyone running for the aisles. "Those are really fun to play."
For the lucky fans who manage to get into the limited-access KEXP Music Lounge as well as GLB's set in the open air, they can expect a lot of diversity, energy and Phillips' strong, signature heartfelt bellow backed – as always – with the explosive sounds of electrified Americana.
"Really Grant Lee Buffalo is the product of a strange combustible chemical reaction when three somewhat insane gentlemen come together and make a noise," Phillips said of the music that has the capacity to define a moment and a lifetime at once. "It's an intense situation, it's very heightened, and I think it's like that for all of us. It's quite a thrill for the time that we're on stage.
"The connection is stronger than ever between us and so is the music, most importantly… and you'll see it all come Sept. 5."
Founded by then-longtime-Tacoma resident and local clothing guru Daniel Blue, Motopony had modest beginnings as being voted one of Tacoma's "favorite indie bands" before Blue relocated to Seattle to be closer to his fellow band members and practice space.
Over the last two years, the band has signed to a record label, launched their first music video, and has been touring the West Coast, garnering national attention for their ambient, surrealistic, indie-rock sound.
As the band steadily climbs the ladder to mainstream success, hitting the spot on the Bumbershoot lineup is certainly a moment to write home about.
"(Motopony) has been like a steady, graceful incline. It hasn't been too crazy, but there have been some big steps – getting signed was huge," he said. "(At Bumbershoot) they're letting us play on the Fountain Stage in the lawn – it's a huge festival, a lot of fun exposure."
Blue noted getting to play some sets on the summer festival scene definitely has its perks.
"It's so different than a bar scene where people are coming out to drink and be cool. Festivals are way more relaxed. People are there to have a good time and are into the event of listening to the music."
And after Bumbershoot, a 10-week East Coast tour will be bringing them to a festival main stage in Florida with the likes of the legendary Jane's Addiction and the Shins.
But first, Motopony will do its trial run at the world renowned Bumbershoot in their hometown – right alongside a handful of their friends' bands who are moving along in a similar musical journey. "Interestingly enough, a lot of our local favorites are playing – Kris Orlowski & The Passenger String Quartet, The Horde and the Harem … These are bands that we know, that have been coming up through the scene with us. It's cool we all sort of got this unique opportunity to play Bumbershoot at the same time. That's my favorite part. I'm going to be there with my peers and high-fiving each other on the way."
Motopony will perform at noon on Sept. 5 on the Fountain Lawn Stage.
"Come and experience the live show, it's really, really diff from our album, we approach it from another direction."
Tickets for the weekend are $35 per day, or $90 for the weekend.

Meet the Shelton Family! I mean, all kids are adorable but check out little Latham – that smile! These photos were Latham's 1 year old photos. I think when he gets older it's going to be so cool to see a document of what life was like at this age. Do you remember what photographs you have from when you were 1? You might have a single image of you blowing out the candles on a birthday cake, more if your lucky. What did your house look like? What toys did you play with? What did your dad look like when you were 1? I just loved going into Brienne and Jordon's home and taking a photojournalistic approach to capture candid family photographs of this time in their life. Their pets were pretty entertaining and so full of personality with all their crazy expressions. I must note Brienne and Jordon have a killer eye for interior design that I completely envy. So sweet and welcoming too. It's just so great to be a part of these little family moments.

I was so excited when I was asked by Holly to shoot her Chocolate Lab Frances as a Christmas gift for her husband. So many expressions coming from this one dog! I love doing pet portraits, especially during these winter months when I'm not too busy shooting weddings. Contact me if you would like me to come to your house, or you can come to mine, and I'll document all those expressions that make you smile everyday.

E3 2012: Skylander Giants Preview
While wandering the show floor this year, I got a bit of hands-on time with the upcoming Skylander Giants title from Activision.
The biggest addition is the giants themselves, of which eight are planned right now. The giants still have one of the eight elements associated with them, but are much bigger in scope than the normal characters.
They also had quite an easier time taking on enemies than the normal Skylanders. Their attacks are stronger and, like in the last game, can be leveled up. In addition, they'll also have some specific puzzles and ways to interact with the world while you progress, like pulling an island closer to walk on.
Two of the giants were shown off at E3: Tree Rex, which will come packaged with the game, and Bouncer.
The gameplay is the same as the first game, complete with jump pads and attacks that can be upgraded. All previous Skylanders will work in the game, with the level caps upgraded to level 15.
Also being added to the Skylanders are eight LightCore figures. The figures, four new characters and four Series 2 characters (which I'll touch on in a second), will light-up once you place it on the Portal of Power. It's unknown how rare these will be, but look for them to sell well on eBay if the current figures are any indication.
Besides adding some new characters to the game, the 24 original characters will also be reposed as Series 2 figures. Besides being reposed, the Series 2 figures will have new abilities called Wow Pow with new upgrades.
The last thing to note is the upgraded Portal of Power. While it's the same thing as the last title, it's now wireless, so gamers aren't tied to their system or pets can't accidently rip the cord out.
The game, when it releases this fall, will have plenty of things to purchase like the first title. The full pricing list is below.
• Giants Starter Pack (360, Wii, PS3 and 3DS): $74.99: Includes game, wireless Portal of Power, Tree Rex giant, Jet Vac Skylander (brand new), Cynder Series 2 Skylander, poster and three trading cards.
• Giants Booster Pack (360, Wii, PS3): $59.99: Game and Tree Rex giant.
• Giants individual figure: $14.99
• LightCore individual figure: $11.99
• Series 2 and new individual figures: $9.99

Tiger Hoops Outstanding Season Goes to NCAA Tournament
Tiger Basketball was back in rampant fashion for the 2012-13 season. H-SC finished the year with a 23-5 record and a 14-2 mark in the ODAC, advanced to the ODAC Tournament Semi-Finals, and earned an at-large bid to the NCAA Tournament with the opportunity to host a first-round game. While the Tigers lost 80-78 to Cabrini in the Tournament's first round, the season should be defined as nothing short of successful.
The NCAA Tournament appearance was the first since 2007. This was the first 20-win season- and is the most in a season-since the Tigers went 25-5 in 2003-04. H-SC also held strong at home yet again, ending the year with a 12-2 record in Fleet Gymnasium. H-SC has lost two or fewer games at home each of the last three seasons.
This year's squad had numerous highlights. The year got started off on a high note when Hampden-Sydney defeated NCAA Division II school St. Augustine's 70-62 in an exhibition. St. Augustine's ended their year with a 16-12 record and advanced to their conference tournament quarterfinals.
H-SC went 7-1 in non-conference competition, including a win on the road at NCAA Tournament participant Wesley College. The Tigers also defeated both Huntingdon and Johns Hopkins to win the Bojangles Holiday Challenge.
The ODAC proved to be a battle game-in and game-out yet again this year with four teams representing the conference in the NCAA Tournament. The Tigers beat Randolph on the road 79-63, swept both regular season meetings against Randolph-Macon, and fell by one point to Virginia Wesleyan to end the regular season with a 4-1 mark against NCAA Tournament teams. The Tigers finished the year near the top of Division III in several statistical rankings. H-SC was second nationally in scoring margin (+18.6), sixth in assists per game (17.5), and eighth in field goal percentage (49.7%).
Senior Harrison George (right) earned First-Team All-ODAC for the third consecutive season. He also was named a Second-Team All-Region player by D3hoops.com, his third straight season on the All-Region Team. Additionally, the National Association of Basketball Coaches (NABC) tabbed him as a Second-Team All-District performer. George concludes his outstanding four-year career as the school's fifth all-time leading scorer with 1,793 career points. He also ranks sixth in school history for career steals and career blocked shots.
Junior Khobi Williamson also garnered First-Team All-ODAC honors. Williamson led the ODAC in field goal percentage at 65.8%, a mark good enough to place him third in Division III. In ODAC-only games, he was the top free throw shooter in the conference at 87.5%, placed fourth in points per game at 16.1, and also ranked sixth in rebounds per game at 7.7.
Swim Season Review
The new men's swimming program finished its inaugural season with a solid win against Greensboro College and Randolph-Macon College. The Men's Invitational meet was hosted at the Greensboro Athletic Center by the Old Dominion Athletic Conference in conjunction with the Conference Women's Swimming Championship. The ODAC does not recognize men's swimming because there are not enough conference schools with an eligible program. As Hampden-Sydney's program continues, it will seek out a conference.
Throughout the year, H-SC co-hosted meets with Hollins University and Sweet Briar College, which allowed the single-sex programs to compete in dual meets. In their first full intercollegiate season, the Tigers swam to victories against Greensboro, Gallaudet, Davis & Elkins, and a first-place finish at the above mentioned ODAC Men's Invitational.
The Tigers were led by their Senior Captain Ke Shang who holds individual program records in the 100-yard backstroke (1:01.77), 100-yard butterfly (1:00.35), 200-yard butterfly (2:25.98), 200-yard IM (2:14.89), and 400-yard IM (4:55.35). The program will graduate two seniors in May, Shang and John Bishop. Both swimmers were founding members of the team and served as captains this year. The future of the program looks very promising with a class of 13 freshmen led by Andy Snow, Alton Brieske, Treavor Hartwell, and Ford Scott, who set individual records in their rookie seasons.
The swim team hosted U.S. Gold Medalist Jeff Rouse on December 14. Rouse won three gold medals and a silver medal at the 1992 and 1996 Olympic Games, setting world records in the backstroke, and is a member of the International Swimming Hall of Fame. Rouse spoke with the team sharing his Olympic experience and offering advice on succeeding in the pool, as well as in life.
During the winter break, Leggett Pool underwent extensive renovations to improve the facilities; these will allow Hampden-Sydney to host official meets next season. The improvements included a record board, an electronic scoreboard and timing system, starting blocks, new lap lanes, and repairs and improvements to the pool deck and observation deck.
Since Hampden-Sydney added swimming as the ninth NCAA Division III sport on October 28, 2011, the swim team has expanded from 14 to 20 swimmers. The H-SC swimming program is already a highly competitive program in the region.

Report/gallery: Mayweather vs. Guerrero
Ringside by Chris Cozzone
Photos by Mary Ann Owen/ BoxinginLasVegas.com
Thirty-six-year-old Floyd "Money" Mayweather may yet grow old.
But last night was not his time to do so.
Needing just two rounds to expel the specters of rust and age, Mayweather proved the naysayers wrong, yet again, by defending his pound-for-pound crown and one of the welterweight belts with a one-sided spanking of Robert "Ghost" Guerrero. The challenger proved dreadfully ineffectual against the drearily masterful, transforming what was a hoped-for war, into something of a sparring session, which evoked sporadic waves of boos from an anxious crowd . . .

Gov. Perry: Texas Must Continue to Lead in Education Reform
Says Comprehensive Tax Reform will Lead to Stable Funding for Schools, Continued Economic Growth
Gov. Rick Perry today said Texas' record on reforming education is the best in the nation, and that comprehensive tax reform will lead to a more reliable funding system for public schools. Perry spoke at the statewide education summit hosted by the Texas Public Education Reform Foundation.
"As a result of education reform, scores on national assessments have gone up in every age group, ethnicity and subject area," Perry said. "More high schools than ever before are offering college credit courses, more students are taking the SAT, and a record number of children are attending an institution of higher learning because we are challenging them to achieve."
Perry also said the Texas economy's strong performance is evidence that education reform is working. "One way to judge whether schools are succeeding is to look at the job climate, because one of the top factors employers consider in choosing where to expand is the presence of an educated workforce," Perry said. "To me, the fact that so many businesses are expanding in Texas is a ringing endorsement of the progress we are making in education."
Perry noted that since 2003, Texas has gained 530,000 new jobs and the Texas business climate has been called the best in the nation. The Federal Reserve recently reported that the Texas economy is running the strongest it has since 1998.
Perry said lawmakers must remember that good jobs and great schools are mutually dependent as they meet next month to consider comprehensive tax reform.
"Jobs provide the government revenue to pay for education, and education provides the workers needed to attract good jobs," Perry said. "I view the upcoming special session as an opportunity to make lasting improvements to our tax structure so that it is broader, fairer and provides a more reliable source of revenue for our schools. And it is a chance to give Texans a significant property tax cut that stands the test of time."
"It makes sense to deliver lasting property tax relief because it will make the dream of homeownership more affordable for millions of Texas families. Owning a home is not only an important part of the American dream, but research studies show that children of homeowners are more likely to do well in school and less likely to develop behavior problem," Perry said. "A lasting property tax cut will not only give more Texas families the opportunity to own their own home, it will give their children a better opportunity to succeed in the classroom and a better opportunity to succeed in life."
Perry said the education reform movement in Texas must continue to move forward, although he said legislators should start with property tax reform in the upcoming special session because the Supreme Court has ruled the current system unconstitutional.
"We must continue to push for reforms such as stronger accountability for taxpayers, higher standards that will ensure more children graduate prepared to succeed in college, and salaries that reward teachers for their hard work and provide incentives for them to do even better," Perry said. "If the speaker and lieutenant governor can bring me a school reform bill that both chambers agree on, I will gladly add it to the call once the tax issue is resolved."

What temp does it top out at? And how many amps do you think does it draw?
Finished up my home made heat treat oven today, ran it up to 2000 degrees with no problem. Annealed some soumi bolts, here is a pic of them at 1300 degrees
What temp does it top out at? And how many amps do you think does it draw?
Here is a link to the guys webpage that got me started on the project. http://www.britishblades.com/home/ar...?action=show&a mp;a mp;a mp;showarticle=31
Here is the company that sell the temp control I am using, they have a basic on for about $35 I used on my powder coat oven and an $89 one with ramp soak and hold ability I am using on the heat treat oven , ebay also has quite a few of the conrolers in the $30-$40 range http://auberins.com/index.php?main_p...oduct_info&cPa th=1&products_id=15 This guy also sells a nice solid state relay used for switching the element on and off.
These guys sell a ready made element that works well for the heat treat oven , same place the brit article refrences http://www.budgetcastingsupply.com/
If your cheap like me, you can order the heating element wire from these guys and wind 5 elements your self for the cost of 1 from BCS http://www.resistancewire.com/mainpage.php?page=home
I wind element on the lathe just like winding a spring, quick and simple, You can check resistance of the element as you go with a multimeter and cut at the proper place for the resistance you need. Kanthal is the wire you will need for this project, I bought a 100 foot piece on ebay for $16 delivered of the .047 diameter.
For the fire bricks i bought the k23 fire bricks from Davens in atlanta for $2.35 a piece http://www.davensceramiccenter.com/ , these are avail on ebay, only problem I found was they are very delicate and most places want to individualy wrap them and shipping is about 2 buck s a brick. If you live in the big city just look for pottery supply and you should be able to find them .
I am building my oven a little on the large side, 13x13 x 22. Hope some of this rambling helps
Its been holding a stainless knife blade at 2300 for about an hour now, element is rated for 2350 continous
here is a pic of my home wound heating element wound from sandvick Kanthal
a few pics of the frame to hold the firebricks
finished up
pic of the temp controller, $35 on ebay, and a $3 thermocouple from mcmaster
That is so cool. Thanx for the info I will have to give this a try for sure.

A real UFO abduction?
The Carl Higdon 1974 episode fascinates.
Mr. Higdon, an oil driller, recounted (as Coral and Jim Lorenzen reported) that he was confronted, while hunting elk in Medicine Bow National Forest, by a "man" who called himself Ausso, and ended up inside a "transparent cubicle" -- eventually transported to Ausso's world.
(The full story can be found online – use Google – or in such tomes as The Encyclopedia of Extraterrestrial Encounters, Edited by Ronald D. Story.)
It seems that many ufologists have dismissed the Higdon event as fiction, or delusional.
But Higdon's detailed account has elements found in other "out-of-world" transportations, and we doubt that Higdon had any familiarity with the stories that are very much like his.
And those other stories did not originate in the UFO literature.
Two episodes of Higdon-like transportations appear in Jewish Pseudepigrapha; the first in The Book of Enoch and the second in The Book of the Secrets of Enoch where Enoch, who is scantily mentioned in The Hebrew Bible (The Old Testament), is taken up into other worlds by an alien or other-worldly being, and experiences people and places similar to those seen by Carl Higdon.
Higdon: Given "pills" as food, saw animals (elk) he was hunting in forest when confronted by Ausso, taken up to the heavens (from which he saw the Earth below), taken (after he "landed") to a high tower where he saw a brilliant, rotating light, heard buzzing sound, saw gray-haired man, young girls and ephebic boys dressed in regular clothes, scrutinized by a wall from which sprang a glassy shield, told he wasn't what "aliens" needed, and had an overwhelming disorientation after the experience.
Enoch: Taken by "others" to a place of luminaries, saw (normal) men, saw Heaven's pillars and their fiery lights, saw brilliant stones and ornaments, and all the beasts of the Earth, fed milk and honey, saw "angels' who had "no difference in their faces, or behavior, or manner of dress," came near a wall built of crystals, saw a great light, became "afraid, and began to tremble with great terror," returned to Earth to write of experience.
There are other accounts, Biblical, that mimic Higdon's sojourn: the Ezekiel vision [Ezekiel 10 ff.] and the transportation of Elias [4 Kings 2:11]
But there are similarities in other various literatures and mythologies, such as that of Phaeton [Bullfinch, Chapter V] taken to the palace of the Sun, aloft on glittering columns with silver doors. And he saw nymphs, whose "faces were not alike nor yet unlike – but such as sisters ought to be." And he saw the animals of the gods. Phaeton looked down upon the Earth. After a chariot test, he is told he is not favored by the gods, is thrown from a lofty tower and smitten by Jupiter's lighting bolt, falling to Earth, dead.
An African myth – The Son of Kim-ana-u-eze – in African myths and Tales [Dell, 1963, page 87 ff.] relates how the son of Kim-ana-u-eze is raised up to the lofts of the moon and sun, is fed, has intercourse with (normal) people, is surrounded by beasts, and has occasion to experience things similar to what Higdon experienced.
Many subliminal UFO abduction tales contain "details" common to the Higdon story, and those found in mythological, medieval accounts, and especially religious experiences, often called ecstasy or rapture fervor.
But the common elements bespeak something other than a borrowing of "details." The works are to disparate in time and place, and the "details" are arcane usually.
Higdon could have known about the Enoch literature, but that seems unlikely, as the Enochian literature wasn't and still isn't well-known. Also, Higdon's account is just dissimilar enough to rule out "plagiarism."
Moreover, Higdon, didn't try to capitalize on his "adventure" – either monetarily or notoriously. He preferred to seek an explanation, ultimately hiding out from curiosity seekers, as Timothy Green Beckley noted in his account.
And the story told by Higdon, as bizarre as it appears on its face, has a patina of truth about it; the phantasmagorical aspects are too mundane.
So something happened to Carl Higdon. It was a relatively long time ago, as such things go, but the tale may contain a clue as to what ufologists should be dealing with when they get away from the nuts-and-bolts part of the UFO phenomena.
After all, UFOs, as we keep relating, are not just one thing; they are many, and some UFOs, or abductions, may have nothing to do with extraterrestrials as we understand the term in its SciFi context.

Mychal Rivera celebrated his 22nd birthday Saturday afternoon with a memorable performance at Neyland Stadium. The redshirt senior caught four passes for 70 yards and a touchdown.
"I came into the game with the goal of scoring a touchdown on my birthday," Rivera said. "That's a high expectation and I filled it, so I'm happy."
His 19-yard catch in the second quarter for Tennessee's second touchdown capped the Vols' shortest drive of the day, a two play, 40-yard series set up by a Devrin Young 35-yard punt return. After catching just one pass in the Vols' opener, head coach Derek Dooley said it was important for Rivera to egt on track.
"It was good to get him going," Dooley said. "I think he came out of NC State a little disappointed. He caught a touchdown and 70 yards is a good number for a tight end."
"Last week, I only had one catch and I felt like I could help the team more," Rivera said. "I'm real confident in my abilities. I know we have a lot of receivers, but I felt like I could really help more and I showed it."
Of his three catches outside of the touchdown, two went for first downs. The consistency allowed the Tennessee offense the opportunity to get in synch after a tough start to the game.
"It was a real slow start," Rivera said of the first quarter, which yielded a lone score. "We were looking forward to keeping up our fast tempo and continuing to execute our plays."
Now the attention turns to next Saturday and the SEC opener against Florida. Rivera said that with Georgia State now in the rear view mirror, the team was ready to prepare for the Gators.
"We've already talked about meetings for the week and getting ready to watch Florida film," Rivera said. We're locked in."

They say lucky is a word that can always describe Guyana when it comes to natural disasters. We are always plagued by human hands for revolutionary means, but there isn't a storm that can knock our lights out. Or is there?
Some would say flooding is the only thing that can devastate our coasts. Truth is, Guyana has been having floods since we were a Dutch colony; after a spring tide that washed away most of Kingston and completely washed away the Governor's House, the Dutch decided to build a seawall in 1855.
Seawalls were even more essential after cycles of mass coastal erosions and deposits were recorded. There were once two plantations north of the present Georgetown seawall and the Kingston ward—Plantation Kierfield and Plantation Sandy Point—both were completely washed away by 1804.
Take a good look at the Demerara River mouth. Doesn't it look a bit uneven and narrow to you? It is geographic evidence that the northern lands were constantly being washed away. If not for the seawalls and the long jetties protruding out there, Pegasus would have probably been washed away along with the other half of Kingston and Eve Leary.
But enough of history. The point of this article is, "Wha miss yuh ain't pass yuh." Guyanese boast about our food security and lack of devastation, some even forget how fortunate we are because it is not something we have to deal with but the tables are being turned.
On the Facebook group 'You know you're Guyanese when…' a man posted how the Guyanese diaspora have left the 'Land of No Disasters' and run to the States to be lashed by Hurricane Sandy, but will run back to Guyana. As expected the foreign Guyanese and some sentimental nationals bombarded the man's insensitivity to his affected brothers and sisters.
As global warming makes itself more prevalent, Guyana saw two rare weather phenomena last year – the tornado-like waterspout that developed on the Atlantic Coast and Hurricane Tomas that was set straight to our shores. Fortunately the storm changed its course outwards. There is a reason the coast has vast bodies of conservancy dams and uncountable canals, we are not completely untouchable and the government is slowly preparing for the worst (hopefully).
Another phenomenon that can very well happen is soil liquefaction. This is a process by which solid ground can lose its solidity in response to repeated stress and tremors gradually loosening the mass to act as a liquid or pushing underlying water up to the surface.
The entire city is a swamp and the Dutch knew this. They built their capital way down at Stabroek – a few miles inland, New Amsterdam is four miles inland and Paramaribo, Suriname is way around the bend of the Paramaribo River. Trust the English to extend the capital right at the reaches of the coast and ever since we lived with the (somewhat dormant) fear of being washed away.
We would not have the rattling of earthquakes because of the strong 'Guiana Shield' rocks but constant tremors like we felt recently can surely cause the swampy soil to liquidate.
We should not be insensitive to the cries of others. We are not untouchable. Volcanoes send out tiny tremors and rumblings before the huge explosion.
Turns out we are not so lucky after all. (Jairo Rodrigues)

Thanks to B-D reader 'Mark' we've got our hands on four brand new stills from Universal Pictures' The Wolfman, which now arrives in theaters February 12, 2010 after recently completing some massive reshoots. One of the images is pretty cool as it features a silhouette of star Benicio del Toro as the Wolf Man deep in the woods, can you imagine the suspense we'd be in if Universal didn't already release Maxim photo shoot quality images of the monster? Like the 1941 original that starred Lon Chaney Jr., new pic will be set in Victorian England. Del Toro will play a man who returns from America to his ancestral homeland, gets bitten by a werewolf and begins a hairy moonlight existence.

It doesn't seem that long ago that I reviewed the IBM ThinkPad T41p. It was a truly excellent notebook and I was very sad when it had to go back to IBM. If it wasn't for the fact that it was very expensive, I might have considered buying one for myself. But now I have the T42p sitting in front of me, and it's more than likely that this could become the object of my mobile desires.
However, the notebook I'm typing on right now is a pre-production unit, so I can't run any benchmarks on it. What I have is a near-finished sample that gives me a very good idea of what the production model will look like when it ships in a few weeks time.
The first thing I noticed about the T42p is that it's a bit bigger than the T41p I reviewed. The main reason for this is the slightly larger screen at 15in instead of 14.1in. Now, notebook manufacturers have a habit of playing a numbers game when it comes to screen size - adding an inch just to look that bit better than the competition, even though the resolution stays the same. Thankfully that isn't what IBM has done with this little beauty. The screen on the T42p sports a resolution of 1,600 x 1,200 which is pretty impressive for a display this size.
Some people may think that such a high resolution on a 15in screen will make everything too small, but I have to say that this is one of the best notebook displays I have ever used. Yes, the icons are a bit smaller than on a 1,400 x 1,050 screen, but the extra desktop real estate is huge bonus. When I use a notebook I usually have multiple applications open at once and can often be cutting and pasting from one window to another. Having such a high resolution makes my job a lot easier. That said, I don't think I'd want to be running a resolution any higher than this on a 15in screen.
Because the T42p is more of a mobile workstation than a notebook computer, that fantastic screen is coupled with an ATI Mobility Fire GL T2 graphics chipset, complete with 128MB of memory. So if you happen to be a CAD designer or even a 3D modeler, this could be an ideal mobile companion for you. Oh, and of course the Fire GL T2 chipset will make the T42p a pretty good gaming notebook as well, for when you're not working.
IBM has definitely raided the top shelf for the core components inside the T42p. The CPU is Intel's latest 1.8GHz Pentium M 745, or Dothan as it was known before launch. Not only is this the fastest Pentium M in terms of clock speed, but it also sports a whopping 2MB of on-die cache, which will push the performance that bit further. The increase in cache size has been made possible by a reduction in fabrication size - the Dothan chip is manufactured using a .90nm process. In this review machine the CPU was backed up with a generous 1GB of RAM, which should allow it to handle anything you'd want to throw at a mobile workstation.

[MEXICO-USA REPORT CARD] The Americans were shorthanded for their latest trip to Estadio Azteca, yet they won there for the first time, 1-0, with a goal by
Michael Orozco Fiscal and the defensive work of Tim Howard and Geoff Cameron. Three subs -- Brek Shea, Terence Boyd and
Orozco teamed up for the goal that stunned Mexico in the 79th minute. Soccer America's Ridge Mahoney grades the U.S. players in what was the first
U.S. win on Mexican soil. ...
7 Tim Howard (Everton/ENG) 79/0.
He wasn't seriously tested until the final minutes, during which he parried a deflected shot with an athletic recovery, and then stoned Mexico with a superb reflect save of a point-blank header. As one of only three players with experience against Mexico in the Azteca, he led the troops magnificently.
6 Fabian Johnson (Hoffeinheim/GER) 7/0.
Started at right back and finished on the left while playing a huge role in containing wingers Pablo Barrera and Andres Guardado, and also patrolling the back post when crosses arrived from the opposite wing. His covering clearance bailed out Edu midway through the second half.
6 Maurice Edu (Glasgow Rangers/SCO) 38/1.
Freed of those bothersome ball-distributing duties required in midfield, he marked tightly, and tackled confidently. He cut off a few promising balls played behind him but wasn't always quick enough to deal with dangerous situations coming from the flanks. He seemed a step ahead of Mexican playmaker Angel Reyna while adding a vital element -- speed -- that the centerback slot has lacked.
7 Geoff Cameron (Stoke City/ENG) 6/0.
Very solid and reliable for most of the night, aside from a mistimed slide tackle in the opening minutes. Still, Javier Hernandez got three good looks, one of which he headed wide with Cameron completely marooned. Cameron took advantage of Mexico's strange dearth of pressure to pass accurately and performed admirably given the short preparation time and intimidating venue. He won balls in the air and dished out a few teeth-rattling tackles. He almost certainly prevented a goal by just getting his head to a cross arrowing to a wide-open Chicharito.
4 Edgar Castillo (Club Tijuana) 7/0.
A defensive nightmare, plain and simple. Mexico's few first-half attacks exposed his corner, and halftime sub Elias Hernandez scorched him repeatedly. His poor positioning and one-v-one weaknesses were glaring and though he certainly can, and did, use the ball effectively in the middle third he simply didn't measure up defensively.
5 Jermaine Jones (Schalke 04/GER) 22/2.
Committed his usual share of fouls and took his customary caution while squelching a lot of what Mexico tried through the middle. He also dropped deep to head away a few crosses when Mexico aimed balls for midfielders arriving late.
4 Danny Williams (Hoffenheim/GER) 6/0.
He seemed off his game from the first minute and never got into any sort of flow. He stepped into tackles well enough, but in the attack his decisions and timing were lacking, except for a throw-in to Herculez Gomez that set up a chance.
6 Kyle Beckerman (Real Salt Lake) 22/1.
Lost at times but tuned-in more often than not, Beckerman helped contain Reyna and sharpened his passing as the game wore on. He atoned for a corner conceded by an atrocious pass to no one by setting in motion the U.S. scoring sequence with a ball out wide to Brek Shea.
4 Jose Torres (Pachuca/MEX) 19/0.
Deployed as the playmaker behind two forwards, Torres faltered badly. He was hampered by a sluggish Landon Donovan and sporadic assistance from the flanks, but he also committed several unforced turnovers when a few seconds of possession were needed. His best moment came midway through the first half when he pushed a ball across the goalmouth that neither Gomez nor Williams could touch into the net. He can play at this level but not in this role.
4 Landon Donovan (Los Angeles Galaxy) 144/49.
Seldom ran at the opposition or worked effective combinations with his teammates before being replaced at halftime, reportedly because of a tight hamstring. Gave the ball that Torres slid in front of goal.
5 Herculez Gomez (Santos Laguna/MEX) 14/4.
Gave a Herculean effort, as usual, and dropped into his own defensive third to contribute a few headed clearances. Passed up a wide-open Terence Boyd when set clear to instead hit a routine shot, and shot right to the keeper with a long-distance free kick.
5 DaMarcus Beasley (Puebla/MEX) 97/17.
Came on at halftime to add energy in the attacking third, and played both wings as well as the middle to confuse the opposition.
6 Terence Boyd (Rapid Vienna/AUT) 5/0.
Brought some beef against a rather listless Mexican defense, and held his ground and the ball long enough in a crowd to roll a back-heel that became an historic assist.
6 Graham Zusi (Sporting Kansas City) 3/1.
Clipped a nice free kick just over Boyd's head, and cleared away a free kick that had dropped into a dangerous spot.
7 Michael Orozco Fiscal (San Luis/MEX) 5/1.
Took over at right back when Johnson switched to the left, and whatever he did defensively was forgotten when he got his foot to Boyd's back heel.
7 Brek Shea (FC Dallas) 13/0.
Let's not too carried away about his 13 minutes of play, but he looked like the Good Shea when he buzzed down the left to set up the goal, and unhinged the Mexican back line again in the final minutes.
NR Joe Corona (Club Tijuana/MEX) 2/0.
He can tell his grandkids he was on the field when the USA won in Azteca.

Greenville teen named Miss Spirit of the State Outstanding Teen
GRAND RAPIDS — Alisha Gatchel has been involved — and won — local scholarship pageants such as the Young Miss Danish Festival Scholarship pageant and the Miss Heartland Outstanding Teen pageant.
The Greenville 16-year-old now has one more to add to her resume. She was crowned Miss Spirit of the State Outstanding Teen earlier this month.
Held at the Forty-One Sheldon theatre, the 12th annual Miss Spirit of the State and Miss Spirit of the State Outstanding Teen Scholarship pageant is an open event in which those who take the top spot qualify to become a contestant at the Miss Michigan or Miss Michigan Outstanding Teen Scholarship pageants.
"Honestly, I went into the pageant knowing I would be OK with the outcome, whatever it may be," said Gatchel, who is about to begin her junior year at Greenville High School, "Every pageant has a new panel of judges, and you just go in and do the best you can."
The event has five phases of competition — Private Interview, Evening Wear, Onstage Question, Talent and Physical Fitness. Gatchel wore a long white chiffon gown accented with silver to garner the Evening Wear Award and performed her self-composed piano/vocal presentation "Stronger Than This" to also bring home the Talent Award.
"We had our interviews Friday night (Aug. 9) and then the pageant was on Saturday, Aug. 10. I felt like it was one of the best interviews I had ever done," said Gatchel, who is the daughter of Carl and Holly Gatchel.
Her onstage question was, "If you were given a million dollars, and had to spend it on yourself, and not give it to charity, how would you spend it?" She replied, "If I were given that much money, I would travel and explore new countries."
Gatchel won the Young Miss Danish Festival three years ago and then competed as an at-large contestant at the Miss Michigan Outstanding Teen pageant. She was crowned Miss Heartland Outstanding Teen in February and vied for the Miss Michigan Outstanding Teen title this past June.
She now has until June 2014 to prepare as Miss Spirit of the State Outstanding Teen.
"This will be my last chance in the teen program as I am aging out," she said, "And I am really excited about it!"
The Miss Spirit Of the State program will provide coaching and preparation for the state pageant by providing a wardrobe consultant who will create a custom evening gown and a talent outfit, hairdressers, make-up designers and coaches for various areas of talent, according to Miss Spirit of the State Pageant Director Noedea Skidmore.
"Alisha has such strong vocal and piano skills and we will have someone work with her to work on showmanship," Skidmore said. "We will do all we can to prepare the girls for an overall package, but also make sure they stay true to themselves, stay real, and not become programmed or stereotypical of pageantry."
Many contestants qualifying for the Miss Michigan Scholarship pageant earn their way through local pageants and then have obligations for that organization through the year as they prepare for June, according to Skidmore. Miss Spirit of the State winners will represent the program when necessary, but the main goal is to prepare for the Miss Michigan pageant, she said.
"We will share Alisha with the Miss Heartland program until February, when she crowns her successor, and then focus directly on to the Miss Michigan's Outstanding Teen program and get Alisha ready to compete at the national level," said Skidmore.

Word of the Day, May 29, 2014
" I've heard all the stories. I've seen all the signs. Witnessed all the glory. Tasted all that's fine. Nothing compares to the greatness of knowing You, Lord. Nothing compares to the greatness of knowing You, Lord. "
[B]Philippians 3:13-14
13 Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,
14 I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.[/B]
Do you confess to be perfect? Do you think you are always right? Do you think you have reach your goal in your life and your relationship with Christ? Are you striving to be closer with Him each day? Are you striving to serve Him more each day? As I studied this in Canaan, I realized that my past goals were not of a better relationship with my Saviour, but my goals were for success, a better duck hunter, a better business and a better life for me and my family. Now, don't get me wrong, most of these thing in general may not be bad, but when they take over and become your God, I had things backward, God needed to be my only God.
Paul had lived a life full of sin before he became a Christian and had reasons to forget the past. We have all done things in the past that we need to forget. Because of our hope in Jesus Christ, we can finally let go of our past and move forward for Him. Concentrate on our relationship with God, realize you have been forgiven and move forward with your faith in Him and His restoration for you.
The calling of God has threefold emphasis. First, He call all of us everywhere to repent, to ask for mercy on our sins in our lives. Second, we are all called for complete dedication to Him. Third, God calls us to a sphere of service, ministry or a holy calling. The Bible records three "calls" of Christ to His disciples to be a Christian. God calls us to Christians, He calls us to to sanctification and He at times calls His servants to do special services for the Kingdom of Christ.
I needed to leave them behind, forgetting them and start running the race for Christ, start setting my goals for how I could better serve Christ and to see the things before me that Christ was showing me. Is our goals to help the helpless, to love thy neighbor, to love and help our brothers and sisters in God's kingdom? Is our goal to go and mow someone's yard in the 90 degree heat after a long week, cook another meal to help the sick, a young family or a broken family or a pregnant mom or someone that lost their job. Is this our goal? Is this the mark that we press towards?
Christ promises eternity with Him at the end of the race. Living a life like Christ is hard and demands are our energies for Him. We can forget our past, fight for the mark and the prize of our eternal crown. In Christ Jesus, the author and finisher of every good thing, seek the mark of Jesus Christ.
" Great is Your love and justice, God of Jacob You use the weak to lead the strong You lead us in the song of Your salvation And all Your people sing along. Your grace is enough for me."
Timothy Furness

Grand Ayatollah Sanei and Ayatollha Zanjani condemn Israel attacks on Gaza Flotilla
Source: Bayatzanjani.net
Date: May 31, 2010
In the Name of God, the Compassionate, the Merciful
The brutal attack of the Zionist regime on the ships carrying food, clothing and other necessities for the oppressed people of Palestine was a disaster that shows that this regime does not abide to even the most elementary principles of humanity and ethics, and only follows the logic of force and oppression. They have attacked these ships despite being aware that they were carrying products that could only be used to save and provide the most basic necessities for a oppressed and innocent people and where donated by people who had no intentions other than humanity [charity].
I hereby condemn this inhumane act that is against all standards and principles of humanity accepted by the collective wisdom of the people of the world , and urgently plead to all those who seek freedom to clearly stand against this wrong and tyrannical action and condemn and expose the Zionist regime and defend the oppressed people of Palestine and particularly Gaza through serious action.

In the name of God
"Now such were their houses, – in utter ruin, – because they practised wrong-doing" Quran 27:52 [1]
The attack of the occupying Zionist regime on the ships carrying humanitarian aid for the defenseless and oppressed people of Gaza that resulted in some altruist human beings being killed and injured has caused great sorrow.
Hereby, I condemn this brutal and inhumane act and ask all freedom-loving people, international and human rights organizations, and governments to do all they can to fulfill their role in condemning and bringing to justice those who ordered and carried out these attacks. All nations should pressure their governments into putting this inhumane regime into political and economical isolation. Everyone should know that this regime is not only a danger to the people of Palestine, the Islam, and the Muslims' first prayer direction [Qiblah], but it is a danger to all humanity and one of the manifestations of corruption on earth. Thus, since confidence in such issues [spreading corruption] – and even with the possibility of such an issue- hiding true beliefs [taqiyyah] and considering political interests by those in power is prohibited [and haraam] and it is upon us to stand against it with all possible means. All those who struggle for this cause are "struggling in the path of God" [Mujahidin Fi Sabil Allah] and those killed are highly revered martyrs and true instances of those who "are sustained by their lord " [2].
