otherwise designated by the Supreme Court. Members may be reappointed to one successive
six-year term. Terms shall be staggered. Vacancies occurring from causes other than expiration
of term of office will be filled by the Supreme Court as they occur, and the person so appointed

Committee members.
(2) Members shall refrain from taking part in any disciplinary proceeding in
which a judge similarly situated would be required to recuse.
(3) Fourteen reserve members shall be appointed to serve as Panel C and Panel
D, a pool from which replacements may be drawn in those instances in which members of the
Committee are disqualified or unable to serve. Ten of the reserve members shall be lawyers with
at least two from each Congressional District. Four of the reserve members shall not be lawyers
and shall be selected from the State at large. In other respects, the terms of service for reserve
members shall be the same as provided for the Committee. Reserve members shall possess the
authority, powers, immunities, and entitlements provided for the Committee by these Procedures.
The Committee Chairperson or Executive Director shall select reserve members from a rotating
list to serve, individually or collectively, as the situation requires, in those instances in which
members of a panel of the Committee consider themselves disqualified or are unable to serve.
Reserve members serving as replacements shall be selected so as to maintain the appropriate
lawyer/non-lawyer composition. Reserve members do not have to be selected unless the
required quorum of the Committee or a panel thereof is not present. If necessary, the Supreme
Court may appoint additional persons to serve as reserve members to permit the Committee to
discharge its duties.

for civil process pursuant to the Arkansas Rules of Civil Procedure, requiring the presence of any
person, or the attendance of any witness before the Committee for the purpose of testimony, or in
furtherance of an investigation. Such process shall be issued under the seal of the Committee
provided for in subsection C(7) of this Section and be signed by the Chairperson of the
Committee, the Secretary, the chair of a panel of the Committee, or the Executive Director. Any
subpoenas issued herein shall clearly indicate that the subpoenas are issued in connection with a
confidential investigation under these Procedures and that it is regarded as contempt of the
Supreme Court for a person subpoenaed to breach the confidentiality of the investigation. If
found to be in contempt of the Supreme Court under these Procedures, a person may be punished
by incarceration, imposition of a fine, or both. In addition, it shall be grounds for discipline
under these Procedures for a subpoenaed attorney to breach the confidentiality of the
investigation. It shall not be regarded as a breach of confidentiality for a person subpoenaed to
seek or consult with legal counsel in regard to the subpoena, nor shall the confidentiality apply to
subpoenas issued in connection with a public hearing.
(9) The Committee, through the Chairperson or a panel chair, or the Executive
Director, may seek immunity from criminal prosecution for a reluctant witness, using the

other applicable statute.

by the Supreme Court and may comment on existing and proposed Rules.
(11) The Committee shall periodically review the operation of the system with
the Supreme Court.
(12) The Committee, working with the Office of Professional Conduct, shall
inform the public about the existence and operation of the system and the disposition of each
matter in which public discipline has been imposed, a lawyer has been transferred to or from
disability inactive status, or a lawyer has been reinstated. Communication options should include
toll-free telephone and the Internet.
(13) The Committee shall perform administrative oversight over the Office of
Professional Conduct which shall include: reviewing the productivity and efficiency of the
office; assessing caseload management; reviewing and making recommendations concerning
budgetary matters; making recommendations to the Executive Director; and improving the
statistical records of the office. Administrative responsibilities may be delegated to panels of the
Committee on a rotating basis, which may include an Executive Committee selected by the
(14) When so requested by a federal judge under the Uniform Federal Rules of
Disciplinary Enforcement adopted by the United States District Courts of Arkansas on May 1,
1980, or successor rules, the Committee may act as the disciplinary agency, and the Executive
Director as counsel, in a federal disciplinary action. Any additional expense incurred in the
processing of a federal complaint will be paid from the funds arising from the assessments levied
pursuant to the Uniform Federal Rules and available for that purpose. When final action is taken
under a federal complaint, a report of that action will be made to the federal judge who referred
the matter, and the Committee may also furnish to the federal judge any other information from
its files necessary to fulfill its duties as disciplinary agency.
D. Immunity. The Committee, its individual members, its agents, the Executive Director,
and employees and agents of the Office of Professional Conduct are absolutely immune from suit
or action for their activities in discharge of their duties under these Procedures, to the full extent
of judicial immunity in Arkansas.

Director as true and correct and for the official business of the Committee or the Office of
Professional Conduct.

To say Paul Barth is a fan of the Corvette Pace Car would be like sayingGeneral Motors did a good thing by green-lighting the '53.
Both areunderstatements of hyperbolic proportions. This Louisville, Kentucky,resident and Corvette collector extraordinaire has one of every replicaproduced since the plastic fantastic premiered on track at the 1978Indianapolis 500. But what's a man to do when GM decides that there willbe no '04 Pace Car reproductions? The answer, in this case, was simplein concept if nothing else: Get the Indianapolis 500 Hall of Fame Museumto authorize one.
Paul, who works as the fire chief of the McMahan FireProtection District, has always lived for this side of the hobby. Itonly takes one look at Paul's collection to see that he means businesswhen it comes to his passion for the Indy cars. From his '78 with 2,200miles on the clock, to his '86 that was one of two cars on display atthe 1986 World's Fair in Vancouver, Canada, to his '95, '98, and '03with just over 300 miles combined, Paul has an impressive collectionthat turns the heads of those who see it. So, to insure everyone has achance to view them, Paul has charitably donated several of his cars forthe viewing pleasure of all who visit the National Corvette Museum. Oneneeds to look no further than the NCM Skydome to see his memorabilia andselected rides among several other special Corvettes on display. Withthis sort of dedication to his favorite pastime, you can bet Paul wasdisappointed when GM decided there would be no '04 Pace Car replicassold to the general public. Not willing to give up the good fight, Paulset to work to ensure his garage would not be without one.
When it cametime to race, GM and the Indy 500 Hall of Fame Museum had three actualPace Cars built. In addition, there were 29 Corvette Festival cars thatwere equipped and decaled exactly like the Pace Car, with the exceptionof the blue paint on the lower and rear. These Festival cars were usedat the Indianapolis 500 then rebadged for use at the Brickyard 400. AsPaul told us, "Out of the 29 cars, only 14 were available for sale tothe general public. GM has retained 15 of them." Of the three originals,one went to Indy winner Buddy Rice, one to the Museum, and GM retainedthe third.
Moving like an F1 racer through the straightaways, Paularranged for purchase of a Festival Car. Once the respective tracks hadfinished with them, it was the No. 3, used by the George family, thatPaul would claim as his own. Of course, the Hulsman-George family is theprimary group involved with the Indianapolis 500, and it was Paul's carthat was used by Nancy George. Jokingly referred to as his "high milesVette," the '04 C5 rolled into Paul's life with just a hair over 1,600miles showing. But this is not where the story ends.
Over the nextseveral weeks, Paul talked with the guru of all things Pace Car, HowardKirchenbauer. Howard spends his days at the Indy 500 and Brickyard 400handling the Pace Cars for both races and is the driving force behindwhat some of us enjoy most about the event--the display cars themselves.Howard recognized Paul's plight and began doing some legwork for theanxious owner. You see, while it may be possible to decal any car tolook like the real thing, to be authentic, Paul needed the decal setfrom the Michigan manufacturer. Due to copy-right laws, the producersrequested written permission from the Hall of Fame Museum to give the'04 what it needed.
It was during all of this paper chasing that Paulsent his Vette to be refinished to match the original look. So, whileHoward burned the midnight oil, Jason's Body Shop of Indianapolissprayed some late-night paint. One month later, on September 21, 2004,Paul received permission to have the much-needed decals printed, a dayPaul remembers clearly. "The decal set came in two parts. The first partwas a decal that was placed on the car to paint the unusual blue designdown the sides and across the back. The decal was removed after paintingand the actual stickers that you see on the car today were installed."It was Howard who took special care in the final step. After placingPaul's car alongside the Museum-owned Vette, Howard applied the decalsat the Indianapolis 500 Hall of Fame Museum to ensure they matched theoriginal exactly. And so it was, on December 7th, that the car wasdelivered to Paul as an early Christmas present. As he told us, "To myknowledge, this is the only '04 Pace Car replica authorized by theIndianapolis 500 Hall of Fame Museum known to exist." What better way tocelebrate all things Corvette and the Indianapolis 500 than with theonly authorized replica of the Indy Pace Car? A very Merry Christmasindeed.
Off To the NCM
Having remained in touch with Paul Barth since first meeting him at the2003 Pace Car Reunion, Team VETTE has kept a keen ear tuned to theevents leading up to the creation of the Official '04 Pace Car replica.With the shooting season for car features limited in some areas morethan others, VETTE caught up with Paul during the spring thaw. It wassome time before this that the "Only '04 Owner" had made the decision totemporarily lend his new toy to the National Corvette Museum fordisplay. So, on the Monday following the '04's arrival to the NCM, VETTEmet with Paul and Wendell Strode for the momentous event. With the keyshanded off to the NCM's Executive Director, the Corvette was now underthe care of the Museum and its staff, which had relocated its Pace Carsspecifically for the new display. VETTE was there for the day the '04joined the rest of its family inside the NCM Skydome. If you would liketo see the display for yourself, log on towww.corvettemuseum.com/webcam/index.shtml to take advantage of theNCM's live web cams. Enjoy.
Paul Barth would like to send special thanks to Howard Kirchenbauer.Howard was instrumental in assuring Paul's car received an official nodfrom the Hall of Fame Museum. Team VETTE would also like to thankWendell Strode for taking time out of his busy schedule to be available;Larry Grinstead who was our "Official '04" driver for the day while Paulfinished paperwork; and Paul Barth for his dedication to the sport andits preservation.

The St. Louis Blues sign defenceman Mike Weaver.
Weaver is a fifth or sixth defenceman. The six-year veteran is now joining the fourth club in his career. Last year Weaver played 55 games with the Vancouver Canucks recording one assist and totaling 33 minutes in penalties. Those numbers shouldn't improve a great deal with the Blues.

Electrical current is 220 volts, 50Hz. Two-pin round
plugs are in use.
Arabic is the official language, but eight other
languages are also spoken including Berber, French and Spanish.
English is generally understood in the tourist areas, but French is
the most widely spoken.
A tip of 10 to 15% is expected in the more expensive bars and
restaurants, though some establishments include a service charge.
Most services are performed with the aim of getting a few dirham,
but aggressive hustling shouldn't be rewarded. Visitors should note
that tips are the only income for some porters and guides.
Violent crime is not a major problem in Morocco, but there have
been some incidents of theft at knifepoint in major cities and on
beaches. Sensible precautions such as avoiding badly lit streets at
night should be adhered to. Guides offering their services should
display an official badge from the local tourist authorities. Most
visits to Morocco are trouble-free; however, terrorist attacks have
occurred in the past and there is a general threat of kidnappings
in northern Africa, so visitors are advised to be vigilant. Be sure
to check with your travel agent or tour advisor about the current
political situation in Morocco before finalising your travel plans
- the area is potentially volatile, and political demonstrations
(although they are mostly peaceful) are not the kind of memory you
want to take with you from Morocco.
Morocco is a Muslim country and it is preferable to keep the
wearing of swimsuits, shorts and other revealing clothing to the
beach or hotel poolside. Women travelling alone will receive less
hassle if dressed conservatively. Smoking is practised widely, and
it is customary to offer cigarettes in social situations. Religious
customs should be respected, particularly during the month of
Ramadan when eating, drinking and smoking during daylight hours
should be discreet as it is forbidden by the Muslim culture.
Several foreigners were expelled in 2010 for alleged proselytising.
The giving and receiving of things, and the eating of food, should
only be done with the right hand, as the left is considered
unclean. Homosexuality is a criminal offence, and sexual relations
outside marriage are also punishable by law.
Business in Morocco has been influenced by France and therefore
tends to be conducted formally, with an emphasis on politeness.
Dress is formal, and women in particular should dress
conservatively. Most business is conducted in French, although some
English is spoken. It is best to ascertain before hand what
language the meeting will be in, and arrange an interpreter as
needed. Visitors are expected to be punctual, though meetings may
not start on time. Moroccans are friendly and enjoy socialising,
trust and friendship are important bases for business dealings so
be prepared to engage in small talk. A handshake is common when
arriving and departing. Women may encounter some sexism in
business, although this is starting to change. Most businesses are
closed on Fridays, and some are also closed on Thursdays.
The international access code for Morocco is +212. The outgoing
code is 00 followed by the relevant country code (e.g. 0044 for the
United Kingdom). City/area codes are in use, e.g. (0)44 for
Marrakech and (0)37 for Rabat. Hotels can add a hefty surcharge to
their telephone bills; it is best to check before making long
international calls. Two mobile GSM 900 networks cover the north of
the country. Internet cafes are widely available in tourist
Travellers to Morocco over 18 years do not have to pay duty on
200 cigarettes or 50 cigars or 400g tobacco; 1 litre spirits and 1
litre wine; and perfume up to 5g.

Recent uproar over the loss of 12 year school employee forces a local high school to explain.
Parents and students alike could be seen outside Bishop Manogue Catholic High School Monday morning protesting the school's decision to not renew Principal Jaureguito's contract.
Chris Witty, Bishop Manogue president, released a statement today to answer some questions and hopefully dispel some rumors:
"First, I feel the need to apologize to the Manogue family for any confusion I may have created as a result of the e-mail I sent Friday regarding the personnel decision involving Mr. Jaureguito. It was sent with the very best of intentions in an effort to communicate transparently and efficiently. Today, I believe additional information is warranted regarding the personnel decision I made.
"Since November, Mr. Jaureguito and I have been discussing his desire in remaining as principal at Bishop Manogue Catholic High School. On numerous occasions, Mr. Jaureguito indicated to me and others that he was actively evaluating other employment opportunities and that was reaffirmed recently in a conversation with two leaders of our Board of Directors. Then, and now, I understand and respect his decision.
"Under the terms of his employment contract, Mr. Jaureguito was to be notified by me no later than March 1 whether or not his contract would be renewed for next year. Last week, he and I reached the conclusion that it was time for a change. As colleagues, Mr. Jaureguito and I decided it was in the best interest of the school that we part ways so as to remove any uncertainty associated with the question of his contract renewal and, most importantly, to enable the search process for his replacement to begin immediately. I can honestly say that the discussions between Mr. Jaureguito and me were always conducted professionally and never became adversarial.
"In my e-mail last Friday, however, I neglected to mention that we are gladly honoring Mr. Jaureguito's employment contract for the remainder of the school year. All of us recognize Mr. Jaureguito's significant contributions to our school and we remain grateful for his dedication to Bishop Manogue for the past 12 years.
"As we move forward in the process of hiring a new principal, I can assure the entire Manogue family that we will be searching for someone who is committed to Catholic teaching traditions, someone who understands the special uniqueness of Bishop Manogue's history, and someone who will enthusiastically and boldly lead our faculty and student body into the future."

Apple Patent Reveals Gift-Giving Platform For NFC-Based iDevices 110
redletterdave writes "While downloading and storing digital media with online service providers has become commonplace — more so than purchasing DVDs and CDs at physical retail stores — it's not very easy to transfer digital files from one individual to another, usually because of copyright laws. Some digital distributors have systems for limiting usage and distribution of their products from the original purchaser to others, but often times, transferring a copyright-protected file from one device to another can result in the file being unplayable or totally inaccessible. Apple believes it has a solution to this issue: A gift-giving platform where users have a standardized way for buying, sending and receiving media files from a provider (iTunes) between multiple electronic devices (iPhones, iPads). The process is simply called, 'Gifting.'"

The Tsarnaev family is now nationally, even internationally, notorious. While investigators around the globe look into whether family members have any ties to terrorist networks, I've become fascinated with the family dynamics at work behind the scenes.
Although none of us harbors terrorists, many of us may recognize, if not actually relate to, certain family patterns on display in the now infamous Chechnyan family.
For instance, The Wall Street Journal reports a couple of years ago, the mom became concerned that her oldest son, Tamerlan, was losing his way. He seemed to be slipping into an aimless life of marijuana, girls, and alcohol. So like many a parent with a wayward child, she tried to give his life a little direction to get him back on the straight and narrow.
Some parents push their kids into the military, others get them into manual labor, and still others back to school. Mrs. Tsarnaev encouraged Tamerlan to reinvest in his religion, Islam.
She was so successful in her efforts, that Tamerlan soon was a new man. He quit drinking, he quit smoking, he started praying even more than the suggested 5 times a day. He became so adamant about his faith that he actually convinced his mom, who had been a cosmetologist at a spa, to not only quit her job but to cover herself up in tradition Muslim garb.
This move had immediate consequences within the family. The dad was outraged his wife was suddenly covering herself up. This wasn't the wife he married. She insisted it was what Islamic men should want from their wives. He told her she was acting crazy.
Soon after, the marriage broke up, and the dad went back to Dagestan. A little later, mom returned to her homeland in Dagestan, but to reunite with her ancestral family, not with her husband.
With both parents now half a world a way, the zealous older brother no doubt became something of a substitute father figure to the impressionable, happy go lucky high-schooler Dzhokhar.
It's no excuse for the teenager's actions, but it's easy to understand how a driven and determined older brother could sway a sibling seven years his junior. Dzokhar eventually caught Tamerlan's "religious fervor" and the results were disastrous.
What's striking is that the Tsarnaev's particular family psychodrama is not especially unique. I suspect most families are in some way dysfunctional. The shame is that this relatively small family drama had consequences writ so tragically large.

I was introduced to Dr. Capt as a undergraduate. I had never met such a warm, caring, loving and passionate soul as Dr. Capt. Through her motivating words and enthusiastic classes, I'm now a teacher and graduate student. I'm saddened by the loss of a GREAT woman but her legacy lives on through all the lives she touched. I love you Dr. Capt and you will forever be in my heart.
Dearest Emily and Liz. Our hearts are broken for you. We love you. Charlie and Rita
The Kappa Delta Pi family was shocked and saddened to hear of the deaths of Robin, her husband, and her son. She had attended and presented at our biennial convention in Dallas Oct. 24-26. Many of us had interacted with her there and been in email contact with her since then. We will miss her as a KDP Counselor, convention and webinar presenter, and valued member and friend. Our heartfelt sympathy goes to her other children, her students, and her colleagues.
Dr. Capt was the most effective teacher I have ever had. Not a single class with her was boring. She had a gift and I am honored that I was able to be one of her students. My condolences go out to her family.
Our hearts and condolences go out to everyone who has lost someone close to them following these tragedies. My boyfriend went to school with Cade Klink from Wellington, Texas. Our prayers are with every one of the lives lost from the WTAMU family and may each one walk beside our LORD for eternity!!!
Dr. Capt was a joy to have as a teacher. She had the ability to look at everyone's point of view and taught her class do to the same! I feel blessed to have taken her classes, she will be missed.
Robin grew up next door to us in Carrollton. She and our son were the very best of friends. She was one of the nicest people you would ever want to meet. Our family is devastated by the loss of she, Mike and Bill.
As a distance learning student, she was one of my first Professors for the Spring semester. Just by my interactions with her through email and the way she ran her classes, I could tell she had a passion for her students to learn. My prayers go out to everyone.
Dr. Capt was the most kind, compassionate, understanding and responsible instructor I ever had. We lift up our prayers to her family and friends. She will be greatly missed.
My prayers and thoughts are with Robin's family and her WT community. I know she will be greatly missed.
Prayers go out to Dr. Capt's family. She was a lovely professor, mentor and honor society leader. We will miss her greatly. I'm very thankful for all of the knowledge she imparted and for her being so loving and caring through my struggle last semester with my brother passing away.
Dr. Capt was a wonderful teacher who inspired and challenged her students to strive for excellence. She will be greatly missed.
Dr. Capt was the first teacher to welcome me back as a returning student. She was kind, compassionate, and my heart is heavy to hear the news. WTAMU lost a jewel.

DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- The record Powerball jackpot is now even bigger.
Powerball officials say they've boosted the jackpot for Wednesday's drawing to $500 million from the previously posted $425 million. Huge ticket sales nationally are pushing the payout higher.
A single winner choosing the cash payout will take home $327 million before taxes.
Record jackpots encourage players who usually sit on the sidelines to play and group purchases from work pools increase.
The jackpot is the largest ever for the Powerball game and the second largest lottery jackpot of all time, eclipsed only by the $656 million Mega Millions record set in March.
DES MOINES, Iowa (AP) -- The historic $425 million Powerball jackpot was all part of a plan lottery officials put in place early this year to build jackpots faster, drive sales and generate more money for states that play the game.
Their plan appears to be working.
Powerball tickets doubled in price in January to $2. Sales revenue has increased and is expected to reach $5 billion this year, exceeding last year's record sales of just under $4 billion.
There has been no winner of Powerball's biggest prize since Oct. 6 and already the jackpot has reached a record level for the game.
A single winner choosing the cash option would take home more than $278 million before taxes.
Lottery officials say the chance of getting a winner this Wednesday is approaching 60 percent.

A man was stabbed in Dundalk Friday and another man was shot in Halethorpe early Saturday, Baltimore County Police said.
The shooting happened at DePaola's Pub on Sulphur Spring Road around 2 a.m. after a person was thrown out by a bouncer, according to police. The person pulled out a gun and began shooting at the doorman, who went back inside followed by the shooter, police said. People inside the bar subdued the gunman, according to police.
The victim and the suspect, neither of whom has been identified, were taken to the hospital, police said.
Earlier, officers reponded to a stabbing in the 2800 block of Dunbrook Court in Dundalk. A man had been stabbed after getting in a fight with another person, who was later taken into custody but has not yet been charged, police said.

In 1841, rumors began to circulate that Martin Harris, one of the three Book of Mormon witnesses, had been murdered. The Mormons (who else?) had supposedly shot him to death. But, in fact, Martin Harris was perfectly healthy. He would live on until age 92, dying on July 10, 1875, in Clarkston, Utah. As Mark Twain later quipped after reading his own obituary, the report of Martin's death was "an exaggeration." He was now, the "Painesville Telegraph" wryly observed, "a living witness of what shall be said of him after his death."
While still under the misapprehension that he had been killed, the Christian Mirror, published at Portland, Maine, printed an article by Alvah Strong about Martin Harris. Editor of the Rochester Daily Democrat, Strong had worked previously in Palmyra, N.Y., and had known Harris personally.
Strong was no admirer of Joseph Smith and Mormonism: "At that time," he reminisced about Palmyra in the spring of 1828, "Jo. Smith had a mere handful of followers, most of whom were as destitute of character and intelligence as the 'Prophet' himself." (By the time Strong was writing, the supposedly unintelligent Joseph Smith had founded a rapidly growing church and established a new and rapidly expanding city, Nauvoo, on the banks of the Mississippi River. Nevertheless, his name had become toxic in many circles, and condemning him was virtually mandatory in refined society.)
Unlike the poor family of Joseph Smith Sr. and Lucy Mack Smith, however, Martin Harris had been a respectable Palmyra citizen. And, unlike Joseph Smith Jr., he could be excused as an innocent dupe.
Prior to his affiliation with Joseph Smith and Mormonism, Harris was generally regarded as a good and honest man. A successful farmer in the area of Palmyra, he eventually owned and cultivated 320 acres of land. Alvah Strong remembered his farm as "one of the best in the town."
He had served as an overseer of highways, a manager of the Ontario (County) Agriculture Society, and, in a period when aging veterans of the American Revolution still lived in many local communities, a member of the "revolutionaries' relief committee." The trust that his neighbors placed in him can be seen in the fact that he was also selected as a "Fence Viewer." Tasked with monitoring property boundaries, such "Viewers" inspected new fences and dealt with the disputes that periodically arose when livestock escaped their enclosures and trespassed on the fields of others (perhaps trampling or consuming valuable crops).
If he ever read it, Martin Harris probably found Alvah Strong's article quite interesting. At this distance in time, I certainly do, and, fortunately, BYU-Idaho's Kyle Walker has published the article, with historical introduction, in the Mormon Historic Sites Foundation's very useful semiannual journal, "Mormon Historical Studies."
"We have ever regarded Mr. Harris as an honest man," Strong wrote, referring also to Martin's sturdy "native honesty." "He had long sustained an irreproachable character for probity." As Strong recalled him, Harris seemed to be sincere, and he had dedicated himself to the cause of Mormonism "even at the expense of his own pecuniary interests."
There is a particularly rich historical portrayal in one of Alvah Strong's sentences about Martin:
"By his neighbors and townsmen with whom he earnestly and almost incessantly labored, he was regarded rather as being deluded himself, than as wishing to delude others knowingly, but still he was subjected to many scoffs and rebukes, all of which he endured with meekness becoming a better cause."
Strong couldn't, of course, grant any truth or worthiness to Mormonism. But, along with most if not all of the other residents of Palmyra, he also couldn't bring himself to pronounce Martin Harris a deceiver. Instead, Strong remembered Harris as a humble, hardworking and sincere man, deeply devoted, notwithstanding mockery and opposition, to what he genuinely believed to be true.
This is no insignificant fact: Martin Harris testified to the end of his life that, with David Whitmer and Oliver Cowdery, he had "seen the plates" and "the engravings which are upon the plates." With Whitmer and Cowdery, he testified that the Book of Mormon had "been translated by the gift and power of God, for his voice hath declared it unto us." "We declare with words of soberness, that an angel of God came down from heaven, and he brought and laid before our eyes, that we beheld and saw the plates, and the engravings thereon."

so much.
and i do.
in my head. in my bed. late at night. when the world is sleeping and i should be too ... but i'm not. because my head is thinking and exploding with thoughts and ideas and this and that.
things that i really want to tell you about ... but can't necessarily take the time to write. and so i think them.
i think about telling you about how stella is finally riding a bike. like really riding it ... well enough to go on long bike rides with us. and about how on those long bike rides i find pretty things like fields full of wild grasses (perfect photo location) and patches of stones ... rocks ... and little teeny tiny baby agates.
and i want to tell you about how finn is so cute now ... because whenever you say a person's name in that way that you would when you are calling for them from across the house or under a blanket hiding ... he answers back with "a--youuuu?" and it's adorable and sweet. and how he is amazingly this little boy. and i'm kind of liking trucks and tractors and busses and wheels and the noises that everything makes. even though i never thought i would.
i want to tell you about how hard it is with three. and how i never thought i would have three. and how lucky i am to have three. but that sometimes it's just really hard and confusing and difficult and occasionally i just cannot wait for seven o clock to come ... because that means that i will be ushering them towards bedtimes in the not too distant future.
i want to tell you about cora ... and how crazily crazy and loud and obnoxious she is in this so adorable way. and how she mentioned to me the other day, as we rode off to a doctor's appt the other day (fearful that she had ringworm because someone told me that ... but didn't. thankfully. just a funny little something or other. it's gone now.) and we were alone and she said ... "so. it's just you and me. that's special." and it was. because it's rarely just her and i. and i'm trying to fix that. i can't imagine being the middle. kind of lost but at the same time ... really important being both a big and a little sibling. and hard.
and my life isn't all hard. it's beautiful and it's lovely. and i'm getting to do things that i love. like take pictures of people. and it's amazing because it uses all of me. it uses the smiling social me and the creative me knocking at the door. together. and it's fun. plus ... also? babies.
and sometimes i'm sorry that i don't just stop by to tell you those things. i'm sorry that sometimes i can't just put these thoughts into a neat little package ... tied together with a giveaway or a life lesson or an ending.
and so i sometimes just don't.
but i should ... because really? this isn't about you. it's me. and us.
and i realized all of that tonight while tweeting with a friend. who feels many of those same things. and i had challenged us to write for 10 minutes. just 10 minutes. words.
and i did. except that it was actually 14.
thanks for listening.

Thanks for sharing your gorgeous words. That's it right there on your page - we should all let go and just write for ten minutes a day.

That was fabulous for 14 minutes. I should try that more often. I think I'm afraid if I open that can of worms a whole lot more than 14 minutes will spill out and it will take hours to put the puzzle pieces together in an intelligible way. This is fabulous evidence that I shouldn't allow that to stop me.
You have a delightful way with words, Jen!

"i'm sorry that sometimes i can't just put these thoughts into a neat little package ... tied together with a giveaway or a life lesson or an ending."
oh, how this resonates...sometimes i wonder why i can't write my life like a television show. full of tied ends and cliffhangers you know will be answered eventually. rather than the loose strings of real life dangling all over my screen.
so glad i stumbled upon you.

BOSTON, Mass.--Behind goals from all four lines and three points from senior defenseman Rob Florentino (West Roxbury, Mass.), UMass Boston (8-2-1) skated to a 5-2 victory over Wentworth Institute of Technology (6-6-1) and their fourth straight appearance in the Codfish Bowl Championship Game.
With the victory, UMass Boston earned their 23rd appearance in Codfish Bowl Championship Game in 31 appearances, with the Beacons hoisting the trophy three times. The win raised UMB's unbeaten streak to seven games and helped extend the Beacons best start to a season since the 1981-82 team, who finished 24-3 and won the ECAC Division III Tournament.
UMass Boston will play Johnson & Wales University Sunday at 4 p.m. at the Clark Athletic Center Ice Arena.
The Beacons dominated the 48th Annual Codfish Bowl opener by racing out to a 3-0 lead and racking up a 42-21 shot advantage. Florentino was instrumental in building the lead, picking up assists on the first and third UMB goals and scoring his fourth goal of the season on the Beacons second tally. The senior defenseman leads UMass Boston with his career-high 14 assists and his 18 points this year tie his career mark from each of the past two seasons.
Mike DeGrazia (Novi, Mich.) scored his team-leading 11th goal of the season to move to within a goal of the national leaders. Freshman Frankie DeAugustine (Pittsburgh, Pa.) and Jeremy Finger (Orlando, Fla.) each found the back of the net as well, while senior Tim Richter (Naugatuck, Conn.) picked up his 10th career goal.
For Wentworth, Devin Cobbold picked up his team-leading sixth goal of the season, while Patrick Rice added his second goal of the year.
In net, freshman netminder Zach Andrews (Coral Springs, Fla.) moved to 7-2-1 for the Beacons with 19 saves on 21 shots. Joel Miller made 16 stops on 17 shots for Wentworth in the third period, after junior Alex Peck allowed four goals on 25 shots in the first two stanzas.
UMass Boston showed no side effects to their 35-day layoff as they skated and executed well from the get go. The Beacons attempted six of the first seven shots, before DeGrazia put the Beacons on the board at the 14:37 mark of the first period. Sophomore defenseman John Houston (Pittsburgh, Pa.) sent a slicing pass from the point through the defense to Florentino down low; Florentino proceeded to skate in all alone and draw Peck out of position, before finding DeGrazia in front of the net for an easy tap-in.
The two teams would skate out the rest of the period with the same score, as UMass Boston held a slight 8-5 shot advantage.
Second period play would be much faster and action packed, as the two squads combined for four goals and two of the three penalties called in the game.
After Jordan Bourgonje was called for a 5-minute major for Elbowing, Florentino put the Beacons ahead 2-0 midway through the major penalty. The Beacons senior defenseman camped out just outside the left circle and received a cross-ice pass from Peter MacIntyre (Norfolk, Mass.), before one-timing the shot over Peck's shoulder.
Five minutes later Florentino and Finger made it a 3-0 game, when Florentino sent a two-line pass to Finger at the Wentworth blue line that allowed Finger to skate in all alone and bury the puck through Peck's pads.
Wentworth cut into the 3-0 deficit at the 15:06 mark, when Rice picked up a rebound off of Mike Cox's shot and beat Andrews just inside the post.
But the Beacons would answer right back, as DeAugustine surprised Peck with a turn-around, one-timer that found its way into the back of the net at the 18:37 mark of the second period.
UMass Boston continued to pressure Peck towards the end of the period, including a Steve Weston (Henniker, N.H.) shot from well outside the zone that caught the crossbar.
The Leopards defense held up better with Miller in net in the third, as the freshman made stop after stop. Richter managed to put one by Miller at 10:46, when Derek Colucci (North Scituate, R.I.) left a pass for a trailing Richter, who lifted it over Miller's shoulder from just outside the crease. Captain Tim Niedzielak (Chicago, Ill.) picked up an assist on the play as well.
Wentworth closed out the scoring with 50 seconds to play, when Cobbold skated between two Beacons defenders and blasted a shot into the upper right corner to make it 5-2.
The Beacons moved to 27-32-2 all-time in 31 appearances the Codfish Bowl Tournament, while Wentworth fell to 1-2 in two appearances.

Underwater Studies Looking Up With Lookdown
Mapping the seafloor of the Chester River is a priority for the College's Center for Environment & Society as part of its long-term goal to better understand the riverine system and its parent, the Chesapeake Bay. A purpose-built platform like Lookdown will make this work more efficient, accurate and instructive for College students.
"To have a boat dedicated to underwater mapping at an undergraduate institution, which will equip students with experience to rival that of graduate institutions, is extremely rare," says Douglas Levin, CES associate director. A former scientist with the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, Levin knew about the boat's mapping abilities and realized the research opportunities it would bring to Washington College students. To conduct underwater mapping for NOAA, Lookdown—formerly a fast, heavy-duty Coast Guard port security vessel (bullet-proof hull and all)—underwent an upgrade that included adding extensive sonar equipment and a custom-built aluminum cabin.
Lookdown's captain, Michael Gosman, says another bonus is the boat's size. Small and versatile, it needs few crew and is easily hauled from the water and trailered to different research areas. "Lookdown's small size will also allow scientists to map and conduct research on delicate coastal environments which were not previously accessible using larger research vessels," Gosman says. "This type of technology will allow for strategic environmental planning as well as invaluable research experience."

At the time it seemed like the ultimate example of governmental irony. But then I came across the following.
Obama administration plan would kill rival bird to save spotted owl
To save the imperiled spotted owl, the Obama administration is moving forward with a controversial plan to shoot barred owls, a rival bird that has shoved its smaller cousin aside.Job creation?!? You have absolutely got to be kidding me! How many people will they employ to go around blasting barred owls to smithereens? 50? 100? 200 or more? Regardless, it won't be enough to make a dent in the unemployment numbers.
The plan is the latest federal attempt to protect the northern spotted owl, the passive, one-pound bird that sparked an epic battle over logging in the Pacific Northwest two decades ago.
The government set aside millions of acres of forest to protect the owl, but the bird's population continues to decline — a 40 percent slide in 25 years.
Officials acknowledge that the plan to kill barred owls creates an ethical dilemma, but say an experiment on private land in northern California has shown promising results. Spotted owls have returned to historic territories after barred owls were removed.
Salazar and other officials stressed the new plan's job-creation component...
Give obama and his stooges credit for one thing, though. At least they're consistent. This decision runs true to other decisions made by the obama administration - doing whatever is necessary to help its favored interests prosper by eliminating their competition.
Just think Solyndra or the Chevy Volt, but with feathers...

Saturday, June 22, 2013
LOUISVILLE, Ky. (Friday, June 21, 2013) – Fiftyshadesofgold, a 10-length winner against Texas-breds in her debut at Lone Star Park, will face open-company for the first time in Saturday's $100,000-added Debutante and could give the Scharbauer family their first stakes win beneath the Twin Spires since Alysheba's memorable victory over Seeking the Gold in the 1988 Breeders' Cup Classic (Grade I).
Fiftyshadesofgold was shipped to Churchill Downs shortly after her victory and has since worked twice over the Louisville track.
"As soon as she ran down there, we shipped her here," Calhoun said. "We've had this race on our mind for a long time."
The Debutante drew a field of 11 and Fiftyshadesofgold will break from post 10.
"I think it's a good spot," Calhoun said. "I love having options from out there and it's always nice to draw the outside with a young, inexperienced horse."
The Debutante will go as Race 7 at 9:05 p.m. (all times Eastern). The $65,000-added Roxelana for fillies and mares at six furlongs highlights the undercard and is scheduled as Race 10 at 10:42 p.m.
Kick up your boots, y'all, and get ready for a Southern-style country celebration as the wildly-popular Downs After Dark Presented by Stella Artois and Finlandia Vodka returns to Churchill Downs on Saturday night at 6 p.m. (all times Eastern).
This week's theme – decided by an online fan vote – is "Boots, Brew and BBQ." Guests are encouraged to "dress to impress" in western wear, with contests in the Plaza for best-dressed female, male, couple and group with prizes to the winners.
Churchill Downs will be decked out for Louisville's biggest summer shindig with plenty of western accessories – red and white checks, hay bales, whiskey barrels, burlap, bandanas and rustic signage.
The spacious 30,000-square-foot Plaza adjacent to the saddling paddock will be the heartbeat of the party. There'll be a pig roast, 1,000-pound Mechanical Bull (6-10 p.m.) and plenty of festive tunes – an SUP DJ from 4-7:30 p.m. and the popular Howl at the Moon Dueling Piano Show from 8-11:30 p.m. There also will be music by Dane Clark on the Clubhouse's fifth floor balcony, Dillan Johnson at the Gate 10 entrance and the Benjamin Davis Group at Gate 17.
Churchill Downs' jockeys plan to have plenty of fun with the mechanical bull between races. Throughout the night, the riders will be competing against one another, and the rider who stays on the longest will receive a $500 donation to the charity of their choice.
Admission gates will open Saturday at 4 p.m. and the first of 11 live races will begin at 6 p.m. The final live race will be 11:10 p.m. and the on-track party will continue in the Plaza area until 11:30 p.m. The last call for alcohol will be post time for the final race of night.
Other ancillary entertainment includes the popular text-to-win sweepstakes "Bet or No Bet," sponsored by Thorntons. Four lucky on-track patrons will face a tough decision on Races 6-9: to place a $1,000 win bet on a horse in the upcoming race or take a $100 Thorntons' gift card.
Patrons will have the option to taste non-traditional racetrack offerings such as roasted suckling pig with all the fixins – served on a mini onion roll with a side of Cole slaw and choices of Carolina Mustard, Memphis Mustard and Bourbon Peach Barbeque Sauce. Also, the folks from Brown-Forman will be on hand to serve El Jimador tequila.
Shane Co. will be on site inside the Gate 17 entrance near the Churchill Downs Store to giveaway "blinky" cups, and RAM Trucks will be on display in various locations around the venue. Also, the Churchill Downs team will be giving away red, white and blue necklaces decorated with cowboy boots and hats to select patrons in The Plaza.
Saturday's marquee entertainment event has been paired with stellar stakes racing action. The 113th running of the $100,000-added Debutante, a six-furlong race for promising 2-year-old fillies, is the featured seventh race at 9:05 p.m. Meanwhile, older fillies and mares will sprint three-quarters of a mile in the $65,000-added Roxelana, which goes as Race 10 at 10:42 p.m.
This is the second of three consecutive Saturday night Downs After Dark racing programs at Churchill Downs. Last week's "White Party" lured 23,509 fans and a night racing record $8,390,139 in total wagers. The June 29 theme is "Star-Spangled Night," a pre-Fourth of July holiday celebration with lots of red, white and blue.
According to the National Weather Service, Saturday's forecast calls for mostly sunny skies with a high near 91. The low will be around 72.
Cover charge (general admission) to all Downs After Dark events is $10. Holders of shareholders passes or horsemen licenses and children age 12 and under (when accompanied by an adult) will be admitted free of charge. No one under the age of 18 will be admitted to the track unless they are accompanied by a parent or responsible adult.
There is limited reserved seating still available. Indoor dining packages in the Millionaires Row 6 are $59.90 per person and include a scrumptious buffet dinner, reserved seat and official program. Outdoor third-floor box seats are on sale for $20 and include general admission, a box seat in the third-floor clubhouse and an official program.
Reserved seating can be purchased for Saturday night's event at the on-track box office located at the Gate 1 entrance off Central Ave. (open 12 p.m. to 9 p.m. on 'Downs After Dark' Saturdays).
Those attending Downs After Dark are encouraged to arrive early to secure on-site parking and avoid traffic delays. All on-property parking lots will open at 3 p.m. and space is available on a first-come, first-served basis (free in the Longfield Avenue lot). Typically, all lots are filled to capacity early in the racing program. Churchill Downs will offer free parking and shuttle service from Papa John's Cardinal Stadium starting at 5 p.m. There will be free round-trip shuttle service throughout the evening. All Churchill Downs employees will be directed to park in the track's infield (enter through Longfield tunnel).
Churchill Downs has secured the services of Louisville Metro Police Department officers and traffic guards to monitor area traffic on Central Avenue and other nearby streets to advance ingress and egress. LMPD will control traffic signals, turn lanes and pedestrian traffic and partial road closures are possible if it becomes necessary because of heavy traffic.
As usual, Churchill Downs will be open early for simulcast wagering on the second floor of the clubhouse Saturday. General admission will be its regular price of $3 from 11:30 a.m. until 4 p.m. at Gate 17.
The Saturday simulcast menu includes Calder (12:50 p.m.), Monmouth Park (12:55 p.m.), Woodbine (1 p.m.), Belmont Park (1:05 p.m.), Delaware (1:15 p.m.), Arlington (2 p.m.), Louisiana Downs (2:25 p.m.), Lone Star Park (2:35 p.m.), Betfair Hollywood Park (4 p.m.), Penn National (6 p.m.), Evangeline Downs (6:40 p.m.), Mountaineer (7 p.m.), Charles Town (7:15 p.m.) and Prairie Meadows (7:30 p.m.).
Ricardo Santana Jr., a 19-year-old native of Panama, has experienced a good deal of success in his first meet at Churchill Downs and finds himself in fourth-place in the jockey standings through day 31 of the 38-day Spring Meet.
Santana, who came to the United States in 2009 and first rode at Delaware Park, has won aboard 19 of his 111 mounts at the Spring Meet after leading all riders with 70 wins at Oaklawn Park over the winter.
"I do the same thing at every track I go to: I work hard," Santana said. "I work hard and God blesses me with wins."
Santana has won aboard 93 of his 412 mounts this year (a 22.5% win-clip) and has 290 career victories.
"I ask all of the jockeys here to help me," Santana said. "I'm only 19 and I need to learn more. They all help me."
Jockeys aren't the only ones helping the young rider as he also receives guidance from several trainers, including Ron Moquett.
"I think he's an excellent prospect as a rider and he's as strong of a finisher as I've seen," Moquett said. "He doesn't give up on a race. He isn't going to give up on a 20-1 shot and just gallop home. He'll always try hard. I feel as comfortable with him on a horse as I've ever felt with anybody."
Moquett first used Santana at Delaware Park in 2009.
"He came by as a bug boy and wanted to be named on a horse," Moquett said. "I told him the only way I'd name him on one was if he came by the barn to help. He showed up every day. After three weeks, I let him gallop one and when I saw him on the back of a horse I said, 'Wow'"
Santana trails Shaun Bridgmohan (44), Rosie Napravnik (37) and Corey Lanerie (34) in the standings. He has scheduled mounts in Races 2-5 and 10 on the 11-race Friday card at Churchill Downs.
Trainer Steve Margolis has set the next-race plans for Wine Princess, Miz Ida and Agent Di Nozzo.
Wine Princess, most recently last of five in the Fleur de Lis Handicap Presented by Etihad Airways (GII), is being pointed to the Molly Pitcher (GII) at Monmouth Park on July 28.
Miz Ida, 1 ¼-length winner of the Early Times Mint Julep Handicap (GIII), is tentatively being pointed to the Dr. James Penny Memorial Handicap (GIII) at Parx on July 2.
Agent Di Nozzo, winner of an allowance/optional-claiming race at Churchill Downs on May 31, is headed to the Golden Bear at Indiana Downs on July 20.
Margolis also said Friday that Good Deed, a two-time winner on the Matt Winn Turf Course at the Spring Meet, was found to have some inflammation in her front ankles shortly after her most recent win on June 7. "It's nothing major and she won't need surgery or anything," Margolis said. "We're going to give her 60 days off and point to something in the fall."
Corey Lanerie's three-win day Thursday improved his career total at Churchill Downs to 453 and moved him past Mike McDowell for 13th all time. …
School Spirit's 15 ¼-length win in Thursday's ninth race is the most decisive victory of the Spring Meet. A 4-year-old gelding by Pulpit, School Spirit is owned by Gary and Mary West and is trained by Wayne Catalano. …
Santo Sanjur, a seven-pound apprentice from Panama, scored his first North American victory Thursday when he guided 24-1 shot Pastor Puckett to a 5 ¼-length win in Race 6 at Churchill Downs.
Churchill Downs (GII) winner Delaunay breezed a half-mile on Friday in :47.80, the fastest of 49 at the distance. Trainer Tom Amoss said Delaunay will carry his six-race win streak into the Iowa Sprint Handicap at Prairie Meadows on July 28. …
Also working for Amoss on Friday were Mylute and So Many Ways. Mylute, most recently third in the Preakness (GI), breezed four furlongs in :50.60 and So Many Ways, winner of the Eight Belles Presented by Xerox (GIII), breezed a half-mile in :48.
Amoss said So Many Ways will run next in the Iowa Oaks (GIII) at Prairie Meadows on July 29 and no plans have been made for Mylute. …
Tiz Miz Sue, winner of the Ogden Phipps Handicap (GI) in her last start, breezed five furlongs in 1:00.60 for trainer Steve Hobby.

text: Rob Bollinger was a competitive trampolinist at the age of 9 and partnered with his father on the invention of the double mini trampoline as his family owned a trampoline club in Illinois, where he grew up. He studied Business at Indiana University on a scholarship as a competitive springboard diver. He won two Big Ten and two NCAA national diving championships and qualified for the 1980 and 1984 Olympics trials. He did not make the team on either occasion, and at first turned away from the world of competitive sports. After a brief period working in aeronautics and insurance, Rob found the pull of acrobatics too strong to resist, so he went to work in diving shows in theme parks, which led him around the world. On his return to the United States he put his talents as a diver and trampolinist to work in film and television as a professional stunt man, notably for Universal Studios. Rob joined Cirque du Soleil in 1993 during the creation of the first resident show Mystère as a coach and artist in the show's original house troupe. In 1997 he joined "O", first as a coach, then as artistic coordinator and eventually he was appointed the production's artistic director. He also added the artistic direction of Mystère to his responsibilities. Michael Jackson ONE is Rob's third show as Acrobatic Designer after ZAIA and Amaluna.
