Once again, my reaction to someone's blog post (pops) wouldn't fit in the comment form, so ...
Between this, and the obvious fact that Ron Paul is being forced into accepting a position immediately behind and 3-feet lower than mitt-for-brains (pops), I'm now at long last forced to accept a rather harsh reality: We're DONE.
At this point, America exists only in history books, and in the hearts and minds of a few - we happy few, we Band of Brothers.
At this point there may be Three Percent (pops) who REALLY understand and appreciate the genius that was Our Founders' (PBUT) Republic. If we're lucky, there may be another 7-10% who know it was infinitely preferable to what we have now.
My first thought: "We're FOOKED."
My second: "wait a minute..."
It's taken me a LOT of sleepless nights to come to this realization, and I almost missed it: We're in the same place Our Founders (PBUT) were in.
Let's examine that a bit...
"Three Percent?" -- Check!
"Ten Percent?" -- Check!
"90+% who really just don't want anybody rocking the boat?" -- Check!
"Tyrannical Government?" -- Check!
"World's most capable .mil under the control of the tyrant(s)?" -- Check-MINUS!
"Backup bunch of Hessians (pops) who are much more evil foes (pops) than the aforementioned .mil?" -- Check! (pops)
Yup -- We're pretty damn close to EXACTLY where Our Founders (PBUT) "Found" themselves!
*THEY* however managed to **FOUND** ***AMERICA***!!
WE ARE NO MORE (and granted - no LESS) F***ED THAN **THEY** WERE!
From where I sit, we have several distinct advantages that they never had -- not the least of which is that THEY were trying to build something that had never existed, except in their imaginations.
THEY had no template to follow, and were pretty much making it up as they went along.
*WE* OTOH not only know how this is SUPPOSED to work, but we have the benefit of 230-odd years of history. We KNOW where we went wrong, and what we got right. We're in a better position than they were to create something that worked...
Yeah.... I haven't forgotten that there's a whole lot of ugly between here and Restoration... THEY survived it, and I'm pretty confident we can too...
No - the Redcoats didn't have Predators and Reapers, but then again I'm pretty confident that when things kick off here we're going to have some of EVERYTHING they have, or at least a reasonable facsimile thereof.
They also didn't have MREs or MSS at Valley Forge, or a population of 300-million-plus to hide in!
They didn't have Sub-MOA rifles, BDC optics or suppressors - which combine to make it possible for one "gray man" to take out damn near any tyrant he chooses...
Let's be honest: The only reason Boner's still wasting oxygen is because nobody REALLY wants him dead.
There are literally MILLIONS of people here in This Place Where America Used To Be who could take him out from 600 yards if they so chose.
Note for the Fibbies and other slow-kids: I'm not threatening him or anyone else, I'm not calling for anyone to hurt him or anyone else -- I'm just saying what you know to be true but don't dare speak aloud: When the $#!+ FINALLY breaks off, it's going to be @$$-ugly for anyone not living deep underground in a very real fortress!Granted - with all the technology at their disposal, The Enemy will likely make short work of the Patriot who decides to go for someone like Boner.
Whoever decides to go for one of Them isn't likely to make it home after - but every time a Boner becomes pink mist, another Patriot will become emboldened, and every time The Enemy overreacts, ten or a hundred more Patriots will find their BALLS!
We're in a world of hurt. We've got some truly horrible times ahead of us.
Personally, right at this moment I feel better than I have in a long, long time.
Have you ever had to face a major, painful surgery? I have - and I need another one.
There's a period when you first find out what's needed when you really DREAD it. You try to put it off, try every other alternative.... Almost ANYTHING other than just buckle down and get it over with.
As the alternatives are exhausted, there's this sense of creeping despair that goes along with it...
Then the day finally comes when you realize the unpleasant reality that you're not going to be able to avoid it. You're going to have to go through the pain and struggle, but you ALSO know that thousands of other people have been through it before you, THEY survived and their lives are much better as a result.
When all the avoidance is done, when you finally realize that you have no real option but to face it and get THROUGH it, there's this odd sense of RELIEF...
THAT is what I feel right now.
Granted - NOBODY in their right mind would WANT to go through what we're going to have to face, but we CAN handle it, and we'll be much better off on the other side.
If we have no choice, if G*d will not "let this cup pass" from us, then we're just going to have to suck it up and say "let's get this $#!+ over with!
No need to be in a hurry - we've still got work to do and time to do it - but make no mistake about where we're headed: If Our Founders could do it, SO CAN WE!
God help us - and God Save Our Republic!!

SPOKANE, Wash. – Ronnie Thomas ran for 251 yards and three touchdowns to lead Whitworth to a 37-20 season-ending come-from-behind win over Lewis & Clark on a cold Saturday afternoon in the Pine Bowl.
The Pirates finish the season 7-3 overall and 3-3 (4th place) in the NWC. Whitworth finished with three more wins in 2012 than in 2011. The Pioneers end the year 4-5 (1-5) after a 4-0 start.
Thomas did much of the damage on a 68-yard game-opening drive for the Pirates, including a 23-yard run on the first play of the game. But it was DJ Tripioli who finished out the drive with a 19-yard scoring run down the right sideline.
L&C answered with a 68-yard drive of its own, culminated by Curtis Shirey's one-yard touchdown run. The extra point was unsuccessful and Whitworth led 7-6.
The Pirates extended the lead to 10-6 when Robert Thullen connected on a 20-yard field goal after Whitworth had first and goal at the L&C five yard line.
The Pioneers responded quickly with an 80-yard drive, scoring on QB Keith Welch's 23-yard run. L&C was stopped while trying to go for a two-point conversion and had to settle for a 12-10 lead with 11:14 to play in the second quarter.
That lead would hold until halftime, despite three Whitworth trips deep into Pioneer territory. One ended on a missed 36-yard field goal and two others ended when Pirate QB Bryan Peterson was intercepted near the L&C goal line. Joe Kopp had the first pick, while Clay Isrealson had the second interception.
Whitworth trailed at the half despite outgaining L&C 271-201 and holding a 16-11 advantage in first downs.
The momentum turned the Pirates' way early in the second half. After quickly forcing an L&C punt, Whitworth went 72 yards in 13 plays to go ahead 17-12 when Thomas scored his first touchdown of the game from two yards away.
The score remained 17-12 until just under seven minutes were left in the game. Thomas scored again from six yards out to cap a 50-yard possession. The kick was wide left and Whitworth led 23-12.
De' Hall appeared to ice the game for the Pirates when he returned an interception 65 yards for a touchdown less than a minute later to give Whitworth a 30-12 lead with 5:46 to play. It was Hall's second interception return for a touchdown of the season.
However, L&C responded quickly with its best offensive possession of the second half. It took the Pioneers only three plays to go 50 yards for the score. Welch threw a 10-yard fade pass to Nico Ohland for the touchdown, then hit Ohland for a two-point conversion to cut the lead to 30-20 with 5:18 to play.
Whitworth recovered the onsides kick and then proceeded to grind out yards and time off of the clock. Thomas broke free from 17 yards out for his third touchdown of the game with 1:19 to go.
Welch's last-ditch pass as time expired was intercepted by Jesse Bresser in the endzone.
Whitworth finished with a significant statistical advantage, thanks largely to the big day by Thomas. The Pirates ended with a 504-370 edge in total offense, outrushing L&C 345-114. Whitworth had 32 first downs to 19 for the Pioneers and finished with a 41:26 – 18:34 edge in time of possession.
Thomas carried the ball 44 times for his 251 yards, averaging 5.7 yards per carry. Peterson completed 14 of 27 passes for 159 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions. He did plenty of damage with his legs as well, running for 96 yards on 17 attempts. Jake DeGooyer ended his career with eight catches for 98 yards.
Welch completed 24 of 37 for 256 yards with two touchdowns and two interceptions. He also ran for 79 yards on 16 carries. Evan Stanbro caught seven passes for 86 yards, while Shirey also caught seven passes out of the backfield for 39 yards.
Scott Carr led Whitworth with seven tackles, while Danny Welstad was in on six stops.
Andrew Traver had 16 tackles for Lewis & Clark, while Kopp was in on 14.
Thomas finished the season with 1,239 yards and 13 rushing touchdowns. It is the third highest single-season rushing total in Whitworth history, trailing only the 1,293 yard record set by Damian Putney in 1999 and the 1,259 yards from Adam Anderson in 2008. DeGooyer finished the season with 73 receptions for 1,015 yards.

Students and Faculty at Georgia State
To the Editor:
Mary Ann Fitzwilson ("With Their Eyes Wide Open: Guides to Graduate School and Beyond," Perspectives, December 1999) has drawn attention to helpful guidebooks and manuals as well as practices that can assist students in graduate school and on the job market. As one model for constructive action she praises an organization which has been successful at Georgia State University—the Association of Georgia State University Historians (AGSUH). As its name implies, AGSUH is an inclusive organization, with a faculty adviser, whose membership consists of graduate and undergraduate students as well as faculty.
Graduate students created AGSUH and remain its guiding force. From the start, however, faculty have been supportive and recognized that AGSUH's initiatives complement and enrich programs and goals that the department promotes. For example, pedagogical sessions sponsored by AGSUH complement an earlier initiative by faculty—the appointment of a Teacher Mentor who provides guidance for graduate teaching assistants and part-time instructors. Faculty attend AGSUH's pedagogical discussions, and in turn, graduate students participate in faculty development seminars; in each instance, the goal is to strengthen instruction in first-year survey courses. Faculty have led AGSUH sessions on writing c.v.'s, and AGSUH members have provided feedback in the process of evaluating candidates for tenure-track positions. AGSUH's peer review sessions have been one factor in encouraging graduate students to present papers at scholarly conferences.
Upon the suggestion of faculty, this year AGSUH is using the financial support provided by the college and the department to fund—on a competitive basis—student participation at conferences. AGSUH has also sponsored programs which address important issues in scholarship. Last year AGSUH planned and presented a symposium, "Atlantans Remember the Holocaust," in which historians and Holocaust survivors participated. The program, funded by the college, drew interest across the university and was well received in the community.
Fitzwilson participated in AGSUH (after it was established) when she was a part-time instructor at Georgia State. She writes that AGSUH was created to counteract the lack of direction from faculty. I would suggest that AGSUH has been a mutual endeavor, supported by faculty who regard student leadership as one of the strengths of the organization.

"What did we do without it?" asks Rita Ali.
OVERLOAD - There are ways to stay on top of that ever-expanding inbox. CNS Illustration by Scott Adrian Hinton. Then there are all those other bold-faced moments Ali knows well - the daily deluge of e-mail messages piling up in the inbox.
One day recently, Ali, director of diversity at Illinois Central College, whittled her inbox total down to a paltry 219 messages. But that was only after she transferred 1,500 e-mails into archives.
The remaining 219 messages, she says, represent less than two days' worth of communications. Ali gets very little spam or personal e-mail; still, she can count on receiving an average of 200 e-mail messages a day. Most of it is related to ICC, and much of it is useful for future reference. Which means Ali isn't deleting a lot.
She constantly files messages into folders and subfolders.
"If I get too far behind, I take it all and dump it into a folder called archives," she says. "It doesn't take but a few days to get backlogged again."
Sigh. One woman's instant access and convenience is another woman's backlog. With threats of spam and viruses increasingly diminished by sophisticated filters, e-mail's other foibles are attracting more attention.
E-mail has its attractions. The Wall Street Journal recently profiled e-mail addicts. But for every e-mail junkie trying to break the habit, there are a lot more office workers simply trying to control the onslaught. That's why ICC began offering a class on using Microsoft Windows Outlook last fall.
"People know how to send e-mail; they don't know how to manage it," says Jennifer Spengler, an assistant professor in ICC's business and information systems department, who teaches the class.
Or they've created their own, often wayward, management system.
"I don't file e-mail," admits Prasad Perini, a software engineer who oversees software development for Advanced Information Services.
Perini estimates he gets about 100 legitimate e-mails a day. One day last week, his inbox held 5,000 messages.
He creates folders for certain projects and topics. Otherwise, if he needs to reference an old message in his inbox, he searches by date or the person's name. He archives messages every six months or once a year onto his hard drive, which reduces the load on the company server and backup systems.
"Managing my e-mail has not become unmanageable yet," he says.
Sally McGhee, a productivity consultant and author of a book of organizing tips for Microsoft Outlook, cites studies that show the average person spends up to an hour a day searching for stored documents and e-mail messages.
E-mail organizing habits tend to mirror organizing habits in general, Spengler says. Deleters tend not to have many stacks of paper on their desks either. Packrats typically hoard e-mail messages, too.
But in many offices, e-mail also comes with an overseer, an information technology director whose job is partly to track who is taking up all the space on the server and slowing down the system.
ICC's IT director creates a "hit list" of the biggest users and e-mails it to everyone at the school. Ali is usually in the top five, if not higher.
"It's embarrassing," she says.
And one more e-mail to deal with.

(USA) Senate Bill 1534 Identify Theft and Tax Fraud Prevention Act
I recently posted about US Senator Sherrod Brown and the "Dear Colleague" letter in which he was requesting other Senators to join him in writing to genealogy websites to remove from their websites the Social Security Death Index (SSDI) also known as the Death Master File (DMF) that had legally purchased and posted. According to the Lake City Journal,
http://tinyurl.com/77fq3ca original url:
the "Dear Colleague letter was sent to genealogy websites by Senators Nelson
(D-FL), Brown (D-OH), Durbin (D-IL) and Stabenow (D-MI).
Senator Bill Nelson (D-FL) introduced SB 1534, the Identity Theft and
Tax Fraud Prevention Act See: http://tinyurl.com/75de8o9
original url:
http://www.gpo.gov/fdsys/pkg/BILLS-112s1534is/pdf/BILLS-112s1534is.pdf .
This bill has been referred to the Senate Finance Committee.
Senator Nelson serves on the Senate Finance Committee.
In addition to addressing tax fraud and establishing penalties, and user id numbers for those who apply about tax fraud, Section 9 (page 6) restricts access to the Death Master File. For the calendar year of the person's death and the calendar year following, disclosure of information on a deceased person listed in the DMF is prohibited unless they are certified. Certification would be done through the Secretary of Commerce and only to those who have a legitimate fraud prevention interest. The Social Security Administration would not be compelled to disclose any person in the DMF that is not certified.
Companion legislation in the House of Representatives are:
HR 3482 by Rep Kathy Castor ( D- FL)
http://tinyurl.com/83p4b4p original url:
This bill has been referred to the House Ways and Means Committee and the
Finance Committee.
and HR 3215 by Rep Kathy Castor (D-FL) and Richard Nugent (R-FL)
http://tinyurl.com/7fgsd5s original url
This bill was referred to House Ways and Means Committee.
I don't know why Rep. Castor introduced the bill twice.
Genealogy websites that post the SSDI (the commercial name of the DMF) obtain the information from the Social Security Administration. The reading of this bill as currently written would prevent the websites from obtaining and posting the SSDI during the time frame when certification is required (the calendar year the death of the person occurred and the following
calendar year).

Please, I would welcome restrictions on the use of this information. My son died last September, he was killed in a traffic accident. When I went to file our taxes this year they were rejected because my son's SSN had already been used on somebody else's tax return. No-one else is entitled to use this information. My wife and I have enjoyed a long marriage. There is no way anyone else would have even known his information, yet alone been entitled to use it. Once he died it became public information and was stolen to benefit someone else's pocketbook. Please put your-self into our shoes... we already had to bury our son once, now we have to prove to the IRS that he is our son. We have to file paper returns, electronic ones are not accepted. We have to submit his death certificate, birth certificate, a written letter stating we are entitled to claim him, and copies of our driver's licenses. It will take 8 to 12 weeks to even be looked at; if an error is found... which it will be... the criminal simply has to pay back the money with penalties. No prosecution exists in these cases as they can very easily lie and state that they simply made a mistake. If you actually think this is all ok, then I don't understand you. I pray this never happens to you.ReplyDelete
My son's name was Joshua Miller of Latham MO - he died while driving... he was wearing his seat belt. His phone was in his pocket. He was on his way to work... the death certificate listed the cause of death as crushing injuries to the head, throat, chest and lower extremities. They had to use 4 tow trucks to separate the two vehicles. The other driver was fine. Please, be aware - under current laws you cannot stop this type of identity theft. This can't be ok.

While clearly this form of identity theft must be stopped, the solution need not be eliminating the Social Security Death Index from public view. When there is a leak in a dike, the solution is to repair the leak, not drain the lake. There are a number of solutions. The simplest is not post to the SSDI for some short period of time, like a year or two. This would satisfy most genealogists but may not satisfy other users who use it as proof of death. The proper solution should be determined by a group of interested parties; a solution that solves the identity theft problem without impeding those who have a need for the index.Delete

From fairies to fashion to football, themes for summer day camps abound. But how do you go about choosing a camp for your child?
From fairies to fashion to football, themes for summer day camps abound. But how do you go about choosing a camp for your child?
An important factor beyond cost, dates, safety and location is what other parents say about last summer's experiences. Were their kids happy and eager for the next day or hot and miserable at pick-up time?
"Get a recommendation from another parent," suggests a mother of three boys in Asheville, N.C. "And sign your child up with one of his friends." Last summer, this mom relied on information in a camp brochure. It turned out to be inaccurate, and her usually amenable 10-year-old didn't make it to day five.
Moms are putting out calls on Facebook:
"Summer camps for second-grader in the area? Anyone have any good recommendations?"
"Any peeps going to basketball camp?"
And they are getting out their trusty spreadsheets to keep track of times, car pools and budgets for their busy families.
Beyond talking to friends for references, do some homework to further evaluate whether a camp is a good match for your child's personality, interests and abilities. Ask the camp director:
What is the camp's overall philosophy? What would a typical day be like? How competitive are the activities? How much supervision is there? How are teachers and counselors screened and trained? At sports camps with broad age ranges, how will the kids be divided? What is the cancellation policy?
One mom says she chose her 4-year-old daughter's first camp last summer because of an art teacher with whom her child was familiar. Mom will choose the same camp this summer with the same instructor. For younger kids especially, the bond with a teacher or coach can make all the difference.
Other advice from parents:
Schedule camp weeks so they are not back to back. A mother of three kids says she learned early on not to overdo summer camps, especially full-day ones. And it may sound obvious, but don't register your children for camps in which they have no interest, she says. With only 10 weeks off from school, three weeks of camps, including scout and church camps, will be enough, says another mother who wants her three children to have plenty of downtime and outdoor time. In looking at whether a camp is worth the cost, she's opposed to paying for a week when one day is a field trip to the movies. Be careful of camps where the kids are on the move all day with no downtime and little time spent indoors in air conditioning, warns a mom of two boys. "Those kids look miserable," she says. "Choose what they're interested in and not just any old camp for a particular week because you want them to have something to do," says a mother of two girls. "If she's a writer, a writing camp; if she likes basketball, basketball camp. Look for more than just someone to watch your kids for four hours."
One mom lets her kids choose a camp or two to follow the passions they don't have time for during the school year. Now her goal is to find something that all three of her kids can do together.
For a family with four children in Davidson, N.C., it's all about tennis camp, because it's in the neighborhood. Each child gets to pick one other camp, but with their large family, affordability is tops on the day camp checklist. The right price beats out individual preferences and where other friends are going. Much of the children's summer will be spent at the neighborhood pool.
The American Camp Association has a new "Parents Place" blog, a resource for families, at campparents.org.

If you're anything like us, you're back at work after a long, sun-filled weekend — but not exactly loving it (Is next weekend here yet?). But, one thing we can say for our Monday malaise — it's definitely made us double down on our summer vacation plans. And thanks to By Malene Birger, we know exactly what we'll be wearing as we set out to those distant shores.
Nautical stripes; bright and lively tropical-print dresses; and the perfect, anchor-studded skinny jean — these clothes couldn't yell "vacation" more if they came with a round-trip ticket.

When BMW decided to rethink and reposition the venerable 3 series coupe, it set several ambitious goals: Rename it the 4 series, style it and equip it with an even more sporty and premium feel than the 3-series sedan, and charge more for it. We now know how much of a price premium the new 4 series will command.
When it goes on sale in late summer, BMW's 4 series, the renamed and redesigned successor to the 3-series coupe, will have a base price of $41,425, with shipping -- nearly $3,000 more than two key competitors.
The rear-wheel-drive 428i will be equipped with a twin-turbo 2.0-liter four-cylinder. The 435i, with a base price of $46,925, including shipping, will have a twin-turbo 3.0-liter inline six-cylinder. Both engines will be teamed with an eight-speed automatic or a six-speed manual. All-wheel drive is optional.
The 2013 Mercedes-Benz C250 starts at $38,705, and the 2014 Cadillac CTS coupe starts at $38,905. The prices include shipping. The current entry-level BMW 328i coupe starts at $39,625. The 4 series is 2 inches longer than the outgoing 3-series coupe at 110.6 inches and is 1.7 inches wider at 72 inches. It is also about an inch lower, giving it a sportier appearance.
A convertible version of the 4 series convertible will debut next year.

In its second year, the Philly Urban Theatre Festival has undertaken an ambitious schedule. Over the course of a 20-day span, 14 different plays with 50 total showings will be mounted under the rubric of the new festival. The plays will feature contemporary, African-American themes. The festival is the brainchild of its founder, producer/writer/director, Kash Goins. It is mounted through his company, GoKash Productions.
Plymouth Meeting resident Tiffany Barrett, 36, who will undertake major roles in two festival plays, grew up in New York. "I like to say I was born In the Bronx, raised in Harlem and refined on the Upper East Side. But most of my younger formative years were spent in the Bronx literally one block from Yankee Stadium.
"I grew up walking the Great White Way every day knowing that my time would come, just not knowing when. My mother was constantly taking my sister and me to Broadway musicals and Lincoln Center to see the New York City Ballet or Shakespeare in the Park."
Barrett will perform in "The Diary of the Secret Wife" and "The Other Side of Love." Adapted from a controversial novel by T. Nicole and helmed by Walter DeShields, "The Diary of the Secret Wife" focuses on a black woman who is surreptitiously married to a career-driven white man. To avoid jeopardizing her husband's professional aspirations, she and their bi-racial son must remain carefully concealed as a secret.
Barrett described how she became involved with the play, "The director, who is a very good friend, asked me to come out and audition. I auditioned for the panel and won the role of Sharon, the protagonist's older sister. Sharon is stable, protective and definitely a mother bear. She protects all her loved ones, at all costs. Do not let her soccer mom look fool you. She hasn't forgotten where she came from …
"All you have to go on as an actor is the script. If you are lucky, there are a few hints In the stage directions. But the upside is that it gives the actor the freedom to build much of the character on her own and have fun with it. I certainly do that in this case."
Written and directed by Ina Farrell, "The Other Side of Love" is an ensemble piece set in a belly dancing studio. There, a close-knit group of friends reveal secrets, then deal with the consequences of these disclosures.
Barrett auditioned at her open call and was offered the role of Lala, "who is a true inner-city girl. She's all about the bling and doesn't mind compromising to get it. However, she is dealing with some serious issues. She also is a bit of a glamour doll. Playing that up too much can become one-dimensional, and the message would get lost, which we don't want to do.
"Lala is beautiful and hilarious. So I get to wear all the cutest outfits and deliver funny lines at the same time. I have a lot of fun with her. Lala is closer to what I am used to playing, a troubled woman trying to overcome some huge and horrible circumstances.
"As actors of color we often have to create our own opportunities. Kash and all of the writers who will participate in the festival did that. I spent four years in college working diligently in a major that a lot of people looked at as a joke. (She graduated from Temple University in 2006 with a degree in theater.) Why? So that I could tell stories, and these are some of the stores I would like to tell. There is always a whole new generation of theatergoers emerging, and we need to grab them now!"
For more on Tiffany Barrett, visit www.tiffanybarrett.com. The Philly Urban Theatre Festival runs through Oct. 9 at the Adrienne Theatre, 2030 Sansom St. For more information on the festival, visit www.putf.org.
"The Diary of a Secret Wife" will be performed on Friday, Sept. 30, 7:30 p.m., and Saturday, Oct. 1, 7:30 p.m. For more information, visit www.thediaryofthesecretwife-stageplay.com. "The Other Side of Love" will be performed on Sunday, Oct. 2, 3 and 8 p.m. For more information, visit www.myheavensong.com.

That was my point, Spain has had recent terrorist attacks - minor in comparison to other countries´ - but I think this map has the memory of a fish, it seems it only reflects the very latest incidents.
Right, this is my point.Seven days is good but it is short.We had an explosion only last week, and the map shows Spain clear which is actual but it is deceiving because ETA is active here, just takes its time between attacks.So I guess, it could happen to other countries.
please let us not split hairs.It is an opinion, you know.
But, my dear sister, that's what this site is all about. We very innocently become members thinking we'll learn something about Orthodoxy and then...it hits us; this person just said something incorrect and we must, we must at all costs, correct them. Often it doesn't really matter at all but that's not the point. We can't let another second go by without correcting them. And not only must we correct them, we must do it in a condescending manner by beginning with, "Uh,...". You must not have read the purpose as stated in the agreement form. I mean.. Uh, did you not bother to read the agreement form in it's entirety?!
Or I wrote my post before she wrote hers, but didn't post it until a minute and a half after hers.Oh, that would be splitting hairs.But indirectly condemning someone for pointing something out that another poster may have missed on the site they were looking at, that isn't condescending, is it?
Relax, friend, I wasn't referring to you. Feeling guily 'bout something?

When experienced pros choose among competing job offers, retirement benefits usually factor into their calculations. And when an employer reduces its employees' retirement benefits, it's essentially reducing their compensation. Topic A at a conference this week in Washington, D.C.: Whether those closely related truisms will make it more difficult for government employers to attract competent talent in an era when many public pension programs are under pressure to make payouts less generous.
The conference was sponsored by the Center for State & Local Government Excellence, a nonprofit that focuses on public-sector management issues. Among the speakers: Alicia Munnell, director of the Center for Retirement Research at Boston College and a regular Encore contributor. Munnell argues that pension benefits have helped compensate for the salary gap between private- and public-sector employment, and that steep pension cuts would put government employers at a hard-to-surmount disadvantage. (That argument raises an interesting philosophical question: Could governments pay their staff more up-front if they were able to slim down their pension obligations?)
Liz Farmer of Governing magazine writes here about the conference and about some of the ways that public-sector managers have tried to compensate for cuts.

My husband calls me his crazy warrior. I can power through home water birth, Eka Pada Koundinyasana, and refrigerator management. When I'm angry, I throw things (clogs, hardcover novels) with great speed and skill (at the wall, not at him). And I don't give up, slow down, or shut up until an argument is resolved.
But my combat skills are mysteriously absent when it comes to plucking blackberries. I hold my breath when I gather them—even when they are at their sweetest, plumpest, optimum fall-into-my-hands state. I get agitated, my hands start to itch, I feel weak. I can't place them in the jar fast enough. And then I bail and get my husband. He will pick blackberries for over an hour without a single complaint.
So here's a recipe for my husband of 10 years (this week). My beautiful blackberry picker. He's no fridge ninja. But he's mine.
printable recipe
printable recipe
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon water
3 cups blackberries
pinch of salt
pinch of salt
1 tablespoon lemon juice
Place sugar and water in a medium-sized saucepan. Cook over medium heat. Swirl it around by the pot handle to keep it cooking evenly. When it starts to smoke and turn light brown, toss in the blackberries. Careful. It might spatter a bit. Stir until blackberries have released their juices (2-3 minutes). Take off the heat and stir in the salt and lemon juice. Let cool for 10 minutes. Serve over ice cream. Or cool completely and drizzle over yoghurt. It keeps in the fridge for a week. It will keep for a few months in the freezer.

Miguel Rio Branco
Miguel Rio Branco
Spain - 1946
Miguel Rio Branco takes direct, often brutal or graphic photos of Brazilian society, exploring themes of bestiality, prostitution, and violence. He is particularly drawn to sites of contrast, an interest he explored most explicitly with his 1985 book Dulce Sudor Amargo, in which he juxtaposed images of historical Salvador de Bahia with images of its sensual side—prostitutes and other fringe members of society. Rio Branco sees his work as a series of non-linear thematic explorations and doubts that photography can be both documentary and artistic. "To me art is a question of: first, having something to say from the inside that has nothing to do with the description of reality, reality being just the material thing that the camera captures," he has said. "I…create images that, when related to others in specific constructions, make sense, create rhythms, and bring emotions to the surface."
Brazilian, b. 1946, Las Palmas de Gran Canaria, Spain, based in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

BISD board forgoes Walker funds
Beaumont Independent School District (BISD) trustees voted 4-2 to forego any right to roughly $2 million forfeited by district electrical contractor Calvin Walker, who admitted to falsifying invoices submitted to the school district for payment. The decision to not seek the funds came Oct. 18, a day after an attempt by BISD board president Woodrow Reece and Melody Chappell to claim attorney's fees from the Walker money was denied by a federal court.
According to the Motion to Strike a Claim alleging rights to Walker's forfeited funds filed by Chappell and verified by Reece, "Beaumont ISD assisted the United States Attorney's office in gathering information (and) witnesses for prosecution of this matter. Beaumont ISD seeks to obtain payment for attorney fees and costs associated with the attempted prosecution of Calvin Walker.
"Beaumont ISD has incurred costs which can be calculated and proven."
U.S. Attorney Michael Lockhart filed an objection to Chappell's motion, stating, "The United States files this Motion to Strike the claim of Beaumont Independent School District (BISD) because BISD has failed to allege an ownership interest in the Defendant Property. Without such allegation of ownership, BISD has no standing to challenge the forfeiture and the claim should be stricken."
A final order dated Oct. 17 sides with the U.S. Attorney, stating that, "the Court is of the opinion that BISD has failed to allege an ownership interest in the Defendant Property. IT IS ORDERED that the claim of BISD is stricken from the record."
Funds made available to BISD resulted from a July 17 plea agreement between Walker and the federal court wherein he agreed to forfeit $3.2 million in assets. U.S. Attorney's Office spokeswoman Davilyn Walston said any money left over after taxes and fines were confiscated from the allotment was available to BISD to reclaim since the funds initially came from checks issued to Walker by BISD in response to falsified invoices.
Funds from the forfeited money not used for BISD's restitution will be placed into a national fund for crime victim compensation.
Immediately after learning of the forfeited funds up for the school district's taking, the BISD Board of Trustees elected not to pursue the money. Who authorized Reece and Chappell to file the court's most recently rejected motion is still unclear. However, the board addressed the issue at their Oct. 18 board meeting, again electing not to pursue any retribution.
Trustee Tom Neild said he was not satisfied with the school's board's decision and had requested the issue be put on the board's Oct. 18 meeting agenda.
"The whole intent is for us to take action – for the U.S. Attorney's Office to come in and let us know what our options are and how we can go about getting back our funds," Neild said, adding that, "anyone who doesn't want to seek the restitution needs to explain why they don't want to seek those funds. They need to explain why to the taxpayers."
Reece said Walker was not convicted of charges that alleged he bilked BISD by overcharging in the millions.
"Who are you to judge him?" he said. "The court didn't charge him, so why should we? They want us to do what the courts could not do."
The view expressed by Reece and apparently shared by a majority of the BISD board ignores the fact the roughly $2 million was forfeited by their electrical contractor Walker in his guilty plea to tax evasion after he admitted falsifying invoices submitted to the school district for payment.
Several local residents disagreed with the board decision. In the public comments section of the meeting, they urged the district to do whatever it took to get that money back, noting the $2 million was needed for the schools and had been collected from taxpayers.
Trustee Tom Neild urged the board to appropriate funds to purchase playground equipment for newly constructed elementary schools, which drew this response from Trustee Zenobia Bush, who had just voted not to seek the forfeited Walker funds.
"I understand and have some sympathy towards the fact we would like to buy playground equipment for all the campuses, but it seems to me a little premature to do this since we didn't budget for this amount of money, which is almost $2 million," said Bush. Her remarks were greeted with derisive laughter from audience members who apparently saw bitter irony in Bush's concern over this $2 million.
Dr. Chargois then informed Bush the district had no money for playgrounds at this time.

The fitness industry lost a longtime advocate and former owner last week when Bob Delmonteque passed away at his home in Malibu, CA. He was 85.
The Holy Cross Mortuary and Cemetery in Culver City, CA, confirmed that Delmonteque died on Nov. 21. A memorial service will be held at 1 p.m. on Wednesday at Holy Cross Mortuary.
Delmonteque operated clubs with Ray Wilson and Dick Minns that included the Jack LaLanne European Health Spas, Executive Health Clubs and the Presidents Health Club in Houston. Delmonteque set up a conditioning program to train astronauts, including Jim Lovell, before their NASA space missions. Lovell later served as chairman of the President's Council on Physical Fitness and Sports.
Delmonteque was born on Nov. 9, 1926, according to Larry Gurney, founder of The Rush Fitness Complex, Knoxville, TN, who says Delmonteque was like a grandfather to him and talked to him three to four times a week for several years.
"There is not one pioneer in our industry that doesn't know, respect and love Bob Delmonteque," Gurney says, noting that Delmonteque worked with or had been partners with many people on the who's who list in the fitness industry.
Delmonteque belied his age with a chiseled physique befit a man in his 30s and 40s, let alone someone well into his 70s and 80s.
"He was really a freak of nature," says Bill Hubner, a friend of Delmonteque's for 50 years. "He was in such good shape. He kept himself in such good shape. Nobody at his age looked the way he did."
Hubner is the owner of Paramount Fitness, Los Angeles, as well as Fitness USA, which has clubs in Michigan, Indiana and California. He also is a principal partner of The Rush Fitness Complex. Hubner says the secret to Delmonteque's physique was his dedication.
"We would have a big Thanksgiving turkey dinner, and he would go in the other room and do 1,000 sit-ups," Hubner says. "He was a great guy. A warm, caring, completely dedicated fitness guy. Everybody knew him and loved him. He made a lasting impression on everybody."
In an email, Wilson wrote of Delmonteque: "The importance that Jack LaLanne was for public awareness of exercise, Bob Delmonteque was just as important for really pushing conditioning exercise, which was really cardio exercise as we refer to it today. Bob was the originator of a lot of great things in the fitness industry. Bob was willing to be the hands-on guy and let others get the credit."
An author of several books, including "Lifelong Fitness 2004," Delmonteque was perhaps best known as a trainer to the stars, training such Hollywood legends as John Wayne, Errol Flynn, Clark Gable and Marilyn Monroe.
"I got them into shape for movies," Delmonteque told Club Industry in a 2009 interview. "The studios, when they had an actor that was out of shape, they used to call me, and it was my job to get them into shape. It was a very, very easy thing to do because a lot of them were eating the wrong foods, drinking, not doing any exercise. You'd have two or three weeks. Almost all of the time, you would succeed."
Delmonteque, who also worked with boxing great Jack Dempsey, long admired LaLanne, Club Industry's Lifetime Achievement Award recipient who died earlier this year at the age of 96. Delmonteque said he wished he had some of the "pizzazz" that LaLanne had.
"I always used to tell Jack, 'You're my inspiration. If you make it to 100, I'm going to make it to 100,'" he said.
Delmonteque, who added that he had led "quite an illustrious life," also worked alongside another Club Industry Lifetime Achievement Award recipient, Joe Weider, on his magazine, Muscle & Fitness. American Media Inc., the parent company of Weider Publications, which publishes Muscle & Fitness, issued the following statement on the Muscle & Fitness website: "The AMI/Weider family wishes to extend its condolences to the family and friends of Bob Delmonteque and will continue to honor his lifelong commitment to the fitness lifestyle."

With big reward possible, who will roll the dice on Cruz?
What is the right price for Nelson Cruz?
Cruz has obvious run-producing ability. And yet, over on the debit side, there is age, there is an injury history and, last but not least, there is the 50-game PED-related suspension that occurred in 2013.
What is the right price for Nelson Cruz?
Cruz has obvious run-producing ability. And yet, over on the debit side, there is age, there is an injury history and, last but not least, there is the 50-game PED-related suspension that occurred in 2013.
Put it all together and the Nelson Cruz package doesn't lend itself to a convenient group of comparables. He's a gamble for somebody. Cruz is potentially a worthwhile gamble, but at what cost and over what length of time?
Persistent reports have Cruz heading to the Seattle Mariners. In the context of one team spending considerable money and taking sizable chances this winter, maybe this fits.
The Mariners went mammoth on the Robinson Cano signing -- $240 million over 10 years, an Albert Pujols-sized deal. They also signed two players -- Corey Hart and Logan Morrison -- who have considerable pop, but who have had serious knee injuries.
Seattle has also reportedly signed closer Fernando Rodney to a two-year, $14 million deal. Rodney will turn 37 in March. He had one of the finest seasons in the history of relief pitching in 2012 for Tampa Bay, but was much more like his average in '13.
You can understand the Mariners' sincere and expensive efforts to get better. In the American League West, they are up against two teams with major-market revenues and spending habits to match, although the Rangers have had much more recent success than the Angels. That discussion doesn't even include the club that won the division each of the past two seasons, the Oakland Athletics. The A's have loads of pitching and the ability to mix and match a lineup that has been productive enough, even though it is a bargain-basement crew compared to the rest of the teams in the division.
So the Cruz signing would not be out of character for the way Seattle has approached the rest of this offseason.
Cruz has obvious power. He had a .506 slugging percentage in 2013, hitting 27 home runs in just 109 games.
But Cruz wasn't available for the last 50 games of the regular season because of the suspension. The performance-enhancing drug issue will always give pause. Will Cruz return and be the productive hitter he was for the bulk of his career? Or will he return from the suspension and have the kind of truly disappointing season that some other players have produced in their returns from PED-related suspensions?
On Cruz's side of the argument is a substantial track record as a productive offensive player. But there are other concerns.
Cruz will turn 34 in July. Only once in his Major League career has he played in more than 128 games in a season (159 in 2012).
The team that signs Cruz will also lose a Draft pick because the Rangers made a $14.1 qualifying offer to him.
In these circumstances, it is difficult to imagine a contract longer than two years -- or at most a two-year deal with an option for a third. As far as the money goes, the Mariners have already surprised the market this winter, and they may again in the case of Cruz.
There are good and valid reasons to look upon Nelson Cruz as a difference-maker in a lineup. There are also reasons to approach his acquisition with a reasonable, logical, measurable amount of caution.
It will only take one club to view the difference-maker aspect as the more important, more compelling factor, and the caution will be relegated to a distant second place.

Here's an example from a recent project. I needed to create UUIDs. Looking around, I found RFC 4122, which describes UUID generation, and helpfully provides a sample implementation in C. Unfortunately, that code generates random UUIDs that aren't very random (32 bits of randomness in a 128 bit value).
Now, I could reimplement this code (or something similar) in Haskell, and fix the lack-of-randomness issue. Or I could find another UUID generator, and reimplement that directly. But really, my goal here is to grab random 128-bit UUID values and move on. Getting distracted by a research project isn't part of the plan.
A little googling found that a version of
uuid_generate(3) is bundled within
e2fsprogs. My target system has
e2fsprogs installed, so that's a plus. And, interestingly enough, '
man uuid_generate' on my MacBook turns up this manpage:
UUID_GENERATE(3) UUID_GENERATE(3)(Turns out that Apple includes this as part of the standard C library. Thanks, Apple!)
uuid_generate, uuid_generate_random, uuid_generate_time - create a new
unique UUID value
#include <uuid/uuid.h>
void uuid_generate(uuid_t out);
void uuid_generate_random(uuid_t out);
void uuid_generate_time(uuid_t out);
Theodore Y. Ts'o
A little more lurking, and I see that a
uuid_t is merely an array of 16 characters. As the man page says, this is an output parameter. (It's odd to see code like this after programming in high level languages for so long, but this is C, and what are you going to do?)
Next, I started paging through the GHC User's Guide and the Standard Libraries documentation, and came up with this declaration:
foreign import ccall unsafe "uuid_generate" uuid_generateThis declaration is a direct translation out of the man page.
:: Ptr Word8 -> IO ()
Next, I needed to construct a 16-byte buffer to receive the UUID value from
uuid_generate, which requires using some functions in the
Foreign library. As soon as
uuid_generate finishes, the buffer needs to be translated into a Haskell string. Note that the return value is a 128-bit integer, and I want to convert that into sequence of printable hex digits. Here's the more convenient interface into the UUID generator:
import ForeignThats it! Easy Peasy.
import Numeric (showHex)
uuid :: IO String
uuid = allocaBytes 16 $ \p -> do
uuid_generate p
uuid <- peekArray 16 p
return $ concat $ map toHex uuid
toHex :: Word8 -> String
toHex w = case showHex w "" of
w1:w2:[] -> w1:w2:[]
w2:[] -> '0':w2:[]
_ -> error "showHex returned []"

Thoughts on War
In the 18th century, wheelwrights crafted precise woodworking joints to bring the hub, spokes, and rim sections together into perfectly round wheels for the vehicles — wheelbarrows, riding chairs, carriages, and carts — needed to move people and possessions from place to place. Today in Colonial Williamsburg, the wheelwrights produce wheels for all the vehicles used in the Historic Area.
(Requires Quicktime, or other MP3 player)
Colonial American wheelwrights were unlike their European counterparts — that is to say urban European counterparts — in that they were responsible for more than wheels alone and making freight vehicles as well.
We don't have the abundance of labor here in the colonies to support the multiple subspecialties that we would have seen in the urban areas of England, for example, in particular.
So, wheelwrights are making wheelbarrows of various types, two-wheel carts of various types, freight wagons, of course...
A wheelwright in the colonies in war time, depending on the particular wheelwright, who may have very strong feelings one way or the other about the war, could decide he's going to join up and offer his services. His basic work probably is not changing during the war. He's making similar vehicles, they're just being used for a different purpose.
But certainly the war effort is going to need someone who is in a position to service vehicles in the field as need be - blacksmiths, wheelwrights, etc. He, on the other hand, might be of a mind to stay home and try to maintain his business.
If he is a family man, who's going to take care of his family should he close his business to go to war? If something should happen to him during war time, what happens to his family in that case?
So, depending upon the amount of business perhaps that he would realize staying at home rather than going afield, he may opt to stay at home if the work is there. Probably a good portion of his clientele, for that matter, his buying public, are also going off to war at that time, so he may be losing his local business in large part and quite possibly in a better position if he were to go off with the army at that time.
Chris Wright interprets the craft of the wheelwright in the Historic Area.

- Water Rights Related to Oil Shale Development in the Upper Colorado River Basin
- Concerns over fluctuating oil prices and declining petroleum production worldwide have revived interest in oil shale as a potential resource. The Energy Policy Act of 2005 (P.L. 109-58) identified oil shale as a strategically important domestic resource and directed the Department of the Interior to promote commercial development. Oil shale development would require significant amounts of water, however, and water supply in the Colorado River Basin, where several oil shale reserves are located, is limited. This report will provide a brief overview of water rights in Colorado, Utah, and Wyoming, including changes that may be made to currently held water rights and the possibility for abandonment of unused water rights.

As part of their 2012 initiative cut costs and realign certain business functions, Nokia announced it will begin outsourcing certain IT responsibilities to HCL Technologies and TATA Consultancy Services.
This decision could affect about 1100 current Nokia employees, including 300 layoffs and up to 820 employees getting transferred to the aforementioned consulting firms. All changes are expected to occur solely within their workforce in Finland.
A press release from the Finnish manufacturer states that they are "beginning the process of engaging with employee representatives on these plans in accordance with country-specific legal requirements." It also says that all employees affected by this latest volley of cuts will receive "financial support and a comprehensive Bridge support program," though no details are given.
While nobody likes to see job cuts, the bright side is that this is last round of employment changes that Nokia expects to make as part of their plan announced last June. And from a business perspective, it's a good sign for Nokia as a company that they do not anticipate having to make any further major cuts. That's not much consolation to those workers who are being transferred or losing their jobs, but it's a much silver lining as one can expect from such a thing.

Woodinville, Wa — LeMond Fitness and Life Fitness are in a distribution dispute related to LeMond's RevMaster Pro group cycling bikes. Life Fitness, owned by Brunswick Corp., Lake Forest, IL, has had the exclusive rights to sell LeMond RevMaster bikes in North America and some international markets since 2002.
In late May, Brunswick filed a civil lawsuit in Illinois seeking $3.9 million in damages related to the distribution of LeMond bikes, per published reports. According to the suit, Life Fitness received hundreds of customer complaints about RevMaster handle bars, seats and pedals since early 2008 and has spent more than $225,000 on warranty and service work because of the problems. The company also said it has lost customers in the process. The issues prompted Life Fitness to terminate its distribution agreement with LeMond in May, the company says.
LeMond denied the quality allegations and filed a lawsuit in federal court seeking more than $1 million in damages for early termination of the distribution agreement. LeMond issued a letter to its retailers last month in which it said that Life Fitness' allegations "are without merit" and are an "act of bad faith designed with no other purpose than to injure our reputation as a brand."
John Post, LeMond Fitness president, says that club owners may now order RevMaster and G-Force bikes, as well as parts and technical support, directly from LeMond Fitness. To report problems with the RevMaster bikes, of which 75,000 have been sold in the United States, customers can call 425-482-6773, ext. 109.
Life Fitness also said it will back the LeMond products it has sold.

Three clocks are ticking for the rattled rulers of Iran.
One clock, which they see in their favor, is a countdown to the day, perhaps a year or so away, when the country's scientists gain the capacity to produce a nuclear weapon.
A second counts the time until a September deadline, set by President Obama, for Tehran to respond to an offer of talks on the nuclear issue or face a stern response.
But it is the third clock, one that will influence the other two, that matters most to the regime of Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei and President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad.
It measures the moments until their legitimacy runs out. It is counted in the number of popular demonstrations since a flawed June 12 election, the instances of power struggles among the divided rulers, and the occurrences of stinging criticisms from respected Islamic clerics.
The Islamic Republic is in trouble as it struggles to ruthlessly stamp out dissent. And that was made clear again during the crackdown Thursday during a march by thousands of Iranians to the graveside of Neda Agha Soltan, the young woman killed in a June 20 protest.
Ms. Soltan's death serves as a powerful symbol of the victimization of Iranians by a regime that meddles in their daily lives and resorts to stealing elections to stay in power. But Iranians are also irked by reports of brutality used against hundreds of detained protesters in prison.
A regime that rules in the name of God and came to power in 1979 because of the shah's brutality can't survive for long by resorting to killing prisoners and brutalizing others.
One powerful Shiite cleric, Ayatollah Hossein Ali Montazeri, condemned this summer's crackdown by asking rhetorically in a statement this week: "Was the regime of the shah able to resist the wave of dissatisfaction by using terror, oppression, censorship, torture, forced confessions, and lying propaganda?"
More cracks at the top are starting to open. The supreme leader and President Ahmadinejad have engaged in an open quarrel over a key appointment. The intelligence chief was fired. Most of the grand ayatollahs refuse to recognize the election result, which was crudely rigged for Mr. Ahmadinejad. And two former presidents, Ali Akbar Hashemi Rafsanjani and Mohammad Khatami, are becoming more openly critical of the regime.
The supreme leader, who usually works behind the scenes, has had to become more public in an attempt to appear partially conciliatory. He closed a notorious prison and ordered many political prisoners released. But as his legitimacy slips, he has also had to rely more on the forces of the Revolutionary Guard, which often operate outside the law and the norms of justice. This militarization of the regime will only further spell its demise.
At root, Iran's problem is that its reigning theocrats do not respect the sense of justice as reflected in the hearts of their people. The supreme ruler cannot live in a contradiction in which he allows a modicum of democracy but then claims all secular powers in the name of Allah. He cannot trust young people to vote wisely but then send the religious police to arrest them for dating.
The world must condemn these brutal tactics but also wait as this regime slowly crumbles under its use of terror and fear.
The clocks on the nuclear issue keep ticking. But for now, it is the tick-tock counting the end of a regime that is drowning them out.

Bieszard, Van Deventer Recognized for Outstanding Careers
NEW HAVEN – The Yale men's track and field team held its annual banquet on Tuesday at the Ray Tompkins House in recognition of its accomplishments as a unit and of those of its standout individuals. In particular, seniors Matthew Bieszard and John Van Deventer received special acknowledgments.
Bieszard, this year's team captain, was honored with two separate awards. The first was the Lee Calhoun Award, presented to an "outstanding member of the Men's and Women's Track and Field Team who excels in Sprinting and/or Hurdling." The award is given annually in memory of Lee Calhoun, a two-time Olympic medalist and former world record holder in the 110-meter hurdles and head Yale men's track coach from 1975-1980. Bieszard was also the recipient of the James Stack '61 Award, given annually to a male and female track athlete who best personifies Jim Stack. Stack was the captain of the 1961 Yale team that swept the "big three" meets: Harvard-Yale-Princeton, Heps, and IC4As.
The honors were well-deserved, as Bieszard has been Yale's top performer on the track all season. He was Second-Team All-Ivy in the 400-meter dash both indoors and outdoors, and currently holds the third-fastest indoor 200-meter time in Yale history (21.81) and the fifth-fastest outdoor 400-meter time (46.92). In addition, the Midland Park, N.J. native has played an invaluable role as a leader, shaping a trio of freshman sprinters into an All-East 4x400-meter relay team.
Van Deventer was awarded the Gardner Millett Memorial Award for the second year in a row. The distinction celebrates an "outstanding member of the Men's Track and Field Team who excels in Sportsmanship, Courage, and Inspiration." It is presented in memory of Gardner Millett Jr. '38. Van Deventer, a fifth-year senior from Surrey, England, was sidelined by injuries for three years before returning last year to place third at Heps in the 1500-meter run and qualify for the finals at the NCAA East Regional. This year, Van Deventer once again struggled with injuries, but persevered and emerged as a vital contributor to the team late in the season. His 2012 year was highlighted by a victory in the 800-meter run at the Yale Springtime Invitational and an outstanding leg in the 4x800-meter relay at Heps.
