As a vast, solid phalanx the generations come on, they have the same features and their pattern is new in the world. All wear the same expression, but it is this which they do not detect in each other. It is the one life which ponders in the philosophers, which drudges in the laborers, which basks in the poets, which dilates in the love of the women. - Ralph Waldo Emerson, NotebooksAs this first year of being your minister winds down, I look back and see how far we have come as a congregation since the installation last June. Time has an elastic quality. In some ways it seems like last June was long ago, and then again, in some ways it seems like just yesterday. In actuality, a great deal has transpired in each of our lives since that time and the culmination of it all is staggering if you stop and try to sort it all out. When I think of this past year, I feel a strong sense of members using this spiritual community to explore the struggles and visions of being alive in this unpredictable world. This is what I consider to be of importance. As minister, I want to be engaged in this process and be an impetus for change in whatever arises next in our congregational life.
The Emerson quote reminds me of the unity that underlies our everyday existence. This "one life" is present even within the multi-layers of our diversified congregation. Our eclectic interests are clearly evident during a typical coffee hour (which often goes longer than an hour!!). But our common interests are what keep us going in a shared direction. Nothing has changed since Emerson's time except the ever-changing details. It's the constant influx of these new details that keep us moving ahead into the unanticipated and the unplanned. That's certainly what has happened this year and I suspect it will continue into the next.

Special report: Danger in the skies
If you want to live, don't fly on regional airlines.
Regrettably, that's the only reasonable conclusion I can draw after further analysis of the Colgan crash in Buffalo, an interview with a fellow pilot and a Squawking VFR study of National Transportation Safety Board aviation accident records.
I'm not trying to casually dump on a sector of the aviation industry that people love to kick around. But facts are facts.
Through inexperience, incompetence and gross negligence, regional airlines are consistently putting passengers in harm's way at a rate that exceeds their mainline counterparts.
And when accidents arise, the regional officials are happy to point the finger elsewhere, creating a culture that elicits defensive reactions and cover-ups instead of one that learns from mistakes and offers reform.
Along those lines, there's a ton to analyze and write about after last week's release of the cockpit voice recordings in the Colgan crash -- beyond the territory I've already covered in previous posts.
I'm going to save that for another day.
For now, I'm going to more broadly focus on the regionals. I don't want these statistics that I've unearthed to be missed amid the Buffalo rubble. They deserve their own post in the first-ever special report here.
These results are astounding. I never would have guessed the difference between the mainliners and regionals was so great until I bothered to see myself.
Discounting terrorism-related crashes, I've researched all NTSB scheduled-passenger aviation accident reports since 1995 to the present, looking at accidents that involved U.S.-registered aircraft operating on or above U.S. soil.
Here's what I found:
* Eight consecutive fatal accidents have involved regional airliners. Six of the eight, which have all occurred since May 21, 2000, were caused by pilot error, according to the NTSB.
* Ten of the past 12 fatal crashes have involved regional airliners.
* Mainliners have recorded their safest decade on record. The last fatal mainline crash came on Jan. 31, 2000, when an Alaska Air flight crashed into the Pacific Ocean due to mechanical problems.
* Unlike their mainline counterparts, regional accidents tend to be fatal. Eleven of the 12 regional crashes since 1995 have been fatal. Five of the 16 mainline crashes in the same timeframe resulted in fatalities.
* The disparity is even greater when you look at survivability. Occupants are more than four times as likely to die in a regional accident than they are a mainline accident.
Look at the number of fatalities per accident below versus the total number of occupants on board for regional airlines:
Date Airline Location Fatal/Total occupants
08/21/95 Atl. Southest Georgia 8/29
11/19/96 Great Lakes Quincy, Ill. 12/12
01/09/97 Comair Ida, Mich. 29/29
01/23/99 Colgan Hyannis, Mass. 0/4
05/21/00 Executive Air Scranton, Pa. 19/19
01/08/03 Air Midwest Charlotte, N.C. 21/21
08/26/03 Colgan Hyannis, Mass. 2/2
10/14/04 Pinnacle Jefferson City, Mo. 2/2
10/19/04 Corporate Air Kirksville, Mo. 13/15
12/19/05 Chalk Airways Miami, Fla. 20/20
08/27/06 Comair Lexington, Ky. 49/50
02/12/09 Colgan Buffalo, N.Y. 50/50
By my count, regional accidents have killed 212 of 238 possible passengers in these accidents, an 89.1 percent kill rate.
I'd venture to think that, as I did, most readers assume that aviation accidents tend to be fatal, that an 89.1 percent kill rate would be par for the course. But the statistics do not bear that out.
Not at all.
By contrast, accidents involving the mainline airlines, or "legacy" airlines if you prefer, are statistically much safer and much more survivable.
06/08/95 Valu-Jet Atlanta 0/62
12/20/95 Tower Air JFK 0/468
02/19/96 Continental Houston 0/87
05/11/96 Valu-Jet Everglades 110/110
07/06/96 Delta Pensacola, Fla. 2/146
07/17/96 TWA Long Island, N.Y.230/230
10/19/96 Delta LaGuardia 0/63
02/09/98 American Chicago O'Hare 0/121
11/01/98 AirTran Atlanta 0/105
06/01/99 American Little Rock 12/143
09/09/99 TWA Nashville 0/48
01/31/00 Alaska Point Mugu, Ca. 88/88
03/05/00 Southwest Burbank, Ca. 0/142
12/08/05 Southwest Chicago Midway 0/103
12/20/09 Continental Denver 0/112
01/15/09 US Airways Hudson River 0/155
Mainline accidents have killed 442 of 2,183 occupants in accidents, a 20.2 percent kill rate, and that's assuming you believe that TWA Flight 800 disintegrated over Long Island Sound because of a random spark in the center fuel tank.
(If you think I am counting aviation incidents in an attempt to bolster my numbers, I will state that I am counting only accidents, not incidents, as classified by the NTSB. There's a difference in the government's definition between the two. Accidents are generally more severe and involve structural damage).
How to explain the huge gap in numbers, in terms of frequency of accidents and survivability of them?
A friend of mine who works as a professional pilot, who came up through the regional ranks and now works at a mainline airline, describes significant diffences in not just the experience level of the pilots, but a difference in culture.
"I think professionalism, not rushing the checklist for the game of it, because it's cool to spit it out quickly, excessive talking, experience levels on a situation, are all so very different between the two."
"Checklists were a game for many at XXXXXX Airlines."
"The difference between the two were so big, and unfortunately, the more I know, teh less I want my family or me on the lesser regionals. Can't imagine flying on Great Lakes anymore."
If a seasoned pilot is worried about putting his family on a regional airline, so should you.
What's irksome is that, although it's printed in small type on a passenger ticket, most members of the flying public don't even realize they're purchasing a ticket on a Colgan or a Pinnacle.
They just know they're on Continental, and a plane painted with a Continental Express logo is waiting for them at the gate, ready to take them to Buffalo.
What they don't know, as seen in the stats above, can kill them.
The flying public deserves to know about the gaping differences between mainliners and regionals.
They deserve more than the blame-the-pilot responses they get from Colgan and others when things go wrong -- an injustice that will be looked at further in a future post.
Bottom line, they deserve a full investigation into the training practices and general culture at regional airlines, which sprouted largely when the industry was de-regulated in the 1980s.
The public deserves answers, and then reform.

South Korea's current account surplus hit a nine-month high in August on booming exports despite a slow U.S. economy, data showed on Tuesday, putting fresh upward pressure on an already-rising won.
The current account surplus rose 8.5% to a seasonally adjusted $1.83 billion in August from a revised $1.69 billion surplus in July, marking the biggest since a surplus of $2.46 billion in November last year, the central bank data showed.
Analysts said the strong current account performance led by robust exports would provide a further boost to the won , which has already climbed 4.3% in just six weeks since touching a 2007 low of 952.2 per dollar in August.
"The August current account surplus will give more reasons to buy the won," said Leslie Khoo, an economist at FORECAST.
The won has recently been driven up to two-month highs against the dollar amid the U.S. currency's weakness on lingering concern about the health of the world's largest economy.
But Khoo said South Korean foreign exchange authorities -- the Finance Ministry and the Bank of Korea (BOK) -- would probably intervene in the market to cap the won's rise.
"Currently, BOK seems to have become less tolerant on the won's strength, especially when the yen/won is on the fall," he added.
The won would reach its strongest level in a decade since late 1997 against the dollar if it rises above 912.6.
South Korean policymakers have repeatedly expressed concerns the won's rise against trade rivals, especially against the yen , would seriously hurt the country's export performance.
In August, the trade surplus widened to $3.74 billion on a seasonally adjusted basis, from a revised $3.10 billion surplus in July, also marking the biggest surplus in nine months since
November last year, the Bank of Korea data showed.
For the first eight months of the year, South Korea's current account surplus more than tripled to a seasonally adjusted surplus of $4.85 billion from a $1.52 billion surplus for the same period in 2006.
The Bank of Korea has predicted the current account surplus this year would fall to a third of last year's $6 billion.

Deuteronomy 21:18-21
My colleague Ralph Smith has recently written on this passage, here.
I entirely agree with Ralph's thrust, which is typological, that the passage is ultimately aimed at the entire nation of Israel itself as the rebellious son. But what I am thinking is from another perspective, perhaps a more immediate sociological perspective that deals with the immediate effect such a law would have on ancient, tribal, Israel. And let me say, that the seed of this is from the conservative Jew, Dennis Prager, in his dealing with some other laws in the Pentateuch.
One of the now gnawing Progressive doubts concerning biblical authority begins with Abraham. "What kind of God would tell someone to sacrifice their own son...?" (Abraham and Isaac) Well, Abraham did not sacrifice his son, and the precipice that God made him walk is the cornerstone of the end of human sacrifice (which he was surrounded by in the company of the Canaanites). And in conjunction with this, "How shocking that there is a law commanding the killing of ones' own child." A certain oddity of this, is the complaint comes from inside a civilization that most enthusiastically uphold Roe vs Wade, and would see its revocation as a return to barbarism, when such policies actually are at the heart of ancient barbarism. Since Roe vs Wade, 55 to 60 million children have been aborted. One wonders just what we could possibly say to Aztecs or Incas.
But, let me begin here: If someone is shocked by Deut. 21:18-21, then I think the appropriate answer to them is, "I see the law has worked, at least in your case..." We are now, in fact, shocked and appalled at cultures that kill their own children (however blindly since we countenance and promote abortion). But that of course has not always been so. The primary temptation of all tribal societies is father/son rivalry, and patricide and/or infanticide and child sacrifice, were extremely common. And who cannot understand "teenageacide"? Indeed, we still make jokes about it. To the bratty teenager, "I brought you into this world, and I can take you out again." Or, "Do you know why Abraham was called to sacrifice Isaac when he was twelve?" (Answer) "Because the next year he would have been a teenager, and then it wouldn't have been a sacrifice." What is a joke for us has been a deadly issue in primitive societies.
The law in Deuteronomy does not forbid killing your offspring, or having him killed (which is precisely what shocks progressives). No, rather, it imposes due process on the issue.
One of the things that is at heart here, is warrior, male rage. This would apply to both father and son. To go "berzerk" in battle is a known phenomenon. It is to be overtaken by a killing rage. In tribal and warrior societies, in controlled ways, this is highly prized. The danger in all tribal societies is that a father, and or, a son, in berzerk passion, will murder those in his own household. Angry passion is always, up to our own times, a great danger. When admired, it will sometimes go out of control. Fathers who kill their sons, and sons who kill their fathers, could well become feared and admired warriors.
Deuteronomy simply imposes due process on this issue, and it necessarily slows it down. It takes all passion out of the issue. It may even introduce a strong element of shame into the process.
Father and mother have to turn in the son to outside authorities (both parents is unique, not just the father, as with pater familias, in all other cultures). Both of the attributes in the passage are unique to the ancient world, all the way up to and through, the Roman Empire. Everywhere else, the law was the law of pater familias, the ownership of the father over the family, with legal authority, all the way up to imposing death on anyone in the family, at will. And, in Hebrew law, outside tribal elders have ultimate authority (not the father), and the mother as well as father have an appeal to these elders. This is a huge brake. The mother will have a different perspective. Father, mother, and son, will all be taken before tribal elders and testimony will be received not just from the father but also from the mother and from the son. In principle, there is no reason testimony could not also be received from others, from siblings, cousins, aunts and uncles, grandparents, and nearby neighbors and friends who would have knowledge of family behavior. That being the case, things might now look a little, or very different. What is the story, what's the whole story? Is father being a good father, one who names and inducts children into the knowledge of the Lord, or is he one who is "provoking his children to anger," and acting as an angry, raging, tyrant? This will now be a matter record before elders who decided things very deliberately and together, sifting evidence and testimony. Maybe in the end, the whole family will get a good lecture, and it is not impossible that sanctions could even be imposed on the father and / or the mother. It is now a matter of public shame and humiliation, not one of masculine fury, passion, and perhaps blood thirst that is momentary (and encouraged by tribal society). And, if the boy is found guilty, and the maximum penalty is to be exercised (and the maximum penalty is never a forgone conclusion --- to reform the son, he may have to do some kind of labor designed to bring restitution to family honor --- if his disobedience is less than total) then it isn't the father who just goes off and kills the kid. It's the whole community of all the men. A community stoning is not exactly a party. It is deliberate and gruesome, and something no family would ever, ever, ever want to be subject to. It would be remembered for years.
Due process slows things down, removes passion, and introduces all kinds of automatic disincentives. According to Dennis Prager, there is not one single instance in Jewish history of a rebellious son being put to death. I.e. it worked. Of course, we all know that in other senses, the passage is ironic. It typologically applies to Israel itself. Israel is the rebellious son, and was exiled as a symbolic death penalty in the Babylonian captivity, and this brought everlasting shame on the nation. And of course, Jesus was put to death in part, as "the rebellious son," with this as a justification. Jesus was accused of being a "glutton and a winebibber," the exact phrase from this law (Matthew 11:19, Luke 7:34).
Now this same process applies to other issues as well. According to Prager, slavery simply disappeared from Jewish cultures, for the same reason. Due process imposed by Hebrew law made slavery onerous (death for someone selling a kidnapped person into slavery, or keeping him [or her] as a slave, and all widespread slavery depends on kidnapping or "manstealing" -Exodus 21:16, death for killing a slave - Exodus 21:20, freedom for a slave injured by a master - Exodus 21:27, and the forbidding of pursuing a runaway slave - Deuteronomy 23:15-16). God did not forbid slavery, He simply imposed conditions on it that removed the advantages of it. The same is largely true of polygamy and concubinage, by legally imposing equal treatment for multiple wives (Deuteronomy 21: 15-17), and giving equal rights to concubines (Exodus 21:7-11), and the previous laws concerning slaves would also apply to concubines since concubinage is actually a form of slavery. There is no advantage to this form of a female slavery, if she has the full equal rights of a wife.
Just impose due process with certain legal conditions, and various things will disappear. Forbidding does not always work. Due process may be far more effective. The Bible is not utopian. It is utterly realistic, and its sanctions and commandments bring amelioration and progress, not empty promises.

The Colgate women's soccer team captured its first road win at Syracuse since 2006 Sept. 7 when the Raiders blanked the Orange, 1-0. Sophomore Mara Cosentino scored in the 20th minute to provide the offense, while classmate Kelly Chiavaro made six saves in goal to secure her first shutout of the season.
The Raiders handed the Orange just their second loss of the season, with Syracuse's only other defeat coming at the hands of No. 8 Florida. It marks Colgate's first win over the Orange since a 1-0 decision in Hamilton in 2014, and the first road win against Syracuse in 11 years.
Cosentino's goal was the first goal that Syracuse had surrendered in over 213 minutes of play. The last goal the Orange had given up was against No. 8 Florida Aug. 27.
Colgate trailed Albany 1-0 before goals from sophomore Lindsey Wiley and first-year Ellis Miller helped the Raiders to a 2-1 win against the defending America East champion Great Danes Sunday afternoon.
Sophia Boggs recorded four saves for the Raiders, while Albany's Andrea Leitner turned away six.
The Raiders begin Patriot League play Sept. 16 when they host Loyola. Kickoff from Beyer-Small '76 Field is set for 1 p.m.

No charges after pastor accused of sexual assault asks for forgiveness at church event
THE WOODLANDS, Texas – Taking a seat before a Memphis Congregation this Sunday morning, teaching Pastor Andy Savage asked for forgiveness from his accuser, his family and his church for what happened when he was a youth minister at a church in Spring.
"I regretfully had a sexual incident with a female high school senior," said Savage of High Point Church in Memphis.
This comes after his accuser, Jules Woodson, spoke out this weekend.
"I was sexually assaulted by my youth minister when I was 17 years old," Woodson said.
She said, after a church event at Woodlands Parkway Baptist Church, now known as Stonebridge Church, Savage drove her home but stopped along an empty road and asked her to perform a sexual act.
"This is something I've struggled with all my life," Woodson said.
She said to add to her pain and confusion, church leaders asked her to keep silent about what happened. Savage resigned and went back home to Tennessee.
"It's very hard to tell your story. It's very hard to speak up, especially when you feel pressured by the church to be silent," Savage said.
At times emotional, Savage said he asked for Woodson's forgiveness at the time.
"Until now, I did not know there was unfinished business with Jules," Savage said. "So today, I say, Jules, I am deeply sorry for my actions 20 years ago. I remain committed to cooperate with you towards your forgiveness and healing."
Savage's pastor said they were fully aware of Savage's past.
"I support him because I do know him so well," said Chris Conlee, senior pastor of High Point Church.
Empowered by the #MeToo movement, Woodson says she felt compelled to speak up.
"His apology isn't enough, because No. 1, he's lying about how he handled it," Woodson said. "He never came to me. The church told him he couldn't talk to me, and they told me I couldn't talk to him."
Steve Bradley, senior pastor at Stonebridge Church sent the following statement:
"We will be issuing a formal statement, but thought that it was important first to discuss this matter with our Church family, which I did today during our worship services. This happened twenty years ago and to suggest that I or anyone else on the staff at Stonebridge Church participated in a conspiracy to cover-up this sexual misconduct is simply not accurate.
"After Andy Savage confessed and asked for forgiveness from the victim, her parents, her discipleship group, and the Church staff, he was terminated. We were heartbroken twenty years ago when this happened and we remain heartbroken for Jules, her family and all those impacted."
According to the Montgomery County Precinct 3 Constable's Office, the statute of limitations in the case has passed.
Precinct 3 released a statement that read:
"Pastor Andy Savage sexual assault from 1998: We want to confirm with the media that this case has been brought to Montgomery County Constable's Office Precinct 3 attention yesterday. A case was opened and the complainant in the case was interviewed by a Detective. During the process of collecting initial information from the complainant we have been working with the District Attorney's office on possible charges in the case. Montgomery County District Attorney's office has researched the law that would have applied in 1998 for the statute of limitations. The statute of limitations has passed and no charges would be able to be filed. Using the current statute we would have some possible options but we are limited to the law as it was at the time of the offense in 1998. As a result we are unable to investigate and seek justice to the full extent of what would we normally would in such a case."

New Zealand secured a third straight Rugby Championship title on Saturday as they out-classed Argentina 34-13 with a try bonus-point in La Plata.
At times it was a joy to watch from the All Blacks as they scored the four tries required to become champions after the Boks won well at Newlands.
They will now travel to Johannesburg for their final fixture while the Pumas continue their wait for the Championship win. The Wallabies will be wary.
Despite the prospect of silverware in the back of their mind, the Kiwis played with all the freedom of a dead rubber as they cut loose against Argentina at times in the first-half, with tries from Ben Smith and Israel Dagg sending them in 20-6 ahead.
Beauden Barrett had opened the scoring on four minutes with a penalty after Brodie Retallick was taken out at line-out time before he added another three-pointer five minutes later. That Pumas ruck offence came after a now customary Julian Savea chip which found space in the opposition 22.
New Zealand were now showing an excellent balance of riding the physical home defence before making them bemused when they found mesmerising skills of the likes of Dagg and wing Smith, the former's run down the right seeing him switch late with the latter for 13-0.
Argentina needed something, anything, to keep their crowd cheering and Nicolás Sánchez's penalty after Dagg was pinged for blocking gave them adequate relief from the onslaught. Had he landed a further shot instead of hitting the post seven minutes later, hope maybe?
As it was the game was instead treated to something special from the world champions as Malakai Fekitoa's pass to Ben Smith on the right wing saw him give a no-look pass to Dagg who went over for a try of his own. The favour had been returned by the devastating duo.
New Zealand now knew they were halfway from claiming the Rugby Championship trophy in La Plata, a week earlier than last season. But with the scoreline at 20-6 following a Sánchez penalty after Richie McCaw had swung around a ruck illegally, the result wasn't yet sealed.
The second-half would prove though that the All Blacks were confident the tries would come as they turned down shots in favour of those five-pointers. However, their gamble would not pay off in the opening twelve minutes of the half as Argentina stood firm close to their line.
Julian Savea came closest to breaking the mini-deadlock on 55 minutes when he collected Barrett's intelligent chip over in the opposition 22. But, for the second time, he was denied due to being marginally offside. One sensed though the Pumas weren't out of the woods.
And that would prove to be the case as Aaron Smith's long, flat pass to the left found the powerful finisher who saw off three defenders for what was their third try. Barrett's simple extras made it 27-6 with just over 20 minutes left at Estadio Único Ciudad de La Plata.
Steve Hansen still wanted one final try though and after a period of defending in their own 22, his men attacked through Jerome Kaino showing searing pace before Savea combined with TJ Perenara as the replacement scrum-half dived over for the tournament-sealing try.
But the Pumas would have the final say as a lovely counter attack led to Juan Martín Fernández Lobbe offloading to another substitute, Horacio Agulla, for their only try.
Man of the match: Early on it was the Israel Dagg and Ben Smith show but for his all round performance, Jerome Kaino gets this gong. What a specimen. Malakai Fekitoa also shone.
The scorers:
For Argentina:
Try: Agulla
Con: Gonzalez Iglesias
Pen: Sánchez 2
For New Zealand:
Tries: B Smith, Dagg, Savea, Perenara

Authority on public health and consumer protection, Dr. Len Horowitz touched on a variety of topics including the dangers of vaccines, methods of natural healing, and how a spiritual renaissance is changing medicine. He also discussed the "Illuminati" plan to reduce the world population, and the Denver Airport murals, which he said symbolically depict the New World Order agenda.
Hororwitz suggested that 528 hertz is a healing frequency that can help people relax and breathe better. "In musicology, it's actually called ecstatic listening...and all of nature is celebrating that frequency of 528 hertz...It is the heart of the universe," he commented.
Regarding natural remedies, he advocated a five-step process to combat disease: detoxification, alkalinization, boosting the immune system, oxygenation, and bio-energizing. The last step can be accomplished through prayer, sound, color, frequency, resonance, or music-- "this creates an energy of spirituality that is impregnable...against infectious diseases," he stated. He also recommended OxySilver for eliminating infections, and hydrosonics-- water resonating at a certain frequency, for healing.
Halloween & Witchcraft
First hour guest, witchcraft expert Fiona Horne talked about Halloween's connection to the ancient Celtic festival of Samhain, which is a time to contemplate the dead, and look at the seeds you are sowing in your life. She also shared tips on how to create a do-it-yourself seance, which involved placing nine candles in a circle, then an item of a deceased loved one inside the circle. Horne will be appearing at Halloween event in North Hollywood on the 31st.

HS Football
Cougars Topple Lancers 28-14
What a difference a week makes, especially when it's a bye week.
The Spanish Springs Cougars have a deceiving 4-3 record. Friday night they showed why they might be the dark horse favorite in the High Desert League regular season race. Coming into the game, their reputation had been they could only pass the ball. With a trio or running backs, Parker Luthy, Jonny Lee and Colby Preston, plus quarterback, Tristan Szabo, they ran for a combined 116 yards (unofficially). Luthy had a 10 yard run for a score, and Szabo got the opening touchdown on a six yard run to complete an 11 play 70 yard opening drive. Szabo also spread the ball around, passing for 163 (unofficially). The combination was just enough to keep the McQueen defense guessing.
For the second week in a row, the Lancers' running game was anemic. In their first six games they averaged 297 yards rushing. Against SSHS they had an unofficial 58. JD Kolb, the second leading running back in the 4A, came into the game with 175 yards per outing, but he was held to 61. Although Dominique Stallworth threw for 129 yards on 15 of 33, he was scrambling all night long. He connected on a 3 yard pass to Ryan Porter to tie the game at 7, and hit a wide open Brenden Stevenson on a 20 yard strike for another score.
Szabo had a stellar performance going 19 for 30 passing (63%) with 2 touchdown passes and no interceptions. Ten of his completions were to Jackson Laduke and Jordan Dudick, who each caught five.
The difference in the game was the Cougar defense. They had three interceptions and just would not let McQueen develop any offensive flow.
Next week McQueen gets a bye, and hopefully can get everyone healthy for a home game on October 19 against Hug. For Spanish Springs next week they will be on the road against the Hug Hawks.
Our video recap of the McQueen vs Spanish Springs game is below.

Here's How A Fort Collins Residential Painter Can Increase Your Home Value
When it comes to selling your home, you always want to get the most out of the sale. But that can be a lot harder to do than you might imagine, especially if your home is in desperate need of updates or repairs. Changing the structure of your home with renovations or major repairs such as roofing structure replacements can be costly and leave you feeling like you've negated any additional value you might have incurred with a costly repair. At Noble Painting, we believe that there are easy ways to improve the value of your home without spending a ton of money in the process. Our Fort Collins painters add value to local homes by providing experience and skill, as well as top quality products, for each interior or exterior painting project.
If you've been thinking about selling your home in Fort Collins, or you just want to increase the beauty of your home in the most affordable way, here are some of the reasons that you should book a Spring painting project with us!
Increasing Home Value
You most likely want to paint your home for the same reason that thousands of homeowners choose to start an exterior or interior painting project with us: You want to increase the value of your property before a sale. In this case, you need to make sure that you are using an experienced local painter with the right skills and credentials for your project. After all, you don't want to decrease the value of your home with a bad paint job that begins to peel over time or uses garish colors that make it harder to sell your home in the long term.
A fresh paint job allows potential buyers to not only see that you care about a space, but to imagine the home as a newly built model, ready for them to add their own marks and sense of style. Additionally, you can increase your personal value in the property by making it feel as if you've upgraded your home through a new paint job and some updated furniture.
Curb Appeal
Increasing home value means increasing the curb appeal. Whether your home is along a street or front and center on the corner, your curb appeal is going to matter to the entire neighborhood. Think of it this way: you want to move into a new home, which has been expertly kept and newly remodeled. Now imagine this same house on a street where the adjoining properties are overgrown, outdated and in need of repairs, or even completely uninhabited and abandoned. All of a sudden, the appeal of the property goes down because nearby homes do not have good curb appeal.
Curb appeal doesn't always mean completely repainting the exterior of your home. You can add curb appeal with landscaping and accent painting, such as doors and window frames, rather than just updating the exterior paint.
First Impressions
Your home and the way that you care for it says a lot about you as a person. While there's nothing wrong with a home that needs a little TLC and some cleaning, you don't want someone to see your home for the first time and get the vibe that your house is falling apart due to some peeling paint and rust. Just like we try to make our own first impressions count by dressing our best and looking as clean as possible, we need to do the same for our homes in order to improve value, as well as giving a better first impression.
Stand Out From The Crowd
If you live on a street of cracker box houses that all look just the same, you might be looking for a way to stand out from your neighbors without drawing a lot of attention to yourself. Consider updating the exterior colors of your home, including choosing an accent color that defines the best features of your home and your property. You don't need to go far out of your way to find a look for your home that really brings out your style, without detracting from the neighborhood curb appeal.
Start Your Fort Collins Home Painting Here
Starting a new painting project for your home can seem like a chore, but it is easier than you think with the right Fort Collins painting contractors. Check out the full list of valuable, quality painting solutions that we offer in Fort Collins and beyond at https://noblepaintco.com.

In his own words: Martin Barras reviews stage 3 at Energiewacht TourSat 11 Apr 2015
Former Australian champion Gracie Elvin has rounded out the top ten at the Energiewacht Tour on the third stage in Stadskanaal.
For the first time this week, the Dutch weather threw some curveballs at racing with wind and rain promising to do it's best to break up the peloton unlike the previous two road stages that have resulted in big bunch sprints.
And it delivered.
The third stage was won by Kirsten Wild (Hitec Products) from a breakaway of eight. Earlier in the day, the break was 12-riders strong, including ORICA-AIS' Melissa Hoskins, but the 24-year-old was one of three riders who lost touch coming into the finishing circuit.
Sport director Martin Barras gives us his report on the day's racing:
Different people like different things. I like Dutch racing (although I hated it as a rider, but that is a whole different story). Yesterday I had promised the girls that 'the fun starts tomorrow'.
I did not lie!
The course had us starting in our host town, StadsKanaal, right on the canal itself, and head out through to next town where it veered north briefly to follow another canal. From there on it went through the farmers fields onto the dijks that Holland is so famous for: a narrow path up above the fields. Always exposed to the wind!
The weather lived up to the billing to: winds of 35 km/h with gusts up to 50 km/h guaranteed that the bunch would be under pressure from the gun. Add rain after the first hour of racing and dropping air temperature and you had the makings of a classic.
The field split into four groups as soon as we hit the second canal. 12riders were off the front and we had Melissa Hoskins making that group. The collaboration was good and soon this front group was out to 1 ½ minutes.
Behind, the three groups left reformed and the resulting bunch got organised with many teams now chasing a front group in which they were either excluded or under-represented in.
At kilometre 30 this chase took on more impetus and a slimmer 16rider chase group was formed. Loes Gunnewijk and Gracie Elvin made it and were working hard to close the gap.
After another 30km of chasing, the gap was reduced to 15seconds. By then many teams took their riders off the chase, instead choosing to try to launch those riders across the gap to improve their odds. This failed miserably for all concerned, as all solo attempts across this gap detonated without a sound in the howling wind and the chase fell apart and started going backwards. Day done for all except the front girls.
Meanwhile, at the front, Mel was busy riding with the group, to keep herself out of trouble. Unfortunately, a few girls started sitting which prompted Boels Dolmans to use their numeric superiority in the break to "put it in the gutter" and shell a few riders: Mel was one of those.
The eight survivors made it together to the finish and Kirsten Wild (Hitec Products) won the day.
For us it was a lesson in fighting for your position. The 'good' news is, we race again tomorrow, on the Island of Borkum, in conditions essentially similar to todays (except it will be dry). This will provide the opportunity to amend our racing!
Until then,
Martin Barras.

Family: SC College Student Died Choking On Pizza
Coroner: Student Having Problems Breathing Beforehand
The Spartanburg County, S.C., Coroner's Officer is investigating the death of a Wofford College student early Saturday morning.
Deputy Coroner Randy Bogan said Randall George Heffron Jr., 20, of Charleston, was pronounced dead at 1:11 a.m.
Family members say he was eating pizza with friends in the dorm and starting choking. He went to the bathroom, but when he didn't return his friends went to the bathroom and found him unresponsive.
Heffron was rushed to Spartanburg Regional by emergency medical service personnel.
Wofford College spokeswoman Laura Corbin released a statement from the school regarding Heffron's death.
"The Wofford campus family is saddened by this tragic and untimely death," President Benjamin B. Dunlap said. "Randall was well-loved and respected by his fellow tennis players, his friends and classmates. He will be greatly missed. Our deepest sympathies are with his family, especially his brother, Walker Heffron, a freshman here at Wofford."
Richard Johnson, director of athletics, added, "Our thoughts, prayers and concerns are with Randall's mother, brother, family, and the Wofford men's tennis team led by Coach Rod Ray."
"We must wait for the coroner's report but indications from the doctor was that he had an obstructed airway, apparently from food," Corbin said.
The cause and manner of death are pending results of an autopsy and toxicology test.

Mindfulness VideosIt seems like "instant" and "mindfulness" should not go together. But the purpose of practicing Mindfulness is so that ultimately, no matter what happens in your life, you have a way to become grounded. It can help you to break your state of mind, which is the first step to "wise mind."
Most of the videos are mine (except as posted) and I will continue to add more when they are ready.

Oleuropein Reduces Cisplatin-Induced Nephrotoxicity in Human Embryonic Renal Epithelial "GP-293" Cells
Background and Aim:The protective effect of oleuropein,a chief polyphenol compound in olive tree, on cisplatin-induced nephrotoxicity in human cultured renal tubular cells, GP-293, was investigated.
Materials and Methods:Cell viability was determined by the MTT assay. Cleaved caspase-3 and Bax: Bcl2 ratioas biochemical parameters of cellular apoptosis, was assessed using western blot analysis.
Results:Our data showed that cisplatin in the dose of 55µg/ml significantly can reduced cell viability, increased caspase-3 activation and Bax: Bcl2 ratio in GP-293 cells after 24hr. Incubation of the cisplatin treated cells, with 20μg/ml oleuropein decreased the cisplatin-induced cell toxicity, as well as prevented caspase-3 activation and reduced Bax: Bcl2 elevation ratio.
Conclusions: Oleuropein protects against cisplatin-induced cellular toxicity. This could be associated with the prevention of cellular apoptosis

(Update: Rates are coming down on Thursday so it appears Bernanke or someone IS coming in trying to save the markets. It is now possible we could see the markets start to consolidate and stay flat….we could sit in Neutral. Volume is low. We are seeing Lower Highs. We are bumping up against the 50 day moving average. I suggest following the advice below.)
I suggest selling anything where you have a profit….while we are in this short covering rally.
(For now I am keeping DLTNX and LNCO and gold and Master Limited Partnerships)
This is a stop gap measure to reduce the potential for big losses……the markets look weak. Long term momentum is down. The ten year Treasury rates are not coming down quickly: today at 2.56. I want to take my profits or at least sell at break even and get out of Dodge…….you can always buy back in if we see a turn around.
For right now only selling positions where there is a profit. If the market really starts to tank, additional selling will have to be evaluated……meaning selling at a loss.
It is possible that Bernanke will come in and try to save the day but I'm not going to sit around "a hopin and a prayin". There is the potential for an additional 10% decline here.
This is a good time to look at individual bonds, individual corporate bonds. I do think DLTNX is a buy here. Click Here.
In summary, high interest rates are not good for stocks. We have to see the rates coming down to see the stock market going up.
Go to "HOME" (top of page) for the most current posts. (Please respond to POLL Click Here) This blog discusses dividend paying investments that I find appropriate for myself…..and for investors seeking dividends and income. I am not an investment professional. You must do your own research before buying any position. All gains or losses that you realize are based on your choices.

I am a still pool of water
stagnant and slowly turning green:
I've forgotten
how to be.
The rainfall
doesn't help,
I need an earthquake
to rip the ground open
to release me,
to let me
travel free.
How do I find
the strength
to break
what I thought couldn't be broken?
Where do I find
the trigger
to release
the silenced pressure
of being?
Is it courage
we are lacking here?
The silences

Almost a third (30 per cent) of Brits who have been engaged within the last 10 years don't feel that it's important for men to ask their father-in-law to-be for his daughter's hand in marriage
What comes to mind when you think of a traditional wedding proposal?
You might imagine your partner asking for your father's permission, and a glittering diamond ring that costs up to three months salary. But these standards are dying out, as new research reveals almost a third (30 per cent) of Brits don't think it's important for men to ask their father-in-law to-be for his daughter's hand in marriage.
Traditions are being broken by women too; more than one in 10 (13 per cent) women who were engaged within the last 10 years contributed financially towards their dream engagement ring.
Joanne "I was stuck with my head down the toilet and, in between vomiting, he came in and asked if we should get married. He didn't ask my father's permission and he didn't have a ring either. I was definitely a bit let down because no one dreams of being proposed to while they're vomiting. My dream proposal would have been probably on a blanket under the stars after a nice picnic… So pretty different to the one that I got!"
