Stag Do Activities
Midlands -
Team Building Exercises or Corporate Away Days are important not simply for the euphoric feeling of the immediate experience or the 'Thank You' that the action of taking your team out for the day shows ten times over what an email saying 'thanks' could do. Team building is also an exceptional way to get a team working together, for group skills, communication, bonding and of course a healthy serving of inter-team competition!
The activity itself is really the vehicle that provides a means to an end- a high-impact learning experience. But choosing your activity as one that is belly-aching-laugh good fun is definitely an advantage for the longevity status of the memory for your team. An activity where everyone has the opportunity to shine rather than just the sport-Billy-Ironman-Triathlete or the employee with the IQ of 130 is a must to ensure everyone joins in and nobody feels embarrassed by their performance.
The away-day, cut back to basics, helps groups to break down political barriers, put aside personal differences, take away distractions- emails, computers, phone and Facebook, and simply have some fun.

Wealthy gay porn producer Michael Lucas has successfully pressured New York City's LGBT Center to renege on its agreement to host a "Party to End Apartheid" on Israeli Apartheid Week. Lucas threatened to boycott the center and pressure its donors to pull their money out. He called the event an "anti-Semitic" affair held by a "hate group." It seems that money talks, because I doubt that a progressive institution like the LGBT Center would have otherwise responded to an open bigot like Lucas who has used ethnically cleansed Palestinian villages as sets for sex scenes.
Israeli gay porn actor Jonathan Agassi describes his sex scene inside an ethnically cleansed Palestinian village in Michael Lucas's "Men of Israel"
Lucas, who leads gay tours to Israel to promote the country's supposedly tolerant gay culture, has celebrated fellow porn producer Charles Merrill's public burning of a Qu'ran, calling it an act of "artistic bravery." Last year, he joined the Islamophobic bandwagon in calling the Cordoba Initiative's plan to build an Islamic community center near Ground Zero part of a covert plot to install Shariah law in the United States — he described the proposed center as a "monument to Muslim terrorism." A laundry list of racist statements by Lucas would be so long it is impossible to compile (for more, see here); it is enough to note that his political views are defined by crude resentment of Muslims, the fetishization of an Israel that does not exist, and little else.
What is more remarkable about Lucas is the way in which he has fused extreme Zionism with homoeroticism in his films. His most widely promoted film, "Men of Israel," contains a sex scene inside a Palestinian village that was ethnically cleansed by Zionist militias in 1947-48. Lucas describes the scene here (NSFW), deceptively stating that the village was "deserted centuries ago:"
…we went to an abandoned village just north of Jerusalem. It was a beautiful ancient township that had been deserted centuries ago…however, that did not stop our guys from mounting each other and trying to repopulate it. Biology may not be the lesson of the day but these men shot their seeds all over the village.
But again to get to the point of pleasure we had no easy task to tackle. We had to break down carefully replace the metal barrier guarding us from entering the village and hike up the treacherous mountain that was lined with barbed wire and dense torn bushes.
Never to miss a beat, the Israeli media was there to document and run a broadcast profile on our filming. Channel 1 Israel, the oldest and longest running public television station in the country, interviewed the cast and embraced our excursion Inside Israel!
Lucas does not name the village where the scene was shot, but my guess is it was Lifta, which was attacked by Zionist militias in December 1947 (five months before any Arab armies entered Palestine), bombed, and ethnically cleansed. Today, the ruins of the village are well preserved — so well that the Jerusalem municipality plans to transform it into a Jews-only luxury development.
It is not hard to imagine what would happen to an Arab porn director if he went to a site of Jewish genocide like a destroyed shtetl from the Pale of Settlement or a concentration camp, and filmed actors as they "shot their seeds" on it. Yet Lucas profits from desecration porn, and maintains enough cachet to bully a major gay institution in New York City.

WASHINGTON – Fairfax County Police have released a new composite sketch of a suspected serial groper in the Springfield area.
Police released the sketch at the same time they announced a possible 18th incident that occurred in the 6600 block of Grey Fox Drive in Springfield Feb. 6 shortly after 5 p.m.
A 21-year-old woman told police she had been walking alone when the suspect approached her from behind, grabbed her buttocks and fled.
The victim was not injured.
The suspect was described as white or possibly Hispanic, 5-feet-6-inches to 5- feet-8-inches tall, and approximately 180 pounds. He was wearing a gray T-shirt with blue sleeves, dark sweatpants, white sneakers and a cloth partially covering his face.
The sketch also shows the suspect who may be involved in two incidents reported on Jan. 30. In both of those cases, the suspect was described as having acne or shaving bumps on his cheeks.

SEX and the SOUTH
So it is 12:53 and I get off at 1..but im cramming in a post...So I saw Sex in the City last night! at 12AM, yea we were pressed...It was BRILLIANT, and you only use brilliant when something is epic.I lashed out a few times in the movie though, my favorite self quote was when Carrie was going back to her and BIG's swanky apartment to get the Manolo's out of that heavenly closet-and they weren't there, I said "o shit, somebody stole the shoes!" (laughter from audience)...yea...a few "WTF" came out too..you will see why once you sit in the theatre. It was a beautiful movie, absolutely STUNNING clothes..I was surprised at how much designer shit I could name, I guess all those dollars wasted on pretending to like Vogue have done me good! The theatre was packed and everyone was dressed up like duh. I was coming from a party so I had on this poofy black Luella dress, with a jean jacket...(lol), a pirates baseball cap u know the one(???lol), and them sparklely silver tennis shoes from urban that have become my trademark, O and I cant forget the vintage frames! (I rarely discuss my wardrobe so bear with me), and some bamboos..everyone was looking at me like WTF? Mind you I live in the durty south (Richmond, VA) and everyone is always like WTF to my awesome wardrobe lol/jk, and in my head I'm like "Bitch do you own Manolo's? no you don't...and neither do I, but i got me some Jessica Simpsons!!!" So that kinda made my day...
I loved this movie, almost more than I loved The Devil Wears Prada, probably more than The Devil Wears Prada..I think I may even buy the DVD--yea i'm cheap like that! If you don't see it, you will totally be out of the "i-pretend-like-i-am-a-fashionista-because-i-know-who-betseyjohnson-is" loop...but was betsey johnson in this movie? no! so maybe u shouldn't see it...lol
hahahahahahahaahahaaaa...ima bitch for that
yay me
God save the Baltimorians!!!!

& the FLASHING LIGHTS saga continues
This has excited me so much! This morning has been officially brightened, regardless of the sun's attitude problem...So this is part II, or like the re-do of video one...So we see girl, who is clearly rich, a model I would assume...right off the bat we can see that she may be a bit of an alchie, considering she makes her egg and toasts with a mixed drink at her side (and its only like 2 pm). So all while she's eating I'm waiting for her to go puke it up..but she never does..then she goes partying, fucks kanye i think (not a bad deal), and then somewhere in there goes down a dark musty alley, drunk as shit and gets mugged and raped--and to think I thought she was buying cocaine...This makes more sense to me, it has everything to do with "she dont believe in shootin stars, but she believes in shoes n cars.." YEP, the party life aint what its cracked up to be type shit...yea right. On a side note it looks like something a VCU art student would make...kudos to kanyeezy

10 things yo mama told you 2 do that u aint do or did do...yea
1. mama always told me, "look both ways before you cross the street"-this may seem like a dumb one to have on here, but hey, this is an important ass rule that most of us do not follow, and how do i know that you don't follow it? Because if you are able to almost get hit by a car on a ONE WAY street then you must not be looking in any direction but straight ahead! The grim reaper seems to be standing right at the one-way street sign waiting for the next dumb young person to step out and get their leg chopped off by an oncoming pepsi truck.
2. mama always told me, "don't get fake nails"- ok ok ok i love my acrylics! i fuckin love them and il cut a bitch if she's resposible for breaking one of my precious lime green tipped beauties, but once they come off, my real nails are in absolute shambles! aaaaah! Mama knew what she was talking about when she said once you get them you can't stop...if I would have never gotten them, I could save 13 dollars every 2 weeks for a fill in...
3. mama always told me, "don't drink and drive"- now I don't drive period, so this doesn't go out to me, but seriously folks, I thought the cops taught you this too...who really wants a DUI? You do my drunken friend, you most certainly do! Don't die off of that tequila son, what would we do next weekend without your car? lol
4. mama always told me, "don't eat after 9pm"- and to think I laughed at this rule...now I sit here wondering why my trues fit me a little snug and why my little jean mini makes my ass look like it should be sliding upside down on a metal pole screaming for one dollar bills...and i soo dont do one dollar bills...its all about them quarters shawty
5. mama always told me, "don't accept gifts from boys, cuz they will want something in return"-"oh mom he doesn't want anything from me, Johnny Appleseed loves me!!!" How dumb and naive we were to think that Mr. Appleseed only had apples on his mind....hmmm...so J. Appleseed gets you that nice ass Gucci shit that is the must-have for the summer, and you think to yourself, he's perfect! he buys me Gucci blah blah blah...and then you get in that bedroom and you feel obligated to give it up because he bought you Gucci blah blah blah...mama knew you couldn't put a price on the pussy, cuz it doesn't have the same net worth as a Gucci...it's worth a Chanel, everyone knows that...lol
6. mama always told me, "don't put pictures of yourself on the internet"- I'm just going to put this message that I just received via myspace up...I got this message probably as a result of my pictures...and I'm not even naked in them lol...
"hey sweetie i aint tryna holla at you or anything but im throwin this pool party in a lil bit and i was wonderin if i sent you a invite would you show your face cause i need all the good lookin woman i can get lol but hit me up if you wit it and ill remeber to hit you with the info aight"
so apparently my pics make me look like the most dumbest bitch in the universe, right? can we say delete? nigga I dont know you and you can't even spell remember correctly...NEXT!
7. mama always told me, "count down the days to your period"-hahahahaha, I know half of us don't count, if anything, you let the birth control count for you, and you find yourself having a perfectly great day in the middle of nowhere and all of a sudden the imaginary clouds come in, rain pours, you get a killer attitude, a sharp pain in your abdomen, and you have to rush to a port-a-potty to get a unexplainable amount of tissue and then make up some lie about "allergies" or a "headache" to get to a rite aide as soon as possible...cheaaaa
8. mama always told me, "don't listen to your fava (dad) he's on crack..."- So the man probably was not on crack, but didn't your mother act like he had some undercover addiction to something and that even if he said the sky was blue (which it is), he would be wrong about it because its actually "sky blue"...lol. Well I listened to him, too well, and where did I find myself? In an anonymous living room smoking a j at 4am with 3 other people discussing world politics and how global warming effects your sex drive...what? yea? Thanks dad, your responsible for every good time I have in college that mom didn't want me to have! lol
9. mama always told me, "don't tell the white people that you get spankings..."-or they'll take your ass away, which is why I'm currently living in a group home in Alabama with my step siblings Mary and Bobby...lol, naw, but I did tell my mom I was going to call child services on her when I learned about it at school in like Grade 1...and as a result I got another spanking...lmao
10. mama always told me, "don't lie!"- this is a biggie. I probably lie at least once a day, thank God it's not one of the 10 Commandments-or is it?-i havent checked Exodus lately...but yeah, white lies, black lies, pink lies, rainbow lies..shit we all lie, all the damn time...and it gets us into trouble, and eventually we don't even know what the truth is ourselves-cuz we lie to ourselves..now isn't that deep? yea...i thought so...food for thought

beyond the cotton field & new amerykah
So apparently Queenie is still undergoing issues with negros (i will be nice) commenting. You CLEARLY hit up the blog because I can see it on my stats...so take the extra mili-second in your lazy computer/television based life to comment...geeez...u know its all in love.
This past Sunday I had the glorious oppertunity to see Erykah BAdu perform...which left me inspired like shit...heres the result--u be the judge
and dennis i got u
beyond the cotton field
by me...
" i see the light, the realization of the fight and the actual consideration of what is true and what is false..i can c the city in the distance"-kimberly exum, technicolor dreams
i quote myself because i aim to b brillant
i couldnt tell u if this was the beginning of my peace
because i began back in '88
and it was then-when my eyes began to open
-and my ears first heard the truth and lie
---rub the sleep out; pull the wax out
i got hella Q-tips
to clean away negative energy so i wont let my dreams slip
just tryna get my cake up
so i can board this spaceship
spittin so much truths and knowledge
that i got nighas doin backflips
dont care about ur rocks and ur dumb ass benz whip
cuz my city will b built based on the words that my lips spit
leavin bitches speechless
cuz my pen leaks golden ink-wells of philosophy
and sometimes gossip
(& then we breathe...)
sighing to the most high
singing just to get by
so we get high
and we puff lye
so we dont believe lies
cut the trees down and put em to good use
aids against the struggle
and the abuse and the disease
and the plagues and the global warming
alarm is ringing--its a universal warning//
& u wander in a daze through a maze
of confusion
of greenery that was built to serve as an illusion
to keep u from becomming a god, not the worshiping kind--a state of mind
and when u fnd yourself finally sittin pretty there in the heavenlies
they strategically tear the wall down brick by brick stone by stone--
til there is only a fragment--not demolished but a fragment--
"when niggas turn into gods walls come tumbling____"-badu
yeyo yeyo yeyo
mother mother mother
i cry out to the earth
craddling the dirt in between my fingers as i lay open to what is to come
she dismisses the bad things that i have done
the cotton that i settled to pick2 make otha folk rich..
her & i become one
as i advance
no one knows who i am but me
i am keiths daughter>discovering that the cerebellum is hereditary via mah daddys seed> even though mama raised me
these are mah truths
what r urs?
continuous jam sessions
thinking beyond the cotton field
(and we breathe...)
humdi lila allah jehova
yaweh dios ma'ad jah
rastafara fya
dance sex music hip hop
only the telephone can make me sleep
when it calls me home
yal dont feel me though
the song she didnt sing all the way...

Good N' Bad Hair
Last night in my drunkeness I had the strange revelation to let my hair grow natural. Hmmm? There was this girl there, I forgot her name, but i just loved the way her hair just was straightly poofed-yes i've coined a new phrase- maybe it was me being drunk, or maybe deep down somewhere inside this semi-petite light skin body of mine, i really want to be one of those curly headed, i-dont-give-a-fudge-about-anything-but-my-culture-divas...and maybe i am making a stereotype, but hey, I admire the hunnies. As a black female, a black light skin female (in which i am very proud to be) I have always been associated with the light skin/long hair complex bullshit, which is one of the reasons why I chopped all my shit off, to escape the dumbness surrounding black beauty--shit im still beautiful, hair long or short. This all got me to thinking-short and long hair, kinky and straight, good and bad...so on and so on and so on. A very specific scene from Spike Lee's School Daze comes to mind, and of course im gonna use my handy dandy youtube to show it to you. Enjoy!
im so learning this dance...o im serious. THEY BETTA DANCE..enough of the performance major tangent...i don't know if im tired of being that girl who covers her hair because its raining, or sits on the side of the pool because I just got a fresh perm, or hold back in rehearsal because im not tryna sweat it out...hmmm...there is more to life than hair...but then again hair is life...think about it

My Neck, My Back--a hip hop classic?
Attack of the female MC's!!!!! run for your lives! Lawd knows I love a good cat fight and a good female MC. And even though I'm a die hard Lil' Kim fan, I am officially on Khia...she is too much! I gotta love it and so should you. So first of all if anyone watches Miss Rap Supreme, which you should, you already know that Khia got eliminated for basically plagiarizing herself. When I was watching the show I was really appalled to see an already "established" artist on it (if you can call "my neck, my,back" established)...but if it was for publicity she definitely got it, because now I'm all ears. She had a outward beef with Janet, aka the queen of everything, Jackie-O, Deelishis (from Flava of Love), Trina, and the entire cast of Miss Rap Supreme. She even got a song with Trina's ex Lil' Wayne...gotta hear that right? O this bish goes hard? lmao...but aint nobody tryna go DeathRow though? aint nobody tryna go east coast west coast though? no?....good...so here's the distrack...lmao
i would post trina and jackie-o's comebacks,but i feel as though they fell short cuz Khia's ish is definitely funnier than theres...and you can youtube her too, which shouldn't be a surprise because you can youtube just about anything these days (i'm probably on youtube and I don't even know it. Watch as she rambles on and on...AND ON in her hard core southern accent about how "my neck, my back" reached millions of people, cured AIDS, found the solution to homelessness and world hunger, and of course stopped global warming AND how her label Nasti Music (or something like that) has discovered the answer to world peace and arrested osama bin laden...more on Khia and her struggle to save mankind later...hee hee hee hee...and in reference to that picture, if her stomach is really that flat I should jump off of a cliff..there you have it, Khia ladies and gents!

the cool kids/the bake sale
you know i got a little thing for mikey rocks...yessir, he is certainly a cutie, but i have an even bigger thing for his music. i love the cool kids, they take me back to those days when i used to sip lemonade in the shade while watching menace II society on the tv in the kitchen (sigh). Well they are finally coming out with something new and hot and real appropriately titled "THe Bake Sale". Below is a quote from XXL, our hip hop bible, well at least the new testament...
In the spirit of dookie links and four-finger rings, the Cool Kids are at the forefront of the old-school hip hop revival. "When I was three, my Dad made me memorize Paid In Full. He wanted to make my Mom mad," says 23-year-old Chuck Inglish, one half of the Midwestern duo. "I grew up idolizing that imagery. When I was little, I wanted to be that album cover."
Hailing for the suburbs of Detroit and Chicago respectively, Chuck and partner Mikey Rocks met on Myspace two years ago. "I was just flippin' through pages, and I ran across his [beats]," says Mikey, 19. "I really hadn't heard too much like that before. We were gonna start a project where we were both producing and get a bunch of artists to jump on the mixtape, but then I [started] rapping, and he was like, "Man, that's dope!" Mikey had been rhyming since the age of nine, but Chuck, who was strictly a beatmaker, didn't start penning verses until he met his new partner. Their mutual appreciation of Slick Rick and EPMD, as well as new-schoolers like Nas, Biggie and 'Pac, made for a perfect match, and the Cool Kids were born.
In their short time together, the Cool Kids have recorded and released several songs online, including "88", "I Rock", and their ode to BMX riding, "Black Mags." Their stripped-down, synth-heavy joints have been flying all over the net, earning them a loyal following. "There's a lot more ungangsta niggas than there are gangstas", says Chuck. "The media wants you to believe that Black people don't grow up regular or have parents with money. Get the fuck outta here!"
Among countless other like-minded individuals, the Kids have been embraced by hipster DJs like Flosstradamus, Diplo and Kanye West's mixmaster, DJ A-Trak, who have been blasting the crew's throwback music worldwide. In January, the Cool Kids plan to release their first EP, The Bake Sale, on C.A.K.E. Recordings/Chocolate Industries, followed by a full-length LP later in the year. "We just trying to be ourselves,", says Chuck, "You gotta go backwards to go forwards." Check out their melody."

So I've decided that the title of this blog is the name of my first hip hop neo soul rap album that i will probably never make. lol. Anyway, I've been on my sick bed for a few days now, "sick wit the strep" (the title of my first song lol). I just want to put you all onto something fabulous that I have had the pleasure of discovering (drumroll please) (medevil trumpet sound) (beatboxing white rapper sound)...its called FotoFlexer and its on Facebook. Yay! Its like a bootleg photoshop, for all us people who can't afford photoshop. I swear I've been foolin' mad people with my pictures. I'm like a FotoFlexer expert forreal, if I got my hands on photoshop I probably have a seisure from all the excitement of the new features. So be creative and shit...
I've decided that since my concubines have abandoned poor queenie that I'd just write about whatever the hell I want to...For example...i was watching MTV last night, while hacking up an unheard of amount of diseased mucous, when my hacking was interupted by a temper tantrum by a dramatic gay high school student (the best combination) on MTV's The Paper.
soo as a result of this i was hacking up mucous and laughing hysterically...all of this over a column that some staff member shouldnt have had in the first place...muahhahahahaha...and of course the black girl made the smart ass comment that set him on his path to sadness lmao lmao lmao, how i love MTV! I'm so quoting this kid on my Facebook...well I have to get back to being sick and watching Rachel Ray roast a chicken and play truth or dare with Gail, (yes oprah's bestie)..even though I'm sick I remain hungry. Peaces.(cough cough HACK)

Simple Living
Ok, so maybe i did steal this picture from another blog? Who cares, no one reads this one... So I found this to be very very interesting. We all know about the problem in Darfur and how tree-huggers, anti-war, anti-bush, and every celebrity alive today is so INTO the Darfur thing, right? right. If you look at the picture you can clearly see the statement being made, unless you're just too litteral to function.
So as a result of this moving statement, Louis Vuitton is suing the artist, Nadia Plesner...hmmmm...I wonder why? Is it because we as Americans take material items way too seriously when there is a effin problem for humanity going on in another country?
For the record the LV bag is clearly fake...so why even sue? dumbness if u ask me...to get the poster or the shirt go to www.nadiaplesner.com...cop that shit!

im back bitches...
Now i don't know about the rest of the crew ( i.e. dom and clive), but Kimmie E is back at Queenie V. I apologize for the hiatus. This semester has been a trying one, i watched while my friends filled themselves up with dosages of adderall, memory pills, big red gum, and starbucks iced coffee. I was there when the library decided when it was going to stay open for unheard of amounts of time and when the dorms assumed that everyone was O.K. with being silent for an entire week. I was even there when the cafeteria decided that it would give out free ihop tasting breakfast all night long--for FREE! O the beauties of collegiate life! Since I've been away, Facebook has developed a chatting system, Obama is behind Hilary, the ice caps have continued to melt, and the city officials in the fair city of Richmond have told us not to drink the water from the tap...boo! All of this creates the perfect set up for summer!
My summer began yesterday at around 9:50 a.m. (after my last exam). I of course began the summer "break" with a long ass nap, a big healthy helping of 4 cheese nachos at Qdoba, and then proceeded to aide in my suicide by dancing non-stop for about 6 hours for around the same pay an Indian child makes working in a Nike sweatshop. O Glorious summer "BREAK"! Besides summer not really being a break anymore, there are a few highlights....
1. NO MORE FRESHMEN..all the freshies go back home to their mommies and daddies and its great. For some reason the entire freshman race (give or take a few) seems to annoy the shit out of me. They are soooo extra? yes extra! and now their all moving out of their little freshman dormitories and packing all their little freshman shit in their little freshman cars. I can't believe I was ever one...at least next year they'll be sophomores and I'll be able to befriend them. lmfao
2. Money is the shit. It is. You can't tell me any different. In the beginning God created the seasons, and within the initial 3 seasons he inserted a 4th, and named it summer- a time where niggas can sweat their asses off and can get a chance to explore the glories of gaining the almighty dollar! All summer "BREAK" is, is a time to get a mova effin job sons and daughters...so get ya cake up, and don't spend it all on one weed man!
Damn, summer only has two highlights..HA! If you have any additions comment and add them on, but I know you won't cuz none of yal biotches comment! lmfao rofl lol brb ttyl ttfn..heehee

Courtesy of Bob Vazquez, Assistant Athletic Director:
Northridge, Calif. – No one would ever argue who is the greatest head coach in the 55-year history of Matador Athletics … Pete Accardy.
During his illustrious 24-year career as head coach of the Cal State Northridge men's swim team, and 15 seasons as head coach of the CSUN women's swim team, Accardy coached the Matadors to a record 13 NCAA team titles, which is still a collegiate record. Nine national titles (1975, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1984, 1985) were recorded by the CSUN men's swim team. Another four NCAA crowns (1982, 1987, 1988, 1989) were won on the women's side. The Matador men's and women's swim teams also gained runner-up honors eight times.
Accardy became the first coach in NCAA history to win national championships in the same season in two sports in 1982.
Accardy, who was 72-years-old, passed away on July 13 from cancer in Del Mar, Ca.
Accardy's survivors include his wife (Barbara), son (Lee Michael Accardy), his daughter-in-law (Leslie Accardy), and two grandsons (Matthew and Kyle).
Services are pending. Pete Accardy will be buried next to his mother (Ruth Foster Accardy) at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Los Angeles.
Condolences can be sent to …

Accardy coached more than 300 NCAA Division II All-Americans at Cal State Northridge and compiled unmatchable dual meet records of 286-62 on the men's side and 139-28 on the women's side. Accardy's men's teams captured every conference title in the 1970's. The Matador women's teams claimed each conference championship between 1986 and 1991.
The long list of All-Americans included Jeff Kubiak, a member of the CSUN Hall of Fame, the 1985 and 1986 NCAA Division II Swimmer of the Year and a former member of the United States National Team.
With deep admiration, Kubiak once said of Accardy:
"Coach (Accardy) was always upbeat, and as a swimmer I always knew that he cared about all of his athletes. It was an honor to train and compete for him. He loved swimming, and everything he did grew from that love for the sport. I am truly thankful to the (Northridge) program and Pete Accardy. Coach helped me become a world-class swimmer and helped me pursue my career. I am forever indebted."
Michelle Lee Hampton is one of the great female swimmers in Matador history. A 14-time All-American, she set four NCAA records when CSUN won the NCAA title in 1982, and later qualified for the United States Olympic Trials in 1980 and 1984. Her memories of Pete Accardy will never fade. She once said … "I had no college plans until Northridge and coach Pete Accardy made me an offer. It turned out to be the best thing that could have ever happened. We had great success as a team at Northridge and they had a great TV and Communications Department which was going to be my major and my career path."
Bob Hiegert served as CSUN's Athletic Director (1977-95) and head baseball coach of the Matadors from 1967-84. Hiegert and Accardy went to school together and were in the same fraternity. Even after all these years, Hirgert and Accardy remained close friends.
"Pete Accardy was a great friend and a great person to have on the athletic department staff," remembers Hiegert. "You could always count on Pete. The student-athletes on the men's and women's swim teams loved Pete. Not only did Pete develop their talents as individuals, Pete developed strong team concepts. Traditionally, the team peaked at the end of the season in time for the NCAA's. When people talked about the success of John Wooden as a basketball coach and Al Scates as a volleyball coach at UCLA, Pete Accardy's name also was mentioned because of his success as a swim coach."
Accardy's coaching success earned him countless coaching awards including the NCAA Division II Swimming and Diving Coach of the Decade (the 1980's). Accardy was also named NCAA Division II Coach of the Year eight times (five times for men, three times for women).
Accardy, who was inducted into CSUN's Hall of Fame in 1994, graduated from Cal State Northridge with a BA degree in Physical Education. While at CSUN, Accardy was honored as the team MVP for swimming in 1958. Accardy was also a member of CSUN's first basketball team during the 1958-59 campaign.
Accardy also earned a Masters degree in Education from Cal Lutheran University. Accardy also graduated from Reseda High School in 1958 where he competed in swimming and basketball.
When Accardy retired from his coaching duties at Cal State Northridge in 1993, he was the second winningest swim coach in all NCAA divisions (I, II, III) and the fifth winningest coach in NCAA history for all sports in any of the three NCAA divisions (I, II, III).
On the day Accardy retired in 1993, the distinguished coach simply said, "My goal when I came here was to establish a quality program which was nationally recognized. And I think we did that."
Matador Memo …
One of Pete Accardy's hobbies included owning thoroughbred race horses … After retiring from coaching at Cal State Northridge, Accardy and his wife (Barbara) moved from their home in West Hills to Del Mar … Joel Barr served as an assistant for 23 of Accardy's 24 seasons while Joe Weiss served as an assistant coach for 14 years … Accardy was born in Cincinnati, Ohio.

Waiting, by Carol Lynch Williams
Simon & Schuster Books for Young Readers, May, 2012
Reviewed from final copy
I love a good, sad book. A real weepie is all my joy. I'll try to avoid reading them, I'll say, "oh, I'm not really in the mood for reading that," but the truth is, a book that can bring on a nice, cleansing cry is pretty much always up my alley. And you guys, this book is so sad. I lost count of my Kleenex. And, ok, I have a cold, so let's handicap the first 5. There were still at least 5 tear-filled Kleenex by my bedside table when I was done (also, I am a terrible housekeeper. Pity my tidy husband.).
What's so sad? London is grieving the loss of her beloved big brother (older by a year, barely) and best friend, Zach. They grew up as the kids of globe-trotting missionaries, then settled down in Florida, where they met & fell for their first loves at about the same time. Now Zach is dead, under circumstances that don't become totally, horribly clear til nearly page 300, and not only is London at sea without her closest friend, confidant and ally, but her normally loving dad is distant and her mom is somehow both vacant and hostile. It's a terrible burden for a girl who needs her parents so badly, and Williams is good at making us feel both London's gaping loss and at giving us glimpses of the distinct awfulness of losing a child that her parents are suffering.
This story of one kind of life coming to a close and another one — a sadder, more difficult kind of life, but one full of hope, friendship and love, too — beginning is moving and compulsively readable, but it is not particularly literary.

By Koseli.
I'm no scholar, but I feel like one when I read The Paris Review. It features the finest contemporary writers and poets. The latest issue has two feature stories and I loved both. One on the art of poetry by James Fenton and the other on fiction by Roberto Calasso. (Maira Kalman's illustration is also featured!)
It's been a long time since I've delved into poetry but this poem from Geoffrey H. Hartman featured in the latest issues gave me flutters. I want to rifle through our bookshelves, cozy up, and get literary — with a cup of hot chocolate, of course.
Do you memorize poetry? Have a favorite poet, old or new? Is there anything you read that makes you feel particularly smart?
Beautiful image of Issue 56 (from 1973!) found on Reckon.
P.S. — Their Tumblr about made me laugh: For the good writers and good poets, the non-drumbeaters and non-axe grinders. So long as they're good.

According to the federal Center for Sex Offender Management, "the criminal justice system manages most convicted sex offenders with some combination of incarceration, community supervision, and specialized treatment…the majority are released at some point on probation or parole (either following sentencing or after a period of incarceration in prison or jail.) About 60% of offenders managed by the U.S. correctional system are under some form of conditional supervision in the community." [xiii] And many of them want to attend worship and participate in the life of a faith community. In fact, attendance and membership in a local congregation may be encouraged by their treatment provider and parole supervisor, often to cut down on their social isolation.
There are those who believe that a convicted sex offender never belongs in one of our communities. In fact, one of the ministers I interviewed for this manual was quite clear about this: "I told the Board that they could have the minister or the pedophile. Not both." A former Director of Ministry for the UUA, took this position in a 1991 article, "my own bias is this, based on what I know now—that an identified pedophile should not be part of congregational life. They must cease any physical presence." [xiv]
This manual offers information and guidance for congregations wishing to consider including a person with a history (or an accusation) of sexual abuse. This manual also offers resources for inclusion such as a sample Limited Access Agreement. A review of the literature on sex offenders, interviews with congregations that have successfully integrated a convicted sex offender into adult worship and education, and a theological commitment to the dignity and worth of all people, even those that have committed morally repugnant acts, suggest that inclusion is possible. And each congregation faced with this situation will make its own decision about what is right given the particular facts and circumstances.
Peer reviewed literature suggests that, depending on the nature of the offense and assuming successful completion of treatment, most treated sex offenders do not recidivate. As religious communities, we can provide compassion, support, and reconciliation to those who truly have indicated that they have changed and have taken responsibility for their actions. We believe in the healing power of involvement in a spiritual home, and in the words of one affirmation heard in many Unitarian Universalist congregations, "to seek the truth in love and help one another." Sex offenders who have completed prison sentences and mandated treatment as well as registered with the state have according to the court system complied with their punishments. As faith-based communities, we can provide support and compassion with awareness and vigilance so that all are safe as those who have sexually offended return to or join our church community. "A Case Study: A Sex Offender in Church" discusses how one congregation has faced these issues and is follows the list of Resources at the end of this document.
In many ways, the person with a history of sex offenses has the same needs for a faith community as the rest of us. But the sex offender needs more to assure that his involvement doesn't pose risks to the congregation and that standards are in place for protection against false allegations and suspicions. "Such involvement needs to include helping him manage his behavior and not get into situations which in the past led to offences…an offender who truly wishes to participate in the life of the church, who realizes the extent of his crime and the difficulty his presence may cause to survivors, and who is truly committed to a new life will understand and accept the need for the imposition of restrictions…"
But in order to do so safely, we must assure that the convicted sex offender does not have the opportunity in our congregations to re-offend again. This includes avoiding situations where they can be accused falsely. The fact is that a person with a history of sex offense against children should never be allowed to be with children, work with children and youth, or socialize with children at the congregation. No person who has been convicted of, or with an unresolved accusation of, any sexual misconduct can be permitted to be involved in any religious education or youth group activities.
The core response of the congregation to a convicted or accused sex offender is a Limited Access Agreement. This agreement invites the person with a history of sex offenses to participate in certain aspects of congregational life, setting clear boundaries including what the individual will not do. Typically a Limited Access Agreement will specify participation in adult worship services, coffee hour, committee meetings, adult education, all-adult social events, and well-supervised intergenerational events as acceptable. It asks the person to avoid all contact with children on congregation property or congregation-sponsored events. This includes not talking with children, volunteering or chaperoning children's events, including children's religious education classes, talks with children during worship, and children's activities during intergenerational events. It generally requires the person to remain in the presence of an adult who knows their situation at all times when children are present, including in some cases, asking the person to suggest a group of people to act as companions at church events where children may be present. It denies the person access to keys to the building and asks them to avoid being in the building unsupervised when activities involving children are in session, such as nursery school or youth group. The sample Limited Access Agreement that can be modified based on the feedback of the committee and the individual circumstances of the offender, can be found in the Appendix of this document. It includes two introductory paragraphs: one for a person who has been accused of a sexual offense, the other for someone who has been convicted. It's available in check list format as well. The message to the sex offender should be that they are both welcome to participate in adult worship, adult social, and adult educational activities and that they must covenant with the congregation to avoid all contact with children.
Many congregations already have policies on how to deal with disruptive behaviors including
- perceived threats to the safety of other members
- disruption of church activities
- diminishing appeal of the church to its current and potential members
In general, these policies first ask the minister to meet with the offending individual to address the concern. If the behavior continues, the offending individual may be asked to leave the congregation for a period of time, with reasons for suspension and conditions of return made clear. Individuals are generally not excluded from the congregation completely except by agreement of the Board of Trustees and the Minister, who will communicate the decision.
In the words of one policy, we strive "to be an inclusive community, affirming our differences in beliefs, opinions, and life experiences. However, concern for the safety and well-being of the congregation as a whole must be given priority over the privileges and inclusion of the individual. To the degree the disruption compromises the health of this congregation, our actions as a people of faith must reflect this emphasis on security."
If your congregation already has a policy for dealing with disruptive behavior it can be amended to include a section addressing the inclusion of sex offenders as many of the same conditions apply. It is good practice for a congregation to develop a draft of a Limited Access Agreement or check list that can be a template when a situation arises.
There are generally a few ways that the presence of a convicted sex offender becomes known in a congregation. In an ideal world, a person with this background would come to the minister before they started coming to the congregation to discuss limits on their participation. Sex offender treatment specialists often encourage their clients to do just that. One community facing this issue wrote, "The Board's response to this situation would have been made easier if, before becoming so deeply involved in church activities, the individual had approached our church, explained his situation, asked whether there was some arrangement under which he could participate, and then awaited our response."
This is probably not often the case. In some cases, people reveal their backgrounds to the ministers. In other circumstances, another congregant may discover a congregant's history of sexual offenses. Congregants should know that in these cases they should make their concern known to the minister. In other cases, someone may see a familiar name on the sex offender registry. Or, perhaps it becomes known that a long standing member of the congregation has been accused of a sexual offense.

Tom Hiddleston was at the TCA yesterday to promote The Hollow Crown. It's a series of Shakespeare adaptations – Richard II, Henry IV Pt 1, Henry IV Pt 2, Henry V – that aired last year on the BBC and will air in North America on PBS. I can't wait to see it. They're calling it a massive scale production – in relation to the budgets they normally have to work with. It's Shakespeare epic styles. All that beautiful language, the eternal theme of the irresistible, corruptible temptation of power …and done with money!
Anyway, Hiddleston is also featured in the New Hollywood issue of Entertainment Weekly confirming that Loki will NOT be in The Avengers 2.
"Here's the thing: I don't think there's anything else Loki could contribute to The Avengers, narratively. Joss gave me so many wonderful things to do in that first film that we'd only be trying to repeat ourselves, and probably less well in the second one. When I think of all the things I loved as a child, for example, Hans Gruber wasn't in Die Hard 2. And in Indiana Jones, by the time he moved from the Lost Ark to the Temple of Doom, there was a whole new bad guy. I think keeping it fresh and new is good for The Avengers even though it's a shame for me. And let's face it, there's seven or eight of them as it is, and Joss is thinking about adding two more, so the screen's gonna be a busy place. But I had the time of my life on that film. It was the most fun ever."
I like this. I like that he's not trying to make it last forever. I hope it means he won't be showing up year after year at Comic-Con like Johnny Drama because he needs a hit of attention. Or… will he?
Recalled Hiddleston of a sighting recently:
"I was going through the security machines at Heathrow, and the guard's eyes went wide, and he said, 'Oh my God, it's Loki! Then the whole line turned around. It turned into Comic-Con. But I always say, an actor cannot call himself an actor without an audience."
Hiddleston also talked to Entertainment Weekly about his fangirls aren't just limited to civilians. They're celebrities too:
"I met David O. Russell for dinner when he was in London for Silver Linings Playbook. I just wanted to tell him how much I loved the film. And he basically spent an hour telling me why he thinks Midnight in Paris is the greatest film that's been made in the last 20 years, and he insisted on taking a picture because he was such a fan of Fitzgerald. And I wanted to say, 'David, can you please stop? I need to tell you how great your film is!'"
You know what that is?
That's re-tweeting a compliment.
I wish Tom Hiddleston – so talented, such a wonderfully enigmatic actor – didn't feel like he had to retweet compliments like… like… Kellan Lutz.

All-American Assault - AAR 'Cuda
Read how the Trans Am craze began and one dedicated man who built his 'Cuda' back into shape.
Back in 1970, SCCA Trans-Am racing was at a frenzied pitch, and the factories were involved up to their navels. Chrysler Corporation answered the Trans-Am challenge with a pair of new-for-1970 E-bodies. Dodge's version was the aptly named Challenger T/A (for Trans-Am) and Plymouth's AAR Cuda was named for Dan Gurney's All American Racers who campaigned it on the factory's behalf. Both were officially sanctioned efforts with a slew of specialized "standard" equipment to make them legal for the ponycar wars.
The T/As and AARs were powered by a special version of the 340-inch small-block featuring special "T/A"-casting cylinder heads with offset pushrod holes to expedite cylinder-head modifications. They also sported beefier main caps and a one-time-only small-block six-barrel induction system similar to the '69 to '71 440 Six-Pack offerings and were conservatively rated at 290 hp. The special equipment didn't end there. All T/As and AARs came equipped with fiberglass hoods with unique scoops and factory-installed hood pins, and their staggered tire sizes (E60-15s front, G60-15s rear) were a first for an American car. Other features included large front and rear sway bars, a quick-ratio steering box, front disc brakes, rear spoilers (front spoiler optional), and a side-exiting exhaust system. Special graphics also adorned their flanks. These cars were balanced and ran well despite only limited success in the series competing against seasoned Chevy- and Ford-sponsored teams. Sadly, the Trans-Am Mopars were only produced and raced for one year before the effort dried up.
Dave Pany of La Crescenta, California, is the owner of this fine example of Trans-Am history. He purchased his 'Cuda from a neighbor back in 1993 after the local trash-truck driver complained about all the old cars parked in a cul-de-sac three blocks away that made maneuvering his truck difficult. Dave investigated and was surprised to find this rare musclecar sitting curbside. The owner had purchased the car for his wife, and it took three years of persistent hounding by Dave to get him to sell. The low-mileage car was a nice "twenty-footer" according to Dave, who promptly stored it in his garage, gathered parts, researched his planned concours restoration, and saved his money. Three years later he launched an assault on the unsuspecting 'Cuda. Fortunately, it was a rust-free example with original paint, inspection marks, and complete documentation-a restoration shop's fantasy.
Dave performed all the bodywork, painting, and interior refurbishment in his garage. He even went so far as to sandblast and clearcoat the underside. Legendary Auto Interiors provided all the interior trim, while Dave provided the labor. The drivetrain, boasting only 52,000 original miles, was cleaned up, repainted, and returned to its rightful home-in fact, the original heads have never been off the block. The complete restoration was completed single-handedly in a mere 10 months. Dave only drives the AAR about 100 miles a year, ensuring that generations to come will be able to appreciate the legendary factory Trans-Am efforts of 1970.
If Dave can restore a rare musclecar to 100 percent numbers-matching authenticity in his garage, what's keeping you from tearing into that primered Nova behind the barn?

Hello! I am Denise Cayce and I am having so much fun using Wendy's images on my weekly projects!
I have been making cards, scrapbooking and making paper projects for many years! It is such a joy to see the appreciation in my family and friends for the personal items that I have made!
For this week's hostess Monday, I am doing a tutorial on a Christmas Treat Bag! I hope you like it!
Supplies Needed:
8 1/2" x 11" Sheet Colored Cardstock
Cardstock scraps for front of box
Edge Punch
Roll of Sticky Strip Adhesive
Step-by-Step Directions:
Step 1
Position cardstock lengthwise. Using scoring bone folder, score cardstock at 2", 5", 7", and 10".
Step 2
Turn cardstock, and score at 2" and 7".
Step 3
Hold cardstock horizontally with the 2" section at the top.
Use scissors to cut off all but one 2" tall section from the top of the cardstock as shown. This will be the flap closure for the box. Make vertical cuts at the bottom to create 1 1/2" tall flaps, and cut off the narrow piece. This will be the bottom of the box.
Step 4
Cut the narrow piece at an angle to create tab for adhesive. Apply adhesive strips
Fold scored lines with a bone folder. Remove top layer of adhesive.
Construct box. (Add adhesive to all edges of box to adhere flaps
Step 5
Punch edge of front flap.
Pinch top sides of boxes and bend only top of box to form top of box.
Step 6
Punch two holes in flap with cropadile through all box layers (or any hole punch)
(I punched a little off even with premarking where to put my holes, but it still looks great when it is all done)
Step 7
Thread ribbon through holes on box. Center ribbon. Tie in a knot
Step 8
Decorate front of box with scrap cardstocks and or image of your choice (I used Digital Delights Joyful Jamie for the front of my treatbox along with the Magical Christmas Sentiments. She was colored and shaded with my copics! I just love coloring her and have used her many times so far for my projects!)
I also used the corner rounder for my corners of my box
Enjoy filling and giving!

The Romans are to blame as it was they who brought wine to the Palatinate. We, however, have brought it the German Wine Route. The 85 km route has wound its way through the Palatinate from the German Wine Gate on the French border in the district of Schweigen-Rechtenbach to Bockenheim in the north of Germany since 1935.
The easterly location of the exceptional riesling producing region of the Palatinate delivers on its promises: the weather and climate here are particularly favourable. Visitors here are greeted by a veritable Garden of Eden, a place where almond trees blossom pink in spring, where kiwis, figs and lemons flourish in summer and mighty oleander bushes fill the farms and gardens, and where in autumn a sun-kissed, aromatic sea of vines cries out to be harvested and delicious Rhineland Palatinate cuisine comes into its own.
Worlds of wine
The German Wine Route was not made for running, not just because of the narrow streets of the region's wine-growing villages and the sloping roads of the vineyards, but because you can be brought to a stop at any point along the route by a winetasting session. Wonderful wines from renowned makers can be sampled out in the arbors, on the side of the road, in tasting rooms and numerous wine bars along the way. In this charming sunny corner of Germany's largest wine-growing region, the grapes are truly in full-flow, the god Dionysus reigns supreme and the Palatinate's star riesling, pinot grigio and dornfelder wine offer the highest of drinking pleasure.
A region with wow factor
The Dürkheim Barrel (Dürkheimer Weinfass) is a key tourist spot. With a volume of 1.7 million litres and space for around 650 people, it is the largest barrel in the world and is today a tavern which offers wine tasting sessions and a range of culinary delights. The list of wine festivals held along the route is almost as long as the route itself and includes the blooming of the almond trees (Mandelblütenfest) festival in spring, the world's largest wine festival, the Wurstmarkt, the grape harvest festival in Neustadt which features a selection of German wine superstars and the end of autumn festival (Herbstabschlussfest) that is held in Schweigen-Rechtenbach in October.
An indulgently immersive experience
Wine is considered the elixir of life in the land of the vineyards and a celebration would just not be the same without it. It therefore plays a key role in festivals, no matter the size. The German Wine Route can be experienced in either direction, of course, so it's ideally suited to repeat visits. But, of course, anyone who's been here before knows that already!

Apple stock is down ... againJanuary 4, 2013: 12:37 PM ET
Apple rallied along with the rest of the market on Wednesday on fiscal cliff euphoria. The stock soared more than 3%. But iBears seem to have returned with a vengeance.
Shares of Apple (AAPL) were down nearly 2% Friday. And that follows a more than 1% drop on Thursday.
Apple's big slide began last September following the release of the iPhone 5. The stock is down almost 25% from its all-time high.
One popular theory to explain the stock's slump at the end of 2012 was that investors were simply pulling back on their positions for tax-related purposes.
But now that the calendar reads 2013 and Congress has solved most of the tax issues related to the fiscal cliff, that thesis no longer makes sense. Traders on StockTwits have been discussing the pros and cons of Apple for weeks now and the debate continued on Friday.
this ain't tax selling! $AAPL
It's nice to see $GOOG diverge from $AAPL. Holding above $730 would be good for longs in that name.
Apple and Google are clearly the Coke and Pepsi of tech right now. So it is interesting that Google (GOOG) is gaining momentum at a time when Apple is slipping. I still think both stocks are attractive though and would make sense in any long-term investor's portfolio.
Still, strength in Google is not enough of a reason to justify the drop in Apple. Some traders noted a bearish report about iPhone and iPad sales from the Japanese analysts at Deutsche Bank as a possible reason the stock was down Friday. But these traders felt the sell-off was an overreaction.
$AAPL It's crazy that a report out from Japanese sell-side analysts can move the stock price of the largest company in the world. Weak.
Interesting how badly $AAPL is being sold on a stupid $DB report. I think it's a shift into higher-beta tech names.
It remains to be seen just how "stupid" or "crazy" the report may be. It is fair to wonder if Apple is losing its edge a bit in terms of product innovation given that some critics feel the iPhone 5 is merely a bigger iPhone 4S with a bad maps app and the iPad Mini is simply that, a miniature iPad.
This may seem like a long shot, but Apple could even face tougher competition in smartphones from Nokia (NOK) and Research in Motion (RIMM). Nokia's Lumia phones -- which run on Microsoft's (MSFT) Windows Phone operating system, have gotten favorable reviews. And there are growing hopes that RIMM might turn its fortunes around with its oft-delayed BlackBerry 10, which finally launches on January 30.
That's why some investors are waiting for Apple to roll out a truly new product line, such as a long-rumored television or streaming radio service.

Still, there are Apple enthusiasts who believe the stock will make a big comeback. With earnings due out later in January, the naysayers could be proven wrong if Apple beats estimates by a wide margin and/or issues strong guidance for the next quarter.
Rational=Fundamentals, and no one, no one,has made a good fundamental case against$AAPL
Good point. Apple's sales and earnings are expected to continue to growing at a solid clip. It should keep generating huge chunks of cash. And it still trades at a reasonable valuation. So it seems premature to declare that Apple's best days are behind it just yet.
Finally, it's time for Reader Comment of the Week. My favorite story of this New Year-shortened week was definitely Spam maker Hormel (HRL) buying Skippy from Unilever (UN) (UL). But in other food news, I also noted that Dole (DOLE) got crushed on a weak outlook for its fresh fruit. Fellow CNNMoney assistant managing editor Mark Meinero unearthed this gem of a sandwich that marries all three of those foods.

Ansar Dine Islamists seize Malian town of Konna
Issued on: Modified:
Mali's Ansar Dine Islamist rebels said Thursday they had seized control of the central city of Konna, 700 kilometres northeast of the capital Bamako, marking a further push into government-held territory.
Mali's Islamist rebels seized control of the central city of Konna Thursday, encroaching further on government-held territory, said the rebels' spokesman.
Konna, a city of 50,000 people 700 kilometers (435 miles) northeast of the capital Bamako, fell from the government to the rebels, Sanda Abu Mohammed, spokesman of the Ansar Dine rebels, told The Associated Press on the phone from Timbuktu.
The fall of Konna marks a significant push by the rebels to Mali's center.
A Mali army spokesman refused to comment on the loss of Konna but a soldier, who refused to give his name because he was not authorized to speak, said the army had retreated from Konna to the town of Sevare. Local residents said the government air force is sending out planes to battle the rebels from Sevare's military airport.
The Mali army had been fighting the Islamist rebels since Wednesday with heavy weapons. Konna is strategic because it is the center of the country which divides the narrow-waisted country between insurgent-held north and the government-controlled south, government officials said Thursday.
Lt. Col. Diarran Kone, communications adviser for the Ministry of Defense, would not speak about the loss of Konna.
"I do not want to comment on the story much less our wounded military operations in the area," said Kone. "But it is certain that we seek every opportunity to move northward and liberate the cities of Timbuktu , Kidal and Gao."
Since April the Islamist rebels have occupied the vast desert of northern Mali, an area the size of France. The Islamists took advantage of a power vacuum in Mali following a March coup that overthrew the democratically elected president.
The Islamist rebels -- a coalition of three groups including Ansar Dine, al-Qaida in the Islamic Maghreb, and the Movement for Unity and Jihad in West Africa, or MUJAO -- have been implementing a strict version of Islamic law in the north, carrying out public executions, amputations and whippings.
The Islamists are carving out their own country in northern Mali and making it a center for extremism, threatening neighboring countries, according to security experts.
The United Nations Security Council has authorized military action to help the government regain control of the north, but says there must first be political progress made following the military coup last year.

Sometimes statements differ because they are contradictory. The fact is, nothing can both be and not be for the same person, place, or thing, at the same time, and in the same sense (cf. Jevons, 1928, p. 117; Aristotle, 3:4). It is impossible for a single door to be completely shut and completely open at the same time. It is contradictory for a man to say, "Yesterday I never left my house to go to the store," if indeed he did leave his house yesterday to go to the store. Differences in stories may very well be the result of lies and contradictory statements.
At the same time, differences do not necessarily mean that various accounts are discrepant. For example, a person may affirm, "I went shopping with my daughter yesterday." That same person might also tell someone, "Yesterday, I went to several different stores with my best friend." Both of these statements, though different, easily could be true. Perhaps the mother went shopping with her daughter and her best friend, Melissa. Or, it could be that the daughter is the mother's best friend. Either way, it would be irresponsible and unreasonable to interpret such differences as contradictions.
People generally understand that differences can abound in various accounts without a person needing to resort to charges of discrepancy. Imagine how long an employee would keep his job if he operated under the assumption that every time one of his colleagues said something that differed from a previous comment or from what another colleague stated, "someone was lying." Such an employee would soon find himself unemployed. Generally speaking, people who make accusations without sufficient evidence to prove their case are quickly marginalized and distrusted.
Sadly, when it comes to the Bible, many people leave behind reason and fair-mindedness. Different accounts must be "contradictory." Different wordings by different writers must mean someone was wrong. Though unproven and unprovable assertions in nearly every other area of life are quickly exposed as baseless allegations, when it comes to the Bible, differences are often thought to equal discrepancies.
The fact is, the different but truthful wordings in Scripture are exactly what a person should expect to find in a book composed of 66 smaller books written by approximately 40 different writers, who wrote to different people, at different times, and in different places. Furthermore, the differences in Scripture are parallel to the justifiable differences we expect from each other's accounts in modern times.
The fact is, if the apostles and prophets wrote independently of each other, and penned their accounts at different times, in different places, to different people, and for different reasons, differences should be expected. However, the differences are not demonstrated discrepancies. They are only "contradictions" in the minds of those (1) who reject reason, and/or (2) who refuse to "retain God in their knowledge" (Romans 1:28).

Ohio State's engineering students won their fourth consecutive EcoCar 3 competition Tuesday, an Advanced Vehicle Technology Competition sponsored by the U.S. Department of Energy and General Motors Co.
EcoCar 3 is a four-year collegiate automotive engineering competition where 16 North American universities redesign a 2016 Chevrolet Camaro to further reduce its environmental impact while maintaining its current performance and safety, according to a news release from Ohio State. Ohio State's team was in first place going into the competition and earned 895 out of 1,000 overall points.
"The biggest challenge for Year Four was really just creating a vehicle that was better than we had in Year Three and being able to get at this performance aspect of a hybrid-electric vehicle while also focusing very heavily on reducing emissions," Briana Antinoro, co-communications manager for the team, said in the news release. "We get very hands-on. We work with every component within the car."
On top of the first-place trophy, the team won $33,000 to support the university's advanced vehicle technology program. It also won 18 awards, including the NSF Diversity, Inclusion and Equity Award, the NSF Outstanding Advisor Award and the first-place NSF Innovation Award.
"This year the students excelled at both the pre-competition deliverable, the oral report, and the presentations," Ohio State team faculty adviser Shawn Midlam-Mohler said in the news release. "Our students are able to build a great car, but they're also able to communicate in both written and oral communication – the thought process, the design, the validation – all of that effort that goes into building a car."
West Virginia University and the University of Alabama took second and third place in the competition, respectively.
