|This paper deals with usage of an alternative tool for symbolic regression ? analytic programming which is able to solve various problems from the symbolic domain as well as genetic programming and grammatical evolution. This paper describes a setting of an optimal trajectory for a robot (originally designed as an artificial ant on Santa Fe trail) solved by means of analytic programming. Firstly, main principles of analytic programming are described and explained. The second part shows how analytic programming was used for the application of finding of a suitable trajectory step by step. Because analytic programming needs evolutionary algorithms for its run, three evolutionary algorithms were used ? Self Organizing Migrating Algorithm, Differential Evolution and Simulated Annealing ? to show that anyone can be used. The total number of simulations was 150 and results show that the first two used algorithms were more successful than not so robust Simulated Annealing.

The Cenotaph pays tribute to the long list of fools who had their lives swindled from them, for the lie called democracy, at the behest of jewish bankers,who continue to create wars and divide nations, in order to enrich themselves. Every time you buy a poppy or attend one of these gatherings,you genuflect to the power of this cabal of thieves, unknowingly, because they've even stolen your power of reasoning!Delete

Mea culpa!!Delete
Mr CReplyDelete
I see the point that you're getting at, I really do.
But in a case of civil strife (or war, that's how some see it) there has to be some dispensation for the parochial nature of the conflict.
Many Bosnian Serbs saw/still see their Chetnik Militia boys as soldiers and were/are prepared to write off what they did as part of the war process (thankfully raping and looting as far as I'm aware has never been a hallmark of Irish warfare).
But as a tourist, if we were to come across a Chetnik memorial within plain sight of Sarajevo, well, we'd rightly feel ill at ease.
So, to use your varying perspective modes; on one hand a memorial to dead comrades and soldiers on the other hand a massive 2 fingered gesture to their victims, the surviving ones living in the scarred zone nearby.
To compare a Begley plaque to a cenotaph is a tad unfair.
Begley's victims are within walking distance of his plaque.
The same cannot be said for the victims of Bomber Command.
The Army of course, well yes, too many, but how many memorials have been erected within spitting distance their victims? Not so many and indeed probably most of those would be UDR memorials,
Not 'quite' British Army.
Another suggestion where Loyalists and Republicans would be united in outrage.
A better comparison for Begley's plaque would be the Parachute regiment flags that Loyal morons have been erecting in Derry.
How was the show? I can't get it down here not even on youtube. Ragin'.Replies
GC - If your interpretation of the Begley plaque is accurate I would be totally opposed to it. But although I can't be certain any more than you I am convinced it's not intended as two fingers to anyone. Can people in the Shankill see this plaque? I'm open to correction but I doubt it. It's true that the victims of Bomber Harris's boys aren't within walking distance of his statue - but (one example) the victims of Bloody Sunday are most definitely within walking distance of the cenotaph. Some people see it as near sacrilege to make the comparison but actually at heart both are doing the same thing: keeping alive the memory of those who fought and died for what is regarded as an honoured cause. One important difference worth noting: the cenotaphs throughout the north are build to remember and honour ALL of those in the British armed forces who died; the Begley plaque is for one person. I thought the show was quite tasteful in its treatment of the Shankill bomb. I still can't understand how relatives and loved ones find some balm from the replaying of scenes and pictures of those killed - I literally had to look away at times.Delete
PS If you must be formal it's Dr C ;)Delete

Dr C (I didn't know about the Dr bit, apologies if I seemed disrespectful)Delete
I doubt if they can see the plaque, however all the window dressing that came with can not be interpreted as anything but offensive ('family' commemoration my left foot, if I understand correctly there's not a mention of the man's family on the plaque - open to correction though).
Of course, when it comes to offending people in that neck of the woods the Loyalists of that area aren't exactly innocent either.
But I do get stuck into them about it too.
As for the cenotaph point, I just posted a counter point on your other blog.
I hear you loud and clear on the images.
I'd have to look away too.
C G - interesting points. I think you're being a bit hard. I accept that republicans may have highlighted his role as one of them but then most acts are performed for more than one reason. In this case I'd be reasonably sure that the Begley family derived some solace from their son being remembered.Delete

There were somber scenes on Belfast's Shankill rd yesterday as local people came out in their hundreds in memory of the 1993 bombing when people were savagely cut down.

DREAMers Descend on Capitol Hill to Demand a Clean DREAM Act
On November 9th, Dreamers and their allies took part in an inspiring action calling on Congress to pass a Clean DREAM Act to protect the 800,000 young immigrants impacted by Trump's repeal of Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals (DACA). In Washington, DC, student walk-outs culminated in a powerful occupation of Congress, including banner drops, civil disobedience, and a march and rally around Capitol Hill. There were also student walk-outs and solidarity actions around the country. A number of CPD partners participated in these actions in DC and around the country. Watch this video for highlights!

A Certain Age
I knew that Marv Wolfman was writing for Fantastic Four around issue 200, when I first started to read the comic regularly, but when I picked up Fantastic Four Visionaries: George Perez, Vol. 1 today, I discovered that Len Wein was writing for it before that, with some of the earliest comics that I ever got, when they would be packaged up in random groups of three, where you'd see what two of the issues were, but the third would be a surprise.

• Zahid twists facts, claims attacks on him are attacks on KDN
• Then accuses journalists of "spinning" to suit political interests
Facing intense political pressure over a letter that he wrote under the KDN letterhead to an alleged gambling kingpin, Ahmad Zahid Hamidi has now tried to use Home Ministry staff against journalists in order to save his arse.
At a monthly staff assembly, he claimed that "the home ministry is under attack. Yes we are."
This is despite the fact that no one in the past weeks has criticised the ministry itself or its civil servents, only Ahmad Zahid and the letter that Zahid wrote, using his ministerial position, to vouch for Paul Phua, who is on trial in the United States for running an illegal World Cup gambling ring.
Zahid, however, tried to turn the criticism as if they were attacks on the ministry.
The minister conveniently twisted the fact that he is the one being criticised, for writing on KDN letterhead, for committing the Malaysian Government into an endorsement of Paul Phua: the FBI, relying on a report from Malaysian police, says he is part of the Hong Kong-based 14K Triad.
There has been no clarity on whether the Cabinet approved or endorsed the letter, or its being sent to the FBI, while Zahid has claimed that he has the authority to issue such a letter. The Foreign Minister has said one thing and Wismaputra another.
What is clear is that the letter was written after Umno's legal fixit man, lawyer Muhammad Shafee Abdullah, approached Zahid on behalf of the US lawyers for Paul Phua. The Royal Malaysia Police has stayed silent on whether, as Shafee repeatedly claimed, the information supplied to the FBI about Phua and 14K was "totally wrong".
Zahid's letter, about an alleged gangland member, comes two years after he was reported to have said he was "friends" with Malay underworld groups — after which he made threatening remarks about Malaysiakini, which had exposed his speech in a video.
Zahid, his gang "friends", and threats to journos
The Paul Phua letter was exposed by the South China Morning Post, which published the full contents as well as an image.
It was the latest of a series of reports — none from the pliant Umno-owned or Umno-controlled media — that exposed Zahid's doings.
On at least three occasions, in 2013 and 2014, Zahid berated reporters in a clear attempt to intimidate them and their editors.
A Malaysiakini video in 2013 shows him harrassing reporter Laurence Yong who had asked Zahid about RM1.3 million losses in police weapons and other equipment mentioned in the Auditor-General's Report 2012.
In 2014, another video clip by Malaysiakini shows Zahid apparently speaking favourably about the "Tiga Line" underworld group, one of 49 secret societies listed by the Home Ministry in a supposed crackdown on organised crime. Malaysiakini reported that Ahmad Zahid told mostly Umno members at a government function that Tiga Line were his friends.
Malaysian Insider, quoting Malaysiakini, reported what Zahid had said:
Bully boy Zahid threatens journos again
In September 2014, Malaysiakini reporter Susan Loone was arrested by police under the Sedition Act for reporting a politician's remark about being treated "like a criminal" after his detention during police action against a state-sponsored community service volunteer group which the police claim was infiltrated by secret society members.
Also in September Zahid created a huge row over a report in the Sun, in which he was reported to have commented that non-Malays were arrogant and had demanded that the reporter see him. If the reporter "has the guts", the reporter would go and see him and explain the article, Zahid said. (The repporter was also alleged to have gone missing after an official from KDN was said to have gone to the Sun's offices, seeking the reporter, who happened to be off that day.)
He said if the article was not retracted, he would "know what to do" and the Sun later backed down, unnecessarily apologising for an apparent mistranslation from Malay to English.
Now, more threatening words from bully boy Zahid
Now, with his political fortunes being threatened again after media exposure of his activities, Zahid has made more threatening noises about journalists.
In words similar to those he used against Malaysiakini in 2013, Zahid against turned to use of ministry powers against journalists.
In May 2013, he had made similar threats about Malaysiakini: "I will scrutinise every statement, every sentence, every paragraph of Malaysiakini's news. Don't play with fire with me."
What is clear is that Ahmad Zahid Hamidi, who obtained a PhD with a thesis on Utusan Malaysia's influence on the 2013 general elections, wants to throttle Malaysian journalism into the dozy compliance shown by lapdogs in Umno-owned and Umno-controlled media.
He wants Malaysian journalists to forego their professional duty to the citizens of the country and, instead, becoming willing tools of ruling-party politicians by not exposing the racism and misuse of power that exists, or by making excuses for these politicians.
Malaysian journalists must stand up to him, and all others like him.

SARASOTA, Fla. (March 24, 2017) – USF Sarasota-Manatee is offering a glimpse into the life of a student.
With the spring semester winding down, the campus this week rolled out a pilot program called "Classroom & Career Days" that offered Sarasota and Manatee high school seniors an opportunity to spend a half day in a USFSM classroom observing students and their professors.
The exercise, which came courtesy of USFSM's Admissions Office, was designed to allow potential freshmen a chance to learn what campus life is all about. A handful participated in the tours over two days, Wednesday and Thursday, and instructors were consulted ahead of time to expect the students.
"We did this because we really wanted to personalize the enrollment experience," Assistant Director of Admissions Brandon Avery said. "We wanted this experience to be something totally different than an open house or any other large-scale event. We really wanted this to be organic."
After the sessions, a group from USFSM sat with the students to answer questions over lunch. As far as Avery knows, USFSM is the first campus in the USF System to offer the Classroom & Career Days.
"This allows prospective students a chance to get to know our current students and each other versus just learning facts about the school," he said. "We think that makes this event really special."
An Admissions advisor accompanied the students to class, but no one was briefed ahead of time about what to expect in the classroom.
"We think this approach was brave because we never asked what the instructors were going to teach or what our student leaders would talk about," he said. "We just believe that we have a great community and we wanted our prospective students to be able to share in that in an unfiltered way."
With classes at USFSM winding down, no other tours are scheduled this semester, but they could resume in the fall. So far, the reaction has been positive, Avery says.
"I was curious about how a day works at USFSM. I wanted to get a feel for a classroom setting and the different events," said Lilly Hodge, a senior at Lakewood Ranch High School in Manatee County.
After the event, she added, "I will definitely attend USFSM."
Following her visit, Madison Koch, a senior at Inspiration Academy in Bradenton said, "I'm even more excited to go there this fall."
The USFSM Carnival coming April 7
The second-annual USFSM Carnival is scheduled from 3 to 8 p.m. April 7 at the USFSM campus, 8350 N. Tamiami Trail, Sarasota.
This event, which comes in the midst of USFSM Week, is free and open to the public. Carnival rides, games, balloon artists, caricatures and more will be offered. Free parking. Bring your family and friends to this spirited event.
USFSM Week is a weeklong celebration of USFSM. Each campus within the USF System holds similar weeklong celebrations.
Winner-take-all tourney set Monday
Tensions have been brewing all semester. Some are talking smack. On Monday, March 27, all questions will be answered.
The NCAA tournament?
Please. It's the inaugural USFSM Student versus Faculty & Staff Basketball Game.
Set for 5 p.m. at the campus' north end, this gem of a winner-take-all match will finally answer the question plaguing generations of sports fans: Experience or youth? Keep in mind, youth is aiming for a decent grade and finals are around the corner.
No more than 15 players per team. To participate or learn more, visit usfsm.edu/events/.
Technical Career Fair a success
Kudos to Justin Bowie.
The Information Technology student landed a full-time job at Sarasota-based Tropics Software Technologies after attending USFSM's Technical Career Fair Feb. 1.
His wasn't the only success story, but Bowie was eager to share the news.
"I wanted to say thank you for your efforts to get me placed in a position," he wrote in a March 10 missive to Career Services Advisor Toni Ripo. "I just finished my first week and am excited to push my career forward with (Tropics Software)."
Bowie said the fair enabled him to meet the company's hiring manager. Career Services sponsored the four-hour event at Selby Auditorium in conjunction with the S3 IT Club@USFSM.
In all, 18 employers attended, as well as dozens of students from USF Sarasota-Manatee, New College of Florida, Manatee Technical College and State College of Florida.

Omfg what? WHAT?! It just can't end like this! Like that cliffhanger in last book wasn't enough... Now this?! What is that woman doing to me! It's not fair! It should be made illegal to end 2 consecutive books with a cliffhanger!This one was definitely the best one. I thought it doesn't get better than the 3rd book but I was so wrong. I enjoyed every moment of this. I just adore both Daemon and Kat and I was right in there with them during everything. Felt everything they felt. Pretty much jumped around the room when he proposed to her. Best moment of the whole book! Daemon's POV was probably the best decision Ms. Armentrout ever made. Everything was so much better cause of it. I love his wit and how he comes up with stupid lines even in the most dire of situations. Loved being in his head in general.I don't love many YA female characters, but Katy is among those few. She's definitely someone I can relate to. And badass as well. The cast of side characters (both new and old) is still as awesome. Loved Archer. Hated that bitch Nancy with a passion. Dee and Archer just needs to happen. Dawson and Beth were just so so cute together. Still can't believe so many of them were killed off. As much as YA novels tend to be predictable, I didn't find this to be so. Some of the revelations were pretty shocking. Probably the only thing that bothered me with this are those stupid catchphrases. Do Americans really use stuff like 'holy crapola' or 'holy crap on a cracker' or other stuff like that? o.oIt just sounds stupid to me. XDI am still in shock over the ending and might just die till the next book. It should be interesting. Possibly even better than this. We had to do something. We had to make a stand, change the future, or there'd be no future for any of us.

Infecting the City 2017:
05 – 08 April 2017
in Cape Town, CBD
April, Freedom Month, sees the return of Infecting the City, South Africa's pioneering public arts festival. A collaboration between the Africa Centre and the Institute of Creative Arts, Infecting the City celebrates a decade of seminal performances and installations by artists from around South Africa and the world. Now in its 10th year, this cultural phenomenon is once again set for a four-day creative arts takeover of the Mother City from 5 to 8 April 2017.
This year's collection of innovative artists represent the breadth of artistic vision capable of morphing city spaces into new dimensions, as they fill with visual and performance art, dance, music, video and more.
Free as a bird and true to its logo, Infecting the City takes flight with all performances and events free of charge to the people of Cape Town. The dynamic festival programme offers audiences the opportunity to discover new heights and explore ways of reconciling their personal and often emotional relation to public, private and internal spaces.
Co-curator Khanyisile Mbongwa says, "In a time where a lack of ethical leadership lies at the heart of challenges in SA and around the world, Infecting the City's artists step up to the plate and take the reigns as vanguards for creative expression and freedom. In searching for truths and answers, this year's artists lead audiences to uncharted grounds and drive South Africa forward to understanding new ways of being.
"While the contamination of censorship plagues us all, Infecting the City's artists administer the antidote," says Khanyisile Mbongwa

"Strangers and brothers": revisiting the question on the two cultures
We discuss the relationship between art and science. The need to build bridges between the artistic culture and scientific culture is pointed out. They grew apart in spite of the regular contact between them which have always led to mutual enrichment. We compare the claims of Charles Snow and Jacob Bronowski in the fifties with those of the Portuguese António Lobo Vilela, an intellectual banned by the "Estado Novo" very attentive to scientific culture who wrote a book entitled "Science and Poetry". Bearing in mind the history of this debate, we propose the deepening of these bridges in order to materialize the union of artistic culture and scientific culture.

Absorbing and emotive, a truly breathtaking portrait of life.
When any writer gets their hand on a subject matter as sensitive and unusual as one about conjoined twins there is always the risk that the outcome will be slightly garish and tactless. So when I came across Lorin Lansen's The Girls and read it's blurb about two girls joined physically at the head I was at once ignited with curiosity and also laden with apprehension.
Would the story be tastelessly told? Would it inevitably become an over indulged and exploited tale? Well thankfully Lansen's message is strong, this is an ordinary story of ordinary girls who sometimes have extraordinary stories to tell. As one of the twins puts it; "were just 'The Girls'".
This is the tale of Ruby and Rose Dalren, twin girls born joined physically at the head on the day of a freak tornado. Indeed from the very first pages of her book Lansen seems to be telling her reader that far more extraordinary and miraculous things have happened than Rose and Ruby's conjoinment and so the tone is set and thus begins an eloquently told story of great prowess.
The stories narration fluctuates between both twins as they each take their turn in telling their life story. Ruby in a journal like matter of fact tone, Rose incorporating more lyrical and poetic prose.
The twins have received some news regarding their health which has left writer and romanticist Rose desperate to put down in words her story and that of her sisters so that after they have gone an eternal part of them should remain.
And really who would not feel compelled to do such a thing when their own medical circumstance dictate that they will not be expected to enjoy as long and full a life as most other people naturally seem to take for granted? When our time on earth is short perhaps it is understandable that Rose should be so daunted by the prospect of leaving this world without giving one last part of herself.
Her sister Ruby, more practical and pragmatic see's less sense in her sisters ideas but when she realizes that Rose's story will inevitably incorporate her own she is keen to put down her own words about her life and time. The Girls are individuals, they are their own person and connected lives does not always mean connected minds. They don't always see eye to eye and both see their life together quite differently.
Rose is sporty, she likes to write and would have desperately loved to have attended university which the conjoinment has prohibited. Being the physically stronger of the twins Ruby supports Rose who is smaller and is born with club feet, The strain can be difficult upon her but her aunt and guardian insists this is not a cause for pity more a reality that she must simply bear.
Ruby is entirely different to her sister, she likes day time TV and hates sports, she has no time for reading but loves local history. The twins lives are indeed a series of compromises as each must learn to share and evolve in order for them both to enjoy and prosper.
Much of their sensible reasoning and no pity 'get up and go' attitude is thanks to Aunt Lovey and Uncle Stash, their adoptive parents from birth; their own teenage mother clearly to scared by the daunting prospect of raising the girls.
Aunty Lovey takes a no-nonsense approach; from a very early age she places Ruby's favorite doll at one end of the room and Rose's cherished toy at the other, she then encourages the girls to work together, to become a team, a team that supports and accepts it's inevitable eternal conjointment, not pits against it.
And so a beautiful, touching and deeply affecting story is told of two girls seemingly ordinary lives and all of the extraordinary events that pepper it in between. In a reflectively told novel they each tell their own accounts of the most extraordinary aspects of their lives; death's, births, loves, first kisses, highs, lows, sorrows, and triumphs.
Rarely does the writer linger too long on the twins conjoinment instead she inserts humor in their day-to-day irritations at one another, she breathes love into their never-ending support and care of each other. She gives hope in their determination to survive and prosper and ultimately she gives unprecedented reality to her story. She brings her characters to life in an effect that made it hard for me to conceive that the girls were not in fact real.
I won't spoil the ending but I must say this is not a book of dramatic events or of surprise endings, because life is not like that and this book is at it's heart just a superbly told story of life. Life in all of its glory and reality.
The tone towards the end is heavy with sadness but curiously I was simultaneously left weeping and full of joy in an unusual but welcome manner,
But Rose and Ruby do not feel sorry for themselves and nor, Lansen seems to tell us, should we. This book is ultimately a celebration of a life spent well, bravely, honestly and with integrity.
Strangely I finished the book in a supermarket queue in Spain and still had a book hugging moment, the sign og a truly wonderful read I think.
Have you read this or anything else by Lori Lansen? Are any other books about conjoined twins?

Derrek and lexi seemed like the most unusual of couples. Derrek never expected this to happen. One single moment changed everything.
Derek woke up the next day. He was very happy. He showered. He had breakfast. He read his devotions. He saw a note. He smilled and took it out
"Good morning dere! i snunk this into your bible last night when you were not looking. i feel like you and i are starting a new chapter in our relationship. I realy care about you a great deal. I beleve that God created me for you. I beleve you were created for me. I am excited to explore that. I am excited to see how it all comes together. Have a great day and great devotions. I will see you soon. love lex"
He had a productive time in the word.he had a really meeningfull pray time. Then he got ready to go downstairs.
He saw her car pull up. He went outside to meet her. She got out. "Good morning love!" he said. She smiled. "Morning!" she said he hugged her.
"Good morning lexi. " anna his mom said. She said good morning. She worked the room. She held the baby. They had become attached to her. She had become attached to them.
After a while they left. They went into his car. "So how do you always manage to sneak notes into my bible?" he asked. "Oh no that is a closely gaurded secret. " she said. "Oh realy? I had no idea. " he said.
He started the car. He drove off. "I figured i would drop by for lunch?" he said. "Sounds good. Its meet loaf day!" she said. "Sounds good. " he said.
He drove to the parking lot. "I dont think i have been surrounded by so many penticostals before. " he said. "There are more of us then you know!" she said. He laughed. "Oh no!" he said.
He hugged her. She kissed him on his forehead. "I will see you at lunch. " she said. "You got it. " he said. He made sure she got inside. Then he drove off.
" so lexi! Was that your cessationest boyfriend? " a friend asked. "Yes it was. " she answered. She thought to herself her future husbend. She went to clases.
He drove to his campus. He parked and got out of the car. He went to his clasroom.
He really liked his clases. He learned a lot. He knew the importance of traning for ministry. He knew the importance of learning.he took his academics seriously. He knew that he had to keep his focus his focus. Keep the main thing the main thing.
Now morning clases was over. He was ready to go see lexi. He was ready to go see lexi. He went to his car. He got a few jokes from his friends. " hey! Leaving pronised land for Egypt? " one said. Another friend commented that he should be carefull not to get the penticostal bug. He assured them that he would.
He headed to the car. He was excited to see her. It had not been that long sense he saw her. He stil found that he missed her. He had so much he wanted to tell her. He suspected she did as well.
He pulled in to the campus. He noticed that there were a lot of bumper stickers on car. There were contemporary christian music starions bumper sticker. There were generic and penticostal bumper sticker. All he had on his car was that he loved his beigle.
He walked inside. He saw students geting out. "Hey there!" she said. He kissed her on her cheek. She took his hand. "The food does not contain a substence that turns people into penticostals do you?" he asked. "I am not alowed to talk about that. " she said.
They held hands as they walked to the dining hall. This was his second time on campus. He stil felt out of place. He got a meal ticket then got lunch. He sat down at a table with lexi and her friends.
She Introduced him to everyone. They all seemed like nice people. They were friendly and polite to him.
"So your studying to be a baptist pastor? " one student asked. " yes i am. " he said. "I see. I know a little bit about fundimental Baptist university. You are known to not believe in the gifts of the holy spirit?" jake a student remarked.
"Well. I do believe in the gifts of the holy spirit. I beleve that tounges and phophecy were gifts but they were ones of manny not the only gifts of the sprit.i beleve that there are multiple gifts of the holy sprit . all are importent. I beleve tounges and phophecy ceased as gifts upon completion of scripture. " he said in response.
"That cannot be proven beyound doubt. There is no verse that says in 345 ad tounges will cease." jake commented. " corinthians 13: 10 says that phophecy and tounges will cease. "He said.
" i know the view that phophecy and tounges ceased on completion of scripture. There is no evidence that the completion of canon of scripture is "the perfect. " a student ben said.
"Peater said that we have what we need for life and godliness. One of ny profesors like to say that the bible has the answer for every issue in life. The bible does not address every issue we faced specifically but there are principles. "He said.
"Every time spiritual gifts are referenced, tounges and phophecy make that list. There are test are phophetic utterance. In the new testament epistles tounges and phophecy are viwed as viable gifts of the holy sprit. There is only one reference to its ceasing. It seems to be in the distent future. " Jake said.
"It seams Baptist do not supernatural. " valerie said. "I disagree with that satement. We do believe in supernatural. We see miracles as things only the lord could do. I am suspect of believers performung miracles in this age. " he said.
"We are commanded to perform mericles?" ben asked. " yes . in acts we see miracles performed by belevers getting less and less. " he said.
"That is a weak argument. " Valerie said. Mercifully it was nearing time for him to get back to his campus. He took her hand and they walked outside.
"Oh no. Your never setting foot on campus again are you?" she asked."no im fine. Did you enjoy that?"he asked. "You have no idea. So are we stil friends? " she asked in a playful mannor.
He laughed. "Yea we are stil friends! " he said. "Good. So i will see you after clases. "She said. "You got it. I have old testiment servey? You?" she asked. "Contemporary work of the holy sprit. " she said. "Interesting. " he said. She chuckled.
He huuged her. " i will miss you. " she said. "I will miss you lex. " he said. They kissed on the cheek then they dispersed. He went back to his campus.
He picked her up later in the day. She was waiting for him.she hugged him. "I know it has not been that long but i realy did miss you. " she said. "I missed you too. " he said.
She was invited to stay for dinner at his parents house. She accepted. After dinner they sat on the steps. "So tomorrow both our schedules are all over the place. We have clases and work. Wednesday is midweek service.how about i pick you up. I come see you at fbu. Assuming your ok being seen with a crazy penticostal. " she suggested.
"It is your turn lex. I love the idea. " he said. "Great! I was hoping you would. I hope they go easy on me. " she said. "No promises. " he said.She laughed and said ok.
On Wednesday she pulled in to his driveway. He got in. "Have you consudered downsizing your bumper sticker colection?" he asked. "You ashamed to be seen with me?" she asked. "You no !your car i am not so sure. I meen 'got holy sprit?' 'have you spoken in tounges today?" he asked. She chuckled. "No i have not considered scaling back on my bumper stickers. " she said. "I figured i would try. " he said.
"What clases do you have today?"she asked. "History and thology of missions,and romons. You?"he asked."harmony of the gospels and christian ethics."she said. "Normal clases not sprituel laughter."he said. "Hay that is a really good course."she said. "I made that up. Please tell me that is not a real course?"he asked.
She kept quiet. They arived at his campus. "So i will see you at lunch? " he asked. "You bett!"she said. "I will tell my friends to go easy on you but no promises. " he said. "Ok!" she said.
"Have a good day at school! "She said. "You too. See you at noon. "He said. He started to walk off. " hey. Lex i love you!" he said. She was a bit taken aback. "I love you. " she said.
As she drove off she realized something changed with him. The wall he put up was starting to come down. He was letting himself fall in love with her. She liked seing him relaxed. She felt like this was starting to become real.
She came back at noon. She had never been on he campis of an independent fundimental baptist college before. She walked around. "Can i help you?"a young lady asked. "Hi lex!" he said.
"Hi . i have not trigered any proximity alarm yet. " she said. "Danger penticostal alert. Oh you will need this. I took care of lunch." he said. "You did not need to do that." she said."i wanted to. " he said. "Thank you"she said. " no problem lex." he told her.
They went to the dining hall. They got lunch and sat down at a table. "Doctor mcgath this is lexi."he said."so your lexi. I had looked froward to meeting you. I am the president of the college."he said.
"Yes. Derrek hs mentioned you . "he said. "It is good to Finaly meet you. We have an anual November retreet. I hope you can attend." he said.."derrek has mentioned it. I am planing to. " she said. "Excellent. " he said.
"Your the reason derrek is bumping into things?"another comented. "I have been a little distracted. My grades have not been effected. "Derrek said. "His grades are really good. He is mostly an a student but nothing below a b. " the president said. "I am glad to hear that i am not distracting him from his accedemics." she said.
"No your not. He has not hurt hinself or any one else."the president said. "I dont think that i have had my head too much in the clouds!" he remarked." your fine."the president said.
"I understand your penticostal?" the president said. " yes i am. Dont wory i am not going to turn him penticostal. "She assured him.
"I am not too concerned. Derek is a promising student. We are excited what the lord will do on your lives. " he said. "I am as well. " she said.
"My wife is looking froward to meeting you. She will be at the retreet. Derek you and lexi will need to drop by the house sometime." he said."of course. " she said.
She was nervous about it. Derek considered doctor mcgath a close mentor. She would become very close with doctor mcgath's wife. The two families would be very close.
She had had a very good visit.she was glad she came. She was glad she met the school president.he walked her to her car. "I will see you tonight? "He asked. "I cant wait. I will miss you."she said. "I will miss you. "He said. She hughed him.
She returned after her afternoon clases. She picked him up. "Hi hunnie!"he said. " hi derrek." she said. He got in and he hugged her.
She felt at home right now. She felt like she got a glimpse at what her future might look like. She was exited.
They went to his church . the church was getting used to seing her. She was getting used to them as well.
At prayer time,she was exited to get together to get together with his family and other ladies in the church. She went downstairs. After the prayer time. "We are so glad that you have been comming. " many ann said.
"Thank you. I am enjoying getting to know all of you. " she told her. "Keep comming. " another lady said. "I will."she said.

Fore! Well, actually five. Get your pickaxe out and take a steady aim for this Week 5 Challenge in Fortnite.
One of the trickiest challenges in Fortnite this week is to hit a golf ball from tee to green on different holes on the Fortnite map. Note: You don't need to hit a hole in one, but you do have to follow it up and get the ball either into a hole or very close to the flag with your first try. It's a bit hit and miss.
Just like the the challenge to score a basket on different hoops, this one is going to require a little patience, and it leaves you out in the open as a potential target.
Hit a golf ball from tee to green on different holes
Firstly, you'll obviously need to head to Lazy Links on the Fortnite map as this is where the big golf course is. It's the location marked F3 on the map, at the north of the island. You can't miss it.
It's important to note that you also need to have reached tier 27 on the Season 5 Battle Pass in order to unlock the golf club toy.
There are nine holes at Lazy Links in total and you need to putt the golf ball from the tee to the green in one fluid move. To find the tee, look for the numbered plaque on the green. You then have to hit the ball into the hole or very close to the flag for the challenge to register as complete.
Sometimes the challenge recognises the ball getting close enough from tee to flag, other times you need to follow it up and putt the ball right into the hole. If you don't follow it through, you won't earn the challenge reward. You'll know it's registered as complete as you'll see the pop-up icon.
You aim the golf ball using the crosshair. The higher you aim, the higher and further the ball will go. With practise you'll get a feel for it.
If you're finding it difficult you can practise in Playground mode but remember any challenges you complete in Playground won't count towards your Weekly Challenges.
We recommend trying to complete the challenge in 50 v 50 mode as there's less chance of you getting slaughtered while you're trying.
For help with the rest of the week 5 challenges we also have a guide to following the treasure map found in Snobby Shores.
- All Week 1 Challenges
- Follow the Treasure Map found in Risky Reels
- Search Floating Lightning Bolts – Every Floating Lightning Bolt location
- Search between an Oasis, Rock Archway and Dinosaurs
- Score a basket on different hoops – All Basketball court locations
- Follow the treasure map found in Flush Factory
- Shoot a clay pigeon at different locations
- All Week 4 Challenges
- Jump through Flaming Hoops with a shopping cart or ATK
- Search between a Gas Station, Soccer Pitch, and Stunt Mountain

When things in life go sour we curse the gods. When things go right we praise the gods. What about when things are just there? Not good or bad?
That's when I say "Life's great!" Literally out loud I say "Life's great!" I do it when I'm doing routine things around the house or when I'm packing for a weekend with friends.
Saying positive things out loud really can make a difference. It has for me at least. It puts a smile on people's face around you. At first they may think you're being silly but after a while maybe they will catch on.
Life really is great so make it great. Tell yourself it's great.
If you say it enough you'll start to believe it. Screw everyone else that thinks you're weird. They just haven't realized how great life is yet.

By Matthew Umstead / The Herald-Mail
MARTINSBURG, W.Va. — A coalition backing a campaign to spur redevelopment of historic — and often venerable — property in West Virginia downtowns, by increasing available tax credits to potential investors, is slated to hold the first of a handful of forums across the state on Thursday in Martinsburg.
The public meeting about the recently launched effort to increase the state's historic tax credit from 10 to 25 percent will be held from 3 to 5 p.m. in the Shenandoah Hotel building at 100 W. Martin St. in downtown Martinsburg.
Individuals can register at https://revitalizewvdowntowns.com/lets-talk-revitalizing-west-virginias-downtowns, or sign an online petition on the "Revitalize West Virginia's Downtowns" coalition website.
The forums are part of an educational outreach effort to engage with state lawmakers, community leaders and potential investors about the benefits of increasing the state's historic tax credits, said Nicole Marrocco of the West Virginia Community Development Hub.

Driving Experience
An advanced system to help you stay in your lane
A Lane Keeping System uses a forward-looking camera to detect if you're unintentionally drifting out of lane. Lane Keeping Alert then warns you by vibrating the steering wheel and displaying a visual warning. If you're slow to react or don't respond, Lane Keeping Aid can provide steering torque assistance to help guide you safely back into the right lane. The technology is designed for multi-lane roads (like motorways), so will automatically deactivate at speeds below 43mph (65 km/h) or can be turned off manually.

Whether the signs are at the side of the road or above it, permanent or temporary, Traffic Sign Recognition can identify them. An icon of that speed or a no-overtaking sign appears on the instrument cluster and changes every time you enter a new limit.

And you can even call up a list of local restaurants just by saying "I'm hungry", or access the Michelin Guide to help you choose and book places to eat.
Your favourite music, as it's meant to be heard
Whatever your taste in music, it deserves to sound as the artist intended. And that's exactly what you can expect in your new Fiesta. Why? Because it's available with B&O PLAY. This premium level 675-watt audio system delivers a rich, powerful sound via a 10-speaker, woofer and subwoofer inclusive set-up. And this advanced technology has been specifically designed, developed and fine-tuned for the Fiesta by B&O PLAY's specialist acousticians. So turn it up and enjoy your favourite bands and songs in the concert hall that is your car's cabin.
Performance & Efficiency
More power. More efficiency. More enjoyment
The revolutionary 1.0 litre 3-cylinder Ford EcoBoost petrol engine gives you all the power you'd expect from a conventional 1.6 engine, but achieves better fuel economy and CO2 emissions as low as 97g/km. Win, win. You can also choose a 1.1 litre TiVCT engine that gives you up to 85 PS to play with whilst keeping emissions down to just 82g/km.
Diesel power
Prefer diesel? Then go for the 1.5 litre TDCi engine that delivers a rewarding 85 PS and achieves a money-saving economy of 88.3 mpg (combined) with CO2 emissions of just 82 g/km for the 3-door and 3.3L/100km with CO2 emissions of just 84 g/km for the 5-door. If you want even more power plus efficiency, a 120 PS engine gives you 88.3 mpg (combined) and CO2 emissions of 89 g/km.
Safety & Security
A system that can help protect pedestrians
Pre-Collision Assist with Pedestrian Detection detects vehicles and pedestrians up to 130 metres ahead, or who could cross the vehicle's path, and warns you of their presence. If you don't respond, the system automatically applies the brakes. This new technology is designed to help reduce the severity of accidents, or help avoid them altogether. And not only does it function at speeds of up to 50mph, it also works at night.
Airbags to shield you from all angles
In addition to the driver and passenger front airbags, side airbags provide thorax protection and are designed to direct the occupant away from the impact area. They're also able to raise the arm of the occupant providing better space between them and the intruding structure. Curtain airbags provide maximum coverage and headrests offer protection from whiplash. With front and rear seatbelt pre-tensioners and load limiters, plus seatbelt minders, Fiesta helps puts your safety first.

Michael Clark Proves That (20/10 Vision) Does Exist In The Basketball World
If you don't know Michael Clark then it's about time you get...
A recent discussion on numbers kicked this effort into effect.
The dialogue centered on who was the greatest player to ever wear a specific number. In New York City, interest was piqued due to the pedigree of the Yankees (i.e. Jeter #2, Ruth #3, Gehrig #4, DiMaggio #5, & Mantle's #7, etc.) as those "greatest" players representing those single-digits.
Now I figured just about everyone in Boston probably lost their minds behind that when you consider that a gentleman named Bobby Orr owned # 4 during his period of sustained excellence; making separate delineations among the major sports a natural imperative.
So we started kickin' this around for Hockey only; could we come with enough Goal Brothers & Flavas to cover every number to 99?
Well, we're about to find out, but first… There is an undiscovered history with Black Canadians, African Americans, multi ethnic Blacks in the National Hockey League. This is the short history of the names and numbers of these fine athletes. We celebrate the Goal Brothers on the ice during Black History Month. In 1958 Willie O'Ree (#22) put on the Black and Gold of the Boston Bruins and wore the number 22. O' Ree was the first Black professional on ice. O'Ree was the first disabled player on the ice, which nobody mentions. Willie played most of his career with one eye because of a hockey accident. O'Ree is the spokesmen for the league and has seminars in the inner cities to attract minorities to the game of hockey. Dirk Graham right winger (#33 – C), who was the first Black Captain on the ice. Graham played for the Minnesota North Stars and Chicago Blackhawks. He was a tough checker and winner of the Frank J. Selke Award for the best defensive forward in 1991. He also has the distinction of being the first Black head coach in the league in 1998-99 taking the Chicago Blackhawks to the Finals losing to the Pittsburgh Penguins. Graham's reward was getting fired. Tony Anthony Syiid McKegney (#25) played 13 years in the National Hockey League drafted by the Buffalo Sabers in 1978 Amateur Draft and the World Hockey Association Birmingham team. Hockey Fans in Birmingham were not happy to have a Black player on the team and threatened to boycott games. Boy, the WHA missed a great player as McKegney would score over 300 goals. He had eight 20 goal seasons and Calgary's Jarome Iginla would break his 78 point season by a Black player. He played for many teams in his long career (Quebec Nordiques, Minnesota North Stars, New York Rangers, St. Louis Blues and Detroit Red Wings). Tony was the first Black player to score 40 goals in one season. McKegney would end his hockey days with the San Diego Gulls of the International Hockey League in 1992-93. Grant Fuhr (#1, #31, HHOF) was drafted 8th overall in 1981 ten years later would be traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs who in turn traded him to the Buffalo Sabres. He guided the lowly Sabres to the Stanley Cup Finals – and was the first Black to win a Stanley Cup with the Edmonton Oilers. Fuhr was one of the greatest goalies of modern times. Fuhr is also the first Black player to enter the Hockey Hall of Fame. The closing of Fuhr's career was with the St. Louis Blues taking them to the playoffs in 1996 as Nick Kypreos ran into Fuhr in the goalie crease tearing up his knee. Fuhr would play four more years with the Calgary Flames and Florida Panthers in 2000-01 but he was never the same. On October 22, 1999 he received his 400 victory. He is the first Black goalie to have this record. Fuhr is now the goalie coach for the Phoenix Coyotes. Valmore James (#20) The burly left winger was the first African – American to put on a hockey jersey. James was like the Cleveland Indians' baseball star Larry Doby, coming in at number two. Few notice James because of this fact. While O'Ree got all the accolades for being the first Black in the league, James was drafted by the Detroit Red Wings in 1977 played for the Buffalo Sabres and Toronto Maple Leafs. Many players from other teams have stated that he was the hardest puncher they have ever met. Guess the minor league boxing career could have helped him stay out of trouble in the NHL. He ended his career with the Baltimore Skipjacks of the American Hockey League and the Flint Sprits of the International League in 1988. Jarome Arthur Leigh Adekunle Tig Junior Elvis Iginla (#12 – C) Goal Brotha #1 is a right winger with the Calgary Flames and the second Black player to captain a NHL team. With a name like that, one better be good and Iginla did not disappoint anyone. He is a six- time All Star and leader for the Flames. He was drafted by the Dallas Stars in the 1995 Entry Draft 11th overall. The Stars traded him to Calgary for Joe Nieuwendyk, one of the biggest mistakes in the Stars' history. He was the first 18 year old to play in the Stanley Cup since 1983. Iginla was named rookie of the year and Calder Memorial Trophy winner. He helped the Canadian Olympic team to the gold medal with the assist on Sidney Crosby's game winning goal. Iginla is leading the drive for Calgary to make the playoffs this year.
Donald Brashear left winger ended his career with number 87 with the Washington Capitals and New York Rangers. Known as "The Enforcer" few players ever crossed him. Brashear will be forever known as the player that got cold cocked by a hockey stick from behind by Marty McSorley – one of the ugliest moments in hockey history. Dustin Byfuglien (#33 – A) right winger-defensemen, drafted by the Chicago Blackhawks in 2003, was traded to the Atlanta Thrashers after changing his number from #52 to #33 in honor of the first black captain on the ice Dirk Graham (other black players have done likewise). The Blackhawks might be wishing he was wearing red and black instead of sky blue as they struggle to make the playoffs. Byfuglien helped Chicago win the Stanley Cup last year and has raised the expectation bar for the Atlanta Thrashers. He is back at his original position on defense. Big Buff is part of the new wave of players with speed, strength, and scoring power. Byfuglien is the Alternate Captain for the Thrashers, which shows leadership. This year he went to the All Star Game. Dustin Byfuglien is the future of the NHL. Trevor Daley (#6) defense played for the Dallas Stars who also had Jarome Iginla and traded him. The Stars learned their lesson and kept Daley. In a hideous incident, Daley took issue with his minor league coach and General Manager John Vanbiesbrouck calling him names because he was Black, Daley quit with only a week left in the season. Vanbiesbrouck resigned two days later and Daley finished the season with the Sault Ste. Marie Greyhounds. Daly also played with the national team in the 2006 World Cup Championships for Canada. Ray Emery (#1, #29& 35) the 'Sugar Ray' of goalies, followed in the footsteps of Fuhr. Emery is the favorite goalie of the Popsicle Bros. because he combined the Grant Fuhr aggressive style and Patrick Roy butterfly style of goaltending and made it the Emery Style. Very few coaches understood this style and always wanted to change the way he played in net. He just never got a chance to shine. He played for the Ottawa Senators and guided them to the Stanley Cup Finals who had not been there since 1927, losing to the Anaheim Ducks. He began his career on fire winning his first nine games of the year. Then he did it again the next year. Contract disputes followed and he became a free agent. Emery still wanted to play so he went overseas and played in the Russian League with great stats. In 2009 Emery came back to the United States and the Philadelphia Flyers.
Emery almost died do to a medical condition (Avascular Necrosis) however the doctors caught it just in time before it spread through his leg. Many people did not like Emery because he put famous Black boxers on his mask in tribute to them. What a double standard when white goalies put blood and gore on their mask and not a word is spoken to these goalies!
What irony he signed a contract with the Anaheim Ducks in 2011. With the recent injury to the phenomenal Jonas Hiller, Emery's saga may take another dramatic turn come playoff time. Kevin Weekes (#1, 80) played goalie for many teams and the last Black goalie to get significant net time in the league. He played for the New Jersey Devils near the end of his career in 2007- 08.
It seemed all of his hockey life Weekes had to gain respect from his teammates and other goalies in the league. It seemed like he was always supplanted by a younger goalie once he arrived.
Drafted by the Florida Panthers in 1993 was traded to the Vancouver Canucks for Pavel Bure. Then he would move on to the New York Islanders mid- season in 1999-2000. Weekes never fit into this team's style of play and needed to move on. Then it was off to western Florida and the Tampa Bay Lightning in 2001-2002. Weekes would not stay there long because mid season he would find a home with the Carolina Hurricanes and teamed up with Arturs Irbe as Weekes was the lead goaltender for the 'Canes to go to the Stanley Cup Finals in 2002. In 2004-05 he signed as a free agent with the New York Rangers and a youngster named Henrik Lundqvist would be the number one goalie in Madison Square Garden. Weekes would move across the Hudson River and the New Jersey Devils. Once again he would have to battle for the number one spot after starter Martin Brodeur went down with a season ending injury. Weekes had to battle Scott Clemmensen as both goalies would lead the New Jersey Devils to the Stanley Cup Quarter Finals losing to the eventual Champion Carolina Hurricanes in game seven. Weekes became the first Black commentator for the National Hockey League Network, and is a contributor to the Hockey Night In Canada broadcast team. Nigel Dawes (#15) now suits up with the Atlanta Thrashers. New Jersey Martin Brodeur is happy that the plucky left winger is in Atlanta not in New York because Dawes owned the All Star goalie.
He was drafted by the #10 New York Rangers in the 2003 overall draft. Dawes played also played for the Phoenix Coyotes but was claimed on Waivers by the Flames and made his stardom in Calgary.
He now joins the Goal Brothers in Atlanta, and has become a very effective performer in shootout situations. Evander Kane (#9) is the most electric Black skater and scorer in some time playing for the Atlanta Thrashers with Dustin Byfuglien on this team with Kane the Thrashers have Stanley Cup potential. Kane was drafted in 2009 and drafted by the Vancouver Giants of the Western League. Kane went west to get seasoned and it seems to be a perfect fit. He earned the rookie of the year award and set the record for goals in the league. He has played for Team Canada in 2008 and the 2009 World Junior Championships and starred in both tournaments, winning gold medals in both.
P.K. Subban (#76) one of the strongest skaters on the ice who has the attitude to pull it off. He plays the game with flair something the NHL needs – and Montreal demands. He was a World Cup standout before joining the Montreal Canadiens. P.K. Subban was the first Canadian rookie to get three assist in one playoff game.
Robbie Wayne Earl (#38) left winger drafted by the Toronto Maple Leafs then traded to the Minnesota Wild. He helped the Wisconsin Badgers get to the 2006 Frozen Four. He scored the winning goal against Boston College. Michael James Grier (#25) right winger a well traveled player now with the Buffalo Sabers very strong defensive right winger with the Edmonton Oilers, Washington Capitals and San Jose Sharks; and one of the best utility player because he can also play left wing – it must be nice to be ambidextrous. Grier was the silent leader of the Men of Teal and they went to the conference finals two years ago. Grier was the first American born and American trained hockey player. Georges Laraque (#17, 27) right winger now with the Montreal Canadiens, Laraque was drafted by the Edmonton Oilers. He also played for the Pittsburgh Penguins and Phoenix Coyotes. Known as the enforcer for many teams and awarded for best fighter in 2003, Big Georges played in Sweden to keep his scoring skills sharp during the Lockout in 2004. While the Canadiens traded for him to play against the bigger front line of the Philadelphia Flyers, It did not help as the Flyers beat them and went on to the Finals. Due to his earlier back injuries Montreal released him. Laraque retired and went to Haiti to help his fellow countrymen after the massive earthquake. He helped to rebuild the Grace Children's hospital in Port-au-Prince.
Jamal Mayers (#10, 21) drafted by the #21 Saint Louis Blues in 1999 and played there the majority of his career, the right -winger was traded to the Toronto Maple Leafs he did not fit in the Leaf organization and moved back to the United States after playing one year with the #19 Calgary Flames now suits up for the San Jose Sharks.
Greg Mauldin (#20) right winger a 7th round draft pick by the Columbus Blue Jackets in 2002 entry draft, traded to the Minnesota Wild in 2006, then in 2008 he was traded to the St. Louis Blues farm team. A year later, Mauldin signed a contract with the Ottawa Senators and played half the season in their season. This was getting frustrating for Mauldin not getting to know a team system because of the year to year movement. There were two more moves before he would find a home New York Islanders in 2009 he now plays for the Colorado Avalanche. He paid back his former team scoring a shorthanded goal against the Blue Jackets as the Avalanche wins 5-1.
# 15 Kendall McArdle left winger drafted by the Florida Panthers in 2005 he has played in three Kelly Cup playoffs. Kenndal played in the 2007 World Junior Championships for Team Canada. McArdle made his NHL debut in 2008 with 24 points. He is another star of the future if he can stay in the Panther system. This seems to be the key to a great NHL career staying in one program. #21 Kyle Okposo right – winger with the New York Islanders and the Isles sure missed his energy and scoring power this year as injuries have slowed him down. #17 Wayne Simmonds right winger of the up and coming Los Angeles Kings the 2nd round draft choice in 2007 and has impressed many in the league. He literally carried the Kings the first few months of this season and the Kings are on a current hot streak of 8 games without a loss. He has tried to instill his work ethic on his King teammates. Many love his skating skills and his stopping abilities on the ice. Anthony Stewart (#22) the older brother of Chris, was the first round draft choice by the Florida Panthers, now with the Goal Brothers of the Atlanta Thrashers. Stewart scored in his first game against the New Jersey Devils in 2005 against future Hall of Famer Martin Brodeur. Two days later scores against hot goaltender Olaf Kolzig. Stew won gold and silver in the World Juniors in 2004-2005.
Norman Chris Stewart (#25) right winger of the Colorado Avalanche the Jamaican born star drafted in 2006 making his NHL debuted in 2008. He is the younger brother of Anthony Stewart and maybe the first Black brother team in the NHL. He is best friends with the Los Angeles King forward Wayne Simmonds and they play, practice, and live together in the summer time in Toronto. As the leading scorer for the Avs last year, the younger Stewart is getting a reputation of getting the "Gordie Howe Hat trick" (goal, assist, and a fight). Joel Ward (#29) the feisty right winger for the Nashville Predators Ward has won a few games these past few weeks keeping the Predators in the Stanley Cup race with his 20 points this year.
Shawn Belle (#45) born in Edmonton, Belle was drafted by the Saint Louis Blues in 2003. He won gold and silver medals in World Junior Championships, and went on to play for Team Canada in the Russian-Canadian Challenge in 2004. Belle played for the Minnesota Wild and Montreal Canadiens who would later come back home to play currently for the Edmonton Oilers. Maxime Fortunus (#27, 38) defensemen signed as a free agent for the Dallas Stars in 2008. He is one of the few players of full blooded Haitian descent. Played eight games for the Stars and hasn't had a chance to show the scoring touch he honed while with the Manitoba Moose of the American Hockey League which he has played for four years. #51 Francis Bouillon The power-packed defenseman from Haiti is now playing for the Nashville Predators and currently on injured reserve.
"The Cube" was a walk-on standout for the Montreal Canadiens. #2 Mark Fraser was a third round draft choice of the New Jersey Devils in 2005. Fraser helped stabilize the Devils on defense after the loss of Gomez and Gionta to Montreal. Coaches love Fraser for his stamina and grit against the opponent's big men. Fraser helped Martin Brodeur tie the victory record of Terry Sawchuk with a winning goal. #65 Derek Joslin was a fifth round draft choice by the San Jose Sharks in 2005 from the Ottawa 67's. Joslin is a hard hitting defenseman that the Sharks need to help San Jose goalie, Nittmi #29 Johnny Oduya defense this Goal Brother from Sweden solidified the New Jersey defense for many years. He played for the Swedish National Team in 2005 and the most recent Winter Olympics. Drafted by the Washington Capitals in 2001, The Caps released him and he left for Sweden to play for the Frolunda HC team then it was back to American and the New Jersey Devils were he became a star in the Meadowlands. The Devils traded him to the Atlanta Thrashers to join the 6 other Goal Brothers in Atlanta.
#49 Theo Peckham A third round draft choice of the Edmonton Oilers, Peckham has his highest point total of his career at 10 at the halfway point of the season. The defenseman scored his first NHL point against the Nashville Predators and his first goal against the Detroit Red Wings. #24 Bryce Salvador was a sixth round draft choice by the Tampa Bay Lightning in 1994. Salvador was the Rock of the New Jersey Devils defensive unit how he plays reflex on the Devils game. Salvador has not played much this season and the Devils defense looked like a sieve the first half of the year. Head Coach Jacques Lemaire was rehired and shook up the Devils basic defensive skills and made them work hard each practice. Jersey is still waiting for Salvador to play full time.

So, with the help of Hockey Reference.com, we've done this by the numbers to shake out our favorite flavas at each spot. We apologize in advance if any Goal Brothas were missed, but it is plain to see how in spite overt and covert racism, so many fought long and hard to play the game they loved.
