Photographer's Note
Hello friends and colleagues, today I present the third photo in the series on the beautiful town of Gengenbach, Germany, I discovered this site by pictures of our classmates, I hope you like it, then some letters on the villa.
Gengenbach is a small town of about 11,000 inhabitants. It is located in southern Germany, at the edge of the Black Forest, in the District of Ortenau, Baden-Wurtemberg. Her beauty - typical of the towns in southern Germany - has been a matter for the city was chosen as background for several films, including Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, and has also served as muse to artists and writers.

Bonjour Angel
C'est très ressemblant avec l'Alsace. Cette superbe porte qui ouvre les rues du village aux touristes. Les belles rues de pavés et l'alignement des maisons à colombages qui malgré un ciel délavé sont d'une belle netteté.

Hola Angel,
These half timbered houses with their colourful shutters make a eye-catching scene. The original owners must have had some wealth when you consider their size!
A well-chosen viewpoint has created a natural lead from the road, which takes us leisurely past each attractive building to the awaiting arch, surmounted by a tower.
The light was not in your favour but you have captured the details with excellent clarity.
My warm regards,
Bev :-)

Hola Angel,
unfortunately the sky don't help you to capture a blue one to enhance even more the beauty of this section of the village.But with a mysterius way the quality of the presented constructions is fascinating,as we can see the most of the details,making the scene so charmy and unique.

No_One (4) 2014-01-16 7:51
hi Angel,
It is wonderful, you seem to find an endless array of beautiful architecture to photograph and this is another wonderful example. The detail of the buildings catches my eye so much, but then the depth created by leading into and under the arch of the tower pulls my attention that way. I love a scene with so many elements! A really beautiful composition.
Thanks as always
adramad (64826) 2014-01-16 11:20

Hello Angel,
This is a wonderful picture with all these half-timbered facades.
One small minus point is the super white sky.
Perspective and depth make these picture wonderful
This is a wonderful picture with a very nice sharpness and colours.
Very well done, TFS.
Nice weekend,

Hi Angel
the longer I view this one the more my eyes hurt haha
it must be all those criss/crosses of the wood on the buildings, its making my eyes strain :)
here is another photo that proves to me that a white sky is OK, i didn't think that before coming on to TE.
fine shot indeed with unique architecture

ikeharel (103281) 2014-01-17 6:15
The town of Gengenbach has same architecture style as we find in Alsace, just west to the Rhine river on the same aea, Angel.
Fine street view with the wooden beams houses, and a harmony of colors. Nicely shown to its length with the old tower "rises" on, and a fabulous sundial on its wall.
Cheers and buen tarders,

Hi Angel
A beautiful townscene and the lovely compo with effective use of wide lens and pov, when burst of colors add that all important impact and contrast they create to the environment. You certainly know how to find the right subjects and sight, the favourable conditions to make the best of the available elements. Excellent shot. TFS
Warm regards

emka (147577) 2014-01-19 23:37
Hola Angel,
These houses look so similar to the houses from Alsace. fantastic examples of half-timbered architecture. And splendid tower in the end of the street. Wonderful composition, I like it.
Warm regrads Malgo
Yo voy a Jerez en mayo durante la Feria del Caballo. Espero encontrarte.

Holà Angel
Une belle vue sur ce village typique
C'est désolant de parcourir des milliers de kilomètres pour avoir un ciel gris, mais il est possible d'arranger un peu en WS
Je n'ai pas voulu mettre un ciel bleu cela aurait dénaturé l'image
ourania (51103) 2014-01-26 2:52
Hola Angel,
despite the difficult lighting conditions, you captured a very sharp, clear and detailed view of this characteristic scenery. I like very much the upward point of view, the setting looks very imposing and interesting and there's an appealing 3D effect too. Perspective and framing have been combined very effectively, the traditional architecture is very attractive and you have exalted its graphism. Congratulations and thank you!
All the best, have a lovely day,

Next Episode of Masterpiece is
This epic U.S. television series from PBS has been on the air since 1971 and can boast of more than 1,200 episodes. Originally known as Masterpiece Theatre, it all began with a twelve-part series titled "The First Churchills" (based on books by Sir Winston Churchill) and it's mission since then has been to bring quality British productions to screens in the U.S.
In 2008, PBS dropped the word Theatre from the show, and it became known simply as Masterpiece. A format change also occurred and the show was split into three different segments spanning the calendar year. PBS' affiliated program Mystery! was also reformatted at this time and incorporated into Masterpiece as the Masterpiece Mystery! segment. In winter and spring, each new season begins with Masterpiece Classic episodes featuring signature period dramas; in summer months, Masterpiece Mystery! presents the best British mysteries; and in the fall, Masterpiece Contemporary airs dramas set in modern times.
Accolades include being the recipient of more than 51 Primetime Emmy and 17 Peabody awards. This show is truly a Masterpiece and many productions are now available on DVD for home enjoyment.
Looks like something went completely wrong!
But don't worry - it can happen to the best of us,
- and it just happened to you.
Please try again later or contact us.

AAFP President Reid Blackwelder, M.D., of Kingsport, Tenn., is a glass-half-full kind of guy who isn't afraid of confronting challenges head on, and he thrives on finding solutions.
First and foremost a family physician, AAFP President Reid Blackwelder, M.D., makes sure that he spends time building relationships with his patients, including Perry Ann Butler and her son, Coburn, age 15.
In a recent interview with AAFP News Now, Blackwelder says he is prepared to lead the Academy into a new health care era that includes a strong emphasis on quality improvement, payment reform and value. He knows all too well that health care policy decisions often are divisive but stresses that compromise can turn tough situations into a win-win for everyone.
Blackwelder's plans for his presidential year include taking his can-do attitude into discussions about family medicine scope of practice, graduate medical education, student interest in the specialty and more.
Q. You will be the face of family medicine in Washington for the next 12 months. What will be the focus of your message to legislators?
A. Even though I'm excited that legislators are finally talking about primary care, their definition is different than ours. I want legislators to start using the term "family medicine" in place of the more general term "primary care." That transition will be a game-changer.
The reality is that primary care provided by family physicians is more comprehensive than that provided by some other primary care professionals, such as nurse practitioners. Our legislators need to make informed decisions, and the Academy can help by highlighting the value of family medicine, the level of training family physicians receive and the high quality care we deliver to our patients. Our words can serve as a powerful tool.
Q. You are assuming the top leadership position of the AAFP as the country prepares to implement the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act. How can family physicians best prepare for that transition?
A. As family physicians, we have to stay on the cutting edge and continue to adapt and grow even as we keep doing what we do best: taking care of our patients. For the first time in a very long time, there is potential for us to be valued in this country as payment reform moves away from volume-based payments. Our scope of training is exactly what it needs to be to take care of people. But as more of us relinquish pieces of family medicine -- such as obstetrical care and hospital call -- it changes our role.
Even if we're not seeing patients in the hospital or delivering babies, we still need to coordinate that patient care. The key to this is relationships! If a hospital system says you have to admit your patients to a particular hospitalist group that you don't know, pick up the phone, call the group and schedule dinner. Reframe the conversation by asking, "How can we best care for our patients?"
Q. How can family physicians demonstrate to medical students the important role that family medicine plays in America's health care system?
AAFP President Reid Blackwelder, M.D., center, shown here with second-year medical students at the James H. Quillen College Medicine in Johnson City, Tenn., enjoys interacting with medical students and says teaching keeps him young.
A. We need to reflect our passion for our specialty. All physicians have bad days, but medical students are especially sensitive to our moods. When students see us interacting with our patients and enjoying what we do, it helps demonstrate why we went into family medicine and creates an image students will remember and a story they will retell.
Take that one step further. Invite a local medical student who is home for the holidays this year to shadow you in your practice for a day, and maybe that student will, for the first time, consider family medicine.
Q. What's the best part of working with medical students and family medicine residents in your various roles at Eastern Tennessee State University?
A. It keeps me young and energized. About the time I finish extended time with students, I've got residents who need me, and when residents aren't around, I've got my own patients to see. I absolutely love the variety that teaching adds to patient care.
Q. There's a lot of talk about the need to grow America's primary care workforce. What legislative or policy changes should be considered to alleviate the shortage?
A. A critical part of getting more students into the primary care pipeline is for legislators and policymakers to prove, through payment reform, that the health care system values what family medicine has to offer. Period. Do that, and the students will come.
We also need legislative reforms that ensure that our medical education system has a commitment to meeting the needs of the country. There is a social mission that needs to be integrated into medical education.
Q. America's health care system is rapidly evolving in the wake of health information technology, quality assurance initiatives and experimentation with new payment models. Have you seen any positive change in the past year?
A. As promised, I, along with the other AAFP officers, went directly to CMS with supporting data in hand to propose a major change in payment strategy. We asked CMS to recognize the comprehensiveness of family medicine office visits coded at 99213 and 99214 levels. We requested the creation of a new evaluation and management category, and I am encouraged that CMS was open to having that conversation.
Q. What's your biggest concern when it comes to ensuring appropriate payment for the primary care services that family physicians provide to patients across the country?
A. The biggest obstacle to payment reform is the entrenchment of the fee-for-service model. Some fee-for-service payment makes sense, but the trap lies in getting all parties -- especially legislators and subspecialists -- to agree to the size and shape of the fee-for-service piece in new payment models.
In addition, how we define quality improvement, outcomes and value is so important, and we have to get it right. The last thing family physicians want or need is more administrative burdens and check boxes that serve billing purposes but don't improve patient care.
Q. What can the Academy do to help small family medicine practices -- particularly those in rural America -- keep their doors open?
A. I hear those cries for help. The Academy has created a taskforce to address some critical issues faced by all of our members. I especially need physicians from small family medicine practices to tell me about their specific practice challenges.
In the meantime, remember that no one truly goes it alone. In every community, we have resources all around us. I suggest that family physicians get involved in their local health departments, attend medical staff meetings and collaborate with their colleagues who are in similar-size practice environments.
Q. You're going to have a busy year. How do you unwind in your down time?
A. My wife Alex and I relax at our home. It's nice to just sit on the back deck and be in the woods. I also enjoy my shop where I make wooden pens and craft jewelry with beads and gemstones I've been collecting for years. Wednesday evenings are sacred for Alex and me, and it's the best night of the week. I teach a meditative Yin yoga class with a group of eight to 10 friends, followed by dinner at our favorite Italian restaurant.

It sounds like you're doing the job of what would take a team to do with this mod. Pretty much the only issue is the invisible part problem (and the easily avoidable crashes I guess) so don't get too discouraged. There's some real progress here and it could lead to the production of even more mods. I wish you luck. If there's any way I can help I will.
Well if this needs a team, does that mean DI needs an AAA studio...?

Ending the 'Slavocracy'
Slavery is alive and well today. Recent estimates put the number of people in bondage at 27 million worldwide. The abolition of modern-day slavery is an urgent matter; in the words of Pope John Paul II, slavery constitutes a shocking offence against human dignity and a grave violation of fundamental human rights.
Times of India reports that in Bihar state alone there are around 8,300
bonded laborers, including children. Bonded labor is the most widespread form
of slavery in India. And because of that, the economic dimension should not be
overlooked as part of a long-term strategy for permanently eradicating the demand
for slaves.
A person becomes a bonded laborer often as a means of paying off a loan. Kevin Bales, in Disposable People: New Slavery in the Global Economy, explains that debts arise from two main sources: (1) an urgent crisis such as illness, injury, or famine, or (2) the need to pay for death rites or marriage celebrations. To pay for such expenses in a climate of abject poverty, the poor resort to borrowing money from local moneylenders or landowners who demand the only collateral available: the labor of their families or children.
Human Rights Watch tells of a boy, Ramesh, 13, who was sold into bondage in 1993 for about 2,500 India rupees (US $55), so that his parents could get an advance to purchase a house. Until recently, he worked six and a half days a week, from 7:00 am to 9:00 PM, rolling, by hand, about 1500 cigarettes. If he rolled fewer than his quota, he was beaten.
In 2001, International Justice Mission (IJM), an
advocacy group that brings oppressors such as Rameshs employer to justice and
mobilizes intervention for victims, rescued a boy named Sridhar. Sridhar had been
sold into slavery at the age of ten, for about 1,500 Indian rupees (US $33), so
that his family could buy necessities to live. To pay back the debt, the moneylender
sent Sridhar to make cigarettes under horrible conditions. In many cases, however,
the debts can never be repaid, because workers are intentionally underpaid, charged
extra fees, or indebted further by their borrowing more money to purchase medical
supplies or meet other needs.
In January of 2002, IJM discovered a rock quarry in India where entire families were slave laborers. These families, including children, were regularly forced to break rocks with hammers for ten to twelve hours per day in order to pay back small loans and other debts. This type of slavery, nearly 1,500 years old in India, still exists, even though debt bondage was outlawed there officially in 1976 under the Bonded Labour System (Abolition) Act.
Gary Haugen, the president of IJM, who was recently profiled in Forbes Magazine, has outlined his groups unique tactic using the rule of law to remove the economic incentives for slavery. IJM raises the slave owners cost of doing business by working with local authorities to gather evidence of abuse and take that evidence to prosecutors. The conviction of a few perpetrators, who end up facing incarceration or harsh fines, sends a strong message that this practice is not worth the trouble, legally or economically.
The economic
environment of India is also relevant to the cause of eliminating slavery. Confronted
with few options, many freed families find themselves back in slavery, trying
to pay off new debts. Part of the solution, then, is increasing the number of
adequately-paying jobs, making desperate borrowing unnecessary. This will come
as a culture of entrepreneurship expands. In addition to relief work and aid,
India needs an entrepreneurial revolution.
Bales describes the twofold threat that the growing middle class thanks in part to the prosperity fostered by American businesses moving to India poses to the current slavocracy. First, Indias middle-class workers, the beneficiaries of the countrys new industries and services, are buying up farmland as it becomes available. Indias middle-class landowners are more likely to use modern farming techniques to increase production and lower labor costs, reducing the demand for slaves. The more Indian agriculture is mechanized, the less profit the landlords will make from the use of an outmoded system like bonded labor. The dream of peasant farmers everywhere in India is a mechanized future. A farm with slaves simply cannot compete with a mechanized one.
Second, the Indian middle class is gaining political power that threatens the corrupt relationship between the government and slave-wielding landowners. The middle class has already initiated a crackdown on official corruption and promoted increased voter registration among lower castes and tribal groups. The middle class is simply pulling the rug out from under slave oppressors and corrupt government officials by owning more property and politically empowering those at the bottom of Indias caste system.
While organizations such as IJM do the initial work of providing liberty for slaves, the next step is to provide an economic environment that discourages a return to the practice of slavery. This naturally includes a strong rule of law, economic development, and a shifting of power from large landowners to average Indian citizens.
As such, the news that many U.S. firms are moving to India carries with it the promise of an unintended consequence: contributing to the ending of slavery in that country. The continued prosecution of slave masters and the proliferation of business allow more families to take care of their own needs and provide a context for political equality both important factors in the production of lasting freedom.

The Sunday Salon: On Memoirs
The Horizontal World by Debra Marquart (she was my major professor at Iowa State)
The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls
Night by Elie Wiesel's
The Nazi Officer's Wife by Edith Hahn Beer
I Have Lived a Thousand Years by Livia Bitton-Jackson
The Prizewinner of Defiance, Ohio by Terry Ryan
The Color of Water by James McBride
Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life by Amy Krouse Rosenthal
A Very Small Farm by William Paul Winchester
Last night I finished another one which will go right up there in my list of favorites: The Sky Isn't Visible from Here by Felicia C. Sullivan. This is Sullivan's memoir of growing up in Brooklyn with an unstable, selfish, cocaine-using mother. I'm going to give this a proper review later this week, but my recommendation is to go out and buy or borrow this book. It is beautifully well-written and mesmerizing.
Books I've reviewed this week:
Briar Rose by Jane Yolen
Blue Ridge by T. R. Pearson
More Than You Know by Beth Gutcheon
I have unbelievably added only one book to my TBR list this week: Skeletons at the Feast by Chris Bohjalian, reviewed at The Magic Lasso. Of course I haven't yet read 90% of this week's Sunday Salon posts, so I'll no doubt have a few new titles to add later today.
If you'd like to participate in The Sunday Salon, you can sign up here.
Also, I'm just linking to this post because I think it's so excellent: Becky's Book Reviews: The Sunday Salon: Finding Yourself in Books

I have three of the memoirs you've listed, The Glass Castle, Night, and The Color of Water, on Mt. TBR.
I recently read Hope's Boy, which is Andrew Bridge's memoir of his life in foster care. It's a moving book.

Try reading The Liars Club by Mary Karr. I think it's the best memoir I've read. Ever.
- July 21, 2008 at 11:04 AM
I also love memoirs and creative nonfiction. Two I've read in the last year or so that really stand out are Paul Monette's Becoming A Man: Half a Life Story and Alison Smith's Name All the Animals . Coincidentally, they are both about sexual identity...more importantly, they are touching, well-written, and inspiring.

I've always loved reading memoirs, too. Haven't read any of the ones you mention, though. Two of my favorites are Hemingway's A Moveable Feast, and Shakespeare and Company by Sylvia Beach - both about the writing life in Paris during the 1920s. If I could have lived in any other time and place I think I'd choose then and there.

I'm going to try to find the Bohjalian book also- I loved Midwives.

Great review of "Encyclopedia of an Ordinary Life" I read this awhile back and adored it, she had such an original idea that really brought her memoir to life.
- July 21, 2008 at 7:18 PM
I'm also a memoir fan, and love The Glass Castle. For some reason, tales of dysfunctional childhoods appeal to me :)

I rarely read memoirs , but now that you have recommended them as good reads , I'll try to buy one and see if I can enjoy.
Thanks for sharing.

CHICAGO (Reuters) - Vaccinating boys against the virus that causes cervical cancer and genital warts does not appear to be cost-effective, U.S. researchers said on Thursday.
Assuming all girls get the shot, adding boys to a national vaccination program may not be worth the expense, they said.
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration is weighing whether to approve Gardasil — Merck & Co's vaccine against human papillomavirus — for use in boys and men ages 9 to 26 to protect them from genital warts and prevent them from spreading the virus to their sexual partners.
"What our results imply is for the resources expended, there may be better uses and other health interventions that would increase health gains in the population," Jane Kim of the Harvard School of Public Health, whose study appears in the British Medical Journal, said in a telephone interview.
Gardasil is approved for use in girls and young women to protect against certain strains of the virus.
And the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommends the shot for 11- and 12-year-old girls and for women 13 to 26 who have not been vaccinated.
The vaccine had global sales of $1.4 billion in 2008, with an additional $865 million received through a joint venture with Sanofi-Aventis.
But growth has slowed recently in markets where the initial group of eligible teenage girls has now been immunized.
The company is now seeking approval for use in boys and men. In clinical trials, the vaccine has been shown to offer a high degree of protection, Kim said.
"Even though it might be beneficial, whether or not the benefits are worth the investment is what we sought to evaluate," she said.
She and colleague Sue Goldie used data from clinical trials, population studies and cost data to develop computer models to simulate the benefits of the vaccine over time.
They included the benefits of preventing cervical cancers, genital warts and a rare respiratory condition called recurrent respiratory papillomatosis that a pregnant woman with genital warts can pass to her baby.
To decide this, they calculated quality-adjusted life years, a figure that takes into account the impact of disease on quality of life.
They found using the vaccine in girls was well within the threshold for good value. But when they added boys into the equation, the benefits did not outweigh the costs.
Kim said the vaccine is new, so all the health benefits of giving the vaccine to boys may not be known.
And the study assumes that 75 percent of girls will get the vaccine and be protected from cervical cancer.
"If coverage in girls ends up being low, then vaccinating boys became much more attractive," she said.
Kim said the findings do not suggest that the FDA should not approve the vaccine in boys, but that it might not be cost-effective to recommend routine vaccination in boys.

As an avid photobook enthusiast I have gone to great lengths to see books that are far out of my reach economically. I have spent countless hours at photobook auction previews just to carefully flip the pages of rarities that will be sold for thousands of dollars. I have no intent to bid or buy, or to check the condition which is the main reason for attending previews. My reasoning is just to experience and gauge my own level of interest (albeit quickly) concerning what are the important titles of photobook history. When so much material is out of reach, one depends almost entirely on the scholars and historians as a guide, but in the end it is all subjective. This is why I am so happy that MACK has succeeded in creating a facsimile edition of the Italian photographer Luigi Ghirri's 1978 book Kodachrome. On the anniversary of Ghirri's death, I finally have the chance after so many years to have the opinion that it's, well, not my cup of tea.
Luigi Ghirri came to photography in 1970 with an interest in the conceptual side drawn from his training. One pursuit was the paradox of photography itself and uniting the real and the artificial, visible and invisible in the single image. Photographs in general, Ghirri believed, whether "art" or advertising, create a vast labyrinth of images to navigate daily through which it is difficult to decoding our true surroundings.
'The daily encounter with reality, the fictions, the surrogates, the ambiguous, poetic or alienating aspects, all seem to preclude any way out of the labyrinth, the walls of which are ever more illusory… to the point at which we might merge with them… The meaning that I am trying to render through my work is a verification of how it is still possible to desire and face a path of knowledge, to be able finally to distinguish the precise identity of man, things, life, from the image of man, things, and life.'
That, for me, is interesting to ponder philosophically but are the works in Kodachrome, in the words of essayist Francesco Zanot, "powerful devices for the re-education of the gaze?" This seems a modest collection through which many things can be projected, but without the textual introductions of the edition laying out the intent, or at least providing guidelines for reading, I don't see the photographs alone enabling the task. A small handful of the 92 images compel me to try — but most have me grappling just to keep my attention.
The qualities of the photography in Kodachrome call into question for me why this book seems so universally revered among the writers of photobook history. The major developments in color photography in general seem so often boiled down to the Americans "William Eggleston and Stephen Shore," whereas post-war European color photography books seem to get scant attention — even though one of the first true pioneers of color work was the Danish photographer Keld Helmer-Petersen with his 1948 book 122 Colour Photographs. Then the historical timeline of European photobooks continues along mostly in black and white until 1978 and the publication of Kodachrome? Are there no other landmark books between 1948 and 1978 that could also act as balance to the historical dominance of Eggleston's color?
Being that I approach most photography, my own and that of others, knowingly comfortable to be trapped within the labyrinth of illusion, aesthetics, style, and photography as the language of metaphor — Kodachrome is a deck stacked against me. It stands as the antithesis to my own practice where the visual component compels you to explore the relationship to the image before you.
Luigi Ghirri's Kodachrome was reissued by MACK in November, 2012. Twenty-five vintage color prints from the series were recently on view at Matthew Marks Gallery in New York.

"You want me out of the picture so you can have Lewbert to yourself!"
iFind Lewbert's Lost Love is the 6th episode of the third season of iCarly and the 56th episode overall.
Sam forgets her phone in Lewbert's office while preparing for a Messin' with Lewbert bit. She distracts Lewbert with dropping a box of golf balls and blames it on Freddie. While he is distracted, she enters his office and grabs her phone. When she sees a box of his "deeply personal items" while getting it back, she takes the box. Carly and her friends discover he was once a male model and dated a woman named Marta Trundel after watching a video showing moments they spent after the first two weeks of dating each other, and since he seemed happy with her, they decide to hook them up again. Unfortunately, Marta turns out to be an obsessive psychopath who was the main reason for Lewbert's misery (and wart), and they try and get her to leave again.
Sub-PlotMeanwhile, Spencer gets teamed up with his nemesis, Chuck, on the building watch patrol to stop a series of burglaries where the burglar steals only TV remotes. After catching a mysterious man who turns out to be carrying cookies, Spencer eventually finds out that Chuck was stealing the remotes because his dad banned him from watching TV for a month. Upstairs, Carly tries to talk Marta into moving on, to which Marta thinks that Carly is trying to get her to leave so she can date Lewbert. Chuck tries to run away, but instead he runs directly into the arms of two police officers. Before Spencer can reveal that Chuck stole the remotes, Lewbert takes the blame in order to get away from Marta. When he finds out that the sentence for the burglaries won't be long enough to avoid her, he slaps one of the cops, and gets locked up in jail.
- This episode holds the record for longest iCarly episode title (21 letters) plus the apostrophe, with iWanna Stay With Spencer in second.
- This is the only episode where Chuck appears without his father.
- Carly and Sam mention "chickpeas" on the webcast. This is a chiefly British term for what is known in America as garbanzo beans.
- This is the first episode where Lewbert actually deserves some sympathy.
- Marta Trundel is the second person in iCarly to go crazy over a guy. (The first was Lauren Ackerman.)
- The lyrics that Carly and Sam are chanting as they go through the lobby is from the song "Number One" by Ginger Fox, but that song is not yet introduced on the show until the episode iFix A Popstar. This is another continuity error caused by the difference between production and airing order.
- After Sam picks up Freddie, the remainder of the scene only shows her back as she walks out of the apartment. This was, presumably, a stunt double, since it is extremely unlikely that Jennette McCurdy could have carried Nathan Kress over her shoulder in this manner.
- Regardless of how strong Sam is, it would be physically impossible for her to lift something (or somebody) significantly heavier than she is without falling over. She might be able to push him away, but not lift him.
- It is revealed that Lewbert was once a male model.
- Some fans believed that the show had hired a younger, better-looking actor to pose as Lewbert in the modeling portfolio and the DVD from Marta. Dan Schneider stated on his blog that Jeremy Rowley did, in fact, play both the younger, wart-free Lewbert and the present-day Lewbert (whose much less attractive appearance is actually just a make-up job).
- This episode revealed how Lewbert got his wart.
- Much is learned about Lewbert's life in this episode, from childhood to recent years.
- The song played during Carly and Freddie's lobby fantasy sequence is the same one heard in iSell Penny-Tees where they were working with the kids.
- When Carly and Sam see Lewbert and Marta fight, Sam comments that if it was a real television show, it would be more popular than anything on NBC.
- When the man walks past Spencer and Chuck, he has a bag of Fig Nooters, which is a spoof of Fig Newtons.
- The woman who alerts Spencer and Chuck about her stolen remote controls is named "Mrs. Kravitz." This is a reference to the frantic, nosy neighbor from Bewitched played by Alice Pearce from 1964 to her death in 1966, when she was replaced by Sandra Gould.
- Mrs. Kravitz was played by Lara Jill Miller, who is best known for playing, coincidentally, the tomboyish Samantha "Sam" Kanisky on the 1980s sitcom Gimme A Break!. (The character of Sam Kanisky was initially a tomboy, but later developed into a more stereotypical boy-crazy teenaged girl.) Dan Schneider first hired Lara Jill Miller on The Amanda Show, where she played a production staffer who frequently came on stage to give Amanda bad news.
- When Carly is playing her Violin God solo in her game, you see her also play that solo in iSaved Your Life.
- Carly's violin actually has four colored buttons (green, blue, yellow, red) on it, just like a real "Guitar Hero" controller would. Dan Schneider applauded the props department for this, saying that he loved that kind of attention to detail.
- Lewbert says he moved to Seattle and changed his last name, but his new last name is never mentioned.
- In an extended scene from iCarly.com, we are shown when Lewbert pelted Sam and Carly with falaffel balls.
- The scene of Lewbert and Marta fighting in his office originally had a bit where Marta took a can of spraypaint and sprayed it all over Lewbert's television screen. Dan Schneider said that it was funny, but had to be cut for time.
- On Dan Schneider's blog, he challenged viewers to identify the cartoon playing on Lewbert's television, betting "a trillion dollars" that they couldn't. It only took six comments before somebody correctly identified the cartoon as Girly Cow. This is one of the few times the audience can see this cartoon, although it cannot be heard.
- In this episode, Carly says she's a vegetarian (she mentions such when Lewbert tells the trio to not touch his wart).
- After Lewbert is knocked down by the golf balls, Carly and Sam look into the camera and say, "It's in the hole!" in a silly voice. This was a reference to the popular 1980 comedy film Caddyshack. In that movie, Bill Murray (who is one of Dan Schneider's favorite comedy actors) was famous for how he said, "It's in the hole!" On his blog, Dan Schneider stated that Miranda Cosgrove and Jennette McCurdy had never seen the film, so he had to show them how to say the line.
- At the end of the episode, Lewbert is taken away by the police. It is stated that he would likely get 30 days for stealing the T.V. remotes, and 6 months for slapping one of the police officers. However, in the very next episode, IMove Out, Freddie states that he rented his new apartment from Lewbert, indicating that Lewbert was back at Bushwell Plaza. It was never explained how he apparently avoided the expected jail sentence, or why Marta did not seem to try to retake her place in his life after he was released.
- It was also never explained how or why Lewbert was able to keep his job as doorman of Bushwell Plaza after he confessed to burglarizing the building's apartments.
- When Marta and Lewbert are in his office, Marta attempts to reason with Lewbert to get him to go out with her, showing him that she has bought them tickets to The Seattle Philharmonic. It is a real classical orchestra, based out of Seattle; the conductor's daughter is actually a huge fan of the television show.
- Between two scenes, an LACMTA Metro Bus speeds in front of Bushwell Plaza. Since the series takes place in Seattle, the bus that runs in front of it should be from Sound Transit.
- After the scene in the lobby when Marta arrives, Lewbert pulls Carly into his office and the large round clock by the door reads 4:24. When Sam enters the clock still reads 4:24. As Carly tells Sam that Lewbert is in the corner rocking the clock has suddenly advanced to 4:29. Right after Lewbert says "Have you ever noticed this wart?" the clock has moved back to 4:24. After Lewbert says "It sprouted right after that devil came into my life" the clock is back to 4:29.
- In this episode there are several scenes filmed in the lobby of Bushwell Plaza when people walk in or out of the front door (first Carly and Sam, then Marta, then the police officers) - in the view looking out the front doors there is a planter box full of plants in front of the door that obscures the view of the street, whereas in exterior shots of the building there is no planter box, and the front door is clearly visible from the street.
- When Lewbert asks Carly and Sam "Have you seen this wart?", Carly and Sam both shook their heads, but, in iScream on Halloween, Lewbert shows his wart to Carly and Freddie. Carly should remember this and so should Lewbert.
- Carly claims she's a vegetarian, but she is shown eating meat in many episodes before, and in a credits segment, she asks Sam to order some chicken wings. It is likely that Carly made up that excuse to avoid touching Lewbert's wart.

Man: Ok, it's my favorite cookie, and my wife, she won't let me have them. So I tell her I'm going to the gym, but I'm not going to the gym. I go to the garage and eat as many Fig Nooters as I can. Please don't tell my wife! Please don't tell her, please.
Chuck: It's okay man.

And these signs shall follow them that believe; In my name shall they cast out devils; they shall speak with new tongues; They shall take up serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and they shall recover.
Mark 16:17-18
Are there modern day apostles walking just as Jesus did ?
Roaming the world freely, guided by God's hand ... Others, unexpectedly and regularly bless their peers in their workforce, homes, schools or wherever God may have placed them . As the scriptures have prophecied, signs, wonders and miracles follow these believers wherever they may go.
Laying hands is one of the signs of a believer ... True enough, vast numbers of people (from all faiths) have been the blessed recipient of these healings. The incurable now cured. The sick are freed from chronic conditions and diseases, liberated from wheelchairs, paraplegics once confined now freely walk, autism vanquished, cancers /tumours crushed, wounds healed, scars dissolved, the reappearance of baby skin, even brand, new teeth formed through the Holy Spirit. Broken bones and ribs knit, then repair themselves. Goiter, warts and ugly birthmarks are erased. Arthritis, and crippling conditions, can be healed instantly. Legs and limbs can be grown out in minutes. Stomach ulcers, headaches, sinus and asthma afflictions cured. The deaf now hear and yes even the blind begin to see.
Most often, these miracles have actually happened in seconds or even minutes. The Holy Spirit does not need time to do it's work. Though at times, the seed of healing is planted and it shows up surprising the individual in a few days or weeks. Miracles occur according the hand of the Holy Spirit and when they come, by their very nature they leave us in awe of the supernatural, a tangible reminder that God is real.
Though faith healing is not a new practice. It has been claiming victory after victory in many churches. The evangelist Dr Willard Fuller was a dentist in the 60's. He was baptised in the Holy Spirit and began to see a series of dental miracles such as cavities being filled with the porcelain formed from the Holy Spirit.Testimonies abound saying, " It's a miracle ! While you watch, you'll witness amalgam fillings turning to gold, while crooked teeth are straightened and, even quite often, new teeth can be seen growing in!"
Says Minister Barbara Waterhouse "During Rev. Fuller's hands on healing services, I have personally seen teeth move, silver fillings turn to gold, facial bone structure of the jaw move and shift into alignment, silver fillings appear, gold crowns appear and existing fillings disappear. This healing experience comes with my highest recommendation."
His healings were so unique and extraordinary, the book 'Can God fill teeth ?" was written by Dr Daniel Fry, documenting Dr Willard Fuller's miracles
' Porcelain fillings are common occurrences and are interesting because they are the ones most people can watch "grow in". The formation of the porcelain filling is fast enough that the change is apparent to the viewer and slow enough that many people get a chance to view the growing in at first hand. Where there are several cavities, one or two will be filled in gold and the rest in silver or porcelain. One cavity was filled with a ruby-like substance of a translucent quality. Several times a bronze metal has filled in. Twice spectators have seen a platinum-translucent-type metal. Two tiny cavities later contained fillings that sparkled like diamonds. '
Dr Fuller was truly a rare and anointed healer but the trend towards faith healing continues to grow in this day and age. What is prevalent of today, of the year 2012 ?Are Christian healers still rampantly expressing this bold power and demonstrations of God ?
Yes, and more so. I believe we can all agree that the Impossible has always been possible through God.
But what is changing and thus is so thoroughly exciting is the fact that many more everyday people are embracing this truth firmly enough to make it their reality ! All things have become possible by faith. Even AIDS patients are being healed of their disease. But the healings that triumph all others, is when death is defied and the dead are raised. Yes even death can be triumphed by using the name of Christ, and this too is becoming a relatively common occurrence.
Mind-boggling indeed, but there are limitless testimonies that are actually documented and backed up with medical records. In the old days, we heard of apostles and missionaries such a Smith Wigglesworth and John G Lake, who became legendary for their godly works and miracles. Both Wigglesworth and Lake experienced dramatic baptisms of the Holy Ghost that left them forever transformed and burning with a passion for God. Both were businessmen who released their old lives to preach and heal. Wigglesworth challenged the ordinary believer to become bold in his stand. He was aggressive and dramatic in his faith and was said to have never read any other book besides the Bible.
Wigglesworth shares that, " I am conscious today that God has a design for us greater than our thoughts even or our language, and so I am not frightened of on the line of the Spiritual Exaggeration, shall I say ... Begin to' believe on extravagant asking, believing that God is pleased when you ask large things ... let inspiration take whole charge of you, bring you out of yourself into the power of God, it may be today that God shall so transform you into another man as you have never been before." He demonstrated these claims with many miracles, including the raising of the dead.
As for the refined John G. Lake, once a wealthy businessman, he gave all his riches away to become a global missionary. So ablaze with the Holy Spirit, it is recorded that he healed hundreds of thousands of people. He spoke about his experience with the Holy Ghost saying, "You talk about the voltage from heaven and the power of God! Why there is lightning in the soul of Jesus! The lightnings of Jesus heal men by their flash! Sin dissolves and disease flees when the power of God approaches!"
But our modern day disciples are of a different nature from the apostles of old. These men and women of God whom you can access through social networking sites like facebook and twitter, post videos of their everyday healings. They're tech-savvy bloggers with youtube channels that document their miracles. Videos that go viral in order to guide the students who train under them.
These disciples, despite their supernatural abilities are not untouchable individuals. They are regular folks from different walks of life. Living extraordinary lives while remaining humble and unassuming. What stands out, is the emphasis that the healings are accomplished by the power of Christ and not by them.
Most of these healers are approachable and freely giving of their gifts. They may be students, young professionals, the mom next door, your grandparents, the fireman, your doctor, nurse or even the mechanic down the street ! There is NO stereotype, but there are several common denominators .
Confidence in God, great faith and an adoration for a Christ coupled with the dramatic boldness to step up and perform miracles in God's name. The focus is not on the healer, and the glory is always given to Jesus.
This new healing movement is a lifestyle not a singular event. Healings can happen daily, even several times a day. They are swift and uplifting for both the healer and the healed. The only orchestration by nature, is divine. Many Christians, being exposed to the fruits of faith are hungry to learn to heal. And numerous healing schools have formed all around the globe, training thousands of Christians to walk as disciples, performing healings wherever they may be.
There is the John G Lake Healing Ministry that is now headed by his successor Curry Blake. Any Christian can learn to heal, and their ' Divine Healing Training Program' is available online. So even if you're in the far off reaches of Africa, Russia, Alaska or the islands of Fiji, all it takes is a wifi connection to learn to do the miraculous in a matter of days or weeks. Their healing rooms are located around the world and people of all faiths may visit to receive a free healing.
Curry Blake is known to be a man, resolute in his dedication ," I can't say it enough, your life is transformed to the degree your mind is renewed. You want to transform your life? Then renew your mind." He goes on to share his approach to healing, saying " The Christian life is twofold: absolute humility and absolute boldness toward anything that is not of God ... Believers lay hands in the sick and they recover. Believe it, then act like you believe it. Faith requires an action. "
Then there are the Power & Love Conferences by Pastor Dan Mohler and Todd White of Neck Ministries. www.neckministries.com
Says Pastor Dan Mohler "I didn't pray a prayer to go to Heaven, Heaven came back inside of me because I'm created to live one with God by His Spirit. I'm not here to preach a doctrine to you. And I'm not here to preach a doctrine to the world. I'm here to manifest a life that lives on the inside of me because He wants to! "
Todd White exhorts " God is not just First place, He's Every place ! " He goes on to explain that the person being healed does not require any faith or belief in miracles, as the healing occurs based on the faith of the healer. Says Todd, " My Faith Trumps their Unbelief. "
These bold, personable men who exhibit a burning faith run hands-on workshops teaching students to heal, to prophecy and to develop a powerfully intimate relationship with God. Those who have stepped into Power & Love trainings have come out forever changed. Todd White demonstrates these God-given abilities through his TV show. Todd takes his extroverted personality out into the streets with the God Squad where he heals people as well as nurturing them with his effervescently generous, love and kindness.
Pete Cabrera Jr is based in Great Bend, Kansas and is the founder of the Royal Family International , "How can we proclaim something we do not know? … How would the average bible thumping believer reach those people who do not understand the gospel or have never heard the gospel for that matter. Simple, you show them that the God we serve shows up. He isn't just some random God. He is the creator of all the heavens and all creation and that he provides for them because he loves them. I didn't come to Preach the gospel , I came to live it .'
As a few years ago Pete was crippled by pain himself. He had back pains that were so excruciating they took over his life and kept him searching for medical solutions as well as for a divine healing. He decided to truly renew his mind to accept all the gifts that came with Salvation. He isolated himself within an empty room in his home, voraciously studying the Bible and worshipping God. This retreat into divinity went on for weeks on end. During this time, he attended church where a visiting pastor began to lay hands on an elderly lady. Pete says, "I saw something that I could not explain and I could not believe at the same time.I saw things moving on their own."
In the next instant, the pastor layed hands on Pete himself and he received a miraculous, instantaneous healing of his back problems. That moment was the beginning of a deepened relationship, love and gratitude for God. From that point he chose to dedicate himself to live like Christ and to heal others who were in pain. His passion for Christ is so vividly alive, he has been getting extraordinary results that are documented on film. These testimonies are posted on his youtube site www.youtube.com/kwisatz73
Healing is not a gift anointed to a rare few. It is the power and authority appointed to all Christians . Yes that means 'all' Christians can successfully heal when they make the step to walk as a true believer.
Unfortunately, in the past this power has been relatively unrecognized by the world at large , yet celebrated in Christian movements and churches. But we are amidst a real wave of transformation … and the masses are stepping forth to help heal their fellow man whoever in they are , whatever they might do or believe in.
The Holy Spirit breaks out at a football game
These healings are gifted free of judgement, regardless of one's background. Better than being Punk'd, the unassuming public gets healed to their astonishment ! And this life-changing moment could occur unbeknownstly in the supermarket , in the library, in the streets, in the malls, at a party … In fact , there is no telling where the need for healing may present itself, but wherever it shows up is where the healer steps in to gift it. True to the generous grace of God, all healings are free. They are given as a gift .
The Christian faith healers who follow scripture will not charge for his services.
So the query remains. How is this movement gaining such force and strength that men and women of all ages and walks of life are suddenly taking Jesus at his word and doing greater works than He did ? Questions abound … but the pragmatic reality seems to suggest that the Age of Miracles truly has returned.
Given the grand nature of this subject, let's start with the beginnings. A miracle … simply defined is an event that defies physical laws or reality. It suggests divine intervention as well as the Grace of God that has the capability to restructure any outcome.
Biblically, miracles appear to be a recurring element of Christianity. However they are by no means a chance or random event. Rather the miracle is a deliberate demonstration of the Power of God. A divine miracle always reveals God's benevolent will. And so it becomes a clear sign of God's truth for all those who witness it.
Let it be known that miracles are not for one's entertainment, they thus serve a purpose ""they are for edification and revelation: John 20:31 "But these are written, that ye might believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God; and that believing ye might have life through his name."
So does the Healer appear as the deus ex machine, breaking every form of logical structure to the plot of your life's story, boldly defying reality and pragmatic outcomes ?
The Latin term "god from the machine"; plural: dei ex machine, is a plot device whereby a seemingly unsolvable problem is suddenly and abruptly solved with the contrived and unexpected intervention of some new event, character, ability, or object. It can be roughly translated as "God made it happen," with no further explanation.
God does indeed show up, but His demonstration is not random. He arrives with a vividly clear explanation. The power and authority of ONE divine being, Christ is clearly being invoked to deliver God's will.
What is God's Will ? It abounds with Grace. Our amazingly loving Father's Will is for all to be healthy, wealthy, happy , thriving, living in harmony and absolute joy. Herein lies the driving force behind these signs and miracles that instead of ceasing with the times, appear now to be accelerating in number. Grace abounds from the finished work of Jesus, all sins have been paid for in full, and this includes any form of ill-heath.
Let's revisit the appearance of miracles, signs and wonders historically. We are well aware of the Biblical eras when miracles were rife. Quite specifically, they were witnessed in three major periods of time, known as the three majestic eras.
The 1st era occurs during the time of Moses and Joshua when we see the miracles of Exodus; the burning bush, the ten plagues of Egypt, the parting of the Red Sea, the crossing of Jordan, the fall of Jericho, the battle of Gibeon and more.
The 2nd era is observed during the ministries of Elijah and Elisha. God restored pure worship free of idolatry and miracles poured forth,. We see the miracle of Jonah, the two great miracles of Isaiah and the miracles of Daniel.
The 3rd era was during the time of Christ and his disciples. Close to 40 miracles of the demonstrative nature of God's power were documented in the Gospels, but many more were said to have occurred. In fact, even more were witnessed by his disciples and left unrecorded. In essence, miracles were so proliferous they could be said to be His norm.
Now each of these eras is less than a century long in the span of human history. Yet within these three brief periods of time, miracles did appear with much opulence. Yet God has not chosen to limit Himself and the Holy Spirit to those three periods of time. Rather, it is the men and women of great faith in God, as well as the son of God who were connected to the supernatural stream of goodness that is available to all who seek.
Today we are in a much superior position than the men and women of the past. Now in the era of the New Covenant, a time of new promises that arrived after the crucifixion of Christ. Under the terms of the New Covenant sealed in the blood of Christ, God has promised that His spirit will now live in us. We become the living temples that house the Holy Spirit.
And as Jesus prepared us, "Verily, verily, I say unto you, He that believeth on me, the works that I do shall he do also; and greater works than these shall he do; because I go unto my Father" John 14:12
It is no wonder that the Age of Miracles has returned with such a passionate, holy abandon. We are now better equipped to deliver the works of God. He lives in us and all those we come across can benefit from the Grace of God. Pain, infirmity, blindness , and so forth are not in our original design so by no means should it be allowed to continue. If a healing is what you need seek out a man or woman of God , ask for a quick prayer and begin to receive the Grace of God in its full majesty !

Hey volunteers
As there are many volunteers at the Forest who are interested in what we EVS are doing and how they can become EVS and go abroad themselves I'm organising an afternoon with a little talk about European Voluntary Service. I'll explain what it is and how you can get started, what restrictions and requirements there are etc. Some of the other EVS will also come round so we'll tell about our experience and answer all questions.
If you are interested in learning more about EVS (not so much at the Forest but in general), come! Thursday, 5pm in the Action Room. Spread the word if you know anybody who might be interested!
EVS Info Afternoon - Thursday, April 1st, 5pm in Action Room

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The Pentagon on Thursday told Congress that a recent restructuring of its heavy rocket launch program to add 60 more launches and extend the schedule for a decade would more than double the program's projected cost to $70.7 billion.
The Defense Department's annual report to Congress on major arms programs forecast an increase of $35.7 billion or 102 percent in the Air Force's Evolved Expendable Launch Vehicle (EELV) program, under which contractors provide launch services to lift big U.S. military, intelligence and NASA satellites into orbit.
A Pentagon spokeswoman said the increase reflected plans for a total of 151 launches, up from 91, and a 10-year extension of the current schedule from fiscal year 2018 through fiscal 2028.
Seeking to combat continued cost increases, the Air Force last year restructured the EELV program to allow for more block buys of larger numbers of satellite launches, and to inject more competition in the longer term. This is the first Pentagon cost report that reflects the restructured program.
The Government Accountability Office, a congressional watchdog agency, in March estimated the cost of the revamped program at $69.6 billion.
United Launch Alliance (ULA), a joint venture run by the two largest rocket launch providers, Lockheed Martin Corp and Boeing Co, has been the only provider of EELV launch services up to now, but the Air Force is trying to open the program to competition from other companies.
ULA spokeswoman Jessica Rye said the company was encouraged by the Air Force's innovative new acquisition strategy and would continue to work with the government to further reduce costs in coming years.
Elon Musk, founder and chief executive of privately owned Space Exploration Technologies, or SpaceX, said his company could save the Pentagon more than $1 billion a year by providing greater lift capability using its new Falcon Heavy rocket.
"Falcon Heavy can carry satellites that weigh up to twice as much as Delta IV Heavy, so there is the opportunity to do bigger satellites or multi-satellite flights," Musk said in a statement. For instance, he said, the company plans to launch 10 satellites per flight for satellite operator Iridium.
SpaceX had been hoping for years to break the monopoly on military rocket launches held by ULA. It landed its first launch contracts for the U.S. military last December, including one involving the Falcon Heavy rocket that is due to fly in 2015.
U.S. Air Force officials say they want to study the company's performance on smaller launches before awarding it a contract to launch an expensive national security satellite.
In its report to Congress, the Pentagon said the Air Force was continuing to implement cost-cutting strategies for the EELV program, by expanding its insight into the contractors' costs, and implementing better cost management procedures.

Unofficial DataVolley Statistics * Official Match Statistics
COLORADO SPRINGS, Colo. (May 18, 2012) – Perhaps showing the strain of its rigorous early season schedule, the U.S. Men's National Volleyball Team fell to France, 17-25, 25-20, 26-24, 25-17 on Friday in their opening pool play match of the 2012 FIVB World League in Florence, Italy.
The U.S. Men (0-1), ranked No. 6 in the world by the FIVB, will try to come back on Saturday (8 a.m. PT) against Korea while France (1-0), ranked No. 21 in the world, will play host Italy. The U.S. will play Italy on Sunday (11:30 a.m. PT).
The U.S. Men are coming off the six-day, eight-team NORCECA Men's Continental Olympic Qualification Tournament, which they won with a 5-0 record while dropping only one set.
"We started the game well, but after the first set we fell asleep," U.S. Men's Team Captain Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawaii) said in an FIVB press release.
After a strong first set on Friday, the U.S. Men saw France turn up its blocking pressure while Team USA struggled with its serve. France led 8-1 in aces while the U.S. Men had 17 service errors as compared to 14 for France. France led in digs 52-37 and in receptions 49-42.
"We couldn't follow our technical plan, but we made a lot of mistakes in reception," U.S. Head Coach Alan Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.) said in an FIVB release. "Definitely we weren't focused on the match."
France out-attacked the U.S. Men, 50-46 while the United States led in blocks 15-10. However five of the U.S. blocks came in the first set.
Opposite Clay Stanley (Honolulu, Hawaii) led the United States with 17 points on 12 kills (52.2 kill percent, .435 hitting efficiency) and a team-high five blocks. Outside hitter Matt Anderson (West Seneca, N.Y.) added 14 points on a team-high 13 attacks (46.4 kill percent, .321 hitting efficiency) and one ace. Middle blocker David Lee (Alpine, Calif.) totaled 10 points on seven attacks (63.6 kill percent, .455 hitting efficiency) and three blocks.
Marien Mareau and Earvin Ngapeth each scored 16 points for France. Kevin Le Roux added 13.
Outside hitter Reid Priddy (Richmond, Va.) scored nine points on seven kills and two blocks. Middle blocker Russell Holmes (Fountain Valley, Calif.) amassed six points on three attacks and three blocks.
Setter Donald Suxho (Korce, Albania) totaled three points on one kill and two blocks. He also set the team to a 46.0 kill percent and a .320 hitting efficiency.
Outside hitters Paul Lotman (Lakewood, Calif.) and Riley Salmon (League City, Texas) along with middle blocker Ryan Millar (Alpine, Utah) each scored one point with an attack.
U.S. Head Coach Alan Knipe (Huntington Beach, Calif.) started Anderson and Priddy at outside hitter, Holmes and Lee at middle blocker, Stanley at opposite and Suxho at setter. Rich Lambourne (Tustin, Calif.) is the designated libero for the tournament.
Lotman started the fourth set for Priddy and Millar started for Holmes. David McKienzie (Littleton, Colo.) and Salmon played as substitutes.
Anderson got the U.S. off to a good start in the first set, serving to a 3-0 lead with the U.S. scoring on a Priddy kill, Lee block and French hitting error. The U.S. led 8-6 at the first technical timeout (TTO). The teams traded points until The U.S. led 9-8 and France served into the net. A French hitting error followed by an Anderson kill put the U.S. ahead 12-8. The U.S. led 16-11 at the second TTO. With the U.S. ahead 17-12, Holmes scored with an attack, followed by two U.S. blocks to put Team USA up 20-12. The U.S. reached set point at 24-17 on France's serving error and won the set on Frances net violation. The U.S. out-blocked France in the set 5-1 led by Stanley and Lee who each had two.
The U.S. Men continued the pressure at the net in the second set and took an 8-5 lead at the first TTO, including three more blocks. The U.S. was leading 15-12 when it served into the net. France scored three more straight points on a block, kill and ace to lead 16-15 at the second TTO. France extended the lead to 20-17. The U.S. scored on a Stanley block, but France scored the next four points on two blocks and two attacks off the block to reach set point at 24-18. The U.S. scored on a Priddy attack and Holmes blocks, but France called timeout and won the set on a U.S. service error.
The teams opened the third set tied at 5-5 when France scored twice to take a 7-5 lead. It led 8-6 at the first TTO. The U.S. Men pulled into an 8-8 tie on a Stanley kill and a block, but with the score tied 9-9, France got a quick kill and a block to take back the lead. France led 16-14 at the second TTO. Troubled by service errors, the U.S. Men struggled to catch up and took a timeout when France went ahead 21-18 on an ace. France led 23-20 when Anderson scored with an attack and France followed with a hitting error. France called timeout and the next U.S. serve went out of bounds to give France set point at 24-22. The U.S. fought it off with a Stanley attack and a block to tie the score at 24-24. But France used a tip and Moreau attack to win the set, 26-24.
France led 16-8 at the second TTO of the fourth set and increased the lead on an ace and kill, causing the U.S. to call timeout. France's next serve went out of bounds and the U.S. scored again on an Anderson ace. However France came back with an attack. With France leading 21-11, its serve went out of bounds and the U.S. scored on a Salmon kill and Suxho block to cut the lead to 21-14. France called timeout and the next U.S. serve went into the net. France reached match point at 24-16 on a Ngapeth attack of the block. France's next serve went into the net, but it won the match on a block.

DES MOINES, Iowa -- Devyn Marble scored a season-high 30 points as Iowa beat Northern Iowa 80-73 Saturday in the inaugural Big Four Classic.
Freshman Mike Gesell added a career-best 23 points for the Hawkeyes (9-2), who have won four in a row after a brief two-game skid in late November.
Iowa buried a season-high nine 3-pointers in the first half alone, jumping ahead 40-32. The Panthers stayed within a few possessions for much of the second half but couldn't quite erase Iowa's lead.
Deon Mitchell had 23 points to lead Northern Iowa (6-4), whose losses have come against Louisville, Stanford, Memphis and the Hawkeyes.
