New resources for schools. The Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence and the Domestic Violence Network have created a policy document, adopted by The Indiana Department of Education, to help schools enact a policy to prevent teen dating abuse. Titled "Best Practice Template of Policies and Practices for the Prevention of Teen Dating Abuse and Sexual Harassment," this document is available by clicking here.
When we think about a social problem, the policies and practices in place in our organizations may not be our first thought. But organizational policies formally articulate our standards, and as such, they are a critical building block of a healthy organizational climate. This matters. Because teens spend most of their time in organizations (schools, youth groups, Boys and Girls Clubs, 4-H, etc.), and because they are the spaces where youth interact, teen dating violence (TDV) happens there. By preventing TDV within youth serving organizations, AND by creating broad buy-in for healthy relationships in those settings, we will reduce the prevalence of this social problem among teens.

By implementing healthy relationship policies we are clearly establishing behavioral expectations; by sharing the policy with constituents—youth, parents and staff—we add a broad, collaborative base of support for those expectations; and by acting on the policy when we see problematic behaviors, we are reinforcing respectful relationships as an organizational norm. Because teens spend so much of their time in organizations, it is reasonable to believe that the norms established there will also strongly influence their thinking and behavior outside of those settings.
It's more than just words
Many people think that policy is just words—words that frequently gather dust in a file cabinet rather than informing what goes on in organizations. There are strategies for creating great policies that "live in the air" rather than in the filing cabinet. And kids may not be able to actually recite an organizational policy, but they can probably tell you what expectations are, and what they think they can "get away with". Schools are legally required by Title IX to implement policies and procedures that prevent and address sexual abuse and harassment (follow this link for a summary overview of students' rights regarding sexual harassment and sexual violence in schools from the Department of Education's Office for Civil Rights: http://www2.ed.gov/about/offices/list/ocr/docs/title-ix-rights-201104.pdf).
Other youth serving organizations may not have the same legal responsibility to enact such policies, but it is in all of our interest to promote safe, healthy and respectful environments. In addition to describing our behavioral expectations, organizational policies can guide our response to abusive behaviors including accommodations for victims and accountability for offenders. A good policy helps us to define the problem, to work to prevent it before it occurs, and to address early warning signs before abusive behaviors escalate.
A well planned and implemented policy is more than just words, but it honestly isn't rocket science. Folks who don't have experience working with policy may find the very word frightening, but policy basically provides us with a map that describes our standards, how we will implement them, and what we will do when things go wrong. Whether advocating for policy, writing the language, or supporting the implementation, we can all take an active role in policy work.
Advocating for policy
How you get started in working to implement a healthy relationship policy will probably depend on your position. If you are in a decision making position within a youth serving organization, you may already be poised to jump in reviewing your existing policy and making recommendations. Most of us will need to do some advance work to secure buy-in for the adoption of strong organizational anti-harassment and abuse policies. The following points offer strategic advice to assist you in making that case.
- Evaluate the organizational environment.Strategies for this assessment might include reading organizational publications and asking key informants including teens, members of staff and parents. Prior to making the case for policy work, it makes sense to think about what's going on in the organization that you'd like to work with. This approach will help you to identify possible opportunities, barriers and potential allies.
- What are the organization's protocols, priorities, challenges, strengths?
- Is this a crazy time in their calendar?
- Determine what individuals or groups you must persuade.Determining the key stakeholders will help you to frame an effective case.
- Who makes policy decisions for your organization?
- If this organization is a branch of a national organization, are they empowered to create a local policy?
- What voices are best poised to influence those you seek to persuade?
- Identify key allies. Broad-based support is most effective for any initiative. Who can help you to make this case?
- Organizational allies
- Youth members
- Parents
- Other invested members of your broader community—domestic and sexual violence prevention programs, members of your domestic violence task force, etc.
- Make your case.
- Schedule a meeting with key organizational decision makers
- Use information from your environmental scan to tailor your discussion of the problem and solutions to your organization
Developing and implementing policy
When you've secured the necessary buy-in and are prepared to review your organizational policies and procedures, you may decide that it makes the most sense to adapt your existing policy, or to build a new one from the ground up. But you don't need to start from scratch. There are many existing policy models available that can help to guide your thinking as you form a policy that meets your needs. Schools have led the way in the development of healthy relationship policies so most existing models were developed for that environment. But the standards of effective policies used in schools can be modified for use in other youth serving organizations. Here are some suggestions for policy review and development.
- Convene a group of stakeholders. In order to form policy that is relevant and feasible, it is critical to invite participation from folks who know what is going on. This will be most effective if you include representation from across the organization including members of staff, administration, youth and parents.
- Consider your environment.How would you characterize the social norm for interactions between youth in your organization? Possible sources might include organizational disciplinary records, focus group conversations or interviews with key informants.
- What are organizational strengths and protections that you can enhance? Who's modeling healthy behaviors? Who are effective peer leaders?
- What problematic behaviors are you seeing/hearing about? Verbal harassment? Sexual harassment? Physical abuse?
- Reviewing existing policy, procedures and practices.
- Does our policy meet our needs?
- Is it consistently applied across the organization?
- Review model policy guidelines.The national Start Strong teen dating violence prevention project has identified core elements of a comprehensive TDV prevention policy for schools. A description of each of those elements, with links to resources that can help with implementation are provided below.5. Prioritize feasible changes for your organization.
- Determine who is responsible for implementation
- Establish an implementation timeline
- Evaluate your progress.
- Determine a process and date for reviewing your progress
- Did we implement the new policies and practices that we planned?
- Are we seeing the behavioral and environmental changes that we sought?
- If yes, how will we sustain this success?
- If not, did we implement our new standards?
- Are they consistently applied across the organization?
- Is it feasible to add new points of intervention or support?
- Who else can help us to secure buy-in?
- Determine a process and date for reviewing your progress
The following information from the national Start Strong TDV prevention program describes the core elements of a comprehensive TDV prevention policy and provides resources to support the implementation of those elements. Though designed with a focus on the legal and educational parameters of the school setting, these components can be adapted for other youth serving organizations.

The final 24.9 seconds of Saturday night's game were quite eventful for DeMarcus Cousins.
First, with the Kings down 101-98, he absorbed a shot below the belt on an inbound play.
Then he absorbed contact from Dwight Howard on a shot attempt from 22 feet. No foul was called, and Howard was credited with a blocked shot.
John Salmons grabbed the rebound, and the ball ended up with Cousins, who launched a 26-foot three-pointer that came up short with 13.9 seconds to go.
In the end, the Kings left the floor frustrated by how the whistles went in a 103-98 loss to the Los Angeles Lakers in front of an announced sellout crowd of 17,317 at Sleep Train Arena. Their last sellout was the season opener.
More than one King said it was obvious Cousins had been fouled.
"I knew he would jump," Cousins said. "So I tried to get him in the air and on my back. It's unfortunate."
Cousins admitted he could have made a better choice with the second shot.
"I kind of rushed, and I just ended up taking it," said Cousins, who had 19 points and 11 rebounds. "It was a bad choice, and I'm still comfortable with the shot."
Kings coach Keith Smart said the play was designed to go to Marcus Thornton, but the Lakers denied him the ball.
"Then you're stuck with a play," Smart said. "Some calls looked different to me. I'll have to look at the film to see where the truth really was."
There also was confusion as to why starting point guard Isaiah Thomas played just 25 seconds in the fourth quarter and starting power forward Jason Thompson didn't play at all. Thompson was having a good game (15 points), and Thomas had 10 points and five assists.
In the backcourt, Smart opted to use Tyreke Evans (21 points, nine rebounds, six assists) and Thornton (18 points, seven rebounds).
Smart played Patrick Patterson at power forward in the fourth even though he missed all four of his shots. Patterson was in the game because of his pick-and-roll defense, Smart said. The coach added he "took a chance" Patterson would help the Kings get in position to win.
"Some nights, the coach will make a decision that works, and some nights, they make one that doesn't," Smart said.
Thompson has been benched in fourth quarters before and been diplomatic. But considering he had made seven of his 10 shots, he didn't know why he sat the entire fourth.
"I guess it's about time I said something," Thompson said. "I don't know why I didn't."
Thompson joked he might use social media for suggestions on how to get Smart's attention.
"At times I try to do that, but I'm not a captain or anything," Thompson said. "I'm not going to just get off the bench and start walking toward the scorer's table, either. At the end of the day, I'm a professional."
The Kings (27-47) had six players score in double figures, led by Evans.
The Lakers (38-36) won despite having Steve Nash for just the first 1:48 of the game. He strained his right hamstring.
Howard had 24 points, 15 rebounds and five blocked shots for the Lakers. Bryant, who sat out only 23 seconds of the game, had 19 points, 14 assists and nine rebounds but shot just 5 of 18.
Bryant and Pau Gasol (12 points, 10 assists) combined for more assists than the Kings (19). The Lakers also matched their season low with seven turnovers.

D.C.'s embattled Fire and EMS department is facing more scrutiny. FOX 5 has uncovered continued problems with emergency responders taking too long. At least a dozen incidents are under investigation for what appear to be slow response times.
The department has been under fire since last month, when it took more than 20 minutes for an ambulance to reach an injured police officer.
The firefighters' union and chief disagree over what is to blame for the delays. In an email to key fire officials, the chief suggested some of the delays may be intentional.
"It appears that some units travel well below the speed limit during responses," he wrote.
That accusation didn't sit well with Ed Smith, President of the DC Firefighters Association.
"I find it absolutely ludicrous and baseless," he said.
Smith denies firefighters are doing anything to endanger the public. Yet one case involving paramedic Engine 18 found speed appears to be a factor. The engine, staffed with a firefighter paramedic, sometimes responds to medical emergencies. A preliminary investigation found the engine's average speed on one call was 16.9 miles per hour, when the speed limit is 25.
"We have to sit in traffic just like everyone else is experiencing and even with lights and sirens we're still stuck at the whim of traffic," Smith said defending the response time.
That run occurred on a Sunday afternoon, a time when the engine's slow speed seems hard to blame on traffic. Department documents show firefighters explained they were held up by double-parked cars and cited rules that require they make a complete "stop at each and every stop sign and red traffic light" before proceeding.
"There were approximately 18 traffic lights from the firehouse to the scene of that run. We can't blow traffic lights," said Smith.
Apparently not all ambulances and engines follow the rules. FOX 5 witnessed ambulances and engines slowing down, but not stopping before going through a stop sign. A top official within the D.C. government told FOX 5 there appears to be an effort to "work to the rule" as a delay tactic.
It comes amid growing controversy within the department for past failures previously reported by FOX 5. On New Year's Eve, a man died of a heart attack waiting for an ambulance when a large number of firefighters called out sick. In early March, a stroke victim was taken to the hospital by a fire truck because no nearby ambulances were available.
That same month, a police officer hit by a car waited more than 20 minutes for an ambulance to come from Prince George's County because none was available in the city. During a hearing over the department's ongoing problems, D.C. councilmember Tommy Wells, who heads the Committee on the Judiciary and Public Safety, questioned Deputy Mayor for Public Safety Paul Quander.
"Would you agree that we have a shortage of paramedics in the city?" Wells asked.
Quander replied, "I think we need to hire more paramedics," but stopped shy of calling it a shortage.
Wells persisted asking "Yes or no?" After hesitating, Quander chose his words carefully saying, "I don't think we have a shortage."
In the police officer's case, an investigation found three ambulances took themselves out of service, but were supposed to monitor their radios and be available for an emergency. That didn't happen.
Now FOX 5 has learned of another incident involving an ambulance that raises questions. On April 1, 2013 at 2:14 a.m., a woman's medical alert went off. D.C. Fire and EMS records show Ambulance 25 was less than a quarter mile away. It should take less than a minute, but it took the unit nearly ten minutes to get there.
"To the best of my knowledge, there was an illness involved. While there was some miscommunication in the delay, we do need to get to the bottom of that," Smith admitted.
If one of the ambulance crew was sick, it wasn't reported prior to the investigation. No one told the dispatcher or supervisor that night. If they had, the ambulance could have been taken out of service and another unit dispatched. The delay was discovered after the fire chief ordered a review of all response times that exceed the eight minute national standard. The union says it's not their fault.
"It happens all day every day because of staffing shortages because of equipment malfunctions," Smith told FOX 5.
Equipment and staffing problems are well documented. The back and forth battle between the chief and the union are symptomatic of a system that is jeopardizing public safety.
Consider what the union claims happened to Engine 18. That's the engine we told you was under investigation for going too slow. According to the union, the fire chief followed the engine on the call and when it arrived, confronted the firefighter officer about their response.
"He pulled him to the side, questioned him about his response, and he said he was responding appropriately and taking safety into consideration. On other runs, the chief has stopped and admonished officers for blowing stop signs and red lights," noted Smith.
Chief Ellerbe declined to be interviewed, on what may appear to be unusual behavior, but in a statement said: "The department will take every appropriate measure to achieve its performance goals and fully investigate any inappropriate response times that fail to meet our standards."
In a letter to Quander, the union complained the pressure to respond faster endangers the public by driving "in a more aggressive manner." All firefighters now must justify the most minute delays, and instead of responding to calls, they claim they are bogged down writing reports.
"So approximately 160 reports in one day of units outside of the eight minute response time," Smith explained of a typical day.
These dangerous delays are just one of laundry list of things that have the union and fire chief at odds, including a protracted contract dispute over scheduling, paramedic shortages and equipment problems. Whatever the resolution, everyone agrees it can't come at the cost of saving a lives.

Smoking Kills
The article was written on December 3rd 2012 about how tobacco companies will be required to put different statements on there boxes that lean towards, smoking is bad, one of these statements are "smoking kills, on average 1200 Americans.

Sorry Quotes
The word !! Sorry !! Make no sense without honest feelings within.
"Sorry" we all say "Sorry" for the wrong things we say and do. But do we always think about the people we love dearly who we say hurtful things to? I don't think so because if we had think about it sorry wouldn't have become such a popular word today. Sometimes we say so much and act immature as adult. We didn't take the time to realize how much hurt and pain we put that individual in we never took the time to think of the reaction, the feelings and the consequence that we might have to face if what we do turns out to be a matter of life and death.
You should never ruin an apology with an excuse.
Apologizing does not always mean that you're wrong and the other person is right. It just means that you value your relationship more than your ego.
Never try to dominate the one who says sorry to you for their mistake because, they understand, you are more important than their ego.
I'm not perfect, I make mistakes, I hurt people. But when I say sorry, I mean it.
Now it's just too late and we can't go back. I'm sorry, I can't be perfect.
I'm sorry. I constantly want to talk to you. I'm sorry when you take long to reply, I get sad. I'm sorry if I say things that might piss you off. I'm sorry if I come off as annoying. I'm sorry if you don't wanna talk to me as much as I wanna talk to you. I'm sorry if I tell you about my pointless drama when you don't really care. I'm sorry if I come off as being clingy, but it's just me missing you.
I have learned that sometimes SORRY is not enough. You actually have to change yourself.
I said "I love you" and I meant it. But I hurt you, now "I'm sorry" and I mean it.
Saying sorry doesn't mean you have to do the same wrong thing again!
Saying "I am sorry" costs nothing when you are on the wrong, please admit and see love grow.
Sorry I couldn't be your first choice but you were mine. Even though the girl you like, likes you and someone else, I only have feelings for you. Sorry that I care so much!!
Saying I am sorry costs nothing!
I'm sorry I trip a lot
I'm sorry I'm the jealous type
I'm just scared someone better is gonna take my place.
Sorry is a nice word to hear when you hurt someone. If you say this it proves that you're brave about what they would say.
Sometimes saying 'i'm sorry' doesn't mean you were wrong it's just simply showing respect to the one you love, because you understand hurt inside n you want to get rid of it before it affects you both.
It's hurting me every second realizing I hurt you. I'm sorry, please feel it.
Get angry and me scold me but talk to me just and text I'll makeup rest
Don't just ignore me.
I'm really sorry.
It is easy to say sorry for the things we've done, it is also easy to forgive and forget, but one thing that will never be easy is to trust again after disappointment.
There's no use of just saying sorry. One should feel it.
And there are times when you seek for others' forgiveness but you yourself know that you ain't worthy of it.
Saying sorry doesn't mean it was you who did wrong and what they did was right. It is a word expressing what you feel when you hurt somebody.
For a man apologizing is one of the hardest things to do because our ego is big and we have too much pride. But I'm going to drop my ego and swallow my pride and say I'm sorry to the one I love the most for the pain I cause and the mistakes I made. I'm only a man we tend to make mistakes but the difference between them and me is that I mean it and I'm not afraid to show the world I'm in love. Without you, life means nothing because you're my purpose of living. Your love is my drug because you take me so high and now that you're gone I'm low and I'm craving for your love. I love you and miss you will always have a spot in my heart.
Love isn't just a word it's a meaning, saying sorry won't make things better but it will show you love them.
Sorry: Don't say the word, show me that you mean it.
Why is it that people will let the stupidest things drive them and their friendship apart, after all the things they have been through, after years of happy friendship and all those good times that they've had together, and all those inside jokes that the rest of us people don't get. Why? Why let a little word here and there ruin all that. People can't let small things do that to one another. You only get so many friends in your life and you can't let the ones you have go. When you get a friend you know you can trust for basically the rest of your life, you have to hang onto them with all you have. Even if you have to be the bigger person and say that you are sorry. If no one has the guts to say that they are sorry after that, then they are not true friends, and you should slowly let them out of your life, and let them down easy.
I'm sorry for all the pain I've caused you. I never meant for that to happen. You were just the only one I trust. I know sorry can't take away all the pain and harm I've caused you. I have no excuses, because that is just cowardly to give you an excuse that will never help. I love you and I'm sorry.
I know that when you hurt someone so bad you just cannot say sorry,,,,,but all that matters is that it comes from the heart.
Saying sorry only means you gave up on holding a grudge.
If you say sorry to someone you can't forgive…then your apology means nothing…they are only words…they are nothing more.
If you apologize for something you didn't do..Well then it does not mean much..Only that you want things to get better. So you try to fix them.
Smart people always say sorry, while the stupid ones just wait for the smart one to say sorry.

Mathematics and Computer Science Department
University of Wisconsin-Superior
Swenson Hall 3030
Belknap and Catlin
P.O. Box 2000
Superior, WI 54880
ph. 715-394-8028
Mathematics and Computer Science Department
News and Events Details
Marilyn Toscano has been training future math teachers at UW-Superior for about 20 years, and she has a clear opinion of the type of students who choose that major.
"Wonderful students," she says without hesitation.
Mathematics teaching major
UW-Superior's mathematics teaching major prepares students to teach math to pupils from fifth grade through high school. Dr. Shaun Lynch, chair of the Department of Mathematics and Computer Science, said the department is looking to encourage enrollment in the program as part of the effort to produce more graduates in the STEM fields - science, technology, engineering and mathematics.
A challenging program
Toscano describes math education as "a fairly hard major." Students must be skillful in math as well as meet challenging teacher education requirements. Each must pass a Praxis exam to gain entry to the program and pass a second Praxis exam to graduate.
In the past five years every student in the program has passed the exit exam on the first attempt.
"Our students know about this and they want to keep up the record," Toscano said. "They study in groups for months in advance."
Students want to teach
Students enter the program because they enjoy the challenges of math and they want to teach. That's a spirit Toscano encourages.
"I like for them to come out of the program with an inclination that all children can learn math," she said.
Students share Toscano's enthusiasm.
"I chose math education as my major because I have always enjoyed math; all the way back to my elementary school days," said Orrin Botten, who's from Poplar, Wis. " Education was something that really interested me during high school because of the impact my teachers had on me. I want to be able to make that sort of impact on people as well."
Working closely with students
Toscano advises all students in the major. She works with them to plan their course schedule for four years and lays out what they need to assemble for the portfolio that demonstrates they've acquired the necessary skills to graduate. She helps them organize their classes and makes sure they understand the requirements they must meet in both her department and the Department of Educational Leadership.
'Teachable minor' also required
Students majoring in math education also must complete a minor in a subject that they can teach. Many choose science, special education or coaching. Students who hope to find jobs teaching in other countries often complete a language minor.
Reaching all pupils
Along with mastering mathematics, students learn teaching methods and strategies for reaching all their pupils. They learn how to teach young people to use logic and become good problem-solvers. Toscano also works with them to build their confidence when they're standing in front of a classroom full of pupils.
As prospective teachers, the students enjoy working with young people.
"The thing I like most about the major is the time spent out in the schools," Botten said. "There are a lot of observation hours required, but it is fun to go out and get experience helping and teaching lessons."
Changing career market
Until recently, school district superintendents were calling Toscano to find candidates to fill jobs. That changed in 2011 as Wisconsin school districts experienced fewer teacher retirements and more job cutbacks. Now, some graduates are finding jobs quickly while others are teaching as long-term substitutes.
However, some graduates "are still being snatched up," Toscano said. That's especially true if they're willing to teach in inner-city schools or in states like Alaska, where many school districts will pay off new a teacher's student loans in exchange for him or her signing a multi-year teaching contract.
More math interest today
Toscano said these days she's seeing more students who are interested in math careers. She credits at least part of that to changes in pop culture; specifically a new generation of movies and TV shows that depict scientists and detectives using math to solve crimes.
"Math is fun," Toscano said. "It's all around you and you'll use it every day. It is so cool - that's one thing I try to bring to my students."

Today is a national day of protest to stop police brutality
Every Oct. 22, people nationwide nonviolently protest police brutality and repression. 2010 marks the 15th year of this action.
Albuquerque's Copwatch is participating and organized a silent march and vigil to remember the people who've been shot by the Albuquerque Police Department. There have been 11 officer-involved shootings this year.
People will gather at Fourth Street and Roma at 3:30 p.m. Family members of Kenneth Ellis III , the Iraq War veteran who was killed by police in January, will speak. The friends and relatives of Enrique "Kiki" Carrasco will also attend. At 4:30, the silent march will begin making its way up Central and end at Robinson Park on 8th Street.
The event is also sponsored by Vecinos United, Young Women United and the A.N.S.W.E.R. Coalition.

I'm well versed on unit testing, but I was curious. I thought you did a great job covering the basics.
I suspect the stuck Windows key is a bug.
I've had this happen. I've seen people at work have it happen. And a family member and a couple of friends have had this problem. It's always the Windows key. It's not the ALT, Fn, or any other key.
The problem has always been resolved by just pressing the Windows button.
It's incredibly naïve to not believe at this point that there is a high degree of likelihood that the government would use the Xbox One inappropriately and illegally. The government has been caught with their hand in the cookie jar with the revelations of the NSA spying programs. The complicity of major corporations in this spying adds to the anxiety. Privacy policies mean nothing, because the government grants immunity to companies to comply.
It depends on what you mean by killer... For me, the killer feature would be not allowing used games, because it would kill my desire to upgrade. I buy 9 out of 10 games new, but I don't want to lose the option. I'm also not thrilled about the rumor of requiring the Xbox to always be online. Most people aren't fooled by the marketing speak on the subject. Always online is a vehicle for DRM.
But, in the spirit of your request, I'm simply looking for more parity with the PC experience -- performance and graphics.
On another topic, Microsoft needs to put out an update to the Channel 9 app that allows you to add comments.
I thought I'd mention that the annoying GUI in Jurassic Park is a real Unix GUI. It's called FSN.

I use Windows Live Mail right now to manage my Hotmail account (which has been migrated to Outlook.com) and two GMail accounts. I use the Hotmail account for things like my MSDN subscription, but one of the two GMail accounts is my primary one. GMail is my primary account because the UX is so much better on my Android phone than Hotmail in the messaging app.
I generally leave Live Mail open all day and I use Outlook for work. I could use Outlook for everything, but it complains if I'm not connected to the VPN to get to the Exchange server. Overall the reasons why I'm not actively using the web interface are as follows:
- Support for combined accounts is no where near as good
- An Internet Explorer page is more than 2x more memory than Live Mail
The Web is not the solution to everything.

I agree with the font on the navigation pane. We need to try something else there. And I also agree that "Mythly Studios" should be offset from the navigation.
We initially had it so that the navigation was collapsible, but it seemed cumbersome to have two collapsible columns. Maybe we'll have it collapsible, but have it shown by default.
Thanks for the feedback!
You're welcome.
Perhaps you could tie it to video playback and just expand the pane when the pane is too small for the video.
Ping 166: Facebook Graph Search, WP8 Nominated, Nokia Drive, Microsoft loves the 90'sJan 29, 2013 at 12:45 PM
The mythly.com website is well designed. I have a couple of points of interest. The navigation font just doesn't feel right. I'm not sure if it's the font itself or the spacing. The name should be offset from the navigation. Also the middle pane is too constrained where the video is shown. Either let the navigation pane be collapsible or provide more resizing options.
On other note, I liked the content on the digital magazine. That would actually make me more interested in that type of content (whether on my notebook or when I get a Surface). Another idea which is a tie-in to the show (it's my idea and I claim it) is you could set achievements for viewing ads and have some type of reward system.
As for achievements in general, I don't really care that much. I like that they're there, but my gamer score is pretty low considering the number of games I've played. It's more about the story or the activity for me.
I'm looking at the Pro. I wasn't impressed with the RT display. Everything on the Pro is what I'm looking for, so if anything it's the real world battery life that will make or break the sale. I'd probably get an RT too for my daughter to play with, but the price is going to have to come down.

In World War two Frank Goodson was a night fighter pilot, flying his Hellcat off the Carrier the U.S.S. Enterprise, the most decorated ship in the war. With primitive radar and dimly lighted landing signals, night flying was the most dangerous job in flying.
It's difficult to say what was the most dangerous: fighting Japanese planes in the air, being guided by primitive radar, landing and taking off the ship in the nightime, or being on board ship during Kamikazi attacks. Frank Goodson made it through all of the above, although many of his friends didn't return home.

Famous VIC Face And Body Cloths -- The Secret To A Head-To-Toe Radiant Complexion
Use these wonderfully stimulating face and body cloths to "rev" up your circulation and promote a radiant complexion. Developed by a British company during WWII, the 100% cotton fabric is woven from different size strands of cotton that are twisted in the manufacturing process and shrink at different rates during wetting and drying. The result is a slightly rough, "nubbie" texture that exfoliates your skin but never feels too abrasive. Used alone or with your favorite soap, they're so invigorating that you won't want to shower or bathe without one! Lightweight fabric is quick drying so it's easy to pack for travel. Made in the USA from imported fabric. Machine wash. Sold in a set of 2.

Ogling the Fantastic Junk Sculptures in Sebastopol, California
First-time visitors to the free-spirited Sonoma County haven of Sebastopol do more than their share of double-takes — especially if they happen to turn onto Florence Avenue, a couple of blocks off Main Street. That's where French-Canadian transplant Patrick Amiot and his wife, Brigitte Laurent, have graced their neighbors' front yards with a one-of-a-kind assortment of funky, whimsical pop-art sculptures constructed from salvaged ... well, you name it. In one yard, a skeleton rides a chopper. In another, a redheaded mermaid strums a harp. A grinning Mad Hatter stands atop a teapot. A paunchy Batman boasts a toaster and a grease gun on his tool belt. It's a phantasmagorical vision of small-town U.S.A.

So you have come to visit Amish Country for the day, or even spent a night or two. You drive up and down State Route 39, US 62 or State Route 241. You visit a cheese factory, stop in an Amish-made furniture store and eat a hardy chicken dinner. There are so many ways to experience Amish Country that you are really missing out! For instance, some people pay a local tour company for "concierge" services. They have the tour guide map out a route to visit an Amish quilt maker, a furniture store, an Amish basket maker, Lehman's Hardware and a bulk foods store that they can drive on their own at their own pace. Why??? Did you know that one local bed and breakfast in the Berlin area does this free of charge for their guests. At Garden Gate Get-A-Way Bed & Breakfast they have created several itineraries that guests can choose from or they will customize an itinerary just for you. This is all part of their excellent customer service and you don't pay any extra for this service! Many times the city tourists are disappointed when most of Amish Country closes up around 5 p.m. Many of the bed and breakfasts in the area offer packages where you can visit a spa, participate in a murder mystery, take a tour, get a horse and carriage ride and more. Some people call Carol Steffey from Garden Gate Get-A-Way Bed & Breakfast the "package queen". Some of her 2008 packages includes: Ladies Spa Get-A-Way, Amish Cultural Tour with Dinner in an Amish Home, Pre-Valentine Gourmet Dinner & Spa, Valentine Romance Package, Winery Tour with Gourmet Dinner, Murder Mysteries, Tuscarawas Valley B&B Wine Tour, Moonlight Serenade Romantic weekend with acoustic guitar & picnic, Mothers Day Weekend garden and spa package, Culinary Delight Tour, and more! If you really want to experience Amish Country you need to stay at a bed and breakfast. The owners know their Amish neighbors, know their area and offer a completely different look at the area. Most hotel staff don't live in the community and cannot even tell you where to eat, let alone plan a package, itinerary or tour. Bed and Breakfast owners usually keep up with special events in the area such as the annual January Pajama Party, or the Corvette Cruise-In at Roscoe Village or the Christmas Events in the area. Don't cut yourself short with just a day trip, but find a bed and breakfast that suits your tastes and really experience Amish Country.

An Unforgettable Expedition to South Georgia Island
Friends of the Institution recently joined Newt Merrill, Chair of the Board of Trustees, Susan K. Avery, WHOI's President and Director, and Susan Humphris, Senior Scientist in the Geology & Geophysics Department, on a 16-day expedition to the island of South Georgia. Sponsored by the New York Yacht Club, Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution and the Royal Yacht Squadron based on the Isle of Wight, UK, this expedition took a group of about 75 to one of the world's most stunningly beautiful and isolated islands in the southern ocean. This is their travelogue, courtesy of Susan Humphris.
"The ship, MV Plancius, left from Montevideo, Uruguay, for a 6-day, 1430 nautical mile passage to South Georgia. Built in 1976 as an oceanographic research vessel for the Royal Dutch Navy, the vessel was bought in 2004 by Oceanwide Expeditions and completely refitted into a 114-passenger expedition vessel in 2007. We were accompanied on the cruise by an expedition staff of seven guides that included experienced polar naturalists, a geologist, and a historian who focused on Antarctic exploration. Lectures during the passage prepared the guests for the history and wildlife that they would soon experience, while the two Susans provided more general presentations about oceanography, deep-sea exploration, and the ocean's impact on Earth's natural systems.
"With 6 days and excellent weather to explore South Georgia, we were able to take zodiac trips and go ashore at 15 different locations. At every site, most of us experienced sensory overload – the rugged snow-capped mountains; stunning and unusual cloud formations; vivid blue glacier ice; the yelping, belching and snorting of elephant seals and their pups; the trumpeting calls of king penguins and the piping cries of their wooly chicks; and the smell of fur seals, hundreds of elephant seals, and large rookeries of penguins.
"Half the world's population of southern elephant seals hauls up on the beaches of South Georgia to give birth and breed. Many large bull seals – beachmasters – with harems of tens of females and their pups occupy the beaches, often with hundreds of seals on one beach. Activity in the harems was high. Mother and pups were constantly barking to each other and skuas were trying to steal milk or scavenging the afterbirth of recently born pups. Satellite bulls (beachmaster 'wannabes') patrolled the shore looking for a chance to mate with any female on the edge of the harem, only to be charged by three tons of blubber when the beachmaster noticed the advance.
"South Georgia is also home to millions of penguins and St. Andrew's Bay hosts South Georgia's largest king penguin colony – the second largest in the world. An estimated 150,000 pairs breed here; add in the chicks and non-breeders (those molting), and there are over 400,000 birds either along the shores or feeding in nearby waters. Many an hour was spent watching these handsome birds and their comical chicks, called oakum boys because they resemble the young boys who re-caulked ships with tar and hemp rope (oakum) in the process getting covered in it. While there is a 15 feet limit of approach to animals, the oakum boys seemed unaware of it and showed only curiosity to humans.
"One of the most spectacular (and unusual) sightings during the trip was a pod of five killer whales, including a young calf, consuming the remains of what looked like a large male elephant seal, while thousands of seabirds, attracted by the activity of the whales, fed on the scraps as they floated to the surface.
"For the ornithologists among the group, there were many special additions to their life lists. Four types of albatross repeatedly were seen – black-browed, grey-headed, light-mantled sooty and the great wandering albatross. On Prion Island, 8-month old wandering albatross chicks that had wintered over were testing their wings getting ready to take flight. But perhaps the most beautiful were the light mantled sooty albatross, some sitting on nests while others winged overhead in paired ballet dances. South Georgia has landbirds too: the South Georgia pintail ducks and the South Georgia pipit – the most southerly songbird in the world.
"One of the highlight hikes that many completed was the Shackleton walk – the historic final 3.5 miles of Shackleton's long rescue mission on foot across South Georgia in 1916. The hike begins in Fortuna Bay, goes up across a mountain ridge (for which snow shoes were a must this year), and down to the whaling station in Stromness Harbour. This was followed by a visit to Grytviken – the only site on South Georgia to have been developed for tourism – where we visited the grave of Ernest Shackleton, toasting him and all brave Antarctic explorers with a drink and pouring a libation on his grave.
"After a 4-day passage to Ushuaia, Argentina, the expedition ended. Everyone departed with their memories and photos of an unforgettable experience."

Teen's Choice Pizza
Hungry? Make pizza with ingredients on hand. Warning: This quick rising dough is fast - so have your toppings ready.
This recipe makes Two 12- to 14-inch pizzas
|1 cup
|Vegetable Oil
|Bread Flour
|2 cup
|Whole Wheat Flour
|3/4 cup
|1+1/2 tsp
|Active Dry Yeast
|2+1/4 tsp
|Prepared Pizza or Spaghetti Sauce
|1 cup (8 oz.)
|Shredded Cheese (Mozzarella, Provolone, Cheddar, etc)
|2 cups
|Your choice: Pepperoni, Mushrooms, Green Peppers, Onions, Italian Sausage, Olives, etc.
*Recipe makes two 12- to 14-inch pizzas; four 7-inch thick-crust pan pizzas; eight 5-inch pizza snacks; or twelve 3-inch pizza appetizers.
Bread Machine Method
Place room temperature ingredients in pan in the order listed. Select Dough cycle. Check dough consistency after 5 minutes of kneading. The dough should be in a soft, tacky ball. If it is dry and stiff, add water, 1/2 to 1 TBSP at a time. If it is too wet and sticky, add 1 TBSP of flour at a time. When kneading is complete, remove dough from pan. Do not allow dough to rise. Proceed to Shaping and Baking instructions. See our Bread Machine section for more helpful tips and information.
Traditional Method
In medium mixer bowl, combine 1 cup bread flour, yeast, and salt; mix well. Combine water and oil; heat to 120º to 130ºF; add to flour mixture. Blend at low speed until moistened; beat 3 minutes at medium speed. By hand, gradually stir in whole-wheat flour and enough remaining all-purpose flour to make a soft dough. Knead on floured surface 3 to 5 minutes.
Shaping and Baking
Preheat oven to 400ºF. Lightly flour fingers and work surface. Divide dough into portions. Flatten each portion into size desired; place on greased pizza pans or 2-inchs apart on greased baking sheet. Spread prepared sauce on each pizza. Add your favorite toppings. Cover with shredded cheese. Do not allow dough to rise. Bake at 400ºF until edge is crisp and light golden brown and cheese melts—approximately 9 minutes for 3-inch size pizzas, 10 minutes for 5-inch pizzas, 12 minutes for 7-inch pan pizzas, and 20-25 minutes for 12-14 inch pizzas, or until edges of crust begin to turn a light golden brown. Carefully remove hot pizzas from pans. Serve immediately.
Freezer Storage for Unbaked Crusts: Shape dough or press into pans. Prick with fork. Wrap in plastic wrap, then wrap in foil freeze up to 3 months. To use, unwrap and place in preheated 400ºF oven on hot baking sheet. Pre-bake for 10-12 minutes Layer with desired toppings and complete baking.
Freezer Storage for Baked Crusts: Cool pre-baked crusts. Wrap individually in plastic wrap, then wrap in foil; freeze up to 1 month. To use, place toppings directly on frozen crust and bake.
*You can substitute Instant (fast-rising) yeast in place of Active Dry Yeast. When using Instant Yeast, expect your dough to rise faster. Always let your dough rise until ripe. Traditional methods: use equal amounts; Bread Machine: use 1/2 tsp Instant Yeast OR 3/4 tsp Active Dry Yeast per cup of flour in your recipe. Visit our Lessons in Yeast & Baking for more information on baking.

Review: BMW X6 XDrive 35i
You know things have gone awry when BMW now offers three different flavors of non-cars, all of them antithetical to the Bavarian brand's classical claim to fame. The X6 is the latest addition to the range, joining the X3 and X5, and BMW is calling it a Sports Activity Coupe, creating an acronym that's oddly prescient for a vehicle that's essentially a post-bris X5. Beyond the looks that are an acquired taste, we wanted to know if there's BMW goodness baked into the X6, so we swiped the keys to an X6 XDrive 35i for a week with the SAC to find out. ... Read More
Subtle enhancements include a 'power bulge' hood (identical to the one used on the now-defunct BMW X6 ActiveHybrid), minor cosmetic tweaks to the BMW-signature kidney grille and headlight improvements (HID beams are standard with LED headlights new to the options list). Wrapping up the changes, the brake calipers have been painted "M Blue" and front ...

A long time ago, way back in April 2008, Work It was born. Hailing from the Visions Video Bar in Hackney and founded by Loren Platt and Sara El-Dabi, this concept night was the love-child of acid wash jeans and big hair, and it infused 90s nostalgia into London's East End. Pure R&B and plenty of hip hop all night long. Work It brings all the 90s classics, glamour, and attitude to the PUMA YARD. If you're looking to rock, then get a ticket and stop by. Bring your own air guitar.
1. What do you have for breakfast the morning of a performance?
Protein shake with mixed berries or a fry up!
2. What's your favorite spot in London?
Watching the sun set on Hampstead Heath, with friends and good food.
3. When are you most happy?
At our club night vibing out.
4. Name the most inspiring place in the world.
Ridley Road Market
5. Do you own an air guitar?
No, but we own an air drum kit. Saving up for a vocoder.
6. Which question are you asked the most when interviewed?
Why do you love the 90s?
7. If you had a superpower, what would it be?
Sounds really boring but life would be so much easier if we didn't have to sleep.
8. Did you play sports growing up? Do you play now?
We both played netball at school (the height helps) but now we get our main exercise from power walking on Hackney Downs…whilst brainstorming.
9.58. One lump? Or two?
Why have one when you can have two?

Try A Turntable: Easy Access To Under Cabinet Storage
Turntables in home decor are usually found one of three places. Either in your rec room spinning the latest tunes, on your kitchen counter holding oils, salts and other spices, or lastly in those pesky corner cabinets where your favorite box of cereal always seems to get stuck.
Instead, try using them in a new spot — under your kitchen and bathroom sink!
Under-sink storage can be tricky. Most often we turn to tubs or drawers that slide out, but let's face it, that never turns out well. You slide the drawer or tub out and everything in it falls to the front making a mess of things.
Instead, we ran across this fun turntable from The Container store (for $29.99) that holds up to 150lbs when the weight is distributed evenly. This means it's perfect for holding heavy liquid products like soaps and cleansers and makes things easy by spinning them around where everything stays in place.
The bit of storage space left behind the turntable (because we all know it's on our mind!) could be used for those items that we keep in bulk or don't use all that often. For instance, curlers that you keep on hand for when your hair grows out (even though it's currently short) or that shaving kit your mother gave you for Christmas that you haven't gotten around to using yet.

For those of us who live in small apartments where storage space is at a premium - This is a space waster.
I prefer to stick w/ bins, trays and boxes which use all the space on the shelf because they're rectangular - not round and ignoring the corners.
$30?! my under the sink RARELY sees any action worth impressing. I used one of my more sturdy shoe cardboard boxes. (my fancy heels get the clear shoe boxes: )). I keep detergents/softeners in a reusable bag, I can have ready to haul over to the machines in my building. I've got a crate & barrel box under the BA cabinet to keep the "extra" supplies (soap,shaving cream, toothpaste. etc.). works great.
I use them in my refrigerator too for all the mustard and pickle type jars that tend to get lost. I also bought a double stacking one and put it in my corner cabinet for spices. It really helps. I prefer bins for the bathroom or under sink though.
I've got something like this under the kitchen sink and it's wonderful:
Brilliant!! But, I'd get a lazy susan from ikea for like $8 instead.
Pixie - I have the same and I agree it is wonderful for organizing under the sink!
Amusingly, I have one in my refrigerator (for little jars of anchovies and olives and capers etc., one in my spice cabinet (for odd shaped spice things), one under the sink in the bathroom (extra shampoo etc), one on my dressing table (cosmetics and lotions), and one with craft stuff (pins, glue, measuring tapes, scissors etc) , but I only recently had the idea of putting one on my counter for condiments, which is, apparently, where everyone else uses them first.
While their shape means they leave spaces in the corners, you don't need to waste that space. You can still store things like large bottles in the corners. I don't regard it as a waste of space to have things easily accessible, as they are with a lazy susan.
I'd go to Ikea too..
If I put this under my kitchen sink, the boxes would get knocked over when they hit the sink drain pipe. Cardboard boxes work just fine.
Oddly enough, I'm looking for a cheap turntable to put a house plant on. You know you should turn them so they grow evenly, right?

ESPN Abandons "Frontline" NFL Head-Injury Investigation
ESPN has exited a long-running investigation into the response of the National Football League to various head injuries suffered over the years by its players that the sports-cable network was pursuing with PBS's "Frontline" news program, senior "Frontline" producers said in a dispatch posted online Thursday.
The two parties' investigation has been running for 15 months, and the work has spawned a web site, "Concussion Watch," that tracks and analyzes officially reported head injuries in the NFL, as well as a two-part investigation called "League of Denial" expected to air on PBS in the fall - just as the NFL's season is getting underway.
"From now on, at ESPN's request, we will no longer use their logos and collaboration credit on these sites and on our upcoming film League of Denial, which investigates the NFL's response to head injuries among football players," read a statement from "Frontline" executive producer David Fanning and deputy executive producer Raney Aronson posted on PBS' web site.
The move is sure to raise the usual questions about ESPN's ability to feature independent, hard-hitting sports journalism when so much of its business hinges on its ability to secure rights to televise big sporting events and gain access to top athletes. ESPN's "Monday Night Football," a weekly telecast of an NFL game, is a top TV draw and, owing to its ratings, one of the most expensive programs on which to advertise. What's more, ESPN's ability to show top-tier sports is a big reason why its is able to charge cable and satellite distributors the most hefty subscriber fees in the business, said to be around $5.54 per subscriber per month, according to SNL Kagan.
The issue has surfaced in the past. In 2010, for example, ESPN allowed LeBron James, who now plays for the Miami Heat, to choose one of his interviewers for a special interview in which he would name the next team for which he would play. The broadcast was sure to generate ratings, but the ground the network had to cede for the "get" was surprising.
"Because ESPN is neither producing nor exercising editorial control over the Frontline documentaries, there will be no co-branding involving ESPN on the documentaries or their marketing materials. The use of ESPN's marks could incorrectly imply that we have editorial control," the network, owned by Walt Disney and Hearst Corp., said in a prepared statement. ": As we have in the past, we will continue to cover the concussion story through our own reporting." An ESPN spokesman said the network had aired a report on concussions in recent days and would continue to investigate serious issues raised by the various sports leagues with which it does business.
Indeed, ESPN has covered the effects of concussions on athletes dating back to 2006, with reports appearing in ESPN The Magazine and ESPN.com. The reports included a November, 2006, magazine investigation of Dr. Elliot Pellman, then chairman of the NFL's Mild Traumatic Brain Injury Committee, which exposed dubious research and behavior.
The history makes the Wednesday split surprising. According to the Frontline producers, ESPN had already jointly published and co-branded "several ground-breaking articles" about head injuries on the web or via reports on ESPN's broadcasts with the PBS program. "We've been in sync on the goals of our reporting: to present the deepest accounting so far of the league's handling of questions around the long-term impact of concussions," the producers said in their statement. "This editorial partnership was similar to our many other collaborations with news organizations over the years."
"Frontline's" reporting on the issue has been led by two ESPN journalists, Mark Fainaru-Wada and Steve Fainaru, who are brothers.
The producers said the coming two-hour documentary would not be affected by ESPN's decision, and said the Fainaru brothers would continue to take part in the production and be featured in the documentary.
The film, they said, is still being edited, and ESPN executives were "on schedule" to see it and offer editorial input. Now the sports-network will have to watch it in October, and see if it merits coverage at that time.

The first site is located downslope from the new Science Center at St. Olaf College, while the other is in "The Upper Arb" of the Cowling Arboretum on the Carleton College campus. The project pursues a novel alliance between art and environmental restoration by rendering the wood and roots of the invasive plant species buckthorn into forms resembling gargantuan dandelions in full seed.
The project officially begins on Thursday, Sept. 20 at 7 p.m. in Room 305 of the Dittmann Center. The actual construction of "The Buckthorn Menace" pieces will follow in a three-week, three-phase process. On Wednesday, Oct. 10, there will be an opening celebration at 3:30 p.m. on the St. Olaf installation site to mark the completion of the project. The installation will then stand for a full year to allow viewing over all four seasons. The project will culminate in October 2008, when the sculptures will be dismantled and the site's landscape restored by the planting of indigenous trees and shrubs.
The construction process, as well as the completed sculpture, is part of a wider community education effort to raise public awareness about the environmental damage caused by buckthorn and other invasive plant species in Minnesota. The Minnesota Department of Natural Resources says on their website that buckthorn is a danger to ecosystems and wilderness areas because it out-competes native plants for nutrients, light, and moisture. It also degrades natural environments and reduces plant diversity.
Many members of the St. Olaf community are very involved in buckthorn removal projects in the area. Dan Hudson of the St. Olaf Bookstore has been working on buckthorn control in Hauberg Woods and Professor of Biology and Environmental Studies Charles Umbanhowar, has been working in the Cannon River Wilderness Area. According to Gene Bakko, a Professor of Biology and the Curator of Natural Lands at St. Olaf, St. Olaf College has been doing buckthorn control periodically in the wooded areas of the Natural Lands for the past 15 years.
"In order for this control to have a chance of being successful, it is necessary for the general public to be aware of invasive species, such as buckthorn, so they too can help eradicate seed producing trees on their properties," Bakko said. Bakko hopes that the Buckthorn Menace project will help raise awareness on the problems buckthorn poses to natural areas and teach proper identification and removal techniques in order for the community can continue to control buckthorn populations throughout Northfield in addition to the St. Olaf natural lands and Cowling Arboretum.
The success of the project is largely influenced by the volunteers. Proctor will direct volunteers on the necessary tasks with the assistance of St. Olaf Student Naturalists and natural lands workers. No prior experience with buckthorn is necessary.

Keeping the Faith
A Garden in the Wilderness

Roger Williams arrived in Massachusetts almost four centuries ago, just a decade after the first Pilgrims disembarked from the Mayflower. He joined that Puritan effort to build a "city on a hill," to prove to the nations of the world how God's people should live. How did things go for Roger? Not so good. He never got that Puritan thing figured out.
After beginning his role as pastor of the church at Salem, Massachusetts, it didn't take long for Williams' sermons to ignite an inferno of controversy. He was quickly branded as a heretic, persecuted by the government, put in constant fear for his life, forced to evade deportation back to Europe, and eventually exiled into the New England winter, an exile that remained law on the Massachusetts books until 1936.
What caused Roger so much trouble in the New World? He relentlessly preached liberty of conscience and believed that an individual should have the freedom to choose his or her religious expression, even the right to choose no religion at all. Roger Williams believed in the revolutionary idea that there should be a separation between church and state.
This was a novel idea 400 years ago. In some circles it still is. Yet, Roger Williams believed in it and practiced it. Rhode Island, the tiny colony he eventually formed, became a safe haven for some of the first Jews, Quakers, Baptists, and other religious dissidents coming to the New World.
Williams didn't share the beliefs of these variegated groups and often debated with them publically. But he believed they had the God-given right to practice faith as they saw fit, without outside interference.
Using a metaphor that should be repeated in our own day, Williams said the church was like "a garden." Everything that was aligned with self-seeking power -- governments, corporations, systems of control -- he called these "the wilderness." He believed that those churches that gave up their unique role as witnesses to Christ to join with power, even power that "worked," were permitting the wilderness to intrude upon the garden.
As such, these churches would be manipulated, compromising on issues of love, justice, and mercy. Or those same churches would become the manipulators themselves, using civil power to force their beliefs on others. Such force was the worst of spiritual violations, "like compelling an unwilling spouse to enter into a forced bed," Williams preached.
Either way, when church and state drank from the same cup, it would be the church that would be poisoned. Roger Williams' counsel to the Christian church in his day is lasting: Learn to live in the world and bear witness to Christ in it, but do not become a part of it. Or he might say, "Plant a garden in a wilderness; but do not bring the wilderness into the garden."
William Willimon strikes a similar chord. Once in an interview he was criticized for holding opinions that led Christians to shirk their social responsibilities and to withdraw from society. He responded that yes, Christians should live out their faith, but they should take great care not to force their faith. Faith should be practiced, Willimon said, "like porcupines making love...very carefully."
All these years after Williams' exile, I am thankful that we have the freedom and privilege to live out and practice our faith in this country. But like Williams, I do not believe that those privileges can become tools of coercion and force to accomplish some "spiritual" or Christian end.
Faith is an issue of the heart, not a public policy. Faith can empower believers to light a society with grace, love, goodness, and hope, but faith should not be used as a manipulative weapon in the dark, power-play systems of the world.
I know I'm not with the Puritan program either, but standing with Williams I believe that rulers have no right to enforce religion, and religions have no right to enforce rule. To take a different path is to plant the wild and wooly seeds of the wilderness in the garden of faith.

A balanced scoring attack led the second-ranked UW-Stevens Point men's basketball team to a 74-55 win over UW-Eau Claire in the Wisconsin Intercollegiate Athletic Conference (WIAC) opener for both teams on Wednesday night at Zorn Arena.
Box Score
Joe Ritchay (Wisconsin Rapids, WI/Lincoln) led the Pointers (5-0, 1-0 WIAC) in scoring with a season-high 14 points on 6-for-9 shooting. Jordan Lutz (Amherst, WI/Amherst) and Trevor Hass (New London, WI/New London/Augustana (SD)) each added 13 points, while Austin Ryf (Winneconne, WI/Winneconne) chipped in with nine points and four assists. Lutz's 13 points were a career-high. Lutz and Ritchay each scored 10 points in the opening half as UWSP built a 40-26 halftime lead.
After UW-Stevens Point led early 6-4, the Pointers went on an 11-0 run over a span of 3:08 to take a commanding 17-4 lead. Lutz and Ritchay combined for all 11 UWSP points during the spurt, while UW-Eau Claire (4-3, 0-1 WIAC) missed all three of its field-goal attempts.
The Blugolds used a 7-2 mini-run to get within 24-16 at the 6:35 mark of the opening half but that was as close as UWEC got the rest of the game. Adam Hjelter scored five quick points during the run and scored a game-high 19 points for UW-Eau Claire. UW-Stevens Point took a 14-point lead into the locker room after a first half in which the Pointers shot 61.5 percent (16-for-26) from the floor.
Hjelter hit back-to-back threes in the first 90 seconds of the second half to help the Blugolds trim the Pointers lead to 42-32. However, UWSP maintained a double-digit lead the rest of the way despite UW-Eau Claire shooting 57.1 percent (12-for-21) in the second half. UW-Stevens Pint led by as many as 21 in the final eight minutes of the game.
The Pointers shot 53.7 percent (29-for-54) from the floor, including 58.3 percent (7-for-12) from behind the arc. UWSP committed just eight turnovers and outscored UWEC 19-4 in points off turnovers. The UW-Stevens Point bench outscored UW-Eau Claire's 27-9, led by Lutz's 13 and five points in two minutes from Bill Patterson (Alsip, IL/Mount Carmel).
UW-Stevens Point faces No. 4 UW-Whitewater in a battle of top-five teams for Gold Nite on Wednesday night. The Pointers and Warhawks tip-off at 7 p.m. at Bennett Court at Quandt Fieldhouse.
