The state of Michigan loses out on tens of millions of dollars each year to online shoppers not paying any sales tax.
Some Republican lawmakers are proposing legislation that would require online retailers to collect the 6 percent state sales tax. They say it would level the playing field with brick and mortar stores.
"You can usually get better prices online than in the stores, even if you are paying the 6 percent sales tax," said Calire Balmas, who frequently shops online.
Ryan Jones works for an online retailer that sells nutritional supplements. He says he wonders how the state will make sure online retailers are charging the tax.
"There is no sales tax on our product because it is a food product, but I don't know how the state is going to enforce or require every website in every state to collect taxes," Jones said.

KENTUCKY (3/12/13) - The more I cook seafood, the more I realize it's not like chicken, beef, or any other protein. Seafood requires little effort and less seasoning than just about any other protein.
I admit, it's pretty easy to get caught up in the food frenzy of combining flavors and making exotic dishes. But this is not what today's menu idea is about.
One of the things I love about eating seafood is that it doesn't require a lot of fuss.
For this week's recipe, I used Copper River Wild Alaska Coho salmon. A sprinkle of salt, a dash of pepper, and then a quick sear is all it takes for delicious-tasting medium-rare salmon. Total cooking time: four minutes for medium-rare. Yup, that's it.
You can serve this salmon two ways: either with an Apple & Bacon Slaw dressed with Peanut-Butter Vinaigrette, or with a Walnut-Rosemary Puree. The Slaw offers a more balanced meal, and the walnut puree showcases the flavors of the salmon with little or no fuss. I'd pair the Walnut-Puree with a Caesar Salad.
If you don't like to eat salmon, I suggest swordfish as a substitute. Its meaty, mild, and can be prepared in the same manner as the salmon.
Cook's notes: cook the fish ten minutes per inch. If you buy ½ inch filets, then cook five minutes as directed below.
Apple & Bacon Slaw with Peanut Butter-Pear Vinaigrette
Serves four
1 tablespoon creamy peanut butter
1 tablespoon pear balsamic vinegar
3 tablespoons olive oil
Kosher salt and pepper to season
2 granny smith apple, cut into matchstick pieces
3 tablespoons brown sugar
¼ teaspoon kosher salt
1 slice bacon, fried crispy and minced
In a medium bowl, whisk the peanut butter and vinegar. Season with kosher salt and black pepper. Drizzle olive oil, slowly, while whisking until all oil is blended.

Age is not a barrier to staying fit. People who regularly exercise can count better focus and concentration, less stress, better digestion, immune system protection and improved sleep among the benefits to their health.
And for those who lead workout sessions, the reward is in seeing how much their senior students can accomplish.
For more than three decades, Dwight Stevens has led taekwondo classes at the Stevens Point Area YMCA. He is a health-conscious 80-year-old who saw his father and brothers die of smoking-related illnesses.
Stevens said a focus on fitness began in high school and continued with college baseball and football. He keeps himself in good health with cross training and the balance that comes from martial arts.
He teaches taekwondo to students ages 8 through adult, two times a week. He might not train as vigorously as he once did, but he adapts his movements to keep in good condition.
I can see where a lot of the problem is abuse, overuse, Stevens said. You cant abuse your body; it can wear joints out.
Some students have spent more than 20 years in the class under Stevens instruction. And he said there is no limit to what can be achieved when people get started. He has helped students older than 50 get started and still earn black belts in the sport.
Its a joy for me to watch others improve, Stevens said.
Just watching students in Lee Kochs tai chi class has a soothing effect. The fluid movements of arms and legs are slow and controlled. It is soundless, other than some exhalations from the group class in the Fitness Room at the Aging & Disability Resource Center of Central Wisconsin in Wausau.
Koch said seniors like the exercises because they are non-impact and easy on the joints.
The goal is to see this in your mind, Koch said, as he led a class through a series of forms on July 18.
Koch, 64, said teaching the ancient movements of tai chi is a great way of connecting with others and helps strengthen his own practice. The hour-long class works muscles, focuses on breathing and memory remembering the forms and ends with an energy circle.
Jane Tonelli, 68, of Wausau regularly works out at a Curves health club but added tai chi to her routine to work on her memory and for its calming benefits.
Likewise, Annette Staubs, 63, who lives just north of Wausau, enjoys the integration of mind and body. She said she practices tai chi at her home daily and has benefited from the exercises with better balance and more core strength.
Healing power of exercise
Seniors tend to lose flexibility in their hips and backs. Sue Martin helps give some of that motion back to people older than 55 in her Silver Sneakers classes at Wausau Health and Fitness in Rib Mountain. She teaches muscle strength and range of motion, senior yoga and circuit training.
Newer exercisers start out with the range of motion course and then work up to heavier weights and circuit training.
Martin, 64, had a double bypass and got back to her physical training work. She wants seniors to know that you can be active by finding ways to work around your limitations. She has students in class who are nearly 90 years old.
The more you do, the better off you are and more you maintain your health, Martin said.
She said people have told her the exercise has helped them to cut down on medications. For others, theres improvement in balance and flexibility, and for others, senior fitness serves a social function.
Its multidimensional, said instructor Mary Hilliker, about her gentle yoga and chair yoga sessions at the Aging & Disability Resource Center of Central Wisconsin.
Hilliker, who also teaches through River Flow Yoga in Wausau, said her classes for seniors are adapted to their needs to keep joints aligned in a proper position to keep pressure off the knees, sacrum and back.
Yoga practice can be useful for rehabilitating from surgery and for managing chronic conditions, such as low back pain, she said.
Research continues to show exercises such as yoga poses can reduce pain and improve function, such as the ability to walk and move, according to the National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine of the National Institutes of Health.
Whatever exercises suit you best, seniors have much to gain from active living.
Its very rewarding to see what they can do for themselves, Martin said.

Schrader on 'cliff' deal: We just 'kicked the can down the road'
PORTLAND, Ore. – The late night vote Tuesday on the fiscal cliff deal split the House Republican leadership, but it also drew opposition from some Democrats; in fact, lawmakers in both Oregon and Washington did not vote like the rest of the country.
The House vote 257-167 followed the Senate in passing a bill to avoid massive spending cuts and tax increases that would have hit most Americans.
Sixteen of the 167 votes against the fiscal cliff deal came from Democrats, including three of Oregon's four Democratic representatives Earl Blumenauer, Peter DeFazio and Kurt Schrader.
"(We) basically just kicked the can down the road, which is something we said we weren't gonna be doing," Schrader told KATU News in an interview Wednesday. "We didn't do any spending reform. No entitlement reform. The entitlement programs are in big trouble. Medicare in particular (is in) big, big trouble."
Before the vote, Blumenauer tweeted "a poor stop gap plan is worse than the 'cliff.'"
traveling to Washington, where a poor stop gap plan is worse than the "cliff", which would force the tax and program reform America needs— Earl Blumenauer (@repblumenauer) December 30, 2012
On Wednesday, Blumenauer said, also in an interview with KATU, the deal represents the least lawmakers could have done under the circumstances.
"I'm really disappointed. This was an opportunity for us to do something major in terms of changing how we do business. An opportunity for meaningful tax reform," he said.
DeFazio called the details of the deal "dumb" saying, "This 'deal' hinders our ability to deal meaningfully with the deficit and burgeoning debt and puts in jeopardy Social Security and Medicare in the coming confrontation over the debt limit."
Rep. Suzanne Bonamici was the only yes vote from Oregon's Democratic delegation. She said the bill wasn't perfect, but the alternative was worse.
And Oregon's only Republican, Rep. Greg Walden, also backed it, saying it was crucial to avoid large-scale tax increases on middle-class Americans.
Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, whose district is in southwest Washington, also voted for the bill. Washington's three other GOP representatives did too.
New York and Pennsylvania are the only other states with multiple Republican House members who backed it.
The fiscal cliff deal passed by the House tonight neither tackles the largest drivers of our deficits, nor says we will do so in the future— Rep. Kurt Schrader (@RepSchrader) January 2, 2013

Matthew Greene, shown at Rocky Mountain National Park, Colo., in 2010, has been missing for more than a month in the Mammoth Lakes area of California's Eastern Sierra mountains, his family says. Authorities have searched without success for the Pennsylvania teacher. / Tom Davidock, AP
A Pennsylvania high school teacher has been missing for more than a month in the remote Eastern Sierra mountains of California, his family says.
Matthew Greene, 39, a Nazareth, Pa., high school math teacher, was last seen by friends while on a backpacking trip at Mammoth Lakes, Calif., and his family remains baffled by his disappearance, his sister, Tiffany Minto, tells the Associated Press.
"It just doesn't seem to me that he would go out for a day hike and not return," says Minto. "We can't visualize him getting himself into any kind of dangerous situation. He's the personality type who would just turn back if it was too dangerous."
Greene arrived in the California mountains in late June on a hiking and climbing trip with friends. He reportedly stayed behind at a campground when he had car trouble, awaiting repairs while his friends continued on their trip. He was last heard from July 16.
A hiker found a pair of eyeglasses that Minto says could be her brother's. They were turned over to the Mammoth Lakes Police Department, which is investigating Greene's disappearance.
Friends and volunteers have been conducting searches and posting about their efforts online. Some of his gear was discovered to be missing, and several pages were torn out of his guidebook, leading to speculation that he might have headed out on a hike, AP reported.
Police say they have little to go on. The area is vast and rugged with mountain peaks 12,000 feet and higher.
"Lots of people have gone into the back country looking, even friends of mine, but we have no leads as to where he might have hiked," Mammoth Lakes Detective Doug Hornbeck told the AP. "There are so many places to go, so many, and search and rescue doesn't know where to start. It's just such a vast area."

PARIS — Military equipment deals that require technical review will face a longer waiting period because of furloughs triggered by sequestration, a US Defense Department official said Tuesday at the Paris Air Show.
The furloughs, set to begin July 8, will result in delays, said Rizwan Ramakdawala, senior aerospace engineer at Defense Technology Security Administration (DTSA). The reviews include items sold through the International Traffic in Arms Regulations (ITAR) system and certain commercial sales.
The processing times will be affected, Ramakdawala said. We are all going to be furloughed come July 8, there will be a 20 percent reduction in workforce availability at DTSA, so you can definitely expect to see delays. We are not sure of any other way to avoid it.
DTSA is responsible for the technical review of sales to verify that sensitive technology is not exported inappropriately or accidentally.
The extent of the delays is unknown, and likely wont become clear until late July when the furloughs are in place.
Ramakdawala was speaking on a panel of US officials organized by the US Pavilion at the Paris Air Show. The panel was discussing recent efforts to reform the export control system. The initial batch of reforms, made official in April, move items that are not unique to defense products off of the US munitions list and into the hands of the Commerce Department, which has a simpler export process.
Officials on the panel said four more categories of items, to follow the two launched in April that included aircraft and engines, will soon be made official as well. The new categories will cover vehicles, ships, miscellaneous parts and submarines. ■

The smarmy essays of appreciation media outlets feel compelled to publish within hours of a celebrity's death can't help but simplify the life of the dearly departed.
In the case of James Gandolfini, the "Sopranos" star who died of a heart attack in Italy last week at the age of 51, they didn't come close.
Gandolfini, the son of a custodian and a school lunch worker, was a limited actor. Most actors have no choice but to play to their strengths to sustain a career, and Gandolfini, not just on television but in a variety of supporting film roles, almost always played the heavy. ...

Brian Hoyer is the 19th quarterback to start for the Browns since their return in 1999. Hoyer is only the second to win his debut, joining Jeff Garcia in 2004.
Brian Hoyer thought he was pretty calm making his first start for the Browns last week. That might pale in comparison to how he feels running out onto the field at FirstEnergy Stadium on Sunday to face the Bengals.
The North Olmstead, Ohio, native, who went to Cleveland St. Ignatius and then Michigan State, went to Browns games with his father, who had season tickets. He was born on the same day Bernie Kosar made his first NFL start.

Marine Corps Staff Sgt. Josh Clinard and his wife, Lisa, are seen with their then-two-week-old daughter, Courtney Rose. (Crystal Chatham / The Desert Sun)
- Filed Under
PALM SPRINGS — Lisa Clinard of Twentynine Palms was expecting her baby to be delivered in the hospital on Sept. 5, but Courtney Rose, her 5-pound, 2-ounce daughter, had other plans.
At 7:30 a.m. July 31, Clinard was experiencing discomfort and went to the naval hospital at the Marine Corps Air Ground Combat Center near her home. That evening, her water broke.
Realizing Clinard was about to give birth prematurely, hospital staff loaded her into a helicopter in the hopes of getting her to Loma Linda University Medical Center in as quickly as possible.
But even that mode of transportation proved too slow.
Clinard wound up delivering her baby girl in the tight quarters of a Mercy Air 18 helicopter with help from a flight paramedic and a flight nurse and only Percocet to dull the pain.
The experience in itself was scary and painful and I was worried about her and what couldve happened, but shes doing great, she said.
After the delivery, mother and child were rerouted to Desert Regional Medical Center in Palm Springs, where Courtney Rose was placed in neonatal intensive care.
Clinard and her husband, Josh, who missed the birth because he was en route to Loma Linda, said the non-hospital birth has resulted in a lot of red tape, particularly registering it with the county, getting a copy of the flight record, a signed statement from the crew, and proof of pregnancy from the doctor.
Even so, the Clinards said they are just happy Courtney Rose is doing well and are grateful for everyone who helped. The flight team visited Desert Regional on Tuesday, giving the couple a chance to thank them and see their daughters birthplace.

Yeoman Seaman Rodney Martin stands in front of Naval Technical Training Center Meridian, Miss., where he graduated from yeoman 'A' school on June 13. (Penny Randall/Navy)

Rodney Martin tears up the track during the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, Japan, as a member of Team USA. (Mark Baker / The Associated Press)
Six years removed from his moment on the Olympic stage, a world-class sprinter stands poised to begin his return to glory.
Its where hes standing thats unusual: In front of Naval Technical Training Center Meridian, Mississippi, where he recently attended yeoman A school.
Yeoman Seaman Rodney Martin earned a gold medal in the 2007 World Championships in Osaka, Japan, as a member of Team USAs 4x100-meter relay quartet. He ran in the lead spot in the same event in the 2008 Olympic final in Beijing; a late-race baton exchange knocked the U.S. off the medal stand.
After skipping Olympic qualifying in 2012 for lack of training funds, Martin decided to try again for the 2016 games in Rio de Janiero. Also, at age 31, he knew it was time to begin planning for life after sprinting.
That led him to the military, and after weighing the elite-athlete programs offered by the Navy, Army and Air Force, Martin decided to don the Dixie cup.
I know I have a gift, and to use my gift for my country is pretty much what Im doing anyway, running for Team USA, Martin said in a June 26 phone interview, adding that representing the Navy is something thats never been done before for sprinters, and I want to pave the way. Thats a legacy I want to be a part of.
He enlisted in February, made it through boot camp with a host of teenage recruits I guess you could say Ive been a mentor. ... I didnt know I was that old then graduated A school June 14 with the highest grades in his class, he said.
His efforts won at least one new fan.
He is the embodiment of our core values, truly believes in being a part of something bigger than himself and represents the finest our nation has to offer, said Cmdr. Robert Stockton, head of the training center, in a Navy news release.
Stocktons support is a critical early step for Martin as he learns another part of Navy life paperwork. The track star must apply for a spot in the All-Navy Sports program, earning the right to divert from his career path (next stop would be submarine school if he gets his top-secret clearance, he said) and into Olympic-level training.
He would compete as a representative of the Navy should officials view it as a worthwhile investment the Armys version of this setup, the World Class Athlete Program, sent several Olympians to the 2012 London games, primarily wrestlers and marksmen.
Being an ambassador, thats the easy part, Martin said. The Navy has shown me theres a lot of opportunities if you can take advantage of them. I dont know if everybodys cut out for them, but if youre dedicated and driven, then yes, you can be successful.
After missing an Olympic cycle, Martin may seem like a long shot to return to Team USA, but his personal-best time in the 100 meters, 9.95 seconds, wouldve been fifth on the entry list for the teams 2012 qualifying. And hes about a year younger than Justin Gatlin, who has been the fastest American in the 100 this year with times only a few hundredths of a second faster than Martins top run.
As for the Navys fitness program?
Im outstanding on all of my [physical fitness assessments], he said with a laugh, when asked to offer his critique. Im going to say ... its working. Lets just leave it there. As far as the average person coming into the Navy, its great for them.

The U.S. Department of Justice has filed a lawsuit seeking to block the school voucher program beginning in the 2014-2015 school year in parishes under desegregation orders. The movement of students can - and has, in some instances - upset the racial balance in schools, making them noncompliant with desegregation plans.
Gov. Bobby Jindal has vowed to fight the Justice Department.
And the unfortunate reality is that while adults play this game of legal tug-of-war, many of the children in the program are caught in the middle.
The voucher program, formally known as the Louisiana Scholarship Program, which the Jindal administration helped to push through the Legislature, offers scholarships to children in public schools rated C, D or F so they can attend private, religious and A or B public schools.
It is a fine idea in theory, but putting it into practice is proving to be a challenge.
The program faced an earlier challenge when the Louisiana Supreme Court ruled it unconstitutional to use public school funds to pay for private school tuition, so the Jindal administration shifted to using money from the general fund.
And now, the Jindal administration must either prevail against the Justice Department or find another work-around to keep the controversial program intact.
Already, the Justice Department has said the loss of five white students from Independence Elementary School in Tangipahoa Parish has reinforced "the racial identity of the school as a black school." The opposite has happened to Cecilia Primary School in St. Martin Parish, which is now identified by law as a white school, according to a report from the Associated Press.
It is upsetting to learn that desegregation agreements hammered out by school districts and the federal government may be jeopardized. In St. Landry Parish, a a four-decades-old desegregation case was settled in 2011 with great effort and expense.
St. Landry Parish may be one of those affected if the DOJ is successful - a school district spokesperson said there are more than 130 students from that parish currently participating in the voucher program.
The number of students from Lafayette Parish were unavailable for the current school year, but state Superintendent John White told The Daily Advertiser on Wednesday there are "quite a few." In the 2012-2013 school year, there were between 130 and 145.
White said there are only 34 school districts under desegregation orders and most are rural parishes - but that's almost half of Louisiana's 70 school districts distributed among its 64 parishes - although only 22 of those districts currently have students in the program.
White said one in seven of the roughly 8,000 students in the scholarship program will be affected. That's more than 1,100 children who may be subjected to upheaval in the next year.
Jindal and White have been vocal in their indignation.
In an excerpt from a video statement provided to The Daily Advertiser by Jindal's office, he proclaims, "You can tell I am angry about this."
White sees a cruel irony in the fact that while federal desegregation orders are meant to ensure a good education to minority students, in his view, the DOJ lawsuit seeks to deny them that very thing. Ninety percent of students in the voucher program are black, White added.
But the administration should shoulder some responsibility for this turn of events. Many in the education community have predicted these problems from the outset.
Didn't the Jindal administration see them coming?
Yes, White said Wednesday, but "we can't not do the right thing because there's a possibility somebody will try to stop you."
Perhaps not, but you could try to find ways to iron out wrinkles like violating the state constitution or federal court orders before launching a program.
This latest development is just another example of the Jindal's "cross-that-bridge-when-we-come-to-it" philosophy.
Some believe the voucher program is the salvation of education in Louisiana. Others believe it will destroy public education.
Either way, this back-and-forth, start-and-stop brand of education reform can't be good for these children whose fate seems to constantly be in question.

Green River Rafting in Colorado:
Gates of Lodore - Overview
Set aside as an American treasure in 1915 under the National Park Service, Dinosaur National Monument is an open-air archive of ancient Native American sites and far-out fossils unearthed by wind, water and time. Within the monument, the Green River rafting trip winds its way through three distinct canyons: Lodore, Whirlpool and Split Mountain all of which contain geological curiosities and rich human history. Lodore was the first major canyon encountered by John Wesley Powell and his men on their 1869 expedition. At its start, the river twists through a catacomb of scarlet slot canyons, yawning valleys and lush ledges of emerald evergreen and brush. Exploration is the mission of the day as the Green promises dozens of side hikes, relaxing nights on the beach and moderate whitewater perfect for young families and laid-back vacationers.

"Thanks to all of you at O.A.R.S. for a spectacular and top-notch river trip! I will enjoy looking back at my pictures and remembering all the wonderful moments my 3 friends and I enjoyed. We get together every so often to go off on a trip, and the ones we have done with O.A.R.S. certainly rate an A+!!"
Patricia Kepner ~Henderson, NV
"The weather was awesome - (hot) and the river was cold - a perfect combination! My kids were thoroughly entertained by the other guests and the river guides. The food was fabulous, hikes were great and helped us work off all the gourmet food. Safety was paramount and the guides were well prepared for all mishaps - including fishing a few of us out of the river after getting thrown out of the duckies in the rapids! My kids skipped stones, fished for minnows and buried each other in the sand. Equipment was top notch too. A fabulous vacation and one we would do again with O.A.R.S...The guides did a great job of making everyone feel that their satisfaction and experience was a top priority. The costume party on the last night was a big hit as well as the ducky slide into the river on night 2...We had such a good time. We encouraged our friends to join us and even though the wife in that couple was leery of camping in the wild with "critters" she had a great time and would do another trip again. The other guests on the trip were great too - there were 7 boys ages 9-13 and they had a ball. This was a great family trip."
Gail Smith ~ Steamboat Springs, CO
"The guides were excellent. They provided many opportunities to try new things but always with safety oversight. My 9 year old and 12 year old boys had a great time. The guides also had lots of interesting information and stories and they were very fun! The food was excellent with good variety. The equipment was all in good shape and we liked having a variety of rafts (regular, paddle boats, duckies) to use during the trip. That really added an element of variety and interest to the trip. We enjoyed every aspect of the trip."
Jackie White ~Portage, MI
"The guides are the perfect combination of fun-loving, adventure seeking personalities, coupled with the utmost professionalism. Their concern for safety, their undauntable energy, and their knowledge of the flora, fauna, and geological information made the trip an unforgettable experience."
Dulanie Ellis-LeBarre ~Ojai, CA
"Everything was just great - the food, the guides, and the scenery could not have been better. The "duckies" were a great addition. We really appreciate that, although the group was only 10 guests, we still had four big rafts and four guides. You could have crammed us together but you didn't. Very nice and much better than the other groups we saw on the trip."
Steve Adams ~Prescott, AZ
"The friendliness, knowledge, and experience of the guides. The blending of the group--especially the kids-- and the side hikes were wonderful. The guides also helped us to feel like we were not in any rush and could stay and enjoy the areas we went to for as long as we wanted."
Dea Brayden ~Denver, CO
"We most enjoyed the quality of the trip itinerary, the professionalism of the boatmen, and the organization of the daily schedule. The pace was excellent and helped the group build toward harder paddling and longer days. The meals were all excellent - fresh and well prepared. I especially enjoyed that each evening the guides would prepare us for the next day, read stories and poetry and sing. The overall atmosphere had a wonderful balance of relaxation and attention to safety/well-being of the group."
Susan Yeres ~San Francisco, CA
"All five of our river guides were absolutely wonderful in terms of their skills, their knowledge of the area's history and geography, their patience and care for all of us, their humor, and the incredibly wonderful meals they fixed for us. Our entire group of 15 was delightful. The whole experience was amazing!"
Betty Gurnell ~Chapin, SC
The guides were enthusiastic, knowledgeable, hard working, interested in us as individuals, dealt well with some challenging moments. We especially enjoyed the range of ages among the guides. The Green River was beautiful, the history was interesting. Weather was perfect.

Future NBA and college stars always put on a show at the 'Iolani Classic
POSTED: 1:30 a.m. HST, Dec 18, 2012
LAST UPDATED: 10:30 a.m. HST, Dec 18, 2012
The 'Iolani Classic might have reached its current status even if Stu Vetter hadn't picked up the phone that afternoon in 1984.
But Glenn Young is convinced his conversation with the then-Flint Hill Prep basketball coach marked the coming of age of his fledgling tournament.
"I normally wouldn't have answered that phone," Vetter recalled. "I was walking through the office building of the school and the phone was ringing and I picked it up."
Young was on the other end offering an invitation to play in the 'Iolani Classic. Vetter agreed to bring the storied program from Virginia to Oahu, providing the tournament with the cachet to eventually attract other premier programs to the islands.
"He thought I was joking," Young said. "It was just a stroke of luck that I was able to get him to come."
A near constant stream of the nation's elite teams — bringing a parade of eventual major college and NBA stars with them — have followed, with another powerful field lined up for the 29th edition, which begins today at 'Iolani.
Findlay Prep (Nev.) makes its tournament debut against Moanalua on Wednesday as the No. 1 team in the USA Today Super 25. Oak Hill (Va.), last year's national champion, was second in the poll before slipping to No. 6 last week. Vetter also returns with reigning 'Iolani Classic champion and 12th-ranked Montrose Christian (Md.).
La Lumiere (the event's first entrant from Indiana), Yates (Texas), John Carroll (Md.), Coolidge (Washington D.C.) and Tsinghua (China) also join eight Hawaii teams in the field.
"This is one of the strongest fields ever," said Vetter, a tournament regular who has made the trip with four schools (Flint Hill, Harker Prep, St. John's Prospect Hall and Montrose Christian).
"Year in, year out, this is the best high school tournament in America."
While Vetter's decision to join the 1985 field helped elevate the tournament, "it's all Glenn's vision," he said. "I'm glad we can be a small part of it."
That vision arose out of Young's desire to help local basketball out of "the dark ages."
The former 'Iolani head coach came to that assessment seeing his team — which went on to win a state championship — overwhelmed in a tournament in Las Vegas in 1983.
"I said in order for our kids in Hawaii to upgrade the level of their play, they've gotta see this kind of basketball," Young said. "They have to be exposed to good players and good coaching to raise their level of play."
The tournament was given a further boost when Nike signed on as a sponsor, and while it has thrived on bringing in high-level teams from the mainland, providing opportunities for local players remains at its core.
Kalaheo head coach Alika Smith's first exposure to the Classic predated his high school career, sitting on the bench as his father, Pete Smith, coached the Mustangs. He went on to play in four 'Iolani Classics and credited the experience for aiding in his transition to college ball at the University of Hawaii.
"It's just a great opportunity for these kids from Hawaii to play future NBA guys and to be on the same court as them," said Smith, who leads the Mustangs against Yates today at 5 p.m. "But there's a mind-frame, when I played, that we're going to go out the same way we've been doing all year and we're going to get after it.
"It helped me because … once you play against better competition you're only going to get better."
Both Smith and current 'Iolani head coach Dean Shimamoto played in the 1993 tournament that included future college and NBA players Jerry Stackhouse and Jeff McInnis (Oak Hill), Jacque Vaughn (John Muir) and Felipe Lopez (Rice).
"We played against St. John's Prospect Hall, and they had (eventual UCLA guard) Cameron Dollar and Curtis Staples (Virginia)," Shimamoto said. "We were on fire. The first half we hit five or six 3s. We were down two at the half. And I just remember being completely tired and we got blown out."
The scores between the local and mainland teams have tended to be lopsided, but there's still something to be gained for the Hawaii players.
"It's like these are real guys and you can do things against them. And once (the players) realize that, they start playing," Shimamoto said. "They stop playing scared and later it turns out to be a good reference point to look back and say 'You were able to do this against that guy,' and that helps us."
The list of "that guys" who've passed through 'Iolani's gym includes an array of players who went on to decorated careers in college and in the NBA.
West Philadelphia's Howard Evans was the MVP of the inaugural tournament and Flint Hill's Dennis Scott won the award twice on his way to a career as one of the game's top 3-point shooters at Georgia Tech and with the Orlando Magic.
The 1987 tournament remains a landmark, when Bobby Hurley led St. Anthony's (N.J.) past Malik Sealy's Tolentine (N.Y.) team in overtime in a championship-game matchup of the nation's top two teams.
That tournament also featured Dunbar's Sam Cassell (Florida State/Houston Rockets) and Fairfax's Chris Mills (Arizona/Golden State Warriors). But the tournament's scoring title belonged to Molokai's Jarinn Akana, who averaged 30.3 points that week.
In looking back nearly three decades, Young regards the 2003 Oak Hill team — led by Rajon Rondo (Kentucky, Boston Celtics) and Josh Smith (Atlanta Hawks) — as one of the best to play in the Classic.
Kevin Durant played in the 2005 tournament with Montrose before winning NCAA Player of the Year honors at Texas the following season and claiming the NBA scoring title with the Oklahoma City Thunder each of the last three years. Kemba Walker followed in 2007 and went on to star at Connecticut.
Young rates the 2008 double-overtime final, when Oak Hill's Lamont "Momo" Jones poured in 40 points against Montrose Christian, as perhaps the top game in tournament history.
"Believe me, every team on the mainland would love to come to the 'Iolani Prep Classic," Vetter said.
Some Iolani Classic players through the years who went on to star in the NBA:

Last year, Pensacola News Journal awarded Ronald McDonald House Charities' Welcome Home Project a $5,000 to provide a year's worth of baby bags for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House.
- Filed Under
Make A Difference Day is fast approaching. Across the Pensacola Bay Area, community organizers and local volunteers will soon be taking part in a myriad projects to improve their communities as part of a nationwide campaign of caring.
On Oct. 26, Pensacola News Journal, USA Weekend Magazine, Points of Light, Newman's Own, and the Gannett Foundation along with millions of volunteers will join forces to make a difference.
Since 1992, USA Weekend's Make A Difference Day has been the nation's largest single day of volunteering, with more than three million people participating. The Pensacola News Journal's purpose as a company is to serve the greater good of the nation and our communities. And, it is with that purpose in mind that we invite you to join forces with us to make an even greater impact in our communities this year through Make A Difference Day.
Last year, Pensacola News Journal awarded Ronald McDonald House Charities' Welcome Home Project a $5,000 Make A Difference Day grant to provide a year's worth of baby bags for families staying at the Ronald McDonald House.
This year, the News Journal is sponsoring a community food drive for the local USO. In times of peace and war, the USO consistently delivers its special brand of comfort, morale, and recreational services to service members and their families. Its mission, "To lift the spirits of military members and their families, wherever they may serve, until everyone comes home," still rings true after more than 70 years.
With many military members stationed and deployed far away from home, there is a profound need for the USO along with many other community needs. That's why any good deed, alone or with a group can make a profound difference. Whether you volunteer for the USO community food drive or sponsor your own Make A Difference Day activity, every little bit helps to build a stronger community.
Last year in Gulf Breeze, kids washed cars so their teachers could have the most up-to-date computers. Catholic High students participated in one of 26 projects, including repairing and painting animal cages at the Wildlife Sanctuary, working on a house for Habitat for Humanity and constructing a wheelchair ramp with the Pensacola Civitan Club. Community gardens were also created in the Morris Court and Sanchez Court housing complexes.
It's all for the community.
"The great thing about Pensacola is that the people of this community work each day to make a positive difference in the lives of others," said Becca Boles, the News Journal's interim president and publisher. "Almost every time we have alerted our community to a need, someone steps up to fill it."
Pensacola News Journal and Bella Magazine have a long, rich history of community leadership and our commitment to volunteerism goes far beyond a single day. It is who we are as a community and what we do. To volunteer today, call Gregory Clay at 435-8693.

"We got stagnant in the third," said Magic coach Jacque Vaughan. "They're long and athletic and they made it tough for us."
Brooklyn opened the second half on a 10-2 run with Johnson opening and Alan Anderson closing the spurt with 3-pointer to stake the Nets a 56-44 lead.
The lead swelled to as many as 21 when Blatche hit a pair of free throws in the opening minute of the fourth quarter. Brooklyn cruised to the easy victory from there.

The two teams played a tightly-contested first half. Brooklyn led 27-21 after one quarter, but an Oladipo jumper tied the game at 42-42 late in the second. Johnson scored four straight to close the half and give the Nets a slim 46-42 lead at the break.

I found a photographer in Clermont and had my session scheduled for 36 weeks. Then Nathan decided to throw a curve ball and show up before I ever got to take any pictures. I did have my monthly belly shots, but nothing like I had imagined.
Then I got pregnant with Noah and all I dreamed about was those perfect maternity pictures.
We have an amazing friend, Kim who is also an amazing photographer. She and her husband were also expatriated in Clermont but moved back to South Carolina in June. I was lucky enough to have her take pictures of Nathan when he was only 7 months old. That is why when I found out she would be back in France during the month of December, I begged her to do a maternity session for me.
I was ecstatic when she said yes, and was even more ecstatic that I was still pregnant when the time came to have the photo session!
She did an amazing job, and I have to admit that I almost cried when I received the beautiful CD with the pictures. It is exactly what I had in mind and it captured so wonderfully our *almost* family of four.
I can't thank Kim enough for capturing these special moments in my family's life. (All photos courtesy and copyrights of Kimberly Cabe Photography)

Forces on the left tibia indicate that injuries to the lower leg would be likely. Forces on the foot were high enough to damage the dummy's steel "foot bone," indicating that injuries to the left foot would be likely. Forces on the left femur indicate that injuries to the upper leg would be possible. Head acceleration from the B-pillar hit was low.
Dummy movement wasn't well controlled. As the dummy moved into the airbag, its torso went under and to the left of the bag. During rebound, the dummy's head hit the B-pillar. There was far too much upward movement of the steering wheel.

The RAV4 after the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety front small overlap test: slamming at 40 mph into a five-foot-high barrier that overlaps 25% of the vehicle width on the driver's side. / IIHS
Toyota's redesigned RAV4 small SUV got the worst-possible score in an especially demanding crash test by the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety.
The 2013 RAV4 got a "poor" ranking in what the IIHS calls the "front small overlap" test.
Nonetheless, it scored "good" -- IIHS' top ranking -- in the four other types of crash tests, and earned a Top Safety Pick designation from the insurance industry trade organization.
The top-rated small SUVs are the 2014 Subaru Forester and 2013 Mitsubishi Outlander, which are rated Top Safety Pick Plus, the organization's highest award. Forester was rated "good" in the small overlap test and Outlander Sport "acceptable." Both were "good" in all other categories.
IIHS says it was testing small SUVs earlier this year and Toyota asked it to temporarily exclude the new RAV. Toyota said it was making some changes to RAV4s built after April that it thought would improve the vehicle's performance in the offset test. IIHS says it routinely will delay testing a vehicle if design changes are imminent.
The organization previously published results for the other small SUVs it tested and now is reporting the RAV4's scores.
The small overlap test involves crashing a vehicle at 40 mph into a 5-foot-high barrier, on the driver's side, that overlaps 25% of the vehicle's width.
It is meant to simulate hitting a pole or tree or other fixed object.
It is a "tough new test" added to the IIHS battery of tests just last year, says Russ Rader, senior vice president at IIHS.
"Research showed that about 25% of serious injuries in frontal crashes are in the small overlap types of crashes," he says.
It's "not surprising" that few vehicles do well in the test, he says. "Not all manufacturers have been designing for it."
Auto companies need as much as several years lead time to make the kinds of structural changes that a new test could require.
RAV4 has company. Five other small SUVs flunked the small-overlap test, but aced all the others and get the Top Safety Pick designation, one slot below the "Plus" accolade.
"We're not saying that all these others are suddenly unsafe because they fail this new test," Rader says.
Here are the other Top Safety Pick small SUVs that, as the RAV4 is, are rated "poor" in the overlap crash but "good" in everything else. All are 2013 models, except as noted:
Four other small SUVs designated Top Safety Pick scored "marginal" in the small overlap test and "good" in all others. To win the "Plus" designation requires "acceptable" or "good" in the small overlap crash.
Here are those four, all 2013 models except as noted:

PUTNUM RALLIES FOR THE WIN WITH 5-UNDER-PAR 67 Thirteen-year-old Frasier birdies No.18 to claim her first AJGA event
PORT ORCHARD, Wash. — Andrew Putnam of University Place, Wash., fired a 5-under-par 67 and overcame a four-stroke deficit to win the Boys Division title at the Pacific Northwest International Junior Presented by Jeff Troesch. Thirteen-year-old Danielle Frasier of Encinitas, Calif., birdied her last hole of the day to take the Girls Division title by one stroke.
Conducted by the American Junior Golf Association, the Pacific Northwest International Junior presented by Jeff Troesch was played at the par-72 Trophy Lake Golf & Casting. Sixty-three boys and 20 girls ages 12-18 competed in the 54-hole event, from seven states and Canada, including 31 players from California and 29 from Washington.
Putnam had six birdies during his round to mount his comeback. He birdied Nos. 6, 7, and 8 to close with a two-under-par 34 on the front nine. Two consecutive birdies on Nos. 17 and 18 gave him a slight cushion heading into the clubhouse.
"I don't know," Putnam said. "It seems like whenever I'm close to the lead, I just start making birdies."
His 4-under-par 212 tournament total gives Putnam confidence heading into bigger events during the year.
"The thought of playing in the [majors]," Putnam said. "That's going to be crazy."
Ronnald Monaco of Rancho Cucamonga, Calif., finished in second with a 2-under-par 214 tournament total. FootJoy Boys Invitational Champion Andrew Yun of Tacoma, Wash., posted a 215 total for third while T.J. Bordeaux also of Tacoma, Wash., came in fourth at 217. In fifth, Nick Ellis of East Wenatchee, Wash., finished at 218.
Frasier came to No. 18 tied for the lead with Danielle Kang of Oak Park, Calif., when Frasier was faced with a tough decision. After her drive found the fairway, Frasier wasn't sure if she should go for the green in two.
She went for it.
"Surprisingly, I was really calm," Frasier said. "I got up to the ball, calmed myself down, and went for it."
Frasier roped a 4-wood from 215 yards to the center of the green. She two-putted for birdie and the win. Frasier, who was down four strokes after eight holes, is now aware of her place in AJGA history.
"It's really exciting," Frasier said. "There are big names who have won AJGA events… to win my first AJGA [tournament], this is just really big."
Kang finished one-stroke behind Frasier in second with a 217 tournament total. Ashley Smith of Calgary, Alberta, finished third with a three-day total of 219.

DONA ANA RANGE — More than 3,800 Soldiers from 2nd Brigade, 1st Armored Division, deployed to the field Oct. 15 to begin the evaluation of capabilities in a tactical environment.
This evaluation is being conducted during Network Integration Evaluation 13.1, which is the fourth in a series of soldier-led exercises that provides a venue for integrated evaluation of capabilities in a tactical context with feedback directly from the soldier level.
According to senior leaders, the goal of the NIEs is to integrate and mature the Army's tactical network and mission command tools in order to fundamentally change the way they deliver capabilities to the Army.
"The biggest lessons we've learned is the faster you get a new solution in the hands of a soldier, the sooner you can stop doing something that does not have a lot of merit and the sooner you can accelerate a capability solution that's got real opportunities — all to the effect of getting our soldiers the tools they need to do their mission better," said Lt. Gen. Keith C. Walker, deputy commanding general of Futures and director of Army Capabilities Integration Center.
For five weeks, soldiers will engage in key missions during NIE 13.1, such as connecting soldiers to the Network, building the Common Operational Picture and refining mounted and dismounted Mission Command on the Move.
"It's not really a failure if a system doesn't work if you know why, and if you know how to fix it and you have a way to fix it," said Ash. "That's why we're out here; it's to play with new systems that the Army is thinking about buying."
Ash said the challenge at each echelon, from squad, platoon, company or battalion level is to meet test requirements while still training soldiers. Soldiers can only accomplish individual and collective tasks in a field environment, he added.
Planners said the exercise consists of different mission scenarios including establishing a command post, reconnaissance, battle drills and missions at each echelon performed across all Warfighting Functions.
"My hope is that the soldiers won't even know that it's a test," said Ash. "This is a field exercise. If you take away all the gizmos we're just out here doing what Soldiers do - coming to the field and accomplishing missions."
Spc. Ishanay Spillman from 47th Brigade Support Battalion, who is also participating in her fourth NIE, said she benefits from the exercise because she hones her skills in providing logistical support and that in turn benefits soldiers.
"We're important," said Spillman. "We supply their fuel, their food, their transportation, we supply everything."
Soldiers like Pvt. Courtney Raymond, also from 47th BSB, who are involved with the NIE for the first time, said they are excited to be part of a unit in which soldier feedback is considered so important in the modernization of the Army.
"I think it's good that they are trying to better support the Army by testing new equipment and seeing what works better and what doesn't," said Raymond.
"What's Up at WSMR" is a weekly feature provided by White Sands Missile Range. This week's feature was written by Lt. Col. Deanna Bague of Brigade Modernization Command.

In Neill Blomkamp's dystopian science-fiction fantasy, Matt Damon's Max is a tattooed grunt stranded on the Earth of the future, a dismal, dried-out planet filled with have-nots who live short, brutish lives. The rich have long ago decamped to their own shiny, inhabitable satellite, Elysium, where all its citizens enjoy miraculous health-o-matic machines installed in every home. Following a series of unfortunate events-- on this future Earth, there is no other kind-- Max accepts a mission to help his fellow citizens. Among the obstacles in his way are Elysium's super-defensive secretary-of-defense-type Delacourt (Jodie Foster), who makes her entrance in a Jetsons-worthy tailored white dress and a Tilda Swinton haircut, looking so sharp you could cut yourself on her flaring nostrils. You don't have to be a bloodhound to smell an allegory shaping up here, particularly if you've seen writer-director Blomkamp's 2009 debut feature, District 9, in which members of an extraterrestrial race who have landed on Earth are forced to live in grimy slums while humans get the cushy suburbs. Elysium doesn't have District 9's brashness. Thematically it looks and feels almost like a sequel, made with a lot more money though not with more ingenuity or feeling, and while Blomkamp's message is morally stalwart, his delivery system sure is a bummer. You can see why Damon would be attracted to this material, whose politics are in line with his own. But he looks sluggish even when he's on the run. In Elysium, not even cheerful, smart, principled, energetic Matt Damon can save the world without figuratively stopping every so often to say, "Oy! My back!"Stephanie Zacharek

Technically, Alec Zorbaugh did the same thing last season for Spring Grove.
Around this time a year ago, Zorbaugh stepped out on the Rockets' home mat in the final bout of the night against South Western, only to find out he had won by forfeit. The Rockets captured the York-Adams Division I title as a result.
Fast forward to Thursday night at South Western. In the second-to-last bout, Rockets' coach Tony Miller sent out Zorbaugh (120 pounds) to face Mustangs' junior Cole Sterrett.
The performance won't go down as the best of the night, but Zorbaugh's escape in the second period turned out to be the only point of the bout. Nonetheless, the victory over Sterrett locked up the win for Spring Grove and gave the Rockets another division title.
After getting up off the mat, Zorbaugh responded by yanking off his head gear and pointing to the lively Spring Grove crowd.
"My friend was up there. He was glancing at me before I went out and telling me 'You know what you have to do.' I just nodded," Zorbaugh said. "I didn't even think about it. It was just a reaction when I pointed up there."
Zack Clingan (126 pounds) scored a technical fall in the last bout to make the final score 33-19 in favor of the Rockets.
Spring Grove (10-0 division, 20-0 overall) has now won or shared the division title six years in a row, winning it outright five out of the last six seasons. Thursday's win also wrapped up the second undefeated regular season in program history, having last accomplished the feat in 2009-10 (17-0).
"It's hard to do that year in and year out," Miller said. "It's so hard to go undefeated. That's really tough. We're looking forward to districts now."
Spring Grove entered the night sitting at No. 4 in the most recent District 3-AAA power rankings. With Thursday's win, the Rockets should remain in the top four spots, which means they'll be one of four teams to host the first two rounds of the district team tournament Tuesday night.
South Western (9-1, 9-3), which entered ranked at No. 9, will likely still make the 16-team district tournament despite the loss. The Mustangs have now finished in the top three in the division six out of the last seven years.
"Regardless of what the score is, this is better than what I had planned out," South Western coach Brad Zeigler said. "I was putting some lineups together. And we have at least half of our kids with losing records or .500 (records). So to do what we did, I wished we could've done a little bit more. But I think we had some kids step up."
The Rockets certainly appeared to hold the upper-hand early. Spring Grove didn't allow a point until the 50-second mark of the third period in the third bout of the night and won six of the first seven bouts to open up a 25-3 advantage.
Senior A.J. Jones (195) got the momentum going for the Mustangs with a 3-1 decision over senior Tyler Beckner. It turned out to be the first of five straight bouts won by South Western to get the Mustangs to within 25-19 going into the 120-pound bout.
The rally included the most impressive bout of the match that paired up arguably the two best 220-pounders in the league in Aram Moffitt (South Western) and Alex Guinn (Spring Grove). Guinn scored a reversal with eight seconds left in the third period to send it to overtime, where Moffitt won it with a takedown 22 seconds into the first OT period.
Rockets' senior Jonathon Gross (170) had the lone pin of the match.
BERMUDIAN SPRINGS 39, BIGLERVILLE 20: At Biglerville, the Eagles continued their dominance of York-Adams Division II, sewing up their seventh title in the last eight years, including four straight. Bermudian has gone 73-1 in division matches during that streak. Biglerville was the only other team to win a Division II title during that run in 2009. Both teams entered Thursday's showdown at 7-0 in the division. Bermudian improved to 21-4 overall, while Biglerville fell to 22-2. Bermudian got a pin from Dalton Becker (120). The Eagles were also helped by two forfeits at 145 and 195. Biglerville got a pin from Jasper Hankey (138).
DALLASTOWN 52, RED LION 21: At Red Lion, the Wildcats rolled past their arch-rival behind pins from Tanner Druck (152), Luke Baldwin (170) and Wesley Hoover (138). Dallastown also got technical falls from Andrew Pierce (113), Nicholas Shields (120) and Rodney Sunday (126). Red Lion got pins from Rodney Eid (160), Shawn Karlin (106) and Austin Holloway (145). Dallastown finished up its York-Adams Division I season at 8-2, good for third place.
WEST YORK 58, SUS QUEHANNOCK 12: At Glen Rock, the Bulldogs finished up 6-4 in York-Adams Division I action. West York has now had back-to-back winning league seasons for the first time since 1997. The Bulldogs got pins from Allen Stauffer (132), Ryan Narber (145), Jake Oliver (152) and Jake Gemmill (220). West York was also helped by four forfeits. Susquehannock got a pin from Ray Wenger at 170.
EASTERN YORK 45, HANOVER 25: At Wrightsville, the Golden Knights finished 6-2 in York-Adams Division II, sewing up a third-place finish. The Knights got pins from Dillon Mackley (182), Alex Cooley (220), Camden Stoops (285), Dalton Lauer (126) and Toby Barnhart (132). Hanover got pins from Ian Brown (145), Caleb Garland (120) and Zach Barnes (138).
CENTRAL YORK 45, NORTHEASTERN 34: At Central, the Panthers dominated the lower weights, winning every bout but one from 106 through 160. Central got pins from Dylan Chatterton (113), Sam Butler (120), Richard Blaine (132) and Leonard Parker (160). Northeastern got pins from Peter Gordineer (182) and Nick Yinger (195).
FAIRFIELD 40, YORK TECH 36: At Tech, the Green Knights got pins from Nicole Small (106), Wayne Wivell (145), Nick Mort (160), Jacob Miller (220) and Brett Harris (285) to earn the win. York Tech got pins from Gary Hake (132), Cameron Stewart (152) and Dylan Hartlaub (170).

What Good is God?
Ignatian Center series probes faith
A Marxist who says atheists and believers alike are woefully misinformed about the nature of faith and God.
A theologian whose work explores animals as spiritual beings.
An editor who worked with famed Catholic activist Dorothy Day through the final years of her life.
These are among the provocative and thoughtful speakers participating in the annual Bannan Institute lectures throughout the academic year at Santa Clara University.
The Institute's theme "What Good is God?" is especially pertinent at a time when one-fifth of the U.S. public and one-third of adults under age 30 identify as religiously unaffiliated, and when violence is justified erroneously as necessary for religious devotion, says Michael McCarthy, S.J., executive director of Santa Clara's Ignatian Center for Jesuit Education.
"'God' is one of those topics that lots of people are afraid to talk about for lots of reasons," said McCarthy, who will give a talk on April 15 titled "How can a thinking person still believe in God?"
"At Santa Clara University, we are not afraid," he added.
Speakers will approach the question "What Good is God?" from multiple angles, such as:
God and Conscience. On Oct. 30, Catholic writers including Ron Hansen, Tobias Wolff, Bo Caldwell, and Robert Ellsberg will discuss the influence of heroes of conscience such as Dorothy Day and Oscar Romero on their journeys of faith. Also, on Nov. 6, Jerome Baggett of SCU's Jesuit School of Theology will discuss his upcoming book on American atheists.
God and Violence. On Nov. 12, Professor William Cavanaugh of DePaul University will discuss the relationship between "secular" violence and "religious" violence, inviting us to question if there is any significant difference.
God and Google. Noreen Herzfeld, a professor of theology and computer science at St. John's University, studies the social and religious impacts of computer technology on our collective memory. She argues that as we rely more on technology as an external memory, we alter how and what we remember and alter our capacity for forgiveness. She'll discuss her research on this topic on Feb. 2, 2014.
God and Space. Brother Guy Consolmagno, S.J., the conservator of meteorites at the Vatican Observatory in Rome will discuss the relationship between the assumptions of science and faith in God on Feb. 11.
God and Literature. On Feb. 26, Pulitzer Prize-winning author Marilynne Robinson will discuss the way in which grace is manifested in Shakespeare and what this may suggest about our engagement with God in human tragedy and comedy.
God and Animals. As part of a symposium session on March 1, Santa Clara University religious studies lecturer, Oliver Putz, will discuss the possibility of nonhuman spiritual beings and consider the challenges this possibility issues to human primacy from a theological perspective.
God and Higher Education. On April 22, a Harvard professor who has studied the marginalization of religion at educational institutions such as Harvard, Yale, Columbia, Johns Hopkins, and Stanford will discuss why the religious roots of such schools devolved over time. She will be joined by two professors from the Religion in the Academy project, who will discuss their findings regarding the surging interest in religion on college campuses today, as students grapple with the importance of religious literacy and inter-religious understanding in a globalized world.
God and Grief. On May 7, SCU counseling psychology professor David Feldman and Cal State Northridge philosophy professor Robert Gressis will share their research to date about how faith and religious belief impacts one's anxiety about death. Their talk will be based on their SCU Bannan Institute-funded study of Jesuit priests, philosophy professors, and college students.
A full list of speakers and the exact dates and times of their talks can be found at www.scu.edu/ic/bannan
