|"New Avengers" #54 on sale next week
He may be the boss of bosses in the supervillain underworld of the Marvel Universe, but even The Hood has a master: Dormammu, a powerful demonic entity from the realm known as the Dark Dimension. In the current arc of âNew Avengersâ Dormammu has sent the Hood on a mission to pave the way for his invasion of Earth by preventing the planetâs new Sorcerer Supreme from being chosen. But the Hood was too late, and Brother Voodoo was named successor to Doctor Strange as the new Sorcerer Supreme in âNew Avengersâ #53.
With The Hood on his way, will Brother Voodoo survive his baptism of fire? What's next for the New Avengers and their ongoing war against the Hood and his associate Norman Osborn? For the answers to these questions â and more -- CBR News spoke with âNew Avengersâ writer Brian Michael Bendis.
It was the quasi-sentient artifact the Eye of Agamotto that chose the new Sorcerer Supreme at the end of âNew Avengersâ #53, and the choice of Brother Voodoo (a.k.a. Jericho Drumm) surprised a number of readers. âWe discussed who would have the most interesting stories to tell if there was to be a new Sorcerer Supreme and we thought Brother Voodoo -- who will now be referred to as Doctor Voodoo since he's an actual doctor and it isn't the '70s [laughs] -- was a great choice,â Bendis told CBR News.
âIf you hear the pitch of who Doctor Voodoo is, you go, 'Hey that's pretty interesting,'â Bendis said. Doctor Voodoo had to learn magic to stop a powerful sorcerer and avenge his brother's murder. âHis dead brother's soul is inside him so he's got this constant voice telling him what to do. He was a reluctant hero who had things thrust upon him and those characters are always the best.
âWe also thought him not knowing he was going to be chosen as the next Sorcerer Supreme opened up different layers of magic as well,â Bendis continued. âSometimes lazy writers would write Doctor Strange as a wash away, but there was a lot of logic to his powers. With Doctor Voodoo, if you do your research on Voodoo and use it as the template to build your fantasy, there's a lot of cool stuff you can do there. It's a new bag of tricks.â
|Pages from "New Avengers" #54
Once Jericho Drumm was chosen as the next Sorcerer Supreme, Bendis undertook an extensive amount of research on the subject of real-life Voodoo. âI felt like Voodoo was something I knew nothing about and writers are supposed to do research, so I felt I needed to learn a lot. I spent most of the winter reading books on Voodoo, what it means and its history. I was in New York and I had all these books on me and [Marvel Editorin-Chief] Joe Quesada asked, 'What are those for?' I said they were for Brother Voodoo and mentioned that part of the problem with the character was that no one had really done a god damn bit of research on Voodoo. I didn't really use any of my research but I felt better writing him. I felt like I understood where he came from and what was going on.â
In writing scenes with the newly appointed Doctor Voodoo, Bendis found the dynamic between the character and the spirit of his deceased brother to be highly enjoyable. âI imagined if my brother, who I adore, lived inside me, I would punch myself in the face about 85 times a day. It's like there's someone just over your shoulder constantly bothering you and they won't go away. That's a very unique dynamic in the Marvel Universe and I thought it was a lot of fun to write.â
Additionally, Doctor Voodoo is simply a curiosity in the Marvel Universe. âDoctor Voodoo has also been by himself a lot. He's popped in and out of some adventures, but his relationships to the rest of the Marvel Universe are unique; it's like no one knows what to make of him,â Bendis explained. âYou've got all that, which is very interesting, but now there's the question of what does it mean now that he's Sorcerer Supreme? What did the Eye of Agamotto bring him? And how does that mix with the abilities he already has? So the amount of stories that can be told with the character is overwhelming. There's hundreds of brand new stories. This also opens up a lot of brand new stories for Doctor Strange. He's no longer Sorcerer Supreme, but he's not out of the picture. He's in more of a mentoring position now.â
|Pages from "New Avengers" #54
But what of Doctor Strange? Readers of âNew Avengersâ are getting a glimpse of some of the story potential for the former Sorcerer Supreme. In issue #53, he guided his former teammates to the future Doctor Voodoo's home in New Orleans and must have been very relieved to see the Eye of Agamotto had successfully chosen a new Sorcerer Supreme. âI think this arc has been redemptive for him in the sense that he righted a wrong,â Bendis said. âHe was successful in his quest to see that the right Sorcerer Supreme got what was coming to him; that the Hood and his master failed. So Doctor Strange did right this time and did good like he's done in the past -- not in the past when I wrote him, but in the past. So I think the dynamic between Doctor Voodoo and Doctor Strange will be interesting.â
Bendis also used âNew Avengersâ #53 to highlight a new dynamic between Spider-Man and the new Captain America, Bucky Barnes. The two had a confrontation with Madame Masque, the Hood's girlfriend, that prompted Spidey and Cap to share their different viewpoints concerning guns. âBucky carries a gun and those who are immersed in or aware of gun culture, like we all are, know that people with guns think differently about them then people who don't have them,â Bendis explained. âI'm not one who has a gun but I know people who do have them and they have a different thought process about them. So in the scene there's a big pile of guns and Bucky's first thought would be, 'Everybody take a gun. We're in a fight. But to Spider-Man, once you pick up a gun it seems like you're escalating a fight. Bucky sees all fights as being at that level. It's a dynamic that I love. It adds an extra little spice to the stew that is the Avengers.â
On sale July 1, âNew Avengersâ #54 brings to a close the Avengersâ fight with the Hood and Dormammu over who's to be the next Sorcerer Supreme. âDoctor Voodoo will be tested and you'll see a dramatic shift in the dynamic between the Hood and Dormammu,â Bendis teased. âThe Hood and what he means to the Marvel Universe will be altered dramatically.â
|Pages from "New Avengers" #54
Issue #54 will also mark Doctor Voodoo's exit from the pages of âNew Avengers,â at least for the time being. âTo my excitement, the character got his own series,â Bendis confirmed. âHe's going to come back into my book in a little bit, but not right now. I have some unfinished business with other characters that I want to attend to and I think Doctor Voodoo needs the full attention on him right now. If the character hadn't been picked up I would have kept him in the book just to keep the ball rolling. Once the ball was rolling though it became, 'Yay! I get to read a Doctor Voodoo book!'â
The story arc that kicks off in âNew Avengersâ #55 features the Hood and his criminal army. âThe Avengers are now knee deep into Dark Reign. They're at the epicenter of what's going with Norman Osborn and his criminal Cabal,â Bendis said. âThe Cabal working together strengthens the Hood's power play but there will be rifts in the Hood's gang itself and they're relationships with the heroes.â
In âNew Avengersâ #55, the Hood's gang lays a trap for the Avengers, and it's a successful one. âIn 'New Avengers #50, Carol Danvers stole a piece of Stark Tech that was part of a power drainer. That got blown up but the Hood's gang which includes Dr. Jonas Harrow and a few other respected scientists reverse engineered it and put together one for themselves,â Bendis explained. âThey use it as sort of an anti-power bomb and it saps the powers of anyone in the vicinity.â
Detonating an anti-power bomb in the middle of New York City has major repercussions for several Marvel characters. âThere are some Marvel characters who might die if they don't have their powers. So quite a lot of drama is coming,â Bendis said.
|"New Avengers" #55-56
âNew Avengersâ #55 is also a particularly big story because it marks the debut of the seriesâ new regular penciller, Stuart Immonen, who previously collaborated with Bendis on âUltimate Spider-Man.â âHe's already handed in a ton of pages and they're gorgeous. They're everything I wanted them to be,â Bendis said. âHis style will be similar to what you saw on 'Ultimate Spider-Man' but there's a different line weight involved. The difference is subtle but to me it's very spectacular and the character acting is the same, which I think is fantastic.â
Issue #55 also marks the return to the book of colorist Dave McCaig, who previously worked on âNew Avengersâ with Bendis and former series artist Lenil Yu. âHe also colored Stuart's work on 'Next Wave,'â Bendis said. âAnd because they were desperate to work together again, former colorist Justin Ponsor, who I adore immensely, will be doing other projects with me around the Marvel Universe. Stuart and Dave wanted to get back together and try some bold stuff. So bold stuff is coming.â
While big and bold stuff has been happening to the heroes of âNew Avengers,â several shocking and significant developments have occurred in other books like âMs. Marvelâ and the recent âNew Avengers: The Reunionâ miniseries, which starred Ronin and Mockingbird. Expect those stories to be picked up in âNew Avengers.â âI don't want to ruin anything that's happening in other books but you'll absolutely feel the effects of the Ronin-Mockingbird thing for sure,â Bendis confirmed. â[âReunionâ writer] Jim McCann and I are very much on the same page.â
|"New Avengers" #56
In the months ahead, readers can also expect to see some big developments in the adversarial dynamic between Ronin and Norman Osborn. âThere will be a lot more of the back-and-forth between Clint and Norman in the media. In the most recent issue of 'Dark Avengers,' Norman responded to Clint and Clint will respond in kind to Norman. There will be a back-and-forth that builds and builds till somebody gets hurt,â Bendis said. âThey're in a PR war, which I think is a little different than people thought it might be, because Clint is like, 'That's the Green Goblin! Why aren't you people listening to me!' Sometimes the person yelling about the conspiracy starts to look very crazy because they're frustrated that nobody will listen, like Richard Dreyfuss in 'Close Encounters of the Third Kind.'â
Brian Michael Bendis recently returned from the latest Marvel writersâ retreat, where longterm plans were concocted that will affect the entire Marvel Universe. âI can't say why yet, but something is going to happen and Joe Quesada will be talking about it in the next few months, maybe even at the San Diego Comic-Con,â Bendis said. âWe all had an assignment and we had to come to the retreat with our homework done. So I was kind of nervous and came with an agenda for the Avengers Universe. It was looked at favorably so I left the retreat feeling relieved and very happy.
âThings really start to get dicey and dangerous. There will be victims. There will be people who succeed tremendously and fail horribly during this as things get crazier and crazier.â

Super solo shopping and dining can be a cinch.
Just one mouth to feed in your house? I remember those days fondly sometimes. Like when I have a hungry husband and two testy teens barking, "What's for dinner?," the minute I walk in the door. Or when my groceries total $200, and it's only been a few days since my last shopping trip.
I hope you're celebrating your singleness by feeding yourself well (and by "well," I mean with health in mind most of the time). Many singles say it's a challenge to shop and cook for one. Recipes are usually designed with a family in mind. You buy bread in loaves, cereal in large boxes, and eggs by the dozen.
On the other hand, frozen entrees, yogurt, and some frozen desserts are available in single servings. Fruit and vegetables can also be bought by the piece instead of the pound.
The grocery store truly can be a treasure trove of food opportunities for the single person. Here are 10 tips for super solo cooking and dining:
1. Freeze extra bread. Whenever you buy whole-grain bread, sandwich rolls, or hot dog or hamburger buns, take out what you need for the next few days, and freeze the rest. When you need more, just take it out of the freezer an hour ahead of time. Breads thaw quickly.
2. Smoothies are, by design, single servings. Keep frozen fruit and yogurt or light vanilla ice cream on hand for a last-minute smoothie. They're great for breakfast, lunch, dinner, or a snack.
Embellish the Soup
3. Canned soup is an easy meal for one. Some canned soups are better than others in flavor and nutrition. Find the ones you like and keep some in the pantry. You can embellish them by adding frozen or fresh veggies, or topping with green onions, fat-free sour cream, freshly shredded Parmesan, and etc. Make soup a meal by grilling a slice of whole-grain cheese bread, or serving a roll or whole-grain crackers on the side.
4. Pasta is a perfect entrée for singles. If you use fresh packaged pasta or tortellini/ravioli, boil what you need and freeze the rest. If you use dry pasta (try the new whole-wheat blends!), boil as much as you need and store the rest in your pantry. Another option is to make two servings of pasta and have the leftovers for lunch the next day. Cold pasta salad makes a lovely lunch, or you can microwave leftover pasta for a hot lunch. For easy sauces, try bottled marinara, store-bought pesto, or just a drizzle of flavored olive oil and some shredded Parmesan.

This is an amazing shirt it's the perfect length, i love that it's short in the back and long in the front because you don't see that often so it's different and it looks great with high waisted leggings, love this top! Need to make it in more colors please!! ... read more
What attracted me to the sneakers at first were the laces which makes them look sleeker and it doesn't draw attention away from the shoe. Bought these for work and I must say they're pretty comfy for walking long periods of time. They are sock like so I don't know if socks are meant to be worn with them but when I did my feet were slightly hot but not super uncomfortable. I've gotten many compliments on this shoe and the laces in a particular. I would say to size up half a size because while they are meant to feel like a sock they should still fit like a sneaker meaning having a little tiny bit of wiggle room ... read more
The back of these shoes is way too high, it caused a blister on my heel within the first 10 minutes of a run. I had to take them off to get back home. Other than the back of the shoe being designed horribly, they fit like a glove. Although they did hurt my arch after running as well. Not impressed. ... read more
I am 5'4 and have an hour glass figure. The medium fits very well, although a little long. These are the comfiest pants I own. I travel, workout and lounge in these pants. They're perfect for almost anything and they're very stylish too. ... read more
I love Edge Lux...I have flat feet (no arches) and they fit perfectly. I am on my feet at work all day and at the end of the day, my feet are not painful like they used to be. I have already purchased two pairs and will be ordering more. ... read more
This was my first pair of trainers in many years. They are so light and comfortable. I am a half size so went up and they fit perfectly. No need to wear in-just put them on and go. I would absolutely recommend these for everyday life! ... read more
These shoes ran stiff and the edge of the front inside rubbed on my pinky toe so much that they were very painful to run in. I thought I would like this more structured shoe than the ultra boost. But I prefer the ultra boost and will return these to get another pair of ultra boost. ... read more
I received these Edge Luxe Shoes in the Adidas Avenue A subscription box with a few other items. I loved them immediately but put them on for a few hours and they were a bit tight around the base of my foot. I don't usually need a wide but maybe with this pair I do. So, not a big deal but I went to put them on again and realized that rubber on the tip of the shoe is peeling back. Again, I wore these for just a few hours at my desk job and they are falling apart? Not happy with the selection of this box. Especially since the FitU watch isn't accurate in step counting and I've reached out to support several times and received no instructions that have worked or made the tracker work properly. It's been calibrated, I did a hard factory reset and yet I still gain 1000 or more steps while sitting in my car in a two hour commute everyday. I really love Adidas but I am so disappointed with these last few items. ... read more
I brought these for my daughter i received them yesterday she love's them. The only thing is I brought white but is more beige so if you'll looking for a all white sneakers don't get these...other then that a great sneakers...ENJOY!!! ... read more
The back of the shoes is too high for me. It caused blisters on both achilles after 10 min of running outside. I had to fold them over to get back home. I had them altered and the back cut and lowered and now they fit perfectly. This is my first Adidas pair, I owe 5 other running shoes , different brand that never caused any issues, even brand new. ... read more
I really like them. They're comfortable and also great quality. Although, the ends are kind of itchy. They're great for relaxing and for playing sports or other activities in. I recommend buying a pair for yourself! ... read more
I'm new at running and tried several brands of running shoes. They all made my shins hurts after a run. But with Adidas bounce, my shins does not hurt so I was able to run longer distance and at a faster pace. I'm going to buy an exact second pair as a spare. Love love love it!! ... read more
I absolutely love this shoe. I've tried various brands, styles, etc. and ran for several years in what I thought were comfortable, supportive sneakers. Having purchased these based on a recommendation at the shop, I now know the difference. I can run far longer and far more comfortably in this shoe than any other I've tried. Believe me, that's an exhaustive list. ... read more
These shoes are great! I have flat feet and very little natural cushioning on the balls of my feet. These provide great support and cushion. I can run without pain. I've tried a number of other brands and I always come back to Adidas. ... read more
I do like these pants, they're pretty comfortable & easy to wear. I'm 5'4 & weigh 145 lb I bought a medium, but it's a bit loose, & a bit long. But other than that, I love them & definitely recommend others to buy this product ☺ ... read more
Maybe it's just my feet, but the backs are way too high and really irritate my heels. Also, though I do have naturally flat feet, after a few blocks in these my arches kill. Otherwise the sneakers are quite comfy on the balls of my feels and pretty cool looking. ... read more
THE MOST COMFORTABLE RUNNING/WALKING SHOE EVER! I have high arches and a very particular toe on my left foot. I have tried several different brands and styles but all were lacking in one way or another. On my way to buy the Ultra Boost I stumbled on to these and really liked the design of the Color Core Black / Black (BB4017) Pureboost X. This shoe is like no other shoe I have every encountered. It literally fits like a glove. I always size up in a running shoe and did the same with this one and for me it was a good decision. The shoe has a glove like feel with amazing arch support and it's like walking on air. Plus the design is really cool! what other shoe has a floating arch support? Good job Adidas. ... read more
I just ordered this pair and another pair of ultra boosts. i really wanted to keep the PureBoostx but the back of the shoe digs into my achilles tendon- its pretty irritating. The suspended arch support is different but nice and fits pretty snug. overall they seem like a great shoe but unfortunately I cant get over the the back of the shoe digging in to my achilles. so disappointed because i really wanted to keep these. ... read more
This was my 4th pair of the energy boost - I had the first version and two pairs of the boost 2. Very disappointed in this one. The arch is more narrow and the heel rubs on one my feet. I like the update of the upper, but the other updates are not good. ... read more
I really wanted to like this shoe. The design is cute. I have slim feet and they fit like a glove, which I loved. They were lightweight. However, they just rode up way too high on the back of my heel. It irritated my achilles tendon, and I could tell that wearing them for a long time would be uncomfortable. I would love to have the shoe if the shoe could be reworked to ride lower on the heel, like other running shoes. ... read more
I wanted these pants for soccer practice in the winter and also just to use out when I want to wear something comfortable. I got an XS and they were very loose in the thigh area which was perfect for me because I have very big thighs, but I'm 4'11 so the pants were way too long for me. To fix this problem I rolled the bottom of the pants in and folded them, but I'm also thinking on going to get them tailored since I wanted these pants because I thought they'd be really easy to just slip on but I have to take my time folding them and then zipping them, although I'm not sure if it's possible to get them tailored since they have zippers at the bottom. I think these pants would've fit me perfectly if I was ~4 inches taller. ... read more
I wish they could have more colours. I worn it to the gym and also going out. They have such a good comfort, but not as soft and flexible as pure boost. They fit perfectly on my foots and truly comfortable. ... read more
I bought this shoe to wear on vacation with lots of walking (not running). I really like the shoe for its general design and comfort. The only thing that is awkward is the lacing. It's hard to lace it in a way that avoids tying a front knot because it's hard to tuck the laces in the shoe. There's no lace hole to insert the laces back through the inside. Instead, you have to tuck the laces over the side of the shoe :/ The site picture shows the laces tucked over the edge as I describe. Visible and awkward. ... read more
I purchased two of these bras in August 2015 and LOVE them, but since then they redesigned the bra. Now the band isn't tight enough, and the breast area doesn't provide enough give, so I feel completely smashed without enough support under the bust. ... read more
I have accessory navicular and found this shoe supports the tender areas of my feet. Some shoes feel like extra strain is placed on my arches when I run. These shoes don't affect me negatively when I stand for long periods of time, walk, or run. They are super comfy! ... read more

German Bunds Retreat as Equities Gain, Risk Appetite Improves
German bunds fell as stocks rose and a U.S. labor market report eased concern that the recovery in the world's largest economy is faltering, damping demand for the perceived safety of government debt.
The two-year note yield rose to the highest in almost a month as the MSCI World Index of shares gained 0.9 percent. Greek government bonds advanced relative to German securities after Petros Christodoulou, director general of the Greek Debt Management Office, said the country's debt is a "good opportunity" to "pick up good yields." Initial jobless claims dropped by 27,000 to 451,000 in the week ended Sept. 4, Labor Department data showed today.
"The fall in bunds reflects a shift in risk sentiment," said Orlando Green, assistant director of capital-markets strategy at Credit Agricole Corporate & Investment Bank in London. "Equities are higher and sovereign spreads are tightening a little, and it all helps the general picture that event risks are diminishing."
The yield on the bund, Europe's benchmark security, rose 4 basis points to 2.34 percent as of 4:14 p.m. in London. The 2.25 percent security maturing in September 2020 fell 0.37, or 3.7 euros per 1,000-euro ($1,275) face amount, to 99.25. The two-year note yield climbed 7 basis points to 0.70 percent, the highest since Aug. 12.
Bunds gained earlier after FT Deutschland cited European Central Bank chief economist Juergen Stark as saying some German banks are undercapitalized, deepening concern about the financial health of the nation's banks. Speculation the recovery in Europe's largest economy may be slowing helped send Germany's bund yield to a record low last month.
Peripheral Bonds
So-called peripheral euro-region bonds gained relative to benchmark German securities, a day after a trader, speaking under condition of anonymity, said European central banks were buying Greek, Irish and Portuguese debt.
The ECB began buying bonds in May to help maintain the value of the assets as the International Monetary Fund and the European Union created a 750 billion-euro fund to shore up the single currency.
The extra yield investors demand to hold Irish 10-year debt compared with German 10-year bunds fell 19 basis points to 352 basis points. The spread reached 377 basis points yesterday, the most on record, according to Bloomberg generic data.
The Greek-German 10-year yield spread narrowed 14 basis points to 938 basis points. It rose as high as 957 basis points yesterday, 16 basis points short of the record reached on May 7.
'Funding Hurdles'
Ireland's National Treasury Management Agency sold 150 million euros of bills due Feb. 2011 at an average yield of 1.925 percent, compared with 1.978 percent in an Aug. 26 sale. It also sold 250 million euros of bills due April 2011, at an average yield of 2.19 percent, compared with 2.348 percent at the last sale.
"There has likely been some market relief as major funding hurdles of Portugal bonds yesterday and Irish T-bills this morning have been overcome without too many problems," Credit Agricole's Green said.
The Portuguese-German 10-year yield spread dropped 9 basis points to 342 basis points. It climbed to a record 372 basis points yesterday, the most since Bloomberg began compiling the data in 1997.
Portugal's finance minister said today that his nation can't afford to miss its deficit-reduction target. Market demand is "sufficient" for Portuguese debt, Fernando Teixeira dos Santos said at a conference in Macau, China.
The Portuguese government forecasts economic growth of 0.7 percent for this year. The government aims to narrow its deficit to 7.3 percent of GDP this year. It intends to meet the European Union limit for a gap of 3 percent in 2012, a year earlier than in a previous plan.
German bonds have returned 9.3 percent this year, compared with a 8.1 percent gain for U.S. Treasuries, indexes compiled by Bloomberg and the European Federation of Financial Analysts Societies show. Irish debt has lost 2.8 percent this year. Greek debt has lost more than 20 percent, while Portuguese securities have given up 4.9 percent.

Montana won't be at Candlestick for Monday Night Football
Montana on Candlestick: 'Issues with field, but we had home-field advantage'
Joe Montana will be watching from afar as the 49ers play their final regular season game at Candlestick. (USATSI)
Joe Montana left the door open last week for another of his patented comebacks when he said it was "unlikely" he would attend the final 49ers regular-season game at Candlestick Park.
On Monday, he closed the door.
Montana attended the New Orleans Bowl on Saturday to watch his son, Nick, start at quarterback in Tulane's 24-21 loss to Louisiana-Lafayette. Montana completed 5-of-8 passes for 63 yards and an interception before getting replaced.
Joe Montana announced Sunday in a series of messages on Twitter that he would not be in attendance Monday night when the 49ers play the Atlanta Falcons.
(1of3) It's been a long time since I played at #CandlesticPark but I will never forget it! So many great memories!!

The start of school is right around the corner and children will be returning to a setting of education and friendship.
This week's editorial was one of the most difficult we have written.
This week two Newton County young people lost their lives and another took a life, leaving a cloud of sadness over an otherwise sunny time.
The world is a hectic place. Emails follow us home on our phones, communications from others are just 240 characters and a Tweet away and ...
Page 1 of 1
As the Board of Commissioners prepares to convene Tuesday night, our elected representatives face a stark choice between raising the millage rate or making even more cuts to the budget, which will inevitably affect the hard working employees of Newton County.
Life is very fleeting. None of us knows when our existence will end on this earth. Last week, 44-year-old Mun Hyuk Cha, a kind, hard-working businessman and owner of Magnet Package Store, and 39-year-old Otonicar Jimquez Aikens, a father who had just stopped by to pick up some things, were probably discussing the weather or exchanging pleasantries when Jeffery Pitts, a disgruntled customer, stormed in with a gun and ended their lives.
Piedmont Newton Hospital - it does have a nice ring to it.
Throughout the last seven days there was plenty to celebrate, with a big week of appreciation coming on the heels of Mother's Day.
There is one thing that is as certain as anything can be - that our mothers, whether we are close to them or not, will always have a special place in our hearts.
For 76 years a local civic group has been involved, through its monies and volunteerism, in almost every worthwhile project that has helped Covington and Newton County become the great place that it is to raise a family.
For the last six years we have had the honor to recognize people in our community who through their actions and deeds have gone the extra mile to help their neighbors or their family.
There is no question that we are suffering from a general lack of quality leadership in Newton County at this time. Can that be turned around? We think so, but it is going to take our current leadership to be willing to communicate and cooperate with other community officials to start the process.
Easter is early this year and that is appropriate because the renewal of the earth's splendor has also arrived early.
Last week we ran on these pages an editorial that encouraged voters not to just vote for a candidate because they had a "D" or a "R" behind their name or to vote for a candidate because of the color of their skin.
If in your travels around the Newton Community and the Social Circle community and you have been ashamed to see the trash that litters our highways and byways, next Saturday is your chance to not only get involved but in the process do something positive for our communities.
The Newton County Board of Commissioners agreed Thursday to postpone a vote on a contentious landfill settlement after several hundred citizens turned out to voice their opposition to an overly hasty resolution.
The Association County Commissioners of Georgia is once again trying to get the state's General Assembly to make it harder for Georgia's residents to keep up with what is going on in the governments they support.
Courage is inner power to make you fight for your very existence and trying, when you know you may lose. Courage and determination makes a fighter.
The official start of the Lenten season began this past week and we have heard many of our friends and colleagues talking about what they were going to give up for the 40 days leading up to the celebration of Christ's resurrection.

Summertime, and the Driving Is Breezy
Published: June 7, 1998
SUMMER is around the corner, and the forecast, thanks to El Nino, is for a dry, sunny season -- ideal conditions for open-air motoring.
Some three dozen open-top car models are currently available in the United States, at prices of $20,000 to $350,000. And while low-end models continue to fade away for lack of interest -- the Honda Civic del Sol and Toyota Paseo are among this year's casualties -- fancy droptops are being added. Among these are the Volvo C70, which goes on sale next month, and the Mercedes-Benz CLK Cabriolet, due this fall.
Here is a rundown of the topless cars on sale this summer, excluding a number of sport utility vehicles -- like the Chevrolet Tracker, Isuzu Amigo, Jeep Wrangler, Kia Sportage and Suzuki Vitara -- that also have roofs that come down or come off. Prices are for base models; luxury and gas-guzzler taxes are not included.
ACURA NSX-T $88,782. Mid-engine, rear drive; 2 seats.
The NSX-T is lightning-quick, thanks to its very light aluminum body, its wind-slicing profile and its V6 engines that use Formula One racing technology. Indeed, since it is built to Honda's exacting standards, the NSX has been criticized for being too perfect -- a trouble-free appliance that thinks it's a Ferrari. Still, it is a pleasant and reliable exotic car that can be driven every day.
ASTON MARTIN DB7 Volante, $141,600. Front engine, rear drive; 4 seats.
The DB7's road manners cannot be faulted, and the supercharged V8 is capable of pushing the two-ton grand touring car from zero to 60 in a mere 6 seconds. But what really separates this elite convertible from the pack is aesthetics: the lithe swoop of the fenders, the mirror-like paint job, the aromatic leather, the faultless walnut trim. Too bad the DB7 costs twice as much as the rather similar Jaguar XK8.
AUDI CABRIOLET $35,100. Premium, $38,800. Front engine, front drive; 4 seats.
Its superclean styling still looks fresh, but the Cabriolet is the last of the previous-generation cars in Audi's lineup. Because its V6 doesn't meet stricter pollution standards, the '98 is not available in California, Connecticut, Massachusetts or New York.
BENTLEY AZURE $339,900. Front engine, rear drive; 4 seats.
All you really need to know about the Azure is its price. With only 93 sold last year, you'll surely have the only one on the block. It will get you a good table at Spago and will win you respect from Hollywood's toughest critics: valet parking attendants.
BMW 3-SERIES 323i, $34,700; 328i, $41,500; M3, $45,900. Front engine, rear drive 4 seats.
In all of its many body and drive-train configurations, the 3-Series was a benchmark when it was remade for 1992, and it remains one of the world's most pleasurable cars for everyday driving. Exceptionally rigid for a convertible, it handles brilliantly. New this year is the 6-cylinder 323i, which replaces the 4-cylinder 318i, and a convertible version of the legendary, high-performance M3.
BMW Z3 1.9, $29,995; 2.8, $36,470. M Roadster, $42,770. Front engine, rear drive; 2 seats.
The M Roadster promises a high-octane fix for the Z3's shortcomings. For while the voluptuous body grabs attention, the car's performance hasn't matched its appearance -- especially the wimpy, buzzy 4-cylinder 1.8. And the Z3, built in South Carolina, lacks BMW's usual refinement.
CHEVROLET CAVALIER Z24 $19,910. Front engine, front drive; 4 seats.
A small package with reasonable accommodations for at least two people and some luggage, the Cavalier has a family resemblance to its big brother, the Camaro. The interior is attractive and functional, although the hard, unsupportive seats make long trips unpleasant. The 4-cylinder engine is adequate, and the handling is good.
CHEVROLET CAMARO V6, $22,650; Z28, $27,975. Front engine, rear drive; 4 seats.
The venerable Camaro and its Pontiac counterpart, the Firebird, may be living on borrowed time. The 30-year-old muscle car formula -- raw power, reasonable price -- has lost its magic in an era of high insurance rates and sport-utility mania. The Camaro still performs, but it feels dated.
CHEVROLET CORVETTE $44,990. Front engine, rear drive; 2 seats.
The classic nameplate was saved from General Motors' budget cutters to be reborn as the best 'Vette ever. While some aficionados dislike styling touches seemingly borrowed from Acura, there is little grousing about the performance of the 345-horsepower V8 -- or about the newly accommodating interior and a trunk that can hold golf bags.
CHRYSLER SEBRING JX, $21,235; JXi, $26,500. Front engine, front drive; 4 seats.
America's best-selling convertible is built in Mexico and has little in common with the Mitsubishi-built coupe of the same name. Spacious, stylish and comfortable, the Sebring offers good value. It also has a rarity among convertibles: a back seat big enough for two adults. But order the JXi V6; the 4-cylinder JX is overwhelmed.
DODGE VIPER RT/10 $64,700. Front engine, rear drive; 2 seats.
Only in America! No other country could produce such a bold, aggressive, over-the-top car -- the whopping 8-liter V10 engine produces an awesome 450 horsepower. But the performance is American-brutal, not European-refined.
FERRARI F355 SPIDER $138,115. Front engine, rear drive; 2 seats.

Suspected mosque bomb plotter could be released in VermontMay 14,2013
The Associated Press
BURLINGTON — A 65-year-old man with a long history of threatening public officials and plotting to blow up the nation's largest mosque in Dearborn, Mich., could soon be living in a community facility in Vermont for people with serious mental illnesses.
A federal judge ruled Monday that Roger Stockham could be released safely into the community as long as he took his daily medications.
U.S. District Court Judge William Sessions III told Stockham that if he failed to take his medications he would be back in court immediately.
Stockham was arrested Jan. 24, 2011, outside the Islamic Center of America in Dearborn. Police found fireworks in his vehicle.
Stockham was on probation for a Vermont case when he was arrested in Michigan.MORE IN This Just InBURLINGTON As part of a federal effort to dismantle drug trafficking organizations in Vermont,...

Authorship is often used as an indication of academic 'worth', and thus allocation of authorship is often a contentious issue, particularly on collaborative projects. In SAPPHIRE, most of our papers arise from large research projects which often involve multiple researchers (academic staff and contracted research associates and assistants) in different roles – as principal investigators, co-investigators, data collectors, data analysts and project managers, not to mention all the other tasks involved in the actual drafting and re-drafting of reports and academic papers. Almost every paper we produce has, quite rightly, multiple authors. Keen to avoid the anxieties and potential for discord disagreements over authorship could generate, we recognised the need, as a research group, to have a more transparent and consistent approach to reaching these decisions. While a number of relevant authorship codes of conduct exist, including our own University's Research Code of Conduct, we felt that as a group we would benefit from developing more detailed guidance for operationalizing such codes in a transparent, robust and ethically defensible way. So, we have embarked on a process of developing a set of 'Authorship Principles' and accompanying 'Good Practice Tips'. 2016-02-05T16:04:39Z Evaluation of the Scottish Patient Safety Programme (SPSP) sepsis VTE collaborative: Short report http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32379 Title: Evaluation of the Scottish Patient Safety Programme (SPSP) sepsis VTE collaborative: Short report Authors: Tarrant, Carolyn; O'Donnell, Barbara; Martin, Graham; Bion, Julian Abstract: From summary: The collaborative is an increasingly popular approach to improvement in healthcare. The most widely used model is the Institute for Healthcare Improvement's (IHI) 'Breakthrough Series collaborative' (BTS) model, 1 in which a community of practitioners use continuous quality improvement methods to achieve improvement towards specific aims, supported by a core of expert faculty. There is evidence that collaboratives can be effective as an approach to improvement, but their effectiveness is likely to be partly dependent on their particular organisation and structure, and the programme context. Although some consensus has been reached about the factors that influence the success of a collaborative approach, a lack of empirical evidence persists about how the approach can be optimised. We report a summary of findings from a qualitative evaluation of the Scottish Patient Safety Programme (SPSP) sepsis VTE collaborative. 2015-06-17T13:39:25Z Optimising Surgical Safety Checklist implementation: Key lessons for practitioners and partners http://hdl.handle.net/2381/32366 Title: Optimising Surgical Safety Checklist implementation: Key lessons for practitioners and partners Authors: Aveling, Emma-Louise; Dixon-Woods, Mary; McCulloch, Peter; Kayonga, Yvette; Nega, Ansha 2015-06-10T09:52:05Z Perspectives on Ageing and Attitudes towards Financial Planning for Care in Old Age in the South Asian Communities in the East Midlands http://hdl.handle.net/2381/10151 Title: Perspectives on Ageing and Attitudes towards Financial Planning for Care in Old Age in the South Asian Communities in the East Midlands Authors: Katbamna, Savita; Bakht, Shiria; Shah, Jayna; Barker, Geraldine Abstract: This research is an exploratory study of the meaning and expectations of old age, and the attitudes and behaviour towards planning for care in old age, of a middle-aged cohort of South Asians of people, namely the Gujaratis and Bangladeshis in the East Midlands. The report is divided into seven chapters. Chapter one provides a brief overview of the research project and sets out the need for research in the field. This chapter includes a brief overview of selected literature on demographic, social and economic position of South Asian in Britain to provide a contextual background for the empirical chapters. Chapter two, covers our methodological approach, describing the rationale for using for using a qualitative and semi-quantitative approach, and outlines how focus groups and semi- structured in-depth interviews were used for gathering material. The chapter also includes how we selected and recruited the sample, background details about the sample size and characteristics and how the material was translated, transcribed, interpreted and analysed. Chapter three describes participants' understanding of the meaning of old age, their aspirations and expectations for growing old and their concerns about health, social welfare and financial independence and dependency in old age. This chapter also discusses how age, gender and ethnicity impact on participants' attitudes and expectations of ageing. Chapter four focuses on participants' expectations of personal and practical support from 'close' family members and the state. Their expectations of support are examined in the context of intergenerational responsibilities and obligations, potential difficulties and barriers which participants believe people in their age group are likely to encounter in negotiating support from their family. The last section of the chapter examines participants' attitudes to, and justifications for, expecting personal and practical support from the state, and the impediments they feel they are likely to face in negotiating support. Chapter five examines participants' attitudes and plans for financing retirement in terms of pensions and savings, and in terms of their expectations of financial support from state and family. We also examine the issues they believe will prevent them from living a financially secure and comfortable old age. Chapter six discusses participants' attitudes to saving, inheritance and the use of personal financial resources to pay for care in old age. The last section of this chapter examines participants' attitudes to funding long-term care through general taxation or long-term care insurance. The final chapter of the report, Chapter seven, concludes with a summary of issues highlighted by participants. We also examine the implications of these issues, and the impact they may have on future generations of older people, their families and the state. 2012-03-06T09:57:41Z Barriers to accessing mental health services for postnatal depression in the UK: a literature review http://hdl.handle.net/2381/10007 Title: Barriers to accessing mental health services for postnatal depression in the UK: a literature review Authors: Bonas, Sheila; Ockleford, Elizabeth Editors: Brugha, Traolach S.; Smith, Jane Abstract: Postnatal depression (PND) is believed to affect 10-15% of mothers in the early months after birth (Cooper et al., 1988; O'Hara & Swain, 1996, Leverton & Elliott, 2000). It has a negative effect on the quality of life for these women, is also associated with high levels of depression in fathers (Ballard, 1996) and impacts on the cognitive and social development of children (Cooper & Murray, 1995; Murray & Cooper, 1997; Martins & Gaffan, 2000). Many of those affected by PND may not be receiving appropriate care: the NHS Direct webpage reports: "A study carried out into postnatal depression showed that only 1 in 4 women sought any help" (NHS Direct Online Health Encyclopaedia). This review aims to provide a critical interpretive synthesis (CIS) of the evidence concerning barriers to access to mental health services for PND in the UK. The research data on this topic are varied and include evaluations of interventions, quantitative surveys that tap the views of patients and health professionals, and qualitative interviews accessing the experiences of women with PND and of health professionals. Methods for reviewing and synthesising such diverse forms of evidence have been the topic for much recent debate. CIS has been demonstrated to provide a useful framework that draws upon qualitative methodology to analyse diverse evidence, generate categories and consider the links between them in order to develop new explanatory theory (Dixon-Woods et al. 2006). CIS does not exclude papers on the basis of any hierarchy of evidence or quality checklist. Dixon-Woods et al., (2006) argue that this is not desirable for several reasons: there is no 'hierarchy of evidence' for qualitative data and no consensus on how to appraise papers for inclusion in reviews; quality check lists can exclude papers that may make a substantial theoretical contribution on the basis of 'surface mistakes' (Dixon-Woods et al., in press; Sandelowski, 1997). Instead, CIS is inclusive in order to ensure that any papers that may make valuable contributions are not excluded and involves criticism, at all stages of analysis and synthesis, throughout the process. This requires a recursive and reflexive approach. This review focuses on UK evidence because it aims to inform policy making and practice within a NHS, UK context. Whilst research in other countries may inform theories concerning what influences women's access to mental health services for PND, there are likely to be differences arising from the variations in service delivery and cultural and social contexts between countries. It is therefore considered preferable to review each country independently before attempting to achieve a broader synthesis. 2012-01-16T10:34:28Z Governing health services research: is it working? http://hdl.handle.net/2381/9367 Title: Governing health services research: is it working? Authors: Dixon-Woods, Mary; Yeung, Karen Abstract: Research governance is an issue that constantly troubles our members who feel that a system that has been set up to deal with clinical research unfairly places an excessive level of regulatory burden on much lower risk HSR, which is largely non-clinical and non-invasive. As part of HSRN's programme of work looking at this issue, we commissioned Mary Dixon Woods and Karen Yeung to write this viewpoint to help us understand and provide some questioning of how the current system operates. The views expressed are those of the authors and not necessarily those of the HSRN. Description: This paper was published as Health Services Research Network Report,BOK60025.

Our objective is to provide insight into women's views on age criteria for the NHS Cervical Screening Programme in England. We present data collected as part of a qualitative interview study conducted in the East Midlands of England. Thirty-five women, representing a range of ages and ethnic groups, were interviewed. Analysis was based on the constant comparative method. Women's views about the age criteria that should appropriately be applied to cervical cancer screening diverged considerably from the technical principles and criteria upon which policy decisions are based. Women called for screening to be extended at both the upper and the lower ends of the age range. However, there was little explicit acknowledgement in women's accounts of the risks posed by screening or of the relative effectiveness and cost-effectiveness of screening in women of different ages. Policy decisions about screening programmes often face problems of legitimacy and acceptability. There is an increasingly pressing need to ensure that the criteria used to make decisions about who will be offered screening are made explicit and communicated effectively, so that people's views can be well-informed. 2010-11-17T16:50:22Z Impact of the population at risk of diabetes on projections of diabetes burden in the United States: an epidemic on the way http://hdl.handle.net/2381/2289 Title: Impact of the population at risk of diabetes on projections of diabetes burden in the United States: an epidemic on the way Authors: Mainous, Arch G.; Baker, Richard; Koopman, R.J.; Saxena, S.; Diaz, V.A.; Everett, C.J.; Majeed, A. 2009-12-08T16:08:39Z

Lake levels change constantly--From High-year Full Starts...
To Low- year Low finishes
Each Spring starts with winter ice...
With room on the beach for ice to become water
As snow and ice melt...
The shoreline marches up the beach
And the fill begins!
With more Spring temperatures comes more winter snowmelt
As the lake rises, banks and beaches disappear
Until the lake is full--YAY!
Now, shoreline meets treeline
And sometimes goes even further
This sign, just below the beach access paved road, can be underwater(when full) or 1/2 mile from water at the lake's lowest
But, after peak full, the lake starts to recede, gradually
And the signpost and more beach appear
Until you have a fair hike to the shoreline
As the lake continues to shrink in the Fall...
It looks more like a wide river approaching the Dam
In the lowest years, water can stop flowing through the drain at the Dam
Fall 2007--only 1994 got even lower!
The rarely seen bottomless boat at the bottom of the lake
So, from nearly no beach...
To nearly 1/2 mile of sand and mud...
With woes and tows when it hits its lows...
This place goes from one extreme...
To another
But ALWAYS LOOKS GREAT!

Publisher's Description
The Call continues the message introduced in The Final Quest that challeged Christians around the world to begin living the truth which they have been entrusted with. The Call is a call to life, a call to love in the unprecedented glory of the Son of God, a call to sacrifice, and to do all things for the sake of the gospel. The darkness will soon be over, and the day of our Lord will dawn. Now is the time for us to take a stand against the great darkness of our time for the sake of the Light who is greater and is surely coming, for it is written:
"And it shall be in the last days," God says, "that I will pour forth of My Spirit upon all mankind; and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams; even upon My bondslaves, both men and women, I will in those days pour forth of My Spirit and they shall prophesy" (Acts 2:17-18)
The "last days" are here. These are the days of dreams, visions, and prophecy for the young and old, the sons and the daughters, the days that the great saints of old longed to see and in which we are priviledged to live. This book is a call to seize an unprecedented opportunity and to live in a manner worthy of . . . The Call

COLUMBIA, Mo. – Four victories by Texas A&M highlighted their third day of action at the SEC Track and Field Championships, hosted by the University of Missouri. Qualifying races produced a crew of 13 Aggies into seven more finals on Sunday's concluding day.
Texas A&M earned a pair of SEC titles in throwing events as Aggie senior Sam Humphreys claimed his fourth consecutive conference title in the javelin with a facility record mark of 257-1 (78.36) and A&M frosh Shelbi Vaughan captured her first title in the discus with a 185-10 (56.65).
Another Aggie frosh LaQue Moen-Davis won the long jump title with a wind-aided mark of 21-6 (6.55w) while senior Henry Lelei controlled the tempo in the 3,000-meter steeplechase for an 8:38.11 victory.
The four wins by the Aggies made a major contribution to the A&M team scores. Through seven of 21 finals Arkansas leads the men's team scoring with 57 points, Florida is second with 47 and the Aggies are third with 37. Rounding out the top five are Georgia (31) and Missouri (22).
Arkansas also leads the women's team score with 50 points through eight of 21 women's. Georgia is currently second with 49 points followed by LSU (31), Florida (26) and Texas A&M (25).
The SEC Championships conclude on Sunday with a start time of 1 p.m. and will conclude at 6:35 p.m. Coverage of the final day will air on ESPN3.com from 2:50 to 6:45 p.m. CT. The meet action outside of the ESPN3 window on Sunday will air live at MUTigers.com.
Qualifiers from Saturday prelims for the Aggies included Juan Blanco (1500), Wayne Davis II (110 hurdles), Kenneth Minkah (110 hurdles), Donique' Flemings (100 hurdles), Deon Lendore (400), Ricky Babineaux (400), Carlyle Roudette (400), Ibukun Mayungbe (400), Kamaria Brown (400), Ameer Webb (100), Ashton Purvis (100), Jennifer Madu (100) and India Daniels (100).
Humphreys would have won the javelin competition with any of his six throws as he produced the third best winning distance in the SEC since 1984. His series into a heavy headwind included marks of 247-5 (75.42), 248-4 (75.71), 257-1 (78.36), 251-8 (76.72), 255-10 (77.99), 245-6 (74.82). Humphreys winning mark is the sixth best performance on the Aggie all-time list.
"Coming back to the same field that I won my first conference title, I was determined to win my last conference title here as well," said Humphreys, who won three Big 12 titles with his first also at Columbia, Missouri in 2010. "I'm so happy that I was able to accomplish that goal. I put my heart and soul into all four years and it feels so good. That was the biggest thing for me right now, winning four conference titles."
Humphreys bettered the facility record of 249-3 (75.98) set by Scott Russell of Kansas in 2002 and was aiming for the SEC meet record of 261-4 (79.65) set by Georgia's Chris Hill in 2009. The next best winning SEC mark over the past 28 years was a 257-10 by Leigh Smith of Tennessee in 2004.
"It's special to come back here and break the facility record," stated Humphreys. "I wanted the SEC meet record before I left, but it's too bad the wind was so strong today. We had a steady 20 mile per hour head wind. I would have loved for it to have been 5 to 10 mph that would be perfect for me."
Sophomore teammate Devin Bogert finished fifth in the event as A&M totaled 14 points. Bogert had a best of 219-4 (66.85) from the fifth round. Finishing 22 feet behind Humphreys as runner-up was Raymond Dykstra of Kentucky with a 235-1 (71.65) while Arkansas' Jeff Woods placed third with a 226-5 (69.01).
Vaughan started off her discus adventure with a pair of out of sector fouls. Needing a mark in the third round to move on to the final three rounds, Vaughan promptly produced the winning mark of 185-10 (56.65).
"It's really exciting to win the SEC," said Vaughan, who is also a member of the Aggie volleyball team. "Back when I first started throwing I had no idea I would be in this situation. But now that I'm here it's really exciting and a great opportunity. That has been one of my goals, and it has been since I came to A&M. I want to be a four-year conference champion.
"Most of my major meets have been like that with early fouls, even the US Junior Championships last summer. I'm kind of used to it by now, so I have the composure to get my last throw in before finals."
Moving along to the finals of the discus, Vaughan had a 169-1 (51.54) effort in the fourth stanza and then had another pair of out of sector fouls. Runner-up to Vaughan was a mark of 177-4 (54.05) from Missouri sophomore Kearsten Peoples while third place went Kentucky freshman Becky Famurewa (170-5 / 51.95).
The winning mark for Vaughan is the number four performance on the Aggie all-time list and left her just shy of the facility record 190-1 set last year. Vaughan's mark was also the fourth best winning mark since LSU's Danyel Mitchell set the conference meet record of 194-4 in 1994.
Moen-Davis only had a pair of marks measured in the long jump amid four fouls. She took over the lead with a 21-2.75 (6.47) in the second round and then closed out the event with a winning leap of 21-6 (6.55). Both efforts were wind-aided by a 3.3 and 5.3 meter per second wind, respectively.
"Coach VanHootegem had a goal for me to try to get 22 feet today, so that's what I tried to do today," noted Moen-Davis, who won the SEC Indoor triple jump and placed 13th in the long jump. "It motivated me to see Sam get a win in the javelin earlier in the day and then Shelbi win the discus. I wanted to do my best so I could do my part towards us winning a SEC championship and contribute to the team."
Runner-up to Moen-Davis was a 20-11.75 (6.39) from Mississippi State's Erica Bougard while LSU's Keri Emanuel placed third with a 20-7 (6.27) effort.
The 21-6 for Moen-Davis is the second best effort ever at Texas A&M, trailing only a windy 22-2.25 (6.76) by Adrien Sawyer in 1997. The Aggie school record is a wind-legal 21-5.25 (6.53) that Sawyer produced to win the 1997 Big 12 title.
"My runs down the runway have been getting better and better," said Moen-Davis. "Coach VanHootegem didn't want to change my takeoff mark on the runway. Instead he wanted me to be more consistent in doing what I'm supposed to be doing on each jump. It worked and produced a victory today."
The final victory on the day belonged to Lelei as he covered the 3,000-meter steeplechase in comfortable looking 8:38.11 that won the race by a couple of seconds over Stanley Kebenei of Arkansas (8:40.23) with Aggie teammate Isaac Spencer in third at 8:53.73.
Lelei, who clocked the fastest SEC winning time since 2007, ran the second fastest time in A&M history as he trailed only his school record of 8:32.94 set in April.
"It's great to win, especially in the SEC," said Lelei, who now has four conference titles this academic year through cross country, indoor and outdoor track. "This is my last SEC meet, so I was thinking I have to win this. The temperature was okay, but coach warned us this morning it was going to be very windy.
"That wasn't on my mind though I knew I had to win despite the wind. There wasn't a lot of pressure from the Arkansas runner, and I knew he would be the only challenger for me."
Spencer added: "Before the race coach McRaven told me Henry was going to take it out early and I needed to be smart. He figured Kebenei and Parrish of Florida would go with Henry, but they may not last. The wind was a factor, but I was able to challenge Parrish for third. When I passed Parrish, he didn't have anything left to answer me with."

Message from the President of Governance Institute of Australia
The future depends on what we do in the present. (attributed to Mahatma Gandhi)
Nothing is more important than what we do today. The successful future of our organisations depends on our actions in the present.
'Contemporary Governance — Shaping the Future' will explore the latest ideas and approaches that will help you make good governance the foundation of your future success.
Addressing concepts such as whole-of-organisation governance, cyber risk, digital disruption and the integration of risk management in daily operations, the conference program has something to offer every director, company secretary, governance professional and risk manager.
This premier event serves as the perfect forum to meet, learn from, and network with leading professionals from Australia and across the globe.
Our program has been developed to support you to effectively meet the new challenges that confront us every day.
On behalf of Governance Institute of Australia, I invite you to participate in the most significant event on the governance and risk calendar and encourage you to make a valuable investment in your own professional development.
I look forward to seeing you in Melbourne.
Trisha Mok FGIA
President, Governance Institute of Australia
