Sapphire HD 5770 Vapor-X Overclock Edition Review
By now everyone should know about the capabilities of the ATI 5 series video cards. If not you have probably been living under a rock. ATI took a swing for the fences and hit a home run in terms of the performance delivered by the Sapphire HD 5870 when compared to the best single GPU card that Nvidia had to offer at the time, the GTX 285. The follow up, the Sapphire HD 5850, just about cleaned house as well. Building on that performance lead they solidified the high end stranglehold with the Sapphire HD 5970 that really just crushed the GTX 295 and HD 4870x2. With the high end covered the mid range was not forgotten about with the introduction of the 5700 series that included the Sapphire HD 5770 and 5750. The 5 series of cards are the first true Direct X 11 video cards to market but at launch really did not have any games ready to show off this technology. This has now changed with more than a few games ready with many more in the wings from a slew of developers. Sapphire as ATIs largest partner always brings something interesting to the table after the release of the reference or ATI cards. Sapphire has a few lines that are geared more towards the enthusiast with the Atomic, Toxic and Vapor-X series. Each offers better component usage and some innovative cooling solutions. For instance there was the use of a self contained liquid cooling system on the Sapphire HD 4870x2 Atomic and the first use of the Vapor-X technology from Microloops on the Sapphire HD 3870 Atomic back in January 2008.
From that point forward Sapphire has made use of the technology not only on the Vapor-X line but in the Toxic and Atomic lineups to bring out the best cooling and noise performance from their video cards. The cooling is only part of the Vapor-X package. The Sapphire HD 5770 Vapor-X comes equipped with not only the additional cooling but is built using solid high polymer capacitors and "Black Diamond" chokes that use a built in heat spreader to drop the operating temperatures by 10% while increasing the efficiency by 25%. So what does this really get you net? Because of the cooling used Sapphire ups the clock speed by 10Mhz on the Juniper 40nm core going from 850MHz to 860MHz but no increase on the GDDR5 memory clocks. At this point you have a card with better cooling, better component selection and higher clock speeds. Lets see if that translates in to better performance and overclocking. If the past history is any indication this card should do well.
Closer Look:
The packaging of the Vapor-X series has evolved over the past year. The front panel shows this as a card that is part of the Vapor-X lineup. The two icons on either side point out the fact that this card is an "Overclocked" edition card that is equipped with Sapphire's Award winning Vapor-X technology. The Direct X 11 game Dirt 2 and Sim HD plug in software are part of the bundle. Along the bottom of the front panel you have a list of the attributes of the Sapphire HD 5770 Vapor-X that include Eyefinity support, On board HDMI and DisplayPort connectivity, Crossfire X and ATI Stream technology ready. The rear panel expands on the some of the attributes listed on the front panel and goes into some detail on others such as the Black Diamond chokes, GDDR5 Memory and the HDMI audio capabilities. Along the bottom is Sapphire's commitment to going green with their packaging. Just to the left you get a glimpse of the awards the Vapor-X series has won.
Opening up the packaging you have an inner box that contains the bundle and Sapphire HD 5770 Vapor-X. The card comes in a bubble wrap anti-static bag and is set into a form fitting cardboard enclosure to keep the card secure in transit. On the left hand side of the lid you can see the small recyclable symbol. The bundle of accessories are stored both on top of and in a separate compartment from the card.
The bundle is as usually with a Sapphire card better than the norm containing everything you need to get the HD 5770 Vapor-X installed as well as the bonus of the Direct X 11 title Dirt 2 and Sim HD software. You get the manual, driver disk, the software, a molex to PCIe power adapter, HDMI to VGA adapter and a single Crossfire bridge connector.
Besides the basics, the one thing the cards have in common is the method of cooling the on board components. While the implementation may be slightly different, the effect is the same. Both start out with a flat vapor chamber that the memory and GPU core directly contact. From there, the solutions differ drastically. I will touch on that later, after seeing how the process works. The Vapor plate is used to wick away heat, much the same way a heatpipe does. According to Sapphire's white paper on the Vapor plate technology, the liquid inside the Vapor plate is something we use each and every day - water, plain and simple. But, water boils at 212 degrees F, right? Not when the pressure is reduced by pulling a vacuum. You can see the port where the vacuum was pulled, and the opening has been soldered shut to prevent vacuum loss. Rather than describe how the process works, I will let the blown-up images show just how simple the process really is. The last picture is a magnified image of the wicking material that is used in the assembly. From past experience, the solution is quite effective at limiting the temperature increases on the HD 3XXX and 4XXX series of video cards from Sapphire. Let's see how the technology works on the 5800 and 5700 series of cards. My guess is that it is up to the task.
The Vapor-X technology has matured to the point it is now even used on the HD 5970 straight from the factory to manage the thermal load on that beast. Lets dig a little deeper into the Sapphire HD 5770 Vapor-X.

The Lipscomb Bisons do not play any off-campus opponents during fall drills but on Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays they play intrasquad games. With 10 new arms added to the pitching staff this season coach Jeff Forehand and his staff want them to get all of the opportunities possible to work.
"All the falls are different in terms of things you want to look at," Forehand said. "With 10 new pitchers we want to see how they are going to fit in. We want to see what role might fit best for each one of them.
"We also want to see how much our returning players have improved. A lot of them played in summer leagues. We want to see what they learned in the summer months."
Those 10 new arms include three high school pitchers, four transfers and three players who were on the team last season but did not pitch.
Josh Smith, the No. 1 pitcher in the rotation last season, finished his eligibility and is now a member of the Cincinnati Reds organization. Davey Hackett and Mike Grace return as starters.
"Hackett and Grace have the opportunities to be starters again this season, but we want to see where their roles might fit best with this year's team," Forehand said. "Hackett had some really good outings. We think he can only grow from that. We would like to think he can be a starter.
"Grace had the best summer of any of our pitchers. He could be our fourth starter, but we would like to get him back in a middle relief role."
The freshman pitchers are Chris Orphanos, Hunter Brothers and Will Blalock.
A trio of junior college pitchers, Connor Sinclair, Tyler Newhart and Gil Rehwinkel, will also get long looks as possible weekend starters.
"The same things go for the new pitchers," Forehand said. "We want to give them every opportunity to show us how they are going to fit in. Right now we are just looking to see who can compete the best."
Developing consistency on the mound was a struggle last season. Forehand is expecting pitching to be vastly improved over the 2010 season.
"I think we have addressed the pitching issue," Forehand said. "We had those guys who had to learn in the fire last season. "Now we can step those guys down and they can pitch in roles that better suit them. We want to see where Richie Goodenow fits into the weekend rotation."
The Bisons also have to find replacements at centerfield, third base, second base and first base.
Ryan Wilkins filled the first base role last season. Tennyson Dodd and Goodenow, a transfer from Vanderbilt who also pitches, are possible replacements along with Blalock.
. "Richie is a good baseball player," Forehand said. "He does a good job as a hitter. When he first went to Vanderbilt he was doing more position play than pitching."
Andrew Nickerson is now working with the team as a student assistant leaving a spot at second. Kyle Henry and freshman Aaron Spragg are competing for playing time there.
Zach Messer or T.J Hoelzer will play either shortstop or third.
"We hate that we lost Cory Hale at third," Forehand said. "That is the only position we weren't expecting to lose because of graduations."
In center field the Bisons lost the speed of Tyler Wilson. Forehand expects Ricky Coleman to fill that role.
"Ricky doesn't have the experience that Tyler had," Forehand said. "He is going to have to go in there and be ready to do it. The sky is the limit for him. Shawn Mehring could also get some playing time there."
The games are played at approximately 4 or 4:30. Oct. 12, 13 and 14 the fall drills close with the Purple and Gold world series.

Atmospheric Sciences & Global Change
Research Highlights
October 2006
The Houston Triangle: Where Air Quality, Not a Ship, Disappears
Field campaign investigates hydrocarbons and aerosol concentrations in industrialized environment
Hydrocarbons are a key ingredient in the production of ozone, a colorless, odorless gas that corrodes not only the rubber on windshield wipers, but also affects the health of human lungs. Aerosols are tiny particles suspended in the atmosphere. Though they can adversely affect human health, they are also believed to offset the warming known to be associated with greenhouse gases, such as carbon dioxide.
For nearly four weeks in September, a team of research scientists from the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory (PNNL) joined colleagues from around the world in a large air quality study in southeast Texas. The objective of the campaign was to examine the distribution of hydrocarbons and aerosols within the greater Houston area. New air quality guidelines issued by the World Health Organization (WHO) have called for lowering the daily allowed limits of ozone. The WHO estimates that reducing pollution from particles that are too small to be filtered in the nose and throat and that settle in the lungs could save as many as 300,000 lives every year.
"Past studies have linked specific hydrocarbons with the production of ozone, and more recently, we think that other hydrocarbons play an important role in the production of aerosols. Complicating this picture is the possibility that particulates can affect the concentration of gas-phase pollutants, including ozone," explained Carl Berkowitz, PNNL principal investigator for the Texas campaign. "These interactions are only one part of a complicated puzzle that policy makers must understand if emission control scenarios are to be effective in improving air quality, not only in Texas, but many parts of the world," he added.
Three sites bounding the greater Houston area include Bayland Park, Aldine, and Deer Park, located near the Houston Ship Channel. Air monitoring stations at these sites record some of the highest ozone concentrations in Houston.
The PNNL scientists made side-by-side measurements at three locations associated with elevated ozone levels in Houston. One site, in the southeast part of Houston, was located very close to the Houston Ship Channel, home to the largest complex of petrochemical and oil refineries in the world, and the starting point for many emissions in Houston. Another field laboratory site was set up in southwest Houston, where nitrogen emissions from automobiles dominate the air quality. The mixing of nitrogen emissions with hydrocarbons is thought to generate high ozone levels. The third site, to the north of Houston, was selected based on its proximity to natural sources of hydrocarbons, thus offering a contrast to the manmade hydrocarbons abundant in the southeast part of Houston.
To obtain the measurements, they used advanced mass spectrometers—an Aerosol Mass Spectrometer and a Proton Transfer Reaction–Mass Spectrometer, to measure aerosols and hydrocarbons, respectively—plus commercially available instruments to measure sulfur dioxide, ozone, carbon monoxide, and nitrogen oxides. The collocation of the two different mass spectrometers at each site resulted in a one-of-a-kind data set that can be used to answer many questions about hydrocarbon/aerosol interactions.
PNNL researchers Liz Alexander (left) and Xiao-Ying Yu (right) discuss sampling strategies for two mass spectrometers ready for deployment as part of the Texas Air Quality Study in September 2006. PNNL scientists deployed and maintained instrumentation at three sites over the greater Houston area throughout the campaign.
The Texas Air Quality Study of 2006 is a follow up to another large campaign conducted in 2000. That campaign was driven by a need to understand how ozone levels in Houston far exceeded those found anywhere else in the United States, and how they amassed in such a short time. Rather than building up over the better part of a day, the air in Houston could produce ozone concentrations in excess of 200 ppb in less than hour. Ongoing research by PNNL scientists and other investigators has shed light on how this process occurs, and data from the 2006 study will help answer the question of how effective emissions controls have been in reducing the occurrence of high ozone episodes.
In addition to Berkowitz, PNNL scientists involved in this field campaign included Xiao-Ying Yu and Vic Morris from the Atmospheric Sciences and Global Change Division, and Liz Alexander, John Ortega and Matt Newburn from the Environmental Molecular Science Laboratory (EMSL), a U.S. Department of Energy national user facility located at the Pacific Northwest National Laboratory.
This research was supported by the Texas Environmental Research Consortium (TERC) through the Houston Advanced Research Center, the Atmospheric Sciences Program within the U.S. Department of Energy's Office of Science, and DOE's Environmental Molecular Sciences Laboratory. In-kind support was provided by the Texas Commission on Environmental Quality.

Elkers fall to Smethport
Ridgway boys soccer lost 3-2 to Smethport Tuesday afternoon at Francis S. Grandinetti Elementary School. The Elkers couldn't have started any better as Tad Pierce exploited a hole in the left side of the Smethport defense and scored just 20 seconds into the game to put Ridgway in the lead. In the 11th minute, Pierce looped a pass from the right wing to the head of Josh Braley and he buried it perfectly into the left corner of the net as Ridgway took a 2-0 lead early in the game. Smethport had a shot go off the post and then another long shot go wide in the 19th minute. The Hubbers' Trevor Rowand scored with 5:09 left in the first half to cut the Ridgway lead to 2-1, that would be the score entering halftime. In the second half, the Hubbers scored 4:05 into the second half as Justin Lund found himself open in the middle of the penalty area and was able to capitalize. Smethport would go on to score what would be the game-winning goal with 24:12 left in the second half as Tyler Koch finished a breakaway opportunity. Ridgway coach John Ogden said the Elkers had to mark Smethport forward Dario Caminite but were unable to keep him from setting up Hubber goals. "Dario, we needed to mark him because he sets up everything they do," Ogden said. "He just got through and he helped with the other two goals."Ridgway had some chances late but could not finish as the Elkers pushed late in the match to tie but were unable to do so. "On the plus side, last year we lost to those guys by six or seven both times. This year, it was both 3-2," Ogden said. "Everybody in this league seems to be even because it's always a 1-goal game in every game we play. There's improvement, next year's going to be really good. They had a good effort, it went down to the last second."Ridgway is scheduled to host Elk County Catholic at 4 p.m. Thursday.

Who Is Adah Menken
Adah Isaacs Menken (June 15,1835 – August 10,1868) was the original global Superstar, the first media celebrity, a daredevil American performer who risked her life on stage. Her definitive biography A Dangerous Woman: The Life, Loves and Scandals of Adah Isaacs Menken 1835 – 1868 America's Original Superstar by Michael Foster and Barbara Foster is now available in hardcover and kindle. A poet and rebel, she was known to Victorians as "The Naked Lady."
Read about Adah Menken's famous friends in the "Life/Times" section and her five husbands in the "Husbands/Lovers" section. Born into a Jewish, Creole (Colored) family in antebellum New Orleans, Adah Menken was the first actress to apparently bare all–the mother of theatrical and film nudity. Off stage, she originated the front-page scandal and became the most famous, highly paid actress in the world–the darling of New York, San Francisco, London, and Paris. At thirty-three, the height of her fame, this femme fatale mysteriously died. Longfellow, at her bedside, composed a farewell love song.
The beautiful stripper was a born entertainer. In her teens Adah became a true daughter of Texas, learning to shoot and perform trick-riding in a circus. In her twenties in the Midwest, she became a protege of Rabbi Wise, founder of Reform Judaism. Adah wrote heartfelt verse and essays in defense of the Jewish people. Later, in New York's Bohemian scene, she became the disciple of poet Walt Whitman.
During the Civil War Adah was arrested as a Confederate agent. Adah was America's first pin-up, her photos adored by soldiers North and South. She married and left five husbands, among them the world heavyweight boxing champ, a leading literary figure, and a Rhett Butler-style gambler. Adah was friend or lover to the outstanding men of any time: Mark Twain, Charles Dickens, Dante Rossetti, Alexandre Dumas, Algernon Swinburne, and women who included George Sand. Menken's ghost fascinated 19th and 20th century seances.
Her life intrigued literary, theater, and film greats such as Arthur Conan Doyle, Jerome Kern, Billy Rose, Stella Adler, George Cukor, and David O. Selznick. One admirer, Joaquin Miller, the original cowboy poet, declared, "Nothing is known about her except lies!" Adah played Mazeppa (the naked lady) and won the American West. In London and Paris she was escorted by royalty. During her skyrocket career, she drove herself to success, gave away a fortune, took outlandish risks, and paid with her life. Several attempts, including a script for Marilyn Monroe and a movie starring Sopia Loren, have been made to bring Adah's story to the big screen. But it remains to do justice to her technicolor life.

Hardship Inspired Franchise
Family hardship gave 41-year-old Shelly Sun the impetus to start a home-care franchising business.
In late 2001, when her husband's grandmother needed companionship and skilled nursing, her family struggled to find those services on a 24-hour basis.
That experience led Ms. Sun and her husband to launch BrightStar Group Holdings Inc., a health-care staffing agency, in October 2002, using $100,000 in savings and a $100,000 line of bank credit. The agency, which is based in Gurnee, Ill., provides home care ranging from administering shots to baby sitting.
Ms. Sun, BrightStar's chief executive, says the company, which had 2011 revenue of about $160 million, may file for an initial public offering in 2015, a year later than previously planned.
One possible hurdle affecting future growth: BrightStar's business model calls for its nurses to be paid between $32 and $50 an hour for at-home care. That can amount to 2% to 10% above local market wages, according to estimates by BrightStar, which now has more than 250 locations in 38 states.
Ms. Sun, who appeared last year on an episode of the reality show "Undercover Boss," spoke with The Wall Street Journal about how she and her husband started the business and why she is postponing its IPO. Edited excerpts:
WSJ: How did you come to see at-home care as a potential business?
Ms. Sun: I'm a certified public accountant so I'm very comfortable doing a lot of analysis. I figured out by researching that there would be a shortage of health-care labor to meet the demands of clients.
Our first nurses and certified nursing assistants, whom we interviewed, background-checked and drug-screened, were recruited through CareerBuilder.com. Our local hospital referred us to some of our first home-care clients.
Health-care workers have no more than a 45-minute drive to our offices…We're available to our families 24/7—no answering services.
WSJ: What did you take away from your stint on "Undercover Boss"?
Ms. Sun: The producers approached me. You have to give them a list of all of your locations, and they pick which to film. And the same thing with caregivers. They interviewed 200 caregivers behind closed doors and picked the caregivers that I filmed with. That really wasn't my best of my best, yet I would have hired any of them. It really just validated that we are in the right place, that we are doing the right things.
I lost my dad 18 months before filming, so having an opportunity to see that every single one of the caregivers on the show was one I would hire for my dad was a very touching and amazing thing.
WSJ: How did the recession affect your business model?
Ms. Sun: Access to capital became harder and put some strain on franchisees. For those franchisees that had expanded believing there'd be capital access, we gave them an opportunity to downsize without any fines or penalties. In most cases, that improved their cash flow by $1,000 to $1,500 a month.
WSJ: What is surprising to you about being an entrepreneur?
Ms. Sun: You can't have bad days. Your customers can't see you have bad days. Your employees can't see you have bad days. Your banks most certainly can't see you have bad days. That's what I didn't anticipate.
WSJ: You previously were planning an IPO in 2014. Why push that back now?
Ms. Sun: Our outside advisers say the market will be digesting health-care reform in 2014, so we might be undervalued in 2014, even though we are not at all impacted by the law.

Enrique has been at the helm of LA Sanitation (LASAN) as the General Manager for over eight years. He was originally appointed in 2007, and then reappointed by Mayor Garcetti in September 2013. LASAN is one of the largest agencies in the City of Los Angeles with nearly 3,000 employees and an annual revenue budget of over $1.1 billion. Through Mr. Zaldivar's leadership and management, LASAN oversees important environmental and infrastructure programs such as the City's Clean Water program, one of the largest in the world with its iconic flagship Hyperion Water Reclamation Plant; the Solid Resources program, which has achieved one of the highest recycling rates in the nation at 76.4% and climbing; and the Watershed Protection program, which is among the most innovative in the country with its use of green infrastructure for achieving water quality objectives for urban stormwater runoff, while delivering on multiple other benefits like open space, urban habitat support, and water supply. Under Enrique's leadership, LASAN has had some very significant accomplishments of great benefit to the City at large, such as:
Originally from the state of Zacatecas, Mexico, Enrique graduated from Azusa High School in the City of Azusa, attended UCLA long enough to have Bruin blood in him, and calls himself a proud Bronco from Cal Poly Pomona where he graduated as a Civil Environmental Engineer in 1985. He has also done graduate studies there. Enrique is active in several organizations and serves on several of their Boards, including the Santa Monica Bay Restoration Commission, the US Water Alliance, and others. He also serves on Cal Poly Pomona's School of Engineering Dean's Leadership Council. Enrique has been honored by several organizations for his environmental leadership stewardship, including the Los Angeles Conservation Corps (LACC), Friends of Ballona Wetlands, Heal the Bay, Community Conservation Solutions, and others. Enrique also has an interest in furthering the relationship between the U.S. and Mexico by sharing best practices and technical exchange missions between LA and cities in Mexico. Enrique started his career with the City of Los Angeles in 1985 straight out of college as an associate engineer. Twenty-two years later, he became the General Manager of LA Sanitation. Enrique and his wife, Brenda, have three children: Enrique Jr., Alonzo, and Carina.
Adel is responsible for wastewater collection system management, stormwater and watershed protection program, water quality compliance, and facilities and advance planning. Under his direction, the City prepared an award winning Water Integrated Resources Plan (IRP) for the year 2020 which relies on public input and participation and integrates water supply, water reuse, water conservation and stormwater management with wastewater facilities planning through a regional watershed approach. Most recently, he led the collaborative development of the "Core Attributes of Effectively Managed Wastewater Collection Systems," a document that promotes good engineering practices essential to managing and operating separate sanitary collection systems.Adel has published numerous technical papers and participated in various technical conferences and committees. He is currently serving as President of National Association of Clean Water Agencies (NACWA), and is a member of the American Academy of Environmental Engineers, the American Public Works Association (APWA), and Water Environment Federation (WEF). In addition to his participation in NACWA, Adel has participated in many national and global programs and initiatives including UNESCO's water management in Megacities, the ASPEN Institute water resiliency dialogue, and the Clinton Global Initiative efforts. Adel is currently chairing a study group developing a report on water resiliency in the US as part of the President's National Infrastructure Advisory Council (NIAC). Adel and his wife Lubna are proud parents of three children: Jana, Jad and Dareen.

Harold (Harry) William Turbes died October 28 at Galtier Care Center in St. Paul, after a stay in the Minneapolis Veterans Administration Medical Center.
Harold (Harry) William Turbes died October 28 at Galtier Care Center in St. Paul, after a stay in Minneapolis Veterans Administration Medical Center. After a private burial in St. Raphael Catholic Cemetery, friends are invited to join the family for a reception at 1:30 p.m. on Saturday, Nov. 3, 2012 at the Springfield American Legion.

Fletcher First Baptist Church has seen its share of change over the past 175 years.
Fletcher First Baptist Church has seen its share of change over the past 175 years.
Four different buildings served as sanctuaries for the congregation as it grew from a small group of people seeking a new church in 1838 to a membership of more than 700 today. And more than 30 pastors have led the church over the years.
But one thing that hasn't changed at the church off Cane Creek Road is its commitment to traditional values and worship.
"We haven't changed with the times," said the Rev. Roy Waldroup, who has served as the church's pastor for the past 20 years. "We stay the way we are."
The church is celebrating its 175th anniversary this month with a revival. The church also held a special service featuring singing last week to mark the anniversary.
The revival will begin on Nov. 17 with Waldroup's son, Darrin, leading services at 10:45 a.m. and 6 p.m. The revival will continue on Nov. 18-Nov. 20 with services at 7 p.m.
Darrin Waldroup is the pastor of Bethel Missionary Baptist Church in Spruce Pine and was an associate pastor at Fletcher First Baptist with his father for a number of years. He was also ordained at the Fletcher church.
He said he is excited to be leading the revival at his father's church.
"It's always precious to be able to go home," he said. "It's a joy to me. I'm looking forward to it."
Darrin Waldroup said the revival does not have a theme but he plans to "contend for the faith" each night.
Roy Waldroup said he is excited to have his son return for the revival.
"He's really good and not just because he's my son," Waldroup said.
Waldroup called the 175th anniversary a major milestone for the church and the perfect time to celebrate its success.
"It seemed the 175th would be the thing to do," he said.
Fletcher First Baptist Church was organized as Salem Baptist Church and held its first service on Nov. 17, 1838. Most of the charter members of the new church came from Cane Creek Baptist Church in Fairview. Salem Baptist was built just north of where Fletcher First Baptist stands today and was led by the Rev. Bruce Bailey.
That first service in 1838 was on a Saturday rather than a Sunday. Waldroup said it seemed odd to him for the congregation to hold the first service in a new church on a Saturday. He could only guess that the time it took people to travel from their homes in Fairview to the new church might have played a role in the decision.
"There were no cars in those days," he said. "It's hard to visualize what they went through in those days to get from place to place."
The church's second building was constructed in 1897 on Old Airport Road. It is now a private home.
In 1926, a third church was built on Cane Creek Road, and the church's name was changed to Fletcher Baptist Church. The church added an educational building, remodeled the auditorium, bought new furniture and again changed its name — this time to Fletcher First Baptist Church — in 1956.
In more recent years, Fletcher First Baptist bought additional land on its north, west and east sides to build its fourth sanctuary, which has room for 920 people. This church building was dedicated in 2004.
Waldroup said the church also has room for additional parking and could increase the number of services it holds if the church continues to grow.
"We built it for the future," he said.
Waldroup, 70, is the 34th pastor to serve the church. He has led the congregation since 1993 and has no plans to retire.
"I have no immediate plans to step down," he said. "It's just day to day."
The love the members of the church have for one another and their unchanging faith makes the church special place, Waldroup said.
"We stay the old time way," he said.

JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (Nov. 14, 2013) – The ETSU volleyball team wraps up regular season play this weekend as the Bucs host North Florida and Jacksonville in Atlantic Sun Conference action. ETSU takes on UNF Friday night at 7 p.m. inside Brooks Gym and Jacksonville Saturday at 3 p.m.
The Bucs (21-7, 15-1 A-Sun) have won eight straight overall and 14 consecutive home matches, while ETSU is eyeing its first regular season conference championship since going 9-0 in 2006. The Blue and Gold lock up a regular season crown and the top seed in next week's A-Sun Championship with a win and a Jacksonville loss.
On Friday, senior captain Megan Devine (Kingsport, Tenn.) will be honored before the game during "Senior Night" recognition, while Saturday is "Fan Appreciation Day." One lucky fan will win $100 cash, while five others can win between $50 and $25 cash.
ETSU extended its winning streaks by defeating Lipscomb (3-2) and Northern Kentucky (3-1) last weekend inside Brooks Gym.
Devine and sophomore Khadijah Wiley (Columbus, Ga.) earned A-Sun weekly honors as Devine was tabbed Player of the Week and Wiley took home Defensive Player of the Week accolades. In the two matches, Devine averaged 5.00 kills (45 total) and 4.00 digs (36 total) per set, while Wiley posted 1.50 blocks (12 total) and 3.11 kills (28 total), along with recording a .487 attack percentage.
As a team, the Bucs averaged 14.33 kills, 13.33 assists, 1.67 service aces, 16.78 digs, and 2.89 blocks per set in the wins over Lipscomb and NKU. Junior Katie Muey (Alexandria, Ind.) led ETSU with 38 total digs and fellow junior Meredith Hardy (Kingsport, Tenn.) tallied five of the Bucs' 15 service aces.
The Ospreys (10-18, 6-10 A-Sun) enter the weekend as one of three teams fighting for the two remaining spots in the Atlantic Sun Tournament. UNF is in contention with Kennesaw State and Florida Gulf Coast for the final spots in the six-team tournament. The Ospreys have to win on Friday night to remain in the hunt for postseason play.
UNF split its two matches last weekend as the Ospreys were swept by Kennesaw State before rebounding with a 3-1 win over Mercer.
As a team, the Ospreys rank in the top three among A-Sun foes in service aces (2nd, 1.34), digs (3rd, 14.86), and blocks (3rd, 2.21).
Junior middle blocker Cameron McGuire ranks third in the conference in blocks (1.06), senior outside hitter Anna Budinska ranks fourth in kills (3.73), junior libero Cari Whitmire is fourth in digs (4.20) and freshman setter Abby Fesl is ninth in assists (8.51).
The Ospreys have won three of their last five, while six of UNF's 10 wins have come in three-set matches.
ETSU vs. UNF
ETSU leads the all-time series, 11-4, including a five-set comeback over the Ospreys last month in Jacksonville. Devine led all players with 21 kills en route to claiming the all-time A-Sun kills record, while Muey finished with a match-high 17 kills, placing her in the 1,000-dig club. After the Bucs dropped the first two sets, ETSU took the third, 25-18, and never trailed from there as the Blue and Gold won the fourth, 25-12, and fifth, 15-13.
Friday marks a rematch of last year's A-Sun Championship, where ETSU also defeated UNF in five sets. The Bucs won the first two sets in that match and took down the Ospreys in the fifth, 15-12.
Overall, ETSU has won six of the last seven matches in the series and all six matches at home.
Jacksonville has won five straight and 15 of its last 16 matches as the Dolphins carry a record of 25-3, 14-2 into Friday's match at USC Upstate.
The Dolphins' 25 wins rank third nationally (as of Nov. 11), while Jacksonville also ranks third nationally in service aces (1.79), 32nd in hitting percentage (.259), and 43rd in kills (13.80).
Jacksonville has swept four of its five opponents during this win streak and the Dolphins are a perfect 13-0 in three-set matches. Two of its three setbacks have come in five-set matches.
Sophomore Sammie Strausbaugh, senior Kendall Courtney and redshirt-junior Taylor Nyquist are first, second and third in service aces per set in the conference, boasting 0.36, 0.32 and 0.31, respectively. Courtney is also fifth in assists per set (10.36), while Strausbaugh sits eighth in kills per set (3.31). Senior Kylie Jacob is fourth in both hitting percentage (.342) and blocks per set (1.05), while Robertson is ninth in hitting percentage (.300).
ETSU vs. JACKSONVILLE
The Dolphins lead the all-time series, 9-6, including a five-set win over ETSU last month in Jacksonville.
Despite out-hitting the Dolphins, .245 to .239, ETSU committed 27 attack and 15 service errors, while also being out-blocked, 15-11, in the match. Devine ended with a double-double (18 kills, 11 digs), while Wiley, Hardy and Ivey Rice (Johnson City, Tenn.) combined to hit .407 (41-8-81). Rice led all players with 19 kills, while Hardy added 12 and Wiley pitched in with 10.
In five career matches versus Jacksonville, Devine is averaging 3.64 kills per set, while Hardy is averaging 1.53 blocks and hitting .411 (37-7-73) per set in four matches.

ETSU has registered 20-plus wins in the last two seasons, while the 15 conference wins are tied for the most in program history (2001).
The Bucs are looking to capture their sixth regular season conference championship in program history – 2006 (A-Sun), 1991 (SoCon), 1987-89 (SoCon).
As a team, ETSU ranks 25th nationally in blocks (2.74), 37th in winning percentage (.750), and 44th in hitting percentage (.249). Individually, Megan Devine is 14th in kills (4.55) and 16th in points (5.05), Meredith Hardy is 15th in blocks (1.46) and Jamie Rutledge (Kingsport, Tenn.) is 39th in assists (10.90).
Megan Devine has recorded 10 straight double-doubles and has 19 total on the season. Last season, Devine broke the A-Sun single-season record with 25 double-doubles and double-doubles in conference play with 15. Should Devine record double-doubles in both matches this weekend, the outside hitter would tie her conference mark. For her career, Devine has 71 double-doubles.
Megan Devine has played in 489 total sets in her four-year playing career, placing her second in ETSU history. Jennifer Garriga holds the all-time record with 498 sets played from 1990-93.
Megan Devine, the all-time ETSU and A-Sun kills leader with 1,897, also ranks second among active NCAA Division I players. This season, Devine has registered 487 kills, which places her fourth in ETSU single-season history. Last season, Devine broke the single-season record with 547.
Megan Devine also ranks fifth all-time among ETSU dig leaders and is two shy of passing Jennifer Manchester (1992-95) for fourth. Devine has tallied 1,439 digs in her career, and the Kingsport, Tenn. native needs 20 digs to pass Karen Freeburg (2001-04) for third.
Meredith Hardy has 131 block assists on the season, which are tied for the third-most in ETSU single-season history. Hardy's 176 block assists last year ranked second, behind Pam Farmer's 181, set in 1984.
Meredith Hardy leads all A-Sun players with 161 total blocks and has recorded at least one block in 90 consecutive matches. Hardy's 161 blocks rank fifth-most in single-season history, while her 201 blocks last season are second.
The Bucs have totaled 477 block assists this season, which rank fourth in program history.
Following last weekend's win over Lipscomb, the Bucs swept the Bisons, becoming the first A-Sun team to accomplish the feat since 2008-09.

Lauren Clark will be Celebrating Brew Day Saturday at Partners Village Store
The craft beer renaissance is in full swing, once again. But in New England, the tradition of beer making dates all the way back to the Pilgrims, according to Lauren Clark, author of "Crafty Bastards."
Clark will be part of a celebration of craft beer this Saturday at Partners Village Store in Westport. Celebrating Brew Day with "Crafty Bastards" will also feature samples of beers from Pretty Things Beer & Ale Project, a contract brewer that works out of the Buzzards Bay Brewery in Wesport; "Good Brew Hunting" columnist Nate Burns; and Partners Village Store co-owner Nancy Crosby, who was at the forefront of craft beer making in the 1970s. Back then, she ran Crosby & Baker with Pat Baker, selling products for beer making and wine making.
A journalist, brewer and former bartender, "Crafty Bastards" author Clark first got into craft beers at the Cambridge Brewing Co., in 1997. Her experience writing about beer, as well as wine and spirits, also includes the drinkboston.com blog that she operated from 2006 to 2011 before moving to California.
In 2012, in the midst of a whole new wave of craft brewers in New England and across the country, Clark decided to research the history of craft brew making in New England, resulting in the recently published book.
The latest wave of craft brewers is the result, in part, of people in their 20s and 30s who grew up with craft beers — but it all started with the Pilgrims, who landed in Plymouth because their beer supply aboard the Mayflower was diminishing, said Clark. And surprisingly, the Puritans were also beer drinkers.
"Another thing that surprised me was that the women did the brewing and the kids drank the beer, too. They would make a weak table beer and a stronger beer," said Clark in a recent phone interview.
The beer the early settlers brewed in New England would be what today is considered to be an ale, which remained popular in New England up to Prohibition in 1920 and after it was repealed in 1933. "This region is unique for that — the rest of the country switched to lager," she said attributing New Englanders' taste for ale to the area's heavy lineage to England and Ireland.
Another little known fact that may interest craft beer enthusiasts is that New England was a major hops-producing region in the 1700s and 1800s. Hops production eventually moved to New York and then out west to vast open spaces and the more preferable climate in the Pacific Northwest. "Hops are a little like grapes, and grapes grow really well out there," she said.
But there's a renewed interest in growing hops in New England as part of the whole craft brew renaissance and local/artisanal food movement. There's a hops farm in Maine and another affiliated with the University of Vermont.
"Part of it is that we have a new generation of beer drinkers who came of age knowing what craft beer is," said Clark of the craft brew renaissance, which has led to about 200 craft brewers in New England. "They've always known what craft beer was. Before that, brewers had to educate people."
And the generation that grew up with craft beers has pioneers like Crosby to thank for the craft beer renaissance that started in the 1970s with companies like Crosby & Baker, she said.
"She and Pat Baker started one of the first home brew supply companies in the country," said Clark, adding the two who were also instrumental in home brewing becoming legal in Massachusetts in the 1970s.
Celebrating Brew Day with "Crafty Bastards" at Partners Village Store will be held from 4 to 6 p.m., Saturday, July 26 at 865 Main Road, Westport. To RSVP, call Partners to reserve a seat for the event at 508-636-2572. "Crafty Bastards," published by Union Park Press, is for sale at Partners and other booksellers.

How To: Make a Kitchen Island with IKEA LACK Tables
A while ago we pined for a colorful kitchen island — but didn't want to spend a ton of money. So we decided to stack two IKEA LACK side tables to create our own kitchen island.
(At the time the photos were taken, we were using the unit up against a wall so technically it wasn't an island at that time.) We used extra strong, double-sided foam adhesive squares to attach the IKEA LACK tables together. Once we placed the heavy maple butcher block on top, which we bought at The Door Store in Cambridge, the weight "cemented" the adhesive squares in place. We used the same foam squares to attach the wood top to the IKEA table. The structure feels very solid. And it's a perfect place to store pots and pans!
• IKEA has even adjusted the price of LACK tables to an all-time low of $7.99 each!
• A 24" x 24" maple butcher block top is $124 at The Door Store.

Dell to counter carbon with Euro tree-planting plan
Greenhouse gases bagged
Dell has brought its carbon-confounding Plant a Tree For Me scheme to Europe, allowing buyers to make a small donation to help counter the emissions arising from keeping their computers powered up.
The scheme gives buyers of notebook, desktop and server Dells the chance to donate, respectively, £1/€1.50, £3/€4.50 or £20/€29.50 to contribute to the replanting of trees in "professionally managed reforestation projects".
CEO Michael Dell said he would match donations made by consumers in the next three months with cash from his own capacious pockets.
Dell's Plant a Tree For Me scheme: cough up to counter carbon
The green donation programme is being hosted by US charity Carbonfund.org, which also lets punters make tree-planting friendly financial contributions for purchased inkjet and laser printers; LCD and CRT monitors; and workstations, with donations ranging from £0.50 to £6.50.
Or you can just pay £2.50 to have a tree planted. Or more than one. Carbonfund.org's European reforestation site is located in Hungary.
Dell also said it was now demanding greenhouse gas emission data from its suppliers, warning those who fail to do so that they may not make the grade as a Dell supplier in future.

Danica talks dating driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr.
DAYTONA BEACH, Fla. (AP) — Danica Patrick slid into her chair at NASCAR media day Thursday and promptly informed her audience it would be race questions only.
Yeah, right. The ensuing 20-plus minutes consisted mostly of questions about her relationship with fellow driver Ricky Stenhouse Jr., and Patrick dutifully answered them all. She and Stenhouse better get used to this, at least in the early going.
Patrick and Stenhouse confirmed in January they are dating, and the duo will be competing against each other this year for Sprint Cup rookie of the year.
"Initially, it was a little bit of a mental hurdle of like, 'We compete against each other,' " Patrick said of the relationship, which she likened to Romeo and Juliet. "It's like the Capulets and Montagues with (me in) Chevy and (him in) Ford, this just doesn't work. But you can't tell your heart who to like or not like. And so in the end, it ended up being something that I just didn't think was a big deal at all."
The two spent the last two seasons racing in the Nationwide Series and Patrick leaned on Stenhouse, the two-time Nationwide champion, for friendship and advice after her move to NASCAR. She said the relationship grew deeper, and they went public after she filed for divorce in early January from her husband, Paul Hospenthal. She and Hospenthal announced in November they were splitting up after seven years of marriage.
The 30-year-old Patrick rarely talked about her personal life while married to Hospenthal, but she was open Thursday about the 25-year-old Stenhouse.
"I'm just relaxed," Patrick said. "I feel happy. I feel like I am enjoying my life. It makes me smile to talk about him. I feel like I'm on 'The Bachelorette.'"
Stenhouse was equally as open, saying "she's hot!" when asked what attracted him to Patrick before adding "she loves to cook, and I love to eat." He admitted he'd never heard of the Capulets and Montagues, and refused to say who he would push on the last lap of a race at Daytona if Patrick was battling for the win with one of his Roush Fenway Racing teammates.
"I'm going three-wide," he smiled. "There's enough room at Daytona."
Although the two did not publicly interact Thursday, they are clearly content with their relationship. And because Patrick, who leads all celebrities with 12 Super Bowl ads, is used to being under the media spotlight Stenhouse said he can lean on his girlfriend for guidance as he finds himself suddenly scrutinized.
"I'm fine. The headlines don't say anything about me," he said. "I'm taking this seriously. But if I win a race, it might be 'Danica's boyfriend won a race.'"
The relationship is fodder for endless jokes and razzing from fellow competitors, and most were eager to dive into the topic Thursday.
"Pat on the back for him," said Ty Dillon.
"We can come up with plenty of jokes and how humorous it could be on the track and what each of them are thinking — we'll all be watching with great curiosity, for sure," said Jimmie Johnson.
But if the two have an incident on the track? "That would be one heck of a show," Johnson said. "I'm sure ratings would go up quite a bit. You never know. Danica has shown she can get quite upset at times, so there could be something going on."
Patrick was ready for all the ribbing, and even joked about what would happen if Stenhouse wrecked her on the track.
"He better have a really good, 'I'm sorry,'" Patrick said with a wink.
The duo is moving forward with their relationship, with Patrick saying she planned to cook for Stenhouse on Valentine's Day and she packed an entire suitcase full of gifts for her boyfriend (he got her "fancy playing cards" he said). She also told reporters how after so many months of hanging out with Stenhouse, she had to push him to ask her out on an official date — an account Stenhouse confirmed before sheepishly admitting he couldn't remember what restaurant they went to for the date.
Defending Sprint Cup champion Brad Keselowski cautioned that things could get sticky with the happy couple.
"It's difficult because there's that part of you that thinks, 'Ah, this is a little hokie. Can we just focus on the on-track part?'" he said. "But you have to understand that as a race car driver, you make life decisions that put you in a position of danger all the time, 24-7, and that inherently makes you a unique person and the decisions you make in your mental process to get there unique. And whatever outside influences you have are going to affect how you perform.
"So it makes it a story because there's no way for it not to affect their performance. It ties back in. I think it's not really much of a story that their dating as it is as much of a story if they were to break up. That would be incredible to watch, to be quite honest with you. There's so many different ways that could go. I mean, imagine if they were to break up and then wreck each other for like the next six races because they were mad?"
Stenhouse dismissed Keselowski's take, "coming from a guy who has never had a girlfriend?"
Johnson had a recommendation: Patrick and Stenhouse need to keep their relationship from spilling onto the track.
"If it does, it's going to impact their lifestyle and their job," Johnson said. "We're paid to go on the racetrack and race. So if they're handling things differently on the track because of their personal relationship, it's going to affect their jobs; their owners aren't going to be happy or their sponsors."

Petraeus' Partner in Scandal: Why Paula Broadwell's Indiscretion is So Curious
Fans of military and political literature likely know the name Paula Broadwell for her book All In: The Education of General David Petraeus, a biography of the man who until this weekend was the head of the Central Intelligence Agency. Those who knew of Broadwell knew her as an accomplished woman: ridiculously well-educated, worldly, motherly, and outrageously driven. Now, the world knows her as one thing: the sexy younger woman in a scandal. She may as well be the desperate [insert miscellaneous job description here] at the start of a Katherine Heigl rom-com, pining after the unattainable object of her affection. She could be the sexy, alluring journalist, the forlorn woman lusting after a powerful man, or even the irresistible grad student who's a little too hot for teacher (or distinguished General). Unfortunately, even in politics, the broad strokes of pop culture often prevail. The problem is that while pop culture gives us a few buckets in which to dump Broadwell, in reality, she's nothing like those women and perhaps that's why she's become so interesting to us.
Once considered someone so accomplished that her résumé practically needs to be presented as novella, Broadwell is now known as little more than a lovesick schoolgirl, enduring the treatment of your average celebrity home-wrecker. Just this morning, The New York Daily News uncovered a photo from Petraeus' Senate Select Intelligence Committee hearing on the General's nomination for the director of the C.I.A., pointing to the smile on Broadwell's face as Petraeus and his wife, Holly, walk past and characterizing the look as "locked on to her target like a Smart bomb." Many depictions of the author have focused on her physical beauty, referring to her fashionable wardrobe, toned arms, and her past status as her high school's Homecoming Queen.
Of course, part of the blame goes to the thing that broke the story in the first place: Broadwell's emails to the Florida woman who brought the emails to the Federal Bureau of Investigation's attention. According to The New York Post, the emails included such high school girl fight hits as "back off" and "stay away from my guy," rendering Broadwell a character not unlike Erika Christensen in Swimfan with a touch of Bridget Jones desperation. In the wake of the scandal, encounters between Broadwell and Petraeus have been described as "disconcerting" or "inappropriate." One aide noted that Broadwell seemed to have special candor with the General. "Those who worked for him never tried to leverage our relationship with him. It seemed to a lot of us that she didn't have that filter," the aide told The Washington Post.
The result is a depiction that is expectedly unflattering, even if it is incomplete. She is, after all, a married woman who had an affair with a U.S. official. But in just a few short days, Broadwell lost her reputation as the woman who had it all, as Inspired Woman Magazine touted in February 2012: "Finding a balance between her professional and personal life is something Broadwell seems to excel at, just like everything else she attempts." She has multiple degrees hailing from Westpoint, Harvard's JFK School of Government, and the University of Denver's school of International Studies, in addition to being a research associate at Harvard's Center for Public Leadership and a doctoral candidate. The proceeds from her book on Petraeus, titled All In, were donated to a cause she's worked tirelessly to support: benefits for injured veterans of the war in Afghanistan. Even as she endures a scandal, she's still showing her proclivity for charity, giving her chance to participate in a charity parachute jump to veteran David Bixler, who lost both his legs in Afghanistan. But now, she's "the other woman." And unfortunately, the picture most of us have seen of the "other woman" is one that reeks of desperation, loneliness, and pining, while her partner in crime is merely "disgraced."
Yes, Petraeus is enduring his fair share of shame – losing his post as the head of the C.I.A. isn't exactly a slap on the wrist – but he's not the one who was caught sending juvenile emails. The former C.I.A. director has been displayed as regretful and one who hangs his head in shame while Broadwell's persona is that of a swooning teenager, mooning over her idol.
But, despite the boxes our pop culture experience provides for women in Broadwell's situation, she truly doesn't conform. In reality, she's 40 years old. She's in the thick of her career. She's got two grown children. She's not exactly a desperate singleton racing after an impressive public figure. She's pretty extraordinary herself. Unfortunately for the author and accomplished scholar, there's no pop culture box for the kind of woman she's become in the wake of this scandal and that makes her all the more fascinating, which means her days as the focus of our ardent attention are far from over.
Of course, now that we've established that she's not some wine-guzzling sad singleton chasing a married man, like the character even Homeland's genius Carrie Matheson is sometimes reduced to, what we're faced with is a much harsher reality. Someone who had it as good as Broadwell did can still find herself in a compromising situation. It brings the issue a little closer to home when the comforting and often comical illustrations of the other woman are rendered pretty useless. Suddenly, those broad pop culture strokes are feeling a little less like a disservice and more like a security blanket.
