Through the Skin
A film by
Elliot Montague
US, 2002, 18 minutes, Color/BW, DVD
Order No. W03811
In this highly personal experimental autobiography, emerging filmmaker Elliot Montague presents a daring meditation on the experience and trauma of growing up androgynous. Incorporating home movies with vintage health public service announcements, along with his own performance pieces, Elliot jarringly discloses the conflicts between his changing female body with that of his gender and sexual identity. Through a montage of images set against a dissonant soundtrack, he speaks about the misunderstandings and tensions his identity struggle caused his family and the depression that later resulted. In scenes where Elliot binds his breasts, he painfully discloses how his parents sent him to a psychologist who diagnosed him with bi-polar disorder � a diagnosis that later proved to be incorrect. Exploring the complexities and implications of feeling androgynous in a female body, THROUGH THE SKIN presents more than a personal testimony on the transgender experience, it provokes universal questions on the meaning of gender.

"�required viewing for all courses dealing with adolescence, body politics and queer issues. A complicated, layered, experimental meditation on becoming-feminine, the film explodes conventional vocabularies of cinema and of sexuality, breaking through walls of anger and anxiety.

When the housing bubble burst in 2007, the construction industry was sucker-punched.
Of industries hit hardest during the recession that followed, the construction sector experienced the largest national decrease in employment, according to the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics.
By December 2008, gross job gains were the lowest on record, and it was estimated that almost 1 million jobs had vanished.
In McHenry County, where plumbing and electrical work, site preparation, and other construction-related trades had been reliable and lucrative occupations for nearly a decade, the housing collapse decimated the local workforce.
The effects are reflected in the county's unemployment figures – 3.8 percent in October 2007, 5.8 percent in October 2008, and 9.6 percent in July 2009.
They also are reflected in these figures:
• 6.5 percent: The county's residential vacancy rate, according to data compiled by the McHenry County Economic Development Corp. and the U.S. Census Bureau. In 2000, the rate was 3.8 percent.
• About 300 students: The amount enrollment will drop in Cary School District 26 by 2013 due to the decline in new housing and a halt in housing turnover bringing new children into the district.
• 28 percent: The percentage by which traffic accidents dropped in McHenry County between 2009 and the five years leading up to it. The Illinois Department of Transportation says the change is due in large part to the economy. Fewer people are driving to work, and people have less money for discretionary spending.
Today, four years after the collapse of the housing industry nationally and locally, the effect is arguably most reflected in the offices and homes of those who work, or once worked, in the construction trades.
Take a seat at The Little Chef on Riverside Drive in McHenry on an early weekday morning and you might meet Brad Krueger of Johnsburg. He is one of hundreds whose lives have been upended by the housing bust.
A father of two boys – one in high school, one in college – Krueger has worked as a concrete construction operator engineer for 23 years. He used to come in to The Little Chef before work, order a big breakfast, and shoot the breeze on his way to a job. There were lots of others like him, said Terry Fair, who owns The Little Chef.
The workers still come in, but now it's to buy a cup of joe. Nobody can afford the big breakfasts anymore, she said.
"It's just a nice place to go," Krueger explained. "Workers go there and we can all share stories, commiserate."
Once busy pouring foundations for subdivisions in towns such as Spring Grove, where the pre-recession average was 74 new single-family homes a year, Krueger now is on his union's unemployed list and has been for about three years.
"I felt guilty when I first started on the list, like gosh, I'm not working. What is wrong with me?" Krueger said. "After a while, I realized this isn't my fault."
For Krueger, the change has meant tightening the family budget and even changing his hobbies.
"I'm doing a lot of hunting and fishing now," he said. "I got into gardening, too. When you get a lot of extra time on your hands and don't have any extra money, these are things that bring something back to your table."
Another thing he especially likes about gardening – it's a job that uses his hands.
"That's where I belong," he said.
Steven Anderson, owner of Lantern Electric Co. in Lakemoor, also was hit hard when McHenry County's new home and business building dried up.
Anderson started Lantern Electric 14 years ago – "mid-housing boom," he said. He spoke on a sunny September morning from behind a tidy desk in his office on Wegner Road. He's had time to keep the desk tidy these days.
"When we started, residential was 50, maybe 60 percent of business," he said. "We were doing some major tract homes, town homes and custom homes, too. The other half was mostly new commercial and industrial."
According to local municipal records, by the second year Anderson was in business, he was working in a McHenry County that saw more than 500 new single-family homes go up in Algonquin, Johnsburg, McHenry and Woodstock alone. Residents had money to build, add on, and burn.
Today, it's different.
For example, housing permits from Crystal Lake, Fox River Grove, Lakewood, Oakwood Hills, Prairie Grove and Cary dropped from 599 in 2005 to just 35 in 2009, according to a 2011 Kasarda Enrollment Study used by local school districts.
Anderson and others like him have had to adapt.
He used to employ five to six electricians besides himself. He now employs two to three, depending on the month.
He has changed the nature of his business, too. The residential portion has dropped to 15 percent. Most of his work now is remodels, industrial and government-contracted jobs.
"We're still paying the bills," Anderson said. "But for the bigger jobs, we have to drive farther." Work now takes him to places like Winnetka, Schiller Park and Bensenville, he said.
Anderson remembers one of the last big projects to go south, signaling the end of boom times in McHenry County. It was a contract for Lakemoor Townhomes near Lily Lake Road. He was hired to do all of the electrical work for seven, five-unit buildings. The contract was bid in 2007 and worth "a couple hundred thousand dollars."
"Ten were built. Ten out of 35 units," Anderson said ruefully. The developer couldn't sell the rest. Today, the lot is mostly empty and Lantern Electric is out the cash.
It is not just that times are tough for construction because people don't have money to build, Anderson explained. It is also because foreclosed homes have flooded the market.
"You can buy a home for half of what it would take to build new," Anderson said.
If there is a silver lining in the strife, the extra time in the office and looking for work these days has pushed Anderson to continually think outside the box for how he can grow his business.
In February, Lantern Electric Company got a website that is helping to drive in business.
Anderson hopes that perhaps, if there is another housing boom, the web presence will help him catch the wave in stride.
Although not a turnaround, August news from the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics could signal a start in the right direction.
The Chicago area's 6.1 percent rate of job growth in the construction industry was faster than the .03 percent gain nationwide, and the industry enjoyed the largest-year-over-year growth out of any category for the reporting period.

LEEDS United head south to the New Den with a weakened squad for Sunday's Sky TV date with Millwall after a week to forget, writes Tony Harber.
If it was not bad enough that they surrendered 6-1 to Watford last Saturday to slide down to 18th in the Npower Championship, the game also left the Whites without three of their first team players as they look to halt a run of six matches without a win.
Rodolph Austin faces a lengthy spell on the sidelines after cracking his ankle bone and his absence has been compounded by the loss at the same time of fellow midfielder Michael Brown after he received his fifth booking of the campaign to pick up a one-game ban.
Ever present centre-back Jason Pearce will also miss the Millwall game as he sits out the first of a three-match ban following his sending off last weekend.
Many observers thought the red card harsh, but the FA dismissed Leeds' appeal on Tuesday, leaving manager Neil Warnock frustrated.
He said: "To me it sums up everything that's wrong with officials in football.
"The referee was going to book him and I've no doubt at all that the tackle deserved a yellow card. But his linesmen have told him to send Jason off. The referee's right on top of the tackle, they're miles away but they make the decision.
"We had good grounds for appeal but I'm not surprised they (the FA) haven't let him off. It's a mator blow because Jason's been excellent since coming here and we've got tough games coming up. I find it hard to accept."
Warnock has been frustrated further this week with a proposed loan deal for Stoke striker Cameron Jerome stalling, but at least there was better news than expected with confirmation of Austin's injury after it was initially feared he had suffered a double fracture.
He added: "I am gutted for Rudy, he has been our best midfield player this season.
"If there is a plus, it is that Rudy hasn't suffered the double fracture we all feared on Saturday. But losing a player of Rudy's quality is still a big blow.
"It's one thing after another at the moment. We're not having much luck.
"But we've got to go to Millwall and stand up and be counted. Not many people will expect us to win there but you can always upset the odds in football."
Millwall will be without injured top scorer Darius Henderson, although they have an able deputy in former Leeds striker Andy Keogh, who was on target in their 2-1 win over Derby last Saturday.
In contrast to Leeds, Kenny Jackett's Lions go into the game unbeaten in their last nine and the run has included four-goal thumpings of promotion-chasing Nottingham Forest and Huddersfield Town.

BBC Farming Today New badger cull licenses issued, on-farm slaughter September 2017
BBC Farming Today Tuesday 12th September 2017 Cull expert Prof. Rosie Woodroffe makes the point that DEFRA gave increased biosecurity advice in the cull zones so even if they could show a bTB decrease (which they can't) they couldn't attribute it to culling. It is revealing too that Nigel Gibbens admits they were going to go ahead whatever the analysis of the first 3 years said.Radio 4 Farming Today talks about the New English badger cull licenses this morning - from 3 minutes 15 seconds http://www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/b0930znx
Statement from Dr Brian May
We are concerned and deeply disappointed that the Government has issued 11 new Badger Cull licences to add to the 10 already existing. We have always opposed badger culling because of the cruelty and inhumaneness of free shooting badgers in open fields at night, as confirmed by the government's own Independent Expert Panel.
Message from Dr Brian May
Message from Dr. Brian May For the badgers - and actually for us as a nation - this cull is a tragedy and a disaster.What's less understood is that it's a tragedy for the farmers and the cattle too. The drive behind continuing with a policy which is failing seems to be that 'we have to be seen to do something, rather than nothing
Brian May To Auction Guitars In Aid Of Badger Charity
Queen guitarist Brian May is set to auction 11 Badger brand guitars this coming weekend in aid of badger charities. The celebrated guitarist and astrophysicist has campaigned for years against the UK's controversial badger culling policy that was designed to prevent the spread of bovine tuberculosis.

Before the Best Buy in Stroud Township opened, music blaring from the audio department set a high energy mood for employees.
Before the Best Buy in Stroud Township opened, music blaring from the audio department set a high energy mood for employees.
Minutes before the store's midnight opening, Best Buy General Manager Keith Scheurich called for a staff meeting and pep talk.
"I know it is not ideal working on Thanksgiving," Scheurich told staffers, and then asked workers to thank their family and friends for sacrificing some of their holiday time together.
He also advised workers to stay hydrated.
"This is our Super Bowl," Scheurich said. "Remember, every customer and every sale matters."
The staff cheered and ran to their departments as Scheurich went to the door and yelled, "It's time!"
More than 400 shoppers had lined up outside of the store by the time it opened midnight.
The first customer had arrived at 10 a.m. Thanksgiving Day. Inside, workers started to arrive between 10 and 11 p.m.
Scheurich has worked every Black Friday since he started with the company nine years ago. The store is run differently on the traditionally busiest shopping day of the year.
"We want to make sure people are safe. It's very controlled chaos," Scheurich said.
A barricade fence was set up from the Best Buy entrance, past Pet Smart and continuing in front of Bed Bath & Beyond. At 11:30 p.m., the line went beyond that, wrapping around the corner and trailing down the side of the strip mall.
A Stroud Area Regional Police officer patrolled the line. A squad car cruised back and forth and police handled at least two instances of line-jumping by moving the jumpers to the end of the line.
Scheurich walked the line, pausing to address the crowd like a master of ceremonies. Parts of the crowd clapped and cheered as he pumped them up for the door opening. He also was there to give instructions and talk safety.
He told shoppers that everyone would not be let into the store at once. Instead, the line would move forward in waves and the store would be closed briefly if there were any problems.
Best Buy employees walked along the line asking shoppers what they were looking for and handing out tickets for specially priced items in advertisements. Shoppers were allowed just one sale item each.
Shoppers were given maps of the floor plan, which was set up as a series of mazes to keep the crowd corralled. Large product boxes created temporary maze walls inside the store and color-coded duct tape arrows on the floor guided shoppers to televisions, computers and tablets or the main checkout line.
The first sale of Black Friday was an unremarkable DVD, sold at 12:08 a.m., for which the shopper had spent hours waiting in line.
And at 4 a.m. the parking lot was still full and shoppers were still looking for deals.

Civility Now! Dems Threaten Violence Over RTW Legislation – Updated with video of assault
[Guest post by JD]
Michigan Dems threaten violence on the floor of the House, and via Twitter, over Right To Work legislation.
There were also reports that the Kock Brothers Americans For Prosperity tent was torn down, while people were in the tent.
Their calls for civility continue to ring hollow.
UPDATE – Mr Crowder being assaulted by union thug.
Obama Monday, this is rich in irony … "We've got to get past this whole situation where we manufacture crises because of politics … [that] leads to less certainty, more conflict, and we can't all focus on coming together to grow," Obama claimed.
Maybe he should stick with get in your neighbor's face, punch back twice as hard.

Faculty Involvement
Faculty members are the key to the success of sophomore year students. Faculty may participate in SYI's Early Warning Referral System, Academic Workshops, Pre-Major Club Advisement, and Professional Development opportunities. Faculty members who are interested in participating in any one of these opportunities should contact the office for more information.
Early Warning Referral System
In fall 2014, the S.T.E.A.R. Early Warning System was implemented targeting all Freshmen and Sophomore students at Lehman. It relied on faculty participation to identify "at-risk" students and trigger alerts for advisors to create intervention plans and provide student support services. Early identification of students at-risk would allow timely intervention to support student success, which in turn would promote student persistence and retention.
Major Area of Study Workshops
Faculty members may participate in leading major/career workshops for small groups of sophomore students interested in pursuing the specified major area of study. The objective is to encourage sophomores to begin the process of exploring various majors and career paths, develop a sense of purpose, and develop faculty relationships. In addition, early major selection would allow timely advisement and selection of major courses, which in turn would promote student commitment, persistence, and retention.
Pre-Major Club Advisement
The Office of Student Life and the Sophomore Year Initiative (SYI) have teamed up to create new Pre-Major Clubs at Lehman including Pre-Law, Pre-Nursing, Pre-Business, and Psychology. The Pre-Major Clubs are open for all students, but are intended for freshmen and sophomores who are undeclared and are considering various majors to prepare for their major and/or field of interest. Club Membership includes a welcome event, a panel discussion to learn about relevant majors, a class trip, and various workshops with guest speakers. SYI is currently looking for full-time faculty members who may be interested in serving as an Advisor for a new pre-major club.

2004 represented a fairly heavy-duty year for me in regards to work as a professor and as part of a development team to create a new degree. After waiting many months (this was a hurry-up and wait situation) it was finally submitted to the Ministry for approval. Part of this approval process requires public comments and viewing. For those interested in more details you can see it here: http://peqab.edu.gov.on.ca/pdf/Senec...ecurityWeb.pdf (note: you'll need Acrobat and the document is LONG as well as BIG -- at 18.1 MB!)
As a bit of background for those not aware of how post-secondary education works and for clarification:
In Ontario there are really two streams of education: university-level (degrees) and community colleges (diplomas of 2 or 3 years). Generally universities teach theory while the colleges deal with hands-on and coop programs. Additionally, the admission into college is a little more open and a bit more cheaper than universities. The idea was to ensure that post-secondary education wasn't limited to the rich few. The colleges also tend to deal with real world training and have one of the best ROIs of post-secondary education. Students are more likely to be hired in their field than not and will pay back loans.
Problem is that universities are getting the most attention in regards to the workplace (perception is that someone with a university degree knows more than someone with a diploma). And the colleges are not getting funding (colleges in Ontario are not allowed to go for private funding, thus it comes from the Government and that funding hasn't changed in about 15 years).
So in an attempt to alleviate this the Ministry decided to allow the colleges to offer "Applied Degrees". These degrees would combine the necessary theory with the pratical hands on teaching that is often found in the colleges. Plus, the colleges were required to teach what isn't be taught elsewhere in the province thus making them a desirable venue to go. And thus was born the idea of the degree above.
I had proposed it initially about 2 years prior. While I wasn't the first, I believe I was able to put things into a more concise view and a more realistic view. Previous attempts were for heavy programming (don't get me wrong -- it has it's place but with the vastness of computers sometimes it's necessary to take a little more of a narrower view). The view that security is solely made of programming is an incorrect view in my opinion and that was the premise of this degree.
Networking is an important part of what goes on in the Internet and in business. Further to that, is the need to have good procedures in place and an understanding of ethics and law. In my research about existing degrees I couldn't find anything that match it. In fact, what I did find -- rather depressingly -- was that many post-secondary institutions viewed security from two points of view: cryptography and auditing. This isn't bad but it's rather narrow, IMO.
Anyways, I post it here because I know there were a few interested in the degree. As an aside, when we developed the courses, I led with 10 of the 40 courses needed to be developed (those, of course, made up the security core courses and the direction/order they should be in).
And yes, I'm rather proud of the work that was put into this (I certainly wasn't alone in this team effort).
If you have questions, ask away.
Oh.. and I've affectionately called this the "Hallowe'en" degree (BAT'iS).

MidAmerican Energy Company reminds customers of the importance of keeping electric and natural gas meters and pressure regulators free of snow and ice.
MidAmerican Energy Company reminds customers of the importance of keeping electric and natural gas meters and pressure regulators free of snow and ice.
Accumulations of snow and ice can interrupt your natural gas supply and create an unsafe operating condition. Take the following precautions to keep your gas supply operating safely and uninterrupted and provide accurate meter reading and billing.
Check all venting systems to the outside of your home, including furnace, dryer and water heater vents and chimney flues to ensure they are not blocked. If vents or flues become blocked, carbon monoxide may build to dangerous levels.
Customers should avoid plowing or piling snow against meters or gas regulators and vents.
Use a broom rather than a shovel to clear snow from your meter or gas regulator.
If your meter or gas regulator becomes encased in ice, do not try to melt or chip the ice. Call MidAmerican Energy for service at 888-427-5632.
In a safe manner from the ground, carefully remove icicles on the section of your roof or gutter that overhangs the meter. Water dripping on meters or gas regulators can freeze and cover the equipment with ice.
For customers whose meters have not been upgraded to automated meter reading, clear a path to your meters. A clear path to the meter will help MidAmerican Energy meter readers stay safe and prevent estimated reads and inaccurate bills.
MidAmerican Energy Company, Iowa's largest energy company, provides electric service to 732,000 customers and natural gas service to 714,000 customers in Iowa, Illinois, Nebraska and South Dakota. It is headquartered in Des Moines, Iowa. Information about MidAmerican Energy is available on the company's website and its Twitter, Facebook and YouTube pages, which can be accessed via www.midamericanenergy.com.

We were playing this game today and I decided we should have it over the weekend for those people not allowed on the internet at work (Like I Used To Be LOL!)
Here's a link to the previous game:
Megan came up with this game awhile back. Find several random things in the store and link them in your post (just use the "choose products mentioned" thing you see when typing your response to thread to link them - way easier than when we used to play it).
You can find items by
Find By Color
Holidays or Themes
By Brand
just the regular old what's new section where I tend to start my day:
What's New Section
Things that go together. Preferably not all from the same manufacturer - let's challenge each other mix things up.
Enter as many times as you like (do a new post to this thread for each of one of your "things that go togethers") and I'll draw names of three winners from a hat around 9am Mesa Arizona time on Monday.
Sound fun? I'll play too, but won't draw my name. Promise LOL!

Harvard Wants to Know: How Does the Act of Making Shape Kids' Brains?
A group of Harvard researchers is teaming up with schools in Oakland, Calif. to explore how kids learn through making. Through an initiative called Project Zero, they're investigating the theory that kids learn best when they're actively engaged in designing and creating projects to explore concepts. It's closely aligned with the idea of design thinking and the Maker Movement that's quickly taking shape in progressive education circles.
Though it's still in very early stages -- just launched at the beginning of this school year -- researchers and educators at the school want to know how kids learn by tinkering – fooling around with something until one understands how it works. They want to know what happens cognitively – how this learning process helps form habits of mind, builds character and how it affects the individual.
To do that, they are working with both private and public schools in Oakland, headed by the Harvard researchers and 15 participating teachers who meet in study groups every six weeks to share ideas and to form a community.
Sponsored By
Harvard will give teachers specific activities to incorporate into the lessons they already plan to teach. Educators will report back to the researchers on how the class behaved and what they noticed about their students through surveys and conversations. "Schools have been really open to this," said Jennifer Ryan, the Project Zero coordinator. "It's not a lesson plan; it's not a curriculum; it's a way to look at the world."
The most recent activity required students to spend time examining an object – first looking at all its parts individually, then examining what each part does and how that fits within the whole, and ultimately identifying the complexities of the object. An elementary school teacher did this activity with physical objects in the classroom, like tennis shoes. At Oakland International High School, the technology teacher had students examine a Google Doc. Some teachers took the exercise a step further and had students re-purpose the object by redesigning it to be something else.
"In my experience with the kids, it allows them to more quickly gain a deeper understanding of what makes up that object and its purposes and its complexities," said Ilya Pratt, Director of the DesignME program at Park Day School, an independent elementary and middle school. Pratt hopes that by designing things from an early age, kids will be able to explain concepts they've learned spatially. "As kids try to express their understanding in three dimensions it adds so much more to how they engage with a concept and wrap their mind around it," she said.
Project Zero is also asking teachers to look at student work differently. Rather than judging it based on the criteria they have in mind at the outset of the lesson, teachers are encouraged to take more time examining the work and the mind that created it before coming to a judgment. Project Zero has given teachers thinking routines to go through in order to practice a different way of seeing student work.
Sponsored By
For the researchers the collaboration is about understanding theoretical questions around how children learn and what's going on in the brain when they create, but it's also about what happens on the ground, in classrooms. That's unusual for them.
"You get to see it in action and things happen that maybe you didn't expect, or that are very provocative and it allows you to change directions in ways you might not have otherwise," Pratt said. She's excited about the iterative approach and hopes that by the end of the three-year project they will not only have produced academic research in how design thinking affects education, but they will also know what works and what doesn't in the classroom.

Cut something else than recreation department
Cut something else than recreation department
To the editor,
The Adrian City Commission is voting on dropping the city's recreation department.
Bohn Pool, T-ball, baseball, softball, daddy/daughter dances, mom/son dances, skate park, just to mention a few of the activities the recreation department has to offer.
Our recreation department services 31,320 adults and OUR children per year. If these services are no longer available to our families, what will our children be doing? Are we willing to lose the recreation department of Adrian, when there is so much emphasis on child and adult obesity?
A meeting is scheduled for Monday, February 18th, at 7 p.m. at the Adrian City Chambers at the corner of Broad Street and Maumee Street. IF you value the services that the city of Adrian offers, PLEASE come and voice YOUR opinion! Can not the city commission CUT elsewhere?

Markham In Motion
A Pathway to Physical Literacy
The City of Markham is one of a select number of communities across the province awarded the Ontario Sport and Recreation Community Fund and RBC Learn to Play grants to GET ACTIVE, help reduce childhood obesity and help our youth lead healthier lifestyles. Through the Markham in Motion program, the City will enhance existing sports and recreation programs, help develop new ones and promote the development of physical literacy in children and youth.
What is Physical Literacy?
Physical literacy comes from developing a wide range of fundamental movement skills such as hopping, skipping, throwing, catching and jumping! Developing these skills at a young age helps children gain confidence and motivates them to lead healthier active lives as they grow up.
Image courtesy of the Aspen Institute's Project Play.
Get Started!
Give your child the best start in school, sport and life with City of Markham Recreation programs. Our programs have been designed to be an integral part of an active life; and they deliver a quality physical literacy experience. We provide high-quality learning environments on land, in water and on ice that offer encouragement, lots of opportunity to play and practice – and most importantly FUN!
Look for the symbol in the programming section of Markham Life magazine for programs that develop fundamental movement skills and promote physical literacy.
Additional Resources

More ACTA Leaks; Reveal Different Positions Taken By Different Countries
from the it's-all-coming-out-in-the-sunlight dept
Michael Geist has a list of some other interesting tidbits, and Jamie Love has worries about how the damages section 2.2 is much stricter than existing laws, and seems to conflict with existing US laws (but ACTA can't change US law, right? Right?). Love also notes the oddity of the EU crossing out language (inserted by the US, mind you) that would protect "fair use, fair, dealing, or their equivalents."
All in all, documents like these show why these discussions need to be public. Very very minor word choices can have a major impact. And hiding all of that behind closed doors is a huge problem.

Lipscomb University women's basketball coach Frank Bennett has announced the signing of post player Rachel Viehmann.
Viehmann, 6-foot-4, plays for St. Charles West High School in St. Charles, Mo.
"Not only does she have amazing talent, but her team spirit, her enthusiasm and her dedication are beyond compare," said St. Charles West coach Ellen Parker. "She has a heart of gold, and is true leader both on and off of the court. She sets a great example for the younger players coming through our program."
Viehmann, the varsity team captain for two seasons, led her team last year as a junior with per game averages of 11.4 points, 8.4 rebounds and 5.4 blocks.
In basketball she broke the school single season record for blocks with 136. She also has 228 career blocks, also a school record, in only two seasons.
"Rachel is a solid center," Bennett said. "She is a good shot blocker, and also has a good shooting touch. She is continuing to develop as a player, and has a great upside.
A versatile athlete, Viehmann has lettered in basketball, volleyball, track and swimming.
Bennett ranks Viehmann as a perfect fit for Lipscomb. Parker agrees.
"We will definitely miss her next year, but I know she is in good hands," Parker said. "When Rachel first told me she was considering Lipscomb University, I knew that was where she would end up. Her eyes lit up as she talked about her visit, and she said she knew Lipscomb was the perfect fit for her from the moment she stepped on campus.
"For the past four years she I have seen her develop into an outstanding basketball player and confident young lady. I know she will be able to continue that positive growth and development at Lipscomb University."

RELIGION: Faith Lutheran to host retreat
BROADWAY BAPTIST CHURCHDaniel wrote in Daniel 9:3 –"I set my face toward the Lord, to seek by prayer and supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes." So often our prayers are casual prayers, prayers that come with almost a take-it-or-leave-it attitude. Many of us could not even remember what we prayed for this morning or last night. We rattle off a little, "Now I lay me down to sleep" or "Lord bless this food and this place" prayer. The truth is, more often than not we're flabby, undisciplined and exhibit no determination, when it comes to our prayer life. We are redundant, repetitive and our prayers get no higher than the ceiling. God tells us, "...The effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much." God does want to hear and answer our prayers, but according to Isaiah 59 He cannot, because of "sin and iniquity" in our hearts. How is your prayer life? Do you pray from the heart? Do you pray fervently? Do you pray seeking God's will? God does say, "Call unto me and I will answer thee." Let me encourage you to pray daily, humbly and fervently and God will hear and answer your prayers.This week our church has enjoyed our annual Missions Conference. We have enjoyed the preaching of Evangelist Monte Martin and have heard and enjoyed the testimonies of Elmo Compton, missionary to Peru and Janice Hickey, missionary to Ecuador. This Sunday will be the last day of the conference. Come out and enjoy some great preaching and testimonies. If you don't have a church home, we would like to welcome you to come and visit us this Sunday. Our Life Groups, which is for all ages, starts at 10 a.m. Our morning service is at 10:50 a.m. and our evening service begins at 6 p.m. Come and let us be a blessing to you as we worship the Lord together.EMMANUEL FELLOWSHIP CHURCHWe invite you to join us this Sunday at Emmanuel Fellowship Church! Our Sunday morning services are at 9 a.m. and 11 a.m. Both morning services are filled with the same warm fellowship, dynamic worship and life-giving messages, as well as top-notch children's ministry and nursery care for children up to fifth grade.January is a good month for new life! This Sunday, Pastor Eric will continue a New Year series entitled "Bringing Faith to Life!" Come listen to this week's message as we receive a fresh word on how to see resurrection occur in every area of our faith! We will also be celebrating with many from our church family this month as they follow the Lord Jesus in baptism, so don't miss this special time."Worldchangers," EFC's Wednesday evening children's ministry is in full-swing, with children ages birth through fifth grade exploring what living life with Jesus really looks like! They meet Wednesday evenings from 6:45-8:30 p.m. The Salvage Yard youth ministry, for grades 6-12, meets Wednesdays at 6:45 p.m. for their worship service and again on Sunday evenings at 6 p.m. for small group discipleship.Lifegroups for adults meet Monday evenings (young adults group), Tuesday evenings (Celebrate Recovery) and Wednesday evenings (family groups and women's group) at 7 p.m. For more information on how to connect with a small group, check out the Lifegroups display in the church foyer, or log online to www.efcsweetwater.com.Events on the radar include baby dedications in both services next Sunday, Feb. 3, and a membership class on Sunday, Feb. 10, from 4-6 p.m. If you would like more information on either event, please call the church offices at 236-9200.

Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen Will Play Professor X and Magneto Once Again for Bryan Singer
Once it was revealed that the sequel to X-Men: First Class would be an adaptation of the very popular story arc in the comics called X-Men: Days of Future Past, people immediately began speculating about how much this new, prequel franchise would integrate with the first X-Men trilogy. The comic's story involves two different timelines merging, which certainly opens up the possibility of characters and actors from Bryan Singer's films once again reprising their roles. And lo and behold, that's exactly what's happening.
Singer, who recently took over directing the project from First Class director Matthew Vaughn, confirmed today on Twitter that Patrick Stewart and Ian McKellen were joining Days of Future Past as Professor X and Magneto. He also confirmed that James McAvoy, Michael Fassbender, Jennifer Lawrence and Nicholas Hoult would be returning as well, which is pretty damned awesome news, if you ask us.
Of course this early on we don't know how much of the film will take place in the McAvoy/Fassbender past and the Stewart/McKellen future, but if the director of the film is comfortable announcing the veteran actors now, it's safe to say they're not just going to be cute little cameos. And all this timeline blending will surely also serve as a clever way to address some of the continuity issues that our own John Gholson pointed out when First Class released.
So what say you, X-Men fans? Are you excited to see the new and old school on the big screen together? Who else from Singer's X-Men films do you hope shows up here?

Officials from the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation hoped the flood, which reached a maximum of 42,300 cubic feet of water per second, would rebuild sandbars, beaches and backwaters along the river. They said in a news release that it would enhance the aquatic food base, protect archaeological sites, and create new camping sites in the canyon.
Paul Grams, a research hydrologist with the Grand Canyon Monitoring Research Center, said some sediment moved downstream as hoped and some new beaches were built.
The center, part of the U.S Geologic Survey, is the science provider for the Glen Canyon Dam Adaptive Management Program. It released its analysis of the November flood last week.
Meanwhile, a news release from Moab-based Living Rivers and Colorado Riverkeeper, indicates the project showed little benefit.
Only 55 percent of the target beaches were improved while 36 percent stayed the same and 9 percent were degraded, according to the news release.
Grams acknowledged during an interview that those numbers are correct. He added that more sandbars were built during a 2008 flood than during the recent one.
The environmental groups also assert that only 25 percent of the sediment that scientists hoped to mobilize and distribute downriver actually moved. Grams said "a large part but not all of it went downstream," and declined to characterize the flood as success or failure.
John Weisheit, director of Moab-based Living Rivers, said the results were not surprising.
"[Interior Secretary] Ken Salazar claimed that this was going to be 'a milestone in the history of the Colorado River,' but like the three previous experiments in 1996, 2004 and 2008, it too has shown that, at best, some beaches are temporarily improved, but the long-term prognosis for the Grand Canyon is a system without sediment," Weisheit said.
He added that 95 percent of sediment inflows to the Grand Canyon National Park's river corridor since 1963 have been trapped behind Glen Canyon Dam. Weisheit said that has damaged habitat conditions for the river's native fish – leading to the extinction of the Colorado pikeminnow, razorback sucker, bonytail chub and roundtail chub, and the endangerment of the humpback chub.
"Far too much public time and money is wasted on preparing for, publicizing, executing and monitoring these useless floods that do nothing but perpetuate a science welfare program masquerading as an endangered species recovery effort," Weisheit said.
The only two solutions to the Grand Canyon's sediment deficit, he said, are transporting sediment around Glen Canyon Dam or decommissioning the structure.
The Bureau of Reclamation's news release in November quoted Salazar as saying the water release would show "that the goals of water storage, delivery and hydropower production are compatible with improving and protecting the resources of the Colorado River."
Bureau of Reclamation spokeswoman Lisa Iams told The Times-Independent prior to the flush that new long-term plans for managing the river allow for twice-annual high-flow events.
George Went, president and CEO of OARS Outdoor Adventure River Specialists, applauded the Department of Interior's project just before the five-day water release began. He said in a news release the move would "improve the canyon experience for boaters supporting a $26 billion recreation economy that depends on the Colorado River."

Second Marriage and Nothing to Show For It: Should You Register For Gifts for your Second Wedding?
A husband- and wife-to-be contemplate a bridal registry for their second marriages
(page 1 of 2)
Sometimes things become tricky when you remarry. Current etiquette speaks against re-registering for gifts. But when you own nothing from your first marriage, what should you do?
Dear Wedding Guru: "My fiancé and I are going to be married each for the second time. Both of us ended up with nothing out of our first marriages: He gave everything to her, and I had to sell most of my stuff. I'm living with my parents, so I still haven't acquired anything. We'd like a small wedding (inviting just our families), but have a big reception for family and friends. Since we}re both starting over, is it appropriate to register for gifts for the reception? I'm not having a bridal shower or anything like that, but to be honest, it'd help to get gifts since we're starting out with nothing!"

[[:John Howe - Gothmog .jpg|thumb|''Gothmog'' by [[John Howe]]]]
Revision as of 13:33, 10 June 2012
This article needs to be rewritten to comply with Tolkien Gateway's higher standards...
|By Ardamir. (Help; more articles)
Gothmog was a lieutenant of Minas Morgul, second-in-command to the Witch-king of Angmar, lord of the Nazgûl, at the Battle of the Pelennor Fields, at which he commanded the forces of Morgul after the Lord of the Nazgûl was slain by Éowyn.[1]
The information given above is the only reference in The Lord of the Rings to Gothmog, and his fate is not recorded, although it is strongly implied that he and almost all of the servants of Sauron that fought before the gates of Minas Tirith were destroyed.
Almost nothing is known of Gothmog, not even what being he was. Tolkien scholars speculate that he might have been one of the following:
- An Orc, however his name appears to be Sindarin (look below), something impossible for Orcs.
- A Man, in which case he was probably a Black Númenórean like the Mouth of Sauron
- One of the Nazgûl, but since Tolkien never specifically mentions the name when the Nazgûl had significant roles earlier, and never refers to Gothmog as a Ringwraith (something that would be of prime importance to the story), it is less probable. The possibility, however, is still a valid one.
- It is also possible that he was in fact a Boldog, a fallen Maia in Orc form.
Gothmog shared his name with a much earlier character, Gothmog, lord of Balrogs.[2] The original Gothmog was clearly a different character than the Gothmog of The Lord of the Rings despite having shared the same name. It would seem that the Gothmog of the Third Age had taken, or been given, the name in memory of Morgoth's captain; an interesting choice, since Sauron and the Lord of Balrogs were presumably rivals for Morgoth's favor during the Elder Days.[source?]
Portrayal in Adaptations
1982-97: Middle-earth Role Playing:
- Gothmog is a half-troll, a crossbreed of trolls and Variags.[3]
2003: The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King:
- Gothmog is portrayed as an Orc-general with a misshapen face. He is played by Lawrence Makoare, and his voice is provided by Craig Parker. Peter Jackson wanted to show a hideously deformed orc, one that would aptly convey the "ugliness" of Mordor. The upper left side of Gothmog's body is swollen and pock-marked from a disease of some sort, as described by the design department. His pale, yellow skin may also be a consequence of this illness. Gothmog's intelligence is far above that of the common orc and he, understandably, would be the perfect link between the Witch-King and the other planners of the siege of Minas Tirith (most likely men in Sauron's service) and the mindless mass of orc infantry on the front lines. While Gothmog likely did not have the intelligence to design the attack on the White City he certainly would have been able to ensure orders were carried out. Gothmog is clearly a brutal commander, but also an over-confident one. Peter Jackson comments that Gothmog feels powerful with Mordor's massive army behind him, but in reality is a crippled orc, as seen in his failed dismount from a Warg in the Extended edition. Gothmog does, however, seem to be a capable warrior, though somewhat inhibited by his crippled left side.
- In the midst of the chaos, Gothmog is forced into hand-to-hand combat. He sees a pocket of particularly stiff resistance, primarily from Théoden and Éowyn, and decides to fight Éowyn. She is a more skilled fighter than he, however, and soon injures him on his crippled left leg, rendering him essentially unable to walk and useless to Mordor's army as a whole. After Éowyn has killed the Witch-King, in an act of revenge, Gothmog attempts to kill her with a mace he finds nearby. He was, however, killed just in time by Aragorn and Gimli. As he was about to strike, Aragorn cut off his armored right arm, but Gothmog persists and Gimli hit him in the abdomen with his axe. Aragorn then cut through Gothmog's armor on the right side with his sword to finally bring the Orc down.
