Omegle - My first conversation with a "Christian".
Omegle - My first conversation with a "Christian".
This was painful...
I guess he just got tired of talking...
You're now chatting with a random stranger. Say hi!
You and the stranger both like religion.
You: Hey
Stranger: hey
You: Are you religious?
Stranger: depends how you would define it i guess
You: Well, do you claim a religion, are you a deist, an agnostic, atheist?
Stranger: I would classify myself as a Christian i guess.
Stranger: But no real sect.
You: Oh ok. So, you don't claim a denomination?
Stranger: correct
You: What would say is the closest denomination to you?
Stranger: That's impossible for me to say. I would probaly align closest with catholics or protostants because I do not consider myself to be an evangelical.
You: Catholics and Protestants are almost completely opposite and evangelicals are Protestants.
Stranger: some protestants do not consider themselves evangelicals.
Stranger: And I disagree that they are complete opposites.
Stranger: Only real differences are Mary, the Pope and a few other small things.
You: Anything that isn't Anglican and Catholic is Protestant.
You: Catholics are more ritualistic, but I can see where you're coming from.
You: Do you believe in the Doctrine of Free Will or the Doctrine of Election?
Stranger: What is the doctrine of election?
You: Predestination
Stranger: Not really sure.
You: God chooses people for salvation
Stranger: I don't study theology so i'm not really qualified to study the bible at that level.
You: I understand.
You: How do you study? Do you read and let God speak to you?
Stranger: I don't really study at all.
You: Now, I'm curious.
You: Why do you claim Christianity?
Stranger: well, I have heard numerous historians make the case that Christ existed, and the resurrection did indeed take place.
You: Many historians have also claimed the opposite.
You: But
Stranger: I haven't heard many provide evidence to the contrary.
You: What I want to know is why you claim to be a Christian... is it because that's what you were taught? A decision you made? If you don't study the Bible, how do you know what God wants.
You: There is a whole load of it... I don't believe it, and it's sketchy, but it is there.
Stranger: I have no idea what god wants
Stranger: never claimed to know.
Stranger: I could read the bible, but it would do no good.
You: Are you just a Christian by default then? Have you ever wondered why you're a Christian?
Stranger: I'm a chrisitan because i believe Christ was the son of god.
You: Don't you think it's important to read the Bible?
Stranger: I have no idea.
Stranger: however
Stranger: I think it's counter productive to read it unless you have a deep background in theology
Stranger: which most people don't have.
You: Okay, fair enough, but why do you believe Christ is the Son of God?
Stranger: including myself.
Stranger: i already stated it for you.
You: I don't agree with you on that point.
Stranger: nobody is making you.
You: I know. But simply because Christ existed isn't evidence enough that He's the Son of God.
Stranger: I didn't say it was
Stranger: That with the resurrection is, in my opinion.
You: Historians do not say that the resurrection happened. They do say that Christ existed. Many historians are irreligious; therefore, do not believe in the supernatural. The only historians that you will find that say Christ's resurrection happened are the Christian ones.
You: His resurrection isn't secular fact. This is a reason that you said you were a Christian.
Stranger: well you tell me your reasons then.
You: God changed me without my permission. He changed me supernaturally, and the only evidence I can present to that is anecdotal. I have no formal theological training, but that didn't stop me from studying. I now consider myself an amateur scholar in theology... simply because I let God teach me and I learned on my own. Reading and studying the Bible was a huge part in my understanding of Christianity and my relationship with God.
You: So... faith.
Stranger: How did god teach you exactly?
You: I would read something and have no idea what it was saying. I would pray on it and ask God to reveal whatever He wants to reveal to me. I would then also research the theology and read what other theologians said. From the information, the Holy Spirit reveal what I'm supposed to take away from the texts.
Stranger: So, therefore everyone else who reads the bible and prays will have the same outlook as you do then correct?
You: No. A lot is situational. Like Proverbs. There are also many different interpretations of Biblical texts... however, the deeper the understanding of the history and language of the Bible, the more unified the conclusions are. Many outlooks are based on primary or superficial analyses, which isn't wholly wrong, the gist is there, but the interpretation can change.
Stranger: ?
You: God seems to reveal a more unified conclusion to those that study.
Stranger: So you have no opinion on free will?
You: I do. I think that God controls and has pre-planned ever bit of minutia from the beginning to the end. He wouldn't be omnipotent and omniscient if He didn't.
You: I don't believe in free will.
Stranger: So i guess by your belief system, you think that the majority of people burn in hell for eternity and can't even do anything to help it?
You: Yeah
Stranger: wow
You: Romans 9 blatantly says it.
Stranger: the bible says many things
Stranger: including things that contradict
Stranger: Just because Romans 9 says it, does not necissarilly mean anything.
Stranger: what about when the bible condones slavery?
You: 2Thess says it
You: John says it
You: Paul says it all the time
You: Jesus says it
You: the entire OT says it
Stranger: But what about slavery?
You: Slavery isn't a theological problem. That was a cultural issue that the Bible directs the people of the time on how to handle it.
Stranger: I beleive it states something like if a slave owner strikes a slave and the slave does not perrish that day, nothing should be done.
Stranger: However
Stranger: if the slave were to die tomorrow, that's okay.
You: Yeah, it does. Again, that was addressing a cultural issue. Morality isn't standard and changes from society to society.
You: That isn't a theoligical issue.
You: Whether God predestines or not is theological.
Stranger: What about a person who dies, who has never heard the name Jesus before?
You: The Bible says that God will be revealed to them if they are elect.
Stranger: elect?
You: Chosen for salvation.
You: Eph 1:4-5
Stranger: So i guess nobody should give a fuck about anything then.
You: God gives us our desires. We care about what He wants us to care about to further His purpose.
You: No caring about something wouldn't be a choice.
Stranger: sounds a little bit off the wall
You: It's what the Bible teaches.
Stranger: How do you know what the bible teaches is what god teaches?
You: I can't know that for sure. The only way I trust the Bible is through faith... but, if you can't trust the Bible and don't believe it, why bother to be a Christian? If you just want to believe in a supreme being then that's deism.
Stranger: I disagree, the bible was not written by god. So when you have faith in the bible, what is it you have faith on exactly?
Stranger: That a bunch of guys didn't completely screw it up?
You: No, my faith is that God controlled what was placed in the Bible for our instruction. Remember, I believe everything was controlled by God, and man couldn't do anything that counteracted God's plan because God had already planned for it that way.
Stranger: So who is to say God didn't make the whole thing up then?
Stranger: He could have, right?
Stranger: Just for amusement.
You: That's possible.
You: Won't deny that.
You: It's out of character for the Christian God; however, if the Christian God is really some other "God", then yeah, we've been fooled.
Stranger: Out of character by what's in the bible...
You: That's my point.
Stranger: that does not make it out of character necessarilly
You: Yep. That's what I was saying.
Stranger: So as far as you know, it's all a bunch of bullshit then right?
You: I don't know anything. If I knew, then I wouldn't have to believe. I have faith in the God of the Bible, and I live my life as if it's true, but since I'm not omniscient, I can't claim to "know".
You: My faith is no, it's not all BS.
Stranger: I can't say that you have made a whole lot of sence during this convo
You: What are you confused about?
Stranger: Your faith seems to be completely blind.
You: Faith is completely blind
You: That's why it's faith.
Stranger: there's a difference between faith and blind faith.
You: Knowledge null and voids faith.
You: Blind faith is not knowing why you believe in something, as you said to me. Faith is having a reason, which I have, which I explained.
Stranger: I have reasons based on historical fact...
Stranger: Because you chose to disagree with historical fact does not make it blind.
You: Your reason is that Christ was a real man. His resurrection isn't historical fact.
Stranger: His resurrection is more of an historical fact than anything else of that time
You: The only historical reference of the resurrection is the Bible, which you more or less think isn't wholly factual. So yes, your faith is blind.
Stranger: The bible is not the only reference.
Stranger: There were writers (some very well known) who claimed they witnessed the resurrection.
Stranger: This has nothing to do with the bible.
You: And they were Christians and influenced by the Bible. There are no written documents that come within 4 decades of the resurrection that make a claim of a historical resurrection.
Stranger: That's incorrect. We have some as early as 30 years later.
Stranger: 62 A.D I believe.
You: Sorry... 10 years off.
You: Actually 5ish
You: Christ was born ~3BC
You: So, 35 years after the resurrection, after Christianity had gain a foothold, you give credence to a claim like this?
You: Historically speaking that is
Stranger: why not?
You: Why not?
Stranger: The bible didn't say anything about it for a few hundred years.
You: There are multitude of reason.
You: Someone wanting to seem pious.
You: Someone wanting to claim that they saw this God-man resurrect.
You: Someone just indulging in the local legends.
Stranger: People wrote it down before the New Testiment even existed.
Stranger: How long did it take for the New Testiment to get around to it?
You: About the same time, actually.
Stranger: couple hundred years at least...
Stranger: what?
Stranger: The New testiment didn't circulate until well after this.
Stranger: Generations later
You: No
You: Some of Paul's letters were written a decade before.
You: We're talking written not circulated.
Stranger: We have written letter from Paul during this time?

Well that was... interesting?
On the other hand it was quite disturbing also....
Been interested in that site, but I feel I'm not good enough to try a debate....

It's fascinating for someone who has kept a critical eye on Glenn Greenwald to see him playing in the big leagues and striking out so much. I do believe it's time for him to be sent back down to the minors.
Glenn Greenwald frequently attacks people who disagree with him, he can't help himself. He has a hair trigger on that gun of his and likes to shoot it off. (By the way, he is against gun control, in case you weren't aware.)
The most recent example of Glenn's penchant for lashing out happened on Twitter as he attacked Daniel Serwer of Johns Hopkins University and peacefare.net.
Well, that one little tweet from the "Rio Pundit" prompted quite a backlash from many different directions. One of the best came from Adam Serwer, Daniel Serwer's son, a writer for Mother Jones and a reporter for MSNBC.com.
Glenn Greenwald's knee-jerk attack on Daniel Serwer revealed exactly how GG rolls. I wrote a post recently, The Top 5 Exaggerations By Glenn Greenwald On NSA!, that looked at just a few of Glenn's exaggerations in his latest 15 minutes of fame. This one tweet from Glenn is both an exaggeration and an attack, combining two of his favorite tactics. And for those that say Glenn is "smart", please read that tweet one more time.
Daniel Serwer, the person that Glenn tried to dismiss by claiming Edward Snowden had "done far more for the world in the last two months than you have in your life", has actually spent most of his adult life working for peace. Charles Johnson at Little Green Footballs has Daniel's bio and gives his take on this incident. Here is a piece of the bio…
Daniel Serwer (Ph.D., Princeton) is a Professor of Conflict Management, as well as a Senior Fellow at the Center for Transatlantic Relations, at the Johns Hopkins School of Advanced International Studies. He is also a Scholar at the Middle East Institute.
Formerly Vice President for Centers of Peacebuilding Innovation at the United States Institute of Peace (2009-10), he led teams there working on rule of law, religion, economics, media, technology, security sector governance and gender. He was previously Vice President for Peace and Stability Operations at USIP, where he led its peacebuilding work in Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan and the Balkans and served as Executive Director of the Hamilton/Baker Iraq Study Group. Serwer has worked on preventing interethnic and sectarian conflict in Iraq and has facilitated dialogue between Serbs and Albanians in the Balkans.
I won't spend time pushing back against the Snowden claim, you can go read some of Bob Cesca's work here, here and here if you want to get up to speed on the issues surrounding the Edward Snowden leaks.
One of the main tactics Glenn Greenwald uses is to attack anyone who challenges him, with venom and over the top projections of all things evil onto his target. I've personally been called a few names by him, mostly because I support President Obama. He really dislikes people who support President Obama. Joy-Ann Reid wrote about this a while back.
Anyone who fails to loathe Obama as he does is an "Obama lover" (just chew on that, if you're African-American) or a "cultist." It isn't possible that Obama could do anything that isn't vile and insipid and worthy of continual, emphatic condemnation.
Since I've spent way too much time reading and writing about Glenn Greenwald, mostly because I despise his tactics, but in all candor, partly because he has such a profound hatred for President Obama, I thought I'd share some links I have gathered over the years. You can decide for yourself how you feel about Glenn, considering the following.
10 Examples of Glenn Greenwald Attacks
1. When the "don't touch my junk" guy emerged on the scene, Mark Ames and Yasha Levine wrote a piece questioning some issues surrounding that incident, Glenn Greenwald pounced on them. Go read this account by Mark Ames and Yasha Levine, it's quite remarkable.
2. Benjamin Wittes of Lawfare and a senior fellow at the Brookings Institution wrote a great piece explaining why he won't engage with Glenn Greenwald and the piece reveals a lot of what others have seen too. It is one of the reasons why I quit interacting with Glenn, I've blocked him on Twitter and try not to read any of his trolling drivel.
3. Glenn Greenwald set his aim at Wired Magazine when they published the chat logs of Bradley Manning, which got him busted. The targets of his attack on this time were Evan Hansen and Kevin Poulsen. (You may have to Google 'The Curious Case of Glenn Greenwald vs. Wired magazine' if you hit a paywall)
3. In this one, Glenn attacks Kurt Eichenwald and Joy-Ann Reid in an epic Twitter battle that is summarized here.
4. One of the worst attacks Glenn has made over the years, which he has never apologized for, involved joining in on attacking a friend of mine, Imani Gandy (Angry Black Lady). This one included tweeting about rape with one of his minions.
5. Ben Cohen at The Daily Banter (a most excellent site), wrote a great piece about Glenn attacking fellow journalists who supported the Iraq War…but of course, Glenn Greenwald told us in his own words how he supported President Bush in his invasion and slaughter of hundreds of thousands of Iraqi's. And of course, Glenn was also supporting President Bush when he rammed the Patriot Act through…you know, that law that started much of the surveillance that Glenn now rails against.
6. Jonathon Chait wrote a hilarious and revealing post titled "Glenn Greenwald is Ralph Nader", which prompted Glenn Greenwald to attack Paul Krugman…go read it, you'll see why. And here is a post detailing the attack on Paul Krugman, for making a reference to the NSA story.
7. You have to give Greenwald credit for taking on people who are way smarter than he is. Here is an exchange between Al Giordano and Glenn Greenwald that has a lot to do with the current NSA revelations, this is a must read if you want to be informed and entertained. I wish Al posted more often, he is amazing.
8. Chez Pazienza wrote a terrific piece called "The Daily Banter's Official Helpful Media Guide for Interacting With Glenn Greenwald" that is a must read for anyone thinking of saying anything that Glenn Greenwald disagrees with.
9. This little skirmish with Sam Harris is pretty interesting. Sam Harris likes to tell it like it is and Glenn got a little bit of push back from Sam.
10. The last one I'll throw in the mix is Greenwald's attack on David Gregory, which I have mixed feelings about. David Gregory asked a horrible question loaded with innuendo and completely blew the opportunity to ask a really good one and then hammer Glenn until he answered it. The question I would have asked is "did you have any contact with Edward Snowden before he took the job at Booz Allen?" A lot of people want to know the answer to that question. It seems to me that the protection a journalist has by saying that someone came to them with information kind of flies out the window IF that "journalist" had something to do with stealing the information. And please, any GG minions, spare me turning that last sentence into an accusation, the word "IF" should be your clue. The act of stealing the information and then publishing it are separate acts.
Bringing it back to the original Glenn Greenwald attack, I think Daniel Serwer's final tweet to Glenn Greenwald is pure perfection.

Geneva Across America is a transcontinental bicycle tour scheduled to take place during the summer of 2013. Riders will travel 3,816 miles from San Francisco, CA to Yorktown, VA from May 18 to July 27, 2013.
This event is sponsored by the Geneva College Office of Student Development for the purpose of raising $25,000 to establish additional scholarships for deserving students.
"There are so many reasons to be excited about this trip," says Dean of Student Development Dr. Michael Loomis. "Riding across America has been a 20-year dream of mine that was reignited by the interest of two current students, Marty Adams and Fiona Smith, following our first ride to Washington DC. With the support of the college, we hope to not only see America, but to spread the word about Geneva College and raise money for a new endowed scholarship to help future students realize their goal of Christian higher education."
There are many opportunities to get involved in Geneva Across America. To learn more about joining the riding team or supporting this endeavor in other ways, attend one of the information sessions, click here, or email Dr. Michael Loomis at firstname.lastname@example.com.

Updated: Jury rejects self-defense claim with its verdict in Wilton murder trialBy JAMES A. KIMBLE
Union Leader Correspondent
January 29. 2013 8:49PM
A jury found Benjamin Duling guilty of second-degree murder for fatally stabbing his partner, Shelly McGrade, at their home in Wilton nearly five years ago, rejecting claims that he acted in self defense.
Duling, 40, faces up to life in prison for stabbing McGrade in the neck and back while the two were in the kitchen of their home on the night of April 18, 2008.
The jury returned guilty verdicts on both counts of second-degree murder around 2 p.m. in Hillsborough County Superior Court. The jury of nine women and three men began deliberating on Monday afternoon, and were given the option to consider a manslaughter conviction. Throughout the trial, Duling kept his back to the court gallery, not even glancing up as prosecutors described him as a killer who tried to lie his way out of the brutal slaying, then accuse McGrade of attacking him.
Duling claimed he was only defending himself from an irate McGrade, who confronted him about having an affair with a male co-worker. The co-worker and Duling planned to leave on a trip to London the day after the murder. McGrade also worried that Duling and the man had an "unhealthy interest" in her 5-year-old son, according to prosecutors.
Jurors saw several graphic photos and videos of McGrade's body and the bloody crime scene. They heard testimony from state police investigators and the couple's neighbors.
Duling's 10-year-old son was called to testify as a defense witness, but Assistant Attorney General Michael Lewis cited the boy's statements he made to neighbors moments after the murder as a true eyewitness account of the killing.
"Daddy took a knife and stabbed Mommy, and there was blood everywhere," the boy told one neighbor, according to court testimony.
Judge Diane Nicolosi is expected to sentence Duling in mid-April.

Second arrest in theft of produce from community garden
January 10. 2014 11:23PM
CONCORD -- State police have charged a 27-year-old with stealing produce from a community garden project at New Hampshire Technical College in Concord.
Amanda Gosselin, 27, of Boscawen, faces one count of theft by unauthorized taking. Her arrest comes nearly four months after the theft.
Previously, police charged Francisco Sorrentino of Boscawen with two counts in connection with the thefts. At the time of his arrest, troopers alleged that Sorrentino filled buckets with produce and drove away.
In September 2013 Troopers from Troop D opened an investigation into the theft of produce from the Sycamore Community Garden Project located on the grounds of the New Hampshire Technical Community College in Concord.

I am doing some computer housekeeping and adding some CUMPSTON messages from my archives. Back in July 2010 I received a message from Steph Strangeer email@example.com re Nellie Reca Cumpston.
Her husband's grandmother is Nellie Cumpston b. Jan 12 1903 in Iowa died giving birth to Mark's father, Macel Resse Stager on August 1, 1940. Her father was Abraham Lincoln Cumpston. She asked if I had any information on them.
I have a full page on Abraham Lincoln CUMPSTON at http://www.cumpston.org.uk/#/abraham-lincoln-cumpston/4538968346 and you will see that there are 2 people with the same name mentioned there. You will see Nellie in the red box – so I was delighted to hear from Steph as I can now add to the facts about her. I shall now move her and all those in her family to a new page.
Does anyone know more about this family?

We can see some U.S. dollar strength at the start of this European morning coming back into the market, which has been expected based on the latest intraday price action. We were looking for a three-wave move down on USD/CHF with our members, and so far we can see that pair found a bottom nicely around 0.9190 from where we can see some encouraging upside reaction. Looks like we could be heading back to 0.9290, and possibly 0.9330 this week.

EUR/USD also is now reversing from our "do or die" level placed at 1.3400, but still need a channel break and impulsive structure (five waves down) from above 1.3400 to make sure we are going lower.
EURUSD 1h-Elliott Wave Analysis
For now we are sitting on our hands, no official trades, but we are watching USD/CHF, EUR/USD and AUD/USD very closely for possible U.S. dollar long set-ups. But at the moment, however, I think it's too soon for trades, it's still only Monday and also holiday in the U.K., so I believe it's better to wait on more price action and see it then if a U.S. dollar rally has already began or no, and then go with the flow.

Celebrating illustration, design, cartoon and comic art of the mid-20th century.
Thursday, January 26, 2006
From an earlier time
For those who enjoy illustration from a slightly earlier time, I stumbled upon a fantastic resource in this remote corner of the 'net: a site devoted to pulp author Ellis Parker Butler.
"Working from his home in Flushing (Queens) New York, Ellis Parker Butler was -- by every measure and by many times -- the most published author of the pulp fiction era."
Who knew? But what's of even more interest to us is that the author(s) of the site have generously included a cover gallery of magazines in which Mr. Butler had articles published.
From "Adventure" to "Youth's Companion", from 1893 to 2003 ( how'd he do that? ) there are 605 covers to peruse so be prepared to set aside a few minutes... this could take a while!

Leif, how do you keep finding all these marvelous sites??? It was bad enough when I was just visiting Today's Inspiration, but now every time I visit I end up boomarking another site. If I don't stop visiting your blog, I am going to lose my job, my home, my wife and my children. They are going to find my bleached bones in front of my computer.ReplyDelete

A man in his mid-thirties ponders leaving his adult responsibilities behind in favor of following his teenage dreams in this comedy-drama from France. Max (Mathieu Demy) is a successful surgeon working at one of the best hospitals in Paris. However, when he was nineteen, Max played guitar in a rock n roll band, and for all his accomplishments hes never been able to beat the excitement of cranking up his amp in front of an audience. When Max is offered a promotion at the hospital to chief of thoracic surgery, he decides its not what he wants and quits in order to put his old band back together. Max wants to keep his new career a secret from his wife Anna (Romane Bohringer), at least for a while, so his best friend Praline (Julie Depardieu) and his closest colleague Jojo (Mathias Mlekuz) are sworn to secrecy as Max starts rehearsing in Pralines basement. While Max is able to convince his old band mates Apache (Warren Zavatta) and Felipe (Fabio Zenoni) to get on board, the group needs a new lead singer, and they recruit Chine (Eleonore Pourriat), a gal with a big voice and attitude to match. Max and company have been breaking in a set of new material when Anna learns her husband has quit medicine to play rock and roll, and while she decides to support his new ambitions, thats not to say she thinks this is a good idea.~ Mark Deming, All Movie Guide

I've only found volume 2 so far (and that was in Germany in Cologne) - this one includes 2 14-track albums "Man About Ska Town" and "Ska-Lutations From King Edwards". The re-mastering isn't brilliant, but since I'm not into the nth. degree of sound quality, it's OK. Tracks are (with "dodgy" years):
I was just doing some searches and came across a copy of Volume 1 on Amazon for sale at just £5.99. As I've got a couple of the albums I would rather get the others on vinyl as well. If you're interested in the CD here is a link;

Students debate privacy, access to social media in Constitution Day essaysBy Staff
November 12. 2012 9:31PM
CONCORD - Writing that Constitutional protections against unwarranted searches should be extended to private employers, Reid Zuckerman, a senior at John Stark Regional High School in Weare, won the New Hampshire Constitution Day Essay Contest in the high school category.
Benjamin Swain of Nashua's Fairgrounds Middle School won the middle school category.
Zuckerman, who was sponsored by the New Hampshire Union Leader, and Swain will be honored at a reception on Nov. 20 at the state Supreme Court, along with 14 statewide finalists sponsored by nine newspapers.
In 2004, Congress declared that "Constitution Day" should be observed in schools each year on Sept. 17 with programs about the history of the Constitution. The New Hampshire contest, for middle and high school students, is held as part of the Constitution Day observance. More than 500 students submitted essays this year, according to a release from the New Hampshire Supreme Court, which chose the statewide winners.
Students were asked to write about whether they believe the Constitution bans potential employers or school officials from requiring job seekers or students to provide passwords to their social media accounts, such as Facebook or Twitter.
In his essay submitted to the Union Leader, Zuckerman, of Henniker, wrote that there are different standards for employers and school officials. Employers, he wrote, are not government officials, so are not banned from requiring passwords. He thinks they should be.
"Years ago, no one would have allowed an employer to demand that a potential employee hand over letters he had received and sent," Reid wrote. "The same principle should apply to social media today."
Zuckerman said he believes the Constitution does allow school officials to demand social media information if a student is using it in a way that endangers the learning environment.
Swain, who submitted his essay to The Telegraph in Nashua, wrote that based on his research, information posted on social media sites and access to passwords by schools or employers are not private.
"The U.S. Constitution does not protect students from their schools, or employees from their employers, when it comes to accessing social media accounts," he wrote. But, he said, schools and employers could violate social media site terms or federal law, depending on how they use the password of a student or job seeker, or certain information they might uncover, such as race, religion and age.
He suggested privacy laws be updated to keep pace with technology and public opinion. "State and federal government need to recognize changes are needed in order to protect the rights of each citizen," he wrote.

Mayor moves to stop water fluoridation
Mayor moves to stop water fluoridation
The Hampton City Council in northern Iowa has decided to continue adding fluoride to the city's water.
Last month Mayor Shawn Dietz raised the idea, saying the city's adding such medicine infringed on the individual rights of residents.
But the Mason City Globe Gazette reports that at Monday night's council workshop Dietz said council members had talked to residents and concluded that a majority wanted fluoridation to continue.
The city began adding fluoride in 1975. In 1999 that stopped because of the natural amount of fluoride found in the water. But in 2006 the city resumed adding fluoride to the supply.
Local dentists say they noticed an increase in their patients' tooth decay when it wasn't being added.

Words That Inspire: You Have My Permission to Wear a Hoodie Every Day
Editor's note: When Rasha Hamid heard about the death of Trayvon Martin, she thought immediately of her own son, Jibreel, and wrote him this poem. She provides this context:
I am a teacher, currently living and teaching in Khartoum, Sudan. Before coming to Sudan two and a half years ago, I taught in East Harlem and Hamilton Heights, New York City for 12 years. Through my teaching, I hope to make the world a better, safer, more equitable place. To this end, I have many conversations with my students about fairness, equality, justice and activism in its many forms.
I wrote this poem after having conversations with my ten-year-old son, Jibreel, about Trayvon Martin and realizing it was time for me to talk to him about racial profiling. He has, of course, experienced racial profiling, but I hadn't yet felt compelled to talk to him about it in such explicit terms.
I remember
when you wrapped
a brass paper fastener
around your chubby finger
Look, Mommy,
You said
I'm the Brown Human!
I'm a superhero!
And yesterday
After we read about Trayvon
You said,
It must be scary
for a 17 year old
to have a man with a gun
following him
people listening all around
while he screamed
for help
no one
helped him
if I was standing
behind the guy
with the gun
I would go up
and take the gun from him
like I come down from handstands
You know?
and I think,
Stay a superhero
You will need all of your
To stay alive
when you walk
down the street
No one will know
that you know
if you add
28 and 82
you get 110
and if you add 110 and 011
which is like 11
you get 121
and that's a palindrome
And you know
that if you add 1 brown boy
wearing 1 hoodie
and 1 crazy man
and 1 gun
and 1 bullet
in certain places
you get
this terrible feeling
of sorrow
and bubbling of fear
that pushes tears
from your eyes
When you walk down the street
No one will know
you carry a map of the world in your head
and the blood of three continents
in your veins
that at ten,
you plan out where you will live
when you grow up
by where you might not get
racially profiled
If everyone is brown,
then they won't think
brown people are bad
When I am afraid,
I want to say,
after pressing my lips
against the diminishing roundness
of your soft brown cheek,
Stay safe.
Keep your hands out of your pockets,
my love,
Don't travel with
3 Musketeers bars
or Skittles
or cans of iced tea
Don't wear hoodies
nor carry
a wallet
Nor drive a car
Nor walk down the street
While wearing
your brownness
Someone may feel threatened
Shuffle, my son,
Speak quietly and with great restraint
When they say
Liberty and justice for all
They're not talking about you
Your very humanity is
Suspended by a fragile thread
But I tell him instead
Trayvon did nothing wrong.
Being brown is not wrong.
Going to the store is not wrong.
Wearing a hoodie is not wrong.
You have my permission
to wear a hoodie
every day
if you like
Some will fear you
for your brown skin
and your brilliance
and your boldness
But stand up
for what's right
If you are afraid
Speak up anyway
And if there is a time
You need to be quiet
and hide the fire inside you
Repress your screams of
"It's not fair!"
To keep yourself safe
That's all right, too.
And when you are safe,
As a wise man once said,
The only thing necessary
for the triumph of evil
is that good men do nothing
do something
Speak up
Sing out
Walk tall
Be free
And love
For the fierceness
With which you love
is your greatest
And as you once said,
my wise child
Love is the strongest thing
Nothing can break it
And you,
are love.
Note to Teachers: There are still many unknowns in the killing of Trayvon Martin, and it's challenging to resist jumping to conclusions. Nonetheless, this is an opportunity to ask your students what they are wondering and what have they have learned from Trayvon Martin's death.
Here are some questions that may deepen a conversation with your students. You are encouraged to come up with your own, too.
Discussion Questions
- How do you feel about Trayvon Martin's death?
- Have you ever felt that someone racial profiled you or associated you with a negative stereotype? What happened?
- The death of Trayvon Martin has touched on many issues, including racism, stereotypes, vigilantism, and fear. What is Trayvon Martin's death really about? Is there anything missing in the conversation about his death?
- Florida has a Stand Your Ground law that gives citizens the unrestricted right to kill if they feel threatened in any way. What do you think of this law? Do you think it's justified?
- Why would George Zimmerman have thought Trayvon Martin was suspicious? What does a hoodie represent to you?

"No matter how depraved and disgusting a comedy gets, it only becomes "offensive" or "inappropriate" when the creators attack something you love. Even a comedy show as respected as "The Daily Show" can fall into this trap. There are few men in America that are as beloved among young adults as Jon Stewart, but he just questioned the wisdom of the Supreme Court's ruling in the case of Brown vs EMA...
Jon Stewart is dead to me now."
Actually, I think his point was "violent content," is more acceptable than "Sexy Content." And that it's a double standard. Americans love violence much more than they love "sexy content." "Sexy content," is more acceptable in different countries, and violence is frowned upon. I do think it's ironic that Arnold Schwarzenegger is the one who was backing it up.
I don't think Jon realizes there is an ESRB rating system, and how stores and parents are supposed to enforce that. He doesn't understand the issue with the bill is that it may hamper freedom of speech, because any game could be a victim of the "violent" label and stores may not want to carry that particular game. Plus, using Mortal Kombat as an example of violent video games, makes people believe that the average game is that violent. Lots of misinformation regarding this whole thing.
Hmm...don't know what to make of the video.
For one, we have to understand just what the show is. It's not like the sarcasm of the show has changed. Stewart knows how to get a point across while being all out funny.
Secondly, I think John was trying to show the hypocrisy of the court that they struck down only half...and then highlighting the choking thing as a way to show the immaturity from all levels.
I LMAO at the Super Mario Boners, though! That was hilarious!
I'm not convinced that "free speech" and "letting publishers sell and even pitch violent games to minors" is the same thing. I'm British, so I'm a little fuzzy on the bill's exact wording, but I think that there's a lot of financial self interest going on.
Besides, overly violent films get an NC-17/18+ rating, don't they? I know the two mediums are very different, but ain't it a double standard?
My point is, don't do the classic thing of immediately attacking anyone who defends the bill. Actually deconstruct it and try to see where they're coming from. This issue is a proper shade of grey.
I laughed at one of this guys jokes maybe once. He is probably the worst comedian I've ever seen. His show is beyond boring and they edit all the footage they use and make it seem people are worse then they really are. Even though its all just for laughs it still pisses me off.

The White Papers are WYA's statements in response to United Nations commissions. The White Papers address the most significant topics in global policy discussions and in key international proposals. These papers:
Is surrogacy the answer to infertility or a violation of women and children's rights? Is there a human right to have a child? Surrogacy law is emerging as a patchwork among and within countries. In the midst of policy debates, people are entering surrogacy agreements. This paper explains the various types of surrogacy and the difficulty fitting it into existing areas of law. It also raises concerns related to human dignity and human rights, such as whether they can be reconciled with a practice that arguably treats women and children's bodies like commodities. Lastly, it provides an overview of national, regional, and international legal mechanisms related to surrogacy.

Sustainable Development
Is limiting population growth a pre-requisite for sustainable development or is this argument misguided? As the population grows, how can the world continue to meet the needs of each person while sustaining the earth's resources? This paper introduces sustainable development as presented in UN conference documents and examines the dangerous errors in countries' attempts at limiting their populations. This paper uncovers Earth's greatest resource, human creativity, and why this is the most effective policy in tackling root causes of policy and building truly sustainable development.

Reproductive Health
What are the implications of a faulty understanding of Reproductive Health and does an international right to this exist? Reproductive health is a key theme in international human rights advocacy institutions, including the United Nations. However, inconsistencies in the interpretation of this term allows for ambiguity in the understanding of human rights. This paper presents the definition of reproductive health and associated terms according to international consensus documents from international human rights treaties and conferences. Finally, this paper explains the proper understanding of Reproductive Health in international negotiations and why this is important.

Sexual Education
The international community is currently debating whether international law requires States to educate adolescents about their sexuality. Various non-governmental organizations, United Nations Special Rapporteurs, and treaty-monitoring bodies assert a right to comprehensive sex education, a controversial approach to sex education that arguably encourages adolescents to experiment with their sexuality. This assertion of a right to comprehensive sex education is erroneous and misleading. International human rights are created in two ways: by treaty and by custom. Treaties do not mention comprehensive sex education, or any other form of sex education or training. Custom, found in international consensus documents and other declarations of political will, and confirmed by State practice, holds no universal agreement on sex education. Because neither treaty nor custom creates a right to comprehensive sex education, no such right exists.

Maternal Health
The death of a mother devastates her family and the broader community. 287,000 women died of pregnancy-related causes in 2010. The maternal mortality ratio (MMR) ranges from over 1,000 in the less developed countries to 16 in the most developed countries. This paper details current statistics and primary causes of maternal deaths. It then presents historical models of maternal mortality reduction and the key interventions necessary to reduce maternal mortality. Finally the paper discusses why abortion services and contraception are unnecessary for reducing maternal morality.

HIV/AIDS is a global epidemic mired in politics and foreign aid. This paper examines the science of HIV transmission and presents a person-centered response, focusing on risk avoidance, treatment, care, and support. The paper explores the importance of locally developed intervention strategies and the success of antiretroviral therapy and other methods in effectively reducing HIV transmission. The paper ends with an analysis of the successes and failures of large, international intervention strategies.

Family Planning
What exactly does family planning mean in a global health context? Why is an accurate interpretation of the term crucial in international law? Family planning is tied to empowering men and women to determine the number and spacing of their children and improve women's health. This paper discusses the concept of unmet need for family planning and identifies its shortcomings. It examines the issue in the context of international human rights treaties. Finally, this paper emphasizes the importance of a proper understanding of family planning rights in global health policy.

The Family
The Universal Declaration of Human Rights declares, "The family is the natural and fundamental group unit of society and is entitled to protection by society and the State." No other institution is so universally recognized and so strongly affirmed.

European Union (EU) Development Aid and Coercive Practices
Is there a possible link between EU funding and coercive abortion and sterilization? The EU opposes coercive reproductive health policies and any funding of coercive practices violates both international law and the freedoms that form the guiding principles of the EU. This paper examines coercive reproductive health programs in China and India and outlines EU principles and international law regarding this issue. Finally this paper studies potential funding links to existing coercive programs.

We were gathered around a table talking about the spotlight on community colleges in this sputtering economy. I was among a group of business people who had heard all the "noise" about community colleges. Everyone seemed quite informed. There were anecdotes about attention from the White House and banter about the perceived impact on economic vitality, continuing education, workforce development, and, near and dear to my heart, entrepreneurship. Just about everyone had heard about the initiative to assist 10,000 small businesses by a Wall Street financial powerhouse. But missing in these conversations was the detail.
How many businesses are really being created at the community level? Is it really getting done?
It isn't much different when community college officials speak. I hear educators and administrators talk about the progress and success of their entrepreneurship programs in starkly different ways. Some are pleased to get one course off the ground. Others are proud to have launched an incubator. A few have programs providing entrepreneurship education in name, but, in reality, little gets done.
The question: What should the outcome of entrepreneurship courses at community colleges be? Should they create new businesses? Should they merely inform students about the rewards and perils of entrepreneurship? Should they serve to eliminate entrepreneurship as an option for those unsuited for such a career? My vote? Community colleges should be the catalyst for new businesses across the country. They should spark the growth and turnaround of existing businesses. And we should have a national index to track it.
Results Matter
It's too easy to allow the results of entrepreneurship education to go unmeasured. The danger of creating programs that do not produce successful businesses is lethal to the entrepreneurship movement at community colleges. Students, faculty, administrators, presidents, and trustees will ultimately not take such programs seriously. Folks who fund these programs in a big way, like veteran entrepreneurs and corporate donors, will certainly not take these programs seriously. And what will government agencies and even the White House think about entrepreneurship education at community colleges if we cannot prove it works? If an insignificant number of businesses are created, all of our work is simply academic – and not in a flattering sense.
If your college is not measuring the results of your entrepreneurship education efforts beyond grades and tuition, you're missing the mark. Students who enroll in entrepreneurship programs care more about creating money-making enterprises than anything else. You should too. At what level was the business when it began work with your program? What are the specific gains achieved by the business in revenues, profits, customers, and other variables? Is the business now a viable company?
Good Intentions Aren't Enough
Over the years I have tried to assist many colleges in creating successful business education programs. Generally I'm contacted by an earnest faculty member assigned the task of creating an entrepreneurship program. Typically he or she has no resources, and expectations are low.
We meet. I provide my best ideas. I detail my experiences. I give lots of recommendations – ideas that I know will work. The faculty member excitedly listens and we part ways. I feel thrilled I was able to contribute to the school's efforts, only to follow up months later and find little, if any, progress has been made.
There are internal debates about curriculum, credit vs. non-credit, and concerns about an initially low student enrollment. Meanwhile, like any business there are customers to be served –- would-be entrepreneurs, but they don't know how to find them, market to them, and serve them. Since no one is tracking results at these schools, the idea of developing a world-class entrepreneurship program simply fades away.
This missed opportunity exists because there's no pressure to produce results. How different things would be if the educators had to produce a meaningful number of successful businesses at their schools? What if they witnessed other schools having success, launching and growing businesses in concrete numbers?
There are even schools with no entrepreneurship program with significant numbers of students launching businesses. Other factors at the college sometimes make it conducive to serving entrepreneurs. Yet these statistics never make it to the attention of the school's leadership.
I suggest you start right now, creating an annual index at your school, tracking start-ups, expansions, and turnarounds at your college no matter how dismal the initial data may look. I would encourage every community college to create an individual school index to be rolled into a NACCE Entrepreneurship Index. Announcing this index annually would not only provide tangible evidence of the results of our collective work, but it would give community colleges a greater voice in the business of national commerce. There's an old adage: "What gets measured, gets done."

NEW YORK (AP) — With his wife and adorable 8-year-old son on the front row, Reed Krakoff presented effortless luxury in snakeskin wrap skirts and sleeveless cashmere coats during his first show since reclaiming his namesake brand from Coach, where he spent 16 years at the creative helm of the retail giant.
And what was young Oscar's favorite part? "The snacks," he giggled after it was all over, acknowledging he also liked the clothes.
Does it feel good, dad, being back in control after making the change last year? "It really does. I'm super happy doing what I do," the 50-year-old Krakoff said, moments after bright lights inside a stark Chelsea show space were dimmed and the crowd thinned.
With a pop of bright yellow at the end in a python-print dress, easy elegance highlighted the collection for fall, though Krakoff said he wasn't much interested in the seasons.
"The show was all about the idea of individualism and kind of a seasonless collection," he said. "Even though it's fall we wanted to do something that addresses the way people really dress these days. It's less about just one solution for the season."
Krakoff used a touch of pony hair on the collar of a sleeveless shearling coat and again on a sleeveless vest. A hand-painted python wrap skirt came in a neutral color and three snake prints created a patchwork on another.
But it wasn't all about the snakes. A dotted collage overlay offered up texture in gold.
There were also bomber jackets and a curly shearling patchwork on the sleeves of a cardigan sweater.
In addition to the pop of yellow, Krakoff chose a cobalt blue for leather skirts and several other looks.

In this book, there is a transfer of ideas about how singles can live a Christian and faith-based life. The book is co-authored with 9 first time authors, chosen from varied background and experiences; unmarried and divorced. The topics selected by these authors are those that would generate discussion wherever this book is mentioned.
The Single Truth: Written By Singles For Singles is a compilation of brief, emotionally impactful ideas written by a collective of 10 authors. As lead author, Michelle Cameron leads the discussion on topics and principles that will help single Christians navigate through the stage of singlehood according to the Bible. Each of the authors shared their outlook on the topics and also their experiences on personal and public topics. Get ready to learn something you wished you knew earlier.
The Single Truth: Written By Singles For Singles has a perfect review from Tavares J. Bussey an Educator and a poet. "I believe the winning formula of this book, The Single Truth: Written By Singles For Singles: Written by Singles for Singles, is the variances of experiences from the contributing authors who come purely to share what it means to be single and Christian. This comes to break the fallow ground of false expectations and standards of being to proudly proclaim that there is no one way to do this thing. There is no one-way to be single."

One unexpected challenge that used to face astronauts working in space stations was the problem of being confined with all those accumulating human smells complicated by not being able to take showers in outer space. To solve this problem, researchers developed an electronic organic molecular scrubber that literally killed odors by using an airborne plasma of molecules. This technology found its way to medical and industrial applications to kill a wide range of odors and bacteria. And now this same technology is available to hunters to decontaminate odors and bacteria on everything they wear or carry into the woods.
One such device is called the Xterminator, and it is the size of a medium-sized stereo speaker. It simply plugs in to an electric outlet and turns any closet or small room into an odor-decontamination chamber. The Xterminator uses a patent-pending process that includes a unique combination of activated oxidation plasma. This process tears apart the molecular bonds of organic compounds into their base atomic elements.
I field-tested an Xterminator unit last fall and was impressed. I followed the instructions and placed all of my hunting clothes and gear, including my bow, in a basement closet and turned the machine on. After the charging time, I was impressed at the level in which it seemed to deodorize everything. My wife and I even placed some garlic-soaked, plastic pickle jar lids in the closet during one charging session. After an hour, there was no garlic residue whatsoever.
The only residue on my clothing and gear was a slight smell that reminded me of chlorine from a swimming pool. I'm still not sure exactly how the machine works, but after using it for nearly two months, I'm confident that it helps in deodorizing hunting garments and gear.
This is not to say I gave up on my total approach to scent elimination. I still wear Scent-Lok clothing and use Wildlife Research Center's Scent Killer spray and Code Blue body wash. I shower before each hunt and do not dress in my hunting clothes until I am out of my vehicle. Although that routine alone has proven effective, the addition of the "recharged" clothing seemed to provide a distinct extra advantage. I arrowed one buck and two mature does during this experimental period, and none of them showed any signs of detecting my presence. Proof that it works? No, but it did provide additional confidence and peace of mind.
Two other companies offer similar scent-killing units. Ozonics offers a product that promises to remove human odor emitted from the body, breath, clothing and surrounding areas. Perfumes, food smells, smoke and natural human scent can also be eliminated using an Ozonics unit. This unit runs on batteries and sells for one-half the price of similar products.
The Moxy Scent Elimination System uses a garment bag and portable Moxy Generation Unit to treat hunting apparel. The unit creates a patented antibiotic, supercharged oxygen molecule that seeks and eradicates all forms of bacteria, mold, mildew, fungus and other odor-causing microorganisms. It is advertised as not being harmful to humans and animals.
The Xterminator and Moxy units both retail for $500 at various on-line stores, while the Ozonics unit retails for $250 at Bass Pro Shops. The Ozonics unit is portable, and can be used in a tree stand while hunting to create an odor-free zone.
According to a former NASA scientist, the concept behind these machines is plausible. "My guess is that most of these products are ozone generators, maybe coupled with ionizers," the source said. "They all work in that ozone oxidizes most volatiles and kills most bacteria, and ionizers have a similar impact on dust and other small particles (smoke carbon, etc.). I've actually had one in my lab for over 15 years, so it's not exactly a cutting-edge concept.
"Ozone works," he added. "It should cut down odor each time it is used (assuming electricity is available), so it should be useful when laudrying isn't convenient. Ozone does eat rubber, so don't expect your elastic to last quite as long. It also is hard on soft plastics and acts as a bleaching agent (the bleach-like smell that even you detected).
"I am not sure how you or I would know if an odor-reducing system really 'worked' from a deer's perspective. Our assumption is that if we can't detect it easily, neither can the deer."
Only time will tell if these machines stand up to the rigid standards of deer hunters.

HealthDay News -- More than 2 million people come down with infections from antibiotic-resistant bacteria every year in the United States, leading to at least 23,000 deaths, according to a report released Monday by federal health officials.
The report marks the first time that the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention has performed a comprehensive analysis of the impact on society from antibiotic-resistant bacteria, said Dr. Steve Solomon, director of the agency's Office of Antimicrobial Resistance.
"This is scary stuff, and we want people to know about it," he said.
The report outlines how antibiotic resistance occurs in patients and spreads through the community. It also lists medical procedures that have become more dangerous because of these bacteria. Those procedures include dialysis, chemotherapy, complex surgery and organ transplants.
Antibiotic overuse is the single most important factor leading to antibiotic resistance, according to the report. Antibiotics are among the most commonly prescribed drugs, but as many as half of those prescriptions are either not needed or not the best course of treatment for the patient, the report said.
"Patients need to understand that antibiotics are not the solution for every illness," Solomon said. "It's important that people not take antibiotics when they aren't necessary. It contributes to resistance, and it also has consequences to the patient in the form of side effects."
The CDC also faulted the use of antibiotics in food animals to prevent, control and treat disease, and to promote their growth. "The use of antibiotics for promoting growth is not necessary, and the practice should be phased out," the report stated.
The centerpiece of the CDC report is a threat-level assessment for 18 bacteria- and antibiotic-related illnesses, broken down into three categories: urgent, serious and concerning.
Three antibiotic-related illnesses are ranked as urgent threats demanding immediate attention:
Twelve infections from antibiotic-resistant bacteria are listed as serious, and three as concerning. For each bacteria threat, the CDC offers guidance for what healthcare industry officials, medical professionals and the general public can do to limit its spread.
Infections by antibiotic-resistant bacteria add as much as $20 billion in excess direct health-care costs, with additional costs for lost productivity as high as $35 billion a year, according to the report.
In its report, the CDC outlined a four-pronged strategy for combating antibiotic-resistant bacteria:
"As different as these problems are, the same strategies to address them are shared in common," Solomon said. "By helping people understand that those four core strategies are shared among the ways we address all of these antibiotic-resistant bacteria, we put it all in context and provide a glimpse of the big picture."
Dr. Georges Benjamin, executive director of the American Public Health Association, said he appreciates the report's frank, down-to-earth manner.
"[The report] gives us a handle. Something we can use to talk with the public," he said. "Obviously, there is an enormous risk to the health of the public by antibiotic resistance, and it's going to take a multiple-sector response to resolving it."

BRISTOL, Tenn. – In front of a crowd that packed Kline Gym with tie dye and throwback music, both sides of Bristol were entertained by the King Lady Tornado and Virginia Intermont Cobras women's volleyball teams squaring off. The Lady Tornado turned in their fourth consecutive victory with a three-set victory over the Cobras (25-13, 25-20, 25-21), Tuesday night. Summer Kremer led King with 10 kills while the team improved to 7-5 overall.
Virginia Intermont committed 13 attack errors on 40 attempts while being stopped at the net twice by the combination Summer Kremer (Mills River, N.C.) and Kelsey Griffitts (Bristol, Va./John Battle H.S.). Five different Lady Tornado chipped in a pair of kills to help break away from the Cobras and finish the first game on a 12-4 run.
Lauren Willoughby (Cary, N.C.) led the charge in the second game with a trio of kills on six attempts and a block assist in King's 25-20 set win to put them ahead two games to none. With a one point lead, Mariah Herington (Jonesborough, Tenn.) started a three-point run with her fourth kill of the night. Willoughby and recently minted Conference Carolinas Player of the Week Grace Underwood (Pearland, Texas) stuffed Rachael Bell at the net, followed by a service ace by Payton Tipton (Cleveland, Tenn.). Willoughby finished off the set with her fifth kill of the night, completing a 6-2 run and achieving the set win.
The Cobras rebounded and had a lead over King early in the third set before Willoughby helped the Lady Tornado gain ground on the visitors to tie the set at 12-12. Summer Kremer had back-to-back kills to tie the match and a third soon after to tie it again at 13-13 before King began to create distance from VI.
Ahead by one point, 21-20, a kill by Kremer followed by a bad set from Ashley Hooven created a three-point gap that was not to be recovered from. Kelsey Griffitts finished off the Cobras with two straight kills in succession for match point and a 25-21 third set win.
Kremer led the Lady Tornado with 10 kills on 32 attempts and added three block assists. She now has six consecutive games with 10 or more kills and has as many in all but one contest this season, totaling a team-high 175 on the season. Her three block assists set a new season high for the sophomore.
Grace Underwood finished with seven kills on 15 attempts (.333). Kelsey Griffitts had six kills, mainly working out of the middle of the floor, while leading the team with four block assists against the Cobras.
Olivia Underwood (Pearland, Texas) and Heather Harvey (Kingsport, Tenn.) each finished the night with double-digit assists. Harvey finished with 12, all coming in the third set, while Underwood led the team with 15.
King (7-5, 2-0) will jump back into Conference Carolinas play against the Pfeiffer Falcons on Friday, Sept. 21. First service against the Falcons is set for 7 p.m. from inside the Student Center Complex gymnasium.

Winds peel roof off Old Town business
No one hurt
OLD TOWN, Maine —Officials said no one was in the business at the time when the roof came off.
High winds blew the metal roof off a business in Old Town Thursday morning.
It happened at 6 a.m. at General Rental Center on Center Street.
A neighbor called the owner to let him know what happened.
"I came in and found about a 30 by 30 piece of the roof in the yard here. It hit against the telephone pole. We're lucky no one was here. The pole stopped it from going into the road and it didn't break the pole," said General Rental Center Vice President Troy Greenleaf.Despite losing its roof, there was no damage to the inside of the building.

University of Missouri Co-sponsors Fiber Daze Event
A collaborative effort including University of Missouri Extension is bringing together fiber enthusiasts in southwest Missouri.
The first "Fiber Daze" event was held last fall at Crowder College in Neosho. According to Dr. Jodie Pennington, small ruminant educator with Lincoln University Extension, the event featured teachers in all areas of the fiber arts.
Attendees had the oppotunity to learn to spin their own yarn, improve their knitting skills, dye different types of fibers, and take their weaving to the next level, Pennington said.
The event was a joint venture with University of Missouri Extension, Lincoln University Cooperative Extension, Crowder College Department of Agriculture and the Fiber Folks of Southwest Missouri, a local fiber guild.

Lukewarm Stove: Alfonso Soriano Trade Chatter Picking Up
A day after finalizing a deal that unloaded Carlos Zambrano on the Miami Marlins, the Cubs appear to be hard at work unloading another problematic player, Alfonso Soriano.
The "problem" with the outfielder, mind you, is totally different than that with Zambrano. Soriano, who turns 36 tomorrow, is a hard worker and a well-liked teammate. The "problem" is that he's also owed $18 million over the next three years, and his legs have left him. Although he still has some life left in his bat, playing regularly in left field is not something Soriano can do well anymore. And doing so is probably sapping some of that life from his bat.
So, it's unsurprising that the Cubs have been aggressively shopping Soriano for some time now, on the understanding that the Cubs would eat enough of his contract to make a deal palatable for some AL team, who could DH Soriano for the next few years.
Bruce Levine reports that the Cubs have spoken to at least eight AL teams about Soriano, with the Mariners and O's mentioned specifically. The most Levine expects the Cubs to save by dealing Soriano is $5 million per year, with the Cubs eating the remaining $39 million. Even in that case, I wouldn't expect the return on such a deal to be anything worth getting excited about.
Chicago Cubs President of Baseball Operations Theo Epstein certainly didn't rule out a trade of Soriano when he was discussing the Zambrano trade yesterday. Indeed, Epstein came off like a guy selling Soriano to the whole of the AL.
"[Soriano] hit 26 home runs and drove in 88 runs last year," Epstein said. "He's a valuable offensive player, so it's our responsibility as an organization to work with him and to get the best out of him. At some point in the future, if there's a transaction that makes sense with any of our players that puts the Cubs in a better position moving forward, we are going to pursue it. But in respect to Alfonso, he has power and is an offensive contributor. We can work with him to get the best out of him and see where that takes us."
Sounds like the kinds of things Epstein said about Zambrano … and Sean Marshall.
The team whose name keeps popping up is the Baltimore Orioles, with a report out of Baltimore claiming the Cubs and O's have discussed a Soriano deal. Phil Rogers suggests something similar, and even mentions Brian Roberts (oh no, not that again) by name, though it seems like he's speculating.
The Boston Red Sox, who have discussed Marlon Byrd with the Cubs, are not interested in Soriano says Nick Cafardo, which is unsurprising.
Soriano, you'll note, has a no-trade clause, though he's previously indicated he would waive it if the Cubs asked. Perhaps the rebuilding nature of the team will inspire him to hold to that.

Eyewitness News investigation gets trash removed
BAKERSFIELD, Calif. (KBAK/KBFX) The city of Bakersfield's Solid Waste Division cleaned up torn mattresses and couches illegally dumped behind an apartment building on the corner of 8th and K streets after an Eyewitness News investigation found the items had remained there for nearly a month.
Torn mattresses, couches and tree branches were dumped next to a trash dumpster located in an alley behind the apartment structure.
"When I came home from dropping my cousins off from school, the trash was literally littered all over. I couldn't even get in to park right here," said Maricel Diza, who contacted Eyewitness News about the problem. "To come home like that, to see such an eyesore ... it's not nice."
Diza said the trash was first dumped sometime in the middle of May and that calls to city asking for a clean up were unsuccessful.
A Solid Waste official told Eyewitness News that the city is does not take responsibility for cleaning up illegal dumping on private property. However, after the conversation, Eyewitness News was informed that the trash was cleaned up because it was on the edge of public property.
Anyone seeking answers regarding illegal dumping can call (661) 86-CLEAN or 862-5326.

Description: This exceptional hand forged chef's knife is the creation of California artist Don Carlos Andrade. This light knife is influenced by Japanese knives -- both in construction and balance. The carbon steel blade will have exceptional edge holding, even under heavy use, though carbon steel knives do require slightly more care. We recommend using camellia oil after use to avoid rust.
The antiqued blade was forged to shape from 1095 carbon steel. The blade has been distal tapered for optimal balance. Don forges closely to shape and uses a draw file for final shaping rather than a grinder. Though this takes a lot of time, the results are unique and exceptional. A differential heat treatment results in a soft, supportive spine with a hard, keen, long lasting edge. A clear differential heat treating line is visible in the blade.
The maple burl handle is Don's take on the traditional octagonal Japanese handle. A desert ironwood ferrule and accent brings in contrasting tones. The resulting knife is one that you won't want to put down. The handle is completed with a bronze pin. Exceptional work throughout.
