Kellee Terrell, News Editor for TheBody.com
Last week for BET.com, I wrote a pretty straightforward piece about a recent Brown University study that explored ways that African-American churches in Philadelphia are engaging their congregations in talking about HIV/AIDS. The researchers interviewed 38 influential church leaders in Philadelphia to see which methods work in terms of churches engaging their congregations about HIV/AIDS; obstacles that stand in the way of doing this work; and the feedback (both positive and negative) they have gotten over time.
In the piece, I discussed the study's findings:
The interviews revealed some serious concerns that faith leaders have had when doing AIDS outreach in their churches. While some reported that their congregations found sermons about HIV/AIDS to be inspiring and progressive, other congregations were angered. Pastors were worried that people would leave the church, and tithes would be lost. Other concerns were the difficulties of talking about HIV and still preaching abstinence.
But what they found that worked for churches was instead of focusing HIV/AIDS on sex and sexual behavior, the messages that seemed to resonate were ones that were about HIV testing, treatment and social justice, a strategy that doesn't contradict their religious teachings. And testing and treatment are very important given that the more people living with HIV/AIDS who are on treatment are less likely to transmit the disease to someone else.
Citing some past successes of black churches over the past year in doing numerous HIV/AIDS campaigns, the study's lead author, Dr. Amy Nunn, M.S., Sc.D., told me, "There has always been this great cynicism in engaging black clergy, and this report shows that it isn't impossible if we do it in a way that resonates with those faith leaders and meets them where they are."
It was very encouraging to hear that different churches were rallying together to urge members of their congregations to get tested and seek treatment if they test positive. I was also especially geeked to hear about the church discussing this epidemic as a social justice issue, too -- a message that has yet to really make headway here in the U.S.
And given the influence that black churches have historically had in their communities -- they were often the only social institution that the community could rely on -- this could be one step in the right direction for those who rely on the church for guidance and information.
And while I wrote about the study with very little critique, I want to be clear that something didn't sit right with me about what was being said. How can you have productive conversations about the HIV/AIDS epidemic and skip over sexual behaviors, safer sex and sexual orientation?
When I asked Nunn the same question, she told me that it wasn't all that surprising to find that churches didn't want to talk about sexuality or behavioral interventions. But that didn't mean they couldn't be engaged in doing AIDS work, especially since behavioral interventions have had little success in the public health realm.
"If you think how we have [used] money historically, it's about condom use and changing the behavior use and those haven't been helpful in reducing disparities, and HIV infections," she said. "The most effective tools we have now [are] testing and getting people to adhere to medication."
Yes, I agree that behavioral interventions alone may not have garnered the decline in infections we might have hoped for, but perhaps that's less about personal negligence and the lack of conversations about HIV and more about something systematic and structural. First, the more testing campaigns we have targeting higher-risk populations, the more we are going to see an increase in positive results. Second, it's important to look at the mounting data that shows connections between unsafe sex and gender inequality, history of past trauma, homelessness and poverty, just to name a few. So to lessen those gaps, we need to look beyond behavioral interventions, testing and treatment.
But to abandon a conversation about the "uncomfortable" stuff -- sex, fluids, needles, sexuality, gays, anal sex, etc. -- seems to be a missed opportunity to educate people, and allows for all churches to dance around the issue and continue to get away with "bad behavior." And no, I am not saying that all African-American churches or heterosexual black people are homophobic, because that just isn't true; there are plenty of people and churches who don't co-sign onto that nonsense. On top of that, homophobia is an issue that people suffer from regardless of race and ethnicity.
But I am also not going to downplay the history of homophobia in the black church, either.
Undeniably, this epidemic is a public health crisis, even though not everyone views it the same way. Some churches have used their interpretation of the Bible to preach that AIDS is a consequence of being immoral and not following God's rules. And because of that, too many churches over the past 30 years have sat back and been silent while members of their congregations died.
If churches are tackling HIV but refusing to get into the nitty-gritty, my biggest fear is that the stigma associated with all of that won't get addressed. And therefore this disease will continue to get categorized as something that those "bad" people get and not something that happens to "righteous" married people.
So what happens when a church member tests positive and discloses to the congregation in hopes of emotional and spiritual support? Will he or she be greeted with open arms or be rejected? Will this person be told, "I love the sinner, but hate the sin"? Better yet, given the lack of knowledge about HIV basics and the uptick of HIV criminalization laws in the U.S., will people not want to sit next to or hug and kiss this person because they are worried that HIV is transmitted through casual contact?
Maybe the church isn't the problem; maybe it's me. Maybe I'm too "all or nothing." Maybe I'm asking these institutions to be at a place where they just aren't at yet, or asking them to do a type of work that isn't their job to do and goes against what they believe. Whatever the case, while some of my colleagues can embrace these findings, call me stubborn -- I'm just not there yet.

Iraq's top Shiite cleric urges peaceful transition
Iraq's top Shiite cleric urges peaceful transition
Aug. 01, 2014
BAGHDAD (AP) — Iraq's most influential Shiite cleric appealed to Iraqi politicians on Friday not to make themselves "an obstacle" in the country's transition as the deadline looms for selecting the next prime minister.
The remarks by Grand Ayatollah Ali al-Sistani, delivered by his spokesman, were another indirect appeal by the cleric to Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki to step down.
"The big challenges facing Iraq require that the next government command national and broad acceptance ... to face the crises that are hitting the country," spokesman Ahmed al-Safi quoted the reclusive al-Sistani as saying.
"No one should make himself an obstacle in achieving national consensus," al-Sifi added during the sermon in the southern Shiite city of Kabala.
Al-Maliki, who has led the country since 2006, has insisted he remain in the post for a third four-year term. His bloc got the most seats in April's parliamentary elections but failed to get a majority, so he needs to build a coalition in order to govern.
The next government is expected to grapple with an unprecedented blitz offensive by Sunni extremists from the Islamic State group, which in June seized a large chunk of the country's north and west.
Iraq's leaders are under pressure to form an inclusive government that can draw Sunni support away from the insurgency. But the Sunnis have long accused al-Maliki of marginalizing their community, and even many of his Shiite and Kurdish allies say he has monopolized power.
Iraq's newly-elected president, Fouad Massoum, is required to select a prime minister from the largest political bloc by next Friday.
Al-Sistani's appeal came as the United Nations said that more than 1,737 people were killed in Iraq in July, making it one of the deadliest months of the year but marking a decline from the previous month, when the Islamic State militants swept across much of the country. The death toll in June stood at 2,400.
Still, July's toll — which included an increase in killings in areas now under the control of the Islamic State — was considerably higher than May's, when about 800 people were killed.
Iraq's large, U.S.-trained and equipped military melted away in the face of the initial militant onslaught, but has since regrouped — though it has not managed to retake lost ground.
In announcing the latest casualty figures, the U.N. mission also reiterated its own calls on Iraq' feuding politicians to set aside their differences and form an inclusive government.
"It is time that they move forward on the creation of a new government that can address the root causes of violence in Iraq and ensure equitable development for all communities," Nickolay Mladenov, the U.N. special representative for Iraq, said in the statement Friday.
Militants with the Islamic State have also destroyed ancient shrines and mosques in Iraq's second-largest city, Mosul, claiming they stray from hardline Islamic practices and instead promote apostasy.
Al-Sistani denounced the targeting of holy sites on Friday, saying Islamic State extremists are "alienating themselves from the humane, Islamic standards."
In Baghdad, a car bomb tore through a busy commercial street in the eastern Habibiya neighborhood, killing seven people and wounding 16. And in the nearby al-Khulani Square in central Baghdad, three bombs exploded almost simultaneously, killing four people and wounding 12, according to police and hospital officials. All officials spoke on condition of anonymity because they were not authorized to speak with the media.
Baghdad had the highest July death toll among all the provinces, the U.N. said, with at least 415 people killed. To the north, Ninevah and Salahuddin have seen heightened violence since militants seized parts of both provinces, including the provincial capitals of Mosul and Tikrit.
The U.N. estimates exclude the western Anbar province, most of which has also been held by militants for months.
In Haditha, a town in Anbar near a strategic dam, fighters with the Islamic State group launched a three-prong assault on Friday, using a suicide oil tanker and trucks, Lt. Gen. Rasheed Fleih, the commander of Anbar Operations Command, told The Associated Press.
The militants briefly took over an army command headquarters in the town, but the military was able to retake it, Fleih said. Ten soldiers were killed in the clashes.
Associated Press writer Qassim Abdul-Zahra in Baghdad contributed to this report.

I use these eaa in conjunction with egg white powder. Find very positive. I enjoy mixing my protein intake and find that eaa increase my muscle thickness. Thanks . I hope this helpsGoes Well With:Egg white powder and dextrose.
Excellent product and service as usual from a well renowned brand.
I have always used Alri products that are similar but often find issues with stock. Having now started to use Myprotein EEA +, I find that the product is readily available and good value for money. I have been achieving good results with this product as I am able to maintain and build muscle and keep trim due to there being no calories in this product. My only concern is that the tablets are difficult to swallow as the size and shape seems wrong. Goes Well With:Water, instant oats.
First of all this is the best type of amino acids (vs BCAA) because unlike BCAA's which only give you 3 A-Acids, ECA gives you all of them, so your body benefits more. I have done 6 months training without ECAs and currently im on my 4th week with ECAs. Result: Recovery time has decreased which means less muscle mass loss when ripping up. prefect for people who want to reduce Body Fat % without losing size. And my gains have increased. JUST ONE PROBLEM. I have choked on these pills about 6 times now! The shape and size is just wrong! I have to chew on them before i can wash it down with water, and they don't taste nice at all. Goes Well With:Water, protein shakes. water . water
Has helped with muscle growth, reduced fatigue and reduced muscle soreness..
EAA Plus gives really good results, however it can be a lot better to swallow if it comes in capsules.Goes Well With:whey
I recently hit a wall with my muscle gains and I found out it may have been due to a lack of some amino acids ie leucine. Since using MP EAA tablets my gains have once again improved. Fantastic product and cheapest around.Goes Well With:MP impact whey
Its difficult a be certain of the effectiveness of this product, as I've seen no physical changes. That said I've only been taking this for the last week. The tablets are on the slightly on the large side, so swallowing them is a bit difficult. I recommend lots of water. There is also no taste to the tablets.
"Have been taking these for 2 months pre and post workout with true whey, great product cant really measure their effectiveness but you know they are contributing, tablet size is ideal allowing high mg of EAA's and easy to wash down one after the other, no scent or flavour to them which is a plus since some other tablets ive had are foul smelling/tasting are hard to take down. may try BCAA's next seem better value for money and may be able to drop the rest of the amino acids as they are in the whey protein."
"Been using EAA+ for about 2 months now, instead of heavy protein drinks. Have seen a better standard of energy and recovery. Weight training has become easier, and weights have felt lighter, due to a sense of more power when taking these. One downside is the massive recommended dosage MP suggest! 15 capsules a day maximum, and they're big pills to swallow! I usually take 3-4 at breakfast, 3-4 before training, 3-4 after training, and 3 early evening. I work 12 hour shift work so ca only train on my days off, so every 4 days, for 4-5 days, even with this I still see results and have good recovery time. Hope this helps people."

People with emphysema or chronic bronchitis may be at higher than average risk for a painful rash known as shingles, a study published Tuesday suggests.
The shingles rash is caused by the same virus that causes chickenpox. After a person has had chickenpox, the virus hides in the body's nerve tissue, where it can become active again later in life.
Shingles is most common after the age of 50, and in those whose body can't fight off illness as well as usual because their immune system isn't working properly. Many cases occur in patients taking immune-suppressing medications or who have cancer.
But it has not been clear whether the risk is elevated for people with chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD), a group of serious lung diseases - such as emphysema and chronic bronchitis -- that make it hard to breathe.
In the new study, researchers in Taiwan kept track of nearly 8,500 COPD patients, age 50 and up. They found that on average, every year for 10 years, 16 of every thousand patients developed shingles. But among nearly 34,000 COPD-free adults the same age, only 9 of every thousand developed shingles every year.
When the researchers considered other factors -- like people's overall health and income -- COPD itself was linked to a two-fold increase in the risk of shingles.
While COPD is a lung disease, it also involves widespread inflammation in the body and disruption of some parts of the immune system, explained Dr. Ya-Wen Yang of Taipei Medical University, the lead researcher on the study.
That, Yang told Reuters Health in an email, may explain the higher vulnerability to shingles.
The findings, reported in the Canadian Medical Association Journal, are also in line with past studies that have linked other inflammatory conditions -- like rheumatoid arthritis and inflammatory bowel disease -- to a higher than average shingles risk.
Shingles has no cure, but there are antiviral drugs that can lessen symptoms and speed recovery, especially if they're taken soon after the rash appears.
There is a one-time vaccine against shingles that reduces the risk of developing the condition in the first place. It is recommended for all adults age 60 and older -- the only group so far in which the vaccine has been tested adequately.
"Because shingles is frequently complicated with chronic pain, leading to reduced quality of life, we suggest COPD patients discuss with their doctor if they are appropriate for shingles vaccination," Yang said.
The vaccine, called Zostavax, was approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration in 2006, but the majority of eligible patients have not received it. Expense might be a large factor: the vaccine is covered by Medicare Part D prescription drug plans but not by regular Medicare policies that cover only doctor visits and hospital stays. For people whose insurance doesn't cover it, the vaccine can cost up to $200.
Another possible reason for under-use of the vaccine is that while doctors who treat children are accustomed to prescribing immunizations, doctors treating adults are not. In an interview with Reuters Health last month, Dr. Michael Oxman at the University of California, San Diego, who has been involved in studies of the vaccine, said, "The human cost of (shingles) is enormous." But, he added, "Adult medicine is really geared toward diagnosis and treatment of existing diseases. The adult medical community is just not as attuned to preventing disease ... as pediatricians are." (See Reuters Health story of January 11, 2011.)
According to the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, about one-third of people with shingles develop complications, most commonly long-lasting nerve pain - called post-herpetic neuralgia - that can go on for months or even years after the rash has healed.
In the U.S. it's estimated that one-quarter to one-third of adults will develop shingles at some point.

WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The White House urged Congress on Saturday to "do its job" and find a solution to end a fiscal impasse over raising the U.S. debt ceiling and end a government shutdown after the Senate rejected a Democratic plan.
A statement from White House press secretary Jay Carney said it was unfortunate that the Senate Democratic plan failed to pass because it would have taken the threat of a debt default off the table ahead of a looming Thursday deadline.
"Congress must do its job and raise the debt limit to pay the bills we have incurred and avoid default," said Carney.
With five days left until the government runs out of borrowing authority, said Carney, "Congress needs to move forward with a solution that reopens the government and allows us to pay our bills."

One Piece - Chapter 660 [manga]
Welcome to the weekly manga discussion thread for One Piece.
Thread Guidelines
Last week we were introduced to the latest addition to the shichibukai. What business does he have on Punk Hazard!? Perhaps this chapter will reveal some answers. Credit once again goes to T for the summary and the various translators at AP for translation:
-Chapter title is "Shichibukai Trafalgar Law". There's no ministory this week since there will be a color page instead.
-As Chopper's group escape with the giant kids, the kids say that their illness was cured in a year. They also pass by a room where a prisoner is being submerged in ice. Meanwhile, the samurai head argues with Sanji, saying he wants to find his son solo. The chef and Franky then regroup with Nami and Chopper briefly after the dispute.
-....However, they also happen to meet at the same area where Smoker's group and Law were at, so they're forced to run once again. The marines give chase, but Law impedes them by using his "room" power to lift their battleship in the air....!!!
Hm, chapter sounds brief from the summary but I'm sure the full thing will reveal some extra juicy content. I'm sort of guessing that Law had a hand in helping those kids, though that still doesn't explain what connection he has with the PH people. Anyways, looks like he ended up helping Luffy's crew once again. I wonder if he's going to make some new centaurs out of those G5 marines?

Well, Blueno already has the door-door fruit...
Anyway, now things are getting fun! I wonder who's going to fight who - Law may not give a damn about the Straw Hats, but attacking Smoker doesn't seem like the brightest idea
EDIT: Nope, Law is still within the "room"...

See my problem with Oda making Sanji out to be just comic relief is that whenever I could/would speculate about his level up or his new powers, I can't take any hints seriously. E.G. this chapter, he 'felt' Nami's distress, but it's so typical Sanji that you can't really tell if it's haki he's using or this is just the fourth wall crumbling down again.

Couldn't it also just be the room-room fruit (from the English "room", that is)? I think it still fits under the DF name pattern of 2 syllables, after all.....
Anyways, fun chapter. I really liked the crew interaction going on here. I also had a good chuckle at Sanji's argument with Mr. Samurai Head. Also, a big LOL at the marines even getting weirded out by the bizarre shenanigans taking place at PH. As for Smoker vs. Law, I'm pretty much also in the camp with those who believe we'll only see a brief fight before it gets interrupted. I dunno about Luffy being the one to get in the way, though.... his group seems to be pretty busy with those centaurs, after all. Maybe Brooke and the samurai's torso will crash the party instead!
Also, calling it now: Those frozen bodies Nami and Chopper found? I'm willing to bet that they comprise of those ID prisoners that Blackbeard busted out during the war.

1) I can't help but feel that Law is telling the truth; he seemed genuinely surprisedto see the Strawhats there. I think that he knew the Strawhats entered Punk Hazard, but thought they left after not finding anything. It's possible that he did hire the sheep-men, but they're secretely working for the Goo Guy, and that he was told that the Stawhats left when they were actually being taken.
2) The "frozen people" may very well be the Level 6 Impel Down prisoners that Blackbeard released, since they all do seem to be wearing prisoner garb. In fact, they may even be the 100 pirates whose hearts he gave to the World Government. That would definitely exonerate his crimes in their eyes, and allow him to become a Shichibukai.
3) Until we get an explanation on what exactly Law's power can do, what he did this chapter just bugs me. Levitating a warship? This isn't seperating and rearranging things; this is a powered down version of the Fuwa Fuwa no Mi that Shiki uses. I know I'm wrong about that, but right now, that's just what this seems like.
4)Happy 36th Birthday, Smoker-san!

Tayshaun Prince made two free throws with 10.9 seconds left to give Detroit a 96-94 victory over the Milwaukee Bucks on Sunday night after the Pistons blew a 14-point lead.
Prince scored 20 points, and Greg Monroe added 14 points and 10 rebounds for Detroit, which had five players in double figures. Charlie Villanueva and Brandon Knight added 11 points apiece, and Jason Maxiell scored 10 for the Pistons.
Monta Ellis had 30 points and nine assists, and Erson Ilyasova scored 24 points for the Bucks.
Ellis hit a fallaway baseline jumper with 1:06 left, after almost losing the ball out of bounds, to give the Bucks their first lead, 94-92. But Prince's hook shot tied the score with 50.5 seconds remaining. Ellis missed a jumper with 31.9 seconds to go and Maxiell got the rebound. Following a timeout, Luc Mbah a Moute fouled Prince, who stepped to the line and made both free throws.

Bill Cosby to Release His First Stand-Up Special in 30 Years
His last was the instant classic Bill Cosby: Himself.
In 1983, Bill Cosby put out the stand-up film Bill Cosby: Himself. An instant classic that somehow feels completely fresh and relevant 30 years later. (If you haven't seen it, the whole thing is on YouTube below.) Beyond that, it laid the groundwork for the cultural institution that was The Cosby Show. Well, it was announced today that Cosby will be releasing his first special since Himself on Comedy Central on November 24, 2013. Entitled Far From Finished, it was directed by another comedy icon Robert Townsend. Cosby has been very active over the last decade or so, touring the country and killing it on late-night shows, but this is the first time we'll get to see a whole polished set from the legend. Kevin Hart, your "best stand-up special of the year" title is in serious jeopardy.

I know tant. I literally did mean "if you could" as in if it were possible. If it is possible to trade Booth.. I'd think about that if there's another move lined up to bring in a more effective player.tantalum wrote:you can't compliance buy out Booth until next summer. He's hurt.
I also think if you wanted to, he is still a guy that can be moved based on some of the recent signings. (Boyd gordon at $3 mil? seriosuly? he's never scored 30 point for goodness sakes).
It's no guarantee. I don't think you necessarily have to move Kesler to the wing as you could potentially slide Grabovski or Schroeder over.. but even then I'm less stuck on the idea that Kesler has to play center than I used to be.But in order to do that you need to find that $5.5-6 mil player. Grabovski may be that type of guy but I still wonder about the wisdom of moving Kesler to the wing such a move would necessitate. Grabovski did well in his defensive matchups but he isn't a Selke winner. Not convinced Grabovski in the end would be any better quality wise though it would be a shakeup.
It'd be a fair bit of flexibility though. Grabovski and Schroeder could play together on a soft minutes offensive line with each one taking draws on their strong side, leaving Kesler to take on the tough matchups; Kesler could play on Schroeder's wing (or vice versa) and Grabovski could take on the tough matchups; the team could go with Grabovski, Kesler and Schroeder each centering their own line with Schroeder on the fourth line between a couple of big bruisers.
And of course if/when Kesler goes down the team can still ice three respectable lines.
Anyway I don't think it's realistic.. in fact I started down this road talking about how Grabovski is pretty much the only guy left I'd dump Booth for at this point.
Yeah. And fair enough. I thought before that this offseason would be a real crossroads and barring something like a big free agent signing it would appear that Gillis has made his choice and will hope the existing core still has enough to offer when some of the younger players begin to do more than tread water at the NHL level.Seems to me that the apparent goal this year of getting the kids icetime while keeping the core intact is to get through the cap crunch and provide a better base from which to work from next season when the cap will skyrocket.

For six years, music fans have been hoping to see the Tower Records building in West Hollywood designated as a local cultural resource, a first step toward someday turning the former retail record and video store into a museum.
It would stand, they said, as a tribute to the blues, jazz and rock 'n' roll scenes that for decades defined the mile-and-a-half section of Sunset Boulevard between Hollywood and Beverly Hills.
Trouble is, the squat, unassuming Tower Records building constructed in 1971 isn't old enough to meet federal and state criteria for such a designation. And after the record store chain filed for bankruptcy in 2006, the record and video inventory was sold off, the record bins ripped out, the hand-painted album covers removed and the Tower signs erased.
Without some remaining hint of what was once here, the West Hollywood Historic Preservation Commission concluded it would not be possible to designate it a cultural resource. Instead, commissioners agreed to see if the city attorney could figure out a way for West Hollywood to legally commemorate the old store at 8801 W. Sunset Blvd. and the effect it had on musicians, record labels and the Sunset Strip's club scene.

There is good news and bad news in the talk show arena. The good news is for Jimmy Fallon. His successful ratings have breathed new life into The Tonight Show, so much so, that NBC has begun demanding exclusivity in order for A list guests to appear on the late night program. The bad news is that other talk shows are going to have a difficult time getting these guests to appear on their lineups. This moratorium on appearing on other shows doesn't only include the late night circuit but also the morning talk shows.
For Press Agents this is also bad news. Whenever a star releases a film, a book or is featured on a new television series it is typical to do a press junket. This allows the star to be seen on as many talk shows as possible to promote their newest venture. NBC's proposal will alter the entire method used by press agents to get their stars media attention. It is interesting to note that by having The Tonight Show relocated to New York City the ability for stars to appear on multiple talk shows in a short period of time increased. When Jay Leno and Johnny Carson hosted in Los Angeles it required a cross country flight to be seen on Late Night with David Letterman. The unusual focus of NBC's move was not to have first rights to a star appearance but to have all rights to a star appearance.
In August a foreshadowing of this type of exclusivity was evident on The Colbert Report when Daft Punk pulled out from the show due to an appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards. Stephen Colbert deftly skewered this type of move, noting that "once you see a band play a song you like, you obviously never want to see them again." The sarcasm can be applied to the situation with NBC. It seems likely if you are a fan of George Clooney and he is on Jimmy Fallon you will still turn in if he is on The View. The fact is that these shows have different demographics, which is the reason public relations personnel are keen to promote on both programs. People who are watching at midnight are not often the people watching at 8 AM. Therefore, NBC demand seems to be an unreasonable reach of a non-compete for artists to adhere to.
The other unknown aspect of this new exclusive demand is that no one knows what will happen to an artist if they choose to ignore the exclusivity. Will Kim Kardashian never appear on The Tonight Show again if she goes on Late Night or The View after visiting Jimmy Fallon? As no one knows it will land on the artist and agents to decide this issue. Daft Punk chose not to appear on The Colbert Report but other artists may not adhere to such pressure. Only time and the ratings will tell.

Changes to undergraduate campus landscape
June 24, 2013
The trees in front of Pamplin, JR Howard, and BoDine were removed today as part of a capital project to replace an existing sewer line that had reached the end of its useful life. Due to the location of buildings and utility tunnels in this area, this was the only feasible location for the new sewer line. For the seven trees removed, 20 new trees will be planted that include Maples, Crape Myrtles, and White Fringetree.
Wood salvaged from the cedars will be kept for future use on campus. The two Linden trees in front of JR Howard were damaged during the construction of the building and have been in poor health and in need of removal. The wood chips from these trees will be used for weed suppression throughout campus as the grounds crew continues its' goal to be pesticide-free by January 2014.
Phase I of the sewer replacement will run from Zehntbauer to the southwest corner of Albany and involves trenching along the north side of the pedestrian sidewalk. Areas of immediate work will be fenced for safety, but access to buildings will remain throughout the project.

I am sad to see that here it is indirectly and wrongly suggested that Cooper diminishes the role of religion, or that he regards it as a "useless" in the wilderness. You're not being fair to Cooper since he is not using the character of David Garmout to criticize the role of religion in general. To assume such interpretation would be to neglect Cooper's own position towards religion.
It's worth stating that James Fenimore Cooper was actually a religious man, and not only the great support he gave to his Episcopal Church is a testimon

DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — In a story transmitted Jan. 25 and Jan. 26 about Algeria's deadly hostage crisis, The Associated Press mischaracterized Algerian Foreign Minister Mourad Medelci as acknowledging that security forces made mistakes in their handling of the standoff. The mischaracterization resulted from use of an incomplete quote. The AP initially quoted Medelci as saying, "We are in the process of assessing our mistakes. In that assessment we are leaning more towards establishing that the operation was a success." The full quote, translated from French, is: "I am not sure that today we are in the process of assessing our mistakes. We are more in the process of establishing that the operation succeeded."
A corrected version of the story is below:
AP Interview: Algeria needs international help
AP Interview: Algeria needs international help fighting terrorism
By MARTIN BENEDYK
Associated Press
DAVOS, Switzerland (AP) — Algeria's foreign minister said Algeria will need international help to fight terrorism in the wake of a hostage crisis at a Saharan gas plant in which dozens of foreign workers were killed.
Algeria's decision to refuse foreign offers of aid in handling the crisis, and to send the military to fire on vehicles full of hostages, drew widespread international criticism.
While defending his government's handling of the crisis, Mourad Medelci said Algeria can't face international terrorism alone.
"It absolutely needs support," Medelci told The Associated Press in an interview at the World Economic Forum in Davos, Switzerland, on Friday.
"This is Algeria's message: Algeria faced internal terrorism alone but it can't continue to face international terrorism alone," he said. "It absolutely needs support and this is needed not just by Algeria, but all countries need to join into the fight against terrorism. "
The Jan. 16 attack, which an al-Qaida-affiliated organization has claimed responsibility for, sent scores of foreign energy workers fleeing across the desert for their lives. A four-day siege by Algerian forces on the complex followed. At least 37 hostages and 29 militants died.
Medelci defended the government's decision to attack instead of negotiating, pointing to its years of experience dealing with Islamist extremist violence.
"Faced with such an attitude (of terrorism), it's not just words that solve the problem. It's action," he said.
"I am not sure that today we are in the process of assessing our mistakes," Medelci said. "We are more in the process of establishing that the operation succeeded."
The minister said Algeria is likely to reinforce security measures at sites where multinationals operate in the oil- and gas-rich country. But he insisted that foreign workers in Algeria "will continue to work in Algeria and that is the best way to answer the terrorists."
He argued that Algeria wasn't the target of the attack. Instead, he said, the terrorists were targeting investors and the foreigners who work for them.
An international group of militants led by a Mali-based warlord staged the attack. The extremists demanded an end to the French-led military operation in neighboring Mali, where al-Qaida-linked groups seized control of the north last year.
AP correspondent Angela Charlton contributed from Davos.

|Top: Paula Broadwell with back to camera talks to Petraeus.
A Truth Journal: CIA Petraeus Scandal: What New Lies Is He Telling About His Affair?: From Denny: Gen. David Petraeus has been found to have gamed the time line of his affair. He claims the affair ended four months ago in the summer. If that is true then why is he seen with Paula Broadwell at the premier status and very close knit intelligence community dinner of the OSS Society?
The only people invited to that event are former or current CIA directors, top level military and those with ties to the WWII era predecessor of the CIA, the Office of Strategic Services (OSS).
Paula Broadwell is not and never has been a top level military commander, has zero ties to WWII, the French Resistance, the OSS or even the CIA - except for sleeping with the CIA Director Petraeus. Oh wait, she is guilty of shameless social climbing, home wrecking, name dropping, getting kicked out of Harvard's doctoral program and gossiping in public speeches sensitive and classified information. Yes, that.

15 Fresh & Bright Desserts for Spring
Spring is definitely in the air, and it's right about now that the idea of entertaining starts to have appeal again. After all, we need to remind each other what we look like without scarves covering our faces. The first get-together of spring needs a special dessert to mark the occasion, don't you think? A fluffy cake or a parfait with billowy whipped cream, something with crunchy nuts and topped with a drizzle of honey. Here are 15 recipes that we think will do the job admirably.
Light and fresh is the name of the game when it comes to perfect springtime desserts. Citrus is still bountiful, making us crave desserts like Lemon Yogurt Icebox Cake and a simple Blood Orange Crostata. And it doesn't get much better than crunchy meringue pavlovas topped with a citrus fruit salad or early summer strawberries. This said, a slice of good old-fashioned carrot cake sure does sound good! The recipe below is one of our favorites.
The hint of green in the trees and longer daylight hours are enough reason to think about throwing a party right now, but we also have Passover starting tonight and Easter coming up next weekend. Whatever your reason for celebrating, there's sure to be a recipe or two in this bunch that will have your guests begging for seconds.

Sorry, I don't understand how that addresses my question.retrofuturist wrote:Greetings Mike,
In the Kalakarama Sutta (Nanananda transaltion), the Tathagatha explains of himself that...mikenz66 wrote:In which sutta does it say that a concept is an object of mind-conciousness?
In setting himself apart in this way, the Tathagata infers that puthujjanas do indeed "conceive of a cognizable thing as apart from cognition"... in other words, they birfurcate between "concept" and "reality" like the Sujinites.He does not conceive of a cognizable thing as apart from cognition; he does not conceive of an uncognized; he does not conceive of a 'thing-worth-cognizing'; he does not conceive about one who cognizes.
Thus, monks, the Tathagata being such-like in regard to all phenomena seen, heard, sensed, and cognized is 'such'.

As a celebration of all things October, BGH asked each of our writers to submit a Top 5 list of their choosing. Stay tuned all throughout October to see what these demented folks come up with!
We all have that one movie we have to watch around the Halloween season, and what better way to enjoy that film than with a nice frothy beer? Boos and Brews chronicles the BGH crew's favorite Halloween-time movies, paired with a delicious beer. Drink up!
The Bird with the Crystal Plumage (1970)Director: Dario ArgentoWriter: Dario ArgentoStarring: Tony Musante, Suzy KendallCompany: VCI Entertainment
The idea has been kicking around for a while and now it looks like MTV will in fact be bringing "Scream" to the small screen. No confirmation on if Wes Craven will have anything to do with the project but it looks like a pilot is moving forward and if it's picked up the hour long series would hit the tube sometime next Summer. Live every day like it's your last my friends. Every god damn day.
It was only a matter of time before Guillermo del Toro and Chuck Hogan's vampire trilogy "The Strain" made its way from the pages up to the big screen and now it looks like Corey Stoll has landed the lead in the adaptation. Stoll will play a doctor who teams up with a small group to battle a vampire clan that has taken over the world. I've read these books. I'm smart.
August 8, 2014 will be the day that Universal Pictures finally drops "Dracula", a new film about a man who find himself turning into a wolf every time there's a full moon, into theaters. Wait no, that can't be right.
Want to go see Goblin perform the entire "Suspiria" soundtrack live in Austin Texas this summer? Me either! What if I were to tell you tickets were $175 bucks? I know I want to see them even less now too!
It must be awful to be Chloe Grace Moretz's parents. She seems to be really good at things and I feel like she would be disgusted with me when she comes home after doing something awesome and I'm sitting on the couch wrapping up a 20 McNugget box. Now she's landed the lead in the big screen adaption of "If I Stay", a new film about a girl who can only remember the events after a serious car crash she is involved in. She'll probably be awesome too. So awesome that the only thing I could do to match her is eat 3 snack wraps after I finish the McNuggets. They're so good.
I have never understood the love for Dario Argento's "Suspiria" but maybe that's because I love freedom and think the ballet is stupid and gross. None the less though I was kind of interested to see what was going to happen with the remake but according to director David Gordon Green the film may never get off the ground. Looks like the film is caught up in all kinds of legal mumbo jumbo and probably won't be made. To best honest "legal trouble" kind of sounds like "I was baked when I said I wanted to remake this movie and now I need to find a way out". But what do I know.
There are probably 4 people on this planet that actually give a crap about the WWE's reboot of "Leprechaun" but damn it all if that is going to stop them. To their credit though the gang behind the film say it will be a lot darker and more of a traditional horror film then the original. So that's something right? To be clear 1 of the 4 people is Mark from the podcast. He gets so excited. His little arms just get all a flutter in his size XS Stone Cold t-shirt.
I have never seen a version of "The Legend Of Sleepy Hollow" tale I did not like. To be fair though I've only seen 2 and 1 of them was a Disney cartoon. Now it looks like those crazy freaks over at Fox are rolling on a pilot for a new show based on the classic headless horseman tale. "Underworld" director Len Wiseman will lead the pilot and I swear if there's not a talking frog and possibly a singing bug of some sort I will hunt him down and give him a stern talking to.
Dario Argento's "Opera" tells the story of a young budding opera starlet who is being stalked by a killer that likes to tie her up and force her to watch him kill people by taping needles under her eyelids. The movie starts out with Betty, the young opera singer, landing her first big role as a lead in "Hamlet." The killer immediately begins to stalk her and murders a stagehand during her first performance, causing the crew to lament that the play is cursed, as they believe productions of "Hamlet" often are.
Isabelle Fuhrman will always be the creepy little girl from "Orphan" to me. Except when I read "Orphan" quickly and think it says Oprah. Then I just get really really confused. Especially when I read Oprah is going to be starring the "Suspiria" remake. So just to recap, Oprah is not starring in remake of Dario Argento's classic film "Suspiria". Isabelle Fuhrman who was in "Orphan" will be. And they're both creepy. but for different reasons.
The cast of the "Carrie" remake looks to be shaping up nicely with both Alex Russell and Ansel Elgort in talks to take on roles in the film. I have no idea who either of those guys are and I think one of them does Broadway crap so I'm kind of happy about that. Good talk huh?
"Contagion" writer Scott Z. Burns has been tapped to pen the script for the upcoming sequel to 2011's "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". Rupert Wyatt, who directed the first film will also take the director's chair this time around. Also, Andy Serkis, who jumped around in a suit to bring Caesar the ape to life will return and most likely spawn a bunch of ridiculous talk that a guy who rolls around on the ground in a leotard should get an Oscar.
Everyone's favorite little spark plug Amy Adams is in talks to play the lead in a new film called "Dark Places". Adams would be Libby Day, a woman who becoming involved with a secret society that's obsessed with the strange murder of her family some 25 years ago. Can she look adorable while visiting her convicted brother in prisons? All signs point to yes.
Surprise, surprise, I'm writing about another Italian horror film. Seriously though, this is the one. Trust me.
Everybody loved Joss Whedon's catchy little musical when it launched online, so now you can buy Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog in book form! Just be forewarned; you have to provide the musical parts yourself.
I'm not a very approachable guy in the mornings. You could say I'm a bit grumpy, so I'm going to use that as an excuse as I kick you all in the beans with this official trailer for MTV's Teen Wolf.
The "Piranha" was a pretty big success so of course a sequel is on it's way. It wasn't until now that director John Gulager has started to release some tidbits on the zany plot for "Piranha 3 Double D"; which moves from Lake Havasu to the chlorinated depths of a water park!
It was already known that "Your Highness" director David Gordon was angling for a remake of the classic "Suspiria" for his next film. In a recent interview with Movieline, Gordon made fans just a bit less apprehensive of his plans by mentioning that they had procured the original film's Goblin score and he fully plans on using it!
Were you saddened by the news that "World War Z" may not be coming to the big screen due to financial woes? According to Deadline Hollywood, things might not be so bad. There could be as many as three different financiers in talks to share the load on the $125 million budget.
"Pineapple Express" director David Gordon Green is plotting the much talked about remake of the Dario Argento wunderkind "Suspiria" as his next birthing. Green is excited to hop on the project but sees his retelling leaving behind the ballet theme for a girl's boarding school setting. And I am seeing this as more of a hardcore porn flick but truth be told if I was allowed to remake movies 99% of them would turn out that way.
Khalid Laith and Razane Jammal have both signed on to play roles in the upcoming Tobe Hooper flick "Djinn" which focuses on a couple who finds their luxury apartment is inhabited by some sort of demon type thing that plays tricks or something. I have no idea who either of these guys are but I would never admit that though because I'd be too afraid that it sounds racist. Oh boy, I've said too much. Really need to get that backspace key fixed.
Along with 37 other movies it sounds like mancrush Neil Marshall is also working on an alien invasion movie set during World War 2. That's about all the details that have been discussed on this one but I've always wanted to post something about Hitler getting some sort of anal probing so let's hope something along those lines makes it into the movie.
On the heels of the release date for "Piranha 3DD" being pushed to a November 23rd Joel Soisson has been brought in to produce the flick along with fixing the script. I have no idea how you could screw up a script that probably goes something like "girl takes off top, fish eats girl, repeat" but what the hell do I know. Maybe throw in a "nude girl swims with other nude girl to weird music". Wait that's been done? I'll never make it in this town.

Futures were sharply higher as traders worried about the drought in Brazil and the potential for crop losses from production for the coming harvest. Some rain was reported over the weekend that should have been very beneficial and wet weather forecasts continue in Brazil for late this week. Charts show that the market could be turning short term trends up. It still appears that the market has established at least a short term trading range between 15.00 and 16.50 in May New York futures and is now at the upper end of that range. Thai Raw Sugar differentials are steady to weaker again this week. The exporters there have been offering Raws but should start to offer Whites soon. India announced a subsidy for exporters and traders after dictating that they pay farmers high prices for Sugarcane. The subsidy should be enough to let exports start flowering. However, the market mostly ignored the news after an initial push lower because of the dry weather forecasts in Brazil. Weather conditions in key production areas around the world are rated as mostly good except for the dry weather in Brazil.
Overnight News: Brazil could see dry weather and near to above normal temperatures.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are mixed to up with objectives of 1700 and 1800 May. Support is at 1620, 1600, and 1585 May, and resistance is at 1660, 1670, and 1700 May. Trends in London are up with objectives of 464.00 May. Support is at 444.00, 440.00, and 437.00 May, and resistance is at 457.00, 461.00, and 467.00 May.
Futures closed higher on ideas of tight supplies. Demand for export has turned soft in the last week to 10 days, but domestic demand is said to be strong However, domestic supplies are said to be tight, and USDA projects tight ending stocks at the end of the current marketing year. Cash market premiums are reported higher in the last few sessions, and some think that producers have sold most of their production. Spinners in the east are the ones said to be shortest of supplies. Prices are high enough now to make some producers consider increasing planted acres next year. The market needs to keep seeing demand to keep prices well supported. Brazil conditions are reported to be very good in Bahia with warm temperatures.
Overnight News: Delta areas could see drier weather and southeast areas drier weather, but all areas will see some rain Thursday and Friday. Temperatures will average above normal through Thursday, then near to above normal. Texas will see dry weather. Temperatures will average above normal. The USDA spot price is 84.45 ct/lb. today. ICE said that certified Cotton stocks are now 0.250 million bales, from 0.250 million yesterday.
Chart Trends: Trends in Cotton are mixed. Support is at 86.80, 86.70, and 86.30 March, with resistance of 88.40, 89.30, and 89.90 March.
General Comments: Futures closed lower as the weather stays good in Florida and the chances to freeze trees diminishes by the day. The weather might be stressing trees in Brazil as reports indicate that many areas still need rain despite some better precipitation reported over the weekend. Florida is harvesting a very small crop of oranges due to disease problems with the greening disease. Growing and harvest conditions in the state of Florida remain mostly good, with mostly dry conditions and moderate temperatures. More rain would be beneficial. Irrigation water is available and is being used. Harvest remains active for early and mid-oranges, but fruit sizes are reported to be small. The Valencia harvest is expanding. Brazil is seeing near to above normal temperatures and mostly dry conditions after showers and rains moved through production areas over the weekend. Dry weather or only light showers are forecast through this week, but better rains are expected this weekend.
Overnight News: Florida weather forecasts call for mostly dry conditions. Temperatures will average above normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in FCOJ are mixed to down with no objectives. Support is at 142.00, 140.00, and 139.00 March, with resistance at 145.00, 147.50, and 149.00 March.
Futures closed sharply higher in New York on ideas that coffee has been lost in Brazil. Some now say that 10% of the crop has been lost or damaged. There will not be any field surveys done for a couple more weeks yet. Traders also keep waiting for more coffee to appear from Vietnam. Trends are up in all three markets. Exports so far this year from Vietnam have been disappointing and below the level of last year. This was true in January as well. The weather in Brazil has produced ideas of less production for this year and maybe next year as trees get stressed. Good rains are now forecast for this week which will help stabilize losses. Losses appear to be at least 5% so far, but wire reports yesterday noted that some analysts now think losses are closer to 10% of the total crop. It is possible that not enough rain will fall this week to help production, but the situation should turn more stable as the rains will provide some help. Differentials are still holding fairly firm in Central America and offers have turned very light. Bids are becoming more active with reports of roasters caught short of supplies. Differentials in the region are higher than last week.
Overnight News: Certified stocks are slightly lower today and are about 2.631 million bags. GCA stocks are now 5.029 million bags, from 5.086 million at the end of December. The ICO composite price is now 137.33 ct/lb. Brazil will get mostly dry conditions or light showers, with best precipitation totals expected this weekend. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Colombia should get scattered showers, and Central America and Mexico should get mostly dry weather. Temperatures should average near to above normal.
Chart Trends: Trends in New York are up with objectives of 152.00 and 164.00 March. Support is at 144.00, 142.00, and 140.00 March, and resistance is at 157.00, 159.00 and 162.00 March. Trends in London are mixed. Support is at 1760, 1750, and 1740 March, and resistance is at 1825, 1880, and 1905 March. Trends in Sao Paulo are up with objectives of 172.00 and 184.00 March.

Futures closed a little lower in consolidation trading. The market needs news and worries about dry weather in West Africa that could stress trees and hurt midcrop production. A good midcrop production is possible from Africa, but producers say more rain is needed, especially in central and northern areas. It will turn mostly dry again this week and whatever stress is there will increase. There is some talk of a delayed mid-crop harvest, but little talk of actual yield losses so far. There is also talk of some losses in Indonesia and other countries in Southeast Asia from recent heavy rains.
Overnight News: Mostly dry expected in West Africa, but a few showers are expected in southern areas. Temperatures will average near to above normal. Malaysia and Indonesia should see scattered showers. Temperatures should average near to above normal. Brazil will get dry conditions or light showers and near to above normal temperatures. ICE certified stocks are lower today at 3.555 million bags.

The new Marshalls Creek Bypass was conceived in a conversation more than two decades ago between then-Democratic state Rep. Joseph Battisto and the late Al Wilson.
The new Marshalls Creek Bypass was conceived in a conversation more than two decades ago between then-Democratic state Rep. Joseph Battisto and the late Al Wilson.
And now Rep. Rosemary Brown, R-189, has introduced a bill to have the bypass named in Battisto's honor.
Battisto spoke to Wilson, a former Smithfield Township supervisor and roadmaster, as they observed traffic flowing through Marshalls Creek just after completion of the shopping plaza at the double stop lights.
The second light, at the intersection of routes 209 and 402, was put in "to discipline traffic" due to the additional commerce, Battisto said. That's when the two hit on the idea of a bypass to move traffic around congested Marshalls Creek.
"The whole idea germinated on the front porch out there at the general store," Battisto recalled.
It would be a difficult, complicated, costly process.
Battisto, one-time Mount Pocono mayor who served 18 years as state representative, became synonymous with the project.
"Every project needs an advocate," Battisto said. "I did it for 10 years, almost every day."
Battisto recalled that the bypass idea was presented to the U.S. transportation secretary, who asked: "Where the hell is Marshalls Creek, Pa.?"
Most federal bypass projects were focused on moving traffic around major cities, not unincorporated villages.
Yet traffic invariably backed up along Route 209 in the Smithfields as a growing residential population, tourists and through-travelers tried to squeeze their way through a tight road funnel.
Battisto arranged for the Pennsylvania transportation secretary to visit Marshalls Creek in 1990, and he agreed to fund a feasibility study.
The project slowly gained traction in the board rooms but its high cost, relative to routine road work, caused delays.
Battisto, who served nine terms in the state House, was defeated in 2000 by former Rep. Kelly Lewis, who had his doubts about the bypass.
"The expected cost was $60 million then and Kelly Lewis said, 'Why not build six $10-million projects instead of one $60 million project?'" Battisto recalled.
The project eventually inched up the state's transportation priority list and was authorized.
But 2008 phase 1 project costs, including land acquisition, came in at $75 million.
PennDOT engineers responded with a revised, less costly bypass featuring two lanes rather than a four-lane highway.
The bypass itself opened earlier this year, but work on related secondary roads and bridges continue.
Final completion is expected in late 2012 or early 2013. Final price tag: nearly $100 million.

Hello and thank you for providing this website - I have already downloaded several Greek and Latin texts which have proved enormously helpful. I teach Latin and Classical Civilisation in England and have been teaching myself classical Greek the past 3 years or so, with a long background in NT Greek. I have concluded it will help my reading a great deal if I undertake the hard slog of Greek composition, hence the usefulness of the old textbooks you generously provide.
Many thanks again for your very helpful site.

The Waynesboro Indians varsity baseball team defeated the Gettysburg Warriors, 10-0 in six innings on Wednesday afternoon in a Mid-Penn Colonial Division game.
GETTYSBURG — The Waynesboro Indians varsity baseball team defeated the Gettysburg Warriors, 10-0 in six innings on Wednesday afternoon in a Mid-Penn Colonial Division game.
The Tribe (14-3, 11-0) scored three runs in the second inning to take a lead it didn't lose. Waynesboro scored in every inning thereafter, including three more in the fifth to take a 9-0 lead.
The Indians added a run in the top of the sixth and relief pitcher Andrew Ebersole, seeing his first varsity action of the season, pitched a scoreless bottom of the sixth.
Starting pitcher Alex Cline pitched five innings of 2-hit ball and struck out four while walking one batter.
"We've been resting Alex for a week and a half now because of an injury," said Waynesboro head coach Greg Chandler, whose team hosts Greencastle-Antrim today in the final league game of the season. "He had good velocity on his fastball. He only had 53 pitches in five innings."
Cline was helped by two double plays in the infield. The first was a ground ball back to Cline, who threw to shortstop John Barr for one out. Barr fired to first baseman Ben Weber for the second out. Then, in the sixth, Barr initiated a double play by throwing to Cole Warrenfeltz covering second base, and Warrenfeltz turned and threw to first base for the second out.
In the second inning, Cline singled and advanced to third on a base hit by Ingram on a hit and run. Ingram stole second base and Clay Eberhardt followed with a two-run single. Eberhardt then scoredon an error.
The Indians added two runs in the third as Warrenfeltz singled and stole second base, advanced to third on a sacrifice bunt by Brandon Yurek and scored on a fielder's choice. Weber hit an RBI single to make it 5-0.
Ingram reached base on a passed ball strikeout to start the fourth inning, stole second and scored on a single by Justin Freeman.
In the fifth inning, Yurek walked and stole second, advanced to third on a sacrifice fly and scored on a ground out. Cline doubled and Ingram reached base on an error and both runners advanced on a passed ball. Cline scored on a wild pitch and Eberhardt drove in his third run with a single.
Waynesboro closed the scoring in the sixth when Warrenfeltz walked and later scored on a double by Yurek.
NOTES: Waynesboro is ranked ninth in the latest District 3-AAAA power rating. . . The Indians will play in the Mid-Penn Conference Tournament on Monday against Lower Dauphin at 7 p.m. in Dillsburg.

Surface Salinity Drifters: A Start to Monitoring the Global Water Cycle for Climate Change Detection
OCCI Project Funded: 2006
Proposed ResearchOne of the key uncertainties in global climate change science is the degree to which the global water cycle will intensify with climate warming. A warmer atmosphere can hold more water vapor; thus, stronger evaporation and precipitation patterns are expected to emerge as the planet warms. This could mean more intense droughts in some regions and more catastrophic floods in others. The oceans are the key to understanding the future evolution of the water cycle, as they harbor 97% of the planet's water reserves, experience about 90% of the global evaporation and 80% of global precipitation. The patterns of evaporation and precipitation over the ocean are reflected in the patterns of salinity variability at the ocean surface. Whereas, evaporation and precipitation records from land are ambiguous about water cycle changes, the limited data on ocean salinity show striking trends that are the best evidence yet of a changing water cycle.
The measurement of salinity remains a challenge, however. Presently available sensors have significant problems with biological fouling - microorganisms tend to grow on their surfaces and impair function. To solve this problem, we have developed a design for a new sensor that is able to clean itself of biological colonization using mechanical scrubbing and time released anti-foulants. The goal is to deploy many of these new sensors on surface drifters to obtain continuous and extensive measurements of upper ocean salinity. A large number of surface drifters are deployed every year throughout the global ocean, and we would like to add salinity sensors to these same platforms. The present grant enabled us to produce the pieces for 10 sensors. We are pursuing additional funding to assemble, test and deploy these sensors. We believe they will be a key component of future climate monitoring systems and will allow new insights into the largely unmonitored global water cycle.

Bill Would Open Public School Sports to Homeschoolers—The Big 12
- Scott Woodruff HSLDA
- 2013 2 Oct
For over a year, Representative Jeremy Thiesfeldt of Fond du Lac has been working on a "Tebow Bill" for Wisconsin—a bill that would give homeschoolers (and others) the option of trying out to play on public school sports teams. The draft of his bill is now available for public review.
When I spoke with his office last week, his staffer told me he is already considering some amendments to address concerns that have been communicated to him. As of today, it is only a proposal—it has not been filed and does not have a bill number.
HSLDA will maintain a position of neutrality on the bill, as we generally do in all states on such issues. We recognize that there is a diversity of opinion about whether it is good for homeschool students to be able to play on public school sports teams.
But since the issue is relatively new to the Wisconsin Legislature, I would like to draw from HSLDA's experience in all 50 states over the past 30 years and offer the "Big 12": Four myths exposed, four possible pros, and four possible cons.
Myth vs. Reality
Myth No. 1: "Homeschoolers will lose their freedom if they get access to sports." Over the years, the number of states giving homeschoolers access to public school sports (either as a matter of right, or with the school's approval) has swelled to 30. There is not a single state in which homeschool laws were made more burdensome after homeschoolers won sports access. In a number of states, the homeschool laws actually improved after homeschoolers obtained access to sports, including Idaho, Iowa, Maine, and South Dakota.
Myth No. 2: "The extra burdens placed on families who want to actually take advantage of public school sports will eventually fall on all homeschool families." Historically, this has never happened. Not a single state has added to the burdens of all homeschool families after giving access to sports.
Myth No. 3: "If our kids can't play sports on public school teams, they will never be able to play sports at all." In some states where homeschoolers do not have access to public school sports, homeschool parents or organizations have risen to the call to provide sports opportunities. There is even a national group, Home School Sports Net.
Myth No. 4: "It will cause lots of problems if we let homeschoolers play public school sports." I have sat through many legislative hearings where this concern has been voiced, but not once have I heard of an actual problem that any state experienced after giving homeschoolers access to sports. In practice, things run quite smoothly when homeschoolers play public school sports.
The Pros: Arguments for Access to Sports
Possible Pro 1: For a few homeschool students, like Tim Tebow from Florida, being able to play on a public school sports team creates an open door to college and professional sports while being able to keep the benefits of homeschooling.
Possible Pro 2: Some families quit homeschooling every year because their kids want to play public school sports. Some of those families might continue homeschooling if they could have both. And some families might switch from public to homeschool if they knew their kids could still play sports.
Possible Pro 3: For some homeschool students, the reward of being able to play sports might motivate them to treat their homeschool studies very seriously.
Possible Pro 4: It gives public school coaches and students a chance to rub shoulders with awesome homeshooled kids. It spreads the message that homeschooling is a great option.
The Cons: Arguments against Access to Sports
Possible Con 1: If a homeschool student develops many friends on a public school team, he might pressure his parents to go all the way and just enroll him in the public school. Putting a child in the radically atheistic public school system for sports could send the child a message that public schools are OK despite their hostility toward faith.
Possible Con 2: The team and coach will influence the faith, morality, habits, and attitudes of the homeschool student. This influence will probably be in a direction different from the way his parents have been rearing him.
Possible Con 3: Some sports programs designed just for homeschoolers in Wisconsin might collapse if students can opt for public school sports.
Possible Con 4: The simple happiness of enjoying meals and fellowship together as a family can be destroyed by the heavy time demands for practices, meetings, games, and tournaments. At least one parent will spend a lot of time on the road and away from their family hauling the student to all those mandatory events.
HSLDA opposes sports access bills that are a clear and present danger to the freedom of homeschool families. We are currently opposing a sports access bill in New Jersey for this reason. We will track Rep. Thiesfeldt's proposal to make sure it is not amended to become dangerous. However, at this point it does not present a cognizable threat to homeschool freedom in Wisconsin, so we will neither support nor oppose it.
Protect Your Family
If you or someone you know is not a member of HSLDA, will you consider taking a moment today to join or recommend us? Your support enables us to defend individual families threatened by government officials and protect homeschooling freedom for all. Join now.

During World War II (WWII), our country was mobilized for the war effort. Those on the home front were constantly reminded to "make do." Doing without, or finding alternatives to many "necessities," was one way in which people displayed their patriotism. A sack, such as this sugar sack, or a flour, meal or other type of feed sack, took on a new life for many families. Often a special day was set aside in the week or month to wash, bleach, and stitch used sacks into new dresses, pillowcases, quilt backings, and other necessities of life.
