Paul Sheehan makes a good case for not cuddling up to terrorists ("There's nothing overboard about public resentment of moral blackmail", Herald, September 13).
However, those who defend the Howard and Bush line on the issue have constantly sought to cast national security policy as an either-or argument. In this they are aided by some on the left who think they can turn Osama bin Laden and his like into hippies if only they can have a good chat, and by a media always eager to cast any issue as a choice of two extremes.
If Messrs Howard and Bush deserve re-election, they have to prove not just that we have a real and dangerous enemy, but that they have a strategy for dealing with that enemy.
It is becoming clear that US strategy in the Middle East is being guided by Washington insiders who are susceptible to delusion and fantasy. Australia's "strategy" is to do whatever the US tells us. Australians appear to accept this, allowing Mr Howard to escape responsibility for the obvious failure. Ironically, our efforts in Indonesia, where US influence is minimal, have been relatively successful.
Mark Latham's plan to concentrate on our region makes a lot of sense, if only because he won't have the dead weight of our powerful but stupid Republican friends hampering our efforts.
Peter Lloyd, Queanbeyan, September 13.
Paul Sheehan and Alan Anderson ("Labor's enemy is within", Herald, September 13) might preface their arguments by explaining why deciding on the outcome before understanding the situation is to be regarded as a good policy. Commentators such as these celebrate the supposed moral clarity of people such as John Howard, George Bush and Alexander Downer. The rest of us see the same clarity, and doubt its righteousness.
It's time for people of a conservative persuasion to search themselves and ask whether there really is a net gain in our wellbeing by ignorantly - yet steadfastly - antagonising and attacking people of difference. Just stop, take a look at Iraq, then take a look at Afghanistan. All of the righteousness, all of the zeal and clarity was consumed in destruction yet 18-odd months later these people have no basic services because critical infrastructure and security has been destroyed.
"Just war" proponents have again proven to be long on talk and very short on foresight and commitment. The moral blackmail starts with an autocracy that engages Australia and its troops in wars that aren't ours to make. Our democracy needs discussion, debate and dissent - not a cabinet room of white middle-class lawyers ignorantly and anonymously deciding our fate.
David Cumming, Mosman, September 13.
Zachary Abuza claims ("Many heads of jihad hard targets to hit", Herald, September 13) that those having a basic Koranic education can easily make a bomb. Is this because the instructions are written for any literate person to follow, even those with a basic biblical education?
K. El Hassan, Bankstown, September 13.
John Hill (Letters, September 13) feels we should analyse the terrorists' problem before deciding upon a solution. The analysis is complete: the problem is militant Islam as propagated around the world. Quick, John, what's your solution?
Eric Bundock, Ottawa (Canada), September 13.
For all the huffing and puffing over what may or may not constitute a threat to Australia, there is no reason to believe that any party contesting the election wouldn't do what they could to stop war coming to these shores.
The question should really be: is it the best strategy to have all our eggs in the one basket with the US, or would it not be more prudent to seek better relations with all the peoples of the world? The second option may sound more complex, and it is of course, but it's the only way we'll ever put an end to war and terrorism.
Colin Hesse, Marrickville, September 13.
Ways and means to make candidates' debate truly great
Surprise, surprise - another election debate, another draw. It is time for a new format. The contenders for prime minister should be locked in the "Cage of Death" and the one still alive at the end of the one-hour TV program is automatically elected. This way, even if you don't like the result, there is one less politician. Everyone would be happy about that.
Peter Bennett, Nelson Bay, September 13.
It must be disconcerting for Mark Latham to realise he did no better in the great debate than Kim Beazley three years ago.
Ron Elphick, Buff Point, September 13.
Mark Latham's performance in the debate shows Labor was right to pick him as leader. But to vote for him for a safer Australia would be a grave mistake.
Electing Labor to desert the US in Iraq, following Latham's earlier insults to the US President, would place the US alliance at serious risk and leave us alone in this increasingly dangerous part of the world. And Labor's policy would certainly not appease Muslim terrorists. It would ineptly offend both the terrorists and our vital ally.
George Finlay, Byron Bay, September 13.
John Howard, in last night's election debate, constantly referred to the notion of providing parents with a choice in educating their children. Yet how do parents have a choice when one alternative is considerably disadvantaged in terms of resources and is thereby hampered in delivering the most optimum service?
William Burke, Longueville, September 13.
The election debate provided me with little information that I didn't already know from reading the newspaper and watching the news. Why not extend this to individual debates between ministers and their shadows to allow the bones behind each party's policy to be revealed?
Steven Bull, Cooranbong, September 13.
What a boring, controlled debate. I was hoping for at least one heated argument.
Carolyn Wills, Cremorne, September 13.
Mark Latham may well have taken advantage of a ladder of opportunity. He should not forget, however, that he had a few kind mentors to give him a leg up in the first place. Some are not so lucky.
Olwyn Mackenzie, Coffs Harbour, September 13.
Miracles abound on the campaign trail
An internet item regarding John Howard's visit to South Australia today advised that: "He will be joined by Deputy Prime Minister John Anderson and the two men are expected to make a major announcement on water."
Such a feat has a biblical precedent.
Ian Melville, Oakhampton, September 13.
Yesterday I saw the first bumper sticking reading, "Don't blame me, I voted Labor". Is this a record?
Peter Rosier, Annandale, September 13.
Once again, both candidates have written to me. They are such nice chaps, and obviously think so highly of me, that I wish I could vote for both of them. Fortunately, I can achieve the same result by voting for neither.
Tony Turner, Tuross Head, September 13.
Debate omitted the biggest issue of all
Your editorial ("The messy politics of climate change", Herald, September 13) on climate change was timely, particularly in light of the debate between John Howard and Mark Latham. How is it possible that neither the journalists nor the leaders saw fit to address any environmental issues?
With both leaders claiming to be focused on the future, you would think at least one of them might have made some reference to the issue that may ultimately prove more important than any point debated last night.
Patrick Phelan, North Parramatta, September 13.
Someone needs to point out to your editorialist and the scientific sources quoted that the succession of ice ages and warm interglacial periods has been going on for billions of years. The present warming cycle started at the end of the most recent ice age. It is ridiculous to blame this on the activities of human beings in the past 200 years.
Earth has coped with the cycle, but never with the huge population of today. We must stop pouring pollutants into the atmosphere, but we should also be trying to find the real cause of the climate cycle, to predict the extent of the current phase and allow planning to cope with it.
Above all we should be looking for strategies to reverse the population explosion before the planet becomes uninhabitable.
David Knowles, Chittaway Bay, September 13.
Missing the knowledge
Can someone explain to me why students entering high school are virtually compelled to decide what profession they intend to follow in six years by needing to choose what "stream" they will follow, under the guidance of counsellors who seem to be young people who have never had any experience outside the education system?
A broader education base would help the nation by producing generations of citizens with a greater understanding of the world around them.
G.D. Richardson, Port Macquarie, September 13.
About the food chain
Have the politicians and bureaucrats in Canberra gone mad ("Big fish in a small pond", Herald, September 13)?
To allow a fishing vessel that can catch and carry 5000 tonnes of fish in one trip into Australian waters beggars belief.
To go out and catch the mackerel and other small pelagic fish in vast quantities is to kill off the oceanic fishing industry.
These small pelagics are the feed for the migrating fish that the industry and sports fishermen do catch - the bluefin and yellowfin tuna, the marlin, the dolphinfish, and others.
Wipe out these small pelagics and the bigger fish will just disappear.
Have we learnt nothing from the way the northern hemisphere countries wiped out the cod stocks of the North Atlantic or from the way the Peruvians ruined anchovy stocks off their coast, leaving the predators of anchovies to die out slowly of starvation?
Leave the gigantic boats in the docks (preferably the northern hemisphere ones) and encourage the local fishing industry in other ways.
Ross Fyfe, Lane Cove, September 13.
Turning on GPs
Is it time we called general practitioners' bluff by putting real pressure on them to bulk-bill? A few school leavers may choose other careers, but there are thousands eager to join the medical profession who obtain HSC marks just a fraction of a percentage point behind successful applicants.
Norm Neill, Leichhardt, September 13.
How to pay for schools
A statement of a rediscovered truth from Bernie Fraser ("Public debt may pay for road works", Herald, September 13): crucial state and federal infrastructure can actually be paid for via public debt.
Being reminded of truths long buried by fashionable ideology will be hard for Michael Egan to cope with. His whole term as state Treasurer has been based on the fundamentalist belief that the process that built our nation, of borrowing to create the infrastructure of the future, was a huge mistake. He came along to correct that mistake.
The ruin that represents the public school, public transport and public health infrastructure will be his proud legacy to the citizens of NSW.
Les MacDonald, Balmain, September 13.
Classes off course
I agree with Russell Darnley (Letters, September 13) that the decline in the learning of Indonesian, and languages in general, is one of the sad aspects of Australian education in recent decades.
When I was at high school in the 1950s we were made aware that an entry requirement at the University of Sydney was a pass in a modern language at the Leaving Certificate. That meant at least four years of reasonably rigorous language study before we could enter one of Sydney's two universities.
I could also add the sad situation of students choosing business studies rather than geography and economics, universities and schools downgrading classical languages ... and 10 pages later ...
David Morrison, Springwood, September 13.
In remembrance
It is sad and horrifying to read an account of a possible massacre of 107 Australian and 35 Indian soldiers about January 22, 1942 at the Bridge of Parit Sulong in Malaya ("The killing field at The Bridge", Herald, September 13). We should pray the Commonwealth War Graves Commission will investigate this reported atrocity and help erect a suitable monument.
Jack Tilburn, Dee Why, September 13.
Incentive to earn
Why do plans to narrow the gap between rich and poor always entail making the rich poorer and never the poor richer by encouraging them to help themselves rather than waiting for someone to do it for them?
J.D. Harding, Eastwood, September 13.
Balancing the books
Does this huge budget surplus mean we've been paying too much tax? Or has the Government been shortchanging us on essentials?
Mary Boddy, Adamstown Heights, September 13.
Don't lose the meaning
When "man" has been successfully removed from all non-appropriate places, I'll celebrate by drinking a couple of Personhattans.
Tom Wilson, Turramurra, September 13.
With her Germanic-sounding name, I'm surprised Liesel Scholem (Letters, September 13) doesn't know that the origin of the first part of the word "midwife" is from the German "mitt" (meaning "with"); that is, a midwife is the person (of either gender) who stays "with the wife" during birth.
Martyn Yeomans, West Pymble, September 13.
Plastic not so fantastic
Why can you only examine non-functional plastic replicas when shopping for mobile phones?
Paul Farmer, Northbridge, September 13.
It's a family hat-trick
On September 6 my wife, Kylie, gave birth to our second son. The sixth is also my birthday. It's my dad's birthday, too. There must be someone out there who can do better than three successive generations born on the same day, but not many, surely?
Brett Jack, Bonnyrigg Heights, September 13.
Signs of stupidity
Changing speed zones are bad enough, but what are we supposed to make of the sign in Mosman that says, "This is a slow traffic street." Slower than what?
Rosanne Collins, Mosman, September 13.
Give something back
As the pictures of the devastation in Jamaica and Grenada fill the news pages, I think of the many West Indian cricket matches I have enjoyed watching over the years.
Perhaps cricket fans could now repay some of that pleasure if the Australian Cricket Board were to arrange a celebrity cricket match to raise funds for the victims of Hurricane Ivan.
Peter Rylands, Braidwood, September 13.

The rating agency Standard & Poor's has downgraded Venezuela's credit rating, citing the country's political risk as a key weakness.
S&P lowered the country's sovereign currency rating once notch Friday from BB¯ to B+ with a stable outlook.
In a statement, S&P said "changing and arbitrary laws, price and exchange controls, and other distorting and unpredictable economic measures have undermined private-sector investment and hurt productivity," and have weakened Venezuela's economy.
The agency also said uncertainty about the health of Venezuelan President Hugo Chavez has added to the country's economic risks.
Chavez has undergone two rounds of chemotherapy in Cuba to treat a cancerous tumor. In June, Cuban doctors performed surgery on him to remove a tumor. The 57-year-old president has vowed to recover and insists he will seek another six-year term in 2012.
Some information for this report was provided by AFP and Reuters.

This golf drill is called the "Throw Golf Ball Drill". It is a great golf drill feeling how the lower body leads the down swing into impact. This feeling is critical for a great golf swing. This golf drill is to help a player with their downswing sequence. The golf swing is certainly a sequence of body movements, that when done efficiently creates a powerful, accurate and repeatable swing.
I have always taught golf by using other sports. If someone is new to golf, it is likely they played another sport before taking up golf. Most sports use a similar core motion to be effective. Throwing a ball, hitting a tennis forehand, taking a shot in hockey, or hitting a baseball all start their action towards the target or impact with the lower body.
Many golfers start their downswing action with their upper body. This causes many issues that drain power, accuracy and make it much harder to be consistent with ball striking.
If you start your down swing from your shoulders or arms then take a minute as to how you play any other sport. If you don't play any other sports then think of how you would throw a ball as far as you could. Would you use your arm and then step towards your target or would you step first and let the arm follow?
Take a look at the golf drill below and use it to change your sequence by using a motion you are already familiar with...throwing a ball.
I put the images of throwing a ball against hitting a golf shot for a comparison. The key learning is in the lower body. Compare the hips and legs in the images. The upper body
Start this drill by picking up a golf ball in the same hand as the side you play golf. This means that regardless of the hand you throw with, if you play golf from the right side then you must throw with your right hand. If you play left then you must throw left for the drill to be effective. Then stand as if you are going to hit a shot down the fairway. You should look like a baseball pitcher who is going to throw from the stretch.
The next step is to wind up the throw. You should naturally transfer your weight onto the foot farthest from your target. As you can see with the comparison picture I am getting my weight onto my right foot in both pictures. It is accomplished in slightly different ways but the principle is the same.
Stack your weight onto your back foot.
The next move is to step towards the target with your foot closest to the target. When you step forward keep your arm from moving forward. It should stay behind. Your lower body weight should shift to your target side foot while your upper body weight hangs back a little longer. This helps create easy power.
You can see that my weight is on my left side and and my hips are rotating towards the target. However, my back is still facing the target a little and that my arm is just about to come forward. In the golf swing the weight moves to the left side while the club drops into position, with my back still to the target.
Please take special notice of the position of the legs in both pictures. The space between the knees and the rolling off of my right foot towards my left shows that the weight transfer is the same for both types of motion.
Now throw that ball as far/hard as you can down the range, fairway, football field, in your house/office or wherever you are practicing this drill. You should finish your throwing motion with all your weight on your target side foot, with your other foot up on its toe and with your hips facing the target.
You can see in the swing picture how the hips are facing the target, the weight is on the target side foot and the back side foot is up on it's toe.
This golf drill is a great drill for getting the right feeling of the lower body action to start the downswing and into impact and the finish position.
If you are working on your game and are having a hard time getting the feel for the lower body action in your golf swing, then simply pick up a ball and throw it down the range. You will be amazed how quickly the feeling of the proper hip and leg action will come back.
I hope you find this drill helpful in developing your game. All the best with your practicing and playing. I hope you continue to find www.free-golf-lessons.com helpful as you strive to reach your golf goals.

Yesterday was a day of highs and lows. If you have read the following posts you will know about the field of remembrance we created, which was destroyed by a vandal overnight.
As a class, we were gutted, upset, mystified and sad. We couldn't believe that someone had destroyed a place to commemorate the soldiers who gave their lives representing NZ in many wars.
The reason I was so proud of Room 10 is that despite their disappointment they picked up the pieces, fixed what needed to be fixed, and created a new field of remembrance inside of the school. I felt a real sense of togetherness amongst the members of the class, we had overcome the obstacles in our way and together we were prepared for our service. This is our second field.
After that, they then ran a beautiful, touching Anzac service. The students wrote and presented the service. It started with a welcome by hosts Jackson and Jayda, followed by the National Anthem. After that Evahn and Hunter spoke about the significance of Anzac day. They shared their learn of what had happened in the Gallipoli campaign. Next we sang the Māori hymn, He Honore. After that, Rose shared the story of her Great-Grandfather's experiences in World War One. You can read about it on Rose's blog here. This was followed up with the Last Post, a minutes silence, followed by the reading of Laurence Binyon's poem For the Fallen, read first in Māori by Zoe, followed in English by Aryan. After the playing of Reveille, the service was finished. The sense of the occasion was strong in the service, with the appropriate silence and contemplation. The rest of the students who joined us followed our lead.
The service was a result of the class' learning, but more than that I think the students were experiencing the emotions and sense of loss that accompanies an Anzac commemorations.
Room 10, you were wonderful in every way.
Hover over the photos below to see each one. Thank you, Leigh for your photography.

Jay Cutler, welcome to fatherhood. I'd like to tell you it's all teddy bears and precious smiles and that fresh-baby smell, but I'd be lying. And I don't want to do that to you, Jay.

Irony Alert: An astroturf "milennial" group affiliated with "Fix the Debt," touted as "a voice for our generation" nobly fighting "reckless spending" and funded by a few slimy deficit-obsessed billionaires whose idea of "fiscal sanity" is cutting Social Security and Medicare, has almost gone broke. Leaked internal documents from "The Can Kicks Back" show a group funded by rich old white guys is struggling to survive and thus prove it's not a group funded buy rich old white guys.
Also: For anyone wondering if these rich old white guys ever learn anything from their misguided history, an update from Tom 'Kristallnacht' Perkins, who's now saying the rich should get more votes and what they worry about is economic extinction. Devoutly to be wished.

Vizio LCD HeadphonesAt CES 2010, Brian Tong takes a look at the Vizio LCD Headphones.
[ Music ] >> Brian Tong: Brian Tong here at CES 2010. We're here at Vizio, and you normally think about them as producing television sets, but what we have here, this is a concept design for them for headphones. This is a 1.4-inch circular LCD screen [laughs] in the headphones. It has a metal finish. Now, you look at all these kind of logos and designs bumping around. It'll also be able to kind of react to the equalizer in the sound of your tracks as well as the fact that there's going to be USB storage there so you can pump in photos and wear them on your ear. Now, Dr. Dre, he may have the beats, but he got nothing on these. This is, again, a concept, and I can put these on, right guys? Right. Oh. OK. No. They won't, [laughs] they let me, but for CES 2010, I'm Brian Tong with the LCD headphones from Vizio. [ Music ]

Rejection vs. Objection
Rejection is one of the biggest obstacles that sales people stumble over. Learn about rejection versus objection with help from the chief operating officer of American Eagle Financial Services Inc. in this free video clip.
Video Transcript
Welcome. This is Lloyd Lofton. Today, we're gonna talk about rejection or objection, one of the biggest obstacles sales people tend to stumble over. Remember, there's only four basic objections in almost any sales situation. If you think about any objections you've ever received, haven't they always fallen into one of these four categories? No money, no need, no hurry, and no confidence. Once you know what the objections are, which we already know, then you can build your sales presentation around handling the objections before they come out. Remember, the same reasons people will buy, I mean, the same reasons people won't buy are the same reasons they will buy. They do have the money. They do have the need. They wanna get it started now, and they do have confidence in you and your company. So, remember, questions gather information, and objections disclose information. If you don't get your customer to object, you may never know the reason they didn't buy from you. So, ask WH questions: what, why, when, where, who and how, so that they give you the objections that you can use to turn them into buying signals.

The Mets traded Ryan Church to the Atlanta Braves for Jeff Francoeur. Take it away, George Takei!
I guess the Mets aren't actually interested in being in the NL East race long enough to choke it away, so they swapped a perfectly good outfielder for a perfectly bad outfielder. Take a look at both players' Wins Above Replacement (WAR) throughout their careers.
Without adjusting for replacement level, Francoeur has been worth -0.6 runs over his career, accounting for both batting and fielding runs. That's not wins; it's runs. Roughly 10 runs translates into one win. Church has been worth about positive 41 runs, or about four wins, in his career.
The trade doesn't really make the Braves a whole lot better but they do address their big weakness: outfield offense. The Mets… well, it will be odd to watch them piss away their post-season hopes before September. Kind of like how it was odd to see Mike Schmidt finish with less than 30 HR in 1988 after nine straight seasons of 30+ dingers.

A MOTORCYCLE is a bicycle with a pandemonium attachment and is designed for the special use of mechanical geniuses, daredevils and lunatics.
The motorcycle is equipped with a motor small enough to be put in a large pocket and loud enough to fill a coliseum comfortably. This motor is connected with the rear wheels of the bicycle, and when it is in the mood will revolve the wheel with tremendous speed, thus causing the bicycle to proceed from hither and yon over buggies, pedestrians, fences and small outbuildings.

Top 25: No. 1 NDSU, No. 2 MSU, No. 3 ODU, No. 4 Wofford lose
Box Score
FARGO, N.D. -- Johnny Towalid returned two interceptions for touchdowns and Indiana State beat North Dakota State 17-14, ending the Bison's 10-game winning streak.
Towalid picked off a pass by Brock Jensen and went 27 yards for a score in the second quarter to give Indiana State a 10-3 lead. He did it again early in the fourth quarter, scoring from 31 yards to make it 17-6 Sycamores.
Jensen scored on a 1-yard run with 9:56 to play and also made the 2-point conversion to get NDSU within three points. Jensen's third interception, by Larry King, ended the Bison's best shot after that.
Shakir Bell ran for 111 yards for the Sycamores (5-2, 3-1 Missouri Valley), who have won three straight conference road games for the first time in their 27 years in the MVC.
The defending FCS champion Bison (5-1, 2-1) were coming off a 48-7 win against Youngstown State last week.
Villanova 38, No. 3 Old Dominion 14 -- Box Score
NORFOLK, Va. -- Trailing 14-0 barely five minutes into the game, Villanova blanked Old Dominion from then on while scoring five touchdowns to rout the Monarchs 38-14 Saturday in Colonial Athletic Association play.
The Wildcats (5-2, 3-1), facing a prolific passing attack, surrendered two early touchdowns to Old Dominion (5-1, 2-1). It took the Monarchs four plays and 67 seconds to score on Taylor Heinicke's 17-yard pass to Nick Mayers. It was 14-0 after he hit Kirk Spellman for a 47-yard touchdown. Villanova then scored 38 unanswered points.
Villanova rushed for 376 yards, 189 by John Robertson, who scored three touchdowns and passed for 151 yards, including a 44-yard score to Norman White. Old Dominion rushed for 111 yards.
The Wildcats nearly doubled the Monarchs in time of possession (39:56 to 20:04).

No. 7 Georgia Southern 17, No. 4 Wofford 9 -- Box Score
STATESBORO, Ga. -- Dominique Swope rushed for two touchdowns and 137 yards to lead the throwback Georgia Southern offense, which netted all of its 265 yards on the ground and didn't attempt a single pass, as the Eagles beat Wofford 17-9 Saturday.
The Eagles (5-1, 4-1 Southern Conference) came in second nationally in rushing offense at 437 yards per game -- they've thrown just 33 passes all season -- but performed well under their average mark and still secured the win. Wofford totaled just 17 fewer yards than the Eagles, and also forced the game's only turnover, but were just 4-for-15 on third down.
The Terriers (5-1, 3-1) were up 6-0 in the second quarter before Swope's 4-yard TD rush gave Georgia Southern a 10-6 lead before halftime. The Eagles led the rest of the way, getting a 3-yard TD from Swope in the fourth to pad the advantage.
No. 5 James Madison 27, William & Mary 26 -- Box Score
HARRISONBURG, Va. -- Dae'Quan Scott ran for a 3-yard touchdown for James Madison in the second overtime, and William & Mary couldn't convert the two-point attempt after answering with a score, sealing the Dukes' 27-26 win Saturday.
After Scott's score put the Dukes (5-1, 3-0 Colonial Athletic Association) up 27-20, Raphael Ortiz tossed a 7-yard touchdown pass to Tre McBride on William & Mary's turn in the second overtime to pull within one. But the Tribe (2-5, 1-3) opted to go for two and Ortiz's pass attempt failed, sealing the win for James Madison.
The teams traded field goals in the first overtime after William & Mary's Drake Kuhn kicked a 39-yarder, the only score of the fourth quarter, to send the contest into OT.
Scott had two TDs on 69 rushing yards. James Madison's Justin Thorpe threw for 157 yards with a TD and an interception, while also rushing for 106 yards.
No. 6 Eastern Washington 27, No. 2 Montana State 24 -- Box Score
BOZEMAN, Mont. -- Eastern Washington's Evan Day scored on a blocked punt and Jordan Tonani scored on an interception return early in the fourth quarter to give the Eagles a 27-24 win Saturday against Montana State.
The plays occurred 59 seconds apart and gave the Eagles a 27-17 lead.
Montana State scored with 2:38 to play on a 2-yard pass from DeNarius McGhee to John Ellis and got the ball back with 1:38 to go, but turned it over on downs at its own 23 after three straight sacks by the Eastern Washington defense.
Montana State (6-1, 3-1 Big Sky) took a 10-3 lead at halftime, but McGhee's first pass attempt was intercepted by Ronnie Hamlin. Eastern Washington (5-1, 4-0) then scored 10 consecutive points on a Jimmy Pavel 39-yard field goal and a 33-yard pass from Vernon Adams to Quincy Forte to go up 13-10.
No. 8 Sam Houston State 41, Nicholls 0 -- Box Score

Midway through the third quarter, Sam Houston State had 187 net yards rushing to zero for Nicholls State. The margin ended up 261-20. Ridgeway Frank completed the scoring for the Bearkats with a 5-yard touchdown run in the fourth quarter.
No. 16 Illinois State 35, No. 9 Youngstown State 28 -- Box Score
NORMAL, Ill. -- Matt Brown threw for three touchdowns and ran for one more as Illinois State made a comeback to beat Youngstown State 35-28 on Saturday afternoon.

THE BRONX — Bronx residents eager to cool off from steaming temperatures flocked to the borough's public pools on Thursday, when they officially opened for the summer season.
Swimmers were greeted with blues skies and a high of 88 degrees. Pools opened just in time, as a heat wave is expected to hit the city this weekend, with temperatures in the low to mid-90s predicted for Friday and Saturday.
"It's keeping me refreshed," said 20-year-old Alberto Reyes, as he lounged poolside with friends at Mullaly Park Pool, near Yankee Stadium. "Better than being out in the heat."
Bronx student Travis Rackley, 16, was celebrating the end of his school year — the last day for public schools was Wednesday.
"I'm working all summer," said Rackley, who got a job with the Police Athletic League through the city's Summer Youth Employment Program. "I just came here to get a little break."
The Bronx is home to 10 city-run pools, from the Van Cortlandt Park Pool in the borough's northwest corner to the "Floating Pool Lady," a seven-lane pool on a barge that's docked at Barretto Point Park in the South Bronx.
The line of people waiting to get into Claremont Park Pool on Wednesday afternoon snaked around the side of the building. But pool-goers say it's worth the wait, since the pools have no entry free and many offer things like free lunches for kids, swim lessons and other amenities.
"It's not like other pools," said Elijah Caraballo, 12, who was waiting to get into the Claremont pool. "They really care about your safety."
His mother, Amaris Obando, said they'll usually show up an hour and half before the pool opens to get in line.
"I'll bring a book and the kids will play in the park, and when it's time, we'll get refreshed," she said.
"They keep the pool really clean and the people who run the pool are local — you see them every year, they know you and you know them," she said. "We always look forward to it. It's a blessing."

Mills ("Thumbsucker") will bow "Does Your Soul Have a Cold?," a documentary exploration of the evolving state of mental-health care in Japan.
Cumming's directorial effort "Suffering Man's Charity," a dark comedy about love and artistic ambition, also will have its world preem at the fest.
Judd Apatow's relationship comedy "Knocked Up," set for release from Universal, will have its first major festival unspooling in the Spotlight Premieres section. (A cut of the movie previously screened at Harry Knowles' "Butt-Numb-a-Thon" fest.)
Scott Frank's bank-heist thriller "The Lookout" will open the event; Miramax is releasing the movie later in the month. Closing pic should be announced by next week, fest organizers said.
Among the special events is a panel with Robert Rodriguez that will feature footage from his part of the upcoming Weinstein Co. film "Grindhouse," as well a trailer competition that he will judge.
Notable docs at the fest include Dollan Cannell's "638 Ways to Kill Castro," about the many assassination attempts against the Cuban leader; Katy Chevigny's "Election Day," a verite account of voters in the 2004 presidential election; "Doubletime," an exploration of the culture of competitive jump-roping; and anti-consumerism pic "What Would Jesus Buy," produced by Morgan Spurlock.
In the feature department, Jamie Babbit's satire "Itty Bitty Titty Committee," Ryan Eslinger's midlife-crisis pic "When a Man Falls in the Forest" and "Blackbird," playwright Adam Rapp's tale of a Gulf War vet set in the '90s, will play in competition.
Previous fest players such as "All the Boys Love Mandy Lane" and "The Ten" also will unspool.
SXSW has been increasing its industry profile of late, becoming a more important launching pad for spring pics. Last year fest opened with Picturehouse release "The Prairie Home Companion" and closed with "American Idol" spoof "American Dreamz."
Credit-card doc "Maxed Out," which sold to Magnolia, Netflix's Red Envelope and Truly Indie, was one of several surprise finds for buyers at the festival.

The latest and greatest on CNN iReport, brought to you by Team iReport.
One by one, the trapped Chilean miners are reaching the surface and rushing into the arms of their relieved family members. iReporters all over the world have been watching on TV, captivated by the emotional rescue effort.
Maria Collocott of George, South Africa, has been glued to the rescue efforts for hours on end – just today she's watched 12 hours of coverage. She's been praying for all the miners and their families and calls the rescues a real miracle.
"I always said what a terrible thing to happen to someone. I think I would have gone out of my mind if it was my husband or brother down there," she said.
David Hagen and 76 of his classmates in Moss, Norway, have been watching the miners being rescued all day live on CNN. The 18-year-old says students made an agreement with the school that if they watch all day, they're going to have to make up class next weekend and on some nights.
"It's horrible what happened but it's great that they can be saved now, that they don't have to stay down there anymore," he said.
In Madrid, 3-year-old Inés Castillo Pike was curious why her parents were glued to the TV. Her mother, Natasha, used a paper towel roll with Prince Charming inside to explain the rescue process.
"We decided to make the connection to the miners in Snow White and the Seven Dwarfs," Natasha said. "We explained how the miners were really, really far underground, and then we proceeded to explain to her what they were doing to get them up because there was an accident."
Eilhard Molina says his entire neighborhood in Santo Domingo, Dominican Republic, was watching the rescue effort last night. While he was moved by the rescue operation, he said his mother's excitement was hard to match.
She rejoiced when the second miner, Mario Sepulveda Espinace – who has the same name at her late father – was rescued. "She was happy and it was really special seeing her like that. She got to remember her father and I got to share in some of that," he said.
It's been overwhelming and moving to see all these emotional responses coming in from every corner of the world. A collective sigh of relief seems to emanate from the newsroom and from you as well every time a miner is rescued. We'd love you to continue sharing your reactions and be part of this story.
Last night, I watched the first 7 rescues online; today I have been watching since the 17th. God has certainly had a BIG hand in all of this.
First, they said it would be likely Christmas before the miners were rescuable. God had OTHER plans. Then, they said, one miner an hour. God had OTHER plans. He is showing out as much now as He did with Daniel in the Lion's Den... different situation but just as impactful. May He use this to HIS glory!!
I just want to than CNN for this wonderfull coverage in Chile. I loved it when our President was holding a speech on how the USA did everything and went to some women about something and you quickly turned back to this nation with its tragic unfolding. God bless everyone in Chile and thank you CNN for such coverage!
truly incredible coverage. Every time there is something important going on in the world CNN is there delivering world class reporting and the world is watching. Thank you.
Thank you CNN for covering this. Each rescue brings tears to my eyes. I thought the news would be covering this dramatic event but I was wrong. Thank you CNN.
Thanks CNN! What a great story about the human spirit, wih everything wrong in the world today it is nice to see an uplifting story. Thanks for reminding us that humanity is alive and well. :)
wWHY THE HELL ARE YOU SHOWING A POLITICAL DISCUSSION .WHEN THE RESCUE IN CHILE IS CLOSE TO FINISHING . JLW
Agree with the comment about covering a political discussion when we have world changing news to see. At least they finally went to the live feed.
I have a question - how does the last rescue worker lock the door to the rescue tank so he can be taken up the shaft safely?
God bless the miners, and the rescuers! What a tremendously happy ending! What a great show of the positive human spirit!
Im waiting for the Hateful comments about Hispanics. Well??
No god is nor was required for this rescue - how about the determination of hundreds upon hundreds of professionals, geologists, miners, planners, logistics coordinators, doctors, psychologists, telecomunications specialists, consultants, etc - wanting to bring this potential tragedy to a successful conclusion, compounded by the resiliance of the human desire to survive and overcome adversity - a believable miracle would have been enough prayer to have the mountain magically part and the miners simply walk out (Cecil B. Demille-style) - didn't quite happen that way, did it? It came down to hard work, dedication, determination, ingenuity, and a deep love & respect for fellow human beings in great need - please give credit where it is really due, last I heard the world is no longer flat
Job Well done
just amazing!! my mum and i watched nearly all of the rescue on tv together over the phone, god bless the miners and their families and the rescuers are real heroes as well just amazing,well done,
Chi Chi Chi Le Le Le !!!
I watched the live feed last night when the first man came up, had the story in background on my work computer all day and watched the last man and the rescuers come up tonight. This was a real inspiration. The people of Chile have much to be proud of. What a triumph.
I cried many tears as each miner came up to the surface. God Bless the President of Chile and his Wife.Thank you CNN for letting us be a part of such a marvelous human story.I'm a Texan, but I sure think Chile would be a great place to live.Now go celebrate your miracle,and I hope someday I can come visit you fantastic people.I pray all the miners can get their lives back in order and live happily ever after. God's Speed :)
Such an awe inspiring process and outcome.
Bravo to every miner, their families, and the rescuers.
Thank you CNN for GREAT coverage of this amazing rescue, the translation of the video feed to English (I'm in the state of Louisiana, USA) was especially appreciated.
I applaud president Pinera, and his wife, for staying and greeting each miner and rescuer, as they emerged from the rescue capsule, with a huge smile and bear hug.
We can all breath a sigh of relief and, as president Pinera said after putting the lid over the hole, now we can all get a well deserved rest ...
Newafan77 should try telling his theory to the miners.
I watched most of this.. What I'm a little disturbed over is this thing that God did this.. This was science, men who worked hard, machinery that bore the hole. Come on folks, this is not the time to play with fairy tales... Nice job to those who worked hard and had the brains to do this incredible job..
I watched the wonderful tear of human rescue effort at the CNN International Live since last night from COPIAPO, Chile. "Mision Cumplida Chile" Congrats to All Chilean Miners and also one Miner is from Bolivia has been rescued tonight. I also saluted to the Chilean President Mr. Pinera Sabastian with his wife has been waiting for in front of the rescue transportation, until all the miners have been rescued safely. All of them suddenly became the world television reality stars. But, also please, let the world should concern to the mining impact to the environment. Thank you to all CNN reporters.
Just the fact that the miners were alive after about two weeks the mine collapsed is a miracle, Mr. Newfan77
I'm Chilean and I am very proud that there are still people that believe in God without the necessity of an angel appearing to them...
Then Jesus told him, "Because you have seen me, you have believed; blessed are those who have not seen and yet have believed." (John 20:29) :o)
..and I also believe my brain was created by God..Mr.notarrogant
Science (especially geology and engineering) along with education, perseverance, and work experience got those miners up. Don't take away from the people's accomplishment of getting to those miners by saying God had other plans, humans figured out how to get down there. It is truly unlikely and amazing all 33 came out after all this time, we should be celebrating human achievement.
well said newsfan77. Where were the miracles when miners got trapped before we had developed this technology? Why didn't god just prevent the collapse in the first place?
I hate Gringos! They should mind their own business. Im still waiting for the Hateful comments posted against hispanics....Well??
Kudos to all who helped this rescue turn out as successfully as it did. I suspect a lot of people have worked some long, stressful hours to pull this off. Well done!
I wonder how much the media is making on this story, yes its a remarkable job what they have done in reporting the misfurtune of this poor miners. Imagine how horrible has to be to know that a love one is nburried alive and you cant do absolutly nothing to save them? I realy dont want to feel that. Would have had the media spend so much in covering this story if there was no profits?
raq, dude, chill out! Why would anyone post hateful comments about anyone here (including 'gringos')? In case you didn't notice the whole world has been watching this and are mightily impressed with what the Chileans have accomplished here, and mighty impressed with the trapped miners, who showed incredible mental and physical fortitude in a bad situation. May I be as tough if ever trapped like that.
So you see, raq, there are no Hispanics and Gringos here, at least not in my mind, just people.
Last night, I watched the first 7 rescues online; today I have been watching since the 17th. God has certainly had a BIG hand in all of this.
KuraKimanna quote
First, they said it would be likely Christmas before the miners were rescuable. God had OTHER plans. Then, they said, one miner an hour. God had OTHER plans. He is showing out as much now as He did with Daniel in the Lion's Den... different situation but just as impactful. May He use this to HIS glory!![/quuote]
Nice ending and happy all the miners were brought out alive. But where was your god for the thousands of miners around the world that have died in mining accidents?
Give your god big time fail for those past fallen and entombed.
To lilian0121 - nice to hear that you are also Chilean, as am I - (orgulloso hasta las patas de serlo, de ahi podremos intercambiar RUNes para comprobarlo), recall General George Patton's great quote "if everybody is thinking in the same manner, it can only mean that nobody is really thinking" - please recognize the reality of today's advances in technology and science, and don't get left behind in bronze age beliefs - had this rescue taken place 4000 years ago in Greece, would you be thanking Zeus? or Odin if had taken place in Scandinavia? But no, this was, as other postings have recognized, a recognition of the power of human achievement and sound planning, with a healthy serving of determination - you may keep your dark ages beliefs and should this ever happen again (and we all hope it never does - EVER), 1.000.000 people may pray but 10 will grab shovels and dig - guess who will get there first? - I'll grab a shovel and help dig to rescue my fellow person any day :)
If you see the hand of God guiding the events of this rescue, that's your choice. But please don't let that take away from the efforts of the humans that have worked around the clock, with little sleep, overcoming obstacle after obstacle, with the whole world watching to pull these men out. The miners were not rescued because God willed it so; they were rescued because humans willed it so. The people involved in the rescue valued human life enough to sustain the sheer magnitude of the engineering project it took to save it. So please, give thanks. But give thanks to the humans first. Then go ahead and thank any deity you want.
We kept wake to tell the story
We boost out into tears to share the emotions
We thank God for this miracle.
Long live the bravery of the Chile miners
Long live the recue team
Long live all those who have been praying for a miracle like this to occur.
To God be the Glory.
Eliza Ebude- Cameroon
GOD really performs miracles. Not only were all of the miners rescued, but they all appeared to be healthy: physically, emotionally, and mentally. After 69 days in a grave half a mile deep, that is truly miraculous.
As I watched the rescue yesterday I was in awe of how a country could come together, share a sense of pride, spirituality, and a president who genuinely seemed supportive without negativity or placing blame. Instead of putting himself in the middle. It made me sad, for whatever reason, we can not be proud to be Americans, say anything positive about God or religion without being blasted. And our President would not have carried himself with the same grace and humility.
I am very impressed with the response of Chile, including the fact that they were willing to tap the best minds in the world, no matter the country of origin, to get the job done right, which they did.
I agree with the comment that we should have given the BP cleanup to them, also, with regard to the God question, I, too, wonder why the other miners in other accidents were not rescued, no answers.
Now, with respect to NOTARROGANT, please note that despite the comment that the men did such a great job, please note there were WOMEN working on the project as well, if truly not arrogant would have acknowledged that as well, as so many other comments have.
I have to agree with MegaMatt55 and Nancydancer. God has certainly performed miracles in the past, but he is not choosing to show his power in that way at this time. This rescue is a result of men and women who put their own needs aside to help out their fellow man. By doing this, they did GLORIFY God, in whose image we are all made, but if we believe that God miraculously rescued these miners, then we have to wonder why He didn't miraculously rescue other miners in the past, miners whose families were most certainly praying for a miracle.
This event inspired me. It should have inspired everyone. Some, though, were mainly inspired to make it yet another excuse to attack the president. Can't miss one of those opportunities! Others were inspired to use it as a chance to promote Feminism. God forgive us if the word "women" doesn't appear in every blessed sentence. We might think there were no women there! We missed a few. How about homosexuality? The Health Care Program? Racism? All aboard! It's back to Earth now, back to the petty, moronic, self-absorbed world we have created for ourselves. (Spits on ground.) We are not worthy to sit on the same toilet seat as the people who made this rescue possible.

Furthering God's Work -
Locally and Globally
Every mission needs financial support. There are many ways you can financially support The Fellowship. No matter how you give, you are furthering God's work - locally and globally.
Witnessing revolves around people. But your financial contributions put us into position to witness widely to those who need it, and your donations keep the church operating daily. We have several options for giving to make it convenient and simple.
The Fellowship is accredited by the Evangelical Council for Financial Accountability (ECFA). The ECFA provides accreditation to leading Christian non-profit organizations that faithfully demonstrate compliance with established standards for financial accountability, transparency, fundraising and board governance. With this accreditation, The Fellowship has shown transparency, accountability and wisdom in using your donations.
Give Online
There are several benefits to online giving:
• Faithfully honoring God – The Bible teaches that we are to honor God with the "First Fruits" of our labor (Proverbs 3:9). By setting up a recurring contribution that comes out of your account on a specified day each month, you ensure that your First Fruits are faithfully given back to God.
• Simplicity – You won't have to remember whether you gave this month or send in an offering by mail.
• Security – Online giving is more secure than giving with a check or cash because an electronic gift can't be lost or stolen. We utilize an encrypted, secure website for your online records.
• Focus – Instead of having to worry about writing a check and filling out an envelope during the service, you can be fully focused on the worship service, knowing you have already given your offering.
Automated Bank Bill Pay
Automated bank bill pay is the easiest and most effective way to automate your giving. Once it is set up, you can update or change your giving at any time simply by changing the amount on your bank's website. If you are not currently using bill pay, contact your bank or see your bank's website to set up bill pay.
With bill pay, there are no processing fees, so 100% of your gift goes to the ministries of The Fellowship.
Appreciated marketable securities are a great way to maximize your giving because you receive an immediate income tax deduction for the full fair market value of your securities. And, you pay no capital gains tax on the difference between your cost and the fair market value.
Contact Holly Rosenquist for more information on giving stocks/bonds/securities to The Fellowship.
Tithes and Offerings
Financial giving at The Fellowship can generally be divided into two categories: tithes and offerings. The Bible teaches us that we worship the Lord with our tithe, which is 10% of our income contributed to the church on a regular basis. When we feel called to give over and above our tithe, we do so as an offering.
Use your smart phone and text your donation.
Decide where you want to target your donation (see below). Send a text to 28950, and type the keyword corresponding to your given fund, a space and the amount you wish to give. You will receive a text response for your name, address and account information for one-time registration. An email confirmation will be sent to confirm your donation. Next time, you simply send a text with the amount – and it's complete.

• TFTO = Tithes and Offerings

• TFAC = Advent Conspiracy
Contact Holly Rosenquist for assistance with Text2Give.
The ministry of The Fellowship is funded by God's provision through the tithes and offerings of faithful Fellowship members and attendees. At The Fellowship, we honor God's provision by exercising wise and faithful stewardship, ethical business practices and full accountability so that the financial integrity of The Fellowship remains beyond reproach.
Our mission is facilitated through our system of internal controls over financial reporting and our internal budgeting and reporting processes. Members of The Fellowship may request a copy of our most recent financial statements or ask general questions about our financial practices at any time by contacting Dave Trout by email or at the church office, 281-395-3950.
A Note about Credit Cards
While we allow the use of credit cards for tithes and offerings, we still strongly encourage the use of electronic funds transfer rather than credit card for two primary reasons:
• Although many pay off their credit cards each month, many also do not. As a church, we are here to nourish your whole life, and you going into debt to donate to the church is self-defeating. We want you to support our mission because you believe in it and because you can – we would never encourage you to go into debt and pay interest to donate to The Fellowship.
• When using a credit card, 3% or more of your gift can go to the credit card company.
Online Giving Privacy Policies
Your information is held securely by the Fellowship One system. This information will remain private and will never be given away to third parties. If you have concerns related to privacy, please contact Dave Trout.
