Late last year we asked you, our loyal customers and keen bibliophiles, to name the greatest living female author. We knew J.K. Rowling would lead the votes after the final count, which she did by a country mile, but it was intriguing to see who would be next.
In short, it was Canada who ran closest to the Harry Potter creator, with Margaret 'Peggy' Atwood at No. 2 and Alice Munro at three. American Toni Morrison was in fourth place.
Rowling, Atwood, Munro and Morrison garnered the vast majority of the votes between them and there was some distance between them and Joyce Carol Oates, who is followed by Harper Lee, Joan Didion and Zadie Smith. Hilary Mantel and Barbara Kingsolver round out the top 10. Lee makes the list with just a single book to her name, To Kill a Mockingbird published in 1960.
Customers could vote for any living female writer, regardless of genre or standing or her number of published works, so this list is broad and stretches from bestsellers you find by the supermarket checkout to Nobel Prize winners and authors whose books are studied in universities. A number of these authors have been writing for decades and we should applaud the likes of Atwood, Morrison, Munro, Oates, Ursula Le Guin, Penelope Lively and PD James for their ability to regularly produce books that people want to read.

The Houston Dynamo (3‐1‐0; 9 points) travel to the Pacific Northwest to face the Portland Timbers (0‐1‐3; 3 points) at JELD‐ WEN Field on Saturday night. Houston earned a 2‐0 win over the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday through goals from Will Bruin and Giles Barnes. The Timbers erased a 2‐0 halftime deficit behind two goals from Will Johnson for a 2‐2 draw at Colorado. Saturday marks Houston's second trip to Portland since the Timbers joined MLS in 2011 and the only meeting between the clubs this season.
REF: Ricardo Salazar. SAR (bench): Ian Anderson; JAR (opposite): Mike Kampmeinert; 4th: Alejandro Mariscal MLS Career: 162 games; FC/gm: 26.9; Y/gm: 3.5; R: 47; pens: 58
HOUSTON DYNAMO -- OUT: Calen Carr – Left knee; Will Bruin - Left hamstring strain
- ALL-TIME (3 meetings): Timbers 0 wins, 1 goal ... Dynamo 2 wins, 4 goals ... Ties 1
- AT PORTLAND (1 meeting): Timbers 0 wins, 0 goals ... Dynamo 1 win, 2 goals ... Ties 0
- This is the only league meeting between the teams this season.
- The Timbers have yet to defeat the Dynamo since coming into MLS. A year ago, the teams played to a scoreless draw at BBVA Compass Stadium; Houston won both meeting in Portland's inaugural MLS season of 2011.
- Coaches record: Dominic Kinnear vs. POR: P3 W2 L0 D1... Caleb Porter vs. HOU: first game
The Houston Dynamo tied the MLS record for the longest home undefeated streak, getting two first-half goals for a 2-0 win against the San Jose Earthquakes on Saturday evening at BBVA Compass Stadium. The Dynamo are in second place in the Eastern Conference with 9 points from 4 matches.
- The Dynamo controlled the match from the outset and took the lead in the 21st minute. Boniek García nutmegged a defender on the right and sent in a low pass, where Will Bruin took no time in slotting home a professional finish.
- The home side doubled the lead just before the first half ended. Freed on the left flank, Brad Davis lifted a teasing cross that drew San Jose goalkeeper Jon Busch off his line, only to be beaten by a streaking Giles Barnes, who thumped home a header from the heart of the area.
- Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear made three changes to the team that recorded a 2-1 win against Vancouver Whitecaps FC. Jermaine Taylor, Boniek Garcia and Brad Davis all returned from international duty, in place of Eric Brunner, Warren Creavalle and Andrew Driver.
- HOUSTON DYNAMO (4-1-3-2): Tally Hall - Kofi Sarkodie, Jermaine Taylor, Bobby Boswell, Corey Ashe - Adam Moffat - Boniek Garcia, Ricardo Clark, Brad Davis (Andrew Driver 77) - Giles Barnes (Brian Ching 70), Will Bruin (Cam Weaver 83).
With the victory, the Dynamo extended their home undefeated streak to 34 games over all competitions,
matching the MLS record set by Real Salt Lake.
"You don't get anything for it," Dynamo head coach Dominic Kinnear said. "You don't get a T-shirt or a hat or a
ring for it. You get a lot of points and get asked a lot of questions and a lot of satisfaction on a week-to-week basis, but in the end it goes down in a statistical record book. Don't get me wrong, it's a wonderful accomplishment and I'm glad I'm part of the group that's done it, but there is still a lot of stuff to be thought about as well."
- According to the Elias Sports Bureau, in North American professional sports, the 1995-96 NBA Chicago Bulls hold the record with 44 undefeated games at home between March 30, 1995 and April 4, 1996.
- The Dynamo also have the third-longest unbeaten run in league games to open a new facility at 20 games, behind the NBA's Washington Capitols (27, at Uline Arena) and the WNBA's LA Sparks (22, Staples Center).
- Said goalkeeper Tally Hall: "We're obviously aware of it, but the streak is not something we're trying to add to. It's always, 'Let's just get to No. 1.' It's always about the game we're playing that day. When we started the streak we took the same attitude that day that we did today when we came in."
- For the first time this season, the Dynamo scored a goal in the first half – both vs. San Jose coming in the opening 45 minutes. Each of the Dynamo's seven goals in their first five games in all competitions came after the interval, with five coming in the 79th minute or later.
- "I think it puts [the opponents] under pressure and it rewards the guys for their hard work," Kinnear said. "I think every game we step on the field, home or away, I'd like to see the guys impose their will on the other team. It gives you confidence, a boost of energy, when you get the first goal. Then the second goal right before half time was a really good one for us."
- Brad Davis, who was tied for fifth in assists in MLS in 2012 with 12, recorded his first league assist of the new season, setting up the Dynamo's second goal.
- "Everyone knows what an ability Brad has in his left foot," Barnes said. "We just locked eyes and looked at each other. He knew where I wanted it and I just tried to get on the end of it.
- Giles Barnes took over the club's goals lead with his second of the season and his second in as many matches, while strike partner Will Bruin netted his first goal of the season to send the Dynamo on their way in the first half.
- "I think it looks pretty good," Kinnear said of the pairing. "I think there were a couple times in the [San Jose] game where they seemed to be looking for each other, and that comes from playing together more than just throwing them out there for just a game or two."

More Information
"Art first chose me and then I chose art."
My artistic history began when drawing was used as play. Pencil and paper were both the toys and tools that opened the doors of imagination and fantasy. Those early doodles on large sheets of paper were filled with numerous human and animal forms. Elaborate scenes were miniaturized by necessity; simplification of the figure became a personal test of how to manipulate volume, shape and line. In this way I could bring life into these tiny creatures; who became companions in a constantly changing adventure. This activity generated a personal aesthetic which emerged and matured during those childhood strivings to reveal more than the eye could recognize in a simple drawing.
Still as that child, I strive to bring life into art to reveal more for my own eyes as well as for others'.

The production of metal strip by pouring molten steel between two rotating cylinders was first attempted in the 19th century. But it has taken the development of new materials and coatings, and newly acquired expertise in cooling and automation to make the process viable. The technology is now developing at a fast pace worldwide, and pioneer plants are providing first results. Economically, the process is extremely attractive, since smaller amounts of sheet metal can be produced locally and, with a minimum amount of subsequent working, very cost-efficiently.
The process employs two counter-rotating parallel rolls, against who's cooled surfaces the molten steel solidifies. Solidification begins just below the meniscus and shell growth continues as it moves downwards through the melt pool. At the kissing point, the two shells are essentially fused together forming a continuous strip, which then exits the caster downwards. Since the melt pool is small compared to that in conventional casters, the metal delivery has to be treated very carefully and good flow conditions in the melt pool are essential for faultless strip quality. Conventional delivery nozzles cannot be used, as inhomogeneity of flow in the melt pool is reflected in the strip quality. Similarly, the meniscus of the liquid steel must be stable, as any disturbance, wave or vortex at the free surface leads to unstable solidification and defects in the strip.

Does Gwyneth cook on holiday?
Spielberg's yacht is huge. They must have a chef. Who cooks to Gwyneth's specifications? Gwyneth has been on holiday in Italy with her Uncle Morty, her brother, and her children. Chris Martin is performing on the festival circuit with Coldplay.
The body, as you can see, is showcased in several bikinis, very very fit. And, I think, it looks healthy. She looks strong. Needless to say, G doesn't take very many days off. She made use of a treadmill on board. Power walk? Apparently Tracy Anderson doesn't believe in running. She says it adds bulk.
After some time on the boat and in the water, G also went into town to do some shopping. LOVE her dress so much. And Apple! I think we are fighting about Apple. Because Apple to me is going to be beautiful. In a freakish, inaccessible, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley model way. We'll have to wait another 10 years to find out, but that's how I'm calling it. Ok. Now you have something to say. Let's hear it. I can't wait to read your emails.

Mindprocessing by Sam for MAC/VAL
The idea is to map brain activity (imagine a scale of concentration) to a music scale and a color scale.
Mindprocessing was about making these highly intimate datas accessible to everyone in the room in a... pleasant and positive way.
The mindset headset was used for it's auto adaptive capabilities to detect mental state changes. One of eight detected brainwaves, "hIgh gamma" are experimentally related to higher mental state, like concentration, and require little training. To minimize artifacts people experimenting the installation were asked to move as less as possible.
The detected high gamma wave value was transformed in color hue and drove 5 LED projectors using a classic HSL to RGB algorithm. Saturation and Light values were fixed to match surrounding colors. 5 projectors to memorize and display the last 5 second "colored" brain activity. The measured high gamma value was also used to select octave on a previously written music handled in Puredata.
Low concentration = red and low pitch ---> High concentration = purple and high pitch
A video is coming soon. The used software is available on /tmp/bci repository

Every August during my childhood, at the end of a long and lazy Florida summer, my family would take a trip to Wal-Mart. It was Back-to-School Time.
We always went during the sales tax holiday when shoppers were showing no mercy. Armed with school supply lists and two shopping carts, my mother, two brothers, and I would battle other families who were quickly depleting the shelves of anything remotely helpful to scholarly pursuits.
Ballpoint pens, gel pens, erasable pens – who knows why we needed so many versions of the same thing. Regular pencils, mechanical pencils, colored pencils. Scented markers, glowing markers, magic markers. We went home with maybe 60 different tools to write our names with. Not to mention all the back-to-school outfits we bought in the clothing department.
After a few years, my family outgrew the crazy school shopping bonanza, and started minimizing our carbon footprint as a result. We saved some money – and our sanity – in the process. When it comes to school supplies, less can be more. Here are some tips to help your family make it through back-to-school season in one piece.
If you buy too many supplies, your children will probably just end up losing them. I find people's pens everywhere at my university – in couches, on tables and under desks. Take what you need and leave what you don't, and you often find that it's easier to keep track of your belongings.
A fancy $20 precision protractor won't guarantee an A in math. You don't need any sophisticated technology (except the brain) to excel in school, so don't go overboard. Also, every parent is familiar with the year-end discovery of 10 notebooks that were only half written in – help your kids to not carry around more than they need by simplifying their supplies at the start of the year.
Label your children's school supplies with their names. Use pencil boxes to hold pens, pencils, crayons, and markers. Keep a binder with loose-leaf paper inside. All the supplies that don't fit in the pencil box can go into a drawer. The fewer supplies you lose, the less shopping you'll have to do to replace them.
Go for sustainable products made of recycled material or with green certifications. Check out tips from the EPA to practice the "3 Rs" of waste reduction. Pack your kids a no-waste, healthy lunch box. Don't just buy the cheapest stuff so you can buy more of them – especially if they're more likely to fall apart sooner. Look for products that tread lightly on the planet and last longer. You won't need to buy as many.
If you get to the point where your supplies have lasted through an entire school year, congratulations! Remember that "new" does not mean "better." If you still have clothes and supplies come June, they could be good for another season. Continue to use them over the summer and into the next year. You can also pass them on to younger siblings, cousins, or friends who will be starting school.

Samsung Galaxy Tab outsold by iPad on home turfThe iPad's worldwide dominance over its Android counterparts continues, and demand is so strong that recent estimates see the Apple tablet outperforming rival Samsung's Galaxy Tab even in the electronics maker's home market of South Korea.
Since Apple debuted the iPad in Korea in November 2010, the company is estimated to have sold over one million units of the ubiquitous tablet, far more than global electronics giant Samsung's Galaxy Tab, reports The Korea Herald.
The release of the iPad 2 in Korea drove sales to around 700,000 in 2011 alone, and industry sources say that number could be much higher as many consumers bought the device through unmonitored channels before its official April 29 launch.
Local rival Samsung traditionally refrains from releasing sales numbers, but estimates place iPad market share at somewhere between 70 percent and 80 percent for the region.
Two of every three iPads sold in Korea are WiFi models, indicating that users are unwilling to pay monthly carrier fees for 3G data speeds. It is possible that users are waiting for a model that will take advantage of the country's advanced 4G network, as all three of the nation's wireless carriers offer either LTE or WiMAX.
Overall, the iPad saw a 111 percent increase in worldwide sales from December 2010 to December 2011, with revenue jumping 99 percent during the same period. The rough South Korean estimate is but a fraction of the total 11.2 million units sold globally last year.
This is not the first time that an Apple device has outsold a competing product from Samsung in Korea, as November's 200,000 iPhone 4S pre-orders overshadowed a three day Galaxy S II sales total of 120,000 units.
Apple's iPad is dominating the Galaxy Tab in Samsung's home market. | Source: Apple
Apple's dominance in its Korean rival's base of operations is a side note to the two companies' ongoing legal battle that now spans over 10 countries across four continents.
The latest lawsuit was filed last week by Apple in a California court, with the iPad maker seeking to block sales of Samsung's Galaxy Nexus handset over autocorrect and "swipe to unlock" patents.
If successful, the suit may deliver a substantial blow not only to the Galaxy maker, but to the Android platform as well.

**1/2 (out of four)
Remember how you felt watching "The Incredibles" or "Ratatouille" or, most recently in the Pixar canon, "Toy Story 3"? Those movies are funny and moving. You delight in their universe and are sad to leave.
Now, for the third consecutive year (following "Cars 2" and "Brave"), Pixar phones it in with "Monsters University," the, uh, long-awaited prequel to 2001's cute "Monsters Inc." Answering the much-discussed question, "Where did Sully and Mike do undergraduate work before their scaring career?" "MU" returns to the days when Mike (Billy Crystal) still had a retainer and Sully (John Goodman) was an arrogant slacker planning to coast through scaring school on his father's legacy. No dice! Like something out of "Revenge of the Nerds"—in fact, exactly like that—Mike and Sully wind up joining forces with the university's geekiest fraternity to battle the cool kids in the Scare Games, a competition that will determine their fate at the school.
Despite its shocking lack of originality, the gorgeously animated "MU" has its moments. In fact, after the affecting opening in which adolescent, friendless Mike gets his first glimpse of celeb scarers at Monsters Inc., I wrote "totally unnecessary but totally charming" in my notes, hoping that description would apply. The movie is mostly just unnecessary, involving some forgettable supporting assistants and foes and, of course, a cold-hearted dean with a British accent (voiced by Helen Mirren).
Although it has the typical follow-your-dreams-and-be-proud-of-yourself narrative, "Monsters University" scores points with Mike's honorable determination and need to reconcile ambition with reality. (The film, fortunately, is nowhere near as corny as Martin Lawrence and Raven-Symone's "College Road Trip.") Mike really wants to be a scarer, despite looking like Gumby lost a glass eye because it walked away. Once upon a time, this would have allowed Pixar to tickle its imagination and ours, but "Monsters University" is as dully straightforward as it gets.
I spent much of the movie distracted, which did allow me to realize—and I'm not sure how this didn't occur to me before—that this franchise pairs "Big Lebowski" stars Goodman and Steve Buscemi (as Mike's roommate/future nemesis Randall). Admittedly, that increased my enjoyment of an early moment when Mike's warned not to step over a line; if only it were Sully screaming the warning.

As if my mother wasn't tormented enough by everything that's going on, I really sent her over the edge when she found out I had been reading a book on "The Art of Dying Well." I may have mentioned my perfectionist tendencies in past blogs; like everything else I do, I was going to do this the right way.
Now, don't get me wrong: I had no intention of actually dying, but I was on a roll since the "first time" I had breast cancer. I checked myself into the hospital for my first chemo with a big smile, never expecting to be a cancer patient who … well, dies. I thought that maybe if I read the book, I could avoid all the pointers; turns out, it had some really excellent ones.
I recently heard Elizabeth Edwards give a speech where a member of the audience asked how she felt about the fact that she was going to die (if you aren't aware, she has metastasized breast cancer) and she said, "We are ALL going to die – I just have a little bit more information!"
Along the same lines, I finished reading the book titled "The Last Lecture" by Randy Pausch, a professor at Carnegie Mellon University. He has terminal, metastasized pancreatic cancer that has spread to his lungs; he also has a lovely wife and three children under the age of six. Just the idea of not being around to raise my daughter causes deep knots in my stomach; I truly cannot even think about it or I would surely collapse.
So does all this talk of death mean I am going to die? Well, eventually, of course, but I hope later rather than sooner. Having had cancer twice, I cannot help but think of it from time to time. This week I had quite a few doctor visits and it seemed to come up more than normal. Have any of you made peace with dying?

News Release
Tuesday, October 23, 2012
LAPD Topanga Area Restores Native California Landscape NA12231rfWHAT:
A news conference highlighting the Topanga Area police station's ambitious project to restore a native California landscape to the six-acre station in an intense one-day effort with the help of students, community volunteers and $2,000 of donated native California plants.
Saturday, October 20, 2012
8 a.m. to 1 p.m. - Native plant installation
10 a.m. - Media availability news conference with special presentation from state Sen. Fran Pavley
Topanga Area Community Police Station
21501 Schoenborn Street
Canoga Park, CA 90034
Sen. Fran Pavley, 23rd District
Rebekah Rodriguez-Lynn, 23rd District Director
Rep. Howard Berman, 28th Congressional District (tentative)
Rep. Brad Sherman, 27th Congressional District (tentative)
Assembly Member Bob Blumenfield, 40th District
Los Angeles City Councilman Dennis Zine, District 3 (tentative)
LAPD Topanga Area Commanding Officer Captain Thomas P. Brascia
The new Topanga Area station opened in 2009, but due to budget pressures, the city didn't appropriate any funds to maintain the landscaping at the six-acre property. Over the last three years, the mostly non-native plants have died off. So the Topanga Area is partnering with the Theodore Payne Foundation for Wild Flowers and Native Plants to design a new landscape that will be drought-tolerant and also provide a habitat for birds and insects. Two hundred California native plants will be installed with the help of community volunteers under the direction of Lisa Novick, director of community outreach for the Theodore Payne Foundation. The project, Topanga Restoring its Urban Ecosystem (TRUE), was presented by Novick at the 2012 EcoSummit in Ohio as a model for other urban landscapes to emulate.
Inspired by the Adopt-A-Highway program, Captain Brascia has invited local businesses, groups and individuals to become involved by adopting part of the 21-zone landscape. Sponsors can participate by volunteering to water and tend the new plants or by making a tax-deductible contribution to the Topanga Boosters, a volunteer support organization of business and community leaders, to pay for professional maintenance. The Topanga Boosters donated the $2,000-worth of native plants and are covering the cost of the landscaping project without spending any tax dollars. The Boosters' primary mission is to increase the effectiveness and morale of Topanga officers and staff by raising funds for community services, materials, and equipment not generally supplied by the City of Los Angeles.
For more information, please contact Sergeant Thomas Mason at 818-756-3180/3070 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

Freestyle Slalom Inside My House
Rain, cold, and 35mph wind outside inspired me once again to move some furniture around and spread out the cones inside the house. It's been 9 months since I skated in the house and filmed it. Amazing how I improved since the first video.
Here is the new 2017 video:

Thanks y'all!
It was kind of like learning to ride a bicycle. All of a sudden, I could just do it. Of course, 50 years of skating including rink dance and hockey gave me a great foundation to start with. I think the turning point is not so much muscle memory as it is "cone memory". I sort of just KNOW where the cones are now and don't have to look at them so much, which allows me to just skate and not think too much about the floor. I also got the book "Art of Falling" and watched hundreds of hours of slalom videos online. I even downloaded some and converted them to super slow motion so I could learn the footwork. Actually, here is a link to my favorite one: https://vimeo.com/149233209 I slowed it way down and added my own music.
I gotta keep it REALLY conservative inside the house due to the narrowness of the runway. Sometimes my heel will hit a wall or appliance as it is. Also, any fall is very likely to end up on a sharp wooden corner or edge of a granite counter top. I guess that's why I looked a little stiff as I reviewed the footage. Don't want to fall on those plastic cones either! So falling BACKWARDS is out of the question - nowhere is safe. Hence, I tend to lean a tad forward in the house.
Next time I think I will set up four cones in a square pattern in the big front room and play with that some. I've seen that on some YouTube videos. You just keep going in a circle more or less so you don't have a start/end point. Should be a great workout.

Yea, I could tell by your movements you had spacial constraints going on. Dont wanna get hung up and eat it hard.
Just watching you go at first, vs a few mins in, you can see tuat you were already acclimated to what space was available.
Cool stff man.

Congratulations are certainly in order. Focus is often on the winner of these races, but a close look at the results tells additional stories.
In cross country, points are awarded according to the place of finish; for example, first place earns one team point, second earns two. The first five runners out of seven for the team count in the team score and the team with the fewest points wins.
The previous week, the Monticello girls scored the lowest team points possible at the region meet, 15 points. That means the Bucks captured the first five places in the race. The Buckaroos actually had the sixth and seventh place finishers as well.
In the Bronco triumph at the state 2A meet, Katie Hiatt led the way for the Broncos with an excellent fourth place finish, posting a low four points for her team. But, let's look at the races within the race in San Juan's two point win over Millard.
San Juan's second place finisher, Brielle Francom, finished ninth but importantly finished one place and three seconds ahead of Millard's second place finisher.
Sam Bergeman, who was the fourth place finisher for the Broncos, out-sprinted Millard's fourth place finisher, and crossed the finish line merely two tenths of a second ahead!
If both Francom and Bergeman had been passed by the Millard runners, Millard would have won the team title. However, if only one or the other had been passed, a tie would have resulted and the tiebreaker would have gone to the sixth place runners for both teams.
Michelle Keith's 30th place finish would have still given the Broncos the victory as the Millard sixth place finisher was 48th.
Cross country is an amazingly matchless sport. What other sport so remarkably uses every member of a team? It is intensely personal – ultimately it is you and the course – but captivatingly, the team aspect is intricately woven throughout this passionate private encounter. I don't know of another sport, perhaps wrestling, which so tantalizingly combines the individual and the team.
Buck runners
It was a day of threes for the Buckaroos as the Monticello girls captured third place at the state 1A cross country meet for the third year in a row.
Macee Nielson led the Buckaroo gals, as she had all year, coming in third place. The boys also came in third place, paced by Adam Butler's third place finish.
Coach Jeff Hunt praised both teams and was estatic about the "good season, the best ever since I've been coach" in cross country.
The boys were led all year by seniors Butler, Trent Sonderegger, Casey Randall and Trey Esplin. According to Hunt, these captains were inspirational in pulling the boys to their best finish in years.
Junior Julie Butler took the leadership reins for the girls and led the young, inexperienced team, of whom only Nielson had run before in the state meet. "The girls are already excited about next year," says Hunt, who returns his entire girls team. "They are already planning on meeting together and running."
Inspired Running
Hannah Ellsworth, a senior runner for Cedar City High School, was tenth in the 3A girls cross country race. Ellsworth's father Lansing, and 23 year old brother Dallin, were killed August 22 in a horrific plane crash in Moab. Ellsworth continued running after the terrible tragedy that rocked Cedar City, just two weeks after the plane crash that killed three Blanding men on August 8.
Ellsworth was able to find solace in running and was an inspiration for the community in coping with tragedy. Go to www.deseretnews.com/video/1,5563,589,00.html to see an inspirational video of the day about Hannah.
The Buckaroos lost their last home football game of the season, 33-6 to the Rich Rebels, dropping themselves to third place in region and earning a first round playoff matchup against the North Sevier Wolves.
The Bucks couldn't muster many positive results against Rich, other than three stalwart goal line stands in the first quarter, keeping the Rebels out of the endzone on three successive drives.
But turnovers finally did in the Bucks and the Rebels used the Buckaroo miscues to score twice in the second quarter and three more times in the third quarter.
On the night, the Bucks coughed up the ball six times, often deep in their own territory to make it relatively easy for the Rebels. Even in defeat, Coach JC Hall speaks highly of his team. "I just want to say how proud I am of this football team. I realize our record doesn't show the numbers that we were hoping from the first of the year, but this is still a great football team.
"They have had a tough schedule and some tough adversity to face week after week. We have 22 on our roster and I wouldn't trade any of these 22 kids for anything. They have shown me a lot of heart and a lot of guts. I am proud of the 22 kids.
"To the seniors, they have bright futures. They have poured their hearts into everything. I want them to remember that, as they continue through their other sports and through life, after all, that's what high school sports are about: The Life lessons.
"As I was told by the Caveguy, this is probably the best team in 1A with the worst record. I feel we can play with any team in the state if we just believe in ourselves and in each other.
"These kids deserve it, especially the seniors. I am proud of them and the work they have put in. They just need to look into their hearts and see what I have seen for the past four years. I just want these kids to know I have enjoyed them and this season. They deserve the best and I am very proud of all of them."
The Bucks and Wolves have not met this year, but share four common opponents. The scores in the four games all favor the Wolves, but the Bucks hope to play their best game and throw a quarterfinal surprise. The four common opponents are Rich, Parowan, Enterprise, and Layton Christian, all of whom the Wolves beat and to whom the Bucks lost. The Buckaroos are all healthy, however, and are looking forward to the Salina quarterfinal matchup.
The Broncos quarterfinal football opponent was set Friday when the Richfield Wildcats beat the South Summit Wildcats. Richfield gave the Broncos a competitive game in Richfield earlier this season, holding the high scoring Blanding Boys to their lowest point total of the season in the 14-0 Bronco win.
The Broncos and the Wildcats also sport four common opponents. San Juan beat Millard 33-14 and Richfield lost to Millard 27-20. San Juan beat South Sevier 39-7. Richfield beat South Sevier 21-14. San Juan beat Beaver 33-0. Richfield lost to Beaver 20-13. San Juan beat Grand 37-7 while Richfield also beat Grand 19-0. The Broncos will host the Wildcats in Blanding.

At least some content in this article is derived from information featured in Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery. Spoilers will be present within the article.
- "But Hogsmeade's a very interesting place, isn't it? In Sites of Historical Sorcery it says the inn was the headquarters for the 1612 goblin rebellion..."
- —Hermione Granger recounts facts she knows about Hogsmeade[src]
The 1612 goblin rebellion was one of a series of rebellions in which the goblin population of the wizarding world revolted against the discrimination and prejudice demonstrated towards their kind by wizards and witches.
The cause for this particular rebellion seems to have been, most likely, the lack of goblin representation on the Wizengamot.[1]
This particular rebellion occurred in 1612 and took place in the vicinity of Hogsmeade Village; one of the village's inns was used as headquarters for the rebellion.[2] Although exact casualties are unknown, they were presumably quite high on both sides, as the rebellions have been described as "bloody and vicious".
Behind the scenes
- It is unclear which of the inns in Hogsmeade Hermione is referring to as headquarters during this rebellion, though it was presumably either the Three Broomsticks Inn or the Hog's Head Inn.
- Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban (First mentioned)
- J. K. Rowling's official site (Mentioned only)
- Harry Potter: Hogwarts Mystery (Mentioned only)
Notes and references
- ↑ This piece of information comes from the second W.O.M.B.A.T. featured in J. K. Rowling's official site. Question 5 (Part One - Magical Beings) is "Which (still unresolved) issue do most historians believe triggered the infamous goblin rebellion of 1612?". When analysing the possible answers, the first one, "Lack of goblin representation on the Wizengamot" seems to make the most sense:
- "a. Lack of goblin representation on the Wizengamot" — this seems likely, as goblin representation on the Wizengamot is an issue that is "still unresolved".
- "b. Wizard attempts to enslave goblins and use as house-elves" — this position does not seem to be a prevalent one among modern wizards (as goblins have their established place in society) and, as such, this would not be categorised as a "still unresolved" issue.
- "c. Wizard refusal to grant goblins the right to carry a wand" — the Wand Ban, Clause Three of the Code of Wand Use, was passed in 1631, nineteen years after this conflict took place.
- "d. Attempt of wizards to regain control of Gringotts bank?" — the Ministry decided to leave full control of Gringotts in goblin hands in 1865, so this does not qualify as a "still unresolved" issue.
- "e. Series of brutal goblin-slayings by wizard murderer Yardley Platt" — Yardley Platt died in 1557, fifty-five years before this goblin rebellion, which makes it somewhat unlikely given the temporal distance. Besides, the fact that the correct answer is a "still unresolved" issue seems to rule out this possibility.

This series consists of talks in the area of Foundations of Quantum Theory. Seminar and group meetings will alternate.
Crudely formulated, the idea of neorealism, in the way that
Chris Isham and Andreas Doering use it, means that each theory of
physics, in its mathematical formulation should share certain structural
properties of classical physics. These properties are chosen to allow some degree of
realism in the interpretation (for example, physical variables always have values).
Apart from restricting the form of physical theories, neorealism does
increase freedom in the shape of physical theories in another
The general boundary formulation (GBF) is an atemporal, but spacetime local formulation of quantum theory. Usually it is presented in terms of the amplitude formalism, which, in the presence of a background time, recovers the pure state formalism of the standard formulation of quantum theory. After reviewing the essentials of the amplitude formalism I will introduce a new "positive formalism", which recovers instead a mixed state formalism.
Quantum chaos is the study
of quantum systems whose classical description is chaotic.
(based on http://arxiv.org/abs/1210.0194)
a generic quantum experiment we have a given set of devices analyzing some
physical property of a system. To each device involved in the experiment we
associate a set of random outcomes corresponding to the possible values of the
variable analyzed by the device. Devices have apertures that permit physical
systems to pass through them. Each aperture is labelled as "input" or
"output" depending on whether it is assumed that the aperture lets
the system go inside or outside the device. Assuming a particular input/output
Negativity in a quasi-probability representation is typically
interpreted as an indication of nonclassical behavior.
However, this does not preclude bases that are non-negative from
having interesting applications---the single-qubit
stabilizer states have non-negative Wigner functions and yet
play a fundamental role in many quantum information tasks.
We determine what other sets of quantum states and measurements
of a qubit can be non-negative in a quasiprobability
If probabilities represent knowledge, what is an "unknown
probability"? De Finetti's theorem licenses the view that it is simply a
convenient metaphor for a certain class of knowledge about a series of
events. There are quantum versions for "unknown states" and
channels". I will explain how "unknown measurements" can be
I will then move to a totally different topic. The Bloch sphere is handy
The fact that the quantum wavefunction of a many-particle system is a function on a high-dimensional configuration space, rather than on spacetime, has led some to suggest that any realist understanding of quantum mechanics must regard configuration space as more fundamental than spacetime. Worse, it seems that a wavefunction monist ontology cannot help itself to talk of "configuration space" at all, without particles for the configurations to be configurations of.

Using the Internet to search for Militia Ancestors
If your ancestors served in the Militia it may seem that trying to trace their careers is significantly more difficult than those men that served in the regular army. But there are some great websites that can help you in your search.
What is the Militia?
The Militia was a part-time voluntary civilian force organised county-by-county, which was formalised by the Militia Act of 1757. The list of able-bodied men that were drawn up under this act can serve as a kind of census. The militia was widely embodied at various times during the French and Napoleonic Wars. It served at several vulnerable locations, particularly the South Coast and in Ireland. The militia could not be compelled to serve overseas, but it was seen as a training reserve for the army, as financial incentives were offered to men who opted to 'exchange' from the militia to the regular army.
In general the best advice to trying to find ancestors who served in the Militia is to go local and talk to the local records office, family history society or regimental museum. However there are a number of websites that may also be of use..So, in no particular order here are some good websites to help you in your search.
Genuki (www.genuki.org.uk)
This is a great place to start your search. Type in Militia to the Genuki search box and you will get 1066 matches. All of which are links to other sites that have Militia relevant information on them. These could be the Militia lists and Musters for Cambridgeshire, or it could be information on Sir John Reresby's Militia Troop
The National Archives (www.nationalarchives.gov.uk)
As always, the National Archives is a great source of information. Their specific webpage for the Militia is http://www.nationalarchives.gov.uk/catalogue/RdLeaflet.asp?sLeafletID=26&j=1 The Archives hold a great deal of information on various aspects of the Militia including soldier and officer papers, commission books, muster rolls, casualties and medal rolls.
Militia Attestations Index (www.originsnetwork.com)
This Index currently contains the names of over 110,000 recruits to militias in Cheshire, Cornwall, Devon, Dorset, Durham, Essex, Hampshire, Kent, Lancashire, Lincolnshire, Middlesex, Norfolk, Northumberland, Suffolk, Surrey, Wiltshire and Yorkshire, and in south and central Scotland; the Irish Origins database contains an index to a further 12,500 men who applied to militias in Ireland. These recruits came from all over the British Isles.
They also have a digital archive of the complete WO96 section from TNA. Available for search and download at £10 per soldier. Or you can use the information here to access the documents in person at the Archives.
As I have already said, the best place to start your search maybe your local records office. Once you have an idea of where/when your ancestor served you can go through the Access to archives and the National Register of Archives to fins records held in local offices. Some of these archives may provide online indexes while others will demand that you visit in person. Many regimental museums will also hold relevant information, and while most offer a visit-by-appointment, many do offer research services. The best place to track down your regimental museum is at www.armymuseums.org.uk

To look young and healthy, your skin needs everyday care and regeneration. Some processes are spontaneous but the skin's self-regeneration potential decreases with age. Anti-Age capsules contain orthomolecules of plant fluids from organic farms. The uniqueness of the composition lies in its anti-ageing and special soothing action. The capsules have a particularly soothing effect on hypersensitive skin, which is so difficult to care for. Each precious drop of the product delivers the extraordinary potential of natural antioxidants and stimulants of fibroblast division, to rejuvenate your skin and to give it suppleness and vitality.
Fish collagen
extracted from fish skins by a method patented in Poland, is a natural source of peptides that freely penetrate the epidermis and stimulate fibroblasts for increased activity. It strikes the cause of wrinkles - a collagen deficit. It slows down the aging process by moisturizing, making the skin more elastic and regenerated.
Oenothera Biennis Seed Extract, Punica Granatum Seed Extract, Rosa Canina Seed Extract, Hippophae Rhamnoides Fruit Extract, Commiphora Mukul Resin Extract, Caprylic/Capric Triglyceride, Triticum Vulgare Bran Extract, Fish Collagen, Rosmarinus Officinalis Leaf Extract.
After twisting off the tip of the capsule, squeeze out its contents onto your washed palms. Warm up the oil in them by rubbing one palm against the other for a few seconds. Apply the contents of the capsule onto the cleansed skin of the face, neck or shoulders, avoiding the eye area. Leave it to be absorbed.
Due to a high content of active ingredients in AntiAge capsules, it's best to do a safety test before use, to check if you are not allergic to any of the components. Apply 2-3 drops of the oil from the capsule on clean skin, preferably behind your ear, as it is most similar to facial skin, but it can any other part of the body. To make sure the test results are reliable, repeat it over three consecutive days. If no signs or allergy are be observed (itching, burning, redness, swelling, or rash), the capsules are safe to use for a 30-day skin treatment.
Store at room temperature, in a dry place away from the sunlight and out of reach of small children. This is a natural product with no artificial preservatives.

The Global Jewish Kitchen
My name is Linda Capeloto Sendowski, an ethnic mouthful to be sure, and a name that I am proud of because it embraces the concept of Jews from all over the globe. I grew up eating, cooking, and baking my way through the Jewish calendar year in the famous Seattle Sephardic community of families who came to the United States mostly from the Island of Rhodes and many small towns in Turkey. My husband is from the Eastern European Jewish tradition born in Los Angeles.
Now our home, here in Southern California, embraces food from all over the globe, from borekas to gefilte fish, and from pico de gallo to curry, to wasabi paste. Family, food, and hospitality are the hallmarks of our home.
I believe food, meals, cooking, and its symbolism should be an integral part of our lives, enriching the family experience. TheGlobalJewishKitchen.com will be an expansion of my blog TheBorekaDiary.com which is a virtual kosher kitchen where I share my recipes, some invented, some revised and some from culinary memories or experiences.
I invite you to take a tour of my kitchen and experience recipes, menus, resources and advice. I also take time to share my travel diaries and photos when I take a memorable voyage. In addition I love the personal comments I receive on the blog, I read every one and take them to heart.
Welcome and enjoy,


text: farmeunit 687 Posted October 25, 2012 You do realize the average computer user has changed a LOT over the years. and MS has very detailed usage metrics on how their apps are used, and that's the basis for how the new apps are made. There was a point when the average user wanted the full power of the old WMP. that time has long since passed and their metrics show that all people do in the apps is pick a playlist and click play. for that a full media manager app with included audio wrangler, sorry EQ, is overkill and more trouble than it's worth for what the user wants to do. and just helps to confuse them and make them annoyed because the simple functions they want are hidden amidst all the advanced crap they don't need. if you need a good media manager, Foobar is that way. people who need decent media managers know where to find it. So we should remove any advanced functionality of all programs because most people don't use it, and expect a third-party alternative? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanksgiving Proclamation 2009
At the Statehouse Concord, New Hampshire
As a member of an Hispanic family I need to remind everyone that the first recorded North American Thanksgiving was not in Plymouth, although we are celebrating the Separatist's Harvest feast, nor was it held in Jamestown (as some Virginians claim), it was actually held on 30 April 1598 by Spaniard Don Juan de Oñate and his followers near today's El Paso, Texas. As a member of the Mayflower Society I remind you that tradition holds that we do venerate and celebrate the history of the 1621 harvest feast in Plymouth on the third Thursday of November every year as the American holiday of Thanksgiving.
And so, this morning, at the New Hampshire Statehouse in Concord, our Governor Lynch signed the annual Thanksgiving Proclamation. The New Hampshire Mayflower Society Governor Dean Dexter drew up the wording, and Deputy Governor John Payzant of New Castle, and yours truly, Captain Heather Rojo of Londonderry were there for the photo opportunity and handshake. The Mayflower Society's role is to honor the memory of our Plymouth ancestors and to fulfill this mission through genealogical research and promoting our colonial history.
All this so you can enjoy your day off next week, and officially have your turkey dinner!
WHEREAS, In the autumn of 1621, the Pilgrims held a three-day feast to celebrate the plentiful harvest they reaped following their first winter in North America, and
WHEREAS, the first national Thanksgiving Day, proclaimed by President George Washington, was November, 26, 1789, and President Abraham Lincoln, proclaimed the first annual national holiday in 1863, establishing as the date the last Thursday of November at the behest of nationally celebrated editor and author, and daughter of New Hampshire, Sarah Josepha Hale; and
WHEREAS, on Thanksgiving Day, New Hampshire citizens and all Americans come together to enjoy the fellowship of family and friends with a feast that symbolizes the many blessings in our lives; and
WHEREAS, while Thanksgiving is a time to gather in a spirit of gratitude with family, friends, and neighbors, it is also an opportunity to serve others and to share our blessings with those in need; and
WHEREAS, as citizens we pause to consider our good fortune as residents of this Great State, we are especially mindful of the heroic men and women serving in our Armed Forces, especially those serving abroad;
NOW, THEREFORE, I, John Lynch, Governor of the State of New Hampshire, do recognize and celebrate November 26, 2009 as
and encourage the people of New Hampshire to pray or reflect on their own and give thanks for the rich blessings of our State and our Nation.
In WITNESS WHEREOF, I have hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the Great Seal of the State of New Hampshire
John Lynch

Here come the judges
It's not often you see seven Colorado Supreme Court justices walking down Glenarm Street.
I did a double take when I realized I recognized the crew. There was Monica Marquez, the newest addition, and Allison Eid and Michael Bender and on and on headed into the Denver Athletic Club.
I ran out of the Denver Press Club, across the street and followed the justices into the elevator at the DAC.
On the ride to the second floor, I discovered that the current bench and retired justices get together every year for a luncheon and Thursday was that day.
On the way out of the DAC, I saw former Supreme Court Justice Jean Dubofsky on the way in.


text: Today is the first day of February. Last year we were in the midst of a snowstorm whereas today temperatures are expected to reach the high 50's. Quite warm for New York. Being from a warm state I love this weather. However, I hate the frenzy of morning what to wear drama that transitional weather brings on. This is why I love this Old Navy top. At $37 it is not only chic it is the perfect piece to wear now with a sweater or jacket. Come summer I can see it with white jeans and brown sandals. Tres chic.

This is an excerpt from The Complete Guide to Pitching by Derek Johnson.
Balance and Momentum
Before we delve into the nuts and bolts of lower-body mechanics, be sure to note that the lower body—feet, legs, and hips—is directly responsible for the creation of momentum in the delivery. The pitcher starts the delivery by moving the feet and lifting the leg, which generates the force needed to propel the ball. This momentum builder is referred to as the tempo of the delivery. Along those same lines, the lower body is responsible for maintaining balance during these movements, allowing rhythm and timing to occur. The pitcher wants to gain momentum so that more force can be harnessed and applied; at the same time, he needs to remain balanced so that the rhythm and timing of his movements will allow him to apply these forces at the proper time. As mentioned in chapter 2, balance serves as one of the seven foundational principles of this book. It promotes athleticism in the delivery, and if the pitcher strives to balance all areas of pitching, he has a better chance of becoming a complete pitcher.
Quick Pitch
The ability to move from one foot to another with power, precision, and balance is vital for the pitcher. These movements harness the pitcher's power so that he is able to apply maximum force to the baseball and control of the pitches that he throws. Every pitcher should practice developing a solid foundation on the back foot, as well as learning to land solidly on the front foot.
So how does a pitcher remain balanced and athletic with his lower body? As the lead foot and leg lift up to start counterrotation, the majority of the pitcher's weight should be distributed on the ball of his post-leg foot. As the delivery unfolds, the pitcher should be able to completely control the movements he is making, keeping his head in the middle of his body. And when landing, the pitcher should land flat with the majority of his weight distributed onto the ball of his stride foot as the ball is released. This is athleticism. This is balance! The pitcher moves his body where he wants and how fast he wants. He coordinates the upper and lower half of the body to create symmetry for the impending explosion at the end—the pitch.
Balance Drill
This drill uses an Airex pad, a foam pad designed to promote balance. The pitcher's main responsibility is to travel from one foot to the other while on the Airex pad, maintaining balance and posture. This drill can be completed with or without the use of a baseball.
The pitcher will execute this drill in sock feet so that he can feel the foam pad better. The drill will start with one foam pad and then an additional pad will be needed.
Pitching Points
It should be noted that pitcher should start slowly with his movements and build speed as he gets more comfortable with the foam pad underneath him.
As discussed in the previous chapter, posture is a series of movements that make up the delivery and help determine body alignment and direction to the plate. Subtle moves that the pelvis, spine, and head make during the delivery can cause inefficiencies and inconsistency of movements. Obviously, it then makes sense that posture can also affect what happens in lower-body mechanics. If the center (pelvis and core) isn't used as the engineer for movement, steering the body down the mound will be difficult, and poor direction can occur because, as noted, the legs and arms will always follow the center. A relatively common example of this is the lack of proper posture in a pitcher who strides across his body. This occurs because, as the pitcher lifts to the top of his delivery and starts his descent to the plate, the pitcher's head and spine work in front his center of gravity, causing a forward lean. As a result, the pitcher fails to initiate his core properly, and his body drifts toward the side, causing him to stride across his body (see figure 4.2). His legs did not necessarily lead him to striding across his body. It was poor posture and a poor "center" that led the way.
Another common postural deficiency that affects timing, alignment, and momentum is bending the back knee with too much flexion instead of angling the knee toward the plate (see figure 4.3). When the back knee is flexed, the posture of the pitcher changes dramatically (the pitcher sits, or lowers his profile and becomes smaller), and the hips are limited in their ability to move out toward the plate because they are stacked. This sitting action angles the knee toward the open-side base (right-handed pitcher toward third base and left-handed pitcher toward first) instead of keeping the knee under the hip and directing the back side toward home plate. This can create a stalling effect, or a starting and stopping and then restarting, which disrupts momentum to the plate. Stalling will often create rhythm and timing issues, and the pitcher's command and stuff can be compromised.
The pitcher should instead attempt to get "down the hill," turning the back side and back knee into a closed-off front side, as shown in figure 4.3a. This will leverage the body and is known as riding the back leg down the hill.
The following list includes important features that can positively or negatively affect posture. A pitcher can work on these areas to improve posture naturally during training or bullpen sessions without changing large movement patterns—they are small details that create big changes.

Positive Pampering
Sure, a pedicure can make you look superb below the ankles — but if you think it's just a self-indulgent treat, check out these facts from the American Podiatric Medical Association: The 8,000-plus steps you take each day exert up to 127,000 pounds of pressure on your poor tootsies — so they need any help they can get. These quick, do-it-yourself versions of two decadent new spa treatments will give your feet a well-deserved vacation.
To smooth out calluses: Mix 1/2 pint fresh crushed strawberries, 1 cup brown sugar, and 2 tablespoons olive oil into a grainy paste. Scrub it onto your soles with your hands, then rinse off and wrap your feet in warm towels for about ten minutes to seal in moisture. The acids in strawberries have exfoliating properties that will soften rough spots.

To deeply hydrate: Mix together 5 cups warm milk, 2 tablespoons honey, and 1 tablespoon lavender essential oil. In a separate bowl, melt 1 1/2 cups semisweet chocolate chips in the microwave, then mix in 2 tablespoons honey and 2 egg yolks to create a smooth paste. Soak your feet for 15 minutes in the first mixture, then slather on the chocolate paste and leave on for another 15 minutes. Finally, rinse off with warm water. The milk and the cocoa butter in the chocolate will soothe and moisturize superdry skin.

For Happy, Healthy Feet
1. To prevent ingrowns, trim toenails straight across and never cut them too short, says Joseph Caporusso, D.P.M., a podiatrist in McAllen, Texas.
2. To freshen up sweaty soles when you can't deal with a messy foot powder, rub on a cream that also has odor-preventing properties. (Try Dr. Scholl's Deodorizing & Moisturizing Foot Cream.)
3. To take the ouch out of sore feet, apply a foot mask containing ginger or peppermint, proven skin stimulators that will rev up your circulation, says New York City podiatrist Stuart Mogul, M.D., author of the book Perfect Feet.
4. To relieve heel pain, stand on the edge of a step, let heels drop, and hold for a minute, says Dr. Mogul.

Arvella Schuller Testifies Against Crystal Cathedral in $5M Suit
Arvella Schuller, wife of Crystal Cathedral founder the Rev. Robert H. Schuller, testified Friday before a bankruptcy court in Los Angeles, Calif., in their lawsuit seeking more than $5 million from the ministry they founded over 55 years ago.
Arvella Schuller said she was never paid for her work for the church and that it was "my gift to God," according to The Orange County Register. However, she added, the Hour of Power program was a separate entity, the Crystal Cathedral Ministries, and the two were to be kept separate.
"My husband and Dr. Billy Graham said, 'We must never allow the television ministry to bankrupt the church," she testified. "The church was kept separate. That was sacred." Evangelist Graham was the executive producer at the beginning in 1970.
In their lawsuit, the Schullers claim that Crystal Cathedral Ministries owes them money based on a contract made several years ago in which it was agreed that administrators would provide the couple with more than $337,000 yearly for housing and insurance and for Robert Harold, Inc., among other payments. Robert Harold, Inc. is the name of the Rev. Schuller's corporation.
The 10-day trial, which began Thursday, will also find out whether Arvella Schuller donated her time for the Hour of Power television show, which she produced and directed from the 1970s until 2007, or got paid. The court will also rule who owns the rights to the television programs still televised around the world, and whether Robert Schuller's "transition agreement" upon leaving as senior pastor in 2005 constitutes a retirement plan or an employment contract.
If Judge Robert Kwan rules that it's an employment contract, damages to Rev. Schuller could be limited to one year's worth of wages.
One of the Schullers' daughters and her husband, both of whom worked in the ministry, also have claims in the case, which also involves copyright infringement and intellectual property violations.
The opposing counsel repeatedly asked Arvella Schuller in the court on Friday whether a $198,000 annual payment to her and her husband was for her services on the Hour of Power or for her and her husband's intellectual property. She appeared to give different answers, according to The OC Register, but she underlined that royalty and license are separate things.
If the Schuller family is paid the claims, it could seriously jeopardize the future of Crystal Cathedral Ministries, The Los Angeles Times quoted Chief Executive John Charles as saying. "If they pay everything they are asked, then there will be no money for the cathedral," he said.
Arvella Schuller told the court she created the program from her home, and woke up at 4 a.m. each Monday morning to cull the best parts of the previous Sunday's service, and worked around the clock. She met with musicians and the choir, and handled the cameramen, who were good but needed to be told that no, they shouldn't be focusing on a woman's pretty legs, according to the Register. "It took really every day of the week."
The megachurch had filed for Chapter 11 bankruptcy in October 2010. Crystal Cathedral had been facing a growing debt and a leadership struggle since the founder handed over the leadership of the church to his family in 2008. The Rev. Schuller and his wife, who founded the church with a $500 loan, stepped down from the board earlier this year over payment disputes.
Crystal Cathedral Ministries sold its iconic Garden Grove campus to the Roman Catholic Diocese of Orange last year for $57.5 million, and plans to move to a different property owned by the diocese next summer. The ministry currently pays the diocese rent to use the Garden Grove facilities while in transition.
