Millions of Americans are getting free stuff from the government � well, it�s free for them but not for you if you�re paying taxes.
To the editor:
Millions of Americans are getting free stuff from the government � well, it�s free for them but not for you if you�re paying taxes.
Is this helping the poor or is it buying votes? Will this make people independent or dependent, self-reliant or reliant; or could we be headed back to the welfare state that once existed decades ago?
That was a time when families were on welfare for generations, with no hope, no jobs and no incentive to find work. It was a system that robbed people of their pride and self-esteem. Worse, it took away their dreams. They became wards of the welfare state, waiting for that next monthly check.
Now it seems that the welfare state is back � stronger and more determined than ever. The goal: To get as many people on government assistance as possible. Virtually all government programs for the poor are laced with fraud, so taxpayers are not just paying for overlapping programs, they�re also paying for fraud and abuse in those programs.
To the government poverty and the poor are just numbers � how much income one makes over a period of time. Others see it as a state of mind; i.e., you�re only poor if you think you are. They have friends, family, churches and other charitable organizations to help them get on their feet; while government handouts are for the long term, with no foreseeable way out.

ECONOMIC FORECAST: Whitley County economy looks to adapt
COLUMBIA CITY — The state of Whitley County's economy at the close of 2012 proves the area is continuing in its strengths and hoping to stay adaptive with the challenges and changes that the future might bring.The occupations that are most in-demand in Whitley County are health care, specifically nursing, and skilled manufacturing, such as Computer Numerically Controlled (CNC)-certified individuals. Looking towards the future though, there is still a need for skilled workers in the region.Baby Boomers are also continuing to retire nationwide. This will bring a large drop in the population of skilled workers. As employers on a regional and nationwide level look towards this coming worker shortage, steps are being taken to refresh the workforce with younger talent.Randolph expects high school curriculums to remain the same, but she added that different post-secondary requirements will be varied depending on the area, and the needs of employers. Randolph said that she has been able to collaborate with employers who are working with the EDC, and that together they have been able to off-set costs for companies to train new employees.Tio said this is part of the goal of being ready for the future. "Workforce is something that is unique and can't be replicated very easily," he said. In continuing to look at the future, the focus is to keep up with what works in the region. However, the 2013 outlook for the U.S. economy will have an effect on the local scene.There is also the issue, currently, of extended unemployment benefits expiring at the end of the month. While that issue remains in the balance at a federal level, there are solutions for Whitley County individuals if those benefits do run out.Even if there is a drop in funding, the hope is that locally there can be stability.Tio also added that there will be a new governor and lieutenant governor, and on the state-level, there could be changes and uncertainty. Regardless, heading into 2013, the future for the region looks bright.For a more in depth look at this story, see the Dec. 20 issue of The Post and Mail. Don't have a subscription?

USU Uintah Basin Child Development Lab Receives National Accreditation
Thursday, Aug. 29, 2013
The USU Uintah Basin Child Development Lab has received national accreditation.
The National Association for the Education of Young Children has granted the status to the Utah State University program. It is located in Roosevelt, Utah, and administered through the Family, Consumer and Human Development Department. NAEYC is the nation's leading organization of early childhood professionals.
"Pursuing accreditation helped us provide the very best experiences for the children we serve," said Shirlene Law, the Uintah lab's director.
The NAEYC website lists 23 accredited preschools in Utah, the vast majority of them in or near Salt Lake City. Of the six accredited programs outside the Salt Lake metropolitan area, three are operated by Utah State University.
"We believe so strongly that if we're training early childhood educators, they need to be trained in settings that implement best practice," said Shelley Lindauer, interim co-director of the Adele and Dale Young Child Development Laboratory on the Utah State University main campus. "It's the national standard of excellent early childhood practice."
NAEYC requires preschools to meet specific criteria in order to achieve accreditation — and those standards are often more rigorous than licensing requirements in most states. The accreditation assures that children's learning is to be supported through relationships, curriculum, teaching, assessing the child's progress and supporting the child's health. Teachers are also evaluated, as are the family and community partners.
It's a rigorous process, but it's worth it.
"It's a great way to validate why we do what we do," Law said.

Lies and chaos erupt in a southern estate, as a family and their loved ones battle through drama and dishonesty in St. Margaret's performance of "Cat on a Hot Tin Roof."
Brick is stuck with his wife nagging him to know why he does not love her any more and his father wondering what has made his ideal son become a drunk, careless man. Meanwhile, Big Mama still loves Big Daddy but he cannot stand to be in the same room as her. After discovering the truth that Big Daddy is dying, Big Mama does not know how she will live without him, the rest wonder what will come of the money and estate.
Margaret (Delanie Melbon) coolly and slyly demands attention with her silky, sultry voice; keeping her accent throughout, every word is flawlessly understood. She uses the stage and gracefully glides across the room with a confident presence. Her facial expressions match the intensity of her body movements and her emotion portrayed is believable, yet stylized. She playfully teases Brick to try and persuade his feelings towards her, when he fights her, her body becomes stiff and her emotions erupt into a dramatic state of her character.
Brick (Brooks Robinson) calmly keeps engaged throughout his wife's pestering; he speaks with a dry, sarcastic tone that keeps his wife on her toes and always asking for more. Although he is in a cast his movement is constant and strong, he never loses his limp; even when he is getting into several intense fights with his father and wife. His angry moments are intimidating and physically powerful; his booming voice carries and pierces through any overriding dialogue. The progression of his intoxication was subtle and yet existent, even while he is intoxicated his tense body never loosened showing his character could not find it in him to lighten up.
Big Daddy (Mattingly Messina) speaks with defined intentions and captures attention with his intense, scary body language. His hands complete his stories and he uses his belly to his advantage, when he gets mad he leads with his stomach and shows his power. He struts around the stage with such poise and assurance of himself. His reactions to everyone around him are forceful and show how passionate he is about his anger.
"Cat on a Hot Tin Roof" performed at St. Margaret's is beautifully and professionally.

Poteau teams split with Heavener on Senior Night
The Poteau Lady Pirates celebrated Senior Night on Tuesday at Sherman Floyd Fieldhouse, and sent their three seniors — Shelby Standridge, Brenna Vise and Colleen Peterson — out in style. For the third time this season, the Lady Pirates dominated the Heavener Lady Wolves in posting a 65-49 victory.However, the visiting Wolves spoiled Senior Night for the Pirates, who beat them 44-43 on a last-second, coast-to-coast drive for a layup by Jarrett Lowrimore on Jan. 11 in Heavener. The Wolves avenged that loss with a 59-46 win over the Pirates.

"Venus in Fur," a whip-smart dissection of gender politics via some teasing S&M, is arch. So arch in fact that it is surprising it's a Roman Polanski film.
The director has spent a great deal of creative energy over the course of his career exploring the dark side of punishing psychosexuality in various settings through films such as "Bitter Moon," "Rosemary's Baby" and the classic "my sister, my daughter, my sister, my daughter" slap, slap, slap of "Chinatown."
"Venus" isn't frothy by any stretch. But it is a caustic, comic, cerebral romp for a long time before it hits you with its best shot — some Polanski-worthy darkness.
The film is an interesting choice for the director beyond its comedy aspects. After Polanski's dreadful go at adapting a play in 2011 — when he took the brilliantly acerbic "Carnage" and massacred it on the big screen — it takes a certain moxie to go back, at least metaphorically, to the scene of the crime.
Here he takes up residence in a theater for a brisk 96 minutes, never moving his players outside of its walls, never needing to. "Venus" feels every bit a film, not a filmed stage production.
He's made a near-perfect match between the material — David Ives' play based on Leopold von Sacher-Masoch's infamous novella, which the playwright worked with Polanski to adapt for the screen — and its cast of two. Mathieu Amalric and Emmanuelle Seigner in the role of Thomas and Vanda, a playwright and an actress, happen to prove extraordinarily adept at intellectually and emotionally torturing each other over the question of whether sadomasochism and love can co-exist, indeed if pain and pleasure are interdependent.
The idea of a running debate over the value of S&M between two people in one place might sound dreary, but the dialogue is clever and the actors' chemistry is electric. The current coursing between them feels as if it could do damage at any moment. That their interplay is in French with English subtitles might seem a mark against the film too. But honestly, the conversation is so fast and its repartee so stinging that the running line of words on screen ensures nothing is missed.
You may know the French actor Amalric for his remarkably vibrant portrayal of a paralyzed magazine editor blinking out his memoir in Julian Schnabel's "The Diving Bell and the Butterfly." In "Venus," his Thomas is the writer and director of the play being cast. He's an arrogant misogynist whose romantic drama, also called "Venus in Fur," both idealizes and despises women.
Seigner, who played Amalric's ex-lover and the mother of his children in "Diving Bell," is Vanda, an actress who's shown up late and is a bit too perfect for the part — a character also named Vanda. The actress brings a lush sensuality to the role, a ripeness that she wears casually, a sense of knowing precisely the effect she's having on Thomas. In contrast, Thomas, in Amalric's hands, has an air of decay and disappointment hanging about him, an ego desperate to be stroked, and delighted to finally be in charge.
Their dissonance is ideal for this dance around the issue of who's on top, and yes, I mean that in all senses. If nothing else, the fact that Seigner is Polanski's wife and Amalric bears a striking resemblance to the director adds a note of intrigue or irony or discomfort, depending on how you choose to factor it in.
"Venus" opens with the theater empty but for Thomas, on his cell, pacing, exasperatedly recounting the day he's spent listening to bad actresses read for the role. Vanda rushes in, soaked by a downpour, hours late for her audition, insisting that he let her read for the role regardless. Her pleas are dropped along with her coat. She's wearing a scanty black-leather ensemble — bustier and mini — and a dog collar.
It takes prodding, but Vanda gets her way and then the true tragicomedy begins to unfold. She's brought a dress, a light Victorian frock, that might suit the character, and when she slips it on, Vanda becomes Vanda as Thomas imagined her. And just as suddenly we are catapulted along with him down the rabbit hole. Seigner is mesmerizing to watch slip in and out of character, moving between the Vanda of the play and the Vanda's who's auditioning so seamlessly it makes your head spin.
With Pawel Edelman as director of photography, art direction by Bruno Via, set decoration by Philippe Cord'homme and music by Alexandre Desplat, the staging is slight but effective. Though Vanda and Thomas' master-slave exchanges are the heart of the play, thematically the theater itself and the relationship between actor and director is toyed. Having the pair work with whatever discarded prop is at hand underscores the power of performance and directing in creating a mood.
So much is up for discussion in that darkened theater; the film's gravitational center is constantly shifting, and the balance of power as well — Vanda increasingly in charge, Thomas increasingly at her mercy. In this case, the theater walls are not constricting but cocooning, exactly the right setting for a story of such intimacy, such heightened sexuality, such emotional exposure.
And a sure-handed Polanski knows exactly how to play the assignation.

Solar Cell, Solar Module & Solar Array Test
The goal of achieving ever increasing solar cell efficiency and reduced cost demands accurate, repeatable, fast, and reliable test results. The research, design, and development work necessary to achieving superior performing, highly manufacturable solar cells, modules and arrays requires high performance test equipment. Keysight Power Supplies, Switch/Measurement units, Electronic Loads, and DMMs provide superior capability for measuring the I-V curve performance of cells, modules, and arrays in both forward and reverse polarities, in full radiation, and in shadow (darkness). Keysight´s products are well suited for making on the bench and rapid production line solar device measurements.
Producing quality solar modules and arrays in a production environment requires the characterization and sorting of solar cells. Matching the I-V performance of solar cells destined for installation in a common module or array is necessary for achieving optimum output power capability. Maximizing productivity and module or array performance means making fast, accurate and reliable measurements.
Measuring the forward I-V performance of a solar cell, module, or array involves loading the device with a constant voltage, varying the voltage in increments from zero to the device open circuit voltage (Voc), and measuring the output current. Zero volts corresponds to the maximum available short circuit current (Isc). At Voc, the measured output current of the device is zero. Measuring the reverse I-V performance of a shadowed (dark) solar device requires the application, in increments, of a reverse polarity voltage.

DUBLIN, Ohio, 5 September 2013— The Alberta Library (TAL), a consortium of 49 public, university, college, technical institute and special libraries, has selected a group catalogue solution from OCLC as its provincial discovery tool. The revamped union catalogue, TAL Online, makes 25 million items available to Albertans, and is scheduled to launch in October 2013.
TAL licensed the group catalogue, powered by OCLC's WorldCat, using provincial technology funds from the Government of Alberta Public Library Services Branch. TAL Online will serve as the primary resource for residents in Alberta searching for items in libraries throughout the province. Twenty-three new libraries in Alberta are now using OCLC cataloguing services.
The catalogue will enhance resource sharing for Alberta's provincially licensed e-content by exposing library resources through online search and social media networks. The project takes full advantage of OCLC's VDX resource sharing management system already licensed for Alberta public libraries. Users will be able to seamlessly request materials discovered in TAL Online from any public or academic library in the province.
"By incorporating OCLC Control Numbers into library records to facilitate deep linking and maintaining our holdings in WorldCat, the catalogue will allow our users to connect to our resources through organic search processes that our users already practice," said Jason Openo, Alberta Public Library Electronic Network (APLEN).
"WorldCat allows users to search more than 2 billion holdings from the global cooperative's 20,000 members," said Daniel Boivin, Executive Director, OCLC Canada, Latin America and the Caribbean. "From the WorldCat Facebook application to our partnerships with sites such as Goodreads and DOGObooks, OCLC and its partner organizations collaborate to provide information seekers a variety of paths to discover valuable library resources online."
WorldCat is the most comprehensive online database of resources available through libraries worldwide. In May 2013, the 2 billionth holding was set through an automated process by TAL member University of Alberta Libraries, in Edmonton. The WorldCat interface is available in 10 languages, including English and French, and search results display nearby holding libraries—closest to furthest from the user.
Mr. Openo will share TAL's selection process, discuss implementation obstacles and triumphs, and demonstrate how the new catalogue surfaces library collections through social networking sites during his session at the Netspeed 2013 conference in Calgary in October 2013.

No gag order in Hernandez murder case
The judge hearing the murder trial of former National Football League star Aaron Hernandez declined on Wednesday to issue a gag order prohibiting lawyers involved in the case from speaking about it publicly.
But Associate Justice Susan Garsh reminded prosecutors and defense attorneys that Massachusetts trial Testosterone Singapore rules still place significant limits on what public statements they can make about an ongoing criminal proceeding.
"The rules of professional conduct coupled by admonitions from the court render it unnecessary to issue an order," Garsh said at a hearing in Massachusetts "buy cheap jintropin online" Superior Court in Fall River.
"Failure to issue an order at this time should not be deemed to constitute any endorsement by this court of counsel trying this case in the media or allowing their investigators to do so," she said.
The case of the former New England Patriots tight end had drawn intense media interest even before his arrest after the June 17 shooting of his friend Odin Lloyd in an industrial area near his North Attleborough, Massachusetts, home.
Hernandez, 23, was a star player with a $41 million contract when he was arrested on June 26 and charged in the death of Lloyd, a semi professional football Günstig Kamagra Oral Jelly Kaufen player. The Patriots dropped Hernandez a few hours after his Oxandrolone Uk arrest.
He has pleaded not guilty to all charges, which include one count of murder and several firearms related offenses.
At the hearing, a handcuffed Hernandez was brought in wearing a suit and tie more formal attire than in prior court appearances. He huddled briefly with his lawyers before the proceedings began.
He addressed the court for Gensci Jintropin the first time since entering his not guilty plea, assuring the judge that he saw no conflict of interest in the fact that one of his defense attorneys worked at the same area law firm as the wife of a prosecutor on the case.
Hernandez answered some simple questions, and when asked his profession, replied: "I played football."
Prosecutors contend that Hernandez summoned Lloyd to his home in North Attleborough on June 17, a few nights after the two argued at a nightclub, because Lloyd had been speaking with people Hernandez disliked.
On the night of the shooting, Hernandez and two other Buy Jintropin men drove Lloyd to an isolated industrial park, while Lloyd sent his sister text messages telling her who he was with, a series of messages that ended "just so you know," prosecutors said.
When the men arrived at the industrial park, prosecutors say Hernandez shot Lloyd Testosterone Isocaproate Uses five times, twice while standing over his victim as he lay on the "buy cheap jintropin online" ground.
Hernandez's attorneys have described the local prosecutors' case as weak and circumstantial, noting that they have not presented the gun Hernandez is accused of using in the killing.
Hernandez is being held in Bristol County Jail while awaiting trial. The other men who were in the car that night, Carlos Orbitz and Ernest Wallace, have been charged with accessory to murder after the fact.

National Treasure (US - BD RA)
Having run out of Indiana Jones movies, Gabe moves on to middleing cash-ins...
Since his childhood, and because it runs in the family, Ben Gates (Nicolas Cage) has been obsessed with finding the legendary Knights Templar Treasure, the greatest fortune known to man. As he tries to find and decipher ancient riddles that will lead him to it, Gates is dogged by a one-time colleague turned ruthless enemy (Sean Bean). In a race against time, Gates must steal one of America s most sacred and guarded documents, the Declaration of Independence, or let it and a key clue to the mystery fall into dangerous hands.
National Treasure is a well-made, big budget cash-in on two key properties—the Indiana Jones series and The Da Vinci Code, which at the time was only a multi-million dollar book rather than a film. One might say there's a touch of Tomb Raider and Mission Impossible in there too, but everyone knows that Lara Croft is just Indiana Jones with boobs, and that nobody cares about Ethan Hunt anymore. There is no shame in this, but there also isn't much to get excited about either. At times the adventure seems so familiar that one may forget they aren't watching a remake.
The PG rated film lacks any thematic bite, violent menace, or sexual tension, which sets it apart from more interesting Indiana Jones rip-offs. The lack of suspense is actually pretty shocking. The sidekick's snappy humour and hero's one-liners aren't really funny. Cage looks like he's about to pass out, or as if he's taken one too many muscle relaxants, because there is more or less zero passion behind his performance. The supporting cast does what they can, but the script is much more interested in the intricacies of paranoid counter historical facts and gadgets than dialogue or character development. Again, I can't find it in myself to call National Treasure a bad film, but it doesn't have a lot going for to tell me otherwise.
There are times where the film's consistently awkward trivia tracking becomes a massive hindrance. Occasionally I felt as if I was watching a live action version of Liberty's Kids or The Magic School Bus, or that a 'The More You Know' rainbow was about to spring out of Nicolas Cage's head. Perhaps the biggest letdown, though, is the limp noodle ending. There's really no payoff, emotionally or thematically. The story simply meanders half effectively to the exact spot we knew it was going to end up, minus any sense of climax. It's not even abrupt, really, it just sort of stops being a movie.
Would you like to count Christopher Plummer's moustache hairs? Well here is your chance. This is a top tier high definition transfer, with pin needle sharp details, nearly zero compression noise, and some incandescent colours. The 1080p skin textures are incredibly lifelike, and the skin tones are almost entirely free of any unnatural hues or shading. Colours are sharply separated and pop where appropriate. Contrast is a bit soft, but edges are well cut and blacks as deep as my set allows. Some of the landscape long shots are pretty grainy, and the grain can be pretty thick (though the Washington D.C. skylines might just be rife with pollution).
Well, those Disney title fireworks just about made me crap my pants, time to turn down the system I suspect. Again, as per the norm on my Blu-ray reviews, I still don't a have PCM track friendly sound set up (and again, I remind readers of my Paypal account). The standard Dolby Digital 5.1 track is just about perfect, and shows no obvious signs of compression. The dialogue is clear and audible even during intense action scenes without sounding artificially loud. The LFE track has really intense punch (hence my pant soiling during the title), and the surround channels are filled to the brim when needed. This isn't the most aggressive track, and sometimes the stereo channels are delegated some iffy sound effects (like a hand crank in the centre of the screen), but I've got no complaints.
Jerry Bruckheimer favoured composer Trevor Rabin really sleepwalks through this score, effectively cribbing every one of his previous Bruckheimer bought scores in bits and pieces. The music is especially well mixed with the booming sound effects and shouting voices, but is still sounds an awful lot like Bad Boys II meets [/i]Armageddon[/i].
Disney is good enough to supply fans with a few extra reasons to buy this disc, besides the A/V upgrade. The bonus features begin with a good natured and wryly amusing commentary track featuring director John Turtletaub and actor Justin Bartha. The track is informative and fills the two-plus hour running time well. This is followed by another Blu-ray exclusive extra, a sort of game/series of featurettes called 'Mission History'. The load times are a bit frustrating, but the inclusion of historical and scientific featurettes is great, though I think it would've worked better without the 'game' menu style. It's actually quite a bit of information to digest, and it's presented in high definition.
The rest of the extras can also be found on the original DVD release, and include deleted scenes, including an alternate ending (all with director's commentary and introduction), an animatic version of the opening sequence, and a series of featurettes, trailers, and a trivia track.
The deleted scenes are not high definition or anamorphically enhanced. The scenes are extraneous and there deletion was a good decision. Obviously these aren't all the deleted scenes, because Turtletaub tells us there's almost two hours of deleted footage total.
The featurettes begin with a twelve minute look at encryption and codes called 'Ciphers, Codes, and Codebreakers', which after sitting through almost twenty hours of historic documentaries on the Young Indiana Jones collection seems a little too fast and furious to fully absorb. 'Exploding Charlotte' covers the making of the opening Arctic circle, which included blowing up a boat, in about six and a half minutes. 'To Steal a National Treasure' is a six-minute general behind the scenes EPK. 'On the Set of History' is six minutes of the cast and crew bragging about how cool it was to film the film on location. 'On Location' is eleven minutes of very excitedly edited mix of interviews and raw footage, which more or less covers the same ground as the last two featurettes. 'Treasure Hunters Reveled' and 'The Templar Knights' are semi-historical featurettes, and zip by very fast.
National Treasure is a fluffernutter sandwich—on the outside is bland white bread, and inside is a bunch of processed sugar, sweet and tasty, but full of empty calories. I don't regret missing it for all these years, but don't regret watching it either. The Blu-ray disc looks fantastic, one of the better I've seen since I got my player, and fans should be happy about the added extras.

People of Chesterfield will be given a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity when Barrow Hill Roundhouse plays host to two iconic locomotives from Canada and the USA.
The two trains, A4 4489 Dwight D Eisenhower and A4 60008 Dominion of Canada, will be unveiled this weekend at the centre.
People will be given the chance to see the trains in a genuine working engine shed environment before they depart for their respective home countries next month.
The visit of the two A4s has put Barrow Hill Roundhouse in a very exclusive club – as the trains have only been allowed to visit two other museums in the UK.
Alexa Stott, marketing manager at the roundhouse, said that hosting the two locomotives was an honour.
She added: "The visit of the two A4s has cemented our reputation as a premier venue.
"These are two unique, stunning locomotives and they have only been able to come to this roundhouse. It took 12 months of negotiation for us to make it happen.
"It's massive for the area – we will have thousands of people come from all over and it will bring business to local hotels and restaurants as well."
The roundhouse, which is the last surviving in the UK with an operational turntable, attracts more than 30,000 visitors a year.
During the event, the two A4 locomitives will line up alongside the A2 Blue Peter, as well as the A1 Tornado and the A4 Bittern.
The A4 Bittern was also presented with a plaque last week commemorating its historic 90mph runs in 2013.

Sunil Gulati knows economics. So much so that students at Columbia, where he is a senior lecturer, have been known to spend as many as 13 hours in a registration line to get a spot in his class.
Gulati also knows soccer. So much so that Alan Rothenberg, the founder of Major League Soccer, called him "the single most important person in the development of soccer in this country."
Now we're about to discover whether Gulati knows how to make the two work together because Wednesday, Gulati, president of U.S. Soccer, announced the formation of an eight-team women's professional league that will begin play in the spring.
It's the third time a women's soccer league has been launched in the U.S. in the last 12 years — and the first two lasted just three seasons before folding, with economic issues fueling both collapses.

Hi ! I would like to tell to you a conversation about religion with my grand-parents.Context : 05/may/2013 I said to them that I'm an Agnostic Christian and I explained why I'm hesitate between Atheism and Christianity.1.I said to them that there are contradictions about the official history in the Bible about "Augustus" and my grand-father said something like"This is not a problem". How we can be sure to be right if there are a problem like that ?
3.We spoke about the afterlife and I explained that we have no reason to be sure about the existence of Heaven and Hell and They told me "There are maybe the reincarnation."Conclusion : They are maybe not sure about the Christianity because they don't follow a classic path in spirituality.What to do ?

Other games i'd love to see as part of the launch line up: either Killzone 4 or Resistance 4,
next Sucker Punch project, Media Molecule New IP, Titan Studios new IP, Light Box Interactive new IP and Naughty Dog Next project, leave Gran Turismo 6 for at least 2 years into the console cycle.
I think we will see a new IP from SuckerPunch before Infamous 3 if they even make a Infamous 3.

Athletics says sponsors will help football attendance reach Division 1 compliance
Deputy Director of Athletics Derek van der Merwe confirmed Sunday the football program will be in compliance with NCAA Division 1 attendance requirements this season.
But it did not happen without help from sponsors.
"Most of our sponsors are our advertisers," van der Merwe said. "If you look in the stadium, you can see all the advertising boards we have up. Most of those agreements come with tickets."
Van der Merwe said when Central Michigan negotiates agreements, it has a firm understanding of how many tickets must be involved.
"What we did is we looked at the total number of season tickets purchased, kind of estimated a student-count average through the year and also looked at our paid averages that we've seen," he said. "And on a game-by-game basis, as you get down to the final games, we can make adjustments based upon agreements with sponsors as long as sponsors agree to it."
Last season, CMU did not hit the 15,000 attendance mark — the number needed once every two years to remain Division 1 eligible.
But van der Merwe said CMU did not have to reach out to sponsors as much to hit the 15,000 mark in 2011 because it knew it could wait until this year to remain compliant.
To reach compliance, the school will use the paid-attendance system, rather than the head-count system — two methods the NCAA allows.
Although CMU will meet the attendance benchmark, the announced attendance of 7,223 at Saturday's game is alarming. It was the lowest in at least eight years and students are noticing the sparse crowds.
"It was pathetic," said Romeo sophomore Lindsey Garbarino. "It was so nice out. I feel like people should have been there."
She said her and several other friends came at the beginning of the game, but left after a few minutes.
"We went into the game, and there wasn't anybody there," Garbarino said. "It wasn't fun, so we left."
Rochester senior John Pincura said there needs to be more motives to come to the game.
"I don't think CMU does enough to get people in the stands," he said. "And our tickets are free. I feel like we are still feeling the repercussions from three years ago (when CMU went 12-2). Since then, it has not been at that level except for the (Michigan) State weekend."
Pincura suggested selling alcohol at Kelly/Shorts Stadium, which would help draw a larger crowd.
But Director of Athletics Dave Heeke told CM Life last October that there were no plans to allow alcohol to be sold in the near future and van der Merwe said Sunday there were still no plans to do so.
Instead, van der Merwe said he hopes bringing back a winning culture will help increase attendance.
"I think this a team that has improved, has grown and is putting us in a position to be successful," he said. "We are playing for bowl-eligibility. Coach Enos is clearly starting to push this program to success and starting to lay down the building blocks."

There is a saheeh hadeeth in which the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Whoever helps to kill a Muslim, even with half a word, will meet Allaah with (the words) written between his eyes, 'He has no hope of the mercy of Allaah.'"– i.e., the mercy of Allaah will not descend upon one who helps a kaafir to kill a Muslim. This is what I understand from the hadeeth. Please explain further.
Praise be to Allaah.
This hadeeth was narrated by Ibn Maajah (2620) and al-'Aqeeli in al-Du'afa' (457) and al-Bayhaqi in al-Sunan (8/22). It is a da'eef (weak) hadeeth which is not soundly narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him). Imam Ahmad said: This hadeeth is not saheeh.
Indeed, Abu Haatim ruled it to be mawdoo' (fabricated), and al-Dhahabi agreed with him. Ibn al-Jawzi narrated it in al-Mawdoo'aat (2/104). Ibn Hibbaan said: This is a mawdoo' (fabricated) hadeeth which has no basis.
Ibn Hajar and al-Mundhiri said: (This is) a very weak hadeeth. Al-Zayla'i said: it is a weak (da'eef) hadeeth.
Al-Albaani mentioned it in Da'eef Sunan Ibn Maajah and said: (it is) very weak.
Even though this hadeeth is weak, there is no doubt that helping to kill a Muslim unlawfully is a major sin.
Al-'Izz ibn 'Abd al-Salaam (may Allaah have mercy on him) said in his book al-Qawaa'id:
If you want to know the difference between a minor sin and a major sin, then compare the consequences of the sin with the consequences of a major sin as stated in the texts. If it is less than the least consequences of a major sin, then it is a minor sin. If it is equal to or greater than the least consequences of a major sin, then it is also a major sin. Whoever insults the Lord, may He be glorified, or His Messenger (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), or mocks the Messengers, or disbelieves in one of them, or throws filth at the Ka'bah, or throws the Mus-haf into the garbage – these are major sins, even though sharee'ah does not state clearly that they are major sins. Similarly, if a person holds down a chaste woman for another to commit zina with her, or holds down a Muslim for him to kill him, the evil consequences of that are undoubtedly greater than the consequences of consuming the wealth of an orphan, even though that is also a major sin. Similarly if a person guides the kuffaar to the weak points of the Muslims, even though he knows that they will destroy the Muslims as a result of his help and will take their women and children captive, and plunder their wealth, then this is more serious than his running away from the battle field with no excuse, even though that is a major sin. Similarly if he tells a lie about a person for which he knows that person will be killed, then it is a major sin, but telling a lie which will result in a date being taken away from him, is not a major sin."
Helping a kaafir to kill a Muslim may constitute kufr in some cases. The scholars mentioned things that nullify a person's Islam, one of which is supporting the mushrikeen and helping them against the Muslims. See question no. 33691.
It is not permissible for anyone to take the matter of attributing hadeeth to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) lightly. He Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
"Whoever tells lies about me, it is not like telling lies about anyone else. Whoever tells lies about me deliberately, let him take his place in Hell."[Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 1291; Muslim, 4.]
And he (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said:
"Whoever narrates a hadeeth from me which is known to be false, he is one of the liars."[Narrated by Muslim in the introduction to his Saheeh.]
And al-Nawawi said:
[This hadeeth has been narrated in two versions, one of which says al-kaadhibayn (the two liars – dual form) and the more well-known version which says al-kaadhibeen (the liars – plural).] Al-Qaadi 'Iyaad said: The version which we have says al-kaadhibeen (plural) and Abu Na'eem al-Asbahaani narrated it in his book al-Mustakhraj 'ala Saheeh Muslim from the hadeeth of Samurah, where it says al-kaadhibayn, in the dual form. Some of the imams said that the word yura [translated above as "known to be" as yara [meaning "knowing (himself)." Or it could mean "thinking [that it is false]." In this case the hadeeth means that the person becomes a sinner only when he himself knows or thinks that what he is narrating from the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) is a lie. But if he did not know or think that it was a lie, then there is no sin on him if he narrated it, even if others think that it is false, or know that to be the case. But what we may conclude from this hadeeth is that lying is strongly condemned, and that whoever thinks that what he is narrating is most likely false, but still narrates it, is a liar. How can he not be a liar when he is narrating something that did not happen?
If a person does not have sufficient knowledge to be able to distinguish between a saheeh hadeeth and a da'eef one, then he should ask the scholars who are specialized in this field, and refer to the comments of the imams and scholars that are compiled in books, in accordance with the words of Allaah (interpretation of the meaning):
"So ask of those who know the Scripture, if you know not"[al-Nahl 16:43].

The 10th Chapter of Acts recounts the events surrounding the conversion of the first gentile Christians—those in the household of the Roman Centurian Cornelius. As an artist and a naturalist, I have always been delighted by Peter's vision of the sheet with commingled clean and unclean animals. But my reaction to the story as a follower of Christ is somewhat more complex: it has by turns thrilled, comforted and convicted me, for at various times in my life I have been on both sides of what was actually a double-conversion—of Cornelius the pagan turning to Jesus, and of Peter the Jewish Christian also turning towards Jesus, but away from his surety in who was "in" and who was "out" of the Kingdom of God. In the context of the BioLogos project, the image of Peter being led reluctantly along the Lord's path offers a corrective to the way many—particularly Dr. Al Mohler—have joined the debate over the compatibility of science and faith.
The visions Peter saw of the sheet were, prior to any revelation that he was being sent to a gentile household, offensive to his sense of purity as a devout Jew who respected and loved the Law. Add to this that Cornelius was not just a gentile, but a military commander in the hated occupying forces of Imperial Rome. Though Peter came to understand that the vision meant he was to make no a priori judgments about who could and could not be saved by the grace of Jesus, the command from the Lord to "Get up, Peter. Kill, and eat" was an affront to his identity and was in direct contradiction to what he believed set him and the other Christians apart from the rest of humanity in addition to their confession of Jesus as Lord.
He clearly didn't like it and proceeded with some reservations, but he was at least open to the leading of the Spirit, and was prepared to set his own prejudices aside to see what God was up to. Soon enough, Peter recognized that God was again upending his understanding of reality as much as of the Scriptures, just as He had with the irrational-seeming idea of a Messiah who died, and then the even more outrageous fact of a resurrected Jesus. In the end, the Lord did more than instruct Peter to share the Gospel of Jesus with Cornelius's household, He demonstrated that repentance and belief in the Gospel of Jesus were, alone, the prerequisites for belonging to the family of God by pouring out the Holy Spirit upon the men and women gathered under that Roman roof.
As Peter discovered, our theology is descriptive, not prescriptive; it is our collective and halting attempt to describe in coherent terms what we know of God by what we have seen of His acts and what we have read in His Word—and, above all else, by what we have seen in the acts of the Word, Jesus. And though it morphs into rules we try to impose on the divine and our neighbors, it does not in any way constrain the Lord who is constantly calling us in new ways, through new means, and telling new stories with the most unlikely characters. On the contrary, theology is put to the test not just by our logic, but by the witness of what God is doing in our lives and in the lives of others around the world. Evidence of the Spirit at work is the only true measure we have of our theology; all other measures, including whether it fits our carefully-reasoned arguments of who is in and who is out, are vanity.
But, in very public fora of late, Dr. Al Mohler of the Southern Baptist Theological Seminary has been making it known that he regards those associated with the BioLogos project to be, at best "confused Christians," with the implication being that we may be worse than unbelievers, dangerously leading the gullible to destruction. Despite his focus on the "logic" of our position vis-à-vis the Bible and his very specific definitions of both theology and evolutionary theory, the heart of Mohler's claim that one cannot be a fully-functioning, authentic Christian and hold that God created using the process of evolution, is not, finally, about the compatibility of science and scripture, but about the power of the Holy Spirit. It is about the limits that Dr. Mohler has put on God's ability to redeem and transform whomever He so pleases, in whatever manner He so pleases.
It is the same issue Peter faced when confronted with the vision of the sheet lowered out of heaven, which prepared him to meet Cornelius where he (and his family) were. Having seen the Holy Spirit poured out on these gentiles and former servants of Caesar, he had to ask, "Is there any reason why these should not be baptized?" In short, it is not a matter of whether Dr. Mohler (or Ken Ham, or Jerry Coyne, for that matter) find it reasonable or logically consistent or even in conformation with their readings of scripture, it is a matter of whether God has and is doing His redemptive work in the hearts, minds and lives of men and women who understand evolution to be a true material account of God's creative work that does not in any way constrain God's agency and sovereignty. And that is not an academic issue, but a very concrete and intensely personal one about the lives of those who hold views Dr. Mohler places outside the realm of truly following Christ.
Particularly coming from the head of the largest Southern Baptist seminary, Dr. Mohler's repeated implications and suggestions, if not outright pronouncements, that I and anyone else who does not reject evolutionary processes are, therefore, not Christian in any but a nominal or diminished way, not authentic followers of Jesus no matter what we say and despite the evidence of the Holy Spirit both in us and working through us, seems to me to fly directly in the face of one of the central facets of Baptist tradition—that my salvation and relationship with the Father is not a matter for rulers or authorities or institutions to decide. Is there not a danger that 21st century ecclesiastical rulers and authorities might unwittingly oppose the Spirit through their all-too-human decrees, though their intention be to defend doctrines that are good and true and right?
We in the BioLogos community have on more than one occasion failed in our love precisely as Dr. Mohler and writers on all sides of this debate have. Nevertheless, our President, Darrel Falk, has repeatedly called (and been ridiculed from both left and right) for seeking unity among believers. I do not naively believe that we will miraculously come to a common understanding about the means God used in His creation, or how to read (or even translate) every passage in the Bible, or how best to organize our lives as believers together as Baptists, or Presbyterians, or Nazarenes, or Catholics, etc. Though such divisions, such divorces within the church are the surely result of the hardness of our hearts , our different theological and ecclesiastical traditions may also reflect God's will and his desire to inhabit and work through all the myriad cultural environments in which we live, revealing and highlighting different aspects of His character in each. To the extent that we wrestle with each other over these issues with compassion and love, we demonstrate that even our conflicts may be redeemed by the Lord.
It is no small miracle that the Spirit is uniting a broken, diverse, and far-flung people into one Body, often—if not always—in spite of us, its members. In seeking unity we will see that the diversity within the Body formed by our common claim of being saved by the free, costly gift of God's grace directs us towards a fuller understanding of the glory of God Himself and a greater humility before our brothers and sisters in Christ. Therefore, while it is problematic that Dr. Mohler so warmly agrees with Jerry Coyne regarding the 'logical compatibility' of evolution and religious belief, more hurtful for the Church is Dr. Coyne's nearly gleeful account of the lack of charity within the Christian community. Dr. Mohler's attitude and tone provide what Coyne and others take as another proof that our faith is a foolish and destructive lie.
So, recalling Peter's conversion along with that of Cornelius, I invite Dr. Mohler to refrain from condemning (even by faint praise) those whom the Spirit has sanctified and is sanctifying, and through whom He is calling more of the lost to Himself. More, I invite him to join me at the table as a brother and to put off the too-common practice of acting as if we know everything we need to know about those on the other sides of these issues from what we read on-line.
As Cornelius asked Peter "to stay with them for a few days" to see what the Lord would be teaching them together, I invite Dr. Mohler to come and see what I see in the hearts and lives of people in the BioLogos community. Come and see what I see in the hearts and lives of specific, real live Christians in my adopted home town of Richmond, Virginia. Come and see what I have seen for years in the hearts and lives of men and women of faith directed towards the Lord by their studies of evolutionary biology, and who see the glory of God in the very process you find ugly and abominable. Come see the Spirit at work in hearts and lives focused and unconfused in their pursuit of Jesus and of His Kingdom.

In fifteen years of operation, the Chandra X-ray Observatory has given us a view of the Universe that is largely hidden from telescopes sensitive only to visible light.
Chandra has captured galaxy clusters - the largest gravitationally bound objects in the Universe in the process of forming, and provided the best evidence yet that the cosmos is dominated by a mysterious substance called dark matter. Chandra has observed gas circling near a black hole's event horizon. The atoms of this gas are doomed to destruction by the extreme gravity of the black hole.
Most of the elements necessary for life are forged inside stars and blasted into interstellar space by supernovas. Chandra has tracked these elements with unprecedented accuracy. Young stars are crackling with X-ray flares and other energetic radiation. By monitoring clusters of young stars, Chandra can give us a sense of what our young Sun was like when life was evolving on Earth.

I've loved music for as long as I can remember. As a boy I often found myself thumbing through my mother's records and staring at the album cover artwork. It's how I developed the biggest crush on Minnie Riperton and Natalie Cole. I later discovered many treasures among her modest collection including original releases of John Coltrane's Blue Train and Lush Life recordings. As a teen, I ventured off into the world of Depeche Mode, The Smiths and The Police, but it was public radio that brought me home to my roots. Listening to the local public radio station in my hometown (Baltimore, MD) provided opportunity for greater music appreciation.
Discovering public radio through my love of music has turned into a 20+ year career in public broadcasting. I started working for my hometown public radio station (WEAA) in 1987 and, after a few years there as Music Director and Program Director, accepted a position at Syracuse University and WAER. It was WAER's dual format of music and NPR news that made me the public radio junkie I am today. One of the more rewarding aspects of my job is working with the talented students that walk through our doors everyday and, after 20+ years, I am fortunate to count many of them among my dearest friends. Most of all I enjoy engaging our listeners, donors and business partners because they get what public radio is all about - a platform that allows us to enlighten, engage and entertain without hype or sensationalism.
