After years of priding themselves on their ales, craft brewers have started showing what they can do with lager. This is a very attractive Pilsner style, with a richer flavor than the usual commercial beer but not tiring to the palate and very easy to drink.
It pours light gold with a medium head. The nose is malty with a bready, grassy note, the palate moderately malty, its sweetness balanced with a little crisp hop bitterness (the hops are actually toward the low end for a Pilsner). A quick little burst of bitterness pops up at the end for a clean, mild finish. The alcohol level is 5.3%, which is not going to get you in trouble if you have a couple (but don't drink too fast, player).
This is an easygoing beer that would be comfortable with a lot of backyard snacks, particularly when they involve cheese. Basically, though, it's a "session" beer for socializing.
Quick sip
Style: A smooth, clean, flavorful Pilsner-style lager for lazy summer days
Price: $2.29 for a 22-ounce bottle, or $5.99 for a six-pack
Where to find it: Total Wine stores (for locations, http://www.totalwine.com)

Working Together
Working Together
A city is vibrant, messy, multi-faceted, noisy, full of opportunity and full of needs. How does a small church live within the complexities of a city, maximize the opportunities for ministry and meet those needs?
A city is vibrant, messy, multi-faceted, noisy, full of opportunity and full of needs. How does a small church live within the complexities of a city, maximize the opportunities for ministry, and meet those needs? How does a pastor address the needs of the congregation while also meeting the needs of the surrounding community with limited resources?
True City is a consortium/think tank of like-minded people, pastors, and churches in Hamilton, Ontario, whose focus is: Churches together for the good of the city. They are not an organization. They don't have a structure but instead meet together in small groups, workshops and conferences. Eleven churches from different denominations have covenanted together to be committed to each other and to identify shared areas of mission. They found that collectively, when they pooled their resources, they could really start to impact the city. The churches support each other in running food banks, a clothing depot, serving free meals, running day camps, coordinating sports leagues and much more.
Greg Reader (MDiv '05) and Dallas Friesen (DMin '13) are both involved in True City. Greg is working with International Teams and Dallas is co-pastoring Mount Hamilton Baptist Church with his wife. No one person is in charge of True City.
"Small churches cannot be everything to everybody," says Greg. In the conversations amongst pastors of the covenant churches, there seemed to be a disconnect for some between the traditional roles their congregations were asking of them and what God was calling them to lead the church to do in the community. In 2010, True City facilitators visited each covenant church to meet with church leaders and boards. Having an external perspective, the facilitators were able to bring out the unique stories of each church. From the stories came questions: What is your sense of your church's calling? How can other churches help you fulfill it? How can you help other churches fulfill their calling?
"Every one of these meetings was surprisingly energetic and the ideas that came out were brilliant," says Dallas. Out of these story-telling times came the idea for a conference to answer this question: What does a healthy church and mission look like and how do we help each other grow to be healthy in mission? Most of the eighty people who attended the conference in February 2011 were board members from the core True City churches.
"For some pastors, doing weddings and funerals, and visiting parishioners in the hospital is missional, but for others these activities aren't missional," says Greg. "We can't come up with a standard template for Hamilton." But there's the freedom to explore what missional does mean. True City facilitates a peer learning group where participants can talk about what they are wrestling with and know the safety of spiritual friendship. Through his time with his peers, Dallas knows what's going on in the churches in Hamilton. "I feel easier about just doing what I'm supposed to do. It eases the load. And when someone is looking for a new church, and ours doesn't seem to be the right fit, I can now say try this one here."
"There is a lot of miscommunication in our society," Greg says. "We need to engage in conversations and listen well." He found out that twenty-seven households within a five-block radius of his house attend True City churches. These people have been meeting for coffee, conversation and prayer. Many Christians assume there is an anti-Christian sentiment in Canada that Greg just doesn't think exists.
True City participants don't claim to have all of the answers about what to do. What they are doing is working and learning together to more effectively live the truth in Hamilton.

As exercise crazes go, Zumba has got to be one of the biggest around right now. We explain all there is to know about the Latin-inspired dance workout.
What is Zumba?
Zumba is a dance workout that's great for all-over toning and fitness. You don't need to be a great dancer to do it, and it be great fun to drag your mum, sister and friends along to with you. It aims to make exercise more enjoyable and sexy (so your man can join in too!), while helping you lose weight and tone up. Your local gym will probably host Zumba classes, if not you can find your closest class at zumba.com. The sessions are generally easy to follow but if you're worried about lacking co-ordination, a few classes will help you get into the dance routines. It's like a fast-paced salsa class with extra bum shaking!
How does it work?
Zumba works by making you lose weight and get fit through dancing. By the end of it you'll have worked up a real sweat - without doing any mundane sit-ups or star jumps. Zumba classes are packed full of people of all ages, and the majority are there to have a good giggle and get fit at the same time, so don't worry that you'll feel out of place. You'll also get to learn the basic skills of cumbia, salsa, samba and merengue dancing.
How will it change my shape?
It helps you burn calories and tone your whole body (especially those tricky areas) as you're constantly moving your arms, legs, belly and bum!
What you're telling us about Zumba
'I do Zumba every week, at least during term time anyway, and I absolutely love it, it never fails to make me smile. The instructor has so much energy and passion for it that I just can't help feeling the same, although I'm absolutely shattered afterwards!' Jen Bolton
'Love it love it love it :)' Maggie Pattison
'I'm doing it every week now, I've enjoyed it everytime but at the same time it's killing me - fast and energetic! And I'm 52.' Mida Dixon
How can I do this at home?
Whether you've got 20 minutes to spare or a whole hour, you can work out to Zumba at home with the Zumba Fitness DVD Kit (£49.99, zumbafitness.co.uk). You get toning sticks and a guide to eating right with the pack, as well as six different DVDs. You can also work out to Zumba on a Nintendo Wii with the Zumba Fitness game (£22.47, Amazon) and exercise with the Zumba Fitness DVD box set (£13.40, Amazon).

After more than a decade of work with the magazine, executive online editor Michael Hogan has been promoted to executive digital editor at Vanity Fair. Hogan now will manage all digital projects including VF.com, tablet and mobile applications, and social media ventures. In his tenure as executive online editor, Hogan spearheaded the development of a Vanity Fair tablet edition, two iPhone apps, and a 300 percent rise in traffic to VF.com. Vanity Fair editor Graydon Carter is confident Hogan will flourish at his new post.
Over the past three years, Mike has transformed VF.com into a vibrant destination—the younger, funnier sibling of the magazine that I always knew it could be. I can think of no one better to oversee the magazine's rapidly growing portfolio of digital initiatives.
Vanity Fair's official website is in experienced hands as Chris Tennant has been named editor of VF.com. Tennant is an industry veteran with stints as editor of IMG's Fashion Week Daily, Talk, New York magazine, and Radar.

According to a suit filed in October in federal court, the top administrator at one YSI youth prison regularly made sexual advances toward teenage boys held there in 2010 and 2011 and on at least one occasion brought inmates home with him and into his bedroom. A separate case filed in Florida court in November alleges that a female guard at another YSI facility in 2012 began an "intimate and sexual relationship" with a 14-year-old inmate.
Florida officials at the Department of Juvenile Justice did not investigate these alleged incidents until months and even nearly a year after they occurred, according to accounts from the mothers of the victims and documents obtained by The Huffington Post. This was in part because the for-profit prison operator failed to immediately report the alleged episodes as required under its contracts with the state.
And they sexually abuse the children and keep getting more fat contracts from the Tallahassee criminals that run the "just us" system.

#2663 Mar 27, 2014
01/20/2014 - A pair of recent lawsuits against a private youth prison operator in Florida amplify claims that the company, Youth Services International, has frequently covered up reports that staff sexually abused young people held inside its facilities.
According to a suit filed in October in federal court, the top administrator at one YSI youth prison regularly made sexual advances toward teenage boys held there in 2010 and 2011 and on at least one occasion brought inmates home with him and into his bedroom. A separate case filed in Florida court in November alleges that a female guard at another YSI facility in 2012 began an "intimate and sexual relationship" with a 14-year-old inmate.
Florida officials at the Department of Juvenile Justice did not investigate these alleged incidents until months and even nearly a year after they occurred, according to accounts from the mothers of the victims and documents obtained by The Huffington Post. This was in part because the for-profit prison operator failed to immediately report the alleged episodes as required under its contracts with the state.
The lawsuits reinforce the findings of a recent Huffington Post investigation that revealed more than two decades of abuse and neglect inside private prisons operated by Youth Services International and other companies run by its founder, James Slattery. The series focused particular attention on the state of Florida, which has become emblematic of a nationwide trend in which growing numbers of prisoners of all ages are placed inside institutions operated by for-profit companies. Florida has entirely privatized its youth prisons.
The articles detailed multiple instances of young inmates at YSI facilities in Florida complaining of having been beaten, sexually assaulted or neglected by guards only to have their reports buried or minimized. Former staff at these prisons told HuffPost that the company systematically discouraged employees from reporting mistreatment and other violations in order to avoid imperiling future state contracts.
Florida's Department of Juvenile Justice largely relies on contractors to self-report serious events such as fights, assaults or escapes. Former YSI employees told HuffPost that the state's system created incentives for the company to under-report and cover up incidents of staff misconduct or violence.
Citing the HuffPost investigation, a top Florida lawmaker has called for legislative hearings on abuses inside YSI's prisons. The first is scheduled for Wednesday.
The new allegations fit a pattern documented in HuffPost's earlier investigation, one in which company employees failed to report serious incidents to state authorities. A former employee at Thompson Academy -- the YSI prison where the top administrator allegedly brought inmates home -- says he alerted higher-ups to the administrator's behavior in a formal complaint in October 2011. But corporate officials never called outside authorities as required, according to the employee and state juvenile justice records.
"They used to tell us,'If something's going on, don't call the police, call a supervisor,'" said the former employee, Kamel Warren. "They don't want people to come in, investigate and find out what was really going on in this facility."
State juvenile justice officials did not learn of the administrator's actions until 11 months after the alleged events occurred. Even then, the reports came only after an outside attorney representing former YSI employees heard about the incidents and went directly to the state, according to DJJ complaint logs. Correspondence obtained by HuffPost shows that supervisors at YSI were aware of the allegations involving the administrator but did not report them to the state.

Trips outside a youth prison facility are allowed only in special circumstances, according to state regulations, and a parent typically must give consent. Tomonica Allen, the mother of one of the boys, said she knew nothing of the outside activities until after her son was released. "Every time my child left, why didn't they inform me that he was gone for two, three, four hours?" she said in an interview. "Why didn't I ever know this until he got out?"
The other lawsuit alleges a similar cover-up on the part of YSI. Employees did not report the improper relationship between the guard and the inmate to the state until months later, when the girl's mother discovered the relationship and started calling local police.
State records indicate that Department of Juvenile Justice investigators are looking into the allegations brought up in both lawsuits. But the department has made no formal conclusions, even though officials have been aware of some of the allegations for nearly two years.
A spokeswoman for Florida's Department of Juvenile Justice declined to comment on the two cases, citing the pending investigations.
A lawyer representing YSI, Michael Elkins, wrote in an email that the company intends to "vigorously defend" against the allegations that the Thompson Academy administrator brought boys home with him. Chris Slattery, a YSI vice president who is the son of chief executive James Slattery, said the company "immediately reported" to the state once officials learned of the allegations involving the employee who started a relationship with an inmate.
The federal lawsuit centers on allegations that Craig Ferguson, the top administrator at YSI's Thompson Academy from 2010 through 2012, took boys home with him on at least one occasion and touched them inappropriately both while off campus and at the prison.
Ferguson often summoned the plaintiff to his office inside the facility late at night and would take his shirt off in front of him and rub the boy's back, shoulders and thighs, according to the suit. If the boy declined the advances, Ferguson "would get upset and irritated with plaintiff, and send him back to his bed."
Allen, the plaintiff's mother, whose son was 15 when he was sent to Thompson in early 2011, said he started mentioning the outside trip to Ferguson's home after he was released. She said her son told her that Ferguson instructed the boys not to tell anyone they had been there.
Her son, whose name is being withheld because he was a juvenile at the time, told her he didn't go into Ferguson's bedroom that day, but other boys did.
Ferguson no longer works for YSI. In a phone interview after this article was published Monday, he denied all of the allegations about taking boys home, taking his shirt off and touching them inappropriately, calling the assertions "foolishness."
"All of those charges are false," he said. "People find motivation to do these type of things just for money. I'm surprised they would go so far with an untruth."
Warren, the former Thompson Academy employee, filed a sexual harassment complaint against Ferguson to YSI's corporate office in Sarasota, Fla., in October 2011 that also mentioned the administrator taking boys home. Warren wrote that Ferguson "hid a lot of things from investigators and lawyers. He has taken kids to his house and church with him. He bribes kids and staff."
Warren told HuffPost that a YSI senior vice president, Jesse Williams, acknowledged the allegations that Ferguson took boys home and said the company would investigate.
But state records show the first time the DJJ learned of the incident was more than four months later, in March 2012, when an outside attorney called in to report the allegations. Warren and other guards had mentioned Ferguson's behavior to the lawyer, Michael Hoffman, who was representing them in a separate wage dispute. Hoffman went on to represent Allen's son in the federal suit.
United States
#2665 Mar 27, 2014
Elkins, the YSI lawyer, provided a redacted draft copy of the DJJ's investigation into the case, which confirmed that Ferguson took boys away from the facility but could not confirm whether he had taken them to his home.
Ferguson also pointed to the DJJ inspector general's preliminary findings, which he said proved the allegations against him "are lies."
"That came back unsubstantiated, and I knew that it would," he said.
Elkins noted that a judge dismissed a lawsuit involving Ferguson last year brought by the same lawyer, Hoffman, in state court. The judge dismissed the case because Hoffman failed to meet a filing deadline and had showed up late for a hearing.
The DJJ draft report also concluded that Warren and other lower-level employees should be held accountable for failing to report the incident, even though Warren did report the administrator's actions to his superiors at the company, who then did not relay the allegations to state authorities. The report found that corporate officials were not accountable, however, noting that one of the executives involved was in an "administrative position" and did not have direct contact with youth or guards.
Neither YSI nor state officials responded to additional questions about the investigation.
In the other lawsuit, filed in state court in November, the mother of a former inmate at YSI's Broward Girls Academy alleges that a female guard, Talisha Reddick, initiated a sexual relationship with her daughter when the girl was an inmate there.
Reddick would "punch, hit, slap and physically beat [her] and would also deny [her] bed sheets, food and sanitary items" if the girl refused to comply with her sexual advances, according to the lawsuit. The suit says Reddick continued to pursue the relationship for months after the girl left the facility.
The lawsuit accuses YSI of allowing Reddick to "take advantage of and manipulate" the girl, "whose capacity to protect herself was substantially diminished as a result of her youth, mental health issues and incarceration."
Reddick did not respond to calls seeking comment. Chris Slattery, the company vice president, wrote in an email that YSI believes the allegations are "without merit."
The girl's mother, Bridget Hester, said in a recent interview that she started noticing strange behavior in her daughter after she was released from Broward Girls in September 2012. She constantly missed classes at school, and would disappear at night and on weekends.
Several months later, a friend told Hester she had seen the girl kissing an older woman in a burgundy car. A few days later, in January 2013, Hester said she confronted a woman driving a car that fit the description who was dropping her daughter off outside a relative's home. She sped away, but the girl told her afterward that the woman was Reddick, Hester said.
Her daughter became despondent and refused to go to school, Hester said, and she ended up getting arrested with a group of girls in connection with an attempted carjacking last January. She is now serving time in a state-run prison for young female offenders.
Hester said her daughter opened up about her relationship with Reddick after the arrest, saying she often met the YSI employee for sex in Miami hotels.
Hester said she called Jasir Diab, a YSI regional vice president, on Jan. 21 last year to report Reddick. She also called local law enforcement and the Broward Girls Academy over the next few weeks.
State records show that Pamela Rollins, who heads the Broward Girls facility, called in the complaint to the DJJ on Jan. 28, a week after Hester said she told Diab about the misconduct. Neither Rollins nor Diab responded to requests for comment for this article.
Slattery said YSI reported the allegations "the same day it was brought to our attention." He said the company has no records of earlier conversations about the alleged improper relationship.

The DJJ's inspector general is still investigating the allegations, and the matter is also under criminal investigation by police and prosecutors in Palm Beach County.

Troubled Youth Prison Company Wins Even More Contracts
11/14/2013 8:43 am EST
Despite voluminous evidence that inmates have suffered violence, sexual abuse and neglect inside the facilities of a private juvenile prison operator, the state of Florida has in recent weeks awarded fresh contracts to the company.
Since late October, Florida has granted Youth Services International two new contracts to operate youth prisons, while signaling that YSI is in line to win a third contract to run a facility near Miami. The decision came after The Huffington Post published an extensive investigation that documented more than two decades of abuse at the company's juvenile and adult facilities.
Florida's Department of Juvenile Justice has continued to award tens of millions of dollars worth of prison contracts to YSI, despite a civil rights investigation by the Justice Department and probes into negligence and violent conditions by authorities in at least five states. In the past year alone, the company has already received four new contracts in Florida totaling nearly $37 million.
YSI did not respond to requests for comment about the new contracts. A spokeswoman for Florida's Department of Juvenile Justice, Meghan Speakes Collins, did not respond to questions about YSI, but wrote in an email that the agency has a system to identify contractors who "best support the Department's approach of providing the right service to the right youth at the right time."
She added that the department's "comprehensive oversight" ensures that youth housed in its facilities are "in an environment that is most conducive to their success."
Florida has renewed an additional four existing contracts with YSI over the last two years, including a $29 million, four-year contract to operate the Palm Beach Juvenile Correctional Facility, the company's largest youth prison in the state. A June report from the Bureau of Justice Statistics found that the facility had the highest rate of youth alleging sexual victimization at the hands of other youth or staff, out of 36 facilities reviewed in Florida.
"I think this shows the sorry state of affairs in Florida," said Curtis Hierro, field director for the Dream Defenders, a group of student advocates that has worked on mass incarceration issues and staged a month-long protest of the state's controversial "stand your ground" law at the Florida capitol this summer. "When it comes to incarceration, Florida continues to be at the forefront of being completely inept. The political leadership in this state on both sides of the aisle are going to have to answer to this issue -- to the horrible conditions in YSI's facilities and why they continue to get contracts."
HuffPost's investigation found that Florida's process for choosing juvenile prison contractors fails to scrutinize past problems those companies have faced in other states. For example, when YSI was bidding for a new round of Florida contracts in 2003, its application did not mention that the U.S. Justice Department was investigating rampant abuse and mistreatment of juvenile prisoners at a facility the company ran in Maryland. Nor did executives disclose that an 18-year-old inmate had died of pneumonia at one of the company's Texas boot camps, despite begging to be taken to the hospital.
The company did not mention those incidents because officials were not required to do so, according to Florida's juvenile justice contracting system. If a company currently has contracts in Florida, officials do not examine its record in other states.
United States
#2667 Mar 27, 2014
Speakes Collins, the DJJ spokeswoman, said that comparisons between states can be difficult because of differing standards for juvenile justice. "Evaluating the performance of programs based on their operations in Florida allows for programs to be evaluated on the same criteria," she said.
Yet YSI's record in Florida has also been troublesome. A 2006 review of a YSI facility called Thompson Academy found that 96 percent of staff had left over the previous year, and eight cases of child abuse had been confirmed there. Yet Florida juvenile justice officials renewed YSI's contract.
Past performance counts little in a contractor's evaluation. Up until earlier this year, a company's history accounted for less than one-fourth of a potential contractor's rating. Now, it counts for just slightly more than one-fourth of the final score.

Darren Soto, Democrat - Florida Senate calls for hearings!
A top lawmaker in Florida is calling for a legislative hearing on abuses at the state's juvenile prisons run by the troubled for-profit contractor Youth Services International.
Darren Soto, one of the leading Democrats in the Florida Senate, sent letters Tuesday to fellow lawmakers and the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, which oversees the more than $100 million in state contracts held by YSI. The company was the subject of a two-part Huffington Post investigation that documented more than two decades of abuse at the firm's juvenile and adult facilities across the country.
Soto cited HuffPost's investigation in a request for extensive documentation on the company's contracts and incidents of abuse and violence in its Florida facilities.
"It has come to my attention that there have been multiple complaints of alleged mistreatment, failure to provide services and other abuses by Youth Services International," Soto wrote in the letter to state juvenile justice officials. "It becomes incumbent on us to continually review reports and patterns of abuse to root out bad actors and assure our children are getting the best chance for success."
Soto also sent a letter to Rob Bradley, the Republican chairman of the state Senate's appropriations committee for criminal and civil justice, which oversees the Department of Juvenile Justice. He requested that a committee hearing be scheduled on YSI early in next year's legislative session, "in order to assure that we will have all the necessary information to formulate any potential legislative response."
Soto told HuffPost that ideally a hearing could be held in January or February, but expected that his document requests might delay it until March.
"We'll want to get a lot of that information before the hearing so that we're not just talking without having the statistics," he said.
Tom Griffin, a spokesman for Bradley, said the senator just learned of the issue on Tuesday and was not familiar with YSI. He said it was too early to determine whether to schedule a hearing, but said staff would start researching.
"We're going to utilize staff and all the tools we have at our disposal to look into the issues and uncover any information that we need to," he said.
Representatives from YSI did not respond to requests seeking comment.
A spokeswoman for the Florida Department of Juvenile Justice, Meghan Speakes Collins, wrote in an email that the department is happy to fulfill any information request from lawmakers. She said the department "works hand in hand" with the legislature to ensure it is able to provide "the most appropriate services to our state's at-risk and delinquent youth."
"We have robust policies and procedures to ensure that the youth in our care remain safe and healthy and are given every opportunity to thrive," she wrote.

Despite a track record of abuse that includes a civil rights investigation by the U.S. Justice Department and probes into negligence and violence by authorities in at least five states, Florida has continued to award tens of millions of dollars in juvenile prison contracts to YSI in recent years. In the weeks after HuffPost published its investigation in October, the state awarded YSI two new contracts to operate youth prisons, and signaled that the company could be in line to receive a third contract by early next year.
Another Florida Democrat, Sen. Jeff Clemens, sent an email to members of the same legislative committee last month, writing that HuffPost's investigation painted "an extremely disturbing picture of some of our juvenile justice facilities."
"I believe we owe it to the young people of our state to find out if the allegations in the articles are true, and attempt to solve the problem," he wrote.
A group of Florida student advocates called the Dream Defenders launched a campaign last month aimed at halting future YSI contracts and pushing for broader juvenile justice reforms in the state.
"We're looking to see a united front from our senators and our representatives in calling for a hearing and stopping any further contracts that the Department of Juvenile Justice may grant YSI," said Josh McConnell, a chapter president for the Dream Defenders at the University of Central Florida, who met with Soto last month. "Knowing how deplorable the conditions are in YSI facilities, I hope they jump on board."
YSI, formerly known as Correctional Services Corp., has cultivated strong political connections in Florida since moving its headquarters to Sarasota in the mid-1990s. The company has donated more than $400,000 to state candidates and committees over the past 15 years. Nearly two-thirds of that money has gone to the Florida Republican Party.
Soto said he would have to convince Republicans to join him, but that there was "already some strong evidence" to support further investigation of YSI.
"Certainly I'm only one member," he said. "But with that backdrop, I'm hopeful that we'll have a strong response."

Lorenzo F. Williams, farmer and citizen of the Twenty-fourth District, was born in Carroll County in 1843, and is the ninth in a family of ten children, six of whom are now living. The father, Thomas Williams, was born in North Carolina about 1795, and was of English ancestry. He received a good common-school and business education, and in 1817 married Harriet Blair. In about 1832 he immigrated to Carroll County and settled in the Thirteenth District, where his career ended. He was an active, industrious man, and at the time of his death, which occurred about 1848, was the owner of about 450 acres of land. The mother was also a native of North Carolina, born in 1809 and died about 1857.
The father having died when Lorenzo was but a child, he was reared under the tender care of a mother's watchful eye. He received his education in the neighboring schools, and partly at Parker's Cross Roads in Henderson County. November, 1866, he married Caledonia McCall, a native of Carroll County, born in 1849, and the daughter of Dr. Henry and Frances McCall, of Clarksburg. Eight children were the result of our subject's marriage: Thomas H., Sidney H., Lorenzo P., Lizzie Frances, George W., Marietta, Bertha Mabel and John H.
After marriage our subject settled in the Thirteenth District for one year and then removed to the farm on which he now resides, having owned it three different times. He was in the mercantile business for some time and also lived in Kentucky a year. He is now the owner of 160 acres of valuable land all well improved, three and a half miles northeast of Clarksburg. He is a liberal supporter of all charitable and religious institutions and a Democrat in politics, casting his first presidential vote for Horatio Seymour. He was formerly a member of the Masonic fraternity but is now demitted. Mr. and Mrs. Williams are both prominent members of the Christian Church and are much esteemed citizens.

An Air Force B1 bomber pilot and his wife died Wednesday when a small plane approaching the Colorado Springs Airport slammed into the ground and burst into flames.
The crash just after noon shut down the airport for almost two hours, leaving stranded passengers to board buses en route to Denver International Airport to catch connecting flights.
John McGinley, assistant director of airport operations and maintenance, did not identify the pilot and passenger aboard the single-engine, four-seat Mooney M-20 aircraft.
Will Richardson, a friend who was with the pilot's family at their home in Little Rock, Ark., identified the two as Air Force pilot Martin Anthony Riggan and his wife, Nicole, of Rapid City, S.D.
According to the Federal Aviation Administration, Riggan was the registered owner of the plane.
He had flown planes since high school, enrolled at the Air Force Academy and graduated from there in 2007, Richardson said.
"(Riggan) always had a dream to be in the Air Force," Richardson said.
He moved with Nicole over the summer to Rapid City after being assigned to Ellsworth Air Force Base, Richardson said.
While Anthony worked at the base, Nicole thrived in the city's theater scene.
A graduate of the University of Northern Colorado with degrees in acting and secondary education theater, she directed her first play within months of arriving in the city, according to the Rapid City Journal.
Her first production was "Little Red and the Riding Hoods," a unique take on the old fairy tale that featured motorcycles, in homage to the city's biker culture, the newspaper reported.
"She was bubbly, looking forward to Christmas," said Dennis Gleason, the managing artistic director of the theater, who saw her Tuesday night during an hour-and-a-half rehearsal. "She trusted people, and it usually paid off in the end."
When leaving the city, the couple often chose to fly in "his little Moody," said Anthony Riggan's great aunt, Pat Riggan. They flew the small plane back to Arkansas at Thanksgiving to visit his family.
"He was everybody's darling," Pat Riggan said. "You just have to believe that God has a better plan and we're not aware of it yet."
The plane left Rapid City Regional Airport at 9:18 a.m. Wednesday, and its destination was Colorado Springs, according to the activity log on the website flightaware.com.
McGinley said the FAA notified the Colorado Springs Airport that it had lost contact with the aircraft at 12:01 p.m. Minutes later, witnesses reported a plane had crashed near the airport.
"We don't have a lot of information yet," said Allen Kenitzer, spokesman for the FAA's regional office in Renton, Wash. "The airplane apparently crashed under unknown circumstances after missing an approach into Colorado Springs."
A National Transportation Safety Board team arrived in Colorado Springs on Wednesday to investigate the crash.
Kenitzer said the plane was on instrument approach when it disappeared from radar.
At the time of the crash, visibility at the airport was limited to less than a quarter mile because of fog, the lowest value that such weather stations can report, said Randy Gray, a meteorologist for the National Weather Service in Pueblo.
The ceiling, which measures how far someone can see vertically, was at 100 feet, also the lowest reportable value.
McGinley would not say if pilots were advised of the poor visibility before the crash.
All arriving and departing flights were halted immediately after the crash.
Travelers whose flights were delayed or cancelled were bused to Denver International Airport to make connecting flights.
Gazette writers John Ensslin and Matt Steiner contributed to this report.

Joshua Smith
'History allows us not only to learn about the past, but also to learn about the present...'
Studying towards a Bachelor of Arts in History with a minor in Political Science
Interviewer, Colmar Brunton
Joshua came to study at UC because he was keen to study towards a degree that he had a particular passion for. 'History allows us not only to learn about the past, but also to learn about the present because nearly all the issues of society today had their beginnings in the past,' he says. 'I enjoy learning and developing my own ideas and thoughts.'
In particular, Joshua enjoys his courses looking at Modern History. 'My favourite subject areas are the decline of the great powers in the 19th Century, the rise of Germany and the origins of the First World War, and the interwar years and the rise of fascism and other dictatorships.'
Although studying is made difficult with his cerebral palsy, Joshua is determined to see his goal through to the end to prove he is capable of the challenge of getting a university degree.
'I wanted to prove to myself that I had the ability to do something interesting with my life. It was a direct challenge to myself to improve my self-esteem through achieving something great despite my disability.'
Joshua commends the Disability Resource Service (DSR) for giving him the aid he needed to get this far in his studies.
'Without help from the Disability Service it would not be possible for me to do this degree. It was most important when I was starting out at university, particularly with preparations around essays and exams. The note-taking service and transcribing of notes is incredibly helpful for people with vision impairment problems. The Disability Service is also great for getting people used to the day-in day-out workings of University. For someone who has not studied before or who has fears about the difficulties associated with studying, the Disability Service will provide ample support to make their studying experience worthwhile.'
Joshua has certainly enjoyed his experience at UC so far. 'Good lectures, interesting courses, challenging assessments. UC is a great place to interact with new ideas, hobbies and people of different cultures. It truly is a wondrous place where one can't help but be influenced by the joy of learning new things and expanding your mind.'
Joshua currently works as an Interviewer at Colmar Brunton, a marketing research agency based in Australia. 'It is a job in order to introduce myself into the workforce,' he says. 'It fits in well with my University commitments.' As for a future career, Joshua believes the skills he will gain through his Arts degree will be vital to his success. 'Hopefully I will get a job that can utilize my memory and research skills that I have directly learned from studying, that I can achieve in rather than worrying about my physical limitations.'
Joshua has some sound advice for those that may find starting at UC to be daunting or too much of a challenge.
'The most important thing is to try your hardest. If you put the work in you will get the reward. Remember to ask for help when you need it. Also pick a degree that you are interested in, it will help motivate you to do your best. If you have any doubts about studying just give it a go. There is no failure in trying your best.'

Atletico Madrid goalkeeper David De Gea has been warned about moving to Manchester United by former Reds keeper Ricardo.
Ricardo, now with Osasuna, had three years at United.
"You have to be cautious with transfers, until they happen it's often better to say nothing and not talk about it. All I can say is that de Gea is a very reliable keeper and his career rise has been meteoric and he has dealt with everything very well," he told AS.
Ricardo, now playing his football at Osasuna in La Liga, spoke to the 20-year-old last season and has been impressed with his progress.
He added: "Last season he came to Osasuna with Atletico and I had the chance to talk to him. At the time he was a substitute behind Asenjo. Now he is the keeper of a great team like Atletico Madrid and he should also focus on enjoying it."

Re: John Brockett of New Haven
In reply to:
Re: John Brockett of New Haven
Richard Arwen 8/16/05
I agree with all that you say. It remains for a more able and better located researcher than I to lift the fog of uncertainty from the origins of John Brockett. I am glad and proud to say that I am his descendant regardless of his prior source. My original goal in Genealogy was to find all my original immigrant ancestors on both sides of the family. I include my wife,s family too. For both of us this goes back to the 1600s or at least early 1700s in any direction so the challenge is a good one. English, Scottish and Welch connections beyond that are a great bonus, but I don't measure success by them. In the final analysis, it's all great fun! Thanks again.

Air Travel
With early booking, Leuven can be reached on the conference weekend by air from Madrid & Rome for 100 euros, Dublin 70 Euros, London & Berlin ca. 150 euros, Athens ca. 200 euros (see www.skyscanner.net). Brussels international is the most convenient airport for Leuven, though Charleroi, at around two hours travelling time from Leuven offers many cheap flights.
-If arriving at Brussels international, take a train to Bruxelles Nord/Brussel Noord then to Leuven. Timetables www.sncb.be.
Taxis from the airport to Leuven cost about 50 Euros.
-If arriving at Charleroi, take the shuttle bus to Bruxelles Midi/Brussel Zuid station (NB the bilingual signs), then catch a train from here direct to Leuven (not Louvain la Neuve). For bus details see http://www.charleroi-airport.com/ under 'access', coach transfer. Train timetables: www.sncb.be. Taxis are prohibitively expensive from Charleroi, unless in a group.
Rail travel

Arriving by car
For route planning see www.mappy.com. Many streets in the centre of the city are pedestrian streets and no car traffic is allowed there. In addition the car traffic circulation within the ring-road boundaries has been organized in such a way (loops) so as to discourage people to use their car to get from one place to another. Leuven is a small town and it is quite easy and pleasant to walk to the places you want to get to. Thus you would be advised to leave your car in one of the many public parking places and to continue on foot.

Title: Belonging
Author: Insomniac Abroad
Pairing: Kirk/McCoy
Rating: NC-17
Word Count: 1360
Summary: After a particularly disastrous mission, Len and Jim remind themselves who belongs to whom.
Notes: Written with the prompts light bondage and writing by hand in mind.
From what Jim could tell, he'd had his hands bound with a long scarf, which had then been hooked somewhere above his head. He stood with his feet flat on the floor, shoulders just barely overextended, and felt Len remove his pants and underwear with barely a word.
"Are you going to take the blindfold off?" Jim asked quietly.
Len paused for a moment. "Not until I'm done," he replied.
They'd lost too many today. Too many empty bunks in the junior officer's quarters, and too many occupied beds in sickbay, and all because some Starfleet bigwig wouldn't accept the fact that they wouldn't gain dilithium mining rights. After the surviving members of the landing party were finally stabilized, Len had shown up in Jim's quarters and they had fallen into this routine, just like they always did after especially difficult days.
Len stood in front of Jim and traced his hands gently down the length of his arms, before sliding back up and caressing his face.
"Need you, Len…" Jim breathed softly. "Need this."
"I've got you," Len murmured in reply, dropping his hands to the back of Jim's neck and resting their foreheads against each other. "Not letting you go, not ever."
Jim craned forward until his lips met Len's and kissed him as thoroughly as he could manage. Len responded by pressing forward and slipping his arms around Jim's back to support him as he ground their rapidly hardening cocks together.
And then he had pulled back and Jim honest-to-god whimpered at the loss of contact, even as he felt his heart swell into his throat in anticipation of what was to come. He listened intently, screwing his eyes shut even beneath the blindfold in an attempt to gauge where precisely Len was as he prepared. The first touch came sooner than he expected, on his left thigh, and made him gasp sharply, sending a tremor through his entire body as he felt cool liquid tracing across his skin in familiar spiky loops. He felt Len's breath ghost over his hip, imagining that he could hear the faintest whispers of the words being written on him.
After a few moments, there was the popping sound of Len's knee as he stood up and moved to stand in front of Jim, now working on his chest. For the next hour, Jim's world shrank until it was no larger than the two of them, just breath and gasps and the sensation of the paste being applied to his skin.
Finally—finally—Len stood up and surveyed his work, walking in a circle around Jim and eyeing him so intensely Jim could swear his skin heated up wherever Len's gaze went.
"Perfect…" Len murmured, barely loud enough for Jim to hear. He reached up and unhooked Jim's wrists, though he left them bound together. "Come on… walk with me."
Jim took a hesitant step, hands clutching Len's wrist tightly. Finding nothing on the floor in his way, he continued carefully moving to what he thought was the other end of the room.
"Close your eyes, baby. I'm taking the blindfold off, but I don't want you to see just yet," Len whispered in his ear, standing behind him and untying the black cloth.
They stood still for a moment, Jim straining in anticipation, and then Len whispered "Open," and those shockingly blue eyes snapped open to see their reflection in the full-length mirror on the wall.
All across Jim's body, in a dark paste resembling henna, were written the same words over and over: Do not touch: Property of Leonard H. McCoy. Jim inhaled sharply and let out the breath in a long shudder.
"You're mine, Jim. No one's taking you away from me, no matter what happens," Len growled, and nipped sharply just below Jim's earlobe. "I'm gonna untie those hands of yours but you're not gonna touch anything. We're gonna get in the shower and clean you up and you're not gonna touch yourself or me until I say you can, is that clear?"
"Fuck, Len… whatever you want, I'll do whatever you want, I'm yours," Jim panted, practically vibrating with desire. When Len untied the scarf around his wrists he immediately dropped his arms to his sides, fingers twitching in midair as he fought the urge to touch.
"Shower, come on now," Len instructed, prodding him gently in the small of the back until he began moving. They made their way into the bathroom and Len started the water, eyes still roaming all over Jim's body. He wondered how it would look if Jim actually got those words tattooed on his skin, instead of the semi-permanent dye they used—gorgeous, of course, but it would make this ritual of theirs obsolete.
The water warmed almost immediately and they stepped into the shower, Jim still with his hands straining at his sides. Len ignored his urgency and instead picked up the sponge and began gently scrubbing off the hardened paste, which left the skin below it stained a deep blue. He circled Jim, carefully cleaning him, until he again stood facing him.
Jim was on him in an instant, pulling their bodies flush together and kissing him deeply beneath the spray. Hands roamed Len's slick back, finally moving down to grip his ass tightly.
"I need you inside me…" he hissed against Len's mouth when they pulled apart for breath. "Wanna feel you all over."
Len kissed him again, but only for a moment before he pulled back to turn off the water. They both shivered at the sudden chill of air on their bodies, quickly leaving the bathroom in favor of the bed, stopping only to grab towels to keep the bedding dry.
The pair collapsed on the bed, Len immediately moving to straddle Jim as he attacked his neck with teeth and tongue. Jim let out a moan and slid one hand down, taking both of them in hand and gently squeezing.
"Come on… fuck me now. I'm all yours. Please, I've been waiting for so long," Jim begged.
Len considered drawing it out even longer, but they both had their limits. He needed to lay claim to this part of Jim as well, and Jim needed to be possessed. He stretched over to the bedside table to grab the lube resting there, and wasted no time as he lubed up his fingers and slowly pressed one inside Jim, who keened softly. Len carefully added a second finger, than a third, and Jim pushed against him desperately.
"Please, Len… I'm ready, I need you now," he whimpered, sweat mixing with water from the shower in his hair.
Subduing the small doctorly voice in his head, Len quickly slicked his cock and positioned himself at Jim's entrance, leaning forward and balancing himself on one forearm when Jim wrapped his legs around his waist.
After a momentary pause, Jim let out a strained whimper and Len pushed in, steadily moving until he rested fully inside of Jim. He ran his hand up Jim's body, ghosting over the stained words on his ribcage, then shifted his weight to both arms and pulled out and thrust back in.
There were times when after this ritual he would tenderly make love to Jim, or they would be cheerful and laughing. This was neither—there was a raw urgency to this act, and Len set a forceful rhythm, hardly allowing Jim to thrust back in counterpoint.
It wasn't much longer until Jim, already on a hair trigger from the earlier sensations, reached between them to give his own cock a few strokes and came with a gasping cry. The feeling of Jim's inner muscles spasming was the final straw for Len, who spilled inside of Jim and bit his shoulder to muffle his yell.
Len pulled out and grabbed one of the towels they lay on to clean both of them off, tossing it on the floor to be dealt with later.
Too many had been lost to the Enterprise that day, but Jim still fell asleep in the arms of the man he belonged to and who belonged to him.
