Dr. Mark Husbands of the Hope College religion faculty will present a public lecture on doing Christian Theology in a Secular Age titled "Do Not Go Gentle Into that Good Night," on Tuesday, Feb. 21, at 7 p.m. in the Maas Center auditorium.
The public is invited. Admission is free.
Husbands, who is the Leonard and Marjorie Maas Associate Professor of Reformed Theology at Hope, will be speaking through the "Last Lecture Series" organized by the college's Alcor chapter of the national Mortar Board honorary society to feature members of the faculty. The chapter will give away copies of the book "The Spirit of Early Christian Thought: Seeking the Face of God" by Robert Louis Wilken to the first 50 in attendance, as well as copies of the "Last Lecture" to audience members following the address.
The title of the lecture series, which the chapter initiated during the 2008-09 school year, is rhetorical. The lectures are not literally presented as the last that the speakers will deliver at Hope, but are meant to highlight the advice that they would most want to share if the event was indeed the final opportunity for them to address the college's students. The professors are being asked to reflect on their careers and lives, and to think deeply about what matters to them and about what wisdom they would like to impart.
The concept was inspired by the "Last Lecture" delivered at Carnegie Mellon University by Dr. Randy Pausch on Sept. 18, 2007. Pausch, a member of the Carnegie Mellon faculty who had terminal pancreatic cancer--a fact known at the time that he spoke--presented "Really Achieving Your Childhood Dreams." He died on July 25, 2008, at age 47.
Husbands has been a member of the Hope faculty since 2007. With exemplary training in dogmatic, historical, moral, and philosophical theology, his primary teaching and research emphases are the theology of Karl Barth, the doctrine of reconciliation, political theology, and world Christianity. His courses at Hope have included "Radical Hope and Moral Witness," "Faith Seeking Understanding," "Navigating the Christian Past," "Political Theology and the Rule of Christ", "World Christianity," "Doubt and Faith: Believing Again in a Secular Age" and "Reformed Theology: Calvin and Barth."
He was the opening keynote speaker during the college's most recent Veritas Forum in January 2011, exploring the theological basis for thinking about identity, friendship and community through the address "Friendship, Knowledge and Love: What Emerging Adults Should Learn from Gandalf, Augustine, and Milosz." His involvement in the life of the college has also included leading the focus session "Water, Justice and Christ: Why Water is Thicker Than Blood!" during the college's fall 2009 Critical Issues Symposium, "At Water's Edge: Complacency, Thirst, Action."
Husbands is the editor and co-author of seven books, including "Ancient Faith for the Church's Future," "The Beauty of God: Theology and the Arts," "Essays Catholic and Critical," and "Women, Ministry and the Gospel: Exploring New Paradigms." His monograph, "Karl Barth's Ethics of Prayer," is forthcoming from the prestigious "Columbia Series in Reformed Theology" (Westminster John Knox Press). His scholarship represents the work of a vital inter-disciplinary mind, addressing both historical and contemporary concerns, including the fact/value dichotomy and self interest in economics; wealth, Scripture, and the rule of Christ; John Calvin's doctrine of revelation and Scripture; justice, Barth, and the political worship of the State; U2, justice, and Bonhoeffer; resurrection, ontology and the ministry of women; Verdi's "Requiem"; and the promise of ecumenical dialogue between evangelical Protestantism and Roman Catholicism.
Prior to coming to Hope, Husbands was a member of the theology faculty at Wheaton College, where he had taught since 2001. He had previously held administrative and faculty appointments at Tyndale University College and Seminary in Toronto, Ontario, Canada.
A native of Cardiff, Wales, Husbands was raised in Canada; earning his undergraduate degree from York University (Toronto), he went on to earn a Masters of Religion degree in philosophical theology at Wycliffe College, University of Toronto, writing a master's thesis on the language philosophy of Ludwig Wittgenstein and Martin Heidegger. His doctoral work under the supervision of one of the leading Barth scholars, Professor John Webster (formerly the Lady Margaret Professor of Divinity at Oxford, now Chair of Systematic Theology, University of Aberdeen) led to the completion of a dissertation on Barth's moral theology and actualist ontology.
Mortar Board is a national honor society that recognizes college seniors for outstanding achievement in scholarship, leadership and service, and provides opportunities for continued leadership development, promotes service to college and universities, and encourages lifelong contributions to the global community. Since its founding in 1918, the organization has grown from the four founding chapters to 229 collegiate chapters with nearly 250,000 initiated members across the nation.
The Alcor chapter has existed at Hope since the 1936-37 academic year, although it did not become part of the national Mortar Board organization until 1961. The chapter has received multiple awards at the Mortar Board National Conference during each of the past several years, including being named the top chapter during the national conference in July 2010. During the conference this past summer, the chapter received a "Golden Torch Award," 12 "Project Excellence" awards, and the second annual "First Book Award" for having been the top chapter in the national "Reading is Leading" Virtual Book Drive Challenge.
The chapter also sponsored a "last chance talk" during the 1960s. The idea back then was to invite a faculty member to express his/her ideas under the hypothetical assumption that this would be the last opportunity to address the student body. The late Dr. D. Ivan Dykstra, professor of philosophy, delivered the first "last chance talk" in the spring of 1962.
Also during the Feb. 21 event, Mortar Board will be selling items through two fund-raising projects, offering hand-carved walking sticks for $9 and hand-carved marshmallow throwers with marshmallows for $6. There will also be a free-will donation box to help support the costs of the Last Lecture Series and other Mortar Board service projects. In addition, free copies of Last Lecture addresses delivered since 2010-11 will be available.
The Maas Center is located at 264 Columbia Ave., on Columbia Avenue at 11th Street.

My daughter and I experienced the longest goodbye during my husband's decade-long struggle with Alzheimer's dementia. Henry died in March of this year.
Henry taught me to play bridge more than 30 years ago when we were courting. My daughter, as a little girl, learned how to play the game while sitting on his knee. Playing bridge became a tradition with my family as we played weekly with friends, and whenever we went to California to visit Henry's mother (also a very fine bridge player).
All day today, people across the country are doing the things they love as part of The Longest Day, an Alzheimer's Association event to raise funds and awareness. Some will participate by hiking, cycling, swimming, sailing, bowling, dancing, painting, running, skateboarding or rock climbing. We are playing bridge. The Longest Day gives my daughter Kristen and me a chance to honor his memory in a very tangible way. I am very grateful that Donna Compton, the owner of our bridge club in Dallas, chose to participate in this very special day.
Henry was a brilliant scientist, unfailingly kind and interested in making a difference in the world and in people's lives. He was diagnosed with posterior cortical atrophy, a variant of Alzheimer's, in 2006; but continued working until May of 2009, when he retired after 31 years with the United States Environmental Protection Agency—determined to continue living according to his goals instead of giving in to depression or desperation. He and my daughter stayed active in the community, especially with the YMCA for which they both raised thousands of dollars each year during the Y's scholarship fund drive. Before he passed away, Henry made the decision to donate his body to the University of Texas Southwestern Medical Center Memory Research Unit. Until the very end, he was committed to doing what he could to make a difference.
Participating in The Longest Day allows me to be part of a movement and most importantly, carry on my husband's legacy for the study and eventual eradication of this dreadful disease. My involvement in this event has given me a new perspective on everything we've gone through over the last few years. As I play bridge, I will reflect upon the truly blessed life we had and the nobility with which my dear husband faced his inevitable decline.
I feel as if I owe my service to Henry, to my community and to all of those suffering with Alzheimer's disease as well as their loved ones. Seeing our community and others come together shows me that this disease affects everyone in some way. Sharing our stories, journeys and supporting one another has been an incredible experience. I can only hope that what we do today, in this unified effort, will truly have a lasting impact for the Alzheimer's Association and the fight to find a cure for this devastating disease.
About the Blog Author: Laura Onsgard lives in Dallas, Texas. She is participating in Alzheimer's Association The Longest Day®, a sunrise-to-sunset event to raise funds and awareness for Alzheimer's care, support and research.

Mandatory Kim Jong Un haircuts a baldfaced lie?
Have all male university students in North Korea been ordered to get haircuts like their leader, Kim Jong Un? The Internet certainly says so.world Updated: Mar 27, 2014 14:53 IST
Have all male university students in North Korea been ordered to get haircuts like their leader, Kim Jong Un? The Internet certainly says so.
The thinly sourced reports say an order went out a few weeks ago for university students to buzz cut the sides of their heads just like North Korea's leader. But recent visitors to the country say they haven't seen evidence of any mass haircutting.
The haircut reports started with a story by Washington, DC-based Radio Free Asia, which cited unnamed sources as saying an unwritten directive from somewhere within the ruling Workers' Party went out early this month, causing consternation among students who didn't think the new do would suit them.
It also said the style reminded some of the kind of haircut associated with smugglers in bygone days.
Interesting. Weird.
But reader beware: Many North Korea observers suspect it's a baseless rumor.
"I was there just a few days ago, and no sign of that," said Simon Cockerell of Koyro Tours, which specializes in bringing foreign tourists to North Korea. "It's definitely not true."
An AP journalist in Pyongyang also said he had not seen any recent changes in hairstyles among college students in the capital.
The North Korea-watching website NK News wrote a story debunking the rumor under the headline, "Why men's Kim Jong Un hairstyle requirement is unlikely true."
So maybe the barbers of Pyongyang are still sharpening their scissors. Or perhaps - like a lot of reported oddities about life in largely opaque North Korea - it's just hot air.
Choe Cheong-ha, a defector who left North Korea in 2004, said the country does have its own fashion police - members of a government-run youth organization who routinely check for people who are not dressed appropriately. He said they look for whether people are wearing the mandatory lapel pins with the images of former leaders Kim Il Sung and Kim Jong Il, or for violations such as blue jeans, clothes with English words or above-the-knee dresses for women.
But Choe said directives on hairstyles weren't much of an issue, since most people voluntarily keep their hair neat and conservatively styled.
None of this is to say, however, that hair hasn't been on the minds of North Korean officials - or Internet meme makers - before.
In 2005, the government waged war against men with long hair, calling them unhygienic anti-socialist fools and directing them to wear their hair "socialist style," deriding shabbily coifed men as "blind followers of bourgeois lifestyle." The country's state-run Central TV even identified violators by name and address, exposing them to jeers from other citizens.
The hair campaign, which was dubbed "Let's trim our hair according to socialist lifestyle," required that hair be kept no longer than five centimeters (two inches). But the state trendsetters allowed an exception: old men can grow hair up to seven centimeters (2.8 inches) to hide balding.
The campaign claimed long hair hampers brain activity by taking oxygen away from nerves in the head. It didn't explain why women were allowed to grow long hair.
On the flip side, the Internet has long been fascinated by the unique hairstyles of both Kim Jong Un and his father, Kim Jong Il, who had a one-of-a-kind bouffant. And photos of suggested hairstyles posted outside women's hair salons - the kind of photos a customer points at to speed up the explanation process - are regularly depicted by foreign media as showing the only sanctioned styles North Korean women can choose from.
Not true. But don't tell that to the Internet.

DIY Crafts: Ten Ways to Repurpose an Altoids Tin
Altoids tins are icons of upcycling. Even folks who aren't into DIY crafts often reuse these handy containers for things like storing change or organizing small knick knacks. With a little bit of crafty love, you can turn that humble Altoids container into all sorts of fun creations!
10 DIY Crafts for Old Altoids Tins
1. To Go Candle
If you've got a bunch of old candles that have seen better days, you can recycle that old wax into a new one! Just get a couple of new tealight-sized wicks, place them in your Altoids tin, and melt and pour the remaining wax right in. Green Upgrader shows you more on recycling old candles.

2. Make a Spice Box
Spice boxes are part of the Jewish ritual of Havdalah. If you're not Jewish, you could also fill your decorated tin with herbs like lavender for home made potpourri or with hand-mixed chai tea!

3. Steampunk Altoid Tin
There are so many ways to turn that tin into a piece of art, and I just love this steampunk version!

4. Portable Games Chest
Decorate the outside with a gaming-related collage, toss in some dice, cards, poker chips, and a mini notebook, and you've got games to go!

5. Make a Mini Toolbox

21 Responses to DIY Crafts: Ten Ways to Repurpose an Altoids Tin
I use a re-purposed Altoids tin in my purse as a mini-first aid kit.
I've also made a kit for my son to carry with him when he goes on Scout outings.
It keeps bandages, disinfectant wipes, tweezers, and small doses of things like ibuprofen and allergy medications conveniently contained. 🙂
Loved the mini toolbox! Will definitely try that. I recycle altoid tins all the time.
I either remove the paint with nail polish remover, or I spray paint them and decoupage a name on the lid and make "survival" kits for stocking stuffers with things in them like: safety pins, a mini sewing kit, travel size ibuprofen. You can basically empty out your catchall drawer full of misc items and organize it all into 2-3 tins and give them away.
As a joke, I made containers for the men last year with their names on it and gave them a list of suggestions as to what they could use them for. Some of the suggestions were very funny.
Thanks for the post, I enjoyed it!
Pingback: Sticky Business: Posts We Liked This Week | An Eclectic Blog
We use them in scouts to make first response first aid kits. They are a perfect size for bandaids, an few antiseptic wipes, some gauze, etc. And they fit nicely in packs or the pockets on scout uniforms.
Great ideas, Becky! I, too, love to upcycle metal tin containers. Please feel free to post my images for any of my little altars found at http://www.sacredartimages.com specifically at – http://janiemillsart-images.blogspot.com/p/nichos-and-altars.html
Love it!! How clever. I make handcrafted jewelry and use the tins as gift boxes. Simply cover in some pretty paper, line with cotten and you have the perfect little gift box!
If gift cards will fit in one that would be an awesome use!
I use them at my vanity for jewelry and for powders such as eye shadows. For jewelry, I put a little sticker on the outside that says "silver hoops" or "bracelets", etc. I found that it helps to put in a small piece of shelf liner in the bottom (the webby kind that keeps things from sliding around). I stack them in an old wooden soda crate that has been painted and put on the wall.
For the eye shadows, I was able to pop some of my favorites out of the original containers and stick them down in the altoid tin. This makes all of the colors immediately accessible and keeps the powdery dust in one area rather than all over my vanity top.
I'll post a picture of it on my blog! I've used it for years and forgot how unique is! It's a creative result from the last big economic downturn (1980's).
These tins make a neat little first aid kit for travel. Add a few band aids, antibiotic ointment, cotton puffs, tweezers, cuticle scissors…
I use old altoid tins to hold crayons and I keep these in my car with a coloring book to keep my son busy on long car rides. The tins will hold around 8 crayons each.
I have been looking for something to hold my earphones when I throw them in my gym bag. Altoid tins would be perfect. I could keep extra ear pieces in there too, in case I loose one. Maybe a few bandaids too. Now….I need to find a tin.
I use an Altoid tin for my retainer… it is the perfect size! I keep tissues in another and when I need to store my retainer.. I have a tissue to wrap it in an the empty to store it.. no one is the wiser.
I use one in the Pencil Caddy by the phone … I keep misc. office supplies … paperclips, box clips, rubber bands and one to wrap around the tin so it doesn't get opened and spill out .. when the need for a writing utensil causes chaos in the caddy … I also keep a few small sewing pins and a small eraser … it changes as things get left there and they fit and what goes out and into use again. I also keep the small 1/4 post its or tabs.
I use them in the car for the small 1/2 size colored pencils or half size thin markets in my daughters travel fabric/nylon pop up bin that holds her car games, write & store clip board which the paper store inside with an insert for utensles and a clipboard clasp on the outside to keep it in place … I use a rubber band on all my tins that get tossed a bit as they get loose and pop open….
I too have thought about gluing papers with "labels" of what is inside. I likethe mini first aid kit idea … and sewing kit to go.
In addition to pick me up kits as gifts … a neat idea is to make it a Prayer box … decorated to the individual you are giving it to … there is no rubber banding … when they come out of the box … they have been HEARD … and it is portable for use anytime.
We have used them on walks when we run out of kill jars and need to keep our BUGS and Insects in tact. They make great "maracas" with beans or beads or buttons or rice … (all make different sounds when shaken … Best to GLUE contents in side as they are definitely meant to be bumped around …
I love these tins and have been up-cycling them and other "containers" since I was a teen and first discovered Altoids. AND for whatevr reason when I don't upcycle mine and simply recycle with the rest in the tub .. I feel sad like I am wasting. Not in a hoarders type anxiety or guilt … more a "you're going to need a tin (I use them all over) and you won't have one – I like this topic…. makes me feel creative!
I painted my tin and glued foam "A B C" on the top. Then filled it with a foam alphabet. When my grandson and I would sit in the chair I would get the tin out and pull a letter out. I would ask him what letter it was and also what color it was.
I simply LOVE altoids tins. There are so many possibilities! One time I made a BBQ in a tin with a coat hanger grill, some sticks, and matches. I haven't cooked on it yet, so I hope it tastes okay!
You should also try:
1. Nature museum- you make little dividers from cardboard, put them in the box, decorate, and collect stuff from nature to store in the separate.
2. First Aid Kit
3. Religious Shrine
$. And many more!
Gosh! What great ideas for Altoid tins. THANKS!
I saw the coolest mini stove on You Tube. It was made from an Altoids tin.
YET, the details were terrific. You could use fuel tablets or cotton to start a small VERY small wood fire under the hardware cloth grate. Use your metal cup or small pot to boil water or cook an egg, etc. I can't wait to finish my tin so I can make my first one!!! I know what to make for every outdoors person on my Christmas and Holiday list!
I use one for carrying tea bags.
Thanks for sharing this amazing article. Can't wait to try these with my babies. I have been also referring to https://www.whattoexpect.com/family/ for everything related to pregnancy and babies, and it is quite useful. Hope this helps your readers as well.

Patrick Racing Road Star Warrior
Look maw, no turns!
Pomona, California, July 19, 2002 -- With all of our recent forays out to Los Angeles County Raceway, doing drag strip runs with various machines, I've come to a realization: Drag racing does not suck. In fact, it can be quite exciting. So when we got the invite to attend a little press function out at Pomona to ride a real, honest-to-goodness drag race bike, I was pretty anxious. With more than 150 horsepower and 150 foot-pounds of torque at the rear wheel, the day's ride was sure to be anything but dull.
Showing up at the strip on an already sweltering hot morning, Patrick Racing had two of their Pro Star bikes ready to go, but not before those of us in attendance got the low-down on just what we were about to experience.
The Patrick Racing boys have experience putting together some of the most wicked drag bikes ever created. And though these particular Yamahas are limited by class rules, Nigel Patrick's knowledge and creativity combine to perform some impressive things within the confines of what would appear to be a very confining environment. The fact that the bike was brand new didn't help things either, as Nigel found himself having to dream up new parts from scratch.
Tech BriefingThe Patrick Racing Warrior was designed to compete in the "AMA Hot Rod Cruiser Class" which has comparable rules to the Supersport or Superstock series. Driveline modifications, limited engine mods, and suspension work are allowed but the whole package of the bike plus rider must be greater than 800 lbs.
They've only been working on the Warrior since January of this year- a very limited time of R&D, indeed. But in that short time, they have accomplished much. Due to "an inherently strong engine design," they've kept the stock clutch, transmission and crankshaft. In fact, the bike retains the stock starter and even with an increased compression ratio of 15:1, the Warrior has no problem roaring to life.
Internally, the bike uses Carillo connecting rods, custom-ground cams, custom designed 380-gram, 100mm pistons, and a crank that's been lightened by six pounds (from 47!). Following class regulations, the engine retains the stock 4.4 inch (112mm) stroke. The cylinder heads use oversize valves, and have been worked over to the tune of about a 40% increase in airflow.
On the outside, the (moderately) stock airbox is still used, but it now connects to carburetors of unknown specification. These secrets were the most closely guarded; Nigel would only say that they were "heavily modified downdraft type carburetors." Clear as mud, then. The team hopes to go back to fuel injection soon, but the carbs allowed them to progress quickly. The ignition system still uses a modified version of the stock computer, pushing the rev limiter a few hundred rpm higher.
The swingarm is lengthened, and rear suspension is now rigid, along with lowered front forks. Brakes are stock, with only one front disc retained. To comply with the weight limits, Patrick had to bolt an 80-pound chunk of steel on the front of the bike.Speaking of progress- within three races, the bike set the league record, with a 9.86 ET @ 133 mph at Richmond, Virginia. Sixty-foot times are in the 1.44 to 1.45 second range, around 1/10 of a second quicker than the competition. For a large air-cooled twin, these are some impressive numbers, especially considering the time of development, the limitations of the class rules and how much of the bike is kept stock.
Patrick Racing Road Star Warrior. Could there be any more capitalized words in that name?
Intimidated by a quarterBefore getting myself up to the start line for what would be my only run of the day, I spent considerable time asking Nigel and the bike's officially talented rider Matt, about technique. After watching the other journalists botch launches and shifts and generally flail and wobble down the quarter mile, I was determined to be a shining pupil.
My main concern was the launch which, it seemed, most everybody was botching. The track was, according to all in attendance, the worst drag strip they'd ever run on. Even with a light coating of VHT on track and the bike's professional pilot on board, the best run of the day was barely into the 10s. This, after the same bike had run a 9.86 ET just a few weekends prior. So, it was definitely the track, we opined, and so the theory going into my run was to be gentle with the bike. Just get off the line, roll the throttle open and make sure to hit the first-to-second shift, then focus on getting the power down.
The men who would be my Yodas that day expressed some concern as to whether the air-shifting mechanism was working properly and coached me on what to do if pressing the horn button (which was hooked up to trigger an upshift without having to roll out of the throttle) didn't net me the desired result. I paid them, of course, no mind. Instead, all my focus was on being slow off the line, smooth on the throttle and precise when pressing the horn button.Now, you might be saying to yourself that the thing makes only 150 horsepower, but 150 foot-pounds of torque is quite a bit. And that the Warrior is capable of sub-10 second times on a decent track is quite impressive. It's something that's not hard to wrap your mind around, but the way the thing feels is unexpected. Every twist of the throttle is greeted with a rapid climb in revs, followed by that most excellent blacka-blacka-pop-blacka-blacka orgasmic shuddering as the motor returns to idle where it just sounds like one-quarter of John Force's funny car.
I idled up to the starting line but not before a brief burnout to clean off the rear tire and get the feel for the clutch. I also did a little practice launch to see how the clutch would feel. The result, with very little throttle, was still nothing but a spinning tire and little forward progress. This only confirmed my strategy to just get off the line, get rolling, and then start the run.

Two Huntington Beach councilmen are looking to take on bigger roles in Orange County.
Mayor Pro Tem Matthew Harper is considering running for the 74th Assembly District, while Councilman Joe Carchio is contemplating throwing his name into the Orange County Board of Supervisors election.
This comes on the heels of Assemblyman Allan Mansoor's (R-Costa Mesa) consideration of replacing Supervisor John Moorlach in the 2nd District, an area that encompasses Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa and Newport Beach.
The mayor pro tem said he is looking at two routes: If Mansoor decides to seek reelection in the state assembly, Harper would support that decision and run for Mansoor's position when his term ends in 2016. Alternatively, if the assemblyman chooses to run for county supervisor, Harper would look to succeed him in his state seat in 2014.
The 74th Assembly District covers portions of Huntington Beach, Costa Mesa, Newport Beach, Irvine and Laguna Beach.
"Huntington Beach needs a strong conservative representative, one that understands Huntington Beach and Orange County," Harper said. "With my experience on the high school board for 12 years, on City Council and my experience with the county, that puts me in the best position to effectively represent Huntington Beach in the state Legislature."
Besides his work with the City Council, Harper serves on the Orange County Transportation Authority Board of Directors. He also has some experience with the county, serving as Supervisor Janet Nguyen's deputy chief of staff.
Harper said he was surprised when he heard Mansoor was considering vying for a supervisor seat.
"My plan is to run for reelection, but if Allan Mansoor should decide not to run for reelection, then I would run [for the district]," he said.
Harper's council colleague Joe Carchio is also considering a move. He sent exploratory letters last week to those in the political community, asking if he should run for a supervisor seat.
"I'm waiting for their responses," said Carchio, whose term on the City Council ends in 2014. "If it comes back positive, I will make an announcement. If it doesn't, then I will think of something else to do."
Carchio was the mayor of Huntington Beach in 2010 and currently serves as a liaison to numerous groups, such as the Children's Needs Task Force and the Fourth of July Board.
He said he didn't have post-term plans, but after being approached by people who thought he would be a good candidate to fill Moorlach's position, the council member started to think about running.
"I have the qualifications, and whether to continue is another thing," Carchio said. "I have a feeling in the back of my mind that I'd like to [run for supervisor], but if I'm the only one that thinks that and other people don't, then there's no sense in doing it."

Q. Who owns the telecast rights for Big 12 football?
A. In September 2012, ABC/ESPN and FOX finalized contracts with the Big 12 for football telecast rights through 2024-25. The 13-year deal allows both ABC/ESPN and FOX to place games on over-the-air networks (ABC and FOX) as well as cable outlets (ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU, FOX Sports 1 , FCS and FOX regional sports networks).
Q. How will these new contracts impact football television for 2012 and beyond?
A. The most significant change is that the Big 12 becomes one of a few major conferences to have games on two different over-the-air stations – ABC, the leader in college football television and FOX, the home of MLB, NFL and now Big 12 football. The agreements also allow ABC to place more games on its various ESPN platforms and more opportunities to utilize the "reverse mirror" concept.
Q. What is the reverse mirror?
A. Big 12 football games that originate on ESPN, ESPN2, ESPNU or FOX Sports 1 will be full national games, as will the games on FOX. Games on ABC can be either national or regional. All of the ABC regional telecasts will be available in the Big 12 markets but the bonus is that many of them will also be available in the outer-market on ESPN2 utilizing what is called a reverse mirror. So it means over-the-air (ABC) in the inner-market and cable in the outer-market (ESPN cable). It may not apply to all games.
Q. What are all of the FOX platforms?
A. The FOX Media Group includes the FOX Broadcasting Service (FBS) which is the over-the-air counterpart to ABC. Then there is FOX Sports 1, a nationally distributed cable network. FOX also has regional sports networks like FOX Sports Southwest (FSSW) and FOX Sports Midwest (FSMW) and from time-to-time may place games on alternate channels like FOX Sports Southwest Plus. In addition, FOX College Sports (FCS) is a collection of three nationally distributed channels – FOX College Sports Atlantic, FOX College Sports Central and FOX College Sports Pacific. Any system that carries one of the FOX College Sports channels carries all three.
Q. What does owning the rights entail?
A. At the most basic level it means that the telecast partners control the right to televise games live on all existing and future platforms whether linear (traditional cable or over-the-air distribution) or digital (Internet-based). ABC has the right to televise up to 23 home games involving Big 12 teams. FOX has the rights to all remaining games, except that each institution may retain one game for distribution on a permitted member institution outlet, or it can provide the game back to FOX for telecasts on one of its platforms.
Q. What is a permitted member institution outlet?
A. Each institution may utilize a combination of linear and digital components to create a permitted member institution out which includes: over-the-air stations and/or regional sports networks within the home state of the institution; and/or a traditional linear 24/7 cable network; and/or an institutionally branded digital network. The Longhorn Network is an example of a linear cable network and K-StateHD.TV is an example of an institutionally-branded digital network.
Q. What are the telecast times for Big 12 football games?
A. This is an area where we have to do a good job of educating our fans. In the past the Conference had established windows at 11:30 a.m., 2:30 p.m., and then either 6 or 7 p.m. CT (with an occasional odd time for cable games on ESPN). For the most part The Big 12 will have games at 11 a.m., 2:30 p.m., 6 p.m. and 7 p.m. CT. ESPN has the right to telecast four games later than 7 p.m. CT.
Q. Can Big 12 telecasts go head-to-head against each other?
A. In the past, the various windows were exclusive to the broadcast entity – that means ABC would televise Big 12 games at the same time and FOX would televise Big 12 games at the same time – but they would not go head-to-head very often (with a few exceptions). There are no longer exclusive windows.
Q. Does the Big 12 televise a game in each of these windows every week?
A. No. Big 12 television partners base their selections on the number and quality of games available each week both within and outside of the Big 12 Conference. All Big 12 football games will be televised, but they may not be spread out through each window.
Q. What are the appearance requirements?
A. There are no appearance requirements but all Big 12 controlled football games are televised.
Q. Draft process for selection rights?
A. ABC/ESPN and FOX have established a process and order for selecting games. ABC/ESPN and FOX will have alternating picks with FOX selecting first in even years and ABC/EPSN picking first in odd years. After ESPN has selected its 32nd game, FOX has all remaining picks. The draft is a bit complicated but each network utilizes the selections to determine weekends it will pick first or second or maybe not select a game that week.
Q. What is a member institution retained football game?
A. Each institution may retain one game for distribution on a permitted member institution outlet (e.g. Longhorn Network, K-StateHD.tv), or it can provide the game back to FOX for telecasts on one of its platforms.
Q. How is the member institution retained game designated?
A. FOX designates which games are the member institution retained games each year, and generally it will be a non-conference game. However, FOX may designate a conference game as long as the two teams are from different states.
Q. When are games selected?
A. Most games are selected with either 12-day or six-day notice to the Conference. The networks each have two opportunities (four total) to select games on six days notices annually. On or before June 1, ABC/ESPN and FOX will pre-select games for the first three Saturdays; special-date games (like Thursdays), games on Thanksgiving and Thanksgiving Friday. For the remaining weeks, ABC/ESPN and FOX shall select games no later than Noon CT on the 12th day preceding a Saturday telecast. ABC/ESPN and FOX have the right on four dates to make the final selection no later than Noon CT on the sixth day preceding a Saturday telecast. Generally, homecoming games will be selected at least 12 days in advance, but the Conference must consider an occasional request to use a six-day pick to select a homecoming game of significance.
Q. What about the Thursday games?
A. The Big 12 is required to make available four games per year for telecast on Thursday nights and one game on the Sunday of Labor Day weekend. Additional games may be requested (including Friday night games), but are not required. FOX and ESPN may opt to designate a Friday game as a replacement for a Thurssday.
Q. Why do the networks sometimes switch away from a Big 12 game?
A. Television is a ratings business and there are instances like this that both infringe upon and enhance our telecasts and those of the other conferences. Networks do not like to switch away from a telecast but will sometimes do so when there is a lopsided game in one league and a compelling game in another. For the most part there are markets that are designated as protected - it could be an entire region, the state(s) of the participating team(s) or just the home market(s) of the participating team(s). The networks spend a lot of resources on tweaking this to gain every ratings point they can - and research tells them when to make a switch. Every conference faces the same situation related to these kinds of scenarios.
Q. What do I do if my cable/satellite provider drops, is in dispute or doesn't carry one of the networks that televises Big 12 events?
A. The short answer is to call your provider and ask that they get you the network. The Big 12 plays no role in the direct negotiations between the networks and the carriers and the consumer has the largest amount of leverage. With the exception of FOX College Sports, all of the various ABC/ESPN and FOX platforms are available in more than 70 million homes nationally.
Q. Will the Big 12 develop its own channel like several other conferences have?
A. At this time, the membership is committed to its current partnerships with ABC/ESPN and FOX and has opted to allow member institutions to build individual channels or networks via linear or digital distribution platforms rather than a dedicated Big 12 channel.
Q. But what is the Big 12 Network I see?
A. The Big 12 Digital Network is part of our website. In previous years, the Big 12 Network was a branded syndicated programming of Big 12 men's basketball – a collection of over-the-air stations (and various regional sports networks) that air Conference basketball via syndicated programming through ESPN Regional Television. It no longer exists as those games (in most cases) have moved to ESPNU or ESPNEWS.
Q. Who selects the announcers for Big 12 football?
A. The Big 12 does not play a role in the selection of talent or production crews but reviews and critiques all telecasts; and, provides input to its telecast partners.
Q. Why aren't all games telecast in HD?
A. Television entities continue to make major strides in moving all games to HD. Only games on FOX College Sports are not in HD at this time.
Q. Can you explain the commercial format for a Big 12 football telecast?
A. ABC/ESPN and FOX have slightly different commercial break formats, with all breaks being in the two minute range (plus some buffer time). ABC/ESPN utilizes a standard format of three breaks in the first and third quarters and four breaks in the second and fourth quarters. They are guaranteed two one-minute floaters to insert during natural stops in play (after a score, an injury, instant replay). FOX takes four breaks in each quarter.
Q. What role does television play in instant replay?
A. The instant replay booth is connected by both video and audio to the television production truck, which provides the booth with all available video upon request of the replay officials. For member institution retained games either FOX or the school network will provide the video feed to the instant replay booth.
Q. What about the revenue?
A. The Big 12 cannot comment on the rights fee paid by ABC/ESPN and FOX. However, combined with the revenue each institution is receiving for local package rights, Big 12 member institutions are on par with or exceed the revenue of their peer conferences. All television revenue received from ABC/ESPN and FOX is divided equally among members, but each member retains the revenue it receives for their local packages (whether or not they are with FOX, ABC/ESPN or another entity).

The piping plover is a small shorebird that nests in the three separate geographic populations in the U.S.: the Great Plains states, the shores of the Great Lakes, and the shores of the Atlantic coast. Birds from all populations winter on the southern Atlantic and Gulf coasts in the U.S. This website features the Great Lakes population, which is listed as endangered under the federal Endangered Species Act.
Recovery actions in Michigan, aided by many volunteers, has helped the plover population to steadily increase. In 2008, there were 63 breeding pairs (126 individuals). Of these, 53 pairs nested in Michigan, while 10 were found outside the state, including six pairs in Wisconsin and four in Ontario, Canada. A single breeding pair discovered in 2007 in the Great Lakes region of Canada represented the first confirmed piping plover nest there in over 30 years, and in 2008 the number of nesting pairs further increased to four. In 2009, a pair nested on the Lake Michigan shoreline in Illinois, the first nest in Illinois in 30 years.

Oilers 4, Flames 1 – Game 35 – 2013-04-01 @ 7:30 PM MST – SNETW
So, to start.. LADI SMID!! An Oiler for at least 4 more years (@ $3.5M per year). Excellent news. A lot of people just don't fully realize just how good a defensive defenceman Smid is. He is an excellent shutdown defenseman. These types of defensemen are often unheralded. In my opinion, if you are a defenseman, you should excel at your end of the rink before you excel at the other… so I have far more respect for the Orpik, Smid, Girardi types more than I do a Byfuglien, Gonchar, Campbell types. Anyways, Smid's deal is on the low end for a shutdown defenseman, especially considering that he is solid ont he breakout. He's everything this high flying offensive team will need to be successful, and I'm very happy about this. A couple quick stats for you here: Smid is 15th in Hits this year, 4th in blocked shots (only 3 behind the leader). Last year he finished 7th in blocks.
Now on to rumors… rumor has it the Oilers are going to hang on to Ryan Whitney for their playoff drive. I'm OK with this. Chances are the value out there for him is horrid. I'd say, at best, they are looking at a 2nd rounder.. maybe a little more. We don't really need draft picks as much as we'd need a solid defender. I'm not sold that Whintey is that solid of a defender, but he's been playing a lot better as of late. I always hope for the best with our players, so I hope he can prove everyone wrong about him (including me).
The Oilers are also said to be looking to offer Khabibulin another year. This one.. I just don't know. I will say that Khabibulin is obviously a superb teammate and great influence on Dubnyk. However, we are talking about a guy who's played all of EIGHT GAMES this year and has shown signs of fatigue after at least 3 of those. It is definitely time for this gentleman to retire, if you ask me. The tough thing is, in games that he played this year, he has almost always been stellar. So that makes it tough for a guy to think "I am done here..". It would be nice if the Oilers offered him a coaching job. I think fans don't realize just how good a team guy he is. He's extremely well liked by the other players, including Dubnyk who speaks very highly of him. But when a guy is done, a guy is done. I don't see how we can realistically go into next year with a guy who tires out playing an eight of the season. Dubnyk can't manage the rest of the load, and we'd be foolish to pick up another goalie and go with a 3-headed monster again.
On to tonight's game.. the Oilers are on a high.. the Flames traded away their best player… we should smoke them. I will be unhappy with anything other than a regulation win. The Flames will want to win with hard work.. the Oilers will have to work hard as well. Hard work often beats skill.
No word on lineups just yet, but I'd imagine they stay pretty much the same. I'd like to see Fistric back in, in place of Potter, perhaps. He's falling too quickly out of favor, I think, but I like him.
Edit: Forgot that Lander got called up.. he'll be in for sure. I'm guessing he centers line 4, Jones sits, and Smyth plays with Horcoff and Yak.

Israel News - Stay Informed, Pray Informed
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Tuesday issued another thinly-veiled threat to strike Iran's nuclear program if it continues, and a retired senior security official warned that the Israeli leader is deadly serious.
Speaking at a ceremony marking the anniversary of the Yom Kippur War, Netanyahu explained that the surprise Arab attack in 1973 had taught Israel to "never underestimate a threat" and that "we can't surrender the option of a preventive strike."
Some Israeli leaders, including then Defense Minister Moshe Dayan, at one point feared they would lose the Yom Kippur War and that the reborn State of Israel would be annihilated.
Netanyahu said that while launching preemptive attacks was a heavy decision to take, the price Israel could pay for doing nothing often justified such action.
Israeli officials later confirmed that the prime minister was most definitely alluding to the Iran nuclear threat.
In remarks to the Jerusalem Post earlier this week, a retired high-ranking Israeli army official said the world needs to take Netanyahu's threat very seriously.
"Bibi's not bluffing," he said, using the prime minister's nickname. "He thinks it's the 1930s. The Iranians are the Germans, and history has a sense of humor with six million Jews now in Israel."
Of course, as students of Jewish history know, their nation's past does have a way of repeating itself, often with catastrophic results.
While most of Israel's intelligence and military leaders currently oppose striking Iran, the official said Netanyahu has the ability to achieve consensus for an attack if he deems its necessary.

Andrew Qappik
Canadian, b. 1964
With Open Mind, 1992
lithograph on paper, 19/45
40.8 x 49.9 cm Image: 35.5 x 46.8 cm
Collection of the Winnipeg Art Gallery; Given by the Council for Canadian American Relations through the generosity of H.G. Jones
When a printshop was established in Pangnirtung in 1973, eight-year-old Andrew Qappik watched his uncles Solomon and Imoona Karpik at work, and they encouraged him to draw. In 1978 five of his drawings were published as prints in the Pangnirtung annual collection. Since then, Qappik's prints have been included in every Pangnirtung annual collection, and in 1999 his designs were selected for the coat-of-arms and flag of the newly created Canadian territory of Nunavut. Qappik is one of a few young Inuit artists who expand the boundaries of Inuit imagery, reflecting modern-day life and artistic concerns. In this lithograph he applies his realistic style to a shamanic transformation and interprets it in a contemporary manner, stating: "A shaman would have a champion animal which he or she could become...Today the transformation occurs in humans with an open mind."

How do the latest Mellanox adapters compare? I have been quite vocal in the past against the merit of high packet rate, but I have learned to appreciate it. There is a set of applications that can benefit from it, especially at scale. Actually, packet rate is much more important outside of HPC (where application throughput is what money buys). However, I would pay attention to a different problem with many-core machines. Each user-space process uses a dedicated set of NIC resources, and this can be a problem with 48 cores per node (it affects all vendors, even if they swear otherwise). You may want to consider multiple NICs, unless you know that only a subset of the cores are communicating through the network (hybrid MPI/Open-MP model for example) or that the multiplexing overhead is not a big deal for you. > On a similar note, does a dual-port card provide an increase in > on-card processing, or 'just' another link? (The increased bandwidth is > certainly nice, even in a flat switched network, I'm sure!) You need PCIe Gen2 x16 to saturate a 32 Gb/s QDR link. There is no such NIC on the market AFAIK (only Gen1 x16 or Gen2 x8). But even then, you won't have any PCIe bandwidth left to drive a second port on the same NIC. There may be other rationales for a second port, but bandwidth is not one of them. Patrick

A letter in the July 23, 2013, Tomahawk Leader:
Hats off to our "young" Tomahawk people –
Being the "grandma" of the group of 22 people from Grace Lutheran Church who just returned from the trip of our life to Africa, I feel I need to write this letter.
We had the most wonderful group of young people who accompanied us "old folk" from the Tomahawk area who made us so proud. The interaction between the young folks and our young partners in Africa was so very warming and wonderful that it made us feel like we have publicly sent a whole lot of "warm fuzzies" out to them. They were just great. There really was not a time that when they were helping, playing or just visiting and making us so proud of them.
All of you people should take time and let them know, too, how very proud of them we here in Tomahawk are.
God bless,
Marie Stark
Young folks who went: Michaela Golganski, Chase Hilgendorf, Aaron and Abrina Leonard, Anna, Rachel, Sarah Sudbury, Nicole, Stephanie Wilke.
Wonderful group of young folks

Frankenstein in Brisbane, Part 5:
Sit Up and Take Notice
The Monster in dramatic silhouette dares Brisbanians to see Frankenstein, June 1932. They responded in droves.
, accompanies a photo of Mae Clarke's bedside swoon.
Frankenstein was pronounced "The picture that is making Brisbane sit up and take notice" and, indeed, its showing at the Tivoli was immediately followed by a stint at the Majestic, and then on to a third week at the Valley.
". Repurposed in 1927 as a cinema, the Tivoli was then billed as "Brisbane's Most Popular Talkie House". It would fall to urban renewal in the late Sixties.
By the time Frankenstein played Brisbane, the film was already a top box-office draw. As we've seen over this series of posts, the PR people at the Tivoli, with bold ads and even an in-person Frankenstein appearance, made sure that everyone knew that The Monster was in town.
In weeks to come, we'll visit other towns and enterprising theaters all over the world where Frankenstein was rolled out in style.

More great stuff, Pierre.
I see that the Majestic Theatre doubled FRANKENSTEIN with THE YELLOW TICKET which features Boris Karloff in a quick one-scene role.

Nice catch, Rick. Bound to happen, as Karloff appeared in 24 films over 1931/32. Digging through old newspapers, I've spotted many an occasion where FRANKENSTEIN was in town concurrently with other Karloff films, notably THE GUILTY GENERATION and THE PUBLIC DEFENDER.

When the New Orleans City Council passed an ordinance in October prohibiting "aggressive solicitation" by people who allegedly harass or intimidate French Quarter residents and tourists while asking for money, it included a seemingly unrelated provision that attracted no attention at the time.
That sentence, almost at the end of the eight-page ordinance, said: "It shall be prohibited for any person or group of persons to loiter or congregate on Bourbon Street for the purpose of disseminating any social, political or religious message between the hours of sunset and sunrise."
Although the law, sponsored by Councilwoman Kristin Gisleson Palmer, spelled out the justification for the crackdown on aggressive panhandlers, it offered no explanation for the blanket ban on letting people assemble on Bourbon Street at night to voice their views on politics or religion.
When someone complained about the law this week, however, it was not to challenge it as an infringement on First Amendment freedoms. Instead, former mayoral candidate Leo Watermeier complained to Palmer and Councilwoman Jackie Clarkson in public emails that religious demonstrators, sometimes with large signs and bullhorns, have been showing up on Bourbon Street on Friday and Saturday nights, yet police have taken no action against them.
Watermeier wages an annual battle with the small group of anti-gay campaigners who show up during the Southern Decadence festival, using bullhorns and picket signs to convey their message that homosexuality is evil and that its public celebration during Decadence is particularly abominable.
