Enthusiast disappointment with the specs of a new piece of hardware is totally different from investor disappointment with a whole product line being out of commission for a quarter. Even still, the reality is the stock has hardly been effected. I'd have expected a much stronger pullback toward 25 on that news, and maybe that'll happen over a longer period and I'll get my buying opp, but just as possible is a retracement to test 34 again. In any case a pullback from new highs at 34 back to 31 is nothing but a blip, not even a spike. It looks to me like the investment community remains quite bullish for AAPL to recover against a downmarket trend in the NAZ. Apparently I'm not the only one looking for an AAPL buying opp. Except for Friday's open which later rallied, AAPL's been tracking the Naz pretty closely day to day, which is what it usually does.

The Great Eastern Hotel was once described as "the finest hotel east of Suez." Opened in 1840, India's first luxury hotel was frequented by numerous dignitaries and celebrities, including Mahatma Gandhi, Nikita Kruschev and Mark Twain. After falling into disrepair for several years, the Great Eastern has been carefully restored and will reopen as a 244-room luxury hotel — replete with a modern incarnation of its legendary Maxim bar — in November. The rebirth of this Kolkata icon underscores the positive current sweeping through India's second-largest city.
A new airport terminal has opened, Kolkata's first skyscraper is under construction, and recently a handful of glitzy malls have sprung up. Yet Kolkata's fascination for clients resides in its intriguing backstory rather than its increasing modernity.
On my walking tour with Calcutta Photo Tours, Manjit Singh Hoonjan, the company's founder, explained the history behind the city's rich and varied architecture.
"The history of Kolkata is local, but its finest buildings are European," said Hoonjan, as we stood in the watery early morning light beside the Great Eastern Hotel.
British colonial intervention in the 1700s saw Kolkata (its name was changed from Calcutta to Kolkata to match its native Bengali pronunciation in 2001) transformed by grandiose municipal buildings, offices, churches, hotels and gardens. Yet despite becoming the capital of British-ruled India, Kolkata retained its proud cultural pre-eminence.
"There was a popular saying: 'What Kolkata thinks today, the rest of India will think tomorrow,'" Hoonjan said.
The city's ambitious 18th-century development saw a huge influx of immigrants from across India, China and Europe, who would construct and maintain a grand city dedicated to global trade and commerce. The diverse cultural and architectural legacy is highlighted by British, Armenian and Portuguese churches, synagogues, mosques and Buddhist and Jain temples. Unsurprisingly, Joonjan's most popular walking tour is titled "Cultural Kaleidoscope."
Even at the start of our early morning walk, the city heat began to rise as Kolkata woke to another broiling hot day. From the Great Eastern Hotel, we ambled to B. B. D. Bagh, previously known as Dalhousie Square, the administrative center of British colonial Kolkata. Picturesque European constructs around the square included the redbrick Writers Building, dating from 1780, the whitewashed General Post Office and the magnificent High Court.
As we stood admiring the time-worn Standard Assurance office, featuring carved stone symbols of life and death over the arched entrance, an aged tram from the 18th century chugged past. In 1905, Kolkata became one of the first Asian cities to have an electrified tram system. Now the city is phasing out its iconic old tramcars and replacing them with new, air-conditioned models.
We concluded our tour in the peaceful grounds near the old city center, beneath the soaring steeple of St. John's Church. The church was built to resemble St. Martin in the Fields in London's Trafalgar Square and houses German painter Johan Zoffany's 1787 masterpiece, "Last Supper." The painting reinterprets the biblical scene with members of Kolkata's British aristocracy seated at the table. In the cemetery, Joonjan showed me the mausoleum of Job Charnock, Kolkata's founder, who died in the city in 1692.
Inspired by Joonjan's historical insight, I decided to investigate Kolkata further after the tour. My first stop was Eden Gardens. Cricket is an abiding passion in India, and Eden Gardens is the country's most famous cricket stadium. Even for clients unfamiliar with the game, the raucous atmosphere on match day is infectious.
Next, I walked through Chowringhee, once the center of high society in Kolkata, past a statue of Indira Gandhi, and on to Victoria Memorial. This extravagant marble palace is set amid beautiful gardens and was built by the British to replicate the Taj Mahal and glorify the reign of Queen Victoria, Empress of India. In fact, it was nicknamed the "Taj of the Raj."
After seeing such lavish ostentation, I navigated Kolkata's less salubrious backstreets to reach my final destination. Mother Teresa's Mother House is a missionary training center established by the Nobel Peace Prize-winner in the late 1940s. Over the next 50 years, Mother Teresa set up scores of hospitals, schools and hostels for Kolkata's poorest and sickest slum dwellers. A small museum documents her remarkable life story, and visitors can see the dorm room where she lived until her death in 1997.
The most humbling moment of my visit came at the end, standing beside the tomb of one of the 20th century's most remarkable public servants. Of all the magnificent sites that represent Kolkata's history, this one should not be missed.

Was Bach a Rationalist, Pietist, Neither, or Both?
When Bach was nine, two seemingly unrelated events occurred. First was the birth of one who would come to epitomize the Enlightenment, Francois Marie Arouet, better known as Voltaire. Bach's and Voltaire's paths would nearly cross fifty years later, in Potsdam, when both men would entertain Frederick the Great of Prussia--Bach with his Musical Offering, and Voltaire with his satire of, among other things, faith and religion. Most people think of Voltaire as an atheist; he was actually a deist, a loose label denoting one who believes in God but denies any personal expression thereof, such as the virgin birth and the deity of Christ. Beliefs like those of Voltaire and his contemporaries came to permeate European thought to the extent that nothing, especially religion, would ever be quite the same. The rationalism of the Enlightenment was bound to come into conflict with the seemingly irrational tenets of the Reformation, namely, salvation through faith, and Divine revelation through Scripture.
The second important event of 1694 was that Bach's parents died. The young orphan went to Ohrdruf under the custody of his brother John Christoph. Ohrdruf was at that time safe haven for the most radical elements of Pietism. The school that Bach attended, however, was Orthodox--its teachers required to pledge loyalty to the doctrinal positions of the Formulae Concordatae. Nevertheless, it is difficult to imagine that the schism dividing the city would have not left its mark on Bach's young mind. The Pietists advocated an almost mystical interpretation of faith and Scripture, an interpretation most contrary to rationalism, namely, that faith would come only after personal awareness of the magnitude of Christ's sacrifice and that the true meaning of Scripture would be revealed only after intense and pious contemplation.
Ironically, both Pietism and Rationalism manifested themselves in Bach's lifetime in ways that were hurtful to music, therefore unacceptable to the composer. The more radical Pietistic element subscribed to a puritanical view of the arts in general and music in particular. They considered the arias and recitatives of Italian opera to be inappropriate for Christian worship, and they sought to restrict music in the church to congregational song. The Rationalists, by contrast, wished to do away with what they considered to be anachronistic chorale tunes and words and replace them with a simpler, more understandable, style.
After Ohrdruf Bach encountered Pietism again at Mühlhausen, where he served as organist at the church of St. Blasius. The pastor of the Blasiuskirchen, Johann Adolph Frohne, was a Pietist. The other church in Mühlhausen, St. Mary's, was pastored by Georg Christian Eilmar, a personal friend of Bach's and a staunchly orthodox Lutheran. Thus, while his employment--and possibly his private beliefs--inclined him to be sympathetic toward the intensified devotional experience of Pietism, his talents, training, common sense, and friendships bound him to the other. At any time the authorities could have forced Bach to declare his position openly, something that Bach could not have done without alienating both camps.
What was Bach's attitude toward Pietism? Among Bach scholars this is a matter of no small debate. Those in the minority, those who say that Bach was himself a Pietist, point to his occasional refusal to toe the orthodox line in the selection of texts and librettos, many of which exhibit Pietistic influence. They also remember the composer's library which contained works by Pietistic theologians. Those in the majority point to the incongruity of a composer of Bach's stature aligning himself with a movement that in some places was positively antagonistic toward music. The truth probably lies somewhere in between, as expressed by the following excerpts from Leo Schrade's essay Bach: the Conflict Between Sacred and Secular. Of Bach's tenure in Mühlhausen, Schrade feels confident enough to write:
Pietism had now become for Bach an idea which involved his own religious and artistic feelings, quite apart from all its outward implications. We know what books were in Bach's own library, and that among them theological works had an outstanding place. We also know the scope of the Pietistic writings he possessed. A good many of the works in which the religious movement found expression were in his hands.... It is Pietism that inspires Bach's attitude toward the religious text that is to be transformed into music. It is Pietism that accounts for his unswerving resolve to approach the concealed meaning of the word, for his devout contemplation of the religious value inherent in the word, and for his anxiety to do full justice to the word whose religious connotations the artistic form must not injure.In his farewell to the Pietistic church in Mühlhausen--one of his most quoted documents--Bach reminds the reader that he had accepted the position in order to construct "a well-regulated church music to the glory of God," but that he had been hindered in this goal and wished, therefore, to resign. Bach left Mühlhausen for court appointments in Weimar then Anhalt-Cöthen. It was these years that Bach later called the happiest in his life. It was the compositions of these years to which Bach's enlightened sons turned, and our own culture turns, most often.
If Pietism produced Bach's characteristic approach to the Holy Word, it was also responsible for many a conflict he had to undergo. We can imagine how deeply this conflict affected him, if we take into full consideration that his artistic goal was once and for all church music; that church music called for a reorganization; that Bach was about to make the individual artist alone responsible for the creation of church music so organized that it would interpret the Holy Word in the spirit of Pietism; furthermore, that this goal was possible only within the forms of the orthodox church and could never be reached within Pietism; and finally, that Pietism must have repelled Bach because of its denial of artistic music while it still attracted him for personal religious reasons. And it is this contradictory situation that wrested from him the final decision. There was no escape for the man placed in the midst of antagonistic parties. As a matter of fact, he had no choice; he did the only thing he could--he left the place.
In 1723 Bach took a huge cut in salary to return to the service of the Church, this time in Leipzig where he continued to his death in 1750. While in Leipzig Bach wrote what are, arguably, his most important compositions: his passions and oratorios, most of the cantatas, the B-Minor Mass (see YouTube instructions), the Musical Offering, and Art of the Fugue. While the sacred music of this period, with the exception of the Mass, demonstrates Pietistic influence, there is also an increased preoccupation with symbolism and numerical artifice.
In 1747, three years before his death, Bach joined the Society for Musical Sciences--the so-called "Mizler Society"--a colloquium of mathematicians, philosophers, and artists dedicated to the proposition that mathematical rubrics could be used to explain artistic, philosophic, and cosmic phenomena. Mizler, a former student of Bach's, offered a reward to anyone who could prove mathematically why parallel fifths were undesirable. Association with this society was certainly a gesture of homage on Bach's part to the tenets of eighteenth-century style Rationalism. The musical work best representing Bach's intellectual assent to such rationalism is his Musical Offering. Here Bach improvises upon a theme given to him by Frederick the Great, turning it into an hour-long series of cleverly disguised canons and ricercare.
While his Musical Offering and membership in Mizler's society would indicate that he was a Rationalist, nearly everything else in his life suggests that J. S. Bach was at least sympathetic toward Pietism. So what was he: a Rationalist, Pietist, neither, or both? The answer is probably best seen in his eclectic musical tastes and influences. With respect to the music of his own day, Bach studied the most up-to-date Italian and French models, incorporating features of both styles into his own works. But his interest in modern music did not come at the expense of ancient models--the stile antico--which he continued to study, assiduously, until the day he died. Thus, J. S. Bach was willing to consider many points of view and come to his own conclusions. We have every reason to believe that in his devotional life Bach was at least as eclectic. In that sense Bach was probably a little of both.

NOTE: While new carpeting is being installed at the Oshtemo Branch Library, access to some materials may be unavailable. Thank you for your patience.

The following material is from the 1973 Initial Inventory of Historic Sites and Buildings in Kalamazoo and was made available for use here by the Historic Preservation Coordinator of the City of Kalamazoo. See Introduction to an Initial Inventory for details about how the survey was conducted.
The Kalamazoo Ladies Library Association was the first woman's club organized in Michigan and the third in the nation. Members held meetings in various places around the village between 1852 and 1879, when local builder Fred Bush completed the present LLA building. Built and furnished at a cost of $14,000 (and paid in full by 1883), this was the first building erected as a woman's club in the country. It is now recorded both as a state historic site and also as a National Historic Landmark.
Ruth Webster, twenty-four years a treasurer and fifteen a librarian for the LLA, provided the lot, and the association in turn commissioned a stained glass memorial window in her honor. Chicago architect H. L. Gay earned $75.00 for his set of plans in the then-fashionable "Venetian Gothic" style. The exterior of the building still retains something of the colorful effect of its original patterns of brick and tile and stone.
Beyond a tiled entryway patterned after Charles Eastlake's popular Hints on Household Taste, is the library itself. Many of the original pieces of furniture remain, such as a fine bookshelf donated by Gazette editor Volney Hascall. Lucinda Hinsdale Stone, a local educator and world traveler, selected the paintings which still hang on the walls. She chose copies of European artists for the most part, whose works would have an uplifting effect on the local membership. Stained glass windows dominate the room. Upstairs is a thirty by sixty foot meeting hall and stage. Dr. and Mrs. Joseph Sill donated the cane-seated "Eastlake" auditorium chairs, still in original condition, in 1883. The Steinway grand piano came to the LLA from Mrs. E. M. Walker, of Chicago.
This site has been a Kalamazoo landmark for many years. Many of the town's most prominent citizens are identified with its history. It deserves preservation as a notable link with the local past in addition to its importance at the state and national level.
This report was converted from a typewritten document to a digital text document in September 2004. Other than punctuation and spelling corrections, and the addition of BOLD type site address and names, no changes were made. Minor formatting changes were made for use on this website, but the text was not altered. Original survey dated 1973.
On November 12th, 2008, KPL hosted a program highlighting the group's history and its amazing landmark building as part of the "This Old Building" series. Dr. Sharon Carlson, director of the archives at Western Michigan University, engaged a fascinated audience with little known facts about the Ladies Library and a slide show which included many wonderful historic photos.

Casting Crowns
In an unprecedented six-year span with nearly 4.5 million career album sales, a GRAMMY Award, an American Music Award, 23 Dove Awards and 8 chart-topping radio singles, Casting Crowns remains focused on discipleship through music. With lead singer and songwriter Mark Hall's 18 years in youth ministry, the band's message remains rooted in the student services he has led on a weekly basis since 2001, at Eagles Landing Baptist church near Atlanta. The songs start as messages for his 400 teenagers and their families. With boldly honest, hard-hitting lyrics, the band continues to challenge, strengthen and pour into the body of Christ, giving listeners a fresh, relevant perspective on loving God and loving people.
Living life with a kingdom focus, a reaching-out, loving-the-world-like-Jesus-does purpose – that's the focus of the band's fourth studio album titled Until The Whole World Hears. Millions of fans won't be disappointed as these seven gifted musicians continue to speak truth into today's culture through this new 12-song collection.
Hall says, "Our main purpose, above all else, is to know Him more." It's that unwavering desire and the intent of a personal friendship with Jesus that drives Casting Crowns and shapes its latest offering of message-centered songs into powerful tools for discipleship.
The title track on the album comes from a signature line in an e-mail from Roger Glidewell, Mark's mentor in student ministry. Glidewell always closed his e-mails with the phrase, "Until the whole world hears." Hall says, "Those simple words are a challenge to be intentional with the way we live our lives." The lyrics were born out of John the Baptist's life. "He was the voice crying out in the wilderness, eating grasshoppers, and speaking into the world about their sin. Speaking out in the wilderness is never popular but in the body of Christ, we've got to do it in love." With a captivating rock style, "Until the Whole World Hears" also includes the voices of the congregation from Eagles Landing First Baptist Church, Hall's home church.
"To Know You" encapsulates the Apostle Paul's struggles and fears, and brings them down to a personal level for every believer. Steeped in Scripture, every line of the song is a declaration of total surrender. Hall explains, "In Romans 8:29, we're told that God is conforming us into the image of His Son. His goal for my life is to make me like Jesus. To bring Him glory. Everything else is rubbish, Paul says, compared to knowing Him. And if my life goal is really to know Him and to honor Him, is He going to steer me off a cliff? No. Is this easy to say and hard to do? Yeah. But that doesn't make it not true."
The members of Casting Crowns each serve in student ministry in their local churches. "Our songs have always come from our ministry in the church," Hall says. "They start as messages on Wednesday night, things we're teaching our teenagers and their families. Our typical Wednesday night crowd is about 70% students and 30% parents. So we're a family ministry and that comes out in the crowds who come to our concerts. You'll see a six-year-old and a 60-year-old at a Crowns concert."
Concert-goers love hearing the stories behind their favorite songs. And Hall loves to tell the stories and give God all the credit. He explains how "If We've Ever Needed You" came to be: "I'd been trying to write all day, but I felt like I was tying words in knots. I went to bed, couldn't sleep, was up and down, until about 2:30 in the morning. My wife, Melanie, sat up in the bed and said, 'You just need to say, Speak, Lord, for your servant hears!' And then she rolled over and went back to sleep!"
Hall laughs when he recalls, "I was a little ill about that comment but I knew she was right, so I went downstairs to the piano. That's when I realized I'd been humming a tune in my head for hours. So I pounded out the chords and the first verse just poured out. That's when you know it's bigger than you; when you know you didn't come up with the lyric. I'm not that creative! When God whispers in my ear — that's a 'God line.'" The result is a captivating song of crying out to God in desperation, both personally and corporately as the body of Christ.
"Always Enough" also has God's fingerprints all over it. Hall remembers, "Several months ago, we lost a soldier in Afghanistan who was part of our church. His son is in our middle school ministry, and it really rocked us. You know it's going on, but then it happens close to you, and it opens your eyes to the reality. Casting Crowns was on the road and couldn't be home for the funeral. The song really came together that day. When life is hard and tragedy comes, you discover how real Jesus is to you. Your friends and your church try to help, but at that moment, Jesus can't be Plan B. He's got to be it; He's got to be enough. When things that are constants in our lives are stripped away, that's when we have to know He's 'Always Enough.'"
Until The Whole World Hears showcases the signature sound of Casting Crowns and its members: Mark Hall, Megan Garrett, Melodee DeVevo, Hector Cervantes, Chris Huffman, Juan DeVevo, and new member Brian Scoggin. Brian makes his debut with Casting Crowns on this album. A veteran musician and Middle School Pastor at a church near Atlanta, Scoggin is now the drummer for the band. Hall notes that former Crowns' drummer Andy Williams, the "Bald Wonder," is serving in ministry with his wife and doing well.
For the first time on a Crowns' album, Juan DeVevo and Hector Cervantes add their vocals to Hall's on the haunting worship song "At Your Feet." This song provides an opportunity for listeners to respond to the gospel by laying their past, their present, and their future at Jesus' feet. In an effort to connect others to the powerful theology of hymns, the album includes modern reinventions of songs Hall grew up with, including "Glorious Day (Living He Loved Me)" (from the hymn "One Day"), "Joyful, Joyful" and "Blessed Redeemer" − which features violinist Melodee DeVevo as lead vocalist and again includes the congregation from Eagles Landing.
After all the accolades, all the awards, all the time on the road and in the studio, why does Casting Crowns continue to do what they do? The answer is simple: It's their calling – God's calling on the lives of these seven committed and talented musicians. To pour their lives into the students and families God has placed in their paths. To set discipleship to music. To challenge and strengthen the body of Christ. It's what brought them together in the first place and what keeps them going … Until The Whole World Hears.

Freedom's march makes U.N. irrelevant
The entire world was full of hope in the fall of 1945 when the United Nations launched its mission to bring peace to a war-torn planet. The mission failed. Miserably. The U.N. has brought, instead, a global labyrinth of bureaucratic, power-hungry institutions, prone to corruption, ineffectiveness and supreme arrogance.
Secretary General, Kofi Annan, told the British press, that the U.S. war in Iraq is "illegal." He does not understand, or accept the fact that U.S. military action is made "legal" by the U.S. Congress, not by anything the U.N. may do or say.
Had the U.N. effectively enforced any of its resolutions on Iraq, adopted since the first Gulf War, perhaps the U.S. would not have been forced into war. The U.N. has become completely ineffective.
How long has this bloated institution been discussing, debating, and delaying action to stop the slaughter of innocent people in Sudan by government agents? The same government, incidentally, that was chosen to sit on the U.N.'s Human Rights Commission in 2001, while the U.S. was kicked off the Commission.
If the U.N. is good at anything, it is concealment, cover-up and corruption. There is no better example of this attribute than the unfolding "Oil for Food" scam run directly out of Kofi Annan's office since 1997.
The U.N. ignored allegations of corruption prior to the fall of Saddam. Not until U.S. troops moved into Iraq and confiscated a truckload of records did the magnitude of the scam come into focus. It is now known that at least $10 billion was skimmed from the program for Saddam and his cronies. Saddam's "cronies" seem to include high-level officials at the U.N. and government officials in France, Russia and Germany, as well. There is growing evidence that the bombs and bullets used by the insurgents in Iraq were bought with money from this scam.
Still, Kofi Annan refuses to release the records for independent review.
The U.N. is beyond reform, beyond rescue, beyond hope.
The United States is charting a new course. In the last four years, the United States has walked away from the Kyoto Protocol, withdrawn from the International Criminal Court, blocked the U.N. global taxation scheme and launched a war without the U.N.'s approval. The United States is beginning to lead the world away from global governance administered by a corrupt, moribund global bureaucracy, toward a world where national sovereignty is supreme. Moreover, the United States has declared that sovereign nations, shadowy organizations or misguided individuals who use terrorist tactics against America are targets for elimination.
This new direction has spawned enemies abroad and at home. The global governance proponents know that their dreams will die without the participation of the United States. Dictators and tyrants know that their dreams will die if their rule is replaced by representative governments, which allow people to be free to pursue their own prosperity.
This new direction is in its infancy. If allowed to continue, it can transform the world, not by regulatory control, as is the essence of global governance, but by unleashed opportunity, as is the essence of freedom.
If the people of Iraq and Afghanistan can build a representative government, in which the people make their laws based on the principles of freedom, these nations will become beacons of hope throughout the Middle East.
President Bush told the U.N. General Assembly this week that the advance of freedom always comes at great cost. The United States paid that cost for the people of Europe a half-century ago. Now, the U.S. and its coalition partners are paying the cost for the people of Iraq and Afghanistan.
The cost of freedom is always painful for those who are called upon to pay. But the pain is far less than that endured by the innocent victims of ruthless terror. Failure to act – as is the chief characteristic of the U.N. – or refusal to pay the cost allows and encourages the terrorists – who delight in videotaping the beheading of innocent victims, who capture a school full of innocent children and shoot them for sport, who fly fully-loaded airplanes into the World Trade Center, and who continue to try desperately to prevent the birth of democracy in Iraq.
The United Nations has chosen not to pay the cost of advancing freedom in Iraq, or the cost of relief in Sudan, or the cost of honesty in the Oil for Food scam. The United States, on the other hand, has established a clear and honorable goal: the birth and nurture of freedom as the only remedy to terrorism, and a new and brighter future for the world.

April 1, 2008
CAMBRIDGE, Mass. - Seniors Rocco Toppi and Tyler Robinson combined for a three-hit shutout as Brandeis pitched its way to a 2-0 victory over the Engineers at Briggs Field on Tuesday. The loss negated a terrific performance by MIT's cast of arms, which endured the defeat despite allowing no earned runs.
Toppi was superb in picking up his third win of the season for Brandeis (8-4). The right-handed senior tossed five scoreless innings while scattering two singles and registering five strikeouts.
MIT (7-8) starter Kyle Adkins delivered a solid effort as well, although he shouldered the loss after yielding an unearned run in the third. With one out in the frame, senior Chuck Sheehan reached first on an errant throw to first on a bunt attempt. Sheehan moved himself into scoring position with great base running before crossing the plate on a wild pitch. Robinson took over for the Judges in the sixth and proved just as dominant. He finished with six strikeouts while surrendering one hit and two walks.
Brandeis extended its lead in the eighth as senior Malcolm Cone-Coleman scraped out a tough infield single down the third-base line to plate sophomore Drake Livada, although two MIT errors during the inning proved costly before the two-out knock.
After two quick outs, the Engineers loaded the bases in the bottom of the eighth but we're unable to capitalize on their best opportunity of the day. Brandeis stranded 10 runners during the tilt while MIT left eight on base.
Junior Matt Loper provided two perfect innings in relief of Adkins with two strikeouts and senior Mike Vasquez pitched a 1-2-3 frame in the ninth. Stephen Toth pitched the remaining three innings, allowing three hits and the afternoon's second unearned score. Seven batters combined for seven hits on the day.

Find a Career With the U.S. Border Patrol
Geoffrey Fox / Monster.com
July 12, 2008
The US Border Patrol offers a fast-paced, challenging law enforcement career in which fluency in Spanish is a definite advantage. Now part of the Department of Homeland Security, the Border Patrol is responsible for patrolling all 6,000 miles of the US land borders and 2,000 miles of coast around Florida and Puerto Rico. Its greatest focus, however, is on the border with Mexico, where economic conditions in that country and elsewhere have increased the pressure and violence of illegal immigration and smuggling.
Despite the dangers, Héctor Escamilla and Ramón Rojas, two Mexican American Border Patrol workers, speak passionately about their jobs. Escamilla, a 16-year veteran of the agency and now special operations supervisor in McAllen, Texas, says he was initially drawn by the opportunity to serve on "the front line of national defense" and got hooked on the ruggedness of what he calls "frontier-type work."
But to launch a Border Patrol career, you'll need to take some practical steps to prepare for the challenges ahead.How to Join
Today, recruits who pass the entrance exam are sent to the Border Patrol Academy, either in Brunswick, Georgia, or the satellite facility in Charleston, South Carolina, where they undergo a 21-week program that focuses on military discipline with training in law, firearms, driving (a big part of the job in rough terrain) and Spanish, which is required of all agents.
While in the academy, the new agent receives full base pay at the GS-5 level, starting at around $25,000 per year, with step increases over time. After seven months, the new agent takes an exam to move up to GS-7, a year later to GS-9, and a year after that to GS-11, where base salary is generally $50,000 or more, depending on the area and the individual's step within each grade. Bonuses and overtime pay can bring that up considerably.
An insider's perspective might help you decide whether the risks and rewards balance out.A Day on the Job
"Usually you're with a partner at night, but in the daytime you'll go out alone. And people will pop rounds at you from a distance," says Escamilla with a laugh. But, he says, the situation is worse in Tucson.
Rojas, training manager for the Border Patrol in Tucson, points out that it's "the roughest sector in the Border Patrol now."
"San Diego has pretty much shut down" due to intense patrolling, thus diverting activity to Arizona, says Rojas. Agents patrol their 280 miles of desert border on horseback, in Suburbans, on dirt bikes, and, in urban areas, bicycles.
"We get armed encounters seven or eight times out of 10," says Rojas. That means that the agents find a weapon, whether a knife or a gun.
"We find 2,000 or 3,000-pound loads of marijuana regularly," Escamilla says, as well as other merchandise. But the biggest smuggling business is people. Though most are Mexicans and Central Americans, agents also find large numbers of Middle Eastern people and Asians trying to get across.
"It's not uncommon to come onto a group of 20 to 30 people," he says. "Ninety percent are humble people, just trying to make a better life for themselves." But the others include drug smugglers and other criminals, sometimes in fake Mexican federal police uniforms, and they may be armed.Cultural Issues
How do they feel about stopping so many Hispanics/Latinos who are just trying to find a better life?
Escamilla thinks he is doing them a service by helping them safely return to their home country.
Rojas agrees. "How I rationalize the feeling," he says, is that he is protecting "a lot of people who get jobs [in the US] and don't get paid. I see it as helping them out."Is It Worth It?
Every morning a Border Patrol agent asks himself, "Am I going to make it today?" It's a question Escamilla embraces. "Every day out in the field is an adventure. It's a fun job," he says.

Interfaces to create formatters are dependent on the specific formatter class being instantiated. The interfaces described below are the required interfaces which all formatters must support once initialized.
One data element is defined at the module level:
push_font() method described below, or as the new value to any
push_property() method. Pushing the
value allows the corresponding
pop_property() method to
be called without having to track whether the property was changed.
The following attributes are defined for formatter instance objects:
Format specifications are strings which, in combination with a counter value, are used to compute label values. Each character in the format string is copied to the label value, with some characters recognized to indicate a transform on the counter value. Specifically, the character "1" represents the counter value formatter as an Arabic number, the characters "A" and "a" represent alphabetic representations of the counter value in upper and lower case, respectively, and "I" and "i" represent the counter value in Roman numerals, in upper and lower case. Note that the alphabetic and roman transforms require that the counter value be greater than zero.

Over the weekend my wife and I were in State College, PA for a wedding. We stayed in the University's conference center hotel and with us in the hotel were lots of youngish people, mostly with lots of piercings, interesting hair choices, and plenty of visible body ink–and most wearing black, black, and black. At one point we were riding down the elevator with a group of them–all of whom were wearing conference badges–and my wife asked what group they were with.
One of the young women promptly pulled out a business card and said "We're here for the paranormal conference." She was the "Case Manager for Myths and Urban Legends" at Long Island Paranormal Investigators. If we hadn't been rushing off to the wedding, I would have told her that just the day before my students and I had been discussing myths and urban legends in class.
What do you think? Should we invite her to Fairfax?

AAC M5: 04.01.14 EditionPosted by Will Tucker on April 1st, 2014
- Mike DeCourcy of Sporting News writes that Russ Smith cemented his legacy as "a competitor and gentleman" with the gracious post-game remarks he delivered after Louisville's disappointing 74-69 loss to Kentucky in the Sweet Sixteen. The senior guard's wide-ranging comments, a transcript of which WDRB (Louisville) columnist Eric Crawford posted on Twitter, expressed gratitude to everyone from his teammates, coaches, managers, trainers, to UK's program and current team, whom he described as "a great group of guys" and praised individually by name. He also credited Rick Pitino for shaping him into a man and apologized to Louisville fans, saying, "I wish I could have given them the win. I'm so sorry." DeCourcy declares that Smith "leaves the game better than he found it because of how he performed and how he carried himself."
- With Connecticut playing for its first Final Four of the post-Jim Calhoun era, Tim Layden writes for Sports Illustrated that Kevin Ollie's Huskies have clawed their way back from the "brink of irrelevance." After "disappear[ing] into a grave partly of its own making and partly from the odd and capricious forces of modern college athletic," writes Layden, "the Huskies are back because senior Shabazz Napier is a truly transcendent college guard, a tough and spectral offensive player descended directly from his former teammate, Kemba Walker." Yahoo Sports' Dan Wetzel credits Napier's coach with his team's display of scrappy physicality and mental stamina against a much bigger Michigan State team on Sunday, describing the Kevin Ollie coaching experience as "an endless, relentless confidence-building exercise via motivational vignettes that couldn't have found a more perfect home than a program that was under siege."
- A day after Louisville's NCAA Tournament elimination, it was widely reported that junior guard Kevin Ware would transfer. Ware told ESPN that he'd like to be closer to his family home in Atlanta, and observers have pegged Auburn as a likely destination after the Tigers hired Bruce Pearl, who originally signed Ware at Tennessee. Still, the timing seems bizarre: Ware had tweeted last week that he was "never leaving this place," and his stepfather told The Courier-Journal that while he had been aware of Kevin's plan to leave, "We just didn't know he was going to tell someone today, the day after the team was eliminated." While Ware was sidelined early in the season with injury, his experience and awareness of Rick Pitino's defenses figured to give Ware the edge for a job in the Cardinals' core rotation, if not their starting lineup.
- In other AAC transfer news, Temple redshirt junior Anthony Lee has committed to play at Ohio State next season. Lee, a two-year starter for Fran Dunphy who averaged 13.6 points and 8.6 rebounds per game this season, is set to graduate this spring, and wanted an opportunity to play in front of his relatives in the Midwest before the end of his college career. He will spend his last year of eligibility as a Buckeye while enrolled in a graduate program. As expected, USF freshman Josh Heath has also elected to transfer after his father's firing earlier in the month.
- With or without Lee, Temple is already eager to rebound after failing to make the NCAA Tournament for the first time since 2007. "It's motivation, that you were on the team that kind of let everybody down, didn't live up to the expectations everybody's used to seeing," said junior guard Will Cummings, who described the grueling 9-22 campaign as the season of "almost." Coach Fran Dunphy agreed with that assessment, adding, "We were almost there. We didn't have a lot of margin for error. It's that kind of thing where a season can change on a game, a game can change on a play." Daily News writer Mike Kern offers the example of Villanova's swift turnaround as a blueprint for the Owls' rebuilding effort, pointing out that over a span of three years, Jay Wright's teams went from a program-record 19 losses to a program-record 28 regular-season wins.

I'm not one to shy away from crafts with a lot of time consuming steps, but I LOVE projects like this that serve to remind me that some of my favorite things are the simplest and quickest to make.
As evidence: Comet Wrap Cuff
(space background to aid in visualizing the comet aspect)Once upon a time, this leather strap was attached to one of my bags. I soon realized the bag was way cooler as a large oversized clutch, so off went the strap to my craft room until a new use for it presented itself. I found my inspiration when some brass charms showed up at work in a pile of things to be thrown out.
*leather handbag strap
*3 miscellaneous charms
*2 rivets
*copper O-ring
*brass hook
The first step to transforming this into a bracelet was to cut off the metallic clips at both ends of the strap and replace them with better looking hardware that would also make getting the bracelet on and off much easier.
I started with the O-ring, folding one of the strap ends around it. I picked a good place to put the rivet and marked it with an ink pen.
Next, I used an awl to puncture the leather over the mark (making sure to go all the way down to the mat). When I unfolded the strap, this mark had been transfered to the other side of the fold. Directly over these these two marks, I made the actual hole with my punch and mallet.
Now I just needed to set the rivet.
*If you haven't set a rivet before, but wanna know how click here.
And the first end was done.
I repeated these same steps on the end of the strap, now with the hook, beginning with marking the rivet's placement.
Ultimately, both ends ended up looking like this: nicely finished and ready to encase my arm.
The only thing left to do was place the charms. I wanted them located in the center of the strap, so that when the bracelet ends were hooked together on the back of my wrist, the charms would be centered in the front.
Using the awl, I pre-punched a hole in the leather where the charm would be secured, and sewed it into place. I repeated this to attach the second and third charms.This was followed by making new holes in the leather at the bottom of the charm, on either side of the pendulum, and stitching down. Aside, from anchoring the charms more securely, this also prevented the pendulums from being able to move around (i.e. be less annoying to wear).I had hoped to sell this piece on Etsy but I, uh... ended up wearing it.
I took it down from my shop that day and it's mostly been on my wrist ever since.
*leather punch
*rivet setter and pedestal
*needle and thread
*cutting mat

17 People You Didn't Realize Were In Star Trek
Recently, my wife and I have taken to watching "Star Trek: The Next Generation" on Netflix. While I'm the resident Trekkie in the house, my wife was only vaguely familiar, having seen a few episodes in re-runs. Now that she's seen more episodes, there have been several instances of, "I didn't know he/she did an episode!" With the rebirth of the Star Trek franchise in the JJ Abrams films, now seemed like a good time to look back at well-known people who have appeared in some incarnation of "Star Trek".
Whoopi Goldberg in "Star Trek: The Next Generation"
Let's start with one that you might actually remember, Whoopi Goldberg. More than just a guest star, Goldberg actually appeared in 28 episodes of "Star Trek: The Next Generation", as well as a substantial role in "Star Trek: Generations" and a small appearance in "Star Trek: Nemesis". Goldberg played the role of Guinan, the bartender and manager of the Ten-Forward lounge on the Enterprise, a perfect job for a character that is desribed to be from a race of listeners. Goldberg was a fan of the original series due to Nichelle Nichols (Lt. Uhura), and asked her friend LeVarr Burton to put in a good word when he was cast in the role of Geordi LaForge. Originally, creator Gene Roddenberry and the producers of the show thought this to be a joke and passed on the offer. It wasn't until Goldberg contacted Roddenberry directly that they understood her to be serious. When asked why she wanted to appear on a syndicated television show, Goldberg said that she was already a successful comedian and actress and felt that she was at the point that she could do any project that interested her. The role of Guinan was immediately rewritten for Goldberg and she debuted on the first episode of season 2.
John Larroquette in "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock"
Multi-Emmy Award winning actor John Larroquette took the role of Maltz, a Klingon officer and sole survivor of Captain Kruge's crew in "Star Trek III: The Search For Spock". Reportedly, Larroquette referred to his character as "Chocolate" while on-set. Larroquette isn't the only "Night Court" alumni to appear on Star Trek. Most notably, Brent Spiner went from the recurring role of Yugoslavian drifter Bob Wheeler to the iconic role of Lt. Commander Data in "Star Trek: The Next Generation".
Kelsey Grammer in "Star Trek: The Next Generation"
Television icon Kelsey Grammer made a surprise appearance in a fifth season episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" called "Cause and Effect". During the episode, the crew of the Enterprise gets stuck in a time loop that always ends with the destruction of the Enterprise when it collides with another Federation ship coming out of a distortion in space. After figuring out how to avoid their inevitable fate, the other ship is revealed to be the USS Bozeman captained by Morgan Bateson (Grammer), which had been caught in the same time loop for nearly 90 years.
Christian Slater in "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country"
Though Christian Slater's career isn't currently in an upswing, he was a big star when he made an unexpected cameo appearance in the final film to feature the entire original cast, "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country". Slater played an unnamed night-shift communications officer on the USS Excelsior, tasked with waking Captain Sulu to deliver a message from Starfleet. A lifelong Star Trek fan, Slater got the bit part from his mother who was the casting director for the film.
Ron Perlman in "Star Trek: Nemesis"
Always known for playing roles requiring heavy make-up, "Sons of Anarchy" star Ron Perlman underwent the make-up transformation in the final film featuring the Next Generation cast, "Star Trek: Nemesis". People tend to forget that Perlman was in this film because his make-up here, unlike that of his best-know character Hellboy, was so heavy that he was unrecognizable to the viewer. Perlman was also partly responsible for another beloved Star Trek character, Quark on "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine". When Armin Shimerman began working in the Ferengi make-up, he contacted his old "Beauty and the Beast" co-star to get advice on how to properly emote through heavy prosthetics.
Christopher Lloyd in "Star Trek III: The Search for Spock"
Before he was Doctor Emmett Brown in "Back to the Future", Christopher Lloyd played the role of Commander Kruge, a Klingon officer obsessed with taking possession of the Genesis device, something he believed to be a weapon of unlimited power. Lloyd's run as Kirk's enemy is noteworthy in the overall Star Trek universe because their interaction resulted in the death of Kirk's son and the destruction of the USS Enterprise. According to special features on the Special Edition DVD set, Lloyd had difficulty going along with the idea of space-age communicators, yelling his lines to the sky rather than speaking into his prop.
Stephen Hawking in "Star Trek: The Next Generation"
One of the most intelligent men who ever lived, Hawking is no stranger to television audiences, having recently appeared on "The Big Bang Theory". But back in the early 90s, Hawking appeared as a hologram of himself in the sixth season episode of "Star Trek: The Next Generation", "Descent", becoming the only person in history to play himself in the Star Trek universe. In the opening of the episode, Data is participating in a poker game on the holodeck with representations of Hawking, Albert Einstein, and Sir Isaac Newton, in an attempt to get an idea of how three of the greatest minds in human history would respond to each other. In the series finale, Hawking is referenced again when it is revealed that Data has Hawking's old position at Cambridge. A fan of the franchise, Hawking would later visit the set of "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine".
Kurtwood Smith in "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country", "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", and "Star Trek: Voyager"
Most notable as the role of Red Foreman in "That 70s Show", Kurtwood Smith is one of several actors to play multiple roles across the Star Trek universe. He started his work in Star Trek playing the President of the Federation (center), and final assassination target, in "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country". During his run on "That 70s Show", Smith would also make guest appearances in Star Trek, first as a Cardassian named Thrax (right) in "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", and then a temporal scientist Annorax in a two-part story arc in "Star Trek: Voyager" (left).
Bryan Singer in "Star Trek: Nemesis"
In a "blink and you'll miss it" scene, Star Trek fan and "X-Men" director Bryan Singer made a cameo appearance as a replacement tactical officer in "Star Trek: Nemesis". Singer was given the cameo due to his working with star Patrick Stewart on the first two "X-Men" films.
Famke Jannsen in "Star Trek: The Next Generation"
At the time known as a Dutch fashion model, Famke Jannsen make her television debut on the fifth season episode "The Perfect Mate", playing Kamala, a genetically engineered woman who was designed to be attractive to any man she meets. When casting for "Star Trek: Deep Space Nine", Janssen was a frontrunner for the role of Lt. Jadzia Dax, a role that would coincidently have her wearing the exact same make-up as her role of Kamala. But Janssen wanted to focus her career on film and turned the role down. She would gain fame as a Bond villain in "Goldeneye" and as Jean Grey in the "X-Men" franchise.
Kim Cattrall in "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country"
Before her famous run on "Sex and the City", Kim Cattrall donned the pointed ears of a Vulcan in "Star Trek VI: The Undiscovered Country" playing Lt. Commander Valeris. Cattrall unsuccessfully auditioned for the role of Klingon officer Vixis in "Star Trek V: The Final Frontier" before being cast as the new helmsman for the Enterprise in the next film. Cattrall had a hand in the creation of her character, designing the headband she wore and naming her character after the Greek goddess Eris, the goddess of strife. Cattrall reportedly snuck a photographer on set to take risqué photos of her on the Enterprise bridge set, only to be discovered by Leonard Nimoy who had the photographer removed and the film destroyed.
Teri Hatcher in "Star Trek: The Next Generation"
This Desperate Housewife had a small role in the first season of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" in the episode "The Outrageous Okona", playing the role of transporter chief Lt. B.G. Robinson. Hatcher's place in the episode was nothing more than eye candy, being the immediate focus of attention of the freighter captain Okona, whom stops by Robinson's quarters for a date later in the episode.
Tom Hardy in "Star Trek: Nemesis"
Years before his wide-spread fame in films like "The Dark Knight Rises" and "Inception", Tom Hardy played the role of "Shinzon", a clone of Captain Picard obsessed with the destruction of Earth in "Star Trek: Nemesis". Hardy reportedly beat out Jude Law and "Buffy the Vampire Slayer" star James Marsters for the role. Hardy shaved his head and wore a prosthetic chin and nose to better resemble a young Patrick Stewart, however the character of Captain Picard was established as having hair in his youth and Shinzon comments on how his nose and chin is different than Picard's.
Ashley Judd in "Star Trek: The Next Generation"
Ashley Judd is only one of three people on this list to appear in more than one episode as the same character. Judd appeared in the fifth season of "Star Trek: The Next Generation" in two episodes, "Darmok" and "The Game", as Ensign Robin Lefler. Ensign Lefler was an engineering assistant who developed a romantic relationship with Wesley Crusher (Wil Wheton) and helped Wesley save the crew of the Enterprise from a mind-controlling game in "The Game".
Chris Hemsworth in "Star Trek"
The Might Thor is actually Captain Kirk's father. Well, at least in the reboot "Star Trek". I'm very vocal about my distaste for the treatment of the Star Trek legacy in the reboots, but Hemsworth's portrayal of Lt. Commander George Kirk is one of my favorite moments. Hemsworth's Kirk takes command of the ship after the Captain is killed and saves the entire crew, including his wife who was in the process of giving birth to James Kirk, but at the cost of his own life. Now a well-known actor after "Thor" and "The Avengers", Hemsworth was a virtual unknown when he appeared in "Star Trek".
Seth MacFarlane in "Star Trek: Enterprise"
The last person on this list to appear in more than one episode is "Family Guy" creator Seth MacFarlane, appearing in two episodes of "Star Trek: Enterprise" as Engineer Stewart Rivers. A long-time Star Trek fan, MacFarlane has made repeated references to the franchise on his show "Family Guy", and once had all members of "The Next Generation" cast play themselves in an episode. And apparently the admiration goes both ways between MacFarlane and Star Trek. Apart from appearing his two episodes, a minor character on "Star Trek: Enterprise" was named "McFarlane" in his honor.
Nikki Cox in "Star Trek: The Next Generation"
Years before her roles in "Unhappily Ever After" and "Vegas", as well as her unfortunate plastic surgery, a young Nikki Cox appeared as an alien names Sarjenka on "Star Trek: The Next Generation" in the episode "Pen Pals". Sarjenka contacted Data on an old RF transmitter while she was looking for someone to help save her planet from volcanoes and earthquakes. After Data and the crew of the Enterprise were successful in saving the planet, Sarjenka's memory was erased so the Enterprise's involvement (which was a violation of orders) would remain secret.

According to a survey, 55% of parents "keep an eye" on their kids by checking out the status updates, wall posts, and tagged photos on their social networking profiles.
The other 40% said they don't spy on their kids at all and the remaining 5% said they would spy on their kids if only they knew how to do that.
When asked to explain their behavior, 36-percent blamed their "overprotective" parental instincts, where as 14-percent said they were just being "nosey". A sad 24-percent confessed that Facebook was the only way they could find out what their sons and daughters were up to, while 6-percent found that the social networking site allowed them to avoid having "awkward conversations" with their offspring.
I'm not sure how looking at your child's Facebook profile would make for less awkward conversations, but as we all know, these studies never lie.

The Turkish Evil Eye
You can usually determine someone's emotional state just by looking into that person's eyes. You can see if he or she is happy, sad, angry or tired by looking at the expression in the eyes. In some cultures, the eyes are believed to hold mystic powers, which can deliver misfortune to whomever the gaze is directed to.

Hamsa And Evil Eye Amulets
Belief in the negative powers of the Evil Eye and various amulets and protective charms against it has been around almost as long as the human race. Virtually every country, language, and religion has definitions pertaining to the evil eye's power to cause all types of misfortunes and even death. Dating back even before ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians and Mesopotamians, amulets to protect people against being 'cursed' by the evil eye have been excavated in the ruins of these societies, and are still very much desired by people today. These charms are particularly popular in African and Middle Eastern cultures, with evil protective amulets not only worn by people on their person, but also mounted near the inside entrance of their homes as well.

Gunn was delighted to see the Quakes select Stanford target forward Adam Jahn with the 15th overall pick of the MLS Supplemental Draft on Jan. 22.
Moreover, two of Gunn's former University of Charlotte players were scooped up by MLS clubs: Jennings Rex, by the Seattle Sounders in the supplemental draft, and Donnie Smith, by the New England Revolution in the the MLS SuperDraft.
So life is good for Gunn, an English native and proven winner who says he loves coaching.
Not surprisingly, he hit it off with Quakes Academy Technical Director Chris Leitch before landing his new gig.
"I just said, 'I'd love to help out in any way you'd like, if there's anything you want me to do,'" Gunn said of his conversation with Leitch. "So then we just talked more. In Charlotte, I actually head-coached an academy team while also being at the college. That was when the college season wasn't year-round, so I could actually do that. Now it's too difficult to be in that type of position with an academy team because there's a 10-month season."
Gunn, 40, sees progress in the U.S. Youth Soccer Development Academy overall.
"I think it's a great system," Gunn said. "Since its inception, it's made great strides with how it's been run and certainly with just the level of talent showcased in academy soccer. I think the ODP (Olympic Development Program) system worked in a certain way, but really, you were kind of playing in basically all-star games, which is a great showcase of individual talent but doesn't really work at the finer points of the game.
"Whereas in academy soccer, you're already bringing about most of the best players together on a weekly basis, where not only can you continually develop them as individuals, but they get to learn the game from a team perspective a lot better. They get to progress and move forward with team concepts in a much better way, I feel."
Jahn, an imposing presence up front at 6-foot-3, impressed Gunn with his soft touch for a big man and his dedication.
"He had an exceptional season," Gunn said. "I only worked with Adam for the year, but from Day One he showed a wonderful professional attitude and a desire to always keep improving. What separates him from his college counterparts is that he has such a wonderful touch on the ball and therefore has the ability to make great decisions as a soccer player."
Of course, the Quakes boast two robust target forwards in Alan Gordon and Steven Lenhart, so the bar is pretty high in San Jose. But expect Jahn to be a willing student if he's afforded the chance.
"The Earthquakes have exceptional strikers," Gunn said, "and so you can look at it one of two ways: It's going to be stiff competition and it will be difficult, but I think Adam will take it as an opportunity to be able to learn from great players and, hopefully, pick up more tricks of the trade as he goes along, and keep developing more and more, so that when he gets opportunities he's even more prepared."
After being hired at Stanford in December 2011, Gunn led the Cardinal (9-8, 5-4-1 Pac-12) to a third-place finish in the conference. Previously, he built Charlotte into a national power over five seasons. A former first-team All-American at Cal State Bakersfield, Gunn also enjoyed success during a seven-year stint on the Cal State Bakersfield men's and women's coaching staffs, then he built to the Fort Lewis College (Colo.) men's program into a Division II power.
As a youth, he played for Grimsby Town FC and Scunthorpe United FC, and then professionally with the Chico Rooks, North Bay Breakers in Rohnert Park, and the Nashville Metros and Charleston Battery in the then A-League.
With his great dedication to player development, expect him to be cheering after numerous MLS drafts in the years to come.

Orange Coast College freshman running back Domenic Betts has been named Co-Offensive Player of the Year to highlight Pirates recognized on the All-East Conference football selections.
Betts, whose 1,772 rushing yards and 20 regular-season rushing touchdowns both led the state, set the OCC single-season rushing yardage record, topping the previous mark by more than 300.
Betts, who had 109 yards and one touchdown on 16 receptions, was joined on the first-team offense by OCC sophomore center Alex Davis and freshman kicker Jackson Dionne.
OCC punter Ricky Carroll was a first-team choice on defense, while Santa Ana sophomore Andrew McDonald, a Newport Harbor High product, repeated as the first-team quarterback.
McDonald completed 169 of 273 passes for 2,033 yards. He threw 22 touchdown passes and had seven interceptions. He also rushed for four touchdowns and 46 yards and his 61.9% completion rate ranked No. 9 in the state.
Dionne made 10 field goals, including boots of 53, 51 and 48 yards. His 51-yarder in the third overtime was a game-winner at Southwestern and he kicked a game-winning 24-yarder in the final minute of the season finale at Santa Ana.
Carroll averaged 39.5 yards on 42 punts to rank No. 8 in the state.
Davis, a 6-foot, 275-pound center, helped OCC post the state's second-most productive rushing offense (279.2 yards per game). OCC led the 37-school Southern California Football Assn. in that category, besting the runner-up, Glendale, by more than 50 yards per game.
OCC had five second-team selections, including four on defense.
Freshman outside linebacker Aaron Jones, freshman middle linebacker Nick Cody, sophomore cornerback Evan Law and sophomore end Ross Pitsenberger represented OCC on the second-team defense.
Pirates sophomore tackle Kyle Donaldson was a second-team choice on offense.
Jones led OCC (4-6, 2-3 in conference) with 86 tackles, while Cody had 85 tackles, three fumble recoveries and one interception.
Law intercepted three passes to go with his 22 tackles. His 15 passes broken up tied for fourth most in the state.
Pitsenberger, who played tackle as a freshman, had 35 tackles, 2.5 sacks and seven quarterback hurries.
