St. Thomas Academy pumped for new hockey class
By AARON PAITICH, Special to the Star Tribune, 11/17/13, 1:08AM CST
St. Thomas Academy starts its first season playing hockey in Class 2A.
St. Thomas Academy defeated Edina 2-1 in overtime in their Schwan Cup gold division hockey game Wednesday night, December 26, 2012 at Ridder Arena in Minneapolis, MInn. The Cadets' Tom Novak, trailed by teammates Gunnar Regan and Christiano Versich, celeb
St. Thomas Academy hockey is beginning a new era — finally.
After three consecutive Class 1A state titles and five in the last eight years, the Cadets have moved to Class 2A this season.
The move came after plenty of criticism in prep circles over the private school's stature and dominance in the smaller-school class of the Minnesota high school hockey world.
Coach Greg Vannelli is just glad to be done with it and start playing hockey.
"You do get tired of the general public's opinion all the time, and even some coaches, I guess," Vannelli said. "So that's all put to rest. Now we just have to move forward."
The Cadets have been playing a Class 2A-caliber regular-season schedule for several years now. So the most significant effect of their new classification won't be felt until sections.
"You're obviously focusing on a lot of other things besides that," Vannelli said. "It's really not the biggest thing – but at some point in the season it becomes a big thing, especially toward the end. But now it's all about getting the right guys on the ice."
That's the task at hand as St. Thomas Academy hit the ice for their first official team practice on Monday. The Cadets lost 13 players from last year's state championship team, but they do return their top two scorers.
Tom Novak scored 28 goals while adding 29 assists for 57 points in 31 games last season. The junior and Gophers recruit also ranked second in the Elite League in scoring this fall with 35 points in 22 games.
Along with Christiano Versich, who notched 38 points in 30 games last winter., the two ultra-skilled forwards will be called upon more heavily this season. After impressive years from an offensive production standpoint, both leading scorers can take another step this winter, Vannelli believes.
With a younger, less-physical team than last year's state championship squad, Novak and Versich will have to play in the tougher areas — the corners, walls and crease area — more often. They each gained about 10 pounds since claiming the title last March.
"We had such a physical team last year that they didn't have to get into that part of the game as much," Vannelli said. "This year, they're going to have to play both ends of the rink at a high level – and I think they're ready for that."
Vannelli is not as concerned about scoring as he is team defense this season. There are just four seniors on the roster, which means physical maturity may play a factor. Juniors and sophomores will have to handle a lot of responsibility.
"The physical component is not the easiest for younger kids at this level," Vannelli said.
An unexpected loss for the Cadets was the early departure of stalwart defenseman Jack Dougherty, who accepted a spot with USA Hockey's National Team Development Program in Ann Arbor, Mich. Dougherty's stock rose dramatically in the past year or so with strong appearances in national and internationally competitions.
But others are showing promise. Defensemen Seamus Donohue, Zach Weier and Jim Dolan have all received rave reviews for their progress this offseason.
It will be a true tryout situation in net for the Cadets after losing David Zevnik, who claimed the Frank Brimsek Award as the state's top senior goaltender last year. Three goaltenders vying for the starting position this year each played junior varsity last season.
For the playoffs, the Cadets will be in Section 3, which includes Eagan, Cretin-Derham Hall, Rosemount, Apple Valley, East Ridge and others.
Will they be able to make it to Xcel Energy Center in March during their first season with the big schools?
"We're just trying to find the right players and the right combinations now," Vannelli said. "We're excited to see what happens."

Advecia is a hair loss supplement, it is natural DHT blocker, it improves your hear, makes it more silky and shiny, and prevents hair loss.
Suffering from a receding hairline? Worried you will become bald before you reach the mid-30s? Try Advecia, a nutritional supplement by Progressive Health Nutraceuticals Inc. It helps in reducing your hair loss. Additionally, it is different from the many herbal and non-herbal supplements as it contains Saw Palmetto – it is a berry that is found to have positive effects on reduction of hair loss when taken.
It is said that a good healthy diet including lots of greens and vegetables and plenty of water will help hair growth. But for those already having an adverse condition, there are certain nutrients not immediately available from our diet; Advecia contains those essential nutrients that you won't normally include in your diet to promote hair growth.
Saw Palmetto – It acts as a 5-alpha-reductase inhibitor that helps with male pattern hair loss.
Green Tea Extracts – It has Epigallocatechin Gallate (EGCG) which acts as an inhibitor to promote hair growth.
Grape Seed Extract – It doesn't affect blood cells or have an adverse effect but helps in promoting hair growth.
Apart from this, it has a combination of vitamins, minerals and herbs like Rice powder, Magnesium Stearate, Beta Sitosterol and amino acids L-arginine and L-lysine, which are not harsh chemicals.
Advecia directly works with your natural DNA providing the vital nutrients to the hair follicles making them strong and thick. It helps in removing dead skin cells, scalp oil, and shampoo residue by dissolving it and unclogging hair follicles. Those DHT hormonal changes that initially caused hair loss is also reversed, and dormant follicles are built.
Reverses the initiation of hair loss and promotes hair growth.
You have a two-year guarantee from the company offering a full refund with no explanations in case of unhappy results.
Over the counter product with no prescription.
All natural products with no adverse side effects.
Even though the company has a money-back guarantee, there is no proven research study that the ingredients counter the effect of DHT, the hormone causing hair loss.
It's not shampoo, where the result is almost immediate. It takes at least six months to show some effects on the hair loss.
A minority of people have also reported the reverse effect on their hair using Advecia. They say the product has lead to hair thinning rather than making it stronger.
Yes, Advecia is a completely natural product without any adverse side effects. It has some vital supplements that are healthy. But it is a slow cure and not the best in the hair loss treatment market because it is only a dietary supplement. Also, it may not be suitable for some people and may have the reverse effect.
Saw Palmetto Berries - reduce the synthesis and inhibit the activity of DHT, thus helping with male hair baldness.
Green Tea Extract - it strengthens hair roots and protects your scalp from dryness, restores hair strength and healthy shine. It helps fight against some forms of androgenic alopecia.
Grape Seed Extract - it gives a natural shine to hair. It helps with problems such as the oily scalp, dandruff, hairline cracks, scratches, abscesses, irritation, hair loss, weak follicles, dry, brittle hair, split ends.
L-Arginine - it improves blood flow to the hair follicles, allowing them to get maximum nutrients for normal growth, shine, and restoration of the structure.
First I noticed less hair loss while washing my head. Then my hair become softer and silky. I am going to continue taking this supplement.
I have been taking Advecia for 5 months now and my hair become thicker, more silky and stronger. It is much healthier now.


I woke this morning to a warm, cinnamon-y smell. Must be my imagination, I assured myself. But as I entered the kitchen with my 11-day-old daughter in my arms, the taunting smell materialized before me – a freshly baked coffee cake with crumble topping. The two older kids were dressed and ready for the day, my daughter dancing to our favorite children's songs and my son eagerly learning from Dad how to connect different cables to our stereo system.
At this point, you may expect me to paint my mother or mother-in-law into this picture, some maternal figure responsible for picking up the slack around the house while I rest and recover. No folks, this is day 11 of my husband's paternity leave. My mom came to town the week of my daughter's birth to cook, clean, play and generally make our lives wonderful. But since then, my modest husband has been the star of the show. He would never admit it, but he is doing a first-rate job as a stay-at-home dad.
I am embarrassed to say it, but I did not expect things to go this smoothly with the majority of the family responsibilities under his care. Turns out that was a pretty silly notion on my part. Fatherhood, like motherhood, is intuitive.
My midwife emphasized after our daughter's birth that I needed to really take it easy for two weeks so that I would heal well. My husband, knowing I had not done this after the previous two births, took her instructions very seriously. He assured me that he would be taking over completely at home so I could rest and recover during that time. He arranged to take a full four weeks off for parental leave. I half expected that after a week or two he would be ready to go back to work and asked him a few times if he would rather take less time. He firmly insisted that he wanted to take a full month of bonding leave. Why did I not have full confidence that he would love being at home and thrive in this job as a stay-at-home parent?
I think it has something to do with gender stereotypes that we still need to work through as a society. We have all become quite comfortable promoting women's equality in the workplace. Women can do what men can do at work. Women can and should be given equal pay and job opportunities. But what about men in their abilities to fill roles that have traditionally been women's roles?
Before this paternity leave, our only experiences with Dad staying home with the kids were for a couple weekend trips that I took. Older women at church would smile at me when they heard of our plans for the trip and say, "Oh, it will be good for him to experience that." Or "He will really appreciate what you do when you get back." Yes, I did receive a couple of desperate or frustrated calls those weekends. But everyone had a marvelous time and the kids were healthy and happy when I returned. And heaven knows I have made my share of frustrated calls to my husband during the day when he is at work and I am home. Staying at home full-time to raise children is not an easy job. Anyone who has spent even one day doing it knows that.
This paternity leave has proven to me that my husband is wholly capable of juggling all the aspects of caring for our home and two older children. He has been completely engaged with them the whole time he has been here and our kids are happy and thriving. It seems the time together is boosting his confidence as a parent and strengthening the bonds he has with our children. And honestly, many days he does a better job as the stay-at-home parent than I typically do.
Let's give dads the respect that they merit. They deserve to know that we believe in them and in their parenting abilities. Just as women don't want to be treated the way their grandmothers were in the workplace, let's not treat men like they were treated in the home in the 1950s. They are capable of cleaning up, cooking dinner, leading dance parties and telling bed-time stories. And as I have seen this week, they can do a first-class job at all of it.

HomeMediaTekMediaTek introduces new Helio chipset lineup, due out Q2 2015
MediaTek introduces new Helio chipset lineup, due out Q2 2015
Although Qualcomm is still the largest supplier of mobile chipsets, its largest rival, MediaTek, is trying hard to shorten the distance between itself and the market leader, inching towards the maker of Snapdragon chips slowly yet steady.
The Taiwan-based chip maker already has the upper hand in the entry-level market and a slight supremacy in the mid-range one, as many representatives of these segments are powered by its chips. But more prominent presence in the high-end segment is still a bit elusive for the manufacturer; however, its upcoming top-tier chipsets might make it a bit more competitive in this regard.
This year MediaTek has announced its new Helio family of high-end mobile chipsets. The new chipsets consist of two sub-families - Helio X and Helio P. MediaTek actually unveiled details about only one chip in the Helio X lineup.
The Helio X10 is a 64-bit chipset with eight Cortex-A53 cores clocked at 2.2GHz. Additionally, the chip supports display refresh rates of up to 120Hz and slow-motion video recording at up to 480fps in undisclosed resolution.
There's no word on the specs or the features of the other chipset lineup, the Helio P, which is described as a family of "premium performance chips". We are pretty sure that MediaTek will provide more details about it as 2015 progresses. What's more, we should expect the first Helio-powered smartphones sometime in Q2 2015.
Undoubtedly, the Helio X and probably the Helio P chipset lines are aimed directly at Qualcomm and Samsung, which are the makers of some of the most powerful smartphone chipsets in the industry right now - the Snapdragon 810 is powers the new HTC One M9, while Samsung is setting a new bar with its 14nm FinFET Exynos 7420 chipset which powers the Galaxy S6 and the Galaxy S6 edge.

Zion, Illinois was the American center of Flat Earth theory in the early-to-mid 20th Century. It was a small community (roughly 6,000) focused largely on the Christian Catholic Apostolic Church, headed at first by John Alexander Dowie and later by Wilbur Glenn Voliva, the latter being one of America's most prominent Flat Earth proponents in the 20th Century. Zion reached its peak in the Flat Earth movement in the 1920's and 1930's, although interest began to wane after Voliva's death in 1942.
Zion remains a small city of roughly 25,000 residents. The Christian Catholic Apostolic Church has since been renamed the Christ Community Church and functions as a Protestant Evangelical church.

In America flat-earthism became a central doctrine of Wilbur Glenn Voliva's Christian Catholic Apostolic Church in Zion, Illinois. During the 1920s and 1930s, thousands of residents of Zion were at least nominally flat-earthers. In some families three generations learned the flat-earth doctrine in Zion parochial schools. From his 100,000 watt radio station, Voliva used to thunder against "the Devil's triplets, Evolution, Higher Criticism, and Modern Astronomy." The popularity of flat-earthism declined in America after Voliva's death in 1942

CSI" -- A Nurse's Perspective"
Shadonna Hawkins, a master's student in the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing Forensic Nursing Specialist Program, recently became the first nurse to complete an internship with the U. S. Navy's Naval Criminal Investigative Service (NCIS). In an interview conducted with Johns Hopkins Nursing writer Jim Miller during her internship, she describes her experience.
Q. What is the Navy Criminal Investigative Service, and what is its charge?
A. It's an elite, worldwide federal law enforcement organization staffed by civilian special agents, intelligence specialists, and other professionals. Its primary mission is to protect and serve the United States Navy and Marine Corps by providing law enforcement, counterintelligence, and security functions and by taking measures to prevent, protect, and reduce the major criminal, intelligence, and terrorist threats that confront naval forces.
Q. What is your role at NCIS?
A. I'm assigned to the Death Investigations Unit. I perform case analyses, develop case analysis reports for the Death Review Board, and view photographic evidence. My knowledge of forensic wound identification and documentation enables me to identify the accuracy of the information presented in the cases. Also, my education helps me to interpret medical records and decipher autopsy reports. At NCIS I've been able to incorporate my forensic education, past clinical experiences, and basic nursing knowledge.
Q. What has been your most unusual experience while at NCIS?
A. Probably going to the firing range. We went on a field trip and were side-by-side with agents firing several weapons. Initially, handling a gun was a scary experience but with some help I quickly got over my fears. We not only fired several guns, but even loaded them. Who would have thought it….a nurse firing a semi-automatic weapon!
That experience proved very helpful. When you actually fire and view the weapons that cause a wound, it can potentially make your assessment of the wound more accurate. It also advanced my understanding of ballistics, an often complex forensic topic and made it "real life" for me.
Q. Is there any aspect of your nursing education that has been especially helpful?
A. Team play has been invaluable. NCIS collaborates with numerous agencies during investigations and team play is imperative. Because I'm accustomed to working in a team environment, I've been able to meet the organizations' expectation of team cooperation and integrate it in my daily activities.
Teamwork is also one of the major differences between "real life" and television portrayals of CSI work. At a crime scene everyone has a function and one person does not function in all these capacities as often portrayed on TV.
Q. What sparked your interest in forensic nursing?
A. As an undergraduate I visited the Medical Examiner's Office and it was like no other clinical I had experienced. From entering the autopsy room to the end of the autopsy observation, my heart raced with excitement and intrigue. It was unique. That led me to the newly formed Clinical Nurse Specialist degree with a forensic focus program offered by the Johns Hopkins University School of Nursing.
Q. Do you intend to pursue a nursing career in the law enforcement field?
A. The job market appears very promising. Through my NCIS internship, my interest in federal law enforcement has grown and I believe the field will be a good fit for me, one where I can utilize the analytical skills obtained through my basic nursing and forensic education and past clinical experiences. Now my goal is to be one of the first forensic nurses-to show federal law enforcement how our skills can benefit law enforcement organizations.

Press freedom advocates released after detention in Tanzania
Committee to Protect Journalists staffers were on a reporting mission when they were detained in Dar-es-Salaam.
Mumo [left] and Quintal [right] were on a reporting mission when they were detained [Committee to Protect Journalists]
Two press freedom advocates taken from their hotel in Tanzania by security officers have been released, a South African government official said on Thursday.
There were concerns after it emerged that South African journalist Angela Quintal, Africa programme coordinator for press freedom group the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), and her Kenyan colleague Muthoki Mumo had been detained by authorities on Wednesday evening without explanation.
However, on Thursday morning, Ndhivo Mabaya, spokesman for South Africa's foreign ministry, told AFP that "they were both released".
Tanzania law for online content 'threatens free speech'
Mabaya said their release came "after a lot of calls" but neither of the women had been given back their passport.
"We need to understand the circumstances... (we) must get all the facts in order to engage the Tanzanian authorities," Mabaya said.
He added that both women were currently at the South African embassy in Tanzania's economic capital Dar-es-Salaam.
CPJ said that Quintal, a former editor of South Africa's Mail & Guardian newspaper, and Mumo were legally in Tanzania "on a reporting mission" when they were detained.
"Officers who identified themselves as working with the Tanzanian immigration authority detained Quintal and Mumo in their hotel room in Dar-es-Salaam," CPJ said in a statement.
"The officials searched the pair's belongings and would not return their passports when asked. Quintal and Mumo were then escorted from the hotel and... taken to an unknown location."
Soon after their detention, an uncharacteristic tweet was sent from Quintal's Twitter account - reading "God is great we are released going back to our hotel" - raising fears that someone had accessed her electronic devices.
"The tweet by @angelaquintal was not sent by her," wrote Quintal's niece Genevieve Quintal, also a journalist. "This shows someone is using her account."
Shocked to learn of the arrest of @pressfreedom's @angelaquintal and @muthokimumo by Tanzanian authorities. They should immediately be released. https://t.co/rq4NdMy1VB
— Nicholas Dawes (@NicDawes) November 7, 2018
Crackdown on independent media
Both Quintal and Mumo's social media accounts have since been deactivated.
Rights groups and media advocates have expressed concerns about the freedom of expression in the country.
Since his election three years ago, Tanzania's President John Magufuli has cracked down on independent media, closing down critical newspapers, while rights groups have protested against the imposition of restrictive laws on freedom of expression.
Tanzania threatens to crack down on anti-government protests against cyber laws
Reporters Without Borders, a pressure group, ranked Tanzania 93rd out of 180 countries worldwide in its 2018 World Press Freedom Index, down 10 places from the previous year.
Other freedoms are also under pressure, with a powerful Dar-es-Salaam official last week announcing an anti-gay witch-hunt to track down people suspected of engaging in homosexuality, which is illegal in Tanzania under British colonial-era laws.
Earlier in 2018, the Tanzanian government had approved a new law regulating online content.
The new regulation gives the government the right to revoke the permit if a website publishes content "that leads to public disorder" and "threatens national security".
Recently, Nanjala Nyabola, a political scientist, also raised alarm over the passage of an amendment to Tanzania's national statistics law, imposing criminal penalties for anyone who publishes information that challenges the government's statistics.
"All of these rules are part of a growing network of invasive, dehumanising legislation," Nyabola warned.
On October 31, Zitto Kabwe, a leader of the ACT opposition movement, was detained for questioning following a press conference in which he accused the police of killing dozens of residents of Kigoma, where he is a legislator, during an operation to address illegal grazing.


The New Moon will come exact early Friday morning, and aligns with the Sun in Cancer, and this begins the New Moon Cycle. With the Moon and Sun both being in sensitive, private Cancer we're looking for something that has meaning, while creating something that provides us emotional security and safety. We experience our world in a more deep, emotional way in this energy. This should be a pretty emotional New Moon.
Cancer is the first Water sign of the Zodiac. The water element represents our Emotions, and water has to move and flow or it backs up and can cause blocks. We must work on our emotional body, and let our feelings out in a healthy way. Allow your emotions to flow out of you. If we don't allow our spiritual bodies to release these emotions, we can get stuck and even sick. Disease is always about emotions being stuck in the body, no matter how it manifests physically. Choosing not to do so can lower your vibrations, and then illness can set in. Research your emotions and work on what needs healing.
Water being the key element here, again represents our emotions. We know what our emotions are doing by how we "feel." Many of us are learning still how to work with our own feelings, as it's become more acceptable over the years. Our feelings tell us very important information. If you tap into them, you'll know what you need. This can help keep you stay healthy, both emotionally and Spiritually.
The problem is when we don't listen to our feelings, we end up relying on others to control how we live, and get distracted from our true Soul messages, this can cause us to get lost in unhealthy activities, like eating too much or drug and alcohol abuse.
This New Moon is happening during the very "last phase" of the "Grand Cross" energy between Mars in Libra, Uranus in Aries, Pluto in Capricorn and this time the Sun in Cancer. There will be a huge shift in mid-July, as this energy falls away. Pay attention to your feelings and open your spiritual heart to embrace this more than welcome new energy.
Finally, this New Moon is about being able to change and mature. Change is very scary for some, even if it's familiar feeling. We're letting go of our old beliefs that are keeping us held down from living our full potential. It's important to nurture yourself, so that we can make changes over the next few weeks in a healthy way. It's all about the sign of Cancer this go around, and that's about self-care and nurturing oneself!

Maggie Danner has been on the Sage Hill School varsity volleyball team since she was a freshman.
You could say her senior year ended abruptly. The No. 3-seeded Lightning lost to top-seeded rival St. Margaret's in five sets in the CIF Southern Section Division 3-A title match Nov. 17 at Cypress College. The following day, they found out they weren't selected for the CIF State playoffs like they were last year.
The main picture that ran in this newspaper after the CIF title match was of Danner, crushed, crying on the shoulder of a teammate. The loss was stunning for the senior outside hitter, a team captain.
But life goes on. Danner said she will play club this year with a St. Margaret's rival, Gigi Morally, on a TStreet 18-and-under team. Danner is also planning to play college volleyball at Amherst College in Massachusetts, a Division 3 program.
But just being in the CIF title match against St. Margaret's for the second straight year, after helping Sage win the Division IV-AA title last year? Those are memories that Danner won't soon forget.
"Even though we didn't win this year, going to the finals two years in a row is so exciting," she said. "Not many people get that opportunity. It was fun. Every game is fun, every volleyball season is fun. Playing St. Margaret's is always intense ... This year was just as exciting as last year, even though we didn't win. I got to end my high school volleyball career on such a good note."
Danner, the Daily Pilot Athlete of the Week, revels in the team aspect that volleyball provides. Yet, individually, she played some of her best volleyball at the end of the season.
Sage Hill Coach Dan Thomassen said that another of his outside hitters, sophomore Halland Mckenna, suffered a sprained ankle in warmups in the 3-A final. Mckenna gutted it out, playing through the injury to record 10 kills, but she clearly wasn't at 100%.
The Tartans were able to key on Danner, who nevertheless had one of her best matches. She tallied 23 kills, three aces and three blocks. She almost helped Sage Hill (21-6) rally from two sets down before the Tartans prevailed, 25-20, 25-22, 11-25, 17-25, 15-8.
"She definitely played her best at the most important time," Thomassen said. "The entire playoffs, she's been a go-to hitter. We usually spread it out, but she's been extremely consistent."
Versatile, too. Danner led the Lightning with 286 kills this year, but she was also third on the team with 47 aces and 202 digs.
The Lightning certainly had a memorable run in CIF. Danner helped lead them to a five-set road quarterfinal win at Riverside La Sierra, then another five-set victory at No. 2-seeded Ontario Christian in the semis. Danner led the way with 21 kills in the latter match.
Danner, one of three team captains along with senior middle blocker Brenna Van Hoogenstyn and junior defensive specialist Claudia Noto, thrived in the role.
"None of us were captains before," Danner said. "We took a silent leadership [role]. It wasn't like it was the three captains telling everyone what to do. We were a team. I think our main role was to make sure that everyone could do it, keep everyone's hopes up."
Danner has never been the loud type. Thomassen said she has always been a "lead by example" type of player.
But he has also seen her become tougher over the years.
"Early on, I thought she was maybe even a little bit too nice," Thomassen said. "She's always had that killer instinct, but she hasn't always shown it."
Danner agreed that it has been a process. She said her competitiveness has grown as her skills have improved. That will definitely help her at the next level.
"The four years on varsity helped me so much," she said. "I was definitely shy my freshman year and I didn't play much, but it helped me a lot. I never really thought about it, but I guess I have become a lot more competitive. Our practices are more competitive and the people around me are more competitive. When the whole team wants to win, then that makes you more competitive.
"Also, I've learned so much about volleyball over the past four years, and that makes me want to win even more. I love playing and being on the court. I love being with my team, and I want to win with them and for them."
Danner showed it her junior year. She had to play out of position quite a bit, at middle blocker, because the team needed it. This year she was back on the outside blasting kills for the Lightning, who reached the section title match for the third time in program history.
It was a step up from the regular season, when the Lightning perhaps disappointed by tying for second in the Academy League.
But, at the end of the year when it was needed the most, Danner was at her best. She'll now transfer her talents to basketball for Sage; it's another sport where she's a four-year varsity player.
"She worked hard every single practice, nothing fake or flashy," Thomassen said. "It's exactly what you want as a coach, and she's that way in everything she does. She's an awesome student too, and you wouldn't know it unless you've taught her or talked to one of her teachers."
Thomassen said he never taught Danner in a class at Sage Hill.
On the volleyball court, he still watched her make big things happen.
Favorite athletic moment: Helping the Sage Hill girls' volleyball team win the CIF Southern Section Division IV-AA title last year, defeating rival St. Margaret's in the championship match.
Week in review: Danner helped the Lightning return to the CIF finals. She had 21 kills in a five-set road victory over Ontario Christian in a CIF Southern Section Division 3-A semifinal match Nov. 13. She followed that up with 23 kills, three service aces and three blocks in the final, a five-set loss to top-seeded St. Margaret's on Nov. 17 at Cypress College.

The New York City Triangle Factory Fire
by Leigh Benin, Rob Linné, Adrienne Sosin, & Joel Sosinsky
On March 25, 1911, flames rapidly consumed everything within the Triangle Waist Company factory, killing 146 workers. Until September 11, 2001, the Triangle fire was the deadliest workplace disaster in New York City history.
The victims, mostly young Jewish and Italian immigrant women, died needlessly due to unsafe working conditions, such as locked or blocked doors, narrow stairways, faulty fire escapes, and a lack of sprinklers. Mass grief and outrage spread from New York's Lower East Side across the country. Garment union membership swelled, and New York politics shifted dramatically toward reform, paving the way for the New Deal and, ultimately, the workplace standards expected today. Through historic images, The New York City Triangle Factory Fire honors the victims' sacrifice and serves as a reminder of the ongoing struggle for the dignity of all working people.

Muhammad Ali turns 70
Muhammad Ali, known as "The Louisville Lip" as he began his ascension to boxing greatness, will be celebrated in his Kentucky hometown with ceremonies on Thursday and Friday, a family spokesman said.
The three-time heavyweight champion had been at HonorHealth Scottsdale Osborn Medical Center in Scottsdale, Arizona, with what Gunnell initially had described as a respiratory issue.
"After a 32-year battle with Parkinson's disease, Muhammad Ali has passed away at the age of 74. The three-time World Heavyweight Champion boxer died this evening," Gunnell said in a statement. "The Ali family would like to thank everyone for their thoughts, prayers, and support and asks for privacy at this time."
Ali's daughter Hana Ali said his children surrounded Ali in his final moments, holding his hands, hugging and kissing him and chanting Islamic prayer. She wrote that some whispered in his ear, "You can go now. We will be okay. We love you. Thank you. You can go back to God now."
"And now he has gone home to God. God bless you daddy. YOU ARE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!" she tweeted.
Our father was a "Humble Mountain!" And now he has gone home to God. God bless you daddy. YOU ARE THE LOVE OF MY LIFE!

In a separate tweet, Hana Ali said his children surrounded Ali in his final moments, holding his hands, hugging and kissing him and chanting Islamic prayer. She wrote that some whispered in his ear, "You can go now. We will be okay. We love you. Thank you. You can go back to God now."
After Ali's organs failed, his daughter wrote in the tweet, his heart continued to beat for another 30 minutes: "A true testament to the strength of his Spirit and Will!"

My dad, Muhammad Ali
Longtime Ali friend John Ramsey, who works for WAVE in Louisville, Kentucky – Ali's hometown – and who has a radio show on ESPN, was at the hospital with Ali's family when the boxing legend died.
Ramsey said he didn't actually see Ali in the hospital. The people who were with Ali when he died were "the kids, family only, and I respected that… it's a very private matter."
Ramsey said Ali's wife, Lonnie, called him Friday morning, saying Ali's health was deteriorating.
"She said, 'You might want to come out,' which I decided to do," he told CNN's Dan Simon.
Tributes from around the world
While touching tributes to Ali were pouring in from world leaders, fellow athletes and regular folk, the boxing great had already addressed how he wanted the world to think about him after his death.
In his book "The Soul of a Butterfly: Reflections on Life's Journey," Ali said he wanted to be remembered as "a man who won the heavyweight title three times, who was humorous, and who treated everyone right. As a man who never looked down on those who looked up to him, and who helped as many people as he could. As a man who stood up for his beliefs no matter what. As a man who tried to unite all humankind through faith and love."
He added, " And if all that's too much, then I guess I'd settle for being remembered only as a great boxer who became a leader and a champion of his people, and I wouldn't even mind if folks forgot how pretty I was."
President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama mourned Ali's passing.
"But we're also grateful to God for how fortunate we are to have known him, if just for a while; for how fortunate we all are that The Greatest chose to grace our time," the Obamas said in a statement.
The President said he has a pair of Ali's gloves on display in his private study off of the Oval Office, beneath a photograph of the legend.
Obama said Ali "fought for us."
"He stood with King and Mandela; stood up when it was hard; spoke out when others wouldn't. His fight outside the ring would cost him his title and his public standing. It would earn him enemies on the left and the right, make him reviled, and nearly send him to jail. But Ali stood his ground. And his victory helped us get used to the America we recognize today," the President said in a statement issued by the White House.
His hometown pauses to reflect
At a ceremony honoring Ali on Saturday, Louisville Mayor Greg Fischer said the boxer "lived a life so big and bold, it's hard to believe that any one man could do everything he did."
Fischer added, "Muhammad Ali belongs to the world, but he only has one hometown. The 'Louisville Lip' spoke to everyone, but we heard him in a way no one else could – as our brother, our uncle, and our inspiration."
Meanwhile, outside the center, some 15,000 bees swarmed a tree across the street next to a mural featuring Ali and his famous quote, "float like a butterfly, sting like a bee."
"His spirit will go on forever," he said. "He's just a great human being, a champion of the people, the greatest of all time."
Even as the former champ battled Parkinson's disease for his final 32 years, he had the same love for life and people, King said. Parkinson's, which primarily affects a patient's movement, is a "progressive disorder of the nervous system," according to the Mayo Clinic.

Champion for Parkinson's families
In recent years, Ali had largely stayed out of the public spotlight. In his last known appearance, he appeared at a Parkinson's fundraiser April 9 in Phoenix, according to the Arizona Republic. A photo posted by the newspaper showed Ali wearing dark sunglasses.
On the website of the Michael J. Fox Foundation, the actor – who also has Parkinson's – said: "Muhammad was a true legend – a champion in the boxing ring, and a champion for millions of Parkinson's families. We looked up to him as an example of grace and courage in the face of great challenges."
Ali was known not only for his athletic prowess but also for his social activism.
He was born in January 1942 as Cassius Clay. He began boxing as an amateur after his bicycle was stolen and a police officer offered to train him. Clay won a gold medal as a light heavyweight at the 1960 Olympics then turned pro, fighting his first bout in his hometown.
Ali's sparkling career was interrupted for 3½ years in the 1960s when he refused induction into the U.S. Army during the Vietnam War and was convicted of draft evasion. The Supreme Court overturned the conviction.
Ali was prepared to go to prison, King said.
Spent so much of my life preoccupied with Muhammad Ali; watching, reading, thinking and talking about him. I was one of millions.
— Max Kellerman (@maxkellerman) June 4, 2016
He stood his ground on who he was," King said. "He'd rather go to jail than break what he believed in."
During his boxing hiatus, Ali spoke frequently about racism in America.
NBA legend Kareem Abdul-Jabbar called Ali a friend and a mentor.
"At a time when blacks who spoke up about injustice were labeled uppity and often arrested under one pretext or another, Muhammad willingly sacrificed the best years of his career to stand tall and fight for what he believed was right," Abdul-Jabbar wrote on Facebook. "In doing so, he made all Americans, black and white, stand taller. I may be 7'2" but I never felt taller than when standing in his shadow."

Ali went on to win the heavyweight title twice more before retiring for good in 1981 with a record of 56-5.
Ali also was hospitalized in January 2015 with a urinary tract infection. He was hospitalized in December 2014 with pneumonia.
Three off-duty Louisville police officers were to escort Ali's body from Arizona to Kentucky, where funeral services will be held, according to police spokeswoman Alicia Smiley.
CNN's Ray Sanchez and Jason Hanna contributed to this report.

Unidentified gunmen killed the wife of the former minister of agriculture in North Darfur inside their home at dawn on Thursday. They also injured the man's son. The gunmen took over 25 million old Sudanese pounds and gold jewelry from the home of the former minister, Abdelrahman Ahmed Arja. They fled to an unknown destination. There were four gunmen, according to witnesses, who entered Arja's house after he had left for the mosque to perform the dawn prayer. Arja is also a leading member of the ex-rebel movement of Minni Minawi. This incident came 48 hours after another incident, in which gunmen opened fire on Dr. Musa Abdel Ghafar, a leader of the Sudan People's Liberation Movement and former governor candidate in North Darfur. This politician and doctor was attacked on Tuesday at 3:30 p.m., wounded and taken to a hospital in critical condition. His car was stolen too. The leader of SPLM in North Sudan, Yasir Arman, described the attack at a press conference in Khartoum. He said the attack occurred "very near the army headquarters," and called it an assassination attempt.

Attorney to Present Panel on Foreclosures July 13
By BusinessWest Staff June 30, 2015 909
SPRINGFIELD — Local law firm, Shatz, Schwartz and Fentin, P.C. announced that partner Steven Weiss has been chosen as a panelist for a Massachusetts Continuing Legal Education (MCLE) seminar about the issues real-estate professionals face when encountering a foreclosure.
"How to Dissect and Scrutinize a Foreclosure" will be held Monday, July 13 from 2 to 5 p.m. at the MCLE Conference Center located at 10 Winter Place in Boston. The session will also be broadcast live via webcast and recorded for purchase.
The program is designed to help real-estate practitioners and conveyancers better understand changes to case law, statutory enactments and revisions, and regulatory changes that have altered the Massachusetts foreclosure landscape. Attendees will be able to recognize how what they do — or don't do — at the closing table may come back to haunt them.
The panelists, including Weiss, will focus on how to review documents from a current foreclosure or a foreclosure in your back title to ensure that the appropriate documents are, or have been, obtained. They will also review common pitfalls conveyancers must avoid in closing transactions, as well as the role of the bankruptcy trustee in the foreclosure process.
Topics to be covered include foreclosure checklist, deed in lieu as an alternative to a foreclosure, key court decisions and statutory enactments in the foreclosure world, common title issues that arise during the foreclosure process and how they may be addressed, and the role of the bankruptcy trustee in the foreclosure process. There will be an 'ask the experts' question-and-answer session.
The cost of the event is $245 and includes "Massachusetts Mortgages, Foreclosures and Workouts," a comprehensive, practical guide to the mortgage and foreclosure issues facing Massachusetts attorneys today. Cost for MCLE sponsor members is $220.50. A 50% discount of $122.50 is available for new lawyers admitted to practice after 2012. Attendees can earn up to three CLE credits. To register, visit www.mcle.org/product/catalog/code/2150336P01.
Weiss concentrates his practice in the areas of commercial and consumer bankruptcy, reorganization and litigation. He supervises the firm's bankruptcy, reorganization, and workout practice, and represents creditors, debtors, and others in both commercial and consumer bankruptcy cases throughout Massachusetts.

BBC Distortion - Again
Six times between 6 and 9am, today, BBC Scotland headlined: 'The use of mesh implants in Scotland should be banned according to a parliamentary report.' Then told us that: 'The Scottish Government will give serious consideration to the findings.' The implication is clear, that the Scottish Government has the power to ban these implants but has not done so despite the suffering they cause. However, from the 29th out of 31 statements in the BBC Scotland website version of the story we see, at last: 'The spokesman also said the Scottish government did not have the power to ban the use of mesh, which was a matter for the Medicine and Healthcare products Regulatory Agency (MHRA), which is the regulator of medical devices across the UK and is the responsibility of Westminster.'

Decline Of Mainstream Meda
Scotland's is almost uniquely inadequate, inept and unfit for purpose, and instead it reacted with such monumental, sour and sustained petulance to those unexpected occurences that the people of a country which once read https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Sunday_Post', more newspapers per head of population than anyone on the planet have turned their backs on it. Rarely can the demise of any entity have been more richly merited.

The BBC Has Had A Rather Bad August
"North of the Border, BBC Scotland has struggled to accept that independence isn't a "phase," a single issue where balance matters only during an active referendum campaign. It's the new most important faultline in Scottish politics and it is "led" not just by party politicians but by bloggers and locally organised groups all over Scotland. That's why the BBC's failure to report on local pro indy marches across Scotland, organised by All Under One Banner rather (than) the SNP has not just infuriated Yes voters – it's been inevitable given Aunty's rigid understanding of "balance" and who gets to make news."

Climate Change Issues…. Why does the climate topic frequently assume front and center importance in today's culture? In recent days we have experienced a reprise of this famous "topic du jour." Mark Twain's old literary saw, "Everyone talks about the weather but no one does anything about it," was meant to be humorous homespun philosophy. The current obsession with climate issues relates to the common belief that current climate warming is heavily linked with humanity's release of CO2, mainly from fossil fuel consumption. Contrary to Mark Twain, we must be committed to doing something about it. Therein lies "the rub." CO2 is a trace gas in Earth's atmosphere. It comprises a small fraction of 1% of our atmosphere—1/25 of 1%—0.04% to be precise. A societal fixation has gripped our global psyche assigning (1) how much of Earth's warming is attributable to CO2, (2) whether increased CO2 and concomitant warming is good or bad for life on the planet, (3) whether or not climatic disaster awaits humanity if climate "projections" for the future really occur, (4) how much planetary temperature change would accrue from reducing CO2 to previous levels, or (5) if planetary reversal of average global temperatures is realistically possible.
Climate alarmists are certain of their answers. They cite their own versions of scientific support to prove their points, claiming 97 or 98% of the world's scientists agree with their version of the analysis. (This claim is in considerable dispute). All of the five above issues are uncertain at best, unanswerable at worst. A substantial contingent of influential planetary residents, however, has been over-swept with certainty. We are told, therefore, that we MUST act regardless of the cost. Present and future costs are measured, however, in many trillions of dollars. Anyone opposed to this agenda earns the title of denier on whom rests the onus of sabotaging humanity's chances for healthy survival.
The US rejection of the Paris Climate Accord resurrected public reactions with renewed vigor. Politicians, journalists, and commentators of every stripe have weighed in since the announcement of our national withdrawal from the Accord on June 1, 2017. Our national withdrawal triggered much global and national discussion. Our current series of posts was inspired by the recurring exchanges. Our 6-13-17 post linked nine previous posts from 2012 which followed claims of global warming enthusiasts linking the 2012 midwestern drought to climate change/global warming.
We link nine more personal posts from 2014 in the interest of thorough treatment of this lively current topic. These posts were triggered by another remarkable weather event: the brutal midwestern winter of 2013-14. Many climate alarmists claim such weather is somehow linked to global warming in their production of extreme weather events. Our blog posits that these are normal extreme weather events, not climate change events.
Overview: As our series of 2014 climate posts neared an end we became realistic concerning the genuine fear provoked during a violent thunderstorm or windstorm.
Since President Trump withdrew our country from the Paris Climate Accord we have endured a storm of despair and criticism from climate alarmists. Many are famous people in government or the entertainment industry who commandeer the microphones and turn up the speaker volume. They loudly claim affirmation from scientists. Our populace is deluged by claims from the authority of science on multiple issues without being informed of the possibility of ideological overlay in the science profession. Climate is a hot-button issue which parallels the lines of political ideology. Generally, citizens divide themselves politically along the lines of climate alarmism on the left and climate optimism on the right. We use the somewhat hackneyed, time worn example of perceiving the glass as half empty or half full.
Global attitudes toward our exquisite planetary climate system have now been linked by the EPA to the perception that CO2, a plant-sustaining trace gas in our atmosphere, is a dangerous pollutant. The effects of slight warming of the Earth's atmosphere (1.3º C in the last 136 years) provokes environmental horror and predictions of planetary doom in the face of a seven-fold increase in Earth's population and concomitant multiplication of world food supply in the past two centuries. Many weather disasters such as floods, droughts, hurricanes, tornadoes, blizzards, and heat waves have statistically decreased in their frequency and intensity in the last few decades. How then do we account for journalistic zeal touting global warming when ordinary contemporary weather events are reported by the media? We are ruled by a cadre of climate model enthusiasts predicting conditions far into the future. We posit that this negative enthusiasm is unscientific and unhealthy.
Respected meteorologist Roy Spencer has presented meaningful contrarian research to counter popular global warming enthusiasm. For example, he claims the "climate system is dominated by stabilizing processes rather than destabilizing processes." Spencer is a signatory to "An Evangelical Declaration on Global Warming," which states "Earth and its ecosystems—created by God's intelligent design and infinite power and sustained by his faithful providence—are robust, resilient, self-regulating, and self-correcting, admirably suited for human flourishing, and displaying his glory." Spencer believes most climate change is natural in origin, the result of long-term changes in Earth's albedo (portion of incident radiation reflected by a surface) and anthropogenic greenhouse gas emissions have caused some warming, but its warming influence is small compared to natural, internal, chaotic fluctuations in global average cloud cover.
Popular alarmist opinion poses release of CO2 from fossil fuel burning as a "destabilizing process" as mentioned in the above paragraph. CO2 is a divine favor supplied by the Creator of planet Earth. The tiny amount of warming experienced by Earth since 1880 should be considered a blessing, certainly not a bane. Moderate warming has been a boon to agriculture. A small increase in CO2 levels has been proven to promote better crop growth as have other man-made improvements in agricultural practices.
We would like to see the microphone transferred into the hands of reasonable climate scientists and out of the hands of unreasonable climate alarmists. Politicians and Hollywood entertainers feed on power and public adulation. Our perception is that the power of ideology has been manipulated by political parties and entertainers far too long. We pray that sound science and ordered thinking would predominate.
The climate system is exquisitely beautiful and productive in terms of its ability to supply our world population with food. Since world industrialization world population has increased dramatically. In 1900 world population was 1.5 billion; in 2000 population was 6.1 billion; in 2017 it grew to 7.5 billion. In 1880 fossil fuels began to be a major factor in the growth of humanity. In 1850 the world's Little Ice Age came to an end and world temperatures began a slow climb. Shining through the haze of climate alarmism is the current obsession with CO2 emissions. Of course, CO2 contributes to some warming of the atmosphere, but likewise, so do many other atmospheric components. Often neglected in the climate change mania is the effect of stupendous world population growth and the rapid urbanization of the world's elevated population. This elevated population has not always contributed positively as they densely wedged into urban areas, cleared the Amazon rainforest, and contributed to Earth warming in multiple other ways.
Analysts have highlighted complex global weather oscillations which have existed since man inhabited this planet. These oscillations are not well understood or appreciated as many focus inordinately on fossil fuels. Not only have these weather oscillations existed since the Little Ice Age ended in 1850, but they were present to extricate Earth's population from the Wisconsin Ice Age and launch humanity into the famous "agricultural revolution" when the Ice Age abated about 12,000 years ago. From the end of the Ice Age until the present there have been at least a dozen minor and major climate oscillations in which CO2 was not a major player.
In future posts we will develop the position that reducing the fossil fuel burning to a fraction of present levels in response to the perceived dangers of continued CO2 emission would devastate the health of uncounted millions of poor people in developing nations as well as shackle the United States with costs of trillions of dollars. These are financial resources which could be more appropriately expended to "subdue the Earth" and benefit humanity in other prudent and beneficial ways (Genesis 1:28).
The geologic history of Earth has provided hydrocarbons usable in modern times in great abundance. These are accurately described as fossil fuels. We now tap into petroleum, natural gas, and coal deposits produced tens or hundreds of millions of years ago as the result of decomposition of buried dead organisms originally produced by photosynthesis. Additional deposits are being discovered constantly. New methods are being discovered to recover these treasures of fossil energy. The Creator, timeless in his planning and provision had humanity in mind to provide wonderful stores of energy for our age of technology. For this, we offer humble thanks.
The Paris Climate Accord is woefully misnamed. President Trump has withdrawn the United States from the "accord." In truth, there is very little accord. The lack of accord is only exceeded by the lack of wisdom manifested by the negotiators of the Paris agreement. I challenge readers to examine its fine print and the implications of compliance. Adherence by every nation to the Paris pact may promote economic disaster. Moreover, the trillions of dollars of costs in transitioning out of fossil fuels and into non-carbon renewables is projected to avert only 0.3º F of warming by the year 2100. That is less than 0.04º F per decade and would cost the United States multi-trillions of dollars. One must question the disordered thinking of the world's globalists.
The climate change debate is grounded on certainty that harmful climate change has resulted in or would result from the addition of 50% more CO2, a trace gas in the atmosphere, since industrialization. This trace gas, a vital gift of God for sustaining plant life, has been labelled a pollutant by the EPA. The fraction of CO2 has increased from 1/3600 of the atmosphere several hundred years ago to 1/2500 today, a mere difference of 1/8700. Climate models can only explain half of the warming that actually occurred. There was really not much warming: 1.3º C from 1880 to 2016. Intuitively, we perceive something is amiss with the global warming paradigm hanging over our society. We are sometimes obsessed with alarmist climate projections.
We deny that an infinitely wise Designer, infinitely powerful Creator, and perfectly faithful Sustainer of the Earth would have made it susceptible to catastrophic degradation from proportionally small causes, and consequently we deny that wise environmental stewardship readily embraces claims of catastrophe stemming from such causes.
We affirm that by God's design Earth and its physical and biological systems are robust, resilient, and self-correcting.
Climate change has become one of the most riveting political issues of our day. The climate issue has become not only a United States concern, but increasingly is becoming a global matter with intricate economic implications.
At first glance, globalism seems to be a concept worth promoting. We desire collective benefit for the healthy well being of all nations of the world. But when we examine the concept we realize there is limited benefit in rampant globalism in climate and other issues. Of course, God's people should be concerned about the welfare of all humanity. Globalism, however, is not a simple matter of seeking the benefit of all humanity altruistically. Complexity is inherent as we work out our altruism. Nationalistic traditions and pride in work and productivity are benefits gifted by the Creator to all peoples of the Earth. As we examine the diversity of humanity, we must maintain awareness of national differences while striving to live peaceably: "If possible, so far as it depends on you, be at peace with all men" (Rom. 12:18 NASB).
The Paris Climate Accord of 2015 has a positive ring. Genuine "accord" on significant political differences between and among the nations of the world is a difficult standard to achieve. Political turmoil and conflict have been rampant since the rise of nations. The rise and fall of nations, often the title of a popular book or article, chronicles the unfortunate reality. Nations work for their own benefit and agree to actions which generally benefit themselves. Some of the most destructive "agreements" have been negotiated by our national leaders on dubious initiatives which could clearly harm our nation. For this discussion, we offer our analysis that The Paris Climate Accord exemplifies a dubious action. We are glad our president has turned us away from The Paris Climate Accord. The "accord" could harm our country and may not even benefit other countries for whom we profess concern.
We quote leaders within an organization which has gained respectability as an advocate of sound science as well as a champion of orthodox theology. I highly recommend The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation. The following statement appears in virtually every one of their communiqués. "The Cornwall Alliance for the Stewardship of Creation seeks to magnify the glory of God in creation, the wisdom of his truth in environmental stewardship, the kindness of his mercy in lifting the needy out of poverty, and the wonders of his grace in the gospel of Jesus Christ." This Ankerberg Science/Faith blog attempts to remain faithful to sound principles and practices of science and prudent political actions of our government in response to advances in science. After all, our leaders must be committed to wise executive decision-making which protects the interests of our own citizens.
Accordingly, we lead with several acknowledged scientific truths and their counterpart in "politically correct science." The primary cause of global warming is not the burning of fossil fuels. Global warming (now renamed "climate change") is the natural, historically acknowledged tendency of Earth to react to many phenomena of our complex climate system. Science "experts" may pinpoint a cause among any of multiple causes for slight climate warming. From 1880 to 2016 global temperatures have risen only 1.3º C. Many scientific experts have chosen to highlight primarily ONE cause—consumption of fossil fuels and their production of CO2 when burned—as the cause of climate change (global warming) we have already observed.
Our readers may have become confused by these statements. In our next posts we will examine how unreasonable these requirements are in the light of scientific uncertainties. Science is touted as proving that present emissions of CO2 are projected to harm our future environment in specific ways. Dubious climate models concerning future conditions stray outside the bounds of sound science and are limited in their claims of certainty.
With this post we conclude our series on "the usefulness of science to promote faith and belief in God's realty, especially the promotion of a viable faith in young people. We present statements from James Clerk Maxwell's fertile mind concerning the dual spheres of science and faith, linking Maxwell's deep spiritual insights with his profound scientific gifts. We encourage prospective parents and teachers to embrace this challenge in order to enrich their children's faith search according to their age and level of their ability.
"The Creator governs his material works by definite laws resulting from the forces impressed on matter," Maxwell stated. "Every atom of creation is unfathomable in its perfection." He claimed, "None of the processes of Nature, since the time when Nature began, have produced the slightest difference in the properties of any molecule." Details of the structure of atoms were not discovered or publicized until decades after his death.
Maxwell believed the features of the universe were created, not eternally existent. He opposed the philosophy of some scientists in his day, and would have opposed many in our present day who lean toward philosophical naturalism: Nature is all there is. "We are therefore unable to ascribe either the existence of the molecules or the identity of their properties to the operation of natural causes," he voiced. He fits the definition of a theistic scientist without frequently endorsing a mysterious "God of the gaps" perspective in his practice of science. Natural laws were authored by the God of Creation.
We join with Maxwell in believing quality science is inseparable from faith. As the Creator of all things, God is also author of the science/faith duality. James Clerk Maxwell provides a reasoned, persuasive apologetic model for our Christian faith. His worldview is part of the legacy we strive to pass on to our young people.

Brand new adventures for a whole new set of Montgomerys! As much as I loved the Denver Montgomerys, and wanted them all to find their HEA, I was reluctant to see the series end. And then, I found out there are more! This book begins the series of the Colorado Springs Montgomerys, who are cousins to the Denver Montgomerys, and Shep's sisters (Shep from Ink Inspired, which began the Montgomery Saga!) This made my day! I was totally overjoyed!
This book focuses on Adrienne and Mase. They are best friends (their relationship reminds me a lot of Maya and Jake). At the beginning of the book, Adrienne and Shep are partnering in a new tattoo shop, a sort of "franchise" of MI. Mase also took the leap, following Adrienne from the shop they worked at together, to her new shop. He is also a single father.
This book is all about friendship, and how it can change into….more. It has that slow burn that all of a sudden explodes when you least expect it. This is totally one of the hottest books I've read recently! Adrienne and Mase are…..indescribable. There is so much angst in this story, my heart hurts for them. They have an amazing relationship as friends, and I can't imagine the leap of faith it would take to move from that to something else.
Mase is a hardworking, loyal, stand up guy. He is an amazing father, dependable friend, and always there for Adrienne. Adrienne, on the other hand, is a tough cookie! Strong, brave, and everything I want to be when I grow up! She is always putting others needs and wants ahead of hers.
This story totally blew my mind. I was excited about the concept of following the Montgomery family from city to city, before I began reading. After reading Adrienne and Mase's story, I am eagerly anticipating the rest of the sibling's stories! This was a fantastic continuation of the Montgomerys and everything I've come to expect from Carrie Ann Ryan! Another wonderful story that focuses on romance, family, and ink!
