Panthers drop DeTour, forge tie in Eastern U.P.
PICKFORD — With 5 minutes left in the game and an 11-point lead, Pickford coach Paul Griffin told his girls during timeout not to shoot 3-pointers, even if they were wide open.
The Panthers did him one better: they didn't even shoot the ball, producing a mind-numbing minute-plus of passing and dribbling that would put the most ardent basketball fan to sleep:
Alyssa McCord pass to the right wing to Krysta Wondergem. Dribble. Look inside. Pick up dribble. Kick out to McCord. Dribble. Fake drive. Dribble. Left wing pass to Taylor Miller. Dribble. Pass to the top of the key to Olivia Smith. Dribble. Move to the middle. Dribble. Draw defender. Dribble. Kick out to McCord. Dribble. Step back. Move left. Pass to Miller. Dribble….
Rinse and repeat. It's the old four corners offense, a staple of old-school basketball never seen at the college level anymore and rarely used at the high school level for numerous reasons, one of the biggest is because it's so hard to do. The Panthers ran it to perfection over the last 5 minutes and upset DeTour 42-28 to move into a tie of the Eastern U.P. Conference lead.
"We wanted the layup if it was there, but why shoot the ball when you have the lead?" Panthers coach Paul Griffin said. "You've got to pass and move, you can't pass and stand. We did a good job getting the ball to the middle and forcing them to foul us."
The Panthers (13-5 overall, 6-1 EUPC) moved into a tie for first place with a chance to clinch at least a share of the title next Thursday at Cedarville. The Raiders (15-2, 6-1) host Brimley next Thursday to clinch at least a share of their first conference title since 1994.
The Raiders, who came into the game ranked fourth in the U.P. and ninth in the state in Class D, struggled from the outset and trailed 11-2 before getting their first field goal with 4:47 left in the second quarter.
It was the Panthers' tenacious defense up top, led by McCord's effort on DeTour point guard Alyssa Anderson, that prevented the Raiders from running their usual patient, deliberate offense. Even when Anderson was able to get the ball down low to Nicole Bouwma or Rachel Hoffman, Pickford matched up with Olivia Smith (seven blocks) and Alicia Portice (two blocks).
"Obviously, you have to give credit to Pickford first. They rattled our cage," Raiders coach James Geyer said. "They forced us into some bad passes and some bad turnovers.
The Raiders' 28 points was a season low, less than the 33 they scored in a 33-24 win over the Panthers in January. Portice led the Panthers with 15 points and nine rebounds, while Smith had 11 points, 12 rebounds and three steals.
"We didn't want them to even be able to get the ball out of the perimeter," Griffin said. The girls really stepped up. We talked all week about getting in good position so Bouwma and Hoffman can't turn on you and get a layup. They beat them to the spot."
The Raiders closed the game to 14-8 before Portice scored on an offensive rebound and an inbounds pass to give the Panthers a 19-10 lead at halftime.
"We talked all week that you can't let down on these guys because they're too good a team," Griffin said. "If you get them down, you've got to keep them down. I told the girls at halftime the first three minutes are going to be the most important of the game."
After an Anderson jumper to open the second half, the Panthers rattled off 11 straight points in just over 2 minutes to take a 30-12 lead. The Raiders clawed back to as close as 11 points before the Panthers went into their stalling offense.
"We kind of shot ourselves in the foot there a little bit with some turnovers and some bad passes," Geyer said. "That's the most man-to-man we've seen with that intensity, but it's a varsity game, we've got to be able to deal with that better. We did not match their intensity."
Bouwma led the Raiders with 11 points and 10 rebounds, Lindsey Grzesiak had eight points, and Hoffman had nine rebounds.
DETOUR — Bouwma 11, Hoffman 4, Anderson 5, Grzesiak 8. FT: 9-15. F: 17. FO: Bouwma, Anderson. 3PFG: 1 (Grzesiak 1).
PICKFORD — McCord 4, Rambo 7, Wondergem 2, Miller 2, Portice 15, Babcock 1, Smith 11. FT: 13-26. F: 12. 3PFG: 1 (McCord 1).

There is no doubt that "diminished attention" is a correct diagnosis of the intellectual temperament of our age. I see it to a greater degree each year even in the students I teach, who are among the very best that our high schools have to offer.
But how to treat it? Again and again, we are told in this information-overloaded digital age, complex and subtle arguments just won't hold the reader's or viewer's attention. If you can't keep it simple and punchy, you'll lose your audience. What's the point of having a New York Times article about the U.S. stance toward the Syria that continues on an inside page if nobody is going to turn to the inside page? Even talking about "inside pages" is anachronistic, since more and more people get their news online, with articles that are "up-to-the-minute" but frustrating in their brevity.
By catering to diminished attention, we are making a colossal and unconscionable mistake. The world is a complex and subtle place, and efforts to understand it and improve it must match its complexity and subtlety. We are treating as unalterable a characteristic that can be changed. Yes, there is no point in publishing a long article if no one will read it to the end. The question is, what does it take to get people to read things to the end?
The key point for teachers and principals and parents to realize is that maintaining attention is a skill. It has to be trained, and it has to be practiced. If we cater to short attention spans by offering materials that can be managed with short attention spans, the skill will not develop. The "attention muscle" will not be exercised and strengthened. It is as if you complain to a personal trainer about your weak biceps and the trainer tells you not to lift heavy things. Just as we don't expect people to develop their biceps by lifting two-pound weights, we can't expect them to develop their attention by reading 140-character tweets, 200-word blog posts, or 300-word newspaper articles.
In other words, the "short-attention" phenomenon is something of a self-fulfilling prophecy. First, we tell ourselves that people can't maintain attention. Second, we do nothing to nurture their ability to maintain attention. And sure enough, we "discover" that people can't maintain attention.
A person who is my age can read a very brief and oversimplified discussion of a complex issue and note that it is brief and oversimplified. Such a person might even try to go deeper by consulting other sources. But what of a person who has been raised from the crib on such material? For this person, there is no "brief and oversimplified." There is no experience of "long and complex" to provide a contrast. Before long, people stop realizing that they have an intellectual deficiency that needs correction. Oversimplified becomes the only game in town, at which point, it stops being "over" simplified. If people are fed a steady diet of the oversimple, it can't help but affect the way they think about things. Before we know it, the complexity and subtlety of the world we inhabit will be invisible to us when we try to make sense of what is going on around us.
It is easy to find villains in this war on attention. The news media, both print and broadcast, bear more than a little responsibility. So do magazines—even highbrow ones. What are the chances that we will ever see the like of Hiroshima, by John Hersey (1946), Eichmann in Jerusalem, by Hannah Arendt (1963), A Sense of Where You Are, by John McPhee (1965), or The Yellow Wind, by David Grossman (1988) in The New Yorker's pages ever again? And political discourse offers absolutely no exposure to complexity. I have no doubt that President Obama has a subtle and agile mind. Yet he almost never demands such agility and subtlety from his audience, no doubt because his advisers are telling him about the public's short attention span.
Perhaps the most vivid example of our lost attention is TED and its famous 18-minute talks. I'm a huge fan of TED, having spoken at TED events several times myself. I think TED is a real gift to the world. Virtually all TED talks are interesting, and many are breathtaking. But in TED talks, we have some of the world's most subtle minds talking about some of the world's most complex ideas in 18 minutes! At TED events themselves, with live presentations, the simplification can be mitigated by post-talk discussion—with fellow audience members or with the speakers themselves. Some in the audience have questions or see connections or raise problems that have eluded you, and the post-talk interaction that enriches your understanding of the presentation is a key part of the TED experience. But when you watch these talks on your computer, it is just you and those 18 minutes. TED talks have been watched more than 1 billion times. This can't help but establish a standard for attention and tolerance of complexity that carries over into other parts of life. And the habit of thinking long and hard—of concentrating—gets degraded.
Many college professors have begun incorporating TED talks into their syllabi. The talks are so cutting edge, and so entertaining, that they are an attractive alternative to, say, an article in an academic journal. But when professors do this, they miss the opportunity to demand sustained attention from students and to nurture it.
Must we accept the short attention span generation as a fait accompli and cater to it, or can we reverse a powerful and I think destructive trend?
It would be foolish to expect commercial sources to force complexity on an unwilling public. For them, it's all about ears, eyeballs, and bottom lines. But there is some reason to hope that noncommercial institutions—especially educational institutions—can help reverse the attention-deficit trend by demanding more of their audiences. University of Pennsylvania psychologist Angela Duckworth has shown that perseverance—what she calls "grit"—is a better predictor of academic success than IQ or SAT scores. Grit is about more than sustained attention. It is about responding to challenges by rolling up your sleeves and working harder. But sustained attention is surely a key part of grit. If people don't keep paying attention to a task, they can hardly be expected to persevere with it. We can also see the importance of teaching kids to pay attention in the outstanding success of KIPP charter schools, documented in books by Jay Matthews and Paul Tough.
Most of the existing research on training sustained attention has focused on either mitigating the effects of brain injury or treating kids with ADHD. There are various interventions that have produced measurable positive effects, but one must be careful not to assume that what works to bring pathological cases a little closer to normal will also work with normal cases, especially since the problems with brain-injured and ADHD people are likely mostly cognitive whereas the problems I'm worrying about are probably mostly motivational. When it comes to normal people, there is evidence that training in mindfulness meditation improves sustained attention.
There is also evidence, some of it collected by Duckworth and colleagues, that giving kids not only task goals, but detailed plans for achieving those goals improves sustained attention. And in the KIPP schools, they teach first-graders to pay attention by training them to SLANT (Sit up, Look and Listen to the speaker, Ask questions, Nod, and Track the teacher). As Dave Levin, one of KIPPs founders, pointed out to me in an interview several years ago, KIPP developed this training when he and co-founder Mike Feinberg realized that basic learning skills that are just presupposed in middle-class kids are mostly absent among poor kids from the inner city. These skills aren't anyone's birthright. And my worry is that because of our resignation to short attention spans, we can no longer take these skills for granted in anyone.
Research on training attention may one day produce a magic bullet. For now, I'd be satisfied if we nurtured sustained attention in the same way your personal trainer builds up your biceps—by gradually demanding more and more of students' attention muscles in the classroom.
Developing the "sustained attention muscle" should be a central part of education. Is there any evidence that it is? I fear not, and I think that recent trends are not encouraging. In universities, value is placed on being a popular teacher who commands large enrollments. One doesn't do that by demanding sustained engagement with difficult material. And MOOCs, whatever their potential cost-saving benefits, enable students to watch presentations in brief snatches, perfect for the attentionally challenged, which in turn pressures instructors to organize their material in matching, bite-sized portions. We all let students bring their laptops into class, which virtually guarantees that they will be shuttling between email and web surfing while occasionally taking notes on what is being said. None of this is a recipe for strengthening the sustained attention muscle.
Perhaps I'm crying wolf. Perhaps there are things going on in popular culture to suggest a countervailing appreciation of experiences that demand sustained attention. There are a few somewhat hopeful developments. The longform journalism that used to appear in the pages of The New Yorker and a handful of other magazines is now reappearing online. And there is great enthusiasm for long-form television, as evidenced by shows like The Wire, Homeland, and Breaking Bad. But I'm not sure that the TV shows do the job, despite the complexity of their narratives and the subtlety of their characters. What we don't know about TV is how people actually watch these shows. First, the shows are produced in bite-sized installments. And second, viewers can always hit pause to check incoming texts and emails or grab a snack. Indeed, there was a revealing study by Leif Nelson and some colleagues a few years ago that showed that even though viewers said that commercials detracted from their enjoyment of TV shows, in actual fact, the interruptions led to higher ratings of the shows than when viewers watched them uninterrupted. Nelson's explanation of this result did not appeal to issues of sustained attention, but it seems possible that the attention breaks that commercials bring play a role in making the shows more fun to watch.
The world is complex, and it isn't going to get any simpler. Unless we can create a population that is capable of thinking about complexity in complex ways, it is highly unlikely that the problems of global warming; economic inequality; access to affordable, high-quality health care; or any of the other challenges the U.S. and the rest of the world face will get adequate solutions. Good solutions to any of these problems will be complex, and they will not win support from a population that demands simplicity. Teachers have a responsibility to train complex minds that are suited to a complex world. This is at least as important as teaching young people mathematics, biology, or literature. For teachers, at all levels, attention must be paid to teaching that attention must be paid.

Have a lot of friends on Facebook?
Think that makes you special?
Well, researchers at University College London suggest that you might just be right.
According to a new study published in Proceedings of the Royal Society B, Facebook users with the largest number of pals had greater brain density in areas of the brain associated with social perception and associative memory.
For anyone who has been following the debate over whether technology has been changing our brains, it's worth a read, although the research doesn't answer the question of whether the brain differences in the sample were an effect or a cause of individuals having more online friends.
An abstract of the paper appears below:
The increasing ubiquity of web-based social networking services is a striking feature of modern human society. The degree to which individuals participate in these networks varies substantially for reasons that are unclear. Here, we show a biological basis for such variability by demonstrating that quantitative variation in the number of friends an individual declares on a web-based social networking service reliably predicted grey matter density in the right superior temporal sulcus, left middle temporal gyrus and entorhinal cortex. Such regions have been previously implicated in social perception and associative memory, respectively. We further show that variability in the size of such online friendship networks was significantly correlated with the size of more intimate real-world social groups. However, the brain regions we identified were specifically associated with online social network size, whereas the grey matter density of the amygdala was correlated both with online and real-world social network sizes. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that the size of an individual's online social network is closely linked to focal brain structure implicated in social cognition.

Lee Horbachewski
I had some concerns about buying from you because I have known you for so long and we see each other almost everyday. If something would have gone wrong, would it have made things uncomfortable between us? My experience was great. You really took the time to figure out what I was looking for and I think that the painting suits my family perfectly. I would absolutely recommend you to a friend. Your work is beautiful and your prices are reasonable.
I am thrilled to see the pieces I got from you today on my own wall. Thank you for sharing your amazing talent so generously. Who knew that painting as a way of healing could result in such an explosion of life and happiness... I wish you strength and success. (And I have fantasies of you painting every single wall in my house.)

I was looking for art that would make me smile when I looked at it. I love the style of your painting. I love the abstract designs and the depth and the layers. I love that I could spend months looking at it and discover new things in it that I never saw before. But most of all I LOVE how vibrant your paintings are.
I absolutely do recommend your art to everyone I meet. I'd say to someone interested in buying a painting that "It'll make you happy every day to have a piece or 10 of your art." I love that I can come to your home and buy. That you are warm, friendly and involved with the community.
Ashley Farris
I was looking for whimsical, freedom, colour, play and inspiration in art. My experience with Belinda's art is incredible. You are very talented, there is such raw emotion, play and beauty in your art, and you are an incredible free spirit and beautiful soul.
Lee Horbachewski
Purchasing online was really easy and your communication with me regarding the status of my purchase including shipping was really good. As soon as I opened the box, I was extremely pleased that I had decided to take a chance and buy it. Both of the paintings I have purchased hang in my office. Almost everyone has something to say or notices something different about them -- the folks from our fine arts division especially.
Elizabeth Scherer
Your art just speaks to me. Its like a song sung straight to my heart. Do I have enough wall space for everything I want?!! May need to take up a second job for my art addiction. I give people art tours when they come to my home. I just love you!!!
Ashley Farris
After seeing your posts as you worked on various pieces, I started thinking about the possibility of purchasing one. Although I was worried that I would end up with buyer's remorse, I finally came to the conclusion that, if your art was that compelling on-line, it would only be more so in person. I decided that I'd combine mom's day/bday/anniversary and give myself something special. My experience was phenomenal! Ultimately, I think your art just makes people happy, which is no small thing.
Elizabeth Scherer
I look at your work and escape to another world! Your art is amazing. I want to look at it daily.

Getting back surgery to fix fractures caused by compression of the spine may not be any more beneficial than more conservative treatments, according to a new study of Medicare patients. Researchers found that people who had so-called spinal augmentation had a similar likelihood of dying or having major complications as those who didn't have the surgery.
"I can't say there is no effect in patients who swear by their procedure, but in looking at objective measures we can't say it's effective," said Dr Brendan McCullough, the study's lead author who did the research while at the University of Washington in Seattle.
During spinal augmentation, doctors fill compression fractures, usually caused by the bone-thinning condition osteoporosis in people's vertebrae with bone cement. Research has found that spinal augmentation relieves the pain of back fractures, but more recent studies suggest the procedure's perceived benefits may be due to a placebo effect or mind over matter.

Spinal fractures, however, can lead to more problems than just chronic pain. They have, for example, been tied to a doubled risk of death. Therefore, some believe the procedure may help reduce the risk of death in people with fractures. For the new study, the researchers used medical billing data for people on Medicare, the US health insurance for the elderly and disabled, between 2002 and 2006.
Differences disappeared
They identified 10 541 people who had spinal augmentation to treat their fractured back bones, and 115 851 people who used more conservative approaches, which typically include pain medicine and back braces or girdles. On average, the people included in the study were about 80 years old, mostly female and white.
The researchers found that spinal augmentation patients had fewer complications such as cardiac arrest, pneumonia and stroke, within the 30 days following the discovery of their fracture, compared to those who used more conservative treatments. But that difference disappeared one year after their fractures were discovered, when about 29% of people in both groups had major complications.
People who had spinal augmentation, however, did appear to have a consistently lower risk of death over the first 30 days and one year after their fracture was discovered, compared to the conservative treatment group.
That advantage, however, went away once the researchers accounted for the fact that people who had spinal augmentation appeared to be healthier overall than the people who picked more conservative treatments. What's more, people who had the procedure ended up in hospital more often over the next year, compared to the conservative treatment group.

They were also more likely to be admitted to an intensive care unit or sent to a nursing home. The researchers can't say that the procedures didn't give some of the patient's relief from pain, said McCullough, who is now a neuroradiologist with Radia in Seattle.
Unproven benefits
In an editorial accompanying the study in JAMA Internal Medicine, Dr Douglas Bauer writes that the study "convincingly" shows that spinal augmentation is unlikely to reduce deaths after back fractures."Until better evidence becomes available, the potential benefits of vertebral augmentation remain unproven, and it should not be routinely offered to patients with osteoporotic vertebral fracture to improve pain, improve function, or reduce mortality," Bauer, a professor at the University of California, San Francisco, added.
However, Dr Kirkham B. Wood, chief of the orthopaedic spine service at Boston's Massachusetts General Hospital, said the new study has limitations. For example, it did not separate the two main forms of spinal augmentation surgery from the other, and an older form of augmentation made up the majority of the included procedures."It's not going to change anyone's practice," Wood said about the study, adding that the procedure is still important to consider.

text: The Second Chance Act of 2007 (Pub. L. 110-199) provides comprehensive responses to the increasing number of incarcerated adults who are released from prison, jail, and juvenile residential facilities and returning to communities. There are currently over 2.3 million individuals serving time in our federal and state prisons, and millions of people cycling through local jails every year. Ninety-five percent of all offenders incarcerated today will eventually be released and will return to communities. The coordination of reentry services for members of Native American tribes is even more complex given that they can return from federal, Bureau of Indian Affairs (BIA), state, local, and tribal facilities. Programs funded under the Second Chance Act help ensure that the transition individuals make from prison and jail to the community is successful and promotes public safety. Section 211 of the Act authorizes grants to nonprofit organizations and federally recognized Indian tribes that may be used for mentoring programs to promote the safe and successful reintegration into the community of adults who have been incarcerated.

WASHINGTON — Landmark immigration legislation is doomed to fail in Congress unless border-security provisions are greatly strengthened, Republican senators bluntly warned on Tuesday.
"If in fact the American people can"t trust that the border is controlled, you"re never going to be able to pass this bill," declared Sen. Tom Coburn of Oklahoma, top Republican on the Senate Homeland Security and Governmental Affairs Committee.
His admonishment, joined by those of other GOP lawmakers, came as both Democratic and Republican senators filed a flurry of amendments ahead of the first votes Thursday in a separate committee on the far-reaching bill to deal with an estimated 11 million immigrants who are in the U.S. illegally and the millions more who might be expected to try to enter in the future. Some of the amendments could destroy the legislation"s prospects by upending the carefully crafted deal negotiated over months by four Republican and four Democratic senators, supporters say.
Border security was the major sticking point on Tuesday.
"If we"re going to get immigration reform through, if you"re going to get it through the House, we"re going to have to do a whole lot more on what is the definition of a controlled border than what is in this bill," said Coburn.
Sens. Rand Paul, R-Ky., and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., voiced similar concerns at a hearing to examine border security provisions of the bill. One of the legislation"s authors, Sen. Marco Rubio, R-Fla., has already acknowledged that the bill will face a tough road to passage if those elements are not made stronger, and in a statement Tuesday he welcomed possible changes.
"In order for this bill to become law, it will have to be improved to bolster border security and enforcement even further and to limit the federal government"s discretionary power in applying the law. In addition, additional measures will be required to address potential costs to taxpayers," Rubio said.
Paul, a tea party favorite who has voiced support for comprehensive immigration overhaul, insisted his goal in raising questions about the bill is to make it better so it can pass not just the Democratic-controlled Senate but also the Republican-run House. He denied that he"s out to kill the measure or slow it down.
Durbin defends bill
"I want to be constructive in making the bill strong enough that conservatives, myself included, conservative Republicans in the House, will vote for this, because I think immigration reform is something we should do," Paul said.
"If it"s not any stronger than this I don"t see it getting through the House."
Echoing concerns raised by a number of Republicans, Paul said that the bill relies too much on setting goals and requiring studies about border security instead of insisting on actual accomplishments. Under the bill, "You have to have a plan to build a fence, but you don"t have to build a fence," he complained.
Sen. Dick Durbin, D-Ill., an author of the legislation, defended the border security provisions and said that for some Republicans, border security is just their excuse to oppose immigration overhaul legislation.
Durbin said that border security is stronger than ever, but nonetheless "we went the extra step in this bill and they"re saying it"s still not enough. You kind of reach a point where you have to question their commitment to immigration reform."
The bill would allocate $5.5 billion for border measures aimed at achieving 100 percent surveillance and blocking 90 percent of illegal border crossers and would-be crossers in high-entrance areas.
The Homeland Security Department would have six months to create a new border-security plan to achieve the 90 percent effectiveness rate. Also within six months, the department would have to create a plan to identify where new fencing is needed. Once that happened, people who were in the U.S. illegally could begin to apply for a provisional legal status.
If the 90 percent rate wasn"t achieved within five years, a commission made up of border state officials would make recommendations on how to do it.
After 10 years, people with provisional legal status could apply for permanent residency if the new security and fencing plans were operating, a new mandatory employment verification system was in place, and a new electronic exit system was tracking who leaves the country.
Among other things, Rubio has discussed strengthening the "triggers" that require certain steps to be taken before a path to citizenship can begin.
Officials with the Department of Homeland Security testified Tuesday that the U.S.-Mexico border is more secure than ever but they said the provisions in the bill would help them make it even stronger. They praised the pending legislation for directing more resources to the agency for surveillance equipment and for authorizing 3,500 new Border Patrol officers.
The hearing touched briefly on the Boston Marathon bombings, which exposed some failures, including an apparent lack of communication among federal agencies when one of the alleged bombers, Tamerlan Tsarnaev, traveled to Russia last year. A student from Kazakhstan accused of hiding evidence for one of the bombers also was allowed to return to the U.S. in January without a valid student visa.
Sen. John McCain, R-Ariz., an author of the immigration bill, said the legislation could be amended to address any such problems, particularly in the areas of humanitarian visas and student visas.

'Ex-Gay' Leader of Christian Cult Accused of Murdering Wife
The leader of a Christian prayer group in the Kansas City, Mo., area is suspected of being behind the murder of his wife, whose death was first thought to be a suicide, the Kansas City Star reports.
The newspaper reports that members of the group, which is connected to the International House of Prayer, a virulently anti-gay group, claimed that the group's leader, Tyler Deaton, was against homosexuality because he struggled with being gay himself. "He struggled with it, but he overcame it," a member of the group told the Star. "It was a victory."
Now, some suspect that Deaton, who was regarded as the group's "spiritual leader," may have been involved with the death of his wife, Bethany Deaton, 27, whose body was found the night before Halloween in the back of her van. Soon after she died, 23-year-old Micah Moore, a member of the prayer group, turned himself into authorities and told them that Tyler Deaton put him up to murdering his wife. He also revealed the horrific acts that allegedly went on behind the group's doors.
According to the Star, several members of the group lived in Tyler Deaton's home in Grandview, Mo., which is about 16 miles south of Kansas City. The Star reports that there were a number of "young adults making sex part of their religious experience" in the clan and the group's men allegedly sexually assaulted Bethany Deaton for months.
Court records show that Moore claimed Bethany Deaton was planning on exposing the group and her husband. Moore confessed that he murdered the young woman and tried to make it look like a suicide. He insists that Tyler Deaton told him to commit the act.
Prosecutors have charged Moore with first-degree murder. Deaton and other members of the group are currently under investigations.
The Star reports that Moore and Bethany Deaton met while they were students at Southwestern University in Georgetown, Texas, which is affiliated with the Methodist Church. Apparently, most of the members of the prayer group were young adults who graduated from the college in May 2009 and then moved to Kansas City to continue their practices.
The newspaper describes Tyler Deaton as a handsome young man who was a member of his high school's National Honor Society and the Young Republicans. He was also a skilled debater, a former member of the International House of Prayer told the Star.
"He could think logically," she said. "He could argue his case. He is really personable. He's smart, articulate and driven."
Christy Little, a woman who was in the same Bible study class as Deaton said she often debated him on religious topics.
"Everything had to go his way," she told the publication. "One time he said there would be no discussion until everyone agreed that the King James version was the only true version of the Bible. Well, I was Catholic so I had a problem with that. So we argued and of course Tyler won everybody over because that's what he did."
While at Southwestern, Deaton was able to put together a large prayer group and after a falling out with the college's administration in 2009, Deaton decided to take his group off campus. After they moved to Missouri, the members lived a cult-like existence, their lives consisting of sleep deprivation, humiliation and constant prayer.
Bethany Deaton's body was discovered in the back of her van in late October with a bag over her head and a suicide note left inside the car.
According to the Star, witnesses alleged that Bethany Deaton was sexually assaulted and drugged over a period of months. Moore claims that members of the group were worried she was going to expose their acts as she planed to speak with a therapist about the attacks. He added that he Tyler Deaton convinced him to kill his wife by telling him that he "had it in him to do it."

Most Reverend
In this month of June, we once again celebrate the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ. This great feast day of the Eucharist is acknowledging the true presence of Christ in our midst at each Eucharistic celebration and the pilgrimage of our daily lives. Jesus has left for us his real, perpetual, and substantial presence in the Eucharist, so that He can be continuously present to and working through the Church and through each and every one of us to consecrate the world to God. This is why we call the celebration of the Eucharist the "Mass"—from the Latin word missio which means mission or to be sent. Jesus Christ comes to us in the Eucharist, fully present in his Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity to not only be intimately present to us in his love and mercy, but to transform us to become more like Him to then go out into the world to witness and evangelize: "Go in peace, glorifying the Lord by your life."
In these challenging days, as we face the many challenges of our daily lives, and especially the current threats to religious freedom, and threats to human life and dignity that are prevalent in our modern culture, we need all the more the transforming power of the Eucharistic Lord so that we can go out into the world to truly make a difference. Only when we truly participate and truly open ourselves fully to the Lord at each and every Mass can this transformation truly happen in us. As Pope Benedict XVI states:
We must all work together to celebrate the Eucharist ever more profoundly: not only as a rite, but as an existential process that touches me in the very depths of my being, more than any other thing, and changes me, transforms me. And in transforming me, it also begins the transformation of the world that the Lord desires and for which he wants to make us his instruments.
— Meeting with the clergy of the Archdiocese of Rome, Feb. 26, 2009
The word Eucharist also means "Thanksgiving," and it is in the celebration of the Eucharist that the Body of Christ the Church gathers together to give thanks to God for the great gift of salvation that is accomplished in Christ. During the Mass we offer ourselves with Christ as a living sacrifice to the Father in the Holy Spirit, but specifically a sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving for all that God has given us in Christ: "Lift up your hearts…let us give thanks to the Lord our God." As the Catechism states:
The Eucharist is a sacrifice of thanksgiving to the Father, a blessing by which the Church expresses her gratitude to God for all his benefits, for all that he has accomplished through creation, redemption, and sanctification. Eucharist means first of all "thanksgiving." (1360)
Thus, this feast of Corpus Christi, which stands in the Church's Liturgical Calendar before the long span of Ordinary Time begins, gives us the perfect occasion to reflect on thanksgiving and gratitude to God, especially for all of those who have ministered and served in our parishes, missions, and institutions these past months. May and June are full of so many celebrations: Confirmations, first holy Communions, graduations from our Catholic schools, diaconate and priesthood ordinations and more. None of these graced events could be accomplished without the faithful witness, dedication, and hours of work by our parish priests and deacons, pastoral ministers, directors of RCIA, catechists, sponsors, and more. To all of them, during the time of reflection on the Eucharist on the feast of Corpus Christi — we need to thank them personally for all they do and are. I want to personally thank all of you who work so faithfully and tirelessly in doing the good work of Christ in the parishes. Through your witness and dedication, you bring Christ to all of the lives that are entrusted to you and continue to build up the Body of Christ, the Church.
I also want to emphasize strongly the centrality of the Eucharist in any of our ministries and work in the Church. As the Second Vatican Council teaches, the Eucharist is the '"source and summit of the Christian life." Therefore, the Eucharist is also the source and summit of our ministry and activity in the Church — our communion with the Real Presence of Christ is the source of his strength and power that encourages us and strengthens us in whatever the Lord has called us to do. As Pope Benedict teaches:
How very significant is the bond between the Church's mission and the Eucharist. In fact, missionary and evangelizing action is the apostolic diffusion of love that is, as it were, concentrated in the Most Blessed Sacrament. Whoever receives Christ in the reality of his Body and Blood cannot keep this gift to himself, but is impelled to share it in courageous witness to the Gospel, in service to brothers and sisters in need, in pardoning offenses. For some, then, the Eucharist is the seed of a specific call to leave all and go to proclaim Christ to those who still do not know him.
— Angelus, October 23, 2005
This is also a time of year of change, often for our parishes and parish priests. Also it is not unusual for pastoral ministers to change position, or move for other reasons. All of this is a cause for reflection on who we are as the Body of Christ: not one individual institution or parish, but part of the greater body of Christ that is the communion of the Church. And in moments of change there are moments of grace and blessing as the Lord continues to work in our lives to build up his Body here on earth. Like the Eucharistic processions of Corpus Christi — we keep moving on toward the goal of a deeper union with Christ and his Church, and eternal life, because in the end, it is all about salvation:
For this reason, the Feast of Corpus Christi is characterized particularly by the tradition of carrying the Most Holy Sacrament in procession, an act of full meaning. By carrying the Eucharist though the streets and squares, we desire to immerse the Bread come down from heaven in our daily lives. We want Jesus to walk where we walk, to live where we live. Our world, our existence, must become his temple. On this feast day, the Christian Community proclaims that the Eucharist is its all, its very life, the source of life that triumphs over death.
— Pope Benedict XVI, Angelus, June 18, 2006
I pray that you all have a blessed and joyful summer, and you and your families will remain in my prayers.
In this month of June, we once again celebrate the Solemnity of the Body and Blood of Christ. This great feast day of the Eucharist is acknowledging the true presence of Christ in our midst at each Eucharistic celebration and the pilgrimage of our daily lives...

Gloria Gaynor on Beyonce, Retirement, and What It Takes to 'Survive'
The disco era may be over, but its queen—and her biggest hit—certainly aren't. Today, Gloria Gaynor's "I Will Survive" boasts nearly 25 million hits on YouTube and has inspired scores of other artists, from Diana Ross to Cake, to record their own versions of the song.
Gaynor, 63, couldn't be happier about the longevity of her song, which recently passed its 30th anniversary. "It's great to know that I'm having this positive impact on people of all ages," she says. "It's a wonderful privilege."
In fact, she's even using the hit's fame to support the Miami Children's Hospital Foundation's Bald, Brave, Beautiful pediatric cancer project. Gaynor rewrote the lyrics, transforming the song into an anthem for kids with cancer.
Plus, with a contemporary Christian album in the works, research for a book underway, and several tour dates planned for this year, Gaynor isn't retiring any time soon. "I definitely have slowed down and do a lot less than I used to, but actually quitting? I don't see that happening," she says.
The legendary singer talked to Parade.com about her favorite (and least favorite) covers of her song, what it feels like to win a Grammy, and the biggest hardships in life that she has survived.
On her favorite and least favorite covers of "I Will Survive."
"The cover by Chantay Savage is my favorite, because she really made it very different. I think that's what you ought to do when you're covering someone else's song. My least favorite is the Cake version, only because they use profanity, and that's something that I would never do, in light of the fact that there are all these young people who want to emulate artists. I feel very strongly about that."
On why she still loves performing "I Will Survive."
"I love it every time that I perform that song. It's my favorite song to perform because of the response from the audience and the stories that I've heard from fans over the years. I've noticed that the song is inspiring, empowering, uplifting, and because of that, I'm doing a book of stories from fans and friends. I'm looking forward to hearing from lots of people about how 'I Will Survive' has had a positive impact on their lives." [You can submit your own story for Gaynor's book here.]
On the biggest hardships she's survived.
"When I recorded this song, I was overcoming surgery on my spine from having had an accident on stage and waking up the next morning paralyzed from the waist down. I was overcoming the death of my mother, and since then, I've had to survive the deaths of five of my six siblings and my divorce. 'I Will Survive' has helped me through a lot."
On what it's like to win a Grammy.
"One of the high points of my career was winning the Grammy for 'I Will Survive.' It's awesome, because you know that this is an accolade that's coming to you from your peers—people who know what it's like to be in show business and know what it takes to accomplish what they feel you've accomplished. It's quite an honor."
On her favorite recording artists today.
"I'm listening to rhythm and blues, some dance music, and lots of gospel music. I still love a variety of kinds of music. I like Beyonce. I think my all-time favorite song of hers is 'Single Ladies.' I also love Alicia Keys, Norah Jones, and Adele."
On finding the energy to continue touring.
"When I'm on stage, all is right with the world. I think the energy comes from the audience. The better your audience, the more energy you have, and the more energy you have, the better show you do. The better show you do, the more they love it, and the more energy they give back to you. So it's like a back and forth exchange between you and your audience, and I think that's where my stamina comes from."

Trip claims that a warp 3 engine would cut a five year trip for the warp 1.8 capable freighter down to six months. Warp 1.8 is 5.832 x c, warp 3 is 27 x c - 4.63 times faster. So the five year trip would only be cut down to thirteen months.
This is the third speed glitch Enterprise has managed in only ten episodes. I know they work to time and money constraints on this show, but would it really have been so terrible to have said "a year" instead of "six months"? Does nobody on this show have the ability to use a calculator?
Great Moment :
We normally only do worst moments for episodes that get a zero rating. This wasn't quite that bad, but we felt that the scene in which the freighter escapes from Enterprise deserves special mention. Earth's finest, fastest and most powerful ship, defeated by a freighter? Why not fire grapnels at it? Why not use the plasma cannon instead of the much slower torpedoes? Why not just chase it after you collect Archer and co. from the container - Enterprise is over twenty times faster than the freighter, even if it took an hour to collect Archer they could then catch the freighter in under three minutes!
Body Count :
The freighter captain is wounded, a Naussican is beaten up, but nobody is killed.
Factoid :
Lawrence Monoson, who plays Ryan in this episode, also played Hovath in the DS9 episode "The Storyteller".
Enterprise gets a call from Admiral Forrest, directing them to go and assist a freighter which has sent out a distress call. On arrival they find a typical freighter crew - Boomer families who are fiercely protective of their independence, despite the fact that newer and faster ships are beginning to make their whole way of life obsolete. Regular victims of Naussican pirates, the freighter's acting captain is determined to track their attackers down and deal out vengeance.
There's some truly odd thinking going on by Archer in this episode. The Boomers are subjected to frequent attacks by these raiders, yet Archer seems genuinely shocked that they might want to fight back. He asks "What gives you the right to take prisoners?" as if it's totally beyond the pale. Well... doesn't the fact that they were shooting at the freighter give them the right to take prisoners? Later he is disquieted by the idea that the Boomers might track the Nausicaans back home and destroy a ship or two. "That doesn't sit right with me," he says. Really? Why not? It seems perfectly reasonable to me.
Archer is talking as if this is vigilante action on the Boomers part. But vigilantism is considered wrong because it shortcuts the justice system - we look down on those who take the law into their own hands because we have police and courts and jails to deal with criminals. Archer is condemning the Boomers, but what is their alternative? Starfleet doesn't send ships out to protect them, doesn't do anything to hunt down or stop the Nausicaans, apparently doesn't ask for help from the Vulcans in protecting them. Archer seems to think the Boomers are wrong to be making any fuss about what is being done to them.
Rather tellingly, towards the end of the episode Ryan asks "What about next time when another freighter gets jumped in the middle of nowhere, what then?" Archer simply ignores the question, because the implication of everything he's said so far is that the freighter crews are honestly expected to just sit there and die without making a fuss about it.
Contrast this episode with "Silent Enemy", when it is Archer who faced an enemy that was stronger and more powerful than his own ship. He couldn't wait to arm himself with the most powerful weapons he could and start shooting back. How would he have felt if the Vulcans had shown up and lectured him about not using violence?
This one is Enterprise's first attempt to give Mayweather some sort of role in the show, and it doesn't go well. It's interesting to look back at this from the perspective we get after Enterprise finished, knowing that Mayweather would become "Super extra", aka The Man With No Lines. Pretty much his only characteristic is that he's a former Boomer, and here they play on that by having him fill two basic roles; first, he argues the Boomer case with Archer. Second, he argues Archer's case to the Boomers. Neither one comes off well. His speaking up for the Boomers consists of a comment or two about how they like to solve their own problems, but he never makes any kind of coherent argument. There's a glaring disconnect between the situation and Archer's response, as I explain above, but Mayweather doesn't explore it in the slightest. And his speech to Ryan consists of "you might piss the Nausicaans off and they might attack my family." Um, they might do that anyway! They're ALREADY attacking Boomers, and the only answer anybody is offering them is that they should cower before the raiders in the hopes that they won't hurt them too badly!
Having thus "explored" Mayweather's Boomer past, they'd pretty much drop the character from here on out.

Julia Roberts talks about 'August: Osage County'
Julia Roberts is long past her days of starring in two, three, even four movies in a year. Nowadays, by choice - the choice of raising a family - she limits herself to one starring role a year (2012: "Mirror Mirror," 2011: "Larry Crowne," "2010: "Eat Pray Love" and some ensemble work in "Valentine's Day"). It's safe to say she's the second lead in the dysfunctional family melodrama/dark comedy "August: Osage County," chewing up the scenery right behind the devouring of scenery by her idol Meryl Streep. Roberts plays Barbara, who she describes as the "oldest and least appreciated sister" in the Weston family. The setting is the Weston home, where cancer-riddled, pill-popping, fouled-mouthed mom (Streep) continues to dominate everything and everyone when the family comes together after dad (Sam Shepard) commits suicide. Roberts recently spoke about her role as well as the awe and respect she holds for Streep.
Have you seen the film yet?
I just did, and I sat between [costars] Dermot Mulroney and Julianne Nicholson. I think I cut off Dermot's circulation, just squeezing his hand with excitement to see what everybody did. It's such a great ensemble, and even though there were a lot of scenes that we were all in together, my favorite one is at the bus station with Benedict [Cumberbatch] and Chris [Cooper]. To watch the way they did that was just heartbreaking. That's why you want to go and see what your friends did so perfectly.
There's already a lot of talk about what's being referred to as the "fish scene," where you and Meryl really go toe-to-toe in emotional intensity. Could you talk about putting that scene together?
The rhythms and the performance of it is terrifying. I think the word "fish" is in the scene like 175 times (laughs). But here's the thing, here's the crux of the biscuit, if you will. We worked our asses off, because there was no other way to do it. I've never worked so hard in my life! And I've given birth to three children! It was like a mountain to climb, every single day. And we discovered that the only way to climb it was holding hands, whether we liked it or not. We would work all day, and go home and shower, then all run to Meryl's house, and start practicing for the next day. Because you had to have that momentum going, otherwise it would just leave you. And it was the best acting experience of my life. I don't know how they did it eight times a week [in the play], without some kind of rehab after. Our experience was a treasure box of discovery for me, and at the top of the heap was Meryl Streep, who showed that it is about working hard. Because I've never seen anybody work harder than she works. She doesn't [just] snap her fingers and be a genius. She really is just the hardest working girl in the room. And I was so grateful to see that up close.
You've said many times in the past how much of a Meryl fan you are. Did the experience of finally acting with her live up to your expectations?
To work with Meryl Streep is a dream come true for anyone. It was intimidating, certainly, to be in those scenes with her. Choking her and things like that is not how I pictured it going, in my mind. All these years I thought we'd be together and having tea, speaking in fabulous accents, and all dressed up, looking very chic. And then there we were, and I'm sweating and I have on a big butt pad. So that wasn't what I had in my dream. But it was amazing, and I think that at the end of every day, coming out of the truth of the Weston family, and into our own truths of who we are together, there was always a hello and a kiss and an "I love you," and that was really the elixir that I needed to come in the next day and to climb over the next table to choke her in the next way. It's very scary to do that kind of stuff. You have to feel really safe with that person. She's not only sublime and superior in her work, she's such a beautiful person that she sees not only what I need as an actor, but what I need as a girl in the world. And she provides all that, all the time.
This movie is all about angry people venting their frustrations, sometimes on each other. How do you deal with that in your own life?
I act (pause). I mean, I don't have to be angry now for 10 more years. I got it all out.
