Coming to you from Menomonee Falls, Wisconsin--I know, that's a mouthful:
First off, I'd love to be sleeping right now, because I have to wake up in 6 1/2 hours, but unfortunately, I picked the spot by a tv and dvd player...so, naturally, four of the admin staff are camped around my bed watching a movie. And, of course, my bed is right next to the television. #firstworldproblems
Yes, I just used a hashtag in my blog. Get over it.
Today was...eventful. One of our kids chose to go home. He has acute patella tendonitis. At least, that's my understanding from what he told me when I picked him up at the hospital. It's the part of my job that I hate--kids telling me they need to go home and making that decision to do so. It was the same with one of the bass drummers early on in the season. It's always so unfortunate to see kids go home, especially after they've worked so hard to get where they are. It's the part of the job I hate.
I blame myself for part of it going down for this kid. I talked to Carol, our medic on tour right now, and I realized that I need to be more proactive when I'm on these medical runs--prepare the kids for what the doc will tell them, because it's always the same thing--"You need to go home. You're hurting your body. You're not going to get better until you stop doing what you're doing. This could ruin your life."
I've heard all of it before. After all, I had tendonitis in four places when I marched.
Yes, I get it, not everyone is the same, but the look on a kid's face when they've just given up hope is pretty heart-wrenching. Again, the part of the job I hate.
Today was change day with the corps--they relearned a large chunk of the closer and it will never be the same.
Change day--in more ways than one...

Exam Prep
Would anyone like to meet up on one of the reading days to go over the final exam paper? If you are interested, you can contact me via email or phone:
If we can get a large enough group, then we can thouroughly analyze the article, and the exam shouldn't be as difficult. Hope to hear from some of you soon.

BYU Rugby Team
'''Brigham Young University Rugby Team'''
'''==History==
'''
The Brigham Young University Rugby Team was first started by John Seggar, a former Rugby player for New Zealand and the United Kingdom. After graduating from BYU, Seggar came back to be the Head Coach and continued to bring his own experience to the new program.
The BYU rugby team grew and the skill of the team’s roster continued to improve with the additions of David Smyth, Mark, and Dean Ormsby. This made up part of the team in the 1980’s that competed for national championships honors. The National Collegiate Tournament then changed the schedule of playing Friday-Saturday to Saturday-Sunday, which contradicts the religious beliefs of Brigham Young University and their honor code. This took away from any opportunities the team had to compete as it had for so many years for a national championship.
After years of work and devotion, and a sudden sense of loss because of the change in the championship format, John Seggar made the decision to retire as the Head Coach of BYU Rugby. Over the next few years, BYU was left to continue on its own. With the loss of the strong leadership that Seggar gave to the team, the team struggled on and off the field. The style that had left with Seggar was reclaimed by the former players David Smyth and the Ormsby brothers. They began to rebuild the team and passed it on to Vernon Heperi who later became BYU’s head coach. After a temporary stay in the United Kingdom, Smyth returned to Utah and continued his 12 year career as the BYU rugby Head Coach. Throughout his career he coached several USA National Rugby Team Members, Collegiate All-Americans, and Pacific Coast All-Stars. Smyth later left in 2002, and Jared Akenhead, the assistant coach for Smyth, succeeded him as the new Head Coach. He was key instrument in bringing the BYU Rugby team to the national collegiate playoffs. Several of his players have received All-American awards and National Team selection honors.

Sri Sri Radha Krishna Temple (Spanish Fork)
== Summary ==
The Sri Sri Radha temple in Spanish Fork, Utah was built to meet the needs of the Hindu community in Utah County, Utah. The temple is located at 8628 South Main Street Spanish Fork UT 84660. The temple hosts seasonal festivals, weddings, receptions, and other weekly services for prayer and meditation.== History ==
The history behind the Sri Sri Radha [[Krishna]] temple is rooted in devoted members of the [[ISKON]] and their efforts to bring awareness of their religion and [[Indian]] culture to western Countries. The influence of this movement can be traced back thousands of years to the basic beliefs surrounding Krishna, and additionally to modern advocates for Krishna Consciousness like [[Swami Prabhupada]].
The Sri Sri Radha Krishna temple located in [[Spanish Fork]], [[Utah]] is in existence mainly due to the efforts of Charu Das (formerly Christopher Warden) and his activity within the ISKCON. Das, is American by birth and left the [[United States]] in order to protest and avoid the war in [[Vietnam]]. Then he traveled through many different [[European]] nations, India, and [[Singapore]]. While in Singapore he met his future wife, and the two of them began a lifetime of work to further Krishna Consciousness. The two went to Australia where they lived and worked for a time. After spending several years with a community of Krishna devotees, Charu left [[Australia]] and returned to the United States where he served in several different positions for the ISKCON.
Das was first encountered Utah in [[1975]] when he traveled to [[BYU]] to sell books for a trust under the ISKCON. His impressions were positive, and he appreciated the atmosphere of tolerance and interest. Years later after leaving his position at a temple near [[Berkley]] he returned to Utah. On November 10, [[1996]] ground breaking ceremonies were held at the temple's current location in Spanish Fork, and on February 16, [[1998]] the construction of the temple began.
The Sri Sri Radha Krishna temple continues to thrive each year as it attracts thousands of guests for both tours and seasonal festivals.

==Notable Games==
==2007-2008 Season==
The [[BYU]] Women's basketball team had a winning record on their home court during the conference season; they won 9 games and lost 5.http://www.byucougars.com/uploads/stats/basketball_w/stats.pdf This team had a lot of talent and athletic girls but it still was a very emotion, very challenging year. Their overall record for the 2007-2008 seasons was 13-16 which gave BYU the No. 5 seed in the [[Mountain West Conference]] Tournament.http://www.byucougars.com/basketball_w/ Their play ended early though when they lost to No. 4 seed [[University of New Mexico]]. It wasn't the Cougars best season but they learned a lot and are expected to come back bigger and better next year.

The [[Brigham Young University]] Men's [[lacrosse]] team competes in the [[Men's Collegiate Lacrosse Association]] (MCLA) and in the [http://www.rmlax.com/ Rocky Mountain Lacrosse Conference] (RMLC). The MCLA is a club lacrosse league and it's teams receive no funding from their representative colleges or the [[NCAA]]. This means that no scholarships are awarded to its athletes; most athletes have to pay team dues to play on the team. Despite the lack of recruiting ability, the BYU Lacrosse team has fared well in the MCLA; they have had consecutive winning seasons since 1996.
The team is notable for their high turnover rate of athletes from year to year and the large percentage of freshmen on the team. This is due to many of the players serving missions for [[The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-Day Saints]], which creates many vacant positions for incoming freshmen classes.
The BYU Cougars lacrosse team defeated the [[Oregon Ducks]] to become the MCLA National Champions in 2007 and look to defend their title in 2008.
==History==
The BYU Lacrosse team was founded in 1975; however, significant records of the team only date back to 1995 when Jason Lamb began his tenure as head coach.
The BYU Lacrosse team had four wins and five losses (4-5) in their first season under Coach Lamb, accounting for their only losing season on record. The Cougars went 13-3 in his second season and have not had a losing season since. The team’s worst record since 1995 came in 2006 when they went 12-8, although during the 2006 national tournament they advanced to the Final Four.{{cite web

During the 2007 season, the national championship game was to be rescheduled to a Sunday due to a conflict with a game for the [[United States women's national soccer team]]. The BYU Cougars—predominately an [[LDS]] team—refused to play on Sunday; the MCLA agreed to reschedule the tournament for the following week.
The Cougars won the national championship in 1997, 2000, and 2007. The Cougars have won the RMLC championship six times in the past 14 years, capturing the title in 1997-1999, 2001, 2005, and 2007.

"No Shhh! Zone"
"No Shhh! Zone"
== Summary ==
The “No Shhh! Zone" is an interactive group and individual study area in the [[Harold B. Lee Library]] at [[Brigham Young University]] in [[Provo]], [[Utah]]. Students use this area as a place to [[study]] and work in groups where they can discuss openly with each other and not worry about the low [[noise level]] that a [[library]] usually expects. The purpose of this study space is to help to enhance the learning opportunities of the [[students]] on campus, and to provide a place for groups to study aloud. This section of the HBLL also provides students with research support, access to both electronic and printed resources, and numerous other services. The “No Shhh! Zone” is part of the[[ Information Commons]] and is home to 26 collaboration stations, 2 creative learning rooms, 50 individual workstations, 2 [[macromedia]] stations, and 4 high-end [[multimedia]] stations.
== History ==
At the beginning of the 2002-2003 school year, a new University Librarian was appointed to work in the Harold B. Lee Library. The new librarian turned to the students for suggestions of improvements in the HBLL and they voiced a need for an area in the library that allows for group discussion, while providing other resources. The library staff took the suggestion to heart and began investigation for a way that students could [[collaborate]] and use [[technology]] to assist in the learning process. After writing up a [[proposal]] and presenting it to the Library’s Administrative Council, the project was approved; it was decided to be implemented over the next three to five years in phases. On February 24, 2004 the “No Shhh! Zone” opened and the students of Brigham Young University have been using it to benefit their education ever since.
==Rules==
The [[rules]] of the “No Shhh! Zone” follow the basic [[guidelines]] of the other buildings on Brigham Young University’s [[campus]], but the specifics are established by the society of students who work and study in this area. The basic rules and guidelines are: *No [[food]] or [[drink]], unless it is [[water]] in a capped container.*Noise must be kept within a reasonable level, not to disturb other groups. *Group study rooms are reserved online at the HBLL’s website.

Shiz is an individual from the [[Book of Mormon]]. Located in the [[Book of Ether]], Shiz was one of two Jaredite leaders during their final wars. Shiz fought a war against [[Coriantumr]] which eventually led to the destruction of the entire [[Jaredite]] people.
== Initial Conflict ==
Shiz came to power after the death of his brother, Lib, who was slain by Coriantumr in battle. After assuming command of the army, Shiz pursued Coriantumr’s army to extract vengeance for the death of his brother. Shiz’s army became very powerful, killing thousands and destroying many Jaredite cities.http://scriptures.lds.org/en/search?search=Ether+14%3A16-17&do=Search. Shiz and his army became so great that the entire Jaredite nation began to fear for their lives and choose sides with the army of Shiz or the army of Coriantumr. These two armies began to battle against each other, leaving many Jaredites dead on both sides. Coriantumr’s army was eventually pursued to the borders of the seashore by the army of Shiz, and they battled heavily for three dayshttp://scriptures.lds.org/en/search?search=Ether+14%3A26&do=Search. After suffering heavy losses, Shiz withdrew his army and made camp in the land of Corihor. Coriantumr fortified his people in the valley of Shurr and prepared his army for battle on the hill Comnor, where they were met by the army of Shiz and engaged in several bloody battleshttp://scriptures.lds.org/en/search?search=Ether+14%3A28-29&do=Search. During one of these encounters Shiz was able to wound Coriantumr enough that he fainted due to loss of blood and had to be carried off by his own men; Shiz was unable to pursue due to the incredible losses his own army had sustained. http://scriptures.lds.org/en/search?search=Ether+14%3A30-31&do=Search.
== Final Confrontation ==
Coriantumr recovered from his wounds and wrote an epistle to Shiz to stop the bloodshed because two million Jaredites had already been slain. In the epistle, Coriantumr offered to give up his throne in exchange for an immediate end to the warhttp://scriptures.lds.org/en/search?search=Ether+15%3A4&do=Search. Shiz responded in his own epistle stating that he would stop the bloodshed if Coriantumr would allow himself to be slain by Shiz. An agreement could not be reached, and the two sides began warring against each other againhttp://scriptures.lds.org/en/search?search=Ether+15%3A5-6&do=Search. The war culminated at the hill Ramah, where every Jaredite joined in the battle, excluding [[Ether (prophet)|Ether]], The people battled over the course of many days with neither side prevailinghttp://scriptures.lds.org/en/search?search=Ether+15%3A14-16&do=Search. The Jaredite population rapidly declined until the only two surviving Jaredites were Coriantumr and Shiz. After battling for this prolonged period of time, Shiz fainted from the loss of blood, and Coriantumr smote off his head before collapsing himselfhttp://scriptures.lds.org/en/search?search=Ether+15%3A29-32&do=Search.

== Summary ==
Fan and Mortar Geysers are two [[geysers]] in the [[Upper Geyser Basin]] in [[Yellowstone National Park]]. These two [[geysers]], for the past several decades, have always erupted in concert with one another and are generally talked about together. The records detailing these geysers' known eruptive history shows that they have been infrequent and irregular performers.
== Location ==
The two [[geysers]] lie right of the edge of the [[Firehole River]]. Fan and Mortar Geysers are easily viewed from both the bridge and the sidewalk directly leading North to [[Morning Glory Pool]]. This area is just a bit North from [[Riverside Geyser]].
== Description ==
The two [[geysers]] lay on the edge of the [[Firehole River]], just like [[Riverside Geyser]]. However, both of the [[geysers]] are on the same side of the river, unlike Riverside. Mortar consists of the large [[Mortar]]-looking cone on the left. It consists of the vent in the cone, known as Upper Mortar, the vent right below it, known as Lower Mortar, as well as a additional smaller vent to the left of Lower Mortar. Fan consists of at least 7 vents aligned roughly perpendicular to the river. They are known as (starting closest to the river), River Vent(s), High Vent, Gold Vent, Gold 2, Angle Vent, Main Vent, and the East Vent. A numerous assortment of other vents are scattered through the area, as well as one other [[geyser]], close to the [[boardwalk]], known as Spiteful Geyser.
== History ==
Fan and Mortar's effect on the surrounding area, plus the size of their respective cones reveal that they were very active in the past. However, up until 1925, they were essentially two [[geysers]] that were very close to each other as their eruptive patterns were both independent of each other and were nowhere near the power of the [[eruptions]] of today. Some time preceding 1925, the two must have been eventually become connected at some depth and they have since performed as one very large [[geyser]]. Bryan, T. Scott. ''The Geysers of Yellowstone''. Niwot: University Press of Colorado, 2001. 119-120.
== Eruptive Pattern ==
The [[geysers]] follow a series of [[cycles]] prior to erupting. They are:
# A pause in which neither [[geyser]] is splashing,
# Surging in Mortar's lower vent,
# Jetting in three of Fan's vents,
# A return toward Mortar and another pause. Bryan, T. Scott. ''The Geysers of Yellowstone''. Niwot: University Press of Colorado, 2001. 121..
Generally the [[geysers]] are known to erupt during stage three, when Fan is currently splashing, although there have been eruptions that begin with Lower Mortar, and ever rarer: Upper Mortar. The geyser's eruption will become more powerful, eventually when all three main vents become steady eruptions. The eruption generally then begins when the water level in both geysers rises. Fan will show why its name is so deserved, as it erupts out of 7 different vents, creating a wide Fan-shaped jet that reaches heights of over 100 feet, and arcs water up over the [[boardwalk]], landing it 200 feet away from the vent. Mortar, while not as spectacular as Fan, sends jets out of its two main vents up to 50 feet high. Sometimes one vent will dominate the eruption sending a plume of water over 80 feet into the air. The eruption will generally last for around 15 minutes, until it stops, then restarts again, this time fading in power. It does this a few more times, until about 45 minutes have elapsed. It may then enter into a slight steam phase, where the geysers will send out brief puffs of [[steam]] out of their vents.
