    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Police have praised a woman who saved her family from being slaughtered by 
    beating her husband to the draw in a shootout at their family home.</p>
    <p>Troy Christoff threatened to kill his wife, two children and two other family 
    members after waking them up in the early hours of the morning.</p>
    <p>As he stood loading his handgun he called out their names as he placed a 
    bullet into the gun's chamber.</p>
    <p>But his wife Dawn managed to grab her own gun and as he raised his weapon to 
    fire she reacted quicker and shot him several times.</p>
    <p>The 35-year-old and her children were unharmed during the terrifying incident 
    at their home in Winter Haven, Florida.</p>
    <p>Christoff, 34, suffered multiple gunshot wounds to the chest from a 9mm 
    pistol.</p>
    <p>He was airlifted to hospital by helicopter and later transferred to Polk 
    County jail where he was charged with attempted murder.</p>
    <p>According to the arrest warrant Troy had announced to his family that he 
    wanted them dead.</p>
    <p>As he stood loading his gun his wife reached for her own pistol and fired 
    first.</p>
    <p>The arrest warrant said: 'Prior to the shooting, he armed himself with a 
    handgun and began to load the weapon, stating which member of his family each 
    bullet was intended for.'</p>
    <p>Police spokesman Sgt Brad Coleman said Mrs Christoff had acted in 
    self-defence and will not be charged.</p>
    <p>Her husband has prior convictions for assault and drug 
    possession.</p>

<Title>Do you want to see your tuition go up 10%? Yeah, me neither.</Title>
<Tagline>Put Your Paw Down on the Doomsday Budget</Tagline>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Next year, the University System of Maryland could face devastating 
    budget cuts that will compromise the affordability and quality of higher 
    education. Because the Maryland General Assembly
     failed to pass a revenue package to fund the budget, a contingency 
    budget known as the Doomsday Budget will go into effect. This budget makes 
    deep cuts to almost all governm<span>ent spending activity, including funding for UMBC. <br> <br>
     The state must call a special session and agree on passing a 
    responsible revenue package that will restore funding to USM. Before the
     Doomsday Budget was enacted for the next fiscal year, legislators had almost agreed to limit the
     increase of tuition to about 3%. Under the Doomsday Budget, at least 
    38.5 million dollars will be cut from higher education and this will 
    mean at least <em>a 10% increase in tuition.</em> <br> <br> But that’s not all. 
    Since the cuts are so deep, almost all aspects of campus will be 
    impacted.  Professors won’t get a cost of living adjustment on their 
    salaries this year, student fees will climb, food and services will be 
    more expensive and departments will have less money to spend on 
    development.</span><br>
    <br>
    <span>TL;DR? Here are three easy steps you can take to make a huge difference.</span><br>
    <br>
    <strong>Step 1) Make your voice heard - Contact Your Reps!<br></strong>We've
     made it super easy for you to do that, too. The University System of 
    Maryland Office of Governmental Relations has 
    set up a CapWiz e-mail campaign regarding the Doomsday Budget cuts.  The
     emails will be sent to Governor O'Malley, Lt. Gov. Brown, and your 
    representatives to the Senate and the House. Just click the link below 
    and use one of the pre-written messages or type up your own!<br>

    <br>
    <strong>Step 2) Like the Page!<br></strong>Stay updated and connected, and help us show our strength in numbers! <br>
    <a href="http://www.facebook.com/RetrieversForAffordability" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">http://www.facebook.com/RetrieversForAffordability</a><br>
    
    <br>
    <strong>Step 3) Spread the Word!</strong><br>
    Change your profile picture, 
    share the facebook page, or better yet, the capwiz link! We've got you 
    covered on twitter too - just use <em>#retrievers4affordability</em> to tell us what these budget cuts would mean for you. <br>
    
    The more students we get talking about this, the bigger an impact we can have!</div>

<Title>Day Five: Receive the Gift of the Holy Spirit</Title>
<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">
    <p>Acts 2:38-39 (NIV)</p>
    <p>38 Peter replied, “Repent and be baptized, every one of you, in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins. And you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit. 39 The promise is for you and your children and for all who are far off—for all whom the Lord our God will call.”</p>
    <p>Reflection:</p>
    <p>In this passage, Peter gives a powerful, Spirit-filled message that ends with a promise - the gift of the Holy Spirit for each person the Lord calls who turns to the Lord Jesus and surrenders their lives to Him. This same promise is for us today!</p>
    <p>Response:</p>
    <p>With a heart like a little child, let’s turn to the Lord and ask Him for a fresh filling of the Holy Spirit.  May we get caught up in a rhythm of receiving the blessing of His Spirit over and over again in every part of our lives.</p>
