I agree with others who noted that if this were to be prepared with the amount of water called for it would be soupy mush. Zucchini and yellow squash already contain a lot of water, so to add any is really unnecessary. So I eliminated the water altogether, added a clove of minced garlic and some sliced mushrooms, and cooked this just until done but still retaining its shape. It turned out beautifully and the bacon was a flavorful addition. Five stars just by skipping the water!
This squash has wonderful flavor. I used pre-cooked bacon pieces and sauteed them with the onions in a tablespoon of olive oil. I also reduced the water to one cup so that it wasn't so "soupy." The squash was great over pasta and then topped with marinara sauce. A good way to give squash some flavor without all the fat of the typical squash casserole.
Had a large Easter Dinner, but the big hit with the family was the easiest to make, Your recipe for "Stewed Squash" It really was delicious. I've made it before for my husband & he loved it..Now its a family recipe..Thanks

|2010, 2nd round, 20th pick by Steelers
Wallace signs tender; Steelers activate Harrison, Worilds
The Steelers announced that WR Mike Wallace signed his free-agent tender and LBs James Harrison and Jason Worilds were activated from the PUP list.
Steelers' Worilds could have bright future
Second-year Steelers OLB Jason Worilds has shown intriguing potential in his second NFL season.
Steelers likely keeping enviable status quo at OLB
With the Steelers placing the franchise tag on LOLB LaMarr Woodley, they will likely retain one of their more important — and younger — defensive starters.

The 49ers have claimed LB Thaddeus Gibson off waivers, according to multiple reports. The Steelers released their fourth-round draft pick on Saturday.

Steelers sign second-rounder Worilds
The Steelers announced the signing of LB Jason Worilds, their second-round draft pick from the 2010 draft, on Friday. Financial terms of the four-year deal were not disclosed.
Colts see Welker-like qualities in Giguere
The Colts believe speedy WR Sam Giguere might win the kickoff-return job in 2010, according to our Whispers, and eventually become a dangerous slot receiver in the mold of the Patriots' Wes Welker.

Video Nasty is a term coined in the United Kingdom in 1982, describing films that were criticized by the press and religious groups for their violent content. The concern being that with titles available on home video, the films were accessible by anyone, with no age restrictions. The lack of a censorship system for home video titles led to The Video Recordings Act 1984. The Video Recordings Act required stricter censorship standards for titles released to home video than what was required for a film's theatrical release.
With the introduction of home video in the UK, the governing standard of decency was the obscene publications act of 1959. Under that act, any title found to be indecent by the Director of Public Prosecutions could find the film's producers, distributors and retailers subject to prosecution. The act also allowed for local police to seize content from video retailers if they felt that the material was in violation of the act.
With such loose standards for prosecution and seizure in place, The Video Retailer's Association asked The Department of Public Prosecutions for a list of titles likely to be confiscated. In response, The DPP provided a list of titles that already had charges pending against the film's distributors or had resulted in successful prosecutions. The list became known as The DPP list of video nasties.
Some of the entries on the video nasty list are true horror film classics and some are merely cheap trash cinema. All of the titles represent mass hysteria and censorship at its worst. We will now take a fond trip down memory lane and revisit five video nasties that are close to our heart.
I Spit on Your Grave (Day of the Woman)
I Spit on Your Grave was classified as a video nasty in July of 1983. It is currently available in the UK in truncated form, with nearly three minutes cut from the infamous rape scene. It's no surprise that this rape/revenge tale made the list. I Spit on Your Grave features castration, graphic depiction of gang rape, buckets of blood, and an outrageous amount of nudity. I Spit on Your Grave wears its depravity like a badge of honor. The film was marketed as being based on a true story, but more accurately, part of the film is kind of loosely inspired by a single event that actually happened. The film's creator, Meir Zarchi witnessed a woman stumbling out of the bushes in a public park. When he approached her, he learned that she had been raped by a group of men. Zarchi took the woman to the police and was appalled by the manner in which the officers treated her. The film is essentially his reimagining of how he might have liked to see the men punished for their wrong doings. However, none of the revenge sequences are based on actual events.
The Last House on the Left
The Last House on the Left was banned in July 1983. It didn't receive an uncut United Kingdom release until 2008 when it was finally distributed in all of its gory glory. Something I've always thought noteworthy about The Last House on the Left is that it's produced by Sean S. Cunningham of Friday The 13th fame. Yet, it seems that the average horror fan doesn't know that. The Last House on the Left deserves (if you can say deserves) much of the credit for pioneering the rape/revenge sub-genre. It doesn't take a genius to figure out how The Last House on the Left wound up on the video nasties list. It's loaded with violence, features an absolutely horrifying rape scene, and lots of exposed nipples.
Visiting Hours
This 1982 film was classified as a video nasty in September 1984, but dropped from the list just two months later in November 1984. The current UK DVD version is still missing 1 minute and ten seconds that were originally censored from the X rated theatrical release in 1982. Though its tenure as a video nasty was short, Visiting Hours boasts plenty of violence and disturbing imagery. The film pits misogyny against feminism and the results aren't bad. Director Jean-Claude Lord has his 'final girl' up against a woman-hating psychopath in this pseudo slasher film. The unusual thing about Visiting Hours is that Lee Grant was in her fifties when she portrayed the film's heroin, Deborah Ballin. She was twice the age of most of the leading ladies of horror at the time, but her turn in the film proved that there is no age requirement for taking on the role of scream queen.
Night Train Murders
This Italian exploitation film was rejected for a theatrical release in 1976 as Late Night Trains. A cut version of Late Night Trains was released in 1981 with a subsequent uncut version being released the same year. The uncut version was listed as a video nasty but the status was dropped in March of 1984. The uncut DVD version of Night Train Murders was made available to UK audiences in 2008. Night Train Murders is noteworthy for many reasons, not the least of which is that Eli Roth cites it as inspiration for the train scene in Hostel II. It's also worth mentioning that it it garnered criticism for its similarities to fellow video nasty, The Last House on the Left. Distributors used that controversy to their advantage, with the tagline "You can tell yourself it's only a movie… But it won't help." Though, not a tale originating from entirely original ideas, I rather enjoy Night Train Murders. It's classic Italian exploitation cinema, complete with bad acting and horrible dubbing. It's loaded with violence and explores sexual perversions and fetishism in with vigor.
Evil Dead
Evil Dead's theatrical release was censored by the British Board of Film Classification, with the home video release of the film being banned, all together. Evil Dead was eventually dropped from the list of video nasties in 1985. It's easy to see why the Sam Raimi classic made the list. With what some may consider tasteless 'rape vine' scene, rampant gore, and occult overtones, the Director of Public Prosecutions had plenty to take issue with. Evil Dead deserves major credit for its role as a founding father of the 'cabin in the woods' sub genre. The much anticipated remake hits theaters April 13th 2012. Having been on the set, I can safely say that it will do justice to the original where gore is concerned. It was nearly impossible to find any area of the set that wasn't coated in stage blood. One of the reasons director, Fede Alvarez, chose to shoot the film sequentially was to preserve the continuity of the blood spatter.

Without the advantage (or contamination) of listening to other instant analysts, I gave the debate to Vice President Joe Biden on style and on the substance of economic and tax policy.
Rehearsed or not, his exasperation with Rep. Paul Ryan's posturing was engaging, not overbearing, and he checked the "47%" and "don't voucherize Medicare" boxes. With some aid from the moderator, he pounced on Ryan for teasing the voters about which tax breaks Mitt Romney would eliminate to offset his tax cuts.

The first one was bad enough, I won't see #2 or this, it looks terrible.
Ron dislikes a film = go out and buy it.
Ron loves a film = don't even rent.
What didn't you like about the first one?
I was too tired to comment on the third last night, but I really like it. It was just as sharp as the first one, and had a very simply straight forward plot, unlike the second one. Everyone was back (Minus the women - It isn't their fight ;)) with a few new faces. Great sound, great picture, great acting. Wasn't over the top witty like the other's, but that made it all the more sharper for me.
If you enjoyed the first one, you will love this one. But, if you were like Ron, and hated the first one, you'll probably want to pass here :)
Overall, a great movie and will be added to my collection as soon as it hits DVD.

Springfield, Mass. - November 25, 2008 - Freshman Kelly Murphy stole the ball at midcourt and sank a lay-up with 55 seconds left to break a tie and lift the Springfield College women's basketball team to a 73-68 victory over Williams College tonight at Springfield's Blake Arena. With the win, the Pride is now 3-2, while Williams falls to 1-3.
It was a terrific game as both teams mounted spurts during the game. Williams led by as many as seven in the early going -- 18-11 with 10:25 remaining -- while Springfield led by as many as 11 later on in that same half, 39-28 with 1:13 left.
Springfield was led by senior forward Corey Finch (Hanover, Pa.) with 17 points and 13 rebounds. Senior center Lauren O'Connor (Valhalla, N.Y.) followed with 16 points and 12 rebounds. The Pride had one other player finish in double figures, sophomore guard Rachelle Walker (Lee, Mass.) with 15 points, three rebounds, and two assists. Freshman guard Megan Cavanaugh (Lowell, Mass.) had nine points (seven in the first half) and eight rebounds, while Murphy, a freshman from Mechanicville, N.Y., had eight points and a team-high four steals.
Williams, which trailed most of the game until it tied it at 65-all with 3:33 left on a jumper by freshman guard Kelsey Ham (Bozeman, Mont.), was led by sophomore forward Chessie Jackson (Goleta, Calif.) with 15 points, followed by sophomore forward/guard Jessica Harris (Cortlandt Manor, N.Y.) with 13 (and a team-high 10 rebounds), and senior guard Mika Peterman (Los Altos, Calif.) and freshman guard Jill Greenburg (Westwood, Mass.) with 12 points each.
Springfield jumped out to a 7-3 lead when O'Connor made a lay-up with 15:19 left in the first half. But the Ephs then put together a 15-4 run, culminated by a Peterman 3-pointer, to give Williams its largest lead of the game (18-11) with 10:25 left. Williams led 20-14 when SC scored 11 straight points to take a 25-20 edge. From there, Springfield would hold the lead until the late stages, including a 39-33 advantage at halftime.
In the second stanza, Springfield would lead by as many as 10 (45-35) with 18:09 left on a lay-up by Murphy. From there, SC led anywhere from four to eight points until a Peterman 3-pointer with 6:33 left cut the margin to three, 62-59. A 3-pointer by Jackson with 5:08 left cut it to one (63-62). After Ham tied it at 65-all, Walker made two free throws, giving SC a 67-65 lead with 3:14 left. But Harris would tie it once again on two free throws for the Ephs with 2:14 left. Each team had two opportunities to take command, but could not convert. Peterman came up with a steal with 1:10 left, giving Williams the advantage.
But this is where Murphy picked a pocket at midcourt, and drove the length of the floor for the key bucket of the game. There were 55 seconds left. Following a missed shot by Peterman with 44 seconds left, Murphy was fouled. She went to the line and made the second of two free throws to give SC a three-point edge (70-67) with 37 seconds left. With 29 seconds left, Peterman attempted a 3-pointer that would have tied it, but she missed with O'Connor pulling down the key rebound. Cavanaugh then made two free throws with 23 seconds remaining to put SC up by five (72-67). Greenburg added one free throw with 17 seconds left for the Ephs, and Walker matched that with a free throw with 11 seconds left to seal it.
Springfield shot .438 from the field (28-for-64), while Williams shot .329 (23-for-70). Williams shot just .250 from 3-point range (6-for-24). Springfield enjoyed a 50-38 advantage on the boards, but Williams forced 23 turnovers, while committing only 16. Greenburg finished with a game-high seven steals. She also had five assists. Finch led SC in the assist category with five.
Springfield is now off until next Tuesday (Dec. 2), when it hosts Western Connecticut State at 7:00 pm.

I know people have different feelings on the following(especially the cardio), But I just wanted to see how some of you would respond.
Avoid Building Muscle The Wrong Way! Part 1
By Vince DelMonte
How would you feel if you discovered that almost everything you were doing with building muscle was dead wrong? Imagine all the time, money and effort you have spent in the gym was contributing to building muscle the wrong way! Everything you have read on building muscle has left you with little to show for your hard earned efforts...
There are dozens of muscle building mistakes that we all fall victim to which results in bringing you progress to a complete halt. Don't be too hard on yourself, because like all things in life, building muscle is a learning process. That does not mean you must forfeit years of personal trail and error when we can learn the mistakes of seasoned trainers who walked before us.
Here are the first three biggest and baddest ways to building muscle the wrong way. Erase these mistakes from your thought process and you will be one step closer to earning beach body worthy status:
Building Muscle The Wrong Way #1 Skipping Out On Your Cardio...
Before you disagree take note that I was once a long distance triathlon and running champion so my cardiovascular standards and perceptions of 'fit' are much higher than your local trainers or expert bodybuilding author. It drives me crazy when I hear fitness experts preaching that weight training is just as good for keeping your heart and lungs in prime condition. Who are they kidding?
Weight training, designed for bodybuilding, is almost useless for stimulating your cardiovascular system. Bodybuilding style weight training for your cardio is just about as good as spending the day playing video games. Sure, I know your leg training workouts and super sets make you feel like you sprinted up the street for 100 m but this is far cry from a optimal cardio system.
Do not buy into the latest fad that cardio will kill any chance of building muscle. Cardio must be in your program even if your goal is maximal muscle gain and you are the skinniest of skinny. Aerobics plays a vital role in building muscle and has been shown to speed up recovery from weight training by transporting oxygen and blood flow to the muscles.
The circulatory system is developed because more oxygen is pushed through your blood resulting in a greater number and size of blood vessels. Since there is a greater cardiovascular density of blood vessels, your circulatory system has more 'supply routes' to shuttle oxygen and nutrients to the body tissues, including muscles, and shuttle away waste products that can slow muscle growth, repair and recovery. In the end, this means you will create a more optimal environment for building muscle!
Building Muscle The Wrong Way #2 Overtraining The Biceps And Triceps
Interestingly, every time I 'm at my gym, I see small and weak dudes spending a full hour doing every bicep and tricep exercise imaginable. They do set-after-set, week-after-week with nothing to show but the same skinny noodle arms. What they fail to realize is that for maximum muscle growth and strength, the biceps and triceps require very little direct stimulation!Do me a favour and take a close close at the size of your thigh. Now compare the size of your thigh to the size of your bicep. Does it make sense to spend the same amount of time training arms versus your legs when your legs are over 4x as big? Of course not! Now compare the overall size of your back to the overall size of your arms. Now compare the size of your overall chest to the size of your overall arms. You should now realize that a larger muscle group should be trained differently than a smaller muscle group.
Focus the majority of your training on the large muscle groups that is chest, back, shoulders and legs. Focus on increasing the strength and size in these big muscle groups and rest assured, building muscle in your arms will become easier.
Now hear me out. I'm not saying that direct arm training is a waste. I'm simply leading you to discover that less is often more when training small muscle groups such as your bi's and tri's.
Building Muscle The Wrong Way #3 Not Focusing On Getting Stronger
I can't count how many times I have down a fitness consultation with a young new trainee and bring up the idea of including a strength cycle early in the program and he instantly fires back, "But I don't care about how much I can lift, I just want to get ripped and muscular."I'll bet any money that you would do almost anything for a set of sleeve-stretching set of arms. Any money that you would do almost anything for a pair of bulging biceps and rock-hard triceps!
I get his short attention span back by stating, "Building muscle will almost always follow if you simply focus on getting stronger, I mean getting really stronger." Unfortunately, training to get stronger seems to no longer be apart of the average trainees training regime.
Since the fitness industry has become more commercialized with balls, balance pads, fancy selectorized equipment and ridiculous infomercials, people have neglected the necessary time building requirements to build a solid foundation for long term success. Including bodybuilders.
Consider that the stronger you become the more sets and reps you will be able to lift for more specialized movements. The better your technique. The faster your recovery. The longer and harder you will be able to train. And rest assured, when you get stronger from week to week, the muscle mass will follow!
Don't believe me? Next time you go to your gym check out who the biggest guys are. Don't be surprised if they are also the strongest. Have you ever seen anybody will a small frame who can deadlift four plates, squat three plates, bench press two plates or curl 1 plate (per side respectively)
I didn't think so.
The intent and advice is good for the most part but some of the reasonings and analogies are flawed. Also, I would have put "Not Eating Enough" as one of the Top 3 ways of building muscle the "wrong way".
The part about training to get stronger is good, but then again, I've seen plenty of small framed guys who can DL well over 4 plates per side, squat well over 3 pps, and bench well over 2 pps. It's called CNS adaptation and movement specificity. Plenty of small powerlifters can easily surpass those numbers without getting huge. The fact is that you also have to EAT BIG TO GET BIG. That was never mentioned.

"Most people don't want to learn new things. They only want to hear about things that validate crap they're already doing." - Mike Boyle
Even though you pretty much pointed out the obvious, it's so often you get basic questions like these asked on the message boards that a little reinforcement will go a long way. Excellent article!
Edit: I do think, as Guido said, that diet should be the top priority in that list. The great majority of plateaus that you see posted are a result of "hyponutrition" and many aspiring body builders will think that supplements alone can get them to the top.

With my 22" arms...I could have 88" legs...wow.
But seriously, I think this is a pretty good article. Cardio is great to be fit...you can be strong, muscular, lean and not fit. Although him saying lifting and video games is equilavilent for your vascular system...I would pay money to make him do our routines.
Obviously weight training wont provide the same cardiovascular stimulation as running a triatholon. But thats not to say that different techniques with weights will not keep your heart healthy. Maybe the author never tried 20 rep squats It brings the same oxygen into play as mentioned above.

Generally, if you read a piece of advice on the internet, assume it's wrong until proven otherwise. This applies especially to "conventional wisdom". -Belial

PLATTSBURGH — Three people were charged with possession of cocaine Thursday.
On Route 3 in the Town of Plattsburgh, State Police stopped a 2007 Chevrolet Cobalt and found the occupants of the vehicle to be in possession of about three ounces of cocaine, State Police said in a news release.
Chantel M. Courson, 22, and Lorraine E. Emmons, 23, both of Massena, and Paul C. Williams, 30, of Brooklyn were each charged with third-degree criminal possession of a controlled substance, a felony.
Williams was additionally charged with second-degree criminal impersonation for initially providing State Police with false identification, police said.
Courson, who was driving the sedan, was issued a traffic ticket for failing to signal for a lane change, police said.
Courson, Williams and Emmons were arraigned in Plattsburgh Town Court and were sent to the Clinton County Jail in lieu of $20,000 bail or $40,000 bond for each of them.

Cosmetic surgery, both surgical and non-surgical, is an extremely lucrative business. Many doctors use aggressive marketing tactics to obtain clients and persuade them to undergo pricey procedures, sometimes without any regard to prior medical history or existing health conditions. In order to cash in on this booming market, many doctors and nurses who lack the necessary specialized training or certification are also performing cosmetic procedures in their offices, without access to the appropriate emergency medical care. Because most of these procedures are not covered by health insurance, this practice area is generally free from managed care restrictions and oversight. It is important to know that each procedure carries potential risks if performed by untrained, inexperienced or negligent doctors and nurses.
These are just a few examples. The best way to understand if you were a victim of plastic surgery malpractice is to contact us. You may be entitled to compensation. You can do that by completing the form for a free legal consultation or by calling the phone number listed on this page.

A local Dj drew up this plan for population control and it has caused debate where i live going on for two years now. What does people other than where i live think about it. I for one think it is stupid and too Big Brother
Does he have technical white papers on the technology behind this "chip"?
That does not even account for the huge hurdles involved with implanting technology in humans (this was demonstrated by a prof at uni).
No just some theroy that he came up with.Originally Posted by GonePostal
Chip? The guy has been watching to much sci-fi. I am for manadatory birth control for people well fare. What to do with the savages around the world though? Fortunately lack of medicine, food and civil wars help us there.
Savages? I don't want to make assumptions, so please explain.Originally Posted by Berserker

Excel Index UL is flexible premium equity indexed universal life insurance policy issued by Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. in most states, and issued in New York by Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. of New York. It is designed to offer you life insurance protection, growth potential linked to a portion of the gains in the S&P 500 Index and a guaranteed interest rate that protects your policy values from market loss.
Excel Index UL can provide affordable protection for your family or business. The death benefit is payable to beneficiaries tax free to help meet the needs of those you leave behind.
Excel Index UL offers growth potential by providing you two ways to allocate your money:
The participation accounts offer the potential for growth, depending on the performance of the S&P 500 Index. If the S&P 500 Index increases, excess interest above the guaranteed interest will be credited at the end of the 12 month Index Period.
Any earnings grow on a tax-deferred basis so your money can work for you over the long term. You can use the funds to pay for college expenses or to supplement your retirement income.
Withdrawals and loans will reduce available death benefit and policy value. Withdrawals beyond basis may be taxable income. Excessive and unpaid loans will reduce death benefits and policy value and may cause the policy to lapse.
Even if the S&P 500 Index is flat or declines, your Excel Index UL policy will not lose money. Instead, a guaranteed interest rate of 2% is credited to your account value, even when the market falls. Guarantees depend on the claims-paying ability of the issuing company.
A variety of riders and features gives you the flexibility to structure your Excel Index UL policy to meet your unique financial needs.
Your insurance or financial professional can provide more information and can assist you in obtaining Excel Index UL to help meet your needs. For more information see our product brochure.
In approved states, Excel Index UL (form 3009) is issued by Ameritas Life Insurance Corp. Policy and riders may vary and may not be available in all states.

Toyota Camry Hybrid Audio & Entertainment Questions
ssmith7 Posts: 1On my '08 TCH with the basic package, I was playing a CD and noticed that the display showed random, broken-looking characters. I can use the buttons to change tracks, etc., but I have no read-out. This has happened three times in the past year and eventually the display returns to normal. Before I take it to the dealer, has anyone else seen this or does anyone have a recommendation about what to do?
I have an IPOD connected to my 2009 TCH. I bought a connector that inserts into the connector in that liftup door under then radio. In the back on the bottom is a place to insert the IPOD connector. The connection I bought also connect to the 12 volt cigarette lighter type connector in there too. So my IPOD plays and charges when connected. You have to put the station selector on AUX to play then IPOD. It's pretty simple and fairly obvious how to connect it
jonken Posts: 1We bought a 2011 Camry Hybrid in 2010. From day one I complained about the AM reception around the L.A. area. Big stations' signals would fade out or get "noisy" and thereby un-listenable driving round town. Toyota headquarters said "no problems reported blah blah blah".
Frequently I would drive up and down I-5. A BIG Fresno station could be heard for about 100 miles and then would fade.
My wife bought a 2011 Prius. The first time we drove the Prius on I-5 we could listen to that same station for several hours - over a distance of 250 miles or more. WOW!
Still, Toyota led me to believe that I was the oooooonly one complaining about the radio in my $29,000. car which, otherwise, we looooove.
In July the on-off knob mechanism broke. My extended warranty covered the replacement of a new radio (probably a re-manufactured item). I was hoping that I would get better reception . . . no such luck. The replacement radio's performance is just as terrible as the original :-(
Am I really thaaaaaat special that I got the Camry with a bad radio? Help ! ! !

A conservative group is hoping that tens of thousands turn out to show their support for gun ownership with their pocketbooks and picket signs the day before President Barack Obama is sworn in for a second term.
The group, a coalition brought together for the event, declared Jan. 19 "Gun Appreciation Day." The hope is Americans nationwide will show their support for gun ownership by turning out en masse at gun stores, ranges and shows from coast to coast.
Will you participate? Tell us in the comments section below.
"The Obama administration has shown that it is more than willing to trample the Constitution to impose its dictates upon the American people," said Gun Appreciation Day chairman Larry Ward in a press release.
The day comes as the gun control debate becomes more divisive. This past week, two PA lawmakers released statements about sponsoring legislation that would allow teachers to carry guns in schools, in response to December's mass shooting at Sandy Hook Elementary in Newtown, CT.
In the past year, several high-profile mass shootings -- including one in a Colorado movie theater and one at a Wisconsin Sikh Temple -- sparked the gun control debate. According to a New York Times article, Obama called for Vice President Joe Biden to head a gun control task force.
The "Appreciation Day" is modeled after this past summer's " the answer to a boycott of the fast food chain after CEO Dan Cathy declared his support of what he termed "traditional marriage." According to ABC News, Chick-Fil-A posted record-setting sales during the "Appreciation Day."
Gun Appreciation Day is scheduled the day before Obama's second inauguration.
The planned event currently includes the following coalition members:
- Second Amendment Foundation
- Citizens Committee for the Right to Keep and Bear Arms
- Special Operations Speaks
- Revolution PAC
- Citizens and Country
- Social Security Institute
- Committee to Draft Judge Andrew Napolitano
- Conservative Action Alerts
- Women Warriors PAC
- Conservative Action Fund

Staff Report
For the first time in several years, Parker County fans will not have a direct link of interest in the decisions to be handed down at the University Interscholastic League football state football championships, but there are a couple of teams of note in the final draw nonetheless.
From Millsap's District 6-2A, Division II, Corsicana Mildred (13-1) has climbed the brackets to the pinnacle contest, and will take on undefeated East Bernard on the first day of the 3-day football extravaganza featured Thursday through Saturday at Cowboys Stadium.
The Class 2A, Division II title will be played at 8 p.m., the final game of the day.
Denton Guyer, who handed Aledo its first postseason loss in four years is also in the mix for a title shot. The Wildcats jumped off to an early advantage over the Bearcats in the area round and never gave up the lead. Led by talented quarterback Jerrod Heard, Guyer has since continued its success through postseason, edging past Tyler in the semifinal in a 57-53 high-scoring thriller.
Guyer (13-2) faces Georgetown (15-0) on Saturday, who has yet to experience a serious challenge in the brackets. The two will meet in the first game on Saturday, at Noon.

Mariah Dermody is captain of the Orange County competition cheer squad, and the lone four-year varsity starter.
"Mariah is a very easy going person," said 25-year coach Laurie Jamerson. "She gets along well with everybody, is non-judgmental and always willing to help out with new girls on the squad."
The Hornets senior has helped guide the team to place in the Jefferson District competition each of the last three seasons. This year, the team will make their debut in the Triple-A competition at Brooke Point High School on October 26.
"The hardest part is definitely getting the team to work together and agree on things," said the 2011 captain. "But I really love when the routine comes together and just looks really good."
Mariah is also involved in student government, National Honor Society, and was selected to attend Leadership on the Lawn at UVa. In addition to her willingness to support her teammates, Mariah developed the BUDDY Club at Orange County High School which helps middle school students prepare for the graduation to senior high.
"It definitely helps them with the transition, said Mariah, who currently mentors a seventh grade girl. "I remember going from middle school to high school, it was a pretty drastic change. It's kind of nice to already have someone already there for you that knows the ropes, just to give you some advice."
Mariah is also a regular volunteer at St. Thomas Episcopal Church.
Some people focus on what's important for them and Mariah doesn't do that, she looks at others around her."

I was dead for thirty seconds.
That's what the cop in Fall River told me.
When the EMTs found me, there was a needle in my arm and a packet of heroin in the front seat.
At basketball-crazy Durfee High School in Fall River, Massachusetts, junior guard Chris Herren carried his family's and the city's dreams on his skinny frame. His grandfather, father, and older brother had created their own sports legends in a declining city; he was the last, best hope for a career beyond the shuttered mills and factories. Herren was heavily recruited by major universities, chosen as a McDonald's All-American, featured in a Sports Illustrated cover story, and at just seventeen years old became the central figure in Fall River Dreams, an acclaimed book about the 1994 Durfee team's quest for the state championship.
Leaving Fall River for college, Herren starred on Jerry Tarkanian's Fresno State Bulldogs team of talented misfits, which included future NBA players as well as future convicted felons. His gritty, tattooed, hip-hop persona drew the ire of rival fans and more national attention: Rolling Stone profiled him, 60 Minutes interviewed him, and the Denver Nuggets drafted him. When the Boston Celtics acquired his contract, he lived the dream of every Massachusetts kid—but off the court Herren was secretly crumbling, as his alcohol and drug use escalated and his life spiraled out of control.
Twenty years later, Chris Herren was married to his high-school sweetheart, the father of three young children, and a heroin junkie. His basketball career was over, consumed by addictions; he had no job, no skills, and was a sadly familiar figure to those in Fall River who remembered him as a boy, now prowling the streets he once ruled, looking for a fix. One day, for a time he cannot remember, he would die.
In his own words, Chris Herren tells how he nearly lost everything and everyone he loved, and how he found a way back to life. Powerful, honest, and dramatic, Basketball Junkie is a remarkable memoir, harrowing in its descent, and heartening in its return.

VACUU·LAN® - modern laboratory vacuum supply through local networks
Many applications in chemistry such as separation, drying, distillation, filtration, etc. are conducted under vacuum. So chemical laboratories, both in universities and in industry alike, need a vacuum supply. This must meet the application based, technical requirements regarding pumping speed and ultimate vacuum and frequently also the controllability of these parameters. In addition consideration must also be given to space restrictions, ecological and economic criteria. These constraints mean that it is not always possible to have the technically best solution i.e. each application with a separate pump. Local area vacuum networks offer the most balanced solution in these circumstances. However achieving a fully functional, economic and customer-oriented solution, requires a useful selection, of the appropriate components. VACUU•LAN®, the third generation of VACUUBRAND local area vacuum network, fulfils these requirements outstandingly. An important element is the chemistry non return valve, which is integrated into the basic elements and acts against the cross interference of individual applications and which operates even with small pressure differentials. To the basic element can be added a wide range of flexible, modular components such as manual control valves, an electromagnetic chemistry valve for vacuum regulation with a vacuum CONTROLLER, gauges, T-connectors and so on.
Performance features:
- better quality vacuum provided by a small, local pump
- Individual ports can be controlled electronically, offering different vacuum conditions at applications on the same network.
- High flexibility: should a need for vacuum arise later, the VACUULAN® network can be installed quickly and easily when and where needed.
- The modularity of the network technology can save on capital and operating costs compared with central vacuum
- Demand-responsive operation can save 70 to 90 percent of the energy associated with he 24/7 operation typical of central vacuum systems

An Organization has Culturesby Robert F. Smith
Much as a country or a region of the world can be said to have a culture, with recognizable characteristics, an organization has a culture.
If it has functional specialist groups and different geographic locations, each of them will have its own culture that is a sub-culture of the whole - influenced by the whole and influencing the whole. The principle holds true for even further sub-groupings.
An organization's people are the "keepers of the culture." They also can be "molders of the culture."
What are the dimensions of a culture? How can one be described? Culture is the implicit, informal, potent system of "norms" in an enterprise. It is assessed best in terms of actual behaviors of real people.
"Culture gaps" exist in varying degrees between these actual behaviors and the behaviors desired by the organization's members. The latter desired behaviors would reflect the values explicitly adopted by the enterprise.
Even informally, culture starts with values that show through what people do...like the conversational observation, "Around here you count on people to keep their commitments."
Culture has to do with how we do things in our group and sub-groups. For example:
Culture surfaces as an organization's personality. For example, are we relaxed and open or are we up-tight and secretive. Do we give credit to others, accept blame when it's ours to accept...or are we self-centered and defensive.
Are there myths that we enjoy perpetuating as color elements in our culture?
As an organization, are we leaders or followers? Are we agile and adaptive or are we set in our ways and slow to modify as outside circumstances demand change.
This is not all there is to culture. But hopefully it is a start to understanding how we can describe the one we have in order to determine the characteristics of the one we want.

Date: 10/9/2000
Title: Anderson University just keeps growing
With 100 more students than last year -- and the biggest freshmen class in the school's history -- Anderson University just keeps on growing. "We're very happy," said Michael Collette, vice president for enrollment management and information systems. "This is a very exciting year here at Anderson University." In 1996, 2,136 students were enrolled at AU. This year, that number climbed to 2,382, with the highest increase in the advanced degree completion program.
"This is the largest enrollment in the history of the institution," Collette said. Enrollment has been increasing for the past four years, and it is a trend that's not expected to wane anytime soon.
"We're projecting a growth of about 2 percent per year over the next five years in the undergraduate program," Collette said.
Collette said he attributes the rise in enrollment to a number of factors, including the university's strong recruitment and retention efforts, along with the expansion and enhancement of non-traditional learning programs.
"Clearly the institution has developed a much stronger image, both regionally and nationally," he said. "We've become respected for having a strong academic program, a program with quality and rigor.
"We also have a very dynamic admission team that is both experienced and energetic. They do a good job of recruiting students."
Freshman Steve Redder is a product of those efforts.
The 18-year-old scholar from Phoenix, Ariz., graduated from high school last May and immediately set his sights on attending the small, Christian college.
He first heard about AU two years ago when a guidance counselor visited his hometown church. He poked around Arizona schools but didn't find what he was looking for.
"I wanted a Christian environment," he said. "Everyone here has religious education or is a good Christian."
Collette said that's definitely at the heart of the university's mission.
"This is a very dynamic Christian environment, an environment that encourages academic inquiry and discovery," he said.
But not all students are lured to AU for its religious affiliation.
"I picked AU for football," said Mike Reynolds, a freshmen business management major.
"But now that I'm up here, I like it more for the school. Everything I was looking for, I found here."
Reynolds said he benefits from the smaller class size and the one-on-one interaction with the faculty.
"The teachers care about you. They're concerned," he said. "You get more attention than you would get in a state school, where there are 500 people in a class."
The low student-to-faculty ratio is undoubtedly one of the university's top priorities. To accommodate for the growing student body, AU is continually adding to the full-time teaching staff, Collette said.
"We're trying to keep the faculty-to-student ratio low," he said, noting that it strives for 13 students to every one faculty member.
Furthermore, most of those faculty members have earned doctorates and are devoted solely to teaching. "We're not a research institution.
We're a teaching institution," he said. "That means that the faculty is in the classroom full time."
As for tuition prices, they've annually increased 4 percent over the past few years. This year, students paid $14,680. Collette said administrators have not discussed next year's tuition, but for many students, it doesn't make a difference. Their AU experience is worth the cost.
"It's worth it. You get a nice experience, and you get your money's worth of education," Reynolds said. "I love it up here."

I'm going through my mail, paying bills like we all do, and I open some bills I have never seen before. It's a bill for 1,763.89….WTF… it is for, Beat Box, four of them. Little mini speakers that you can attach to any ipad, iPhone, MPs, laptops, computers kindles, almost anything. I went crazy! I walked from room to room to see what all my little darlings were doing. Everyone was on a cellphone. They were all in their rooms with the TV's on, the computers & laptops on, playing video games. The top of my head was on fire…I exploded! And that is not the worst part of it. The cable bill was over $500.00 dollars from all the movies they rented.
Then I walk downstairs and one of my little one's is at the door holding my wallet to pay a pizza guy.....I sent the pizza guy away, went from room to room taking anything electronic. I rented a mini storage container, and it's now in my driveway filled with all the electronics.
What I would like to do is have a yard sale and sell it all. I left one TV, and it's in the living room. And I closed the pool….NO swimming either. I know there are lots of moms and dads on this site that can so relate to my major melt down. Plus when I pulled in the garage, I noticed a new bicycle that I didn't buy. At this point I don't know what I will or won't give back to them. It is way too easy for kids to sit at a computer and purchase merchandise. Now that I have calmed down, I feel like I'm the monster. Fear moms & dads, Have you had a major melt down like this? Or I'm I the only crazy one?????
