Education: Master of Interior Architecture at UCLA Extension
What is interior architecture?
The discipline of interior architecture is rooted in the idea that the creation of interior space is intrinsically allied to architectural thinking. Interior architecture emphasizes spatial design over stylistic affinities and explores how architectural space can be artfully and practically enhanced for human use.
The Master of Interior Architecture (MIA) professional degree is accredited by the Council for Interior Design Accreditation. The MIA program's primary goal is to give individuals with a bachelor's degree (or higher) the opportunity to pursue a rigorous program of part-time study that prepares them for the field of interior design with the highest standards of professional practice. The program is particularly inviting for career-change students seeking to fulfill a lifelong dream of becoming an interior design professional.
There is no one best formula for producing great design. Interior architecture offers an open framework for individuals interested in both interior design and architecture to explore critical issues that draw on the knowledge bases of both disciplines. Designers need to be exacting, rigorous, analytical, and innovative, as well as flexible, intuitive, collaborative, and playful. Ultimately, they should be committed to improving the quality of life; increasing the productivity; and protecting the health, safety, and welfare of the public.
Start your design career with UCLA Extension Architecture & Interior Design Programs.

Theo Young, an assistant coach at Baylor University, was hired by the Buffalo Bills as a college scout, the team announced.
Young's primary scouting region will include schools in Kansas, Missouri, Iowa, Nebraska, Minnesota and the Dakotas. Young, 46, was defensive line coach at Baylor since 2008. He coached under Bills General Manager Buddy Nix at Tennessee-Chattanooga in 1992. He then moved to Clemson for a year and was at Rice from 1994-2005. He participated in the NFL Minority Coaching Fellowship program at Bills training camp in 1996. He has 21 years of college coaching experience. He played tight end for the Pittsburgh Steelers in 1987 and '88. Young's 12 seasons at Rice were on the staff of Ken Hatfield, who was one of the mentors in Chan Gailey's coaching career. Gailey worked for Hatfield at the Air Force Academy.
College scout Matt Hand has been reassigned to the West Coast and will be responsible for schools in Arizona, California, Nevada, Oregon and Washington. Hand takes over for Rashaan Curry, who was released after the draft. The Bills also announced the addition of Tim Atkins as a football operations assistant. Pete Harris assumed a new title as scouting assistant.

"They would have had to go through the bank drive-through, say they didn't have the account number and show them my driver's license," said Jane. "The person never double-checked the picture. The bank teller then would fill out the deposit slip, put my account number and send it back to them all they would have to do is sign it. And those signatures never even matched mine."
Jane goes on to show us a copy of one of the checks that tellers cashed through the drive-through. She says, "none of the signatures on the deposit slip they signed matched. Looks like they signed it twice. I was told by the bank that the first time they didn't think the signature was mine." She goes on to say, "then the manager came thru looked at the signature, asked them to sign it again, and it's exactly the same and all she (manager) said was that signatures change and still handed over the money."
Even when Jane closed her account and opened a new one, she says tellers still gave out money from her accounts. She says two more checks for $1,900 and $1,800 were cashed at the drive-through, six days after she called the bank to put the fraud alerts on her accounts.
"How hard is it to ask for a password? You put all these security measures in place, thinking your money's safe," said Jane. "Out of seven locations, only one actually asked (for the password) and it scared the person off and they drove away." Jane says her bank told her that when a bank teller in the drive- through accesses a customer's account on their computer, there is a screen that pops up asking for the teller to type in the customer's password. Jane says her bank told her, that the teller can hit a button that bypasses that request.
It took Jane three weeks to finally be able to access her accounts. All of the money that was stolen from her was reimbursed to her by her bank.
Channel 4 did call Jane's bank to get some answers. The bank told us it is still researching Jane's account to get us some answers. Detective Brantley says he thinks bank tellers don't ask a lot of questions because they want to keep their customers happy and don't want to upset someone by questioning their deposits or withdrawals.

Happy Birthday!!!!
I hope it is pain free for you and that the hospital is taking great care of you. If not, maybe those who can should contact the facility to demand your proper care! I get so angry about neglect and less than effective pain management.
There is a clinic in Texas that deals with non-surg cancer tumors and I sent the twitter link, however I don't know if that is even an option. I wish a social worker or some other advocate from the hospital or in the area would help. Glad you got to have a home visit.

On your memorial for this man in Hardin Co. you have made note that he was in Newsom's Cav. Just wondered where your info came from? I can't find him in that reg. I can only find him a Pvt. in Com. K, 20th TN Infantry. On the roll from Sept. 1861 in Com. F discharged and back in Com. K, taken prisoner in Allen Co., Ky, 28 May 1863 and eventually released 26 April 1864. Can not find a discharge or oath. Was he also in Cavalry? I don't find him in those records.

The most commonly encountered centrally acting muscle relaxants include baclofen and cyclobenzaprine. Baclofen is rapidly absorbed orally. The onset of clinical signs of toxicosis may be <30 min to 2 hr following ingestion. The most common signs of toxicosis are vocalization, salivation, vomiting, ataxia, weakness, tremors, shaking, coma, seizures, bradycardia, hypothermia, and blood pressure abnormalities. Cyclobenzaprine, often used in management of acute muscle spasms, is almost completely absorbed after an oral dose, with peak plasma levels in 3–8 hr. It has extensive liver metabolism and undergoes enterohepatic recirculation. The most common signs seen in both dogs and cats include depression and ataxia.
Treatment of muscle relaxant overdose consists of symptomatic and supportive care. Vomiting should be induced if the exposure is recent and no clinical signs are present, followed by administration of activated charcoal. Respiratory support (ie, ventilator) should be provided if needed. Recumbent or comatose animals should be monitored for hypothemia and aspiration. Seizures can be controlled with diazepam. Cyproheptadine (1.1 mg/kg, PO, once or twice every 8 hr) seems to work well for vocalization in dogs. IV fluids should be given as needed.

A 40-year-old Lincoln woman who was given probation after embezzling from a bank has been sentenced to prison for stealing from a marketing company she helped found.
Tammy Schomaker on Tuesday was given three to five years in a Nebraska prison. She'd been convicted of stealing nearly $155,000 from Synerg Marketing between July 2006 and March 19, 2009. Prosecutors say she used bookkeeping software to write checks to herself while pretending they were going to creditors.
The company has since closed.
Judge Karen Flowers noted that Schomaker, also known as Tammy Sigwing, was given federal probation for committing a similar crime and getting $11,000 from a bank in 1996.
Flowers says Schomaker's latest conviction "cries out for a prison sentence, it just does."

CROFTON, Ky. - More than a dozen homes were damaged in Christian County, Kentucky and families had to take cover when strong winds moved into the area.
Fallen trees and downed power lines had to be cut for crews to get through into a small community near Highway 800 and Old Palestine Road in Crofton.
Emergency crews took several calls from residents who said they saw a tornado move through the area.
"We could see stuff flying in circles and we came in [the hall] and lay down on the floor," said one resident.
Several people became trapped in their houses.
"We were in the spare bathroom in the closet - me and my husband and our little baby. We just jumped in there and threw towels and whatever we could find over us as the whole house started shaking," said another resident.
Other houses were completely knocked off their foundations.
Many residents said they were thankful that no one was seriously hurt.
The National Weather Service had not yet confirmed if a tornado had touched down in the area.

We've helped over 100 companies with MDM selection and implementation, and here are the most common challenges that we've seen. Policies that don't balance all stakeholder needs Security is important to the company, but so is user experience. Is it possible to be too secure? The answer is yes, if you don't take into consideration end users and their desire for ease of use with their devices. You could implement policies that make using a mobile device so onerous that people actually become less productive. On the flip side, you could give up too much control to your end users. Balance is the key. Viewing MDM software as commodity Because there are limitations on MDM functionality that are imposed by … Continue reading

Daily Star
---- —
More and more, a smartphone is becoming an important part of life. They've made the jump from geek toy to providing essential functions for "normal" people.
The proliferation of apps, which is short for application programs, which is geek-speak for programs that actually do something for you, has so increased the number of potential uses for a smartphone that almost anyone should be able to find their phone a helpful accessory.
So, along with the standard out-of-the-box functions _ telephone, text messaging, email, music player, still camera and video _ you have a myriad of other things you can use your phone for by adding an app.
Now, there are literally tens of thousands of apps out there for smartphones. I mean it, if you want to peruse the whole Android (my flavor of smartphone) app market, you might want to take a couple of days off from work to do it.
So I thought I might save some of you a little time and mention a few of my favorite apps.
Before that though, I need to mention that you should keep in mind that most apps make use of the Internet, and using data over the Internet can be an issue. Cell companies charge for using data, and the cellphone data situation is changing.
I would say that the days of unlimited data plans are numbered. Cell companies are starting to tighten up the rules on data. If you use a lot of data you are going to pay more. If you don't already, you will at some point have a limit on the amount of data you can use each month. If you go over the limit, your wallet will feel it.
But there is a way to help with the data issue, at least in some circumstances. Almost all smartphones can access data in two ways. First, of course, is by cell signal. The second is by using WiFi, which is the wireless technology that most people have in their homes and offices. You know, the wireless you use with your laptop computer.
So, to limit the use of data over the cell network, you can have your phone connect over a WiFi connection, if it's available.
This can be important to cheapskates like me who have small data plans. For instance, my plan allows me 150 megabytes a month. But with judicious use of WiFi, I have never gone over my limit, so far.
Mind you, I don't use my phone to watch movies, or stream radio all day long. But I do use it for email and several other Internet related things.
So, the first app I am going to mention is called NetCounter.
It's free. Here's what it does.
It runs in the background and keeps a running count of the amount of data that I use on my phone, and it counts the data from the cell network and WiFi separately. So I can open the program and see how much data I've used on the cell network and how much on WiFi.
I figure that I can average 5 megs of data a day and keep under my data limit. NetCounter also keeps a running total per day, week and month, so you can set the date of the month it recycles its count to be the same as the day of the month your cell bill is billed out on, and have a pretty good idea of how you're doing. A great little app.
The next one I recommend is called WiFi Analyzer, also free. You start the program, and it scans for WiFi access points in the immediate area. It shows you the name and strength of the signal. This can be helpful if, like me, you try to connect to WiFi when possible.
You'll find WiFi that you can use in many places, such as friends' and relatives' homes, offices where you go frequently, and some public places. You may have to get an encryption key from whoever is in charge of the access point, but heck, it doesn't hurt to ask, and it might save you some money.
Now for the first app that really does something for you. It's called Radar Now. Yet another free one.
It's probably the app I use most, after email. It simply shows you the weather radar map for wherever you happen to be. Want to know if it's going to rain? Don't need a TV or radio, just open up the app and see the animated map. I see it being a favorite of anyone who works or plays outside.
Related, but kind of complementary, is The Weather Channel app. Yep, it's free, too.
When you first run it, you put in the location, or locations, you're interested in. You can keep track of several different places.
When you start it, it shows you the conditions for the location. Press a different icon and it will give you the hourly forecast for the next several hours, another icon and you get the "today-tonight-tomorrow" forecast, and yet another one will bring up the 10-day forecast.
It will also give you severe weather alerts and has other functions, too.
Once you get used to this app, you're hooked on it.
I have two other apps that I use a lot, and they're both book readers. You'd be surprised at how often you find yourself with a couple minutes to kill. When I do, I whip out my phone and read a few pages.
One is the Kindle app, which does just what you think it would: read books you have on a Kindle account. You might not realize it, but you don't need to actually buy a Kindle to read Kindle books. Actually, there is also a Kindle program for computers, too.
Keeping with my "cheapskate" reputation, you should know that there are a lot of Kindle books that are available for free, and a lot more that are about a buck.
I have another book reader, called Aldiko, which I really like. In this one I read mostly old, out-of-copyright books that are available free on the Internet. Some you can download directly within the program, and some I download separately and transfer into the program.
Both the reader programs are, of course, free.
The last app I am going to mention, as I'm running out of space here, is one that will be of interest mainly to people who use corporate email, and have a company Exchange server. The app is called Touchdown.
An Exchange server is Microsoft's fancy do-it-all program that includes email, contacts, calendar and so forth. It's pretty popular with businesses.
It is really handy to have your phone correctly synchronize all that stuff with your server.
Now, I should mention that Android phones will sync with Exchange natively, and you don't really need a special program to do it.
However, I've found that Android phones are not all created equal in this regard. Some have better interfaces with Exchange than others do. Touchdown is the "great equalizer." It works very well, and does all the Exchange stuff correctly.
So, no matter which version of Android phone you have, if you use Touchdown, things work like they should.
Touchdown is free to try out. It costs $20 to buy and use for ever and ever. But if you use your phone for business, that's a pretty good price for what it does.
That's all for this time. Maybe I'll do some more apps sometime down the road. 'Til next time, be 'appy.

Dan Carter fended off a challenge from Democrat Steven DeMoura yesterday, winning another term representing the 2nd District.
Carter, a Republican, took 68 votes in Newtown, compared to 21 for DeMoura. The district was modified this year and includes a small section of Newtown. It also stretches into Bethel and Danbury.
The original report follows:
With new borders in the 2nd District, this year's race brings in a new constituency from Newtown and, therefore, an added element of uncertainty as to the outcome.
"I'm hearing good things," said Dan Carter, the incumbent running for a second term. Carter was outside the Bethel Municipal Center for hours Tuesday. "I'd like for people to feel politics is something they can be interested in."
Democrat Steven DeMoura is after the seat currently held by Republican Dan Carter in this race that includes portions of Newtown, Danbury, Bethel and Redding. Redistricting this year brought Newtown into the mix.
DeMoura is a lifelong Bethel and Danbury resident who is employed as an attorney at the firm Pinney Payne in Danbury. He serves on Bethel's Board of Assessment Appeals.
On his campaign website, DeMoura states:
"I promise to listen, work and represent you with integrity, energy and passion. I am determined to work hard to control taxes and spending, to create job opportunities for working families and ensure that our children get the education they need to compete in today's global economy."
Carter, who is serving his first term representing the 2nd District, is a health care consultant. He resides in Bethel and is a U.S. Air Force veteran.
In an interview with the Daily Voice, Carter said:
"I've proven I'm the hardest-working guy in politics, but I am new and still have a fresh perspective. I just started this two years ago, and I'm still fighting the same battle. I came in to make changes to get a hold of state spending and reduce taxes, those are the big deals."
Who are you voting for in this race and why?

Mr. Bracegirdle is the awesome author of Fiendish Deeds which is the first of three books in The Joy of Spooking Trilogy. I got chance to read and review the book and I enjoyed it a lot.
The number one question that has been on mind since I started reading Fiendish Deeds is did you purposely make Joy's favorite author's (E.A Peugeot) initials to be the same as Edgar Alan Poe or is that just a coincidence?
There's no such thing as a coincidence, at least that's what people say. I should point out that the lives and histories of these two great masters differ vastly however. They also wrote in different eras, with Peugeot at least 60 years more modern if my quick mental math is correct. They do share much in spirit though, as well as a penchant for wild hair and dark stares.
Are you as big of a fan of horror as Joy is?
I don't think anyone is as big a fan as Joy Wells, but yes, I do consider myself a fan. That said, as the years add on I have become even more a fan of a good night's sleep, and so find myself consuming less and less of the stuff these days. This is especially true of the icky type of horror now being produced, whose one-word titles always seem to reference either a woodworking tool or rest-stop. Why is that? It seems like these people won't be satisfied until they've ruined even such innocent pleasures as chisels and bed-and-breakfasts for everyone…
What is you favorite horror book? Movie?
There are too many books to pick out a favorite, but I think my favorite horror movie might be "Tremors"—it not only has an amazingly creepy premise (not being able to walk on the ground—what could be better?), but is also jam-packed with rollicking action and hilarity. Exactly my cup of tea.
How did you come up with the idea of Fiendish Deeds?
Gosh, I'm really not sure. As a writer you always have a whole slew of ideas sloshing around your head. Eventually, when a few start sticking together, you suddenly become aware of having an actual story worth exploring.
What is your writing environment like?
I wrote most of Fiendish Deeds from a prone position in bed actually. Not because I was so confined with tuberculosis or anything, but rather because no one tends to bother me there. It is also a very expedient place to fit in a sly nap, which is very creatively stimulating, I find.
Unfortunately all that awkward craning forward over the keyboard whilst reclined eventually injured a muscle in my side, and those wonderful days appear to be over. I now write these very words from a desk like every other unhappy sap, sitting on a rather uncomfortable old wooden chair, I might add.
What are Joy and Byron going to be up to on the sequel to Fiendish Deeds? And can you tell us what the title might be?
In the next installment which I have currently down as "INSERT COOL TITLE HERE", Joy and Byron get swept up in some awful goings-on over at Spooking Asylum, the mysterious mental institution that hides behind tall walls nearby. New villains are revealed, old secrets begin to unravel, and Mr. Octavio Phipps is back again with a brand-new scheme to obliterate Spooking.
Will you be writing any other books that do not deal with Joy? If so, what will they be about?
I have an upcoming picture book called THE DEAD FAMILY DIAZ, wherein a little skeleton boy dreads walking among all the hot and squishy living people during Day of the Dead festivities. It will be out in a year or two from Dial Books for Young Readers. I've also got another novel in the works that skews towards an older YA readership that I plan to start on as soon as Joy's adventures are complete, but I want to keep the details a secret for now.
Any advice on how to write a spooky/gothic themed book?
I think the most important advice is to keep developing your characters until they feel completely real. It's impossible to make anyone afraid of what might happen to an imaginary person until they first forget that very fact. Then, once you've done that, remember to say 'boo' at precisely the right moment.
Anything you would like to add?
I've said it before but I will say it again: please buy my book—I am no longer fit for proper work.
-Thank you so much Mr. Bracegirdle for stopping by. It was a pleasure interviewing you and reading your wonderful book. -

Say hello to his little friend... Mr. Mafioso presents lessons learned from the Al Pacino classic Scarface.
There's no better school than the school of life. Mr. Mafioso will be your professor, so take your seats - class is about to begin.
Learn how to go from cafone to capo by mastering the fine art of ball-busting.
It's much simpler to think about being a leader than it is to actually be one. If you really want it, follow Mr. Mafioso's rules
A man should make himself known without looking like a cafone. Mr. Mafioso offers words of wisdom on how to do this.
Let Mr. Mafioso guide you through some valuable life lessons from one of the most graphic gangster movies of all time.
There are some offers you just can't refuse, capisce? Mr. Mafioso explains.
Master the delicate art of betraying the trust of others with another heartfelt lesson from Mr. Mafioso.
Loyalty is at the core of any successful business, especially in Mr. Mafioso's books. Are your employees loyal?
Certain circumstances call for war. Don't be a babbo... find out what Mr. Mafioso has to say about going into battle.
Do you have a rat problem? Find out how to identify and eliminate a traitor before they infest your ranks.
There comes a time to put aside differences and make nice with the enemy. Mr. Mafioso tells you how it's done.
Everyone has something to hide, even tough guys. So learn to keep your yapper shut.
Taking a hit now could lead to greater success in the future. Learn how to win the war by losing a few battles.
Every made man knows that learning to keep your mouth shut is smart. In fact, silence could save your life.
You want respect? Don't blend into the background with the wusses. Walk into a room like you own it and you will.
If you want to play with the big boys, you have to keep the right company. Here's how to make connections with people in high places.
Every so often, you have to do a little waste management within your organization and get rid of the weakest links. Here's how.
Commanding respect when you become the boss isn't as easy as slipping on an Armani suit. Learn how to impose your authority.
Trust is difficult to gain, much more easily lost and almost impossible to win back - almost. These methods might salvage affairs.
Mix friends with business, and things can get pretty brutal pretty quickly. But you can manage it without turning them into enemies.
As much as the Hollywood babbos get wrong, here's a few of the things they got right.
Life is complicated enough without a broad mucking things up for you. Here are the traits that every good goomah should possess.
Look, college boy: There are certain lessons that all the books in the world couldn't teach you. Luckily, Mr. Mafioso can.
The best move you can make in a fight is to stay out of it. Unfortunately, that's not always an option.
Wait to be recognized and you'll wait for a long time. Making a move up is a question of timing and stepping on the right heads and toes.
Don't be a stronzo and do all the dirty work yourself - that's what your henchmen are for. Now go order them around already.
Mr. Mafioso has disposed of his share of used car salesman types. Here's how to handle guys who sport alligator smiles.
Congratulations: You know who your enemies are. But if you don't have eyes in the back of your head, you'll be in for a surprise.
If there's one thing in life that you should never do, it's hesitate. Always be bold and stand up for what you believe in.

Student Union opens 'hasbara' room in effort to fill public diplomacy vacuum.

Gaza's Hamas rulers are battling the IDF — and now facing internal dissension as well, as families start protesting their ruined lives.
Half the population gone at any one time, but residents of Gaza Belt remain strong.
IDF soldiers are fighting in Gaza; Israelis are holding firm as massive rocket fire continues at home.
UNRWA has found a third set of rockets in a one of their schools. We're sure they're shocked.
A radar system might stop mortar attacks, but that doesn't change the truism that "the best defense is a good offense."
"He had a hopped-up 'cycle that took off like a gun/That fool was the terror of Highway 101 – ' from the song "Black Denim Trousers."
This week Doug speaks with David S. Rose, entrepreneur, former angel investor, and founder of Gust.
The Givati Brigade has foiled another attempted infiltration via a tunnel into Israel, killing five terrorists who might have murdered hundreds of Israelis.
PLO officials say 'all' terror factions agree to a 72 cease fire, but rocket fire continues as usual.
Israeli's are a religious people; even secular Jews believe that God is active in this world.
The lights are out again in Gaza, but it's not clear who is responsible this time around. Does it matter?
There's a battle going on for Jerusalem's soul, and Cinema City proves you don't need to compromise on Shabbat or Kashrut to be a success.
The beauty of a Jew is his relationship to other Jews and his involvement with Medinat Yisrael.
Global anti-Semitism is doing the 'Gaza Strip' and unveiling itself, no longer needing an excuse to hide.
A ceasefire not only gives Hamas a victory, it will destroy the morale of the IDF and the country.
While Israelis couldn't sleep in Rishon Lezion, IDF pilots were busy making sure Gaza terrorists were awake Monday night as well.
This is probably the first time in my life I've seen an IDF barber. Who knew we even had them! (Notice he's using an electric shaver!)
Yeshoron Tzoran is the officer who stopped the Arab terrorist near Beitar Ilit who was driving a massive car bomb to his target. Tzoran's quick thinking and action saved hundreds of lives.
Hospital staff at Schneider Children's Hospital in Petach Tikva gathered up the babies and took them to the stairway for protection after a rocket siren went off this morning.
Wouldn't a direct wire transfer from the White House to Pyongyang have saved on the wire transfer fees?

Riverhead Town Supervisor Sean Walter put up with some good-natured teasing on Sunday at the third annual after Southampton Town Supervisor Anna Throne-Holst left him in the dust during the Supervisors' Race, which kicked off the event.
Despite his loss, Walter said this year's event, the third annual Cardboard Boat Race, was "fantastic. There were thousands of people," he said.
Throne-Holst, who is Norwegian, came in first by a wide margin as she navigated her cardboard boat handily for the win.
The heat is on for next year — Walter won last year, and Throne-Holst, the year before.
"The event is a great fundraiser for our communities," Throne-Holst said. "Every year seems to bring more people, more interest — and more fun."
Thousands of spectators crowded the Peconic Riverfront for the popular event.
As for the supervisors' race, Throne-Holst said, "I think it's high time the supervisors of all the East End towns participate."
The supervisor thanked the Flanders Fire Department, and Barbara and Rob Merker, for building her winning vessel, the "Flanders Flame — a real winner," she said.
Walter said this year's event was "fantastic. There were thousands of people," he said.
Only one thing would be sweeter, Walter said. "It would have been better if I won," he joked.

Dealing with the coach ejections and having games terminated due to poor coaching behavior, we feel a need to address this issue. We would like to ensure everyone that we are dealing with these events and will be imposing suspensions and fines in accordance to rules set by ENSA, by Nebraska State Soccer, and by United States Soccer. A plea of ignorance to the policies of ENSA or Nebraska State Soccer, or the Laws of the Game are not sufficient in defending a grievance or grounds for a protest or appeal.
Coaches responsibilities are defined in the ENSA Coach's Handbook.
The most important responsibilities of a youth soccer coach are to provide a SAFE, HEALTHY environment for the practice and play of soccer, and to provide MATURE, ADULT supervision for young athletes.
During games, you share these responsibilities with the referees and opposing coaches. They must at all times supersede any other concern.
During games, the actions and comments of the sidelines have a tremendous impact on the game environment. THE COACH IS RESPONSIBLE FOR HIS SIDELINES. He is to ensure that all comments directed onto the field of play are positive and provide encouragement.
No disrespectful or degrading comments are directed at any participant. Any participant includes the referees, players on the other team, players on one's own team, or even parents to their own children. All participants must treat each other with respect and dignity. Negative comments like "push 'em back", "get your head in the game", etc. do not show respect for others or the spirit and laws of the game. Statements of this nature interfere with the game in an emotional sense just as throwing objects on the field would in a physical sense.
No negative comments about the referee, the accuracy of his decisions, etc. are made. Any concerns about the qualification or performance of a referee are to be directed to your league via the referee assessment section of the game card you are provided, NOT TO EACH OTHER OR THE REFEREE, and NEVER in the presence of young athletes. Coaches do NOT have a right to challenge calls. Remember, dissent with the referee's decisions can cause one's removal from the game and, if necessary, termination of the game.
Anyone assaulting a referee will be subject to the penalties and suspensions as stated in the Nebraska State Soccer Association (NSSA) Rules and Regulations. Verbal harassment or intimidation of any referee under the age of eighteen years of age by any person over the age of seventeen shall constitute an assault.
Reference: www.nebraskastatesoccer.org.
In addition, each team should have received a document in their game packets along with their game cards called BE A ROLE MODEL FOR YOUR PLAYER. This is similar to the Alliance For All that each coach and player must review and sign before participating in any NSSA tournament, Rec Cup, Kohls Cup or State Championships.
Please review all of the information listed below and contact your ENSA representative if you have any questions.
4. Responsibility for Conduct. Unsportsmanlike conduct by any person registered with Nebraska State Soccer or assisting in any soccer activity of any member of Nebraska State Soccer shall be subject to discipline, including fines or suspension, by the Board of Directors of Nebraska State Soccer in such manner as the Board determines.
5. Compliance with Rules and Regulations. Compliance with Rules and Regulations.
a. Clubs shall be responsible for informing and insuring that all of their members (players, parents, coaches, assistant coaches, Board Members, Administrators and etc.) have read, understand and adhere to all policies of Nebraska State Soccer and the rules of the leagues their teams will participate in during the season. A plea of ignorance to the policies of Nebraska State Soccer is not sufficient in defending a grievance or grounds for a protest or appeal.
1. Penalties automatically incurred. A player or team official who has been ordered from the field of play or from the sidelines by the referee shall automatically incur the penalty or penalties for the given offense or offenses as stipulated in these rules. The referee's game report automatically initiates the action against the ejected individual.
9. Misconduct by Coaches, Team Officials and Spectators
First Second Subsequent
Offense Offense Offense
Foul and Abusive Language 1 Game 2 Games 4 Games
Persistent Misconduct 1 2 4
10. Conduct Detrimental to the Good and Welfare. Any player, team official or club officer whose conduct is considered to be detrimental to the good and welfare of soccer shall be suspended for one (1) game for the first offense and for a minimum if two (2) games for the second offense or more within a two year period. Such misconduct shall include but shall not be limited to misbehavior while a spectator; the frequenting, while in uniform or warm-up suit, of an area or a club house where alcoholic beverages are being served; and the consumption of alcoholic beverages in the vicinity of the playing field before, during or after a soccer game.
Excerpts from FIFA Laws of the Game
The authority of the referee
Each match is controlled by a referee who has full authority to enforce the Laws of the Game in connection with the match to which he has been appointed.
Powers and duties
The Referee:
- enforces the Laws of the Game
- controls the match in cooperation with the assistant referees and, where applicable, with the fourth official
- stops, suspends or abandons the match, at his discretion, for any infringements of the Laws
- takes action against team officials who fail to conduct themselves in a responsible manner and may, at his discretion, expel them from the field of play and its immediate surrounds
- provides the appropriate authorities with a match report, which includes information on any disciplinary action taken against players and/or team officials and any other incidents that occurred before, during or after the match
Direct free kick
A direct free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following seven offences in a manner considered by the referee to be careless, reckless or using excessive force:
- kicks or attempts to kick an opponent
- trips or attempts to trip an opponent
- jumps at an opponent
- charges an opponent
- strikes or attempts to strike an opponent
- pushes an opponent
- tackles an opponent
A direct free kick is also awarded to the opposing team if a player commits any of the following three offenses:
- holds an opponent
- spits at an opponent
- handles the ball deliberately (except for the goalkeeper within his own penalty area)
A direct free kick is taken from the place where the offence occurred (see Law 13 - Position of free kick).
Penalty kick
A penalty kick is awarded if any of the above ten offences is committed by a player inside his own penalty area, irrespective of the position of the ball, provided it is in play.
Indirect free kick
An indirect free kick is awarded to the opposing team if a goalkeeper, inside his own penalty area, commits any of the following four offences:
- controls the ball with his hands for more than six seconds before releasing it from his possession
- touches the ball again with his hands after he has released it from his possession and before it has touched another player
- touches the ball with his hands after it has been deliberately kicked to him by a team-mate
- touches the ball with his hands after he has received it directly from a throw-in taken by a team-mate
An indirect free kick is also awarded to the opposing team if, in the opinion of the referee, a player:
- plays in a dangerous manner
- impedes the progress of an opponent
- prevents the goalkeeper from releasing the ball from his hands
- commits any other offence, not previously mentioned in Law 12, for which play is stopped to caution or send off a player
The indirect free kick is taken from the place where the offence occurred (see Law 13 - Position of free kick).
Disciplinary sanctions
The yellow card is used to communicate that a player, substitute or substituted player has been cautioned.
The red card is used to communicate that a player, substitute or substituted player has been sent off.
Only a player, substitute or substituted player may be shown the red or yellow card.
The referee has the authority to take disciplinary sanctions from the moment he enters the field of play until he leaves the field of play after the final whistle.
A player who commits a cautionable or sending-off offense, either on or off the field of play, whether directed towards an opponent, a team-mate, the referee, an assistant referee or any other person, is disciplined according to the nature of the offense committed.

Boise State coach Chris Petersen and quarterback Grant Hedrick said leading up to Saturdays game against Wyoming that Matt Miller needed the ball more.
Mission accomplished.
Miller, on pace for multiple school records, wasnt going to be down for long.
In the Broncos 48-7 hammering of the Cowboys, he had seven catches, with career-bests of 143 yards and three TDs.
Every time I threw it up there, he was coming down with it. It was pretty cool, Hedrick said.
Including the Broncos last game, Nov. 2 at Colorado State, Miller has 13 catches for 239 yards and five touchdowns in two November games.
In October, Miller had 12 catches for 116 yards and did not score a touchdown in three games. Only once in his career, in November of his freshman year, did Miller have fewer catches in a three-game span (11).
I was kind of getting a little frustrated for a while, Miller said Wednesday.
Hedrick, on the same day, speaking of Miller, said he needs to get more touches.
On Saturday, Hedrick found the Montana native early and often.
All five of Millers first-half catches went for first downs, one on a third-and-7, and another on a fourth-and-6 on a play before he caught a 14-yard touchdown pass with 49 seconds to go in the first quarter.
Millers second score, the 20th of his career, came on a spectacular play in the second quarter that put the Broncos up 28-7.
As Hedrick cocked back and threw deep downfield, the pass was a bit short. Miller adjusted, and Wyoming cornerback Blair Burns impeded Millers path to the ball. The pass, with Miller reaching over Burns shoulders, was tipped into the air, and Miller was able to get under it, facing little resistance for the last few yards of a 48-yard TD with 10:14 to go in the first half.
It was a terrible ball, but he went up and made a great play, Hedrick said.
Miller now sits in the top 10 in three major receiving categories in Boise States record book. His 188 career receptions are fourth, his 21 TD catches are tied for seventh and his 2,191 receiving yards are ninth.

Iowa's drought situation will end the month more or less the way it began, despite several significant winter storms.
The entire state remains in drought in one form or another. Less than 0.03 percent of Iowa is in the abnormally dry stage, the lowest tracked by the U.S. Drought Monitor. Most of the state (54.35 percent) is in severe drought.
That's not the case for southeastern Iowa, though. Southeast Iowa is in moderate drought. It's not much comfort for farmers, but things are not as bad as in northwestern Iowa, where areas remain under exceptional drought conditions.
February's snowfall has done little to recharge soil moisture levels. Frozen ground absorbs little moisture. So having a blanket of snow means the ground is surrounded by water it can't use.
But that could change in the coming weeks. Average temperatures in southern Iowa are up to 40 degree highs. While those haven't been hit routinely yet, the warming trend with spring will continue.
As that takes place, the ground will open up to moisture. There's no guarantee of continuing precipitation, but at least the soil will be better positioned to take advantage of what falls.

A new promotional spot will appear on San Antonio Telemundo affiliate KVDA.
San Antonio, TX (PRWEB) July 02, 2014
With the recent release of a new 30-second promotional spot on San Antonio Telemundo affiliate KVDA, Alamo Travel Group has begun a new initiative to highlight the buying power of Hispanics in the travel sector.
According to Alamo Travel Group CEO Pat Stout, We have been in conversations with our partners at the American Express Travel Services Network for over two years discussing the need for Spanish language marketing and collateral to address the needs of the Hispanic consumer. With this new initiative, we will quantify the purchasing power of the Hispanic consumer to the travel industry.
The new television commercial will appear on KVDA TV 60 during key programs for three weeks, according to Luis F. Hernández, president of Telemundo San Antonio.
We are always glad to team with our friends at Alamo Travel and share their interest in demonstrating to corporate leaders that the Hispanic consumer is a viable and dynamic market, said Hernández.
With the opening and closing line of With one call, you are transported to paradise, the spot promotes Alamo Travel as a one-stop shop for the Hispanic travel consumer looking for a great resort or other vacation destination.
Stout is clearly in a unique position to have the confidence to make this business move. As CEO of the largest Hispanic and woman-owned travel management company in Texas, she has three decades of experience marketing travel services to a diverse client base including major corporations and the federal government.
There has been a perception in the travel sector that the Hispanic consumer does not invest their disposable income in travel services, and particularly resort destinations, Stout said. We know from our day to day experience serving our clients that this perception is not the reality, and we intend to educate our partners about the advantages of marketing to the Hispanic and Spanish-speaking consumers in North America.
For more information or to schedule an interview with Pat Stout, please contact Mary Jo Salas at msalas(at)alamotravel(dot)com or 210-593-0084.

MCR / Maxxis Tire's Beau Baron Wins WORCS Glen Helen MX
Bonsall, CA – MCR/Maxxis Tire's Beau Baron was unstoppable at
round number seven of the 2011 WORCS series as he charged his way tothe top of the podium for the pro class win, which has allowed him to stayin the running for the pro points championship, while teammate, DavidHaagsma had a great race after grabbing the holeshot, and taking a top fivefinish.
Glen Helen was the hosting facility for this round with good weather and agreat track laid out for racers. Many tracks this season have opted out ofhaving a Pro or WORCS X section, but Glen Helen was more than happy toaccommodate, which is exactly what Beau Baron was hoping for. "I lovetechnical tracks and that's where I do best so I was pretty happy with thecourse at Glen Helen," stated Baron.
Beau Baron takes first winIt was crucial for Baron to win this round or he would be eliminated fromof the season at Glen Helenany chance at the pro championship, so Baron was in top form and chargedoff the start in the top five. Baron made his way into third where he stayed for five laps before making hismove. Baron passed teammate David Haagsma and then chased down points leader Jeremie Warnia. "Itwas a little bit of an aggressive pass, but I had to do whatever it took to get out front," said Baron.
Baron was charging hard, but at the halfway point, he would have to stop. "I was out front and there was aPro-am guy, Grant Mitchell, in front of me and he ended up flipping over right in front of me and gettingpinned under his quad. He was yelling for help so I couldn't just leave him there so I stopped and tried toget him out, but it was pretty tough. Then Josh Frederick caught up and I asked him to help and we wereboth able to get him out. We both made sure he was ok and clear of the track before we took off again.Josh is a good guy and I have to give props for stopping to help," said Baron.
Despite the temporary stop, Baron would hold on to his lead andtake it all the way to the checkered flag for the pro class win."I'm really glad to take that win and I'm hoping I can take it tothe final round, and with a little luck, maybe win achampionship," said Baron.
Baron will need to win the final two rounds of the season if he isto take the championship, but the team is trying to stay focusedand concentrate on each race. "We are excited that Beau is stillin the championship points race. We have been in this positionbefore so we are just going to take it one race at a time for now,"said team manager, Mike Cafro.
Maxxis' #549 Beau Baron
MCR/Maxxis Tire's David Haagsma had a great race as well. Haagsma grabbed the holeshot and led forthe first lap. Haagsma battled it out with Jeremie Warnia, who would eventually get by, but Haagsma heldstrong and was in second place until the final lap when he came under fire from veteran racer, DustinNelson. Haagsma and Nelson battled hard and connected at one point, which put Haagsma back to fourthplace. Haagsma held on for fourth at the checkered flag. Haagsma is currently fifth in pro points andcould move into fourth before the end of the season if luck is on his side.
MCR / Maxxis' 422 David Haagsma grabbed the Pro Holeshot
MCR/Maxxis Tire's Julie Russell took the Women's A class win once again and is only one more winaway from securing the Women's A championship.
