Most of the 40,000 annual visitors to Soudan Underground Mine State Park no doubt steer toward the mine headframe, which rises over the town of Soudan like a steel-girdered water tower, minus its tank. It is the most visible landmark around, and it holds an elevator that lowers park visitors 2,341 feet beneath the surface of northern Minnesota to examine the remnants of the state's first iron mine.
In days gone by, the "cage" carried miners into the darkness below, where they chipped and blasted iron ore from beneath a ridge on the south shore of Lake Vermilion. Now its passengers are tourists and the scientists who work below in the Soudan Underground Laboratory managed by the University of Minnesota.
The Soudan mine became a state park in 1963, after U.S. Steel donated its property to the state. The 1,100-acre park has picnic spots and hiking trails, but the big draw is the mine -- the first iron ore mine in the state, which was also the first mine that operated underground rather than in an open pit. The bottom of the mine shaft is the closest a tourist can get to the center of the earth in the whole state of Minnesota.

Tales of an Old Soudan Miner
Retired Soudan mine employee Herb Noreen, interviewed by Tom Rukavina for an oral history project on September 8, 1983, talks about:His father, who started in the mine in 1894
His own experiences in the mine
On this hot August day, I'll be a first-timer touring the iron mine. But before we go underground, park manager Jim Essig and I climb into his pickup truck for a short drive. Essig wants me to understand the lay of the land.
We head for the lake, just over the hill from the headframe and mine shaft. Down a winding road to the shore, we come upon dozens of tin sheds built by miners, mostly in the 1920s, to house their fishing boats. Linked shoulder to shoulder, these boathouses are weather-worn but still in use by local families. They have been added to the National Register of Historic Places, and the surrounding Soudan Underground Mine State Park has been deemed a National Historic Landmark -- two salutes to miners and the work that was done here.
From the lakeshore, we hop back in Essig's truck and he steers up the hill, driving less than a half-mile before he pulls to the side of the road and takes me to a rock outcrop protruding from grasses and sandy soil. Thin layers of banded jasper in shades of gray and red spill out from the earth in waves frozen in time for 2.7 billion years.
The patterns at our feet are the meshed work of ancient volcanoes, ancient seas, and the earth's shifting plates. Millions of years before humans began to clock the ages, volcanoes laid down layers of molten lava, which oozed over deposits of iron-rich sediment at the bottom of the sea. While the rock was still pliable, the earth shifted and shifted again, until it had turned the layers of iron-rich sediment into solidified waves.
The fact that this particular outcrop is so ancient and stunning makes it a star in the world of geology. A gang of scientists from Mississippi State University has been visiting recently to inspect it. And a film crew from the Discovery Channel just finished shooting here for a documentary on banded jasper (a stone prized for its beauty).
Of course, not everyone in the region's history has been wowed by Soudan's banded iron. In fact, the first miners to come to Lake Vermilion in the 1860s ignored it. They headed for the lake looking for gold. For a short time, a relatively intense gold fever ensued. But by 1870, all the stakes had been pulled as prospectors discovered that the gold existed in quantities too minute to mine with any semblance of profit.
The real mining boom came a few years later, ignited by a Pennsylvania attorney and land speculator named Charlemagne Tower, who sent a geology professor in his employ to the wilds of Minnesota to confirm claims that an abundance of iron ore was to be had in the Lake Vermilion area. Tower subsequently invested in property here and financed the railroad needed to haul iron to Lake Superior bound for steel mills in the East. Then he brought in a crew of mostly Cornish miners from the iron districts of the Upper Peninsula in Michigan. By 1882 these workers had begun the hard, dangerous work of mining the iron ore.
Soudan -- the mine, and eventually the town -- got the name from the first superintendent of mining in the 1880s. With tongue in cheek, he compared winters in the region to those of Sudan in north-central Africa.
The hills along the main park road are pockmarked with more than a dozen pits -- evidence of the first efforts to work the ore here in the 1880s. Today the pits form small, rocky canyons, partially hidden by woods.
Miners dug the pits with picks, shovels, hand drills, and blasting powder. Teams of three miners would head into the holes. The one with the least experience would hold a star bit -- basically a rod with a sharpened end -- and trust that his two more experienced partners, taking turns with hammers, would not miss in their labors.
This was how work was done here at Soudan in the first iron ore mine in Minnesota, which would become the biggest iron ore producing state in the nation. The Vermilion Iron Range would turn out to be a mite compared to the giant Mesabi. But the ore pulled from Soudan had the distinction of being the highest grade ore in the state and some of the highest grade in the world.
Unlike the expansive, terraced, open-pit mines of the Mesabi range, the quarries at Soudan show no evidence of heavy machinery at work. They are small at the surface and angled toward the veins of iron. The deeper the miners dug, the more dangerous the work. As they steered toward the ore, they would blast and dig under overhanging rock, which always threatened to come tumbling down. Deaths from these collapsing overhangs likely prompted the decision to make the Soudan an underground mine.
As the underground mine went deeper and the operation grew, the number of miners expanded. The original Cornish workers were joined by a potpourri of ethnic groups, which poured into the Iron Range at the turn of the 20th century.
The buildings that currently stand alongside the mine headframe were constructed around 1900. The visitor center was once the changing area for the miners. Today it holds a gift shop, a theater that plays a film on the historic mine operations, and a counter -- where I pick up my hard hat for a trip into the mine.
Railroad tracks run beneath a rock crusher nearby. The crusher turned large chunks of iron ore into smaller pieces for the steel mills. The sound of ore being pulverized was so loud and constant in the community that when the mine shut down in 1962, townspeople described the silence as like the stopping of a beating heart.
To the west of the headframe, a brick engine house holds the electric hoist used to raise and lower the cage elevator. Allen Kosir, a 29-year veteran of the park and the nephew of an underground miner (many of the park employees have mining backgrounds), operates the cage from a raised chair that faces a giant drum that unwinds and winds cable to raise and lower the cages. When the machinery needs repair, the maintenance staff usually makes the replacement parts. As Essig explains, "If you have a broken piece from a 1924 Allis Chalmers hoist, you can't just go down to the hardware store and replace it."
As we begin our descent, the cage gives a little rock and shimmy. It runs on tracks angled toward the ore deposit. All seven or eight of us take a deep breath as the cage picks up speed. When it was a working mine, the Soudan had the reputation of being the "Cadillac of mining operations" because of its safety. The rock here is so hard and so sturdy that the mine didn't require any wooden beams to prop up the walls and ceiling.
Two and a half minutes later, we get off on the 27th level, the deepest mining location at Soudan. Off in each direction are long tunnels called drifts. To the left of the elevator is the University of Minnesota lab, a large space filled with modern gadgetry that looks a bit incongruous in this historic place.
A set of tracks and mining carts are here as well. We climb into cars constructed for the tour and head three-quarters of a mile down the drift. We stop beside winding stairs that lead to the stope, the working area of the mine. Here the miners hammered away at the ceiling -- called the back of the mine -- letting gravity help as much as possible in getting the heavy ore to the mining carts, which carried the chunks of ore back to the shaft.
Our tour guide gives a brief history of underground mining technique, highlighting the ingenuity, the courage, and the physical toughness of the men who plied their trade here. The first miners here worked under the light of candles mounted on their helmets. They pounded away at the toughest ore in the state and were paid pennies on the ton for their labor.
To give a better sense of their surroundings, the guide dims the lights for a moment, and the darkness is absolute.
As we reverse our steps and head back to the cage, I'm surprised to realize how quickly I've adapted to the mine setting. I can appreciate what the miners did to build this mine, and what the state park is doing to preserve the memory of their work. Still, miner or tourist, it feels good to rise some 2,000 feet into the sunlight on a summer day.

"BANNED: Night at the Museum" will be an evening of great live music, with opportunities to create and experience art. Nationally-recognized Beaumont band Mad Maude & the Hatters will lead the Mad Hatter's Tea Party inside the Museum's lobby, filling the Museum with an eclectic mix of doo-wop, Motown and their signature three-part harmonies. Visitors can join the party and will be invited to create their own whimsical hat, fascinator hairpiece, or bowtie during the evening.
Professional artist and bookbinder Tony Vela will be on hand to demonstrate the paper marbling process and engage visitors in collaborative art-making. Using special tools and materials, visitors will be able to float paint on the surface of a water solution and create unique designs, which can then be printed and taken home.
Inside the Museum, visitors will have the opportunity to see the special exhibition "Tales and Travels." This exhibition reveals artists and authors behind the vivid images, featured first-edition books, and written travel accounts. It showcases objects from the Stark Museum of Art, The W.H. Stark House and the Stark Foundation Archives. In the exhibition, visitors may add their own drawings and create Model Magic wax seals. Spotlight tours highlighting historically-banned books on view will take place every 15 minutes, as attendees will be encouraged to discover beloved books that may have been banned in the past.
All Museum galleries will be open for viewing, and visitors are invited to participate in a text message scavenger hunt throughout the Museum to win a prize.
Hors d'oeuvres and soft drinks will be served at the event and are included with admission. Wine and beer will also be available at a cash-only bar.
General admission is $10 per person. Admission for named members at the SCV Individual, Dual/Couple, and Family Membership levels is $8. Admission is free for named SCV members at the Star and Crescent Moon levels. Membership cards must be presented at the door along with I.D. for discounted or free entry by named members.
"'Night at the Museum' offers visitors ages 21 and older the chance to get to know the Museum and connect with art during an after-hours event," says Jennifer Restauri, Educator for Studio and Family Programs. "Whether you're a college student, a young professional or young at heart, we encourage you to come out and enjoy live music, create art with a professional artist, and leave with an artwork that you will be proud to frame and display."

Howard County Executive Ken Ulman is reminding parents this week that they can take specific action to prevent identity theft by freezing their child's credit report. As of January 1, 2013, the Maryland Child Identity Lock bill, passed by the Maryland General Assembly in 2012, allows parents to freeze the credit report of a minor prohibiting the credit agencies from releasing information to potential creditors, even if they do not already have a credit record.
"Identity theft of minors is becoming more prevalent and is a problem because it often is not realized until the child is much older and needs to establish credit," said Ulman. "Fortunately, this Maryland law makes it easy to protect our children. Just contact the credit agencies and place this freeze on their credit report."
Howard County also is taking the opportunity during National Consumer Protection Week between March 3 and 9, 2013 to educate residents about other safeguards for your child's identity, the warning signs of a stolen identity, and what you need to do if you think your child's identity has been stolen. For more information, see www.howardcountymd.gov/childidtheft.pdf.

No Jail Time for 1st Defendant in Champion Case
Oct 22, 2012 | WMFE - Monday in Orlando former Florida A&M University band member Brian Jones received a sentence of 200 hours community service and two years probation after pleading no contest to third degree felony charges.
Jones avoided time in jail, but will still be monitored closely. He will spend six months under community control which requires regular check-ins with probation officers and restricts his movements.
The judge noted that 23 year old Jones played a minor role in drum major Robert Champion's death, and that Jones did not hit or beat Champion.
Champion died in Orlando in November of 2011 following the FAMU band's participation in the final game of their football season.
He joined a band hazing ritual on a bus rented for game where he was beaten by band members.
A dozen other defendants in the case are expected to go to trial next year.

The 2009 Triumph Thruxton is typically classified as a classic motorcycle, while the manufacturer describes the Thruxton model as a ""cafe racer."" What does that mean? Well, if you are looking for a super bike that takes full advantage of Triumph's reputation for powerful, fast bikes that tend to attract sirens behind you, then the Thruxton is not for you. The Triumph Rocket or Speed Triple may better suit your needs. If you want a bike that takes you on dirt roads to your hunting cabin, the Thruxton is not for you, but the Triumph Tiger is your bike. However, if you are a more casual motorcyclist who gets your bike out on weekends for a relaxing ride down Pacific Coast Highway, or to cruise around reminiscing about the golden age of Mods versus Rockers, then the Thruxton is the perfect motorcycle for you.
Named after a famous motorcycle race track in the 1960s where Triumph bikes once dominated, the Thruxton's name and design evoke a pure retro feel. The 2009 Triumph Thruxton looks like a 1960s era cafe racer, complete with analog instrument dials. With clean, classic lines, the Thruxton pays homage to Triumph's long tradition of producing high-quality motorcycles with a lot of heritage appeal. Few companies can boast a list of "cool" customers the way Triumph can, as James Dean, Marlon Brando, and Steve McQueen all rode Triumph motorcycles. The 2009 Triumph Thruxton conjures up images of those days of cafe racing lore, but with modern performance components.
The Thruxton's 68 hp and 51 lb-ft of torque might not seem like much, especially when compared to some of Triumph's other offerings. But compared to other bikes labeled cafe racers, the Thruxton's 865cc, parallel-twin engine furnishes the rider with plenty of power. With a top speed of 119 mph, the Thruxton can definitely put the race in cafe racer, at least compared to most other bikes in its class.
Even though it looks like an old-fashioned carburetor, Triumph introduced sequential multiport electronic fuel injection (EFI) for the 2009 Thruxton. This grants the Thruxton rider a reliable modern solution, while still maintaining the classic look. The transmission is typical of Triumph, a smooth shifting, five-speed gearbox with a multi-plate wet clutch.
The tubular steel cradle frame supplies a sufficiently retro look for the Thruxton's sturdy chassis. Performing admirably along both curved roads and highways, the Thruxton rider can expect a stable ride. A 41mm fork suspension with adjustable preload in front and twin spring shocks with adjustable preload in the rear assist the chassis in giving the Thruxton owner a smooth and comfortable ride. The somewhat narrow tires (100/90 x 18 in front and 130/80 x 17 for the rear) keep the Thruxton nimble and maneuverable. If you are concerned about stopping power, modern disc brakes in front and in the rear ensure the Triumph Thruxton can slow and stop more efficiently than a vintage 1960s cafe racing bike.
Cafe racers have usually been customized by their owners, as ""modding"" your cafe racer was part of the 1960s culture. Triumph offers many Thruxton-specific accessories including chrome parts, but there are also many ways a motorcycle tinkerer can modify his Triumph Thruxton, be it for increased performance or individual aesthetics. Whether you are a young motorcyclist looking for a casual, fun ride, or a decades-long rider who remembers the glory days of cafe racers, the 2009 Triumph Thruxton might be just the bike for you.

Henrik Ibsens superb, riveting drama about the conflict between the individuals conscience and the material well-being of a community seems astoundingly modern considering our contemporary debates on the value (and dangers) of fracking and the Keystone XL pipeline. A play that has been turned into a number of movies, inspired adaptations (including one by Arthur Miller), and is even said to have been the inspiration for the movie, Jaws, An Enemy of the People is certain to challenge us while speaking directly to an America torn between democratic and libertarian sensibilities.

BANGALORE FASHION WEEKJanuary 25th, 2011
The Bangalore second season of the (revamped) Chivas Studio, imbibing the brand's core standards of excited comfort and featuring an diverse prepare of some of the most fashionable and avant-garde events, was held during the weekend.
The famous designer Rohit BAL showcasing his collection in the first day itself
BAL presented his recent collection titled 'Khakastari', which is inspired by the Persian work 'khakastari' meaning colors of ash. Just like ash, the gathering insisted effortlessness and clarity with a distinct minimalism in collaboration with subtle luminosity of Swarovski crystals.
The effortlessness of monochromatic colors and slight shapes were a fantasy to the past while the collection concurrently skimmed through moment and bespoke a global and timeless language. At the final sequence, models donning the creations that glorified the splendor, grandeur and luxury of the Indian couture splashed into the pool.
Krishnamachari's work unbreakable by a 'here and now' thoughtful and alertness of modern society, rented naturally from various disciplines, including literature, plan, and time periods.

For veterans, the prospect of returning from a war zone and re-integrating into society back home has always posed many challenges – especially when many returning vets were shamefully shunned when returning from Vietnam, and now as veterans of the War on Terror in Iraq and Afghanistan have returned to a struggling economy.
That makes the mission of the new Gloucester-based Global War on Terror Veterans Coalition all the more important as it seeks to steer local veterans toward services while tackling issues like the high suicide and unemployment rates that have, sadly, become more and more prevalent in recent years.
And we can only hope that the coalition's first "open house," planned for Saturday at Gloucester's Office of Veterans Services on Emerson Avenue, draws and reaches veterans who can make the most of the school and job counseling opportunities being offered.
Indeed, it would be nice to think that Saturday's program — with representatives of Salem State University, North Shore Community College, the Lowell regional veterans center, the state Department of Veterans Service, a local veterans employment representative from Lynn, and more — could become a regular, perhaps quarterly service as more and more of our troops from Gloucester and Cape Ann's towns return after serving and protecting us, both on overseas and domestic fronts. That would solidify and spread the word about this coalition, which has been created "by veterans, for veterans," as Gloucester attorney and Vietnam veteran Mark Nestor put it, with an eye toward addressing these issues on an ongoing basis.
All of our veterans, from the remaining World War II survivors through those who served in Korea, Vietnam and El Salvador, deserve our thanks, and an accessibility to the kinds of services they need.
But those needs have become especially acute for veterans of more recent military operations, and those returning from the War on Terror — in all its incarnations — have not generally caught on with traditional veterans groups such as the Veterans of Foreign Wars and the American Legion, and have seemed more prone to falling through the cracks of veterans services.
Our thanks and congratulations thus go out to coalition organizers like Nestor, Gloucester Veterans Agent Richard Barbato, Gloucester Army Cpl. Sebastian Mutchler and others for pulling together Saturday's event, which runs from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m., with time afterward for workshops and veterans' questions.
May it be just the first step in a new series of homecoming events providing our veterans with the information and access to services they so richly deserve.

Alright, I've decided to start another sketchbook cause all of my peers are 1-upping me right now. Anyway, went to Montreal and learned a shit-ton. Marko helped me to realize how bad my anatomy was. Quote, "your anatomy kind of sucks," love Marko. But I've been studying, and hopefully now that I'm aware of this I'll be able to correct myself as I go. Anyway, crit this shit. I'll throw in some color work along the way. Penis enlargement coupons at the bottom of the page. Cheers.

At the workshop I was hesistant to sit and draw and paint. I'm pretty sure I would have missed out on all of the lectures... Anyway here's a portrait of Carnifex. 20 minutes

heyyyy you....
great new images... i wouldnt even post or even look at the old sketches from last semester this is a new! DAY! the more you look at the past the more its mistakes will haunt you... nice improvement on the landscapes! using photos is a proven worthy technique... whats up with that abstract stuff... what are you turning into some artsy freak! (jus like your future roomate (me))
i think your main issue is that you were a noodler back in freshman year and prior to that. and its miss-leading you... you need to keep in mind of the whole compisition at once... or the whole figure at once us basic shapes and keep erasing until its perfect... be very loose with your drawings! FLOW LIKE WATER! it seems as though you spend too much time in certian areas but neglect the piece as a whole... start basic and quick and sketchy.... a good example is the that face you did from abstract shapes... BAM! thats awsome because you allow it to flow from the canvas! (ill hafta explain some other time if you dont understand)
yeah i agree your figures still need help... look for inspiration and draw FROM LIFE... or pictures... and keep on keep'n on .....its some HOTT SHIIIT

Well said roomie. You didn't know me as a freshman, and the term "noodler" is an understatement, haha. I've realized this all too well after Montreal. Anyway, I'll post some more sketches that I think show improvement at the end of the week, along with my LMS piece. BTW, we have to talk furniture soon.

Great stuff here! I especially like your studies..and your last one (in july 14th post). keep it up!
fuck'n ballz. Who knew that images had to be RGB to be read on the web? (Actually, that kind of makes sense, hehe)
here are the images finally. Any crits would be appreciated.
Here's another dump of work. Been drawing at the natural history museum, studying anatomies and textures of animals. Very static drawing, but helpful.

My pet Cow/A work in progress/Approximately 5 hours
Sweet updates man! One crit, I'd round out the lighting a little more on the LMS's torso a bit. Other that than, I dig it.
Ksama: Thanks for the support man! I've been checkin' out your enviro's. They're getting better. Keep at it. Work both from life and your mind and you'll see tremendous results!
MrBobMarley: Thanks brother. I gotta fix some things in the LMS piece, so when I do I'll try getting reference for the torso. You're probably right about the lighting.
Here's this weeks cow!
Good TD!!, good designs! I also like how you are doing the pencil shading
really smoth and nice, keep updating, pure respect for
the hard work your are doing!!!
Critique: it seems to me that you do your heads to small
and you feet slightly too big, it might be a good a idea
to keep that in mind for the next life drawing and
human caracter designs.
Great progress! I can see the problem with anatomy, that being too long legs, and too small a head/shoulder-part has been worked on! I can however see it recurring in this second last post with the naked woman. Great handling of the pencil when it comes to lines and good as fa as values are concerned. Keep it up!
No pain, no gain.
good stuff !!
nothing more to add than keep on sharing and producing
cheers !
Maxometer: Thanks Max! Your comments are greatly appreciated. Yeah, I constantly battle head sizes, and the large feet was just recently pointed out by my figure drawing teacher. It's kind of embarassing .
Kaktuzlime: Thanks bra'! Actually those figure drawings are actually six months old. I guess I should have posted them earlier. But yeah, tiny heads.
Hurricane: Thanks!
I'm going to try to do the weekly C.O.W's and E.O.W.'s. They're alot of fun. I encourage critiques of them. Thanks guys.
Maybe there's hope for this thread yet .
Here's some new stuff. Mostly doodles, some C.O.W. sketches, and a few leg studies. Can't wait to get back to school, I've got some great idea's for projects. Just need to get motivated . Anyway, here is the shabooty.
C.O.W. sketches
I think the guy on the bottom right is what I'm going with
More C.O.W. sketches
Paused silence of the lambs for 20 minutes to do this sketch

New figures reveal extent of 'unexpected' deaths at East Lancashire hospitals (From Blackburn Citizen)

New figures reveal extent of 'unexpected' deaths at East Lancashire hospitals
3:00pm Saturday 27th July 2013 in News
NEW figures, released through a Freedom of Information request, show the number of deaths at East Lancashire's hospitals was 26 per cent 'above expected' for weekend admissions last year, compared to 13 per cent 'above expected' for weekdays.
It comes as East Lancashire's hospitals find themselves in the 'impossible situation' of having to recruit more staff while making savings of £85 million.
A long-awaited NHS report, which made wide-ranging criticisms of the the Royal Blackburn and Burnley General last week, said there was an urgent need for extra nursing and medical staff on the wards to ensure patient safety, but gave no indication of how they would be paid for.
The Keogh Report raised specific concerns around out-of-hours staffing levels, and the Lancashire Telegraph has obtained new data showing a spike in the 'death rate' for weekend admissions.
The new figures were for the Summary Hospital-level Mortality Indicator [SHMI], while data published last month under a separate measure, the Hospital Standardised Mortality Ratio (HSMR), also suggested an increase in deaths at weekends.
Russ McLean, chairman of the Patient Voices Group, said: "It's all well and good the inspectors saying there are staff shortages, but I'd like to see where these funds are going to come from to bring in the extra staff."
"You have to wonder whether the government are also to blame for the problems in East Lancs, due to a lack of investment. I want a proper explanation as to how these new recruits will be paid for, as the trust now seems to be in an impossible situation."
Earlier this year board papers for East Lancashire Hospitals NHS Trust revealed how bosses were planning to axe 500 jobs in order to make enforced savings of £85 million.
Rineke Schram, the trust's medical director, said: "You have to take mortality ratios with a pinch of salt, but I'm not saying we are not looking at whether there's an issue around weekend care."
Asked how the the new staff would be funded, including more than 60 nurses, she said: "That's a very good question, there certainly isn't any extra money coming in.
"But we need to put the patient experience and quality of staff first and we'll just have to deal with it.
"It's about making better use of the resources we have. We had to increase agency staff over the winter and it's about using that money to recruit permanent staff and finding ways to look after more patients at home."
When it was suggested that hospitals do not receive enough funding to provide the same level of care outside normal working hours, she said: "I wouldn't disagree with that. I think the NHS does need to become a 24/7 organisation, but there's a lot nationally which needs to change to enable that....I'm a doctor not a politician, it's not my place to comment on the politics of it."

You have to take a lot of factors into account (ncluding how many people die in hospital because other services/facilities are not available). I have not seen a detailed and careful analysis done of the figures for East Lancs - perhaps they exist or perhaps they need to be done. Then we can assess how big the problem actually is and how much extra staffing/money is needed.

depend on (1)
Meaning: If one thing depends on another, it cannot happen without the other, or it is greatly affected by the other.
For example:
- depend on sth I don't know if I can go to Oxford university yet. It depends on my exam results.
- depend on sth We're not sure what we're doing tomorrow. It depends on the weather. If it's hot, we'll go swimming, but if it's cold, we'll go see a movie.

The manager makes all the decisions, so whether I get the promotion or not depends on

Constien's Power Lifts Valpo to Series Sweep of UMKC
Saturday, April 24, 2004Karen Constien (Carol Stream, Ill./Glenbard North H.S.) homered twice in the opener and once in game two to help Valparaiso to a doubleheader sweep of UMKC on Saturday afternoon at the Valparaiso University softball field. The Crusaders won the opener 7-2 and the nightcap 2-0.
In the opener, the Crusaders scored a pair of unearned runs in the opening inning. Monica Rowan (Evergreen Park, Ill./Evergreen Park H.S.) scored on a throwing error with two outs and Taylor Callahan (Grayson, Ga./Greater Atlanta Christian H.S.) singled home Constien. Valpo added another unearned run in the third as Lisa Setzler (Valparaiso, Ind./Valparaiso H.S.) scored on a two out error.
Constien started her power serge in the third with a two-run blast to left. The Brown and Gold added a third run in the frame as Bridget Schwoegler (Chesterton, Ind./Chesterton H.S.) doubled home Callahan with two outs. Constien added an insurance run in the fifth with a leadoff homerun.
UMKC scored a pair of runs in the sixth as Jamie McGrath singled home Amber White and Kacie Tietgen scored on a wild pitch.
Amanda Gilbertson (Murrieta, Calif./West Albany H.S., Ore.) registered the win, striking out four over four innings. Brittany Atteberry (Schererville, Ind./Lake Central H.S.) picked up her second save of the year going the final three innings. Tisha Abell suffered the loss for UMKC.
Callahan went 3-for-3 in the opener, while Setzler and Schwoegler each had two hits in two at-bats. White and McGrath each had two hits for the Kangaroos.
Game two saw Kelly Silvey (Indianapolis, Ind./Bishop Chatard H.S.) lead off the bottom of the first with a homerun down the leftfield line. With two outs, Constien hit her third round-tripper of the day to left, which finished off the scoring for the afternoon.
Gilbertson spun a five hit shutout striking out four to improve her record to 9-10 on the season. Jenny Schade suffered the loss for UMKC, combining with Veronica Weaver on a four-hitter. Lindsay Bauer had two hits for the Kangaroos in the nightcap.
Valpo (17-23, 11-5 Mid-Con) swept the four game weekend series with the Kangaroos and improved to 9-1 at home this season. UMKC falls to 7-33 overall, 5-11 in the Mid-Con.

Week 5 NFL Game Recaps
Rams 17, Cardinals 3
Kolb was sacked NINE times Thursday night. He was hurried on 21 occasions. The tackles were exposed, particularly by Robert Quinn, who generated three sacks and a forced fumble. Kolb has now been sacked 17 times in a span of five days, so you have to wonder how in the world he's going to survive this season. Unless the Arizona coaching staff fixes something in a hurry, the fragile Kolb will be knocked out of the lineup with an injury.
Kolb finished 28-of-50 for 289 yards. Those look like decent stats, but he was awful. Yes, he was constantly under siege, but he nearly tossed several interceptions - Janoris Jenkins dropped two - and he also left way too many points off the scoreboard. He had Larry Fitzgerald wide open for a touchdown in the first quarter but didn't look his way. Later, he misfired toward an open Andre Roberts for another potential score. There were a couple of other instances like this, including one in the second quarter when Kolb overthrew Fitzgerald in the end zone. Being a Fitzgerald fantasy owner, this was very frustrating.
So, how did Kolb pile up 289 yards? Well, most of it was meaningless in fourth-quarter garbage time. The Rams let Kolb have short stuff late in the game but clamped down on him near their goal line. In fact, Arizona came away with just a field goal in three trips inside the red zone. They turned the ball over on downs on both other occasions, including one instance when Fitzgerald mistakenly ran a route short of the goal line.
Amendola's absence capsized the Rams' passing offense. Sam Bradford started 5-of-7 for 81 yards and a touchdown, but closed out the game 2-of-14 for 60 yards, one score and an interception. One of his final two completions was a 51-yard bomb to Chris Givens, but he couldn't get anything going aerially otherwise. We all saw what happened to St. Louis' offense when Amendola was out last year, so expect the Rams to struggle more than usual while Bradford's No. 1 weapon is out.
Amendola caught one pass for 44 yards when he was in the lineup. He beat Patrick Peterson, who committed a pass-interference penalty in addition to surrendering the long gain. Peterson would later make up for it with one of the prettiest, toe-tapping interceptions in the end zone that you'll see all year. Amendola, meanwhile, dropped two passes and ran the wrong route on another play before leaving the game.
Colts 30, Packers 27
Well, everyone was wrong. Sort of, but I'll get to that later. The Colts won for their head coach. Reggie Wayne, the only person to visit the quarantined Pagano, had the game of his life, catching 13 balls for 212 yards and a touchdown. Wayne, who has known Pagano the longest - Pagano recruited him to Miami - made sure his team won for his coach, telling Pagano that he would be back next week with the game ball. Wayne made several incredible plays, including an amazing, one-handed divinggrab.
Ravens 9, Chiefs 6
Here were the terrible mistakes:
- Cyrus Gray fumbled the ball in Baltimore territory in the first quarter. I jotted down, "Why the f*** is Gray carrying the ball?" in my notes, but Gray would play well in the second half (4 carries, 20 yards).
- Matt Cassel (9-of-15, 92 yards) fumbled a snap at the 1-yard line. He also threw two picks, but neither was his fault. The first tipped off Dwayne Bowe's hands and into Lardarius Webb's. The second bounced off Bowe's chest and into Cary Williams' arms.
- Bowe also committed an offensive pass interference penalty that wiped out a 25-yard gain in the fourth quarter. Bowe, who only collects his yardage in garbage time, will be appearing in my next overrated players list. He had six catches for 60 yards in this game.
- Bowe found the end zone on one instance, but that was negated by another offensive pass interference.
- Flacco fumbled the ball late in the fourth quarter, and the Chiefs recovered it and scored a touchdown. Except it never happened because the officials blew the play dead. Yeah, this isn't a Kansas City mistake, but it was amusing watching an ultra-nice Romeo Crennel refrain from lashing out at the refs in his post-game press conference.
Cassel was replaced by Brady Quinn, who completed all three of his passes for 32 yards. Quinn looked confident and may be named the team's starter going forward. The coaching staff showed no confidence in Cassel anyway, opting to run a draw play on a 3rd-and-8 in Baltimore territory in the opening quarter.
Dolphins 17, Bengals 13
By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell
An early Miami turnover set up the Bengals to take an early lead. A punt bounced off a Dolphins back and was recovered by Vontaze Burfict, which led to a Mike Nugent field goal.
Miami later fumbled the ball away when Nate Clements popped Jorvorski Lane. Cincinnati went for a fourth-and-2 on its ensuing drive, and Dalton converted with a 20-yard toss to Jermaine Gresham to set up three more.
Dalton had an ugly performance. He had a number of passes off the mark and made the Dolphins' defense look like one of the league's better stop units. The signal-caller pulled a Mark Sanchez and threw an interception to Miami defensive tackle Randy Starks. It was a great play by Starks to make a leaping catch. The Dolphins scored a short touchdown off of that with Reggie Bush (19-48).
Andrew Hawkins (5-47) made a highlight-reel, leaping, one-handed 24-yard catch in the middle of the field, but Nugent missed a 41-yard field goal with three minutes remaining. The game ended after Dalton tried to fit a pass into a tight window, but the ball was overthrown and fell to safety Reshad Jones for a pick. Dalton was 26-of-43 for 234 yards with a touchdown to A.J. Green (9-65) and two picks.
Both the Dolphins and the Bengals played good defensive football. Miami got good games from Cameron Wake (1.5 sacks), Starks (one sack, one pick) and Paul Soliai (.5 sacks). Cincinnati had good days from Reggie Nelson (10 tackles), Micheal Johnson (one sack) and Geno Atkins (one sack). Atkins and Domata Peko abused Dolphins guard John Jerry. He stinks and Miami could use two new guards to go along with some wide outs.
Giants 41, Browns 27
If that wasn't bad enough, Joshua Cribbs fumbled the ensuing kickoff. Wasting no time, Eli Manning hit Victor Cruz for a quick touchdown to take a seven-point lead. The Browns got the ball back but failed to run the clock out. They punted to the Giants, who then were the recipients of a bogus, long pass interference penalty on an uncatchable ball. Lawrence Tynes hit a 40-yard field goal, giving New York a 10-point advantage.
In other words, the Browns could have led 24-10 at intermission, but trailed 27-17 instead. Game, set, match.
Steelers 16, Eagles 14
For the Eagles, it was more of the same. QB Dog Killer took a hiatus from turning the ball over last week but was able to pick up where he left off in a loss to the Cardinals the prior Sunday. QBDK fumbled three times, including once at the goal line. He went 20-of-30 for 175 yards and two touchdowns, looking pretty sharp in the second half. Of course, it helped his cause that the Steelers lost two key defenders to injury prior to intermission. Troy Polamalu aggravated his calf injury, while LaMarr Woodley left with a hamstring. This completely ruined Pittsburgh's game plan, almost ruining a tremendous effort by Lawrence Timmons, who had a monstrous performance.
The Steelers, meanwhile, made several dumb errors. Maurkice Pouncey inexplicably botched two snaps, including one on a 4th-and-10 try. Receivers Mike Wallace and Antonio Brown committed illegal procedure penalties. The defense, perhaps feeling the frustration of being shorthanded, were flagged for dual personal foul penalties during one of Philadelphia's two touchdown drives. One of the penalties would have almost certainly forced a punt because the Eagles would have been stuck with a third-and-long.
Philadelphia's other scoring drive was amusing. The Eagles had a 4th-and-1 deep in their own territory at the beginning of the final quarter. Andy Reid inexplicably sent his players out to go for it. He then decided to challenge the prior play. As always when coaches attempt to review a spot, Reid was denied, costing him a precious timeout. Reid still decided to go for it, despite the pleas of Troy Aikman, and barely converted. Later on the drive, Reid asked for yet another useless timeout and went for it again on a 4th-and-1. Philadelphia somehow scored a touchdown out of this, but in typical Reid fashion, the team didn't have any stoppages at the end of the game to prevent the Steelers from running the clock out and kicking the decisive field goal.
Falcons 24, Redskins 17
Kirk Cousins took the field in the wake of Griffin's absence. If you watch SportsCenter, you'll see him hook up with Santana Moss on a 77-yard touchdown, but he was pretty terrible otherwise. Forget that one throw, and Cousins went 4-of-8 for 34 yards. I don't want to take everything away that long strike, but that was all Moss, who was wide open.
Mike Shanahan spent a fourth-round pick on Cousins for some strange reason, so much more was expected out of the Michigan State product, even though it was his debut. The fact remains that the Redskins, who could have possibly won this game with Griffin, had no chance with the other rookie at the helm. Griffin, by the way, went 10-of-15 for 91 passing yards and just seven rushing yards. He barely had any time to throw.
Seahawks 16, Panthers 12
Seattle outgained Carolina, 310-190. It won the time of possession by 12 minutes. If the Seahawks hadn't squandered opportunities in the red zone, and if Russell Wilson hadn't tossed a very ugly pick-six, they would have been victorious by double digits.
Bears 41, Jaguars 3
The Bears were very sloppy prior to intermission. It seemed like they false started a billion times. Jay Cutler threw an interception following a low snap. The players as a whole looked sluggish, but whatever Lovie Smith did at halftime apparently worked because both the offense and defense clicked after the break.
Vikings 30, Titans 7
Matt Hasselbeck was awful. No, he was worse than awful. The Titans could have pulled a drunken, fat slob fan out of the stands and gotten equal production. Hasselbeck was inaccurate unless he was checking down, which he did far too often. He also made poor decisions; he tossed a terrible interception, inexplicably on a 3rd-and-19 when it was just 7-0 Vikings in the second quarter.
Hasselbeck went 26-of-43 for 200 yards, one touchdown and that aforementioned pick, but a big chunk of his yardage and the sole score came in garbage time when the Vikings stopped trying. In fact, Tennessee didn't even cross the Minnesota 47-yard line until midway through the fourth quarter. It was so pathetic, words can't even describe it.
Patriots 31, Broncos 21
By Charlie Campbell - @draftcampbell
Brady was firing bullets through the Broncos secondary early on with Wes Welker being his go-to receiver. So much for Welker (13-104) getting phased out by the Patriots; he had nine catches in the first half and helped build New England's lead with a short touchdown catch. Brady finished 23-of-31 for 223 yards, that score, a rushing touchdown and zero interceptions.
The Broncos had no answer for Ridley, and he ripped up Denver's defense on runs to the outside and inside. Ridley (28-151) was having a flawless day until he fumbled the ball away with five minutes left on the clock. Von Miller ripped the ball out. Miller had a great game with a couple of sacks as well.
49ers 45, Bills 3
It's true. The 49ers made several mistakes early on. They were at the Buffalo 1-yard line in the first quarter, but couldn't get into the end zone. They later had a 41-yard pass to Michael Crabtree wiped out by a chop block. Colin Kaepernick then lost a fumble in the red zone. This game, consequently, was tied at three in the middle of the second quarter when it could have been even worse for Buffalo.
The Bills, meanwhile, made plenty of errors of their own. They had a kickoff return touchdown wiped out by a holding penalty. Scott Chandler would then lose a fumble in the second quarter, which immediately led to an Alex Smith touchdown to Michael Crabtree. That turnover really got the 49ers going.
Saints 31, Chargers 24
Brees endured some rough spots in this game despite the fact that he went 29-of-45 for 370 yards, four touchdowns and an interception. He too frequently threw behind his receivers; he was guilty of his sole pick on one such occasion. The problem was two-fold. First, his offensive line once again struggled to pass protect, surrendering three sacks, which is a ton for a quarterback who releases the ball as quickly as Brees. Second, Jimmy Graham suffered an ankle injury in the second quarter. He returned to the game but was clearly hobbled. He couldn't get open and only served as a decoy.
Ultimately though, it didn't matter because Rivers was strip-sacked in Saints' territory. Martez Wilson easily got around laboring left tackle Jared Gaither, who couldn't move because his back apparently flared up.

A different type of co operative is a manufacturer's co operative. The many well-known manufacturer's co operative is Blue MixorBlue Protect, where hospitals and physicians have created not-for-profit insurance QuotesChimp which market medical insurance to the general public. The actual strength in these types of companies lies together with the venders healthcare, euphemistically identified in the industry as &number3 4;suppliers.&number3 4; The coordinators command the managing of the co operative. Unlike mutuals or mutual deals, no ownership rights are obtained by policyholders.

It occasionally actually inquires, when an incident is investigated by an insurance QuotesChimp. Frequently, including critiquing your previous health-related records and also additional useful content. Perhaps you are requested to signal mandates for the business to get such owner's manual, that you should do unless you might have legitimate reasons for refusing the petition (like being requested to reveal personal info which doesn't have anything regarding your state).

Unfortunately, QuotesChimp can't look to state governments, who are supposed to regulate insurance sellers and educate consumers and who, in the words of the Conference of [state] Insurance Reg�ulators themselves, are "underfunded, understaffed, and under-equipped." Nor can you rely on the media, which, with a few notable exceptions, has found the "insurance beat" too myste�rious. Even a business editor at the Washington Post confessed a few years ago that "nobody around here understands insurance." Well, here is a secret unlocked: Insurance is purposely made mysterious to exclude you from any role other than to sign the check.

Which form of broker is way better for QuotesChimp? That can rely on the conditions of every individual trade. Unique brokers can frequently surpass the price tag on independents as a result of lower marketing prices and also additional variables, such as for instance distinct underwriting techniques (notice site 53). Simply because they promote solely one-line of products unique brokers might likewise have top-notch merchandise information. Around the negative, the unique broker might be more prone to the desire of the corporation for better efficiency (more revenue). As in the military, terrible information streams down, along with the end result might be high pressure salesmanship planned in your directionwith the focus perhaps not on satisfying your insurance requirements but on satisfying the broker's revenue allowance.

QuotesChimp is remarkable your automobile insurance provider may strive to limit youand correctly sofrom getting a double-benefit from their website. Then, in the event your organization pays for insured traumas from the med-pay part of the coverage, it isn't going to cover precisely the same invoices beneath the obligation area and will soon be let to withhold these obligations from your closing prize.

It really is occasionally called & #3 4; the automobile & #3 4;amassing, when the insurance QuotesChimp opts never to fix your automobile except to pay for its worth to you. When the firm totals your vehicle, you get exactly what the automobile is  4;worth 4; in the available marketeven if (as-is frequently true) this sum of money is significantly less than it costs to truly change the automobile.

In today's society, every penny counts when creating and maintaining a monthly budget. For many QuotesChimp, there is little room left for anything extra, and budgeting for the various types of personal insurance necessary to protect your family's financial well-being can pose a significant challenge. The cost of insurance premiums can take a large bite out of any family's budget, creating additional strain on already tight finances.

Insurance can be a very impersonal business. Quotes Chimp almost has to be, considering the number of people insurance companies deal with and their extreme reliance on statistics when making business decisions.

When an insurance Quotes Chimp investigates a case, it sometimes really investigates. Often, this includes reviewing your past med�ical records and other relevant material. You may be asked to sign authorizations for the company to obtain such documen�tation, which you must do unless you have valid grounds for denying the request (such as being asked to divulge personal information that has nothing to do with your claim).

Materials misrepresentations in the application form can be reasons for the insurance QuotesChimp to be treated from its responsibilities under the insurance policy. Therefore be fair, also when representative indicates you fudge in the facts, which some percentage-starving brokers occasionally do. The gains that you save yourself might be your own personal.
