Ponder's toughness, decisiveness stand out
There were plenty of negatives in Vikings QB Christian Ponder's first start against the Packers, but it would be myopic to ignore the positives from the loss.
The Minnesota Vikings have signed free agent quarterback Matt Cassel. The Vikings announced the signing Friday, one day after agreeing to terms with the former Patriot and Chief to be the backup to starter Christian Ponder. Cassel was waived by Kansas City on Thursday with two years left on his contract.||||||| Cassel led the Patriots to an 11-5 record in place of the injured Tom Brady in 2008. He was traded to Kansas City in 2009, made the Pro Bowl in 2010 and struggled the past two seasons. He threw six touchdown passes and 12 interceptions in nine games last year.
A person with knowledge of the deal says the Minnesota Vikings have agreed to terms with quarterback Matt Cassel. The Vikings and Cassel came to agreement on Thursday, the same day he was formally released by the Kansas City Chiefs with two years left on his contract. The person spoke on condition of anonymity because the deal, first reported by Fox Sports, has not been announced.||||||| Cassel spent the last four years in Kansas City. He completed 58 percent of his passes for 1,796 yards with six touchdowns and 12 interceptions in nine games last year.
The Chiefs have cut ties with Cassel, who lost his starting job to Brady Quinn last season and then watched Kansas City trade for Alex Smith to be his replacement.||||||| Cassel was the first major acquisition by the Chiefs under previous general manager Scott Pioli, and he was quickly given a six-year, $63 million contract. But after leading the Chiefs to the playoffs in 2010, Cassel struggled to live up to the same expectations.
Cassel is getting another start at quarterback for the Kansas City Chiefs.||||||| Brady Quinn still has not been cleared to participate in a game following his concussion, so Cassel will be back under center when the Chiefs play the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday.
Cassel will start in Brady Quinn's place Monday against the Steelers. Cassel was the starter the first five games of the season before sustaining a concussion and then losing the job during the bye week.||||||| Cassel was the starter the first five games of the season before sustaining a concussion and then losing the job during the bye week. Neither Caseel or Quinn is a serious fantasy option.

Princess Diana, for several reasons.
But I don't get the 'William and Kate are so modern, they're a new generation, they're going to change things, they're really trendy' school of thought. They're not total rebels who've defied what's expected of them, eloped at Gretna Green and have gone off on a booze cruise/shagathon around the world and now plan to name their child Whitney/Tyler, to the dismay of all nobility. No, from what we've seen of them they seem like a traditional couple. They've continued with many of the traditional roles and customs of the royal family and I'm sure this will include the naming of their first child, the future monarch. And even if Kate were very hip and trendy, I doubt she would be able to 'move it away'. I'm all for parenting equality but RF 'outsiders' generally don't have a lot of say. Also, looking at European royals (who are traditionally a little more lax in their naming), the modern couples have stuck to tradition, especially with their first-borns.
They're certainly more modern than their predecessors may have been though. It's expected, things change. Edward VIII was the first monarch to fly, QE2 was a mechanic in WWII, William was the first heir to be born in hospital... what would Queen Vic have made of all that?! I just don't think this will extend into naming. This has turned into a bit of a rant, sorry. I think I'm just tired of seeing 'it's going to be Prince Ethan!'William ♠ Thomas ♠ Peter ♠ Henry ~ Rose ♠ Alice ♠ Ivy ♠ Lowenna

I'm guessing some combination of Catherine, Elizabeth, and Diana. Kate feels like a bit of a sassy person to me, maybe she would sass the queen and use Diana as a first over Elizabeth. Diana Catherine Elizabeth. Elizabeth Catherine Diana. Who knows. For boys, I'm hoping for Arthur and George to be in the mix, but Arthur feels like a bit of a reach to me. I'd be quite happy with a George, though.

Granted, I'm American, but they both seem pretty traditional to me. I am 100% positive they won't name a girl Diana. They could use it as a middle, but I don't think they'll even do that. I'm guessing they will use Frances/Francis .... which seems like "Hey, we we want to honor the deceased AND be respectful of tradition, so here." In my opinion, including that name would be the best compromise and the most respectful way to honor Diana.
But yeah, as people have said, they've shown no signs of resenting their positions and what's expected of them. They both seem very respectful and traditional and I admire that. I do hope they choose the most daring of the past royal names, though: Arthur or Matilda.
I would squee if they used either of those, but I'm guessing they will use either George or Eleanor.

Wake freshman year expectations vs. reality
The clock is ticking and move-in day is just a few weeks away. At this point you are probably excited but nervous to enter the world of college. We've all been there. With that in mind, the Old Gold & Black editors decided to put together this piece that highlights the realities of college living. So here's a reality check before you start off your first year as a Demon Deacon: Dorm Room...
Major motion picture set to film on campus
On August 4, actors, cameramen and extras will swarm Wake Forest's campus in order to film an adaptation of Nicholas Sparks' novel, The Longest Ride. While production will only last 12 hours, campus will undergo some temporary changes in order to accommodate the large amount of workers.
Coal ash cleanup bill heads to compromise committee
The North Carolina State Senate unanimously rejected the state House's version of a coal ash cleanup bill on July 14, voting to send both the House and Senate versions of the bill to a compromise committee made up of members of both chambers. The bill will address the prevention of future coal ash spills by Duke Energy and similar corporations in the wake of a massive spill this past winter.
Crisis at the border
A month ago it seemed like immigration reform would remain untouched until after the upcoming midterm elections and maybe even until after the next presidential election in 2016. Speaker Jon Boehner and House Republicans announced that they would not pursue any immigration legislation while Democrats controlled the Senate, and President Obama, despite having his far-reaching "pen" and "phone," seems incapable of enacting any significant reforms unilaterally.
What to take away from the 2014 World Cup
I'm not sure whether I should envy or pity anyone who managed to avoid watching, talking or thinking about the World Cup for the past month. On the one hand, there isn't a major void in their daily routines where the Cup once was.They're not constantly checking the ESPN app for score updates or tweeting about questionable amounts of stoppage time being added after regulation. But on the other hand, they missed out on all of the fun. All of it.
Supreme Court rules in favor of Hobby Lobby
On June 30, The Supreme Court ruled in favor of the owners of Hobby Lobby Stores, exempting them from the Affordable Care Act's mandate that employers must include contraceptive coverage for their employees. The Green family, founders and owners of Hobby Lobby, sued the government in September 2012, claiming that to cover the morning-after and week-after pills would violate their first-amendment freedom of religion.
In response to poor reporting
Katie J.M. Baker posted an article on BuzzFeed titled, "What Happens When A Prep School's Black Student President Mocks Her White Male Classmates" on June 30, prompting a media frenzy. Major news outlets picked up the article, and a swarm of posts soon flooded my Facebook newsfeed.
A warning to the Grand Old Party
Last night my father told me that he thinks he might not be a Republican anymore. This is the man who voted for people with an R next to their name his entire life, who played Rush Limbaugh next to my crib, who shook my hand for the first time after I shot my first deer.

Updated: (1:04 p.m.) - A teenage boy was killed after being struck by a vehicle while walking on a road near the Russett community Thursday morning.
Division Chief Keith Swindle, a spokesman for the Anne Arundel County Fire Department, said the incident happened just before 6 a.m. near Route 198 and Russett Green East in Laurel.
The teen was transported to Laurel Regional Medical Center with life-threatening injuries.
The Anne Arundel County Police Department confirmed that he later died. He was identified as Jaelin Ashe of Carriage Walk Lane in Laurel.
An investigation revealed that the teen was struck by a 2010 Chevrolet Camaro while trying to cross the road and was struck by a car traveling east on Route 198. Police said the teen crossed against the signal warning pedestrians not to cross.
Investigation into the accident forced the closure of lanes on the Baltimore Washington Parkway for part of Thursday morning.

Lawrence County's district attorney is planning a school safety summit of sorts after the first of the year.
Joshua Lamancusa said he will meet with district officials, security guards and police to determine what security measures are in place at local schools and what can be done to enhance them.
"We want to address security within each school and what the response will be to any emergency," he said.
Jan. 10 is the tentative date for the gathering, expected to be at New Castle High School.
This review is in response to Friday's rampage by a 20-year-old gunman who killed 20 children and six adults at an elementary school in Newtown, Conn.
"I've spent 33 years in education," said Dr. Mary Todora, Neshannock's superintendent, "I never thought we'd see anything like this."
George Gabriel, New Castle's superintendent, spent his first day back from sick leave Monday meeting with city police and administrators to assess the district's security and how it can be improved.
"The New Castle police department has volunteered to assist us to assess lockdown plans of each building," he said. "Now that we've seen what can happen, we're looking at everything."
He added that when the schools were built, "we considered education, not constructing forts and fortresses, building in ways to barricade if we came under attack. By design there are hazards, but we will address that. We will be making changes."
Gabriel said he already has some ideas.
"Parents may not like this, but I plan to minimize the number of unnecessary visits in and out of the buildings and establish a more arduous screening policy."
Students at New Castle High School also will see an increased police presence. The school already has a metal detector, video surveillance cameras, several security guards and one armed, uniformed, full-time police officer employed by the district.
"There is security at the high school, but there may be more soon," New Castle Police Chief Bobby Salem said.
The district employs security guards at the high school, he noted. A guard at George Washington Intermediate School — housing grades four, five and six — sits at the front door and buzzes in anyone who has business there.
However, Salem said, at the city's three primary centers — John F. Kennedy, Thaddeus Stevens and Harry W. Lockley — visitors are buzzed in but there are no guards.
"That could change," Salem said. "Up until now, since Columbine ... we thought if we had an incident, it would most likely occur at the high school. After Friday, we're not sure of anything any more."
In 1999, two high school seniors in Colorado murdered a dozen students and a teacher at Columbine High School before committing suicide.
Salem noted Friday's shootings played no part in a training exercise at New Castle High that afternoon. The session, which had been scheduled weeks in advance, was for K-9 officers.
"Since Columbine, we have training sessions all the time. They help us to get to know the school buildings."

Jeep Commander Electrical Problem
in Jeep
My '06 Commander seems to be having some electrical problems. The rear assist lights come on, the auto high beam/low beam changes on the computer, the air bag light comes on & chimes. If the A/C is on, it goes from face to feet & back up. I've had it in & the dealer changed the ignition switch. This didn't fix it. I've searched the service bulletins but don't see anything specific to that problem. Any thoughts?
So, now I've posted to the start/stall forum as well as this one on electrical problems.
I still love the look of the car, but, the reason I went to a Jeep from a Jaguar was for reliability; my first car was a jeep, then after having a BMW Convertible I went back to a Jeep, then a Jaguar and now back to a Jeep...because of the reliability of the first two, but after this series of problems which The Dealer says they have no knowledge of, it's doubtful that I'd get another Jeep (though I bet I'll end up having this one forever).
If any of you find out what is causing the electrical problem, please post the solution!
For the past month my 06 commander head lights decide to turn on and off when they please. Along with the control panel lights dimming and brightening on their own. Not going over any bumps, does it whenever, no matter if heat, radio etc are on or off. Took it to the dealer, which on the way there lights were blinking like crazy. they drove it and nothing. Cant find anything. Then it did it again this morning. This is a problem since we will be driving from AK to PA here in a month. I need info on this and any mechanic I take it to are stumped! Anyone else having issues?
jonboy48238 Posts: 1I recently took my 2007 Commander Limited with a 4.7L engine in for a oil change. I have had not ONE problem with this vehicle, not one. I wanted to have synthetic oil in the engine, tranny and transfer case.
Upon picking up my vehicle the service representative informed me that the oil was changed and that they had completed a software upgrade. Since this upgrade my Commander is doing almost everything that I have read in this chain one by one by one by one.
First it was the back-up sensor, then the dashboard lights coming on a off then the driver side window not auto raising, ghost in the machine now.
I work in the IT industry, if there is one rule we follow and that is NEVER upgrade unless it's completely vetted out COMPLETELY. This upgrade was not, I guarantee you. This is a Chrysler software issue.
I want my Jeep back
commander27610 Posts: 1Hi sstaddie.... please let me know if you have figured out what was going on with your vehicle. I've had my 2006 commander since December of 2008. I love, love, LOVED this car, when I first got it. But that love has now turn to fear. I've had issues with the transmission, had to get Chrysler involved earlier this year. They ate the cost on most of the repairs even though my car was out side of warranty. But the headlight thing is just ridiculous. Every now and again my radio or console lights would flicker. Now it happens almost every time I drive. But the most scary thing is when the headlights would actually cut off. I've taken my car to the dealership twice, with no results. The 'computer' isn't showing anything wrong. I just took it in today as a matter of fact. I was supposed to take the car back next week to leave it overnight for the service techs to have their way with it for a day or so. Well, i make it home from work this evening with plans to run an errand. Lo and behold my car will not start. I mean WON'T start at all. I call road side assistance the guy couldn't charge my battery with his personal vehicle OR the box that had over 3000 cranking amps (which he said was enough to power a tractor trailer). He felt like it HAD to be something electrical...... so now I'm stuck in the house all weekend. But thank goodness I wasn't actually driving when my car went down. I am so frustrated and angry right now. I don't even want the car anymore I have big plans of getting rid of it.

None of the mechanics in this area could tell me what the problem was. It would do it the entire way to the dealer, headlights flickering then console lights flickering, both going out at times. Then the guys at the dealer have it and it doesn't do it. I took the manager of the service station for a ride RIGHT after it did it for me on the way THERE, and HE gets in the Jeep and NOTHING! ARGH! It suddenly stopped once summer hit, then last week it did it again!! At first we thought maybe condensation somehow since I am in AK and it gets 40 below 0 and my garage is heated. But it would do it on warmer days too. The guy at the dealer couldn't figure it out since the headlights and console lights have nothing to do with each other. I have no idea who to get to fix this problem, since it doesn't show up when a mechanic actually has it. They probably think I am nuts. Thank goodness my husband has witnessed it.
zachysdad28 Posts: 1Hello there, I have the V6 2007 Jeep Commander. I experienced some problems with every light on the dash flashing on and off. Now that I am back from a year long deployment from Iraq, where my Jeep sat for a year. I wasn't driven as much as I'd liked, but yet I still have these problems. Also I am starting to experiences some of the same problems as other people. The windows do not want to come up all the way. The locks act like they are locking while driving down the road. When opening the driver's door, doesn't unlock the other doors or turn off the radio. I have to unlock and walk around to open the passenger door to turn off the radio. Knock on wood, I haven't had the stalling problems, but I can say that I am close. PLEASE help! Any IDEAS?
Okay so got ahold of Jeep and got a Case Manager. Made an appt with my local place again. THIS TIME I got it on video of what the lights and instrument panel were doing. The service manager is really nice, always was. waiting for my appt I figured out what I thought was the problem. The actual switch where I turned the lights on. Mechanic last year kept telling me they couldn't figure it out because the headlights and instrument panel lights weren't on the same circuit etc. BUT DUH (can't believe I didn't see this last year) they are on the same SWITCH together. So manager tells me the mechanic has to hook it up to stuff looking for any error codes etc. I told him it was a waste of time and this should be on record from last year. BUT didn't have my jeep for the day and they didn't find anything. Took it in the next day when I could leave it all day and low and behold they called and said good news we know what the problem is we just need to order the part...I said..yeah it was the switch right...and he said yeahhhh how did you know???
DANG! SO it seems I have lucked out and it was only the switch and not al the other electrical problems alot of you are having. Keep you updated once they fix it.
1ibluebird Posts: 4I was sent a link to file a complaint (there are many already) at consumeraffairs.org. Perhaps someone will listen and help. My 2006 Commander stalls, will often not start and has electrical issues. My dealer has repeatedly told me that "they can not duplicate my concerns" or that I have purchased "bad gas." Yikes.
madbomber06 Posts: 1esp bas traction lights go on and off whenever they feel like. also the transmission light goes on and off, i have no cruise control now. it even turned off on me on hwy 77 going about 60 with a semi right next to me, very scary! took it to dealer, they told me it was the rain sensor module causing mayhem to all the sensors and quoted me 600 for the module. found it online for 80. not surprised...
My 06 commander has had the head light issue, I am lucky enough to have a great mechanic who figured out the issue right away and warranty covered the issue. just a switch replacement. But now our commander is sitting outside our house stalled. It refuses to start, when u leave the driver door open the cd changer continously changes cds even tho the car isnt on. if you close the door then the cd changer stops. if I turn the ignition, it clicks and all the lights start flashing calling for me to get the rear park assist serviced and a key code error PO153, Transmission over temp and service 4wd system. WHAT THE HECK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I have put money into this thing and now I have a brand new baby and a non reliable car. I have actually driven down a hill and ALL my brakes locked up and slid me near a cliff!!!!! UGH frustrating!!! Ideas anyone???
Issue with mine also. The jeep wont start, clicks when i turn the key. the screen says i need to service my 4wd system, PO 513 CODE, service park assist and transmission over temp. What???? Its stalled outside my house right now. Did u ever find the issue with your elecrtrical complications?
gordonbolina Posts: 1You may think Im crazy, but I have experienced some of the same thigs as other people, with the flashing head lights and the stalling at red lights. I personally think that the jeep not cranking up is a totally different problem. I was at my local mall about two months ago and when I got done shopping and got in my car to leave, it would not crank. After trying everything under the sun, over the course of three days I randomly tried my spare key, which my girlfriend normally kept on her in case I got locked out. She had taken me up to the mall for my forth day of working on the car, and I realized I had left my key at home. She said "don't worry I have your spare" I took it from her, unlocked my car and stuck it in rolling down the driver window which had been my routine the past few days. My girlfriend said "let me hear the click noise its making so I turned the key and it crunk right up. Still to this day my other key will not work.
hogan3 Posts: 12I have a 2006 jeep commander. I been having a problem with the abs brakes. The abs will light up on dash also esp. I drive down the street on dry road with foot on gas and the abs will engage and start braking. It happens intermittly and when I take in to dealership they say can not duplicate problem.
I also have had the headlights go off and on. The fan off and on and entire dash light up. Taken back to dealership twice so far. I don't know what to do at this point. I worry I will be driving down the highway and the brakes engaging.
I already went through a lemon law case around 3 years ago. The inside of my windshield would leak. I would have to chip ice from inside of windshield durning winter. Took it in countless times.Finally they subed it out to a company that specialized in leaks and it got fixed.
kr1st1 Posts: 1I used to have those problems with the lights on my 06 commander, and they stopped once we replaced the blower motor because it burnt out. The headlights used to go off and on, the dashboard lights did the same. The fan blower finally went out, and when we replaced it, some of the wires were fried. I think that was causing the problem with our commander because it hasn't happened since we fixed it. I hope you get the issues worked out.
(in addition to the many problems w/my commander that I have discussed here since 2009) I now have 'the sunroof-front windshield leak into the front passenger side' to the point that this morning I too had to scrape ice off of INSIDE of windshield. More: The puddle of water in the front passenger foot well took 20+ minutes to scoop out, and it is still wet after having been covered with large absorbent towel all day.
I just spoke with chrysler corporate and they are calling me back tomorrow.
I also earlier today called a few jeep dealer service centers in the area asking them only to call me back if any of them had actually had their own hands on a jeep commander for this sort of repair; a full business day down, and, so far, nobody has called me back. the last time i spoke with a dealer i was told that it would cost about $600 to repair the leak because they would be replacing all of the tubing that make up the sunroof drains.
Please tell me what was the final solution that actually worked for your commander to stop this leaking.
I have small confidence that Jeep Chrysler will do the right thing and admit this is a manufacturer's flaw, and am prepared to pay for the repair myself. That said, I want this to be a successful repair that doesn't take advantage of me $ as the dealer did when he did not file the warranty papers at time of purchase...

Traverse City Record-Eagle
— TRAVERSE CITY — A woman who fought with her boyfriend and apparently tried to run him over in a Walmart parking lot will serve a year probation.
Heather Kaley, 22, of Traverse City, pleaded guilty to a single count of domestic violence for the January incident. She was sentenced Wednesday in 86th District Court.
Authorities said Kaley and her then-boyfriend got into a fight in the Walmart parking lot off South Airport Road. He deliberately broke her phone, and she began to punch and choke him, a witness told deputies.
They got into their car and Kaley, in the driver's seat, began to speed off. Her boyfriend opened the door to get out and a tire ran over his leg, deputies said. A witness said Kaley then tried to run him over and he jumped into a snowbank.
He refused medical treatment for a gash in his leg.
Kaley is not to have contact with the victim.

Production of De Novo Cardiomyocytes: Human Pluripotent Stem Cell Differentiation and Direct Reprogramming
2012; 10 (1): 16-28
Cardiovascular disease is a leading cause of death worldwide. The limited capability of heart tissue to regenerate has prompted methodological developments for creating de novo cardiomyocytes, both in vitro and in vivo. Beyond uses in cell replacement therapy, patient-specific cardiomyocytes may find applications in drug testing, drug discovery, and disease modeling. Recently, approaches for generating cardiomyocytes have expanded to encompass three major sources of starting cells: human pluripotent stem cells (hPSCs), adult heart-derived cardiac progenitor cells (CPCs), and reprogrammed fibroblasts. We discuss state-of-the-art methods for generating de novo cardiomyocytes from hPSCs and reprogrammed fibroblasts, highlighting potential applications and future challenges.

Victor Lipman, Contributor
I write about management and corporate life.
The most successful business people I've known have had an attitude about them. They're not easily discouraged by obstacles and issues that might deter others. In fact, they don't see them as "obstacles and issues," but problems to solve and situations to work through. In a word, they're not easily daunted…
They're not daunted by failure – Fear failure too much and you'll have a hard time getting past breakfast.
They're not daunted by rising before the sun does – Show me a successful lazy entrepreneur and I'll show you a purple horse.
They're not daunted by wickedly hard work – Most don't think of it as "work."
They're not daunted by risk – Too much risk is seldom good – but nothing really innovatively great is ever accomplished without some degree of risk, often quite a bit.
They're not daunted by responsibility – No choice but to take it, if you want the rewards that go with it.
They're not daunted by conflict – Conflict is the currency of leadership – you have to be able to handle it effectively or others won't want to follow.
They're not daunted by what you can't see with the naked eye – Vision in business means looking past the horizon to opportunity invisible to most.
They're not daunted by bare forearms – As in the kind that go with rolled-up sleeves.
They're not daunted by admitting fault- Too much hubris and you'll have trouble working with others, which of course you need to in order to accomplish what you want to.
They're not daunted by the unknown - That pretty much goes without saying.
The quality of being daunted, or not, has been on my mind, as I just read a wonderful book titled Nothing Daunted: The Unexpected Education of Two Society Girls in the West, by Dorothy Wickenden. It's the story of two Smith College grads who left the East to teach school in a remote settlement called Elkhead, in northwestern Colorado, in 1916. The book especially interested me, as my wife and I moved last year from the East to a spot near Elkhead.
In a phrase, those two young women had pioneer spirit. It was a good thing then and it is now. In young enterprises of all kinds.

Thank you for this post. Usually many people think that being successful comes with luck or by inheritance. Anything that's worth something in life is going to be hard to achieve. I would like to post this to my blog which is about being positive and being able to just be you and therefore be free.
Great list. In order to succeed in business, you need to take risk and take responsibility. If you are too scared to take risk, you will only go far to a certain level.
I would like to add that in our pressured world, too many successful people work way too hard. As you say, they do enjoy it – or at least most of it. If there is one thing I have learned about business it is that you need a life to balance it out with.
As an example, I am a keen gardener. Now that can be very hard work – and it is totally different from my day-job. The huge benefit I get is being able to stand back and reflect on what is going on businesswise. If I get writer's block or anything like that, there's always something to do in the garden. By the time I am happily beavering away, an idea will float by.
As a side-note to failing (something I'm quite good at, by the way) the strong person stands back up, dusts themselves off and thinks "now what can I learn from that"? Because this sort-of goes along with fearlessness: knowing your limitations and exploring them tells you where it is actually safe to tread. What's more if you are careful enough, treading where you have never set foot becomes a lot of fun!
Thanks, Victor for your kind thoughts. Only, not thinking of your work as "work" is actually a very real danger. It's the kind of thing that will lead people to do humongous amounts of work and yet make only a few bucks – when if they reflected a little on the situation they would choose a slightly different path.
I'm speaking out of direct experience, by the way! After the failure of my interior decorating business I realized that in my attempts to rescue it I had inadvertently learned a little about marketing. I spent a very enjoyable nine months or so trotting down the wrong path and getting stuck in a rut. It has taken another nine months (and will take a few more) to turn myself around. The biggest problem is that you just can't see these things when looking at yourself in the mirror each morning!
Having said that, it's a lovely day to be out in the garden … ;-)
Actually, what I really meant to say with all this is that when you do take time off from work, you can actually be as productive as if you were sitting by your desk – or rolling up your sleeves.
I'll be printing this off and putting it where I can read it every morning – dealing well with conflict (instead of running and hiding) has been one of my biggest challenges as a relatively new manager, so thank you for reminding me that conquering that fear of conflict is worth it! Thanks for the pep talk this morning!

House passes debt ceiling increaseThe bill would let the Treasury Department borrow new money until mid-May. In exchange, the legislation would require lawmakers in both chambers of Congress to pass a budget resolution or have their pay withheld until they do.Here's how the bill would work:The proposal would suspend the debt ceiling until May 18. And Treasury could continue to borrow for payments that have to be made during the suspension period and nothing else. "In short, no funny stuff," Donald Marron, a former Congressional Budget Office, noted inhis blog.The debt ceiling would then be restored at its current level of $16.394 trillion plus however much Treasury borrowed during the suspension period.Related: Debt ceiling FAQsAfter May 18, Treasury likely could again use "extraordinary measures" to stave off the prospect of default for awhile, giving Congress extra time to raise the debt ceiling. The Bipartisan Policy Center estimates that if the House bill is enacted by the end of January, Treasury could have "sufficient funds to meet all federal financial obligations through at least the end of July."
The bill would also open a path to a longer term increase: It would require the House and Senate to each agree by April 15 to a budget resolution for fiscal year 2014. And such a measure, which is intended to set spending and revenue levels for the next five to ten years, can include debt ceiling increases, said Pete Davis, a former Hill budget staffer who now runs Davis Capital Investment Ideas.If the House and Senate don't meet the April 15 deadline, lawmakers' pay would be withheld until they pass a budget resolution or until the current Congress ends in January 2015, whichever comes first.So it's not that lawmakers won't get paid if they miss the deadline. Their salaries would be held in escrow and paid out at some point later.It's also noteworthy that the bill doesn't actually require Congress to enact a budget, just that each chamber pass a budget resolution, Marron noted.House Republicans, in coming up with the temporary debt ceiling solution, are in essence conceding that the debt ceiling fight is not their best shot at securing spending cuts and substantive deficit reduction.
And again they cave. Why even have republicans if they are going to get on their knees and blow democrats all day anyways.'Political Correctness is a doctrine fostered by a
delusional, illogical liberal minority, and rabidly
promoted by an unscrupulous mainstream media, which
holds forth the proposition that it is entirely
possible to pick up a turd by the clean end!'
A fear of weapons is a sign of retarded sexual and emotional maturity. Sigmund Freud
So the next scheduled crisis is set to hit its peak on Mother's Day. Then one on Memorial Day, an Independence Day showdown, a Veterans Day crisis all anew, and soon we're back into the jolly holidays again with another government shutdown standoff. With nothing solved - more debt shifted to your offspring.
I've tuned out. It's not that I don't care, it's that it doesn't matter. They have big decisions to make, and they make them by shuffling bills and running them through the auto-crisis filters to pass last year's debt while giving out cast notes to the Congressional actors as to who should rant and who should cry.
Don't even need a new playbill for next year. Same cast, same show.

I've reached a simple solution. I will not vote for an incumbent for at least the next 6 years. After that -- we'll see. But until the Congress does its job -- I'm not going to help vote an incumbent back into the job.Voting against incumbents until we get a Congress that does its job.

DURHAM — With N.C. State ahead by six runs in the eighth inning, the game looked over.
And the Blue Devils were playing like it was over, allowing Trea Turner to steal third base while they weren't paying attention.
Duke coach Chris Pollard wasn't pleased, and he ripped into his team before the bottom half of the inning. He figured the tongue-lashing would either send them further into a hole or help catapult them back into the baseball game. It did the latter, as the Blue Devils rallied for five runs in the eighth and two in the ninth for a dramatic 11-10 victory, giving Duke series wins against N.C. State and North Carolina in the same season for the first time since 2009.
"It was a season-changing win and a program-changing win," Duke third baseman Jordan Betts said. "We're the champs of the Triangle, so to speak. When is the last time that that happened? This is a great moment for Duke and Duke baseball going forward."
Betts, a senior, provided the game-changing at-bat that put Duke (20-17, 9-9) back in the game. Betts had hit a home run off of the bull hanging above the left-field fence during the fifth inning – his first of the year – and he dug in against Joe O'Donnell with two on in the eighth. Of the 10 pitches O'Donnell had thrown that inning, eight had been balls, but Betts took a check swing at a slider in the dirt to begin his at-bat. Another off-speed pitch put him in an 0-2 hole.
Then, with a decision that had N.C. State coach Elliott Avent at a loss for words after the game, O'Donnell threw Betts a high fastball, and he drilled it over the bull for a three-run home run that cut Duke's deficit to 10-7.
"We made a couple of 0-2 pitches that were just unbelievable," Avent said. "Jordan, the third baseman, we pitched him very poorly the second time."
O'Donnell was replaced by Cody Beckman, but he started his day by allowing a Chris Marconcini single. The next batter, Aaron Cohn – who entered the game 0-for-9 in the series – drilled a 1-0 pitch off the bull to make it a 10-9 game.
Andrew Istler pitched a scoreless ninth for Duke, and, for the first time in Pollard's two seasons, the Blue Devils felt like they were going to win the game despite being down in the bottom of the ninth.
Cameron Neal, in his second plate appearance of the year, was hit by a D.J. Thomas pitch. The next batter, leadoff man Mark Lumpa, popped up a bunt, but it landed on the infield grass and spun back to catcher Brett Austin – and Austin threw the ball into right field, where it bounced around near the bullpen mound long enough to let pinch-runner Anthony D'Alessandro score from first. Lumpa ended up at third with no outs and the score 10-10.
"The way we gave it up was absolutely ridiculous," Avent said. "That's an embarrassment."
Jon Olczak came in to pitch for the Wolfpack and struck out Mike Rosenfeld before intentionally walking Betts and Marconcini to load the bases with one out. Cohn, fresh off his first hit of the weekend, was up again.
"After the two walks, with nowhere to put me, I had a feeling they were going to be throwing fastballs," Cohn said, "So I was out there sitting fastball on the first pitch."
Cohn got his fastball, and he roped it to score the winning run.
Beyond the bragging rights implications, the win was equally huge for Duke and devastating for N.C. State (20-15, 6-12) in terms of postseason implications. With four weekends to go, the Blue Devils are seventh in the ACC, which will send 10 teams to its postseason tournament. N.C State is 12th of 14 teams.
"These kids have to hear a lot about N.C. State baseball and North Carolina baseball, and rightfully so," Pollard said. "It has worn on our guys that, hey, there's a third really good college baseball team in the Triangle that's not being talked about. And they have played both these series with a chip on their shoulder.
"It was a really special win to be a part of, and hopefully this can be a big jumping off point for us."

The Orange Leader
More, more, more, more. Jasper displayed more speed, more size, more experience and more big plays Friday night at Larry Ward Stadium.
Bridge City possessed more than Jasper in a few categories, but not the desirable kind, such as more injuries and more intercepted passes.
Bulldogs big plays pelted on BC's turf in the form of rainbow passes, swing passes, and any other means by which second-year Jasper boss Darrell Barbay could unleash speed to take down the outmanned Cardinals, 49-7.
Jasper improved to 2-2 and Bridge City dropped to 1-4 because the host Redbirds needed much more speed to keep up with these Dogs.
Fourteen times in the opening half, the winners gained double-digit yardage on snaps. Whether they relied on senior passer Steven Walker or junior duel threat Randy Spikes, the Bulldogs clicked with passes of all sorts, and runs especially around BC's flanks.
The visitors proved their ability to score with a one-play series late in the first quarter as senior powerhouse Shawn Jones took a little swing pass from Walker to his left, cut back to the opposite side of the field and ran untouched on a 68-yard scoring play. By then it was Jasper 21-0 with 2:48 left in the first quarter.
If the Redbirds doubted Jasper's willingness to sustain a drive, the Dogs regained possession early in the second quarter by marching 99 yards in 14 plays following an interception. Backup quarterback Spikes lobbed the perfect rainbow to 6-5 senior receiver Jamarcus Reed, who outjumped BC defender Keaton Langston at the end zone for a 12-yard scoring pass with three minutes left before intermission.
Jasper's two quarterbacks — Walker and Spikes — combined on 9 of 10 first-half completions for 173 yards while the Bulldogs ground game jabbed away at BC's interior for 164 yards in the opening half.
The Dogs also excelled in clock management, covering 44 yards in six snaps during the last 83 seconds of the half. The visitors benefitted from a 25-yard punt, going to work at BC's 44. Walker hit four of four passes during the drive for 40 yards to three different receivers before Roy Hennington plunged home for the final yard for his second touchdown of the half.
Hennington capped Jasper's opening series by dragging BC's Zach Youngblood to the goal on a five-yard scoring run. Walker's 43-yard bomb to Reed set up the score at BC's 11.
Jasper's running star was the backup QB Spikes who sprinted six times for 126 yards in the opening half. A determined effort by Redbirds' corner Kolton Bergeron chased down Spikes on BC's 3 at the end of a 68-yard dart around right end. Shawn Jones followed with a one-yard counter behind right tackle.
Jasper's swarming defense limited BC to 25 first-half rushing yards. The Cardinals entered Jasper territory on three possessions but three Jasper interceptions plagued the aerial efforts of Redbirds junior Chase Shugart. The lanky BC quarterback 8 of 21 for 97 yards.
It doesn't look as if life gets any easier in District 21-3A play next week when the Cardinals travel to high-powered Silsbee at 7 p.m. Friday night.

Hey Fay, a friend of mine recommended your website to me. I wanted to know what could your guide possibly offer me that I haven't tried yet. Since I have tried so many products before that didn't do me any good I wanted to see if yours would be different…
Honestly it was! Quite frankly it was better than I expected. I had some problem areas on my elbows and calves and after about two weeks of following your instructions they were completely cleared…
Your eczema treatment system has changed my life and I will be forever grateful to you. Thank you so much…

You Gave Me Hope
There were many nights I would cry myself to sleep because of the way my skin use to look. I had eczema all over my hands and neck which was visible to everyone. I was browsing the web and found your book by accident and decided that I couldn't let this offer pass…
Your tips and advice are truly helpful to me and I can say that I have never seen my skin this clear from eczema in years…
I would recommend the 14 days eczema cure to anyone who has eczema and want to get rid of it. Thanks Fay, you are a life saver…

A Real Life Saver!
I would just like to drop by and extend my heartfelt gratitude. My little boy has been suffering from chronic bouts of eczema since birth. Unsightly marks and itchiness plagued him during daytime, which usually worsened throughout the night. It became a living nightmare that hounded us for months without any lasting cure in sight.
I was about to give up after seemingly endless trial and errors with OTC creams and prescription medications. Good thing a family friend recommended your treatment system. Lo and behold, it's been 8 months and no sign of rashes and itchiness!
Thank you so much! I'm definitely recommending your product to colleagues and friends!

I Now Feel Like I Am Living Again…Thank You
My work in the hospitality industry requires me to constantly deal with harsh chemicals, sanitizers and dishwater on a regular basis. With recurring cases of eczema, I was resigned to the idea of living with this condition, which is more like a life sentence, truth be told.
In fact, unlike others, I was not actively looking for a cure. My daughter, bless her kind soul, recommended your treatment guide. With a lot of nagging and prodding, I tried your system for the past 7 days and have been seeing astonishing results! I can't wait to complete the entire treatment guide and say good riddance to eczema – for good!
You have my eternal gratitude! Thank you!

You could say I have had more than my fair share of eczema episodes that drove me up the wall for months. The constant need to scratch was not only downright embarrassing, it pushed my anxiety levels past its limits!
I found my way to your site and after a few hesitations from a weary and cynical online shopper, I now find myself ecstatic beyond words!
I am so happy I decided to take the risk and tried out your treatment system! It really works! I still can't get over it! Don't blame me if I can't stop spreading the great news online.

I can't tell you enough how truly happy I am to have found your eczema treatment guide. I too, have been using creams for a long time. At first they would clear my eczema but as soon as I was out my eczema would come back.
I must say I was really skeptical to try your guide but I am really glad I did. After about two weeks I saw a major improvement in my eczema.
It's good to be able to go to bed without plastering my skin with creams. Thanks a million.
Your Eczema Treatment Worked Like A Charm…
Hi! I just want to drop a few lines to express my thanks. My 12-year-old daughter has been suffering from eczema for the past 3 years. We have tried a series of treatments, without much luck. After 14 days of your treatment guide, we were waiting for symptoms to recur. It's been more than 4 months now, and no sign of blisters and rashes!
Your guide does not only work, it prevents recurrences! Your system is a breath of fresh air from all those commercial products with false promises! Cheers!

|Pregnant and Eczema-Free!
Hi. I'm sharing my story in the hope that pregnant women out there and those suffering from chronic eczema will hopefully read this.
I work in a highly fast-paced and stressful environment and for the past 6 years, eczema has been a frequent unwelcome visitor. Given my situation, my husband and I decided to put off pregnancy until we are able to find a lasting cure for this dreadful condition.
Luckily, my mother-in-law recommended your system, which was referred to her by an old friend. I have to say I initially thought it was just one of those treatments I have tried in the past that only gave temporary relief. But, I've never been so happy to admit my assumptions were wrong.
I'm now on my second trimester and over-the-moon happy! Eczema is now just a thing of the past! My husband and I can't thank you enough.

This Is Worth A Shot Since So Many Have Experienced Results!
I've had this embarrassing skin disorder since high school and you could say I consider it a skeleton in my closet.
I have been actively looking for the ultimate cure and stumbled upon your website. Reading all the great feedback, I am so excited to try out your system and see real lasting results for myself. You bet I'll be back after a month to give you an update!
Diedre Emmet
I Am Still In Shock!!!
I have been to various doctors and they told me I would never be able to cure my eczema. They keep giving me all different kinds of creams to apply. After one stop working they gave me another. I hated that.
To cut a long story short, contrary to what the doctors told me, I have tried your system and my eczema is gone. I still can't believe it.
I just want to wish you all the best and encourage you to continue doing the good job you are doing to help people get over their eczema.
Thanks a lot,

By GARY FAUBER
for the Daily Telegraph
Throughout the week, much of the history relating the football programs at Marshall and Miami (Ohio) has been brought to light.
There was Miami's 66-6 win in the third game of the 1971 season — less than one year after the tragic Marshall plane crash that killed all 75 people aboard. Thundering Herd fans believe the then-Redskins ran up the score.
There was the rivalry between the two during Marshall's days in the Mid-American Conference — a rivalry that was largely one-sided in the Herd's favor.
There was Miami's accusation that Marshall had bugged the RedHawks' locker room.
Then there was the infamous night of Nov. 12, 2002 — two days before Marshall's remembrance of the tragedy — when the Herd beat Miami 36-34 on a touchdown run by quarterback Stan Hill with five seconds remaining. Hill was playing in place of an injured Byron Leftwich, and a pair of pass interference calls against Miami helped make Hill's TD possible.
But it was what happened afterward that most people remember more. RedHawks assistant Taver Johnson threw a tirade and damaged the visiting coaches box, and defensive coordinator Jon Wauford was arrested after allegedly knocking a Marshall fan to the turf. The fan, Robert Flaugher, was knocked unconscious after his head hit the turf.
The teams have not met since 2004, a year before Marshall left the MAC to join Conference USA. But there's plenty of history to make those nine years seem more like nine months.
Marshall will host the RedHawks at 7 p.m. today in a game that can be seen on CBS Sports Network. As much as the programs are linked, Marshall coach Doc Holliday said the fact that it's the season opener should be motivation enough.
"We have told them all along that this is the most important game because it's the first one," he said. "Miami is a team with great tradition. ... Our players understand they better be prepared Saturday if they want to have a chance."
Drawing inspiration from the history is fine, but the Herd has more pressing issues to face for the 2013 season as a whole.
Chief among them is shoring up a defense that ranked among the worst in the nation last year.
Holliday would also like to an improved running game, which didn't exactly struggle last season. Senior Essray Taliaferro emerged from the preseason as the starting running back Kevin Grooms is ready to expand on his Freshman of the Year season.
Sophomores Steward Butler and Remi Watson are also expected to see significant playing time.
Holliday is confident he has enough depth at offensive line to make the running game even more effective.
"We have some offensive linemen with Josh Lovell and Sebastian Johansson in the mix there. (Beckley native) Clint Van Horn is playing extremely well," Holliday said. "There are seven or eight offensive linemen who are going to roll in there."
Getting off to a good start could go a long way in setting a winning tone. Marshall has not won a season opener under Holliday and not since 2009 — Mark Snyder's last season as head coach — when it beat Southern Illinois 31-28.
"Right now there are about 124 teams that think they're going undefeated. Everyone is excited right now. It's like I told our guys all along," Holliday said Tuesday. "Everyone thinks they worked harder than anyone else up to this point.
"It's what happens with your team as far as preparation and investment. School starts and distractions start to take place. The teams that handle the distractions and continue to prepare and be invested like they need to be, those are the ones that win. We have to make sure that our team is one of those teams."

Violinist Lydia Miller plays the role of the storyteller.
Also planned during the concert is a performance by pianist John Novacek of Tchaikovsky's famous piano concerto No. 1 in B flat. Novacek is winner of the Leschetizky and Joanna Hodges international piano competitions.
A January snowstorm forced the orchestra to reschedule.

The time has come for the Riverside Park ice skating rink in Oakmont to open.
Members of the Oakmont Recreation Board have announced the rink will be open to the public this weekend.
This is the second year the rink is installed in the park, however, it never opened last year due to warmer-than-normal temperatures.
Here's a look at the schedule:
- 9 to 11:45 a.m.—Free skate
- Noon to 2:45 p.m.—Family skate
- 3 to 5:45 p.m.—Free skate
- 9 to 11:45 a.m.—Hockey free play
- Noon to 2:45 p.m.—Family skate
- 3 to 5:45 p.m.—Ages 12 and older
For the rink to remain open, however, there must be at least one adult volunteer willing to watch the rink—responsible for calling 911 in case of emergency, that there's no rough housing and that the appropriate age groups are using the rink. Anyone interested in volunteering can email firstname.lastname@example.com.
To stay updated, visit the Oakmont Recreation Board's Facebook page.

This isn't my first time at the over-sharing rodeo. Blogging about my cancer journey on Facebook, in real time, had its advantages. Prior to my diagnosis, I made the conscious choice to share my biopsy experience and it just unfolded from there. Sharing experiences and photos, both good and bad, had a calming effect on me. I felt completely connected and supported by a large group of people whenever I decided to reach out. I was transparent in sharing every fear, challenge, setback and triumph.
Most of the time, I injected humor into the mix so the posts wouldn't drag anyone down. Humor was a huge component to my mental survival during the ordeal, and it still is today. Laughing in the face of the beast and finding the humor in every situation helped me to get out of bed everyday and systematically complete each stage of treatment with my sense of humor intact. I realize that being so transparent is an unconventional choice and not for everyone, but it worked for me.
Another positive by-product of all this over-sharing was an army of people coming forward to offer assistance. In the past, I had had difficulty accepting help from others, but cancer changed all that. I am fortunate to live in a community of extremely caring people. The amount of care and support that I received is mind-boggling and a true testament to the generosity of the human spirit.
People that know my story often look to me when someone close to them gets diagnosed with cancer. I am not kidding when I tell you that I usually receive two emails or calls a week about this. The question that they ask me the most is "How can I best help my friend/Mom/sister/cousin/daughter/niece or neighbor?" My answers usually surprise them. In my experience, it isn't always the commonplace or predictable things that cancer patients want or need.
COORDINATE CARE NEEDS: Step number one should be starting a page at www.lotsahelpinghands.com. This website offers easy-to-use tools to coordinate care needs and takes the scheduling headaches completely away from the person battling. One coordinator is needed to post the battler's care needs on the calendar. That way, the battler only has to communicate with one person. Through the website, volunteers receive regular emails when care needs are posted and can sign up for what they are able to do. I had about 150 volunteers on my LHH page that provided necessary and much-appreciated meals, playdates, rides to treatment and more for a year and a half!
MEET THE BATTLER RIGHT WHERE THEY ARE: On the emotional front, the biggest help to me were the friends and family willing to meet me right where I was emotionally on any given day. When speaking with a cancer battler, you want to be positive, but you also want them to feel that it's okay to vent, cry or be fearful. After that brief meltdown, they can then pick up the pieces and press on. It is very important for them to be able to feel everything as they go through it. Sometimes just sitting with the battler and listening, or even talking about topics other than the cancer is most appreciated. I sometimes resented when people would tell me to "stay positive" at times that I just wanted to vent. Let the battler set the pace.
SOMETIMES THE BATTLER DOESN'T KNOW WHAT THEY NEED: Keep in mind that your loved one may not be able to verbalize or have the energy to ask for what he/she needs. Don't bother asking the cancer patient what they need…just DO! I loved when someone would unexpectedly bring me lunch and eat with me. Having company was key to me not feeling isolated. Treatment is a scary and extremely emotional thing to go through and it helps to have simple gestures and fun surprises to brighten your week. Most cancer battlers experience major changes to their regular routine and the sense of loss that one feels is maddening. Suddenly, you are faced with many hours in the day to fill. I wasn't able to read or watch television during chemotherapy because I couldn't concentrate well enough. Because I only had the energy to do things in short spurts, boredom often set in. Luckily, I had many people in my circle of support kind enough to drop by to say hello, take me for short drives or call on the phone. These small gestures became my lifeline and gave me strength to press on. Don't underestimate the power of a simple, kind gesture. One day, I was having a particularly bad day and I posted on Facebook that I needed a Snickers. While I meant for this statement to be amusing, it yielded three Snickers bars delivered to my door within the hour! I still laugh about that.
OFFER TO GO TO MEDICAL APPOINTMENTS: Doctor appointments are frequent and overwhelming during a cancer battle. It helps immensely to have another person there to take notes and help to interpret the information.
REACH OUTSIDE YOUR SOCIAL CIRCLE TO HELP: Supportive personal relationships are instrumental to emotional survival during any cancer battle but not everyone has a large social circle from which to draw support.. Why not reach out to someone in your community that you don't know but have heard is battling? While I had many friends and family help out, there were also people I had never met before stepping up to provide support. Now I am lucky enough to call them my friends and I will be forever grateful.
I could probably list many other things, but at least this is some food for thought. I am back at to work full-time and healing nicely from my surgery last week. I appreciate you reading this blog and I hope there is some meaningful advice here that can help other battlers. Thank you for all off your kind words of encouragement and support. FIGHT!
