Crusaders Improve to 5-0 in Mid-Con Action
Friday, October 10, 2003Valparaiso registered its fifth straight three-game sweep on Friday afternoon as the Crusaders downed Chicago State 31-29, 30-20, 30-17 in the Windy City to improve to 17-4 overall and 5-0 in the Mid-Continent Conference.
The Crusaders struggled hitting in game one as the Brown and Gold hit just .091 and squeaked out a victory. In games two and three, Valpo hit over .320 in each one (.367 and .323) to coast to victories.
Lauren Moulton (Elgin, Ill./Larkin H.S.) led the Crusaders with nine kills, a .500 hitting percentage, and four blocks on the evening. Liz Mikos (Dundee, Ill./Jacobs H.S.) and Michelle Robinson (Bloomington, Ill./Normal H.S.) each added nine kills as well. Mikos also had eight blocks.
Cyndi Norman (Minooka, Ill./Minooka H.S.) dished out 33 assists, while Sara Silcox (Michigan City, Ind./Michigan City H.S.) tallied 13 digs.
Alison West led Chicago State (1-16, 0-4 Mid-Con) hitting .400 with 14 kills, while Andrea Rose added 11 kills. Stacey Cole had 12 digs for the Cougars.
Valpo hit .238 for the match, compared with Chicago State's .087. Valpo also outblocked the Cougars 16-6 for the match.
Valparaiso will return to action on Saturday evening when the Crusaders travel to Indianapolis to battle IUPUI. First serve is slated for 7 p.m.

About three months ago, my wife Diane and I noticed that the Indianapolis hotel where we were staying had an elevator that required the use of a key card to access the floors with guest rooms.
Of course, a burglar could simply follow someone onto the elevator and get off on the same floor. Nevertheless, the key card gave a comforting sense of false security.
Then just a few weeks ago, we were at the downtown Marriott in New Orleans. They had recently changed their elevator system. Instead of the usual up and down buttons, there was a keypad, on which you entered your floor number. The keypad then indicated which of the seven elevator cars would take you to your floor.
Disconcertingly, there were no buttons to push inside the car, since it already knew where you were going. The system worked fine, was fairly fast and seemed to be an improvement over the usual elevator car roulette. Almost everyone commented about it.
It wasn't all that great, however, for distractible people like me who punch in their number and then look away to check their e-mail and fail to notice what car they have been assigned. Our grandchildren wouldn't like it either, because it cuts down on the number of buttons you get to push (or argue over pushing).
This system is called "The Schindler ID Traction Elevator" and they claim it can reduce average traveling time by up to 30 percent. There is even a You Tube video of the Marriott elevator. The Marriott video only has 77 views, compared to thousands of views of the video of the Schindler over at the New Orleans Sheraton. The Sheraton's elevator computer must also serve hot hors d'œuvres and cocktails.
Vertical-movement devices have been around for a long time. They were mentioned in the writings of the Roman architect Vitruvius, who says that Archimedes built his first elevator in 236 B.C. Personally, I have always been attracted to elevators and escalators. As a child, I considered them sort of thrill rides. According to the National Elevator Industry Inc., there are about 700,000 elevators and 35,000 escalators in the United States, with more than 325 million daily riders.

On Being Blog
A reflection on how we talk about violence done in the name of a religion or ideology.
I started in November as the show's first-ever production intern. My time here has been brief but wonderful. You all should know that the people who create this show are every bit as bright, funny, insightful, inquisitive, and warm as you hope they are.
Two things brought me here: First, I am an unabashed super-fan of the program. Second, I am a student in my last year at Luther Seminary. My program there asks that I do an internship after two years of study, and I heard through a friend that SOF had one available — quelle chance! (Maybe three things brought me here, if you count dumb luck!)
I can't afford — personally or production-wise — to be on the road much of the time. But Kate and I are on a thoroughly energizing, enjoyable trip right now. And there is something amazingly wonderful about getting out like this every once in a while and looking out, while I speak, at a room full of bodies and faces.
The radio program has grown so much in reach and carriage these past years, yet what we do doesn't change much. We just keep trying to get better and better at our craft. We create these hours of radio and pages of web content, put them up on the Internet and satellite, and move on to the next topic.
A fabulous turn-out yesterday at the National Cathedral. It looked like six or seven hundred people in the pews, filling the nave of the Cathedral for the Sunday Forum, during which Dean Sam Lloyd interviewed Krista — always a treat, I think, for the listeners to hear Krista's take on the sorts of questions she puts to others. Keep an eye on the Cathedral's site for video. (We'll be getting a copy as well for possible posting here.) Also very nice to meet and work with our friends at WAMU on this visit, especially Andrea Travis, who really helped make it a fine event.
I enjoy the reporting of Sylvia Poggioli, NPR's veteran European correspondent. She was formerly known in my household as "The Pope Reporter" because I often had the radio on when her stories on Pope John Paul II aired. (She was a guest on our program on the religious legacy of the late pontiff).
Krista and I head out tomorrow for D.C. where we have another event in our 2008 World Tour, at the National Cathedral's Sunday Forum. Our travels are exciting, and by far and away the best thing about them is meeting our listeners. It's just an amazing gift. The event is at 10 am Sunday February 3rd, and is free and open. See you there!
Our managing producer takes a snapshot of the live event at New York Public Library and who showed up to talk about play.

A few weeks ago, Mr. Rogers came up at one of our production meetings, and Krista mentioned that she would have loved to interview him if he were still alive. I remember reading somewhere that Fred Rogers's original intention in creating a television show was to try to find a space in TV broadcasting for grace.
Not a few days had passed when an episode of Mr. Rogers appeared on my family's Tivo as a suggestion. I don't know if PBS has just recently begun rebroadcasting the show, but I decided to see if my kids could connect with him, considering that they watch almost nothing but cartoons.
Tom Stoppard's new play "Rock-n-Roll" is getting mixed reviews here, but tickets are scarce, so I was thrilled when my friend Chris scored some for us. This is Stoppard's chronicle of the intersection of pop culture and politics in then-Czechoslovakia's Velvet Revolution.
Stoppard, I learned from the program notes, was born in the Czech town of Zlin, where I — highly coincidentally — have a close friend, Hannah, who grew up there. Hannah, much younger than Stoppard, is a devout Catholic, for theological and political reasons (the Catholic Church was a staunch form of dissidence in parts of the East bloc).

Daily Item
---- — It will finally happen.
In the 29th season of his storied head coaching career, Southern Columbia's Jim Roth will coach against one of his ex-players tonight when former Tigers star fullback Jay Drumheller brings his undefeated Muncy Indians to Tiger Stadium to take on his undefeated alma mater.
Roth has coached against teams that had former players as assistant coaches -- in fact another former Tiger, lineman Mark Kreisher, a 1999 graduate, is Muncy's offensive line coach.
Drumheller ran for 4,111 yards, still fourth-best in school history (his 42 touchdowns rank sixth), culminating in the 1983 season when the senior helped the Tigers win the first major football championship for a school that just a few years prior had considered dropping the sport in favor of soccer.
Roth said, "It's nice to see guys go on and get involved in coaching. When people ask me, because of all the years I've been doing this, what the difference is today compared to years ago, I say there are fewer and fewer kids that are highly committed to the sport and become very dedicated and have that heart and desire that propels them to go on and play at the next level and maybe get involved in coaching.
"It is nice to see (the Indians) having success. Obviously they are doing well this year at 4-0."
Drumheller spent two years at Shikellamy -- one with the junior high and one with the varsity under head coach Larry Richardson -- before moving on to Muncy. There he was an assistant for head coach Bob Wolfe for two years, then 16 more with head coach Scott McLean. Drumheller moved up to the head coach position last year after McLean retired.
"This is a homecoming for me. It is neat coming back and seeing people I know." He said in his previous visits (as an assistant), people came up to him and welcomed him back, but smiled and told him they would not be rooting for him.
Drumheller is glad that the Tigers have continued to flourish under Roth. He recalled that as a freshman, the Tigers went winless; in his sophomore year, they didn't score a point until they won in Week 5 to end a 26-game losing streak.
"After that, things came around," he said, noting that some great athletes came through, including Greg Halladay, Bill Freeman and John Fulmer.
He said that what really turned around the program was Roth's implementation of weight training.
The Tigers went 4-5-1 his sophomore season, 9-3 the next and then won the EC title at 12-1 in 1983.
Not only was the future Tigers head coach the defensive coordinator (Roth became head coach in 1984), Drumheller recalled that, in the days before the advent of full-time athletic trainers, Roth also served in that capacity.
"He was taping and taking care of injuries; he spent a lot of time working on shoulders, bruises. I can remember being in various rooms and he'd be down there in a T-shirt taping everyone. He took care of the medical aspects. He did a good job of rehabbing kids, taking care of ankles for me. He kept my body good enough that I could play from week to week," Drumheller said.
Drumheller said the most important thing he learned from Roth that carries with him was his demand for mental toughness.
In a related side note, I pointed out in a recent column that, during its game with visiting Mount Carmel, Southern honored its 1983 EC championship team. In fact, it was the 1988 EC champs, the first and only EC title won by Roth as a head coach.
ANOTHER REUNION: In addition to the renewal of acquaintances in Elysburg, another reunion is set for Friday night at newly dedicated Glenn Ressler Field at Eagle Stadium. There, former Line Mountain lineman and head coach Todd Rothermel, the first-year head coach at Newport, will take on the Eagles, led by first-year head coach Rodney Knock. The latter was Rothermel's quarterback in his first season at the helm in Mandata, the fall of 2005.
Knock said, "When I saw Todd got the job, I was happy. He's a real good coach and he knows his stuff. He is going to have his kids prepared and he is a real good guy overall."
"When I first came here and started coaching with all the coaches who coached me in high school, it was a little bit of a transition period. You looked at them as coaches and now you're a colleague. It is different."
Rothermel joked this week. "It makes me feel old."
He said, "Rodney is a very serious young man, he always was serious, and I'm proud of him that he got into coaching. We need good coaches to mold our kids of today. I think it's great that he's down there."
He had nothing but praise for the Eagles' staff, many of whom he either coached as players or coached with on the staff. Among his former Eagle players are current staff members Ryan Feger, Brian Wetzel and Bryan Martz.
He said the thing he loved about coaching at his alma mater was the stability of the staff.
"We always had a group of guys who understood what needed to be done. Generally when they met to plan for games, there were not any questions when they were leaving the meeting because they had all done it for all those years," he said.

Fair-weather Federalism 3-30-07 - MP3
There is a longstanding debate on the appropriate division of power between the Federal Government and the various state governments. The debate has intensified as commerce and social interactions have become increasingly regional and then national. But what principles should guide the determination of whether the Federal or state governments govern? And is the answer consistent regardless of the area of regulation – that is, do the principles apply in the same manner to environmental regulation, the federalization of crime, marriage, and business regulation? These and other important federalism questions will be discussed by our panelists.
Panelists include:
- Dr. Michael S. Greve, American Enterprise Institute
- Mr. Douglas T. Kendall, Community Rights Counsel
- Hon. Theodore B. Olson, Gibson, Dunn & Crutcher LLP
- Prof. Jonathan R. Turley, George Washington University Law School
- Hon. David M. McIntosh, Mayer, Brown, Rowe & Maw LLP (Moderator)

text: These are the first words that evangelist Dr. Bob Jones Sr., heard when he announced he was going to start a Christian college. His response was, "I know I can't, but God can!" Thus began Bob Jones College, later to become Bob Jones University, a school that has affected the lives of tens of thousands of young people and that for 75 years has been an ensign for fundamentalist Christianity throughout the world. Standing Without Apology, now available in a special 75th anniversary edition, is more than an account of one man's unflinching resolve, it is the true story of a modern-day servant who caught God's vision, answered God's call, and trusted God to do a work far above and beyond himself.

|Iowa Routs Seahawks In Season Opener
IOWA CITY, Iowa – Iowa used its decided size advantage and deep bench to race out to an early margin and cruise to an 82-39 victory over UNCW in the 2013-14 men's basketball season opener for Buzz Peterson's club.
The Seahawks, making a season-opening swing to America's heartland, visit Iowa State Sunday for a 1 p.m., EST, pairing with the Cyclones of the Big 12 Conference at Hilton Coliseum in Ames.
In the first meeting between the two clubs late Friday, the Hawkeyes jumped out to a big lead and poured it on to delight a crowd of 15,293 at black and gold Carver-Hawkeye Arena.
"We just could not make a basket," said fourth-year UNCW Head Coach Buzz Peterson. "They took us out of our offense in the first half and we tried to attack it with dribble drives. When that starts to happen, everything snowballs.
"When the ball's not falling, everything dominos on the other end. We're a better ball club that we showed tonight. Iowa is a good basketball team, though, and they're going to make some noise in the Big Ten."
Sophomore transfer Jarrod Uthoff came off the bench to lead three Hawkeyes in double figures with 14 points on 5-of-8 shooting, Freshman guard Peter Jok and senior forward Aaron White added 11 and 10 points for Iowa, which bolted out to a 48-12 cushion at intermission.
Junior forward Cedrick Williams led all scorers with 15 points and added nine rebounds in a solid opening game for UNCW. Junior transfer Addison Spruill added 10 points in a reserve role for the Seahawks.
The Hawkeyes, ranked in the preseason top-25 in some polls, jumped on the cold shooting Seahawks quickly and capitalized on 13 first-half turnovers for a comfortable 26-point advantage at intermission. UNCW shot just 19.2 percent in the first 20 minutes and finished at 22.2 percent on 16-of-72 field goals on the night.
Fran McCaffery's team scored the first nine points of the contest before Williams got the Seahawks on the board with a jumper at the 15:41 mark of the first period. But the Seahawks made just three of their first 16 field goal attempts to trail, 25-7, at the first media time out and the lead ballooned to 34-7 after the Hawkeyes completed a 24-3 run.
Iowa led, 35-12, with just over three minutes left in the first half and closed out the frame by scoring the final 13 points, including a triple by Roy Devyn Marble in the front of the Seahawk bench as time expired in the first half for a commanding 48-12 lead.
The Hawkeyes stretched the lead to as many as 47 points before the final verdict. A jump shot by Jok with 6:30 on the clock gave Iowa a 73-26 bulge before the Seahawks whittled away at the large lead in the final six minutes.
Williams, a third-year player from Murfreesboro, Tenn., was a bright spot for the Seahawks. He scored on a variety of shots, despite being in foul trouble most of the night. The 6-9 forward even drained his first career 3-pointer at the 8:20 mark of the first half with a laser from the right wing.
GAME NOTES: Iowa scored 42 of its 82 points in the paint…The Hawkeye bench contributed 49 points…UNCW had 13 turnovers in the first half, but committed just one miscue after the break…Cedrick Williams went 6-of-8 from the floor and the rest of the team connected on only 10-of-64 field goals…The Seahawks were a frosty 2-of-23 behind the arc…Iowa was whistled for just 10 personal fouls…All 11 players that dressed saw action and seven scored…UNCW's three starting guards went a combined 3-for-24....The Seahawks dropped to 20-18 in season openers since turnover Division I in 1976-77…Coach Buzz Peterson now stands 1-3 in season openers during his four seasons at UNCW….Iowa had seven dunks in the rout.

The headwear of choice at A Detacher's F/W 12 show was a pom-pom hat, and we particularly loved how the delightfully quirky topper accented a plaid tunic layered over matching pants, offering a whimsical approach to cold-weather dressing.
A knit beanie adorned with a fuzzy pom-pom adds youthful charm to your look. It's a perfectly playful accompaniment to a graphic sweatshirt and blue jeans.
Our picks:
Michael Kors Two Tone Pom Pom Skull Hat ($40)
Gap Reverse Fair Isle Hat ($20)
Marc by Marc Jacobs Trompe L'oeil Beanie ($78)
Menswear-inspired trends are still strong this season, so style a dapper, short-brim fedora with a crisp oxford shirt tucked into tailored trousers. The resulting outfit smacks of understated cool.
Our picks:
Tory Burch Fashion Trilby ($135)
Ann Taylor Silk Twill Band Fedora ($40) in Rich Pomegranate
Maison Michel Sean Studded Felt Fedora ($905)
In offbeat prints and rich textures, these aren't your average Little League baseball cap. Juxtapose a sporty chapeau with a sweet, feminine dress for an intriguing contrast.
Our picks:
ASOS 2 Tone Cap ($27)
Supreme Patchwork Suede Back Arc Hat ($60) in Turquoise
Kenzo x New Era Fitted Hat ($60)
A polished, wide-brimmed topper adds a dash of panache to a casual outfit, so team yours with a worn-in denim jacket and skater skirt for a chic weekend uniform.

The state has partnered with the Wisconsin Broadcasters Association to produce and distribute brief radio address from Gov. Scott Walker once a week. Audio files and a written transcript of this radio address can be accessed online. To download an mp3 file you can visit Walker's website, right click the radio address link and click "save link as."
Here is the transcript from this Thursday's radio address, which is titled More Job Growth:
This week, we saw another example of how we're turning things around in Wisconsin and why we're headed in the right direction. I was proud to announce that Connecture, Inc. a software company currently based in Atlanta Georgia, One hundred high-paying professional technology jobs will result from this move over the next three years.
Information about the open positions and recruiting open houses can be found at www.conjecture.com/jobs or by calling 262-522-4815.
Adding Connecture to the state's economy will build off of our hub of medical technology development and innovation. Wisconsin has many great assets to offer employers from other states: dedicated and hardworking employees, a state government that supports private sector growth, a great infrastructure network - just to name a few.
This is just one of the many good stories taking place in Wisconsin. We are working tirelessly to recruit and retain employers who can provide our people with good-paying, family sustaining jobs.
Moving forward, I will continue to advance pro-growth policies that help employers create jobs. I am optimistic that we will be able to attract more jobs by encouraging other businesses to relocate in our great state.
Employers who relocate to Wisconsin not only help those who directly obtain a job with the company, but also serve as a supply chain for other businesses and ultimately result in increased economic activity for area communities.
Working together, we can get our state working again. We can move Wisconsin forward.

---- — PERU — Henrietta P. "Pat" Williams, 95, formerly of Apple Valley Drive, Peru, died Tuesday, Oct. 8, 2013 at the Clinton County Nursing Home in Plattsburgh.
She was born in Albany, August 18, 1918, the daughter of John G. and Henrietta (Herter) Peters.
Pat was a graduate of Albany High School, class of 1935. After graduation, she attended Mildred Elley, a private business school, and was a member of Theta Rho, which was the girls junior order of the I.O.O.F. She was later a member of one of the adult orders.
During World War II, Pat worked for the Federal Government and was first assigned to O.P.S. in Albany. After the company moved to Syracuse and before Major A.W. Merriam was transferred to Washington, D.C., he gave Pat a recommendation to Colonel William H. Boughton, who was Executive officer in charge of NYS Selective Service. Colonel Boughton hired Pat as his secretary. As work slowed, and the war was ending, Pat also worked for Colonel Francis Roddy, Operations Officer. After the war ended, and Major Merriam retired, Pat began working for him at A. Wayne Merriam, Inc., which was a wholesale dealer in General Electric appliances, located in Albany, NY. Pat worked with him until he passed away. She was then able to get an appointment in the office of Lt. Gov. of N.Y. where she worked until she retired. Pat married her husband, Nelson J. Williams, Sunday, Sept. 5, 1948 in St. Pauls English Lutheran Church, Rensselaer, NY. Pat retired from secretarial work in 1953, after the birth of their daughter, Joanne.
After Joanne started school, Pat volunteered for Visiting Nurses, American Red Cross, and Child's Hospital in Albany. She was a Girl Scout leader, a member of the Eastern Star, past president of St. Paul's Episcopal Women, past president of Ladies Guild, Peru Community Church, as well as an active member for several years in the Ladies Guild. Pat enjoyed reading, crossword puzzles and the activities of her grandsons. Pat was an avid bowler.
Pat is survived by her son-in-law, Allan Stafford of Plattsburgh; grandsons, John Nelson Stafford of Peru, and Michael Lee Stafford and his companion Jessica Bernard of Morrisonville; and several cousins.
In addition to her parents and husband, she was predeceased by her daughter, Joanne Stafford; and brother, retired U.S. Navy Chief Petty Officer, John G. Peters, Jr.
At Henrietta's request there will be no public calling hours. A memorial service will be held at 10 a.m. Saturday, Oct. 12, 2013 at the Peru Community Church. Burial will be private and at the convenience of the family in God's Acre Cemetery in Peru.
Donations in her memory may be made to the Peru Community Church Building Fund.
Arrangements are in the care of the Hamilton Funeral Home, 294 Mannix Road, Peru.

"Gothic Kitty" creator Holly Crawford has been sentenced to six months of house arrest for using a 14-gauge needle to pierce the ears, necks and tails of three kittens and then attempting to sell the maimed felines over the Internet. The 35-year-old Pennsylvania woman was further ordered to close her dog grooming business for at least two years. Despite opposition from concerned citizens, the judge ruled in favor of allowing Crawford to maintain guardianship over her other pets, including a dog, three cats and three snakes.
Crawford was initially charged after a tip led humane investigators and the state police to her home on December 17, 2008. Investigators found and seized three kittens wearing heavy piercing jewelry on their ears, necks and tails. At least one of the kittens had a thick elastic band wrapped around his tail to prevent blood flow, as a means of docking it.
Despite arguments that Crawford used sterile needles and surgical soap when piercing the kittens, a Luzerne County jury found her guilty of animal cruelty. Helping to seal the conviction was expert testimony from the ASPCA's leading forensics veterinarian, Dr. Melinda Merck, who testified that the kittens had been maimed and disfigured, had their hearing damaged, and could have died.
"I was very happy to work with the Luzerne County District Attorney's Office on this case of abuse," says Dr. Merck. "The idea of mutilating animals in such a way for profit is appalling, I am glad justice was served."
If you know of an animal who is being hurt, please report it. To report animal cruelty in New York City, call the ASPCA's tip line at (877) THE-ASPCA. Visit our Report Cruelty FAQ to learn how to report cruelty elsewhere.
This is simply awful to do this to these poor babies, and then try to make a profit out of them; how cruel. The judge should have not allowed her to have any type of animals in her possession. What makes the judge believe she won't torture another again? Bad judgment.
a judge should judge by what is right---whats wrong with piecing a pet.. and why shut down her buisness. when she has done nothing wrong--this is communism
Communism? that may be the most foolish thing I've heard in a while - did you not read the part where a veterinarian said that the animals were disfigured and could have died...and only for cosmetic purposes?
Pets need piercing as much as fish need bicycles. When you find a pet that can read, comprehend and sign a consent form then I will support it's piercing. Please, Brian M., don't ever adopt a pet.
What's wrong with it? Did the animals consent to such treatment? of course not as they can not. So they were put through the pain of piercings for cosmetic purposes only? I bet you also think it's okay to have sex with an animal as long as the animal doesn't say no.
Better not ever tag an animal for any reason (inventory control, conservation, tracking, ect) again then either because those animals didn't consent to it either. Also its akin NSA privacy invasions to track an animal without its consent too! I say we need to remove all the electronic tags from the animals because they never consented. Also we should never spay and neuter them as they didn't consent to that either!!!!!!!!
you shouldn't have concerns about the judge shutting down her business because what dog owner in their right minds would trust her to groom their dog after this? she put herself out of business. People CHOOSE to pierce themselves, these kittens didn't have a choice. They also don't have the self contrtol to know when they risk hurting themselves by tearing out one of the piercings when they do what cats do, play......and I'm not that big fan of cats....and isn't it odd she didn't do it to her own pets??? obviously not or she wouldn't be allowed to keep them...
Communism? Pffft. Everyone knows the US is all Socialist.
I'm not sure that you understand what communism means...

Erb's Palsy (also known as brachial plexus palsy) can sometimes be caused by medical negligence. Understand your options, and how Sokolove Law can help.
Erb's Palsy, also known as brachial plexus palsy, is caused by injury to the network of nerves around the shoulder, called the brachial plexus. This childbirth injury may be the result of medical negligence when there is excessive pulling of the baby's head during delivery. Symptoms of Erb's Palsy are usually evident soon after birth.
The prognosis for Erb's Palsy can vary based on the severity of the injury. Most babies suffer a mild stretching of the nerve and will recover within three to six months. However more severe cases may require treatment by specialists. Those children who do not recover have a poor outlook. In these severe cases there may be a complete separation of the nerve root from the spinal cord (avulsion).
Persistent cases of Erb's Palsy may result in:
The following are good resources for information on Erb's Palsy:
Erb's Palsy is a birth injury sometimes caused by medical malpractice. A lawyer experienced with Erb's Palsy causes can determine if there is a case for an Erb's Palsy malpractice lawsuit, which may lead to a financial settlement.

More than 50 Bay Area female movers and shakers gathered at the Rosewood Sand Hill in Menlo Park for a sneak preview with 11 of the hundreds of remarkable women who are the stars in the upcoming documentary, "MAKERS: Women Who Make America," a digital video and broadcast initiative co-produced by PBS and AOL.
"I hope we become visible to each other... There are so many women's stories that have not been told... pursue those stories, notice the abscenses," said the evening's hit special guest, activist Gloria Steinem, who is herself a MAKER profiled in the documentary. "The human experience is not complete if everyone around the campfire is not heard."
Over cocktails and hors d'oeuvres the guests mingled Tuesday night with Steinem and some of the Makers from the Bay Area, including blogger and entrepreneur Lisa Stone, social software entrepreneur Gina Bianchini, non profit healthcare advocate Jane Chen, social innovator Priya Haji, designer and engineer Heather Fleming, Aileen Hernandez, food educator Amanda Haas, Third Wave Foundation co-founder Amy Richards, filmaker Tiffany Shlain, Futures Without Violence founder Esta Soler and teen advocate Whitney Smith.
Maureen Sullivan, AOL's Chief Marketing Officer, said she hoped the film would inspire a new generation of young women to join these trailblazers and make history too.
In their announcement of the project, AOL and PBS said MAKERS originated from a very clear premise: over the last half century, the work of millions of women has altered virtually every aspect of American culture. The MAKERS platform tells the story of these exceptional women — both famous and heretofore unknown individuals — whose pioneering contributions continue to shape the world in which we live.
Makers profiles Supreme Court Justices, Secretaries of State and CEOs, athletes, activists and entertainers. All are groundbreakers who have sparked change, been firsts-in-their-fields, and paved the way for those who followed. The richness of the MAKERS initiative extends beyond profiling these incredible groundbreakers to tell the stories of hundreds of women who are driving and realizing social change today, AOL and PBS said. MAKERS draws on the archival and narrative possibilities of a digital video experience to create a new way to explore these women's stories and highlight a new generation of women whose impact is just beginning to be felt and understood.
"Partnering together to bring MAKERS to life is exactly the type of future-forward programming we believe in," Tim Armstrong, Chairman and CEO of AOL, said in the statement. "By spotlighting some of the most inspirational women in our nation's history, MAKERS will tell the comprehensive story of how women have advanced in America during the last half century."
"I hope that the MAKERS project will become the seminal record of women's achievement, and inspire a new generation of leaders," Paula A. Kerger, President and CEO of PBS, said in the statement. "PBS and our member stations are proud to support this celebration and dialogue about the role of women in our society."
Many of the stories and profiles are already up on MAKERS.com, an AOL-developed interactive video platform, along with a host of other resources and a blog. PBS will also launch a companion site at pbs.org/MAKERS, featuring select MAKERS stories and information on the upcoming documentary.
The project is founded by filmmaker Dyllan McGee, who said the documentary will air in February 2013.
Executive Producers are Dyllan McGee, Betsy West and Peter Kunhardt, who worked in consultation with a team of advisors to select the groundbreaking MAKERS featured, and Dalton Delan, Executive Producer for WETA. The documentary is produced by Kunhardt McGee Productions, Storyville Films and WETA Washington, D.C., in association with Ark Media. Foundation funding is provided by The Charles H. Revson Foundation, NoVo Foundation, Ford Foundation, John S. and James L. Knight Foundation, Carnegie Corporation of New York, The Rice Family Foundation, and The Rockefeller Foundation and others.

Going to incorporate reverse bands back into my regime on Friday as part of my HCT-12 routine so trying to plan out my sets so that I don't miss any of my ramp sets. Wondering what doubled monster mini's would give me at the bottom on my reverse band lifts. Any estimates?
Best lifts
Bench Raw 560 Equipped 725 single ply
Deadlift 750
You're probably just going to have to see for yourself. Just hang a bar in the bands and keep adding weight to the bar until it hangs down far enough (for BP or SQ) or reaches the floor (for DL). When the bar reaches the desired level, see how much weight is on the bar and that is how much is being de-loaded. I don't really know exactly how tall my power rack is and I've never used monster mini's for reverse band work, so I can't really make any estimations.

I think the ratio that quantifies the coefficient of x over y squared is equal to "Who cares?" No offense I'm just having some fun. I am betting a lot of guys are going to agree with me. Just do whatever you do with them and next make sure to add more weight or reps. No rocket science here. SFW!
Supplements I currently take: Nitrean , BCAA , Creatine 500 , Multi-Plus , Fish Oil

More than a mini, less than a light band. Not every band is equal so just do like Vincent said.
Best unequipped meet lifts - 120kg Open class
Sq: 629lbs
Bp: 330lbs
Dl: 585lbs
Training since Dec 2008.
Honestly, I just keep records for each band/rack combo that I use. Then I lift. I've never used less than a light/purple band.
Also, you say "doubled" so I would think that would take off quite a lot. Normally you just choke bands at the top of the rack and then loop the other end over the bar. I would be concerned that doubling the bands might yank the bar out of the hooks at light weights. Be very careful that doesn't happen.
750/500/690 APF Elite @ 242
Bench Only - Multi Ply SPF - 600 @ 275 (251)
Bench Only - Single Ply USAPL - 501 @ 275 (255)
Bench Only - Single Ply SPF - 550 @ 259 (257)
I would not double them, just run the pins through the bands or choke the bands at the top of the power rack.
To find out on deadlifts is easy just load the bar till it is weightless on the floor and the weight on the bar is how much it deloads.
When I have done reverse monsters for deads I run the pins through the bands at 5'6" and the deload is approx 45lbs, same set up with average bands 100.
Squat briefs only 625 @ 210

Courier Staff Writer
Officials in Washington say they're unhappy with a Department of Labor directive to temporarily stop accepting new Job Corps students — a decision that could impact jobs locally.
"As a longtime supporter of Job Corps, I am disappointed that new student enrollments have been suspended," said U.S. Sen. Tom Harkin, D-Iowa, in a statement to the Courier.
For the remainder of the current fiscal year, students who graduate from the job skills program will not be replaced by new students because of a freeze implemented at all Job Corps facilities by the Department of Labor. The Ottumwa center is designed for 300 students and was slowly ramping up its numbers since its opening in July 2011. Currently, there are roughly 230 students enrolled at the Ottumwa facility. But with the enrollment freeze, the facility's student numbers could dwindle to about 150 students by July.
If that happens, it's doubtful the Job Corps centers, including Ottumwa, could sustain all of its employees, lawmakers say.
U.S. Rep. Jim Langevin, D-R.I., co-chairman of the bipartisan Congressional Career and Technical Education Caucus, expressed "strong concern" over the Department of Labor's plan to freeze new enrollment at Job Corps.
"The ... decision to suspend student enrollment at all Job Corps centers will not only be detrimental to students, it will have a significant negative impact on staff and local economies. Many centers across the country will be forced to lay off a significant portion of their staffs, and this is far from what these communities need as they are still struggling to recover from unprecedented unemployment and economic instability," he said.
U.S. Rep. Dave Loebsack, D-Iowa City, implied there's a chance to turn things around.
"I am hopeful that the Department of Labor will continue to work with the contractors that run the centers to address the budget shortfalls and improve national Job Corps efficiency," he said in a statement to the Courier. "The Ottumwa Job Corps has been a great partner with the community, and I am working with the Department of Labor to find a way to address the situation that is favorable to Iowa students."
Harkin, however, seemed a little less hopeful for this year.
"Unfortunately, cost overruns have forced the Department of Labor to take extreme measures to fill a [financial] shortfall in the program. I'm looking forward to doing everything I can to work with the new Secretary of Labor to ensure that a shortfall of this sort never happens again," he said.
Harkin called Job Corps "a lifeline for at-risk youth and gives them a second chance to get the education and skills they need to succeed in the workplace and in life."
Officials at the local center said they could not comment and referred all media questions on such policy and funding issues to the Department of Labor's Office of Public Affairs, which oversees the Job Corps program.
In an email sent to community members on Thursday, Ottumwa Area Chamber of Commerce Director Terry McNitt encouraged the community to throw its support behind the local Job Corps facility, noting in part there are more than 100 good-paying jobs at the facility, which is located near the Ottumwa Regional Airport.
He said in his opinion, there are some government programs that seem like handouts with little measurable improvement for recipients.
In the Job Corps program, however, young people — often good kids with rough backgrounds — get an education in an in-demand job skill under the guidance of Job Corps staff. So instead of taking government handouts, McNitt said, these young people are getting jobs and paying taxes.
"If you have spoken to or worked with some of the students at our Job Corps, they are inspiring, thankful, dedicated," he said.
"We worked so hard in the region for over 10 years to get this Job Corps facility ... so now we need to step up and do whatever it takes to keep it funded and in operation."

With milk chocolate, some of the cocoa solids are replaced by milk solids (dried or condensed milk), giving it a sweeter taste and smoother texture than dark chocolate. In the UK (and Ireland) the legal definition for 'milk chocolate' differs from that of the rest of Europe. In the UK (and Ireland) 'milk chocolate' must contain a minimum of 20% cocoa solids and 20% milk solids that include at least 5% milk fat. In the rest of Europe, this product is known as 'family milk chocolate', while 'milk chocolate' needs to have a minimum of 25% cocoa solids and 14% milk solids that include at least 3.5% milk fat.
When sourcing your milk chocolate you should look for brands that contain high percentages of cocoa solids and real vanilla - the fewer chemicals and additional materials the better.
Keep milk chocolate in a cool, dry place for about six months (it will still taste okay after this time, but will not melt as well if kept any longer).
Type the ingredients you want to use, then click Go. For better results you can use quotation marks around phrases (e.g. "chicken breast"). Alternatively you can search by chef, programme, cuisine, diet, or dish (e.g. Lasagne).

Armitage brace powers Toulon past Montpellier

Toulon kicked off their Heineken Cup campaign in style with a 37-16 bonus point victory over Montpellier at the Stade Mayol on Sunday night.
Fullback Delon Armitage led the way with two tries and fly-half Jonny Wilkinson notched 10 points with the boot as Bernard Laporte's side powered to the top of Pool 6 and sounded a warning to their European rivals. First half tries from flanker Pierrick Gunther and lock Bakkies Botha put the hosts in control of the contest against their under-strength Top 14 rivals with replacement centre Mathieu Bastareaud setting the seal on the win three minutes from time.
Llian Perraux opened the scoring after Wilkinson failed to roll away from a ruck but the Toulon playmaker quickly made amends with a penalty of his own before creating the opening try for Gunther with a perfectly-weighted grubber kick.
The home side hammered home their dominance on the half hour following a sweeping counter-attack sparked by Delon Armitage. The England international linked up with winger Vincent Martin who release Botha and the veteran second row dummied Montpellier fullback Pierre Berard for a try on his Heineken Cup debut, which Wilkinson converted.
Wilkinson kept the scoreboard ticking but Montpellier began the second-half in similar fashion to the first, with a Perraux penalty. But it only served to spark Toulon back into life with Delon Armitage cruising over and he completed his brace just past the hour mark with Wilkinson converting.
Replacement Mamuka Gorgodze hit-back for Montpellier in the final ten minutes and Benoit Pailaugue added the extras but it was too little too late and Toulon had the final word with a try from Bastareaud, converted by Matt Giteau.

Posted Tuesday, December 18, 2012 --- 11:53 a.m.
Press Release from the Dane Co. Sheriff's Office:
Madison, WI. December 18, 2012 – Dane County Sheriff's deputies are investigating a pole barn burglary on USH 51 in the town of Albion.
Approximately $1500.00 worth of copper, $600.00 worth of tools, and a catalytic converter valued at $400.00 were stolen. The victim believes the theft happened sometime between Sunday night and Monday evening. The thieves entered the pole barn by breaking a window on the backside of the building.
Metal theft is an ongoing issue for law enforcement. From 2001 to 2008, the price of copper increased by more than 500 percent. Thieves are able to get quick cash from copper, making it an easy target for criminals.
Anyone with information on this burglary is asked to call the Dane County tip line at (608) 284-6900.

Obama Ad Blasts Romney's Time At Bain Capital
By Mara Liasson
Originally published on Tue May 15, 2012 7:51 am
The Obama re-election committee on Monday released a two-minute ad taking aim at Republican rival Mitt Romney's record at the private equity firm Bain Capital. The ad challenges Romney's claim that his business experience qualifies him to turn the economy around.

With another dangerous deadline for the economy approaching, Tuesday's election returned to power the same men who have battled for two years over the nation's budget problems: President Obama and House Speaker John A. Boehner (Ohio).
The president and the most powerful Republican in Washington hold the keys to any deal to tame the national debt. And as they prepare to go another round, the political winds have shifted in Obama's favor.

Driving by gas stations in Novato looking for a cheap price? That's going to be harder to find this week after gas prices spiked by as much as 30 cents at some stations after a fire forced the shutdown of an Exxon refinery in Torrance on Monday.
The refinery, which produces 150,000 barrels of gas a day during regular production, lost power Monday and was forced to shut down a pipeline that supplies crude oil to Bay Area refineries.
"Whenever there's the perception of less of a supply of gas, prices go up," said Cynthia Harris of AAA.
Adding to pain at the pump, according to Harris, is the fact that the Chevron refinery in Richmond is not yet back at full speed after a fire in August. A report by Bloomberg said the refinery is expecting to continue repairs this week.
Harris expects that the dramatic increase in gas prices will be temporary and they should settle down within the next week or two. In the meantime, expect similar or even higher prices this weekend.
On the news of the Torrance refinery shutdown, wholesale gas prices jumped 30 cents overnight. Prices for crude oil, however, are hovering just below $90, a drop from earlier this year.
"Gas is cheaper to produce and purchase normally at this time of year. We're getting into our winter mix," Harris said. "It's a little unusual to pay so much. We tend to pay less for gas at this time of year. But in the end, it's the traders who determine the price."

White House Press Secretary Gibbs takes swipe at Cheney, 'Republican cabal'
CNN) White House Press Secretary Robert Gibbs took a slap at Dick Cheney Monday, likening the former vice president to controversial talk-radio host Rush Limbaugh. The comments came at the White House daily briefing, during which Gibbs dismissed Cheney's statement Sunday on CNN that several of President Obama's policies had left the country less safe.
"Well, I guess Rush Limbaugh was busy, so they trotted out the next most popular member of the Republican cabal," he said. "I would say that the president has made quite clear that keeping the American people safe and secure is the job is the most serious job that he has each and every day.
On CNN's State of The Union with John King Sunday, Cheney defended the Bush administration's policies on the handling of enemy combatants.
"I think those programs were absolutely essential to the success we enjoy, of being able to collect the intelligence that let us defeat all further attempts to launch attacks against the United States since 9/11," he said. "I think it's a great success story. It was done legally, it was done in accordance with our constitutional practices and principles "
Gibbs later dialed back his comments, after being asked by a reporter if the sarcasm was the official White House "sanctioned tone" toward the vice president.
"Some times I ask forgiveness, rather than for permission," he said. "I hope my sarcasm didn't mask the seriousness of the answer that for seven plus years the very perpetrators that the vice president says he's concerned about weren't brought to justice."

Homemade Floor Cleaner
How do you make homemade floor cleaner? Any recipes?
Depends on Floor Type
The homemade floor cleaner depends on the type of floor. I use a cup of white vinegar in the mop bucket full of warm water for my sealed hardwood, because it doesn't leave a residue. Make sure to dry it right away! I use an old towel wrapped around a dry mop head.
I just use water and a microfibre mop on my tiles, except for spot cleaning, where I use dish soap on a wet rag. For something really greasy or sticky, I use some Simple Green® diluted as indicated on the bottle in a spray bottle. Let sit for a few minutes, then wipe away.
I avoid frequent mopping of the tiles and spot clean for as long as I can, because mopping just pushes the dirty water into the grout and discolors it. I wipe up the spills and spots and then go over with a wrung-out microfibre mop with just warm water.
For showers, I use the regular shower cleaner and a deck brush purchased at the boating supply store. Saves my back! White vinegar also works well on soap scum and mineral buildup. Pour on about a cup full-strength.
Use a Steam Mop
A steam mop is the best floor cleaner I've ever seen. Steam mops come with pads that are washable and reusable. You fill up the mop with water, let it heat up, and start mopping. The steam really cleans dirt and stains off the floor and disinfects without the chemicals.
White Vinegar Does Trick
A great inexpensive floor cleaner is basic white distilled vinegar. Use one cup to a gallon of hot water. It removes detergent build up also.
Easy as…
I use a little liquid soap in a bucket of water with a few drops of essential oil added in for homemade floor cleaner.

Stillwater NewsPress
STILLWATER, Okla. —
When the Stillwater High School softball team went through its offensive struggles in the middle of the year, coach Amber Davis could have easily hit the panic button and reshuffled the lineup.
She didn't, knowing that eventually those losses early in the season would pay off when the Lady Pioneers reached the postseason.
Now Davis' patience has paid off as Stillwater (13-17) opened regional play at Sand Springs against Muskogee (22-10) Wednesday afternoon.
"We're hitting the ball just like I wanted us to end up hitting the ball toward the end of the season," Davis said. "They're just seeing it, hitting it to where it's pitched and we're finally starting to score some runs off of it."
Scoring runs will be crucial for the Lady Pioneers if they want to make an appearance at the state tournament, but Davis said the key has been patience.
"We're definitely hitting our stride," Davis said. "We've worked so hard. We got through the big dogs and we've really been coming together the past three weeks. I think it's going to pay off for them this week."
Davis said it doesn't hurt that her team also feels like it has something to prove after finishing seventh in district play.
"We're coming around," Davis said. "We're hitting the ball well and we're pretty good. The games that we lost were just by a couple of runs here and there. We feel like we're good enough to play with anybody in the state."
The Lady Pioneers are hoping to live up to that hype with a possible meeting against Sand Springs — which beat Stillwater twice in district play. Sand Springs comes in as the No. 1 seed in the tournament and faced Sapulpa Wednesday afternoon.
"It helps a lot knowing that we've played them twice already," Davis said. "Sand Springs is going to be competitive. They have it going on and they're seeded No. 1 for a reason, but I feel like if we come to play it's going to be a great ball game.
"It always helps us to know that we can play with (the top seed in our bracket). We lost a couple of close games to them, so knowing the brackets that we got, we stand a really good chance of competing against them."
For Davis, the goal is pretty simple — get to Thursday's finals. From there, Davis hopes the months of preparation leading up to the postseason will take over.
"Our expectations are to be playing Thursday night in the finals," Davis said. "We had a real good practice (Tuesday) and set some goals. That's about all we can do. Now we just have to take care of business.
"I'm beyond excited at this point," Davis said. "They're ready to really bust out and show everybody what they've been working for since February. We've done it all together and we're hoping to come home with a regional championship on Thursday."

Deciding which integrated amp to power these. One that I like the best has no sub out, while the other does. I'm sure a subwoofer can always help, but how needful?

Deciding which integrated amp to power these. One that I like the best has no sub out, while the other does. I'm sure a subwoofer can always help, but how needful?
well, for HT your gonna miss everything under 50hz, as thats as low as the 3's go. depending on your tastes, if your a basshead, you can't live w/o lfe, be it music or HT. so if your asking me, get a sub and not only take some load off your amp, but enjoy the full freq range
Not a basshead for certain. Mostly classical, jazz, some rock, of course all have bass of some kind. Sub would need to be added later anyway, just figuring out which amp to get if I have to add one later. Haven't looked at possible Polk subs, but sure they have some.
I have had mine for a few months now. My first thought before they arrived was, "OK, now I need to took for a sub.". Well, after a few days with them, I stopped looking. That is just my personal taste. Since you have been asked about your music, etc. I like bass, but am not a basshead by any means. It doesn't sound lean or naked without a sub, put it that way.
The music I listen to varies, and includes jazz, classical, rock, some pop, & blues. You can always wait to try them out, and decide from there. After all, it is your ears that are going to decide. Good question, though!

I have RTi A3's as front speakers and a CSi A6 center. No surrounds yet. I think they sounded good, but I just added a subwoofer last night and everything is much fuller.
Even I have the RTi A3 & the bass is quite good but being a basshead I added a System Audio SE 200 Sub & it blended very well with the A3's
Subwoofers privide the cues for a sence of space that can transform a system from simply sounding good to sounding uncannily "Real". When the funds permit pick up a quality sub or better yet...two. You'll be in awe of how good your system can really sound.

You do not say if this is for HT or music. But you always have the option to use the speaker level inputs available on many subs. Which used to be the Polk prefered method, not sure about nowadays.
Jump down to "speaker level inputs"
Former RTiA3 owner here......
Obviously, you do not HAVE to run a sub with the RTiA3s, but as others have noted, as I did, the RTiA3 benefit from a sub - even for music at lower to mid level volumes.
And if you are set on the int amp that you have your eyes on - then the suggestion above using speaker level inputs would work fine.
H9: If you don't trust what you are hearing, then maybe you need to be less invested in a hobby which all the pleasure comes from listening to music.
I run a sub with my RTiA3s and they sound fantastic. When I shut the sub off the overall sound quality diminishes significantly. Thus, I definitely recommend a sub.
Panasonic TC-P65ST30 (65" HD 3D), OPPO BDP-95 Blu-ray, Denon AVR 4310CI, Parasound A23, Carver AV-705X, Polk RTi A7, CSi A4, FXi A4, & RTi A3, Klipsch Sub 12 (Saving for an SVS), Panamax M5100
I agree with the others that a sub is needed. it just fills in the sound a lot smoother in my opinion.
Front - RTiA5's
Rear - RTiA3's
Center - CSiA4
Sub - PSW110
x2 on what Erik said.
I'm a former owner as well, and even after they broke in I still missed having the last octave or so which they obviously can't reproduce. If I were you, I'd go for a 12" with at least a few hundred watts RMS to back them up. If you decide on the pre without the subwoofer out, you can either use your pre's line-out, or the subwoofer's speaker-level in. You're really gonna want those low fundamentals that you'll miss out on with the A3s alone.
Which integrateds are you looking at?
