The perfect game where everyone is a winner! Prior to the party wrap up small toys in several layers of tissue or wrapping paper just like a cocoon. Have everyone sit in a circle and instruct them to pass the present when the music starts. Whoever is holding the present when the music stops gets to unwrap a layer. This continues until each guest has a gift.
Have one less chair them there are players available for this game. Prior to the game you and your child can make flowers out of coffee filters. Paint the coffee filters, once they are dry scrunch them up and tape them to the chairs to make a garden. Arrange the chairs in a circle once you are ready to play. Be sure to leave enough space between each chair for walking. Turn on some fun party music, and instead of having the players simply walk around the outside of the circle have them flutter like butterflies. When the music stops the little butterflies race to sit on a flower. The player left without a flower leaves the game. You then remove one chair and repeat until there is only one player left. The winner receives a small prize.
Bake cake as directed on package in the butterfly cake pan. Let cake cool completely and remove from pan. Frost the butterfly body with chocolate frosting. Empty vanilla frosting into a bowl and add 2 drops of red food coloring to make the frosting pink. Frost the butterfly wings with pink frosting.

By Dan Gallagher, MarketWatch
SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) — Black Friday appeared to draw bargain investors to the tech sector, as heavily battered stocks like Hewlett-Packard, Dell and Research In Motion made strong gains in the shortened trading session.
The Nasdaq Composite /quotes/zigman/12633936/realtime COMP -2.09% was up nearly 1% to 2,954 by the final hour of trades, while the Morgan Stanley High-Tech Index /quotes/zigman/6015481/realtime MSH -1.90% picked up 1.3% and the Philadelphia Semiconductor Index /quotes/zigman/1468249/delayed SOX -2.10% rose 1.7%.
Most notably, Research In Motion Ltd. saw its U.S.-listed shares jump more than 14% to $11.75 after an analyst for National Bank in Toronto raised his price target to $15 from $12, reflecting an increased shipment target for the new BlackBerry 10 smartphone handsets expected to launch in February.
"The shipment boost reflects about one more month of BB10 product availability plus a little extra for the positive sentiment building in the industry from our discussions," analyst Kris Thompson wrote.
RIM got a strong bounce earlier in the week, after Peter Misek of Jefferies & Co. upgraded the stock to a hold rating, citing research that shows wireless carriers "have a much more positive view of BB10 than we expected." The stock is up about 25% so far for this week — but remains down about 30% from this same time last year.
Markets take in Black Friday
It's Black Friday, and retailer stocks have outperformed the broader market.
H-P /quotes/zigman/229301/delayed/quotes/nls/hpq HPQ -1.38% picked up 4.3% to trade at $12.46. The stock took a beating earlier in the week, before it reported disappointing results for its fiscal fourth quarter and made a surprising allegation of accounting fraud at its recently acquired Autonomy software business.
Dell was up about 5.5% while AMD /quotes/zigman/216580/delayed/quotes/nls/amd AMD +2.36% rose by 4.8%. All three firms have been heavily battered by the sharp slowdown in PC sales this year.
Other strong gainers on Friday included Microsoft Corp. /quotes/zigman/20493/delayed/quotes/nls/msft MSFT -0.96% , Micron Technology Inc. /quotes/zigman/75433/delayed/quotes/nls/mu MU -6.09% and Juniper Networks Inc. /quotes/zigman/202982/delayed/quotes/nls/jnpr JNPR -0.76% . Amazon.com Inc. /quotes/zigman/63011/delayed/quotes/nls/amzn AMZN -2.95% made a fractional gain on Black Friday. Facebook Inc. /quotes/zigman/9962609/delayed/quotes/nls/fb FB -2.71% and LinkedIn Corp. /quotes/zigman/5131883/delayed/quotes/nls/lnkd LNKD -3.55% were down.

The Auditor as Judge of Acceptable Risk Levels and Advocate for Risk Management
When internal auditors assess the adequacy of controls, we should consider whether the level of risk to the organization is at an "acceptable level" (see IIA International Standard 2201). When that level of risk is "unacceptable" in the opinion of the auditor, there is an obligation to "discuss the matter with senior management" and the matter will be included in the formal audit report (quotes are from Standard 2600).
That is what the International Standards for the Professional Practice of Internal Auditing say, and it makes sense because we should be helping the management team manage risks so they are at desired levels. If risks are higher than desired, there is an obvious threat to the organization. If risks are too low, there may be inefficiencies that can be removed to improve financial and operational performance.
The traditional auditor has never seen a risk he didn't want to reduce. But is this the right approach?
Let's take a situation I had when chief audit executive of Tosco. We had about 6,000 convenience stores (branded Circle K, BP, 76), where employee/customer theft was always an issue. There was an audit of a group of stores, where we found that there had been several thefts and employees discharged. Physical inventories were being performed by the (independent) store auditors every 3-4 weeks, a high frequency as the stores were rated high risk. The division manager also visited at least once a month. But still, inventory losses (called shrink) approximated 0.92 percent of sales.
The first reaction of the traditional auditor is to call for improved controls, perhaps through additional cameras (and monitoring) in the store, more frequent store audit visits, etc. But, industry experience is that once shrink drops below about 1 percent, additional controls cost more than the reduction in shrink. The company (in fact, the industry) had a risk tolerance of 1 percent. So, the intelligent auditor sees that management is on top of the situation, that risks are at "acceptable levels" and moves on.
But, and this is the big but, what does the auditor do if management has not established its risk tolerance? I have heard one thought leader say that this is an issue that should be included in the audit report. My thinking is that this is an opportunity for a discussion about the value of risk management.
We have historically been advocates for internal control. Now is the time for us to be advocates for risk management. When we perform an audit and management does not employ risk management practices in designing their processes and in decision-making, we have an advocacy opportunity.
If there is to be an audit report finding, in most cases it should be delivered to somebody at a corporate level rather than at a local level. I would like to think we can collect some of these local situations, understand how risk management would add value to local operations, and build the case for a discussion first with senior management and then with the board.
Now, we still have a challenge in that we have a control issue and management has not defined its risk tolerance. Do we go ahead and publish, or do we substitute our own judgment for that of management? Well, I think the answer is that we try to work with management to agree on whether the current level of risk is above or below acceptable levels. Yes, that means using our judgment collectively with management to establish the threshold.
Are we set if management has defined risk tolerances? No, because the risk tolerance can be inappropriate for the business. For example, perhaps it was set a year ago and the business conditions have changed. We need to use our judgment and assess whether management's risk tolerances are reasonable.
Let's bottom-line this. World-class auditors, in my opinion, should assess the condition of internal controls against the standard of providing reasonable assurance that risks are managed at (approximately) risk tolerances. We should no longer:
Report the issue and let management reply as to whether they accept the risk.
- Ignore situations where management has not established risk tolerances.
- Accept, without question, management's setting of risk tolerances.
- Miss the opportunity to be an advocate for risk management, especially an appropriate risk culture.
Do you agree?

Early childhood professionals must acquire the necessary knowledge and skill to
maximize children's early potential in all areas of development. This has increased
an already solid demand for graduates from the Early Childhood Education program
at Spokane Falls Community College. Recent research in how the brain grows and develops
shows that early experiences make permanent impressions on the structure and functioning
of the young child's fast growing brain.
Positions include: teacher, paraeducator in public schools, teacher's aide/assistant, parent-school liaison,
program supervisor, early education coordinator, family child care provider, center director/manager and
assistant director/manager.
Pay scales for entry-level positions range from minimum wage to $12.00 an hour depending
on the employer. With experience and continued education, graduates of the early
childhood education program may pursue management level positions, such as center
director, resulting in higher salary ranges.

New Castle News
One of the benefits I gained by following a regular yoga practice is that I have become a better singer.
However, because I teach evening classes I'm sad to say, my schedule limits my ability to join a choir. This is unfortunate.
I admit that there may be critics who could argue my claim of enhanced song, but I don't see anyone covering their ears.
The regular stretching from yoga improves the flexibility of my shoulders, and front and back of my neck. The regular breathing practice maintains the strength of my diaphragm. Singing a song is like doing several big, long exhales. So the better your lung capacity, the better your crooning will be.
The interesting thing is that studies have shown that singing actually can alleviate stress, decrease your blood pressure and lower your heart rate. So go ahead, keep singing in the shower.
In one study, over a three-year period, a group of singers, ages 55 and over, were followed and examined to see how singing affected their health.
The Seniors Singing Chorale, at the Levine School of Music in Washington D.C., showed "significant health improvements compared to those in the control groups," according to the study.
In the three years, there were 30 fewer doctor visits, fewer eyesight problems, less depression and less need for medication.
Participants reported feeling better both in daily life and while singing, and noticed that their voice quality was improved. They also noticed they could breathe easier and had better posture.
Another finding is that using your diaphragm to sing is a good way to promote a healthy lymphatic system, which in turn promotes a healthy immune system.
The lymph system keeps toxins moving along. So don't be shy, belt out those show tunes — "When the red, red robin goes bob, bob, bobbin' along" might actually keep the red blood cells prevalent, and the white blood cells ready for strong defense.
By the way, if you are shy, singing will actually bring you out of your shell. Singing can be a confidence booster and is a great release. So if you're stressing, or feeling a little down, you may want to sing the blues. There's a good chance that's why the blues style of music was created — it just helps you feel better to sing.
Singing develops a different intonation in your voice and puts extra emphasis, such as in crescendo, which can affect your mood differently than when you are talking. You may actually be stirring up the "feel good" hormones just by singing along with the radio.
Singing also is being applied as therapy for people who have been traumatized. Great physical or psychological pain can be relieved by blocking a lot of the neural pathways that pain travels through, through singing, according to Dr. Patricia Preston-Roberts, a board-certified music therapist in New York City.
It is a scientific fact that a different area of the brain is used for singing than for speaking. Research is now studying the "feel good" affect of singing for people with Alzheimer's disease, dementia or memory problems.
Initial results indicate that singing does have beneficial effects on cognitive powers, emotions and physical abilities for this population as well.

CHAPEL HILL — Marcus Paige spent the majority of his first season at North Carolina as a passer and a facilitator – as the guy in charge of running the Tar Heels' offense. Then came Friday night, and his first college start at shooting guard.
Paige likely wouldn't have played there, and would have started at point guard, instead, had UNC started the season with its full complement of players. The Tar Heels, though, didn't have that luxury, and might not for a while.
And so Paige did what UNC most needed him to do: He provided offense from the perimeter.
"It's different," said Paige, who tied his career-high with four 3-pointers, all of which came in the first half of UNC's 84-61 victory against Oakland. "Especially last year because we had guys that could really score – like P.J. (Hairston) and Reggie (Bullock) and James Michael (McAdoo), especially toward the end of the year.
"This year now I'm one of the primary guys, and so I have to try to just do more offensively. I'm getting used to it, but it's still a process for me."
Paige on Friday night was one of several UNC players who thrived in new roles. In addition to Paige, there was J.P. Tokoto, the sophomore forward who provided little offensively a season ago. He finished with a career-high 13 points, showed off a refined shooting touch.
There was James Michael McAdoo, the junior forward, who finished with a game-high 21 points – most of them coming in his return to power forward. McAdoo during the second half of last season rarely had a chance to play there, after the Tar Heels' began using a smaller lineup.
And in addition to the returnees, there were freshmen Nate Britt, who started at point guard, and Kennedy Meeks, the freshman center who scored 10 points in 13 minutes. All four of those players – Paige, Tokoto, Britt and Meeks – entered the season-opener surrounded by questions about how they'd fit into their roles.
And all four, for the first game, at least, provided positive answers. McAdoo, after an uneven sophomore season, might have made the best impression. UNC coach Roy Williams was most pleased by his shot selection – and that nine of his 13 field goal attempts went in.
"You look down and 9 for 13," Williams said. "He took one bad shot, and that was it. But he was active. He only had nine rebounds, but I think he had seven or eight at halftime. But there was not too much that I didn't like about his game."
UNC for the foreseeable future will be without P.J. Hairston and Leslie McDonald, the team's two best perimeter players. Without them, Paige has had to take on added scoring responsibility. So, too, has Tokoto.
He scored all of his 13 points in the first half, and also finished with a career-high five assists. Two of those came on passes that set up alley-oop dunks – one to McAdoo and another to Brice Johnson. The most noticeable difference in Tokoto's game, though, was his improved shot.
"(I'm) just focusing on the rotation of the ball, getting it up there," he said. "Using my legs, so much not as my arms."
The difference was noticeable, especially in the first half. Statistically, UNC's first half on Friday was among the best of Williams' tenure as the Tar Heels' head coach. UNC during the first 20 minutes against Oakland shot 74.2 percent from the field – the Tar Heels' best shooting percentage in a half under Williams.
The Tar Heels aren't likely to duplicate that, and more often than not they likely won't come close. Even so, UNC ended its first game surrounded by optimism thanks to how well various players adapted to unfamiliar roles.

Annual Salary Survey
Participate in the 2013 Salary Survey
In a year when manufacturing continued to lead the economic rebound, it makes sense that plant manager bonuses rebounded. Plant Engineering's annual Salary Survey shows both wages and bonuses rose in 2012 after a retreat the year before.
Average salary across all job titles for plant floor management rose 3.5% to $95,446, and bonus compensation jumped to $15,162, a 4.2% increase from the 2010 level and double the 2011 total, which showed a sharp drop in bonus.

Arkad Group Real Estate Corp. "Arkad" is a privately owned, vertically integrated group of real estate investment companies created to capitalize on the rising inventory of distressed properties held by private and public financial institutions. Arkad and its affiliated companies are New Jersey & New York based entities that specialize in the analysis, acquisition, renovation, management & disposition of residential and commercial real estate in specific micro-markets located throughout the NJ/NY metro area.
Our team has spent the last 8 years investing in a variety of distressed Residential "RES", Commercial "COM" & Multi-family "MUL" assets including: Bank Owned "REO", pre-foreclosure "Short Sales, Non-performing Notes "NPN" (both by units and bulk), Free & Clear Acquisitions and Auction House & County Sales; all with great deal of success. Above average returns, market making sales, and trend setting value-added improvements have all been accomplished by following disciplined acquisition metrics and superior investment knowledge & management. Arkad's investment model targets assets ideal for redevelopment followed by resale exit or hold & lease strategies.
VALUE ADDED - The right improvements, for the right price.
Improvements based on: location & exit strategy*
Our average renovations package is: $32,374. (Lg)
Our average renovation takes 41 days.
GOAL: 35-50% increase in value within 60 days.
ARBRITARIAL - The right house, for the right price.
Discount metrics based on distressed levels & motivation from seller
Negotiations based on reliable & current market data & trends.
Additional leverage gain through in house capabilities.*
Properties are acquired in areas that show low to mid value fluctuations, stable DOM and low absorption rates (3-5 Months). We then add value with upgrades that will exceed our end consumer expectations. Our proprietary demographic models have allowed us to choose specific towns and micro-markets with the highest flip/hold potential. Arkad currently concentrates its efforts on 29 SPECIFIC towns (A, B and C towns) in New Jersey and a number of neighborhoods in New York where its business model works particularly well. Additionally, we implement proven liquidation strategies designed to engage and involve our end buyers such as offering fair pricing, customizable options, upgrades & concessions.
Arkad's research & acquisitions teams have the ability to perform due diligence on an average of 25-35 potential acquisitions per week. Our rapid access to information and local resources, allows us to react to purchases quickly and effectively. Our ability to focus on specific regions, asset types and strategies, as well as act fast has been the key to our success.
Arkad has also demonstrated a competitive advantage in its disposition strategies by offering consumers value added real estate assets at competitive prices. At Arkad, we believe the product is just as important as the profit. Our properties often receive multiple offers or rental income that is above average. We determine our "sweet spots" by paying attention to areas where large portions of qualified buyers are currently purchasing. We then seek out properties in those locations_.
Factors such as migration, commuting, development and job creation are closely observed all the while keeping in line with our purchasing guidelines. Specifically ROI, Cap Rate, DCR and CCR. This methodical and disciplined approach helps to minimize risk and secure earnings for the company and its investors. Our model allows for a 35%-50% decline in market values as a "cushion" for any given project before investment capital is at risk.
Our investment models, corporate structure and proprietary software platforms further enhance our capabilitiesand ability to create beautifully remodeled, mechanically upgraded, and environmentally friendly properties at below average costs.
Arkad's roots began with single-family residential assets and small multifamily properties consisting of 2 - 6 units and this is still at the core of our business model. But over the last two year we have begun making strides into other asset classes to diversify our portfolio and take advantage of opportunities in the larger rental unit arena as well as new development projects in areas with high demand and high rent rates like college areas and up and coming urban areas. Arkad Commercial Holdings, LLC is our MUL arm and its focus is on 9 specific cities around New Jersey.
We are successful because we place ourselves in front of opportunity at every turn. Key relationships with top tier REO brokers, wholesalers, attorneys, loan officers and asset managers keep the flow of leads constant and allow us to cherry pick the best properties. Trained interns pull NOD data from the townships on a weekly basis and forward to our headquarters so we can generate offers. Of course Sheriff auctions are also visited weekly where properties can be purchased on the spot. Through direct efforts we are able to make offer to distressed homeowners directly. In these situations we have developed win-win-win strategies for all parties involved. We encourage you to download our Acquisition Criteria Booklet.

Reducing energy costs creates savings/opportunities for hospitals
Sustainable, energy efficient futures for hospitals could save them millions of dollars in the long-term if properly realized.
This image really helps illustrate how reducing and controlling energy costs at a hospital translates to savings and stability to the bottom-line of a hospital's budget.
This is one of many reasons why it's so important for hospitals to focus on their sustainable measures and efforts. Simply put, hospitals can and should be operating more efficiently and realizing stronger and more sustainable futures.
This is just a piece of the information you'll find at Targeting 100! – Hospital Energy Use – a site packed with great data.

Six motor carriers that received subsidies from the Port of Los Angeles for the purchase of clean trucks may have to return some of the money because they did not comply with the requirements of the program.
The port released data showing the truckers could be on the hook for a total of $1.57 million, with Swift Transportation potentially responsible for $1.46 million of that amount.
The issue arose from a program in which Los Angeles offered motor carriers up to $20,000 per new truck to encourage companies to replace older trucks with vehicles that meet federal Environmental Protection Agency emission standards.
Truckers receiving subsidies are required to make a minimum of 150 visits per vehicle, per year for five years. According to a report released by the port, six trucking companies in the 12 months ending June 30, 2010, failed to make all of the required number of trips with subsidized trucks.
In a column under the title, "amount due to the port," four of the motor carriers could owe between $3,000 and $16,000 each, another trucker $80,000 and Swift could owe $1.46 million.
Port spokesman Phillip Sanfield said the companies are aware of the numbers, but the port has not asked them for any money yet. Port attorneys at an upcoming meeting will present options to the harbor commission, and one option would be that the motor carriers reimburse the port for failing to make sufficient calls with the subsidized trucks, Sanfield said.
Dave Berry, vice president at Phoenix-based Swift, said the company has no comment at this time.
The current fiscal year will come to an end on June 30, and Sanfield said the trend indicates there will be some shortfalls again this year.

Here's what you need:
- Stocking pattern pieces (I'm providing a PDF of the stocking pattern pieces I used, or you can trace one from a stocking you like)
- 1/2 yard main fabric
- 1/2 yard white muslin (used for lining)
- scraps of linen (or scraps from your white muslin) for name placket
- 18" of bias tape (for binding at top of stocking)
- 2"x 16" piece of colored fabric (mine was a deep red)
- Warm & white cotton batting (maybe 1/4 yard)
- thread
- embroidery floss
- water soluble marking pen
- scrap of ribbon, button (for making hook)
Cut 2 pieces of the stocking pattern from the white muslin
Cut 2 pieces of the main fabric from the stocking template
Cut 2 pieces from the linen for your name placket (cuff piece)
{Sew with 1/4 seam allowances throughout.}
Place white muslin (for interior) right sides together and sew along edge, leaving 'top' of stocking open. Set aside.
Take main fabric and sew your 2" wide fabric together, then sew linen to that 2" wide fabric. Repeat for back side of stocking. Press seam allowances down towards main colored fabric.
Next, place a piece of batting on your work surface, then put the pieced exterior right side up on top of that. Then place the other pieced exterior piece right side down and then place the remaining batting on top of that. Pin. Sew along edge, again leaving 'top' of stocking open.
Turn exterior pieced fabric with batting attached right side out. Slip the white muslin liner into the stocking, wrong sides facing together. Attach your binding to the top of the stocking, just like you would for making a quilt. I tried hand sewing the binding for the first time. I love it. I used this tutorial and just looked at the pics for how to tack the binding down. If you haven't done it this way before give it a try!
Lastly, take a 8" scrap of ribbon make a loop and attach to stocking by sewing on a button through all layers.
Now go hang that stocking by the chiminey with care!
Let me know if you have any questions.

Palomar Mountain SP
State Park
The campgrounds at Palomar Mountain State Park are now open. You can make reservations through Reserve America at http://www.reserveamerica.com/.
Due to the threat of the Goldspotted Oak Borer spreading throughout San Diego County, no oak firewood will be allowed into Palomar Mountain State Park. Wood can be purchased at the park or you can bring other species of firewood, such as pine or eucalyptus.
To find out more about this pest, please go to http://ucanr.org/sites/gsobinfo/
Elevation within the park averages 5,000 feet above sea level, making evenings cool even during the summer. A number of vista points offer spectacular panoramic views both westerly toward the ocean and inland toward the desert, particularly from Boucher Hill Summit, which has been listed in the Sierra Club's "Hundred Peaks Section" since first published in 1946. There, you'll also find the historic Boucher Hill Fire Lookout.
The park is open from dawn 'til dusk daily. Reservations are highly recommended for camping during peak season. Day use fees are $8.00 per vehicle, cash or check only. Trails are open to foot traffic only, and dogs and mountain bikes are not allowed on trails. Please note that there are no gas stations on Palomar Mountain. For more information, visit http://www.palomarsp.org/
From Highway 76, either of two roads can be used to reach the park. The one from Rincon Springs (County Road S6) is scenic but rather steep and winding. County Road S7 from Lake Henshaw is longer, but its gentle grade makes it more suitable for heavily loaded vehicles and those pulling trailers. Please note that there are no gas stations on Palomar Mountain. If you're using GoogleMaps or MapQuest, the park's physical address is: 19952 State Park Rd. Palomar CA 92060.

Extra time thwarts Aeros again, lose 4-3 to Stars in SO
I was the only one who chose Hackett, simply because I think the additional year of pro experience he has is more evident in shootouts than in regulation play.
That was somewhat proven out tonight as the Stars scored on 3 of their 5 attempts with Kuemper in net, while the Aeros scored twice for the loss.
That said, in regular game play, I'd take Kuemper all day long right now. I feel like Hackett hasn't been quite as sharp and focused in his starts since his stint in Minnesota.
And to my point, Kuemper stopped 46 of 49 shots tonight. Woof. That's a lotta shots, folks. And it's concerning that many are getting through, but not having seen the game myself, it's tough to judge. All I know is the Aeros were massively out shot, 25-49, so.... it'd be nice to see that number go down.
Still, on the bright side, new guy Mike Radja scored twice, his first two goals as an Aero. And other even newer guy, Chris Clackson, had the first helper on his second goal. Clackson's been in the ECHL with the Gwinnett Gladiators and tonight was his first outing with the Aeros.
Also, Taffe had two assists in what was his 500th AHL game.
The only other sorta weird thing is that Kuemper got 2 delay of game penalties and the Stars capitalized on both of those. But then he got the second assist on Fontaine's goal late in the second period to pull ahead just after the Stars tied it.
So, I dunno what that was about. If anybody was there and can fill us in down in the comments, that'd be cool.
Meanwhile, if you need me, I'll be celebrating the first Wild win in about 37 games tonight, thanks to a roster full of Aeros who beat up on a hurting Dallas Stars team.
The big news is that Rau scored in his first NHL game and was named first star. You couldn't smack the grin off the guy with a frying pan afterward. It was really fun to see.
See you crazy kids tomorrow. I don't even know who we're playing, to be quite honest. It's just that time of the season where it all runs together. Either way, I'll be there. Hope you will be, too.

Ms. C.. I just asked that same quetsion on my blog posted earlier BEFORE I read yours. What was that all about the delay of game? And how about the assist.. he's channeling BB maybe ?The word is Whumsica---how apropos,tee hee!
- January 22, 2012 at 10:17 AM
Unfortunately, the Rules do not distinguish between goalies and skaters, when the puck is "cleared out-of-play" in the defensive zone.....had the game official been anyone other than the veteran, Jamie Koharski, the two infractions might not have been called.
The Sunshine Kid continues to impress and should quickly learn from this and adjust his game accordingly.
Go Aeros!
- January 22, 2012 at 12:02 PM
I don't think Hackett as been as sharp for us since he returned from the Wild. I hope it's just my imagination or my total lack of expertise of goalie skills. I'm just a fan. But I agree that he's the man for the shootouts at this point. One can't help but think about where we would be if we had won some of those overtime/shootout games. Nevertheless, whatever guys happen to be on the ice for any given game, are giving it their best. It's got to be frustrating for them.
- January 22, 2012 at 1:25 PM
Further to the discussion as to whether Hackett or Kuemper is more effective in Shootouts, the numbers support Ms. Conduct's position over the 9 relevant games:
Hackett: GA..4/19..21.1%
Kuemper: GA..11/25..44.0%
Aeros goalies (incl. Endras) have failed to stop 17/48 shots (35.4%).
But, this ignores the BIGGER issue: Aeros shooters have potted only 8/49 shots (16.3%), well below opponents' marksmanship, providing modest support to either goalie:
Hackett: GF..1/20..5.0%
Kuemper: GF..7/25..28.0%
It is what it is.
Go Aeros!!!

New Castle News
Three people were taken to Jameson Hospital following a two-vehicle crash last night in Slippery Rock Township.
Some of the victims were trapped in the wreckage, and it took volunteer firefighters about a half-hour to extricate them. The accident happened at 5:40 p.m. on Route 422 near Copper Road, just as temperatures were falling and snow in Lawrence County was causing icy roads around the area.
According to state police, Jennifer McBeth, 29, of New Castle was westbound on Route 422 when her 2002 Ford F250 began to slide on the snow-covered roadway. It traveled sideways into the eastbound lanes and struck the passenger side of a 1999 Chevrolet Malibu operated by Kathryn M Knaus, 24, of Beaver Falls. Both vehicles came to rest on the south shoulder of the highway.
McBeth and 25-year-old Brad V. Hook of Grove City, a passenger in Knaus' vehicle, were taken by Medevac Ambulance to Jameson Hospital with what police termed minor injuries. Knaus suffered "moderate injury," according to police, and was taken to Jameson as well.
A helicopter was called to transport victims, but because of weather conditions it could not fly.
None of the victims' conditions were available last night.

Comics Unmasked: Art and Anarchy in the UK
- 2 May — 19 August 2014 *on now
Featuring some of the biggest names in comics, including Alan Moore (Watchmen, V for Vendetta), Neil Gaiman (Sandman), Mark Millar (Kick-Ass) and Grant Morrison (Batman: Arkham Asylum), the British comics tradition stretches back to the Victorian era and beyond.
The show will explore the full potential of the medium, demystifying the process of creating comics, while presenting work that is challenging to the status quo. Its materials unflinchingly examine issues around gender, violence, sexuality, drug-taking and politics.
Enduring War: Grief, Grit and Humour
- 19 June — 12 October 2014 *on now
Enduring War examines how people coped with life during the war: from moments of patriotic fervour to periods of anxious inactivity, shock and despair.
Through posters, poetry, books and pamphlets from the period, the exhibition considers attempts to boost morale at home and in the field, as well as presenting individual responses to the conflict, such as letters from Indian soldiers on the Western Front, schoolboys' descriptions of Zeppelin raids over London and examples of the black humour expressed in trench journals.
The exhibition also showcases the Library's work for Europeana 1914-1918, a major pan-European project to digitise more than 400,000 items from World War One, through an audiovisual art installation.
Terror and Wonder: The Gothic Imagination
- 3 October 2014 — 27 January 2015
In October 2014 the British Library will stage the UK's most comprehensive show of Gothic literature yet. Marking 250 years since the genre burst into undead life with the publication of Horace Walpole's The Castle of Otranto, Terror and Wonder will explore the enduring influence it has had, not just on literature, but film, fashion, music and art ever since.
The exhibition will explore how literary greats, such as Ann Radcliffe and Horace Walpole, broke conventions with 18th century gothic masterpieces, paving the way for some of the most imaginative minds of literature, from Mary Shelley and Bram Stoker to Mervyn Peake and Angela Carter.
Suitable for
- Any age

Campaign! Make an Impact
This national cross-curricular programme uses history to inspire young people into active citizenship. Historical campaigns inspire and teach campaign skills, enabling children and young people to run their own campaigns about issues that affect them today. It's based around a three step model on our website.
Students can explore campaign skills, and learn how campaigners have constructed their messages in creative ways. There is guidance on how to plan and carry out your campaign.
In the Teachers and Museums section you can find out more about how the model works and how your organisation can get involved.

Cheap schools needed
To see the future of Wake County's schools if the county commissioners take over control of school construction, look no further than what occurred when design firms interested in pursuing bond projects were informed of the new design criteria for schools.
Relayed to the 30-plus firms in attendance was the fact that if the school system was to receive county commission bond support only one criteria really mattered – the schools better be among the cheapest in North Carolina.
I repeatedly asked the question as to why only first cost was mentioned as being important. Why wasn't energy performance, durability, quality or daylighting being considered? It appeared that operating cost did not matter, the quality of the teaching spaces or the experiential learning aspects of the design and, in turn the performance of the students, did not matter. The response that I got back was that if the school system was to get funding from the county commissioners, it better be cheap.
Having been involved in the design of 150 sustainable schools with exceptional experiential learning opportunities and quality learning environments, including four schools for WCPSS, we declined to submit for any of the schools if this was the criteria.

GEORGETOWN, Del.- Delaware State Police have arrested a Sussex Technical High School staff member accused of sending sexually explicit text messages to a 17-year-old student.
Police said Sussex Tech administrators contacted detectives on Wednesday after an employee discovered that 36-year-old Stanley Daniel Zakrociemski, of Millsboro, had been sending inappropriate text messages to a 17-year-old female student. According to police, the text messages dated as far back as March of last year and continued until the employee found out about them earlier this week.
Investigators said the relationship between Zakrociemski and the teen, who turned 18 in December, never turned physical.
Zakrociemski turned himself in to police on Wednesday and was arrested on five counts of sexual solicitation of a child under 18. He is being held at Sussex Correctional Institution on a $100,000 secured bond.
Sussex County School District said in a statement Thursday that Zakrociemski, who was in his second year with the district as the sutdent youth activities coordinator, has been suspended with pay pending the completion of the investigation.
