Oakley Snow Team Heads to Winter X Games, Final Warm Up for Sochi Olympics
The stakes are always high at X Games. At this event above all other, the Action Sports community is on lookout for the newest tricks from the biggest names, and even, from those names who aren't yet as familiar. The next big thing is always just a run away. Those top performances carry extra weight this year in Aspen, Colo., as the event will be the final warm-up – and for some, the final qualification opportunity – before heading to Russia to compete in the Winter Olympics.
"It's a momentous year for winter action sports. X Games is always a game changer as everyone unveils their newest and best. This year, coupled with the increased awareness due to the upcoming Winter Olympics, the opportunity to further the evolution and progression of these once counter-culture sports is huge," said Patrick McIlvain, Oakley VP Global Sports Marketing. "To have back-to-back events of such magnitude is exciting. We look forward to seeing who will lay it on the line at X Games and are anxious to see how that will carry over to Sochi."
With Slopestyle debuting alongside Superpipe on the Olympic schedule this year, Aspen will be an opportunity for a curious general audience to get a peak at what's to come. What actually transpires at X Games will likely determine where the athlete and media conversations go in the final days and weeks leading up to the Opening Ceremonies in Russia.
Mark McMorris is the two-time defending X Games champion in Slopestyle and the favorite heading into Aspen and Sochi, having won or made the podium in almost every major competition over the past two years. With Shaun White choosing to sit this X Games out in order to prepare for Sochi, Superpipe supremacy will be up for the taking and we would be wise to watch for Japanese wunderkind Ayumu Hirano, who will be aiming to improve on his Silver Medal from 2013. On the women's side, Jamie Anderson is the perennial favorite in Slopestyle, having won four Gold Medals in Aspen since 2007.
In freeskiing, Alex Schlopy and Joss Christensen are coming into Aspen having won events in Park City and waiting to hear if they've secured spots on the US Team in Slopestyle; results, nonetheless, that make them medal contenders at X Games. Henrik Harlaut will also be one of the most watched and talked about athletes on site, having rocked the freeskiing world last year with his Gold Medal-winning Nose Butter Triple Cork 1620 in Big Air. Having just missed qualifying for the Olympic team and having torn his ACL, Simon Dumont may still give Superpipe one last go before turning his focus to other pursuits. Another storyline in freeskiing is that of Kaya Turski. Having torn her ACL in her left knee while practicing in August, her Olympic hopes appeared in doubt. She made a surprise appearance at the Grand Prix event in Park City last week, and looks prepared to defend her Slopestyle crown in Aspen with the aim of expanding her current streak of six consecutive X Games Gold Medals before heading off to Sochi as a medal favorite.

The heat is great and does cover a larger area than you get from the gas heaters. The only draw back is the reddish hue color it gives off. It is cheaper to use than the gas heaters.

Joplin's Valentine's Day looked more like Halloween on Thursday night and the high-powered West Plains Zizzers were to blame.
The Zizzers upped their record to 24-1 with a 74-13 win over Joplin at Missouri Southern's Robert Ellis Young Gymnasium.
"What I'm most pleased with is that we've come out with intensity and focus every game," West Plains coach Scott Womack said. "During the year, a long season, you'll have ups and downs, but we've stayed pretty steady all season long. And we did the same tonight."
Andi Haney — who became West Plains' career scoring leader earlier this season — scored 11 of her game-high 21 points in the first quarter as the Zizzers grabbed a 27-4 lead. Haney was 9-of-10 from the foul line and had 16 points at halftime.
"She really runs the offense and gets everyone involved and is a good scorer, obviously," Womack said. "And everyone had found their role around Andi and they do what they need to do for the team to win."
Joplin struggled against West Plains' defense, scoring just four points in each of the first two quarters and five in the third before going scoreless with a running clock in the fourth.
"You have to give a lot of credit to West Plains," Joplin coach Dustin Larsen said. "As a program and as a team, we didn't come out with the focus and the discipline and work ethic to compete and make ourselves better.
"It's times like these when you really find out how you're going to grow as a program. You find out what kind of people and what kind of program you have."
Joplin was led by Kelsey Johnson's five points while Jaqueline Lieurance and Danielle Hollingshead each added four.
Cassidy Johnson added 17 for West Plains and Kellie Bowen had 11.
West Plains has locked up at least a share of the Ozark Conference crown. The Zizzers (8-0 in the conference) host Parkview (7-1) in their regular season finale on Tuesday and can claim the title outright with a win.
"Our success so far comes down to the seniors," Womack said. "They keep the girls focused and ready to go. When they get off the bus they're ready to play."

On Tuesday, three U.S. senators took aim at inflexible sequestration restrictions and inadequate fire prevention policies they believe have become fuel for the raging wildfires in the West.
While blazes scorched paths from Arizona to Alaska and the cost of fighting them surpassed the $1 billion mark, there was a refreshing nonpartisan display: Sens. Mike Crapo and Jim Risch, Idaho Republicans, standing with Sen. Ron Wyden, D-Ore., agreeing about what is broken and what needs fixing during a press conference at the National Interagency Fire Center in Boise.
Instead of laying more bricks for gridlock, which is often the case in Washington, we witnessed palpable traction and continued mutual respect among them. Each senator took a turn enhancing the others on-target points:
Forests in their neighboring states need no-excuses surgical thinning, especially in arcs around population areas.
Spending reductions due to sequestration are too short-sighted and rigid in regard to wildfire mitigation.
In the long term fire prevention will cost less than firefighting, so budgets and spending must be recast to reflect that.
Post-crisis programs such as stewardship contracts for logging will create jobs, stimulate economies and potentially create biomass energy sources.
Crapo, a colleague of Wydens on the Senate Finance Committee: While were fighting big issues like wildfire management were also fighting a national debt crisis. ... We can achieve those savings levels in ways that are much less damaging to the economy and agency management.
Wyden (like Crapo) has successfully facilitated meaningful forest management collaborations: We must use this time people turning on the nightly news to see the fires in the West to get our colleagues attention. Congress is going to have to step up to deal with this broken policy. Its going to have to be a bipartisan effort.
Risch, who serves with Wyden on the Senate Energy and Natural Resources Committee: The environmental movement in America has matured ... you can sit down and talk to a lot of them and they understand that these fires are not good for anybody. You are putting hundreds of millions of tons of carbon in the air. These fires do not comply with the Endangered Species Act. They do not comply with any other federal rules or regulations.
It was Risch who uttered a positive and candid connection with environmentalists. It was Wyden who kept bringing up the $17 trillion national debt.
The Flame Act of 2007 isnt getting it done. The fires are still burning, and all the talk must lead to effective action or it is just more fuel for consumption. We are encouraged by the work of these three senators and hope the House of Representatives can emulate such cooperation. We think Rep. Mike Simpson could be a catalyst in advancing such thinking among his colleagues. He knows Idahos forest management problems well, as evidenced by his innovative idea that government consider treating wildfires like other emergencies (tornadoes, hurricanes, earthquakes).
We challenge the House to be as successful at bi-partisan efforts as these Western senators. The fires are getting worse. To borrow from Rischs logic, these megafires of the future wont care about your party, your politics or your ideology. They devour everything we leave behind that burns.

RUMFORD — Town Manager Carlo Puiia submitted his resignation after Thursday evening's Board of Selectmen meeting, citing personal reasons.
At the end of the meeting, the board held an executive session and afterward in public session voted 4-0 to accept Puiia's resignation. Selectman Brad Adley was absent.
In his letter of resignation, Puiia said his decision to resign was "a personal one, and is based primarily on family values."
"I believe having a new town manager in place for the next budgeting cycle would be of great benefit to you," he wrote.
"Looking back on my time employed with the Town of Rumford, I consider it to be one of the most rewarding and satisfying careers that I could have ever possibly chosen. I will always admire and value the scores of volunteers who unselfishly give their time and energy in order to make Rumford a better place to live," the letter said.
Selectman Jolene Lovejoy said that the board accepted his resignation "with deep regret."
"He said that he was resigning for personal reasons, and I respect that," Lovejoy said. "It was definitely a surprise for all of us."
The next step for the board, according to Lovejoy, is to decide what route to take in searching for a new Town Manager.
"We've got to call the Maine Municipal Association and see what a package would cost us, in terms of them looking for us," Lovejoy said. "I think all of us on the board have been through the process before. Carlo was generous enough to stay on with us until we're able to hire a new Town Manager, so in fairness to the community and to Mr. Puiia, we'll try to get through this as fast as possible."
Puiia was named to the position in 2009 after serving as the town's tax collector. His resignation is effective upon the appointment of a new town manager.
Nearly a month ago the Board of Selectmen approved a three-year contract for Puiia. It said he would take a salary cut of $1,300 the first year, making his pay $67,600. His pay would be $70,200 for 2014-15 and $72,800 for 2015-16.
It's the second resignation this year for the town. Selectman Jeremy Volkernick resigned in April after growing frustrated when the town wouldn't reduce the budget.

Boehner got 98% what he wanted - why are we doing this dance again?
Original post made by Lucy on Dec 5, 2012
Why are we doing this dance again? Just so Boenher can be a stick in the mud again and be happy because he's in the news?
Boehner lost 8 seats in the House. Obama won 51-47, with a 5 million vote margin of victory, 332 - 206.
What gives? Is it just a slow news week? The markets are fine - they get it.
Boehner got his 98%. Tax rates return to Clinton era rates on January 1, just what Boehner asked for. We get Boehner's spending cuts on January 1.
Let's move on and fix this country. Let's fix immigration. Let's fix the jobs crisis. Boehner told us "Elections have consequences"
Let's go.

Jerry Bowyer, Contributor
I explore the problems leaders face.
It's odd how many people take my skepticism about college and try to twist it into an opposition to learning. But like the quote often attributed to Mark Twain, "I never let schooling interfere with my education."
Here's a radical idea worth contemplating: that school is not the best way to learn. Let me count the ways:
School fragments knowledge in the name of specialization. The problem that I run into most when advising businesses and investors is the problem of fragmentation. Economics is separate from finance; finance is separate from management; management is separate from sociology; sociology is separate from psychology. And the whole mess of the social sciences is separate from the whole mess of the humanities.
I've written till my face is blue and my fingertips are purple about the ways in which modern portfolio theory severs finance from economics, and the ways that Keynesian economics severs economics from productivity, but it never seems to stick. Why? Because we're all overschooled and undereducated. Economists have to go through a long and arduous path to academic certification during which every last vestige of common sense is eradicated from their minds through a process of alternating cookies and electric shocks as they recapitulate and/or repudiate the Keynesian formulae.
Financial people go through this too, not mainly in a purely academic environment, but with the series of professional exams stuffed with material which originated in an academic environment. A friend of mine who has accumulated about as many letters after his name as any normal business card would fit, told me that when he studied for his CFA he felt like he was being forced to eat garbage. What did he mean? He meant the academic secretion known as modern portfolio theory and its universe of non-causal randomness.
It doesn't have to be like that. I know that it doesn't have to be like that, because it didn't use to be like that. Read the great classical and Austrian economists, and you'll see that they slide easily over the artificial borders of what are usually segregated into economics, finance, sociology, religion, philosophy, political science and psychology. Doing that kind of stuff gets you killed when it comes to publishing in academic journals, but who cares about academic journals? Do you want pack membership with the prerequisite butt-sniffing? Or do you prefer to shape the world?
It's the same among the financiers: Read Bagehot and you get finance and economics and political science and history and literature and theology. You get real life. John Burr Williams is like that too. He's the last of the integrated financial theorists, I think. After him, it's the rise and dominance of Keynes in the economics departments and the rise and dominance of Modern Portfolio Theory in the department of finance. The integrated thinkers were set on the ice float. The new order emerges, periodically festooned with fool's gold from Oslo just to make sure that everyone knows that it is marching from triumph to triumph.
And out of this factory comes a lobotomized economic and financial ruling class. Theanthropoi, godmen, who walk the earth having been apotheosized in the best schools, with power over trillions of dollars and hundreds of millions of people, but who don't have a clue about matters slightly outside their area of specialization.
During the financial crisis of 2008, in at least a dozen conference call consultations with Ed Lazear, Chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisors, I repeatedly tried to help him and his staff understand the enormous negative effect of the mark-to-market accounting regulations. But Lazear was an economist: He didn't understand accounting. He didn't need to in order to get a PhD in economics from a prestigious school. He didn't need to in order to become the Chairman of the President's Council of Economic Advisors. But unfortunately, he needed to in order to deal with the problem before him.
The administration ignored the accounting issue: pushed a huge bailout plan. The plan failed economically and politically, and it wasn't until the following spring on May 20th that Congress pressed to have the rule suspended. Interestingly enough, that was the turning point in the market. Does that mean mark-to-market accounting was the only issue? Of course not, but it was a major issue, and one to which academic specialists were blind. Steve Forbes, who is largely an economic autodidact saw it. Official Washington did not.
Garbage written by an autodidact moron (sorry, that is redundant.) Four thousand years worth of educational experience is negated by the Internet? Bzzt – thanks for playing.
In terms of Accounting, Finance, and Economics: Are there any books and/or literature you would recommend? I'm one of the many of whom, after getting their degree (two of them actually), realized that they are under-educated and over-schooled. Post-college I have been classically self-educating. Reading Aristotle, Heroditus, Newton, etc. Basically anything I can get my hands on. However, I would like to acquire certifications for finance, economics, accounting, etc and I would prefer to get literature suggestions and advice from somebody who knows what they're doing; rather than wasting my time and money on books/educational tools that are inadequate. Any help/suggestions would be more than appreciated.
In terms of your article, I thought is was insightful to the extent of brilliance, honestly. Like everything else (reality), context cannot be dropped. I think that's what happens when one separates economics, finance, accounting, etc. They're mutually inclusive specializations, not mutually exclusive. A degree in something means less and less. I cannot tell you how many people picked the easy professors in college just so they can get a 'good' grade. They learned nothing but they received 4.0s…
I really appreciate the direction. Thank you, sir.
Of course, the basic skill that must be learned is the ability to read. A basic mathematical background is quite useful as well. For many college stuents, reading is an unpleasant chore and math, even something as simple as graphing, is over their heads. So your advice is necessarily aimed at those who are interested enough in reading to be perusing Forbes in the first place.
There are two dangers to autodidacticism. The first is that the autodidact may convince himself that he knows more about a topic than he actually does. The second is that the autodidact may develop a sympathy for a particular viewpoint and pursue that to the exclusion of other viewpoints. The propensity of economists, eg, to join economic "cults" is well known.
You are correct, though, that the rise of the web and the availability of cheap ebooks is rapidly making conventional education obsolete. In a system of integrated, self motivated education, the rewards go to those who develop reading and math skills at an early age and are quick elf motivated learners. Most people will be left behind.
I think for once I agree with you. However, I don't think a bias towards a view is a bad thing, so long as that the reason for the bias is based on objective truth and reason. I also think that quality educators are few and far between. Most teacher, professors, etc have always tried to tell me 'what' to think not 'how' to think. I also think that many people (especially my age/generation–I'm 25) are intellectually lazy and not only give a pass to poor educators, but they actually prefer them. To give a personal example: I knew someone who was going to school to pursue a masters in finance. She said she was also interested in pursuing nursing after she had received her masters in finance. Initially, I had thought this woman to be very admirable in her pursuits. However, I would, from time to time, ask her about her courses. She said she would skip most of them because she didn't care for the professors. I inquired as to her reasoning for this. She said, "I don't like these professors because I don't like the way they test. They don't tell me what is going to be on the tests, and if they do, they don't let the class know the answers ahead of time." So basically, she just wanted to memorize terms so she could get a good grade and then forget the info. Basically she wanted all the benefits of an education, without putting any of the effort in to acquire the actual knowledge necessary for what her job might demand (I'm not sure exactly what type of job she was looking for).
This is very common for someone in my generation/age group. They think they're entitled to that which can only be gained by earning it. Knowledge is not automatic. Critical thinking doesn't occur on its own. Action is required. For people, like myself, we realize this, and thus we realize that schooling is not providing us the education we want and/or need; especially when it comes to specialization of something. I think the example I provided is the other side of the coin to Mr. Bowyer's point. Even, if the schooling and individuals pursuing the schooling really desired knowledge (in general terms), I still think that Mr. Bowyer is right when he makes his point that the internet has made knowledge so available that schooling more and more obsolete. However, I do think that the poor education (or just lack thereof) has created a demand for internet sources (such as free websites, the purchasing of educational material via website vendors like amazon, etc) is a catalyst for the availability of such materials.
solzkajaer1999- I'm retired but I supplement my income by adjunct teaching. Although there is variety among students, there really is an expectation among some that the professor should provide the questions and answers in advance. I once pointed out to a student that employers would expect her to actually know the field in which she would (maybe) have a degree. She replied that it was no longer necessary to "know a bunch of stuff" because we now have Google.
Again, that isn't all, or even most, students, but the attitude is out there.
It most certainly is. Despite our disagreements through comments on other articles, it is refreshing for me personally to know that there are teachers that teach students 'how' to think and not 'what' to think, such as yourself. Socially speaking this is something that most people, at least it appears to be the case for my generation, utterly lack (critical thinking and logic skills that is). It is disappointing to hear that there are individuals out there who wish for success, believe they are entitled to, but either do not know, or evade, the requirements and character for success.
As long as reason is the standard and individuals have the freedom/liberty to peacefully disagree and agree with each other, we'll be ok.
There is some benefit to being able to learn by reading. It's disgusting to see a professional who is unable to learn without being led by the hand. However, sitting at home surfing the net, reading books and solving problems is not a substitute for an organized program of study.
If I want to hire a mechanic, I want someone who has been subject to an organized program of study and tested, not someone who has been tinkering with cars. Same goes for a doctor, accountant, engineer, architect, pastor and economist. Is it possible to learn architecture via self-directed study? Yes. It is. But it is more probable to obtain thorough knowledge through an organized program of study.
Very poor article,
firstly, the information on the internet is absolutely horrendous. More information does not necessarily imply better information. Some articles on Wikipedia for example have quotes like "Keynesian economics is about spending money we don't have" and "This made Mitt Romney very rich". A lot of absolutely crank theories like objectivism and Austrian economics (apparently all monopolies are caused by the government, and this has been proved a prori, yep through studying the relationship of ideas, they have found real facts about the world!!!) are made to look academic when they are a joke.
Secondly, education is not a factory to stuff people into, loading them up with knowledge. It is supposed to develop people. X is practical therefore X is good is an invalid argument. There are lots of definitions of education, you don't even use one.
Thirdly, you have quoted Ludwig Von Mises, who is insane.
This is just an attack by an amateur on the establishment, we are here to stay.

MCKEE, Ky. (AP) - An eastern Kentucky county has increased its occupational tax in an effort to shore up its deficit and balance its budget.
Despite pleas from citizens to not pass the tax, Jackson County Judge-Executive William O. Smith said something had to be done - and cuts in spending weren't enough. WYMT-TV (http://bit.ly/XmkDoC) reports that Smith says the sheriff's department owes the Fiscal Court nearly $300,000; in addition, the county is now paying for a new police department and coal severance funds have decreased by more than 50 percent in the past year.
County officials voted 2-1 on Tuesday to pass the .85 percent tax, which will be added to the 1 percent tax that citizens already pay. The new tax goes into effect on Nov. 1.

Commons-based peer production is a term coined by Harvard Law School professor Yochai Benkler. It describes a new model of socio-economic production in which the creative energy of large numbers of people is coordinated into large, meaningful projects mostly without traditional hierarchical organization. These projects are often, but not always, conceived without financial compensation for contributors. The term is often used interchangeably with the term social production.

An intuitive and intelligent opinion could save someone's life or bail the person out of never-ending trauma of an unresolved problem. However, presence of adequate intelligence quotient in the opinion is a must. In critical conditions, however, getting the right opinion or being sure that the opinion received is appropriate is nothing short of solving a tricky puzzle; you can't be certain whether it is correct or not until you go right till the end and experience the outcome. One could consider taking a chance if the outcome is not so impactful, and could be reversed / discarded. But if the outcome could save a life, it has to be accurate and intelligent.

The Tonawanda News
The day after Easter, Julie went to be with her Saviour and Lord Jesus after a courageous battle with cancer. She passed on peacefully from her home in Waterloo, Ontario.
Julie was born to Yolanda (nee Maiorani) and the late Alphonse Manetta in Rochester.In 1978 she obtained a Bachelor of Music Education from SUCNY Fredonia and married the Rev. Mark Hartburg (a 1974 graduate of Tonawanda High School). They are blessed with two daughters, Charissa (Stephen Jenken) of Ottawa and Kirsten (Gellert Czako) of Miami, FL. Julie was ecstatic to be able to meet her first grandchild in the womb via ultrasound. She is also survived by two sisters, Jeanne and MaryAnn of Rochester; as well as her mother-in-law, Arla Hartburg of North Tonawanda; and sisters-in-law, Susan (Bob) Maxwell of Grand Island and Wendy (Larry) Krieger of Lockport.
A violinist and teacher in the Suzuki Method, Julie taught in the early 1980s at Niagara County Community College. She later founded her own program in Grimsby, Ontario and most recently taught in Waterloo and Brantford, Ontario.
Former members of St. Matthew Lutheran Church in North Tonawanda, she and Mark have been privileged to serve with congregations in Niles, MI; Staplehurst, NE; Grimsby, Ontario and Historic St. Paul's Lutheran Church in Kitchener, Ontario, where a Service of Thanksgiving was held on April 5, followed by interment at White Haven Memorial Park, Pittsford, NY.

Tonawanda News — BUFFALO — Adam Weir's senior season was different than the rest. When he walked into opposing gyms, things were different than seasons past. Back when he was just another player getting off the bus.
But now he heard the whispers: "That's Adam Weir."
His star was bound to rise.
Last summer he joined a very elite fraternity of Western New York basketball players when he committed to play Division 1 basketball at Canisius College. This Winter he led Canisius High School to its third-straight Manhattan Cup and lived up to the hype every time he stepped on the court.
Weir, from the Town of Tonawanda, scored 21 points, grabbed seven rebounds and recorded two steals per game this season and is the 2013 Tonawanda News' Player of the Year.
Crusaders coach Kyle Husband has mixed emotions as Weir is set to move on to the next level.
"We're certainly excited to be able to watch him play still for another four years, but it will take me a while to get over losing him," he said. "They're all going to graduate but he's a special one in a lot of ways. As a player, I mean everyone has seen that and how good he is, but the stuff he has done off the floor — in the summer and the weight room — I'll never be able to duplicate that, or even explain it."
Weir is a well-rounded player that comes with a unique skill set, Husband said. He played the center and forward position in high school because of his height, but he sees himself as a guard at the next level.
Husband said that it's impossible to pigeonhole Weir into one position because he's such a talented all-around player.
"He's just a basketball player," Husband said. "It's going to be the same way it was here. He's going to rebound, he's going to run and he's going to score. He's going to be a great player at the next level."

Research Interests
Decision-making; Value; Reward; Risk; Ambiguity; Functional MRI
Current Projects
- Risk and ambiguity in the negative domain – examining behavior and neural activation for decision in terms of risk and ambiguity between outcomes that include losses.
- Behavior and neural correlates of decision under risk and ambiguity across the lifespan.
- Decision parameters in obese and lean individuals – comparing attitudes towards decision parameters such as risk and ambiguity in different BMI groups.
- Implicit learning of value - behavior and neural correlates of value learning in conditioning paradigms and their relationship to choice processes.
- Representation of food in obese and lean subjects - how is food that is depicted in movies perceived and how does it affect choice.
Research Summary
I am interested in the neural mechanisms that underlie human decision-making, especially under risk and uncertainty, and in the way individual differences in decision-making are reflected by the neural activation. My studies combine functional MRI methods from cognitive neuroscience and experimental methods from behavioral economics to study the neural correlates of decision parameters and valuation processes. Similar paradigms are used in healthy young volunteers, as well as in adolescents, older adults and obese individuals in order to unravel changes in behavior and in neural activation that may be at the core of pathological behaviors such as extreme risk-taking in adolescents and overeating in obese individuals.

Softball suffers heartbreaking series finale to No. 7 UL-Lafayette
Blue Raiders blast three home runs in 4-3 defeatApril 15, 2012 · Athletic Communications
· Box Score
MURFREESBORO, Tenn. -- A UL-Lafayette two-out double steal of second and home broke a 3-3 tie in the top of the seventh as Middle Tennessee fell to the Ragin' Cajuns 4-3 in Sunday afternoon's series finale.
With the game knotted at 3-3 entering the top of the seventh, Blue Raider starter Caty Jutson walked Christi Orgeron to begin the inning. Matteleine Hack followed by popping up to short before Jutson got Sarah Draheim to hit into a fielder's choice for the second out of the inning. Brianna Cherry then kept the inning alive with a single to right-center which allowed Draheim to take third.
With runners on first and third, the Ragin' Cajuns then executed their second double steal in as many innings. Cherry broke from first to second, inducing a throw from catcher Natalie Ysais to shortstop Samantha Nieves covering second base. Dreheim then sped from third to home, beating Nieves' throw back to Ysais and giving UL-Lafayette a 4-3 lead which ended up being the final tally.
The afternoon began with UL-Lafayette loading the bases with one out in the top of the first. After Jutson got Haack to fly out to left field, she then hit Draheim with a pitch, allowing each runner to advance a base and giving the Ragin' Cajuns a 1-0 lead.
The Blue Raiders countered with a run of their own in the bottom of the frame on a one-out solo jack off the bat of Nina Dever.
Draheim's sacrifice fly allowed UL-Lafayette to take a 2-1 advantage in the top of the third before Middle Tennessee once again answered in the fourth with another solo shot, this one coming from Kelsey Woodruff.
Jutson surrendered just one Ragin' Cajun hit over the fourth and fifth innings and began the sixth by getting Paige Cormier and Erikka Murphy to ground out for two quick outs. Natalie Fernandez and Katie Smith followed with consecutive infield singles, however, to put runners on first and third with two outs. UL-Lafayette then pulled off the first of their two double steals as Fernandez took home to allow the Ragin' Cajuns to take a 3-2 lead.
Middle Tennessee showed tremendous fight, though, as it once again responded with a run in the bottom of the sixth. Ysais struck out to begin the inning before Kaycee Popham smacked Middle Tennessee's third solo four-bagger over the right field fence to tie the game at 3-3. A Nieves groundout followed by a Laura Dukes fly out to center ended the inning, sending the game to the heartbreaking top of the seventh tied at 3-3.
After UL-Lafayette took the lead in the top of the inning, Ragin' Cajun starter Ashley Brignac sat down the Blue Raiders in order in the bottom of the frame to end the game with Middle Tennessee falling 4-3.
"Despite the loss, I was very impressed with how we came out and competed from the start today," said Middle Tennessee head coach Sue Nevar. "We showed that we can compete with anyone in the country. This is the best effort that I have seen from us in a while and this will give us confidence as we head down the stretch this season."
Middle Tennessee fell to 12-25 overall, 2-10 in the Sun Belt while UL-Lafayette bettered its record to 38-2, 13-2.
Jutson went the distance for Middle Tennessee, allowing just four runs on seven hits but was tagged with the loss. Brignac was the winner as she also pitched all seven innings, giving up three runs on four hits.
Dever, Popham and Woodruff each belted solo home runs to lead the Blue Raider offensive charge. Draheim recorded a pair of RBIs to lead UL-Lafayette.
Middle Tennessee will welcome FIU to Murfreesboro for a Sun Belt midweek three-game series beginning with a doubleheader Tuesday at 1 p.m. CT.

Description: Geisha (Geigi) are traditional, female Japanese entertainers, whose skills include performing various Japanese arts, such as classical music and dance. Contrary to popular opinion and stereotypes, geisha are not prostitutes and do not engage in sexual activity as part of their job. Historically they fulfilled a role similar to that of entertainers.-----There remains some confusion, even within Japan, about the nature of the geisha profession. Geisha are frequently depicted as expensive prostitutes in Western popular culture. Geisha are entertainers, their purpose being to entertain their customer, be it by reciting verse, playing musical instruments, or engaging in light conversation. Geisha engagements may include flirting with men and playful innuendos; however, clients know that nothing more can be expected. In a social style that is uniquely Japanese, men are amused by the illusion of that which is never to be. Geisha do not engage in paid sex with clients.

When Gary Smith was released from the New York State Department of Corrections, he was determined to make right the wrongs of his past. Professionally, he knew he wanted to work in a field where he could help others, but was uncertain about how to achieve his goal in a struggling economy.
During his time in prison, Gary learned that The Osborne Association had received funds to start a program training for formerly incarcerated individuals to compete in the clean energy sector. He immediately began searching for work upon his release without success. Feeling discouraged, he turned to The Osborne Association's Green Career Center where he studied building science, sharpened his public speaking skills and learned the value of proper professional conduct. The Osborne Association offers a broad range of treatment, education and vocational services to more than 6,000 people each year. Supported by funding from NYSERDA and the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act, The Osborne Association launched the Green Career Center to positively impact the lives of formerly incarcerated individuals, as well as the economy, society and the environment.
As one of Solar One's six major training partners, The Osborne Association identifies ten groups per year to receive additional training in Solar One's building performance,electrical retrofit and energy efficiency and renewable core courses. The trainers at the Green Career Center and the educators and staff at Solar One immediately recognized Gary as a top performer.
Gary pursued further training and education that helped him earn his Building Analyst certification from the Building Performance Institute (BPI). He was also offered an internship with Envirolution's Win-Win training program for entry-level energy auditors.Around the same time, Solar One was looking for someone to direct its tenant education program. That's when all the pieces of Gary's professional journey fell into place.
With the skills and professional recommendations to back him, Solar One wasted no time hiring Gary as its Tenant Education ProgramCoordinator. His work in this role fits well with NYSERDA's efforts to address the energy andoperational needs of multifamily buildings. Gary teaches tenants living in affordable housing how they can sustain the energy gains in buildings that have undergone weatherization and efficiency improvements. They learn how to cut energy costs, conserve water, properly recycle and improve indoor air quality, and Gary fulfills his dream of helping society, sustaining the planet and providing for his family.
Gary says his confidence is soaring and there is nothing he can't complete. He hopes to start his own company performing energy efficiency retrofits and upgrades for homes and small businesses. "I plan to give others the same chance that The Osborne Association, Envirolution and Solar One have given me."

Great Customer Service/Quick
Rose Tradition Rectangle Invitations Loved that you can change the coloration of the cards to make your color theme. We placed our order and of course forgot to add something. Customer service was great, was able to change it for us right away. Very happy, affordable wedding invitations!
Elegant and Gorgeous Invitation!
A Rose Bouquet Rectangle Invitations MagnetStreet is Amazing. The invitations were able to be customized to my upcoming wedding. Being able to change wording, font, and color meant a lot. The card stock is sturdy and was delivered very quickly and arrived nicely packaged in a blue box. I love my wedding invitations and have already gotten many compliments on them! Thank you Magnet Street!
Love them!
Rose Tradition Rectangle Invitations I loved this design! They came out great! The only thing I would have changed was if you could have made just the rose a different color but even that didn't bother me enough because I loved them! The response cards come in a different rose pattern so I used the escort cards as response cards since they matched with the invitation. It was really quick and simple to play around with colors and fonts. They customer service was very quick in response and extremely nice and helpful. The paper is high quality and is a heavier card stock which made them look like I paid so much for them even when they were reasonable in price. I can not wait to send them out!
Very pleased!
Rose Tradition Rectangle Invitations I love how you can customize any design and they were very helpful with my special request for the designer! My invites are so pretty!

Aeros turn things up a notch...
Monday was for intros and more players started trickling in on Tuesday. But today, the Aeros got down to business with a nice practice, followed by a break and then a hard-fought green vs. red scrimmage.
Just two days before their first preseason game against the OKC Barons, the Aeros worked through a little bit of everything. 2-on-1s, faceoffs, breakouts - you name it, they did it. And right now is the time when everyone looks big, everyone looks fast and everyone knows what they are doing with the puck.
Former Aeros defenseman Steve Jacques attended, and those words came right out of his mouth. I talked to Aeros PR guy Rich Bocchini and play-by-pay man Joe O'Donnell. All looked to be in mid-season form, based on the number of ice cream sandwiches missing from the inventory.
(I tried to get a picture of that, but I don't want to give away TOO many team secrets. Instead, I hope you like my arsty iPhone picture of the stick rack .... )
But on a serious note, Torch was raring to go and had the boys at a pleasing pace well before the first player left the ice.
"That was a really good pace we had out there today," said Torchetti. "We have to keep the guys sharp. I was really happy with them today. Right not is is about getting the systems down and seeing what the players can do."
Two guys that stood out to be were forward/defenseman Mike Hoffman and Mike Kramer. Both goaltenders looked good during the scrimmage, and unless I missed anything, Kuemper didn't let anything by for the green, including a great stop on Jon DiSalvatore.
Speaking of Sal, I talked to him before the scrimmage, and he said expectations are way up top for the team that includes a key group of returning players.
"All of the pieces are there, and then you add another year of maturity to our defensive core and our second and third-year guys," said DiSalvatore. "We're all really excited about the personnel and the foundation."
The team will practice tomorrow, bus to OKC and spend the night. I assume they'll skate there Friday morning in advance of the first preseason game Friday night. I did not get a great look at the lineup, but it looks like the main veterans will be hanging back for this one.
A lot of the fringe guys, especially those on tryout, will get a chance to shot what they've got against the Barons.
A few assigned players had not yet made it done. Missing Wednesday were veteran Jeff Taffe and rookie Kris Foucault. Both are expected soon, and Foucault should be ready in time to catch the bus to OKC.
That is all for now; I look forward to hearing your thoughts and expectations for the 2011-12 team.

arsty pictures are all the rage these days! Good write up, new papa Andrew!

I'm not entirely sure what to think.
Screwy division - - none of the parent teams made the playoffs last season. Will the teams be good because of the chance to get the call, or decimated because of call ups, or both during the same season?
In the one Wild preseason game I saw they were awful. Of course they didn't have Heatly or Settiwhatshisname, but that didn't explain giving up four PPG on 12 shots. Or necessarily explain having trouble gaining the attack zone on a 5-on-3 power play (sound familiar? Seen it before somewhere?).
The Aeros lost a lot of offense in Sully (even though he misteriously vanished during the playoffs), Gilies, Robbie, JM, Max, et. al. We will probably lose Wellman and Almond part time, too.
The Aeros should be the same or better on defense and in net, though we will lose guys to Minny here too.
It looks like most of the young talent they were so hot to trot in front of the cameras during "Becoming Wild" won't be here for another year or even two. Don't count on Granlund being in an Aeros uniform at all (OK, at most 3-4 weeks). And that's assuming he even comes back from whatever KHL gig he reportedly signed up for.
Big question, can Torch teach this group to be honey badgers as well as Yeosy did? I assume that is the system Yeo wants run here.
So, without a real clear picture of what's going on elsewhere, I'll stick my finger hestantly into the wind and say around 5th or 6th in the conference....

Managers in practices, just like those in any other business, get stuck in the middle. And it's uncomfortable to be wedged
in between you docs, who want things done your way—the right way—and a team that thinks the manager should have the influence
and authority to control you when it needs the boss reined in. Just for thought, here are some ways you get your manager tied
in knots:
• Make exceptions to your rules. You sit your manager down and lay down the law. "We're not letting clients charge around here anymore." Then what happens?
Mrs. Jones comes in the exam room and complains about your new policy. She has been with you since the beginning. You decide
your new rule applies to everyone but her. And you totally pull the legs out from under your manager and your policy.
• Hold back on necessary resources and support. Let's say you tell your manager to set up a training program. But then you grumble about paying team members for the time,
you don't want to provide lunch, and you grouse about the cost of materials. That approach doesn't say, "I think this training
is really important."
• Give lots of jobs, but not much guidance. Every day you add to the list of things to manage: inventory, accounts receivable, team members. But you follow up your request
with a firm statement that the manager can't work more than 40 hours a week. To bridge the gap, help prioritize so the manager
knows what to do today, this week, and this month.
Do you not have a manager? You may need one. This key person can save you hours every week—time you could spend on actually
providing care for patients. But when you put the right person in place, try not to squash his or her energy and enthusiasm.

Today's manufacturing enterprise is challenged by rising material costs, increasing competition, and ever-changing customer requirements. If a manufacturer's Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) solution is not up to par, these companies are faced with dizzying levels of complexity, duplication of effort, and in the worse cases, poor quality and customer service.
This paper describes the warning signs that an ERP system is killing a business, and suggests how companies can thrive with a new approach to business systems.

We Are Losing the War Against Email
- By Gideon Lichfield

- January 3, 2013
- Leave a comment
Cue, an app for organizing your online personal information, collects data about its users and has come up with a number of interesting discoveries, among them: it is taking people around 10% longer, on average, to answer their email than it did a year ago.
This is probably partly because people are just getting more email. The Radicati Group, a market research firm, estimated in 2011 that the average corporate email user would be sending and receiving about five extra emails a day each year from 2011 to 2015—or a 4 percent -5 percent annual increase.
But then there's all the extra time people spend on every other form of communication, like text messages, instant message chats, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat… all of which are frankly a lot more fun than email. And quicker too. And given the increasingly tiny increments of time into which our days our divided, it's amazing we answer email at all.

HARRISONBURG - The "EndItMovement" was on its way to Washington, D.C., but made a stop to James Madison University's campus Thursday. The movement is trying to bring awareness to the world's slavery problem.
Todd Linder is one of the members of the East Coast road team and said he and others are trying to awaken the nation. He believes this is a major problem and everyone should realize how this issue must end. Linder feels this isn't a problem that will solve itself.
"To be a part of the EndItMovement,just means to be a part of ending slavery. It's not about the van. It's not about the people. It's about the people who are enslaved and bringing them out of slavery," said Linder.
The EndItMovement started on Feb. 1 and will continue until April 9. Twenty seven million people are still enslaved and members of the group hope this will make a difference.

The Buffalo Bills offered a straightforward injury report for Sunday's game against the Kansas City Chiefs in Ralph Wilson Stadium.
Running back Fred Jackson did not practice because of his knee injury, and defensive end Marcell Dareus was absent to tend to family business. Jackson won't play. Dareus probably will.
The Chiefs' report is longer and includes three potential starters.
Nose tackle Anthony Toribio (ankle) and safety Kendrick Lewis (shoulder) did not practice Wednesday, while left cornerback Brandon Flowers (foot) was limited. All three were deactivated for the Chiefs' season opener against the Atlanta Falcons.
Also on the Chiefs' injury report were receiver Devon Wylie (hamstring) and defensive lineman Allen Bailey (ankle), who did not practice, and cornerback Jalil Brown (groin), who was limited.

Results 1 to 3 of 3
US captain in army intelligence went on his own to Libya to help train rebels
"Gadhafi was a real bad guy," he thought. "Why don't I get a passport and head over there?"
With little luggage and a lot of theoretical knowledge, Erwin left his home in the northwestern United States (he did not want everyone to know where he lives), arrived in Turkey, made his way to Egypt and eventually crossed the border into eastern Libya. He arrived in Benghazi May 13. He found what he had expected -- and worse.There he watched doctors, engineers, students, teachers, fathers, sons learn how to fire anti-aircraft guns. They were taught how to assemble and reassemble weapons almost every day.
But Erwin noticed they were lacking training in combat survival. Forget special forces, he said. The rebel fighters had not even gone through what every teenage recruit goes through at basic training for the U.S. Army.
"They didn't even understand the need to dig a foxhole when grad missiles are coming in," Erwin said. "You need something to jump into when you are under fire. They didn't know that."In July, Erwin returned home mainly out of concern for his wife, who worried about her husband, a lone American on the battlefields of Libya.Back at home, Erwin ponders the consequences of the experience.
He's a survivalist, and as such, has paid off his debts and stockpiled supplies in case U.S. civilization, as he knows it, comes to an end. He began a part-time business over a year ago as a preparedness consultant.
But now things seem even more uncertain.
Erwin knows that because he was a captain in army intelligence, the military might be irked about the fact that he traveled to Libya without its knowledge.
On his way to Libya, he said the FBI questioned him at New York's JFK airport.
I am curious to know if he was active duty or a reservist/national guardsman, not a good career move either way. He will probably lose his security clearance for starters.....Only two defining forces have ever offered to die for you, Jesus Christ and the American G.I.
One died for your soul, the other for your freedom. ~ Anon

Imagine sitting at home, reading a book, and playing with your kids. Now picture getting your normal paycheck to do it. We discovered hundreds of state workers doing just that including one who sat out over three-and-a-half years on administrative leave.
As a result of this story, just one month later the governor issued a directive to all state agencies: cease long and costly home assignments.
