Dragons Get 3-2 Walk-Off Win on Sunday
Dayton, Ohio—Dayton's Tanner Rahier slid around the tag of Lake County catcher Eric Haase to touch home plate with the winning run in the bottom of the ninth inning as the Dragons defeated the Captains 3-2 at Fifth Third Field. The win was the Dragons fourth "walk-off" win of the year.
Rahier started the bottom of the ninth with a double off the glove of diving Lake County center fielder Clint Frazier. Rahier went to third base on a wild pitch on the first delivery to the next hitter, Gabriel Rosa. Rosa then lifted a 1-2 pitch to medium deep center field. Frazier made the catch and fired a strong throw home as Rahier tagged and attempted to score. The throw was slightly to the third base side of the plate. Haase took the throw and tried to make a sweeping tag on Rahier, who tried to slide around the catcher. Rahier touched the plate with his hand just before the tag to end the game.
The Dragons took a 2-1 lead to the top of the ninth inning before Lake County tied the game on an RBI double by Nellie Rodriguez. Rosa, the Dragons center fielder, fell to the ground on the play and the ball landed just to his right, allowing Haase to score from first base to tie the game.
Rosa helped the Dragons to the lead in the seventh when he was hit by a pitch and then stole second and third before scoring on Joe Hudson's sacrifice fly to give the Dragons a 2-1 lead.
Dragons starting pitcher Amir Garrett worked the first three innings before leaving the game following a lengthy rain delay. Garrett did not allow a hit or a walk while striking out four and giving up an unearned run. Zack Weiss replaced Garrett and fired three no hit innings, walking one and striking out three. The Captains did not have a hit until Dorssys Paulino's bloop single to right with two outs in the seventh. They finished with four hits, three in the ninth inning.
Joel Bender, the third Dayton pitcher, improved to 4-0 with the win. He worked three innings, allowing four hits, one walk, and one run with four strikeouts.
The Dragons collected seven hits. Daniel Pigott was 3 for 4 to raise his average to .310. Carlton Daal was 2 for 3 with a run scored. Jon Matthews had one hit to extend his hitting streak to seven straight games.
The Dragons (3-7) host Lake County (7-3) in the last game of the series on Monday at Fifth Third Field at 7:00 p.m. Sal Romano (4-7, 3.96) will start for the Dragons against Lake County's Dace Kime (3-9, 5.09). The Dragons open a new series on Tuesday at 7:00 p.m. at Fifth Third Field against the Fort Wayne TinCaps.
All Dragons games can be heard on WONE Radio (980 AM) and via the internet at wone.com and through the Dragons Mobile App.
Notes: The game was delayed by rain for one hour, 38 minutes during the fourth inning.

CINCINNATI (AP) -- Johnny Cueto pitched seven solid innings, and the Cincinnati Reds stayed in the chase for the NL's top record by beating the Milwaukee Brewers 4-2 on Tuesday night after learning they'll be without their manager for the rest of the week.
The Brewers dropped back-to-back games for the first time in more than a month, and it came at a bad time. They started the day 3 1/2 games behind St. Louis for the final NL wild card spot.
They got no break from the Reds, who clinched the NL Central title on Saturday night.
Manager Dusty Baker met players before the game and revealed he suffered a mini-stroke in addition to being treated for an irregular heartbeat last week. The 63-year-old manager hopes to return to the dugout next week.
CINCINNATI (AP) -- Dusty Baker won't manage the Cincinnati Reds until the final series in St. Louis, giving him time to recover from an irregular heartbeat that left him hospitalized last week.
Baker met with owner Bob Castellini and his team on Tuesday before a game against the Brewers. Bench coach Chris Speier said he'll manage the final three home games against Milwaukee and three in Pittsburgh over the weekend, with Baker taking over for the last three games next week.
The 63-year-old manager was hospitalized in Chicago last Wednesday for an irregular heartbeat, a problem he's had for a while. He was in the hospital for four days, missing the Reds' 6-0 win over the Dodgers on Saturday night that clinched the NL Central title.
CHICAGO (AP) -- The Chicago White Sox have lost sole possession of first place in the AL Central race, with the Indians playing spoiler. Gordon Beckham hit into a game-ending forceout with the potential tying run on second base yesterday as the Indians downed the White Sox 4-3.
Down 4-0 in the fourth inning, the White Sox closed within a run when Paul Konerko homered off Chris Perez leading off the ninth. Perez walked a pair of batters with two outs, and Beckham grounded to shortstop Asdrubal Cabrera, who threw to second baseman Jason Kipnis for the force.
Chicago (82-72) had held sole possession of the division lead since September 3. Detroit pulled into a tie for the division lead with its win over Kansas City last night.
COLUMBUS, Ohio (AP) -- Through four games and four victories, Ohio State's defense has faced a continual drumbeat of short passes, quick routes, screens and sweeps.
Every opponent, it seems, has relied on a sleight of hand.
Now the Buckeyes are looking forward to getting into familiar territory when they open Big Ten play.
When No. 14 Ohio State travels to 20th-ranked Michigan State on Saturday, the Buckeyes anticipate they'll run into a more conventional Midwestern attack. Granted, that means having to counteract the 244-pound blasts of the Spartans' massive Le'Veon Bell.
But after a month of chasing people, the Buckeyes think they might benefit from a change of pace from the subterfuge and rush-avoiding quick-hitters in a trade for raw man-on-man power struggles at the line of scrimmage.
EAST LANSING, Mich. (AP) -- Michigan State's lackluster win last weekend got to coach Mark Dantonio.
After the Spartans beat Eastern Michigan 23-7 Saturday, Dantonio hurried through a terse news conference full of abrupt answers. The Michigan State coach said "next question" seven times in under a minute and was clearly annoyed with the way his team played.
On Tuesday, Dantonio spoke with reporters for around a half-hour, but Michigan State isn't making any players or assistants available this week. The Spartans' coach is trying to send a clear message to his players that it's time to get serious.

PRIME HOOK, Del.- The U.S. Fish and Wildlife service has received $68.2 million in Hurricane Sandy relief aid to make repairs at 25 wildlife refuges along the east coast. The Prime Hook National Wildlife Refuge is among the locations to be repaired.
On days like Friday when the rain is heavy and steady, Prime Hook Road, the only road into the community can flood and even become impassable.
"It's dangerous and you have to go slow. You have to dodge the deep spots on the road and you have to plan ahead. You don't want to get stuck out here," said Scott Walker of Prime Hook.
Breaches in the dunes at Prime Hook are the cause of the flooding problem. A problem that only intensified when Hurricane Sandy came up the coast in late October. Now months later, the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service has received money to make repairs at Prime Hook.
"We're glad to hear that something may get done but the track record of fish and wildlife and how they spend and allocate money is not good," said Richard Rogers of Prime Hook.
Rogers said Prime Hook residents have been calling for repairs to these breaches for years. Fish and Wildlife plan to rebuild a low dune that was destroyed by the hurricane. Rogers said that may not be enough.
"I'm not sure just dumping sand on top of the breaches will fix the breaches."
The 68 million dollars will be spread out at 25 different wildlife refuge locations and the amount of money that will be used in Prime Hook is still uncertain.
Scott Walker of Prime Hook hopes it is just enough to end the constant frustration caused by the flooding.
"The problem is the breach and once they've got that secured, they do have flood gates at the north and the south of this road to control the tides. So, I can see how it is an easy problem to fix, it only needs money."

Nuclear Material On The Loose
"The Obama administration is warning that the danger of a terrorist attack with nuclear weapons is increasing, but U.S. officials say the claim is not based on new intelligence and questioned whether the threat is being overstated."
-Washington Times, April 14, 2010
I don't agree with President Obama on a number of things, but here's one we do see eye-to-eye on:
The threat posed by nuclear terrorism.
Consider recent events in the former Soviet Union. Desmond Butler of the Associated Press reported back on December 9:
Despite years of effort and hundreds of millions of dollars spent in the fight against the illicit sale of nuclear contraband, the black market remains active in the countries around the former Soviet Union. The radioactive materials, mostly left over from the Cold War, include nuclear bomb-grade uranium and plutonium, and dirty-bomb isotopes like cesium and iridium.
The extent of the black market is unknown, but a steady stream of attempted sales of radioactive materials in recent years suggests smugglers have sometimes crossed borders undetected. Since the formation of a special nuclear police unit in 2005 with U.S. help and funding, 15 investigations have been launched in Georgia and dozens of people arrested.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
And what of the years between 1991 (Georgian independence) and 2005? I shudder to think how much radioactive material might have found their way across the Georgian border and into the hands of the bad guys during those 14 years.
According to the piece, highly-enriched uranium has also recently been seized from smugglers in Moldova, another former Soviet republic.
From the Council on Foreign Relations website:
There have been no confirmed reports of missing or stolen former-Soviet nuclear weapons, but there is ample evidence of a significant black market in nuclear materials. The International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) has reported more than a hundred nuclear smuggling incidents since 1993, eighteen of which involved highly enriched uranium, the key ingredient in an atomic bomb and the most dangerous product on the nuclear black market.
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
That portion of the CFR website was last updated in January 2006.
While the Council said there have been no confirmed reports of missing or stolen nuclear weapons, the same can't be said of nuclear material. Butler added:
Russia maintains that it has secured its radioactive material — including bomb-grade uranium and plutonium — and that Georgia has exaggerated the risk because of political tension with Moscow. But while the vast majority of the former Soviet Union's nuclear arsenal and radioactive material has been secured, U.S. officials say that some material in the region remains loose.
"Without a doubt, we are aware and have been over the last several years that not all nuclear material is accounted for," says Simon Limage, deputy assistant secretary for non-proliferation programs at the U.S. State Department. "It is true that a portion that we are concerned about continues to be outside of regulatory control."
(Editor's note: Italics added for emphasis)
"U.S. officials say that some material in the region remains loose."
If smuggling is taking place and the whereabouts of the nuclear material is unknown, I wonder if the above shouldn't be changed to "some material from the region remains loose?"
Since illegal aliens and drugs routinely manage to find their way into the United States, it requires no stretch of the mind to envision nuclear material for a terrorist weapon also being smuggled in.
Butler's incredibly-informative piece be read on the Yahoo! News website here.

NORMAN — When former U.S. Senator and 1972 presidential candidate George McGovern visited Norman in April, he was a bit tardy delivering the biennial Josh Lee Lecture on the OU campus. He had been resting in the OU Forum building and no one woke him in time.
He joked that the audience could safely call him "the late George McGovern." Mr. McGovern died this past weekend at age 90.
The crowd in the OU Forum would have waited all afternoon to hear the Senator.
He talked about his pilot training and early married life in Muskogee. He hitchhiked home to South Dakota to get married and rode the train back with his new wife, Eleanor. It was so crowded, they stood the entire trip back.
Sen. McGovern's vow to end the war in Vietnam if elected in 1972 came from his own war experience. He flew 35 bombing missions in a B-24 and lost countless friends in World War II.
"I developed a full appreciation of the sacrifices of war. We never should do that unless we are sure that it is a conflict that justifies the sacrifices of our sons and grandsons," McGovern said in Norman. "I literally weep for the young men who died in Vietnam."

The 3 most common part(s) or condition(s) which contribute to the symptom Refrigerator leaking water are listed below. Check or test each item and watch any available videos. If you are still unable to solve the problem you may need to do additional research and troubleshooting. Remember, with our 365 Days. Period.® return policy you can return any part for any reason. So, go ahead and buy it to try it. No other parts retailer offers this unconditional return policy.
For the symptom you selected, these are the most common parts or causes, ordered by the likelihood of fixing the symptom.
If the refrigerator is leaking water it's possible that the refrigerator has a clogged or freezing defrost drain. If the defrost drain freezes the defrost water will overflow the drain and drip down to the bottom of the compartment, If enough water accumulates in the bottom it can run out onto the floor. Thaw any ice that is clogging the drain. Make sure the drain is clear by flushing it with a turkey baster and HOT water.
RepairClinic Item # 2705494
If the refrigerator is leaking water the water valve may be cracked or have a loose fitting. The water inlet valve requires a minimum of 20 psi to shut off properly. If the water inlet valve does not shut off properly and the water pressure is good, replace the water inlet valve.

RepairClinic Item # 1379144
If the refrigerator is leaking water the drain pan might be cracked. All self-defrosting refrigerators have a drain pan. The drain pan is underneath the refrigerator or near the compressor. When the refrigerator goes into the defrost cycle the frost and ice that is melted off of the evaporator coils flows down a small tube and into the drain pan below. The condenser fan blows warm air from the condenser coils across the top of the drain pan to evaporate the water quickly and so the drain pan never has to be emptied. However, if it cracks, the water from the defrost cycle will spill out of the pan onto the floor.

The social sciences are the place for you if you want to make a difference in the world.
In the Department of Anthropology, Sociology, and Reconciliation Studies at Bethel, we explore social and cultural life to understand tough issues facing communities.
Through majors and minors in the social sciences, our students build skills so they can meet today's challenges—conflict, rapid urbanization, huge gaps between classes—and respond through an informed Christian faith.
One of our majors, reconciliation studies, is unique to Bethel with its focus on diversity, conflict mediation, social justice, and reconciliation theology. And many of our students earn a second major or minor in another field.
We're committed to engaging students in cross-cultural experiences in real communities through off-campus programs. Students also gain a diverse perspective right in the classroom from a faculty that is 50% persons of color, including professors from China and Nigeria.
And once our graduates leave Bethel, they're prepared for a range of careers, serving in fields like public service, nonprofit work, ministry, and education.

Lawmaker takes a stand against hurricane relief
- By Dashiell Bennett
- The Wire
- October 31, 2012
- Leave a comment
Rep. Steve King of Iowa is defending his vote against relief for Hurricane Katrina, because he claims some of the money was spent on "Gucci bags and massage parlors." During a debate in Mason City, Iowa, last night, King said he doesn't want to sign off on federal spending for disaster recovery from Hurricane Sandy either, unless he sees (and likes) a detailed plan for how the money will be spent.
In 2005, King was one of only 11 Congress members to vote against a $50 billion Hurricane Katrina relief bill, an issue that was expected to come up again given the talk about how to handle the current disaster (and reporters trying to pin down Mitt Romney on his FEMA stance.) King mocked the idea the plan that was submitted for Katrina, because it included appropriations for "mitigating future disaster." He said he would make the same demands on Northeast states before releasing federal dollars to help with Sandy's recovery, and not give "one big shot that just opens up the checkbook, because they spent it on Gucci bags and massage parlors and everything you can think of."

"Nine White House officials, including policy advisers to President Bush and Vice President Dick Cheney" reviewed the park's initial decision to close the pass, and some apparently called for a reconsideration, according to an Associated Press investigation that didn't identify the Bush advisers. "It was a jaw-dropper," says Tim Stevens, a regional representative for the National Parks and Conservation Association, which supported the decision to close the pass. "The makeup of the 'study group' was completely skewed."
When the study group concluded last summer, regional Park Service Director Mike Snyder announced the decision: Sylvan Pass will be kept open in winter after all, using the artillery and helicopter when necessary. About three weeks have been shaved off the winter tourist season: The rangers will try to keep the pass open from Dec. 22 to March 1. And, in tune with the park planners' desire to reduce overall winter traffic, vehicle numbers have been slightly lowered to no more than 40 snowmobiles and two snowcoach trips per day.
The deal contrasts with another Park Service decision regarding avalanches. Glacier National Park officials announced last November that they will not use artillery to reduce avalanches that threaten a railroad's tracks, except in "extreme" situations where it's essential to save lives. But Glacier officials didn't have to contend with tourism businesses and Buffalo Bill's legacy.
This winter has been especially dicey: Amid wicked weather, avalanches around the West have killed at least 16 snowmobilers, skiers and other people. On Sylvan Pass, rangers have triggered avalanches on at least seven days, firing more than 80 artillery shells. At least once, they used a helicopter to deliver blasts. They've had to close the pass while conducting those missions, causing even more uncertainty for people outside the east gate.
"It's been frustrating," says Gary Fales, who runs Rimrock Dude Ranch, which has outfitted and guided snowmobile tours for at least 15 winters. He has only a handful of regular customers left, including some Army soldiers who come from Iraq every winter. "We haven't been able to count on anything."
The park bosses hope to make the Sylvan Pass mission safer by buying three new over-snow vehicles for rescues, ambulance and crew transport. They also want to install more concrete reinforcement for the howitzer position and a hut where rangers can huddle for warmth. But such safety measures could cost as much as $4 million, and it's not clear where the money will come from.
Asked about the risks rangers face, Longden speaks carefully. "I think we operate very safely," she says. "We have a very good, professional program." But, she adds, "It's never 100 percent safe. We know that."

By KIM SMITH DEDAM
---- — LAKE PLACID — Adirondack whitewater guide Jason Smith did not grow up in Scouting, but he helped lead many Lake Placid Outing Club adventures for the Boy Scouts.
"I met Ian McMullen probably when he was 13, and we started on a flat-water paddling course. He was always a smart, good, responsible kid. Now he works with me at the shop at Adirondack Lakes and Trails.
"I met Luke Eckert in the same manner. He was the kid who learned to roll (in a kayak) faster than anybody else. Luke is now this young adult with lots of confidence and true leadership qualities. I've seen them both go from being students to leaders," Jason said.
Both young men, Jason observed, have made the transition to being part of the tight-knit Adirondack paddling community.
It is somewhat unusual for the Boy Scouts to present an award to someone outside of the organization, the guide surmised.
But it is likely that the long-term training time spent with Luke and Ian led to the commendation.
"The award itself is certainly an honor," Jason said.
"I look to accept for all those who have been caught in a life-or-death situation, no matter the outcome. There are a lot of people who act and lend a hand in a life-saving event who go unrecognized. I am accepting this award for all of them."
In 102 years of Boy Scouts' history, only 270 people have earned the Honor Award with Crossed Palms commendation, according to Twin Rivers Adirondack District Executive Ryan Lee, who is based in Plattsburgh.
Ian grew up as part of Troop 10 in Lake Placid and Luke with Troop 12 in Paul Smiths.
Both participated in Crew 525, an adventure group, after they achieved Eagle Scout status.
The Boy Scout of America National Court of Honor Ceremony for Jason, Ian and Luke will be held 2 to 3 p.m. Sunday at Paul Smith's College. It is open to the public.

SERIES RECORD: DePaul leads the overall series 13-0.
LAST MEETING: DePaul defeated Valpo three times during the 1990-1991 season, the last time the two schools met on the hardwood. The Blue Demons defeated the Crusaders 100-85 in the final meeting at the North Star Conference Tournament held in Green Bay, Wis.
The Valparaiso Crusaders return to the Athletics-Recreation Center on Friday evening as the Brown and Gold hosts DePaul. Valpo is looking for its second straight victory after defeating Ball State 88-82 on Saturday afternoon.
RECORD SETTING NIGHT: Suzie Hammel shot lights out against Ball State from three-point range. The junior guard tied Lynda Kukla's school record with eight treys. Hammel made her first seven of the second half and went 8-for-11 on the game. The eight made ties her with three others for the most treys made in a game this season in Division I.

She came back on Saturday with seven points against Ball State in 23 minutes.
KNOCKING THEM DOWN: Lauren Bechtold has looked like anything but a freshman at the free throw line in the early going. She currently leads the Mid-Con in free throw percentage at 93.3% (14-of-15). The rookie made her first 12 in a row before missing against Notre Dame.
TOUGH SCHEDULE: DePaul represents the fourth team Valparaiso has played already this season that participated in postseason action last year. The Blue Demons competed in the WNIT alongside Valpo. The Crusaders have also played NCAA Tournament teams Texas Tech and Notre Dame, along with WNIT participant Ball State.
BENCH SUPPORT: Valpo's bench has played a major role in the Crusaders last two games. The Brown and Gold scored 27 points off of the bench against Ball State and 30 against Notre Dame.
DePAUL NOTES: DePaul enters tonight's game having won three straight and five of its last six contests. The Blue Demons are coming off of a 75-59 upset win over #8 Notre Dame on Wednesday evening.
The Blue Demons have been led by Jenni Dant in the early portion of the season. The sophomore guard is averaging 14.4 points per game, while leading DePaul with 23 points against Notre Dame.
Charlene Smith and Khara Smith each are averaging in double-figures as well. Charlene is tallying 11.3 points per contest, including a 19 point effort against the Fighting Irish. Khara is tallying 10.9 points per night, while bringing down a team-leading 7.6 rebounds per game.
DePaul has made three straight postseason appearances, all in the WNIT. The Blue Demons will travel to Toledo on Sunday for a battle with the Rockets to conclude a stretch of three games in five days.
DOWN THE ROAD: The Crusaders will travel to Loyola (Ill.) on Sunday afternoon for their final road game in 2002. Valpo will tip-off against the Ramblers at 1 p.m. The Brown and Gold will end the calendar year with a pair of home games. On Saturday, December 21, Valpo will host Indiana Wesleyan in a 2:05 p.m. game. The Crusaders will take an eight-day break from games before hosting Lehigh on December 29 at 2:05 p.m.

ANDERSON — A local man who was awarded with one of the highest volunteer honors in the state on Thursday had one thing to say about the experience.
Duane Hoak of Anderson received the Governor's Service Awards Lifetime Achievement Award at the ceremony at the Statehouse in Indianapolis, which also honored seven other recipients in other categories from around the state.
Hoak, a longtime resident of Anderson, has spent more than 40 years volunteering throughout Madison County in numerous capacities, including 26 years at Aspire Indiana, a mental health clinic, where he spent time as chairman of the board of directors. He also spent 37 years as a member of the United Way of Madison County, 30 years at Anderson Kiwanis Club and 17 years at the Madison County Youth Center.
A release from the Governor's Service Awards called Hoak "Mr. Kiwanian" because he held nearly every post at the club during his time there.
"The last three weeks have been very exciting, from the time I learned of the award to when I received it downtown," Hoak said. "Wow. It was just an amazing honor."
Hoak, who grew up in Toledo and moved to Anderson in 1969, spent time as vice president of Anderson University and has participated in 16 different organizations as a volunteer since moving to Madison County. Hoak said the experience of being rewarded has been as humbling as it is exciting.
"When I take the time to look back over 40 years and look at where my hand print has been, it feels good," Hoak said. "Because of the nature of volunteerism, volunteers seldom if ever do work for recognition. That's not why we do it. But we also know that it is very important for volunteers to be thanked, and we enjoy recognition. It's a motivation, when we realize we're making a difference. I don't go after it, but it's a good feeling."

text: Marc Cook Editor In Chief Age: 49 Height: 5'9" Weight: 195 Lbs. Inseam: 32 In. I really thought I'd outgrown the 600 class thanks to the evergreen Suzuki GSX-R750. I've always loved that model, and owned one for quite awhile, so just call me biased. But I've long felt it bridged the gap between brutish literbikes and high-revving, torque-challenged 600s most effectively—the 750 combines the lightness of the traditional middleweight without the need to nanny the powerband every second. For me, that made the 750 a perfect real-world sportbike. So much for that. The 636 feels every bit as strong in the midrange as the current GSX-R—in part because the Suzuki is geared quite tall—and is just as easy to use as a result. With modern electronics and the latest suspension, the 636 is the real sporting deal, beating the current GSX-R with pure competence. That you don't have to ride it like you're mad at it is all the difference in the world. Aaron Frank Editor At Large Age: 38 Height: 5'7" Weight: 155 Lbs. Inseam: 32 In. There are plenty of arbitrary reasons to build bikes to a specific displacement limit, like racing regulations or insurance cost tables. But there's no categorical rule that says 599cc is the optimum displacement for a middleweight sportbike. The Ninja ZX-6R shows how much benefit a bit of added displacement brings in terms of improved performance. And with the addition of traction control, power modes and optional ABS, the Kawasaki is an undeniably modern motorcycle. It's got a compact-yet-comfortable layout, ultra-neutral handling and impressive features that make it the complete sportbike package for 2013. Like Cook, I'm a former GSX-R750 owner but my decade-long love affair with that bike might be over. Zack Courts Associate Editor Age: 29 Height: 6'2" Weight: 185 Lbs. Inseam: 34 In. Make no mistake, this new ZX-6R is more than 37 additional cubic centimeters. If you think Ari is sipping the Kawasaki Kool-Aid and fawning too much over this new 636, think again. It really is an awesome package. Yes, the extra displacement helps, but it's the way it delivers power that is so impressive. The motor is endlessly willing, making power everywhere without a hint of a rattle in the fairing or a buzz in the pegs. It's docile around town, but exceptionally potent by the time the revs hit five digits. As if that weren't enough, the rest of the bike is an equal match. The brakes are superb, the ergos are comfy, and the electronics package is both tidy and useful. « | 1 | 2 | 3 | 4 | 5 | 6 | » | View Full Article By Ari Henning Enjoyed this Post?

"Randy [Starkman (1960-April 16, 2012)] lived by the same motto as the rest of us. The Olympics isnt every four years, its every single day. He just got it." --Canadian Olympic kayaker Adam van Koeverden
If you follow Jeremy Ten's tweets, it would be hard to tell that he's a skater: between his job and school, it's surprising he has enough time to sleep, and with skating, I'm not sure he does.

I've followed Jeremy's tweets and I dont know how he does it. Plus he's always to up-beat.

John Coughlin's job struck me as a cushy colorado training center job like the work study jobs students have. Give a guy a job with something easy to do and soon he's looking for help. LOL.
You should never write words with numbers. Unless you're seven. Or your name is Prince. - "Weird Al" Yankovic, "Word Crimes"
Very interesting article. Thanks for posting.
The concern I have with reading this is the fatigue that some of these skaters have. Whilst they may not admit it, constant fatigue is a real safety issue. Particularly if are the guy in a pairs or dance team lifting the girl. It only takes one mistake and a serious accident could happen. On the other hand even just driving to the rink is a risk in itself.
When you are up to your arse in alligators it is difficult to remember you were only meant to be draining the swamp.
I can definitely understand where fatigue would be a concern... but I think overall these athletes are probably physically/mentally okay working these hours because it continues the lifestyle they've always known as a student/athlete in their teens.
Many (perhaps a majority) of elite athletes live the life style of a stereotypical American "over achiever"/"high achiever" student... so working 30 or more hours a week just replaces the time they may have spent on high school. Especially if they're able to work two full days on the weekends, that leaves only about 14-16 hours spread across Mon-Fri. Not bad at all.
Now for those that are working 30+ hours a week, attending college part-time and skating... that's pushing it for most people to balance. Those attending college full-time, working those hours and skating? But, most athletes don't make it to this level by lacking a significant work ethic, drive, and dedication to all aspects of their life.
Seems a hard life, especially the part about Jeremy Ten. I just think that focus is actually quite important. I feel like colleges should offer some kind of over-achiever scholarship for them somehow.
Several pair guys in Boston work part time - Tyler Harris is a shift manager at Starbucks; Simon Schnapir is also a barista there; and Andrew Speroff is employed at a work out facility. These guys work hard and are willing to do what it takes!
I have great admiration for skaters who continue their education while competing at an elite level, but I also respect the skaters who work long hours (often at muliptle jobs) to help support their skating. The focus and commitment these young people deserve some
"The Devil is joining in, and that's never a good sign." Phil Liggett
My work-study jobs were no more cushy than other office and food service work I've done and the expectations were higher. The only thing that was cushy were the flexible hours, especially around finals time.
I had great bosses, though, who trained me for real life jobs. I never knew they were supposed to be cushy.

"The team doesn't get automatic capacity because management is mad" -- Greg Smith, agile guy
Work-study tends to be non-manual labor, and not intellectually demanding work. Also, it's generally paid twice the normal salary so a student can earn a lot more working far fewer hours. I don't know what people consider cushy, so I wouldn't use that term. But for the amount and type of work put in, the money is far in excess of normal pay scales for that work.
I never made more than minimum wage. The university paid a fraction -- I think 25% -- and the Federal government paid the rest. There was a limit to the number of hours, but I'm not sure if that was a Federal or university limit, since it was part of many financial aid packages.
I understand that Coughlin's job isn't as physically demanding as restaurant work, and the hours aren't as crazy, but most office or restaurant work isn't intellectually demanding, and I don't think there's any evidence that Coughlin is sitting eating bon bons and being paid the play video games (not your implication.) I wish there were as many office jobs with reasonable hours like that as elite athletes want.
"The team doesn't get automatic capacity because management is mad" -- Greg Smith, agile guy
Wow, I've never heard of work-study jobs paying minimum wage. Depends on the area, of course. But they generally paid 50-100% more than comparable non-work-study jobs.
Anyhow, none of this really applies to Coughlin since his isn't a work-study position, and who knows what he's being paid.
I never made more than minimum wage doing work study and you were only allowed to work a certain number of hours. I would have loved to work more hours and made more money.

Buffalo Races Past Valpo Sunday at Eastgate
Sunday, September 10, 2006The Buffalo Bulls scored the first four goals of the match and got a hat trick from Andrae Clarke en route to a 5-1 win over the Crusaders Sunday afternoon at Eastgate Field in Valparaiso, Ind.
Clarke scored in the 23rd and 29th minutes for the visitors, who led 3-0 at halftime. The senior finished the hat trick with the match's final tally, a penalty kick in the 77th minute.
For Valpo, it was their worst loss of the season, and marked the end of a three-match winning streak at home. The Brown and Gold lost for only the second time all season, surrendering a season-high number of goals.
Senior Mark Wolka (Rochester Hills, Mich./Lutheran North) came off the bench to record the only Crusader goal in the 73rd minute. Wolka put home a great flick into the box from Clifton Brown (Chillicohte, Ohio/Unioto) who received long pass from Andrew Stewart (Buffalo Grove, Ill./Stevenson). The goal was the second of the year for Wolka who did not tally a single goal in his first three seasons at Valpo.
Buffalo (2-2-1) out-shot the Crusaders 18-11, including a 13-7 edge on goal. Ryan Schwarz (Rockford, Ill./Boylan Catholic) made seven saves but suffered the loss. Daniel Bell made five stops for the Bulls and earned his second win of the year.
Valpo (4-2-0) will have five days to regroup before opening Mid-Continent Conference play Friday afternoon against Oral Roberts at 4:30 p.m. That match will be carried live on 95.1 FM, WVUR, and online at www.valpo.edu/athletics.

Both Shiloh and South Gwinnett High were involved in this year's Martin Luther King, Jr., Day parade, adding energy, enthusiasm and excitement to an event that drew hundreds of people.
"I think that the diversity we have in Snellville has allowed people to feel at home here," said New Jerusalem Baptist Church's Rev. Elijah Collins, "and not feel like they have to leave Snellville to celebrate the day. It gives the community an opportunity to celebrate the King Day in their own hometown."
Collins, who organized the event along with the City of Snellville, invited local officials and musicians to perform on the Snellville stage at City Hall after the event. Former Snellville councilman Melvin Everson, now the Executive Director and Administrator of Georgia Commission on Equal Opportunity, spoke to the crowd and marched in the parade with Mayor Kautz.
"As the former city councilman, I'm so proud of my city right now," said Everson.
"The unity we seek in communities such as Snellville is a function of freedom," he said to the large crowd. "That freedom comes from people being able to sit where they want; eat where they want; live where they want; go to school where they want; and be where they want to be...
"Here in Snellville," he said, "we [need to] work shoulder to shoulder to build the greatest community in the county of Gwinnett, and in the state of Georgia."
Time2Inspire Entertainment, Triple 7 Dance Company, Yewande, Cheyanne Osoria, Lea Nelson, the South Gwinnett marching band and JROTC, Shiloh marching band, New Jerusalem Baptist's choir and KeKe Wyatt all offered inspirational performances.
Wyatt was being filmed by BET for the show R&B Divas and performed "His Eye is on the Sparrow."
Mayor Kelly Kautz stated that she has always been eager to embrace the diversity of Snellville, and is proud of how the city has built on that momentum.
"Compared to the rest of the county, I believe we've come leaps and bounds when it comes to embracing our diversity," she said.
She and councilman Mike Sabbagh, Dave Emanuel and Mayor Pro Tem Tom Witts led the Pledge of Allegiance.

Episcopal see
An episcopal see (Latin: episcopalis sedes) is, in the original sense, the official seat of a bishop. This seat, which is also referred to as the bishop's cathedra, is placed in the bishop's principal church, which is therefore called the bishop's cathedral.[1] The seat is also called the bishop's throne, especially in the Eastern Orthodox Church.[2]
The term is also used of the town or place where the cathedral is located,[1] giving rise to expressions such as "the Episcopal See of Gibraltar".[3]
The bishop's seat is the earliest symbol of a bishop's authority,[1] and the word see is thus often applied to the office or authority of the bishop, or to the area over which the bishop exercises authority. This usually corresponds to a diocese, as in the expression "within the see of Ebbsfleet"[4] or "built within the see of the bishop of Worcester".[5] But it is sometimes given a wider significance, referring for instance to an area under patriarchal authority.[6]
In common English usage, the term Holy See most often refers to the episcopal see of the Bishop of Rome, commonly known as the Pope.

J.B. Holmes was a huge star at the Ryder Cup this week. I can't begin to tell you how the crowd loved him and Kenny Perry. But Holmes' drives were otherworldly. People are used to thinking that Tiger Woods and John Daly are long, and they are. But Holmes is truly prodigiously, outrageously long off the tee, bombing drives out near 400 yards routinely. I can't even explain to anyone not familiar with golf how huge that is. It puts every par 5 in the world within reach in two, and most par 6's (yes, there are par 6's, just not that many). Valhalla provided a forum for some serious hero stuff for UK's latest golfing prodigy, particularly in singles on the last day. He birdied 3 of the last 4 holes and missed a 5-footer on 15 for a birdie that would have made it 3 in a row and potentially ended the match 3 and 2 on 16 rather than 2 and 1 on 17. But then we would have missed that massive 380 yard drive on 17. Way to go, J.B.

On the weekend of March 2nd & 3rd hundreds of local families will gather to sing, dance, and play at two concerts for young children (birth through age 8) hosted by a group of Music Together directors from centers throughout Long Island and Queens in honor of the twenty-fifth anniversary of the early childhood music program and to raise money for the Long Beach School District, which was devastated by this fall's Superstorm Sandy.
On Saturday, March 2, the concert will be held from 3–5 PM at Knights of Columbus Hall in Patchogue (38 West First Street). During the event the one-hour concert begins 30 minutes after doors open. Tickets for each show are $13/adult and $8/child over 8 months of age (children under 8 months are FREE) and may be purchased online atwww.musictogetherliq.ticketleap.com.
The concert will feature teachers from several Music Together centers in Long Island and Queens singing favorite Music Together songs—and a special guest appearance by recording artist Gerry Dignan. "Uncle Gerry" is featured on the CDs given to the hundreds of thousands of families worldwide who take Music Together classes each year.
In addition to celebrating Music Together's longevity as a beloved early childhood music education program, the event is also a fundraiser for the Long Beach School District. Local businesses from all over Long Island (including Safari Adventure, iSchool of Music & Art, and Minuteman Press in Rockville Centre) have donated products and goods for a raffle contest that will take place during the show. All proceeds from ticket sales and the raffles will be donated to the district and earmarked for West Elementary School's Art & Music Department. West Elementary School has not re-opened since the storm, and the Long Beach school district is looking at recovery and repair costs estimated at around $20 million.
Celebrating its 25th Anniversary this academic year (2012-2013), Music Together is an internationally recognized early childhood music and movement program for children birth through age seven. The Music Together curriculum, coauthored in 1987 by Kenneth K. Guilmartin (Founder/Director) and Rowan University Professor of Music Education Dr. Lili M. Levinowitz (Director of Research), is based on the recognition that all children are musical: all children can learn to sing in tune, keep a beat, and participate with confidence in the music of our culture, provided that their early environment supports such learning. Music Together offers programs for families; schools; at-risk populations; and children with special needs, in over 2000 communities in 40 countries around the world. The company is passionately committed to bringing children and their caregivers closer through shared music-making and helping people discover the joy---and the educational value---of early music experiences. Classes are offered at many locations throughout Long Island and Queens. For more information about classes, please visit www.musictogetherLI-Queens.com.

Anyone using one? I have a line on one and I am considering it. Right now I have a denon 2910 and a Pioneer Elite DP-9.
Now before some say its not a fair fight to put the Caylin against the elite, remember the elite was a 1000$ and the new version is 1500 http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PU...dio/PD-D9MK2-K
so to me it is a fair fight.
I am mainly looking for the sacd quality of the Cayin vs the elite. For redbook I have it running through the W4s dac2. The Cayin has been tube rolled with 6922 RAM tubes. Any thoughts on it good or bad. Looking on the web, it has some good reviews after the EH 622 tubes were rolled.

It was fifteen years ago that "Men in Black" roared into theaters, delighting audiences with an engaging mix of science fiction adventure and silly comedy. With visions of dollar signs in their eyes, producers quickly green lit a sequel. Yet for some reason, the second film was underwhelming at the box office and stars Will Smith and Tommy Lee Jones even seemed to lose their passion for the "MiB" franchise.
So it's a bit odd to find "Men in Black III" coming to theaters this week. As you would expect from the movie, this is another silly science fiction adventure with some fun extraterrestrial creatures and a lot of cool gadgets and over-the-top action sequences. It's also very nice to see Will Smith back in the movies after a four year absence, but after a decade-long hiatus, the film itself seems a bit dusty. These Men in Black just don't have the cinematic magic that they had fifteen years ago.
The outlandish plot follows two Men in Black agents, who are basically sci fi cops in charge of policing all the extraterrestrials living here on earth. Smith and Jones play agents J and K, and the story kicks into high gear when J comes to work one day and finds that K has disappeared. He's not just gone missing — the man seems to have been erased from time.
It turns out that an vengeful alien (Jermaine Clement) has broken out of the moon's super max prison and traveled back in time to kill the agent who put him away so many years ago. That forces Agent J to also travel back in time to try and save his future partner. Josh Brolin plays the young K and there's a great inside joke about Tommy Lee Jones looking so old that they had to get a 44 year old actor to play him at age 29.
Brolin is amazing here, channeling Jones perfectly. He's got the mannerisms and drawl down pat. He also brings a bit more spirit to the character, which gives the story some much-needed energy. Smith, on the other hand, doesn't fare as well. "Men in Black III" finds Smith a little off his game. He's still very charismatic, but he's not at the same level as he was back in the mid-nineties.
The special effects and creature design start out strong but falter as the film progresses. The secondary characters are mostly wasted in a story that feels forced and is filled with plot holes — although to be fair, this isn't a movie where anybody will take the story too seriously.
Perhaps I shouldn't have re-watched the original film before the screening of "MiB III." That was a great movie and it's really not all that surprising to find that the sequel's story and characters are simply not up to par with the original film. Fans of the franchise will still want to see it and Will Smith should have star power to drag audiences into theaters, but this is not one of his better performances.
