The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — The challenge Oklahoma faces on Saturday night differs from the typical October game. Instead of combating a defense that takes any sort of gamble imaginable to force a turnover, it is simple brawn No. 5 Notre Dame will bring to Owen Field.
"There're a lot of similar characteristics: very disciplined, very well coached, very physical. Those patterns and similarities are consistent with a lot of great teams," OU defensive coordinator Mike Stoops said. "It's how you have to play.
But the eighth-ranked Sooners haven't faced many teams willing to plod their way into the end zone. The Big 12 Conference, which morphed into a passing league long ago, doesn't offer that week-to-week challenge.
One reason for OU to be concerned was its season was thrown for a loop when Kansas State methodically trudged its way to a 24-19 victory over the Sooners on Sept. 22.
Offensively, Notre Dame and Kansas State do differ. The Wildcats' main source of offense is quarterback Colin Klein running the ball.
Notre Dame will use two quarterbacks on Saturday — Everett Golson and Tommy Rees — but neither is going to be a main cog in the rushing attack.
The similarity is in the use of big bruising offensive lines and the desire to keep opposing teams' offenses on the bench.
The Fighting Irish do it with a three-headed running back attack of Theo Riddick, Ciere Wood and George Atkinson III. All three averaged over 40 rushing yards a game and at least 4.7 yards per carry.
The slugfest philosophy has worked. The Irish are 7-0 for the first time since 2003. One of the ways they've done that is by wearing teams down.
They've outscored teams 100-28 in the second half of games. That includes the overtime victory over Stanford two weeks ago.
"They're a team that's trying to establish the run early and trying to control the clock," OU middle linebacker Tom Wort said. "It's gonna be a challenge for us."
Lately, OU's been up the challenge. It's held Texas Tech, Texas and Kansas to under 3.5 yards per carry. Nevertheless, the Sooner defense got a tremendous amount of help in all three of those games. OU put up a minimum of 24 points in the first half of all three games. The Red Raiders, Longhorns and Jayhawks spent most of the games trying to play catch-up.
That advantage isn't always there.
"We're going to have to do a good job of controlling the line of scrimmage," defensive end David King said. "That's been a key for us the past three weeks. That's going to play a huge factor in deciding who wins Saturday."
In that sense, Sooners will get a shot at redemption. Three costly turnovers were what led to their loss to Kansas State. However, the Wildcats did rush for 50 yards in the fourth quarter with two touchdown drives and another to run the final four minutes off of the clock.
The Sooners were clearly pushed around when the game was on the line. Notre Dame has a seven-game winning streak because it can do the exact same thing with the ball.
"If we come out there and hit them in the mouth," defensive end Chuka Ndulue said. "They're gonna try to do the same."

The Daily Star
---- — How well do you know your town? Have you ever asked yourself what your town has to tell you from its past?
The New York State History Room has many town histories in its collection. Most relate to Delaware and Otsego counties. Some of the books we have are general county histories and gazetteers that will give you fun historical facts of the day too. It has been pretty hot here lately, but it has happened before. In July of the year 1911, Otsego County saw temperatures that reached 94 degrees and then in July of the following year temperatures got as low as 39 degrees.
Here is some information from some of our town history books.
In the book "Franklin Lore" by Maria Sherrill Miller Albrecht, we learn about the first meeting of one of the longest organizations of its kind, the Washington Reading Circle. Started by a group of women with the intent to study current and historical events, the Circle's motto is "Onward, upward, patriotic and progressive." Readers of "Franklin Lore" also discover that the Miller Family farm was a part of the Underground Railroad route up the Ouleout Valley. You will learn about the status of women, the first flower show, and Frank Pom — who got a welcoming from his father he never expected.
The book "Two Centuries in Westford" by the Westford Community Association highlights a range of topics for the town including businesses, education, families, servicemen, and more. Although once known as the honorary "Hop Capital of New York State," Westford has primarily supported a strong history of dairy farming. In 1933, there were 133 farms but this number had dropped to nine by 1985. Westford was home to the Maple Valley Cheese Factory. It started in 1890, the factory received the bulk of more than 20 farmers' daily milk production. The standard ratio was 10 pounds of milk to one pound of cheese. The cheese was packaged and shipped on the D&H to New York City. When Borden's arrived in 1920, and higher dairy prices lured farmers' away, Maple Valley Cheese closed. Westford is also home to famous sons Andrew Sloan Draper, the first Commissioner of Education for New York state, and Alden Chester, a future chief justice of the state Supreme Court.
Fly Creek
The Fly Creek Historical Society put a book out in the 1990s, "Fly Creek Area Yesteryear" that concentrated on the postcards and photographs of the area. A visual history of the town's progress and personalities, interior photographs of H.E. Jones Hardware Store, the Union Cotton Mill, the Toddsville Methodist Church, and a never completed trolley system over Mud and Chalk Lakes can be found in this book.
A bigger book, "The Story of Walton," covers 1775 to 1975 with topics from early pioneers to Walton's first automobile. Immediately seeing the potential of an automobile for his business, Dr. Holley traveled to Detroit to get one. It cost him $540 in 1901. The automobile was a one cylinder Oldsmobile. Another fact states the town of Walton was formed from the patent belonging to William Walton. He was involved with the formation of the first Chamber of Commerce, which became the New York State Chamber of Commerce. Fascinating early pioneer stories and their travels to Walton can be found in this book.
If you're researching an area town, stop in and use our town histories and discover the people, places, and industries of the past that have influenced our present.
Library Hours: 9 a.m. to 8 p.m. Monday through Thursday; 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. Friday; 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Saturday; closed Sunday.

Michelle Pokorny, VP Employee Engagement and Recognition(Maritz Inc)
Employees have spoken – and less than half of them are satisfied with their reward and recognition programs. Do you know how effective your programs and program investments are? To lead, manage and motivate 'human resources' requires us to have new, deeper insights into human behavior theory and what drives people to make choices and take action. To that end, this webinar will share some of the latest in human science, particularly from the area of social cognitive neuroscience and behavioral economics that shed new light on what really makes us tick. Further, we will look at a recent study fielded by Maritz Motivation Solutions, in conjunction with The Maritz Institute, which was conducted to help employers understand employee values, attitudes, intentions, and reward and recognition preferences. Results showed less than half of employees feel meaningfully rewarded and recognized, despite increased spending among companies to improve employee reward and recognition programs. In addition, the study indicated a relationship between how effectively employees felt rewarded and recognized and several factors that can be improved with good program design. The study also identified a relationship between feeling meaningfully recognized and levels of overall employee engagement. The study asked respondents questions that categorized them into one of four primary value segments– Altruists, Drivers, Pioneers and Stabilizers. By understanding the values held by each of these employee segments, companies can develop approaches that take into account the wants, needs and motivators for distinct employee groups. This knowledge can help companies tailor communications, rules, rewards and recognition to meaningfully engage more employees in achieving the company's mission and goals, and help better align business and personal goals for mutual benefit.
Who Should Participate

The Explanation
(for those who require one)
And, of course, that is what all of this is -- all of this: the one song, ever changing, ever reincarnated, that speaks somehow from and to and for that which is ineffable within us and without us, that is both prayer and deliverance, folly and wisdom, that inspires us to dance or smile or simply to go on, senselessly, incomprehensibly, beatifically, in the face of mortality and the truth that our lives are more ill-writ, ill-rhymed and fleeting than any song, except perhaps those songs -- that song, endlesly reincarnated -- born of that truth, be it the moon and June of that truth, or the wordless blue moan, or the rotgut or the elegant poetry of it. That nameless black-hulled ship of Ulysses, that long black train, that Terraplane, that mystery train, that Rocket '88', that Buick 6 -- same journey, same miracle, same end and endlessness."

The Oscar touted new release "There Will Be Blood", with Daniel Day-Lewis, makes it pretty clear how well Upton Sinclair knew how the world ran, and also how hard is was to be an honest man in that same world - this was a fine gesture, but ultimately, only that.

More and more people recently have opted to have cosmetic dental procedures. These procedures have taken our country by storm. Many people are improving the quality of their teeth, lives, and self esteem by having these dental procedures done. Their teeth and mouths have been looking a lot better and given them a smile similar to their favorite actor, actress, or celebrity. I have always thought about having some of these procedures done myself. I believe anyone can benefit from cosmetic dentistry. We are a nation that enjoys a lot of coffee and tobacco, therefore many of us should think about seeing a cosmetic dentist.
Years of drinking coffee, chewing tobacco, or smoking cigarettes can take its toll on the teeth. They get stained very easily and can cause others to prejudge us based on how our teeth look. Getting a teeth whitening can improve self esteem and quality of life in many ways. It can help us in a interview and get that job we always wanted or give us the confidence and motivation to approach someone who is attractive to us. People are also more willing to speak or be accepting of someone that has good oral hygiene and a shiny white smile.
Cosmetic dentists can also help people that are missing teeth or lost teeth in an accident. In the same sort of way that a plastic surgeon helps someone with a visually unappealing injury a cosmetic dentist helps those with an unappealing smile. Many things can cause tooth lose. Poor oral hygiene, tobacco use, and accidents especially in sports can cause tooth loss. Cosmetic dentists can fix these issues with dentures or dental implants. Imagine having a brand new set of teeth instead of spaces!
Cosmetic dentists can also help people whose teeth might be too small or too large. You might know someone who has very large teeth and are not proportional to that person's mouth. Cosmetic dentists can file or remove portions of the teeth to make them fit better in the mouth. But what about people whose teeth are too small, what can be done for them? Porcelain veneers and lumineers can be placed on the teeth in order to give them a larger appearance. That way, this person now has an even smile since all of the teeth are now proportional to each other and the person's mouth.

PITTSBORO — A Chatham County boy was handed over to U.S. authorities Friday after his father was convicted of kidnapping him six years ago, according to Kayley Taber, managing assistant district attorney for Chatham County.
Edwin Sanchez Gonzalez crossed the Mexican/American border at Brownsville, Texas, where he soon will be re-united with his mother, Florentina Gonzalez Coria.
Gonzalez was 2 years old when he taken from his mother on October 1, 2006 by his father, Jorge Sanchez Aguilera, and four masked men .
The men, led by Aguilera, held Coria, her cousin and father at gunpoint and duct taped them to chairs.
Aguilera then fled to Mexico with the boy where he lived for five years until Mexican Authorities located him last year. He was returned to Chatham County and convicted of three counts of first degree kidnapping, first degree burglary and second degree kidnapping for a charge two months prior to the boy's abduction.
Aguilera's sentencing has been continued until Dec. 10 with the intention that the child be returned before sentencing is handed down.

I am a doctoral student at the University of Maryland specializing in geography. I have a B.A. in American history with a minor in Spanish. I have a master's degree in education with experience tutoring students at all levels, pre-K through adult. I believe in breaking down the complexity of topics into understandable and relatable pieces. Students learn best when they can apply the knowledge to their life or relate it to something they already know. I can present a lesson I've designed or be spontaneous. If I help a student with their homework, I will not complete it with them. Rather, I use the assignment as an example for exercises I create on-the-spot. I will leave my work with the student so they have similar examples when they do the work later on their own.With enough patience, everyone can learn. I hope you'll give me a chance to help you.

The hardest part of most math problems is figuring out where to begin. I like to help students recognize their beginning point. After that, it's just a matter of following the steps.
I specialized in early American history during college. I took two survey courses in the American history sequence (covering colonial to modern history). I took in-depth courses on the following time periods: colonial (2 courses), revolutionary (2 courses), Civil War, late 1800s, and the history of American technology.
Though I didn't officially minor in biology, I have several college credits in the subject area. My coursework included the introductory sequence (with labs), ecology, animal physiology, a two-semester human physiology sequence (with labs), and the related areas of general chemistry, organic chemistry, statistics, and physics. I also have basic familiarity with genetics and microbiology. I teach college-level physical geography that includes about eight lectures on the biosphere. While the focus...

I believe the best way to learn grammar is through practice. Few schools teach sentence diagramming these days so I start by showing my students how to break the sentence down into its pieces. It's a lot easier to recognize the subject/predicate when you see them on a diagram.
During the course of my major in American history, I took several courses on the related area of western Europe. I had a survey course in western civilization (covering Europe from 1715 through the early 1950s), ancient Rome, ancient Greece, and a history of British-American relations. I also took a course in Soviet Russia.
I have several college credits in Spanish, including courses in grammar, composition, history/culture, and conversation. All of these classes were taught in Spanish only. I have taught intermediate Spanish with the Upward Bound program. I have tutored Spanish at the middle school, high school, and college level. My approach to grammar emphasizes the relationship between English and Spanish so that students learn the new information in a way that is familiar to them already. For younger students,...

I wrote my second thesis (in geography, 106 pages) using Chicago Manual. I have lots of experience navigating the intricacies of style guides and have an adept eye for catching details.In addition to my knowledge of citations, reference styles, and general paper guidelines, I have an excellent command of grammar...

I have a master's degree in geography with a specialization in economic and urban geography. I'm currently a doctoral student at the University of Maryland. My area of specialization is the mixture of human geography (places, capitals, economics, transportation, etc.) with physical geography (climate, agriculture, ecosystems, forestry, etc.).
I teach a college-level course on physical geography, a fancy way to say earth science. Topics include rocks, earthquakes, volcanoes, weathering and erosion, soil formation, and plate tectonics. I find the hardest part to learning geology is memorizing the many vocabulary words that are often brand-new to students. I like to use pictures to illustrate how things differ and to reinforce learning of concepts. Through time, and multiple images, students start to recognize the geological features...

I have real problems with Spanish and Michael was able to explain things in a different way than the professor so I could try to understand the grammar that is essential to intermediate Spanish. Explaining it first in English, then in Spanish helped me to get what the purpose of the lesson was and how to use it.

Research Interests:
Ecological and Epidemiological Effects of Small-Scale Badger Culling
In this DEFRA funded project I will be using historical data and epidemiological techniques to assess the likely impact of a selective badger culling policy on bovine tuberculosis in the UK
Amphibian Disease Ecology
My research in this area explores how the fungal pathogen, Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis, impacts upon its amphibian hosts at a range of spatial and biological scales.
At the broadest geographic scale I am interested in how host life-history, ecology and threat intensity interact in order to determine the susceptibility of a species. I am interested in using the rules-of-thumb obtained in such analyses to prioritise and direct conservation management options, and in assessing those options in order to implement cost-effective conservation. For further examples of this type of approach work, please see Bielby, J., Cooper, N., Cunningham, A.A., Garner, T.W.J. and Purvis, A. (2008) Predicting declines in the world's frogs. Conservation Letters 1(2): 82-90.
Efforts to mitigate the impacts of any given threat process, disease being no exception, are best directed at the level of the host population or community. In the case of Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis there is a great deal of variation in host competency within a community, with different species and even different age-classes within a species having different levels of risk of infection and proliferation of disease. This being the case I am interested in why variation in response to exposure to Bd exists at the population and community level and how this knowledge may be used to better direct conservation efforts. Understanding how this variation manifests itself in the transmission dynamics within a given system is my main area of interest at present.
Geographic and taxonomic variation in Batrachochytrium dendrobatidis infection and transmission within a highly endemic amphibian community, Bielby, J., Bovero, S., Angelini, C., Favelli, M., Gazzaniga, E., Perkins, M., Sotgiu, G., Tessa, G., Garner, T.W.J., Diversity and Distributions, Accepted.

Harold Ford featuring Laura Lucy as June Carter & the Cash Band
If you call yourself a fan of Country Music, you can't afford to miss this show. No doubt, Johnny Cash is the most iconic Country Artist of all time and with Nashville's country music press hailing this show as a must see/hear to believe, we believe you'll be talking about this one long after you stand and applaud for an encore.
Johnny Cash's music is presented in an informal ensemble of songs, spanning his entire career, creating a concert very similar to what Johnny would have produced and performed.True to Johnny's style of showcasing guest artists and sharing the stage, you will hear The Highwaymen and Carter family songs as well as Statler brother harmonies recreated.
The Cash Band is an extraordinarily talented team of four musicians/vocalists (lead guitar, upright bass, drums, rhythm guitar) who recreate the sounds of Johnny Cash's rhythm section.
From the distinct lead guitar of Luther Perkins (Sten Isachsen) to the upright slap bass of Marshall Grant (Mitch Throop) and the rolling drums of W.S. Holland (Peter Maine) expect a brilliant sound.Laura Lucy as June Carter embodies June's playful nature as she wraps the audience around her little finger. The endearing harmonies of Johnny and June come alive.
As every note unfolds, audiences sit mesmerized by the performance of Harold Ford and leave stunned.

Are you looking forward to those yummy leftovers from your Thanksgiving celebration? It might surprise you that leftovers stored in the refrigerator generally last only 3 or 4 days. If you think they might be good for a week or longer, you could be in for a disappointment!
To make sure this does not happen, refrigerate only the amount of turkey you think you will use in the next few days. Store the rest in the freezer, where it should be fine for 2 to 6 months.
Here are some detailed leftover and storage tips for holiday foods from the U.S. Department of Agriculture's Food Safety and Inspection Service:
Make sure perishable foods are left at room temperature for no longer than 2 hours before you refrigerate or freeze them. Bacteria can multiply quickly between 40 degrees F and 140 degrees F, so limit the amount of time food is in that "danger zone."
If the leftovers you are storing are very hot, take steps so they will cool rapidly. The food should reach the safe temperature of 40 degrees or below as quickly as possible. For example:
After cooling, wrap leftovers well in airtight packaging or in sealed storage containers. Whether the leftovers are stored in the refrigerator or the freezer, this will help keep them fresh by:
When freezing leftovers, mark the package with a date. Although freezing temperatures of 0 degrees F or below does prevent the growth of microorganisms that cause both food spoilage and foodborne illness, keeping foods frozen for too long can affect their quality.
If your home freezer has a "quick freeze" option, use it. Rapidly freezing foods prevents undesirable large ice crystals from forming. If you have a freestanding freezer in addition to your refrigerator-freezer, use it. It likely stays colder because it is not opened as often.
When reheating leftovers, be sure they reach an internal temperature of 165 degrees F. Use a food thermometer.

- Combine remaining 3 tbsp olive oil, vinegar, mustard, garlic, salt and pepper. Drizzle vinaigrette over vegetables and eggs; toss gently to combine. Adjust seasonings, if necessary.
- Serve warm.

I know this recipe was submitted by Egg Farmers of Ontario but unfortunately I have to say that while I did enjoy this salad and will happily make it again, it is much better without the eggs for a number of reasons. First, there is no way to avoid the little egg yolk "crumbs" that cling unattractively to the potatoes and beans. Leaving out the eggs would give this a much cleaner, brighter look. Second, I believe this salad is best served at room temperature and I'd feel more comfortable doing that without the eggs. Third, while this may just be a personal thing, the texture of the eggs against the potatoes and green beans was off putting for me. Finally, it needed something "fresh" and green I think, which would not only look pretty but would give it a burst of fresh flavor it really does need - I used chopped green onion, but any fresh herb would do - tarragon and dill come to mind, or even parsley. Still, as this recipe's first reviewer, I happily report this is quite a lovely salad with a nicely seasoned, well-balanced vinaigrette.

I agree about not adding the eggs to the salad but I did surround the salad with quartered boiled eggs and it looked lovely, and it is best at room temp so the surrounding eggs can be addd before serving. I also do think it needed some oniony flavor so added spring green onions and that really made the dish pop. Such a pleasant fresh taste of spring in this one, it's definitely a keeper.
Made it twice now. Easy, quick, and the kids loved it (13 years old) and they are getting picky. Good warm or cold. Next time I will try with frozen beans to see if I like it as much.

Decided to try for a big pull last night.
Ended up hitting a few PRs,
Previous best was 425 during the first week of december. I stopped pulling heavy every week and switched to conjugate method of training, focusing mostly on speed pulls and posterior chain movements to help my deadlifts
Well, it worked.
I got 495 for a huge 70LB PR last night.
Turn volume down bc the phone camera doesnt like loud music and it just makes a lot of noise.

Associated Press
PHOENIX (AP) — The jury has rendered its verdict — Jodi Arias is guilty of first-degree murder — but the trial is far from finished.
The same jury now returns to the courtroom Thursday to decide whether she deserves to die for killing her one-time boyfriend on June 4, 2008 at his suburban Phoenix home.
The sheer brutality of the attack and previous testimony from the Maricopa County Medical Examiner that Travis Alexander did not die a quick death will be at the heart of the prosecution's argument that Jodi should receive the ultimate punishment for her crime.
Alexander was stabbed and slashed nearly 30 times, shot in the forehead and had slit his throat from ear to ear, leaving the motivational speaker and businessman nearly decapitated. His decomposing body was found in his shower about five days later by friends.
Arias spoke out about the verdict minutes after her conviction Wednesday, telling a TV station that she would "prefer to die sooner than later."
"Longevity runs in my family, and I don't want to spend the rest of my natural life in one place," a tearful Arias told Fox affiliate KSAZ. "I believe death is the ultimate freedom and I'd rather have my freedom as soon as I can get it."
Arias, 32, fought back tears as a court clerk read aloud the highly anticipated verdict after a four-month trial in which the jury heard 18 days of testimony from the defendant, saw a series of gruesome crime scene photos and heard a raunchy phone sex chat between Arias recorded with Alexander just weeks before he died.
The next portion of the trial is called the "aggravation phase," and it will focus on whether the jury believes the crime was committed in an especially cruel, heinous and depraved manner. If jurors find the aggravators exist, the next step will be the penalty phase during which the panel will recommend either life in prison or death. The process could take several more weeks to wrap up.

Local Columnist
---- — Shallots are a member of the allium family and favored for their sweet subtle onion flavor and crisp texture when used raw. When peeled, shallot bulbs separate into cloves similar to garlic.
Michelle Ferrarese of Birch Point Farm in Traverse City is my go-to farmer who grows amazing heirloom varieties of shallots, onions and garlic.
"I love growing alliums, everything in the onion family. Shallots, however, hold a special place in my heart and garden," Ferrarese said. "They are interchangeable with onions in recipes, yet more interesting in appearance and more nuanced in flavor. I have planted shallots both in the fall as sets and in the spring as transplants. Both methods work well, though I tend to favor transplants, as I seem unable to hold back enough seed shallots to plant each fall as people want to buy them at market."
When at the farmers market, look for shallots that have a dry papery brown skin and that are free from soft spots or green sprouts growing from the top stem. Store shallots in a dry, cool, well ventilated area and use within two months.
Birch Point Farm is a working annual vegetable farm with laying hens and beehives. You can visit Michelle to learn more about alliums and Birch Point Farm at the Sarah Hardy Farmers Market in Traverse City on Saturday and Wednesday mornings. Be sure to ask Michelle for her Sherry Shallot Vinaigrette Dressing recipe.
Potato, Purslaneand Shallot Salad
Farm fresh local fingerling potatoes
Farm fresh local purslane
Farm fresh local lemon basil
Farm fresh local shallot
Farm fresh local steamed or hard boiled eggs
Homemade scallion infused olive oil
Local cherry honey mustard
Local wild leek vinegar
Ingredient Note: This recipe features local produce from Birch Point Farm, Murray's, Spring Hollow Farm and locally produced products from Food for Thought. A wide variety of infused olive oils can be purchased at grocery stores, specialty food stores or if you are an adventurous home cook you can make your own. Regular olive oil may be substituted for the infused olive oil used in this recipe.
Bring a large metal sauce pan with six cups of water to a boil with one teaspoon sea salt. Wash and slice three cups fingerling potatoes. Add fingerling potatoes to boiling water, reduce heat to medium high and cook for ten minutes. Remove pan from burner and allow to cool for five minutes. Run cooked fingerling potatoes under cool water, then strain water from the pan and set aside.
In a small glass jar, mix together three tablespoons scallion infused olive oil, two tablespoons cherry honey mustard, one tablespoon wild leek vinegar and season to taste with salt and pepper.
Remove one cup of purslane leaves from stems, rinse under cool water, pat dry and add to a large glass mixing bowl. Remove two tablespoons lemon basil leaves from stems, chiffonade leaves and add to the mixing bowl. Remove shallot skins, trim ends off of shallots, thinly slice 1/2 cup shallots, separate shallot slices into rings and add to the mixing bowl. Stir in cooled fingerling potatoes to the mixing bowl. Remove egg shells from three steamed eggs, slice steamed eggs in half and remove yolks. Slice the egg whites and add the egg whites to the mixing bowl. Gently stir in dressing before serving salad.

NM Jobless Rate Hits 22-Year High
By KRWG News
New Mexico – New Mexico's unemployment rate hit 8.3 percent in December, up from November's 7.8 percent rate and the 4.7 percent rate of December 2008.
The state's unemployment rate currently is at a 22-year high.
New Mexico lost 4,800 jobs in December. State labor officials say that could indicate reduced holiday season hiring.
The state Department of Workforce Solutions says the job growth for the year, compared to the previous year, registered a minus 3.1 percent, which represents a loss of 25,900 jobs.
New Mexico ranked 28th highest among the states at a time when all 50 states reported job losses.

Dr. Charles Preston wishes he had better understood the Yellowstone region during his first visit there as a teen-ager. Now, as curator of the new Draper Museum in Cody, Wyo., his job is to bolster the knowledge of a new generation of Yellowstone visitors.
The Draper, part of the Buffalo Bill
Historical Center, links geological, natural, and cultural
collections into a broad vision of the Greater Yellowstone
Ecosystem. Though it houses traditional collections and
audio-visual and computer interactive exhibits, the museum also
offers visitors the chance to traipse through a naturalist's tent
in spring or a fishing stream in the summer, read among the aspens,
listen to storytellers, and visit a model science laboratory.
"Museums, unfortunately, are too often seen as
mausoleums," Preston says, "and the Draper wants to debunk this."
The museum's environmental exhibits will tackle
land and resource management issues such as the wolf
re-introduction program at Yellowstone, the de-listing of the
Grizzly Bear as an endangered species, and the co-existence of wild
horses and cattle on rangeland.
The Draper
Museum opens June 4, 2002. For more information, visit www.bbhc.org

Jeff Sutherland started the first Scrum at Easel Corporation in 1993. He worked with Ken Schwaber to emerge Scrum as a formal process at OOPSLA '95. Together, they extended and enhanced Scrum at many software companies and IT organizations and helped write the Agile Manifesto.
Jeff is the CEO of Scrum, Inc. powered by OpenView Venture Partners and Agile coach to the OpenView venture group which runs all its internal operations with Scrum, as well as their portolio of software companies. As Senior Advisor to OpenView he focuses on using Scrum to transform companies as well as empower software developers. In his last position as CTO of PatientKeeper, his Scrum implementation was the key to quadrupled revenue in 2007. OpenView is using Scrum to create similar high performance portfolio companies. Jeff will share the secret sauce that helps development teams radically improve productivity and quality while providing a more rewarding and fun working environment for developers.
Jeff spends one week a month working directly with development teams in OpenView portfolio companies. This gives him continuous hands on experience in implementing Scrum and helping to improve engineering practices. The other three weeks a month he does consulting and training for companies worldwide. As Chairman of the Scrum Training Institute he leads one of the largest global Scrum training organizations.
You can learn from Dr. Sutherland's experience as consultant to the world's leading companies. Their experience can help make your Scrum implementation world class. Jeff's clients include: Google, Yahoo, Microsoft, IBM, Oracle, MySpace, Adobe, GE, Siemens, BellSouth, GSI Commerce, Ulticom, Palm, St. Jude Medical, DigiChart, RosettaStone, Healthwise, Sony/Ericson, Accenture, Trifork, Systematic Software Engineering, Exigen Services, SirsiDynix, Softhouse, Philips, Barclays Global Investors, Constant Contact, Wellogic, Inova Solutions, Medco, Saxo Bank, Xebia, Insight.com, SolutionsIQ, Crisp, Johns Hopkins Applied Physics Laboratory, Motley Fool, Planon, OpenView Venture Partners, Jyske Bank, BEC, Camp Scrum, DotWay AB, Ultimate Software, Danube, Rally Development, Version One, Scrum Training Institute, AtTask, Intronis, Version One, OpenView Labs, Central Desktop, Open-E, Zmags, eEye, Reality Digital, DST, Booz Allen Hamilton, and many other companies.
Jeff is an expert on distributed/outsourced Scrum (see Agile 2008) and on implementing Scrum in a CMMI Level 5 company. As CTO/VP of Engineering of nine software companies, he has created, scaled and distributed Scrum using his companies as laboratories for continuous process improvement. His last company, PatientKeeper is run by a MetaScrum, and is one of the most advanced implementations of Scrum worldwide. Mary Poppendieck, in her latest book on Lean Software Development, comments:
"Five years ago a killer application emerged in the health care industry: Give doctors access to patient information on a PDA. Today there is no question which company won the race to dominate this exploding market; PatientKeeper has overwhelmed its competition with its capability to bring new products and features to market just about every week. The sixty or so technical people produce more software than many organizations several times larger, and they do not show any sign that the size of their code base is slowing them down.
"A key strategy that has kept PatientKeeper at the front of the pack is an emphasis on unprecedented speed in delivering new features. It will not surprise anyone who understands Lean that PatientKeeper has to maintain superb quality in order to support its rapid delivery. CTO Jeff Sutherland explains it this way:
"Rapid cycle time:
- Increases learning tremendously
- Eliminates buggy software because you die if you don't fix this.
- Fixes the install process because you die if you have to install 45 releases this year and install is not easy.
- Improves the upgrade process because there is a constant flow of upgrades that are mandatory. Makes upgrades easy.
- Forces quick standardization of software via new features rather than customization and one off.
- Forces implementation of sustainable pace. You die a death of attrition without it.
- Allows waiting to build new functionality until there are 4-5 customers who pay for it. This is counterintuitive, and caused by the fact everything is ready within 90 days."
"I find that the vast majority of organizations are still trying to do too much stuff, and thus find themselves thrashing. The only organization I know of which has really solved this is PatientKeeper." Mary Poppendieck
In Jeff's courses, participants learn how to stop thrashing and improve performance along with everything necessary for getting started with Scrum. There are very few rules to Scrum so it is important to learn its fundamental principles by experiencing them directly from those who have implemented the best Scrums in the software industry. Participants gain hands-on practice with the release backlog, sprint backlog, the daily Scrum meeting, tracking progress with a burndown chart, and more. Participants experience the Scrum process through a "59-minute Scrum" and the "XP Game" which simulate Scrum projects through non-technical group exercises.
Dr. Sutherland's training is helpful to every employee in a Scrum company. Most of his Openview portfolio companies use Scrum in sales, marketing, finance, or in the senior management team, so you will often see these people in his classes. Every developer can benefit by getting a thorough grounding in Scrum basics. Some of Jeff's companies send every employee, including adminstrative assistants to his courses. These companies always experience radical growth and profitability when everyone in on the same page with the Scrum process. In addition, many Certified ScrumMasters use his courses as a refresher as they often contain advanced material depending on who is in the class. CSMs and CSPs may attend his training at reduced rates.

Born of royal blood in the 7th century, Egwin entered a monastery and was enthusiastically received by royalty, clergy and the people as the bishop of Worcester, England. As a bishop he was known as a protector of orphans and the widowed and a fair judge. Who could argue with that?
His popularity didn't hold up among members of the clergy, however. They saw him as overly strict, while he felt he was simply trying to correct abuses and impose appropriate disciplines. Bitter resentments arose, and Egwin made his way to Rome to present his case to Pope Constantine. The case against Egwin was examined and annulled.
Upon his return to England, he founded Evesham Abbey, which became one of the great Benedictine houses of medieval England. It was dedicated to Mary, who had reportedly made it known to Egwin just where a church should be built in her honor.
He died at the abbey on December 30, in the year 717. Following his burial many miracles were attributed to him: The blind could see, the deaf could hear, the sick were healed.
Learn how the life and teachings of St. Teresa Benedicta of the Cross (Edith Stein) serve as a guide for women's unique vocations today.

Bose says Beats' Studio and Studio Wireless headphones, soon to be owned by Apple, copy five of its patents.
Despite some downsides, including a high price, the Bose QuietComfort 20 offers the best noise-canceling in an in-ear headphone and should tempt frequent travelers looking for a more compact alternative to a full-size NC headphone, such as the Bose QuietComfort 15.
No need to suit up for your X-wing. Star Wars: Attack Squadrons is no longer in development. Star Wars fans and gamers alike are left wondering why.
They're refurbished, but also backed by a one-year warranty. You'd pay at least $100 for them elsewhere.
Monoprice's Noise Canceling Headphones are about 70 percent as good as the Bose QC15s for a little more than a third of the price.
While they may not be quite as comfortable as Bose's ultrapopular QC 15 headphones, the Harman Kardon NCs offer slightly better sound and have a built-in rechargeable battery to power the active noise-cancellation circuitry.

Michael Connelly and Janet Evanovich: Author One-to-One
In this Amazon exclusive, we brought together blockbuster authors Michael Connelly and Janet Evanovich and asked them to interview each other. Find out what two of the top authors of their genres have to say about their characters, writing process, and more. Janet Evanovich is the bestselling author of the Stephanie Plum novels, including Finger Lickin' Fifteen, twelve romance novels, the Alexandra Barnaby novels, and How I Write: Secrets of a Bestselling Author. Read on to see Janet Evanovich's questions for Michael Connelly, or turn the tables to see what Connelly asked Evanovich.
Evanovich: So dude,... Okay, you're back in Florida. Do you ever get to the beach? And when and if you get to the beach...is Harry Bosch with you? And what kind of beachwear are you guys sporting? Flip-flops? Crocs? Speedo? Board shorts?
Connelly: I go to the beach often on weekends. Board shorts are required and I wear flip-flops with the built in bottle opener. Comes in handy. In Florida we rarely have waves, unless there is a hurricane in the Gulf. So I have taken up paddle-boarding, which essentially involves a big surfboard that you stand on and paddle. Still a balancing act, but easier than surfing, and you don't need waves.
Evanovich: What will a bookstore look like in 2020? Will we all be downloading?
Connelly: Good question. Since it is only eleven years from now, I think there will still be a solid population of "old school" readers who need the book in their hands. The question is, will they get it at a bookstore or will we have a Kindle 9.0 device that manufactures a book for you at home, complete with photo of author in a bomber jacket.
Evanovich: If everybody is downloading in 2020 what the heck will we be signing on book tour? Body parts? Kindle cases?
Connelly: I signed two Kindles yesterday. One person asked me to leave room for signatures from you and Dennis Lehane. So next time you're in Seattle she'll be in your line.
Evanovich: Do you eat when you write? Beer nuts? M&Ms? Just coffee? What keeps you from falling out of the chair in a narcoleptic stupor?
Connelly: Have you ever seen what eating Cheetos can do to a keyboard? I have to say I am addicted to Coke. I always have a glass of it nearby. I eat a lot of candy, too. Keeps me going. Smarties are a great writing tool. I often need to raid my daughter's stash and then there is trouble on the home front.
Evanovich: Are you a messy guy or a neat guy? Do you keep clutter on your desk? In your head? Are there soda cans and crumpled fast food wrappers rolling around on the floor of your car?
Connelly: I keep a clean car but a desk that gets progressively messier as I write a book. When I am finished with the book, I clean up the desk—and eat all the stray Smarties found under the paperwork. The clean desk then promotes the start of the next book.
Evanovich: The new book, The Scarecrow sounds terrific, and I know it's followed by Harry Bosch in Nine Dragons in the fall. Does your publisher prefer one series over another? And do you find one series to be more commercially viable than another?
Connelly: They let me do what I want. I like writing about Harry Bosch and he's pretty popular, but usually when I write a standalone it widens the audience a bit.
Evanovich: Want to meet me in a bar in Ft. Myers? Is that halfway?
Connelly: Name the place.

There seems to be an uproar (in the media) about a white comedian who used a string of offensive racial epithets in his comedy routine; but apparently crossed that fine line between funny and offensive. I am not making excuses for him but as a class clown I do know that when you are trying to make people laugh you can try too hard and work too fast and say things that are really offensive; with good in intention but offensive none the less.
Anyway I thought I would use this media moment to share my observations about the notorious "n" word: nigger. I live in New York City; Brooklyn to be specific. I am rather used to hearing words that would grow hair on the tongues of some people. I have to say that over the past twenty years I have heard the word nigger more times than you can imagine. I hear it used in conversation all over this city and it is used without a flinch from anyone except me. "Nigger" is one of those words that actually makes me very uncomfortable. It is part of the vernacular of our city.
The real problem is that the "n" word that I hear so often is used overwhelmingly by black people. It is used often, loudly, in public, when you are a captive audience (like on a bus or a subway car) and without any regard for how makes people within hearing range feel. I can count on one hand the number of white people that I have heard using the term "nigger" over the past few years but I can take you out to any school yard, subway car or any location where black teens gather and we won't have to count to ten before you hear the term "nigger." But you will have to count to ten, as matter of fact way past ten, if you try to keep count of how many times the word is used. I can also take you to my home and flip on some ethnic standup comedy cable special and guess what…â€n†words galore! I can also show you video clips of almost any hip-hop wannabe celebrity like Jennifer Lopez referring to their close friends as their "niggas." I hate it. I am sick of it. And quite frankly as long as I hear this offensive term flung around in public, out loud, very out lout, along with every other offensive word as defined by the Christian purists and the FCC and pointed out by George Carlin in his comedy bit about the seven dirty words you can never say on TV, I don't want to hear any complaints about the words use by non-blacks; especially when the real intention was to make people laugh. I am sorry but speaking as someone who has tried very hard to be a respectful person even while being a "social comedian." I have issues with hypocrisy, even when it comes to asking for respect. Think about it!

We've all been in this situation. We have grown fond of our four-year-old laptop, our slowly dilapidating washer-dryer, or our ancient fridge when, out of the blue, our beloved appliance finally bites the dust. Now, in some cases the machinery … Continue reading

What do you love (geocaching)
All about geocaching (or anything else) on one page. Here you'll find some good resources on how to geocache, among many other things.
What makes a good cache?
Progeocaching interviews Usat31 about what makes a good geocache. There are so many geocaches out there with few redeeming features. They are little more than plastic trash. It's always good to talk to experienced geocachers to find out tips from them about how to geocache.
Here Usat31 shares his thoughts on what makes a good cache and gives some tips on how to geocache.
How to Geocache with great containers
As you become more experienced in learning how to geocache you'll find that one of the rewards is the pleasure of finding the treasure at the end. After you expended considerable energy to find the thing it's something that makes it all worth it.
... unless it's a wretched micro! Man, I hate those things.
Not only are they hard to find but it is a pain to unroll a tiny scroll and find a space on it to jot your signature in microscopic letters. There is no joy at the end, only pain. A lot of people think the same. Check out what people DON'T like about some caches here.
Unless you're going to be very creative with a micro, just don't put them out. Unless you're going to be very creative with a micro, just don't put them out.

Did I just repeat myself?
Go for quality.
If you're a creative type who can design and construct unusual containers, then my choice of container is an ammo can. These things are relatively cheap, rugged and totally weatherproof. They last for years and you rarely have to maintain them. Stuff it full of quality goodies and find a fabulous location in which to hide it.
Sometimes an ammo can is too big and obvious for the location you have chosen. This is where you get to use your imagination. There are so many creative ways to hide things that will avoid using a nano or a micro. In fact you can purchase all sorts of camouflaged containers (e.g on eBay) that you don't need to think up something yourself.
By being unique and creative you will enhance your reputation in the geocaching community and people will look forward to doing your caches. You never know, they may come and ask you for advice on how to geocache.
