Women's tennis wins four titles at Creighton Invitational
By HEATHER KENNEDY
OMAHA – "We Are The Champions" might have been playing in the Northern Colorado Women's Tennis team's van on Sunday after the Bears won three flights of singles and one doubles flight at the Creighton Invitational.
And the four singles players who didn't bring home the championship weren't too shabby as all placed in the top six.
"Overall we had a very successful tournament," Head Coach Brenda Vlasak said. "We went 24 and 12 in singles and doubles combined and each player was successful in some way. They were able to transfer what we've been working on in practice to their matches this weekend."
Junior Stephanie Catlin won the B flight, while freshman Hilary Walters-West won the C flight and fellow freshman Claire Uhle won the D flight and she and senior Jennifer Buchanan teamed up to win the B doubles flight.
Catlin started things off with a 6-1, 6-4 victory over Creighton's Sam Anderson, then continued her run with a 6-1, 6-2 dominating win against South Dakota's Milica Pavlovic. She won the title with a straight-set 6-4, 6-3 win against Nebraska-Omaha's Molly Matricardi.
Catlin also paired with junior Elizabeth Tapia to finish second in the A Flight of doubles. The duo won 8-2 against Anderson and Analese Snyder from Creighton and 8-3 against Alex Tran and Rachel Pierson from Nebraska-Omaha before losing 9-8 in the championship match against Jennie Hartjes and Anna Kirshenbaum from Creighton.
Walters-West and sophomore Chrissie Hoolahan were also in the top flight of doubles and took third place. They did not allow a single point in their opening bout, winning 8-0 over Yamini Reddy and Pavlovic from USD but lost 8-5 to the eventual champions, Hartjes and Kirshenbaum. The Bears bounced back for an 8-5 victory in the third-place match against Tran and Pierson.
Walters-West continued her stellar start to her collegiate career with a 3-0 record in the C Flight of singles. She is now 11-1 through two tournaments in singles and doubles. At Creighton, she allowed her opponents to win just two games in her opening match, winning 6-1, 6-1 over Megan Sween from North Dakota. In the semfinals, she posted a straight-sets 6-3, 6-4 win against Liz Vermillion from Creighton and won the championship 6-2, 7-5 over South Dakota State's Ffion Davis.
Hoolahan was in the same flight on the bottom half of the draw. She also dropped just two games in the first round, winning 6-2, 6-0 against Nebraska-Omaha's Lindsay Wiedeman, before losing a three-set match to Davis, 4-6, 6-1, 6-1. Hoolahan bounced back in the third-place match to win a hard-fought 6-2, 2-6, 10-8 match against Vermillion.
This weekend it was Uhle's turn to post a perfect 6-0 record at the tournament, as she won the D Flight in singles and partnered with Buchanan to win the B flight of doubles.
In singles, Uhle defeated Tacy Haws-Lay from South Dakota State 6-3, 6-2 and Reddy from South Dakota 7-5, 7-5 to reach the championship. Uhle lost the opening set 6-1 before turning the tables and winning the next two in identical fashion, 6-1, 6-1 for the title over Veronika Makashov from USD.
In doubles, she and Buchanan won 8-4 over Makashov and Maria Tortosa Bernabeu, then fought to a tie-break 9-8 (7-4) win in the semifinals against Nebraska-Omaha's Matricardi and Heather Hottman. The duo had an easier time in the finals, winning 8-3 over the Jackrabbits' Jenny Blackburne and Florencia Magni.
Sophomore Taylor Schumacher brought home a second-place title in the E Flight of singles. She played probably her toughest match in the first round, coming back after losing the first set 6-4 to win the next two 6-3, 6-2 over Creighton's Anna Kirshenbaum. Schumacher dominiated in the next round, winning identical 6-1 sets against Tortosa from South Dakota and then lost a three-set heartbreaker 2-6, 6-1, 6-1 to Creighton's Taylor Koehrsen.
In doubles, she and freshman Maddison Henning went 1-2 in a round-robin flight C. The two lost 8-2 to Haws-Lay and Davis from South Dakota State and 9-7 to Maddy Warner (USD) and Tiffany Filipovich (SDSU) before winning their final bout 8-5 against Pierson and Adrienne Benson from Nebraska-Omaha.
In the A flight of singles, Tapia placed third and Buchanan was sixth.
Tapia won 6-3, 6-3 in her first round against Hafsa Laraibi from South Dakota before losing a three-set battle against North Dakota's Steph Petsis, 4-6, 6-3, 6-3. In the third-place match she beat the Jackrabbits Blackburne in straight sets, 6-4, 6-4.
Coming from the top portion of the bracket, Buchanan lost her opening round to eventual champion Jennie Hartjes from Creighton 6-0, 6-2. She then surrendered just two games in winning 6-2, 6-0 over Tran from Nebraska-Omaha before losing 7-6, 6-4 to Creighton's Snyder in the fifth-place match.
"Attitude and effort are everything to us," Vlasak said. "They are something we stress day-in and day-out. They are something we have complete control over and I feel we did a good job of executing that. We are proud of the way our girls competed this weekend!"

Bernanke is smarter than your average bear
The Fed chief may not have everything figured out, but after 2 years of great stewardship, he deserves the benefit of the doubt.
You have to like a market that makes sense, that does what it is supposed to when big macro events occur that are good for earnings.
Which is why I liked last week. We have a dollar that is going down so fast that the big international companies will be able to beat numbers year over year so strongly that it makes you want to buy everything from United Technologies (UTX) and Ingersoll Rand (IR) to Johnson & Johnson (JNJ) and IBM (IBM).
Last year at this time the euro was falling apart, taking with it the chances for companies like Eaton (ETN) and Honeywell (HON) -- which had expanded aggressively overseas, especially in Europe -- to beat the numbers. Now only those companies with no international winds at their back -- read the banks and the retailers -- are going to be laggards.
Health care has enough overseas exposure, and it had been behind the market for so long that people will lap it up as the specter of government intervention has faded into the rearview. And the weakness of the president means that no one in Congress is going to hector companies like UnitedHealth (UNH) and get away with it.
I know there are many people who like to fret about what a weak dollar means. I will, too, if Federal Reserve Chairman Ben Bernanke pulls the rug out from his bond buying and bonds plummet. Those two things can happen. Many are betting right now that they will happen. But those who have taken that bet are running up against the natural forces of a weak dollar.
And they are losing.
This week, of course, could be different because of the possible termination of QE2. But my feeling has been that the Fed chief is smarter than the average bear. He sees all of this and -- not that he has it all figured out -- I think after two years of great stewardship the man deserves the benefit of the doubt.

It takes more to be a bull the being full of bull. As we leave QE2 heading into the great bear market of 2011, I think this bear can say it best.

You can stop paying for cable TV now
It's gotten so easy to find TV shows and sports on streaming video services that you likely don't need a cable or satellite subscription to watch your favorite programs.
This post comes from Dan Schointuch at partner site Money Talks News.
A few years ago I moved into a new apartment and did something revolutionary: I didn't set up cable or satellite TV. I was frustrated by the lack of choice (only one cable provider), lengthy contracts and inexplicably high prices.
As someone who watches a lot of television, this seemed like a truly difficult problem, but I resolved to find a way to see my favorite shows without paying a cable or satellite bill. Fortunately, it was much easier than I thought.
Here's how to cut the cable, step by step.
You can watch HDTV with an antenna
The picture from on-air TV stations is perfectly clear, thanks to the switch to digital TV completed in 2009. You'll either see a crisp, beautiful image or no image at all (static is a thing of the past). And the best part? All your favorite programming will still be in HD.
HDTV is more expensive for local stations to produce, so it's common to see a station broadcast in regular standard definition during the day, but switch their signal to high definition for prime time. So while the local news may not be in HD, shows like "Big Brother," "America's Got Talent" and "The Big Bang Theory" will be.
Of course, you will need an antenna to make this work, and your HDTV will also have to have an HDTV tuner built in. This is sometimes referred to as "integrated HDTV." If it doesn't, you'll need to buy a separate HDTV tuner that connects your existing HDTV to an antenna. To check, consult your HDTV's manual, do a search online, or contact the manufacturer.
AntennaWeb, a site provided by the Consumer Electronics Association and the National Association of Broadcasters, will show you exactly where to point your antenna for the best reception at your address. It will also let you see which stations are broadcasting over the air in your area. There may be more than you think.
What about shows that aren't on broadcast channels?
Two of my favorite shows, "The Daily Show" and "The Colbert Report," air on Comedy Central, which isn't a channel you can receive with an antenna. Fortunately, Internet to the rescue! If you have a computer and Internet access -- there's no way I'd be able to live without paying for Internet -- both shows can be watched in their entirety on their respective websites for free.
Like most online shows, you'll have to sit through a few commercials, but less than you would see watching the same show on television and without having to pay for the privilege.
Popular website Hulu has a huge variety of TV shows available to watch online, though you have to pay for Hulu Plus at $8 a month for access to the full catalog. Amazon Instant Video is another option for TV shows, with many of its programs, including original programming, available without additional charge if you're an Amazon Prime member. Memberships costs $99 a year.
Netflix is a great way to watch past seasons of favorite shows, which can be streamed instantly to many devices, such as your computer, iPhone, Android, Xbox, PlayStation and Wii. You can watch as much as you want for $8 a month (a dollar more for new members). Compared with the cost of a cable or satellite subscription with premium movie channels, that's a pittance.
Plus, Netflix has a good selection of movies. Its original programming only sweetens the deal, with award winners like "House of Cards" and "Orange is the New Black" available only through its service.
Where do you watch live sports online?
If you're getting your Internet from one of these providers, you already have free access to ESPN3, a "broadband network for live sports programming." Not every game on paid TV is available online, but you can watch thousands of games and events live with chat, stats, scoreboards and picture-in-picture.
MLB.tv has an $80-a-year membership that will let you stream many regular-season baseball games right to your computer/Xbox/PS4/etc., live or on demand, and in HD when available. Paired with an antenna to watch local broadcasts, you might be able to watch every game you're interested in for a little more than $6 a month.
NBA League Pass lets basketball fans stream regular-season, out-of-market games, similar to MLB.tv. Unlike regular cable, a membership lets you watch up to three games simultaneously in HD with live stats and "replays of select games." Last year, the price was about $200, and there are limitations to the service. But die-hard fans may find it a necessary part of their cable-cutting adventure.
If you're willing to wait until just after a game has aired to watch it, football fans can get "full replays of every regular-season NFL game on demand, online and in high definition" with NFL Game Rewind. A regular season of viewing costs only $40, but for $70 it will include the playoffs and the Super Bowl. A $30 option exists for those who care only about their favorite team's regular-season games.
Videos are streamed without commercials or halftime shows, saving valuable hours of your life and dramatically improving the experience, in my opinion.
Hockey fans should check out NHL Gamecenter Live for streaming video of their favorite out-of-market games (price varies depending on where you live), soccer fans can get a season subscription to MLS Live for $65 a year, and NASCAR fans have RaceView Premium and RaceBuddy as options. Even fans of bowling can watch live events through the USBC's Bowl TV.
You might be surprised at just how easy it's gotten to watch your favorite sports over the Internet. For everything else, there are free local broadcasts or your neighborhood sports bar.
But what about "premium" shows, like the ones on HBO, Cinemax and Starz?
Some shows can be purchased individually from sites like Amazon or Apple's iTunes Store a day or two after they air. If you do the math, you'll find that purchasing your favorite show is likely to be cheaper than paying for the channel it airs on month after month.
For everything else, you'll have to be a little patient and wait for the inevitable DVD release of last season. The typical DVD set for one season of a television series costs between $25 and $35, so you could buy several sets each month and still save over the cost of cable or satellite.
Or you can probably rent the DVDs from Netflix, for a separate $8-a-month subscription.
Meanwhile, HBO has a deal with Amazon to stream past seasons of most HBO shows on Amazon Prime. You'll also find past seasons of some of your favorite shows from Showtime and other premium channels via the streaming services.
How does all this Internet video get on my TV?
While streaming video to your computer sounds great, most people want to watch television on their television. Fortunately, there are tons of options to get your favorite shows on your big screen.
First, check your computer for an output designed to work with either an external monitor or TV. If you have one, you may be able to buy a cable and adapter that will plug your computer directly into your television.
Doing so is a bit like putting together a puzzle; you want to find pieces that connect to each other. This can be a little tricky, especially with all the different possible connections on the market. So if you're not tech-savvy, you may want to get a little help from someone who is or check out this video from Howcast called "How to connect your laptop to your television."
You might also want to look at media-streaming boxes. Like the cable box you'll be ditching, these connect to your TV and allow you to watch programming you wouldn't otherwise be able to see. The big difference? You can watch free and paid Internet content.
Depending on the box, you'll be able to stream video from Netflix, Amazon, MLB.tv, Hulu and YouTube, audio from Internet radio stations, Pandora, and Last.fm, and watch movies or look at photos that have been stored on your home PC. Think of media streaming boxes as mini-computers for your TV.
You can buy a Roku streaming media player for as little as $40 on Amazon. It'll stream hundreds of "channels" from the Web right to your TV for less than the price of one month of cable or satellite. Plus, it's an open platform so developers are adding new channels all the time.
A Google Chromecast is only $35 brand-new on Amazon and offers up video and music from almost every streaming service around, but to use it effectively you'll need to own a smartphone or tablet (either Android or iOS) to act as a remote control. Otherwise, you'll have to use your PC to control it, and that can be cumbersome unless you're the kind of person who always has a laptop nearby.
Apple TV is like an iPod for your TV. It'll let you stream videos and audio from your iTunes collection, but only if they're in the right format. There are also apps to stream video from Hulu and Netflix among others, but no option for Amazon Instant Video. Of course, anything you purchase from iTunes will play perfectly, so this may be a great option for some. At $99, it's a slightly more expensive option for streaming, but if you're already committed to the Apple ecosystem and own several of its devices, it's something you'll want to consider.
Amazon Fire TV is the newest streaming box to hit the market and is priced identically to Apple TV at $99. But it has a slightly larger selection of streaming video services (since it includes Amazon Instant Video), and features some nifty technology, like voice control to simply tell it what you want to watch and pre-buffering so videos start instantly.
But what really sets the Fire TV apart is its graphics performance and, if you're willing to drop an additional $40 on a gaming controller, it can double as a budget alternative to a system like the Xbox One or PlayStation 4.
How much does all of this cost?
While the average cable bill is $90 a month or $1,080 a year, I was paying closer to $150 a month or $1,800 a year to see everything I wanted. Now I pay less than $10 a month for my Netflix subscription and watch everything else for free online or over-the-air broadcast. I don't need a TiVo (since you can just hit pause on a website), and I use a Roku as my media center. My $1,800-a-year expense is now about $100, and I can watch just about everything I want, whenever I want.
If I wanted to pay for a streaming sports package, that would increase my costs, but I'd still be paying far less than the total cost of the same broadcasts with traditional cable.

APPLETON, WI (WTAQ) - A 41-year-old Hortonville man plead no contest to charges of repeatedly sexually assaulting a girl since she was six or seven years old.
In Outagamie County Court Wednesday, the attorney for Price Turner the 3rd tried to get a secretly recorded conservation thrown out.
The attorney argued that the victim, who is 15-year-old, could not consent to the recording which is required under Wisconsin law. At least one of the parties must consent to being recorded.
The judge disagreed.
Turner's lawyer says the no contest plea allows them to challenge the legality of the recording during appeal.

ATHENS — Authorities say a U.S. Army veteran who uses a wheelchair wielded a pistol to run off a man who broke into his home near Athens.
Mark Sikes, 53, was in bed at his home in western Clarke County around 1 p.m. Wednesday, when someone kicked in his front door.
Sikes said he reached into his night stand and grabbed his pistol. He said he then pointed the gun at the intruder and and told him he "better get the hell out."
Sikes said the young man "flew like a bat" and is lucky that he wasn't killed by the veteran.
Athens-Clarke County police and Oconee County sheriff's deputies looked for the suspect throughout the day Wednesday. Authorities continued to search on Thursday.

I am new to teaching aerial silks and just looking for tips and advice as a woman teaching male students. There are some anatomical differences for my male students that make certain moves like the thigh lock harvest painful. I've advised my male students to invest in a jock strap or dance belt but not actually sure this will help. Will this help or is it more about positioning and technique? Any advice on how I can help these students would be much appreciated as there are certain moves they are giving up on. Thanks"
Thanks for the inquiry! You are right about the anatomical difference occasionally getting in the way…literally! Thankfully, Clayton Woodson is an awesome team-member on our advisory board and an expert on this subject. He has been advising me on which moves are "male-friendly" and which ones aren't as I write my teacher training program. As for the dance belt topic, ultimately, it's going to be different for every male. Each will have to form their own opinions, but the important part is disseminating the information and at least letting them know that this option exists! It will help in some moves, and others are just doomed. I've asked Clayton to chime in more specifics on the resource board. See there for more!
For the rest of you, here is an informative article written by advisory board member Clayton Woodson on the subject of dance belts. (more…)

Will you make a pledge to give away all the income you make over the national median in your country/state/or province?
I am not saying this is the right thing to do, so please no hate mail. But if anyone would like to make a pledge to give away all their salary above the national median in their country/state/ or province, feel free to do so here. You can give away the money to a worthy charity or a neighbor, it does not matter. This was inspired by the President of Uruguay, known jokingly as the poorest president in the world (http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-latin-america-20334136). He does this. I was hoping atleast ten people could pledge to do this, and we could stay in touch over the next couple years, sharing how it has changed our life. In years we make less than the national median, we can pledge to give 10 percent. Thanks for reading.

Ivanovic Upsets Peng, Joins Top 3 In SFs
Published August 05, 2011 12:00
CARLSBAD, CA, USA - Ana Ivanovic spoiled an all-Top 4 semifinal line-up at the Mercury Insurance Open on Friday night, upsetting No.4 seed Peng Shuai in straight sets after the Top 3 seeds all won through earlier.
Watch live tennis from Carlsbad on WTA Live powered by TennisTV!
Ivanovic, the No.5 seed, was slow out of the blocks and found herself down 4-1 in the opening set, but won 11 of the next 13 games to score a 64 62 win over the Chinese star, finishing strong - she won the last 14 points of the match.
"At the beginning I was pushing a little bit, trying not to make a mistake, trying to place the ball rather than just committing and hitting it," Ivanovic said. "Then I started swinging a lot more and it made a difference. I still made some mistakes I can improve, but overall I was really, really happy from 4-1 on."
Next up for Ivanovic will be No.1 seed Vera Zvonareva, who got the better of No.12 seed Sabine Lisicki, 63 36 64. After the two split sets they embarked on a marathon one-hour-plus third set, with Zvonareva just able to make the cut - although she needed five match points to close out the big-serving German.
"I was trying to be in the moment, trying to keep my focus and trying to fight for every single point," Zvonareva said of the third set. "Even though I made a couple mistakes, I was trying to just focus on what I had to do on the next point. When you play tough opponents like Sabine, every point is important."
Zvonareva is now 8-0 in the summer hardcourt season, going 5-0 to win in Baku and 3-0 so far this week. "I'm just enjoying the moment and just want to do well in every match," the Russian commented. "I want to get 100% in every match."
Zvonareva and Ivanovic are tied in their head-to-head series, 4-4.
"We have had a lot of tough matches in the past. I know if I play well, I can challenge her," Ivanovic said. "My goal will be to play free and enjoy it again like I did today. If I play well and she still wins, congratulations to her. I just want to try to give my best tomorrow and apply the things I've been working on."
No.2 seed Andrea Petkovic and No.3 seed Agnieszka Radwanska won their quarterfinal matches earlier in the day. Radwanska was the first to win, rallying from a first set blowout to beat No.8 seed Daniela Hantuchova, 06 64 64.
"Daniela started very, very well. She was so aggressive," said Radwanska, who lost the first set in 24 minutes. "I was able to try something different later on in the second and third sets. After the first set I had nothing to lose and started to play more aggressively and win some games. I was more relaxed after that."
Petkovic followed with a 66-minute, 62 61 win over American Sloane Stephens, an 18-year-old wildcard who was playing her first WTA quaterfinal.
"I'm not upset. I had a pretty good week. My first quarterfinal of a WTA. I'm not disappointed at all," Stephens said. "But if I lost the second set 6-0, I probably would have died. Before I knew it, it was 5-0 in the second set. I was like, 'Oh my God, I have to get a game.' It was awful. But I got a game, so it was fine."
Radwanska leads Petkovic in their head-to-head series, 2-0.
"It's going to be a tough one. I don't have what you would call a good record," Petkovic said. "She just plays so sneaky. I love watching her because she knows everything to do with the ball. She has such great touch. She plays the drop shot, she comes to the net... it's a pleasure watching her, not so much a pleasure playing her. But I think since the times I lost to her, I'm a much more stable player now. I'm looking forward to playing her again."

Day Ski Touring
The perfect combination of lift accessed off-piste skiing and day ski touring.
Our alpine day-long ski touring trips are exciting, guided ski touring holidays in the Alps that combine lift accessed off-piste skiing and day ski touring with the goal of providing the ultimate week of freeride adventure.
We've based these guided ski tour holidays in a combination of world renowned resorts and lesser known areas all of which offer fantastic off-piste skiing and backcountry adventure.
On these trips you'll usually stay in the same chalet or hotel for 6 nights out of 7 and spend one night mid-week in a high altitude mountain hut. All our day ski touring trips have 5 guided days and 1 non-guided free ski day, usually at the end of the week.
These holidays are ideal for experienced off-piste skiers and ski tourers who are looking for a week of challenging off-piste and backcountry skiing with an average of about 2 hours of skinning each day.
Tarentaise Day Ski Tours (Intermediate)
This trip features multiple day-long ski tours and is based in Sainte Foy, the "jewel in the crown" of the Tarentaise in the French Alps. Mixing guided day-long ski touring with lift-accessed off-piste allows us to show you the best the Tarentaise has to offer. For years it has remained relatively unknown ski touring area in the Alps -... view
Zermatt Day Ski Tours (Intermediate)
The Zermatt trip features multiple day-long ski tours in Switzerland's best known ski resort - it is without doubt one of the best off-piste ski resorts in the Alps and features extensive off-piste terrain. Large and seldom skied fields of untouched snow await those 'in the know'. Plus, thanks to Zermatt's extremely high altitude and abundance... view
Zinal Day Ski Tours (Intermediate)
This exciting and challenging ski touring safari in the Swiss Alps gives adventurous skiers the chance to ski some of the most impressive terrain in the Swiss Valais region. We use a combination of lift access and ski touring with the goal of providing the ultimate week of freeride adventure. The skiing here is as exciting and varied as you'll... view
Saas Fee Day Ski Tours (Intermediate)
Saas-Fee and the Mischabel peaks offer outstanding potential for the experienced ski tourer. The area boasts the highest concentration of 4,000m peaks in the Alps and excellent resort facilities. Descents are long and varied, always beginning at significant altitudes and descending through high glaciated terrain. Many of the ski tours provide... view
Ski touring in Fjordland, Norway (Intermediate)
Norway is synonymous with crowd-free adventurous ski touring and the guarantee of a true wilderness adventure. A unique experience that cannot be repeated anywhere else in Europe.
Chamonix Day Ski Tours (Intermediate)
NEW for 2015!
Iceland Day Touring (Intermediate)
NEW for 2015!
Skill Level Overview
These trips and tours are appropriate for people looking for their first touring experience. The pace is relaxed and typically we skin for 2-4hrs per day so ascents are about 500 - 800m vertical. You need to be a reasonable off-piste skier (at our Off-Piste Performance Intermediate level), able to link controlled parallel turns in powder snow and ski through trees in control. You need to be prepared to hike short sections on foot carrying your skis on your rucksack (though you won't need any specific mountaineering knowledge, so crampons and an ice axe are usually not required).
These tours will involve around 3-5hrs of skinning per day, achieving around 800 – 1000m of vertical ascent. We would expect you to be able skin to a pace of 300m of vertical ascent per hour. You need to be able to execute good uphill kick turns on steeper slopes and have some familiarity with use of crampons and ice axe. You need to be a reasonably strong off-piste skier able to deal with a variety of snow conditions (powder, crust, slush) and able to ski on steeper and narrower slopes with the requisite ability and confidence for exposed sections.
Advanced-level tours are for experienced ski tourers who've previously completed another hut-to-hut trip or multiple day tours. You will be expected to ascend on skis at around 400m/hr and be able to skin for at least 5hrs with up to 1000m to 1300m of ascent per day. A large proportion of the terrain may be steep and exposed; thus confidence in your uphill kick turns on 35+ degree slopes is a must, as is your ability to ski slopes of 40 degrees. You will be a strong, fluid off-piste skier able to handle all conditions. You will be confident of using crampons and an ice axe and happy climbing on snow and rock on short climbs to summits, and in gullies to gain a col.
Expert level ski tours are pure ski mountaineering journeys in the high mountains. You must be confident skiing steep exposed terrain and ski touring for at least 5 hours per day with long ascents. You will be expected to climb on your feet carrying your skis on your pack to summit mountains above 4000m in altitude. You must be completely confident with your crampon placement and use of an ice axe and you will have some basic rope skills and be happy walking along exposed ridges on mixed terrain to gain the summits of peaks.
Stamina Level Overview
Level 3
You can ski all day comfortably off-piste and ski tour at an ascent rate of 300m per hour for 3 to 5 hours per day (a total of around 800m – 1000m vertical ascent per day). Your stamina and endurance fitness is good and you work hard to maintain a good level of fitness. You will be exercising 3-4 times a week and also at the weekend; thus running a half marathon, doing a 50 mile cycle ride, 3-4 hours on a mountain bike or a full day's hill walk would all prove possible with this stamina level.
Level 4
You're able to happily ski all day off-piste on challenging terrain and snow, and you can ski tour at a rate of ascent of 400m/hour - thus around 1000 – 1300m vertical (5 hours approximately) each day for consecutive days. You're doing lots of sport each week (4-5 sessions) and you train regularly to achieve a high level of fitness, stamina and endurance. Completing an 80-100 mile cycle ride, a full day's mountain biking or running a half or full marathon is not out of your reach with this stamina level.

Volunteer communications group saves city money
The business of law enforcement in Blaine often requires more than a dozen local, state and federal agencies to be able to communicate with each other. But only recently has that become possible, thanks to the completion of the Auxiliary Communications Service (ACS).
The ACS is a team of volunteers who are experts in communications and related technologies – electronics, radios, telephones and internet services – who work hand in hand with the Blaine Police Department.
It took two years of planning, but in April the ACS members finished their communications van and have since been using it to fix the interoperability between agencies in the area, giving them a way to communicate with each other.
The van was built out of an old North Whatcom Fire and Rescue ambulance, which the ACS bought from them for a dollar. It fits four people, five if they grab a folding chair, and has three communication stations.
One station has all the public safety radios – city police, fire, sheriff's office, Whatcom Transit Authority (WTA), a radio used to talk to emergency management groups and a radio to communicate with some Canadian agencies.
The second station is the amateur radio station, which has six different amateur radios, radios that are not to be used for money-making purposes, that can be patched into any radio frequency using a bridge.
"If another team comes in from across the state that needs to talk to the sheriff's department they can't because they operate on different frequencies, but we can use the bridge to connect those two agencies together so they can talk to one another on their own equipment," Blaine Police Sgt. and ACS member Ryan King said.
The third station has a high frequency radio that is attached to a modem, which allows an outlook message to be sent from a computer through the high frequency radio to another computer or cell phone. This station also has the marine and aviation radios.
"The van turned out better than we thought it would," Haslip said. "When we first started talking, it was primarily going to be a way to have cops from various agencies talk to each other, but now we have the ability for law enforcement, fire, emergency medical, aviation, marine and amateur radio to communicate to one another all in one self contained van."
The electronics in the van run off a generator, but the van can be hooked into the grid if needed. Besides just radios and computers the inside is also fully equipped with a microwave, coffee pot and food and water, Haslip said.
Blaine's ACS currently has 14 volunteer members as well as two full-time paid police officers, Haslip and King, who work with them on projects; and all members are required to be a certified amateur radio operator (ARO).
"Most inventions in radios were made by people in their homes, closets or backyards messing around with things and seeing what they would do," Haslip said. "Over time they were recognized as ARO because they were not broadcasting for a fee, there was no advertising, they were not getting paid; it was strictly a hobby – now amateur radios have been designated part of the radio spectrum in every country."
Amateur radios were included in the van because there are more mountain-top repeater sites for them compared to repeater sites for law enforcement radios, and because AROs know more about radios, can keep their radios running and have more equipment than law enforcement agencies, Haslip said.
"If we have the 'big one,' a tsunami or something, it is realistic that one of the only parts of the radio spectrum that will work and the only access we will have will be through amateur radio," he said. "So we are lucky to have them."
The idea for the van came from another organization in the county called radio amateur communication emergency service (RACES), which ACS manager Jim Elston was part of for a few years. The team works with the department of emergency management for the county and assists search and rescue teams.
Elston helped RACES build their first communications van, so he was able to take the ideas from RACES and apply them to the construction of the ACS van, Haslip said.
Over the last four months that the van has been operational it has been deployed multiple times.
In May for example, it provided communications for Ski to Sea, where it was deployed to the relay point for runners and bicyclists on Shuksan, and at the large road race from Birch Bay to Semiahmoo, where ACS members were stationed around the course and the van was set up at the fire station there.
"By placing ACS members out around the course it allowed the police department to not have to provide the service, so the police could concentrate on their normal work," Haslip said.
ACS is funded through small anti-terrorism and disaster prevention grants from the federal government.
So far, the ACS has spent about $50,000 on the project, but that has only been on equipment; volunteers have done all the physical labor for the project, including stripping the old ambulance, Haslip said.
"Jim Elston alone has put in more than 2,000 hours building the van and recruiting and training members," he said.
Some of the funding has also been used for training purposes.
Emergency management groups realized that in preparation for the 2010 Olympics they needed to organize specific training for people that are going to have to coordinate communication from a lot of different agencies, so they designed a course in communication, for which the first session was held in Seattle.
Haslip said two Blaine ACS members attended the training and he hopes to get two more through before the Olympics.
The next step for the ACS is to be added to Blaine's comprehensive emergency management plan, so that in the event of an emergency they will know exactly what to do and who to work with. Haslip said that he has it on his work plan, and that the ACS will hopefully be part of the plan by 2009.
The ACS is also working to equip their radio repeater site with better communications, which will improve their ability to work with Canada, and they are helping the police department put together an area specifically set up for communications, a radio room, which the police department has never had.
"The first conversation Jim Elston and I had a couple years ago was just 'Man, I can't believe how much of a mess that just was. Washington State Patrol couldn't talk to the sheriff's office, couldn't talk to customs, couldn't talk to Blaine police,'" Haslip said. "But now we have the ACS van. I think we have been pretty successful in our outcome."
ACS can be reached by calling 360/332-8311 or by visiting their website at www.ci.blaine.wa.us.

With a degree in engineering from Purdue, Ryan Newman could have chosen any number of professions, most of which would not have included going airborne in a car at 190 miles per hour. Instead, he gave up his graphing calculator and pocket protector for a firesuit and helmet and went straight from readin', writin, and 'rithmatic to racin', rubbin' and roll-overs.
Newman is the only active driver with a college degree. Surely there are plenty of degrees floating around amongst the engine builders and crew chiefs, but most drivers these days jump straight from the womb to a racecar, making college as unnecsessary as a pack of Trojans at Lilith Fair. Our question is: since Newman is probably the smartest driver in the field, does he use this to his advantage? Does he challenge Jeff Gordon to Proust trivia or discuss physics with Kyle Busch in the garage? Or does he use his superior intelligence to toy with other drivers on the track?
Newman: Hey Tony, run down to Greg Biffle's pit and tell them to radio Greg that the structural integrity of his harmonic balancer has been compromised.
Tony: Sure thing, Ryan. What does that mean, anyway?
Newman: Beats the hell out of me, just tell him I noticed it about three laps ago. It'll keep him guessing until I can pass him.
Although sometimes known as "Rocket Man", we prefer to call him "The Professor." This would make teammate/owner Tony Stewart "The Skipper", wouldn't it? All Left Turns believes that The Skipper hired The Professor for a vey specific purpose — you can read about it here.
Newman earned his "Rocket Man" nickname because of his amazing ability to win poles. He has won 44 poles, which puts him 15th all-time. He currently has 13 career victories, all of which he acquired while driving for Penske Racing. Newman had his best year in 2003 (only his second full season in the Sprint Cup series) with eight wins and 11 poles. This sophomore success story came at a cost, as he also racked up seven DNFs, which put him at 6th place for the season.
He was never to repeat the glory of the 2003 season with Penske Racing as he scored only two victories in 2004 and one in 2005. He went winless in 2006 and 2007, but came roaring back and won the 2008 Daytona 500. It was his last victory with Penske. This is not nessecarily a reflection on Newman's ability as the overall performance of Penske cars has been lukewarm for several years.
The year 2009 offers new promise for Newman with the newly-formed and suddenly formidable Stewart-Hass Team.
Newman and his wife Chrissie have five rescued dogs: Digger, Mopar, Harley, Socks and Fred. (Good Gawd — please tell us he didn't name his dog Digger. Anything but Digger.) They also own and operate The Ryan Newman Foundation. We encourage you to check it out – these people do good work. Newman also helped fund the construction of the Catawba County, North Carolina Humane Society.
We also like that fact that Newman is a car guy. He has 14 or so cars in his collection, including a 1928 Ford Roadster, 1936 Ford 3 window Coupe, 1939 Hudson, 1957 Dodge Super D-500 and the 1974 Triumph TR-6 that was his first car. Chrissie gave him a 1948 Buick Roadmaster convertible (his dream car) for his birthday one year. What a gal! By the way, if you look at the picture below, you'll see that his shirt (which came with the car) says "I love my wife."
Newman, you're a good man and we salute you – a man who loves cars and dogs is okay with us…
… even if one of them is named Digger.

Movie Review: 'Arbitrage'
Published on Wednesday, June 19, 2013 - 9:05am
Richard Gere stars in Arbitrage as Robert Miller, a New York hedgefund magnate who appears to have it all: money, power, a loving wife, and a devoted daughter working by his side.
Robert Miller is running on borrowed time, trying to unload his crippled trading company before his frauds are revealed. If he can finalize the bank purchase of his trading empire before any evidence of his shady business dealings is unearthed, there's a chance he could emerge relatively unscathed.
A must see movie.

Noel Gallagher recently had an ugly fight with his brother Liam Gallagher, bad enough for him to decide to leave the band Oasis. Read what Noel had to say below.
Noel took to his website on Friday to discuss his decision to leave the band. Some of Noel's reasons for leaving include "violent and verbal intimidation" and a "lack of support".
"The details are not important and of too great a number to list," he said in the latest statement, posted on Saturday. "I feel you have the right to know that the level of verbal and violent intimidation towards me, my family, friends and comrades has become intolerable. And the lack of support and understanding from my management and bandmates has left me with no other option than to get me cape and seek pastures new.
He thanked his fans for Oasis' "amazing" 18-year run, adding that his time in the band was a "dream come true." He said, "I take with me glorious memories."
Noel apologized to fans for missing shows at England's V Festival and in Paris, where Noel and brother Liam Gallagher reportedly fought backstage. Noel's original statement on Friday said he "simply could not go on working with Liam a day longer."
"Apologies are probably not enough, I know, but I'm afraid it's all I've got," he wrote on Saturday. "Again, I can only apologize — although I don't know why. It was nothing to do with me. I was match fit and ready to be brilliant. Alas, other people in the group weren't up to it. Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a family and a football team to indulge."
The future of the band Oasis is now unknown.
"I expect in the next couple of days, a decision will be made as to how to continue or if they continue," the group's spokesperson said in a statement to the BBC.
Alan McGee, who signed Oasis to Creation Records, said that the band will probably get back together, even though he sees this split as "the worst fallout that they've ever had, and they've had some pretty bad ones. … I think you'll have a reunion tour in about five years' time," he said. "They love each other. When people love each other, they'll always make peace. You can't control Oasis — they do what they want to do. That's the beauty and the skill of the band."
Perez Hilton also reported that Liam made a remark about Noel's daughter, Anais, which was the final straw for Noel.
Liam allegedly "jokingly suggested" that Noel was not the real father of his daughter, 9.
"It was a dumb thing to say," an insider close to the brothers says. "They had a big fight when he made the gag. Noel went for him. He was in a blind fury. And he still hasn't calmed down."
As for Liam Gallagher, he seems to think Oasis can make it without brother Noel. Liam told friends, "If Noel thinks he can just walk away from me and the band then I will obliterate him. He'll be begging to rejoin my band."

Good Little Every Day Camera

About Me Casual Photographer
Good camera for my teen. Good price point (but went on sale for $20 less after the Black Friday sale :( ). Very compact and easy to use.
(1 of 1 customers found this review helpful)
Surprising amounts of fun!
By neurospasm
from Anchorage, AK
This camera is sweet! Purchased online through the big 'A' brand, they listed it as a touch screen, to which it is not. Nonetheless, on opening and pulling it from it's tight little package, you feel it's heft that assures a quality product. Very stylish, and a quality zoom optic had me decide to ditch my quick-view binoculars! Not only did I buy one for myself at the time, I also bought one for a friend with no regrets. We are still finding fun uses for all the modes. Very compact, but not so small to be user un-friendly.

Charlottesville schools are getting a boost to help close the gap on a $1.7 million budget shortfall for next year. City Council is stepping up to help fill the deficit.
A majority of Charlottesville City Council agreed to grant the school board its $830,000 request Friday. But those who did not agree argued the school system is managing its money inefficiently.
"We said last year that it was one-time funding and now we have gone back on that," said Dede Smith, a Charlottesville city councilor.
Smith says she is surprised that a majority of council backed the school board's funding plea.
"We're back, you know, to the degree practically that we did last year again. It appears as if at least a large majority of it is one-time funding doesn't help the situation at all and I just feel that there has not been any fundamental change in the way that our school system operates fiscally," said Smith.
Council had already agreed to give the school board $1.9 million for next year.
Now they are tacking on another $830,000, making the total amount given close to last year's $3 million in one-time funding.
The school board and councilors in support of the boost say lack of funding at the state and federal level already has them facing $1 million in cuts.
"There's cuts everywhere from clerical to support to some teaching, some programs that affect teaching, but we're trying hard to obviously start from furthest out in the classroom," said Willa Neale, a member of the Charlottesville School Board.
"We've got all these perfect-storm issues that have happened over the last few years and I think that what happened in this room today is that council - a majority of councilors - agreed that education is one of the most important things we do as a council," said Kristin Szakos, a Charlottesville city councilor.
Smith says the issue just needs to be approached differently.
"We need to re-look at how we provide quality public education in a more efficient way," said Smith.
Charlottesville schools are scheduled to adopt this budget on February 28.
The groups also talked about forming a subcommittee with two city councilors, two school board members and administrative staff to go over the budget in more detail.
