There are rules to a Spartan Race. If you've done one, you know them.
Fail an obstacle and you will do 30 burpees. Chest-to-the-ground burpees. There should be dirt on your chest proving you've gone all the way down. Those out there that have done a race know this, those that haven't have probably heard from friends so yeah, they know too.
If you have a Tyrolean traverse to get across, breaking out all your rock climbing harnesses and locks will not only have some furrowed brows thrown your way, but you'll also be told that your race is over.
The last main rule is to stick to the marked path. Invent your own short cut and at best you'll be disqualified. Worst-case scenario, you'll get lost in the wilderness and be eaten by lions, tigers and bears. Oh my.
But there's the unwritten rules of Spartan Race that everyone should be aware of. Not so much rules as etiquette. While these are just guidelines for those in the open heats who aren't concerned with their times they should still, where appropriate, be observed:
1) If you are running alone and happen upon other folk running without a partner, be quick to figure out whether they are the chatty type. Some people like to go about the course speaking very little and saving the air in their lungs for what lay ahead. Naturally there will be others that will talk on and on about everything from their new blender to how their kid is doing in school. Maybe about how said child just nailed that part she got in the school's production of the nativity, "She played the donkey SO WELL!".
If they don't want to talk, let them be. If they do, excellent! You'll be sharing stories about the first time you saw Metallica in no time.
2) There may come a time that you feel you need to clear your nose or jettison some kind of mouth/nose fluid. If you absolutely must do this, make sure you don't do it the same side as your running partner. Move over to the side and do what needs to be done. A little respect goes a long way.
3) Passing people will inevitably happen. If you hear them approaching and you're walking or running more slowly politely move out of the way. Find an area where they can skip by and continue as they are clearly running for time. There's nothing more frustrating than being stuck behind folk oblivious to the fact that there is someone behind them that wants to pass.
Conversely if you can see someone you know you need to pass shout out "on your left" or "on your right". This signifies that you are approaching and intend to pass on their left or their right. Give them time to hear and comply. Shouting this when you are so close that you can tell which deodorant they are wearing isn't going to work. You'll just make them jump and probably cause a collision due to being startled. Shout from too far away and you may as well try flag signaling. Shouts can be lost due to hills, wind, trees, bushes, etc.
If the trail is clearly single track, remove the headphones. Yes, rocking out to Guns N' Roses is great for seeing the trails go by more quickly, but the girl behind you has Slayer on and is running faster than you.
4) Give shouts of encouragement as you pass, but not to the point of being patronizing. A simple, "you got this!", "keep going!", "great job!" or such is ample and will be appreciated. "There, there, have you got a stitch-witchy? Awwww" is asking for a row of knuckles. A little boost in confidence via praise is always welcome and it takes seconds to do. Share some love!
5) If you run with a Camelbak or fuel belt, always carry more than you need. You may come across someone cramping or dehydrated. Small packets of salt or mustard take up little room and are great for cramps. Let them wash it down with a little of your water or sports drink and make sure they are ok. It will take 5 minutes and who knows, you may have just met your new best friend or soul mate.
6) Coming to an aid station is where we should all have the British in us rise to the surface. It's a well-known fact that the British are the kings and queens of standing in line. Some have even been suggested that an Englishman can form an orderly queue of one, so take note.
If you've been running with the same group of people for the last mile or so, it's not cool to sprint ahead and help yourself. Let whoever appears to need it the most go first and remain in your running positions.
7) Most importantly, thank the volunteers. A word of thanks, a quick joke about "mistaking" the water for gin or vodka, anything to just give them a positive word or smile. It goes along way and is the karma chaos theory at its finest. What goes around, comes around. Everyone likes to be thanked or told something nice, right? Being all elbows and attitude is how to gain enemies and lose friends.
8) DO. NOT. LITTER. Treat the course with the highest level of respect. If you have Gu gels or protein bars, the wrappers stay with you. Put it back in your Camelbak or fuel belt. If need be stuff it into your sock or sports bra. There are litter bins at the finish line you can use. Spartan Race is lucky enough to see some of the most spectacular trails in the world. Sprinkling debris and litter all over the place is not ok. If you see someone littering, politely call him or her out on it. If you see any pick it up and take it with you to the next water station where you can throw it in a trash can.
At the end of the day, it's all about treating the course and each other in the same way you'd like to be treated yourself. Show a little respect and the race will show you it right back.
See you at the finish line…

New Google maps show vacant structures across Louisville
Demolition of abandoned properties is up 30 percent. More than 77 homes are being forced into foreclosure due to owner neglect and abandonment. A real estate broker has been hired to quickly move properties from city government to new owners.
Those are some of the steps Louisville Metro Government has taken in the last year to address the complex issue of vacant and abandoned properties that plague neighborhoods, hurt property values and encourage crime.
"Though we have much, much more work to do, I'm proud that our team is showing progress," Mayor Greg Fischer said today during a news conference at Metro Hall. He was joined by Metro Councilwoman Attica Scott, who announced that she would dedicate $25,000 in District 1 Capital Infrastructure Funds to help defray the costs of demolishing dilapidated and abandoned homes in the district.
One house scheduled to be razed this week is located at 3313 Hale Street, which has been deteriorating since at least 2002 and has been cited 90 times by various city inspectors.
"It was once a nice two-story house — a place where families were raised, children played, birthdays were celebrated, meals were eaten," Fischer said. "It's unfortunate that the city is tearing down this structure because this house was once a beautiful home that added character to this neighborhood. But, it certainly represents the broader issue we have in Louisville with vacant and abandoned properties."
For the past two years, an entire team of city employees, including the Mayor's Innovation Delivery Team funded by Bloomberg Philanthropies, has been working on reducing the number of vacant and abandoned properties. Louisville has an estimated 6,000 to 7,000 vacant homes and, of those, about 1,300 are abandoned.
The goal is to reduce the number of abandoned properties by 40 percent (504 properties) in the next three years and 67 percent (844 properties) in five years. Reaching those goals will require a variety of efforts, from forcing vacant and abandoned homes into foreclosure and then getting them into the hands of new owners to targeted demolition of the worst properties.
Recent progress includes:
Fischer also announced that, starting Feb. 1 and continuing the first business day of each month, the city will publicly release a list of all properties that have either been forced into foreclosure or demolished in the previous month.
"This is another step in showing the public how we are working to reduce the number of vacant properties," Fischer said.
Fischer also highlighted some of the steps his administration has accomplished since taking office two years ago. They include:

Wind. Smoke. Pollution. Heating and air conditioning. Computer screens. Indoors or outdoors, wherever you go you are in contact with elements that take moisture away from your contact lenses making them feel dry and uncomfortable. That's why dryness is the number one complaint among contact lens wearers. Until now.
Every bottle of SOLOCARE AQUA comes with a MicroBlock® anti-bacterial lens case that not only helps to kill bacteria on contact, but also resists the growth of new bacteria on the lens case.
SOLOCARE AQUA can be used to clean, disinfect and store all soft contact lenses. It works in two different ways - as a quick 10-second rub and five-minute soak, or as a four hour soak.

Okeechobee, Fla.
Larson is a third-generation dairy producer in southern Florida, milking 4,200 cows.
**Extended comments highlighted in blue.
Water quality has always been a concern at Larson Dairy. Mosquito Creek, a tributary to Lake Okeechobee, moves water and nutrients from the north, directly through our two dairies to the southern end of our farms, where most of our water sampling occurs.
Florida's Department of Environmental Protection has suggested projects over the years, including an interceptor seepage system and additional pivots and sampling wells.
We have strived to maintain or improve the quality of water that comes in contact with our operation. However, we are at the point where growth has stopped because of environmental issues. Under current regulations on cow numbers, to increase the herd size we would need to purchase additional land for waste management.
One of our barns has a system that gives up 50-plus acres for waste storage ponds. Solids settle, and eventually the third-stage ponds pump out onto fields via two (110-acre) pivots. We have just added a 38-acre pivot that takes water from the second-stage waste storage pond.
Two years ago, samples indicated that our waste storage ponds might be leaking into Mosquito Creek. We then quickly implemented our seepage interceptor system. This is a long series of hoses surrounding the waste storage ponds that collect water and pump it back to the second or third waste storage pond via three lift pumps.
We also recently constructed two waste storage ponds that trap nutrient runoff from our commodity barn area. We even built a brim around the entire commodity area to capture storm water runoff in this area. When the ponds are near full, they can be pumped out through a 60-acre pivot onto a newly planted stargrass field.
Larson Dairy has also worked with other businesses that were interested in taking waste off the farm to create value-added products. However, the inability to move a consistent amount of waste material off-farm made it impractical to use this method as part of our best management practices.
We have strived to meet water quality standards as they have changed over the years. However, as cost-share for environmental regulations has decreased, implementing new regulations has become increasingly cumbersome and provided even less opportunity for business growth.

On Tuesday another Todd Akin story began working through the Twitterverse. As a Missourian, I felt compelled to investigate the report claiming Todd Akin said he believed breast milk "cures" homosexuality.
Yeah, yeah…I know that sounds too bizarre for folk to think it is true, but we're talking about Todd Akin here!
The GOP candidate for Senate from Missouri who, up until a couple of weeks ago, legitimately thought that pregnancy could not result from "legitimate rape."
The Akin breast milk story turned out to be news satire, but I understand why so many people gave it a retweet. Faux claims that Todd Akin thinks breast milk cures homosexuality are in line with Akin's actual beliefs.
Akin thinks federal student loans are the equivalent of "stage III cancer." I think his actual quote on this is even more twisted. When asked directly if he would support efforts to prevent a doubling in federal student loan rates, Akin said
America has got the equivalent of the Stage III cancer of socialism because the federal government is tampering in all kinds of stuff it has no business tampering in. So, first to answer your question precisely. What the democrats did to get rid of the private student loans and take it all over by the government was wrong. It was a lousy bill. That's why I voted no. The government needs to get its nose out of the education business.
Okay, the man said "stage II cancer of socialism" while talking about federal student loans! Can you even imagine his response if someone actually did ask him for his thoughts on breast milk?
Akin also claims that the federal school lunch program needs to go because it doesn't fall within the framework of the Constitution.
And let's not forget that Todd Akin thinks the landmark 1965 Civil Rights Act should be overturned, because he thinks everything should be decided by the states. Akin was 18 years old when the Civil Rights Act passed and one would think he'd have noticed all the people of color having their Constitutional rights violated by states which resulted in the Act in the first place. I suppose expecting that level of deep thinking out of Akin would be too much like right.
Anyhoo, I think Missourians should take note that of just how easy it was to believe Todd Akin would publicly state that breast milk "cures" homosexuality.
The problem here isn't that the Twitterverse is gullible.
Tis that Todd Akin has a track record of publicly displaying his allegiance to the fringe that makes just about any fantastical statement attributed to him believable.

PARIS — Three-time European champion Inter Milan opened its Europa League campaign with a hard-fought 1-0 win away to Ukrainian side Dnipro Dnipropetrovsk, while defending champion Sevilla had an easier 2-0 win against Feyenoord on Thursday.
Three-time champion Sevilla took control with first-half goals from midfielders Grzegorz Krychowiak and Stephane Mbia.
Inter defender Danilo D'Ambrosio scored moments after Dnipro captain Ruslan Rotan was sent off for a second yellow card. D'Ambrosio latched onto Artem Fedetskiy's botched clearance and fired powerfully past goalkeeper Denys Boyko in the 71st minute.
Inter tops Group E after Saint-Etienne's 0-0 draw away to Azerbaijan side Qarabag Agdam, while Sevilla is level at the top of Group G with Standard Liege, which beat Rijeka of Croatia by the same score.
Belgian winger Dries Mertens scored twice as Napoli rallied to beat Sparta Prague 3-1, with Argentina striker Gonzalo Higuain equalizing from the penalty spot before setting up Mertens' first. But Napoli sits second in Group I because Swiss side Young Boys routed Slovan Bratislava 5-0.
An own goal from Ricardo Rodriguez, efforts from defenders Seamus Coleman and Leighton Baines, and a late strike from Belgium forward Kevin Mirallas helped Everton crushed German side Wolfsburg 4-1 in Group H. Lille drew 1-1 with Russian side Krasnodar in the other game.
Group E rivals Dynamo Moscow and PSV Eindhoven also won.
Forward Aleksandr Kokorin and midfielder Aleksei Ionov scored Dynamo's goals in a 2-1 win at Greek side Panathinaikos, while a penalty from Dutch striker Luuk de Jong earned PSV a 1-0 home win against Estoril.
In Group C, the favorites dropped points as Premier League side Tottenham was held to 0-0 at Partizan Belgrade, and Besitkas from Turkey drew 1-1 against Asteras Tripolis.
Algeria striker El Arbi Hilal Soudani scored a first-half hat trick as Dinamo Zagreb thrashed Hungarian side Astra 5-1 to take top spot in Group D, with Scottish side Celtic drawing 2-2 at Austrian side Salzburg despite leading twice.
Romania forward Claudiu Keseru also got three as Steaua Bucharest thrashed Danish side Aalborg 6-0 to take first spot in Group J ahead of Dynamo Kiev, which won 3-0 away to Portuguese side Rio Ave.
Ukraine winger Andriy Yarmolenko, midfielder Younes Belhanda and striker Artem Kravets got a goal each for the visitors.
Fiorentina beat French Cup winner Guingamp 3-0, with all the goals scored by wingers.
Juan Vargas headed in Jasmin Kurtic's cross in the first half and Juan Cuadrado lashed in David Pizarro's well-weighted pass midway through the second. Federico Bernardeschi completed the scoring late on.
Ghanaian winger Mubarak Wakaso scored on his Celtic debut, and Brazilian striker Alan leveled shortly before the break. Midfielder Scott Brown put Celtic back in front after an hour with a deflected volley, only for forward Jonatan Soriano to equalize with a well-struck free kick.

Any suggestion by singer and rapper Eve that Britney Spears didn't sing on her new collaboration with will.i.am "Scream & Shout," has been quashed by her representative.
Jeff Raymond , who is Britney's publicist, tells TMZ , "It's absolute BS. Britney sang the song. Will.i.am wanted her for this song and she sang on it."
Eve had appeared on Bravo's Watch What Happens Live , where she said, "I heard it might not be Britney." A spokesperson for the studio where the track was recorded sarcastically told TMZ, "Was Eve even in studio. Didn't know. She's clearly jealous. I didn't even know she still sings."

The Office of Professional and Career Development presents
WEBCAST: Inspiring Women with Guest Anne-Marie Slaughter
April 24, 2013 - 12:30pm – 2:00pm
University of Pittsburgh School of Law
3900 Forbes Avenue Room 113Pittsburgh, PA 15260
WEBCAST: Inspiring Women with Guest Anne-Marie Slaughter
April 24, 2013
12:30-2:00 p.m.
Room 113
The debate about women having it all reached a fever pitch last year, spurred by Princeton Professor Anne-Marie Slaughter's Atlantic article about her experience working at the State Department. With the future of the legal profession uncertain and law students graduating with fewer jobs to fill, the messaging to our women law students and lawyers about how, whether, when and if you can have it all is more important than ever. At this program, we are honored to host Anne-Marie Slaughter in a one-on-one interview. We will delve into the challenges that arise when women pursue power in the workplace and have family responsibilities at home or other significant commitments outside the office. Attendees will leave the program armed with individual action steps they can take, as well as steps for their employers, that enable women to aspire and thrive - inside the office and out.
DISTINGUISHED GUEST: ANNE-MARIE SLAUGHTER is the Bert G. Kerstetter '66 University Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University. From 2009-2011, she served as Director of Policy Planning for the United States Department of State. Upon leaving the State Department, she received the Secretary's Distinguished Service Award as well as a Meritorious Honor Award and a Joint Civilian Service Commendation Award. Prior to her government service, Dr. Slaughter was the Dean of Princeton's Woodrow Wilson School of Public and International Affairs. She is a frequent contributor to both mainstream and new media, publishing op-eds around the world and curating foreign policy news for over 40,000 followers on Twitter. Dr. Slaughter is the author of "Why Women Still Can't Have it All", the most read article in The Atlantic's history of online publication. She appears regularly on CNN, the BBC, NPR, and PBS, and lectures widely.

EU leaders meet for a summit at which they were supposed to decide who gets which European Commissioner posts – one for each member state – in what will be a huge carve-up, so huge in fact that it may well be that only a very few jobs are decided tonight.
Current best guesses – though they are just guesses – are that despite a willingness among some to play nice with the Brits, Prime Minister David Cameron may lose out again having voted against Juncker at a June summit. He is seeking one of the big economic portfolios; internal market, trade or competition but putting forward a low-profile politician as his point person in Brussels has not that made that any more likely.
Because Juncker, the former Luxembourg premier, is from the centre-right and western Europe, the leaders may look for socialists or women from northern, eastern or southern Europeans for the other two key posts of European Council President and foreign policy chief. Denmark's Helle Thorning-Schmidt keeps getting mentioned in dispatches for the former though her country is not in the euro zone, while the foreign minister of Italy is the frontrunner for the latter.
Conservative Spanish Economy Minister Luis de Guindos is seen as favourite to become the permanent head of the Eurogroup caucus of euro zone finance ministers. But it only requires one piece of this house of cards to be pulled for the whole edifice to collapse. The likelihood is that it will be some weeks yet before all the appointments are settled.
The summit will also discuss the latest in Ukraine. The EU agreed last week to add 11 new names to its list of people hit with asset freezes and asset bans, but that was a highly incremental move which in no way suggests it is any closer to imposing the wider trade sanctions that would really hurt. Nonetheless, with capital outflows of $75 billion in the first half of the year and a flatlining economy, Russia is already hurting.

There is no need to be embarrassed by naturally-occurring body odors. As moms, you know that there are more revealing moments in life that go beyond the occasional odor. Even though you know that normal menstruation comes with an odor, realize that the odor is more noticeable to you than it is to other people around you. If you are self-conscious about it, first rule out any medical reason for an abnormally strong odor by visiting a doctor. Then take other simple precautions to keep the area clean and to make yourself as comfortable as possible during your period.
Items you will need
- Tampons of the right absorbency
- Menstrual pads
- Natural wipes
- Yogurt
- Cotton underwear
Change your tampon or menstrual pad frequently when you have your period. Use tampons during heavy flow times, and change them as often as you need to, which could be every half hour or every three hours. Always make sure the tampon is inserted properly, and the string is left out, to minimize the chance of losing the tampon. After childbirth, you may find that your flow is heavier than it was before and you may need a larger tampon than you did before you gave birth.
Use a sanitary pad in addition to a tampon, to help minimize odors without adding powder and fragrances. The sanitary pad also provides additional protection, especially during heavy flow times. Some women with light flows find that they have less odor when they avoid using tampons. Experiment to see if the odor changes when you use one or the other, or with both.
Wear all-cotton underwear and other breathable fabrics. During your period, avoid wearing tight fabrics including nylons, tights and pantyhose. Layers of clothing, including a pair of underwear plus snug nylons, can trap bacteria.
Reconsider the use of birth control pills which change the frequency of your menstrual period to less than once per month. If you use one of these pills, when your period does come, it may have a stronger odor than if you had your period at its natural monthly rate.
Keep the vaginal area clean during menstruation, with warm water and a cloth between daily showers. Use unscented soap, or unscented wipes during your period. Be sure to wipe from front to back as well, because when you use a tampon you do not want to get anything on the tampon that does not go there.
Add yogurt with lactobacilli into your daily diet. This type of good bacteria found in some yogurt (check the label) is the same good bacteria that is found naturally in the vagina. Eating yogurt is a natural way to maintain a good bacteria balance, even during menstruation.
Visit your gynecologist if the odor is strong and you have other symptoms, including itching. If there is irritation during menstruation or at another time, the Mayo Clinic (see Resources) recommends making an appointment to rule out bacterial or yeast infections.
- Accept that there is a natural odor with menstruation and with normal vaginal discharge.
- Never douche during your period, and limit douching at all other times.
- Avoid overly-scented soaps which can actually do more harm than good.

RES2/406: Making Complex Datasets Available over the Web
N Walker
Institute of Public Health, Cambridge, UK
ABSTRACTIntroduction: The internet is the (current) ideal medium for sharing simple data: but the tools for describing complicated datasets, and the ethics and resulting technology for sharing confidential data are less well understood.
Methods: I first describe a simple dataset we've put on the web - some of the world's first genome screen data. The data is anonymous; there was full subject consent; there is no foreseeable subject harm/benefit from data release; and the data sets are in a form readily understood by scientists working in the field. I then describe a large-scale longitudinal epidemiological study, and the tools used to make this comprehensible to secondary data users - the main innovation being a searchable data dictionary and interactive decision support for selecting data subsets from the multi-thousand variable whole. Thirdly I describe the current data access arrangements - "good enough" anonymity, and ftp access for signed-up collaborators. Lastly I describe fully-functioning experimental alternatives: aggregated tables (generated with reference to the data dictionary) and raw data access for named collaborators via encryption, the web's HTTPS protocol using Secure Socket Layers.
Results: Datasets can be shared via the Web, however complex or confidential. For a simple (but important) dataset, see: http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/MSgenetics/ . For a complex dataset and support tools, see: http://www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/cfas/ or https:// www.mrc-bsu.cam.ac.uk/cfas/. This currently uses US-export (i.e. weak) levels of encryption.
Discussion: There is increasing pressure (from, for example, the Medical Research Council in the UK) to share data collected during publicly-funded medical research. While the social sciences have shared data for many years via archive sites, "patient confidentiality" has prevented it in the medical world. Ironically, the increased use of biological samples- which require far greater stress on confidentiality and the anonymity of public records - have led to proposals for public databases of, and potential competition for, these scarce, expensive resources. For social sciences, record anonymisation is the stripping of identifiers, but they also rely on the fierce legalese of "undertaking forms" to prevent subject identification. This model is breaking down with linked genotypic/phenotypic data - where it might become hugely financially worthwhile to identify a study subject. The data dictionary approach - adopted as an aid to understanding a large complex dataset, can also be used to generate anonymised subsets of the data, and aggregated tables live on the Web. However, full access will require the newer, secure web protocols - if we can find the political and financial will to buy it in from the States.

I love the look, fit, design.. I'm so happy with my new suit! The look is a bit retro,& very slimming. I'm grateful they are offering a skirted bottom with this style , not all of us over 40 thinks we should share our backsides.... As good as you might feel you look, I prefer to see you covered. Leave it for the young ! Love the fabric,& the cut, great suit. August 8, 2014
Too big I bought this top and matching bottom and loved the way it looked. After I wore it for the first time, it actually expanded around the bust area and the straps around the neck hurt after wearing for a while. For the amount of money I paid, I am very disappointed at what happened to it. July 27, 2014
Very comfortable top. Good quality. Very comfortable top. I ordered this on-line at 3pm Pacific time for overnight delivery thinking it would not get processed that same day. Low and behold, I received my top less than 24 hours after ordering! The only complaint I have is that the stripes did not line up from the sewing job (front piece to back piece). For the money, they should have matched up. June 10, 2014
I loved the way it looked I tried this on in the store, and I loved the way it looked, but it was a bit big in a small, and they didn't have an extra small in the store. I paid extra to have it next day delivered so I could have it in time for vacation. the first time I wore it it actually fell off in the ocean (with the back part still tied). It was extremely embarrassing. I am not that small of a person #size 6 usually and C cup bra) but the extra small was still too large. March 15, 2014

5 Hated Stocks Poised to Pop on Earnings
Under Armour
Another earnings short-squeeze trade candidate is apparel player Under Armour (UA), which is set to release numbers on Thursday before the market open. This company is engaged in the development, marketing and distribution of apparel, footwear and accessories for men, women and youth. Wall Street analysts, on average, expect Under Armour to report revenue of $576.36 million on earnings of 52 cents per share.
During the last quarter, Under Armour beat Wall Street estimates by once cent, coming in at a profit of 6 cents per share versus estimates of 5 cents per share. That marked the fourth straight quarter where the company topped Wall Street estimates. This company has averaged year-over-year revenue growth of 31.3% over the last four quarters.The current short interest as a percentage of the float for Under Armour is extremely high at 17.1%. That means that out of the 78.59 million shares in the tradable float, 13.34 million shares are sold short by the bears. The bears have also been increasing their bets from the last reporting period by 8.2%, or by about 232,000 shares. If the bears are caught pressing their bets into the quarter, then this stock could explode to the upside post-earnings. From a technical perspective, UA is currently trading above its 200-day moving average and just below its 50-day moving average, which is neutral trendwise. This stock has been uptrending modestly for the last month and change, with shares moving from a low of $53.28 to its recent high of $60.20 a share. During that uptrend, shares of UA have been making mostly higher lows and higher highs, which is bullish technical price action. That move has now pushed UA within range of triggering a near-term breakout trade post-earnings. If you're bullish on UA, then I would wait until after its report and look for long-biased trades if this stock can manage to break out above some near-term overhead resistance levels at $60.20 to $60.96 a share with high volume. Look for volume on that move that hits near or above its three-month average volume of 1.5 million shares. If we get that move, then look for UA to enter new 52-week high territory above $60.96 a share. Some possible upside targets for UA on that move are $65 to $75 a share post-earnings. I would avoid UA or look for short-biased trades if after earnings it fails to trigger that breakout, and then drops below some key near-term support at $56 a share with heavy volume. If we get that action, then UA will setup to re-test or possibly take out its next major support levels at $54.20 to $53.28 a share. Any high-volume move below $53.28 a share could send UA back towards its 200-day at $49.57 a share post-earnings.

TileVault: More Cement Tile Inspiration
Maxwell posted a photo of Morrocan cement tiles recently and we love their time-worn beauty as well. In an entryway or kitchen where there's no upholstered furniture to clash with, they draw your eye in and welcome you. And they are a perfect antidote to all things sleek and shiny...
We don't have hallways this large, but we do have a sorta-mudroom area at the back door which would be a great place to inlay some tiles into the wood floor in a little area "rug." There are a lot of of places that sell new and antique cement tiles, and there are so many colors! Some of the newer patterns are easier to get and would even look great as a backsplash or as an accent under a bathroom sink.
Our friend Nancy installed cement tiles around the tub in her bathroom and mixed it with a wood floor. We've always loved how it manages to be both warm and cool at the same time.
Here are some links to places that sell new and antique cement tiles:

They are the perfect antidote...an anecdote is a story.
dreamy gettaway house, but its yours- I like that!
Oh I looooove cement tiles! The best ones I have seen are in colonial buildings in Southeast Asia... so cool and perfect on bare feet, and beautiful with white walls, dark wood and a quiet ceiling fan...
Aw. The tile in the first photo is freakishly GORGEOUS!
The glass work and moldings in the third photo... FABULOUS!
They don't make 'em like that anymore.
you can find more links to them by searching under "encaustic tile" -- lots of great salvaged ones are around, especially in the UK, where they were popular in Victorian and Edwardian entryways.
This site is really cool, giving a better idea of the breadth of the product (and the tiles Maxwell showed are there too):
If you look closely at the border tile near the wood in the bathroom photo, you will see why it is very important to stay right with your tile layers as they install your patterned cement tile. I just had about 6 rooms covered in cement tile last week and even tho I was onsite the whole time, I almost missed several screw-ups and in one instance, a wrong solid color got installed outside a bordered tile rug. Half of it was done before I saw it. But as luck would have it, the color looks OK, so no big deal. I like it.
I also tried to pull each and every tile out of the boxes myself and look for any I wanted to 'cull' . Occasionaly a cement tile gets made w/ the colors in the wrong place, or one gets put in the wrong box. Or the color is smeared or just plain 'off'. You are lucky if your tile layer watches and catches those. Most don't or can't. (Remember that many men are color blind!)
But the point is, tile layers are basically interested in one thing, getting tile on that floor as fast as possible. So with complicated designs, stay with them and supervise.

Divided House Republicans grapple with immigrationBy ERICA WERNER
The Associated Press | July 11,2013AP Photo
Former President George W. Bush, right, stands for a photo with Mondell Bernadette Avril after she was sworn in as a U.S. citizen during a ceremony at the The George W. Bush Presidential Center in Dallas on Wednesday.WASHINGTON House Republicans on Wednesday confronted the politically volatile issue of immigration, their ranks divided and their way forward unclear even as national GOP leaders pressured them to act.
The latest prominent Republican to wade into the debate was former President George W. Bush, who urged Congress to reach a positive resolution on overhauling U.S. immigration laws, a goal that eluded him during his presidency. His comments suggested a need for Republicans to deal with immigration in a broad way, though he avoided specifics during brief remarks at a naturalization ceremony at his presidential library in Dallas, and he didnt directly endorse a comprehensive Senate-approved plan.
We can uphold our tradition of assimilating immigrants and honoring our heritage of our nation built on the rule of law. But we have a problem. The laws governing the immigration system arent working; the system is broken, Bush said.
At the White House, President Barack Obama met with members of the all-Democratic Congressional Hispanic Caucus, as the fate of one of his top second-term priorities rested in the hands of the restive House GOP.
Said presidential press secretary Jay Carney, Its the moral thing to do. Well keep at it.
Republican lawmakers were convening a special meeting Wednesday afternoon to try to work out a summer strategy following Senate passage late last month of a far-reaching bill. The Senate measure would spend tens of billions on border security, create new legal avenues for workers to come to the U.S., require employers to verify their workers legal status and establish a path to possible eventual citizenship for the estimated 11 million already here illegally.
The calculus in the Republican-controlled House may be more complex and daunting.
Many of the conservatives who wield power in the House are in districts with few Hispanic voters and are thus insulated from much of the pressure to act on immigration. Speaker John Boehner, R-Ohio, already has rejected the idea of bringing the Senate bill to the House floor. He has pledged that no legislation will move without the support of a majority of his Republicans.
Like many in his conference, Boehner has said border security must come first. And many Republicans prefer a piecemeal, step-by-step approach rather than a single big bill like the one the Senate passed.
But for many, the most vexing issue is what to do about those who are already in the U.S. illegally.
The Senate bill offers a 13-year path for most, contingent on paying fines, learning English and meeting other qualifications. Agriculture workers and people brought to the United States as youths would have a faster route.
In the House, most Republicans are reluctant to endorse citizenship for 11 million unauthorized immigrants, but also shy away from suggestions of deportation.
Ahead of Wednesdays meeting, many lawmakers seemed to be gravitating toward supporting legal status of some kind for millions here illegally. But exactly what and how were far from clear.
For some, a guest worker status would be as far as it goes, while others left open the possibility that once theyre in the country legally, immigrants eventually could attain citizenship through existing channels of family or employer sponsorship. Still others were focused on citizenship for people brought to the country as youths, military veterans and perhaps others whove lived in the country for years and proven their contributions to society.
I wouldnt prohibit forever people from getting citizenship, said Rep. James Lankford, R-Okla. Im a Christian, and restitution and reconciliations a big deal. If you do something illegal or inappropriate you should be able to resolve that, face the penalty, clear it and be forgiven.
GOP presidential candidate Mitt Romney fared abysmally with Hispanic and Asian voters last year after suggesting that people in the country illegally could self-deport. Such suggestions have been heard rarely among Republicans since Romneys loss. But there is a hardcore group in the House that opposes any legal status for people here illegally.
Im not going to support any kind of legalization because legalization is amnesty, is eventual citizenship if not instantaneous citizenship, and if we do that we get more law breakers, Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, said.
If House Republicans do embrace something short of citizenship, its not clear Democrats would go along. Republicans control 234 House seats and Democrats 201. Passing legislation requires a majority vote of 218 if all members are voting. Passing immigration legislation is likely to require some Democratic votes, and Democrats insisted Tuesday that nothing but a path to citizenship would suffice.
America has stood for citizenship, Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said. We have a Statue of Liberty here. It never has said you come here and youll be second class. We will not stand for it. It will not happen.
Obama also has said he would not sign a bill without a path to citizenship.MORE IN This Just InA Rutland judge has denied Christopher Sullivan's motion to exclude an expert's testimony from...

If you happen to be one of MODERN SALON's nearly 300,000 Facebook fans, no doubt you've witnessed our addiction to Pinterest.
We love using the site to "repin" hair styles, nail designs, fashion, salon decor ideas, and all things beauty. Recently, we came across this braid on Pinterest—which was originally pinned from weheartit.com.
The braid that created all the buzz! Repinned from weheartit.com. MODERNs Braids We Adore pinboard created on Pinterest. Follow us by searching for Modern Salon.
When we repinned it, and shared it on Facebook, our fans went WILD! This look was one of our top "talked about" posts ever. It reached thousands of "likes," hundreds of shares and tons of comments in about an HOUR. AN HOUR!
Marci from 1033 Main Salon and Spa in Mumford, New York, recreated the draped french braid ponytail seen on pinterest.com/modernsalon and facebook.com/modernsalon. Though we were able to see how the braid was constructed, we didn't feel confident enough to explain how to do it. So, we turned to you, the experts, with a challenge to recreate the look. Marci, from 1033 Main Salon and Spa in Mumford, New York, not only did so, but provided a step-by-step video on how to achieve it. Watch her video below to see her in action.

"Music is the voice of the Jamaican people. We think about it hour to hour, year to year. The speed of it changes, the voice changes. But it always depends on what is happening in our society." Sean Paul Hotel Mocking Bird Hill has developed with Backayard Magazine a superb new music tour of Kingston that explores the history of Jamaica's most acclaimed musicians & producers across ska reggae, rock steady and dance hall. Amilcar Lewis the magazine's editor plays guide, giving an insightful and colourful story of the musical trends Jamaica created around the world.
Waxy Beat, Rebel Bass
Beyond Jamaica's biggest export, Mr Bob Marley, and a hallowed tour of the museum created in his memory, we visit exploring the fascinating Jamaican Music Museum, whose archive, research and exhibit Jamaica's music forms to highlight the social, historic & musical values and aesthetics. Lunch is upon request, depending on what you'd like to eat, Amilcar will recommend a restaurant, street food or even going to the local thriving Jubilee Market with its diverse set of pushcarts and stalls, selling anything you'd ever need, and a people-watching window into the real Jamaica from where the music started.
Orange Street Labels
After lunch the tour continues to weave though Jamaica's capital following in the footsteps and record shops of the legendary musician and producer Winston Riley, founder of the best-selling cutting edge Techniques Label, behind the most sampled reggae song Stalag Ridim, and creator of the UK's 1971 first No.1 reggae hit Double Barrel. Reggae thrived from the competing small labels on Orange Street and included in the tour is the melodica roots reggae musician and dub producer Augustus Pablo's label and still busy shop, Rockers International. Home to Junior Delgado and King Tubby our musical stop includes listening to the tunes that made this label internationally acclaimed and so busy that it still thrives today.
Vinyl Archives
Vinyl still plays a part on Jamaica's sound systems; we watch a pressing at what was regarded as Kingston's first state of the art studio, Dynamic Sounds, originally named WIRL Studios, (West Indies Records Ltd). It was established in the 1950s to record Jamaica's version of American Rhythm & Blues tunes that were proving popular on the island at that time during the 50's. We get to play on the mixing desk used by legendary figures from Jamaica and abroad and watch the whole process of recording, imprinting onto vinyl and labelling in one of the last remaining pressing plants on the island. For those that would like a keepsake you can record your own dancehall, reggae edit to play to your friends Tours start at 10.00 am and cost US$ 106.00 per person based on 2 people participating but not including transport. The price is reduced per head if a family or groups wish to participate or alternatively if the recording session is not required in which case it is US$88.50. There is the option to visit the Culture Yard in Trenchtown in addition $15 entrance fee per person.
Join us on Wednesdays for free DubStep live
Bookings received by the end of April receive a free online subscription to Backayard Magazine Wednesday Night Live Music Many observers have said that our island of Jamaica seemly does everything to a musical beat. From the politicians and civil servants to the venders that colourfully dot the roadside, all has a history with or been inspired by sound emanating from speakers island-wide. So vast is Jamaica's musical history that it would take several trips to many different locations to learn it all, however we have taken the time to streamline it all in-view of a better experience for our guests. Head tour guide Philip Lobban affectionally known as "MusicPhill" in addition to having hosting his own radio show, (The MusicPhill Roots Reggae Show) has worked at record shops such as: Derrick Harriott, Sonic Sounds, Disco Land Record Shop, MusicFair, Aquarius and the world famous Joe Gibbs Records. Tour Coordinator Amilcar Lewis co-created and still runs Jamaica's only reggae/dancehall culture magazine (BACKAYARD Magazine) which has put him direct contact, over the years, with most of the local music makers both past and present. Come along with us and move to the reggae beat.

Buttler served contract
The ECB today announced that Somerset wicketkeeper batsman Jos Buttler has been awarded an England increment contract for 2011-12.
Buttler qualifies for the award by virtue of having played nine Twenty20 internationals and one one-day international in the contract year. The T20s were against India, three against Pakistan, one against West Indies and three against South Africa, as well as the opening match in the ICC World Twenty20 against Afghanistan. The ODI was against Pakistan in the UAE in February earlier this year.
Non-contracted players can earn an England increment contract via a points system. Five points are awarded for a Test appearance and two for a T20 or ODI appearance, with an increment contract being awarded automatically once the player reaches 20 points during the 12-month contract period.
ECB National Selector Geoff Miller said: "This award reflects the contribution Jos has made this year in the shorter formats of the game for England and we congratulate him on his achievement."

Our away results have been superb this season but we face yet another big test on our travels in the FA Cup. What on earth is wrong with the draw process?! We always seem to be drawn away from home against a Barclays Premier League team whilst City constantly get home ties against the likes of the Dog and Duck! Oh well, I really hope we do well in this year's competition - it's been far too long since United won the FA Cup. How about a Wembley double of FA Cup and Champions League in May or am I dreaming?

Spider-Man is back! The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man re-opens at Universal Orlando
Written by Domenik Jost
"The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man was so wonderful before," said comic book icon, Stan Lee. "But now – with all of the new technology that's been added – it is indescribably spectacular." I couldn't agree with him more. The day has FINALLY arrived that Universal Orlando reopens The Amazing Adventures of Spider-Man.Tweet
The ride has been down for the last month to allow for the upgrade to a new 4K digital high definition Infitec 3-D projection system, new audio system, new lighting, and upgraded attraction's sets.
The morning began with a very brief opening ceremony and then it was straight onto the ride. The queue hasn't changed asides from a few small minor touchups and display upgrades.
Getting closer to the ride, it was time to grab the new 3-D "Spider-Vision" glasses, which are made with new dichroic filtered lenses to allow for vivid colors and clarity. For those familiar with the Star Tours: The Adventure Continues 3-D glasses, the Spider-Man lenses are smaller in comparison and are more limiting in view. The frames themselves look about the same size but are also slightly smaller and not as prescription glasses friendly. They do not fit over the full frame of prescription glasses unlike the Star Tours 3-D frames, which comfortably fit over a set of modern prescription glasses and still allow for a full viewing experience of the ride. In addition the new lens filters make the rest of the sets on the ride look darker.
The vehicles have had their sound system upgraded from 8-channel to 16-channel surround sound making it even more immersive. The ride itself is for the most part the exact same story. Every scene on the ride has been rescored and re-animated to 4K high definition animation including added details of everything in the scenes as well as at least one new element in each scene.
Let me just say the new animations look stunning and the audio is clearer than ever. The new animation includes several cameos by Spider-Man co-creator Stan Lee (I managed to find him in two scenes but I heard he appears in three). The details in the images are stunningly crisp and the colors are vivid. Universal has taken what has been an amazing attraction for the past decade and made it even better. The 2002-2005 best attraction winner should now definitely be a strong award contender once again. It is definitely worth going to check out the updated ride.
Update: Here's a video from Universal, with some on-ride footage:
Readers' Opinions
From N B on March 8, 2012 at 2:24 PM
Awesome. Can't wait to go in June. I figured they would use the new glasses that I posted about a few weeks ago. Dichroic polarized lenses will make a huge difference alone. They don't have that dark tint the regular glasses have.
From Eric Malone on March 8, 2012 at 2:40 PM
I had forgotten the ride even went down for the new upgrades. Looking forward to riding it. They were correct that the ride was amazing before, but looking forward to seeing how much better it is now.
From Rob Pastor on March 8, 2012 at 2:44 PM
Great article. The refurbished Amazing Spider-Man is receiving rave reviews on other sites also. I'll be at Universal for 12 days in May & I can't wait to see the upgrade. My opinion was that the previous ride was nearly equal to HP Forbidden Journey (minus the tremendous Forbidden Journey queue). This upgrade may possibly push it back to it's former best attraction status.
From Dominick D on March 8, 2012 at 2:56 PM
I can't wait to ride it this Saturday! Only bad part is the 3D glasses might not fit over my glasses. Quick question though; how bad were the waits?
From Domenik Jost on March 8, 2012 at 4:36 PM
Wait? What waits? ....oh after the Media event. Ahm when I left the media event the time said 30 minutes, but I'm sure that was wrong and was more like 90 minutes.
From Jeffrey H on March 8, 2012 at 7:22 PM
I thought the updated animation was awesome, but the music was glaringly awful. Like "I can't believe someone was paid to compose this music" bad. Whereas the music previously was reminiscent of the 90's Spider-Man cartoon, this one has lots of EuroPop synth "bleepy bloopy" sounding moments and the big musical "gasp" as the Scoop is about to hit the pavement has been removed. I love this ride just as much as I did before, but for me it's kind of 2 steps forward, 2 steps back.
I think this would have been a good opportunity for Universal to change the villain lineup to have each villain have a 4D effect (I'm looking at you Scream). Like maybe Mysterio and have him trick Spider-Man with illusions and fill the room with mist. Something ANYTHING beyond "Oh the humanity, she's swiping her claws at me!"
So in summary: Animation great, music abysmal.
From Dominick D on March 8, 2012 at 7:59 PM
I'm looking for a video just to see how awful the music is.
From Nick Orlando on March 10, 2012 at 7:13 AM
I don't think the music is that bad at all. I have heard speculation that after the sale of Marvel to Disney, Universal would be able to keep the characters they already use in the parks, however they would not be able to add new characters. So a villain shakeup would not be permitted in accordance with their contract. I agree though, Sream is a lame villain.
I rode yesterday and the wait was about 90 minutes, 40 mins for single riders. The new animation is beautiful, but the ending sequence did not seem to have the same intensity as before. The tilt of the ride vehicle seemed far less extream, so Maybe they are breaking the movement in slowly?
From Nick Dakuginow on March 10, 2012 at 2:10 PM
That's me at the 0:53 mark standing with my buddy who talks twice on that video. We were literally the first two people who got on the first ride after the grand ceremony, had a camera crew following us and after the ride, they popped up with cameras and microphones, pretty cool experience. After we left the gift shop, we were brisked to the stage area to do some interviews, about a 3 minute session, truly is a great upgrade to the great ride.
From 18.104.22.168 on March 10, 2012 at 5:48 PM
I rode Spider-Man this past Friday, and while the visual enhancements were a stunning improvement (and long overdue), I found the ride to have been slowed down a bit, possibly due to being able to track the digital 3D better and allow for more clarity during the ride.
As a result, you're able to take in the images onscreen longer (including a few new details and minor scene extensions), but the physical ride itself seems much less 'wild', and, as a result, a bit less fun than it used to be.
It's kind of like adding trim brakes to The Beast. Sure it's still great, but not as great as you once experienced. And yes, the new soundtrack will take some getting used to.
From 188.8.131.52 on March 11, 2012 at 5:03 PM
Per the conditions of my NDA, I can't discuss this ride or the upgrades in detail but I can say that this upgrade has taken a great ride and made it even better.
The projection installed by Thursby and his team is first rate.
"Stinky Pete" did a fantastic job on the on-board audio.
Devin is destroying ride vehicles on a daily basis with the enhanced profile. (I suggest that you ride it before it gets toned down...Potter and Transformers were both hobbled within weeks of opening!)
Jet's fixes and expansion of the RSS makes the operation much more user friendly.
Tim's lights look fantastic (even though the use of LED technology has an interesting effect thru the glasses.)
If you live in Orlando, get in your car and use your annual pass. If you are stuck somewhere else in the US, those airplane things aren't as expensive as they look. Get on this ride ASAP.

Arrests dropping during all three festival weekends for Coachella and Stagecoach.
Police made a total of 171 arrests over two Coachella weekends, down from 235 last year. They made 124 arrests during Stagecoach, down from 174 last year. During all three weekends, the majority on alcohol- and drug-related charges — and, most popularly, underage drinking.
More than 80,000 people paid for entrance into the sold-out Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival each weekend. An estimated 45,000 people paid to get into Stagecoach Festival at the Empire Polo Club in Indio.
Law enforcement from across Southern California are tapped to be on the grounds — including the four police departments in the valley (Cathedral City, Desert Hot Springs, Indio and Palm Springs) and the Riverside County Sheriff's Department.
Here's the recap of arrest numbers, from Indio police:

Cannondale used the occasion to introduce the team to the cycling media, and discuss goals for the season. "The athletes are the windows into Cannondale for people around the world," said Rory Mason, the brand's sports marketing director. Mason was not shy about outlining the team's two primary objectives—performing well at the Olympics and winning a World Cup race. While he won't be gunning for an Olympic bid this year, nobody personifies Cannondale's team philosophy better than the legendary Tinker Juarez, who has ridden for Cannondale for 18 years.

The HIll: Drudge, global warming shut down Senate site
January 23, 2007
Posted by firstname.lastname@example.com
Emily Heil, in her column Under the Dome in The Hill newspaper, uncovers the reason why Senate Web sites were down throughout the Senate last Friday morning.From her column:
Internet surfers trying to access the Senate's website on Friday (oh, c'mon, you know you were) might have encountered a bit of a delay. For part of the day, all of the Senate's Web pages, including senators' personal pages and committee sites, were down.
The culprits? Two oft-blamed scourges: DrudgeReport.com and global warming. Well, sort of.
Traffic to a blog posted by Republicans on the Environment and Public Works Committee was so heavy Friday, thanks to a link posted on DrudgeReport.com, that the Senate site got bogged down. The blog entry that caused the stir was critical of the Weather Channel's call for decertification of meteorologists who are skeptical of global warming.
An e-mail sent to Senate offices by the Sergeant at Arms, whose office was scrambling to fix the problem on Friday, read in part, "Drudgereport.com established a link on their web site to a press release on a Senate committee Web site. This link was creating 30-50,000 queries per hour to senate.gov, which in turn was generating a query to the Press Application for each of those hits."
EPW ranking member Sen. James Inhofe (R-Okla.) started the blog in December.
Hmm, now if only the Senate could generate that kind of readership for such scintillating online features as "The Senate's First Decade on the Web."

After taking a Carnival cruise last year and being completely disappointed I was pleasantly surprised by Royal Caribbean's Explorer of The Seas. The cabins need a little updating...starting to have a "worn" look.The public ares must have been updated not too long ago, they seem very nice.
Food very good. Service excellent. Entertainment was very good also. Smoking wasn't even a big issue( it was on Carnival). We prefer smaller ships, but if we had to cruise on a mid-sized ship I would cruise with Royal Caribbean again. My biggest complaint was where we docked in Bermuda. I understand that all cruise ships that go to Bermuda now dock at the Dockyard, and I understand why. With the cruise ships getting bigger and bigger they can no longer "fit" into St. Georges or Hamilton. Yet Bermuda just isn't the same experience when you're at The Dockyard..you're so far away from everything. Don't believe for a minute when they tell you that the buses and ferries are convenient and that with a transportation pass you can go anywhere. Not true...well not exactly.
The transportation pass is wonderful during the day, but if you want to go somewhere in the evening, the buses and ferries don't run quite as frequently. We took a cab to Elbow Beach for a glass of wine one evening...and a cab back (to The Dockyard). Now Elbow Beach is a very magical place, but $108 for two glasses of wine..hmmmmmmm. That was the cost for two glasses of wine and cab fare back and forth. My complaint is not with the cruise line...but maybe it is. PLEASE MAKE SMALLER SHIPS THAT CAN VISIT PORTS THAT ARE REALLY SPECIAL!!!!

UNDATED (WSAU-Wheeler News) More heavy thunderstorms rumbled through northern Wisconsin late yesterday and last night. The National Weather Service said lightning struck an electric regulator in Manitowish Waters – and it started a house on fire. A tree landed on a truck in Antigo. Trees also fell in Shawano, Lincoln, and Marathon counties.
Around 4-inches of rain fell in Rhinelander and Monico in Oneida County. Gile in Iron County got one-inch in less than a half-hour. That same community also had quarter-sized hail.
Parts of northwest Wisconsin also had hail last evening. Officials said the storms diminished as the moved to the southeast overnight. It cooled down yesterday in much of the Badger State, but the mercury still soared into the 90's in west central areas.
Much of southern Wisconsin is supposed to be in the 90's today, with highs near 80 in the north. Grant County will be under a heat advisory from 11 this morning until six tonight. A partly cloudy Labor Day Weekend is expected, with a chance of storms on-and-off.

Superintendent of Public Instruction Tony Evers was in Rothschild and Merrill yesterday, where he was able to observe some of the successes of area educators. Evers says there have been many changes in Wisconsin education with new standards and testing, and budget issues. Evers said, "The challenge right now is to connect the dots. There are so many initiatives, the new standards, developing the new assessment system, the new accountability system. Clearly, budgetary issues are facing our school districts, so it's A: Remain positive and keeping our eye on the prize which is increasing student achievement but also making sure all of these initiatives we're undertaking here and across the state of Wisconsin are connected and people see value in them, and really raise student achievement."
Evers is in Hurley today for the Rural Advisory Committee Meeting.
