HARRISONBURG, Va., Feb. 22, 2013 - The James Madison track & field team gets its last chance to qualify for the Eastern College Athletic Conference indoor championships this Sunday when the Dukes travel to Fairfax, Va., for the George Mason Last Chance meet on Feb. 24.
Madison will send 17 athletes to compete in 11 different events. Field competition gets underway at 10 a.m. with the long jump, and runners line up at 11 a.m. for the preliminary heats of the 60-meter hurdles.
JMU has athletes qualified in 12 events for the ECAC championships held March 1-3 in Boston, Mass. Four of those events were added at the Virginia Tech Invitational Feb. 15-16.
Senior Stacey Nobles (Virginia Beach, Va./Ocean Lakes) added the mile run to the Dukes' list of events when she ran a personal-best 4:57.50 last Friday at Virginia Tech, surpassing the standard of 4:59.04. She is also qualified to run in the 3,000-meter run alongside senior Katie Gorman (Lafayette Hill, Pa./Plymouth-Whitemarsh) and in the distance medley relay with sophomores Kristen Landry (Boonton Township, N.J./Mountain Lakes), Tiel Westbrook (Mechanicsville, Va./Lee-Davis) and Kelsey Langton (Hamilton Square, N.J./Notre Dame H.S.).
Langton used last week's meet to qualify herself for a solo run as she met the standard for the 800-meter run (2:14.44). She ran the race in 2:10.71 and finished second in the event, the highest finish for the purple & gold in Blacksburg, Va.
Juniors Ciarra Morris (Richmond, Va./Meadowbrook) and Erin Lopresti (Cranberry Township, Pa./Seneca Valley) also punched their tickets to Boston at the Virginia Tech Invitational. Morris clocked a personal-best 56.68 in the 400-meter dash, beating the standard of 57.04 seconds, and Lopresti ran a 2:54.40 in the 1,000-meter run, exceeding the ECAC mark of 2:56.24.

Lilian Halter Dress
Online Exclusive
We're sorry. This product is no longer available.

- Ties at neck; back zip
- Polyester; polyester lining
- Dry clean
- Imported
- Style #: 26188227
Rated 5 out of 5Â by Jkim Just as pictured...very pretty! This dress is exactly as pictured. I disagree with the previous review regarding the color. It is not a grey, but a light beige as it should be to compliment all the other colors of the dress. White or cream would be too much of a contrast as it would be too light. However, I do need to iron out the wrinkles in the ruffles due to packaging so they lay more flat on top of each other. Absolutely a bargain for the sale price and great quality. I am 5' 1", 103 lbs and the size 0 fits perfectly. April 16, 2013
Rated 3 out of 5Â by Blibli Good idea, bad dress the color of dress is different from the pictures online. The "white" part is not white or cream, but shows as gray. It makes the dress looks like a very dirty dress. Totally disapponted. By the way, I'm 5'4, 110lbs with 32C. I order 0 size as usual, but the chest and waist parts are tight. So I think it does run small April 11, 2013

Chicago >Food & Dining > Wishbone Restaurant
1001 W Washington Blvd, Chicago, IL | Directions 6060741.882873 -87.652186
M-F 7-3, T-Sa 5-10, Sa-Su 8-3
Neighborhoods: Near West Side, West Side
Always crowded on the weekends, you should be able to easily get in during the week. Try the cornmeal pancakes.
Good Food! – I visited Wishbone Restaurant last week. It was a good day for me. It was lunch break and I decided to go and eat there. The food were good and their service was good too. I'll be back to eat there again.
WAITRESS LOST MY DEBIT CARD – The waitress LOST MY DEBIT card after she charged it and brought me a receipt to sign and no card. Said someone hit her arm and maybe it flew out...really?? They said, "sorry, we'll call you if we find it." Um, it's not an umbrella, it's a debit card!! And, a call was the only thing they offered. I'd better get busy changing card numbers everywhere it's registered.....thanks, Wishbone!
Wanted to visit – I'm not after reading reviews
The worst! – Wishbone is awful. We always have problems when we come here. The menu is bland and mediocre across the board. The dishes usually come cold and our orders are always mixed up or missing something. I'm writing this after just opening our take out bag and seeing that they messed up two of four entrees and completely forgot to give us our fifth. The only reason we still frequent this dump is because my wife has an illogical emotional attachment to it because it was one of the first places she ate at when she first came to Chicago. I'd rather eat Boston Market when I have a craving for "comfort food." The only comfort about Wishbone is on their end... shoddy service, an unimaginitve menu and bad art. A perfect example of a resturant stretching themselves too thin. This place REALLY is lousy!
Nice, but.... – Every time I leave this nice restaurant, I'm disapointed. Today it was for breakfast and I found the 2 egg white omlette with spinach and chesse to be extermely dry and tasteless. The potatoes which came with the dish were also dry, dry, dry. The only item that was normal was the wheat toast. I had to flag down our wait person-- and it wasn't at all busy-- for a check after waiting for more than 15 minutes while my friend and I sat there. She wasn't a nice nor friendly person; she seemed to be frantic. Why? who knows. This should be a lesson to me to stop giving this place another chance-- there are better places.
Eat your heart out, San Francisco! – We"ve loved this place (on Washington) since it first opened.... breakfast, lunch and dinner are all great. I can't even begin to pick out a favorite dish, but the veggie burgers are so good I eat them even though I'm not a vegetarian; I don't think we've ever had anything that we didn't like a lot. We've moved to San Francisco, but never visit Chicago without heading for the Wishbone. Great service, great crowd, great food.
I LOVE the food here. Always bring out-of-towners here to eat some comfort food. Yummy and reminds me of home – I have never had a bad experience here (or the location on Lincoln). The black bean cakes, shrimp & grits, crunchy french toast...it's all wonderful. The martini's are yummy too (can't find them on the online menu but I'm pretty sure we had some there...they do have a liquor license). If you are looking for a home-cooked meal, look no further. The only draw-back is their hours. Now that they are in the midst of a hopping residential area, they should expand their hours!!!
Overrated – "southern-style" maybe if they're trying to copy a pretty ordinary restaurant serving bland food in the south. no major complaints about the place, the food just really isn't very good. would not go back, too many places in the city worth going to.
Fantastic Brunch Spot – I was looking for a place to take my friend for breakfast when he came up from U of Illinois. Since he was downtown, I couldn't take him to the lucky platter in evanston, which is also a very nice breakfast spot. So, through a RAINSTORM, we found the oasis that is Wishbone. I have eaten a lot of breakfasts and brunches. This is one of the best ones that I've had since I have left college (I was spoiled by a good breakfast spot). All of us were thoroughly satisfied with the meal that we had. I had the corn cakes and they were delicious and the cheese grits were fantastic, textured, and hot, not congealed like at other places. The best part of it all: all three of us ate with drinks and all for less than 40 dollars, a fantastic deal. The only problem that I had with the restaurant was that I didn't get enough coffee, but this might have been because we came towards the end of brunch so they didn't have people roaming the floor. Even without the coffee, it was a fantastic experience and I highly recommend it.
Funky West Loop restaurant serves Southern-style cooking with an urban sensibility. – In Short
All windows and exposed ductwork, this cavernous space is adorned with oversized vegetable- and chicken-and-egg-themed paintings. A casual crowd of loft dwellers gather for down-home breakfast fare: Fresh-squeezed orange juice and fruit smoothies; salmon cakes with hollandaise sauce; and the celebrated Red Eggs, a piquant mess of two eggs on corn tortillas with black beans, cheese, ancho chili sauce, sour cream and salsa. Dinner specials include chicken etouffee, stuffed eggplant and simple fish entrees.

Alana Hadley went on her first run at the age of 3.
On June 12, 2010, at 13, she finished 33rd among 5,189 runners in the NYRR New York Mini 10K in Central Park. The field included the defending New York City Marathon champion, Derartu Tulu.
Sunday, the 16-year-old high school sophomore from Charlotte, N.C., will run in her first marathon, and she hopes Cleveland is the first step on her road to the Olympics.Hadley doesn't expect to win the Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon, but the time she hopes to log on Sunday would put her in competition for the crown."I'm really excited," Hadley said. "I'm hoping to get around 2:40, 2:41, 2:42. I feel like that would be really awesome. I'm more looking for experience. I just want to get that experience of running my first marathon."Mary Akor won the 2012 Cleveland Marathon with a time of 2:39.49, and runner-up Venera Sarmosova was second at 2:44.16. The third-place finisher, Beth Woodward, was more than 11 minutes behind Sarmosova.If Hadley reaches her goal, she would seem to have a realistic chance to finish in the top three Sunday.It would be yet another accomplishment in a remarkable young career.Her parents, Mark and Jennifer, were standout distance runners in high school and earned scholarships to run for the University of Mississippi.Mark Hadley is a running coach whose U.S. Marathon Trials Project aims to groom young runners for the 2016 Olympics.One of his prized pupils is his daughter, who emulated her parents' exercise habits at a very early age."I did my first run when I was 3, but I really started doing road races when I was 6," Alana Hadley said. "My dad would go out and go for runs, and I wanted to go with him because I saw him go out all the time."Last year, Hadley finished 29th in the USA Track & Field Half Marathon Championships, 31st in the half marathon in New York City and second in the USATF North Carolina 5K. Also among her roll call of 2012 highlights were top-three finishes in the Myrtle Beach half marathon (first), Royal XC Challenge (first), Greek Festival 5K (first) and Adidas XC Challenge (third).North Carolina High School Athletic Association rules state that athletes can't run in non-NCHSAA-sanctioned events, so Hadley has eschewed winning state championships in cross country or in distance races on the track for competing with adults all over the country."I enjoy the longer races a lot more than shorter races," she said. "Cross country is 5K, and I like the longer races, so I don't run cross country for my high school (Ardrey Kell in Charlotte)."She enjoys the longer runs so much she is piling up more than 100 miles each week in her workouts."During the training cycle that I'm doing to get ready for the marathon, it's 100 to 111 miles per week," Hadley said. "I was running about 100 before I started this cycle, so it's not a big difference."She is, however, a typical teenager in other aspects.Hadley enjoys boy bands, and her website lists her favorite colors as pink and purple. She is active on Twitter and she has a blog that recaps her accomplishments in running.The name of her blog: Growing Up Fast.That will take on new meaning Sunday.
The Rite Aid Cleveland Marathon festivities kick off Saturday with the 5K at 8 a.m., followed by the kids' run at 11 a.m.The marathon and half marathon begin Sunday at 7 a.m., and the 10K will start 30 minutes later.Race organizers expect more than 22,000 participants this week — a leap of about 2,000 over last year's total of 20,008.Akor will be back to defend her 2012 title, and she's having quite a year.The 26-year-old finished first in 2013 in marathons in Pittsburgh, the Woodlands (Texas) and Trinidad and Tobago.The defending men's champion, Abraham Kogo, will be back, as will 2012 runner-up Peter Kembol. The field also will include Mario Macias, who won the Carlsbad and Mercedes marathons this year.

Medina Journal-Register
Medina Journal-Register — The Board of Directors of the Lee-Whedon Library in Medina has announced the start of a major interior renovation project. The library, which will be celebrating its 50th anniversary in 2016, installed a new roof system earlier this year. The interior renovation will address several other overdue and necessary improvements to meet the growing needs of the community.
The following improvements are planned:
• A complete makeover of the interior including ceiling tiles, paint, and carpeting. New colors, fabrics and textures are being installed in an effort to provide a pleasant and welcoming environment. Lighting fixtures will also be upgraded.
• The Children's area will be reconfigured to provide improved space for group activities. A new Teen Center will include a study area and improved technology access.
• Computer capable study areas are planned. High speed internet access points with upgraded computer technology will assure improved speed, ease of use, and security.
• The shelves and display areas will be reconfigured for increased accessibility and efficiency. All public sections of the building will be compliant with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
• Several mechanical issues will be addressed including improved exterior lighting, electronic controls for the heating and ventilation systems and upgrades to the electrical services.
The bid for the project was awarded to Sicoli Construction. The scale of the project will necessitate the closing of the library for an anticipated five-week period, beginning Saturday. During this time, any items that are checked out will not be due until the reopening. In the meantime, library patrons are encouraged to visit any of the NIOGA libraries including those in Albion, Middleport, Lyndonville and Holley, among others.
With this investment in the future and the reopening of what will be a thoroughly renovated building, the board believes that Medina area residents will be able to enjoy state-of-the-art facilities in an attractive environment.
The library will be closed through Oct. 31.

Delegation from Northwestern Polytechnical University Meets with UCLA Assistant Chancellor.
Four visitors from the Northwestern Polytechnical University, Xi'an, Shaanxi Province, Peoples Republic of China, visited UCLA on August 7, in order to gain a better understanding of the United States' higher education system and to learn more about managing a major research university.
Northwestern Polytechnical University (NPU) is situated at the ancient municipality Xi'an, and occupies an area of more than 75 hectares. NPU was founded with the joining of the Northwestern Engineering Institute and Xi'an Aeronautical Institute in 1957 and was later merged with the Aeronautical Department of the Harbin Engineering Institute in1970. The university has nearly 10,000 students, including more than 1,400 doctoral and master candidates, and about 1,600 faculty. NPU has 7 colleges and a total 15 departments with 42 undergraduate specialties, 54 master's disciplines, 19 doctoral disciplines, 5 postdoctoral training programs, and 8 national laboratories. The university contains 28 research institutes, 18 research centers, and 35 research sections. Since 1978, NPU's scientific research achievements have won more than 1,000 awards.
In the span of nearly 40 years since its founding, NPU has graduated 45,000 undergraduates and postgraduates including the first doctors in six disciplines such as aeronautical manufacture engineering. NPU puts much effort into promoting international collegiate activities, as is evidenced in 80 foreign universities and research institutions having signed agreements with NPU in a wide scope of international academic exchange and cooperation in science and technology.
The Chinese visitors met with Antoinette G. Mongelli, Assistant Chancellor, UCLA Office of the Chancellor, who gave an overview of UCLA and the UC system. She provided details on application and enrollment statistics, the cost of running the university and its funding streams. Among other details, she told the delegation that UCLA is one of the most popular universities in the country and does well with federal grants because of the caliber of the faculty here. UCLA is about a $3 billion a year operation, half of which goes to running the medical sciences.
The Chinese visitors were interested in learning more about who makes decisions regarding department budgets and policies across the variety of fields of study and the libraries, and were told that it is the chancellor along with key faculty who ultimately make the final decisions.
Mongelli also shared with the delegation that the university is entering difficult times, and how the university is trying to best utilize its existing resources. Libraries, especially, are important assets to maintain, she said, but lack resources.
The visitors also wanted to know why the UC system is opening a 10th campus, considering its present financial difficulties. They were told that it is due to the significant population growth in the state and the subsequent need to accommodate more students.
After this meeting, Professor Chih-Ming Ho of the Department of Mechanical and Aerospace Engineering, who is also Associate Vice Chancellor for Research, hosted the visitors for lunch at the faculty center. Dr. Dave Wong, director of the Dental Research Institute, School of Dentistry, also jointed the group along with three professors from UCLA's Henry Samueli School of Engineering and Applied Science.
This visit was hosted by the UCLA International Visitors Bureau.
The visitors from NPU were Professor Ye Jinfu, chairman of the Board of Trustees; Professor Tang Hong, director, Office of International Cooperation; Associate Professor Yi Zhigao, deputy director, Office of Development and Planning; and Mr. Wei Tie, lecturer, who is secretary to Ye Jinfu.

Last week, Arizona passed legislation designed to enforce current federal laws that prohibit the unlawful crossing of U.S. borders. On the surface, some might think that's a good idea but underneath it all, the constitutional freedoms of all Americans could be in jeopardy.
The law requires that everyone has to show proof they are an American citizen and not an illegal immigrant, but only if they are questioned about any civil or criminal activity. Civil rights activists argue the new law will encourage racial profiling, which is illegal. The supporters of the bill say it will force President Barack Obama to keep his promise to solve the immigration dilemma that's been going on for years. Both sides have a valid argument. But this is not the first time Arizona has been accused of discrimination.
In 1986, the nation celebrated a day honoring Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. For the first time, Arizona, by executive order, signed by its governor, Bruce Babbitt, joined the celebration. One year later a newly elected governor, Evan Mecham, rescinded the order, stating it wasn't legal. Then the National Football League (NFL) got involved.
In 1990, the Superbowl Site Committee for the NFL met in Florida. Phoenix, Ariz. was considered the first choice to host the 1993 Superbowl. Also in 1990, Arizona residents voted against a ballot question authorizing the celebration of Martin Luther King Jr. Day. Then, the NFL, consisting of a majority of black players, boycotted Arizona. The state lost an estimated $350 million, was labeled as racist and, after all the falderal, finally voted for the holiday's approval in 1992, becoming the only state to officially vote for the federal holiday.
In 2006, a Federal Bureau of Investigations crime report indicated that property crime in Arizona had increased and seemed to be directly related to illegal immigration and poverty. The Mesa, Ariz. Police Department said illegal aliens were responsible for 80 percent of violent crime in the Phoenix area. Since then, Arizona's governor and U.S. Sen. John McCain have been fighting for federal legislation to protect Arizona's borders from illegal aliens. Their concerns fell on the sympathetic but deaf ears of both President George W. Bush and Obama, until now.
The government's policy of providing so-called cheap labor for business and industry by turning its head on illegal immigration is no longer applicable. Actually, it never was. It's time for the U.S. government to use the same military presence protecting our borders as it does protecting the borders of Germany, France, Japan, the United Kingdom, Iraq, Afghanistan and the rest of the world.
The United States has expanded its military presence to 150 nations and territories around the world. Its 325,000 service men and women stationed abroad represent more than half of the combined total overseas deployment of all the rest of the nations in the world.
The best statistics I can find indicate we still have more than 116,000 military personnel stationed in Europe, north Africa and parts of the Middle East. Our European presence increased after the demise of the Berlin Wall. There are 50,000 troops in Japan and 38,000 military personnel in south Korea.
In our effort to protect our borders from Taliban and al-Qaida Muslim terrorists, we have placed more than 120,000 troops in Iraq, Afghanistan and parts of Pakistan. Rather than violating our individual freedoms with racial profiling, we should bring some of these troops home to protect our own borders.
Illegal immigration is not an isolated problem. The Mexican drug cartels are taking over Arizona borders, murdering U.S. ranchers and anyone else standing in their way. Their drugs are found in most cities in America. So, Arizona didn't have much of a choice in passing this controversial legislation. As a matter of fact, they might have done a favor for all Americans. Now, Obama will have to do something about immigration.
Actually, we don't need many troops or a Berlin Wall to protect our Mexican-American borders. We use drones in Afghanistan that can miraculously see through solid concrete walls and kill innocent civilians while they are sleeping, claiming they are terrorists because they have a gun under their pillow. These same drones should be used, day or night, to identify illegal immigrants crossing our borders.
If the government succeeds in safeguarding the borders of Iraq and Afghanistan from terrorists by depleting our resources dealing with illegal immigration, drug trafficking and other crimes filtering across our own borders, maybe we should move the White House to Baghdad.

Freshman Orientation
Welcome to Sonoma State University!
Orientation is a mandatory two-day program for all new first-year students and will take place between June 4th-July 1st, 2014.

Students cannot register for classes until they attend Orientation.
Students who are admitted into EOP will attend a separate orientation session.
As stated above, Orientation is a two-day process and is mandatory for all students to spend the night on campus in the assigned room in a residence hall that they will receive when they arrive. If you have a special accommodation that we should be aware of, please contact the Orientation office at least a week prior to coming to Orientation at 707-664-4464 or firstname.lastname@example.com.

How to Sign Up for Orientation
View how to sign up with screen snaps.
Orientation Program Fees
Student: $255 (This fee is combined with the Enrollment Reservation Deposit which totals $455)
Orientation is a self-support program. Your Orientation fee covers all Orientation materials including but not limited to all advising materials, campus resource information, faculty advising, and meals. For more information regarding fees, please contact the Orientation and Family Programs Office at firstname.lastname@example.com.
Paying Orientation Fees
Fees for Summer Orientation cover the cost of staffing, parking, housing, refreshments and program materials. This $255 fee is combined with the Enrollment Reservation Deposit (ERD) and must be paid prior to signing up for Orientation.
Student Refund Policy: If you change your mind about attending Sonoma State University, you must notify the University in writing in order to receive a refund. The Enrollment Reservation Deposit (ERD) and Orientation Payment are 50% refundable if requested by May 1, 2014; non-refundable thereafter. E-mail your refund request to firstname.lastname@example.com. You are not eligible to receive a refund after attending Orientation, despite any change in your admission status.
Changing Your Major
You must attend an Orientation session based on your admitted major. If you are unaware of your admitted major, please see your admission letter. Students who wish to change their major to Undeclared can do so at Orientation. For students who wish to change their major to something other than Undeclared, you must wait until the Fall semester to make those changes. If you think there is an error in your admitted major, please contact Admissions & Records at (707) 664-2778.
Placement Exams
If applicable, EPT/ELM placement tests must be taken and scored BEFORE you can attend Orientation. Out of State students should consult the SSU Testing Office.
To find out if you need to take the EPT/ELM placement tests, please see your admission letter. It should say whether you need to take the test(s) or if you are exempt. The last date to take these tests and be sure that SSU receives your scores prior to your orientation session is May 4, 2013. This is important because without these test scores, you won't be able to sign up for a Math or English class.
The EPT/ELM placement tests can be taken at any California State University campus. Please remember that you need to register for these tests prior to showing up at a campus to take them. For test information, test dates, and test registration, please visit the SSU Testing Office.
Early Start Program
Early Start Program is a new enrollment requirement for some Fall 2014 First-time Freshmen that correlates with student's EPT/ELM test scores. These test scores determine whether a student is required to participate in the Early Start Program. For more information regarding the Early Start Program, please visit the Early Start Program website.
Services to Students with Disabilities
Please contact the Orientation Office at 707-664-4464 or email@example.com to request services from the Disabilities Services for Students (DSS) office for your time at Summer Orientation. We will get in touch with the DSS Office to make your accommodations available to you at Orientation. If you have already put your disability on your orientation reservation, you do not need to contact us as we will get in touch with you.
Scholarship/Recruited Athletes
All scholarship recruited athletes are required to participate in the mandatory orientation programs at Sonoma State University. You should receive additional information from the Athletics Department prior to attending Orientation.

EOP Students
EOP students should contact 707-664-2427 for information regarding the Summer Bridge Program.

Alcohol and Illegal Substance Policy: Leave any alcohol and illegal substances at home. Orientation is an alcohol and substance free program. Alcohol and/or illegal substances are not allowed during the orientation session or in the Residential Community. Use or possession of alcohol or illegal substances may lead to your dismissal from the summer orientation program, loss of housing for the 2014-2015 academic year, as well as further university sanctions.
No Leave Policy: Should you choose to leave campus or to miss some of the orientation program, you may lose your opportunity to register during your orientation session or your classes may be dropped.

- Overnight Bag - include both warm and cool weather clothes as Sonoma County weather calls for layers of clothes. Towels, bed linens, pillows, and toilet paper will be provided in the residential hall rooms.

- Comfortable shoes - we will be walking around campus throughout both days
- AP Test Scores (if you have them)

Summer Orientation FAQ's
Q: Do I have to attend Orientation?
A: YES. Orientation attendance is mandatory for all incoming first-year students. Orientation is the only advising available to new incoming students. Parents/siblings cannot attend Orientation in place of their student. It is important for each student to learn first-hand the information and expectations of Sonoma State University.
Q: How do I sign up for Orientation?
A: See instructions on how to sign-up for Orientation.
Q: Is there a disadvantage to not attending Orientation?
A: YES. Students who do not attend Orientation will not be allowed to register for classes. If you are unable to attend Orientation due to a hardship or family emergency, contact the Orientation Office at 707-664-4464 or firstname.lastname@example.com.
Q: What are my orientation fees paying for?
A: The fees to attend Orientation are paying for all the Orientation materials you receive, meals, parking, overnight housing, staffing, etc.
Q: Should my family and friends attend Orientation with me?
A: We invite you to bring your parent(s)/guardians as we have a Parent/Guardian Orientation program for them, which runs concurrently with Summer Orientation but the majority of the workshops/activities at Parent Orientation are run separately from the Summer Orientation (see agenda - link to Summer Orientation agenda). They will have an opportunity to ask questions, learn about campus services and academic requirements, and mingle with other first-year parents/guardians. We highly recommend that friends do not attend Orientation. If they do sign-up and come to Orientation they will participate in the Parent/Guardian Orientation and will not receive overnight housing. We encourage our incoming students to begin to make new friends at Orientation as these are the students they will live with, eat with, and go to class with in the Fall.

Q: Will I be able to leave Orientation early for a graduation, wedding, flight, etc.?

Whitehall softball coach Alexis Berg-Townsend is expecting her first child, a boy, in early July.
The last thing she needed this season was a team to give her problems and add stress.
Berg-Townsend said that these 2013 Zephyrs have been the perfect team for her because they've been supportive, caring, and, most important of all, drama-free.
Well, at least almost drama-free.
Whitehall, which began the season 1-4 and was considered an underachiever at 3-7 at the season's mid-point, has had a super second half with seven wins in eight games and a five-game winning streak entering Thursday's Lehigh Valley Conference finale against Parkland.
A once highly unlikely District 11 berth has become a reality.
"We have seven seniors and four of them have started since they were freshmen," Berg-Townsend said. "Had we not turned things around, it would have been disappointing. I know I wasn't ready for the seniors to be done, and they weren't ready for it either. No one wanted the season to end on May 11."
Berg-Townsend said that the team needed to do better within its own North Division, which proved to be the toughest in the LVC this spring.
The first time around, Whitehall was swept by its three divisional rivals and outscored 21-4.
The Zephs turned the tables on both Northampton and Nazareth, becoming the only team to defeat the Konkrete Kids with a 1-0 thriller last Thursday.
The district-clincher came on Tuesday when Whitehall whipped Nazareth 10-1, completely turning around a 15-3 defeat to the Blue Eagles on April 2.
"I am so happy for the kids," Berg-Townsend said. "They do work hard and now that hard work is being recognized. This is my sixth year and this is one of the most coachable and fun teams that I've been around. They work well with each other. There has been no drama. They know how to play and they have fun. It's great to see them put it all together."
And, the Zephs are well aware that they have a coach who's about to have a child in two months.
"They take care of each other, and they take care of me," Berg-Townsend said.
Berg-Townsend, by the way, has no plans to quit as coach because of the family addition.
"I'm going to keep going," she said. "I love coaching too much and I have family members who will help out."
She also will likely have a long line of baby-sitters lined up on her roster.
For advice on how to cope as a coach and a mother, Berg-Townsend has received considerable advice from Nazareth coach Michelle Schoeneberger. She has coached the Blue Eagles this season while still doting on seven-month-old son Lucas.
"Michelle and me have talked a lot," Berg-Townsend said. "She has been a great help."

In 1994, Congress responded to reports of widespread ignorance in the federal workforce concerning employees' right to be free from prohibited personnel practices (PPP), especially retaliation for whistleblowing, by enacting 5 U.S.C. §2302(c). That provision charges "[t]he head of each agency" with responsibility for "ensuring (in consultation with the Office of Special Counsel) that agency employees are informed of the rights and remedies available to them" under the prohibited personnel practice and whistleblower retaliation protection provisions of Title 5.
OSC's 2302(c) Certification Program allows federal agencies to meet the statutory obligation to inform their workforces about the rights and remedies available to them under the Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA) and related civil service laws. Under the 2302(c) Certification Program, OSC will certify an agency's compliance with 5 U.S.C. §2302(c) if the agency meets the following five requirements:

Austin >Bars & Clubs > Parmer Lane Tavern
2121 W Parmer Ln Ste 101, Austin, TX | Directions 7872730.416126 -97.697728
Best "At Home LONG HORNS Bar" in Austin – The owner put some bucks into this place recently - no more red dingy, dirty carpet - all new wood flooring, including the dance floor - if you are a Long Horn fan this is your place! The walls are bleeding Orange and the Horns are on the wall! The deck outside has benches and heaters when needed and smoking is allowed outside.
An APD visit stopped the sneaky inside smoking but you are only steps from the front door or the deck. The shuffle board is in excellent shape, the pool tables have been recovered (in ORANGE) and the Texas Hold'em Tourneys are alive and well. They also still have Black Jack!
The music is by DJ and they have free dance lessons on Monday night along with drink specials all week!!! Check them out on MySpace or FaceBook.
Six TV's help you keep up with any and every game that is on and when the Horns play be prepared to wear your Orange! When not watching the games, hook up for the Trivial Pursuit games with other bars via the TV.
Great bartenders day or night! Crowd goes from the working man around 2 to 4PM on to 30 somethings until 2:00 AM close.
Nope, I don't work there, I'm just a BIG fan! You should be too!
What are you looking for? – I love this place because I can get trashed, cross the street and be home. Other than that, its pretty cool. Its not exactly the nicest place ever and the bartender Brit is pretty cute. Overall I go there because its close and the bartenders know me but its cheaper to go anywhere else.
Where everybody knows your name..... – If you want to go to a place where they will remember you after about 5 visits, then go to the Parmer Lane Tavern (PLT for short). It is a classic bar: dark with the Budweiser rotunda rolling around in a ceiling fixture, cigarette machine in the corner (even though there is a ban on smoking in bars), and classic bar stools encircling a 180 degree bar (with Laurie tending bar most afternoons as one of the friendliest bartenders in Austin as well as a fun loving individual who has more toys than most men I know....). It is not called Austin's Adult Day Care Center for nothing! Where else can you get a Jell-O shot in a multitude of flavors, be a renegade a smoke a cigarette while using a Red-Bull can for an ash tray, and play pool, poker, or dance the night away. A real Texas treat where people are friendly and will remember you if you remember them. Don't go if you cannot handle a diverse, fun-loving crowd of real people...
The best real tavern in the area – The Parmer Lane Tavern is my favorite place to go. It is down to earth, the staff are nice and the drink prices aren't any worse than they would be anywhere else. The back patio is always open, rain or shine, hot or cold. The pool tables are reasonably priced, and best of all, it is quiet. You can actually hear yourself think and don't have to shout to have a conversation. If you're looking for a good watering hole with poker, pool, and friendly folks, it is a great place to go. Sure beats the club scene.
This is a great bar for a bunch of reasons, but the Texas Hold-em table is one of the best. OK so until our Texas government comes to it's senses you can't play for money, but here you can have a lot of fun playing and it doesn't cost you an arm and a leg. The professional dealers Wed thru Sat make it a fun upbeat game. Drink prices here are about the same as other bars and the wait staff has really improved with some recent new additions..
Weak – Very disappointing bartenders. Not good looking at all with attitiude. Drinks over-priced and clientel seem to be idiots. For pretty girls and service, go somewhere else. To avoid the dregs, go somewhere else.

Let TheBroot be your salvation. Bellacures nail spa owner Samira Asemanfar conceived the idea for a hair treatment bar (the first of its kind) after years of perfecting recipes in her own bathroom. Swing by the Santa Monica space and pick the formula that best addresses your needs (banana and eggs for strength; mayo, avocado, and honey for hydration) or customize your own. Your "Brootender" takes it from there, blending the fresh ingredients into a frothy concoction, applying it thoroughly from root to tip, and ushering you under a drier to enable deep penetration. Postshampoo, blow out your mane at the convenient vanity area or get it professionally braided (no extra charge). For best results, weekly visits are recommended. After all, idle locks are the devil's playground. TheBroot, 1626 Montana Avenue, at 17th Street, Santa Monica (310-230-5317 or thebroot.com). One treatment is $35. Photo: Courtesy of TheBroot

Das Racist is a trio based in Brooklyn, and Odd Future Wolf Gang Kill Them All is a ten-member collective from Los Angeles. Das Racist ("Das" is a slurred "That's," not the German article) is subtly and insistently political, and Odd Future is blatantly and insistently asocial, but both are hip-hop acts as unsettling as they are entertaining. You could call them hip-hop punks. But all the tools required to rattle people are already inside the genre; there just aren't that many rappers waving their box cutters around so freely.
Two of Das Racist's members, Ashok Kondabolu and Himanshu Suri, grew up in Queens; their parents were born in India. Victor Vazquez is of Afro-Cuban and Italian heritage, and grew up in the Bay Area. The three formed Das Racist in Brooklyn, in 2008, and have released two free mix tapes on the Internet: "Shut Up, Dude" and "Sit Down, Man." These titles are not just jokes—Das Racist is invested in targeting people and processes that its members don't support.
In "You Oughta Know," Vazquez raps that he is "sick of arguing with white dudes on the Internet." (Vazquez once wrote a post for a Web site called Flavorwire that made it clear that I am one of the white dudes he takes issue with.) The band's racial politics are not simple or simply confrontational. The minute-long interlude "Sit Down, People" is a slow drum loop laid under a sample of Quincy Jones saying, "Sit down, man," after which Kondabolu yells out the name of someone he'd like to hear less from. His list includes Robert Mugabe, Carlos Mencia, Rand Paul, LL Cool J, Benjamin Netanyahu, and Chris Brown. Though Das Racist is often explicit about its objections, you'll have to guess what each target in this catholic selection did to get on the blacklist.
In "Fake Patois," the group is more direct, going after the weirdly common practice in pop performance of adopting a Jamaican accent. Jim Carrey and the forgotten Canadian rapper Snow are called out, but so are musicians of color, such as Jay-Z and the D.C. punk group Bad Brains. Das Racist could easily have stuck with the white guys to make its point, but the band is refreshingly unconcerned with joining the hip-hop establishment. The act is consistent only in its determination to let nobody off the hook.
In fact, the band's best-known song, its 2008 début, "Combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell," is the kind of thing Das Racist might make fun of. Over a simple, unadorned laptop beat, Vazquez calls out, "I'm at the Pizza Hut, I'm at the Taco Bell—I'm at the combination Pizza Hut and Taco Bell." Suri answers back with the same words. This goes on, unchanged, for a long time. Eventually, it emerges that Suri and Vazquez can't find each other and may be at different Pizza Hut / Taco Bell franchises. It is not hard to imagine a bunch of wobbly college kids yelling along.
This kind of dumb fun is an appropriate supplement to what Das Racist describes as its "deconstructionalist" approach. If the band members want you to think about the ways that skin color can affect consciousness, they also don't mind if you go ahead and party. They rap over a variety of tracks, mostly made by producers outside the group, and the music is rarely difficult or abrasive.
Though Das Racist makes no attempt to latch on to currently fashionable styles, such as juke or dubstep, several of the group's songs are accessible enough to be hits. The brisk and bassy "Coochie Dip City" could be a club success, even with its mentions of "Finnegans Wake." "I feel odd when girls jump onstage to dance with us," Suri said in an interview, "because I'm mostly rapping about my skin color making me feel strange." When possible, the band foregrounds this tension. In "Sit Down, Man," Vazquez raps, "White people, play this for your black friends / Black people—smack them." Everyone's allowed into this party, but nobody is guaranteed immunity from an egging.
Egging people is pretty much the whole point of Odd Future. Members of this loose collective have released eight separate albums for free on the Internet this year, and routinely post YouTube videos that capture whatever extreme activity they're up to. The video for "Earl" seems to document the rappers grinding up a load of drugs and alcohol in a blender, drinking the result, and then stumbling around while bleeding from the mouth.
The Odd Future sound is hostile to dancing or to easy pleasure. Though the collective comprises ten different rappers, they all seem to agree enthusiastically on the power of disorientation. Beats tend to drag, and synthesizers wander around the vocals, which are sometimes mixed beneath a sprawl of noise. The disorientation extends to the lyrics—two popular topics are taking drugs and raping women. But on the title track of the album "Bastard" the rapper known as Tyler, the Creator, just eighteen, goes into an emotional purge, hurling vitriol at his absent father. "I hope the majors heard this. Fuck a deal—I just want my father's e-mail, just so I could tell him how much I fucking hate him in detail." There is no drumbeat, and Tyler's voice fights the music around him. It is oddly complex music, both fierce and defeated, driven by a loathing that has no limits.
