Elkins and Fairmont Senior are at polar opposite ends of the high school football spectrum this season, and it was all Polar Bears Friday night as they rolled to a 48-13 victory to spoil Senior Night for still winless Elkins.
Fairmont, 4-0 and ranked atop the Class AA standings heading into the game, scored on the second play of the game when Austin Norman found Neil Scherich 47 yards downfield for a touchdown pass, the first of two Norman would toss in the opening half.
Norman would throw for 235 yards in the first half, completing 15 of 19 passes to six different receivers.

Elkins High's Garrett Riggleman attempts to find some running room against Fairmont Senior Friday night at Wimer Field.
Scherich used his feet a few minutes later to add to the Polar Bears' lead, reaching the end zone untouched from four yards out.
Noah Harmon broke several tackles over the course of a 13-yard run, which culminated in another Fairmont score in the first quarter. Harmon played only the first half, but still managed to run for 130 yards on just 11 carries, mostly breaking tackle after tackle on runs between the tackles.
"Man, what a football player," Elkins coach Greg Hott said of the Fairmont runner. "He's not very big, but he's got a big heart."
Fairmont continued to rack up the points in the second quarter, again scoring three times. Luke Hrapchak pulled down a 16-yard pass from Norman. He led all Fairmont receivers with five catches for 99 yards.
A few seconds later, Fairmont defensive lineman Vincent Delligatti scooped up a fumbled football and found pay dirt. Ryder Skarzinski added

The Garden State Beard & Mustache Society held their second annual "Beard & Stache Competition" at Asbury Lanes on Jan. 26. The event attracts mustache and beard enthusiasts from throughout New Jersey as well as many from neighboring states, with some coming from as far as Virginia and Florida.
Competitors can enter a variety of categories such as "Styled Mustache" and "Full Beard Natural" and are scored on the overall presentation of their facial hair by a panel of judges. "Competition is part of it, but it's really just a lot of friends hanging out," said Nick Ackermann of Rutherford, who finished first in the "Styled Mustache" category. "There are some lighthearted rivalries, but for the most part nobody cares if they win or lose. We're just having a good time."
The event benefited The Jersey Animal Coalition, a not-for-profit, all-volunteer coalition that provides for homeless dogs and cats.

President Barack Obama won Ohio's 18 electoral votes on Tuesday, defeating Republican Mitt Romney.
In the 2008 presidential election, the state voted for Barack Obama, and since the 1990s, has voted for the overall winner of the presidential race every time.
Romney and Obama campaigned aggressively in Ohio. The state has typically been a battleground state in recent presidential elections.
The economy was a key issue for many voters in the state, as was healthcare.

fact is that the people did not believe that Romney would have delivered any of that. This country is coming out of the recession thanks to the positive policies put forth by this administration. They are creating jobs and people will have comprehensive healthcare. LEave if you don't like it but dont obstruct it!
Dave November 07, 2012 at 12:29 PM
I don't believe that either of these guys deserve to lead this country, nor do I really think it would matter who won the election. I voted for Richard Duncan, a candidate from Aurora, because I cannot support either major candidate. But, as I sit here this morning, I believe that my family is better off with Obama as President. As to all your questions, months of campaigning couldn't get them answered, so the answers are not going to come from this conversation. I will address some of them, giving my opinion, not what I believe either candidate would/could do. The rise in insurance premiums has been going on for years, and until someone takes on the insurance industry to revise the system, nothing will change. Obamacare did nothing to address this which was my disappointment with healthcare reform. I do not consider Obamacare as Nationalized Healthcare because I can still have my current health insurance plan, I can go to my same doctor, and I do not have to get on a list to receive a procedure or have care rationed. In the end all these things may happen, either from the health care delivery system, the government, or the insurance industry, but I do not forsee this happening. I am a small business owner, but I am small enough (e.g., less than 50 employees) that I do not fall under the Obamacare requirements. If I was in that situation, I would consider having to reduce staff or curtail expansion to pay for those costs. It will be interesting to see what the imapct is.

I believe the most transformative dynamic of the Affordable Healthcare Act has yet to be mentioned by either party. Nial Ferguson proffered the theory in his book "The History of Money" that now that our Industrial period is over, Americans have to return to the entrepreneurial environment of the past to compete in a global marketplace. I agree with that theory but add that Americans must have the economic means to do so. The AHA provides for state exchanges where Americans can go to buy into health insurance at group rates. How many of you know people who work at dead end jobs solely for the health insurance? I believe the ADA will offer Americans an independence to chase their entrepreneurial dreams at exactly the right time in American history.
Dave November 07, 2012 at 01:07 PM
A friend and I were just talking last week about how people are going to go back to working for themselves as in the days of the farmer, blacksmith, general store, etc. Except the businesses will be those needed for the 21st century and will be on a national/global scale rather than the scale of a village. Entrepreneurs are the way of the future. Although this does not mean the death of the global corporations/banks. Good point about the health exchanges. Access to adequate health insurance will be important since the village doctor is not coming back. I think everyone is scared of the unknown on how these will work, so they get rejected. It also is not easy when you have a number of the states saying they will not participate or are dragging their feet in getting the plans filed. No wonder everyone is against them.
Murphy-Solon November 07, 2012 at 01:19 PM
Good points Dave, when the Industrial period began Americans moved to the cities and generations became used to a weekly paycheck. Now high tech manufacturing requires fewer workers. It used to be that pensions shackled workers to their employers. Now it's health care insurance that inhibits American ingenuity. Why would an insurance company offer an individual policy to a 50 year old? They couldn't charge that 50 year old enough in premiums to cover what it will ultimately cost them. If longevity requires us to work longer, then we need 21st century tools to deal with this new world. When ADA moves from theory to action in 2014, I believe the American people will embrace it. Recalcitrant Republican legislatures will quietly acquiesce.
Joseph Robert November 07, 2012 at 02:14 PM
CONGRATULATIONS to all of the millions of smart Ohio residents who voted for Obama-Biden!!!! We did it!!!!! We crushed extremism, racism, voter suppression, anonymous money, hatred of minorities -- with sound ideas, moderation and truth! Paul Ryan and Mitt Romney can now go shopping for new shirts at COSTCO, and Mitt can work on his car elevator in La Jolla. LMAO. Yippee! Hopefully the country can now coalesce around OBAMA-BIDEN, and not work (like Sen. McConnell had done) mostly for the benefit of one party or another!!! Hoorah!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hoorah!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! We WON BIG-TIME!!!!!!!!!!!!!! U - S - A!! U-S-A!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jack Kelly November 07, 2012 at 03:08 PM
Typical uneducated, whiny response from an uneducated Republican (Lincoln66). Love to ignore facts and try to rewrite history. There is actually a plan by BHO. You'd have to actually read it (that is IF you can read). The modern-day Republican Party has just been rendered irrelevant. And THEY brought it on themselves. Unless you run to the likes of what Rush, Hannity, Beck et al tell you for "comfort." The Republican Party paid DEARLY for kissing the backside of the Teabaggers and running nutjobs for Senate seats this time around (like Akin & Mourdock). And many of those freshman 'baggers got kicked to the curb. Michelle Bachmann BARELY got re-elected, and she was one of riders in the Republican Clown Car running for President (although I believe it goes to an automatic recount because it was so close). Contrary to what bitter-old-man and racist Mitch McConnell (whose days are numbered anyway) said after BHO won last night, it is now up to the GOP to reach out -- NOT the other way around. The Republican Party is nothing but smoldering ashes right now. They now have another 4 years to get their act together. Or, if they continue down this road of being obstructionists and pandering to the extreme loons, they're going to be in the same position in 2016 as they were today and in 2008. Losers!
Murphy-Solon November 07, 2012 at 03:16 PM
Though a little more colorful than is necessary in victory Jack Kelly, I think your analysis is spot on. John Boehner and the established Republicans should use this historical loss to reign in Eric Cantor and the Tea Party Caucus. The changing demographics in this country demand a Republican reassessment.
Jack Kelly November 07, 2012 at 03:34 PM
I have always been colorful and outspoken, but save your PC-ness. The Tea Party is irrelevant. Joe "Deadbeat Dad" Walsh, Allen West and a few other 'baggers were voted out after only one term. Boehner & Cantor don't have a choice. Their platform of "Whatever BHO is for, we're against" will no longer work. The GOP can spin this anyway they want, but the fact is, they got spanked -- especially in the Senate. They lost 2 seats by running loons (Akin & Mourdock). The action (drama) to watch will be the Senate because there are rumblings within the GOP that they want to see Mitch McConnell seriously challenged in '14. Don't be surprised to see some Senate GOP members try to go around McConnell (like the House GOP was doing to Boehner before). I expect to see some GOP members to start pushing back against the loons & loudmouths of Rush & Hannity & the likes -- along with some at Fox News Channel -- since the party is in ashes. The GOP has no identity and no "leader." The GOP needs to take Laura Ingraham's advice from a couple of months ago since they lost. And that's to shut the party down and rebuild it.
R Carr November 07, 2012 at 03:41 PM
Interesting how short the memory can be. It really didn't take long for the for folks to forget 911 and the realization of American vulnerablilty, our anger, and our resolve to set things right. At the time George Bush stood before a galvanized congress and populace and said, this act would not stand, and we will hunt the terrorists down. At the time I thought, "I don't think the country has the heart for it," because generally people haven't the heart to do hard and dangerous things to sacrifice themselves until the task is done. When push comes to shove we will choose personal short term comfort over long term goals for all. Consequently, we went after the terroists and the countries that harbor them, which was and is quite expensive. Back in the day, I learned in basic economics that you can't have both guns and butter. We are in this mess because Americans have not supported the ideal Bush declared and to which we signed on. This isn't Bush's fault, its ours. We don't have the heart to be a great nation for we haven't the resolve to sacrifice for others. We are not as committed to OUR causes as we are to our personal happiness. There have been two maybe three wars that we've aproached appropriately, and in each case men,women and children freely gave of themselves for the cause. So, when it's said and done, sacrifice either willing or unwilling will rule the day as the issues are not who won the election, but does this country have the heart to be free.
Murphy-Solon November 07, 2012 at 03:42 PM
Look Jack, I understand where your passion comes from. I too have had a big problem with the extremes we've seen on the right. The worst thing the Dems in Washington can do at this time is to spike the football. Politicians receive their marching orders from their districts. If the Dems fuel the fire, Cantor and the Tea Party will be strengthened in their power struggle with Boehner and his faction. Letting the Republicans fight it out amongst themselves is not being PC as you put it. It's just smart strategy,
Keith Best November 07, 2012 at 10:31 PM
What were the people of Ohio thinking? I've worked hard to live the American Dream. For 40 years I have tried to remain self-sufficient and live a good life. Am I a chump and a sucker for doing it this way? Should I have been a moocher? It looks like a lot of America has become a nation of moochers. Romney was right about the 47%. Well, I give up....I want an Obamaphone.
Keith Best November 07, 2012 at 10:32 PM
While in the meantime the Democrats are embracing Communism.
jay smith November 07, 2012 at 11:43 PM
Ya, we think it is funnier than he!! he was re-elected with all those plans he laid out for his second term. Oh....... what plans? Maybe some of you libs can enlighten us? Are they the same plans that put double the amount of Americans on food stamps in the last 4 years?
Amo Probus November 08, 2012 at 12:34 AM
I feel sorry for Obama. He inherited a greater mess this time than the one Bush left behind! Who will he blame this time?
Joyce Wells November 08, 2012 at 03:46 AM
Your tax dollars?? Don't you mean China's money? When will people wake up and see what is going on? You care so deeply about taking care of people, but who, may I ask, is paying for this? The fact is that it is not any of the people working today. We are so in debt that we are ruining the future of all of our children. Blaming Bush is not changing the fact that Obama has had plenty of opportunities to improve things. I am worried about the future, and apparently none of the people who voted for Obama can see past the moment. I am no rich ultra conservative, just a person with common sense who understands that enough is enough!
Joyce Wells November 08, 2012 at 03:51 AM
Just because someone disagrees with someone does not make them a hater. I am not ever going to be silent. Let's see what Obama does with HIS economy now? Or, will it be forever Bush's? A true leader is someone who steps up and takes responsibility which is something I have NEVER seen from Obama.
Joyce Wells November 08, 2012 at 03:59 AM
The joke is that Obama was re-elected with the pitiful way he has governed. You call other people a joke? You are a sanctimonious, self-important bigot. Anyone that disagrees with your ideas MUST be prejudiced. Really, those kind of arguments should be left for children. Kool-Aid anyone? Oh, that's right you have already drank it all.
Keith Best November 08, 2012 at 11:55 AM
The headlines should be screaming "Millions of Americans duped again". Axelrod and the Chicago gang ran one of the sleaziest campaigns ever defining Romney as something he was not. What is the definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over again and expecting a different result. Sadly, we will get more of the same from a president who was in over his head from day one. The Obamabots swallowed their lies, hook, line and sinker.
Joyce Wells November 08, 2012 at 10:32 PM
Exactly, Keith. That Albert Einstein quote is right on the money. What money is that? Oh, you know, the money we keep borrowing from China. The money that people expect to buy them things that they are "entitled to." What happened to a strong work ethic and working for what you want and need. The founding fathers didn't even want non-landowners to have the vote. I used to question that and being a female, the fact that women have had the right to vote for less than 100 years was a concern of mine. Yet, when the people who "have not" now outnumber the people that "have", keeping in mind that we only "have" because we have worked for it, there seem to be numerous problems which are completely compounded by the fact that this is an entitlement society. I have been on food stamps and had a medical card for roughly one year and trust me, I NEVER want to go back to that. People need help from time to time, but when it becomes a way of life, we see the end of America as we know it.

January 2011—MARQCAT, the campus online catalog, now offers some new features. To distinguish the enhanced catalog from the traditional
(since 1990) catalog, it is now dubbed MARQCATplus. The enhancements include new content in the collections included in searches, as well as the
powerful keyword interface, which was first unveiled in September 2009.
MARQCATplus is now the default in the "Find Resources" tab, offering a powerful keyword search. This Google-style search facilitates locating hard-to-find items contained in tables of contents, notes, and more. While search results may be numerous, options for narrowing ("facets") are readily available in the left and right margins. The search box's dropdown menu offers options for more targeted searches, such as author, title, subject, journal title, etc.
*New! Journal articles. Now articles matching the search words are displayed as "Top Results for Articles" on the search results page. Articles are drawn from ProQuest Research Library and Ebsco's Academic Search Complete, two of the Libraries' largest interdisciplinary fulltext databases. To select specific databases or perform more precise searches, use the "Articles" or "Databases" tabs in the blue "Find Resources" box on the Libraries' home page. The following graphic illustrates results for the keyword search "Afghanistan womens rights." Moving the cursor over the citation displays an abstract, if available. Depending on the search words, results may range from dozens to thousands of articles.
*Main collection: books, media, journal holdings.
*e-Archives: tens of thousands of digitized items in Marquette's Special Collections and Archives are now retrievable using MARQCATplus.
*e-Publications@Marquette: papers, reports, dissertations, and other documents by Marquette authors. (Note: coming soon.)
Have a question about using MARQCATplus and MARQCAT? Ask a Librarian or call the Information Desk in Raynor at 414-288-7556.

Local Purim celebration recalls Jewish history
By Romi Herron For The Courier-News February 27, 2013 10:20AM

Updated: April 1, 2013 7:34AM
In keeping with Jewish tradition, Rabbi Mendel Shemtov read aloud the Book of Esther at Chabad of Elgin and Hoffman Estates on Sunday, where more than 40 adults and children gathered to celebrate Purim at Chabad Jewish Center.
The occasion, pronounced poo-reem, centers on the biblical story of Esther and her cousin Mordecai who are credited with saving the king's life when Haman set out to kill him. As Shemtov read the story in Hebrew, the group interacted with the narrative by rattling noisemakers each time the evildoer's name came up.
"Whenever we hear Haman's name, we blot out his name by turning the noisemaker," said guest Earl Sternfeld of Schaumburg.
In short, he explained, the biblical story unfolds with Haman and his servants plotting to kill the king, the ruler of 127 Persian provinces. In the end, the Jews unite and kill 75,000 of those who had been targeting them — and their king. To honor their victory, the holiday Purim was born.
"Esther and Mordecai said this is something we should keep throughout the ages," Sternfeld said, describing the four customs associated with the holiday. "Give charity to the poor, read the Megillat (the Book of Esther), bring two prepared foods to another person, and also have a Purim."
Enjoying the feast after the reading, Evelyn Harris of Huntley said she studies those and other stories at the Chabad's Tuesday night classes. She described the rabbi and his wife, Shterna Sara Shemtov, as "extremely gracious and hospitable," and said she looks forward to celebrating holy days at Chabad.
Harris said she admires Shterna Sara's role at the Chabad, as she cooks the kosher celebratory meals herself and extends her hospitality to all who enter.
"That's very traditional in Jewish culture," Harris said.
For Sunday's event, Shterna Sara prepared 12 home cooked dishes. Also offered were the Jewish pastry hamantaschen, shaped like a three-cornered hat and filled with chocolate or jelly.
Sternfeld said the treat symbolizes the hats worn by Haman and his men.
Kevin Pollack of Buffalo Grove has attended other holy day events at Chabad of Hoffman Estates but was unable to take part in Sunday's Purim event. He said he holds fond memories of baking the hamantaschen with his grandmother and added that he experienced an outpouring of compassion at Chabad when he visited with his cousins and grandfather.
"In Hebrew school, I used to come up with the ideas for Purim parties. Purim is a big party," said Pollack. "It's a celebration. I always thought of it as the one time of year when people looked forward to coming. We had games and noisemakers everywhere."
As part of the occasion, The Magic of Mike DiDomenico featured card tricks, fire breathing and sleight-of-hand illusions.
More information about Chabad Jewish Center, at 30W509 Shoe Factory Road, Elgin, is available at the organization's website, www.elginchabad.com.

Aside from being utilized to help promote Brock Lesnar, who works a limited schedule, there does not appear to be much of a story line for Paul Heyman backstage. After being split apart from Curtis Axel and Ryback, management hasn't shown an interest in adding new guys for the former ECW owner to work with.
Ryback is now notorious for being a person that routinely deletes his posts on Twitter, as the WWE star has done so again after some peculiar messages were published on the social media website last night. He added some new posts on Sunday afternoon.
"A guy like Brock Lesnar, I believe we are very similar breeds as far as style and intensity. I think if you tagged us together, that's an unstoppable force that would never be beaten."
As another sign of how he has been dropped down the card in WWE, Ryback is now being utilized to put over Sin Cara at live events. The two opened up the show in Greensboro this week.
It has been two weeks now since Ryback deleted all of his posts on Twitter, and it appears that the WWE star has opted to completely avoid the social media website. Ryback has had issues with management before over Twitter.
"People will say Ryback - 'What would Warrior have been like with Ryback?' Or Goldberg. I know why they say those things - because of the intensity and body look, the aggression, the power. Those kind of matches tend to be f**king stinkers, you know? You want to work with somebody who's got a different style. Wrestling is more than just being big."
WWE has instructed Ryback to do moves associated with Goldberg, in order to tease a potential match between the two.
"I call dibs on GTS, Pepsi Plunge and running knee in corner. I am sure Sheamus will take the rest."
- Ryback mocking the departure of CM Punk from WWE
A shocking heel turn took place in WWE at the Smackdown taping tonight. Titus ONeil turned on his Prime Time Player teammate Darren Young during a match against Curtis Axel and Ryback. ONeil turned heel and vicious assaulted Young after proclaiming that he was tired of losing all the time.
Batista won Royal Rumble 2014 by eliminating Roman Reigns in the end. Other contestants during the match were Alberto Del Rio, Alexander Rusev, Antonio Cesaro, Big E Langston, CM Punk, Cody Rhodes, Damien Sandow, Dean Ambrose, Dolph Ziggler, El Torito, Erick Rowan, Fandango, Goldust, Great Khali, Jack Swagger, JBL, Jey Uso, Jimmy Uso, Kane, Kevin Nash, Kofi Kingston, Luke Harper, R Truth, Rey Mysterio, Ryback, Seth Rollins, Sheamus and the Miz.
"And I really wish Edge were still here. It killed me when I was out injured and he ended up having that final match with Alberto Del Rio. He was there while I was with the Nexus and he was just such a joy to be around. He's a good human being and just knew so much. He was always helping. Its guys like that that I wish were around still."
- Ryback on the retirement of Edge
Since a working relationship with the Ultimate Warrior has been reestablished, there are talks that WWE is trying to put him into a quick match at Wrestlemania 30. An opponent that has been discussed is none other than Ryback, a performer who has been in the dog house with management for quite a few months now.

It used to be you could pretty much determine someone's age by what he or she was wearing. Not anymore.
I blame cargo shorts.
Cargo shorts bridged the fashion gap between generations a while back, and since then the lines of demarcation have been steadily eroding.
There was a time when the young dressed trendy, the middle-aged claimed conformity, seniors occupied the land of matching fuddy-duddy.
This is no longer the case.
The good news is everyone now has a lot more options when it comes to attire. I should mention that this is also the bad news.
Where do baby boomers fit in? Given that boomer hood encompasses an 18-year span (1946-1964), this depends to some degree on where you fall on the time line.
If you are a leading-edge, child of the '60s, baby boomer and are still wearing bell bottoms and tie dye, well, you just keep on keeping on.
If, on the other hand, you sold out to the man somewhere along the way and adopted the conventional garb of the bourgeois, the most important fashion advice that can be offered you at this stage of life is this:
No matter how popular they may become, no matter how much off the original price they may one day be selling for at TJ Maxx, do not, under any circumstances, buy stretchy, skinny jeans. Mature men in such jeans conjure up images of a sausage that has been recklessly overstuffed and is about to explode. As for women who may be so tempted, it might be well to remember there are some obstacles even SPANX cannot overcome.
Turning to the other end of the spectrum, the late-40-ish boomer demographic, this is a group that still harbors illusions of hipness, and thus can be influenced by what their children are wearing. You do not want to go there.
The latest trend among 20-something men is to wear suit jackets and pants that look like they might have been too small when purchased and have since been machine washed and left in the dryer too long. As stupid as your kid looks in this attire will not even scratch the surface of what you will look like.
Finally, it is not uncommon for women boomers in this age bracket to take fashion cues from their daughters. There is no way to sugarcoat this: If you and your daughter are wearing the same thing, one of you has a problem.

Rated 4 out of 5 by Kathy11 Beautiful Sweater I love this Tory Sweater. The big cuffs and longer sleeves are so fashionable and great. One warning, I got a medium (usually I would take a small) and it is tiny! I fit into the medium but there is not a lot of room! But it does fit and I am happy I purchased it. Wish I had bought 2! April 16, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Daisy57 Beautiful Cardigan I love cardigans because I am always cold in my office and in restaurants. As always, this one is perfect! Lightweight and beautifully made with extremely nice material, and the buttons are so pretty. I have five of these cardigans, and just purchased the navy blue. I always wear a size Small, but this time I chose the Medium, just to have a cardigan with a little extra room, not quite so fitted. Works perfect, as I was afraid it might look to big, but it doesn't. Another great Tory purchase to add to my wardrobe. April 14, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Raimie Outstanding, so flattering. Since the sweater was described as "shrunken," I was unsure if I should size up since I have a larger chest and am tall. However, after consulting with a Tory customer service rep, I went with my normal size and am so glad I did. The fit is perfect, the cut super flattering. I've worn it buttoned up with nothing underneath and also open over an oxford. It makes me look very slim. The gold buttons with the Tory T's add a special touch. I would order in more colors if they were available! April 8, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Deborah An extremely versatile cardigan This is my second, but not my last, Shrunken Simone Cardigan. I probably will end up buying a petite next time though...as I am 5'4" tall, 118 pounds, and even a small is quite long in the sleeves and a bit on the long side, even though it is "shrunken". I have one in wool and this new one is cotton. I think that the wool version looks a bit finer in terms of construction. The wool and cotton Simone cardigans have year round wearability - at least in Southern California! April 7, 2014
Rated 4 out of 5 by Tieg Cute Everyday Sweater This is a cute, lightweight sweater that I could wear everyday. It looks identical to its non-cotton counterpart (I bought them both) and just as classy too. The buttons on the front are rather small, but tasteful and elegant. Passersby wouldn't know you're wearing a Tory sweater unless they came pretty close. The sweater looks a lot longed in the picture than it actually is - I think because the model they're using is 6 feet tall with a super long torso, but the sweater still only hits around my hip bones. Nonetheless, a great addition to my wardrobe! April 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Bet08 Love it love it !! Love the sweater it looks sophisticated, chic and fits my body well . I'm 5'4 and I weigh 118 lbs and the small fits so well not too snug and not too big it just flatters my body well. Makes me want to try out Tory's other items April 5, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by Molski83 Classy cardigan I absolutely love this cardigan. It can be worn with dresses for a polished look or jeans for a more casual style. I usually wear a size 6 or medium in TB, and the medium cardigan works perfectly for me. I would definitely recommend this. April 3, 2014
Rated 5 out of 5 by OANYC Loved it I've always waned this sweater and finally bought it during the sale. It's a nice, classy sweater and I absolutely love it. April 3, 2014

As parents of a murdered child, our hearts go out to the families of the children and adults that were killed in the tragedy that occurred in Connecticut. Although we will never forget our son Todd, who was murdered while working for the railroad on June 7, 1981, he will always live in the heart of my wife, Hilda and myself. Only time will heal some of the grief, and there is hardly a day goes by that we don't think of him ... only love for our fellows, friends and neighbors helps us to go on with our lives.
Only my higher power, which I choose as God, knows the date of your passing. Todd's day was: 6/7/81 which adds up to "22" his age of passing. God bless to everyone, and to everyone, Merry Christmas.

India start title defence with 25 run victory
Yuvraj Singh dazzled with the bat before Pragyan Ojha spun a web around Bangladesh as India thumped the minnows by 25 runs to begin their title defence with a bang in the Twenty20 World Cup.
Ojha's four-wicket haul in his maiden Twenty20 International broke Bangladesh's back as the minnows finished at 155 for eight, a total they owe to Junaid Siddique (41) and Naeem Islam (28).
Earlier, Gautam Gambhir (50) and Rohit Sharma (36) gave India a rollicking start but it was Yuvraj's violent 18-ball 41 that propelled them to 180 for five in the Group A opener.
Chasing 181, Bangladesh began on a positive note with Tamim Iqbal (15) hitting Zaheer Khan for two successive fours and Junaid (41 off 22 balls) pulling Irfan Pathan for a six.
M S Dhoni introduced Yusuf Pathan and it paid off as the duo collaborated to get Tamim stumped in the third over.
Junaid looked unperturbed as he scored at a brisk rate, hitting sixes off the Pathan brothers -- Yusuf and Irfan -- and Harbhajan Singh.
Unfortunately, wickets kept tumbling at the other end. Mohammad Ashraful (11) fell to Ishant Sharma and then Pragyan Ojha struck twice in his first over to unhinge Bangladesh.
Shakib Al Hasan (8) top edged Ojha's first delivery to Dhoni and then Junaid holed out in the deep as Bangladesh slumped to 77 for four.

I LOVE chicken & dumplings so when I found this I added my own spin to it and lowered the fat and calories. This is the best chicken and dumplings I've ever had which is amazing since I'm never satisfied with my cooking! You can have a full cup of this hearty comfort food for only 284 calories and 3.8 grams of fat! The sodium could be reduced if homemade biscuits are used instead of the canned biscuits, but if sodium isn't a problem this is a very fast and easy way to make chicken & dumplings!

Dementia and Financial Decision Making
The impact of a memory disease diagnosis on a couple's finances depends on how actively the couple controls their retirement accounts. Couples who manage their own retirement accounts are 2.4 times more likely to change the spouse in charge of handling their finances when a medical diagnosis of cognitive impairment is given. This is the finding of Federal Reserve economist Joanne Hsu and University of Michigan professor Robert Willis.
A reason for this is that couples who control their investment choices are potentially more exposed to poor financial decisions. As such, they face greater benefits and are more likely to make a change in reaction to an increased awareness of cognitive impairment.
However, the study's authors found that the probability of switching the financial respondent is less dependent on the financial decision-maker being "cognitively impaired but not demented" (CIND) then it is on the probability of reporting problems with managing money. The decision to turn over finances to one's spouse often occurs after people develop difficulties managing money. Hsu and Willis based these conclusions on data included in the ongoing Health and Retirement Study (HRS) and on supplementary data included in the Aging, Demographics, and Memory Study (ADAMS).

Welcome to the Centre for Strategic Studies
The Centre for Strategic Studies is the New Zealand anchor for research, teaching and public dialogue on strategic and security issues. We're proud to announce that the 2013 Global Go To Think Tank Index Report, produced by the International Relations Program of the University of Pennsylvania, ranks CSS second among think tanks in Asia and the Pacific. We've also been designated as the 31st best university-affiliated think tank worldwide. More than 6800 think tanks are listed in the index and thousands of international scholars, policymakers, journalists, government officials, donors and think tank executives provide peer and expert review to the rankings.
The Centre has four main streams of activity:
- The academic programme through the Master of Strategic Studies
- The research programme, the fruits of which are seen in Centre publications on this site
- The professional development programme for government stakeholders
- Maintenance and development of international relationships, especially through the Council for Security Cooperation in the Asia-Pacific for which the Centre is the New Zealand focal point.
Recent Events:
Kippenberger Chair 2014 attachment completed: Professor Rosemary Foot's attachment to the Centre as the 2014 Sir Howard Kippenberger Chair in Strategic Studies finished in style with an address to a large audience at the NZ Institute of International Affairs on the topic of 'The Responsibility to Protect and its Evolution as a Global Norm'. In her ten weeks as a guest of the Centre, Professor Foot (from St Antony's College, Oxford) spoke to groups from Auckland to Dunedin in formal lectures, roundtable discussions, media appearances and classroom lectures with audiences ranging from the general public and students, through government officials and members of Wellington's diplomatic community. Her material ranged widely over issues of current relevance to Asia-Pacific security, including discussions of the drivers and moderators of possible conflict in the region, relations between regional powers, including China and the US, and the region's ever growing institutionalisation. A CSS Discussion Paper based on her formal Kippenberger lecture: 'Constraints on Conflict in the Asia-Pacific: Balancing the War Ledger in the 21st Century' will be published soon.
Roundtable hosted by Asia New Zealand Foundation: Dr Jim Rolfe, Director of CSS and Paul Sinclair, Regional Security Fellow, took part in a roundtable hosted by the Asia New Zealand Foundation, with Professor Nick Bisley, Executive Director of La Trobe Asia at La Trobe University in Melbourne. Professor Bisley provided an analysis of Australian foreign policy under Prime Minister Abbott. The subsequent discussion focussed on Australia's policy towards Asia, the indo-Pacific concept, Australia's approach to free trade agreements and Australia's role on the United Nations Security Council.
Roundtable with Team Managing Asia Pacific Country Risk for J.P. Morgan: Dr Jim Rolfe, Director of CSS and Paul Sinclair, Regional Security Fellow, met the team managing Asia Pacific country risk for J.P. Morgan on 27 March. The Wellington visit and range of meetings with government and private sector agencies and think tanks, is part of J.P. Morgan's annual country rating process. Subjects discussed at our meeting focussed on geo-political risks in the Asia/Pacific region including tensions in the East and South China seas, trans-national crime, the changing regional power balance and its implications, the likely increase in illegal foreign fishing encroachments in the South Pacific EEZ's and in the Southern ocean as fishing stocks are depleted elsewhere, and the impact of climate change.
Workshop on Track Two Diplomacy and Transfer: CSS Director of Research, David Capie, gave a paper on "Track two diplomacy and transfer in Southeast Asia" at a workshop on Track Two Diplomacy and Transfer held at the Hoover Institution at Stanford University, 20-21 March 2014. The workshop explored how track two diplomacy contributes to conflict resolution and security cooperation, with cases including Northern Ireland, Israel-Palestine, US-Soviet relations during the Cold War as well as conceptual issues. The paper, which was co-authored with Professor Brian Job from the University of British Columbia, will be forthcoming as a chapter.
Roundtable with Professor Akio Takahata: On 20 March the Centre for Strategic Studies hosted a roundtable with Professor Akio Takahata, a specialist in Asia /Pacific security issues at Japan's Hakuoh University, and a regular contributor to the Sankei Shimbun newspaper. Professor Takahata was accompanied by Maruo Shinichi, head of the Political Section in the Japanese Embassy in Wellington. Subjects discussed included China/Japan relations, Japan/US relations, perceptions of United States leadership on global and regional issues, United States re-balancing in the Asia/Pacific region, Japan's relationship with Russia in the wake of the annexation of Crimea, and Japan's security relationship with New Zealand.
Centre for Strategic Studies Contributes to track one ASEAN Regional Forum Workshop on Preventive Diplomacy Training: Paul Sinclair, Regional Security Fellow at CSS attended the ASEAN Regional Forum (ARF) roundtable on training resources for Preventive Diplomacy hosted by MFAT in Wellington 20-21 March. ARF Ministers in 2011 had endorsed a Work Plan on Preventive Diplomacy. The roundtable focussed on the capacities and capabilities of the ARF and its participants in the field of Preventive Diplomacy, and on training needs. The objective was to identify options for regional training and prospects for collaboration with international programme such as that conducted by the United Nations Institute for Training and Research.
Roundtable with the Massey Centre for Defence and Security Studies: The Centre in partnership with the Massey Centre for Defence and Security Studies hosted a roundtable on 4 March with Dr Bernd Kubbig, Project Director of the Peace Research Institute Frankfurt and Adjunct Professor at Goethe University, Frankfurt. Dr Kubbig discussed his experiences as Coordinator of the international experts group known as the Multilateral Study group on the Establishment of a Missile Free Zone in the Middle East. Participants were drawn from both Centres' staff and stakeholders and had a wide-ranging discussion on frameworks for developing peace and security within regions. A general conclusion was that for short term stability specific local factors are probably more important than generally applicable principles for long term peace.
27th February Discussions with the Philippines Ambassador: The Philippines Ambassador Virginia Benavidez visited the Centre for Strategic Studies on 27 February to discuss recent developments in the case the Philippines has put forward to the Arbitral Tribunal established under Annex VII to the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea in respect of China's South China Sea claims and the likely timetable for the Tribunal's consideration of the Philippines case. She also discussed the development of confidence building measures to reduce the risk of maritime incidents in the region, progress on the Code of Conduct in the South China Sea and the work of the ADMM+ Expert Working Group on Maritime Security which New Zealand is about to co-chair with Brunei.
CSCAP Maritime Security Study Group Meeting: Paul Sinclair, Regional Security Fellow at the Centre for Strategic Studies, co-chaired with Singaporean and Indonesian counterparts the second CSCAP Maritime Security Study Group meeting. The meeting held in Jakarta 17-19 February focussed on measures to build confidence to reduce the prospect of an incident in the maritime commons escalating to conflict. Immediately prior to that meeting Paul Sinclair attended a CSCAP experts meeting on proposals to ensure the safety and security of vital undersea communications infrastructure for which currently there are no adequate international mechanisms.
6th East Asia Security Outlook Seminar: CSS Director, Dr Jim Rolfe, gave a paper 'Comprehensive Security and Non-Government Organisations' at the 6th East Asia Security Outlook seminar in Brunei on 18 February 2014. The seminar is an annual event organised by Brunei's Sultan Haji Hassanal Bolkiah Institute of Defence and Strategic Studies. The themes of this year's seminar were around cooperation to achieve security outcomes. Papers were given by a range of international scholars on the development of ASEAN as a security community, ASEAN's security relationships and on regional maritime security. The audience was drawn primarily from Brunei's security community.
Roundtable with visiting Swiss MP: The Centre for Strategic Studies hosted a roundtable on 11 February 2014 with Swiss MP Thomas Aeschi. Mr Aeschi, who was accompanied by the Swiss Ambassador HE Marion Weichelt, is Chair of the Parliamentary Association Switzerland for Australia and New Zealand. A wide-ranging discussion took place covering the impact of China's rise on the Asia Pacific region, regional security architecture; New Zealand foreign policy, European security issues and cyber security
Asia-Pacific Integration Symposium: In partnership with the New Zealand Institute for International Affairs and the Asia: New Zealand Foundation, the Centre for Strategic Studies hosted a one-day conference on the economic and security dimensions of Asia-Pacific integration on 13 November. The conference attracted more than 100 participants and heard papers from a range of New Zealand and international analysts. Overall there was general consensus, if not complete agreement, that the region (however defined) is integrating in the economic and security spheres, that the two are linked but not necessarily correlated with each other, that the processes are different in each arena and that there are both opportunities and potential costs for New Zealand in these regional developments. New Zealand takes an active role in both the security and economic arenas and, most participants argued, should continue to do so.

Diane McWhorter, author of the Pulitzer Prize-winning Carry Me Home, about her native Birmingham during the civil rights crisis, came to give the annual Ayers Lecture, which honors my parents, Col. Harry M. and Edel Y. Ayers.
Diane is as animated as a college cheerleader but she has the conscience of a moral philosopher. She describes herself as a "sorority-girl scold."
And she asks one of the more profound questions of any age: What do you do in the face of moral evil?
One example she used was the city of Weimar, where the first German democracy was born, which became a metaphor for the best and the worst in humankind.
Roman Herzog, a former German Federal president, said, "Without Weimar, the history of German culture cannot be imagined," meaning that it was the home of culture but also the birthplace of barbarism.
Many famous names are connected with Weimar. For instance, it was the hometown of the writer Goethe; other cultural greats the city nurtured were Bach, Kandinsky, Paul Klee, Franz Liszt and Friedrich Nietzsche, among others.
On a hill eight miles from the culturally harmonious town center rose miles of barbed wire, enclosing the ghastly Buchenwald concentration camp.
What blinded the citizens of this culturally rich city to the horrors outside, evidence of which was available by noxious sight and smell to anyone on a Sunday drive in the countryside?
The camp was built in 1937 simultaneous with a festival for German youth there, during which an organizer called Goethe's Faust, THE German book. He said the book embodied the German soul and called upon the youth to be prepared for sacrifice for the fatherland and Adolf Hitler.
If there is no logic to rallying youth with the example of a man who sold his soul to the devil, this chilling propaganda is one of the stranger mysteries of errant cities such as Birmingham.
Diane's book presents her hometown as a massive conspiracy that linked city government, the police, the Ku Klux Klan, dominant lawyers and civic leaders, the local newspaper and even members of her family in a pact to deny the truth and obstruct citizens in their pursuit of basic American liberties.
Similarly, the civil rights conflict in Little Rock squeezed into the frame of a TV set made it seem the whole city was protesting, but 124,500 of the city's 125,000 went about their business and watched the other 500 at night on television.
The majority in Weimar, in Birmingham, in Little Rock, knew what was happening. Citizens of other cities in the world where evil thrives know what is happening, but few are moved to act. Why?
Put that question to Southern whites who never committed nor considered committing any atrocities, who were trying to adjust to the new ways, and who got fed up with the adjectives applied to them in the media.
Their anger had roots in unacknowledged shame at their own impotence when face-to-face with dehumanizing wrong; good people handcuffed by cultural cowardice.
How that happens was described from the personal experience of a decent man, a juror who had no feelings of racial animosity. Yet, he voted to acquit two white Mississippi half-brothers of the savage murder of a 14-year-old black child, Emmett Till.
The juror said that to do the right thing and convict the brothers he would have to scale a three-level test of moral courage — a summit he could not attempt. He would have to believe that the bedrock of his civilization should be changed, that it was possible to do so, and, finally, he would have to believe that he personally could do something to alter the old ways for the better.
It is possible to feel twinges of sympathy for Southerners, for Germans, for anyone torn by helplessness in the face of evil. But again the question rises, why, what is the force that freezes the moral impulse of decent people?
The glue that held the old, segregated South and prewar Germany together, which binds our society today, is the sameness of everyday life, workaday rituals, habits of civility and conformity to the norm (what would the neighbors or my church think?), and add to that ambivalence, indifference and resignation.
Relieving the pain of moral paralysis seems to be extremely hard. In Germany it took a war and in the South it took the turbulence of an organized, national civil crusade.

Oxi, the deadly and highly addictive drug, is a mix of cocaine paste, gasoline, kerosene, quicklime and some are mixed with cement and sulfuric acid. It has reached Niterói in Rio de Janeiro. Eighteen oxi stones were seized and a suspected dealer was arrested during an operation executed by the 79th precinct of the Civil Police in Niterói.
In the favela Jacarezinho in Zona Norte (North Zone) of Rio, in an area called 'Cracolândia', the police are also on a major alert. During a recent police investigation, the police arrested sixty suspected crack addicts, including sixteen children and adolescents. By organizing regular police actions and removing addicts, the department hopes to eventually rid the area of drug addicts. Want to know how to get a room for carnival rio? Read here.
José Beltrame, the Secretary of Security, confirmed that oxi has reached the state of Rio de Janeiro. Beltrame said the police will do its part in fighting the drug, but he also needs work of other institutions: "The fight against drugs not only involves security to stop this new substance from emerging, but it also depends on the treatment of addicts. We must be prepared to face oxi."
Oxi is a cheaper than crack. It looks like a little rock and it is smoked in a makeshift pipe or rolled up in a cigarette. It sells for about R$2 (US$1.20) per stone. It is much cheaper than the regular street value of crack of R$10 (US$6.30).
Oxi reaches the brain faster than cocaine or crack, which is according to psychiatrist from the Rehabilitation Clinic Greenwood in São Paulo, Pablo Roig. Roig told the Brazilian press: "Cocaine is snorted through the nose and has to go through the blood to reach the brain.
Therefore, it takes longer to have effect than crack and oxi, which are inhaled into the lungs and reach the brain within seconds".
Depending on the person, oxi provides sensations that can go from joy and relief to anxiety and paranoia. Because of the high toxic levels of the substance, it is highly addictive and far more destructive to the body than crack, heroine or cocaine. Save more during your stay in Rio de Janeiro. Avail the rio carnival package hostel here.
Oxi damages the lips, taste buds, and teeth. Then other organs are started to get affected, like the liver and the kidneys. Once the kidneys shut down, the body cannot eliminate toxins from the blood, causing nausea, diarrhea and gastrointestinal problems. Addicts are also more vulnerable to heart attacks and strokes.
Roig added, "People can use crack at least five to six years, but thirty percent of oxi users may well be dead after one year,".
The researcher who helped conduct the first study of oxi in 2005, Alvaro Mendes, said "This can no longer be called only an Amazon drug for the poor. It's also now being used more and more by middle and upper-middle class." Mendes also adds: "In the fifteen years I have been working with chemical dependency, I have never seen a drug with such a potential of destruction as oxi."

SUP - Community
On the first stop of the US SUP Tour, FCS SUP team riders Zane Schweitzer, Slater Trout, and Candice Appleby took home the win in each of their divisions.
Slater Trout began working on his signature SUP race fin in 2010. Slater was after a specifically designed course racing fin which would combine all elements required to provide an all-round fin.
While most watched Mick and Kelly battle it out in sunny Hawaii, Canadian Surfer Cameron McCreath suited up and paddled out into a snow storm on the shores of Lake Ontario.
Dave Kalama has been a legendary waterman for almost 2 decades. At FCS we are proud to share Dave's latest thoughts on SUP Surfboards and the relationship between board and rider.
After a steller year of competition, Brazillian Nicole Pacelli was crowned the first ever Women's Stand Up World Tour Champion at the La Torche Pro in France. Watch the video recap here:
What you may not realize, is that the top three male finishers in the 14 foot division of the distance race were all FCS SUP team riders!

Salem, OR -
12/07/2010 - Oregon's Ocean Policy Advisory Council (OPAC) today formally endorsed three marine reserve plans developed by state-appointed community teams, – made up of science, conservation and industry representatives – by forwarding the plans to the governor and Legislature for review and implementation in 2011. The final agency recommendations for the Cape Falcon, Cascade Head and Cape Perpetua reserves are the product of nearly a decade of public process. These three areas would be added to the Redfish Rocks and Otter Rock marine reserves designated in 2009 to create a network of protections along the state's coast.
"We appreciate the intensive work of the diverse community teams and the oversight provided by the Department of Fish and Wildlife. The collaboration and compromises negotiated through this process put the state on a path to sustain our ocean legacy in the Oregon way," said the Pew Environment Group's Susan Allen, who directs the Our Ocean coalition.
"This compromise brings our state one step closer to having a science-based marine reserve network that will provide an ecological savings account to help sustain coastal economies and ensure our marine environment remains healthy for years to come," said Robin Hartmann, ocean program director for the Oregon Shores Conservation Coalition.
The community teams, created through House Bill 3013 in 2009, were asked to develop balanced marine reserve and protected area plans for three ecologically important and nationally recognized regions: Cape Falcon, Cascade Head and Cape Perpetua. Using two benchmarks established by Gov. Ted Kulongoski in 2008, teams were required to identify "not more than nine sites for consideration as marine reserves that, individually or collectively, are large enough to allow scientific evaluation of ecological benefits, but small enough to avoid significant economic or social impacts." The assignment resulted in well over 4,000 hours of volunteer time and a year of hard work, study and compromise to deliver majority-supported plans to ODFW.
"Setting aside prime habitat at Cape Falcon, Cascade Head and Cape Perpetua will boost the resilience and productivity of our nearshore," said Paul Engelmeyer, manager of the Audubon Society of Portland's Ten Mile Creek Sanctuary.
In addition to the Redfish Rocks and Otter Rocks reserves, and the three plans just endorsed by ODFW, Oregon's Ocean Policy Advisory Council recommended further evaluation for the Cape Arago area. A community group facilitated by the International Port of Coos Bay is working to develop a protection plan for that area and is expected to deliver its recommendations later this year.
