On Wednesday, March 17, participants in the Liberty Mutual Pro-Am awake to a light fog resting over the grounds of the World Golf Village in St. Augustine, Fla. The complex is hosting Liberty Mutual's Legends of Golf tournament for the first time this year. At The Slammer and The Squire, the championship course named for golfing pioneers Sam Snead and Gene Sarazen, officials in windbreakers await the start of play.
Chi Chi Rodriguez and his four amateur teammates arrive for the 7:30 shotgun start. As the starter announces Rodriguez, gives his career highlights, and mentions the millions Chi Chi has raised for kids, the dapper 64-year-old chats with his fellow golfers. Then he steps up to the tee, looks out at the mist lifting off the fairway, and casually cracks one into the rising sun. A video crew, two photographers, spectators, and officials look on. The amateur players head to their tee box as the sun gets higher, the air feels warmer. The fairway stretches out before them, full of promise.
This is what it's all about. Liberty customers, executives, and guests are getting this chance to walk alongside a legend, to play the tournament course.
They'll remember it forever.
Building Relationships Every year, the Legends of Golf tournament draws thousands of spectators, is televised by ABC and ESPN, and attracts some of the biggest names in senior golf.
But for sponsor Liberty Mutual, Wednesday's Pro-Am and seven other golf tournaments held over the course of Legends week and weekend are really the main events. These tournaments let Liberty's executives thank their major customers, reward their top salespeople, and court prospects.
On Monday, the first wave hits. Some 400 customers, sales reps, and guests, along with Liberty's executives and board of directors, arrive. They will stay through Friday morning. As they depart, 100 new customers and guests arrive for the weekend.
Throughout the week and weekend, Liberty hosts more than golf for these attendees. There is a theme party every night, and every day there are nongolfer activities, such as sightseeing, city tours, spa programs, canoeing, swamp buggy rides, and shopping.
But golf is the centerpiece. That's what builds and nurtures the relationships that are critical to Liberty Mutual. As guests wander the complex wearing their all-access badges, as they chat with the legends of a game they love, they know they're part of a select group. They understand how much their business is appreciated. And those impressions become memories that keep sealing the deal for Liberty.
Of course, as any meeting planner knows, goals like these are met only if attendees perceive their experience as smooth and effortless. Responsibility for that rests on the shoulders of Mary Keough-Anderson, CMP. "It's one of the most important customer events we do, definitely," says Keough-Anderson, Liberty's manager, conference and meeting management, who has been planning the events that surround Legends for the past eight years. "This is not your regular meeting."
It's so important, in fact, that this year three staffers who work at resorts that have hosted previous Legends events were brought in just to handle the golf bags. With hundreds of golfers playing tee times and tournaments at six area golf courses, golf bag duty is among the most critical. The "bagmen" and one Liberty planner, Rosalie Triggs, are up at 4 a.m. each day to inventory every single club that goes out. They're inventoried again when they come back. "It's a formalized procedure. We know where the bags are at all times," Keough-Anderson says. "Once they arrive, [attendees] don't handle their bags at all."
Tee Times and Tournaments "There's tons of golf," Keough-Anderson says of the seven days that make up Legends week and weekend. "Most business is done on the golf course. These are good opportunities for the executives to maintain and develop their relationships with customers."
Booking eight tournaments and making reserved tee times readily available for guests takes the cooperation of a lot of local partners. Keough-Anderson did site inspections of all the area courses and met face to face with their golf directors about a year before the event. As a golfer, she has the lingo down, which is important. "When you meet with these golf pros, you have to be able to talk to them," she says. "And you really need to play the course if you have time. You don't know a golf course until you play it. When I'm doing site inspections of six or seven courses, I'll at least ride them if I don't have time to play."
Communication is also critical between the meeting department and the executives who are doing most of the inviting of attendees. To help them, Keough-Anderson's department provides host kits that include brochures, programs, and scorecards. She also sends them regular reports on which of the invited have responded. She also meets with the Legends Golf Committee, which includes the executives that head up Liberty's various markets, several times before the tournament to handle two of the toughest tasks she faces: seating charts for each night's dinner and golf pairings for each tournament. "Those two things are very important," says Keough-Anderson, who bases the assignments on a list of criteria created by the Legends Golf Committee.
A Year of Firsts As a tournament that's been held for more than two decades, the Legends of Golf this year marked a number of firsts: the event just became an official PGA event; it was held at its new permanent home, World Golf Village; and qualifying sales reps brought along their spouses for the first time.
"It was a challenge to be using World Golf Village for the first time," Keough-Anderson says. "We were their first major golf event." So she came up with a couple of ways to ensure that the hotel delivered top-notch service. She planned a pep rally for the staff, including lunch and entertainment. She used the rally to talk about the importance of the event and the service her attendees were used to, and, most important, to announce an incentive contest she had created. Liberty Certificates had been included in attendees' welcome packets, she told the staff. Guests were being encouraged to hand out the certificates to any hotel employee who exceeded their expectations. At the end of the week, employees would receive five dollars for each certificate they collected.
"It worked," Keough-Anderson says. "We had attendees asking for more certificates and raving about the hotel employees. The chef got one. Even phone operators got them."
Keough-Anderson presented the top certificate-earner with a plaque. "The winner was a bellman, but the contest also reached the people in the back of the house, which is what I wanted to happen," she says.
A big change for qualifying sales reps this year was that their spouses were invited. "This way they can socialize with the customers. It's more difficult to socialize with couples when you're by yourself," Keough-Anderson explains. "Also, we used to seat the incentive winners all together; now we're putting them in with their customers." Individual sales offices hold six-month contests for Legends, with total sales rep attendance capped at 50 people. It's a prestigious ticket.
For Keough-Anderson, what makes this event challenging is also what makes it rewarding. "It's an event that covers all aspects of planning, from golf to printed materials to database management to theme parties. It's my favorite meeting," she says. "I'm the project manager, but I bring all my planners, and we get to work together as a team. We're running on adrenaline. It's a lot of work, but we play hard, too. It gets my blood flowing."
For participants, the chance to reach out and touch a piece of golf history is unparalleled. Even the legends themselves appreciate the experience. "The best thing about Legends is you get to rub elbows with the pioneers of the game," says Chi Chi Rodriguez. "Just to be around Sam Snead . . . When I'm around Sam Snead, I don't make statements. I just ask questions."
A highlight of the 1998 Legends tournament was the Liberty Mutual blimp, which actually took attendees for rides. But the blimp made the biggest impact on a golfer who wasn't even invited to the Legends event.
The story goes that this executive was playing golf at a course nearby the Ritz-Carlton, Amelia Island, site of last year's tournament. As it happened, he'd been in the process of deciding between Liberty and another insurer as his company's provider. He looked up, saw the blimp, and took it as a omen. He signed with Liberty.
Even before Liberty Mutual decided to make World Golf Village the permanent home for its Legends of Golf tournament, this new resort complex had plenty of legends in residence at its World Golf Hall of Fame. Nearly a decade in the making, the Hall of Fame opened last spring as the centerpiece of a complex that includes upscale lodging with an attached convention center, retail outlets, and two incredible golf courses designed by and named for four true legends of the game.
Last year The Slammer and The Squire course opened, named for Sam Snead (who won the first Legends tournament, in 1978) and Gene Sarazen (who passed away in May at the age of 97, just a month after teeing off as a ceremonial starter at The Masters). This year sees the opening of a second course, The King and The Bear, designed by and named for Arnold Palmer and Jack Nicklaus.
Organized like a golf course, the Hall of Fame museum covers the historic game on the "front nine" and the modern game on the "back nine." A highlight is an interactive computer exhibit allowing users to surf a Web site of the Hall of Fame's male and female inductees, clicking through "scrapbooks" of photos, video clips, and personal narratives from their golfing heroes. Guests can evaluate their own talent at the swing analysis machine and take a solemn walk over a replica of the famous Swilcan Burn Bridge from the 18th hole at St. Andrews in Scotland. There are even two outdoor exhibits: a par-three island challenge hole and an 18-green putting course.
The 75,000-square-foot venue is available for receptions of up to 500 people, catered by the World Golf Village Resort Hotel. Special features: a 32-unit video wall available for promotional tapes, and an IMAX theater seating 300 people for AV presentations. The 191-foot Hall of Fame Shrine Tower, overlooking World Golf Village, is available for intimate dinners of up to 50 people.
Nearby, the World Golf Village Resort Hotel, a John Q. Hammonds Hotel, offers 300 rooms (with the capability of expansion) and a 10-story atrium. The adjoining St. Johns County Convention Center offers 40,000 square feet of meeting space, including a nearly 30,000-square-foot ballroom. The 450-acre World Golf Village complex also features the Vistana Resort, with 400 one- and two-bedroom vacation ownership villas.
Minutes away is the charming city of St. Augustine, America's oldest city, with numerous historic sites and plenty of shopping and dining options. For more information, visit www.wgv.com.
Before dinner on Tuesday night of Legends Week, Liberty Mutual President and CEO Ted Kelly began his welcome remarks talking about Juan "Chi Chi" Rodriguez. "Golf is better for having Chi Chi, but the world is better for having Chi Chi," he said. "We're proud to know you."
Indeed. Not only has Rodriguez's presence on the PGA tour and now the Senior PGA tour brought a new level of fun and entertainment to the game, he's also had a profound impact on the lives of thousands of kids through his charity, the Chi Chi Rodriguez Youth Foundation, in Clearwater, Fla. He also founded an orphanage in Guadalajara, Mexico, which now houses
137 kids, and he is looking to build a second home for children there.
"It's my mission," Rodriguez says simply. The Puerto Rico native started the Foundation 20 years ago, and from the beginning, he has contributed much more than his name. He notes with pride that the organization opens its books to potential donors so they can see that 82 percent of the money contributed goes directly to the kids.
Golf is an important component of the Foundation's various educational programs. "Golf is a humbling game. It has a long tradition. But the best thing about golf is the pros," Rodriguez says. "Arnold Palmer, Jack Nicklaus, Sam Snead, Lee Trevino, Paul Azinger . . . any kid that wants to be like those guys is going to be all right. The problem in this country today is that kids idolize the wrong people."
They would do well to emulate Rodriguez, who cites Mother Teresa as his own idol. Over the two decades that his Foundation has been operating, it has garnered numerous awards, and in 1994, Rodriguez was an inaugural inductee into the World Humanitarian Hall of Fame.
"I want my kids to be taxpayers instead of tax burdens," he says. "I want to give them not just hope, but a chance."

The Rank I is a planned program of study for school based speech-language pathologists in Kentucky. Applicants to the Rank I program must hold or be eligible to hold the Rank II Kentucky Teacher certification in Speech-Language Pathology. If you are interested in the Rank I but are not currently teacher certified in speech-language pathology, you would first need to complete the Master's degree in speech-language pathology in order to be eligible to apply and be accepted. Students outside of Kentucky are welcome to take the courses but it will not lead to the Rank I. The courses may be able to serve as continuing education units for ASHA certification or state licensure.
All Rank I students must have a Master's degree or be in the last semester of study for the master's degree. It indicates 60 approved hours of graduate study (including the Master's degree.) For example, a student whose master's program was 48 hours, would need an additional 12 planned hours to earn the Rank I.
If 9 or fewer hours are needed, all should be taken in the Communication Disorders (CD) Department. If 12 or more are needed, the majority should be taken within the CD Department. Current state regulations (16 KAR 8:010) stipulate that at least 15 hours of the Rank I program must come from the recommending institution. If your Master's is from WKU, you can earn 14 or fewer hours directly toward the Rank I. If however, your Master's is from another school, you would need to earn at least 15 hours directly toward the Rank I. For more information on this policy click here.
Course work is as follows (all courses are 3 credits):
Required Course
- CD 589 Special Topics in Communication Disorders
Choose at least one course from the following:
- CD 503 Advanced Diagnostic Procedures in Speech Pathology
- CD 505 Orofacial Anomalies
- CD 550 Consultation in Communication Disorders
- CD 570 Administration and Supervision in Speech-Language Pathology
- CD 572 Contemporary Issues in Communication Disorders (may be taken two times if the topic of the class is different)
- CD 619 Assistive Technology and Communication Interventions for Students with Autism Spectrum Disorders
- Any graduate course in Communication Disorders that does not appear on the student's graduate transcript may be acceptable
Coursework Outside of the CD Department:
If choosing to take courses outside the CD Department, students can select from the following courses to obtain a total of 60 hours:
- PSY 511/510 Psychology of Learning
- EXED 532 Families, Professionals, and Exceptionalities
- LTCY 519 Foundations of Teaching Reading
- EXED 620 Seminar in the Administration of Special Education
- EDAD 594 Seminar in Leadership: Auxiliary Programs in Education
- EXED 518 Contemporary Challenges in Special Education
- CNS 586 Parenting Issues
- CNS 552 Testing and Assessment in Counseling
- Other approved electives may be acceptable
Total: 60 Graduate Credit Hours
Web-Based Program
All Communication Disorders courses provided for distance learning cohorts are web-based courses. This means that you complete assignments, readings, etc, from your home. You will need a computer or access to a computer having a minimum of 56K-band rate, and Internet access with a reliable Internet service provider that can handle Java script.
All Rank I applicants must be admitted to WKU's Graduate Program. Click here to apply online. The Graduate School will notify the Department when you are accepted into the Rank I program of studies.
Once accepted, applicants may begin their Rank I program in any semester. You can search for classes through the WKU Schedule of Classes then register for class through WKU's TopNet. The length of time it takes a student to complete a Rank I depends on how many credit hours needed to attain 60 credit hours, course offerings, and your personal situation.
For further information, contact Dr. Lauren Bland at firstname.lastname@example.com

The Norman Transcript
NORMAN — If everything goes as planned, Norman High has found a long-term answer to its softball program and Andrea Harrison has received an express ticket toward her softball coaching dream.
"Did I think it would happen so soon? No," Harrison said. "But a lot of people have a 10- or 20-year plan. This was my plan."
Monday night, the Norman Public Schools Board of Education approved Harrison as the Tigers new fast-pitch softball coach. She takes over for Tim Gonzales, who resigned after the fall season concluded.
Not yet certified to teach, the expectation is that will be taken care of by the beginning of the next school year. If it seems odd that she doesn't yet have certification, it shouldn't.
This time last year, Harrison was getting ready for her senior season of collegiate softball at UCLA. Still, it wasn't the only thing on her mind.
"I already had the intention of coming out here and starting my life over," she said. "I went to college so close to home and I just thought that it would be best for me to start the next phase of my life somewhere away from home … Part of me said I had to do my own thing."
She's been busy since moving to the area coaching youth softball, offering her services as a private hitting instructor and becoming a teaching assistant and assistant fast-pitch coach at Southmoore.
NHS athletic coordinator TD O'Hara said it was Harrison's energy, enthusiasm and wish to have a positive effect on students and athletes that most impressed her hiring committee.
"We're excited to have somebody like her," O'Hara said.
Harrison's playing resume is very strong.
She was an All-American and a two-time team MVP at UCLA. She hit .359 with 15 home runs and 47 RBIs last spring. As a sophomore, she led the Bruins to a national championship, hitting four home runs and collecting 11 RBIs at the Women's College World Series.
Harrison had the opportunity to play professionally but chose instead to chase her coaching dream.
"This is something that I thought might happen through the years, but the opportunity came up and I couldn't pass it up," she said. "I couldn't be more excited."
Harrison will continue with her duties at Southmoore through the spring semester but looks forward to taking charge of her new program just as soon as the rules allow, or a couple of weeks after all spring sports seasons conclude.
It is unclear if she will assume leadership of the NHS slow-pitch program. She isn't looking forward to rocking any boats, but has made it clear she would be willing to handle NHS softball year round.
"I told (assistant superintendent in charge of personnel) Pat Nolen I want to make this program something different," Harrison said. "I told him I have no problem taking over the slow-pitch program … If I can stay with them year round, that would be great."
Gonzales, still the slow-pitch coach, said Tuesday he didn't know what his future held beyond the spring. Also, he is a fan of Harrison's hire.
"She's young, she's smart, she's got a good background and she's got energy," he said. "I think that's what the program needs."
Gonzales believes Harrison is coming in at the perfect time, with most of the team coming back and new resources, including an indoor practice facility, becoming available.
"I think it's a good fit," he said.
Harrison can't wait.
"My passion is working with young athletes," she said.

Signia's Robinson hire paves way for Leeds and Manchester arms
by Annabelle Williams on Feb 01, 2013 at 07:00
Signia is looking to open offices in Manchester and Leeds following its first foray outside London in Birmingham last year.
The expansion plans follow the boutique's hire of former Schroders Private Banking boss Rupert Robinson for the newly created role of head of wealth management. He will work alongside its Birmingham office chief Martin King to grow the business in the north.
The pair are currently scouting for teams to come on board and aim to open at least one regional office in the next 12 months.
Signia opened the Birmingham branch last January, with King brought in from UBS Wealth, where he was an executive director, to head the branch. He said the decision to open further offices was on the back of its regional success so far, as Birmingham had 'really taken off'.
While he declined to give a figure for the office's asset under management, he said it had made a good start on its target of £500 million to £1 billion in assets within the next five years.
'We have gained traction so quickly,' he said, adding that even though Birmingham is 'very well broked' he felt there was a gap in the ultra-high net worth market.
'There isn't any business like Signia in Birmingham, an independent business that offers holistic wealth management to high net worths,' he said.
'There are lots of smaller IFAs, a handful of private banks but not one has positioned themselves to offer truly holistic wealth management services in the high net worth space.'
While Signia formally caters for clients with more than £10 million in assets, King said he had been flexible on the minimum in Birmingham, working with clients with assets of £5 million and upwards, and would likely be as flexible in other regions.
While many will look to The Rich List as the definitive barometer of wealth in a region, King said this list was not truly reflective of the scale of wealth in the Midlands. His team have identified roughly 500 families in the area with £10-£50 million of wealth.

Football may have the highest number of concussions by sport because of the roster size, but many other sports see higher occurrence rates per athletic exposure. According to a National Academy of Sciences report released last month, field hockey, lacrosse, soccer, wrestling, ice hockey, and basketball have all proved about as dangerous or more so than football in recent years.

Location: Garberville
On August 3, 2007 Humboldt County Sheriff's Deputies and agents from the Humboldt County Drug Task Force assisted County Code Enforcement in serving an inspection warrant. The property was located on Tooby Ranch Road in Garberville. Upon serving the warrant, deputies discovered nine structures that contained growing marijuana plants. Those structures were at five different grow sites on the property. Deputies seized a total of 3,046 marijuana plants ranging in size from one inch to six feet. Deputies also seized two diesel generators that were providing power to marijuana growing operation.
Deputies arrested Soran Zachary Anderson, 35 of Eureka, and booked him for cultivation of marijuana and possession of marijuana. Anderson posted $20,000 bail and was released.
The case is still under investigation.

The media named the businessman as Puebla-based clothes manufacturer José Camel Nacif Borge, who had instigated a criminal prosecution against Cacho for defamation. Cacho was arrested on December 17, 2005 and released on bail the next day in connection with the prosecution for defamation and slander.
The media reports said the recordings were made before and during Cacho's detention.
In the tapes obscene language is used to describe plans to put Cacho behind bars and assault her. In one conversation before Cacho's arrest, a man who is identified by the Mexican press as Hanna Nakad Bayeh, a Puebla-based clothing manufacturer, asks Nacif to pay someone to rape her in jail. According to the transcriptions published in La Jornada, Nacif replies, "she has already been taken care of."
In another conversation which La Jornada reports was held after Cacho had been released on bail, Marín says, "yesterday I finished hitting that old bitch over the fucking head. I told her that in Puebla the law is respected and there is no impunity and whoever commits a crime will be called a delinquent. And not to try and play the victim and use this as an opportunity for publicity. I sent her a message and am waiting to see what she answers. But she fucks around and fucks around, so let her take a blow over the head that will teach others."
The recordings also implicate other officials in a possible conspiracy against Cacho. Neither Nacif nor the other officials and businessmen have commented on the allegations.
A spokesman for Governor Marín denied that the governor was involved in a plot against Cacho and said the recordings violated Mexico's privacy laws, the media reported.
"These allegations are deeply shocking and we call on Governor Marín to respond," said CPJ Executive Director Ann Cooper. "Because these conversations suggest a possible criminal conspiracy an aggressive investigation must be carried out."
Cacho is a columnist for the Mexico City-based weekly magazines Día Siete and Tentaciones. She is also director of a center for victims of domestic violence and rape in Cancún.
In December 2005, Puebla police took Cacho from Cancún to Puebla saying she had failed to answer a court summons. Cacho said she had never received a summons, a fact that the prosecutor's office later acknowledged was true, the press reported.
The criminal defamation prosecution against Cacho is based on a complaint filed by Nacif. In a book released in May titled, The Demons of Eden, Cacho described the activities of a child prostitution ring that she said operated with the complicity of local police and politicians. She alleged that Nacif had ties to an accused pedophile, which the businessman denied and said damaged his reputation.
On January 18, slander charges based on the allegations made in the book were dropped for lack of evidence, the Mexico City-based daily El Universal reported. The criminal defamation charges against Cacho, however, still stand.

One person died Sunday morning after a wrong way driver collided with a vehicle in the southbound lanes of Interstate 55 near west suburban Darien, state police said.
The crash happened about 5:30 a.m. on southbound I-55 at Lemont Road, said Illinois State Police Sgt. Bruce Orns.
One person, of an unknown age and gender, was pronounced dead at the scene, Orns said. It was not immediately known if there were any other injuries.
As of 9:15 a.m., all southbound lanes of I-55 were reopened from Lemont Road to the Veterans Memorial Tollway (I-355) interchange, Orns said. Lanes were shut down earlier due to the crash.
A representative from the Darien-Woodridge Fire District, which also responded to the crash, referred all questions to state police.

12-Year-Old Boy Badly Burned After Doing The Salt & Ice Challenge! (Burns Cross Into His Back)
Description: A 12-year-boy is in extreme pain with blistering second degree burns all over his back after doing a 'salt and ice challenge' – the latest dangerous craze sweeping the internet. The ill-advised stunt involves putting salt on bare skin then pressing ice on top of it. The combination causes a chemical reaction that burns the skin almost immediately. The Pittsburgh boy, his twin brother and their friend learnt about the 'challenge' through Facebook and You Tube. Last Friday night, the unidentified boy did the challenge as part of a dare, reported the Pittsburgh Post Gazette. Lying on his stomach, his brother and friend poured salt in the shape of a cross on his back before pushing ice onto it.

Why do so many college football fans take great delight in bashing Baylor when Alabama did the exact same thing in their bowl game? Never mind. That's just the way of the a**holes on the Internet.
Briles wasn't a good fit at UT for a number of reasons, though they may have given him a courtesy chat. He's on the old side for UT (58), the Horns would be unlikely to hire a head coach from another Texas school (superiority complex, plus no need to pump up an in-state rivalry); and I suspect he's not a good cultural fit at UT (not particularly telegenic, and I don't think the Horns could see themselves running a Baylor-style offense.)
Briles is set for the rest of his coaching career at Baylor. He's got a good thing going, with good job security and good pay (an estimated $4.5 million per). No need to leave.

OURAY – It's hard to keep a secret in this town – especially about Ouray's first-ever Paralympic athlete. The town has been buzzing with Heidi Jo Duce's not-so-sub rosa news for a couple of weeks. But now it's official. "I'm going to Sochi! I feel like I could fly!" says Duce.
The feisty 23-year-old below-the-knee amputee and Ouray native daughter qualified for the team at the World Cup event in Copper Mountain in mid-January, with second and third place podium finishes, and sealed the deal in two days of back-to-back World Cup competition in Canada last week, where she also took second and third place, consecutively.
Duce brings an aggressive style of riding with unmatched dedication to training and continued development as a well-rounded athlete with a passion for whitewater rafting. She has chased her Paralympic dream since the fall of 2012, training first with the Copper Mountain-based Adaptive Action Sports Boardercross team and then moving to Winter Park to train with the National Sports Center for the Disabled, the largest adaptive sports training program in the country.
Duce shredded her way through various high-level competitions last winter, taking the gold at the U.S. Paralympics Snowboard National Championships in Copper Mountain last March – a remarkable feat considering that she had been riding competitively for just a year and a half.
In October, while training in Austria, she came perilously close to losing it all, miss-timing a move that sent her cartwheeling through the air and landing smack on her shoulder, resulting in a second-degree separation of her AC joint.
But in rehab, Duce started working with "the most amazing physical therapist in the entire world," who was also a pilates instructor. "She rocked it," Duce said. "We focused on building the fine muscles I don't usually use when I go to gym." Thanks to her PT regimen, Duce said, "I have also been able to fix crazy core imbalances from being an amputee my entire life."
Duce's went on to second- and third-place podium finishes amidst fierce competition at recent World Cup events in Copper Mountain and Canada.
Now, it's back to training full-time for the Paralympics. "I fly to Spain Feb. 7 where I have two more World Cups in La Molina," she said. "Then there's a training camp in Aspen the last week of February, then I come home for a day, then I fly to Russia for three weeks.
"Everything goes by so fast," she said. "For me, it's been really important to figure out how to balance snowboarding and training with my personal life, my boyfriend and my family. It has been good for me, figuring out time management. Everybody in my life is so supportive."
That includes her legions of fans in Ouray, who have been supporting her emotionally as well as financially, dropping off checks at the official Heidi Duce Fan Club headquarters (the Timber Ridge Service Station, which her dad Steve co-owns) to help her achieve her dream.
Duce deeply appreciates all the financial support, which has allowed her to focus on training for a sport she loves. Duce, whose right leg was amputated below the knee as a baby, due to a birth defect called fibular hemimelia, has been addicted to snowboarding since she age 11, at an adaptive sports camp called the "Un-limb-ited Amputee Camp" in Utah sponsored by the Shriners, which she attended for six years in a row.
Back then, she never dreamed she'd someday be competing at such an elite level.
"I am the only A team rider who is completely unsponsored," Duce said. "I'm proud to say I don't ride for a corporate sponsor; I ride for the community that supports me. I'm not in it for the money. I'm in it to show the world what amputees can do. And I'm in it for the love of the sport."
In recent weeks, Duce has also been enjoying some love from the national media. She is currently featured on a United Airlines inflight commercial, and made a recent appearance on the Today Show.
But as her big day draws near, Duce said, she works to block out the hype and focus like a laser on just one thing: winning at Sochi. "I think about it every single day," she said. "It's pretty much the only thing I think about. Everything I am doing is in hopes of doing well at Sochi."
The Paralympic Winter Games start March 7; Duce races on March 14. All events will be broadcast on NBC and the NBC Sports Network.
"This is the first time in the history of the Paralympics that it will be televised with full coverage," Duce said. "It's a pretty big deal. And snowboarding is making its Paralympic debut. It's a two-for-one!"

Submarines can only dive so deep before the pressure of the water causes the hull to collapse. That depth is "classified" for whatever reasons. To control the depth, a submarine has diving planes that look very much like wings on an airplane. They are controlled inside the submarine by a "yoke" very much like a "yoke" in an airplane.
When a submarine dives, the angle of attack on those diving planes cannot exceed a certain limit or the submarine will go into a nose down attitude that the diving planes will not be able to pitch back upward even with blowing ballast(air) into the nose to assist in either leveling off or climbing up toward the surface. If that angle of attack is too steep or if the submarine goes below a certain depth, the submarine will sink, implode and Davy Jones' locker will have another naval wreck to add to the count.
Our economy is like that submarine. Our economic submarine is being steered by our mortgage mess diving planes. The Adjustable Rate Mortgages (ARMs) racked up their interest rates, causing people to lose their homes through foreclosure, causing the housing market to slump into a dive. People couldn't refinance their homes now, because the value of their home declined due to the downturn in the appraised value of their home. This caused a situation where lending institutions would not refinance that home now, because what was owed on the home was way above what the home's value was now and banks will not loan money for something that is worth less than the money they are loaning for the purchase of that home.
This caused people not to be able to sell their homes, because they owed more on the home than they could get if they sold it as they would still owe the lending institution more money, and in most cases, a lot more money than they could get through the sale of that home.
Likewise, people were not buying homes as they were valued less than the asking price, thus homes were not selling.
This caused housing starts to drop. Contractors are not building houses they can't sell. Also, suppliers of all kinds of materials and services aligned with home building have seen a downturn in their sales, thus they have had to have layoffs and in some cases have gone out of business.
Those workers, who relied on a paycheck from their job in the housing market, now aren't purchasing things like cars, jewelry, furniture, etc., thus those industries have also seen a drop in business and have had layoffs and closures as well.
We are into the winter season, which always sees a period of layoffs as certain jobs can't be performed in bad weather. When you put all the factors together, we have a big mess in our economy and our submarine is reaching a point where we could be in an irretrievable dive if something isn't done soon. The tax rebates that Congress and the President have signed for which we will all get some money back this spring will only be a slight blip in the effort to raise the bow of our submarine economy.
The upcoming good weather will help, but that is not the total answer by any means. Home lending institutions need to go back to the ARMs and reset them to their original levels and this would help stave the foreclosure rates to some extent and might possibly fuel the sale of homes again and ever so slowly rejuvenate our economy as a result. Let's hope that the money guys quell their greed long enough to right our submarine economy.

Performance was excellent... good current, good voltage, strong charge Battery case is made of a plastic that is NOT resistant to brake cleaner... The top of the battery separated from the bottom... this was an unexpected issueRead All Reviews

I bought this battery to replace the Yuasa battery. It came with the electrolyte in a easy to use plastic bottle with a little clear hose to put into the cells. Worked like a charm (10 minutes). I stuck the battery on the charger for the 3 hours recommended but forgot about it and it ran overnight. Next morning put the battery in and voila, the quad was alive again. Had the quad down in Mexico twice now with the new battery and no starting issues at all. Worth every penny and half the price of the Yuasa.Read All Reviews

Installed the 4 cell on a DR200SE and shaved nearly 5lbs off this very heavy bike. Noticed no loss in performance over stock even on cold mornings. Held a charge despite being unused and not using a trickle charger for several weeks. I'll definitely be upgrading my other bikes' batteries to Ballistics as they wear out. Got one for my KTM 450EXC about the time that I sold the DR. Had it about 6 months before it started dying after a few starts. I kept it on a quality tender whenever I wasn't going to be riding for a few days. Finally got so bad that it would only start right after coming off the tender. Voltage confirmed my suspicions - 13~V on tender, take it off, in 2 hours its down to 12V, next morning, 11V... Love the weight but not for a battery that costs 2x as much and lasts half as long.Read All Reviews

GAINESVILLE - A Gainesville man will spend the next nine years in prison after being convicted in federal court of receiving child pornography.Charles R. Van Brackle, 49, was sentenced Monday after pleading guilty to the charge on July 17. He was also sentenced to lifetime supervised release and fined $2,000. Authorities said Brackle's home computer contained more than 1,000 sexually explicit images of prepubescent children. Gregory Jones, special agent-in-charge of the FBI's Atlanta office, said going after people like Van Brackle is one of the bureau's vital missions. "The extensive collection of child pornography by the defendant is indicative of an individual who has likely been involved in this exploitive behavior for quite some time," he said. "We are appreciative of the sentence handed down today and feel that as a result, the community is a safer place." Van Brackle was originally identified, authorities said, when his name and identifying information were linked to child pornography investigations in Florida, Texas and Pennsylvania. The case was brought as part of Project Safe Childhood, an initiative geared toward protecting children from online abuse and exploitation. In January, FBI and Georgia Bureau of Investigations agents searched Van Brackle's home, where they found the computer. The hard drive, agents said, was sent to the National Center for Missing and Exploited Children's Child Victim Identification Program. Many of the images were determined to be those of known child exploitation victims.

"The serenity of deep color is like velvet. It is like staring at the stars on the darkest of nights and walking quietly through a garden during the full moon with someone you love. My hope is to bring these joyful moments into your home and life through my work."
My expression is an attempt to reach into nature, to explore the dimensions we experience in dreams or meditation. Those we cannot see on the conscious level and make them visual to us.
I have developed a drying technique when using watercolor that allows me to layer the paint in a way not normally done with this medium Additionally I use a similar technique with oil paint. This allows me to create the depth of color for which my work is known.
Rachel Tribble studied fine arts at Syracuse University and the National Academy of Design in New York. Her use of color was fine tuned when working as a jewelry designer painting gemstones. Rachel's interest in light came from years of creating three dimensional light oriented installations for rock nightclubs and rave productions. Her exploration of nature is deeply influenced by her husband, who is Native American and the traditional teachings of his tribe

The Social Circle Police Department took home three awards from the National Interdiction Conference in Nashville on April 2, including 2013 Investigator of the Year.
Celeste Sigman Dupree's 156-year-old house can soon call a new site home, thanks to an anonymous donor and other community members who fought for 10 years to raise the funds needed to save the historic building.
The Welcome Inn will soon be a memory. The building frequently seen on television in the late 80's on the NBC television hit series "in the heat of the night." Tadio Robinson with Enviro Masters told me he and his crew were there to remove hazardous materials including asbestos before the wrecking ball could do the rest. The complete destruction of the building should occur within the next week.
History was both represented and made at Social Circle's American Legion Post 332 Thursday night.
Celeste Sigman Dupree devoted the latter part of her life to saving some of Social Circle's oldest, most historic homes. Now, it's her home, a Greek Revival house built in 1858, that needs saving again.

With less than a month before the Dec. 3 runoff election between incumbent Dan Chisholm and Charlie Akin for the District 4 seat on the Social Circle Board of Education, some citizens are questioning whether Akin should have the ability to set school taxes for residents when he, himself, does not pay them.

Introduction to the Roccat Isku Gaming Keyboard
When was the last time you ventured to your local PC store to take a look at the keyboards they have to offer? I have and it is an adventure within itself. The shelves were filled with numerous choices there had to be at least forty keyboards to decide from. Basic, media, wireless, wired, mini, mechanical and gaming keyboard were part of the selection. Chances are many of you enter the store with what you want already in mind especially when it comes to gaming keyboards. And if your mind is open and want to take a look at a really killer keyboard you may want to walk yourself over to the Roccat Isku. You may walk out with one.
Roccat's take on the Isku
The Isku is the only keyboard in the world to feature our groundbreaking Easy-Shift[+]™ technology, which offers you the wonder of 36 easily-customizable macros strategically positioned in 3 spots in the easy-to-find WASD zone. This means you can fire off orders without ever having to re-adjust your hand position – so you won't have to take your eyes off the screen to look for keys. Simple and ingenious.
And because the Easy-Shift[+]™ key works just like the standard shift key, activating your macros is as simple as typing an uppercase letter.
The Easy-Shift[+]™ zone gives you an impressive 28 macros keys – including 8 dedicated keys that can be doubly programmed. Plus, the ability to instantly switch between 5 profiles lets you enjoy up to a whopping 180 macros – enough customization to meet even the most demanding warrior's needs.

The eggs are harvested and fertilized with sperm Preimplantation genetic testing is a diagnostic test used in conjunction with in vitro fertilization (IVF) and is performed on embryos to assist detection of known genetic diseases or chromosomal abnormalities. When the testing is performed looking for a specific genetic disease that is known to be present in a family, the test is called Preimplantation Genetic Diagnosis (PGD). When the testing is performed looking for a number of possible genetic problems with chromosome count or structurethat might be present, it is called Preimplantation Genetic Screening (PGS). PGD and PGShave been shown to significantly decrease the risk of conceiving a child with a genetic or chromosomal abnormality.
For couples with a known genetic risk, PGD is a major medical breakthrough. This includes identified single gene disorders and genetic translocations. Examples include patients who are known carriers of Cystic Fibrosis or Sickle Cell Anemia.
PGS is now often considered for the following situations:
Studies have consistently shown that PGS does decrease the risk of miscarriage (6-10%)and does reduce the risk of facing a decision for genetic termination. Performing PGS as a part of the IVF cycle increases the treatment cost by about $5000. It is not clear if routine use of PGS in the general population is cost-effective.
For a complete description of the different types of tests of genetic tests and some basic information about genetic disorders, please refer to our web site: http://www.rscbayarea.com/pgd. The most common genetic test used at RSC is a SNP-microarray which can analyze single genes and all 24 chromosomes. The genetics reference lab that performs this test is Natera and their website is: www.natera.com.
PDG and PGS DO NOT screen for all potential genetic diseases and cannot guarantee a healthy child.
Studies are showing no increase risk of birth defects, however there are no long term outcome studies yet of children born through PGS with blastocyst biopsy and freezing.
Possible risks:
Please note, if you are interested in having PGS testing done in your IVF cycle you must let your physician know about your decision before you start the IVF cycle in order to prepare the genetics reference lab.
Why PGD or PGS?

Finished week #1 of the BFL challenge. I ate the diet, as prescribed and exercised according to the plan. IT WORKED. I lost 10 pounds. Perhaps even more important - I feel energized. The last time I rode my bicycle I felt like the inflated tire, but after just one week I feel stronger and fitter already. Looking forward to a successful week #2 now.
10 pounds!? That's fantastic! Congratulations. I'm only on day 3. I'm ready to start feeling better.
Awesome! If you made the first week, you can absolutely make the next! Congrats!
Congrats. Keep it up!!
fit4life "The dream must be bigger than the pain"
Way to go!
Congrats!!! I have one two more days to finish my first week. Already lost 5 pounds and feel better than I have in years
great job and keep up the good work
Wow that is awesome congrats tomorrow will be one week for me and I can't believe the energy I have I won't weigh my self until after I have completed a month but I feel like my clothes are fitting better
Good Job. I have not lost, but I'm happy I didn't gain either. Does anyone have any ideas for not eating sweets? sometimes I have a sweet tooth and on week one, I did go off a bit. trying harder next week. but any helps on will power?
tulip12- I am finishing week 1 also.Finished day 6, free day was yesterday so I will wrap up the week tomorrow. HIIT is a killer. I was so sore after LBWO that I could hardly walk- even hurt to sit on the toilet. Not sure if that means I did something right or wrong. I won't weigh for a couple of weeks either- am determined not to let the scale rule this challenge.I am focusing on just doing the program.
wow .. way to go !!! I am hoping for at least two pounds in my first week. I weigh in on Wednesday. week 2 here we go !!! :)
Bluegrassbob- Wow, a ten pound weight loss in one week is simply incredible! That's a 'Biggest Loser" number! Keep up the hard work, and don't be discouraged if you don't lose ten pounds every week, because week one, you'll lose a lot of water weight.
42feelbetter- Do you take fiber? I got these really yummy tasting fiber tablets (15 calories in two) that seriously taste like smarties! Just take little nibbles and drink lots of water, and it will take a lot of the edge off your craving. I know, sounds weird, but works for me!
Thanks I'll try that. i really do ok but at night I'm use to eating a snack as I'm hypoglemic. I love popcorn but I don't see it on the list. Do you know if it's ok? or do I use it on my free day. TO me it's a carb. what do you say? Thanks for your imput
What a huge success!!!
How much weight are you hoping to lose total for this 12 week challenge? What do you think you did right? Any thoughts or ideas you'd like to share?
I just checked this morning (started Monday) and I've apparently lost 4 pounds in 5 days!!! Yippideedoodahhhh!
However- my hope it to loose a minimum of 30 pounds- and my "real" goal is to lose 39 by the end of week 12.
Have a fabulous weekend!!!
