The Stetson University volleyball team (13-7, 4-1 Atlantic Sun) had its undefeated conference mark and perfect home record blemished after a 3-0 setback to Florida Gulf Coast Friday night at the Edmunds Center.
The Eagles (6-10, 4-1) won by scores of 25-22, 25-23, 25-19 to hand the Hatters their first home loss in 10 matches this season.
"Florida Gulf Coast played well, they posted some challenges that we knew were coming but we were unable to make the right adjustments," Stetson head coach Tim Loesch said. "I think we had a shot to win every single game, we just couldn't do what we wanted to do on our side of the net. Some of that is due to Florida Gulf Coast playing well and putting some pressure on us. I felt like our serving and passing was not as sharp as it has been, and defensively we really struggled with our blocking and digging. Offensively, we did OK. We could have obviously done better in some areas."
Stetson posted big rallies in the first and third sets. Down 24-16 in the opening frame, the Hatters closed the gap to two, 24-22, before the Eagles notched one final kill. In the third set Stetson battled back from a 14-8 deficit to tie the game 17-17, but never threatened after that.
"I felt like we took some points off and did not fight as hard as we could," Loesch said. "At times, we fought really hard, but it was always to come back after we were down. We would catch up, and kind of ease off, thinking (the Eagles) were going to give us some points, and they didn't. They kept playing hard, and then we would have to try and come back again. That is hard to do against a good team."
Kaley Melville led the Hatters with 12 kills, while Madison Akins tallied nine kills and Tiffany Creamer added eight. Kayla Weller picked up 35 assists, while Michelle Kastner collected 11 digs. Ellen Hawks assisted on six blocks.
"I thought Mel Melville had another good game," Loesch said. "In both our losses (this week) she has continued to do her part. Erika White has also played well. I was really pleased with Maddie Akins. She stepped up and had a good match."
Kaitlin Holm led FGCU with 16 kills and a .609 attack percentage. Stetson and Florida Gulf Coast each had 38 kills for the match, but the Eagles hit .235 and the Hatters hit .162.
"Serving and receiving serve, those are two areas we need to clean up a bit," Loesch said. "If the first touch isn't good then the other team has an advantage, and (the Eagles) definitely utilized it."
After five straight A-Sun matches at home, the Hatters will hit the road next week and visit ETSU on Friday and USC Upstate on Saturday.

Gil Shaham
Gil Shaham is one of the foremost violinists of our time, combining flawless technique with inimitable warmth and a generosity of spirit. He is sought after throughout the world for concerto appearances with leading orchestras and conductors, and he regularly gives recital and ensemble appearances on the great concert stages and at the most prestigious festivals.
In the 2011-12 season, Shaham continues his long-term exploration of "Violin Concertos of the 1930s," which comprises performances at some of the most well-established concert venues with the world's greatest orchestras. In January 2012, he begins the year performing Barber's Violin Concerto with the Hong Kong Philharmonic and Virginia Symphony. He tackles Prokofiev's Second Violin Concerto in February with the New World Symphony and fills out the rest of the season giving performances of the Hartmann, Berg, and Stravinsky concertos with the orchestras of New York, London and Atlanta, respectively. In October, Shaham brings Brahms's Violin Concerto to Carnegie Hall with Orpheus Chamber Orchestra, and later in the season he reprises the concerto with the orchestras of San Francisco, Boston and Delaware. This fall also sees Shaham exploring several of Bach's sonatas and partitas for solo violin on a US recital tour.
Shaham returns to the studio this season with his sister, pianist Orli Shaham, for a new recording, Hebrew Melodies, due out in January 2012 on his own label (Canary Classics). The repertoire features an exploration of both traditional and modern Jewish music, including the world-premiere recording of Israeli composer Avner Dorman's new work "Niggunim," a work praised by the New York Times for its "explosive energy." This is not the first time Shaham has had the good fortune to enjoy musical collaborations with family members; previously he's worked with wife Adele Anthony, sister Orli Shaham, and his brother-in-law, conductor David Robertson. On two occasions – first in 2007 and then again in 2009 – the violinist has succeeded in fulfilling his dream of bringing together family, friends, and colleagues for chamber music; both tours of Brahms programs culminated in a series of three concerts at Carnegie's Zankel Hall.
Last season, Shaham launched the "Violin Concertos of the 1930s" project with 34 live performances, including appearances with the Chicago Symphony, Orchestre de Paris, San Francisco Symphony, New York Philharmonic, and Philadelphia Orchestra. In September 2010, he was a special guest artist for the Chamber Music Society's season-opening concert at Lincoln Center along with his wife and fellow virtuoso Adele Anthony. Shaham appeared on PBS with Yo-Yo Ma, Emmanuel Ax, Alan Gilbert and the New York Philharmonic for Carnegie Hall's 120th anniversary concert in May 2011, performing Beethoven's Triple Concerto.
Shaham has more than two dozen concerto and solo CDs to his name, including bestsellers that have appeared on record charts in the US and abroad. These recordings have earned prestigious awards, including multiple Grammys, a Grand Prix du Disque, Diapason d'Or, and Gramophone Editor's Choice. His recent recordings are produced on the Canary Classics label, which he founded in 2004. They comprise Haydn Violin Concertos and Mendelssohn's Octet with Sejong Soloists; Sarasate: Virtuoso Violin Works with Adele Anthony, Akira Eguchi and Orquesta Sinfónica de Castilla y León; Elgar's Violin Concerto with the Chicago Symphony Orchestra and David Zinman; The Butterfly Lovers and Tchaikovsky's Violin Concerto with the Singapore Symphony; Tchaikovsky's Piano Trio in A with Yefim Bronfman and cellist Truls Mork; The Prokofiev Album and Mozart in Paris, both with Orli Shaham; and The Fauré Album with Akira Eguchi and cellist Brinton Smith.
Gil Shaham was born in Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, in 1971. He moved with his parents to Israel, where he began violin studies with Samuel Bernstein of the Rubin Academy of Music at the age of seven, receiving annual scholarships from the America-Israel Cultural Foundation. In 1981, while studying with Haim Taub in Jerusalem, he made debuts with the Jerusalem Symphony and the Israel Philharmonic. That same year he began his studies with Dorothy DeLay and Jens Ellerman at Aspen. In 1982, after taking first prize in Israel's Claremont Competition, he became a scholarship student at Juilliard, where he worked with DeLay and Hyo Kang. He also studied at Columbia University.
Shaham was awarded an Avery Fisher Career Grant in 1990, and in 2008 he received the coveted Avery Fisher Award. He plays the 1699 "Countess Polignac" Stradivarius. Shaham lives in New York City with his wife, violinist Adele Anthony, and their two children.

Memorial Golf Tournament 2014 to Return to Ohio from May 26-June 1
One year removed from capturing his first win at the Memorial Golf Tournament, Matt Kuchar will look to make it two straight at the annual event's 2014 installment. The familiar home of Muirfield Village Country Club in Dublin, Ohio, is set to reprise its role as host for the tournament, scheduled to run from May 26-June 1. Since the Memorial Tournament's inception in 1976, only Tiger Woods has captured victories in consecutive fashion, having won three straight from 1999-2001, and he also owns the record with five in all (2009, 2012). Even the tournament's founder, the legendary Jack Nicklaus, only prevailed on two occasions, in 1977 and 1984.
Woods' absence since undergoing needed back surgery has left the coveted No. 1 world ranking wide open for several next weeks now. Ahead of the Memorial, a handful of potential candidates could potentially make the jump with a win or solid finish including No. 2 Adam Scott, No. 3 Henrik Stenson, No. 4 and reigning Masters champ, Bubba Watson, and No. 5 Kuchar. The top spot would be a first for all four, while of the group; only Kuchar has won at the Memorial Tournament.

By Kevin Opsahl
The son of the late Stephen R. Covey will present a lecture Wednesday at Utah State University to mark what would be his father's 80th birthday.
Stephen M.R. Covey, a businessman himself and author of the best-selling book "The SPEED of Trust," will speak at a "Special Commemorative Dean's Convocation" at Huntsman School of Business, the USU school has announced. The public is invited.
The death of Stephen R. Covey — the Huntsman Presidential Chair in Leadership who died after a battle with complications caused by a biking accident — was felt across the country and in the USU community. Covey made several appearances at USU as a full professor and even attended a Huntsman School faculty retreat one year, officials at the school say.

Katie Couric is getting (really) personal on her new syndicated talk show, Katie.
During an episode set to air Monday afternoon featuring teen star Demi Lovato, who battled an eating disorder and cutting, Couric, 55, opened up about her own past issues with body image – and revealed an eating disorder she had long kept quiet.
"I wrestled with bulimia all through college and for two years after that," Couric said while interviewing an expert in eating disorders.
Sharing details of her experience, she added, "I know this rigidity, this feeling that if you eat one thing that's wrong, you're full of self-loathing and then you punish yourself."
"Whether it's one cookie or a stick of gum that isn't sugarless ... sometimes [I would] beat myself up for that," she said. "That is such a huge thing for people who wrestle with this."

Friday Night Army visits the Carrier Dome of Syracuse at 7:00pm.
After winning the Championship last year, and the beat-down Syracuse handed to Providence last week, Army SHOULD be little more than 3rd gear for the Orange. However, this gets my vote for 3rd game to watch this week as Army always seems to play Cuse very tight.
Georgetown at Maryland Saturday at 1:00pm
Many think this is THE game to watch this week. I say its #2 on my list. Maryland is 2-0 after easily beating both Presbyterian and Air Force. This is Georgetown's season opener.
If you got sick of the term "by committee" while watching the NFL this year, don't watch any Maryland games. In my opinion, they have the best attack unit in the country. Why? The last season Yeatman played (freshman) he put up over 40 points. Last year, (all freshmen) Catalino had over 40 points, Reed had over 30, and Young had just shy of 30 with 27. Yeatman and Catalino have started both games; Reed and Young each got 1 start. 11 Maryland players have 2 or more goals, and no one has more than 3. In fact another 7 players have 1 goal. Maryland likes to shoot. They have out shot opponents 121-50.
FYI in case you forgot, there are 60 minutes per game…so Maryland has shot more shots than minutes they've played. Want more committees, try goalie by committee. We knew that coming into this season as Phipps and Carter split time fairly evenly last season. This season time is right down the middle. Statistically speaking Phipps has a slightly better track record with a save percentage of 61 for his career compared to Carter's 58, and that doesn't include this year's stats yet (77% and 69% respectively).
Georgetown has a very capable attack unit in Craig Dowd, who just keeps getting better, Ricky Mirabito who should be at 100% after suffering an injury in fall ball, and Maryland transfer Brett Weiss. Georgetown's advantage may lie in their midfield unit. Andrew Branaccio has a cannon of a shot. Scott Kocis returns after an injury sidelined him last year. He showed promise as a freshman scoring 7 goals against good teams.
The question mark for Georgetown will be their goalie situation. In the preseason it looked like Jack Davis would get the nod, however none of the 4 goalies the Hoyas are carrying has more than a few minutes experience.
While all the preseason hype puts this as the game of the week, I don't think it will be that close. Most teams schedule an easy opponent the first week or so to wipe the rust off. Georgetown might have bitten off more than they can chew for their season opener…especially with an inexperienced goalie in the pipes. Maryland will pepper Davis with tons of shots…and from everywhere. How he reacts will determine the outcome of the game. If he can make some saves and keep his composure under fire, this could be a great match up. If MD gets a few in early, I can see the floodgates opening in the second half. MD by 6.
Navy visits UNC Friday night at 7:30: This is my personal pick for game of the week.
UNC is 2-0 this season with an easy victory over Robert Morris (16-4) and a victory over Denver by an even wider margin of victory (20-7). Navy is 2-0 as well. They also have one easy win over VMI (13-5) and a hard win over Ohio State (8-6).
UNC out shot Robert Morris but had trouble finding the net in their first week. Coach Breschi focused on improving their shooting, and UNC responded by scoring on 20 of 40 shots against Denver for an unheard of scoring percentage. This week UNC focused on special teams, clears and rides, and is looking for a scrappy tough game against Navy.
As predicted, Petracca and Bitter are the two top guns on UNC, each with 8 Goals and 5 assists (13points). Sean Burke is ready to break out as he has yet to tally a goal this season (4 assists). On the defensive side of the field, UNC has caused 23 turnovers, and keeper Zimmerman has posted a 5.44 GAA but more importantly a save percentage of 64.3%.
Navy wins with their defense. In two games, they have only had 24 shots on goal against them, only had 6 penalties, and 11 goals against. Navy is also outstanding on special teams. Their EMO is over 83% (5-6), and their man-down is a perfect 100% (0-5).
Navy's offense is spread around as 3 players all have 4 goals a piece (Paul, Conners, Nechanicky). Navy's weakness is between the boxes. They have only won 46% of their face-offs.
The key to this game will be Navy's special teams, and UNC's shooting. If UNC can get off to a fast start, its all over. Navy can't compete in a shootout. If UNC does not get that early jump start, or shoots poorly, Navy's special teams could prove to be the upset factor. I am going with UNC on this one by 4.

They dominated from Week 1 and never came close to losing the lead.
After eight weeks, the team appropriately named In It to Win It stepped off the scales as the Tribune Chronicle-St. Elizabeth / St. Joseph Health Centers Fitness Challenge champions.
''We had some guys on this team, they really wanted to do it. They did it,'' team captain Jeff Tate said. ''We led wire to wire.''
The five-member crew shed 18.4 percent of its starting weight to earn the fattest prize in the community weight-loss competition for charity. With bonus prizes, the team will send $1,400 to the Rich Center for Autism, its designated service organization.
The Wellness Warriors finished second at 15.1 percent starting weight lost, earning $920, including bonuses, for the American Cancer Society's Relay for Life in Niles.
Just Weight finished third at 13.9 percent, and will collect $550, including a bonus, for the YMCA of Trumbull County in Warren.
Fact Box
Final stats
2013 CHAMPION: In It to Win It, 18.4 percent of starting weight lost (last year, Believers' Bulge Busters, 18.1 percent)
NUMBER OF TEAMS: 51 for 255 players (last year, 66 for 330 players)
COMBINED STARTING WEIGHT: 53,727.75 pounds (68,801.25 pounds)
COMBINED ENDING WEIGHT: 50,490.0 pounds (64,242.25 pounds)
TOTAL POUNDS LOST: 3,237.75 pounds (4,559 pounds)
AVERAGE LOSS: 12.7 pounds per player, 6.0 percent of starting weight (13.8 pounds, 6.6 percent)
* NOTE: The Fitness Challenge was shortened from 10 weeks to eight weeks this year.
Rounding out the top five were the Lonesome Doves, 12.2 percent and $360 for Cornerstone of Hope, and the Fatagins, 9.4 percent and $315 for the Bella Women's Center in Warren.
In all, the 255 players on 51 Fitness Challenge teams shed a total 3,237.75 pounds over the eight-week competition and raised $14,210 for area charities and service organizations.
Tate said that even though his team held a 2 percent lead and appeared untouchable going into the final week, team members didn't coast.
"We worked hard that last week to make sure,'' Tate said. ''We went to the gym two times a day.''
The results: Tony Cella lost 9.25 pounds in the final week, and 36.25 pounds overall; Joe Matig lost six pounds for the week, and 43 overall; Tate 5.75 for the week and 47.75 overall; Pete Mollica, five for the week and 46 overall; and Bob Ward four pounds for the week and 46.25 pounds overall.
"I picked the guys I knew were going to commit to it and try hard at it,'' Tate said. ''Some people say they're going to, but they don't. I knew all these guys. They wanted to win.''
They plan to continue their better eating habits and exercise - just not as radically, he said.
"Pete, Tony and I will keep working out three times a week," he said. But "it's kind of hard to pass up Mom's spaghetti every Sunday."
Will they be back next year to defend their title?
''Chances are good that we will, but if I ask them now, they'll say no,'' he said of his teammates.
Besides, Tate said, it seems that the core members do fairly well at keeping off the pounds for a couple years, but by the third year, they're too heavy and ready to compete.
Mollica, Matig and Cella were part of the 2007 championship team Inlaws / Outlaws. Those three plus Tate won the title again in 2010 as Never Say Never Again. And now those four plus Ward are the 2013 champs.
Scott MacMillan, captain of the runners-up Wellness Warriors, said it became obvious toward the end that his team wouldn't catch In It to Win It.
''(But) we made our goal. I wanted 15 percent. I knew if we got 15 percent, we'd be in the money,'' MacMillan said of his group based out of Ralph A. Infante Wellness Center in Niles.
The star of the Wellness Warriors was Niles police Chief Rob Hinton, who shed 46.75 pounds.
''Chief Hinton was our biggest loser,'' MacMillan said. ''He said he's at his high school weight. He looks good in his uniform now.''
But don't look to see any of the Warriors next year, he said.
''I'm glad it's over. I'm now officially retired from the Fitness Challenge. I am on my life fitness challenge,'' MacMillan said. ''I don't think any of us are looking to come back.''
MacMillan said he wants to maintain his weight by using exercise, nutrition and lifestyle lessons he's learned in three years of competing. The team based out of the Mayor Ralph A. Infante Wellness Center in Niles finished second twice and third once in those three years.
While they plan to exercise from the sidelines, team members will be available to share what they've learned, he said.
''We're willing to help any other team,'' he said. Being accountable to a team serves as a great way to kickstart a person's weight control goals. ''It's fun. It's hard to motivate yourself."
In third place, Just Weight says it's not over for them.
"It's not over yet. Our journey is still continuing. Our teammates are going to continue to weigh in every Thursday," captain Stephanie Iacozili said.
Her Warren YMCA-based team pushed hard the final week in hopes of catching the Wellness Warriors. They cut the gap in half, from a little more than 2 percent to just less than 1 percent. But the gap was too much to overcome, especially with the Warriors continuing to lose weight themselves.
"We gave it our best. I don't think we could have done any better. It was a great competition,'' Iacozili said.
The team finished second last year, falling short of the championship by less than a pound.
As for coming back next year, "We really hope not. We always say we're hoping not," Iacozili said.

The purpose of screening is early diagnosis and treatment. Screening tests are usually administered to people without current symptoms, but who may be at high risk for certain diseases or conditions.
Screening Tests
Screening tests are designed to find patients with early cancer or those who are high risk. Whenever you go for a screening procedure, be certain to tell your screener if you have any risk factors, especially a family history.
Screening Guidelines
Until there is more conclusive evidence, have a yearly pelvic exam, and ask your doctor if you have any risk factors that would warrant additional testing. Currently, most insurers will not cover a periodic transvaginal ultrasound or a CA-125 blood test. You may have to pay for this yourself or rely on reporting any new symptoms to your gynecologist as soon as possible to have the tests done.

Keith Powell Marries Jill Knox
Keith Powell married visual artist Jill Knox in New York City on Saturday, his rep confirms to PEOPLE.
About 200 friends and family – including 30 Rock costars Katrina Bowden, Judah Friedlander and Maulik Panchol – gathered at Tribeca Rooftop to celebrate the newlyweds, who have been dating for four years.
The couple's teary vows were both sweet and funny, as they shared with guests the moment they realized they were in love. (Knox, 30, knew she was smitten when she realized she was fine with wearing nightly earplugs to muffle Powell's horrible snoring.)
Anthony Vazquez Photography
Powell, 34, proposed to Knox last summer with an elaborately orchestrated picnic in the Hollywood Hills. He finally popped the question with a fortune cookie with the message: "Jill Knox, will you marry me?"
After 30 Rock wrapped at the end of 2012, Powell predicted his next big role would be dutiful groom. When asked about his future plans, Powell told USA Today, "I have a feeling that most of my energy will be focused on my upcoming wedding."

The U.S. Forest Service has scheduled public meetings next week as it works to craft a rule addressing ski resorts and water.
Dozens of resorts with permits to operate on national forests have bought or acquired rights to use nearby bodies of water for snowmaking.
The Forest Service had adopted a clause that said those resorts had to transfer their water rights to the federal government, so that the water rights would stay with the land.
After the National Ski Areas Association sued, a judge ruled last year that the agency violated procedure in not seeking public comment before adopting the clause.
The agency now plans open forums April 16 in Denver, on April 17 in Salt Lake City, and April 18 in Lake Tahoe, Calif., to get input.

Reigning Squaw Mountain Run champion JP Donovan of Incline Village does not mind being the one to beat when the 32nd edition of the race returns this Saturday. But then again, he might not be, he said.
"It's always kind of fun to have a target on your back, but I wouldn't say that I'm the only one with a target on my back," said Donovan, 25, who explained how last year's runner-up, Galen Burrell of San Francisco, recently defeated him soundly in the Montrail 6K Uphill Challenge, which essentially followed the same course up Squaw Valley. "He smoked me too. It wasn't close. He got me. So did some other guy (Rickey Gates), but I don't think he's going to be there."
In last year's Squaw Mountain Run, Donovan and Burrell ran themselves ragged trying to reach the High Camp finish line first, which Donovan achieved in a time of 29 minutes and 52 seconds. Burrell was second in 30:14 and Michael Collins of Carnelian Bay third in 30:21.
"It was pretty awful. We pretty much destroyed each other," Donovan said after the race, which is sponsored by Salomon and is part of La Sportiva Mountain series.
While those top contenders battle it out for the win, however, hundreds will take a more leisurely approach to the annual fundraising run, which is put on by the Auburn Ski Club and benefits their Junior Nordic ski programs and the Tahoe Forest Cancer Center. Some 540 people participated last year, and organizers expect better than 600 this year.
They have the choice to run or walk the 3.2-mile course up Mountain Run, which covers 2,000 vertical feet from the base area to High Camp, at 8,200 feet.
"Many parents hike with their kids, choose to push a stroller or carry infants as an added challenge," said event organizer Sally Jones. "People also do the event each year to celebrate life following personal struggles with cancer or in memory of a loved one who may have been less fortunate."
Participants vary vastly in age, from the single-digits on one extreme to the always-spry Del Wichelman of Oakland, who at age 88 was the oldest finisher last year (he came in 422nd place in a time of 1 hour and 15 minutes). Wichelman, now 89, is slated to run again on Saturday.
The Squaw Mountain Run also offers a guided "flower walk" at High Camp on easy, rolling terrain — with a free ride up and down the hill on the tram. All participants, whether running, walking or flower hiking, receive a souvenir beer mug, beer or lemonade, snacks, and a tram ride back down. They'll also be entered in a raffle with a chance to win prizes donated by local businesses and ski areas.
Awards for the uphill competitors will be given for top three places in five-year age categories.
Register online at www.squawmountainrun.com, or on race morning between 7:30-8:30 a.m.

Court proceedings, exposure to the legal world and historic sights await students participating in the Undergraduate Academies' second annual extension learning program.
The week-long program, "Lawyers as Agents of Social Change," will take place July 28 through Aug. 4 at the Chautauqua Institution. Targeted toward high school graduating seniors and college students of all levels, the program will explore the role of lawyers in the community as they advocate for and participate in social change. The students will be accompanied by UB Law School faculty members Bernadette Gargano and Johanna Oreskovic.
"We want students to participate in the process of learning, to consider different perspectives from a variety of sources," says Gargano, a lecturer in the Legal Analysis, Writing & Research Program. "Students will have the chance to focus on learning in an atmosphere that fosters creativity and reflection."
The program began last year when Gargano approached Hadar Borden, administrative director of the undergraduate academies, with an idea to introduce undergraduate students to the legal world in a professional and motivating environment.
"She really wanted students to experience what it was like to be a lawyer in a real-world setting," says Borden. "We don't use the word 'transformative' very often, but students said the experience was genuinely transformative for them. They especially loved being surrounded by peers with the same enthusiasm and drive."
Last year's trip introduced students to legal proceedings and arranged meet-and-greets with lawyers devoted to legal justice on both a local and global scale. One highlight for the students was a dinner at the home of Francis Letro, a prominent attorney in the national community and vice chair of the UB Law School's Dean's Advisory Council.
This year, students will be introduced to the concepts of crime, punishment and public service based on the life of Justice Robert H. Jackson. This historical example will lead to an exploration of modern legal systems and their continued impact on society.
Additionally, students have the option to continue their study with Gargano in the fall for a discovery seminar surrounding the legal system's involvement in the civil rights movement.
"We provide students with an interactive learning experience that broadens their understanding of lawyers in local, national and global communities as agents of meaningful social change," says Gargano.

2011-12 Participants and Materials
2011-2012 Faculty Sustainability Learning Community
Brian Avery, Biology:
I developed Fermenting Sustainability: a May term course that will introduce students to the science of fermentation and how fermentation can be used to transform both our daily lives and American culture from a resource intensive system that is increasingly fragile into one that is considerably more sustainable.
Christy Clay and Christine Stracey, Environmental Studies and Biology:
We redesigned ENVI 101 Introduction to Environmental Studies to incorporate sustainability more explicitly and thoroughly as the unifying theme of the course. We used a case study approach and included texts, films, and experts to help students explore topics from an environmental, civic and cultural perspective.
Nancy Panos-Schmitt and Doris Richards, Marketing:
We integrated sustainable thinking into marketing foundations including readings, discussions, and hands-on exercises to illustrate how real marketers rethink their practices. Our goal was to expose undergraduate students to the broad concept of sustainability of product, pricing, distribution, and promotion that will ultimately incorporate sustainable practices into organizations.
Gretchen Siegler, Anthropology:
I took advantage of this workshop to prepare a syllabus for a new class called Environmental Anthropology. I was able to develop a good overview of the topics that will be covered in the class, create a group assignment, discover pertinent films and other forms of media, as well as a good selection of reading materials which will be useful for the class.
Jeff McCarthy, Environmental Studies/English, and Rich Collins, Economics:
We are developing a minor in Sustainable Business for Environmental Studies majors and for Business majors. We are also researching the best practices in sustainability in MBA programs around the country.
Deyanira Ariza-Velasco, Spanish
Literature identifies with the goals of sustainability because it builds empathy. The critical points of view are: Ecocide (war of drugs, war of water), Ethnocriticism (Identity and Place) and Eco-tourism (slow travel vs. fast travel, i.e. walking the Pilgrimage to Santiago de Compostela, Spain). I integrated sustainability into four 300-level Spanish courses to be taught over the next year.
Luis Pradanos-Garcia, Spanish
I worked on two projects as part of this learning community. The first project intends to enhance the May Term experience course I am leading in May 2012: "Mediterranean Sustainability and Conviviality in the Global Age: Slow Food Movement and the Pleasure of Social Resistance." The second project consists on the development of an upper level course in "Ecocritical Theory and Hispanic Studies" to be taught in Spring 2013.
Jennifer Eden, Biology
I developed a climate sustainability project and discussion for ESS 205 as a result of my involvement in FSLC. This project entailed scientific research on a climate topic with insight into how climate change will impact pertinent climatic feed back. This was followed by an in depth discussion of climate sustainability and how we can promote food security, economic sustainability and ecosystem protection in light of a changing climate.
Kerry Case, Environmental Center
As part of our work, this learning community developed a set of criteria for what constitutes quality sustainability education. I evaluated the Environmental Center's existing co-curricular programs based on these criteria and developed a plan for improvement.

A University at Buffalo geologist picked by the state to study the links between hydraulic fracturing and earthquakes is now coming under scrutiny for his ties to the oil and gas industry.
Critics have taken aim in recent days at Robert D. Jacobi, a longtime UB professor hired last year by the state Department of Environmental Conservation to do a seismology study as part of its environmental review of the controversial drilling process known as "fracking."
Jacobi also serves as a senior geology adviser for the EQT Corp., a drilling company based in Pittsburgh.
"Couldn't they find someone who wasn't on the industry payroll to study seismic impact, or was that actually the point – to hire an industry consultant to give gas companies a free pass on the question of fracking and earthquakes?" said Kevin Connor, director of the Buffalo-based Public Accountability Initiative, one of the vocal fracking opponents.
"This is the definition of a financial conflict of interest," Connor said. "He's working for both the gas industry and the regulators, and he should not be doing both simultaneously."
The issue was first raised in a story by Bloomberg News, following a legislative hearing this week with DEC Commissioner Joseph Martens. Martens discussed the seismic review and the upcoming release of the environmental study.
Jacobi, meanwhile, fully discloses that he has worked as an adviser for both private industry and environmental groups for more than 20 years.
The UB professor said he has worked across the entire Appalachian basin in New York State documenting fault systems and their effects, which is why the DEC contacted him in January 2012 to study the potential risks.
"If you want someone with no knowledge, or only a smattering, then by all means take someone off the street," Jacobi said in an email to The Buffalo News. "However, I have worked always with integrity and honor in the structural field, and in New York State there is really about only one choice if you want detailed knowledge of faults across the state."
When reached by phone, Jacobi said he completed his work for the state last summer. He would not discuss details of the study but hinted that his critics might feel differently about the situation if they saw his data.
"I can understand why these people, at first glance, think this," Jacobi said. "In this case, I don't agree with it."
Connor, however, also pointed out that Jacobi had served as co-director of UB's ill-fated Shale Resources and Society Institute, which was created to bring an academic perspective to the fracking controversy. The university shut down the institute in November amid mounting public scrutiny and criticism following its initial report.
Jacobi, on the other hand, said that report was written by another director. Jacobi was primarily focused on organizing the institute's board of directors and establishing and teaching courses for the institute, he said.

My name is Colin, and I have a Facebook problem.
Like millions of adults raised on the Internet, my right index finger seems genetically programmed to left-click a mouse. The iPhone thumb-swipe is so hard-wired into my neural pathways that I can instinctively check my Facebook and Twitter feeds when only barely conscious. Which is exactly what I do every morning in my pre-coffee haze, lest I allow the tiniest piece of digital flotsam to float by unnoticed.
Since I joined Facebook in 2005, not long after it was launched, it has become an ever-growing presence in my life. Like a far-away siren growing louder as it approaches, it has taken up an expanding share of my attention, slowly but steadily nudging out other important pursuits and inuring me to the terrible prospect of perpetual multitasking.
Which is why, a week ago, I changed my password to Facebook and Twitter to obscenely long and impossible to remember string of characters, printed it out, and handed it over to my boyfriend with instructions not to give it back to me under any circumstances for two weeks.
My sad little 14-day hiatus from social media, not yet half-over, has already opened my eyes to a few things.
First the good: I've found that my primary compulsion to use Facebook and Twitter comes from a healthy urge to share what I find fascinating.
In the span of just a few days, I felt twinges of disappointment when I realized I couldn't share a hilarious story by Joseph Mitchell in The New Yorker, or a photo in the New York Times showing Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad and Egyptian President Mohamed Morsi in an almost comic embrace. I wanted to express what an awful idea it is for the Niagara Frontier Transportation Authority to get rid of its free-fare zone just as business and activity is starting to return to Main Street. And I wanted to share a video of Saul Elkin eloquently describing the Jewish Repertory Theatre's current production of "Mister Benny" and my blog post on graffiti and art galleries in Toronto.
I didn't share any of that. And yet life still somehow went on.
For me, the ability to satisfy that urge to share is actually the good part of Facebook, as long as it doesn't include pictures of your half-eaten breakfast burrito or endless political screeds in all-caps. The problem for many Facebook time-wasters comes in the feedback phase. Like a lot of Facebook habitues, my brain releases a little bit of serotonin when I see a red number pop up on the notification bar. I want to know who responded to my post, what they said, if they re-shared it.
Most of the time, the only correct answer to that question is: Who cares? But the Facebook-addled brain assigns far too much importance to instant feedback, and not nearly enough to thoughtful digestion of information.
No doubt my concern about an increased reliance on social media to the exclusion of other forms of communication and social activity seems overblown to some, dismissible to many. And I have no desire to join the hand-wringing punditry whose bromides about the ill-effects of social media on young attention spans grow more tiresome by the week.
All I can say is that, for me, Facebook, Twitter and Instagram have reached a tipping point. Their usefulness in keeping me apprised of local goings-on, in allowing me to appreciate at a glance the spirit of the current moment, has been overridden by my own susceptibility to digital distraction. The fault lies fully with me, of course, but I know I cannot possibly be the only one.
When I wade reluctantly back into the social media surf next Sunday, I'll try harder to keep my head above water.

@Xpert360, thanks for the update.
i cant see any thing
It starts in an hour, the time changed, but I'm confused as the dates listed are the 23-April (yesterday) as opposed to the online symposium being today 24th???
Yeah.. Confusing indeed... And Event Brite didn't even bother to send an e-mail updating the schedule.
Yeap, I visited yesterday the site and says 23 but obviously is today some bug in the page I think...
We are in the right time and place as Pete Brown has been tweeting in the last hour
Sorry about the confusion regarding dates. When setting up the sessions, ch9 defaults to "day 0" which, being a programmer, I assumed was the first day of the event. Nope, that would be day 1. (day 0 is the day before) Pretty sure a VB6 programmer did that
When can we see the recordings?
@Rajeev Nair:I heard in about a week.
@Rajeev Nair:I heard in about a week.

A New Year's Day blaze at the Depew-Lancaster Boys & Girls Club severely damaged the building – and tore a hole in the heart of the Depew community, which has depended on the club to provide safe haven and nurture to generations of children.
Dozens of volunteer firefighters worked Tuesday morning to try to limit damage in the three-story brick building, as dozens of area residents – some of them in tears – watched dark smoke billow from the top floor of the structure. The fire was brought under control at 11:45 a.m.
No one was inside the closed building when the fire was reported at about 9:30 a.m.
The blaze, which caused $600,000 damage, remains under investigation, Depew Fire Chief David G. Adamberger said.
One firefighter from Depew's Engine 6 suffered minor injuries when he fell partway through a section of flooring on the second story. "He was taken to Erie County Medical Center and later released," Adamberger said.
The fire, the chief said, appears to have started in the front of the first floor and worked its way up to the second floor and third floor.
"It must have been smoldering for hours before it was noticed. The whole upper floor of the old building is destroyed," Adamberger said. "We are looking at electrical as the cause, but we're not certain."
Heading the investigation is Depew Detective and Fire Investigator Scott Hosfeld.
The main portion of the club, referred to as the older building, is situated at Terrace Boulevard and Litchfield Avenue, a few blocks east of Transit Road.
Smoke and water damage also occurred in the attached gymnasium on the Litchfield Avenue side of the complex, Adamberger said.
Neighbors described the club as a local institution. As they watched fire ravage the beloved community site, they said they found it hard to believe.
The children who depend on the club appeared to be among the most affected.
"I'm not happy. I'm mad," 9-year-old Gregory Harrison said as firefighters knocked out block glass windows and cut a hole in the roof to vent the blaze. "I've been coming here since September."
Sarah Burke, his mother, said Gregory was part of an after-school program that provided her with peace of mind while she was at work.
When asked how many children attend that program, Gregory quickly volunteered the answer: "There's 32 kids."
Dan Hammer stood watching with his 12-year-old son, "A.J.," who was speechless.
"When I was a boy, I came here, and now my son comes here," the elder Hammer said. "I still come here. We have adult basketball, and we just redid the floor for the basketball court."
Officials for the club were too upset to speak, but the tears in their eyes spoke of the great sadness they were experiencing.
Depew Firefighter John Sterns, a retired Buffalo firefighter, said the club has been around for decades.
"I'm 50, and I went here as a boy," Sterns said as he stood on Terrace Boulevard directing traffic away from the fire.
Lisa Rainville, Gregory's grandmother, looked over at St. James School, part of the Blessed Mother Teresa Catholic Parish, and wondered if maybe the school, just across from the club, might open its doors temporarily to the club's children.
"Greg goes to the club every day. He gets bused there from Cayuga Heights Elementary School. I don't know where he'll go now," Rainville said.
The club has offered all kinds of activities for youngsters: arts and crafts, computers, photography, and a sprawling game room on the upper floor with pool tables, shuffle board, pingpong tables and other amusements.
And though the fire is believed to have gotten a strong head start, firefighters were able to make a quick response from the Depew Fire Department's Southside firehouse, a block away on Meridian Street, Adamberger said.
Neighbor Judy Michaels said it was an uphill battle.
"We live right around the corner, and when we came out, the smoke was just pouring out of the roof line," Michaels said. "This has been a big part of the community for many years. It's a safe place for kids to go after school and on vacations."
After attending New Year's Day morning Mass in Blessed Mother Teresa Church, retired Depew School District biology teacher Joseph Enright reflected on just how deep the club's roots run in the community.
"When I first started as a teacher, they had a fundraiser for the club, and I was hit for a sizable donation, which I did not mind making," he said. "The school district's athletes were closely tied to the club. It is a real institution. This fire is a real hit in the head."
Other fire companies that assisted were Forks, Lancaster, Twin District and Lancaster Volunteer Ambulance Corps. The Ladies Auxiliary of the Depew Fire Department provided coffee and other refreshments for firefighters.

Visiting Holy Cross outscored the Stetson lacrosse team 11-0 in the first half en route to a 19-3 victory on Sunday afternoon at the Athletic Training Center.
The Crusaders (1-4) earned their first victory of the season after outshooting the Hatters 34-15 and picking up 26 ground balls to Stetson's 16. Holy Cross was a perfect 14-for-14 on clear attempts and turned the ball over just 11 times, while the Hatters gave it up 22 times.
Sara Hennessey led all players with five goals, while Tess MacKay added four scores. Maddie Ward chipped in with three goals and Kaitlin Concilio led the Crusaders with four assists in the win.
Stetson (0-6) scored all three of its goals in the second half, beginning when sophomore Danielle Horgan scored unassisted with 21:35 to play in the game. Freshman Ana Baranowski and sophomore Mallory Tluchowski scored on a pair of free positions to make the final score 19-3.
Laura Ryan totaled a game high five draw controls and tied Hennessey for the team lead with three caused turnovers in the win.
Hatter sophomore Mary Kate O'Sullivan led all Stetson players with four draw controls won, while freshman Christina Wittmeier led the way with three ground balls and tied for the team lead with two caused turnovers.
Sophomores Caili Guilday and Whitney Meyers split time between the pipes on Sunday. The former made seven saves while allowing 11 goals in the first half. The latter allowed eight goals and made three saves in the second.
Stetson will continue non-conference action with its first true road game of the season on Wednesday. The Hatters play at Coastal Carolina at 6:00 p.m.

Mark Leavitt begins his eighth season as a member of the Stetson coaching staff in 2017, where he serves as associate head coach as well as recruiting coordinator for the program. Leavitt also coaches the hitters and infielders, and handles third base coaching box during games.
In seven seasons, he has helped produce four All-Americans, 16 All Atlantic Sun Conference Selections as position players / hitters, including 2013's Atlantic Sun Freshman of the Year, and four MLB Draft picks. Out of five recruiting classes, two were nationally ranked, 29th in 2012 and 37th in 2014, according to Collegiate Baseball.
In 2012, Stetson was ranked 9th in nation by the National Alliance for College Summer Baseball as one of the most valuable programs due to placing 15 players and their performance in NACSB leagues.Leavitt came to Stetson from Salisbury, Connecticut, where he spent three years as the head baseball coach and associate director of admissions and financial aid for the Salisbury School.
In his first year, Leavitt led Salisbury to a perfect 20-0 record and a Western New England Prep School League Championship.
Two of his players were drafted by major league baseball. In 2008 Anthony Hewitt was selected in the first round by the Philadelphia Phillies (24th overall). Chris Dwyer was picked in the 36th round by the New York Yankees, and then again in 2009 when he was selected in the 4th round by the Kansas City Royals. Dwyer was called up by the Royals last September and appeared in two games for Kansas City.
Leavitt graduated from Princeton University in 1988 after four years as a starter on the Tigers' baseball team. He began his coaching career the following season as the head junior varsity coach and as an assistant with the Princeton varsity.
He went on to work as an assistant coach at George Washington, Princeton, James Madison and George Mason.
As a college coach Leavitt recruited, signed, and coached more than 40 players that went on to sign professional contracts, 17 players who went on to play in the majors.
Shifting gears professionally, Leavitt next took a position as an area scouting supervisor with the Montreal Expos (1997-2001). In 2001 he began a six-year stint with the Seattle Mariners scouting department as territorial supervisor, and then as a regional coordinator.
Some of Leavitt's additional coaching experience includes time as a Doyle Baseball School instructor, head coach of the Vienna Mavericks (Clark Griffith Collegiate Baseball League), head coach of the New Market Rebels (Valley Baseball League), assistant coach of the Chatham A's (Cape Cod League), head coach of the Harwich Mariners (Cape Cod League), and in the summer of 2009 as head coach of the Clermont Mavericks (Florida Collegiate Summer League).
Leavitt is married to the former Christina Spada who graduated from UCF in 1988. The couple has two sons, Scott (14) and Ryan (11).

I don't know how many of you out there know this but on April 22nd of this year there is a new EPA law that will take effect. All homes built before 1978 must follow new Federal guide lines for any building or remodeling.
Any work done on any home must follow the new law. This includes all interior work and exterior work. All work must be done by a Certified lead safe Renovator or Lead safe Company.
Homeowner's in Wisconsin cannot opt-out. The best part is that every home built before 1978 is considered to have lead because Wisconsin has not Approved a test kit to prove they don't. Wisconsins standards are 10 times stricter then the Federal standards.
I am a small builder in Sussex WI. and I want to let you know that this law will increase labor costs by Apporx. 15 to 50% depending on whats involved. There are so many guide lines to follow that this is going to make it very costly to all homeowner's. If the guide lines are not followed the fine is up to $32,000.00.
I have taken the course and have my Certification. I want to say I understand trying to make things better for our children but you are going to be shocked next time you have work done on your pre 1978 home / cottage. This law also includes homeowner's doing their own work you can't if you are not certifided. I cannot belive that the Goverment has not been letting the public in on this. I've seen no mention of this any where they are leaving it up to the builders to tell the homeowner's. Thanks Tom Balestrieri

TEMPE, Ariz. — The Buffalo Bills' defense is at a crossroads.
They're at the intersection of Do Street and Die Avenue.
After two weeks of getting bombed back to the leather-helmet era in terms of statistical ineptitude, the Bills need to make a statement Sunday against a vulnerable Arizona Cardinals offense in University of Phoenix Stadium.
"A lot of people in their business or their lives don't have another opportunity to go out there and turn it around or go redeem themselves," Bills linebacker Nick Barnett said after Wednesday's practice on the Arizona State campus.
"I'm excited about this week. I think we'll do very well with the game plan. We'll see what happens."
The Bills have allowed 90 points and acres of real estate over their past six quarters.
But the Cardinals might present the perfect opponent. They have a seemingly inflated 4-1 record and weaknesses to exploit.
Their top two running backs, Beanie Wells and Ryan Williams, are out with injuries. The St. Louis Rams sacked Cardinals quarterback Kevin Kolb nine times last week. The Miami Dolphins sacked him eight times the week before.
Arizona's offense ranks near the bottom in several stats: 31st in total offense, 31st in rushing offense, 25th in passing offense, 32nd in yards per play and 26th in third-down conversions.
Arizona averages 2.7 yards per run and 4.7 yards per offensive snap, dead last in each category. Only three teams have fumbled more often. No team has allowed more sacks.
By all measures, Arizona looks like a wonderful opportunity for Buffalo's defense to come alive after two weeks of zombified performances.
But the Bills can't make any assumptions.
"If we go out there and think, 'Oh, well, it's going to be this easy because the last two teams did this,' we could be in for a rude awakening," Bills defensive end Mario Williams said. "We have to go out and do it ourselves."
The company message this week has been to get more aggressive on defense. Bills coach Chan Gailey said Wednesday he wants his defense "to play loose, play fast."
General Manager Buddy Nix proclaimed he wants to see a greater sense of urgency.
To that end, there's less emphasis being placed on tailoring a game plan for the Cardinals than dictating the terms, a philosophy that has been difficult with a collection of young and new players in defensive coordinator Dave Wannstedt's 4-3 scheme.
"Sometimes we get so caught up in evaluating what other people are doing," Gailey said. "You need to be more worried about what your team's doing, where your team is and what we need to do to get better."
The players seem to agree.
"It means to play on the edge, don't be too tight or too worried," Barnett said. "That's what a playmaker is. You shoot the gap when you see it and don't second-guess yourself. You see a play to be made, go make it.
"Sometimes you make a mistake when you play that way, but you make a lot of plays, too."
None of the players tipped off the game plan, but one got the impression in speaking with them that they approve of whatever approach will be implemented.
"You can't be good at this game if you're not having fun," Barnett said. "If you're not enjoying it and you don't wish to be out there, you can't be good.
"We just have to have fun and relax and ball. That's what it comes down to."

Comments about Chase Authentics Kevin Harvick Youth Primary Pullover Hoodie - Ash:
I ordered the hooded sweatshirt for my seven year old grandson, who is a huge fan of Kevin Harvick, it arrived two days before our family Christmas
gathering. When we opened the package, there was a very noticable pinkish red stain about two inches in diameter in the area where the the hood meets the shoulder. It was too late to return it, so I wrapped it and gave it to him. I felt terrible and embarassed when he pointed it out to me, but being the good kid that he is, he put it on and wore it for the rest of the evening. I'm on a fixed income and can not afford another sweatshirt,(they are a little pricey). Please have your garments checked before leaving your store so this does not happen to someone else. Its a very nice product, but it had a major flaw in it

It didn't get warmer than 11 degrees Tuesday in the Lake Ontario hamlet of Burt.
With the wind chill, it felt like it was minus 15 – the sort of bone-chilling, eyeball-numbing cold that sends even the hardiest of us scrambling for thermal underwear.
And it was a perfect day for picking grapes for ice wine.
The conditions were just right Tuesday morning for grape growers Ann and Martin Schulze and their closest – and toughest – relatives, friends and fans to take part in the annual winter harvest.
"I'm happy today," Martin Schulze said.
He'd been racked with anxiety the previous night, barely able sleep as he kept checking the weather reports to make sure it would stay cold enough for picking the frozen grapes for that sweet dessert liquid known as ice wine.
The grapes are finicky to begin with, and can only be grown properly in a few places in the world, like Western New York and Germany, where ice wine was invented. It requires just the right balance of dry, hot summers and very cold winters, the Schulzes explained.
The grapes ripen over the summer but are left on the vine all fall. As they dehydrate, the sugars of the grapes concentrate. When the temperatures dive into the subfreezing zone, what little water left in the grapes freezes.
"The sugar solids have a lower freezing temperature," Ann Schulze said.
That's when they need to be harvested and pressed.
"Like marbles," Martin Schulze said as he showed off a giant container of shriveled, rock-hard purple grapes.
The grapes thrived this past summer. While other produce across Western New York, from apples to corn, struggled in the dry heat, grapes, including the three varieties of ice-wine grapes the Schulzes planted, flourished.
"The grapes were just optimal," Ann Schulze said.
Now, all they needed was very cold weather – right around 12 degrees.
The news came about a week ago that temperatures were on their way down, and the Schulzes got the word out that they needed their volunteers to come help them.
At about 7 a.m. Tuesday, as light winds blasted tiny snow flakes in the air, about a dozen of the Schulzes' friends and supporters joined them to gather fruit from three 800-foot-long rows interspersed through the vineyards.
James Tee, one of the volunteers, said there was no denying the cold when they headed out to the vines. But as the crew got to work, hitting the vines and shaking the grapes loose into the netting around the plants, it wasn't as noticeable.
"You get some heat built up pretty quickly," said Tee, who works in the tasting room of another local ice-wine maker, Leonard Oakes.
Tee said it's not uncommon for the small but growing number of wineries in Niagara County to help each other out. A member of the Oakes family is the Schulzes' winemaker, for instance.
It was that same spirit of kinsmanship that brought Bruce Gammack and Ken Urtel out in the cold to help with the harvest.
"We all believe there's a great future for wine culture in Western New York," said Gammack, who is friends with the Schulzes and a fan of their wines. "If it doesn't receive support from people like us, it's not going to get going."
Urtel said it's fun, too, and no big deal to be out in the cold for a couple of hours.
The bowls of hot chili and glasses of ice wine served to the volunteers after the morning harvesting helped warm them up, too.
But that was just part one of what needed to be done Tuesday.
Martin Schulze explained that the grapes that were plucked needed to be pressed. The grapes need to stay frozen for the process – and that was not going be a problem with Tuesday's cold weather.
Schulze operated a giant John Deere tractor, lifting a crate of the freshly picked grapes and maneuvering it over to the wine-making building. From there, he used a smaller forklift to dump the fruit into a large, cylindrical machine. Inside the machine a large air bag slowly and gently expanded, squeezing out the syrupy amber nectar from the grapes.
Schulze scooped up the juice as it rained down into a steel catch basin and poured the liquid into a long tube, lowering a device that measures the sugar content.
"Thirty-one" he said. Not quite high enough, he explained, but he expected higher levels as the pressing went along.
A few minutes later, he tried again. "Thirty-six," he said.
Schulze and his wife's sons stopped the machine and opened it up. The grapes, still frozen, had grouped together. They used oarlike sticks to push the grapes back down so they could be re-pressed.
The machine was started back up again, and more syrup began to trickle down.
Schulze gathered up more of the syrup. It looked clearer now, more golden.
"Forty-four!" he yelled smiling. "No, 43."
But that would do just fine, just the right amount of sugar for good ice wine.
The rest of the grapes would be pressed Tuesday afternoon and then allowed to settle overnight. Then the fermenting process would begin.
Martin Schulze broke out a bottle of his winery's sparkling white wine, poured a drop of the freshly pressed nectar into it and toasted: "To the ice-wine harvest."

From BBQ Wiki
Hang around the professional barbecue circuit long enough and you'll see guys spraying their meats with what looks like a plant mister. What they're doing is spraying apple cider or lemon juice on the meat to baste and sweeten it. You can buy a plastic mister at a hardware store for a couple of dollars. Use it for any water-based basting mixture, from apple cider to Worcestershire sauce. To spray a flavorful coat of extra-virgin olive oil on grilled meats, you'll need a mister with a heavy-duty pump. The best-known brand is Misto, available in housewares and cookware shops.

CONCORD, N.H. – Police chiefs in New Hampshire wanted more money for their youth training program. A youth hockey team in North Dakota needed more ice time.
Both saw the answer as using guns for prizes.
From car dealerships to political parties to hockey teams to, yes, even police chiefs, gun raffles are an attractive way to make money or draw in customers. But in the wake of the deadly shooting rampage in a Connecticut elementary school, and multiple other gun-related homicides in the months since, such raffles are drawing criticism as the ease of obtaining firearms fuels gun-control debates nationwide.
The New Hampshire Association of Chiefs of Police is raffling off a gun every day in May, including a Ruger AR-15-style rifle with 30-round magazine similar to the one used in the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting that killed 20 first-graders and six educators Dec. 14 in Newtown, Conn. The players in West Fargo's Youth Hockey Association will raffle off 200 guns and an all-terrain vehicle next month. Up for grabs are shotguns, handguns hunting rifles and semiautomatic rifles.
Both were planned long before the shooting in Newtown invigorated calls for increased gun control. That didn't stop critics from blasting the raffles as, at best, in poor taste and, at worst, criminal.
John Rosenthal, founder and director of the Massachusetts-based Stop Handgun Violence, called the chiefs' raffle "insane" and "criminally irresponsible."
"In 33 states, including Maine, New Hampshire and Vermont, the winner of this AR-15 can turn around the same day and sell it to anyone without an ID or background check," Rosenthal said. "They should cancel their raffle and give away a nice mountain bike or snowmobile."
Jonathan Lowy, director of the legal action program at the Brady Center to Prevent Gun Violence, said he knows of no state in which such a raffle would be illegal. But "having these gun raffles can trivialize the seriousness of firearms," Lowy said.
In a letter posted on the chiefs association website, Salem Police Chief Paul Donovan extended his sympathies to the families of those killed in Newtown but stressed it and other tragic shootings "are contrary to lawful and responsible gun ownership."
Donovan, who did not respond to interview requests, wrote that the raffle's rules require winners meet all applicable state and federal laws, including background checks. The goal of the raffle – to raise $30,000 to offset the cost of the weeklong police cadet training academy – has already been met. The 1,000 raffle tickets, at $30 apiece, sold out last month.
Three of the guns being raffled off are named on a list of weapons that would be prohibited under a proposed ban introduced by Sen. Dianne Feinstein, D-Calif., in the wake of the Sandy Hook rampage. That proposal would also ban ammunition magazines that hold more than 10 rounds.
While the Newtown shooting has intensified the criticism of the chiefs' raffle, other raffles have had similarly inauspicious timing.
After a 2011 shooting rampage in Arizona wounded then-Rep. Gabrielle Giffords and killed six others, the county Republican Party raffled off a Glock handgun to raise money for voter outreach. Its slogan was "Help Pima GOP get out the vote and maybe help yourself to a new Glock." The interim county GOP chairman said at the time that he didn't think there was anything inappropriate about the promotion.
Missouri State Rep. John McCaherty raised campaign funds last August by raffling off an AR-15 semiautomatic rifle, a month after a similar gun was used in the Aurora, Colo., movie theater shooting that killed 12 people and wounded 58. McCaherty didn't return calls seeking comment.
The owner of an Atlanta-area sporting goods store doesn't understand the outrage.
Last November, Jay Wallace offered anyone who brought their "I Voted" sticker a raffle ticket to win a handgun or rifle from his store, Adventure Outdoors. When Georgia's secretary of state pointed out it's a felony to offer gifts for votes, Wallace opened it up to anyone.
Wallace said the whole thing had been resolved by the time a local state senator filed a complaint about the raffle with the state, setting off a barrage of publicity.
"It was really unbelievable – it made it around the world," he told the Associated Press. "Thousands of people signed up for the raffle. We were really grateful to him."
Wallace said he sees no problem with chiefs of police or anybody else raffling guns.
"It's going to a good cause," Wallace said. "People want a chance to win something that they want. Everybody wins."
Jack Kimball, chairman of Granite State Patriots and organizer of a rally outside the New Hampshire statehouse last month opposing gun control, said it angers him that people are using Sandy Hook and other tragic shootings to bash the New Hampshire chiefs.
"It's hysteria that doesn't belong here," Kimball said. "They shouldn't waver. They should have the raffle."
The gun raffle is the first held by the police chiefs association and could be the last if Robert Sprague gets his way.
The marketing consultant sent 31 emails to Donovan – one for every gun being raffled – before he finally heard back. Although he couldn't stop this year's raffle, Sprague said Donovan seemed open to his offer of help to promote a different kind of fundraiser next year.
"I feel we've made some progress, and that's better than no progress," Sprague said. "I just don't think peace officers should be putting guns on the streets."
Sprague discussed his concerns on WNHN Radio, which began its own campaign in an effort to raise $30,000 for the cadet academy so the association wouldn't have to raffle the guns.
"If we aren't successful, we're going to donate the money to organizations that serve victims of gun violence," station manager Brian Beihl said.
Any ticket-holders disappointed at not winning a firearm in the chiefs association drawing might consider buying a ticket for the Cheshire County Shooting Sports Education Foundation raffle. It'll be raffling off a gun a day in June.
