Tim Loesch is in his third season as head indoor and sand volleyball coach at Stetson University.
In 2013, Loesch helped lead the Hatters to an 18-16 record and the program's first appearance in the Atlantic Sun tournament since 1995. Stetson's nine conference victories broke the school record, and the team's seven-match winning streak was the longest in 27 years. The Hatters also set new rally scoring records for kills (1588), digs, (1849), assists (1487), blocks (225.5), attack percentage (.213), attack attempts (4442) and points (1972.5).
Following the season, Kaley Melville was selected second-team all-conference, and Tiffany Creamer earned all-freshman team honors.
Loesch's first indoor season in fall of 2011 saw the Hatters win nine matches, more than their previous three seasons combined, and claim a pair of A-Sun victories including the first win over FGCU in series history.
Loesch helped launch the Stetson sand volleyball program in 2012, and in just two seasons, has brought the Hatters to the cusp of an Atlantic Sun Conference championship.
The inaugural season was a smashing success as the Hatters recorded a 9-8 overall record with a second place finish in the A-Sun tournament. The season saw Julie Bassett earn A-Sun Freshman of the Year honors with an A-Sun Scholar-Athlete of the Year nod for Katie DiGirolamo, All-Conference Academic honors for DiGirolamo and Alisha Hoffman as well as a berth in the AVCA Collegiate National Championships for Bassett and Kaley Melville.
In 2013, Loesch's Hatters went 13-11 overall and came within two points of capturing the A-Sun Championship. Two pairs were recognized as first-team all-conference performers, Alisha Hoffman and Catherine Coston were named to the all-tournament team, and Katie DiGirolamo and Hoffman earned academic all-conference honors.
Loesch arrived at Stetson from NCAA Division II Limestone College (Gaffney, S.C.) where he served seven seasons as the head coach for their women's volleyball team. He also established the men's varsity volleyball program at Limestone, coaching them to a 12-10 overall record and 4-4 in conference play for their inaugural season. During his tenure, the women's team saw a dramatic turnaround, going from 17-158 before his arrival to a winning record since then. In his last six seasons at Limestone his record was 116-90 overall and 77-39 in conference play, including a regular season conference title and three conference tournament runner-up finishes.
Loesch took over a Limestone squad that had only won five Conference Carolinas matches in its first six years of existence and proceeded to lead the Saints to five consecutive winning seasons and four straight top three finishes in the league. The 2006 Limestone team went 27-9 overall and 18-2 in conference play, earning him Conference Carolinas Coach of the Year honors. During Loesch's tenure, Limestone Volleyball garnered 14 conference Player of the Week awards, 12 All-Conference Carolinas selections and four AVCA All-Region honorees.
A graduate of the University of North Carolina Charlotte, Loesch holds a degree in business administration with magna cum laude honors.

Boise State University – Kellen Moore tossed three touchdown passes, including a 46-yarder on the final play of the first half, to lead No. 7 Boise State to a 36-14 victory over Wyoming Saturday.
After getting off to a sluggish start, Moore and the Broncos (10-1, 5-1) rattled off 36 straight points to put the game away and secure a second-place finish in their first year as a member of the Mountain West Conference.
Moore was 24-of-36 for 279 yards and he threw touchdowns of 17 and 10 yards in the second half.
But it was his last-ditch touchdown toss on the final play of the first half that gave his team the spark it needed. After being flushed from the pocket, Moore rolled left then heaved a pass that was deflected by a Wyoming defender near the goal line and dropped into the hands of Matt Miller to give the Broncos a 13-7 lead.
Wyoming (7-4, 4-2) scored first when linebacker Luke Anderson picked off Moore's pass early in the first quarter and ran 29 yards for a touchdown. The Cowboys were held to 191 total yards and 78 yards passing.

Advanced Monolythic Ceramics has notified the state Department of Labor that it will close its Olean manufacturing plant this summer, affecting 65 employees.
The closing of the Cattaraugus County plant, located on Constitution Avenue, is expected to occur by Aug. 31, according to a notice the company filed with the state on Monday.
The company told the state that work is being consolidated at a site in California, but did not specify where.
The company's corporate parent is Johanson Dielectrics, based in Sylmar, Calif.
An AMC representative who did not give her name said the company would not release further details on Monday.
AMC's website says the company has served the aerospace, biomedical, military, satellite, industrial and communication electronics industries since 1994.
AMC's expertise in the field of military electronics, in particular power conversion equipment, has led to the development of many application-specific solutions, the company says on its website.
The county's director of economic development, planning and tourism could not be reached to comment Monday.

|The trail between Rougemont and the Vanel Bridge is not always cleared meaning that it may be difficult to find in very snowy weather.
During the cold weather, the Pays d'Enhaut plateau in the Vaud Alps is the ideal destination for some carefree hiking fun. Follow the groomed trail along the Sarine and enjoy the winter at its finest – snow-covered alluvial forests line the peacefully murmuring river on whose shady side small rivulets have frozen into bizarrely-shaped ice sculptures. Far from the busy traffic and the ski slopes, you will have now entered a world of soothing solitude where only silence reigns. After setting out from Château d'Oex station, you descend to the Sarine River, which you cross at the Pont Turrian – western Switzerland's oldest suspension bridge. The trail runs along the river through beautiful mixed forest and up to the hamlet of Gérignoz. It then continues in the same direction over snowy meadows towards Rougemont. At the valley station for the Videmanette cable railway, branch off to the left and continue on to the village. Cross the Sarine and, after a short climb, you will reach the route destination at Rougemont station.

The 5 Stupidest Habits You Develop Growing Up Poor
#2. You Become an Obsessive Bean-Counter
When You're Poor ...
Remember that time you were cleaning out your wallet and found an extra $5 bill stuffed inside one of the pockets? Poor people are laughing their asses off right now because I might as well be asking if they remember the time they found an extra minotaur in the kitchen. When you're living check to check, there is no amount of money that isn't accounted for, right down to the last penny. You don't have "about 70 bucks" in the bank. You have $68.17.
You think in exact numbers because, at any given point, you have to know if swiping the debit card for gas will put you into overdraft territory. You have to be able to figure on the spot how much you can spend versus how much you need to survive until the next payday, and even the numbers after the decimal point are important. The simplest miscalculation could mean the difference between an actual dinner or a bowl of McDonald's ketchup packets at the end of the week.
Not bad. But it needs more ketchup.
Paying the bills becomes a work of algebraic artistry as you find out how much they'll take in order to not shut off your gas. Then calculate on the fly the smallest amount of money you need to survive for the next four days, then subtract that from your current bank account, then make adjustments where necessary and eventually arrive at X ... where X equals how much today's bill is going to fuck you for the next three weeks.
Once You Escape ...
You get to a point where you stop worrying about exact numbers, and you start to drift into a place where rounding off the bills and bank account isn't a big deal. But your mind still panics when you realize that you don't know exactly how much money is in your checking. So you'll look it up. Satisfied, you'll put it on the back burner and go on with your day. The next day, you'll find yourself worrying again. So you'll look it up again. After living at my current, normal-person level of income for two years, I'm still doing it.
I constantly have the Home Alone look on my face.
Because of that, you never relax. That constant tension of not knowing how the bills are going to be paid is gone, but it left a comet trail of stress that sticks with you. After beating your ass in the school bathroom, the bully finally left, but not before farting in the room and shoving a chair under the doorknob so you can't get out.
#1. You Only Spend with the Short Term in Mind
When You're Poor ...
You buy exactly what you need, and no more. That six-pack of toilet paper is only three bucks. But there's a sale on the 12-pack for only two dollars more? Fuck that. That's an extra two bucks that I'll need before the week is done. If I watch what I eat, I doubt I'll even have to shit up three of these bad boys.
But that trickles into other things like clothes -- OK, ew. I really need to watch my segues. When I was growing up, most of my clothes were hand-me-downs from my uncles, cousins and dad. When I outgrew them, they went to my brother. Every once in a while -- and we're talking once every year or two -- we'd come up with some extra cash and go clothes shopping, but because it was so out of the norm, it was treated like a big deal. And because of the way it was elevated to a special event, we learned to see it as something extravagant. A luxury that we treated ourselves to on rare occasions.
What we absolutely never did was buy an outfit just because we liked the way it looked. We only bought clothes when the ones we had no longer fit. And sometimes, even that requirement was overlooked for the sake of making sure the lights' "On" switches weren't lying pieces of shit.
Once You Escape ...
I still haven't broken free from that frame of mind. I mean, yes, I keep my kids clothed, because I'm not completely removed from how normal people function. But I still only own four pairs of pants myself, and every time I go out to buy a pair, this weird sense of guilt stops me. A gnat buzzing around my head, telling me, "Are you crazy? You don't need another pair of pants. You do laundry every other day, so you always have clean pants to wear. By the way, if you catch me, you'll be rich because I'm a goddamn talking gnat." And then as I'm frantically swatting the air, a security guard politely asks me to leave. Pantsless.
"No, I'm telling you, it fucking talked!"
This is a problem, because that's actually a very shitty way to manage a budget. You skip over the great 2-for-1 deal on laundry detergent because you're not out of laundry detergent yet. It's kind of opposite of the way we bought food when I was a kid -- where you should be stocking up because buying in bulk is cheaper and the stuff is on sale, you wait until you're scraping the residue off the lid. Then you have to take whatever goddamned price the store gives you that day, because you can't wash your clothes otherwise.
If you think that's a minor thing, realize that you're applying this to everything you buy. You're not buying the dryer because Sears is having their once a year "Get these fucking dryers out of our warehouse 50 percent off sale," but because the dryer that's been making that funny noise for a year and a half finally broke. You have to take the first one you see, at whatever price, because your wet clothes are sitting there getting moldy. That "wait until you're desperate" mindset means your money just doesn't go as far.
It's so incredibly hard to break out of that frame of mind and start thinking long term because of that guilt. Instead of seeing that the two-pack of deodorant saves you a dollar, you instead see one package that's $3 and another that's $5. Three is cheaper than five, so you get that one. Guilt averted. You bought exactly what you needed, and no more.
Man, I can't tell you how many lemons I've fucked myself out of that way.
Being poor is a mindset. And it's one that, if given the chance, will make your ass poor again.

Thursday, May 16, 2013
Next week fans will have the chance to see how fast and how strong the 2013 Patriots' football team may be.
The Fort Dorchester football program will have its Spring Game at 7 p.m. May 21 at Bagwell Stadium. The event will include weight lifting, pass rush and 40-yard dash competitions. It will also include an inter-team scrimmage so the Spring Game offers fans some insight into what roles players may have with the team this fall.
Due to graduation, the Patriots are losing approximately 60 percent of their offensive starters, including their quarterback and both running backs. Spring practice, which opened May 1, is the first chance players have to compete for those positions.
"We have a good group of kids," Fort Dorchester coach Steve LaPrad said. "They are very enthusiastic and practice has gone well. We have a bunch of work to do because we have to replace so many skills players, but its not like we didn't know that was coming so we were already trying to get some guys ready for those positions. We have a very talented group of players who will be juniors next season and I'm excited about some of the players who will move up to varsity. Our B-team was undefeated this season. We think we have some kids coming up from middle school who could also be contributors."
For the first time, this year some of those middle school students will participate in the Spring Game.
The Patriots do have some key players returning. On defense, the front seven pretty much returns intact. The Fort also returns some offensive linemen and receivers with varsity experience, though its top receiver from last season is a senior.

Chefchaouen's Medina is small when compared to others in Morocco, and it is undoubtedly a place to enjoy exploring at random. The architecture has a strong Andalusian character, reflecting the city's history: Sultan Mohammed Ben Abdallah (Mohammed III) ordered the Jewish families to move into the Medina around 1760, their Mellah taking in the area that today encompasses the southern quarter between the kasbah and Bab el Aïn. Here they built their whitewashed ochre houses with small balconies, tiled roofs and Andalusian-style courtyards. It's from this time that Chefchaouen's famous shades of blue arose, the Jews adding indigo into the whitewash to contrast the Mellah against the traditional green of Islam.
The main gateway to the Medina is Bab el Aïn, a tiny arched entrance at the junction of Avenue Hassan II with Rue Moulay Ali Ben Rachid. Through the gate a clearly dominant lane winds up through the Medina to the main square, Plaza Outa el Hammam and beyond to a second, smaller square, Plaza el Makhzen.

Hitting below the belt is a no-no. So four physicians and a dietitian are scheduled to speak Thursday about ways to protect oneself against cancers that strike abdominal organs.
The speakers will address colorectal, bladder, ovarian and prostate cancer at the second Cancer Below the Belt forum at Durango Public Library, 1900 East Third Ave. The forum is programmed from 6:30 to 9 p.m.
Sponsoring the forum are the Man to Man Prostate Cancer Support Group, the American Cancer Society and the Women�s Health Coalition of Southwest Colorado.
Speakers are Dr. Jim Burpee, a semiretired urologist and resource to the Man to Man group; Dr. Patrick Gerstenberger, a gastroenterologist; Dr. Cynthia Cathcart, a medical oncologist and hematologist; Dr. Steven Bush, a radiation oncologist; and Susan Young, a registered dietitian.
Bladder cancer strikes 57 per 100,000 men and 9 per 100,000 women; colorectal cancer strikes 53 men and 40 women per 100,000 people; prostate cancer sooner or later hits one man in six; and the incidence of ovarian cancer is 12.3 per 100,000.
The American Institute for Cancer Research recommends physical activity, weight control, a sensible diet and eschewing tobacco in any form.
Institute experts estimate that overall, about one-third of the 1.5 million cases of cancer that are diagnosed every year in the United States could be prevented by following its guidelines.
The speakers Thursday will focus on prevention of cancer.
When cancer strikes, three ad hoc organizations in Durango are available to provide information, advice from cancer survivors and morale support to people actively battling cancer and people who have been through the mill. They don�t dispense medical advice.
In addition to the Man to Man group, they are the Women�s Cancer Support Group facilitated by Joanna Logston and the American Cancer Society Cancer Support group facilitated by Carol McGuire, which brings together caregivers as well as cancer survivors. McGuire�s group is geared toward adults.
�I see Man to Man as a way for newly diagnosed men to talk to guys who have been down the road,� facilitator Larry Zauberis said. �It can lower the emotional impact and allow them to focus on the treatment they need.
�A newly diagnosed guy doesn�t know what to expect, none of which may sound all that great,� Zauberis said. �The support group shows him that there is life after cancer.�
McGuire�s group welcomes people with brand new diagnoses and people who have been attending monthly meetings for five years. She tries to schedule a speaker quarterly.
�People who have just received a diagnosis of cancer can see it�s not all a bad experience,� McGuire said. �They find that people who have been in their shoes are good listeners.
�It also takes some of the burden off family members,� McGuire said. �This is a big factor.�
Logston said her group is unaffiliated. Members meet quarterly with no fixed schedule at a restaurant to keep up with one another, she said.
�We�re all survivors who formed an ad hoc group that�s been around at least a couple of decades,� Logston said. �It�s important to be able to talk to people who have had the same experience.�
A bout with cancer leaves an indelible impression, she said.
�There was no group like ours at the time,� Logston said. �I joined because I wanted to talk about feelings not generally accepted � about emotional and personal issues.�

Review: Green Day's 'Dos!' a jolt of fun and surprises
What a difference a year — and an onstage outburst — make.
Near the beginning of 2012, the commercial rock world was abuzz with news of Green Day's forthcoming trio of studio albums. On a winning streak that included the hit Broadway musical "American Idiot" and the double whammy of studio albums "American Idiot" and "21st Century Breakdown," the band had announced that the records, called "Uno!" "Dos!" and "Tre!," would arrive over a four-month period at the end of the year.
Video teasers and carefully timed press releases arrived, part of a keen marketing plan that blanketed America with pasteboard posters and Web images of the band's Billie Joe Armstrong, Mike Dirnt and Tre Cool virtually jumping out of the screen. Then, mere days before "Uno!" came out, Armstrong threw a tantrum at a Clear Channel-sponsored Las Vegas promotional concert, bad-mouthed set time restrictions, smashed his guitar and stormed offstage.
The band quickly apologized to Clear Channel and its fans, and soon thereafter announced Armstrong's entry into rehab — where he remains. Two weeks ago Green Day canceled its scheduled live performances, postponed its 2013 tour and pushed up the release date of "Tre!" by nearly a month, to Dec. 11. What once felt like the beginning of a new Green Day now seems like something it just wants to get over with.
Into this chaos comes "Dos!," which is being released Tuesday. The good news is that it's a far better record than "Uno!" In fact, it's an excellent Green Day album — one of its best — a catchy, revealing work that surprises with its willingness to explore ideas that the band members may not have invented, but which, fed through Green Day's filter, become theirs. Like its predecessor, "Dos!" was recorded by the band with longtime producer (and Warner Bros. Records CEO) Rob Cavallo. Unlike it, "Dos!" contains a rap song.
The adventure on "Dos!" is great news, considering that when "Uno!" was released on Sept. 25, it landed with a thud. The record felt like a bottle rocket when we were promised Roman candles, a work whose biggest surprise was how unsurprising it felt.

Sil Dan wanted his son, Nathan, to play for the best high school coach in the area but his family lived in North Tonawanda. So Dan put his house on the market, rented a duplex on Sweet Home Road in Amherst and his son played for Reggie Witherspoon.
"There's no one, as far as a father's standpoint, you want your son to play for because he teaches them more than basketball when it's all said and done," Dan said. "I've never hedged on that decision ever."
For three decades, Witherspoon was a local basketball institution. After his run at Sweet Home High in the early 1990s, he found success at Erie Community College before landing his dream job at the University at Buffalo. On Friday, following his first losing season since 2008, Witherspoon was fired from UB after 14 seasons and the decision sent shockwaves through the area.
"This is a loss to the entire Western New York community," Niagara Falls coach Sal Constantino said. "He's been good to the entire Western New York hoops community. This floors me."
The news came after the Bulls were eliminated by Kent State from the Mid-American Conference Tournament on Thursday to finish the season with a 14-20 overall record.
"The rest of the league is probably happy today because they don't have to play against him anymore," said former Canisius College assistant coach Rob Norris, now an assistant women's coach at Eastern Michigan. "He was one of the three most respected coaches in the MAC."
But he was probably more respected away from basketball.
"I love him as a man," said Rob Lanier, the Buffalo native who is now an assistant at Texas. "I got to know Reggie before I got married and became a father. I didn't grow up with my dad in the house so there were certain people I looked up to as a husband and as a man and as a father and he was one of those people I looked up to."
Said Constantino: "I had three kids who played for me play under Reggie and they all walked out with their degree. He did exactly what he said he'd do, he tried to make them better basketball players, better people and make sure they got their degree and they all did."
In a day and age where coaches keep outsiders at arm's length, Witherspoon was engaging with everyone he came in contact with, which made him unique, almost as rare as the way he arrived at UB.
He was hired away from ECC in the middle of the 1999-2000 season after heavy NCAA sanctions were levied against the program under the watch of coach Tim Cohane. Given the job on an interim basis, Witherspoon's first game was against North Carolina, which featured Joseph Forte, Brendan Haywood and future All-Pro defensive end Julius Peppers.
His next game was against Bob Knight and Indiana.
Witherspoon went 3-20 his first season but had the interim tag removed and was given a contract worth $70,000.
"He took over a program in disarray and did a nice job getting them on track," said Medaille coach Mike MacDonald, the former Canisius coach. "It's an unyielding business and it's very tough to maintain at the mid-major level but I thought he did a great job."
It was a painful process rebuilding the program during the probation years and the Bulls won just 21 games from 2000-03. But in 2001 he signed a recruiting class featuring top 100 player Turner Battle, a classic point guard who spearheaded the program to new heights. Eventually, Witherspoon's team earned a reputation for being hard-nosed, physical and disciplined.
"I thought he was an exceptional coach who I never enjoyed facing," said Fordham assistant Tom Parrotta, the former Canisius coach. "His teams were always prepared and he was one of the toughest to prepare for."
Said Niagara coach Joe Mihalich: "His teams were hard to score on and it was hard to guard them. That league is a great basketball league but it's an unknown league. Those teams are good and he did a great job."
Witherspoon avoided firings at least twice while at UB. In 2003-04, the Bulls were 5-9 and 1-5 in the MAC when then-interim AD Bill Maher considered making a change at the end of the season. The Bulls won 12 of their remaining 15 games to finish 17-12. After a 77-49 win over Ohio University, then-Bobcats coach Tim O'Shea said UB was one of the top 25 teams in the country.
Warde Manuel, the former UB athletic director, spoke with Witherspoon about his displeasure with the direction of the program after back-to-back losing seasons in 2007 and 2008. The next season Witherspoon went 21-12, tied for his only MAC East Division title and played in the College Basketball Invitational.
Manuel, now the AD at Connecticut, declined comment for this story.
Coaches are defined by NCAA appearances and in 14 seasons Witherspoon came close only twice, losing in the MAC Tournament championship in 2005 and 2009. He tied for a divisional title only once and made one appearance in the National Invitation Tournament, two in the CollegeInsider.com tournament and one in the CBI.
The alphabet soup tournaments are nice, but getting to the NCAAs is another matter. As one coach put it, "the space between the halo and noose are only inches apart."
"Some of it is luck," MacDonald said. "The hump is a lot bigger than people realize."
There were also lingering questions about Witherspoon and his staff's recruiting acumen.
"The resources there were a lot greater than what the result was," said Mickey Walker, a Syracuse-based AAU program director for 31 years.
"He wasn't a guy who did a lot of self-promotion, they weren't visible recruiting and the administration was probably willing to blame him instead of looking at their shortcomings and a lot of decisions that they've made."
But the Witherspoon era will not soon be forgotten.
"What's he guilty of? Absolutely nothing but maybe a few misfortunes," Dan said. "He ran a great program, there was no garbage there and he graduated his players. But the nature of the business is what it is."

For the third time in three weeks, a person has admitted stealing a big chunk of money from an elderly person.
This time, a Bassett Manor administrator stole more than $110,000 from a 69-year-old resident of the Amherst assisted-living and retirement home, prosecutors said Monday.
Charmesa Brown, 40, of Linda Drive, Cheektowaga, pleaded guilty to second-degree grand larceny for writing checks to herself from the victim's account between October 2010 and July 2012.
The resident's credit union alerted authorities after spotting so many checks made out to Brown, said Assistant District Attorney Candace K. Vogel, who specializes in cases of financial abuse of the elderly.
Each check was for thousands of dollars.
Brown would prepare a check to the facility for the victim to sign but also prepare another check that she would cash for herself, Vogel said.
"Sadly, financial elder abuse is becoming more frequent in Erie County and across New York State," said Erie County District Attorney Frank A. Sedita III, who was recently selected as co-chairman of a state task force on white-collar crime.
"Not only will my office continue to aggressively prosecute those who prey upon our senior citizens in Buffalo and Erie County, but I will also endeavor to make the aggressive prosecution of these contemptible crooks a top priority of the New York White- Collar Crime Task Force."
Bassett Manor has approached or will approach the victim's family about covering her loss, Vogel said.
"She should get most of it back," she said.
Brown's guilty plea followed two others in recent weeks in cases of financial abuse of the elderly.
Last week, Richard Kesick, 57, of Laird Avenue, admitted telling lies for years and even impersonating a judge over the telephone to steal more than $500,000 from a 91-year-old Catholic priest.
On Oct. 17, Pamela M. Blood, 56, a paralegal at Hiscock & Barclay's Buffalo offices, admitted stealing more than $311,000 from a 77-year-old heiress.
Blood, who was hired to help keep track of the woman's finances, wrote checks from the widow's accounts to herself for more than seven years.
Prosecutors on Monday said Brown had agreed to assist the Bassett Manor victim, who did not have family members in the area, in writing checks to the facility to cover her bills.
But Brown also wrote checks to herself and spent the money on herself, Vogel said.
Brown pleaded guilty to second-degree grand larceny and offering a false instrument for filing in the first-degree before Erie County Judge Thomas P. Franczyk.
Assistant District Attorney Gary M. Ertel said the false-filing charge was lodged because Brown did not report the stolen money when she filled out her state income tax return.
Brown faces a minimum prison sentence of one to three years and a maximum of five to 15 years on the grand larceny count, or the judge could sentence her to five years' probation. She also faces up to four years in prison on the false-filing count.
Altogether, Brown faces up to 19 years in state prison when sentenced Feb. 1.
Franczyk did not commit to any sentence for Brown, a single mother of a teenage daughter. He said he wants to read her presentence report and hear from prosecutors and her defense lawyer, Kevin Spitler. "There will be an order of restitution," he said.
If she is sentenced to prison on the two counts, the terms would likely run at the same time, the judge told her. He said he would lean toward the minimum prison term. He allowed her to remain free on her own recognizance.

VIENNA, 8 March 2011 – The Director-General of the United Nations Industrial development Organization (UNIDO), Kandeh K. Yumkella, said today that women in developing countries could further contribute to economic growth but need access to knowledge, credit, markets, and energy.
Speaking on the occasion of the International Women's Day, Yumkella urged to focus on the MDG goal on promoting gender equality and empowerment of women due to its cross-cutting nature.
"Countries that eliminate gender disparities in primary and secondary education will indirectly accelerate progress toward reducing poverty, hunger, maternal mortality, and improving child health. If women are able to access credit to invest in business ventures, markets to sell their products, knowledge to expand their businesses, diversify and undertake value addition, they will be in a position to better contribute to economic growth and development," he said.
For this year's 100th anniversary of International Women's Day, the United Nations has chosen to focus on the theme "Equal access to education, training and science and technology: Pathway to decent work for women".
"UNIDO provides women in developing and transition countries with knowledge, skills and technologies to enable them to engage in productive activities. Our overall mandate focuses on promoting industrial development for poverty reduction, inclusive globalization and environmental sustainability. This cannot be achieved without taking into account the full economic potential of women – half of the world's population," said Yumkella.
"Employment is the most important link between economic growth and poverty reduction. Providing income earning opportunities for poor women is crucial to overcoming poverty. Industry has the potential to offer the necessary jobs and opportunities."
An ongoing UNIDO project in the southern part of Mali is helping women produce shea butter, a product popular in cosmetics due to its organic and healthy nature, by introducing technologies to increase productivity, training on quality control systems, product certification and marketing, and establishing links to international markets. Over 1000 women have already benefited from this project. A joint venture company has been set-up between the women's groups and a French cosmetics company, with an order to produce 40 tons of soap-based products this year alone.
UNIDO's Entrepreneurship Curriculum Programme offers entrepreneurship courses to young boys and girls in secondary and vocational schools in the developing countries, including in Angola, Cameroon, Mozambique, Namibia, Timor-Leste, and Uganda.
A joint programme between UNIDO and HP called the Graduate Entrepreneurship Training through IT or GET-IT, is addressing the high youth unemployment rates in Africa. GET-IT courses teach young women and men the basics of entrepreneurship with practical experience in the use of computer technology, and in areas such as finance, management, and marketing.
Yumkella, who chairs both UN-Energy and the UN Secretary-General's Advisory Group on Energy and Climate Change (AGECC), called for consolidated efforts to raise awareness on the crucial role energy access has for sustainable development. "Energy is central to sustainable development and is linked to a number of major global challenges, including poverty, security and climate change. Energy is a basic requirement, yet almost three billion people in the world today rely on traditional solid fuels for cooking and heating. Over one and a half billion have no access to electricity," he said.
"Without energy, small and medium enterprises cannot function at maximum capacity. Without energy, industry cannot survive. Without energy, women and girls will continue to spend long hours looking for fuel sources, and will not have jobs."
The year 2012 has been designated by the UN as the International Year for Sustainable Energy for All.
Yumkella said that off-grid energy sources will allow women to further pursue education, as well as economic opportunities. In Kenya, UNIDO has helped develop a zero-emission renewable energy Community Power Centre, which uses micro hydropower to generate electricity, and promote the use of light emitting diode (LED) lamps as a replacement for kerosene lamps. The energy goes to a village power centre that also acts as a community development centre. Estimates suggest that ten such centers would offset approximately 5,000 tons of greenhouse gas emissions per year, and reduce the costs associated with importing 1.5 million liters of diesel every year.
The centre also acts as a source of energy for small-scale women entrepreneurs engaged in micro industries such as soap processing, fruit juice making and a maize meal. The project is now being replicated in a number of other districts in Kenya.
UNIDO was also one of the founding partners of the Global Alliance for Clean Cookstoves, which aims to improve livelihoods, empower women in developing countries, and combat climate change by creating a thriving global market for clean and efficient household cooking solutions. The initiative was launched last year by U.S. Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton.
Exposure to smoke from traditional cookstoves and open fires, which is the primary means of cooking and heating for nearly three billion people in the developing world, causes 1.9 million premature deaths an¬nually, with women and young children the most affected.
A statement by the Director-General on the occasion of the International Women's Day is available here

Offer sheets just don't work. Penner only "worked" because the Ducks didn't have cap space, and he ended up underachieving in Edmonton. They traded him for less than they gave up in compensation.
The Vanek deal was the equivalent of almost $10M/yr with today's cap. He scored 43g/84p as a 22/23 year old, and has never got back to a point/game since, and scored less than 30g two of the last three years.
If you look at the great NHL players in history, most of their production is in their mid-twenties. Rarely do they match their earlier performance once they hit 30 years of age. So why do teams throw so much money to 28 and 29 year olds? Statistics show players are most productive at 23 to 26 years of age. For example, Wayne Gretzky's best years were between 20 through 24. Steve Yzerman's most productive years were at ages 24 through 28. Brendan Shanahan's most productive years were at age 24 and 25. Mark Messier's most productive years were ages 22 through 31.

It is encouraged that those who attend should craft a mask intended to scare off Old Man Winter. Many participants spend days designing their masks out of paper mache to wear for the candlelight parade and masked ball.
"Many people come year after year and some come from afar just to see what it is all about," Helvetia resident Eleanor Betler said.
The masked ball square dance will get underway around 9 p.m. and begin with the judging of costumes. Admission charge for the dance is $10 for adults and $5 for those of ages 17 to 11. Those 10 and younger are free. Traditional Appalachian music will be provided by the Helvetia Star Band. All dances are beginner friendly and open to all ages.
"Sometimes local yodelers and singers will do a few numbers. You never know what you may experience at a square dance these days," said Betler.
Like many residents, Betler will prepare for the celebration by making deep fried treats of Hosablatts, donuts and Rosettes to supply the table at the dance.
"It is custom to eat rich foods before lent begins," she said.
The Hutte Restaurant will feature a traditional Swiss sampler plate special during the day. They will offer marinated chicken, bratwurst, sausage in tomato and wine sauce, parsleyed potatoes, sauerkraut, green beans, homemade bread and butter, curried pineapple, cheese and peach cobbler for the cost of $17. Food will be on a first come, first serve basis.
After an evening of square dancing, music and merriment, the fiddler will announce that it is time to burn Old Man Winter. The effigy of Old Man Winter is then torn down from above the dance floor and thrown into the bonfire, showing that it is time for winter to end.
The Helvetia Restoration and Development Organization sponsors this event. For more information, visit www.helvetiawv.com.

The older, the spicierIt takes time for Sbrinz AOP to develop its full flavour, a lot of time. Aging takes a minimum of 18 months; the more mature the cheese, the more aromatic and spicy its taste.
VersatileSbrinz AOP is the only Swiss cheese that may be savoured in three different ways. From the age of 18 months it can be sliced into wafer-thin curls. From the age of 24 months, broken into chunks with a Sbrinz chisel, it makes the perfect accompaniment to an aperitif, and will enhance any cheese platter. When grated, its spicy aroma adds the perfect finishing touch to many dishes. Sbrinz AOP is exceptionally versatile.
Sbrinz Route: on the trail of the tradersA fascinating historic trail leads through pristine scenery along a route used since ancient times by muleteers, traders, craftsmen, pilgrims and smugglers. The muleteers whose job it was to carry vital provisions across the Alps were expert at devising the most efficient way to cross from one valley to the next. The Sbrinz Route came about as the shortest direct crossing through the Alps between Lucerne and Domodossola. It was named after the celebrated cheese, which was once transported along this trail in large quantities for trading.

The official start to the Stetson men's basketball season is still two weeks away, but the Hatters will open preseason competition on Saturday with the first of two home exhibitions. The Spartans will challenge Stetson at 1:00 p.m. at the Edmunds Center.
Having started practices nearly a month ago, the Hatters are ready to take on somebody other than themselves for the first time this season. Head Coach Corey Williams and the new staff have prepared Stetson for the 2013-14 season, and the Hatters will have two dress rehearsals before starting the regular season. After Saturday's game Stetson will host Palm Beach Atlantic on Monday, Nov. 4 at 7:00 p.m.
An NCAA Division II member, Tampa went 17-14 overall last season, but finished just 3-13 in the Sunshine State Conference. The Spartans return one of their two primary scorers from a year ago in Da'Markco Foster. The 6-3 guard led Tampa with 15.9 points per game on 40.8 percent shooting from the field, and added 80 assists.
Admission to Saturday's game will be free for all fans in attendance. Those unable to make it out to the Edmunds Center can watch the game on HatterVision with Robbie Aaron on the call. Live Stats, the @StetsonMBB Twitter feed, and Hat-Alerts are also available for in-game updates.

Bars & Bar Carts
When it comes to entertaining at home, having a bar is a huge advantage. It provides a place to store liquor, glasses and other barware while adding a touch of elegance to the room. At Pottery Barn, we have a full selection of all types of bars and bar carts to meet your entertaining needs.
For a traditional look in a man cave or basement set aside purely for entertainment, look for a traditional design like our Chesterfield bar. On the front it features leather tufted panels and an iron foot rail where guests can place their feet while you serve drinks. The back is full of shelves and drawers to hold ice buckets, glasses, mixers and liquor bottles, and it even includes a lazy Susan for easy access to ingredients. The bar from our Saxton Collection features ample space to store multiple wine bottles and stemware racks, and it includes two larger cabinets with shelves to hold bigger serving pieces. Glass doors make for a beautiful presentation, and the large countertop has plenty of room for ice buckets and punch bowls.
Build your own custom bar with our Modular Collection. Mix and match pieces like the tall hutch with the buffet that includes a wine rack until you get the design you want. For a bar that lets you serve your friends drinks in any room in the house, consider a bar cart. They store easily in a closet but offer shelves to hold ice buckets, glasses and mixers so guests can have drinks indoors or outside. Available in a variety of styles, bar carts offer convenience, especially when space is limited. Instead of going out for drinks, make your own with a bar setup at home.

Absolutely amazing! My husband and I stayed for 2 nights at this adorable cottage. Hosts Christie and Stan have thought of everything imaginable! The cottage, along with the entire property, is immaculately decorated and groomed. We thoroughly enjoyed sitting on the screened in porch watching the birds and just soaking up the peacefulness of this place. We rowed in the paddle boat and took strolls around the property. Soaked in the bubbles of the hot tub located on the screened in porch. This truly is a peace of heaven for all to enjoy!

This is a great place. Stayed there in July and the weather was absolutely perfect. The cabin is very cozy. Loved it. The property is beautiful- green - green - green everywhere, just what we wanted. The owners were great.
4,4 en diciembre 04, 2012
If you want a quite, peaceful, serene place to go and get away from your busy life, this is the place. Cute cabin and the porch with rockers had a beautiful view. My best friend and I had a girl's weekend. A little R & R and a little shopping. And Christie the owner was so nice, we felt like we had known her for ever. We can't wait to go back!

Quiet, peacefulness, and beauty. What a sweet stay for us as we enjoyed this precious cabin and beauty that surrounds it. Thank you Christie and Stan for creating such a "sweet haven" and giving us a the gift of a much needed rest. We will be back!!! Teresa and Keith from Houston :)
4,6 en septiembre 07, 2012
My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed the delightful setting here. "Fair Breeze" is an apt name, as the breeze gently flowed through the cabin throughout our stay. Thank you, Cooks, for sharing what God has graced your with - not just the peaceful, pastoral setting, but the kindess of heart and openess with which you relate. God will continue to bless your faithfulness to your calling.
4,6 en julio 30, 2012
This is a great place for a romantic getaway or a relaxing time away from day-to-day busy life. We had a great time and liked the fact that it was the only cottage. We hiked the nature trails and sat on the front porch and watched a lightning storm. We will definitely be back.
5 en abril 26, 2012
What a PHENOMENAL recharge weekend! Arrived Friday afternoon and enjoyed the rain falling softly on the tin roof accompanied by birds singing praise - a perfect way to usher in the weekend. I thoroughly enjoyed my time on the porch! The wooded trails are wide and well maintained - even after the rain the trails were easy to navigate - an adventure nature lovers and novices must experience. The cottage was very clean and definitely met all my needs. Stan and Christie (owners) were readily available, but provide complete privacy for their guests. The property is close to town, so you're only minutes away if you're in the mood to eat out, shop, or enjoy the sites. Bountiful blessings - I will definitely return for another visit!!!!!

Grantham heads up all-state selections
March 24, 2013
MARTINSBURG — Woodrow Wilson's Donte Nabors really couldn't help it. He was born with a legacy tag, with a name that is basketball royalty in Beckley, a city where hoops is kin....
How does the best team in the state get less members on the all state team then the team they beat (Woodrow Wilson)? Just asking.

Something new, please... or at least something that hasn't been seen in a while.
Bond girl, Ave Maria, Firebird, Rach II, Swan Lake, Gershwin's "American Airlines Suite"... please, please, NO.
And I'd take Guns 'n Roses before I'd watch another Carmen program.
Has anyone of note skated to Bach since K/P? Or to Mendelssohn since Lu Chin? I can't recall.
I like the soundtrack from Chicago for the SD. The overture has a great Charleston (thinking Davis/White as they do a great Charleston), Razzle/Dzzle for the Foxtrot and All that Jazz for the Quickstep.
Liza should skate to Czardas, it's Russian folk music but peppy and fast-paced, it would be a nice change of pace for her! Some happy skating!
I want Jason Brown to skate to Riverdance, THAT would be interesting I think.
Pogorilaya should have a tango program, loved her EX at JW and the costume, she is so expressive and fiery!
Adelina...I don't know, just not Burlesque or Aguilara, please.
Julia I am expecting her to skate a Tchaikovsky or Khachaturian musics
also Malanguena I think would do well for her
Gracie needs an modern/upbeat SP and classical LP
Liza will probably keep in Tango musics she looks bored and lobed when skating to classical musics
I like Yuna's current LP
I would like Hanyu to skate to this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nr8jrP8VoD4
I think Les Supremes did it in '11 for their SP: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DEUh3knkAM4
I would also love if someone had to do a Romeo & Juliet theme: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HC6utNzmvqA
The German or French pairs to use this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OnwxXNfdsxU
One of the ladies or US pair to use this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QgaTQ5-XfMM
Katelyn to use this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GLpmaWEUobI
I half expect Mao to choose Rach music, most likely Piano Concerto No. 2.
I never expected myself to ever say this, but I would love to see Mao skate to Madame Butterfly. I don't like the story at all, but the music is undeniably glorious and I think Mao now would be able to rise above the potential triteness of the selection and make it memorable.
So, this is gonna come out of left field... but after watching Javier, am I crazy to think that he could pull off "One Jump" from Aladdin as a Short Program? I mean I swear its right up his alley. (I suppose he could do an Exhibition to it, since it may not be well recieved by the judges as a Short, but I think it's totally suitable as a stand alone Short: fast-paced, tells a little vignette.... and its called One Jump, for crying out loud!
Aladdin worked fairly well for Ilia Kulik (second place to Todd Eldredge and ahead of Rudy Galindo in third at the 1996 Worlds). Or you could say that it worked poorly, since he didn't beat Todd.
If you have IN, it is probably there. However, none of these sound like Riverdance. Perhaps it was a gala program?

Dallas Fed's Southwest Economy: Severe drought hurt U.S. economic growth in 2012
Severe drought not only depressed the nation's farm output, but hurt U.S. economic growth in 2012, according to an article in the latest edition of the Federal Reserve Bank of Dallas' Southwest Economy publication.
Sharply lower farm inventories subtracted 0.2 percentage points and 0.4 percentage points from already weak real GDP growth in the second and third quarters of 2012, Dallas Fed associate economist Emily Kerr said in her article.
Nearly two-thirds of the contiguous United States was in drought as of October, with the Great Plains being hardest hit. In 2011, 30 percent of the 48 contiguous states was in drought, which was confined to the Southwest.
Texas, with more acreage dedicated to farming than any other state, has seen two straight years of drought conditions.
However, Texas experienced worse conditions in 2011, the state's driest year since records began in 1895. Last year, drought affected two-thirds of the state.
Agricultural losses in Texas were estimated at a record $7.6 billion in 2011, far exceeding the previous record of $4.1 billion in 2006. Most of those losses came from livestock ($3.2 billion) and cotton ($2.2 billion), the state's two largest crops.
Texas boasts the nation's largest cattle industry, generating more than $11 billion in annual farm sales, or half of the state's total farm sales. The state produces 30 percent of U.S. cotton crop and is the top cotton-exporting state.

Wando Warriors basketball continued its march through the non-conference slate Friday with a 61-33 road win over the James Island Charter Trojans.
Wando (5-0) grabbed control early off the hot shooting of senior guard Andrew Glover and a stifling 2-2-1 defensive press. Glover dropped in seven points in the first quarter to help the Warriors outscore the Trojans 19-8 in the opening frame.
"Our press forced a lot of turnovers early in the game, which gave us a lot of early shots," Wando head coach David Eaton said. "I thought we did a good job of setting a lot of screens for our shooters. We did a great job of communicating defensively and didn't let them take a lot of shots without our hands in their face."
The Warriors defense limited the Trojans to just 14 second-half points while Jamez Rogers and Matt Pegram paced the offense. Wando put the game away early in the fourth quarter with a 10-0 to through the opening minutes. Rogers finished with 18 points and five rebounds, while Pegram turned in 14 points and grabbed 11 rebounds.
"(Pegram) was just scoring at will for a while there. He has a way of just wearing teams down," Eaton said. "Jamez and Amp (Moore) started driving inside and finishing their shots. We were just plugging away at the end of the game."
The Warriors look to keep their perfect start intact Friday as they return home to host the Northwood Academy Chargers at 8:30 p.m.
"I'm very pleased with how we're doing right now," Eaton said. "I never go into the season thinking about wins and losses but I'm not surprised we're winning right now because I know what these guys are capable of. We still have some things we need to work on and we need to keep getting better to keep this up, but right now, I'm proud of how we've started the season."
Lady Warriors fall
The Wando Lady Warriors continue their search for the first win of the season after a 34-19 loss at James Island Charter.
Wando (0-4) fell into an early 17-4 hole through the first quarter and entered halftime trailing 27-12. The Lady Warriors turned up their defense in the second half, limiting James Island to just seven points but could only generate seven themselves.
Kimberly Smalls finished with a team-high seven points, seven rebounds, two steals and block for Wando, while Courtney Wood added six points and steal.
Wando hosts Northwood Friday at 7 p.m.

Based on the best-selling book by Nicholas Kristof and Sheryl WuDunn, the new series Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide introduces Mendes and other stars, including America Ferrera, Diane Lane, Meg Ryan, Gabrielle Union and Olivia Wilde to women and girls living under difficult circumstances, ranging from maternal death to prostitution.
Mendes, 38, kicks off the four-hour series – airing Oct. 1 and 2 at 9 p.m. ET on PBS – with her visit to Sierra Leone, where she meets with activist Amie Kandeh, a survivor of gender-based violence working with the International Rescue Committee to help other survivors toward safe, productive futures.
"I knew I was in for a life-changing experience," Mendes says of participating in the project.
"This experience has profoundly affected me," she says. "I was so shocked and saddened to learn the extent of gender-based violence taking place in Sierra Leone every day and that trip has made me want to be a part of the solution."
See Mendes meet and exchange necklaces with Fulumatu, a young girl who bravely pressed charges against her rapist in the clip below.

When Mazen M. Abdallah went missing after picking up a customer Wednesday morning, other cabbies who regularly work the Buffalo airport set out looking for him in the Bailey-Kensington neighborhood.
Just before 7 a.m., one of them found his cab. The 55-year-old Palestinian native was dead in the back seat with a bullet in his head.
Homicide detectives who answered the call found the 700 block of Norfolk Avenue already crowded with more than 20 cabbies who openly wept and consoled each other over the death of Abdallah, who was loved by his co-workers and the customers he drove.
"Mazen was a person who talked to everybody and they were always happy when they had spoken with him. He had customers who would request him as their cab driver," said taxi driver Lukhvin "Lucky" Singh.
Abdallah had started his shift at about 4 a.m. and was delivering his first fare of the day to Bailey-Kensington when he stopped answering the dispatcher's two-way radio calls, co-workers said.
"Everybody was looking for him in the early morning. It was so sad. I'm so upset. Everybody is," cab driver Alex Agha said. "Mazen was such a nice guy."
Police believe the killer or killers shot and robbed him.
Then they placed Abdallah in the back seat of the white 2006 Lincoln Town Car, part of Airport Taxi's fleet, and taken to Norfolk Avenue, where the cab was parked just south of Kensington Avenue.
Buffalo Chief of Detectives Dennis J. Richards, at a news conference Wednesday in Niagara Square, said investigators are trying to piece together Abdallah's whereabouts from 5 a.m. to the time his cab was found on Norfolk.
The identification number on the exterior of the cab was "57," Richards said, hoping that information might stir a recollection from someone in the community. Anyone with information, the chief said, was asked to call or text the department's confidential TIPCALL Line, 847-2255.
"It looks like it was robbery," Richards said, and police believe it was random.
The tears and anxiety of Abdallah's fellow cab drivers continued throughout Wednesday as they gathered in the break room of their dispatch building at Buffalo Niagara International Airport in Cheektowaga to watch television news updates.
One of their own was gone, and they once again were confronted with the fact that driving a cab is hazardous work.
"Two years ago, I was driving a customer down to Jamestown and after I got off the Thruway, the customer put a shoelace around my neck and started choking me," said Ibrahim Amin. "I crashed and got into a fight with the guy and held him for the police. He's in prison until 2018 and I have a lifetime order of protection against him."
Eleven years ago, just before Abdallah joined Airport Taxi, he owned a deli on Walden Avenue, where he was shot in the right leg during a stick-up involving three robbers.
One of the robbers accidentally shot himself in the foot and police were able to follow bloody footprints to a Sweet Avenue home where the men were arrested. The man who shot Abdallah was sentenced to 25 years to life in prison.
"He had a brush with death back then. He talked about it with me," a fellow cab driver said, shaking his head over the violence his friend suffered then and now.
A woman in the Bailey-Kensington neighborhood told The Buffalo News she considered herself fortunate to be alive after having what she believes was a close encounter with those responsible for killing Abdallah.
"I got here around 5:30 a.m., and two men were walking away from the cab, headed up the street, as I parked my car directly in front of the taxi," the woman said, requesting that her name be withheld.
She said she did not hear gunfire and that bolstered the belief that Abdallah was killed elsewhere and then driven to Norfolk.
"I spoke with the cab dispatcher who found him. He and the other cab drivers had all been out looking for him. It was a horrible thing. I can't get this out of my head. Those two guys could have stopped and killed me," she said.
Tania Wimes said she was shocked that the shooters abandoned the cab in front of her family's house. "This is crazy. This type of stuff usually doesn't happen in our neighborhood," Wimes said.
The 700 block of Norfolk is filled with modest, well-kept homes, where the most exciting thing in the early morning is usually children waiting to board buses for school. On Wednesday, with all of the emergency vehicles and many cabs filling the street, schoolchildren had to be picked up on a nearby street.
Other Norfolk neighbors wanted Abdallah's family to know that they were praying for them. "If you want to rob him, just rob him, don't kill him. This is pointless," a neighbor said.
Last Dec. 11, a dozen blocks away on Minnesota Avenue, a woman cab driver and her boyfriend were killed as they sat in her cab in front of their home. Someone approached the vehicle in the early-morning hours and riddled it with bullets. The case remains unsolved and police believe the couple had been targeted.
Murders of cab drivers in metro Buffalo are infrequent, though they often are targeted for robberies because crooks know they have cash. Police say they pay special attention to cab drivers and fast food delivery workers for exactly that reason.
Agha, a close friend of Abdallah, said that on Tuesday night they were watching a soccer game on the television in the cab company's break room.
"I was rooting for my team from Madrid and they were losing. I was so upset and Mazen said to me, 'Alex, there's a half hour left. Take it easy. We're going to win.' He came back later and asked who won and I said our team. He said, 'Alex, I'm happy for you. Thank God.' We joked for a little while and then he left early. Then today, he is dead. Life is too short," Agha said.
Stories like that demonstrated how close-knit the cab driver community is.
Not only were cabbies in large numbers on Norfolk Avenue as detectives processed the crime scene, but dozens of them showed up at Abdallah's West Side home to comfort his brothers and other relatives.
"We came here 35 years ago from Palestine," one of Abdallah's brothers said of the family's quest to make a better life in the United States.
Another brother said, "We appreciate the concerns and prayers of others."
An American citizen, Abdallah was not married and did not have children, according to co-workers.
A service is set for 1:30 p.m. today in the Masjid An-Noor mosque on Heim Road in Getzville.
Offering a final word on Abdallah at Airport Taxi's dispatch center was the company's owner:
"He worked for me 11 years and he was a beautiful man," Gianfranco Onorati said.
