Glory Days
Meet three Ohio athletes who excelled at the National Senior Games this summer.
Linda Feagler
Vincent Walls placed 10th for his age category in the 1,500-meter run at the 2013 National Senior Games.
Don't believe the adage that age is just a number? Then it's time you meet three of the 1,142 Ohioans who competed in the National Senior Games, which were held in Cleveland this summer.
Founded in St. Louis 28 years ago to promote healthy lifestyles through fitness, the biennial competition is the largest multisport contest in the world for athletes age 50 and over. In July, 10,885 competitors — ranging from a 50-year-old swimmer to a bowler who can still strike 'em down at 101 — congregated to prove their mettle.
"The games promote the idea of putting your personal best forward," says National Senior Games Association CEO Marc Riker, "no matter where you are along life's journey."
Man on the Run
The need for speed has been a driving force in Vincent Walls' life for almost 50 years. In fact, he's spent 22 of them behind the wheel of a Cleveland Regional Transit Authority bus, whisking suburban commuters to and from their downtown offices during rush hour. But Walls also hits the road running after his work is finished. The South Euclid resident has competed in 14 marathons — including the renowned contest held annually in New York City — and 1,800 races. This summer, Walls placed 10th for his age category in the 1,500-meter run in the National Senior Games. His time: 5 minutes, 11 seconds.
"Not bad for a 54-year-old," he says with a chuckle.
The athlete became interested in track and field competition back in the '70s as a pupil at Rawlings Junior High School in Cleveland. He'd hoped to follow in his mother's footsteps and become a sprinter. "But," Walls explains while recalling those days, "my coach said that while I was good, I didn't have the explosive speed I needed to be a sprinter. He suggested I try distance running."
Much to his surprise, the youth discovered he was a natural. He ran his first mile in 5 minutes, 35 seconds. Walls pared that time down to 4:27 while a student at East Tech High School and 4:19 as an undergrad at the University of Akron.
Although he admits there are some mornings he'd rather relax between bus-driving shifts, Walls refuses to slack off. He's determined to remain at the top of his game.
"As you get older," he explains, "you don't need to run every day when you're fine-tuning for an event. So, I run 20 to 30 miles a week, including an hour of speed running on Wednesdays.
"On the days I'm feeling lazy," Walls adds, "I do a nice, easy 5-mile jog in
Euclid Creek Reservation. Even though I may not feel like doing it, in the end, I'm always glad I did."
He is a firm believer in paying it forward. Walls helps students and colleagues achieve their fitness goals by serving as an assistant cross-country coach at Cleveland's St. Ignatius High School and designing individualized exercise routines for his co-workers.
"It's a good feeling when I see the people who see me run get motivated enough to exercise and lead a healthy life," he says. "To be fit is to be happy."
Secret to successful aging:
"I try not to have a lot of drama in my life," Walls says. "The stress of it can kill you."
On Higher Ground
The crack sounded like thunder. And the diagnosis that followed was irrefutable: Robert Arledge's rib was broken. And so was his dream of taking home the gold in this summer's National Senior Games.
Yet the octogenarian remained determined to succeed in the pole vaulting competition he'd trained countless hours for: Arledge competed through the pain, and placed third in his age category.
"I fully expected to win the event, but I came down hard on that crossbar on my fourth vault," he recalls wryly. "However, I'll be ready to compete in my next meet, which takes place this fall in Kentucky."
The 80-year-old scoffs at the notion that his recent mishap would be a stumbling block in continuing to pursue the sport that's clearly more than mere hobby.
"There's nothing like the endorphin high you feel when you can run and lift off the ground," says Arledge, who currently can vault as high as 7 feet, 3 inches.
The Lancaster native's passion for the event was sparked as a youngster, while watching teens compete at the local high school. Upon returning home, the youth asked his father to fashion a pole vault out of bamboo rods.
He soon became proficient: Arledge would go on to earn a letter in the sport at Lancaster High School, and became a 12-foot vaulter at Otterbein University, winning third- and fourth-place honors in Ohio Athletic Conference competitions. After graduating with a Bachelor of Arts degree in biology, he entered the Air Force. During a rewarding 30-year-career, thoughts of fly-aways and pull-turns were relegated to the back burner. But they resurfaced when Arledge retired in 1988.
"In the military, you're required to maintain a certain level of fitness and adhere to a weight standard," he explains. "In other words, we weren't allowed to get heavy." But it didn't take long for an additional 25 pounds to creep onto Arledge's 5-foot, 8-inch frame after he stopped working. When a friend suggested the retired Colonel train for the senior games, he decided to give it a shot. That was 11 years ago. Since then, in addition to the Cleveland contest, Arledge has competed in the National Senior Games in Louisville in 2007 and Houston in 2011, placing fourth and third, respectively.
His exercise regimen is one that would make many of us break into a sweat just thinking about: Five hours a week, Arledge engages in a weight-training routine that includes 15 reps of biceps curls using 35-pound weights; five reps of chin-ups with the goal of bringing his knees to his eyes; and a sequence of 10-12 reps of 30- to 50-yard sprints.
"It's been an awesome experience getting to know Robert," says 18-year-old pole vaulter Natalie Uy, who trains at Wright State University alongside Arledge. "His self-motivation is inspiring. He has a fire inside of him that never dies."
Secret to successful aging:
"My friends 75 and up frequently ask me why I work so much at training ... and I use that question as a teaching moment,"Arledge explains. "I say, 'If I could give you a free pill that would help you lose weight, lower your blood pressure and blood sugar, increase your metabolism and improve your energy and your strength, would you take it? And of course, they say 'yes.' So, I reply, 'Well, it's your feet and your legs. You've got to start exercising.' "
On Target
Cupid aimed his bow and arrow at Linda Klosterman and shot with aplomb. So much so that it didn't take long for the St. Mary's native to be smitten by archery. The love affair began in 1981 when she was introduced to the man who would become her husband two years later. An avid archer, he taught her the intricacies of the sport, which include keeping a cool head before shooting.
"To be successful, you have to develop your ability to concentrate on the target," Klosterman says. "You have to put everything else out of your mind — what's happening at home, at work or anywhere else — during that eight or 10 seconds it takes to execute a shot from beginning to end."
Clearly, she's learned her lessons well. The 55 year old placed first in the Compound Release competition at the National Senior Games. (Compound release refers to the type of bow Klosterman used to rack up 1,445 points out of a possible 1,500). In fact, her accuracy was so spot-on that she not only chalked up more points than those accrued by the other women in her age range, but also outscored male adversaries.
"Men usually have a strength advantage over women," Klosterman explains. "I knew I beat my female opponents when I finished. But when I turned in my scorecard, I knew by the looks on the judge's faces that I had bested the men as well."
Klosterman is no stranger to first place. Over the past three decades, she's won 14 championships, including six tournaments presented by the National Field Archery Association and two hosted by the Professional Archers Association.
"Archery can be practiced year round," she says. "But to me, there's nothing like shooting outdoors. Hiking through the woods to set up your target is great exercise. And you don't have to be terribly athletic to succeed."
Secret to successful aging:
"Things are a little harder now than they were 25 years ago," Klosterman says. "My eyesight is not as sharp, and I'm heavier than I used to be. But that doesn't mean I'm going to let it get me down."

The North Tahoe Pop Warner Rams opened their 2012 season this weekend with the Pee Wees playing on Friday night against their rival Sparks Wolfpack and the Mitey Mites traveling back to Fallon to take on the Fernley Falcons on Saturday.
"Last year we traded wins with the Wolfpack, including a heartbreaking, season-ending loss, so the kids were very excited to open the season against these guys," said Pee Wee head coach Scott Wilderman, also the Rams' association president.
Unfortunately for North Tahoe Pee Wees, they came up short, 32-0.
"The score would have looked better in the mirror, but our kids had a great time," Wilderman said. "The first game is always about finding out where you are and what work you have to do. The Wolfpack is always as well-prepared as anybody, and the score wasn't really reflective of the quality of the game. We know what we need to do now and hope to see them again in the playoffs this year."
Highlights included the Rams defense rising up after a shocking 20-0 deficit and only allowing two touchdowns the remaining three quarters. Keenan Collier bagged two interceptions, including one on an extra-point try. A fumble recovery by Kevin Perez put an end to another Wolfpack drive, and dominating play from Ben Ropers had the Wolfpack's offensive line befuddled.
"All the kids played great and never let the score discourage them," Wilderman said. "Ben showed everyone how a defensive tackle really can take over a game and that always inspires everyone to fight to the very end. He was such a common site in their backfield I started to wonder if he'd end up in their huddle before it was over."
The Mitey Mites reversed the Rams' weekend fortunes on Saturday afternoon with an impressive 13-0 win over the Falcons.
The excitement came early and again late with quarterback Dylan Cleary's sweeps to the left and right that each went for 40-plus yards and touchdowns. Running back Riley Rau tacked on an extra point after the first TD and showed his bruising running style throughout the afternoon.
"I thought they had Cleary pinned in the backfield on that second one and when he started running backward and then got to the corner it turned into what we call the 'No, no! ... Go, go!' play," said head coach Kurt Frankenberg.
On the other side, defensive end Alex Baker had the shocking experience of having a Fernley pass directed straight to him and almost came up with the interception, adding to his touchdown-saving tackle for a standout rookie performance. Irving Perez put an end to a Falcon drive with a fumble recovery in a repeat of his brother's role from the night before.
"All but two of our kids are rookies, and they went through the process of absorbing the experience of their first game as well as we could have hoped," Frankenberg said. "Sure, there were jitters and mistakes early, but they settled down and performed very well as a team. I'm proud of all our kids. They all played great."
Defensive coordinator Tim Cleary added further perspective for the Rams.
"The Falcons may be new to Pop Warner, but they sure know football," he said. "Their kids all played hard and that quarterback is somebody to be reckoned with. I've never seen an arm like that on a kid at this young age level, and he's got feet too. He's going to burn somebody with both before this season is over."
Defensive tackle Mario Ponce disrupted several Falcon plays and free safety Drake Miller had an outstanding game covering the Falcons receivers.
"It's great when you have the kind of talent we have," Cleary said.
UP NEXT: Both Rams teams will host powerhouse Reno at Incline High School on Saturday, Sept. 15. The Pee Wees play at 11 a.m. and the Mitey Mites at 2 p.m. For more information about the Rams, go to www.northtahoepopwarner.com.

Simon on and Annie were very welcoming, very easy going that I would recommend to my friends if they ever go to Hong Kong. It's for people that like small budget and like to spend more money on shopping, the right place to go for just right next to the MTR and in the middle of Mong Kok.

Positive: This is a very convenient place to live at. Right outside of your apartment you have access to Yau Ma Tei train station and nearby night markets. The place is cleaned on a daily basis. The owners are very friendly and nice. The place is small and cozy for 2 people and you have access to free internet and tv cable channels. The only complaint is that when it is raining hard in Hong Kong, the rainfall tends to make a lot of noise when it is hitting against the air conditioner. Otherwise, this is a great place to stay in hong kong if you are on a limited budget.
Had a great time. Room was clean and everything as described. It was nice dealing with Annie. She was really friendly and helpful.
The location was very good, convenient to go everywhere. The room was clean. You are in Hong Kong, the rooms are small usually. The price is fair.

The 3 of us stayed at Simon and Annie's studio for 6 days and it was a really a great stay. Both Simon and Annie is really friendly~
Room was really clean and comfortable. Washroom was also of a comfortable size.
They were really helpful~ Location of the studio was excellent! Entrance can easily be found when you alight at Yau Ma Di mtr station.

The after dinner shit or more commonly known as the ADS is a release of shit, after a long and filling dinner. Most commonly taken after Indian, Mexican or Pasta. The time frame for the ADS can vary dramatically, due to the particular size and density of the dish consumed.
Frank ate a whole cheesecake. No wonder he took that epic After Dinner Shit ADS straight after. My toilet won't ever be the same...

The Dewpoint Pants are our lightest weight most pack-able waterproof pants.
At just 10.4 oz. in a Medium, the Dewpoint Pant is our lightest and most packable rain pant. It is built uncompromisingly for ounce-counting backcountry hunters who rely on their rain gear in dicey situations far from any road. We worked with the scientists at W.L. Gore to invent a new three-layer, extremely light GORE-TEX® Fabric with one of the highest abrasion resistance ratings in our rain gear line. The innovative face fabric, a 20 Denier stretch woven nylon mini ripstop, bestows a stretchability that was previously impossible in waterproof garments.
By design, we kept features to a minimum. Articulated patterning means the Dewpoint Pant moves with you as you forge ahead. An enclosed, low-profile belt adjusts the waist. All zippers are welded and watertight. The full side zippers makes for easy on and off as conditions change.
"Whether I'm riding out a crusher rainstorm or bushwhacking through soaking wet willows in a down pour, the Dewpoint pant keeps me dry, cool and most importantly, hunting! The pants are lightweight and pack down so easy. The two-way stretch gives me the mobility I need to keep going in wet conditions. The Dewpoint pant works with you rather than against you in the moments when most needed."
- Sitka Athlete Cam Foss
I finally got the opportunity to really field test these pants on a Selkirk Mountain elk hunt this week. It rained hard and steady for the whole day; these pants kept me dry. I wore long underwear and pants under the raingear and stayed pretty warm. The brush was THICK and soaked wet, staying dry in those conditions is nearly impossible. I'm really impressed and will absolutely be recommending the dewpoint pants/jacket. Top notch!
To fragile to be used on a sheep hunt in the N.W.T. After 7 days the seat was pretty well shredded. Wet rocks are slick and you do fall on your butt from time to time. Fortunately Sitka did replace them and I will save them for a less physical kind of hunt.
Hi Kevin - As always appreciate the feedback. It's great to hear both sides; we get a lot of comments about how surprisingly durable the Dewpoint Pants are and then there are those like your own. It truly comes down to perception and how conscious you are as the user. Your are right, they are not our most durable pant but I can tell you from my own experience they are durable. Are they designed to take 170 pounds of dynamic pressure when you fall or put your head down and push through broken timber, no. When you are pushing through that thick timber you have to recognize when a branch is jabbing you, relieve that forward pressure and step a little more left. You do have to be more conscious of your surroundings. If you were looking for a durable, bust through thick brush without hesitation Pant than we highly recommend the Stormfront Pant. http://www.sitkagear.com/products/big-game/pants/stormfront-pant
Awesome minimalist design and cut but the durability... Well it's non existent. I'm a huge sitka fan, and really want to love this pant as much As the dewpoint jacket, but the fabric just isn't durable enough for a pant. Mine have probably 18-24 holes and I've only hunted in them for about 5 days on backcountry hunts where the weather turned south. I won't be looking to buy another pair.
When I first made the decision to go with the Dewpoint pant, it was based off Sitka's reputation (and my experience with other items). I was under the impression they would be waterproof, which they certainly are, but only when you can keep them from getting holes in them. Before purchasing, I read the bottom paragraph on the Dewpoint pant page, and C. Foss says, "bushwhacking through wet willows..." I need to stress, this is not the case! I have used them for two hunts (one sheep and one mule deer) and I have had to repair them 4 times, also need to add that I wasn't hard on them. I called CS as soon as I returned from my sheep hunt this past August to express my concern about how fragile the pants are and was told that normal wear is not covered. I just want people to really think if they need to save the few ounces over a more reliable pant. I really regret spending over $400cdn on these pants and want others to understand they are a very expensive item for the less than expected durability.
A must have item. Even nice to wear on days when its not raining, yet. Excellent wind resistance which adds warmth. Nice to hike in, very little loss of mobility. Full length zippers allow good temperature regulation and access to your pants pockets. I am 6'3" 190 and have these in XL, rather than large which falls in line with the rest of the system, so try before you buy, or go one size bigger. Its your top layer so bigger is better. The sewn in belt is good on this product.
The Dewpoint system is the best lightweight shell that I have found. You hardly even notice that you have them on and at 10.4oz there is no need to ever leave them home. As a Gore tester this is a must have.

The Stetson men's and women's rowing teams claimed one gold and two silver medals at the the FIRA State Championships Saturday at the Nathan Benderson Rowing and Aquatic Center in Sarasota, Fla.
The Hatters' women's 2x team of Deonna Graham and Alicja Duda finished first overall in the double scull event with a time of 10:01.8.
"This was the first time these two ladies raced other doubles this year and I was really proud of them," Stetson head coach Mark Wilson said. "They jumped off to an early start and led the entire race beating the University of Tampa and UCF by a considerable margin."
The men's 2- team of David Nutting and Mike Sigrist finished second out of six teams with a time of 8:21.6, just seven seconds behind the leader.
"These two men have been training together all spring and it showed," Wilson said. "They were beaten by a stronger boat from Rollins but did an excellent job holding off a very strong pair from Jacksonville and four other crews. These guys did a great job in the head wind and really poured it all out."
Jack Ulricksin competed in the men's 1x event and finished second out of four competitors, just 17 seconds behind the leader.
"Jack is working through some upper body injuries and really did a great job today," Wilson said. "He is a mature athlete and enjoys the challenge of the 1x and really did a nice job on the water."
Stetson also finished fifth out of seven teams in the Men's Novice 8.
"The Men's Novice 8 had a great race and really looked solid as a boat today," assistant coach James Dietz said. "They finished a very nice fifth of eight and looked comfortable racing at a little higher rate than in the past. They did a really good job as a unit. I was happy with the boys today, they really worked well and lost to some much bigger crews today."
The Women's Novice 8 was a fast race and the Hatters looked great through the first 1000m but started to fade in the second 1000m and even with Canisius University catching a big crab could not hold them off and finished in last place.
"The team is really young and seven of the eight women only started rowing in January so we have a good amount of work to do but the girls on this team have a great spirit and a great work ethic," Wilson said. "Today was important and they will improve."
After the lunch break the remaining races were not quite as positive in the results column with the Light Women's 4 racing in the JV4 event. This boat of Kiara Uhrena, Tori Teter, Duda, Grahram and cox Madeline Briggs placed eighth.
"The girls really pushed but they could not hold off a last 500m charge from Tampa," Wilson said. "It would have been good to see them get ahead a little but they could not hold off the last charge."
The two Varsity fours also finished last with strong efforts from the Varsity B four of Sherree Carter, Molly Winston, Bria Parrish, Tabitha Petri and cox Aiden Keller. The Varsity A Four which had raced the night before to qualify was going into the race wanting to beat Florida State and Jacksonville but could not hold off the charge of the JU four at the finish. The boat of Chloe Blackletter, Julia Pearce, Shannon McCarthy, Cathleen Vogelsgang and cox Erin Lee raced well but came up short.
"These boats will continue training and we will be working on continued timing and power application for the next couple of weeks," Wilson said.
The team now has one week off from racing to prepare for the Southern Intercollegiate Rowing Association Championships in Oak Ridge TN on April 19-20.

Kids might vomit (throw up) for lots of reasons. Most often, vomiting is caused by a stomach virus.
Vomiting can make kids lose important fluids, salts, and minerals. To counter that, you need to keep the child hydrated.
Let the parents know if a child has vomited, especially if the child cannot keep clear fluids down.
If a younger child is vomiting:
If an older child is vomiting:
If an infant throws up or a child continues to vomit repeatedly or has abdominal pain or fever, call the parents right away.
To help prevent vomiting, avoid overfeeding kids — especially babies.
To avoid spreading germs that cause stomach viruses, wash your hands a lot. Make sure kids wash their hands before eating, after using the bathroom, or after playing outside.

Three Upstate schools were closed Friday, due to an early morning wreck.
Anderson School District 1 Superintendent Wayne Fowler said Wren Elementary, Middle and High Schools did not have classes after a wreck near the schools downed power lines.
Fowler initially said the schools would be on a one-hour delay, but then later canceled classes for the day at 8 a.m.
The wreck was reported just before 5 a.m. on Highway 86 near Wigington Road, the Highway Patrol website shows.
Just before 6:30 a.m., the Highway Patrol issued a release saying that the intersection was blocked because of power lines down from that earlier collision.
District officials say that since the outage only affected three of their schools, there's no need for a makeup day.

Text message contributes to crash in Chautauqua County
FRENCH CREEK, N.Y. -- A woman faces several charges after authorities said she was text messaging while driving and her vehicle ended up in a ditch.
Zoe A. Brooks, 20, of Latrobe, was driving on Old Road in the town of French Creek, N.Y., when her vehicle went down an embankment today at about 1:15 a.m., the Chautauqua County Sheriff's Office said.
Brooks was charged with using a handheld electronic device and other traffic-related charges, sheriff's deputies said.

Television's biggest day means just as much for network affiliates as for the companies that invest in multi-million dollar Super Bowl advertising campaigns.
For WTAJ-TV, the CBS Sports broadcast of the big game produces the highest ad rates and viewership of the year. It also offers a high-profile promotional opportunity, which Channel 10 is using to hype its planned HD news launch Monday.
"It's always the biggest day of the year for us," general manager Phil Dubrow said last week.
And that's especially true this year with the station's move to a new look for its news operation.
As part of WTAJ's Super Bowl coverage, sports reporter Amy Gill spent time in New Orleans with a team of reporters from Channel 10's parent company (Nexstar Broadcasting, which owns 38 stations across the nation).
The on-site visit allowed reporters to mine local stories for news broadcasts and web extras.
Gill's trip produced stories on coaches and players with Penn State ties as well as the typical prove-you-were-there major event and travelogue pieces.
Ad attention
Along with expensive national ads, the Super Bowl includes about a dozen local ads. Many advertisers who support Steelers broadcasts during the NFL regular season will fill those for WTAJ.
"It's pretty much the same group we have during the regular season," Dubrow said.
Expect a local car dealer, a jeweler and a certain local newspaper (the Mirror and its sister company, EZtoUse.com) among the advertisers.
Still, those ads will not fan anticipation or feature the production values of the national ads, which cost an average of $3.8 million for this year's game. As always, the big players will be the ABCs - automobiles, beverages and comedy.
According to some surveys, as many as 45 percent of viewers who watch the Super Bowl tune in exclusively for the ads. Most advertisers have extended their campaigns to include online previews, and they hope for social media reaction to drive more attention after an ad airs.
That's why comedy provides a time-tested formula.
Tuner tidbits
n Last year's Super Bowl was the most-watched TV show in U.S. history, attracting 111.3 million viewers. It was also popular on radio and online. More than 23 million listened on radio and 2.1 million streamed it to computers or portable devices.
n With 62 cameras in the Superdome, CBS should have every angle covered. That includes cameras focused exclusively on 49ers coach Jim Harbaugh and Ravens coach John Harbaugh.
n While NFL Network, ESPN and CBS promise hours of pregame coverage, the NFL Network's access makes its coverage the best in the hours leading up to the game.
n Another gameday standout is the year's only Sunday broadcast of "Mike and Mike in the Morning" on ESPN Radio. It's always a good, timely listen.
n "Face the Nation" will feature NFL commissioner Roger Goodell on Sunday, too.

The Berkeley County School Board voted 6-1 Tuesday to prohibit parents from coaching varsity and junior varsity teams on which their children participate.
It was the first of two readings of the policy change. School board member Phillip Obie dissented.
The policy would make the high school principal responsible for coordinating volunteers to support programs. The policy says that principals "should not assign volunteer parents of student athletes ... to coaching responsibilities at the varsity or junior varsity level within the program in which their son or daughter is participating." The principal can request an exemption, however, if the parent coach is "determined to be vital to the existence of the program."
According to board member Doug Cooper, the policy would affect about 26 parent volunteer coaches and, of those, about eight would likely qualify for the exemption.
The principal would submit the exemption to the district athletic director for approval.
About two dozen concerned citizens showed up at the meeting, which became raucous at times as audience members interrupted board members' discussion.
Members Jim Hayes and Cooper said a lot of the dissent against the policy is due to "misinformation."
"The problem I had was the amount of misinformation people were spreading in the community. There was never any intent to do away with the volunteers. I coached in this district for 12 to 15 years. Volunteers are a part of my program and the school programs. It's been very upsetting to me that so much information was put out there and some people would spread it the way it was spread," Hayes said.
Board Chair Kent Murray said the issue with parent volunteers is a district problem and a school problem, where principals have neglected to fill vacant coaching positions with staff.
"We want an employee-based coaching system, and we have to look at ourselves on what are we not doing to fill these vacancies," Murray said.
To that a person in the crowd shouted: "You can't buy books, how are you going to pay coaches?"
It was one of several times Murray had to ask the audience to allow the school board to continue discussing the matter.
"Sir, you've had your opportunity to speak. Now allow us to make this decision in front of you," Murray said.
The tension between the board and the audience bled into tension between board members as Obie asked to see all the documents that led to the committee's decision to recommend approval of the policy.
Board member Kathy Schwalbe said they only reviewed the draft of the policy. Obie again asked to see all of the information and Murray fired back:
"Pick up a newspaper."
Obie, the dissenting vote, said the policy had served the community well for "a hundred years."
And "nothing's gone wrong," he said to applause
At the end of the discussion, Cooper said he would like to have some of the policy's language clarified to allay any concerns. Members reminded the audience that a second reading will be needed, and that will take place likely in July.

Sorry, lift lines. It's not you, it's me.
Break things off with crowded lift lines, grab the Burton Women's Family Tree Anti-Social Splitboard, and start linking up with fresh turns daily. Featuring a floaty and lightweight feel, the Anti-Social is designed with a progressive, tapered shape, and utilizes the Channel mounting system for hassle-free mounting and almost-endless adjustability.
Splitboards have traditionally used drilled inserts to mount the binding pucks. Because these inserts offer a limited range of angles, getting the pucks lined up exactly has always been a challenge in itself. Because the Channel mounting system offers an infinite range of angles, however, getting the pucks lined up is a snap. This also makes it possible to get your stance exactly right, since you aren't stuck using a preset angle. Also, because it's so easy, you'll be more inclined to get it exactly right, rather than just getting it close and leaving it, which used to be the norm.
With a directional camber profile, the Anti-Social's entry-rocker causes the long, floaty nose to keep you effortlessly on top of deep powder, while the camber under both feet ensures powerful turns and tons of grip for a speedy skin to the top. The 12mm of taper means the nose is wider than the tail to keep you afloat in the extra-deep stuff.
Energetic and lightweight, the Super Fly II core employs lighter and stronger woods in strategic areas to provide pop, strength, and lower weight, while the Dualzone EGD has two continuous wood zones perpendicular to the the rest of the core for added power and edge-control. Squeezebox technology improves pop and overall performance through the ideal balance of thicker, more powerful core sections with thinner, more flexible sections.
Pro Tip construction keeps the weight of the nose and tail down, which makes it easier to throw the Anti-Social around, and makes the climb up easier, too. Infinite Ride construction ensures this board rides the same from day one to 100, and the sintered WFO base is impact-resistant, keeping you moving fast for days on end with little need for constant re-waxing. Whatever terrain you bring the Anti-Social through, the Triax fiberglass wrap delivers versatile flex and response for everything from narrow chutes to poppy side hits.

Hi, Picked this up thinking it was a truly modern piece, maybe Ikea item and was amazed it revealed Kosta Boda number 324.
Agreed, although the only creative thinking was rearranging the numbers 2, 3, 4....Sometimes the colour on these is just sprayed on and scratches off if you take a wire scouring pad to it....might be worth a go in this case.!

Due to the large number of candidates seeking office in this non-partisan race, each will be given only four minutes to introduce themselves and address one or two questions provided to them in advance.
Moultrie News readers are asked to submit questions which will be provided to the candidates who will choose a few to answer.

Please do your part as a member of the voting public. Become informed by joining us Oct. 17 so that your vote counts toward the betterment of our community.

Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Over the last decade, U.S. pharmaceutical companies have expressed a steadily increasing interest in forging partnerships with pharma companies based in Japan. This essay surveys the motivations behind this trend, details how a small U.S. pharma might overcome the challenges, and shares some insights for pharma executives interested in conducting business across the Pacific.
A substantial source of inspiration for trans-Pacific partnerships of this type is the collaboration of two pharma giants, U.S.-based Pfizer and Japan-based Eisai, in the marketing of Aricept® (donepezil HCl) for the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Research leading to the creation of the drug started in 1983 at Eisai. In 1996, Eisai obtained approval from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration for donepezil under the Aricept name, which it co-marketed with Pfizer. As of 2011, Aricept was the best-selling Alzheimer's disease treatment in the world. Other fruitful collaborations have included Bristol-Myers' blockbuster antipsychotic Abilify® (aripiprazole), which was discovered by Japan's Otsuka Pharmaceutical; the two companies have a promotional partnership on that drug through 2015. And when it bought U.S.-based Sepracor (now Sunovion Pharmaceuticals), Dainippon Sumitomo obtained access to the former's 1,200-strong sales force.
Despite the fact that Japan is currently the second-largest pharmaceutical market, the majority of foreign companies have not yet captured the full opportunity available there. But the rapidly evolving pharma landscape is creating renewed interest in alliances. Almost all major pharma companies are seeing their revenues decrease due to weak pipelines, patent expiries, and the rise of generics. Japanese companies are experiencing these forces more severely than most and are thus more aggressively searching for alliances with foreign partners. Pharma companies in Japan that have relatively large cash reserves may be tempted by the weaker U.S. dollar to seek such partnerships.
In a January 2012 interview with the National Bureau of Asian Research, B.T. Slingby, director of global partner solutions at Eisai, identified an "interesting trend" in Japan pharma right now: proactive globalization, in which Japanese companies are actively assessing how they can open up and expand into overseas markets. He added, "to move forward means...new business models—organic growth. New business models have to be integrated, they have to be innovative, they have to look at volume instead of profit margin, they have to address the unique needs of the healthcare system as a whole, and they have to look at how patients in each country access healthcare and medicines." An ideal opportunity seems clear for U.S. pharma companies interested in partnerships.
Considering that the majority of headlines so far regarding U.S.-Japan partnerships have involved Big Pharma, executives at smaller-to-midsize pharma companies based in the U.S. might be unsure about their own prospects for success. In fact, these chances have never been better.
It is crucial that such a firm be dedicated to the worldwide development and commercialization of innovative pharmaceutical products. To date, significant success has been enjoyed by companies whose strategy has been to build a robust product portfolio via alliances not only with Japanese biotechnology and pharmaceutical firms but also with other companies based in Europe and North America.
Among Japanese companies, Kyorin Pharmaceutical and Meiji Seika Kaisha of Tokyo, Kissei Pharmaceutical of Matsumoto City, and Mitsubishi Tanabe Pharma of Osaka are among the prominent ones that have shown great interest in collaborations with U.S.-based companies and have already established such partnerships.
Interestingly, the first U.S. company to be publicly traded solely in Japan, MediciNova was a pharmaceutical firm interested in strengthening ties with its business partners who had provided its drug candidates. Any U.S. pharma company that is interested in being listed on a Japanese exchange should be aware of the challenges that have historically been encountered in making American companies' shares available to institutional and private investors in Japan. These challenges have been based in longstanding restrictive rules about how shares in foreign firms could be traded, and how the shares could be bought and sold. For example, many Japanese funds have traditionally considered U.S. companies to be foreign stock, and they thus would not become holders of that stock in Japan. Having a dual listing in both Japan and the U.S. would permit a company to attract institutional and retail ownership from both the U.S. and Japanese markets, and could allow access to capital, which is vital in overseeing world-class clinical development for a company's portfolio of products.
Based on developments to date, certain general insights emerge for U.S. firms. For example, fostering a sense of trust between your company and your prospective partner is far and away the most important ingredient in determining the eventual success of the partnership—even more so than the precise financial details. Trust is paramount in any long-term relationship, and especially so in one that involves guiding a novel drug through a successful marketing campaign. Second, if you don't already have one, set up a company representative in Japan who is tasked with assessing compounds currently now under development and building relationships with those companies within the country. Third, instead of focusing only on drug development at Japan's largest drug companies, it is wise to play close attention to smaller companies, who are just as involved with the next wave of innovative drugs as their larger counterparts. Fourth, if you decide to list your shares in Japan, be aware of the differences in how the market operates in that country. Finally, consider attending the monthly meetings in Tokyo of the Japan Pharmaceutical Licensing Association, which addresses topics germane to the industry.
What lies in store for the future? As mentioned earlier, competition within the pharma industry for new sources of revenue is bound to increase, and this will work as greater incentive for U.S.-Japan partnerships among even smaller companies. A "snowball effect" might even occur as insights regarding such partnerships and the challenges they present, become better defined and better known throughout the industry.
To sum up, there are substantial rewards for U.S. pharma companies, both large and small, that wish to partner with pharma companies in Japan. Success, however, will hinge on a variety of factors including a strong understanding of how the Japanese pharma industry works, an ability to navigate the Japanese markets if you opt to list your company on a Japanese exchange, and the ability to acquire the long-term confidence of your new partners. The future belongs to the bold.

Hoard's Dairyman Farm hosted United States Embassy guests
Hoard's Dairyman Farm hosted United States Embassy guests
Representatives from 15 different countries got a taste of Midwest agriculture.
by Taylor Pires, Hoard's Dairyman Editorial Intern
On June 28, the Hoard's Dairyman Farm served as host to 15 United States Embassy representatives, all from different countries, looking to experience what American agriculture has to offer. The representatives work in U.S. Embassy libraries and information centers around the globe. Their responsibilities include supplying information about the U.S. to their countrymen, which is why it is so important for them to have an understanding of one of America's most vital industries. "The more confident they are about the U.S., the more capable they are to represent the U.S.," said Wendy Simmons, Department of State representative.
Simmons accompanied the group on their tour, which was arranged by the International Institute of Wisconsin. In touring the farm, the group hoped to gain an appreciation for the Midwest. "All of them felt so privileged because most people who come on these programs don't get to see a dairy farm," Simmons said. She also shared that it is important for the representatives to understand what our economy is based on, and to understand the basis of Wisconsin is to see a dairy farm.
The Hoard's Dairyman Farm is just one example of the many dynamic farms in Wisconsin. What makes this farm unique is its association with the Hoard's Dairyman magazine and tours led by the editors. "The fact that the Hoard's staff had degrees in agriculture and had such a knowledge and love for dairying made an impression," Simmons said.
Simmons felt that the visit accomplished its goal. The 15 U.S. Embassy representatives now have a better understanding of dairying and American agriculture, along with an appreciation for hard working American farmers.
The author is the 25th Hoard's Dairyman editorial intern. She will be a senior at California Polytechnic State University in San Luis Obispo. At Cal Poly, Taylor is majoring in dairy science with an agricultural communications minor. Pires grew up on a 500-cow dairy in Merced County, Calif.

5 People Who Quit Real Jobs to Pursue Idiotic Dreams
Medioimages/Photodisc/Photodisc/Getty Images
Follow your dreams. Do you know who said that? Neither do I. Probably an idiot. Or a guy who wrote a lot of poetry in high school and is happy to read it to you if you want to come over and hang out sometime. Some of it is pretty deep, and he's even been published on this website that sent him a letter saying his poetry was so good, they were publishing it in their yearly anthology. Cool, huh? No. No it isn't.
Dreams keep us motivated, working toward something. Is it a yacht? Is it a vacation? Is it a lady with three boobs? Dreams have no limits. But they can let you down sometimes, and not all dreams are always worth pursuing. Like, say you have this dream where you're on a plane and Donald Trump is sitting next to you and he gets up to use the shitter and then you hit some turbulence and suddenly Trump's ass is right on your face, and he's wearing some weird ass millionaire pants made from octopus leather and it just breaks as you're gasping in horror and the timing works such that your tongue touches Trump's asshole. Is that a dream you want to pursue? I hope not. It's almost as bad as the rest of these things.
#5. Ninja
Who among us hasn't wanted to be a ninja at some point between age 7 and age 15? Probably most of the girls and maybe 50 percent of the boys. But everyone else entertained the idea of, at some point, becoming a ninja as a means of gainful employment. Your friends would be lawyers or doctors or garbage men, and when it happened that the shogun sent assassins to kill them, they would hire you to out-ninja the killers and save the day. Or maybe you would just be a mercenary-type ninja and travel the greater Milwaukee area ninja-starring those in need of ninja-starring and drop-kicking others. Something would work out.
As you grew older, your dreams of becoming a ninja probably began to fade in the face of life's harsh realities. Ninjas have a poor benefits package, insurance premiums would likely be very high, and what's the deal with unions? Plus, by and large, there are no ninjas, because they stopped existing a few hundred years ago.
None of the harsh realities about ninjas stopped 30-year-old Izzy Arkin from abandoning a masters degree to move to Japan and become a ninja. Because it was his dream. He gave up life as a middle school teacher to move to Japan and train in martial arts five days a week with the goal of becoming a ninja.
Hemera Technologies/PhotoObjects.ne
"Wax on! Wax off! What the hell am I doing?"
Izzy left the world of non-ninjas in 2009 and now maintains a blog where he posts dream-affirming messages and advice for others who are looking to follow their own dreams but not sure how to start. None of his advice touches on what to do if your dream is to become a nonexistent relic of feudal Japanese culture, but that's OK, because maybe you want to become a dinosaur, or Brad Pitt. Maybe he can help coach you toward the goals.
If you're wondering how close he is to achieving his goal, you'll probably have to email him and ask, because I can't find any information on his site to suggest that he actually is a ninja yet or if there's a ninja timeline in the works, but I do know that if you contact him, you should tell him it's your dream to prevent him from becoming a ninja and see if that makes his head explode.
#4. Pro StarCraft Player
Comstock/Comstock/Getty Images
Have you ever played StarCraft II? It's a computer game about killing bugs in outer space. If you like, you could be the bugs and kill people. For shits and giggles, you could be an alien race called the Protoss and kill bugs or humans as well. As an aside, every time I hear "Protoss," it immediately becomes "salad toss" in my head.
About a year ago, a man on Reddit, the website where cats come from and people jump to conclusions the way hobos jump on errant chicken wings, proclaimed something amazing. He had been a casual player of StarCraft II and really enjoyed it. But as time went on and the demands of his day-to-day job got in the way, he noticed his skill levels fading away like the libido and/or sex appeal of a man who notices that his StarCraft II skill levels even exist.
Digital Vision./Digital Vision/Getty Images
"Sex appeal? Nah, I got the whole damn fruit!"
Unsatisfied with the fact that a 40-hour work week had thoroughly buggered his Zerg campaign, Greg "NrGMalice" Risselada quit his job to take up the mantle of "guy who ruined his life." His success in the game was almost unheard of, winning numerous tournaments and taking home massive cash prizes that helped him improve his home system and allowed for him to hone his game skills further, until he rose to the top of the North American circuit and became something of a StarCraft celebrity.
Actually, I made up most of the shit at the end of that sentence, because come on. StarCraft celebrity? Pfft. As far as anyone can tell, he played his little game for a while and then had to quit because life is not a Nickelodeon cartoon and no one lets you have electricity and water for free just because you've mastered a full-on attack with hydralisks because no one in the world who is important cares what that word even means.
A Reddit thread from four months back asks if anyone has an update on Risselada, and people generally agree that he got a job and that most people who quit their real jobs to play StarCraft tend to not become millionaire gamers because few of them had a magic lamp handy.
#3. Rapper
Digital Vision./Digital Vision/Getty Images
Say, do you like rap? Do you think a viral video means you're successful, despite the entire history of the world indicating the opposite? Did you have a viral video of you rapping and decide to quit your job and become a rapper? This entry may be entirely about you!
Mark Grist achieved Internet infamy when a video popped up in 2011 showing him schooling 17-year-old DJ Crumpet in the fine art of epic rap fisticuffs. Like Rabbit in 8 Mile, he spit some mad rhymes and shamed his young adversary into a hole of clever wordplay. And if I'm being fair, I have to acknowledge that he was pretty masterful. If that was literally all off the cuff, Grist is an amazing poet and freestyle rapper, and he laid out one of the best insults about jerking off to Gandalf that you'll ever hear. That being said, he let this one event shape his life from there on out.
Anyone with knowledge of how Internetting works understands that a viral video is popular in the way that an actual virus is popular. Lots of people experience it, sure -- it doesn't necessarily mean people want more of it. And while Grist's fame was of a positive sort, it's not like he recorded "Friday" or anything terrifying like that; he's still a guy who's mostly known for humiliating a pale young lad who sounds like Baby Spice with a cold.
A secondary school teacher by trade, Grist used to use rap to teach his students, kind of like that episode of Family Guy when Brian patronizes the remedial English class, only in real life and I guess with fewer pregnant cartoon characters. Eventually, teaching took a back seat to his poetry and freestyle rap career, as Grist decided to tour with a group called Dead Poets, sharing rhythmic wisdom across the countryside and living out the dream you have to assume Technoviking wishes he could be living right this second.

Celebrity Central / Top 25 Celebs
Ellen Pompeo
- 1970s
An Early Loss
When Pompeo is only 4, her mother, Kathleen, dies. The grief that her family, including five older siblings, experiences is her first childhood memory in the working-class Boston suburb of Everett, Mass. "Everyone in the house was very upset, and there was me, just knowing there was something terribly wrong," she tells Allure in 2006. "I think having my mother die at such a very young age – when she was 33 – I appreciate life so much."
- mid 1990s
A Bar Discovery
After meeting boyfriend, fashion photographer Andrew Rosenthal, and serving cocktails in Miami for more than two years, Pompeo moves to New York City, where she is discovered by a casting director. "Where I come from, you don't just say, 'Oh, I'm going to become an actor,'" Pompeo tells PEOPLE. "Talk like that and they think you're crazy." She quickly lands her first gig in a L'Oreal commercial, quits bartending, and makes her TV acting debut on NBC's Law & Order.
- 2002
Playing Jake's Girl
After years of making guest appearances on TV series and mediocre indie films, Pompeo makes a memorable turn as Jake Gyllenhaal's sympathetic love interest in the drama Moonlight Mile (right). That same year, she portrays Leonardo DiCaprio's lover in Steven Spielberg's Catch Me If You Can.
- 2003
On the Chopping Block
Pompeo appears with Luke Wilson (left) and Vince Vaughn in the wildly successful comedy, Old School. Although she's cast as Ben Affleck's secretary in Daredevil and Jim Carrey's girlfriend in Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, most, if not all, of her scenes are left on the cutting room floor. "I got completely cut out of [Eternal Sunshine] but got so much affirmation to be hired," she tells Allure.
- 2005
Anatomy of a TV Hit
Pompeo is cast as Meredith Grey on ABC's new drama Grey's Anatomy with Patrick Dempsey (right), Katherine Heigl and Sandra Oh. "In the first scene, I have sex with a boy. Then I get into the power position and throw him out," she tells New York's Daily News. "And then I get to perform surgery." The mid-season replacement, which centers around a group of surgical interns juggling love and medicine, cracks TV's top ten, eventually beating CSI for the No. 1 drama spot.
America's McSexiest Couple
The goings-on of TV's hottest medical drama becomes water cooler talk around America. The pairing of Pompeo's angsty Meredith Grey and Dempsey's Dr. Derek "McDreamy" Shepherd even lands them in ads for fashion retailer New York & Company. "It's awkward with Patrick because he's like my brother," Pompeo tells Entertainment Weekly of her sex scenes with Dempsey. "As soon as the camera is off, I'm like, 'Is your hand on my butt?' But there are millions of girls who have been waiting for this, so I feel an obligation to the fans."
- 2006
In Love With Ivery
Pompeo's boyfriend of two-plus years, music producer Chris Ivery, 37, presents her with a 3.5-carat diamond ring on her 37th birthday. But it isn't a birthday gift; it's a proposal, which she accepts. "We were six degrees our whole lives, so I feel like we were sort of meant to be," Pompeo tells PEOPLE. "We'll get married eventually, secretly." Pompeo holds to that promise in November 2007, when she quietly weds Ivery in Manhattan's City Hall.
- 2007
A Cast Under Fire
After Isaiah Washington calls costar T.R. Knight an anti-gay slur, the cast is under scrutiny. Despite the controversy, Pompeo nabs a Golden Globe nod and wins a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by an Ensemble (right, with Heigl and Oh). When Washington is let go, Pompeo tells Ryan Seacrest, "You just have to roll with the punches."
- 2008
Grey's Gets Back to Basics!
After the writer's strike ends, Pompeo & Co. return with fresh episodes. Appearing on the cover of EW, the Grey's star reveals that after many bumps in the road (including angering devoted fans) the show will leave the "dark and twisty" stuff, inject some signature humor and reunite Mer-Der! "It's nice to see all these relationships moving forward," Dempsey says. "And the characters are making fun of themselves in a good way." Adds Pompeo: "Chemistry wins above everything else. When you have chemistry with someone, you can't stay away from them, no matter how dysfunctional the relationship is."
- 2009
Luna's Landing
Pompeo and Ivery welcome their first child, Stella Luna Pompeo Ivery, in Los Angeles. "He loves dressing her up like him," Pompeo says of her husband. "He goes out and buys her clothes that look like his clothes."

Nothing Beats Immunoassays for Sensitivity, Specificity,...
Process Development Jobs Still the Most...
Quadruple Helices Appear To Have Role...
Wall Street Decline Takes Its Toll...
Acquisition includes U.S-marketed bioengineered skin substitute for diabetic foot ulcers. [© Andrzej - Fotolia.com]
Shire is paying $750 million in cash to buy Advanced BioHealing as the foundation for establishing a regenerative medicine business unit headed by the acquired firm's bioengineered skin substitute Dermagraft®.
Dermagraft is a cryopreserved human fibroblast-derived dermal substitute that is already approved in the U.S. for the treatment of diabetic foot ulcers and is in late-stage development for treating venous leg ulcers. Shire says it will continue to invest in the development of new indications for Dermagraft in additional countries and use its international commercialization and marketing expertise to increase sales of the product. The firm expects the acquisition will represent a springboard for the potential purchase of additional regenerative medicine assets.
Once the transaction is complete the Advanced BioHealing business will become part of Shire's specialty pharmaceuticals business and be able to leverage biologics manufacturing expertise from Shire's existing human genetic therapies business to improve Dermagraft manufacturing capacity and technical expertise. Under Shire's ownership Advanced BioHealing will also expand its existing manufacturing facility in La Jolla, California.
Kevin Rakin, Advanced BioHealing chairman and CEO, said the acquisition by Shire represents "an exciting chapter," in its evolution. "Four years ago, we started with a vision to transform the regenerative medicine marketplace... This is a very exciting opportunity for all of us at Advanced BioHealing to develop the business and deliver continued growth within a new environment that is highly complementary and will provide great leverage for us."
Dermagraft made $146 million in U.S. sales in 2010, and has already cornered a 5% share of the $3 million slow-healing diabetic foot ulcer market, Shire claims. A U.S. filing for Dermagraft in the treatment of venous leg ulcers is projected for the first quarter of 2012. The product has also been approved, but is not yet marketed, for the diabetic foot ulcer indication in Israel, South Africa, and Singapore. A regulatory submission was made to the Canadian regulatory authorities in March. Additional submissions for the diabetic foot ulcer indication are planned in multiple territories.

Lycoming College tennis player Jason Mifsud became the first player in the history of the Warriors' program to win an individual Middle Atlantic Conference tennis championship on Sunday.
The top-seeded Mifsud, a Montoursville graduate, won a pair of matches in straight sets to win the title at Kirby Park in Wilkes-Barre.
"I was stoked. I?don't show that much emotion on the court, but after that one, I threw my hands up in the air," Mifsud said. "It was a lot of weight off. I?usually don't like to be seeded No. 1 because it's added pressure, but to win it for coach (LeRoy) Baer was really nice."
In the semifinals, Mifsud defeated Elizabethtown's Eric Fritzges, 6-4, 6-2. In the finals, he avenged a loss from last year's MAC?quarterfinals by beating Wilkes' Steve Wilson, 6-4, 6-1.
The MAC?title wraps up a season in which Mifsud went 7-1, including earning a pair of wins at the ITA?Southeast Regionals B-2 flight. He became the first Warrior in school history to reach the semifinals of a flight at the tournament.
"Jason's been prepared for this weekend," Baer said. "He has worked extremely hard for this. He played in tournaments all summer and played in a USTA league. He put a lot of hard work in."
Mifsud concluded the fall season with a 37-11 career record. The 37 wins are already a school record.
"The first match against Fritzges, I hadn't played him since his freshman year, but I remember he was a big hitter," Mifsud said. "I woke up groggy and got out to a slow start, but I started to wake up and got it done. In the finals, against Wilson, I knew I had to put balls into his backhand and force him to use that. It went really well."
"Jason was not missing. He broke Steve twice in the first set and that led to the victory," Baer said. "Then with the score, 4-1 in the second set, he broke him and got to serve for the match. He pulled it off. It was fantastic to watch."
The Lycoming tennis spring season begins March 25 against Juniata.
