Piper, a 7-year-old golden retriever, sat across the ring with his eyes fixed on his owner Georgeann Steffens, waiting for the signal. When it finally came, Piper trotted over to Steffens and sat right next to her, his eyes never leaving her.
"Good boy," Steffens said as they walked out of the ring.
Steffens was one of 188 competitors at the Longs Peak Dog Show on Saturday at Island Grove Regional Park Exhibition Hall, 501 N. 14th Ave., Greeley. Steffens, of Colorado Springs, has been training and competing dogs for more than 30 years. Piper was competing in utility, the highest level of obedience.
"It is very difficult," Steffens said. "The dogs have to be independent thinkers. They get easily confused. They have to do a lot of stuff on their own."
Her 5-year-old golden retriever Maggie also competed in obedience and agility competitions. Steffens drove from Colorado Springs with friends, who also compete.
"It's a girls' weekend out with our dogs," Steffens said. "Any activity with your dogs is great."
Steffens said she trains her dogs two hours a week on agility and two hours a week on obedience. She also works on something every day with them.
"The bond you get with your dogs is very strong," She said of why she loves competing. "It makes your dog a good citizen to society."
The three-day competition is an American Kennel Club sanctioned show that features four rings with competitions focusing on obedience with precision commands and agility.
"This is the perfect size," said chairman Francie Pusateri. "The people here at the fairgrounds are helpful to us. It is a really fun competition for the dogs and the exhibitors."
Chris Drake, of Fountain, a newcomer to the competition, was there with his 18-month-old Rottweiler, Gunner. He was coaxed into the competition world by the breeders from whom he got Gunner. The dog competed at the novice level with heeling patterns and sit and stay commands.
"It's a lot of fun," Drake said. "I'm a competitive person. Being able to compete with the dog, it makes it fun for both of us."

Sixty-nine patients with cryptococcal meningoencephalitis and six patients with nonmeningeal cryptococcosis were studied serologically. Twenty-nine of the 75 patients had serum anticryptococcal antibody by an indirect fluorescence test (IFA). Titers ranged from 1:1 to 1:32. Forty-seven patients had cryptococcal antigen in serum or cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) detected by a complement fixation (CF) test. Of the 47, 7 also had serum antibody. Antigen titers ranged from 1:1 to 1:2048 in CSF and from 1:4 to 1:512 in serum. Only six patients, four with cryptococcal meningoencephalitis, were negative to both serologic tests.
Among the patients with cryptococcal meningoencephalitis, those with Cryptococcus in india ink smears of CSF usually had cryptococcal antigen in blood, CSF, or both. Patients with negative india ink smears despite positive CSF cultures tended to have serum anticryptococcal antibody. The patients with anticryptococcal antibody were generally less ill than those with antigen and obtained a better response to therapy with amphotericin B.
Although the CF test for antigen has been specific for cryptococcosis, a few false-positive tests for antibody were found. Among 253 control sera, 1.6% were IFA positive, as were sera from 6% of blastomycosis patients and from 12% of histoplasmosis patients. A cryptococcal skin test was also noted to produce false-positive IFA reactions in 31% of 48 patients and could create errors in serologic diagnosis.
The two serologic tests used together have sufficient specificity and sensitivity to be a useful aid in the rapid diagnosis of cryptococcosis.

B's officially ink Seguin to three-year deal
|08.03.10 at 5:42 pm ET
The Bruins officially announced the signing of rookie forward Tyler Seguin, the second overall pick in this year's NHL draft, to a three-year, entry-level contract Tuesday. The terms of the deal were not immediately disclosed in accordance with team policy, but it is believed that the deal is similar to the one first-overall pick Taylor Hall received from Edmonton, which calls for a base salary of around $900,000 with performance escalators that could make the deal worth as much as $3.75 million yearly.
'He's obviously a high pick, and he performed well in our development camp,' Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said in a conference call. 'We thought it was time to sign him to give him piece of mind and make him feel part of the organization.'
The Bruins hope that Seguin's debut season can help erase the memory of last year's dismal finish and create some excitement again on Causeway Street. The 18-year-old's line of 48 goals and 58 assists in the Ontario Hockey League along with his YouTube-worthy highlights already have many B's fans buzzing about his arrival. His performance in his first time in black and gold at Bruins prospect development camp in July only added to the excitement.
'If I'm a fan and I see a young player like this that is an exciting, young player and people saw him at development camp, I'd be excited about seeing him play,' Chiarelli said.
Seguin did most of his damage in the OHL as a center, but Chiarelli did not commit to saying that he will hold a similar position should he make the squad out of training camp. With veterans Patrice Bergeron, David Krejci, Marc Savard and the newly acquired Greg Campbell already on the roster, there doesn't appear to be any room for the young forward at that position this season. He will most likely make his debut at one of the eight winger spots, but Chiarelli was willing to keep the options open.
'You never know. I've had discussions with Claude [Julien] about mixing and matching and shifting some positions around so I can't tell you with complete certainty where he'll play,' Chiarelli said.
With Seguin's signing now official, that gives the B's a total of 14 forwards on the roster including Marco Sturm, who will open the season on the long-term disabled list after suffering a major knee injury in the playoffs. That's two more than they'll need come opening day, but their options are still open according to Chiarelli.
'It's a roster that I'm very happy with now,' Chiarelli said. 'There are some spots for young players to earn spots. You're never done with your roster. I can't say we're definitively done with it. There are always things that crop up. We just saw a Stanley Cup-winning goalie become available on the free market so things happen. Things crop up so it's never done until the opening-day roster's filed.'
Bruins reportedly have deal with Seguin
|08.03.10 at 12:17 pm ET
According to multiple reports, the Bruins have agreed to an entry-level contract with Tyler Seguin, the No. 2 overall pick in April's NHL draft. The deal is believed to be similar to the contract top pick Taylor Hall signed with the Oilers last month ' a base salary of $900,000 with bonuses that could make it worth $3.75 million annually. An official announcement is expected this week.
Wheeler wants to be a scorer, play 'more physical'
|07.30.10 at 12:19 pm ET
Blake Wheeler has had his plate full this offseason. The 23-year-old recently got married and said he was operating on just three hours of sleep in the days leading up to Tuesday's arbitration hearing with the Bruins. After he was awarded a salary of $2.2 million for the 2010-11 season, the Bruins on Friday agreed to the terms, meaning he will be in the fold for the coming season.
Despite how hectic things may have been in planning a wedding and trying to figure out whether he would be back with the team he played his first two seasons for, a considerable amount of time in Wheeler's offseason has gone into becoming the player he and many others feel he can be.
"I think for me it's all about — especially on the forecheck — being more physical, more of a presence. I think I've gotten so focused on the offensive production and the numbers side of things, especially last year, where I think there's definitely more ways to be a contributing factor out on the ice," Wheeler said Friday. "It's just all about understanding your areas of strengths and your areas of weakness. I think if I can just assert myself more physically , especially on the forecheck and things of that nature, it's going to create a lot more opportunities for myself and the guys I'm playing with to get more offensive opportunities. Sometimes it's about less is more, and when you kind of take a step back from things, it's a little bit easier to notice where you may be able to improve on things."
Wheeler has fallen under criticism for not being physical enough for a forward of 6-foot-3 stature. However, as he works at being more aggressive on the forecheck, there are plenty of positives in his game. He scored 20 and 18 goals in his first two seasons, respectively, and his potential seems to be far from maxed out.
Despite having a respectable 83 points for someone entering their third season in the NHL, Wheeler is also hoping to show up more on the scoring sheet next season. As a result, he's made a big part of his offseason revolve around shooting. In fact, Wheeler is so eager to become a better scorer that he's made it so he can work from home.
"I think pretty much doing the exact same thing I did last summer. I came into camp probably in the best shape I've ever been in physically, mentally, all the above. My training's pretty much the same as it was last year. The thing I'm really focusing on is shooting pucks. I've been working on my shot quite a bit this summer, trying to do whatever it takes to extend my range a little bit," Wheeler said. "I set up a shooting tarp in my garage. Whenever there's nothing to do [I] just go out there and pump some pucks at the tarp, so I guess that's the only real difference, trying to work on the shot and things like that."
As Wheeler takes shot after shot in his garage in Minnesota, what does he look to accomplish?
"Getting comfortable shooting from farther away from the net. Any time you can put a shot on net from really anywhere — you know, top of the circle and in, it's going to be a pretty good look — so I think just getting that mentality and getting comfortable letting the puck go like that, is something that could really help me," Wheeler said. "I've obviously probably been more of a passer in my first two years and I think I'd like to close the gap a little bit and start shooting a little bit more, so working on that definitely will help."
The Bruins and Wheeler's camp each drove a hard bargain, but should they get their resources in order, $2.2 million for someone intent on addressing their weaknesses could be a pretty good deal.
Wheeler: Playing elsewhere 'never crossed my mind'
|07.30.10 at 11:40 am ET
With Friday's announcement that the Bruins have agreed to a salary awarded in arbitration for the first time since Peter Chiarelli took over as general manager, it became official that right wing Blake Wheeler would be back in Boston for the 2010-2011 season. The 23-year-old Wheeler told members of the media Friday that it's exactly where he wants to be.
"It never crossed my mind, being with another team," Wheeler said. "I think that would be a pretty big surprise for me, but throughout the whole process, even if that was an option, I definitely wanted to be in Boston. Not only because our group of guys is so good and we've had such a good locker room over the last couple of years and such great team chemistry. I think we're right on the cusp of getting to where we want to go. I think every guy in our room can feel that."
Arbitration is something that both sides generally like to avoid at all costs. A process in which a team basically has to tell a player he isn't as good he thinks he is can be rather difficult. Wheeler came away from the whole process pleased, however, with how both his camp and the Bruins were able to handle the hearing.
"Before the hearing, I was anxious, obviously. You hear all the horror stories of all the different things that go on in those rooms, but once I was in there and having both sides being argued, it was handled extremely professionally," Wheeler said. "There was nothing said in that room that I didn't already know myself. There were no low blows or anything like that taken on either side. "
Now that Wheeler is back on a one-year $2.2 million deal, he looks forward to getting back into the swing of things and making up for a disappointing Game 7 loss to the Flyers in the Eastern Conference semifinals.
"Last year was certainly heartbreaking in the sense that we were one win away for four games to going to the net ground and advancing our hopes of obviously winning the Stanley Cup," Wheeler said. "There's been a lot of excitement in the moves that have been made."
Bruins sign Wheeler
|07.30.10 at 10:21 am ET
After having to wait extra long to find out what his 2010-2011 salary would be Thursday, Bruins right wing Blake Wheeler's $2.2 award was agreed to Friday morning by the Bruins.
'It is never a pleasant experience for either side to go to arbitration,' Bruins general manager Peter Chiarelli said. 'However, as a manager, you know that the player will be under contract for the following year either way. We talked to Blake before and after the hearing and we are satisfied to have a good, young player under contract for another year.'
In Wheeler the Bruins retain a young forward who has averaged just under 20 goals in his first two NHL seasons. The 6-foot-3 winger scored 18 goals and 20 assists for 38 points last season.
The team likely will now its attention to inking rookie center Tyler Seguin, the second overall pick in June's NHL draft.
Wheeler gets $2.2 million
|07.29.10 at 8:40 pm ET
The wait for Bruins right winger Blake Wheeler is finally over. A source has confirmed to WEEI.com that Wheeler received a $2.2 million award in arbitration Thursday night. The Boston Globe was the first to report the story.
The 23-year-old forward and the Bruins were expected to be made aware of the award by award by noon on Thursday, but the arbiter had her hands full with Blackhawks goaltender Antti Niemi's hearing and delayed the decision.
"The decision came in the range we expected. There were no winners or losers in this case," Wheeler's agent, Matt Keator, told WEEI.com. "Blake is excited for camp and ready to go."
The Bruins now have 48 hours to sign Wheeler to the $2.2 million, which Keator assumes the team will do. Should the Bruins agree to the awarded salary, they will retain Wheeler for the upcoming season, after which he will become a free agent. Keeping him would open a second buyout window, which could help them clear some room against the salary cap. Should the Bruins walk away from the ruling, Wheeler will become a free agent and they will get nothing in return for him.
The Bruins also made minor news on Thursday, inking Yale defenseman Ryan Donald to a two-year contract to play in Providence.
Wheeler decision delayed
|07.29.10 at 3:43 pm ET
A source confirmed to WEEI.com that Bruins right winger Blake Wheeler has yet to receive his award in his arbitration case because the arbiter was tied up with Annti Niemi's hearing with the Blackhawks. The source indicated that the delay could last until Friday but remained hopeful of receiving word. Fluto Shinzawa of the Boston Globe was the first to report the delay.
Word on Wheeler's award was supposed to come down by noon on Thursday, as it is required to be given within 48 hours of the initial hearing. The Bruins and Wheeler met Tuesday morning from 9 a.m. to noon.

Jon Scott:
Wes Welker -- Welker showed up to play in the team's first drive. When many never thought that he would even play in this game, Welker disproves the naysayers by catching the first pass of the 2010 regular season pass and scoring the first Patriots touchdown. Welker finished with 8 catches for 64 yards and a pair of scores.
Defensive Pressure – Contrary to popular belief, the Patriots front seven were able to contain the Bengals ground game while still applying pressure on Carson Palmer. Holding Benson and co to under 100 yards was a big plus. Pressure led to bad throws and a Pick-6.
Special Teams – with the exception of the FG unit, the Patriots special teams won the battle of field position, as well as putting points up on the board. Brandon Tate's 97-yard KO return for a TD was a big play. The containment on kickoffs kept the Bengals from good field position, ultimately helping the Offernse.
Honorable Mention:
Gary Guyton – Nice undercut of the route covering Jermaine Gresham to pick off Carson Palmer. Guyton then took the ball 59 yards to put New England up 24-0 just when the Bengals looked like they were building some momentum on offense.
James Christensen:
Patriots Offensive Line - The new-look offensive line took it easy on the laundry staff, keeping Tom Brady's jersey nearly sparkling white. They were also able to open some cracks and holes for Fred Taylor and company, leading to a team rushing average of over 5 yards per carry.
Bill O'Brien - After a tough 2009 season, Coach O'Brien had a great day as the offensive play-caller. He mixed it up the calls really well, with Brady throwing it 35 times and the Patriots rushing the ball 23 times.
Pat Chung - Twelve tackles on opening day is nothing to sneeze at. Chung hammered Bengals ball-carries all day, rarely allowing any meaningful yards after contact.
Ochocinco and TO at the half – Leaving early to get hydrated or get "looked at" are hardly good reasons to miss a Hail Mary pass Though Lewis deflected questions about the pair after the game, this could be the beginning of the type of distraction that keeps the Bengals from becoming a winning organization. The pair are all about individualism.
Stephen Gostkowski – His kickoffs were good as expected, but missing two field goals was not something Gostkowski is prone to doing. He'll need to improve accuracy on those long attempts. Gost let the Bengals kicker set the record for longest FG at Gillette (54 yards). Had a chance to set a new record on his second miss from 56 yards out.
Second Half Defense – Hardly a goat, but still a negative. When the Patriots could have snuffed out drives to stop any hope Cincinnati had of a comebacker, the team pulled out that bend-don't-break style of play again. The first half the defense kept Cincinnati 's offense to just 2 of 7 on third down, 156 net yards and just 3 points. The second half defense allowed and 6 of 8 third down conversions, 272 yards and 21 points.
James Sanders - Getting the start in place of Brandon Meriweather, Sanders had a rough day. His missed tackles and slow reactions in coverage have me questioning whether we will be seeing newly acquired safety Jarrad Page sooner, rather than later.
Stephen Gostkowski and Jake Ingram - It's a tough call to find another two "goats" after such an impressive win, but the duo of Gostkowski and Ingram have to shore things up on the placekicking. Zoltan Mesko twice had to reach for snaps, while Gostkowski's missing two long field goals isn't how you want to start a season. Gostkowski did redeem himself with powerful kickoffs, as the Bengals average starting field-position after kickoffs was only the 21 yard line.

History in the United States
Spotted knapweed was introduced to North America from Eurasia as a contaminant in alfalfa and possibly clover seed, and through discarded soil used as ship ballast. It was first recorded in Victoria, British Columbia in 1883 and spread further in domestic alfalfa seeds and hay before it was recognized as a serious problem.

Frightening. Your Majesty. Call it a duelling scar. The ladies will love you all the more. I bow to your knowledge of the ladies, Sire. You can get up now. Sir Robert. You will know of me, perhaps. I'm William Marshal.

It's just been a few days since Apple TV added Cricket Australia, that it's picked up another sports channel. This time it's the Tennis Channel Everywhere app, which is the Apple TV counterpart of Tennis Channel.
apple tv
We've been hearing rumors of a gesture-based interface for the Apple TV since Apple acquired PrimeSense, the company behind motion sensors for the Microsoft Kinect. We've also seen Apple applying for many patents regarding the same in the past but, we expected all of them to just disappear into the heaps of patents Apple frequently avails but never uses.
Cricket fans in Australia are going to love their Apple TVs a bit more thanks to the new Cricket Australia channel. It is the official channel of cricket.com.au, which is the highest governing body in the country for professional and amateur cricketing.
Here's the issue: you live or are visiting a part of the world where you cannot access your favorite streaming sites. When you visit Netflix, the following shows:
We first heard about AllCast more than a year back when it was shown off in beta on Android. Coming from the Cyanogen Mode developer Koushik Dutt, it promised the ability to mirror your phone to a variety of devices including Apple TV. Last month, it went out of beta on Android and a few days back, popped up on the App Store.
CES 2015 was overwhelmed by the smart home concept, with many manufacturers announcing their own home automation systems, while others showing off their Apple HomeKit enabled devices. And thanks to anonymous disclosures by the company spokespersons, we now probably know the exact role of Apple TV in HomeKit.

BEAUMONT (AP) - Three area funeral homes have sued a competitor who purchased variations of their names for use as Internet address sites.
The owners of Kelley-Hixon, Kelley-Watkins and Levingston funeral homes filed a lawsuit in federal court last week against Jim Broussard, co-owner of Broussard's Mortuary in Beaumont.
They accuse Broussard of cybersquatting, registering of Internet domain names to be sold for profit.
Broussard declined to comment on why he bought the domain names but said it was a misunderstanding.
He purchased the names the past two years from Register.com, which registers and maintains Internet site names.

Talking to an experienced counsellor can be a great relief. Being listened to with warmth and understanding is often healing. You may gain new insights, fresh ways of moving forward and confidence in your own strengths. Counselling, Supervision and Focusing are in North West London, covering Stanmore, Harrow, Edgware, Pinner & Bushy. My approach is Person-centred .
The misery and loneliness of depression; Stress, anxiety, panic and fear; Shock and grief following a bereavement; The ending of a relationship; Anger and rage which might affect your bonds with family, friends and colleagues. Some people find that they are easily overcome by their emotions and want to work with this aspect of themselves.
Tensions within your family or as part of a couple.
Perhaps your life is different now due to illness, divorce, children leaving home, or retirement and you want to consider the changes, and look towards the future hopefully.
You might have experienced a traumatic event, or lived with the distress of ongoing trauma. The children of survivors can also be affected by their parents' past, including holocaust survivors.
You may be struggling with an addiction, having difficulties with eating, or affected emotionally by conditions such as dyslexia and dyspraxia.
If you have suffered abuse and bullying you can talk about your experiences and their impact, we can address the emotional effects. There is support for people who self harm or feel suicidal.
Therapy is also for self-development. You can explore your personality and your interactions with others, considering your growth socially, psychologically and spiritually.
You may wish to look at how you identify yourself. This can include your beliefs, values, ethnicity, gender and sexuality.
Counselling is a space for whatever matters to you. It is an opportunity to learn more about yourself as well as how you are and how you want to be in relationships with other people. Whilst we are together you might choose to step into painful and fearful areas of your life. If so I will be beside you and we will walk at your pace.
More information about Paula Newman Counsellor in Stanmore
Counselling in Harrow covers Bushy, Stanmore, and Pinner, with daytime and evening appointments. More information about counselling.
During supervision counsellors explore their work and their personal and professional development. This is for their client's benefit and for their own well being. I view supervision as an important relationship that is supportive and at the same time encourages you to challenge yourself.
Supervision is for trainee and experienced counsellors and for people in caring professions such as medical and teaching staff. I am an approved supervisor for Metanoia and a BACP Senior Accredited Supervisor and counsellor in Stanmore HA7. More information about supervision including BACP recommendations and requirements..
Perhaps you would like to know yourself at a deeper level, to understand what is going on inside, and to work with any areas that are causing stress and pain.
Focusing recognizes that our bodies know and can tell us what we need for physical and emotional health. We may discover fresh perspectives that help with decision making.
If you are interested in having Focusing sessions in North West London please feel free to contact me. More information about Focusing.
Focusing Workshops in North West London
For people interested in personal development
The Certificate is designed with the intention of gently reinforcing and furthering your development as Focuser and Companion, it encourages self-awareness and self-acceptance. You do not need to have had any experience to start. Learning in a group setting can be fun whilst also enhancing personal growth. Focusing workshops are in North West London. I am a Certified Trainer with the Focusing Institute and a recognized teacher with The British Focusing Association.
For counsellors and therapists
Focusing is a special way of listening to your inner self allowing for deeper insights and understandings. You can be more in touch with what you are experiencing whilst you are with clients adding to the quality of your work. There are also opportunities to consider bringing Focusing to your own practice and how this might be implemented. Having learnt the basics you might like to Focus during supervision. This can enhance reflections and bring fresh understandings.

HERE'S WHAT we learned Monday from watching Sue Paterno on "Katie."
Sue Paterno loved her husband dearly.
Here's what we learned after the show's host, Katie Couric, interviewed three of Paterno's five children.
His kids loved him dearly, too.
There will be no happy ending to this story. If ever there is an ending. No matter who argues what, there will be no clarity as to what Joe Paterno knew, what he didn't want to know, or whether he hindered investigations of Jerry Sandusky's atrocious conduct that might have spared some victims.
Those who wish to believe Joe Paterno was not part of a cover-up will cling to the family's lengthy and sometimes convincing rebuttal of the Freeh report findings released over the weekend. Those who believe that Freeh's conclusions were unavoidable and obvious based on his findings will continue to do so, discounting former FBI profiler Jim Clemente's criticisms and alternate conclusions.

The company began in 1834 with the formation of a distillery owned by Casa Róxas, a partnership between Domingo Róxas and Antonio de Ayala.[2] The distillery was the maker of Ginebra San Miguel which was later acquired by La Tondeña, Inc. in 1929.
In the late 19th century, Ayala participated in the construction of the Puente de Ayala (Ayala Bridge) over the Pasig River in Manila. Built of wood in 1872, the bridge was reconstructed in steel in 1908 and became the first steel bridge in the Philippines. In 1888, Ayala introduced the first tramcar service in the Philippines. Ayala was responsible for the development of Makati as the financial district of Manila and the Philippines after World War II.
In April 2010, FinanceAsia named Ayala Corporation as the best-managed company in the Philippines, as well as best for corporate governance and best for corporate social responsibility.[3]
In 2011, Ayala began building its renewable energy portfolio, beginning with a joint venture with Mitsubishi for solar power, the purchase of the iconic Northwind farm for wind power, and its joint venture with Sta. Clara Power for run-of-the-river hydro power. Ayala will contribute 1000 MW to the Philippine power supply, by 2015.[4] In 2015, FinanceAsia awarded Ayala Corporation as the Best Managed Company in the Philippines in the 15th annual survey of top public companies in Asia.

Retirement of the Ayala chairman[edit]
In January 2006, the board of directors publicly announced the decision by Jaime Zóbel de Ayala to retire as chairman of the corporation by April 2006. The board also announced Zobel de Ayala's appointment as chairman emeritus upon his retirement. His elder son, Jaime Augusto Zóbel de Ayala, succeeded him as Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of the corporation, while his younger son, Fernando Zóbel de Ayala, has assumed the position of President and Chief Operating Officer. The Zóbel de Ayala family's holding company, Mermac, Inc., continues to hold the controlling stake in Ayala Corporation.[49]
Oldest business house in Philippines[edit]
In 2014, Ayala celebrated its 180th anniversary. The company is credited for having contributed to the socio-economic development of the Philippines.[50]

Ruth, an African-American girl in her early teens, is lost. Her father is long gone. Her overworked mother is rarely around. Her beloved brother is dead. It's 1969, and, while Ruth should be in school, she is watching TV instead.
In "To the Promised Land" - unveiled by First Stage Children's Theater on Friday night - playwright Jonathan Gillard Daly links Ruth's struggles with another coming-of-age story that unfolded in Milwaukee, where a young Golda Meir underwent her own journey of self-discovery.
