Biography of Max Schmeling
Maximillian Adolph Otto Siegfried Schmeling (September 28, 1905 February 2, 2005) was a German boxer who was heavyweight champion of the world between 1930 and 1932. His two fights with Joe Louis in the late 1930s transcended boxing and became worldwide social events because of their national associations. Despite his supposed associations with Nazism, it became known long after the Second World War that Schmeling had risked his own life to save the lives of two Jewish children in 1938. While Schmeling was never a supporter of the Nazi regime in Germany, he cooperated with the government's efforts to play down the increasingly negative international world view of its domestic policies during the 1930s. Schmeling served with the German Air Force (Luftwaffe) as an elite paratrooper (...

[MEXICO]Atlante held UNAM to a 0-0 tie Thursday in the first leg of the Torneo Apertura finals played in Mexico City, its old home.
Pumas, eighth in the regular season, had knocked off top-seed Santos, 5-4, on aggregate in the semifinals but couldn't break down the stingy Atlante defense in the first leg of the finals. Former Colorado Rapids midfielder Alain Nkong came on in the 90th minute for Atlante.
The second leg will be played Sunday at Cancun's Estadio Quintana Roo (TV: TeleFutura, live, 8 pm ET).
Atlanta moved this season from Mexico City to Cancun. The Mexican league is one of the leagues in the world that allows the movement of clubs from one city to another in the tradition of American pro sports.

We've all got things in our past that we'd like to keep hidden. It's human nature to present ourselves in the best possible light, meaning that we keep our skeletons tucked into the furthest recesses of our closet. Or, better yet, buried in our backyard, deep enough that even scavenging creatures with long, sharp claws can't unearth them.
As an editor and writer, some of my mistakes are very public and very embarrassing, but they're generally limited to typos and other journalistic errors. Those of you in the field of pupil transportation, however, don't have the luxury of letting your guard down because, unlike a typo in a magazine, a lapse in a school bus can result in injury or death.
Which is why school bus drivers in all states are required to undergo criminal background checks before they're hired. Some states require a state criminal background check as well as a federal one, which involves FBI analysis of fingerprint samples.
Many, many driver applicants have been disqualified because of their criminal histories. I'll bet that some of them would have made great bus drivers. But school districts and contractors can't take the chance that they might repeat their offense or, worse, commit an even more serious offense.
Felony conviction unearthed
I recently read a newspaper article about a transportation director who resigned after it was discovered that he apparently lied on his job application about his criminal background. According to the story, he was convicted of a felony for leaving the scene of a fatal hit-and-run accident in 1986. He allegedly ran over and killed a bicyclist and drove off without notifying anyone.
Would you want someone like this running your transportation department, even for a day? The reason I ask is that the school district hired this man and allowed him to work for more than three months before receiving the results of his federal background check, which uncovered his felony conviction in another state.
Although job applicants at this school system do have to pass the state criminal background check before starting employment, they are given the green light to work until the FBI results come in. As many of you know, this process can take months, depending on the backlog of applicants. Sure, it's inconvenient to have to wait until the federal background check is performed, but it seems to me that school districts and contractors should wait until the results are in before putting the applicant to work.
Shortages create pressure
Yes, I know, a shortage of bus drivers puts a lot of pressure on employers to get new hires up and running as soon as possible. In this case, however, the risks outweigh the benefits. Imagine if the transportation director mentioned earlier had committed a serious error in judgment that led to the injury or death of a student or department employee. Any competent lawyer would have uncovered his felony conviction and questioned the district's decision to put him on the job before the federal background check was completed.
I don't know how many states allow bus drivers to begin transporting students before their state and/or federal background checks are completed, but school bus operators need to resist the temptation to allow them to transport students until everything checks out. It's an unfortunate fact of life that people are willing to lie on their job applications with the hope that their skeletons are buried deep enough that we'll never find them.

Butter Substitute
Total Time
Prep 2 mins
Cook 0 mins
If you are looking for a butter alternative that tastes good and doesn't' cost a fortune, this is for YOU. It is made with coconut oil as a main ingredient, so you can get the health properties of this tropical oil. However, if you don't like, don't use, or can't find coconut, this can be made with any food grade oil.
Ingredients Nutrition
- 118.29 ml butter
- 118.29 ml buttermilk
- 118.29 ml coconut oil
- Whip butter in bowl (hand mixer is best).
- Whip in buttermilk and oil, alternating, until incorporated in butter.
- Chill and serve.
Most Helpful
Compared to butter, coconut oil (virgin, unprocessed) has been found to have a myriad of health benefits. Grumblebee may want to do a little reading before basing her opinion solely on the fact it's classified as a "saturated" fat.
Completely agree with fluffitude! Coconut has so many benefits! Sometimes in this life, you need to weigh the good and the bad, and with coconut oil there is so much good!
I am not sure why anyone would make this normally. coconut oil's fat is almost entirely the saturated kind... it has even more saturated fat than butter! while this recipe is something one could use in a pinch to stretch their regular butter, i would not use this normally or outside of an "emergency" (where i'm running low on butter)

State Fair musicians offer wide range of sounds, genres
When some people want to dis the Summerfest lineup, they liken it to Wisconsin State Fair. True, the headliners for the cream puff-powered soiree aren't always on the cutting edge (The Turtles featuring Flo & Eddie, anyone?). But State Fair is Wisconsin's most diverse entertainment offering, and that carries over to the music.

In First Stage's 'Crash,' a football player learns how to hug
Recalling young actor Seth Horne from past First Stage shows, what stands out is a seemingly incorruptible innocence, inscribed in a sensitive, open face that reflects an unabashed enthusiasm for life. In a memorable show like "Charlie and the Chocolate Factory," for example, Horne's projection of Charlie's fundamental, rock-solid goodness stood in stark contrast to the bratty kids accompanying Charlie on tour.
But kids grow up, often losing their sense of magic along the way; many of them become bullies. In the First Stage production of "Crash," that's the rocky road being traveled by seventh-grader John "Crash" Coogan — convincingly played by Horne, in the Defense Cast of alternating young actors I saw Saturday night. »Read Full Article

Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
Prepping for the first game of 2nd Round WBC play in San Diego on Sunday, Team Japan edged the Chicago Cubs 3-2 at Dwight Patterson Field at HoHoKam Park on a cool & breezy Thursday afternoon in Mesa, AZ.
Only 6,591 fans attended the game, but it was one of the best Spring Training games I've seen in a while. There were several fine defensive plays by both teams, and Team Japan put on a clinic in the finer points of baseball fundamentals.
Carlos Zambrano got the start for the Cubs, and I guess for him it was almost like pitching in the WBC. Except instead of wearing a Team Venezuela jersey, he was clad in familiar Cubbie pinstripes.
Facing essentially a major league lineup of Japanese players that included the likes of Ichiro Suzuki, Kosuke Fukudome, Kenji Johjima, and Akinori Iwamura, Zambrano retired the first six hitters in a row on just 18 pitches (combined) over the first two innings.
But "Z" hit a bump in the road in the 3rd, laboring through the inning while throwing 27 pitches. The big right-hander allowed two runs (one earned) in the inning, on a lead-off single by Johjima, a one-out RBI triple by Munenori Kawasaki, and a walk to Ichiro. (The second run scored when Paul Bako got out of his crouch too early on a "safety-squeeze" bunt attempt by Yasuyuki Kataoka, as the ball glanced off Bako's glove and rolled back to the screen behind home plate). Zambrano averted further trouble by sucking it up and getting Kataoka on an infield pop up and striking out Norichika Aoki.
"Z" gave up a one-out double in the 4th to Michihiro Ogasawara, but retired Fukudome on an F-8 (runner took 3rd) and Johjima on a 6-3 GO to complete his work for the day.
Zambrano's final line showed 4.0 IP, 3 H, 2 R (1 ER), 1 BB, and 2 K, 60 pitches (40 strikes), 3/7 GO/FO.
The Cubs threatened to score in the bottom of the 2nd against Team Japan starter Yu Darvish, loading the bases on consecutive one-out singles to the outfield by Mike Fontenot and Reed Johnson and a walk to Paul Bako. But Zambrano (who was apparently allowed to be his own DH today) and Alfonso Soriano struck out swinging to end the threat.
The Cubs did plate a run in the 4th off Satoshi Komatsu, however, as Fontenot singled again, and advanced to second on a WP, before scoring on an RBI single to CF by Bako. But Tetsuya Yamaguchi was brought into the gamre in relief of Komatsu, and struck out Zambrano swinging (again) and induced Soriano to bounce into a FC to end the inning.
With the Cubs now down 2-1, Kevin Gregg pitched the top of the 5th, and had an easy 1-2-3 inning, getting two routine fly outs and a 4-3 GO on just 13 pitches (eight strikes). Gregg really doesn't like to mess around, and while his stuff is by no means "Marmol Electric," he does throw strikes, sort of like the 2007 version of Bob Howry.
Rule 5 RHP David Patton worked the 6th, and had his worst outing of the Spring, allowing one run on one hit, two walks, and no strikeouts, while throwing 25 pitches (only 11 strikes). He got the first two hitters out easily on just 10 pitches (although one of the outs required a diving catch by RF Doug Deeds), but then he had a complete control meltdown, throwing eight consecutive balls and walking two hitters in a row, before grooving a two out fastball to Kosuke Fukudome that resulted in a line-drive RBI single to left-center.
As a Rule 5 pick, Patton will certainly get more leeway to fail than the average rookie pitcher in big league camp, but that doesn't mean he can afford another outing like the one he had today. His roster spot is not guaranteed.
The one thing that stood out about Patton in his previous outings was his ability to throw strikes and his poise. I doubt very much that Patton's sudden loss of control could have made Uncle Lou very happy. Patton looked like a real "A"-baller today, digging himself deeper and deeper into a hole as the inning progressed.
Angel Guzman threw the 7th inning, and had a decent outing. He pitched around a lead-off bloop single to left that fell in front of So Taguchi (who must have been playing LF in the parking lot behind the scoreboard) followed by a stolen base (Gooz just wasn't paying attention to the runner), but he followed that with a strikeout (swinging) and two infield pop ups to get out of the inning.
Neal Cotts had an eventful day that started before he took the mound. While warming up to go into the game, Cotts apparently got a spike caught somewhere on the bullpen mound and did a header straight into the ground. Not too much the worse for wear, Cotts brushed himself off, entered the game, and worked a solid inning, allowing a one-out single while striking out one. Despite what would seem to be a rather hum-drum inning where he faced only four hitters, Cotts still somehow managed to throw 25 pitches, but only four of the pitches were balls!
Yes, Cotts may have set a record for a four-batter inning by throwing 21 strikes. The reason for the high pitch total for the inning (and the high number of strikes) was that the Japanese hitters kept fouling off pitch after pitch, most notably the #3 hitter in the inning (Senchi Uchikawa) who kept getting the hit & run sign and then kept fouling off Cotts' best offerings. It was a real battle, but Cotts did not cave-in (he made about a half-dozen throws to 1st base to keep the runner close), and he got though his inning with no real difficulty (other than throwing a lot of pitches and falling flat on his face in the bullpen).
Randy Wells worked his usual ridiculously ultra-efficient 1-2-3 inning in the top of the 9th, retiring the side on just five pitches (all five strikes), including three ground balls to SS Andres Blanco, who fumbled the second one for an error before starting a 6-3 DP to end the frame.
The Cubs offense made noise throughout the game, but had trouble getting the big hit. After scoring their first run in the bottom of the 4th, the Cubs threatened to score in both the 5th and 7th innings, too, but they just couldn't get the key hit when it was needed.
Derrek Lee laced a double to the right-centerfield fence off Yamaguchi with one out in the 5th and advanced to 3rd base on a wild pitch, but Milton Bradley struck out swinging (and then angrily broke the bat over his knee) and Aramis Ramirez popped up to short RF, leaving D-Lee stranded at 3rd. Bradley got some boos after his anger management demonstration, and while he took the field (without a limp) after the 5th, he was pulled out of the game (along with most of the other starters) before Team Japan hit in the top of the 6th.
The Cubs threatened to score again with one out in the bottom of the 7th, as Andres Blanco lined a single to LF and Micah Hoffpauir (facing LHP Toshiya Sugiuchi) crushed a ground rule double that bounced off the warning track and up and over the fence in left-center. But then Doug Deeds lined a rocket that was caught by second-baseman Iwamura (outstanding diving stab going to his left), and Luis Rivas grounded out to short to end the inning.
Down 3-1, the Cubs took their last shot in the bottom of the 9th against Team Japan closer Kyuji Fujikawa. Jake Fox led off and had an outstanding nine-pitch AB before roping a line double into the left-center gap on a 3-2 pitch It may have been the best at-bat I've ever seen from Fox, who usually is dead meat once he's got two strikes. Too bad there isn't room for Foxy on the Cubs bench. He'd make a nice RHPH.
Taguchi was up next, and he smoked a double into the right-centerfield alley, scoring Fox. What was somewhat troubling about the hit is that Fukudome (having moved to CF from RF in the 7th) took an "up & out" route instead of a straight-line run to the ball, although he most likely would not have been able to catch it even if he had run a better route.
So with the tying run on 2nd and no outs, Team Japan had a full pow-wow on the mound, planning a defense for a presumed sacrifice bunt attempt by the normally light-hitting Andres Blanco. And Blanco did indeed try a bunt (which he fouled-off), before surprising everybody in the park by swinging away and lining a laser beam headed toward RF. But Team Japan first-baseman Senchi Uchikawa made a sensational sprawling, diving catch, as Taguchi got back to 2nd base safely to avoid getting doubled off.
Micah Hoffpauir was up next and had a golden opportunity to be the hero, but he struck out (swinging) on three pitches. A wild pitch then moved Taguchi to 3rd base with two outs, but he died there as Doug Deeds also went down swinging.
For the day, the Cubs hitters had ten hits and drew three walks, but they also accrued six LOB in scoring position, and struck out 12 times (five times with men in scoring position).
Kosuke Fukudome played the entire game for Team Japan, starting in RF and then moving to CF in the 7th inning. He got a big hand and a lot of cheers from both the Team Japan fans and the Cubs fans each time he came to the plate. For the day, Kosuke went 1-4, with a line-drive RBI single and three fly outs. He made good contact all four times, and generally speaking, he looked a lot more like the Fukudome of the first part of 2008 than the last part. Seeing so many Japanese players together at the same time showed me how many of them hit exactly the same way Fukudome does, with that forward weight-transfer and push onto the front foot right before contact.
It's back to Cactus League action for the Cubs tomorrow, with a "split squad" headed to Tempe Diablo Stadium to play the Angels, while the other squad remains in Mesa to play the Seattle Mariners.
And good luck to Team Japan in the WBC. They brought a lot of loyal fans to the game today, and they really seemed had a good time, even with the annoying presence of Ronnie Woo Woo roaming the aisles. He was at Minor League Camp at Fitch Park yesterday, too.
Maybe Woo Woo can follow Team Japan to San Diego and give all the WBC fans out there that gift of his that keeps on giving.
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
Great description, Phil. I almost don't miss being able to watch it because of you.
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
Thanks, Phil!
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
Az Phil, are the full minor lge squads practicing now? Thanks.
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
Thanks for the great report, Phil.
Where do you see the Bako/Hill sweepstakes at this point?
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
but Milton Bradley struck out swinging (and then angrily broke the bat over his knee)
Zambrano's already rubbing off on Bradley? Those wacky switch hitters, do they practice bat breaking in spring training too? Is Bradley better at breaking his bat over his knee from the left or right side?
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
Breaking bats is RISKY business. We don't need him MONOPOLIZING the dl this year. He does that too much he'll be SORRY.
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
I DONT WANT TO SPILL THE BEANS, but I think breaking bats is part of his STRATEGO. If he gets it down to PERFECTION he'll be able to exclaim YAHTZEE and scream "GUESS WHO's the best!".
I just hope he doesn't TWISTER up his knee one of these times he is yelling at an umpire.
I also hope the bleacher bums don't start taunting him, that could just open up a BARREL FULL OF MONKEYS with Bradley and BOGGLE his mind. The bleacher bums need to get a CLUE and realize that yelling racial slurs is a bit of a TABOO. But I guess it's all just part of THE GAME OF LIFE, dealing with idiot who can't count high enough to play CONNECT FOUR.
But if Milton starts hitting, it'll be MALL MADNESS trying to get his jersey at the local Sports Authority.
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
About half of those on both of your posts are actually Parker Brothers and not Milton Bradley (Clue, Monopoly, Risk, Boggle, etc.) but well-played nonetheless.
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
Don't steal my joy!
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
We had most of those games growing up and I remember the boxes. Also Parker Brothers is somewhat famous for Monopoly since it claims to be the most played commercial board game world-wide.
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
I checked out Clue! from the library the other day. Still a great movie.
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
WISC, i bet you love going around telling little kids that Santa and the Easter Bunny aren't real too, huh?
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
Sorry, if I had known you would have been just as crushed as a kid who found out Santa wasn't real, I would have held my tongue!
I also said it was well-played regardless, fwiw.
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
very well done...
Hasbro owns both Parker Brothers and Milton Bradley, fwiw, although they still have their own brands.
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
Yeah, Milton Bradley was acquired in the mid-80s. Parker Brothers was owned by General Mills of all companies, who also owned Kenner - of starting line-up fame - until it sold them to Tonka, and then Tonka was bought out by Hasbro.
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
The Milton Bradley games are only played when they feel like being taken out of their boxes.
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
I would rather have him breaking bats than going after umpires or announcers.
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
He doesn't have a CLUE how to react to a K.
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
Wow... Mike Fontenot is having a good spring. I hadn't even noticed til now.
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
How many guys have been sent down to minor league camp so far?
Re: Cubs Clutch Hitting Gets Lost in the Translation
Thank you, Phil! Great info, as always!!!
Any thoughts on Doug Deeds? His bat has, no doubt, opened a few eyes this spring...
What do you make of the log jam of outfielders likely headed to Iowa? Dubois, Fuld, Robnett, Snyder, Deeds... if Hoffpauir doesn't make the roster I imagine they'll try to get him some work at the corner spots, with Jake Fox playing at first. Maybe Robnett to AA? Of the group, he strikes me as the most raw hitter...
Recent comments
J-Hey not finishing with an offensive onslaught.
If Geoff Blum could be a Playoff hero, there is hope still...
Giants scare me. I think you're wrong about Bumgarner, he would pitch on short rest for Game 2 and then full rest for Game 5. Cueto would go Game 1, then short rest in game 4. Add in some really tough outs in that lineup and I want nothing to do with them. With that rotation they can easily steal a series.
Cards are a tough matchup. The rivalry evens out their comparable lack of talent. And like someone said, they love HRs, which is how to beat the Cubs. The upside is that I would feel really good about Lester twice against STL.
j.buchanan with a nice start...5ip 2h 1bb 3k, 0r/er

Mark Gonzales @MDGonzales
Soler likely to return Sunday, Maddon says
Right now, I'd like to see the Mets first, Giants 2nd.
I believe that since most of the team from last years' NLCS is on the squad this year, they will really amp their game up even more to kick their ass in payback for 2015.
The Giants just do not have the depth in years past, and I think all things equal - and at Wrigley - they could handle them.
I do not want to see the Cards, period. Or their fans, media, or Joe Buck.
I don't want to play Braves in the first round. Any friggin team in the league can win 3 of 5..I hate the first round. Furthermore, I wanted to play the Marlins in 2003 and the Mets over Dodgers last year.
With that said in reverse order:
3. Cardinals: It will be devastating to lose in the first round, but even worse to their main rival. It is increased incentive for the Cardinals, especially after last year. Cards would have nothing to lose, Cubs have everything to lose.
2. Giants: Rotation in the playoffs scare me a bit, but what a lousy team.
1. Mets--because of the losses in the rotation
2. Giants--because they're not the team they were BUT they maybe have bullshit even-year magic?
3. Cardinals--because rivalry and not making the playoffs hurts them more than losing in the NLDS plus getting eliminated by them in the playoffs would make for horrible sports commentary next throughout next season.
Who's asking?
CLE/DET rained out last night already, possible rain-outs in New York (vs. Baltimore), Boston(vs. Toronto) and Philly(vs. Mets) this weekend too.
Not only games involving playoff spots that would need to be played, but any that involve home field advantage.
I got the first one! Second one I'm not even sure what even/odd betting is.
any opponent preference for NLDS?
Mets are down to 1 great pitcher instead of 4. Syndegaard may pitch Sunday which means if Mets win the WC game, he'd be set up for Game 1. There's a chance they clinch a spot by Sunday so he'd pitch the WC and then we'd probably get Colon for Game 1. They've certainly had the hottest bats over the last week and month out of the WC options.
A couple of Cub related puzzles.
Can't teach height and thinness
Hopefully Pirates don't call up A. Lincoln.
j.buchanan going friday...should be...baseball...or something like it.
Wow. I didn't know they could do that.
Nice for Willson, not so much for Addy.

A Spec Ops: The Line demo featuring two sections from the single-player campaign has gone live today, exclusively for Xbox Live Gold subscribers, offering you the chance to get your hands on the story-driven component of the game set amid a ruined, war torn Dubai.
Embarking upon a search through the sandstorm-ridden city to find Colonel John Konrad, Captain Martin Walker must lead his Delta Force recon team, encountering Walker's former 33rd battalion who've gone rogue along the way. The Damned 33rd are all over Dubai, committing all manner of atrocities, murdering innocent civilians and sparking a civil war on the buried streets.
You can download the demo now, providing you have the requisite 1.45GB space on your HDD. It's available only to Xbox Live Gold subs for the time being, but will be available to all from May 15th. You can add the Spec Ops: The Line demo to your download queue here, then why not give our single-player and multiplayer previews a read?

Msgr. Henry B. Degnan, 91, retired pastor of St. Joseph Parish in Aston, who delivered wise counsel and one-liners along with the homily, died Monday, Jan. 28, of a heart attack at Mercy Suburban Hospital.
"It's heaven's gain," said the Rev. Joseph C. Dieckhaus of Exton, a friend and colleague.
Msgr. Degnan, known as "Harry," was born on Aug. 20, 1921, the Feast of St. Bernard, from which his middle name was derived.
Raised in Norristown, Msgr. Degnan attended St. Patrick School, but was expected to take public transportation to West Catholic High School for Boys.
He told a story about asking his mother how to get there. "I've given you the fare. What more do you need?" he quoted her as saying.

Upgrade or change the look of your above ground pool with one of our great-looking, high-quality pool replacement liners.
A beaded liner installs into a track or "snaps in" to a channel. Beaded liners are the easiest to replace. There is no removal of your top rails. Using a bead receiver that hangs over the top of an above ground pool wall, the beaded pool liner simply snaps into the receiver and gives you a professional look.
An overlap liner installs by overlapping the top of the pool wall and is covered with a coping strip. To install an overlap style liner, the top rail of the pool is removed all the way around the pool. The liner is put in the pool and hangs over the top of the walls of the pool. Long plastic clips go down over the vinyl pool liner and the top wall, holding liner in place. After the top rails are put back on the pool, the excess liner hanging down on the outside of the pool is simply trimmed.
A J-hook liner resembles an upside-down J. The liner's J-hook simply slips over the top of your pool wall and hangs straight and securely into your pool.
The (J-Track)/Unibead liner is multi-functional. Use as J-Hook liner or remove J-Hook and use with bead receiver as beaded liner. This lip is snapped into a track that runs all the way around the inside of the pool, up at the very top of the pool wall. This track (bead receiver) is what holds the liner in place, and you should be able to see the track if you look up under the top rail on the inside of the pool.
Pool Liners cannot be removed from the original packaging, if so it cannot be returned or exchanged.All Closeout Pool Liner sales are final.

Now, she's working on a brand new podcast. Seattle economy firing on all cylinders – except these two By Carolyn Adolph • Jul 5, 2016 WA Employment Security Department: Anneliese Vance-Sherman The last recession is long gone, but jobs still haven't recovered in two major sectors. Both are tied to that last big bust: construction and financial services. The financial services sector isn't back because lending is a much tighter business than it was during the run-up to the economic collapse in 2008. Listen Listening... / 1:25 Despite Job Gains, Washington Jobless Rate Not Budging By Tom Banse • May 18, 2016 Listen Listening... / The statewide unemployment rate in Washington is not budging despite steady hiring by employers. It's stuck at 5.8 percent in the latest monthly jobs report released Wednesday by the Washington Employment Security Department. Seattle Youth Jobs Effort Puts Nearly 2,000 To Work By Ann Dornfeld • Jul 15, 2015 Ann Dornfeld / KUOW Nearly 2,000 Seattle young people have jobs this summer as part of the city's Youth Employment Initiative, Mayor Ed Murray said Wednesday. Murray said the program has more than doubled in size from last year -- but still there were nearly twice as many applications as there were internships. The goal is to expand the program into the school year to meet the demand. Blind Auditions Could Give Employers A Better Hiring Sense By editor • May 28, 2015 Entrepreneur Petar Vujosevic was just a regular guy who saw a big problem with the way the hiring system works. Typically, a hiring manager posts an opening, describes the ideal candidate and resumes come flooding in. After doing some interviews, the manager has to make a gut decision: Who is the best person for the job? Research shows that more often than not, managers pick someone whose background is similar to theirs.

Onslow-Ford was born in Wendover. He served as a naval officer for several years before moving to Paris, where he was taught by the Modernist painter, Fernard Léger.
While in Paris he came under the influence of the Surrealist artists, and the ideas of the French writer, André Breton. Breton's philosophy of automatism can be seen in this painting, which investigates the relationship between the conscious state and dreams. Onslow-Ford described Determination of Gender as 'bringing the dream world and the waking state closer together'.
