Senate Passes Workplace Gay Rights Bill with Bipartisan Support
ABC Digital
Political News
Updated at
(WASHINGTON) — With the backing of ten Republican senators, the Senate passed a bill Thursday, which bans discrimination in the workplace based on sexual orientation and gender identity.
The Senate voted 64 to 32 in favor of the Employment Non-Discrimination Act, also known as ENDA, the first major piece of legislation addressing gay rights since Congress passed "Don't Ask Don't Tell" in 2010.
"Let the bells of freedom ring," Sen. Jeff Merkley, D-Ore., who was a co-sponsor of the bill, said in a news conference Thursday.
The gay rights bill drew bipartisan support in the Senate with all Senate Democrats and ten Republican senators supporting ENDA. The Republicans included Sens. Kelly Ayotte, R-N.H., Susan Collins, R-Maine, Jeff Flake, R-Ariz., Orrin Hatch, R-Utah, Dean Heller, R-Nev., Mark Kirk, R-Ill., John McCain, R-Ariz., Lisa Murkowski, R-Alaska, Rob Portman, R-Ohio, and Pat Toomey, R-Penn. Sen. Bob Casey, D-Pa., missed the vote but would have voted in favor of it.
The bill now heads to the House of Representatives where its prospects are grim. House Speaker John Boehner opposes the legislation and has said he will not bring it up for a vote.
"The Speaker believes this legislation will increase frivolous litigation and cost American jobs, especially small business jobs," Michael Steel, a spokesman for Boehner, said earlier this week.
Senate Democrats urged Boehner to take it to the floor and argued that a decision not to vote on the bill would have major implications on the Republican Party.
"Speaker Boehner, please, please do what is right for the American people. Let's do this legislation," Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, said. "It is fair. This legislation is only about fairness. More than 80 percent of the American people already believe it's the law. So let's do it."
"The House of Representatives does insist on going…down this road, they'll be sending their party straight to oblivion," Sen. Chuck Schumer, D-N.Y., said. "They've sat on a farm bill; they've sat on an immigration bill; they've sat on issue after issue. So the House seems to be the place where bipartisan Senate legislation goes to die."
The vote comes less than five months after the Supreme Court bolstered same-sex marriage by declaring the Defense of Marriage Act unconstitutional and striking down the Proposition 8 ballot initiative, which defined marriage between one man and one woman. In 1996, the Senate failed to pass ENDA by one vote and the House of Representatives rejected it as well.
Sen. Tammy Baldwin, D-Wis., the first homosexual person elected to the U.S. Senate, called the vote a "tremendous milestone" for the LGBT community.
"For folks like myself in the LGBT community, the opportunity to be judged in the workplace by your skills and qualifications, your loyalty, your work ethic is an important pronouncement for this nation," Baldwin said. "When we say something is wrong and it shouldn't be done, that sends a powerful message to prevent discrimination in the first place."
"This is a really tremendous milestone, a day I will never forget in my service in the Senate," she added.

Provincializing Europe:
First published in 2000, Dipesh Chakrabarty's influential Provincializing Europe addresses the mythical figure of Europe that is often taken to be the original site of modernity in many histories of capitalist transition in non-Western countries. This imaginary Europe, Dipesh Chakrabarty argues, is built into the social sciences. The very idea of historicizing carries with it some peculiarly European assumptions about disenchanted space, secular time, and sovereignty. Measured against such mythical standards, capitalist transition in the third world has often seemed either incomplete or lacking. Provincializing Europe proposes that every case of transition to capitalism is a case of translation as well--a translation of existing worlds and their thought--categories into the categories and self-understandings of capitalist modernity. Now featuring a new preface in which Chakrabarty responds to his critics, this book globalizes European thought by exploring how it may be renewed both for and from the margins.
"Chakrabarty's work gives us a richer, more penetrating language to deal with modernity and the colonial encounter. . . . It is the ambiguity of Chakabarty's own position as both a critic and archivist of modernity that gives his study its poetic undertow and its intelligent irresponsibility."--Amit Chaudhuri, London Review of Books
"The great value of this book lies in Chakrabarty's exceptional ability to bring to light what constantly gets glossed over and forgotten when we can only speak the standard languages of the academy. To do this requires the kind of bilingual consciousness which can bring into illuminating relation Adam Smith and Tagore. Chakrabarty makes you regret that so few are capable of doing this with a high degree of eloquence and insight."--Charles Taylor, IWM Newsletter
"This masterful re-examination of rationality, universality, and difference in the postcolonial world should prove inspiring for serious historians of all lands."--Alice Ballard, Theory and Society
"A slow, detailed, careful reading of the author's positively provocative style will be rich in rewards, generating, in the reader's mind, new ideas with new questions pointing to interdisciplinary, inter-cultural research, dialogue. As a reference reading text, it is rich in direct and implied questions on intricate inter-cultural interactions, gaps in communication, etc. As a discourse on basic themes of socio-political modernism and cultural diversity, it is more a starting point than a store of conclusions on debate dealing with cardinal themes pointing to research in inter-cultural and intersocietal studies. His dialectic, constructive discourse is keen on generating lasting questions and not dogmatic, ephemeral answers."--Wahé H. Balekjian, Online Journal on International Constitutional Law
"[T]he analysis of the processes and mechanisms of destruction are well worth reading."--Joyce Apsel, Human Rights Review

I have tried to fix my belly button three times already. First time dermal fat, second time fat transfer. These two attempts helped on making the area less indented. The third time was thermage and that didn't helped to tighten the skin. I believe the area that needs to be fixed right above the belly button is small enough that an unbilicoplasty would be an option. What do you think?

Umbilicoplasty options
I agree with the others that your umbilicus does not look too abnormal. There is a small excess hood of skin superiorly that could be trimmed if you are willing to accept a small scar that should hide nicely.

Umbilicoplasty for Improving Belly Button Shape
An umbilicoplasty that removes the overhanging hood of skin on top would help improve the shape of your belly button. This is a procedure that could be done under local anesthesia.

Hello lidia879,
I do not think your umbilicus looks that unusual, if you are set on trying to fix it then surgery can improve it.
All the best

Dear Lidia,
Thank you for your question and photos. While your belly button doesn't look that bad, certainly an umbilicoplasty will help define it. This is an example of an umbilicoplasty.

Discussion in 'Optics & Mounts' started by bob7176, Mar 10, 2009.
okay. whats the best way to scope and mount a 98 k mauser, within reason..
For hunting ? I feel the Leopold VXIII 4.5 - 14 X 40mm LR part # 55265. Cost about $527.00, comes with their "Boone & Crocket" Ballistic Aiming System. It has reticle holds for 200, 300, 400, 450, 500 yard distances and can be set up for longer distance ranges, and a side parallax adjustment. Pretty cool and quick to adjust for yardage. Check out the Leupold web site under resources and click on their Ballistic Aiming Syatem training video. You'll see what I mean. I just bought one for a hunt I'm going on later this year for Elk. Also lends itself well for target shooting to about 600 yards and shorter distances down to 200 yards. It's just a thought.
Is this rifle a stock military arm or is it a sportized version?
If it is sporterized then the mounts could be from anything.
I really like the leupold one piece base, rock solid and proven. You need to have gunsmith drill and tap for it, so if your worried about collector value I wouldn't. but if your Mauser has been "Bubba-ized" go for it.
For scopes I love leupolds vx-III's.
If your looking for a reliable something cheaper, Ive had good luck with Swift's.
Size & magnification would depend on your application.

Jim Kelly to participate in Hall of Fame game coin toss
Jim Kelly, the former Bills quarterback who is recovering from cancer treatments, will be on the field for the coin toss of the Aug. 3 Hall of Fame game between Buffalo and the New York Giants, the Hall announced on Thursday.
Kelly, who was inducted to the Hall of Fame in 2002, completed radiation and chemotherapy in May for sinus cancer, which then spread to his jaw.
"I have always said that God willing, I will be back in Canton every summer," Kelly said. "This year especially, I am so thankful that I can be on hand to share in a great weekend that shines the spotlight on the Buffalo Bills. There isn't a person more deserving of joining the Hall of Fame than my teammate and friend Andre Reed."
"It is also a great honor for me to represent the Bills organization at the coin toss to kick off the season," Kelly continued. "The entire experience will bring back many great memories from 2002 when so many of the Bills family — fans, players, and staff — joined me in Canton for one of the most memorable times of my life."

Michael Sam has signed a deal to play with the Montreal Alouettes this season, the team announced today (Friday, May 22). His first game with the Canadian Football League team will be on June 25 against the Ottawa Redblacks.
The NFL's first out gay football player had it rough until now. He was considered a top NFL prospect in his final year at the University of Missouri at Columbia but was only recruited by the St. Louis Rams in the final round. Many commentators and observers, including local sports anchor Dave Hansen, suggested homophobia played a role during the process and when he was later released by Rams.
Sam then briefly had a role on the Dallas Cowboys practice squad.
"With the signing of Michael Sam, we have become a better organization today," said Alouettes' general manager, Jim Popp. "Not only have we added an outstanding football player, we have added even a better person that brings dignity, character and heart to our team."
Sam said in a statement he was excited to join the team:
"I am very excited and proud to join the Montreal Alouettes and want to thank team Owner Robert Wetenhall, General Manager Jim Popp and Head Coach Tom Higgins for this opportunity. I cannot wait to put on the pads, get back on the field and work hard each and every day with my teammates to bring a Grey Cup to the great fans here in Montreal."
Canadian football is just like U.S. football except there are 12 players on a Canadian football team, according to David Taffet, the Voice's football expert. But additionally:
1. The 12th player plays a backfield position.
2. And the field is 110 yards long and 10 yards wider than a U.S. field. Each team only gets three downs to gain 10 yards.
3. Then there are rule differences — mostly rules adopted by the NFL during the past 50 or more years and never changed by the CFL.
4. The CFL has nine teams and the regular season begins in June. The playoffs, called the Grey Cup, are in mid-November.
5. The Montreal Alouettes won the Grey Cup in 2009 and 2010. Last year, the Calgary Stampeders took the cup and in 2013 it was the Saskatchewan Roughriders.
His jersey, number 94, is already for sale on the Aoulettes website.

I received Lipo back in Feb on my waist and stomach (pretty much my trunk area all the way around). I did tons of research, went to a highly trained surgeon and ended up in the small percentage of patients who get an infection. Apparently, I got a hematoma after the surgery and it got infected. The hematoma was on my right side. I had terrible fevers & chills and was very ill for 4 weeks, all the while dealing with the pain and bruising from the procedure itself. I had to go on 3 different antibiotics for three weeks. It was really hard and scary. The pain from the surgery is very significant. It has been 7 months now since my surgery. I am not sure how I feel about my results. I honestly feel as though the weight has returned to my waist. What?! Yes, I have read the weight can return to the layer of fat closest to the skin (which the surgeons do not touch). So, obviously that is a huge disappointment. Isn't that why everyone gets lipo, to have the fat go somewhere else? Furthermore, I have a irregular bump where the hematoma was, which I am now very self-conscience of. I don't know if it's worth it or not.
Got Cellulitis from Surgery, That Sucked. Expect a Slight Improvement, Not Perfection. - Denver, CO
When deciding, try to look at patient's profiles who are 6 months post-op
I've noticed when reading the reviews on this site, that people are mostly reporting how the results are after a couple days to maybe 12 weeks. But, if you want a more long term, realistic viewpoint, try and find people who can show you what they look like 6 months or more out. I didn't post anything until now (7 months post-op), because I wanted to give an accurate portrayal of how it really worked. As you can see from my pics, the weight can come back to the area where it was removed.
forgot this side view photo
I had originally forgot to post this side view. I think it does show a significant difference. I'm still trying to decide whether or not I should have my surgeon fix the bumps. He said he would do it for no charge, but it is a very difficult decision. I really don't want to go thru the pain again or risk another infection. Even more annoying is wearing the garment for 12 weeks! People need to know that the garment is really irritating. It is uncomfortable and greatly reduces the variety of clothes you can wear (unless you don't care if people notice it). However, it is crucial to your results that you wear it religiously for 12 weeks.

WATSONVILLE -- The California Supreme Court has declined to hear an appeal seeking to overturn a lower court ruling upholding Pajaro Valley Water Management Agency fees.
The high court's rejection ensures the agency's financial stability through 2015, and frees it of pending litigation for the first time in more than a decade.
"I'm ecstatic," said General Manager Mary Bannister, after being notified of the decision Tuesday. "Now we can get onto the more looming disaster of this drought."
Plaintiffs had asked the court to review an October decision by the state 6th District Court of Appeal in two lawsuits that challenged the entire financial structure of the agency, from an $18 to $20 management fee first imposed in 1993 to assessments on groundwater pumping and irrigation water distribution approved by property owners in 2010.
The appeals court dismissed all of the plaintiffs' objections.
Plaintiff Harold Griffith said he wasn't surprised by the high court's decision. When he filed the appeal he said he had to try, though the court only accepted a small fraction of cases. He maintains the validity of his arguments, based on flaws with the 2010 vote and a definition of water service that describes "public pipes" delivering water to one's property. The agency levies fees on pumping from private wells.
"It was a long shot," Griffith said. "But when government doesn't follow the obvious intention of the law, what are you supposed to do? You got to try to keep them honest."
The two lawsuits were the latest to challenge agency fees. In 2003 and 2004, plaintiffs were more successful, and the agency had to refund $11 million that the appeals court said had been collected illegally. Afterward, the agency spent two years developing a rate structure that could pass legal muster. That led to the successful 2010 vote on assessments and the unsuccessful lawsuits challenging them.

The Block site causes chaos
Neighbours of the four houses being used for The Block TV series in Takapuna say the huge construction effort is affecting their daily lives and impinging on their privacy.
Linda Haynes lives next door and says her biggest concern is that the council is letting the production company break "all sorts of rules" to allow the show to go ahead.
But producers of the hit renovation show say "we're doing everything by the book" as filming gets under way on the site at the corner of Eversleigh and Lake roads.
Devonport Takapuna Local Board chairman Chris Darby held a meeting with representatives from Auckland Council's traffic management, resource consent and building consent teams to ensure everything is in order.
"Just because it's a high-rating national TV show does not give it the right to ride rough-shod over local people," Mr Darby says.
"They're working in the middle of a neighbourhood where people actually live and the management of everything has become too complex, it's out of control."
One of Mr Darby's main concerns is that a traffic management application hasn't yet been lodged for the open home days which are said to be happening in October.
Last year the open homes attracted more than 5000 people and required a main road in Takapuna to be partially blocked.
Mr Darby says Lake Rd, where the new homes are located, is already a very busy and congested road.
An influx of 5000 people would require a very well thought out traffic plan, he says.
Residents who travel between Devonport and Takapuna and parents dropping their children at the nearby Takapuna Grammar School have already noticed escalating traffic problems with contractors parking on the area's side streets.
The Block executive producer Greg Heathcote says they're doing everything by the book and have applied for all the relevant applications, permissions and consents.
"Production have been vigilant in ensuring that immediate neighbours are aware of any disruptions that the building and construction may create," he says.
He says most of the neighbours are supportive of the project and understand that disruptions are inevitable on any building site.
This year two houses were brought on to the site and extensive groundwork has been undertaken including creating an underground double garage for one of the houses. Neighbours say the couples have been working in the houses since earlier this month.
Mediaworks has yet to say when the new season will go to air.

The 2006 election looks like it will be all about Iraq. The unpopular war threatens the Republicans' majorities in Congress, so this month Republicans decided to go on the offensive.
First, they accused Democrats of having no alternative plan. "The Democrats haven't got any positive ideas, none of their own," said House Speaker Dennis Hastert of Illinois. Then, when Democrats started to talk about setting a timetable for withdrawing troops, Republicans pounced, accusing them of being gutless and defeatist. "If we break our promise and cut and run, as some would have us do, the implications could be catastrophic," Senate Majority Leader Bill Frist of Tennessee declared.
Democrats need to go to the voters with some kind of position on the war. But what?
Democrats are facing intense pressure from two directions—from Republicans and from their own Left. The Democrats' anti-war base is energized and angry. Some members of it booed Sen. Hillary Rodham Clinton, D-N.Y., last month when she declared at a liberal gathering, "Nor do I think it is smart strategy to set a date certain [for withdrawal]. I do not agree that it is in the best interest of our troops or our country."
When the issue came to the Senate floor last week, anti-war activists favored the amendment introduced by Sen. John Kerry, D-Mass., that would set a date certain—July 1, 2007—for U.S. withdrawal. Kerry said on the Senate floor, "There's no other reason to be in Iraq a year from now other than standing up the Iraqi forces or chasing Al Qaeda or protecting our facilities." His co-sponsor, Sen. Russell Feingold, D-Wis., responded to Republican warnings that such a pullout would leave Iraq in chaos: "What is happening now is the horrible situation, not the imagined problems that the other side continually suggests will occur if we have a reasonable program to bring this to a conclusion within the coming year."
In the end, only 12 of 43 Democratic senators present voted for the Kerry amendment. What about those mentioned as possible 2008 White House candidates? Evan Bayh of Indiana, Joseph Biden of Delaware, Clinton, Christopher Dodd of Connecticut, and Barack Obama of Illinois all voted no. Only Kerry and Feingold voted yes.
But every one of the potential 2008 Democrats voted for another amendment, sponsored by Sen. Carl Levin, D-Mich., that set no deadline for the completion of troop withdrawal. Instead, it proposed a date for troop withdrawal to begin. "It says, by the end of this year, in the next six months, begin the phased redeployment of American forces from Iraq," Levin said. Thirty-eight Senate Democrats—an overwhelming majority—voted for the Levin amendment.
Five Democratic senators voted with the Republicans—against both amendments. One of them was Sen. Joe Lieberman of Connecticut, who is facing a furious anti-war primary challenge. Lieberman explained his opposition to any timetable: "I fear that it would send another message to our terrorist enemies and to the sectarian militias in Iraq that America is not prepared to see this fight through until the Iraqis themselves can take over." Lieberman is the only blue-state Democrat running for re-election this year who voted no on both amendments.
Most Senate Democrats rejected the left and the right in favor of the middle. One of them was Kent Conrad, who is running for re-election in very red North Dakota. "I do not believe that it is a wise policy to set a specific date for a withdrawal from Iraq," he said during the debate. "I do believe it makes sense to begin to redeploy our forces sometime this year."
Under pressure from both sides, Senate Democrats were expected to end up divided and defensive. Instead, they carved out a strong consensus in the middle. "We may disagree or agree, but we've got a plan," Biden said. "Republicans are totally united in a failed policy."
In the end, both amendments lost. But the Democrats did accomplish something. They found their voice and a position they can take to the voters this fall.

SAN FRANCISCO -- There is no anticipation, no expectation, and no dream of a grand October return for Melky Cabrera.
Not in the Giants' clubhouse, at least; and as the Giants shift their focus to another potential World Series drive, that's where it matters most.
Inside those walls, Cabrera is old news. He isn't controversial or a large part of any conversation.
He's just gone, and he's not coming back. Oh, and the Giants probably are better for it.
Yes, I know, the details of Cabrera's 50-game suspension for performance-enhancing drugs -- which started Aug. 15 -- might suggest otherwise.
Cabrera is eligible to return to the Giants' active roster for their sixth postseason game; that would come early in the NLCS.
But there are practical and powerful reasons that will keep Cabrera out of a Giants uniform in October and probably well beyond that.
He might get an official "reinstatement" per the rules, but there is no way Cabrera should or will be active for the postseason.
When he's eligible, the Giants can pretend to ponder whether to activate him, then shake their heads and announce they have 25 more qualified players.
Because they do. And I think eventually Cabrera might understand this, too.
Days ago, Cabrera agreed to disqualify himself from the N.L. batting race, which was a solid enough PR move given his current pariah status in the game.
I can imagine Cabrera's camp picking up the mood of the clubhouse in a week or two and issuing public word that he isn't in game shape and will not seek to play in the postseason.
That's logical. That's the way out for both sides.
If you've spent any amount of time around the Giants lately, you know it's a very different team than it was on Aug. 15.
Or, maybe more accurately, you can say the Giants changed in a powerful way on Aug. 15.
He left, the Giants coalesced, and they got better.
The Giants lost to Washington on the day that Cabrera was suspended, dropping their record to 64-54, one game behind the Dodgers.
Since then, the Giants have gone 24-9 (through the start of Saturday's game) and left the Dodgers in the dust.
More than anything, this is a team that is built on endurance and laser focus; the player who personifies that is Buster Posey.
This week, the Giants players and staff validated Posey's pre-eminent status in the clubhouse by voting him the Willie Mac Award winner.
Maybe that status was unofficially cemented on Aug. 15, when Posey tersely addressed Cabrera's actions.
When I asked Posey about it again a few days ago, he repeated the words and the attitude about Cabrera's use of PEDs.
"I can't really speak for anybody else," Posey said Wednesday. "I can only stand by what I said. I still think it wasn't a good decision."
Does Posey think Cabrera will be a Giant again?
"I have no idea," Posey said, making it clear this is an issue that the team has moved beyond.
So why are the Giants cool to Cabrera and yet were eager to reinstate reliever Guillermo Mota this season after his second PED suspension?
Because they're not at all the same situations, not even close.
I don't agree with the decision to reinstate Mota from his 100-game PED suspension, but he's a trusted, well-known and well-liked member of this franchise -- especially by the manager.
Mota's suspension also came early enough in the season to give him enough time to work his way back into game shape in the minor leagues.
It's too late for Cabrera to get himself into baseball shape with minor league games -- those schedules are done.
He won't have played for two months. Who knows if he'll have any strength or stamina without extra testosterone?
Also, Cabrera is a Giants newcomer who, even when he was their most productive offensive player and All-Star MVP, was considered a loner in the clubhouse. He didn't make any stronger ties by exiting the clubhouse and AT&T Park on the day of his suspension without a word to his teammates.
He was just gone. That was his unofficial status on Aug. 15, and that's how it has remained -- the Giants got into the playoffs without him and there is no reason to change that reality now.

LAKELAND — McKeel had just put four runs on the board in the third inning and seemed to have Tampa Catholic on its heels in Tuesday's Class 3A region quarterfinal.
But once the Crusaders' bats started cranking, there was nothing McKeel could do to turn the tide.
Tampa Catholic got 11 of its 15 hits in the final four innings, using them for 12 of its runs and a 14-7 victory over the Wildcats.
Cameron Alford was 3-for-5 with seven RBIs, including a three-run home run in the seventh. Nick Alfonso was 2-for-2 with four RBIs, and Gio Marrero was 3-for-5 with two RBIs for Tampa Catholic (13-13).
Meanwhile, McKeel's season ends at 18-8.
Brandon Snapp was 3-for-3 for McKeel. Jordan Rivera was 2-for-3 with an RBI, and Brandon Weeks had two RBIs for McKeel.

UND WOMEN'S BASKETBALL: Tradition important part of the UND program
And there are several of those players on the NCAA tournament-bound UND team.
Senior UND standout Madi Buck, who was named the 2014 Big Sky Player of the Year, graduated from Bismarck Century. Buck led all UND scorers in Saturday's Big Sky Conference championship game win over Montana, finishing with 14 points to go with four rebounds and three assists.
Despite the distance between Bismarck and Grand Forks, Buck knew what type of program she was going to be playing for when she committed.
"I think the biggest thing that drew me here was the tradition and the passion that the Grand Forks community has for this program," said Buck. "I was fortunate enough that they were interested in me. … I'm just really happy and blessed to be here."
After Saturday's 72-55 win over Montana, UND is headed to the NCAA Division I tournament in only the second year of playing in the Big Sky. While this will be the first trip to the NCAA Division I tournament, UND is no stranger to post-season success, both at the DI and DII levels.
The 2009-10 season saw the program take home its first championship in the DI era, when UND won the Great West Conference regular-season championship. Two seasons later, North Dakota won the Great West postseason tournament.
UND was a consistent national contender in Division II, winning titles in 1997, 1998 and 1999. North Dakota was runner-up in 2001.
Reserve center Emily Evers grew up following the program, so the Grand Forks Red River High School product knows about the strong tradition.
"I've been a huge UND fan for my entire life," said Evers. "When they got those three titles in the late '90s it was an unreal experience and the fans were unreal. I remember being at the games and it was just crazy. … Tonight it felt like that again."
Evers' basket with a little more than 10 minutes to play gave UND its biggest lead up to that point at 56-37.
For the junior, who had eight points and 10 rebounds in only 21 minutes off the bench, the decision to play at UND wasn't a difficult one when she was recruited by former coach Gene Roebuck.
"I went to UND camps since as young as I could have got there; I went to every single one,'' Evers said. "When coach Roebuck came up to me and said, 'You look like a good player. Keep working hard and we might offer you a scholarship one day,' I took that to heart. That's been my dream since I was 2 years old, to play here. It's an unreal experience and I wouldn't change it for anything."
Along with Evers and Buck, there are three other North Dakota natives on the roster — Siri Burck (Fargo), Ellie Ripplinger (Grand Forks), and Katie Houdek (Grafton).
When Montana made its run late in Saturday's game, it was Burck who put an end to it.
Following a Lady Griz three-pointer that cut UND's lead to 10 with a little more than three minutes to play, Burck hit a 3-pointer then followed it with a lay-up on the next possession to extend UND's lead to 68-53.
"Grand Forks has such a great college-town community," said Burck, a Fargo South graduate. "All of the fans here, that's what has been behind us all season. Being from North Dakota just makes it that much more special. … We grew up with it and we love it.
"When I got contacted by coach Brewster and Roebuck it was a dream come true and I wouldn't trade it for the world."

Silver Predator Reports Multiple Intercepts including 4.6 m of 767.7 g/t and

Silver Predator Reports Multiple Intercepts including 4.6 m of 767.7 g/t and 45.7 m of 108.7 g/t Silver from Surface at Taylor, Nevada
Vancouver, British Columbia, June 19, 2012: Silver Predator Corp. (TSX:SPD) is pleased to announce results from the first 14 of 25 angled reverse circulation drill holes from its 2012 exploration program at the Taylor Silver Mine development project, located in White Pine County, Nevada. A total of 1,959 m (6,425 ft) were drilled to both infill and expand the existing open pit resource, and test extensions of higher grade veins typical of the historic underground production at Taylor. Significant mineralization was encountered in 12 of the 14 holes. Highlights of the current release include:
Project Geology, Existing Resource and Mill Complex
The Taylor silver deposit is an epithermal, low to high silica, largely oxidized, low-sulfide replacement deposit hosted by folded and faulted Devonian carbonate rocks of the Pilot Shale, Guilmette, and Joana Formations intruded by Tertiary rhyolite dikes and sills.
The Taylor Silver Mine hosts a NI 43-101 compliant resource consisting of 1,123,000 tonnes grading 85.71 g/t silver as a measured mineral resource and 4,713,000 tonnes at 77.83 g/t silver classified as indicated, for a combined total of 14.9 million ounces of silver. In addition, the resource includes another 1.9 million ounces in the inferred category based on 687,000 tonnes grading 87.1 g/t silver. This resource estimate uses a 41.1 g/t silver cutoff grade (Hester, 2010). The Company's Taylor Project includes rights to a 1,320 ton per day mill with flotation and cyanide leach plants, water rights and approximately 3,900 acres of mining claims located near Ely, Nevada.
Subsequent to the 2010 resource calculation, a total of 88 additional holes have been drilled. These drill results are being combined with surface and subsurface geologic mapping to build a new model for updating the current resource and mine plan, planned for late 2012.
Highlights of Reported Results
Hole SPT12-048 returned the most significant of the initial results from the drill program, intersecting high grade underground mineralization of 476.6 g/t silver over 7.6 m (22.4 oz/t over 15 ft). This intercept has shown that the high grade underground material historically mined further to the north in the district may extend to the south, into ground previously untested by drilling and modern exploration. Notably, this zone appears to occur below a newly mapped Argus Fault related structure at the surface. Two other holes, SPT12-047 and SPT12-049, in the south Taylor Shaft area identified lower grade intervals that show the presence of significant silver mineralization within the Argus Fault Zone to the south. Further work is planned to test additional targets in this area as the structural and stratigraphic (fault and rock type) controls to mineralization are being determined via the current mapping program. Other important results include jasperoid hosted mineralization remaining in the central Bishop Pit as demonstrated by SPT12-40, where 45.7 m of 108.7 g/t (150 ft of 3.17 oz/t) silver was intersected from surface.
Summary of 2012 Drill Program Targets
Holes SPT12-036 and SPT12-037 were designed to test for silver mineralization associated with near vertical dikes (igneous intrusives) south of the Monitor Pit.
Holes SPT12-038 and SPT12-039 were drilled though mine waste rock piles to confirm that no significant near surface mineralization exists in that immediate area. This condemnation drilling was successful.
Holes SPT12-040 through SPT12-046 were designed to both confirm and extend the existing resource in and around the Bishop Pit. The drilling helped to extend the southwestern edge of the Bishop resource (SPT12-043) and confirmed the thick section of jasperoid hosted mineralization remaining in the central Bishop Pit.
Holes SPT12-047 through SPT12-054 were designed to test for extensions south of the historic Taylor Shaft area. The first three holes reported here intersected intervals of silver mineralization that confirmed the presence of the Argus Fault Zone including the high grade intercept from Hole SPT12-048. Five additional holes from this area have yet to be reported as well as holes SPT12-055 through SPT 12-060.
Next Phase of Drilling and Geologic Work
The second phase of drilling is planned to build on results from the current mapping and drilling program, with the goal of adding newly discovered mineralization both within and on the periphery of the existing resource, which was calculated based on drill data generated in 2007 and earlier.
Silver Predator is conducting an ongoing detailed surface mapping program at Taylor. Initial mapping over the past 4 weeks has focused on the historic open pits and other exposures around the much older underground workings, as the controls to known mineralization are being delineated. This surface work, when combined with the underground geology compiled from the extensive drill hole database, is expected to create a powerful new exploration tool for finding additional precious metal mineralization in the district.
Drilling and Sampling Methodology, Quality Control and Quality Assurance
All drilling to date in the 2012 Taylor drill program has been conducted by a reverse circulation drill rig, where 1.52m (5 foot) samples are obtained. Sample quality for the project is generally high as all drilling is above the water table and the hole is blown clean after every 20 foot rod change.
ALS Chemex of Elko, Nevada and Vancouver, Canada performed all primary lab analyses. Samples received in the lab were first logged-in and assigned a barcode. The samples were then rotary split prior to crushing to retain a coarse sample for metallurgical work. The remainder was fine crushed to 70% less than 2 mm then split with a riffle splitter with one split pulverized to 85% at less than 75 microns to create the final pulp for assay. All samples were initially analyzed by aqua regia digestion and AAS. Samples exceeding 10 ppm silver were run for silver by four acid digestion using a 2 gram nominal sample (pulp) weight with AA finish. Higher grade results above 750 ppm utilize a 0.5 gram pulp and are periodically checked with a fire assay analysis on a 30 gram pulp. Assay results for silver are reported by the lab in ppm units and all reported results are from the four acid analyses. For public disclosure, ounce per imperial ton (oz/t) and gram per metric tonne (g/t) is used, where 34.2857 ppm is equivalent to 1 oz/t and 1 ppm is equivalent to 1 g/t.
Samples were analyzed by ALS Chemex in Reno and Elko, Nevada. All assays are reported as drilled intervals and are not to be interpreted as true widths. Refer to the Company's news release dated July 5, 2011 for a complete discussion of sampling methods, quality control and assurance.

'Gay' Labour has lost its way, says Field
Already under pressure from internal ructions, the Labour Party leadership has been given a mauling by disgraced former MP Taito Phillip Field.
Just over a year after his release from prison, Field, who compared himself with South African freedom fighter Nelson Mandela, weighed in on Labour's recent struggles, saying the party has lost its way and been "contaminated" by liberal policy.
The former Helen Clark government, in which he was a minister, had infested the party with homosexuality, Field said.
"There is a perception that they are controlled by homosexuals. It's like a smell that won't go away."
He said the former government's focus on issues like prostitution, civil unions and anti-smacking distracted from the important issues and was the "death nail in the coffin of the Labour Party".
"You are going to have a generation of children grow up who think it is OK to have two mums and two dads. This is a contradiction of the word of God.
Field said Labour has betrayed the Christian working class.
"I don't know how long it will take for them to recover, if they can. I can't see them getting back in 2014, or the election after."
Although controversial and bluntly stated, his views are shared by a large swathe of Auckland's Pacific Island community who still held Field in high regard and were a key part of Labour's support base, said South Auckland social worker and former friend James Papli'i.
"He would be representing the wider Pacific community but they wouldn't be coming out as strongly," he said. "He has been incarcerated for a long time and had a long time for thinking. Maybe he feels the time for being diplomatic is not now."
The former Mangere MP was jailed for six years in October 2009 after he was found guilty of 11 charges of bribery and corruption and 15 counts of attempting to pervert the course of justice. The decision was upheld by the Court of Appeal and the Supreme Court.
Field insists he is innocent and the charges and conviction were the result of corruption because he stood up to the government.
"It's not uncommon for people to end up in my situation for standing up for what they believe in," he said.
"Nobody wants to go to prison, but Mandela was imprisoned for 26 years. Who I am to complain?"
He maintains that the undervalued work done on his property by Thai tradesmen, who he helped with immigration to New Zealand, was a mere discount between friends, not an act of bribery.
"They were friends, they were like extended family. I paid what they told me to pay, what's the crime?"
Field cited John Banks' mayoral campaign donation by Kim Dotcom, and Helen Clark signing a painting she didn't paint for charity, as "prima facie" examples of corruption and fraud.
"Kim Dotcom is a millionaire so he is beginning to expose the corruption."
In prison Field said he had respect from both inmates and staff, many who sought his advice and knowledge. "They came to me and I helped them with parole, immigration law, reunification with families - because I helped write that immigration law."
Since his release, Field and his family are "surviving OK" and he is working on property development projects in New Zealand and Samoa.
He owns a number of properties in South Auckland, according to the Companies Office.
"But because I'm innocent and had to defend myself, we are struggling. It has already cost me over $1 million to defend myself."
Field said he still has the full support of the Pacific Island community. He believes Auckland must embrace its Polynesian identity to generate jobs and pride in the cultures of the Pacific. And the community would take him back, according to Papli'i.
"He is a leader and he definitely has a following. Pacific people still look up to him," he said.
"It won't be in politics, but there will always be a place for him."
Field is writing a book about his experience in Parliament and prison.

|President Koroma Prays with Muslims at Gaddafi Mosque
By State House Communications UnitFreetown – 3rd August 2012 – President Dr Ernest Bai Koroma on Friday 3rd August urged Muslims to pray for peace, unity and development during the holy month of Ramadan. He made this plea when he prayed with Muslims at the Muammar Gaddafi Mosque in the east end of Freetown. Speaking to the congregation shortly after Jumah prayers, President Koroma said certain people are bent on provoking riotous situations in the country as the nation approaches the November general elections.
"We want a peaceful election so that as a nation we shall go back and continue with the good works that we are doing without delay after the elections", he pleaded.
President Koroma noted that certain people were going round the country igniting violence while majority of the people are very much appreciative of the good work of the government for which he thanked all well-meaning Sierra Leoneans for their invaluable support.
He assured the Imams that government will not forget the mosque and its environs, and prayed that Almighty Allah richly continue to bless the people of Sierra Leone as well as answer their prayers during and after the holy month of Ramadan.
Alhaji Issa Catco in his remarks disclosed that although President Ernest Bai Koroma is a Christian, that didn't stop him to convince the former Libyan government when the construction of the mosque was halted under the past government, to continue with the construction and completion of the mosque as it is today.
He therefore called on Islamic clerics as jihadists to continue to talk about the good works of President Koroma and the All Peoples Congress, "As we are seeing the massive development that is taking place all over the country."
Among the President's entourage were several Cabinet Ministers, including the following; Social Welfare, Gender and Children's Affairs, Steven Gaoja, Political and Public Affairs, Alhaji Alpha Kanu, Education, Science and Technology, Dr. Minkialu Bah, Mines and Mineral Resources Alhaji Minkialu Mansaray and Hon. Alimamy Gibril Kargbo. Senior State House Staff and the State House Press Corps were also present.

On a very small base, the Russian e-book market saw huge growth in 2011, according to a new study (E-Book Market in Russia Doubles in 2011):
Legal sales of e-books in Russia increased almost 2.3 times in 2011, marking a third year of explosive growth, though remaining modest in absolute terms, the Federal Press and Mass Media Agency said on Thursday.
Sales of digital books stood at 135 million rubles ($4.4 million) in 2011, compared to 60 million rubles in 2010 and 11 million rubles in 2008, the first year for which statistics are available, the agency said in an annual report on the book industry in Russia.

Fourteen-year-old Irish twins Leona and Lisa Maguire have been included in the squad for Britain and Ireland's Curtis Cup match against the United States in Massachusetts next June.
Eleven of the 20 players are teenagers, but if selected the Maguires would not be the youngest ever to appear in the match.
Michelle Wie was 14 at Formby in 2004 and the sisters turn 15 in November.
The Maguires have already appeared against Continental Europe in the Vagliano Trophy and last year Leona beat Lisa in the final of the Irish championship.

Is There a Role for Product?
Recently, I have found myself in several discussions about the value of product management. On the west coast, specifically in Silicon Valley and the Pacific Northwest, there is a engineering-driven notion of product, borne from sort of a "maker" culture, which values the kind of invention that comes from tinkering in your garage. On the other hand, though my time here in New York City has been short, I have gotten an acute understanding of how differently product is defined to the businesses and industries that populate this centuries-old city. Not surprisingly, media behemoths and financial services mega-corporations have for decades conceived of their products in board rooms and b-schools, not in garages (although DUMBO lofts seem desperately trying to become the east coast version of a mid-century tract house garage.) I don't mean to disparage either as a source for great ideas. On the contrary, I simply suggest that both produce vastly different perspectives of the value, scope and purpose of a pure product management role.
Steve Johnson, in his e-book, The Strategic Role of Product Management, writes, "Companies that do not see the value of product management go through a series of expansions and layoffs. They hire and fire and hire and fire the product management group. These same companies are the ones that seem to have a similar roller-coaster ride in revenue and profit." Service industries, especially the kind of which New York has no shortage - financial and professional services, are the ones that seem to struggle the most with defining a role for product managers. Why would that be the case? The answer lies in how the service is delivered, and who owns that workflow and the resulting customer experience it creates.
Think about it...the organizational handoffs to deliver a service-only experience can produce a mosaic of interactions and customer touchpoints, based on each individual or system required to execute it. In some companies, the only team that can wrangle the responsibility to oversee how these all knit together is a Chief Operating Officer, who might use a legion of business analysts to offer performance metrics which drive business and technical priorities, budget and resource allocation and decision-making.
This would also explain the challenge product teams can have finding a home in the reporting structure in these kinds of companies. If product is to be a front-line oriented job as part of the sales and marketing organization, then positioning, pricing, promotion and packaging become the lion's share of that PM's job. Ten years ago, I used to hear people call this an "Outbound" Product Manager job. (Johnson refers to this role as a Product Marketing Manager, but in today's economy, few companies can afford those to be two separate positions, and even if they do, they may call both functions Product Manager.) Alternatively, product may be absorbed by IT systems, taking requirements orders from internal stakeholders to evolve their executional platforms, like CRM and point of sale.
For a great case study to review that highlights the impact of these different perspectives of service and technology companies on the role of product management, one need only look at Yahoo, and the inflection point it has revealed it is facing. After Terry Semel re-chartered Yahoo from being a search and communications platform company to a media company, one supportive employee posted this on his blog, "Cisco is a technology company, Yahoo! is a consumer services company — the fact that those services are delivered via IP is just a detail." But did that perspective provide the optimal vantage point for products to emerge that would allow Yahoo to compete successfully? For the first year or two, maybe, but with the downturn in the economy came a number of missed product opportunities for Yahoo, notably the failure to grow Delicious or make any deeper move into social networking after Messenger, and the stock has never recovered.
Kara Swisher writes on AllthingsD, "The way products are made got a long look-see this past week, in a day-long meeting that Thompson had with Yahoo's top team execs. Thompson reportedly quizzed the group on its plans, and pressed it to look less at short-term features and maintenance than on finding the next great thing.
'I think it's fair to say that Scott is wondering why Yahoo did not come up with innovations like Pinterest and Instagram," said one person about hot new start-ups that are in the sweet spot of Yahoo's business. "Or, at the very least, why it did not even try to buy them.'"
Steve Johnson points out that "8% of product managers report directly to the CEO, acting as his or her representative at the product level," because those leaders believe that markets, not marketing, should drive product strategy.
Just this week, Yahoo's Chief Product Officer announced via a memo revealed "We have a bias toward action in Products and expected that our new org design would be in place well before any corporate changes took place. However, it is clear now that the two efforts are starting to run in parallel, and making Product org changes prior to corporate changes no longer makes sense."
But that does beg the question, when does it make sense to not consider those efforts in parallel?
A recent re-org at Yahoo! disassembled the central product organization and Chief Product Officer, Blake Irving got his answer to the question, is there a role for product?

I've been studying the topic on the DHW for the Harman Magnun, could you give me more info on the Amtrol boiler mate. I have heard they are expensive.
Thank you, Craig
Matthaus wrote:Craig, I have two of the older Amtrol models (no built in circulator pump), cost was free (one of them needed a bit of welding to make functional). Lots of folks don't know what they are and are willing to have you come and get the thing out of the basement if no longer in use.
One thing to add to the discussion of how they work. Since the unit is connected to the boiler as a zone and also has a backup electric HW element, these can supply extra btus to the boiler if it is slightly undersized (20 to 30K) for those few extra cold nights.

4. Faster recovery using both.

A Modest Proposal
The present consumer audience of parents and students intent on enrolling in a college of their choice has become increasingly savvy about the strategic efforts on the part of admissions committees to select applicants, in no small measure, with the yield factor in mind. There is a growing awareness or perception of colleges making a game of the admissions process in a cynical fashion to make certain that they will meet their enrollment goal. Thus, the number of contacts a student makes with the admissions office, campus visits, and interviews with admissions officers or alumni are seen as key factors in the decision process.
Just as important, there's the sense that applying for financial aid will penalize an applicant, and that consumer price points are additional critical pieces of data put into the mix in determining who is more likely to enroll.
To the extent that there is any truth to this perception--and speaking frankly, many school counselors and educators also believe that there is--colleges might be working against their own desired end in the long run.
We see students playing into this strategic game in an equally cynical fashion by putting added effort into communicating multiple times with admissions offices by e-mail and snail mail, or by visiting certain campuses not once but twice to make an impact on the decision makers. They consider it above board in giving multiple colleges the impression that each is their first choice. Sad to report, many families hesitate to apply for financial aid when the need is legitimate for fear of being arbitrarily rejected in a competitive admissions pool.
As is often the case, those hurt most by these trends are those already disadvantaged in the college admissions process: students from poor backgrounds, with parents who did not attend college, attending schools with less counseling support, and/or lacking the resources and wherewithal to contact and visit colleges.
Outside Looking In
Of course, we understand the reality of enrollment and financial demands that confront every IHE today. Enrollment managers and admissions directors are assigned enrollment goals, which lead to experimenting with a variety of marketing methods and strategic decision models intended to help meet their required numbers. Each day seems to bring yet another scheme for affecting increased application inquiries, completed applications, and eventual enrollment. These efforts are obviously not foolproof and, in some instances of which we are aware, have actually produced negative results.
With the luxury of the outsiders looking in, we question the wisdom of some of these efforts and have played out in our minds a different scenario in the "what if" mode of thinking about the enrollment issues.
We wonder why some colleges that are forced into the position of spending increasing amounts of money to enroll every student through a combination of marketing consultants' fees, sophisticated predictive computer programs, intensified travel schedules by the admissions staff, and--perhaps most costly of all--discounting tuitions for a significant percentage of their enrolled students, have not considered an alternative.
It is clear to many of the institutions caught between this rock and a hard place that the results in terms of the overall quality of their student body and the impact on the institutional budget are taking their toll. Students have become more sophisticated shoppers for the best financial deal made available to them through the discounting phenomenon, a situation that does not always serve both the student and the college finally decided upon. The college places itself at risk in negatively affecting its reputation for enrolling and educating solid to outstanding academic students. It's evident that every family has a bottom line in mind--in terms of college reputations and ranking in the public domain and their willingness to pay the hefty tuitions that are required by all IHEs, irrespective of their perceived quality and reputation.
Fulfilling a Mission
Now for the "what if" idea. What if your institution considered downsizing the enrollment of each entering class to a critical balancing point where the qualifications of the enrolled students met the expectations of the faculty and administration, and at the same time the cost to accomplish this goal was lowered considerably?
We think it is possible to enhance the college's academic reputation to a point at which well-qualified students will want to enroll, and they and their families will be more willing to make the financial sacrifice. The level of discounting is likely to shrink, and financial aid can be used to attract truly qualified and deserving students based on need as well as merit.
It is a given in this scenario that the senior administrators will have to work with their trustees to build a larger endowment to take up the slack in tuition dollars lost in the downsizing. What board of trustees would not want to see its institution build a stronger reputation in the marketplace and welcome an entering class each year of well-qualified young men and women?
affecting increased application inquiries, completed
applications, and eventual enrollment.
The board and senior administrators must secure the financial means that lead to the fulfillment of the institution's mission. A detailed analysis of the present costs required to fill the class at present numbers versus the savings in the long run of the ability to attract more committed students might reveal a less costly strategy than appears to be the case at first glance. Not only would the financial aid and recruiting budgets change for the better, but also the lesser need for building new facilities or refurbishing tired, out-of-date ones could represent a substantial savings, as well.
Several independent secondary schools of note have taken this bold step under the leadership of the head of school and the board of trustees. Over time, the results have more than met the expectations on all counts. It's a challenging move to look at enrollment and the overall welfare of an educational institution through an entirely different prism, but it is one well worth considering given the potential benefits.

Harry Styles is reportedly planning a move away from One Direction as he prepares to record a solo album but Directioners don't need to worry as insiders insist it doesn't mean an end to the band.
Harry is said to be recording a series of songs on his own with the hopes of releasing a solo album. Friends of the 19-year-old claim the star has co-written some of the new tracks and has been making secret visits to Paramount recording studio in Hollywood to work on the songs.
Harry made his latest visit last week on a break from the group's sell-out world tour. "He loves messing around with some of the new songs he's been working on," a close friend tells The Sun. "He's bounced some ideas off his friend Ed Sheeran and has already laid down some vocals."
Directioners shouldn't panic though as loyal Harry will not be leaving the band anytime soon, "Harry's priority is obviously still with 1D," added the insider "But when he decides the time to go solo has arrived, he's likely to have a project raring to go."
Going solo? Harry Styles has reportedly been getting busy in the studio (WENN)
One Direction signed an iron-clad three album deal with Simon Cowell at Sony after they finished third on ITV's The X Factor in 2010 meaning Harry and the other boys are committed for at least another album.
As well as their loyalty to each other, Harry would stand to lose out on a lot of money if he did quit the band who are now said to be worth over £25 million. Reports claim their contract states all five members face financial consequences if one decides to quit before the end of the three album deal.
Whatever he's up to it looks like Harry is enjoying some solo time as the star tweeted a picture of himself in LA last week, by a hotel pool. The star revealed he had spent the early part of the week with his family in Cheshire where he celebrated the Jewish Passover before he joined the rest of the boys to continue their mammoth Take Me Home tour.
A band insider attempted to play down the solo reports yesterday, telling The Sun that Harry had in fact been in the studio working on songs for the band's third album: "The boys always split off and work on ideas for the album. They did the same last time."
Do you think Harry will go solo?

text: Teaching the teachers By John McCoy November 2, 2013 Story Share John McCoy As part of their training in the Archery in the Schools curriculum, teachers get a couple of sessions of hands-on experience with the bows and arrows their students will be using. Division of Natural Resources officials hold the training sessions at least four times a year, but are having trouble keeping pace with the demand. CHARLESTON, W.Va. -- The whistle blast echoed off the gymnasium's walls."OK, squad number one! Get your equipment and go to the line! Bows on toes, and wait for my signal!"Half a dozen teachers walked forward, lifted brightly colored bows off a rack, took their places next to tubes filled with arrows, rested the lower limbs of their bows on the toes of their shoes, and stood waiting.A second whistle spurred the teachers to action. As one, they reached down, pulled arrows from the tubes beside each of them, set the arrows on their bows' strings, drew and fired.Ordinarily in West Virginia's Archery in the Schools program, the teachers blow the whistle and the schools' physical education students obey the commands. But in a recent training session at George Washington High School, teachers became the students.Several times each year, instructors from the state Division of Natural Resources train new groups of teachers in the basics of archery instruction. Teachers who pass the two-day, 12-hour courses become certified by the National Archery in the Schools organization, and thus become qualified to teach archery to students involved in their schools' AIS programs.Krista Snodgrass, who administers the program, said it has become so popular the DNR is having trouble scheduling enough training sessions to meet the demand."We're at about 300 schools involved in the program in grades K through 12," she said. "To give you an idea how much it has grown, we started in 2004 with just 18 schools." The program teaches archery to students as part of participating schools' physical education classes. Many schools take the program a step further and establish archery clubs, or even sponsor competitive teams."We get calls all the time from phys-ed teachers and principals who want to get programs started in their schools," Snodgrass said. "We try to hold at least four training sessions a year, but to really meet the demand we'd have to hold a couple a month."Schools with fledgling AIS programs aren't the only ones sending teachers to be certified. Snodgrass said demand is also high from schools with established programs."As teachers retire or move to different schools, they have to be replaced, so we train the replacements," she explained. The class at George Washington attracted 20 teachers from 18 different schools. Fayette County's Meadow Bridge High School sent two. They were phys-ed teacher Steve Hambrick and math teacher Ben Bone."This is the first year our school has had the program," Hambrick said. "The elementary school has had the program for quite a while, and now that the kids from the elementary school are getting into middle and high school, they're asking to have programs there as well."Bone said the school's bows, arrows, targets, safety net and other equipment has already been purchased. "As soon as Steve and I are certified, we can start teaching," he added. Brenda Albright, the phys-ed and special-ed teacher at Randolph County's Pickens School, said the AIS program represents the tiny K-through-12 school's only opportunity to participate in interscholastic sports."We just don't have enough kids for basketball or any other sport," she said. "Our archery squad is our only team of any kind. We've had it for three years now, and we've had kids qualify for the state and national tournaments."Teachers aren't the only ones interested in becoming certified. Archery-shop owners, eager to support local schools' teams, are sending people to be trained. So are archery and bow-hunting clubs."They're getting certified so they can open their shops' or clubs' ranges after hours so the schools' kids can practice," Snodgrass explained. "They want to have the training so they can be consistent with what the phys-ed teachers are teaching."The demand for certified instructors has become so great DNR officials are now going into colleges to certify phys-ed majors before they graduate."We've done workshops at Concord and Wheeling Jesuit [universities]. And we had a kid in [the George Washington training class] from West Virginia State," Snodgrass said. As the AIS program continues to expand to new schools, DNR officials might find themselves forced to expand their training staff."Right now there are just three of us, and each of us has other job responsibilities in addition to Archery in the Schools," Snodgrass said. "We're getting close to having demand outstrip our ability to do courses. We did six of them last year, and we wish we could have done more."Reach John McCoy at firstname.lastname@example.com or 304-348-1231.

Streetsboro Economic Development Director Bill Bishilany is resigning as of March 10, saying he's accepted a new job offer that "he couldn't pass up."
Bishilany will become the chief of staff for the Opportunities for Ohioans with Disabilities Agency in Columbus, working for director Kevin Miller. He will begin his duties March 10.
"It was an offer I couldn't refuse," he said. "It's a different atmosphere at state government than local government. I like being in a leadership position. It's an exciting challenge, and it's about helping people who really need help."
Bishilany served as Streetsboro's economic development director since April 29, 2013. His annual salary was $84,000.
"Bill will oversee a large staff. He couldn't pass up this offer," said Mayor Glenn Broska. "Bill said they offered him the job once before, and he turned it down because he wanted to be working in Streetsboro. They came after him again"
Broska said the city has "put out feelers" for a successor.
"We are interviewing candidates. We have one candidate who is rated extremely high, and we are doing what we can to bring that person on board."
Broska said the person that takes that position will be positioning themselves to be "very successful."
"Streetsboro is getting a lot of notice (in terms of economic development)," he said. "If that person comes in and beats the bushes and busts their chops, they're going to do the city proud."
Broska praised Bishilany's performance. "Bill has brought professionalism here that we have not seen," he said.
Bishilany is a former deputy state treasurer and state economic development director, and a former Seven Hills director of public works and five-term Seven Hills City Council member and council president.

We've felt there are a number of improvements that can be made and that these might benefit from thinking more globally about how to do them rather than add a few convenience functions. Then there is the issue of whether these changes are added to the numarray version, etc. But help would be welcomed. I'd say wait a little bit until we put out an alpha and then start some discussion on how it should be improved. The astropy mailing list is a better forum for that than this one though.

A woman who battled to turn her life around after finding herself homeless as a teenager has won a prestigious royal award.
Charlie Burley, 20, from Brighton, was supported by the Prince's Trust youth charity after her life began to spiral out of control five years ago.
She has now won the American Express Breakthrough Award at The Prince's Trust Celebrate Success Awards.
The award recognises young people who have developed new skills to enable them to face their challenges and stabilise their lives.
At 15, Ms Burley's difficult childhood led to her becoming homeless and she developed an erratic lifestyle of sofa-surfing with friends.
She eventually found sheltered accommodation at her local YMCA but struggled at school, leaving with only one GCSE.
She then joined The Prince's Trust Team programme, provided by City College Brighton and Hove, which helps disadvantaged young people gain the skills and confidence they need to turn their lives around.
Team player
Ms Burley found it difficult to settle and integrate into the programme at first but eventually her shyness wore off and she became one of its strongest team members.
She also ended up being asked for guidance and support by her peers.
As her confidence built up with the help from the trust, Ms Burley found a work placement at a local college for disabled children.
She said: "Meeting people more disadvantaged than myself made me realise I didn't want to ruin my life."
Ms Burley went on to secure an apprenticeship with her local Job Centre where she is now often asked to deliver presentations about the Prince's Trust.
Road to success
She is now well on the road to developing a successful career and due to start an Open University course soon.
Ms Burley said: "I enjoyed the public training workshop and feel more confident about talking in front of people now.
"I've been through a lot but The Prince's Trust has helped me to turn everything around.
"Winning this award shows how far I've come and I'm looking forward to getting my career started."
Colin Walsh, executive vice president at American Express Europe, said: "On behalf of all at American Express I would like to congratulate Charlie for winning this award. Charlie has come a long way and I'd like to wish her the very best for their future."

Whatever you do, do not bust out a coupon or gift card before the 5th date or before you learn her mother's maiden name.
As much as we women want you to be savvy with your money, nothing comes off as more cheap then whipping out a gift card for the movie theater on the first date. The key is to hide the fact you are trying to save your money by taking her out on amazing dates.
Here are some ideas that won't break the bank:
Old school, thoughtful and cheap! Head to your local city park (preferably one without killer ducks and hobos) with a blanket, some yummy sammies from your favorite deli and bottle of wine. Bring bread for the ducks because nothing screams 'sweet guy' like guy feeding ducks bread. This is perfect for a weekend date, especially if you have a dog.
Most cities have farmer markets, small music and/or art festivals on the weekend. Grab some sunglasses and mosey around the booths for an hour or so. Take it up a notch and pick out fresh veggies and make her dinner later. Some cities have an outdoor theater and offer some sort of 'theater under the stars', typically these are free and offer some decent entertainment.
Frozen Yogurt/Coffee:
Think small when wanting to impress her. A quaint little local coffee shop can be romantic to a woman. There's something about the eclectic junk on the walls and yummy smells that make us feel like we are sitting in Aunt Madge's living room, in doing so makes us more comfortable. Something just as delicious and inexpensive as a frozen yogurt joint with a place to walk around and chat is always fun.
It's recommended you take the girl out for a nice dinner for the first date or two. But once you start to settle into 'getting to know you' phase better, invite her over for dinner. Yes, you have to make dinner. But come on, girls LOVE a man that can cook, or at least look cute trying to cook. Try to find out what her favorite meal is and cook it. Extra bonus points. Clean up your place, get rid of the roomie, hide the Sports Illustrated Calendar and rent a movie.
Trivia Night:
Here's the secret to taking her out to your favorite bar without spending a lot of money, go on a school night (during the week). Some bars have trivia nights with awesome specials on cheap beer and yummy food. Tell her you want to take her out for a 'fun and casual' night of trivia and beer. Swoon- worthy for any girl that isn't high maintenance.
If you are concerned that your new lady friend won't like these ideas, it's probably best to find a new girl that is actually cool and not a stick in the mud. Plan a date, don't over think it, be a gentleman and have fun while not spending a ton of money.

Kyle Vinales watched the NCAA Tournament with great interest and looked into his crystal basketball. He didn't see himself ever participating in the sport's marquee event as a member of the Central Connecticut Blue Devils.
That's the main reason that he is leaving. Vinales, who scored 1,179 points through two seasons and was on pace to shatter the Central career scoring record, will transfer to a program that he expects will be in postseason contention and give him an opportunity to compete against the nation's best players on the biggest stage.

Get Your Dog Care Questions Answered by Experts
Star gazing in dogs can be either due to a very mild focal seizure in dogs, or it can be part of an obsessive compulsive behavior. Unfortunately, It can be hard to tell the difference between these two. The only way to diagnose mild seizures for certain is with an electroencephalogram (EEG) which records electrical activity of the brain. These are not routinely done in dogs because they are not really practical. Dogs won't sit still to have all these elctrodes attached to them, and if you sedate them so that they will be still, it changes the results of the test.
If there are other behaviors that may suggest a focal seizure, such as facial tics or ear twitching, that may suggest seizure activity. If there are other behavioral issues, such as obsessive licking, chasing tail, or really anything that just seems weird to you, it may be behavioral.
At this point, it may be a good idea to keep a written record of these events or other things you notice. If these episodes are getting more frequent or lasting longer, your vet may consider trying her on some medication. Which medication is used would depend on whether this seems more like seizure activity or obsessive compulsive behavior. It may help your vet to see an episode of this, so if she does it some more, try catching an episode on video so you can share it with your vet.
I hope this answers your question. If so, please click Accept. If you need more information, please let me know.

Cobaine Ivory, Rocki's CharlieRED crewmate, even contributes live strings to 6th Sense's upbeat instrumental. Digging it? Rest assured, you're not The Only One. More fresh, innovative tunes await on Tanya Morgan's Rubber Souls LP, out now via Imprint One80.

Financial need is determined by subtracting the family's Expected Family Contribution (EFC) from ENC's Cost of Attendance and subtracting any additional resources/scholarships. So, financial need is determined to be:
Cost of Attendance - Expected Family Contribution (EFC) - Resources / Scholarships = Eligibility for Need-based Financial Aid
Cost of Attendance is the estimated amount it will cost to attend Eastern Nazarene College for one academic year. See
Undergraduate Cost of Attendance for more information.
Your EFC is an index number that the Financial Aid Office uses to determine how much financial aid you can receive if you attend ENC. The information you report on your FAFSA is used to calculate your EFC.
The EFC is calculated according to a formula established by law. Your family's taxed and untaxed income, assets, and benefits (such as unemployment or Social Security) can all be considered in the formula. Also considered are your family size and the number of family members who will attend college or career school during the year. Please review the EFC Formula Guide to see exactly how an EFC is calculated.
Federal regulations require that financial assistance recipients meet standards of academic progress. The standards established by the Office of Financial Aid, consistent with the federal student aid requirements, are detailed in the
Satisfactory Academic Progress (SAP) Policy and published in the Undergraduate Catalog.
The Office of Financial Aid awards financial aid packages for eligible students, which may consist of a combination of grants, work-study, and loan assistance. Packages and award amounts from each program vary depending on the financial need of the applicant, the limitations imposed by the various programs, and the availability of funds. Students who apply by the priority deadline of March 1st are awarded on a "first-processed, first-served" basis. Once a financial aid package has been awarded, the applicant will be sent an award notification letter indicating the types and amounts of aid offered. This letter must be signed and returned to the Office of Financial Aid. In addition, if loans are accepted, additional steps & processing time are required. If you've received your award letter and have made decisions on acquiring additional loans, we will add the approved loan to the award letter. It is important that you also know your Rights and Responsibilities.
Most available financial assistance (including student loans) is disbursed at the beginning of each term toward your college bill. These funds are used to pay all college charges including tuition and fees, room and board, and miscellaneous expenses. Once these funds have paid your entire student account, any remaining balance is available to the student in the form of bookstore vouchers and/or check.
When a student withdraws, a
Return to Title IV (R2T4) calculation is processed. The Higher Education Amendments of 1998 changed the formula for calculating the amount of aid a student and school can retain when the student totally withdraws from all classes. Students who withdraw from all classes
prior to completing more than 60% of an enrollment term will have their eligibility for aid recalculated based on the percent of the term completed. Federal Aid is returned according to the Return of Title IV Funds process as mandated by Federal Law. ENC is required to use the Return of Title IV Funds process to
calculate the unearned portion of financial aid received and return it according to the federal schedule.
Title IV (Federal Aid) Student Eligibility Requirements
Volume One of the Federal Student Aid Handbook outlines general eligibility criteria for students who are applying for federal title IV funds. These include:
