Walt Lenar thanked all of the Division Coordinators for their hard work this past season.
Bob Dieterle reviewed the financial report. He stated that there would be an audit done starting on December 2, 1999. Looking into purchasing Treasury Bills.
Wendell Domon noted that there were fewer red cards this season but more cards overall in the League. Also stated that the point accumulation for individual players was higher. Wendell thanked everyone for returning the Referee Evaluation Cards to him. Noted that action will be taken if the referees do not check player passes and coach's passes. The Referee Evaluation Cards need to be revised. The two-referee system is outlawed by FIFA and that is what is stated on the cards.
The majority of complaints that are received are the lack of referees, the inconsistency of the referees and referees not checking player and coach's passes.
Wendell also discussed the Game Report Cards. If a player and/or team official must sit out a game it must be noted on the Game Report Card. If it is not noted the following things may occur.
Robin reviewed what was each Club Rep and team packet. POT was inadvertently put in with ONLY on the Sportsmanship Award List. She stated that POT did receive sportsmanship awards for three (3) of their teams. She apologized for the error. New Winter Office hours are Monday-Friday 9:00am - 1:00pm.
Generally reviewed the forms for the following season then introduced Carol Baker from Demosphere who further elaborated on how the system was to work.
Most forms will be electronically filled out on line, with a few exceptions.
Question was asked regarding a time/date of the latest update of each Club's Field Loading. It was changing so frequently that the Reps did not know if they had the current list. Carol will check with Jay Baker regarding this.
Kathie stated that there were order forms for all Club Reps and their teams on the chairs. The League will have first priority before it goes on sale to the public. Quantities are limited so it will be on a first come, first served basis. Kathie asked that the Club Reps distribute the fliers to their teams.
Kathie stated that the Division Coordinators would be permitted to make a presentation regarding the division structure of their age group to the Board of Directors at the Division Structure meeting in February. She recommended that each division coordinator from the age group have a meeting prior to the Division Structure meeting to agree on the structure of age group rather than having all five coordinators attend this meeting. If there is a major difference of opinion, then the Board of Directors will hear both options.
There will be a Club Rep working Session on FEBRUARY 12, 2000. Please mark your calendars now. This will be an opportunity for everyone to come up with a workable solution to some of the problems in the League. Kathie will invite the Maryland and Virginia State Presidents, SRA's, and Referee Assignors for their input. Kathie expects all Club Reps to make this top priority on your soccer calendars. This will hope to be a very productive event. We will sent out invitations regarding time and location at a later date.
Kathie stated that the League is aware of the referee problem, especially in Northern Virginia, that occurred this season. Unfortunately it is very hard to supply more referees. Kathie has spoken to several people and has come up with some very good ideas on how to improve future coverage.
KID SAFE FORMS Kathie announced that all Virginia teams must sign and return a Kid Safe Form to her acknowledging that they have fulfilled their responsibilities. Kathie had them available at the meeting for anyone needing them.
RULE CHANGESWAGS proposed rules changes passed and amended
Attached is a copy of housekeeping the proposed rule changes. All rule changes and housekeeping passed with a few oppositions.

I recently unlocked my bootloader and went to install a custom rom with Clockwork Recovery. It got stuck on the HTC boot screen (using an M7), and it would not move. I hard booted the device, and it corrupted my data.
Now, when going into CWM, the device reboots. I have tried reflashing CWM to no avail, so I then tried flashing TWRP. TWRP cannot mount any partition other than system. Problematically, I cannot get adb to recognize my device when in recovery (on multiple computers) but can get fastboot to detect it.
I cannot get a new image onto my phone via usb to fix it, and I cannot use the following guide (edit, cannot post links yet) to fix my corrupted data as a result. Also, I cannot get the device to show up as mountable storage in windows (I have yet to try Linux) to transfer files to it.
What are my options here?

8.2 All written materials, visual presentations, and other documentary evidence with the exception of maps and photographs which either the appellant or the Department of Tax Administration intends to present during a hearing must first be filed with the BOE. Any such evidence filed by the appellant must be received by June 1, and any such evidence filed by the Department of Tax Administration must be sent to the appellant at the time of notification of the date and time of the hearing.
9. Appeals
9.1 Any request for rehearing of a panel decision where there was dissent must be made in writing, directed to the BOE and received by the Office of the BOE no more than 14 days after the date of the original decision.

The case will only be reconsidered upon a unanimous vote of all members present.

Minerals are required by all dairy cows, and the amounts found in most feeds normally are inadequate for high milk production or growth. If these requirements are not met, deficiency symptoms can occur. Pastures in the USA are no exception and are often deficient in several minerals compared to the NRC requirements. Even with grain supplementation of pasture-based diets, most rations need to be supplemented with concentrated sources of certain minerals.
Usually minerals are categorized as "macrominerals" and "microminerals." The macrominerals are generally expressed as percent of the dry matter of a feed. Minerals needed in lesser amounts, often called trace minerals, are usually expressed as parts per million (PPM) or milligrams per kilogram.

// Define constants and variables for buffering incoming serial data.

Another useful tip is to increase the baud rate of the Computer - Arduino serial port. By using 115200, I was able to print all the data without any problem

Is there any way that I could get breast augmentation, buttocks implants, & lipo suction to my hip sides (love handles) all at ones? I know I could have the first 2 done in one surgery, which are the breast and butt implants but how about the side hips at the same surgery? Possible? Can I sleep on the areas where I had work on during my recovery? Thanks a lot all

Could I Get Breast Aug, Lipo, And Butt Implants All At Once?
I think that combination is reasonable with the right surgeon.

Combining Breast and Buttock Implants Makes For A Difficult Recovery
While all three can be done together, it would make for a difficult recovery. Combining four implantation sites which involves the large pectoral and gluteus muscles is likely more than you may imagine. Flank liposuction can be done with either breast augmentation or the buttock implant procedure.

Breast Augmentation, Liposuction and Buttock Implants in one surgery
Thanks for your question. In a healthy patient, yes the above combo can be done in one procedure. I have performed this combo on select patients safely and effectively in the past and is a fairly popular combo. During recovery, it is important not to place pressure on either the breast implants or the gluteal implants, so you will have to sleep on your sides (like in a fetal position) for about 3-4 weeks. In my practice, I typically perform liposuction on the flanks and the lumbosacral area to produce a more aesthetic narrower waistline and have that sweep upwards from the buttocks to the lower back.

Breast Aug, Buttock Implants, and Liposuction Combo
Indeed this can all be done in the same surgery on an otherwise healthy patient. In fact about 50% of my patients benefit from lipo-sculpture of the "love handles" at the same time as buttock implants. This creates a more slender waist line which, by itself, enhances the appearance of the buttock. The difficult part is the combination of the breast and buttock implants at the same time because this leaves only one option for sleeping and resting - on the back primarily. Nonetheless, patients are typically able to tolerate this and recover as well as most others whom just have buttock implants. Glad to help...

Combined surgery
Hello again Ana, As I answered you before, technically and time wise, it is possible to do all your surgeries in one setting. However, recovery will be very difficult for you. You will not be able to sleep on your stomach or on your back or on your sides. You will be able to sit, but you will have to be leaning forward , to take the pressure off the incision between the cheeks. So , in short, I do not recommend it. Your best option is breast augmentation and lipo in one surgery and butt implants in another one. Cosmetic surgery is purely ellective and you need to reduce complicaions to a minimum. Splitting the surgeries in 2 sessions will do it. All the best , Dr Widder.

Combination Surgery
Any of these surgeries, breast augmentation, Butt implant and liposuction require attention to details to achieve a super results and liposuction is not just taking out fat, it is a body contouring surgery that details are very important. These combinations can be done provided the above is followed and choosing the right size implants for both the breast and the butt, choosing the right surgeon with appropriate credentials, accredited facility, and an MD anesthesiologist. One needs to minimize the potential for complications, with the aim of the best results that both the surgeon and the patients are proud of.

We make resolutions to adapt new habits, set new goals and make changes large and small.
In that spirit, we asked readers to tell us about the first time they did something or about something they planned to do for the first time in 2012.
Here are some of their answers:
Perhaps no one would believe this when I explain, but I had my very first martini at the Westin Providence Hotel's Nautical Lounge. It was so delicious, just like a vanilla milkshake except it happened to be a white chocolate martini!
David (now my husband) and I decided to stop in before our flight out to Las Vegas (my first time) for my 50th birthday, and when the bartender asked me what I wanteded to have to drink I gave her my usual confused look and asked her, "What's really good because I'm celebrating a new era, the BIG 5-0!"
Within seconds, she very quickly said, "Oh, you just have to have our white chocolate martini. It's absolutely delicious!" Then her next question was, "Are you kidding? You've really never had a martini." My reply was somewhat embarrassing since most people have had tons of martinis way way before their 50th birthday.
I told her that I was being wicked honest and had never ever tasted a martini. So in celebration of my birthday, going to Las Vegas for the first time and with tickets to see Celine Dion in concert at Caesar's Palace on my exact birth date I took her up on her offer!
OMG. It was so good. It went down just like like melted ice cream and since that day, (for) anyone I happen to be with that hasn't tried one, (it's) the first drink that I suggest they have!
Maureen T. Ender, Ludlow
I became a first time "Nonni" (grandmother) to Gabrielle Michael Enzo Bongiorno on Feb. 19, 2011.
I will fly to Las Vegas to be with him on his first birthday next month! I love being a "Nonni"!
Cynthia Gorman, Chicopee
Last year was my first year in New York. I lived way uptown on 91st Street and 2nd Avenue. I got my first unlimited metro card, paid for my first cab ride in quarters and got my first iced coffee delivered to my door.
I also took yoga for the first time , went on my first non-equity cattle call and walked from my apartment to my school on 18th street. Really, it's impossible to name all of the firsts one has when living in New York, but it was amazing and tough and I wouldn't change a thing about it.
Kellie Welch, Holyoke and New York City
I plan to exercise six days of out seven for all of 2012. I want this to be a habit I enjoy doing, not something I dread like I have these past 52 years!
I started this in November, and, so far, I haven't missed a day!
Becky Castro, Northampton
I love this quote by Rainer Maria Rilke: "And now let us welcome the new year full of things that have never been."
If you really think about this, it will cast a unique light on things old and new, and make them all seem like firsts.
Teresa Utt, Holyoke (and the inspiration for our reader "firsts" feature)
Here's what I'm planning to do for the first time in 2012:
Take trapeze lessons; I've always wanted to do it and this is my year!
Complete the Tough Mudder, http://toughmudder.com/ .
Erin Corriveau, Agawam
A first, and a last!
Many years ago, fresh out of college, I hosted my first dinner party. I decided to go Asian.
Because I wanted a first course, I started with what else, Ramen noodles, a favorite among young college students.
I couldn't figure out how much water to add to make soup for four. In fact, I botched the whole calculation of water to soup.
It was horrible. My guests politely pushed the bowls aside. When I tasted my creation, I was so embarrassed.
Several decades later, I have hosted many parties and my specialty is, you guessed it, soup.
Sometimes when you just get it all wrong, it forces you to figure it out so it never happens like that again!
I am proud to say that I am a heck of a great soup maker, and everyone in my family loves when I make soup.
Karen Herlands, Simsbury, Conn.
In September, I decided to quit smoking and drinking. I started working out four times a week and have been following a workout regiment twice a week since the beginning of January.
On Jan. 7, I enrolled at Holyoke Community College to start on my goal to become a registered nurse by 2017. After working in the medical field for almost 11 years, I felt that I was ready - I have the knowledge and medical background, my two sons are at an age where they are self-sufficient, and I wanted to do something for my mind, since I have been exercising my body.
I had never been to college, and I felt that this was the right time for me to pursue this dream. I have been talking about this for almost three years and that's pretty much what I kept doing was just talking about it.
When I told my sons that I was going to do this, my oldest said, "Yeah right, I've heard this before." I thought to myself OMG my sons are absolutely right. How can I talk about achieving goals, if all I do is talk about mine and don't do a thing about it?
I want to prove to myself that I can do this. I am very excited about this new first chapter in my life.

This is a great tasting crispbread. A friend gave me a box of Multi-Grain, & I fell in love with the taste & texture. After discovering that none of the stores I shop at carry any of the Ryvita products, I searched the web & found I could order from iHerb. Thanks so much.
Posted by iHerb Customer on Apr 06, 2011 | Verified Purchase
I bought this during one of my flights of fancy when I imagine myself eating healthily all the time. These will probably last a long time in my house! But that said, I've known Ryvita all my life, and like them.

World championship
The steely demeanour of Rachel Homan's Team Canada rink may have already been put to its biggest test — a few days before the world women's curling championship in Riga, Latvia.
The Homan crew, including teammates Emma Miskew, Alison Kreviazuk and Lisa Weagle, was stuck in an airport in Frankfurt, Germany for a day, unable to get out because of a snowstorm.
There may have been more people in that airport than there will be at the curling facility in Riga, beginning Saturday. It's not exactly a curling hotbed and will be silent compared to the noise generated at the K-Rock Centre in Kingston, where the Homan rink, based out of the Ottawa Curling Club, won the Scotties Tournament of Hearts a couple of weeks ago.
TSN curling analyst Linda Moore knows a thing or two about the world championship. She's a former world champion and will be in Latvia to cover this year's competition -- part of a dynamic broadcast crew along with Russ Howard and Vic Rauter. She says Homan has a good chance of bringing a world title home to Canada -- something that hasn't been done since Jennifer Jones won gold in 2008.
"You can't go into any game anymore and expect to win," said Moore. "You play one game at a time. But Rachel has a great team. They've developed a style of play that's different than any other team we're going to see.
"They play runbacks with up weight better than the other teams and they have a tick shot they play in any end, starting with the first end. (Lead) Lisa Weagle made 8-of-9 tick shots in the (Scotties) final. It's a weapon.
"I'm very impressed with the way they perform in big games. The team is very well prepared, they're well coached. I don't think they'll be bothered stepping onto the world stage."
Coach Earle Morris hopes the team can ride the momentum from the Scotties.
"You don't have to raise your level of play over there," said Earle Morris. "You just have to keep doing all the great things you do and the outcomes take care of themselves."
Homan, who knocked off Jones in the Scotties final to reach the worlds, isn't taking anything for granted.
"We need to play well and get into the playoffs," said Homan. "They're all tough teams, there's a lot of experience. It's really just about focusing on each shot and be in the present.
"It's going to be a different experience. There will be less people cheering for us. But it's an opportunity we're thankful for. It's an unbelievable feeling -- we're going to represent our country the best we can. It's sunk in that we're Canadian champs ... now we're going to go there and try and become world champs."
Moore took a look at some of the top competitors that Homan will have to beat.
"(Scotland's) Eve Muirhead is a four-time world junior champion," said Moore. "They were very good at the European championships. Eve has been spectacular. I expect them to be much better.
"Russia (Anna Sidorova) is developing very quickly. They're really gaining ground. They don't seem to be intimidated by anyone anymore. They go in expecting to win now.
"Sweden was second last year and you'd have to think they'll be a top contender. It's unique the way they choose the team. It's picked by their national coach (Peja Lindholm).
"China (Bingyu Wang) seemed like they got into a burnout mode; they were playing too much. It'll be interesting to see how they do here."
Here are the broadcast times for Team Canada games on TSN (all times EST)

Hi there - I've got colourbox to open inline content on page load. {open:true}
Great. But I want this pop up to only open the first time the page is loaded. It's like the client wants a message on open (using inline content) but once the close click is made and the user returns to the home page, the code should not be executed.
So - open colourbox inline content on first visit to site.
Any ideas?
help appreciatedVanrooj
set a cookie the first time you open color box, then add a check for that cookie before opening color box.
now it should only open once.

So you've been thinking about getting into the hobby of listening :-)
There are few hobbies as fun as listening to music. It's one of those that you can make your own and depending on how much you learn about what it takes to make great sound you can enjoy music at a level you never thought was possible.
We're a pretty lucky crowd really because of two people who decided to make this hobby more of a known than un-known. Many of us look at J. Gordon Holt and Harry Pearson as the fathers of the high end audio press movement. And what a movement, as we went from writers telling us that the audio signal was more of a number than a personality to the personality of the recording coming to life in our rooms. For me these two guys represented going from sound to a soundstage which even since a little kid was something that fascinated me. I jumped into my music career before I could drive and never looked back. Finding these two magazines after years of creating a soundstage on my own was like finding lost siblings. I actually already had my own stereo store in Atlanta and was runing sound for the Atlanta Symphony before introduced TAS and Stereophile. It wasn't long before I sarted buying up every recommended component on the list. Learning the combinations of recreating a soundstage came natural for me because of creating the same stages from the proside. Playing a stereo was simply in reverse of making the stereo and I knew all about that cause I was the kid who slept in the studio and the first on the tour bus growing up. Live sound (studio and hall) was the nightly event of creating a world that you could fall deeply into, a connection between the music and listener. Some guys ran sound and others created it. There's a major difference between the two and the guys who ran it never understood the creators. It was like they didn't know how to hear depth and only understood side to side and out of the middle. Their life was mono or pan which is a completely different mindset from front to back. The audio magazines felt the same way when I first started reading them. I could tell who the side to side guys were and who the front to back guys were. Audio equipment was also the same. Some companies you could tell were going after depth and others sounded like they were created for a flat plane. One was built from straight lines and the other was about the 3D wholeness. This to me is step one in deciding where to go with this hobby.
what does the hobby mean to you
There are a few parts to the hobby of listening and each one of them has their own set of values. You might think that it is one hobby at first but the further you get into it you see the lines being drawn and it's important to indentify where you fit before you are too deeply in.
One part is the volume seeker. This is the guy who can't have it loud enough.
The living room listener. This is the fella who is working around his furniture, and fitting the stereo into it.
The collector. The audio component collector is more into the products as they stand on an individual unit or merit.
The engineer. He is a guy who uses test equipment to make the calls in the system performance.
The equipment explorer. This is about the mixing and matching of components to create different sounds.
The extreme listener. This is the guy who takes into account all the parts that makes sound happen and builds a system that can recreate the recording.
The music style listener. This is a person who usually stays in one camp (type) of music.
Each of these types of listener has their own world and is usually in defense of that world as being the "way" once they get started, so one of the first things I try to find out is what kind of a hobbyist is the listener. This hobby is full of opinions and each one has their own personal view of music and what they perceive as right. Many get into the hobby at one level or with one goal only to find out that they are in a completely different place than they originally wanted to be and getting back to that place is harder than they thought. Peer pressure unfortunately is a driving factor as a listener starts to invest and the more you learn about your place in this hobby the easier it will be for you to get on a path of successful listening. It's not uncommon at all for a hobbyist to purchase many components before they realize what path they even want to go in, and back tracking along with sideways detours is very likely if a person does not have a clear view of the hobby.

If league tables never lie then Malta's UEFA EURO 2004™ qualifying tie against Slovenia on Wednesday night will be a no-contest. Malta, Group 1's bottom club with five defeats from five matches, trail their visitors by six points going into the game at the National stadium, Ta'Qali. According to Malta and Hibernians FC goalkeeper Mario Muscat, however, the result is anything but a foregone conclusion. "We can get something out of this match," he told uefa.com.
uefa.com: Bottom of your group and beaten 6-0 away to France on your last outing, how confident are you ahead of the qualifier against Slovenia?
Mario Muscat: I think we can get a positive result against them in front of our own fans, and I am confident we will also do well at home to Cyprus if the coach has all his players available.
We can pull off a surprise or two in these games and hopefully get our first win. But then we have another tough match in our final qualifier away to Israel.
uefa.com: How happy are you with Malta's form in the section so far?
Muscat: Despite the result in Lens, I think we tried to play football for the first forty minutes against France. But once they scored, there was no stopping them. France are not just the strongest team in the group; they are the best in the world at the moment. Our position at the bottom does worry me, but we have been unlucky in many of our games. For instance, away to Cyprus, we could easily have gone in at half-time 2-0 up yet we ended up losing 2-1.
uefa.com: How highly do you rate the standard of Maltese football, at club level and at international level?
Muscat: Maltese football has suffered from a general lack of excitement and interest this season, with Sliema Wanderers [FC] dominating the Premier League from the start and nobody really challenging them. But the national team has improved. Last year we had a six-match unbeaten run. Then we beat the Balearic Islands in December and drew with Kazakhstan in a friendly in February. So the criticism that followed the defeat against France was unfair in my opinion.
We have to look forward and continue to show signs of progress in our remaining EURO 2004™ qualifiers.
uefa.com: What is needed if the game in Malta is to make real progress?
Muscat: Facilities are the priority if we really are to improve the standard of Maltese football. Without the right professional facilities, I can't see the game developing. There has to be investment at grassroots level, too, and if I was a Premier League chairman I would invest in an academy. Then, looking at the national team, the more our players go abroad, the better they will become and standards will improve accordingly.
uefa.com: You played in the UEFA Champions League qualifying rounds last summer. How did you enjoy the experience?
Muscat: After winning the league with Hibernians last season, everyone at the club wanted to get into the Champions League. We beat Shelbourne [FC] with two great performances, then played well in the second qualifying round against Boavista [FC] but went out 7-3 on aggregate. I suppose you have to bear in mind that Boavista then reached the UEFA Cup semi-finals. But the Champions League was an unforgettable experience. I would have loved to have drawn a big club after our first qualifying round win, and maybe that will happen if they change the format of the competition.

9. Use the leash as a pocket.
Take advantage of what that leash can hold, besides the dog. One woman I stayed with laughed at what was hooked to Seymour's leash. It was like a doggie charm bracelet. I had his poop bag holder, a collapsible doggie bowl and a small bungee cord dangling from his leash. The poop bag holder was multi-purpose. I would take out the roll of bags and only stuff two or three in the holder, covering the hole. In the back I carried a little money. I figured that if I was pick pocketed, no one would think of stealing the poop bag holder! The folding bowl was indispensable. For myself, I carried a filtered water bottle that I filled up every morning. When Seymour got thirsty, I just opened his bowl and poured in the water. The bungee was useful if I had to tie him somewhere beside me for a moment. He was thrilled to lie in the sun while I munched on a piece of pizza and I was happy that he was safe beside me.
10. What I won't bring next time…
I read all of the information I could find on the Internet related to bringing a dog to Italy. Some of the information was good and some didn't work for us. I wouldn't bring pee pads again. Seymour didn't know how to use them when we were at home, so I don't know what made me think he would magically use them on our trip. I had great plans to take him into the ladies' room between flights, put down a pad and say "pee." I did, but he didn't. I read that they need a muzzle and that I'd have to show it upon request. Not one person asked to see the muzzle. I spent many hours trying to find one that would fit Seymour. If I forget to bring it next time, I won't stress over it.
What I will bring next time is my best friend, Seymour. He opened doors (not literally) to communication. We were often mistaken as locals: Tourists would use broken Italian to try to ask me for directions, and Italians would speak fluent Italian while gushing over him. He was good company when I got lonely, he took up very little space, he made me laugh every day, and we never once got into an argument. That's what I call a perfect travel companion.

A Notebook Accidentally Thrown Out!
A sad tale!
I am not the sum total of my tattered alphabetical notebook, which currently lies in the slush of the Wellington tip, but that slice of old technology was a part of me. It must have disappeared when I emptied out the contents of my waste paper bin, congratulating myself for remembering collection day, but forgetting to check the contents. As is so often the case when I congratulate myself, disaster followed.

What a depressing read. Still not sure what her cherished notebook was doing in the wastebasket in the first place. Did I miss something?


text: Will Mountaineers cash in on 'poaching season?' By Chris Anderson January 7, 2014 Story Share It's that time of year again. No, it's not time for people to break their week-old New Year's resolution, or time for the kids to head back to school, or even time to fall into a deep depression because another college football game will not be played for another seven and a half months.It's poaching season.That's right. This time of year, college coaches are getting hired, getting fired or "resigning" (ahem, Mack Brown). With all of the upheaval and only four weeks until National Signing Day, this leaves recruits around the country with second thoughts, and advantageous coaches prepared to offer new opportunities.Over the years, West Virginia has been both a victim and a winner from this tumultuous season. Just last year, the Mountaineers were the beneficiaries, particularly thanks to the hires of Tony Gibson and Brian Mitchell. When Gibson arrived from Arizona, two of the Wildcats' prized commitments - linebacker Brandon Golson and wide receiver Mario Alford - immediately called to schedule an official visit. The same happened with defensive end (and East Carolina commit) Dontrill Hyman. Eventually, all three flipped their commitments to the Mountaineers, signed in February and made substantial impacts last fall.In 2014, change elsewhere - rather than in Morgantown - could be beneficial for the Mountaineers.Miami - Let's start with the "bad news" first. Al Golden was assumed to be heading from Miami back to his alma mater, Penn State, over the weekend, and West Virginia was set to reap the rewards of that change. On the surface, it may not sound like a positive move for the Mountaineers - an excellent head coach and recruiter essentially moving into their back yard. However, West Virginia is battling with the Hurricanes for more recruits than it is with Penn State.In all, the Mountaineers hosted three Miami commits for official visits: athlete Brandon Powell, cornerback Nigel Bethel and outside linebacker Mike Smith. A source tells me Powell, an early enrollee, was fully prepared to enroll in Morgantown this week had Golden announced he was leaving on Sunday. The three-star prospect admits he would have enrolled somewhere other than Miami, but did not wish to name the school. Had Golden elected to return to his alma mater, there's a decent chance WVU would have ended up with at least two (Powell and Bethel) of those three, if not the entire trio.Penn State - Again, this may come as a surprise to most who do not follow recruiting religiously, but the Mountaineers and Nittany Lions simply have not clashed on the recruiting trail that much. Of Penn State's 19 current commitments, only three received offers from West Virginia - Middletown (Del.) wide receiver Chris Godwin, Swansboro (N.C.) wide receiver DeAndre Thompkins and Gilman (Md.) cornerback Troy Vincent.Thompkins re-affirmed his commitment this week, but both Godwin and Vincent say they still need time to think about their situation and see who the new coach is going to be before deciding. Godwin trained at times with current West Virginia wideout Daikiel Shorts, while Vincent - son of the former NFL corner of the same name - camped in Morgantown last summer.Louisville - This is where the Mountaineers could really take advantage, if they choose to do so. With Charlie Strong off to Texas, the Cardinals' class is falling apart. Three players have already decommitted or flipped to another school, while several more are looking around.Two players who remain committed but say they will look into other are schools are Fort Pierce Central (Fla.) defensive end Rashawn Shaw and Smallwood (Fla.) wide receiver Desean Blair. Shaw tells me that shortly after the news of Strong's departure, Mountaineer assistant coach JaJuan Seider reached out to him. "He told me their doors are still open to me and that I can come up and play for them," he said. "He said that I'm the pass rusher they are looking for and that it will be a second family being up there."Shaw had already been talking to Seider, his area recruiter, for weeks, but says the absence of a head coach at Louisville cemented his intentions to visit Morgantown. He is planning that trip, as well as stops at Duke and Virginia before Feb. 5, National Signing Day.Blair has been committed to Louisville since April, but plans to check out Purdue, West Virginia and Nebraska. He originally had a visit set for Morgantown on Jan. 17, but a last-minute offer from the Cornhuskers has those plans up in the air. The one aspect working in WVU's favor is that he is a former teammate of current Mountaineer safety Malik Greaves.Although he has elected not to speak with the media since the news of Strong's departure, Northmont (Ohio) defensive end Terry Ramsey could be the name to watch most closely. The three-star prospect was down to Michigan State, Louisville and West Virginia, planning to visit the three schools in that order in successive weeks. Heading into the trips, WVU was his leader, but Strong convinced him to commit to the Cardinals before he ever made it to Morgantown.Assistant coaches TBD - Much is made in the media and among fans of head coaching changes when it comes to recruiting. However, departures of assistant coaches mean more to recruits in most situations. These coaches are the ones who have been building a relationship with the players for months, if not years (head coaches' contact is limited by NCAA rules), and the players also know that they will spend far more time with their position coach than the head coach.That's why you saw the flips of Alford, Golson and Hyman late in the process last year. In the case of Hyman, he had been recruited by Mitchell for four years, dating back to high school. There was little doubt he would be following him to Morgantown.Again, there are no changes expected on West Virginia's staff, but there will be plenty of movement elsewhere. Those moves will come to a head during the annual coaches' convention Jan. 13-15 ... which just so happens to coincide with the restart of the contact period. Then the real fun begins.For more coverage of West Virginia recruiting, visit www.eersports.com.

The First Aid at Work Refresher qualification will update and re-qualify employees up to the standard required by the Health and Safety Executive for the purpose of the Health and Safety (First Aid) Regulations 1981.
New First Aid Legislation - October 2013
As of the 1st October 2013 the Health and Safety Executive is no longer required to formally approve first aid training and qualifications for the workplace. The law still states that employers should provide adequate and appropriate equipment and personnel to provide assistance to injured or ill colleagues, and provide trained first aiders based on their own needs assessment, this has not changed. The HSE will still ensure a standard of first aid training for the workplace is maintained.
A Provider You Can Trust
You must ensure that where your needs assessment indicates you need first aiders, they receive
training that will teach them the necessary first aid skills and leave them feeling confident that
they could respond to an emergency. To guarantee this, you should pick a training provider you can trust.

"Nigel our instructor was excellent in his execution of the training. He put the information in such a way that it required you to think. He has a very easy and likeable manner whilst also getting the job done and the best out of us delegates. It would be nice if there was somewhere that we could have gone to relax in the lunch break, but other than that I was absolutely satisfied."
Sue Triplow
"I have to say the instructor was the best I have ever had over the several first aid courses I have been on in the past few years. She kept us engaged and I felt I learnt more and retained more than I had previously, cant say enough how enjoyable and informative she made it – so thank you very much!!! "
