Dominic Cotrone found modest success during his freshman year at Florida State. Playing mostly doubles Cotrone only cracked the singles lineup six times.
"The summer before my freshman year I had some back issues so we definitely wanted to ease into," Cotrone said. "Looking back on it, it definitely gave me a springboard into my sophomore year so I wouldn't change anything."
Motivated by wanting more from his career Cotrone set his goals high for his sophomore campaign and got started on the right foot winning a junior tournament during the summer.
"Not only did he win the tournament, but he had the pressure of playing younger guys," head coach Dwayne Hultquist said. "Then he followed it up and went to National Clay Courts and got third-place in the doubles so he really had a great summer."
"I knew I was going to have some added pressure because I was going back and playing the juniors," Cotrone said. "But I knew if I played to the caliber of tennis that I wanted to that I would come out on top and that's what happened."
Cotrone kept the momentum going during the fall season earning 10 wins, good enough for the coaches to award him the number one spot in the lineup.
"I was really excited," Cotrone said. "I was really hoping that would be the case and that I could really test myself and see how I stacked up against the best players in the nation."
"He handles pace well," Hultquist said. " So people who play big and hit the ball well, he can hit it back hard on them. He has athleticism around the net to finish and he's got a good serve and a great return of serve. I think that's maybe one of his biggest strengths so those are all key ingredients to be able to do that.
The move has paid off for the Seminoles with the Bradenton, Fla., native owning a 10-1 record against each opponents best player.
"It's great for the team," sophomore Benjamin Lock said. "It gives everyone else on the team inspiration showing on court one, the hardest spot, someone's doing really well. It really inspires everyone else playing around them."
Despite a spring full of tough matches, Cotrone looks forward to the opportunity to play against he best each time he steps on the court.
"I'm just looking forward to seeing where I stack up," Cotrone said. "I know I'm young and a lot of these guys are going to be older than me so I'm just trying to go into the match with my head up and just know that there's no pressure and technically on paper I'm supposed to lose because I'm the underdog and that just fires me up and I just want to see if I can take out some of the top guys."
Now the question is whether Cotrone can turn this season's success into something greater, which would only mean good things for the Seminole tennis program.

Lazy Days
Oh man, do you guys want to kill me yet? Sorry about the ridiculous lack of updates. I've been so uninspired lately, mostly because of things going on in my personal life. Depression is not fun, and usually leads to a lack of interest in things (including fashion, considering I typically spend my days laying around in sweat pants and t-shirts). Not to worry, I'm working on getting back to the old me; updating YFF regularly is now on my list of New Year's Resolutions (because obviously that makes it official). Believe it or not, I actually dragged myself out of bed last night to meet up with a friend, which forced me to wear real clothes:

You think finding cute plus-sized clothing is hard in America? Try looking fashionable and trendy in countries where they don't offer half of the options we have here! But it's definitely not impossible; Meet Emily, a Canadian fashionista who proves that you can look great no matter where you're from. Her bold wardrobe and distinct personal style are totally inspirational. I've never seen the color red look so good.
Name: Emily B.
Age: 27
Location: Near Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Size: 20
Favorite Places to Shop: Canada is really limited when it comes to shopping for younger/trendier plus-sized clothes (which is why shopping in America is such a dream). I pretty much keep to Old Navy, thrifting, and buying stuff online.
Fashion Icons: Adele, Beth Ditto, early 90's Courtney Love
Current Obsession: Plaid, Paisley, and Stevie Nicks
Advice to other YFF Girls: Fat girls are often told to avoid certain colors, patterns, and prints. Don't listen to any of that. I think the most interesting outfits come from combining all of these things--the more creative and colorful, the better!
Want to be featured on YFF? Send an email to email@example.com with a picture of yourself in your favorite outfit. You might be chosen next!

Sequined Sentiment
I have only one thing to say, and that is: I. Love. Sequins.
I seriously can't get enough. Have you ever loved something, gotten sick of it, and then loved it again? That is my relationship with sequins. I think it has something to do with the holidays. As New Year's Eve approaches every year, I suddenly fall back in love with the stuff. Some people think it's tacky, but hey, I've never been one to deny my adoration of gaudy shit. Anyway, the two things on my wishlist right now are a black sequin mini skirt and a black sequin oversized jacket (no, they should not be worn together). I know, I know, part of me wonders if I am channeling my inner-Michael Jackson, (is it bad that I would totally rock a silver sequin glove?)
Aside from ebay, which is pretty hit or miss, I cannot seem to find what I am looking for in plus-sizes, and it is killing me softly. So I am enlisting you, dear readers. Let me know if you come across either of my two lusted after items, and I will be forever indebted to you. Plus, then we can all celebrate together by having one big (sparkly) party. See? Win-win.

LYNDEN One block of 1st Street had to be evacuated for about two hours Monday morning, March 31, after construction crews working on an apartment complex nicked a gas line and caused a leak, according to city officials.
A worker operating equipment at an apartment complex under construction hit a steel 2-inch gas line at about 10:45 a.m., City Administrator Mike Martin said. The leak forced the evacuation of about two dozen homes and businesses on 1st between Front and Grover streets and closed the road.
Cascade Natural Gas completed repairs on the line by 1 p.m.

Featuring Ann McGovern - Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection
You can improve your soil while getting rid of nearly half of your household garbage by composting. Compost is the basis for healthy soil. Healthy soil grows healthy lawns and gardens without the need for pesticides or chemical fertilizers. You can have a beautiful yard without using chemicals that can harm children, pets and the environment. Learn how to turn coffee grounds, tea bags, fruit and vegetable scraps, egg shells, yard waste and even paper towels into black gold that will transform your soil into rich, fertile earth. This workshop covers easy composting methods, different types of bins, indoor worm composting for apartment-dwellers, and how compost can eliminate the need for chemical fertilizers and pesticides in your yard and garden.
Ann McGovern is the Consumer Waste Reduction Coordinator and composting outreach specialist for the Massachusetts Department of Environmental Protection. She coordinates Massachusetts' home composting education program and compost bin grant program, through which over 110,000 compost bins have been distributed to the public. She has taught the composting session for the Northeast Organic Farmers Association (NOFA) Organic Landcare Certification Course since 2003, and for the Mass. Horticultural Society's Master Gardener Training program since 1994. In March 2005, the PBS show "Ask This Old House" featured Ann as guest expert in a home composting segment. Ann is an avid gardener and finds most enjoyment when nature thrives in her small suburban lot. Ann is a graduate of the University of Vermont in Environmental Studies and has done postgraduate work in Soil Science at the University of Massachusetts, Amherst. She has worked for DEP since 1989.
Presentations will begin at 7pm and go until all questions are answered. The classes are priced at $12 for members and $15 for non-members unless otherwise indicated. There is no need to pre-register and you may pay at the class.


text: Several weeks ago, I stated that the Spurs wouldn't really face any real competition until they reached the Western Conference Finals. Well, boys & girls, I was right (for a change). I can't even remember when this team lost TWO games in a row. Road or no road...playoffs or no playoffs. Credit the Thunder for making this a series instead of rolling over & giving up (not that any of us really expected them to). Now I may be guilty of wishful thinking, but I believe in this team. And, I believe in Pop to get them ready to face the Thunder again on Monday. It would take more faith for me to believe that the Thunder are going to win TWO more games from us...than to believe that the Spurs will wake up...and man up...and close this thing out. You see, I've seen this movie before, and more often than not...I know how it ends...and it involves a River Parade!! GO SPURS GO!! (You got this, boys!!)

Winter is coming back to Las Vegas in a major way over the next several days.
While the wind has died down, freeze warnings will be in effect for Friday night as temperatures will drop into the 20s.
Some of the worst to suffer in the elements were those waiting for a bus.
"I'm used to (the cold), but I don't like it," said Karonna Wheeler, waiting at a bus stop near Sunset and Eastern. "I came here because of the warm climate, and I got shocked."
While the Las Vegas climate is better than Wheeler's home of Ohio, she still prepares the same way.
"I have on a couple different layers. I have thermals and three different shirts and a jacket and hat," said Wheeler.
Many locals have to work outside in cold and windy conditions. FOX5 couldn't gauge how Rob Cec felt about it.
"We don't have snow out here, not usually," said Cec.
FOX5 asked if that put a smile on his face.
"Sure," Cec said, smirking.
As daylight turned to dusk and ominous clouds rolled in Thursday night, the park at Mountains' Edge had one lonely soul, Amanda Kraft, running.
"I don't get quite as sweaty," Kraft said of the cold weather. "But it's wonderful to run out here."

A vibrant and eclectic collection from a stunningly mature young poet "The world—the time has come to say it, though the news will not be welcome to everyone—has no intention of abandoning enchantment altogether." Roberto Calasso's words in Literature and the Gods remind us that, in an age of reason, of mechanization, of alienation, of rote drudgery, we still seek out the transcendent, the marvelous. Ange Mlinko's luminous fourth collection is both a journey toward and the space of that very enchantment. Marvelous Things Overheard takes its title from a collection of ancient rumors about the lands of the Mediterranean. Mlinko, who lived at the American University of Beirut and traveled to Greece and Cyprus, has penned poems that seesaw between the life lived in those ancient and strife-torn places, and the life imagined through its literature: from The Greek Anthology to the Mu'allaqat. Throughout, Mlinko grapples with the passage of time on two levels: her own aging (alongside the growing up of her children) and the incontrovertible evidence of millennia of human habitation. This is an assured and revealing collection, one that readers will want to seek refuge in again and again.

Praise for Marvelous Things Overheard
Selected by The New Yorker's Dan Chiasson as one of the Best Books of 2013"It's hard not to fall in love with a poet who can turn the lost colony of Roanoke and the Dutch tulipomania bubble of the 1630s into forgotten fairy tales . . . Even an excess of charm can't diminish the ravishing intelligence of this fervent, loose-limbed, sprightly book." —William Logan, The New Criterion"The merely competent should study Mlinko's work with envy. It's as alive to sound as to social complexity. . . You hear Paul Muldoon, Marianne Moore, Elizabeth Bishop and Wallace Stevens in her poems, but as raw material transformed into something more than an amalgam of influence." —Michael Robbins, The Chicago Tribune
"The poems in Marvelous Things Overheard have something in common with those film sequences that begin with an amoeba, and then pull quickly back until you see all of New York City, and then the earth, and then the solar system, and then the Milky Way. They reveal the connections between seemingly unlike things. The poems also posit these as "human" connections, inasmuch as the history of any one of us depends on the history of all of us. . . . Myths, Greek and otherwise, represent attempts to make sense of the senseless through story-telling, to create contexts for the world's otherwise disparate (and uncaring) mess of facts. Mlinko's poetry at once resists and takes part in this anxious embroidery, in the very human need to take each marvelous thing in turn, and try to bind them all together." —Maureen Thorson, Open Letters Monthly"Here are marvels, mysteries, melancholia; here are New World cicadas, Cypriot potatoes, kiddie boats, the Mediterranean; here is a glorious babble of tongues sung through. Mlinko has a mythy, musical mind. A sensuous intelligence threads us through a glittering word-hoard, its mind-shield. Mlinko writes a sumptuous, surprising, highwire poetry. Its neo-Elizabethan dazzle directs us to the core of our lives as animals of and in language, 'evolving / only toward more feeling.' This book is an astonishment." —Maureen N. McLane, author of My Poets and World EnoughPraise for Starred Wire"A fine-grained light like that of a nineteenth-century Danish landscape painting shimmers throughout these gorgeously tactile and tactful poems." —John Ashbery
Ange Mlinko & Christopher Richards | Work in ProgressPoet Ange Mlinko has been praised by The New Yorker for writing "intoxicating, cerebral poems [that] display a unique sense of humor and mystery." She recently caught up with FSG's Christopher Richards to discuss storytelling, advice for young poets, and just why aging for a poet is like tuberculosis for Keats.- FSG's Work in Progress
Ange Mlinko was born in Philadelphia in 1969. Educated at St. John's College and Brown University, she has lived most of her adult life in New York, and also spent time in Ifrane, Morocco, and Beirut, Lebanon. Mlinko's previous books include Matinées, Starred Wire, and Shoulder Season. She has received the Poetry Foundation's Randall Jarrell Award in Criticism, and is currently teaching in the University of Houston's Creative Writing Program. She lives in Houston with her husband and two children.

Perth Glory is delighted to announce the signing of 19-year-old rising star Jamie Maclaren.The gifted attacker was one of Australia's stand-outs during last month's Under-20 FIFA World Cup, scoring a stunning goal against Turkey and having opted to end his four-year spell with English club Blackburn Rovers, rejected overtures from a host of top European and Australian clubs to pen a three-year deal with Glory.
"I'm thrilled to be joining Perth Glory for the next three years.," he said."I learnt a lot in England, but ultimately, at this stage of my career, I'd love the opportunity to be playing regular first team football."Alistair Edwards was a major factor in my decision to join Perth and I believe he'll help develop my football at club level which will hopefully allow me to fulfil my ambition to keep progressing through the national team setup."I've got plenty of hard work ahead of me and now I'm looking forward to meeting my new teammates and beginning pre-season."
Originally from Melbourne, Maclaren featured for local clubs Sunbury United and Green Gully, along with the Victorian Institute of Sport before joining then-Premier League side Blackburn Rovers in 2009 at the tender age of 15.He subsequently topped the goalscoring charts for the Ewood Park club's Academy side last season, while at international level, he debuted in last year's Under-19 AFC Championship Qualifiers and bagged a memorable hat-trick against Indonesia.It was those impressive efforts within the Australia set-up that brought him to the attentions of Alistair Edwards and Glory's Head Coach believes that the capture of the dynamic young attacker is a genuine coup for the club.
"I'm absolutely delighted that Jamie has chosen to sign for Perth Glory," said Edwards."He had a host of clubs interested in him, but he clearly feels that he can progress with us and his signing is another clear indication that our club is establishing itself as a place where the best young Australian talent will be given the opportunity to play regular first team football and develop."Anyone who watched Australia in the Under-20 World Cup would have been hugely impressed by Jamie's performances."He's equally comfortable playing in a central position or out wide and I'm sure he'll prove to be a major asset for Perth Glory going forward."
Maclaren is expected to arrive in Perth in July 15th and then join the rest of the squad for their pre-season tour of South Africa.

Valeskca recently asked me if I would contribute to her blog from "his" perspective. After looking around on-line for a bit, I realized there really isn't much out there by way of advice for the guy about to walk down the aisle, so I've decided to share my two bits…
I was once abducted by a team of international spies (for no apparent reason, really), and I was tortured for what seemed like weeks… Fortunately my years of psychological resiliency training paid off, and I survived the ordeal, mostly unscathed. Part of their evil tactic was to force me to watch America's Next Top Model; a whole season's worth…. Little did they know, I had already watched it (forced by my wife, of course ;) )! As some guys may already know, the show is full of useful tips and advice for the man that will soon find himself at the glassy end of a wedding photographer's camera…
Now, as you may have already figured out, your bride-to-be probably spent her early years pretending to be a princess, her teen years followed with her practicing her kick ass poses, embracing the idea that she was just one mall trip away from becoming a famous model/signer/actress. She rehearsed for mock interviews and recited her acceptance speech for the Oscar's in front of her bedroom mirror, clutching her hand-painted, gold trophy made from an empty roll of paper towel. By now, she knows her best angles, she is cognoscente of her hottest features and she knows exactly how to stand to hide whatever it is she hates about herself!
In comparison, your years of playing in the mud, perfecting armpit farts and generally goofing off left you unprepared to look you best on your big day. Trust me pal, you do not want to be the weak link bringing down the couple on your wedding day, not to mention that oh so very expensive wedding album you just agreed you absolutely needed!
It's the light stupid…
75% of a photographer's job is to understand and work with light. Your wedding photographer could probably help you out with posing ideas, but you should probably do your homework and understand at least a little so you don't look like an uncomfortable oaf when it's time to strike a pose. It's even more important to understand light if you decide to hire cousin Sally, who's insisted she can shoot your wedding day, since she just bought a new "fancy camera"… that is, just as soon as she figures out how to turn it on!
First off, pray for a cloudy day. Clouds diffuse the light so it comes from everywhere as oppose to one tiny bright yellow orb in the clear blue sky. This is why shadows on an overcast day are barely perceptible, not to mention why you big nose doesn't cast a dark streak across you face.
Should your big day be a bright one, beware of a few things, if the sun is behind you, you would hope to see your photographer using a BIG flash. This will illuminate your face so it does not look like a dark shadow of unknown ethnic origin against a washed background.
The opposite problem occurs when the sun lights you straight on. Your face will be well lit but every crows feet line will appear in full bloom as you squint against the glare. Arguably, on such days, your pictures should be taken in the shade of a large tree so the camera feeds on ambient light as opposed to full sunlight. Again, even if it sounds counterintuitive, you would hope to see your photographer using a flash on these sunny days.
Tyra Banks always gives the same advice to all of her would-be models. Seek the light like a moth! As you may already know, the best way to inspect your car, after lending it to a careless friend, is to bring your eye close to the surface and look down the length of the car. At such an angle, all flaws will be easily spotted. When your picture is taken, you should face the main source of light as much as possible. Your nose won't cast a shadow; your wrinkles will not be as visible. You will look better, period.
Now, I don't know how you plan to dress, whether you intend to splurge on a fancy tux or go casual, but all guys should know that posture is key. Good posture will actually make you taller, you will look more confident, and dare I say, more powerful. 90% of people are slouchers; chances are you are too! Stand back up against the wall with you head touching it. Next bring your shoulder blades together and look at yourself. Wow, you look like you could be the CEO of Budweiser or something. Practice your posture every time you walk through a doorway until it becomes a permanent habit. Don't worry, you can let yourself go again after the wedding. While we are on the posture thing, it is believed that men look better when their head is tilted up slightly and women look better with a slight downward tilt. It is great if you photographer is shorter than you, but if it is not the case, bring your nose up just a bit; think "snooty French sommelier". Don't exaggerate and practice in front of the mirror when there is no one at home.
Tyra always tell her girls to smize!!! WT… ! This is supposed to mean smile with your eyes. If you manage to pull this off, please send me a picture.
Don't forget to cheat! Look in men's fashion magazines and study how the good-looking people stand, sit and walk. Be observant, look at feet position, do their bodies lean forward or back? Are their feet parallel or skewed? What do they do with their hands?
Elbows in or out? While I know the answers, it will be far more useful on your wedding day if you go through the exercise yourself.
Lastly, make up for men…just kidding. Wash your face and apply some face moisturizer. The good stuff is just around 45 bucks, but it is money well spent if you are over 30. 9$ will get you an electric nose hair trimmer – with digital photography what it is today, you can zoom in on everything… just saying…
At the end of the day, enjoy yourself and have the confidence to realize she's chosen to marry you…

Lone Star celebration
SAN ANGELO, Texas - A white, lone star in a field of blue and bars of white and red adorned dresses, low-heeled shoes and flags that softly drifted on smoke-filled air.
During the Republic of Texas Independence Day Celebration on Saturday, sounds of harmonicas, guitars and Texas-twang sounded from El Paseo de Santa Angela to the Farmers Market Pavilion.
The two-day cookout — which featured a car show, a stream of live entertainers and vendor booths — wrapped up Saturday evening with a finale of judging over the variety of contests.
Volunteer judges sampled beans, ribs, brisket and barbecue chicken from the dozens of teams that hailed from across the state.

According to a report obtained by the National Review, government regulatory agencies produce another regulation, on average, every two hours – which, if the pace is kept through the end of 2013, puts the number of new regulations at more than 3,600.
"They have no incentives to even make sure that these regulations are needed, appropriately addressing a problem, or not causing more harm than good. The result is more and more regulations," wrote the National Review.
According to the report obtained by the National Review:
- Last week, 66 new final regulations were published in theFederal Register. There were 78 new final rules the previous week.
- That's the equivalent of a new regulation every two hours and 33 minutes.
- All in all, 3,186 final rules have been published in the Federal Register this year.
- If this keeps up, the total tally for 2013 will be 3,604 new final rules.
- Last week, 1,689 new pages were added to the 2013 Federal Register, for a total of 68,313 pages.
- At its current pace, the 2013 Federal Register will run 77,278 pages, which would be good for fifth all time. The current record is 81,405 pages, set in 2010.
- Rules are called "economically significant" if they have costs of $100 million or more in a given year. No such rules were published last week, keeping the total at 35 so far in 2013.
- The total estimated compliance costs of this year's economically significant regulations ranges from $6.42 billion to $11.82 billion.
- So far, 289 final rules that meet the broader definition of "significant" have been published in 2013.
- So far this year, 629 final rules affect small business; 86 of them are significant rules

I live in Redskins territory now, and the Post is so bad, that when there isn't enough Redskins news, they sometimes combine the Sports and want-ads. Really. But at least they are willing to take the Redskins to taks for their failuresl, and try to hold them accountable to the fans.

Visitors to Chino Hills State Park have some unusual companions on hiking trails: feral cows. The cattle don't seem to be afraid of humans, so rangers are afraid that someone could be hurt or killed by the herd. Kim Baldonado reports for the NBC4 news at 5 p.m. on Oct. 23, 2013.
Cowboys are being called to lasso a herd of wild cattle that are frightening – and potentially threatening – visitors at a Southern California park.
"It's a very tricky thing to deal with," said Kelly Elliot, superintendent at Chino Hills State Park.
With a limited budget to solve the problem, the park is now reaching out to cowboys who are willing to wrangle the wild cattle for free.
Visitors have posted sightings and photos of the feral cows on the park's Facebook. Several said they have had close calls with a wild bull, including hiker Ed Loritz.
"He was staring at me and he stared me down," Loritz said. "He had a look in his eye that he wanted to get a piece of me."
Mountain biker Rob Moore saw several wild cows on Wednesday, about 4 miles into his trail at the same spot where other visitors reported sightings.
"They were upsetting a lot of people in the park. The bull especially was scaring a lot of riders, afraid they were going to get charged," Moore said.
The 14,000-acre park at the intersection of Los Angeles, Orange, Riverside and San Bernardino counties is in a region with a long history of cattle grazing.
Some of the bovines knock down fences to get to greener pastures, but others were bred in the park and are wild.
"Ones that have never been handled by humans are a little more aggressive," Elliot said.

Unleash Your Inner Networker
Tips for networking in person, because socializing online doesn't replace a handshake and a smile.
Success in networking requires you to unleash a part of yourself—the part keeping you at home when you should be out and about. That social trait could be hurting you professionally, even if you don't realize it.
But why does in-person networking matter? Can't we just stay home and meet people by phone, e-mail, and online? Isn't it easier and more modern to network that way?
It's true that you can meet a lot of people online. You can even build social credibility before attending an event. But online networking is no replacement for a handshake and a smile.
Here are the most common negative factors that hold us back from networking in person:
Lack of purpose. Maybe you're employed and don't see yourself losing your job anytime soon. Or you could be unemployed, but simply attend whatever event shows up on your calendar. In both cases, social networking may seem like a lot of work with little return.
[See 20 Ways to Stay Motivated During Your Job Search.]
Foolish pride. You have a purpose and a need but don't see yourself as one of those needy people who attend networking events. Does wearing a sticker with your name on it and meeting a bunch of strangers sound below you?
Fear of rejection. Entering a highly social environment means you're allowing others to judge you and determine whether you're worthy of their time. It also means you'll likely face a bunch of questions you may not be comfortable answering.
Ignorance about how it works. You don't know what to wear, or whether it's OK to have a drink. And you can't quite figure out who you are supposed to introduce yourself to. And where should you put the nametag again?
Negative mindset. Maybe you had a bad layoff, a bad experience at a prior event, or simply don't believe you're interesting enough for other people to want to talk to. If you have a sour feeling in your stomach, it's likely to show.
[See Latest in Career Networking: Network Roulette.]
To unleash your inner networker, try these solutions to the negative factors described above:
Figure out your networking type. Both you and the people you meet have your own unique way of getting to know others. Understand your own career networking tendencies, and you're more likely to succeed in the networking environment.
Network with a purpose. If networking seems inefficient, build a plan. Identify what you're looking for: a new job, for example, or other job-search objectives. Once you know your objectives, use social networking to achieve them by identifying specific people you want to meet, looking into where they network, and figuring out a plan for how to meet them.
Change the way you view the world. The world is full of strangers you haven't met yet. If you truly believe this, your view of networking will change. You'll start looking for consistencies and similarities rather than differences. And you'll begin to enjoy the process of meeting new people.
Use rejection as a step toward success. Not every social interaction will go well, of course. We've all experienced some failure while networking, but that's the only way you'll experience success. Put yourself at some risk each and every time you head out to an event, and you'll see results.
Ask great questions. Ignorance is hard to justify because you learn so much by asking questions. If you're unsure how to act or dress at a networking event, ask a friend. Or e-mail the organizer in advance. Another idea? Show up early, introduce yourself, and get settled.
[For more career advice, visit U.S. News Careers, or find us on Facebook or Twitter.]
Find a happy place. Your positive attitude matters when networking. While people feel empathy if you appear down, they'll be more likely to help you if you're positive and able to help yourself first. So find a happy memory or big victory to focus on as you enter the room. Start positive, and you'll be more likely to feel positive throughout the event.
So figure out what's keeping you home, use these simple fixes to unleash your inner networker, and enjoy those social successes.
What's holding you back from attending in-person networking events?

The wars so far…
Further to our Sylph WarDec of a few days ago, Goonswarm decided to 'dec us. They had finished with Kenzoku (used to be Band of Brothers), and Kenzoku had withdrawn to Empire to decide their next move. You need to keep 5426 pilots occupied, and they 'decced a few other alliances beside us. Just to complete the trinity, we decced Fidelis Constans (FCON), another Providence dweller under CVA's protective umbrella.
The wars have gone well, our killboard shows a healthy ratio of ISK killed to ISK lost. Sometimes Sylph and FCON team up with a large fleet and come into Empire where they can legally shoot us, but we are used to avoiding large fleets and have eyes all over the place, so losses have been minimal to these large fleets.
As for Goonswarm, we have lost more ships than killed at the moment, but have killed more in ISK. I suspect this is due to us using T1 ships against T2 ships in those instances. Goonswarm have a lot on their plate at the moment with empire wars, so we aren't seeing a lot of them unless we venture down to Agil, or other trade hubs.
I have been ship loss free, until yesterday when I lost my Taranis. I try not to get attached to ships, but this 'ranis had been involved in a lot of kills over the week. At least it went down fighting.
I had just been made aware of a Typhoon and Rapier in Shintaht on the H6- gate, by Rye Contini. He had scuffled with them but got away. He would warp back and make them engage him while we mustered in H6. There wasn't many of us, and we were mainly in small ships. While we gathered a handful of ships, a Typhoon and Arbitrator joined the Rapier. We could still take them providing we took the Rapier out quick-sharp. They aggressed Rye, we jumped in. Conlin was in a Rapier also, so if I did get webbed, I'd MWD like hell- the Rapier would be webbed in return and I'd manage to burn out of his range before I died (hopefully!).
Shintaht appeared to me, I wasted no time getting into close orbit on the Rapier, ejecting drones and laying into him, afterburner blazing…waiting for the webs. The Arbitrator jumped out, but the Typhoon weighed in with his drones. The Rapier's shields collapsed and he went down very quickly to the torpedoes of the SBs we had with us, and we quickly switched to the Typhoon, allowing the Rapier's pod to escape.
It seems that Rye was soaking up most of the incoming fire in his Jaguar, including from the Sanshas on the gate. The overview showed a bomb launched, which confused me momentarily, then I realised it was one of ours- uh oh. "BOMB BOMB BOMB" I shouted over comms, but I knew I'd be OK. My AB was on, not MWD, so my speed was high and I'm a small target…. it still wiped my shields out. I saw a blue flash, and my heart sank- it was Rye's Jaguar. The small damage he took from the bomb was enough to finish off his smashed up ship.
The Typhoon had taken full damage from the bomb, buckling his armour and the ship's reactor went up in a massive explosion . The bomber pilot apologised profusely, he hadn't meant to fire off the bomb. He settled things with Rye via a quick ISK transfer.
The gang spread out, and I made my way back to Y-M where most of the action generally was. As I materialised in Y-M, there was a Malediction on the gate, quickly joined by a Jaguar. OK, I can take the Mala quickly, then i'll see what happens with the Jag. The Mala was only 10km away, so I decloaked, orbitted and scrammed, drones and guns. He was getting chewed up immediately, but then a Rapier either decloaked or warped in… followed by another. I was webbed to a crawl. Oh crap. OK, I was going down, but I'd try to take the Mala with me. It went into structure as I (again) forgot to overheat my guns, but then my ship was shot out from under me. I quickly got my pod out to the Kari gate and into Esa.
Time for a new Taranis… or maybe something else…

Guardian Camera Club: Gemma Pepper on self portraiture
The high key light and low contrast black & white tonality of 'The Answer' sets a suitably introspective feel for this set. 'Waiting for' trades sharpness for evocative blur, creating a romantic feel; the impressionistic 'Fading Away' takes this even further, and it's a beautiful photo. 'Self Study' moves us into colour, and maybe it's this that makes it seem more human, and less remote. 'Pussy Willow' is really too similar to (and less good than) 'Waiting for'; 'Self with Zenit-B' is that old cliché, 'photographer with camera in mirror'. Nonetheless, this is an original and engaging set

Bloggers to invade the state Legislature. Ignore them!
From Middle TN blogger Bill Hobbs: The Tennessee House Republican Caucus is inviting all Tennessee political bloggers to a caucus-sponsored "Blogger Day On The Hill" at Legislative Plaza in Nashville on March 26th and 27th (Yes, Blogger Day On The Hill" is spread over two days, the way Hecht's department store used to have Saturday "one-day sales" with a preview day Friday.) The event, hosted by House Minority Leader Jason Mumpower and organized by the House GOP caucus' press secretary Kara Watkins, is indeed open to all Tennessee bloggers regardless of political affiliation. I have uploaded a PDF of the invite and schedule. You'll notice I highlighted some of the events in yellow. Those are events that bloggers can go to anytime, without an invite. Perhaps after Blogger Day On The Hill, more will.
Well, well. So a few computer geeks in their pajamas are going to invade the state's Capital. I'm sure that has legislators shaking in their boots. As a veteran blogger and follower of blogs, here's my advice to lawmakers:
* Ignore the pixelettes and stick with us professional print people. Really, there's no downside to ignoring the keyboard crazies.
* Another reason to stick with us is the fact we have a stranglehold on the market.
* If you are attacked by these wired wussies, don't respond. They'll go away. Just ask Nick Coleman.
* And go ahead and push this legislation. Nobody is paying attention to that anyway.
Please, lawmakers, heed my advice, which I am not suggesting just for my own entertainment purposes.
UPDATE: See legislators. I told you: The blogosphere is the blogosphere. You'll never please everyone. Plus, there's some sort of hissy fit going on and some may not even go.
UPDATE II: They are arguing even before they get there: So all bloggers--even the libertarian ones--are now invited to participate in the viewing of our democratic processes. Woot.
There are a few serious journalists among us who seem to be of the opinion that this is our own little Schoolhouse Rock whereby we learn the workings of how a bill becomes a law, how to shake hands and write dry reports about drier goings-on.
In case you hadn't noticed, I am not a journalist. Sometimes I'm serious, sometimes I'm not. So while I appreciate the advice from Bill Hobbs, I'd like to point out a couple of things.
See legislators. Just ignore them. They are too busy disagreeing with one another.
If you do go, here's some good advice: I disagree wholeheartedly. Bloggers, you write about whatever you want to write about. Donuts, meetings, impressions, whatever. You have no editor. Use that to your advantage. Talk about elements of the day that are personal to you. Write about your interpersonal experiences. Don't kowtow to what online magazine writers think you should say. Make your post your own. Rules are made to be broken. Cover your government in new and interesting ways and you'll see more readers than you ever imagined. Your personal voice is what makes most blogging great.
heh heh. the header on this post reminds me of a very funny episode of The Venture Brothers on Adlut Swim, where an alien called the Grand Inquisitor, sent to observe all the goings-on of humanity keeps bellowing "IGNORE ME!" to all who see him.
"Grand Inquisitor: [inside the X-1] Hello? Anyone? Okay, the Grand Galactic Inquisitor is coming out. But you are to continue to ignore me! Okay? ... Alright, I'm taking that as a yes."
that's "Adult Swim" ... er, or it should be. just ignore me ....

SHC At-A-Glance
Financial Aid/Scholarships
At SHC, it is our mission to provide a rigorous, Catholic education to students of all economic backgrounds. In 2011-2012, we distributed $2.35 million to approximately 300 families.
College Attendance
Throughout their four years at SHC, the Class of 2012 served as excellent leaders who leave with much to be admired. Guiding the student body as extraordinarily gifted scholars, leaders and student-athletes, 100% of our graduates will attend the college or university of their choice. More than 326 colleges and universities nationwide offered acceptance to our students, including UC Berkeley, Stanford and Georgetown.
In the Classroom
Our 75-minute block schedule immerses students in project-based, collaborative learning while facilitating students' self-direction, problem solving skills, and effective use of technology. SHC faculty design lessons which prompt creativity and critical thinking, and which result in authentic and relevant assessment.
Approximately 100 lay teachers, plus three Christian Brothers and one Daughter of Charity, comprise the professional staff. In addition to bachelor's degrees and teaching credentials, five faculty members hold doctorates and 80 hold master's degrees.
Community Life
Our students are actively involved in 29 clubs that engage them to serve in our local community as well as internationally. Club members have the opportunity to travel to Italy, London, Japan, Costa Rica and other locations. Other trips involve service immersion where students rebuild homes, plant crops and clean neighborhoods in locations such as New Orleans, Salinas, Mexico and Montana. Students prepare for such service by attending retreats and prayer services, where they learn how to connect with themselves and God.
Over 650 student-athletes compete each year on 52 teams in 22 different sports. In the past seven years, 112 student-athletes received scholarships to the college of their choice and 29 students received full athletic scholarships. The Fightin' Irish have won more league, section, Northern California and state titles in the last decade than in the previous three decades combined, including a school record of five CCS titles in 2011-2012.
State-of-the-Art Campus
Fitness Center
Featuring more than 50 machines and benches, including treadmills, DanceDanceRevolution, elliptical machines, stationary bikes, Wii Fit, stair-climbers, rowers, weight benches, free weights and a whole range of other fitness and exercise equipment—many of which are equipped with personal cable TVs—the Fitness Center has everything our community members need to pursue their fitness goals. The spacious Fitness Center sprawls over 4,500 square feet, including the Timothy Baptista '99 Strength Training Area, and an 800-square-foot dance studio complete with hardwood floors, mirrored walls and barres.
Sister Caroline Collins, DC, Theater

With a ceiling height of 33 feet, the space provides performers and technical crew with an above-stage tension grid, catwalks and a professional sound and lighting control room. There are dressing rooms, storage space and a workshop for building and transporting sets. The generous, light-filled William D. Spencer '65 & Claire Spencer Lobby also serves as a gallery to display student artwork and photography.

July 18, 1985 -- The Buffalo Bills had a big problem in the summer of 1985. They didn't really have a capable starting quarterback. Want proof? Joe Ferguson was coming off a season in which the Bills won one of 11 of his starts, and was traded to Detroit. Joe Dufek wasn't much better at 1-4. Matt Kofler didn't seem to be the answer.
A bold move was needed, and the Bills made one.
They sent tight end Tony Hunter, a former first-round draft choice and considered at the time a sure bet to be the best tight end in franchise history, to the Los Angeles Rams for quarterback Vince Ferragamo. The Rams also gave up a draft pick in the transaction.
Ferragamo was best remembered for leading the Rams to the Super Bowl in 1980; Los Angeles lost a good game to Pittsburgh. But Ferragamo had lost his starting job, and the Rams were bringing in Dieter Brock -- remember him? -- from the Canadian Football League. So Ferragamo needed a landing spot.
This was a rather big deal at the time, but it turned out to be something of a dud for both sides. Ferragamo didn't do much for the Bills (five touchdown passes and 17 interceptions in one season), and the team eventually signed Jim Kelly to be their quarterback of the future. You'd have to say that turned out to be the correct move.
Hunter, meanwhile, never lived up to his promise. He made 50 catches for the Rams in 1985, but was down to 15 in 1986 and never played in the NFL again.

Any parent who has raised a bullied child understands that feeling of waiting for the other shoe to drop—anticipating another moment when our child might walk through the door unhappy, or in tears. We send them off to school, telling them it will be OK—to have a good attitude—but we may be just as concerned as they are that it will happen again. Although I encourage my children to think positively, I still secretly worry about them.
Once bitten, twice shy.
But I've spent a good deal of time and energy creating ways to handle the challenges of bullying behavior and encouraging others to do the same. I've watched children make an effort to change, and the truth is, I've felt a shift in the way people are dealing with bullying behavior.
Denying it exists is no longer acceptable. We're making progress.
But as my children started this school year, I must admit, I had my uneasy moments. I went out of my way to make sure to set an example and hopped into my own , in hopes of leading the way, so they could learn to .
Most importantly, I had to trust that I'd given them the tools they'd need to handle any situation if and when it arose. Just like when they learned to ride a bike, it was time to stand back and let them pedal off on their own—and maybe even take a fall or two.
The first few weeks of school passed and I was both pleasantly surprised by the lack of problems, and hesitant to celebrate—for fear I'd jinx it. Then one day my son came home and casually mentioned something about "one kid" who wasn't very nice.
There it was—the other shoe.
We talked about it for a bit and he assured me he had it all under control. He felt fine, and it was "no big deal." I didn't want to underestimate the issue, but I also didn't want to turn it into more than it was. I took a long breath, and made a mental note to keep listening.
Less than a week later, in one of our "how're things going" conversations, he filled me in on the end of the story. Without much stress, he'd gone to an authority figure he trusted, to get some assistance—just as I'd taught him to do—and the problem was resolved. The student apologized, and they'd moved on.
The other shoe had dropped and my son had stepped right over it.
All the efforts my husband and I had made to empower our son had given him the confidence to handle his problem on his own, without letting it impact his sense of self. And that had been our true goal.
We can't assure him that he'll never be treated badly in life, but we can —even if it's raining shoes.

North Jefferson News
— It's Tuesday, and we hope you aren't headed for Atlanta today…
Weather: Trouble ahead. Tuesday will be gorgeous, with highs in the lower 80s and lows in the lower 60s. Wednesday will be great most of the day, but a storm system will move in that night, possibly leading to an outbreak of severe weather on Thursday. It's too early yet to pin down just when the storms will hit, or whether tornadoes will be possible; we'll know much more Wednesday morning.
Traffic: Today is the first day that Interstate 20 will be closed for major repairs. The eastbound lanes will be closed between the I-59 junction near the airport and the I-459 interchange near Irondale. Traffic will detour onto I-59, then south on I-459 and on to Leeds and Atlanta. The process will reverse in a few months. A similar closure was done in I-20/59 through Bessemer a year ago.
Rape investigation in Fultondale. An 18-year-old girl has reported that she was raped four years ago near a trailer park on the city's northern edge. Fultondale Police will interview the victim today to get more details, but already they know that the incident took place in woods behind the 100 Oaks Trailer park. No word yet on a suspect. We'll have more on this case as it develops.
Two attempted murders in Gardendale. Police have made arrests in two cases, one involving an attempted strangulation and the other a poisoning attempt. Jeffrey Lee Morgan of Gardendale is accused of trying to strangle his victim during a domestic-violence incident, while Melissa Lauren Bryant of Altoona is charged with putting an over-the-counter eye care product in the drink of a co-worker. Both were lodged in the Jefferson County Jail in lieu of bond as of Monday afternoon.
Deaths: Margaret Thatcher, the former British prime minister who stood side by side with President Ronald Reagan to bring down communism and promote the conservative movement in the 1980s. Baroness Thatcher, the "Iron Lady," died of a stroke Monday at age 87… Annette Funicello, perhaps the best-known "Mouseketeer" on the old Mickey Mouse Club television show, and later the star of several "beach party" movies of the 1960s, died Monday at age 70. Funicello suffered from multiple sclerosis for 21 years.
Sports: Honors for Blake Byrd. The three-sport standout at Corner High was given the Ken and Betty Joy Blankenship Achievement Award, one of the top two honors for high school athletes in Alabama, at Monday's Bryant-Jordan Scholarship Banquet. Byrd will receive $8,500 in scholarship money… Baseball: If Hayden is to advance into the Class 5A playoffs, it will have to pull a rabbit out of a hat later today, after losing to Walker 12-2 in six innings on Monday. The Wildcats need to sweep a doubleheader at the Vikings' home field today to win the second berth from Area 12. Meanwhile, Gardendale put itself in good shape for a post-season spot after walloping Carver 23-1 and 18-1 in a Monday doubleheader. One win today in a twin-bill at Huffman will put the Rockets into the first round… College basketball: Louisville won the third NCAA men's championship in school history, defeating Michigan 82-76 in Atlanta. The win made Rick Pitino the first coach to lead teams from two different schools to the crown, after winning with arch-rival Kentucky in 1996. Pitino was also announced as a new inductee into the Basketball Hall of Fame on Monday. Meanwhile, the Louisville women will attempt to pull off the hoops double, as they play in their title game tonight in New Orleans. Their opponent: UConn, the only team to win both men's and women's championships in one year… College softball: Now that the Birmingham Barons have left Hoover Metropolitan Stadium, could another NCAA championship be moving in — permanently? The Tuscaloosa News reported in its Sunday edition that city officials and the Alabama Sports Foundation are trying to lure the Women's College World Series away from Oklahoma City. "The Met" played host to the NCAA Men's College Cup of soccer for the last two years.

A letter police found in Mohammed Taheri-Azar's bedroom said he wanted to kill Americans but that driving a rented sport utility vehicle through a crowded campus plaza was not his first choice.
With family members sitting behind the 22-year-old, sometimes crying on one another's shoulders, a police investigator read the typed letter during a hearing Friday in Orange County District Court.
"I would instead use a handgun to murder the citizens and residents of Chapel Hill, North Carolina, but the process of receiving a permit for a handgun in this city is highly restricted and out of my reach at present, most likely due to my foreign nationality," university police Investigator Matthew Dodson read.
So, police say, Taheri-Azar drove a silver Jeep Grand Cherokee through the crowded Pit area during lunchtime.
He hit nine people, scraping and bruising most, breaking two arms, a finger and an ankle, and giving one a black eye and some stitches, authorities say. Six people were treated for their injuries, none of them life-threatening, and three declined treatment.
Taheri-Azar never used the two cans of pepper spray and 5-inch folding knife found inside the Jeep after he called 911 to surrender a few minutes later, authorities say.
Taheri-Azar, a 2005 UNC-Chapel Hill graduate with degrees in philosophy and psychology, faces nine charges of attempted first-degree murder and another nine of felonious assault. District Court Judge Joe Buckner decided Friday that the state should pursue lesser assault charges in four of the nine cases as the case makes its way to Superior Court.
Taheri-Azar remains in Raleigh's Central Prison under $5.5 million bail.
If convicted, he could spend his life in prison -- something he has said he is prepared to do for avenging the U.S. government's treatment of Muslims.
"I do not wish to pursue my career as a student any further because I have no desires to amass the impermanent and temporary fame and material wealth that this world has to offer," Taheri-Azar wrote, in the letter police say they found on his bed in his Carrboro apartment.
"However, I made the decision to continue my studies and to graduate from the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill so that the world will know that Allah's servants are very intelligent," the letter continued.
After the two-hour probable cause hearing, Taheri-Azar's older sister read a statement beseeching the public to withhold its judgment.
Laila Taheri-Azar described her brother as a "kind, gentle and pure soul," and as someone who loved animals, fishing, camping and race cars. He wouldn't permit people to kill "a spider, a fly, a roach" in his presence.
She said Taheri-Azar, a U.S. citizen who was born in Iran, had moved to the United States with his family when he was 2. He speaks no Arabic and only rudimentary Farsi, the native language of most Iranians that is not related to Arabic.
Laila Taheri-Azar said the family condemned her brother's actions and was shocked and saddened by them. She apologized to the victims on behalf of the family.
"We beg of you not to rush to judgment," she said, adding that the family was concerned about her brother's state of mind.
She took no questions.
But to at least one of his victims, Taheri-Azar is a terrorist, "albeit a fairly unsuccessful [one]," he said in an interview. Freshman Alex Slater remembered the man slowly approaching in a silver Jeep Cherokee as the shy senior in his fall-semester English class.
A few months later, on March 3, Slater was the first person police think Taheri-Azar's rented Jeep hit. Slater testified Friday that he had just finished lunch and was heading to a Spanish class when he noticed the SUV rolling right up alongside him.
"I look at the driver, he looks at us, turns the vehicle, ... and I guess he floors it," he said.
The Jeep's tires squealed, Slater said. Slater got swiped by the driver's side mirror, and saw Taheri-Azar's face -- blank, expressionless with a slight smile -- as he accelerated toward pedestrians.
District Attorney Jim Woodall called three more witnesses to the stand to retrace Taheri-Azar's short drive through campus, ending when he turned back onto a road close to where police think he hit his ninth and final victim in a crosswalk.
During almost all of the witness testimony, Taheri-Azar read a paperback copy of the Quran he brought with him.
The FBI has been investigating the incident as a possible terrorist attack. Woodall said Friday he does not think federal officials will press charges.

The goal of the El Protector Program is to reduce the disproportionate number of Hispanic surnamed drivers and victims involved in traffic related collisions. Activities are designed to educate and encourage positive traffic safety behavior and to build better community relations between the community and law enforcement agencies.
The driving force and focus of this program is the use of a CHP officer of Hispanic ancestry or officers that are bilingual and bicultural - known as the El Protector Program Coordinator. The coordinator organizes community events, provides traffic safety education presentations and serves as a Hispanic role model.

From Staff, Wire and Online Reports
WASHINGTON D.C. – The fight over environmental regulations in Texas rang out at a congressional hearing Wednesday, with Republicans and Democrats airing sharp disagreements over the proper federal role in controlling pollution.
"The devastating impact of EPA's overreach can be felt from statehouses to farmhouses across the nation," said Rep. Lamar Smith, R-San Antonio, chairman of the House Committee on Science, Space, and Technology. "EPA's regulatory ambitions threaten states' rights and intrude on the everyday lives of our citizens."
The all-Texas panel of witnesses – most of them invited by Republicans who control the committee – largely favored an easing of federal regulations.
Texas Railroad Commissioner David Porter, Farm Bureau president Kenneth Dierschke and Commission on Environmental Quality Chairman Bryan Shaw lambasted the Environmental Protection Agency for meddling. The other two witnesses were a health scientist supporting the EPA and an economist from Southern Methodist University's Maguire Energy Institute who echoed criticism of the agency.
Porter blasted the EPA for what terms the agency's overreach in its handling of reported water contamination in a subdivision in south Parker County that began in 2010 with Steve Lipsky's complaints and lawsuit against a Fort Worth-based well drilling company.
"Nothing exemplifies the severe incompetence and blatant disregard for sound science as well as EPA's infamous mishandling of the Range Resources case in Parker County, Texas," said Porter, as reported by Texas Tribune.
The EPA issued, then later withdrew, an emergency order against Range that charged the company with contaminating two wells. An internal watchdog agency found the EPA was legally justified in its decisions on the case.
Lipsky, who on Saturday hosted an open house to make his case about his claims of high levels of gas in his well water that included a demonstration of lighting the water on fire, and "Gasland" movie director Josh Fox attended Wednesday's hearing.

Plenette Pierson scored 22 points as No. 8 Texas Tech rallied late to defeat No. 7 Kansas State, 71-65, on Thursday in the semifinals of the Big 12 Conference tournament at Dallas.
Texas Tech (25-4) trailed for most of the game, but started to come back after Kansas State center Nicole Ohlde picked up her third and fourth fouls in a four-second span. She was taken out of the game with 10:11 left and didn't return until nearly seven minutes later.

WACO, Texas (AP) — Baylor freshman quarterback Robert Griffin was still on the ground after taking a crushing blow from a blitzing linebacker when he heard the cheers.
While Griffin never saw Kendall Wright catch the ball in the back of the end zone, that was only the start of a night to savor for the Bears.
Griffin was 21-of-24 passing for 278 yards with two touchdowns to Wright, ran for another score, and Mikail Baker returned the second-half kickoff 93 yards to the end zone as the Bears beat Iowa State 38-10 Saturday night. The win ended a 13-game conference losing streak for Baylor.
"I haven't been here for the losing streak, but now it's a winning streak," Griffin said.
At this time last year, Griffin and Wright were still playing high school football. And coach Art Briles was still at Houston.
They have accomplished in only two games what the Bears hadn't done in two years, since October 2006, by winning a conference game.
"I didn't know anything about it," Wright said.
Senior cornerback Dwain Crawford certainly did.
"We've got a new foundation and are working toward the right thing," Crawford said. "It's good to go out and get that losing streak out of the way. ... Hopefully it will carry us through the Big 12 season."
A week after losing to No. 1 Oklahoma in their Big 12 opener, the Bears (3-3, 1-1 Big 12) never trailed Iowa State.
On fourth-and-12 from the Iowa State 34 in the first quarter, with linebacker Jesse Smith charging toward him, Griffin released the pass just before being slammed hard to the ground. But Griffin's high-arching pass dropped into Wright's arms in the back of the end zone.
The officials used replay to confirm Baylor's first score, when Wright secured the ball while falling and landed with his knee just inbound.

- Cyclones come up short Cody Hawkins resigned himself to a day spent on the sideline, watching the new kid command Colorado.
- Drake edges Morehead State Cole Ingle threw for 196 yards and two touchdowns and the defense forced three turnovers and recorded a safety as Drake beat Morehead State Saturday 19-15.
No. 3 Penn State faces final road game at Iowa

Well, maybe a poorly lit one.

The contribution of research and academic writing as part of the professional development of teacher educators is emphasized. The book has two parts. The first part, Teacher educators: roles, identities, and discourses, deals with several aspects of being a teacher educator, among them their knowledge base, their professional language and their evolving roles. The second part of the book, The pedagogy of the professional development of teacher educators, provides insights into different modes of enacting processes of professional development of teacher educators. less

A winter storm warning is in effect from late Tuesday morning through the late evening, with snow showers in the morning changing to a steady accumulating snow later on. According to the NWS, between five and nine inches of snow is possible.
The greater threat from the storm is expected to come from accumulating snow in the evening playing havoc on commuters, with hazardous driving conditions expected later in the day into the evening. Wind is predicted to be between 10 and 15 mph, with gusts of up to 35 mph possible, according to the NWS.
The temperature will be in the low 20's throughout Tuesday.
