How Cyclist Evelyn Stevens Went From Wall Street to Olympic Hopeful
Written on June 4, 2012 at 12:46 pm , by Karla Walsh
Some athletes aim for sports glory from a young age. Cyclist Evelyn Stevens is not one of them. In 2007, when she was seeking a casual way to stay fit as a Wall Street associate, Stevens discovered—and fell in love with—cycling. Within three years, she was racing on one of the best female teams in the world and had finished first at the U.S. National Time Trial.
This year, as Stevens is gearing up for London, she was voted onto the BMW Performance Team, which helps Olympic and Paralympic athletes focus on making the team and reaching their goals. "It's allowed me to continue to focus on making the Olympic Games, but also because it shows I have fan support," Stevens says.
In her own words, here's how Stevens made the transition from trading to training in one year flat.
- "When I first started biking in June 2008, I absolutely fell in love with it. I found it to be the most freeing activity, plus it got you fit very quickly! A year after I bought my first bike, I decided to take a big risk and make a big change by following my heart, passion and dreams."
- "I am fueled by challenges and immediately I was driven to become the best cyclist I could become, I didn't know if that would just be at the amateur level or at the professional level, I just knew I wanted to push my limits"
- "I will always remember my first 10-day stage race in May of 2010, as my body was suffering, I couldn't help but think that only a year ago I was spending my day in front of a computer, instead of racing up mountains in the Pyrenees!"
- "In order to thrive in cycling and in finance, you have to be driven and competitive. You have to be able to work well with a team and in stressful environments. Also, attention to detail is hugely important in cycling as it was during my career in finance—all of the small things make a big difference."
- "I love my Specialized Amira SL4 road bike, and a comfortable saddle pair of shorts are an absolute must. If you are just getting into riding, definitely take the time to find a saddle that is comfortable and don't be afraid to try out a variety of different ones in a shop. And I never get on my bike without my helmet."

Olympian Jennie Finch Tells You How to Walk Off Major Calories
Written on April 16, 2012 at 2:22 pm , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Brittany Vickers, editorial intern
Do you think you could burn a billion calories? You might need a little help–but the American Heart Association (AHA) has you covered.
With over 300 scheduled Heart Walks taking place in 2012, the AHA is determined to help Americans on the path to collectively burn more than one billion calories before 2020. The national campaign is called the Billion Calorie Count-UP, and leading the way alongside the AHA is Olympic softball gold medalist Jennie Finch.
"As an athlete I know how important being fit is," Finch told FITNESS in an exclusive interview during the official kick-off event. "I also know how much motivation it takes to stay fit!"
Now retired from softball, Finch has a new role as a mother of two boys. She has had to find different incentives to stay healthy and active since hanging up her mitt. "Working out used to be my job. Now it's my priority," she says.
The AHA aims to help Americans walk towards a healthier life. The president-elect of the AHA, Donna Arnett, shared some sad stats about America's current fitness state.
"Heart disease is so preventable," Arnett says. "If you make it to 50 years old and you have a normal blood sugar and cholesterol level your chance of heart disease is five percent. Only one percent of our population fits into that category."
So the AHA has its sites set on improving America's overall health and heart disease prevention by 20 percent by 2020! And it all starts with a simple 30-minute walk per day. It's not always easy to get started, but as Jennie told us, when you have a team to work with it suddenly becomes much easier. After running her first marathon she raved about the success of a running group.
Having a finish line or goal to work toward, and someone to work toward it with, can create a level of fun to the challenge of being healthy. The AHA is organizing walking groups and community walking paths across the country for anyone who's looking to join! Head to the website, heart.org, to find a heart walk, trail or group in your area.

Snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler's Top 5 Healthy Living Tricks
Written on April 10, 2012 at 2:07 pm , by FITNESS Intern
Written by Brittany Vickers, editorial intern
We may not all be Olympic level athletes, but some days, it can feel like we have a schedule worthy of one. The only difference is, for us, hitting the gym doesn't pay the rent. So how can we stay on top of our game? We asked Olympic snowboarder Gretchen Bleiler how she conquers the mountains (both literal and figurative) she faces everyday.
Recently, Bleiler partnered with Listerine, Reach and the American Heart Association's My Heart. My Life initiative, aimed at keeping American's healthy, so she filled us in about that as well.
I'm sure you're busy! How do you fit in time to keep yourself healthy?
If you take care of your health you'll have the energy for everything and everyone else too! It's like the emergency announcement when you fly; they stress to put the oxygen mask on yourself, before helping others. The same thing is true in life!
How do you fit in activity during your most jam-packed days?
I think the secret to staying healthy is in the daily habits that you build into your everyday life that help create balance, energy and the foundation to create the life you want. My five favorite tips for keeping up with an active and healthy lifestyle are: eating a healthy balanced diet, exercising, drinking water, following through with a proper oral care routine and always wearing sunscreen!

Exclusive Interview with U.S. Beach Volleyball Pair Jenn Kessy and April Ross!
Written on March 29, 2012 at 4:43 pm , by Christie Griffin
One of the most thrilling, coolest, and—yeah, we'll say it—sexiest Olympic sports is Women's Beach Volleyball.
That's why we were pretty psyched to chat with Jennifer Kessy and April Ross, the U.S. women's pair currently ranked fourth in the world. The duo is just a few months away from a berth to the Olympic Games in London and are preparing to dive into their competitive season. But remember how we told you about that Ludus Athletics Model Beach Volleyball Tournament in Miami this weekend? Yep, Kessy and Ross will be there. (Gah! Let's all go!)
"We train really hard Monday through Friday and try to have a regular life on the weekends," says Kessy. "So, we'll be back to work on Monday. But in the meantime, the event gives us the chance to support the NVL (National Volleyball League). Plus, it's in Miami and we like to enjoy the ride!"
And enjoy the ride they do. But it's well-deserved: After just missing out on the 2008 Games in Beijing—only two teams per gender per country can go—Kessy and Ross have been preparing for years to represent the U.S., with Olympic veterans Misty May-Treanor and Kerri Walsh. Here, Kessy and Ross reveal a few of their essentials while they're on-the-go…plus, we find out exactly why those volleyball bikini bottoms are so itty bitty.
FITNESS: What do you have to have when you're traveling?
Ross: "The number one thing I have to have is a big water bottle. If I go half an hour without water, I tend to freak out."
Kessy: "I have to have my pillow. My neck can't take different hotels pillows every week, especially after you spend your days diving for the ball. Sleep is really important to us, being on the road a lot, so I also have a sleeping mask and earplugs."
FITNESS: Are there any beauty products you can't live without, other than SPF?
Ross: "I hate the grimy buildup from the sweat and sand, so I bring exfoliating cleansers on the road to get the layers off. I also have some sun damage, so I use Kieh's Spot Corrector. I usually carry Eucerin hand cream, too."
Kessy: "I just got the Clarisonic (Skin Cleansing System), and talk about getting grime off your face!" Read more

Giuliano Celenza is not as well known as Cal Ripken, Jr.
Still, Celenza, a star player with the Baltimore Blast indoor soccer team, can relate to Ripken, the Hall of Fame shortstop with the Orioles. Both athletes grew up in the Baltimore area, and both spent their entire careers with their hometown teams while bringing championships to Charm City in their respective sports.
Celenza, who has won five indoor soccer championships with the Blast, hopes to add one more banner to that collection before retiring at the end of the season. The Essex resident will be honored in a pre-game ceremony prior to the Blast taking on the Chicago Riot at 7:35 p.m. on Friday at the 1st Mariner Arena.
"I've had a great run and couldn't ask for anything more from the Blast or the game of soccer," said Celenza, who played high school soccer at Archbishop Curley before moving on to the Community College of Baltimore County Essex and UMBC. "I've had a good run, but I'm getting older now and I believe it's the right time to move on to something different. It takes a lot more time to recover after games now."
Celenza ranks fourth on the Blast's all-time scoring list and is one of just four players to record 400 points in his Baltimore career.
Celenza has recorded 424 points in his career and has 26 points in 15 games so far this season. The Blast's 2001 Territorial draft pick, Celenza joined the Blast late in the 2000-01 season and recorded at least one point in seven of the 12 games he played in during his rookie season.
A two-time All-League selection and a two-time All-Star, has won five championships with the Blast and led the MISL with 38 goals during the 2005-06 season. He was named MVP of the 2004 All-Star Game after recording a hat trick and one assist, leading Team USA to a 10-1 win.
Celenza, who was also drafted by the Baltimore Spirit in 1996 out of high school, opened the 2010-11 season with one goal against the Chicago Riot on Nov. 19 to record the 399th and 400th points of his career. The milestone made Celenza one of just three players in franchise history to record 400 or more points and play in more than 200 games.
"Epitome of a local hero," said Blast owner Ed Hale in a statement. "He played his whole career here in Baltimore because of his love of Baltimore, fans and mostly his family."
Celenza said he is working toward hopefully joining the Maryland Transportation Authority police. However, he still has some unfinished business to take care of with the Blast.
The Blast announced this week that that if the team wins the 2010-11 regular season, the 2011 MISL Championship Game will be March 25 at 1st Mariner Arena.
"To be able to close out my career with a championship in front of the home fans would be the perfect ending," Celenza said. "I grew up coming to Blast games and always imagined playing for them. The team has been amazing to me and the fans we have are the best.
"The soccer tradition at all levels in Baltimore is unbelievable. We have great youth programs like the Bays, successful college teams like Maryland, UMBC, Towson, and of course the Blast. Winning one more championship would be the best way to tell the fans thank you for the past 11 years."

Welcome to UCLA Lab School
Part of the UCLA Graduate School of Education & Information Studies, we are an innovative school for children ages 4-12.
We encourage children's natural love of learning while also helping them develop a disciplined approach to their work. At the same time, our classrooms and meeting spaces serve as a laboratory for exploring innovative ideas about teaching, learning, and child development. We share the results of our studies through collaborations with educators from other schools, through conferences, workshops and site visits, and in print publications and other media. Through this mix of strategies, UCLA Lab School teaching practices and research outcomes have been widely shared with schools across the globe.
Our Mission
The mission of UCLA Lab School is to promote innovation and excellence in education through research, outreach, and teaching and learning. We are dedicated to addressing the needs of children from diverse backgrounds. We value teaching and learning environments that honor each child's natural joy of learning. We encourage creativity and support a disciplined approach to intellectual inquiry. We are a caring community of learners--students, teachers, staff, and families. We are committed to educating the whole child.
UCLA Lab School is working on programs to strengthen and enhance teaching and learning in PreK-8 education. Our major areas of focus include:
- Advancing partnerships with schools and districts in Los Angeles and California
- Expanding professional development programs for teachers
- Expanding educational opportunities for students and families in traditionally underserved communities in Los Angeles
A Commitment to Diversity
"If we are to achieve a richer culture, rich in contrasting values, we must recognize the whole gamut of human potentialities, and so weave a less arbitrary social fabric, one in which each diverse human gift will find a fitting place." — Margaret Mead (1901-1978, anthropologist)
Our diversity is an integral part of who we are as a school community. The diversity of our families, teachers, and staff enhances and enriches the learning environment, provides opportunities for children's growth, and helps us conduct research and develop curricula that are relevant for a wide variety of schools.
The factors that contribute to our diversity encompass race, gender, ethnicity, geography, language, sexual orientation, learning style, socioeconomics, class and income, religion, physical ability, and family structure. We continually seek ways to build connections among the members of our community so that we can advance what we know and experience regarding diversity and inclusiveness at our school and in the world around us.
Student Ethnicity
Figures are typical from year to year
Board of Advisors
The role of the UCLA Lab School Board of Advisors is to foster community support and further the mission and goals of the school. The board consists of parents of current and former students, community members, lab school faculty members, the dean of the Graduate School of Education & Information Studies, and the principal. It serves as a forum for discussion and consultation related to development, finance, and advocacy for the school.

To Hell With Ed Koch

For the Record all who sign the pledge of NY Uprising are fools.
Where has Ed Koch been, where has he been on the fights that have faced communities in this city for the last 20 years since he left City Hall. Yes he shows up to endorse candidates, and he has made a good living at his law firm. But where has he been on the issues and causes that affect all of us everyday in this City. The answer is no where.
Those who live in Ivory Towers, who get angry about the way the game is being played when they stopped playing it themselves years ago, should not be listened to now.

Born May 13, 1964 and horribly taken from us all last night November 2, 2008 due to a heart attack.He was a true Harlemite, a loyal brother, a brilliant political strategist and a friend to us all.May the Creator protect his soul, his family and all who loved him as I did.

There are three basic reasons that people of good conscience and of color should be opposed to this extension of term limits:
If term limits are to be extended it should be done so by referendum (as it was so affirmed by the voters twice). If this Council and Mayor change the charter to alter term limits, it must not benefit the current office holders but be done ONLY for those who come after them. Then it can truly be viewed as what is good for the people and not what's good for a handful of elected officials who don't want to run for or look for new jobs. As Bloomberg used to say, these efforts to change the term limits law are "disgusting."

Inez Dickens Strikes Back

In a strong display of leadership and concern, Council Member Inez Dickens today raised the issue of affordable housing in the Stated Council meeting in the land use vote on rezoning of College Point pointing out that there were no provisions for affordable housing.
The Council Member declared that the City Council must serve in the interests of all of the people of this city, many who are in need of affordable housing. Many of her colleagues joined her and changed their initial votes and the College Point rezoning sponsored by Council Member Avella was soundly defeated.
A Message To My Obama Supporting Friends
posted by Son of Harlem
Tue, 04/01/2008 - 11:59am
It has been no secret on this blog that I am a supporter of Hillary Clinton's for that I do not apologize. I believe she is the best candidate and I believe she would make the best Presdend. Again no apologies on any of that. But I can count and understand that this is a real uphill fight but let me just say one thing about and to Obama supporters.
Look, I really don't mind at all if Obama wins the nomination, and if he does I would hope he wins big too the general election and all. What's tiring is the talk that he's different, especially the hyperbolic messianic crap that his supporters shamelessly use to hype Obama. The pretending that he's light and Clinton is dark while his votes are not any different than Clinton's; the pretending that he is a progressive leader in the Senate when he is not; the pretending that he's the oracle of change when he's merely mouthing words that David Axelrod recycled from Deval Patrick's winning MA gubernatorial campaign in 2006; and the pretending that he's some sort of vessel that shares your personal values which if its true means your soul succumbs to good marketing.
Barack Obama is Not the Choice of Democrats
posted by Son of Harlem
Thu, 03/06/2008 - 9:50am
Many of my friends who are supporting Barack Obama constantly talk about the "will of the people" and they say that's where the super / unpledged delegates should vote, that they should follow the popular vote and give their votes to Obama. To that I say absolutely not.
First of all almost 28 million people have voted in one of the 41 primaries or caucuses held thus far and the difference in the popular vote between Obama and Clinton is less than one tenth of one percent (less than 35,000 out of 28,000,000 cast). So the people are clearly split between the two.
Don't Believe The Hope (Hype)
posted by Son of Harlem
Tue, 01/29/2008 - 8:02pm
I am borrowing this phrase and ideology from one of my favorite groups from the 80's and 90's - Public Enemy because I believe it fits so perfectly. We as a people have to be careful of those that come bearing gifts that we all may want.
There are two real reasons why I will not be voting for Barack Obama.
1. Let's be clear experience and a solid record matter.
His lack of experience is transparent and troubling. I rarely agree with the New York Times but on this point they are correct. Most Americans just met him in 2004 at the DNC national convention, he does not have a deep enough record and it is not a coincidence that Republicans from Tucker Carlson to Joe Scarborough think "he is the best candidate the Democrats have had in 30 years." We as Democrats should all be careful when we take advice from wolves.
Anyone Else Tired of Elizabeth Edwards
posted by Son of Harlem
Thu, 09/20/2007 - 10:01am
In the New York Times today there is a headline, "Edwards' Wife Bashes Clinton Health Plan," and it is just the latest attack on Senator Clinton from John Edwards' wife. To be honest I am sick of them, as a former strong supporter of John Edwards (I ran as a delegate for him in 2004) I think America has had enough of his wife's attacks on Senator Clinton.
If Elizabeth Edwards wants to run for President (since she seems the tougher of the two) then she should. It seems more folks are listening to her and have more empathy for her, due to her health condition. America seems to like her better and listen to more of her views than her husbands.
What The Press World Missed on Primary Day Sept. 18th
posted by Son of Harlem
Wed, 09/19/2007 - 2:17pm
The biggest thing that happened yesterday on Primary Day in the Black political world was not the victory of a judge in Brooklyn, in fact it was the dethroning of a Mayor. Yesterday in a shock to all who pay attention to Black politics in this state, Mayor Ernie Davis the Mayor of Mt. Vernon (one of the largest cities in New York State) was defeated in a surprise to all but the very few by County Legislator Clinton Young.
It was a symbol of the changing politics in the Black political world in New York State. Along with Mayor Davis down went the Chair of the Mt. Vernon Democratic Party Serapher Conn-Halevi who was running for a County Legislator seat and was painted as too close to Davis and thus untrustworthy to hold that office. Mayor Davis has been the chief executive in Mt. Vernon since 1995 and is a symbol of the Civil Rights establishment of politicians of old. This is a real blow to Rev. Franklin Richardson, Rev. Al Sharpton, County Chair Reggie Lafayette and others who have been supporters of Davis for many years.

Simply Put The Speaker is Wrong
And so is any member of the Council of color that did not speak up against this new revision to the city's campaign finance law in the democratic caucus meetings (you know who you are).
This law is wrong for the very basic fact that it is local government trying to determine which political speech ought to be heard the loudest and that is emphatically wrong.
But there are other reasons:
1. Limiting contributions for some while doing nothing the decrease the very clear advantage of wealthy candidates like Mayor Bloomberg is unconscionable;
Thoughts Upon Watching Obama Announce For President
posted by Son of Harlem
Mon, 03/05/2007 - 12:09pm
The Saturday morning that Barack Obama announced his intentions to run for President of the United States I sat down to watch the speech in my living room and forced my teenage daughter to watch it with me. I forced her because as a teenager a political speech was probably the last thing she would have wanted to do except perhaps wash the dishes. But I made her watch not because I was committed to Obama's candidacy and wanted her to be as well, because I am not – but because I felt there was going to be history made that day in Illinois. That this was going to be one of those moments in life when people in my peer group and younger than me would say, "where were you when he announced, did you see it, and what did you think?" And I did not want her to miss one of those moments, so I forced her to watch and listen.

Well, I'm a native Texan and have been making pinto beans for years and years and years and thought I would try something new. Well, my grandma's recipe (which uses tomatoes, bacon, etc.) may have to go on the back burner for awhile because these were fantastic and loved by the entire crowd. I cooked them for several hours until they were nice and tender and followed the recipe exactly using the green salsa. This one is definitely a keeper.
I have made this recipe atleast a dozen times and it comes out awesome every time. My little tweeks: I use canned diced jalapenos to taste and I stick it in the crockpot on low all day. Also, I always soak the beans the night before. Great beans!
Awesome Recipe. I did change a few things just because that is all I had on hand and they still came out with a really good flavor. I substituted onion for an envelope of onion soup mix and jalapeno for a can of green chilies and used pace picante sauce instead of the green salsa. I also added ketchup to the beans just because that is what my mother in law always does. The beans did take longer than two hours to cook though. I will next time follow the suggestion of another reviewer and soak the beans over night. Thanks for such a great recipe!

Nothing is too hard for God
Gary Ankrum' ought to be writing this one, but since it isn't his month, I want to take the opportunity to congratulate the Asemblies of God for their new billboards, proclaiming that "Nothing is too hard for God."
It is absolutely true. On the radio this afternoon, driving home from Bolivar, I heard the lyrics, "Nothing is too hard for God; he's been tested and tried and found true..." The song then goes on with a long list of biblical, characters who could testify to God's faithfulness.
I love the campaign. And it has been rolling around in my head since I first read about it. But here's the deal, and Gary would tell you this, too. Nothing is too hard for God, But God is not obligated to do everything you think you need him to do for you. For one thing, it isn't really about you. It's all about God. And sometimes God's purposes for the world, and for you, are not best served by giving you what you demand. Sometimes they are best served by withholding something you really, really need so that someone else who does not know Him has an opportunity to see how you are enabled to live in joy and trust, even under stress. It may be that God needs your witness in helplessness and neediness more than he needs you healthy, happy and
wealthy. It may be that God desires your holiness more than you do, and more than he desires to give you what you can struggle to learn - to persevere in prayer, to be patient in hope, to be longsuffering and gentle in opposition.
God can do anything. Nothing at all is too hard for God.

MANILA, Philippines — Friday, June 03, 2011, the United States became successful in gaining the consent to look for for the remains of American troops who died or gone missing while combating Japanese World War II (WWII) occupation armed forces in the Philippines.
Ambassador Harry Thomas said that under the contract, Missing-in-Action Accounting Command and Joint Prisoner-of-War teams from Hawaii will make short, cyclic voyage to attempt, with local help, to locate the remains of the fallen.
"Sadly, for over 65 years, many of those Americans who fought alongside Filipinos and gave their lives to liberate the Philippines in World War II have never been accounted for, as their remains have never been found. Thanks to this new undertaking... we now have an opportunity to address this…," Thomas said in a declaration.
Neither side gave details why it had taken so long to reach an agreement.
"The (agreement) honours the shared sacrifices made by the armed forces of both countries that stood together side by side to defend freedom during World War II," the Philippine foreign department said in a statement.
The US and Philippine government didn't mention how many US military forces gone missing in the Philippines for the duration of the warfare.
The Memorial in the Philippines and Manila American Cemetery has graves of 17,202 Americans who died in WWII action, most in New Guinea and the Philippines. Tablets emblazoned with names of the missing list 36,285, counting some since recovered and known, the burial ground website says.

Voting lines as long as an hour line have been reported at polling places in Newtown.
When the polls opened at 7 a.m. at Goodnoe Elementary in Newtown Township, a line as long as an hour formed, residents reported. At 9:30 a.m., the line had shrunk to a 20 minute wait. There were no parking places and voters were using makeshift spots on the lawn.
At the Newtown Fire Station, there was no wait to vote around 9:30 a.m. but poll workers said there was a line earlier in the morning.
"We had a line and we never have a line," poll worker Liz Warren said.
Poll worker Paul Salvatore, who was also at the fire station polling place, said the line was 40 people deep earlier in the morning. "For us to have 40 people, that's a lot," he said.
At the Newtown Township Municipal Building polling place, the lines first thing in the morning were more than an hour, voters reported. By 10 a.m., the lines had shortened but not by much, said township Supervisor Rob Ciervo, who was outside the polling location. "It really hasn't slowed down at all," he said, adding the turnout is similiar to other past presidential elections.
At Anchor Run Presbyterian Church in Wrightstown Township, the wait was more than a half hour long shortly after 10 a.m.

One sure sign summer is on the way is Saranac Thursday, held each week in the F.X. Matt Brewery parking lot on Court Street in Utica.
A community fixture the last 14 years, the event attracts crowds of 1,500 to 2,000 to the brewery's outdoor beer garden weekly, as well as to the bars on nearby Varick Street.
Looking to establish a social event the village can call its own, the Herkimer board of trustees Monday approved a request from Belly Up Pub owner Amy Mosher to set up an outdoor bar and stage on West Albany Street on Saturday nights throughout the summer.
The request, which was approved pending Mosher receiving approval from the state Liquor Authority and village Attorney Nicholas Macri's review of Mosher's insurance coverage, would create an event similar to Saranac Thursday as a different band would be featured each Saturday night. The bands would perform from 8 p.m. to midnight.
"It's an idea to bring people to Herkimer," said Mosher. "It would be a fun night out."
"It would draw the community together," said Mayor Mark Ainsworth. "It's an opportunity to promote Herkimer and what the village has to offer."
Mosher said the unnamed event would likely begin in June and continue through September. She added the bar would provide security inside the fenced off area on West Albany Street and would be responsible for cleaning up after the event ends at 2 a.m.
"Is this something that will happen every Saturday? I don't know, because I don't know if I will be able to find a band to play every week. I figured I should dream big, because I can always scale back if necessary," said Mosher.
"Also, if there start to be complaints or problems, I'd be open to having the music start and end earlier. I'm willing to work with the village to make this a success," she added.
Police Chief Joseph Malone said his department would work with Mosher. "She knows if she starts to have problems there we will show up," he said. "An event like this could be good for the village. If the safety and security in place, there's no reason it can't work."
Trustee Harold Stoffolano abstained from voting on the request, as he said he would be in favor of having the event once or twice before committing to 10 or 12 weeks.
"With the traffic on state Route 5 and the families on the other side of the street, I have concerns," he said. "There could be complaints or problems."
"It's a great idea," said Trustee Katherine Nichols. "Anything that promotes downtown is good for the village. I hope the community comes out and supports it."
Page 2 of 2 - The 2013 Saranac season will kick-off on May 23 and run through Sept. 5. The gates will open at 5:30 p.m., with music from 6 to 9 p.m. Admission is $5, with a portion of the proceeds benefiting the United Way of the Valley and Greater Utica Area.

East County team aims for world finals
Date: May 7, 2009
by: Pam McTeer | News Editor
MANATEE COUNTY — If it really is an issue of mind over matter, then a team of East County high school students will soon be heading to Ames, Iowa, to compete in the world finals for Odyssey of the Mind, an international education program that emphasizes creative problem-solving.
But in this case, the matter — or rather means — does make a difference.
The seven-member team from Southeast High School has less than three weeks to raise about $7,000. The cost covers housing, travel and other expenses for the competition, which is being held May 27-30 at Iowa State University.
"It is the hardest thing about making it to world finals," the team's coach Samantha Robinson said. "You have such a short time to raise money."
Students qualified for world finals during the state competition April 4, but did not get permission from their principal to attend the conference until weeks later after returning from spring break and sorting through proposed administrative changes at Southeast.
Team members already have decided to forego opening ceremonies to trim on expenses and have chosen to fly in to Chicago, nearly a six-hour drive from Ames, for the same reason.
The team has applied and been declined for several grants. It currently is waiting to hear back on grants from the Manatee Education Foundation, which has indicated it may not be able to help this year, and from the Odyssey of the Mind.
"It's disappointing when you get that far and the only barricade in your way is the amount of money," Panther Ridge resident Luca Erozer, 17, said.
"We would never know how well we could have done," 17-year-old Ben Robinson added.
During state competition, this Odyssey of the Mind team won second place in its division for its solution to a long-term problem called "Shock Waves." Teams had to design and construct a structure out of balsa wood and glue that would balance and support as much weight as possible while absorbing shock waves. They also had to create a skit around the testing of the structure.
To help get this team to the World Finals through a financial sponsorship, call Samantha Robinson at 518-5698.

The Meridian Star
Despite his team's 3-16 (1-5) record, Northeast Lauderdale senior Blake Key will be the first person to tell you the Trojans aren't done yet.
Key, who leads Northeast with a .487 batting average, is determined to help his team get back on track and maybe even sneak into the playoff picture.
"As a team we are struggling a little bit, but things are starting to come together," Key said. "Our goal this year is still to make the playoffs. We got to take it one game at a time."
"If we win this one Friday, it'd be a big momentum swing. We could win out the rest of our games and still make a playoff spot."
The Trojan's leadoff hitter, Key has produced eye-popping numbers this season. On top of his stellar batting average, Key has also compiled a .556 on base percentage, seven doubles, two triples and has scored 14 runs in the Trojans 19 games this season. However, Northeast head coach Matt Minchew said the thing that really sets Key apart is what he brings to the team off the field.
"He's brought more to the table this year from a leadership role," Minchew said. "We have leaned on him to rally the guys up and get them going."
Key earned the leadership role far before the first game of the season, as he spent countless hours perfecting his swing in the fall. Minchew remembers coming back to the field after practice several times during the off-season only to find Key still at work in the batting cages.
The senior embraces the leadership role and said he fuels himself on setting a positive example for younger teammates.
"I just tell the team to keep their head up," Key said. "You got to ignore all the stuff outside of baseball and keep focusing."
That same upbeat attitude has helped Key overcome adversity of his own this season. Key dislocated his pinky sliding back into first base during the March 8 game against West Lauderdale.
Shortly after, trainers were able to pop the finger back into place. However, the swelling in his hand continued in the following weeks. Key continued to play through the pain. He even remained in the lineup when Northeast played six games in five days during Spring Break.
"It's just now starting to get better after a few weeks," Key said. "I could feel it in my swing, but it is getting better now."
Minchew said his center fielder has always been able to play under pressure. Key's flare for the dramatic began early in his high school career, as he went 4-4 at the plate with two doubles during his first varsity game his freshman year.
"He really stood out to us the summer heading into his sophomore year," Minchew said. "He started getting a lot more at bats, and everybody started realizing how good his hand-eye coordination was.
"He can swing it, bottom line, I wish I had nine of him. He has had a great four years here."
Key and his teammates will get the opportunity to start the turnaround tonight, as Northeast Lauderdale travels to Newton County 13-4 (7-0) in a must-win game for the Trojans.
Northeast Lauderdale will send ace Ben Smith to the mound against Newton County top pitcher Will Brand, who leads the Cougars with six wins. Minchew said Smith has given the team a chance to win every time he has taken the mound and expects the junior righty to shine on the big stage tonight.
With only three teams advancing from Region 5 4A, the Trojans will need to win the rest of their games and receive some help from other teams in order to earn a spot in the playoffs.
While the task might seem impossible to some, Key said his teammates aren't feeling any added pressure, as they look to continue focusing on the task at hand and prove many doubters in the community wrong.
"We got nothing to lose right now," Key said. "We just need to take it one game at a time and enjoy it."

"Israel is the only country in the world that is accused by its enemies of practicing apartheid without racism; of perpetrating a Holocaust without gas chambers; of engaging in genocide without mass murder; of committing war crimes without targeting civilians; and of being the worst human rights violator in the world, while having one of the most responsive legal systems in the world. This is accusation by metaphor, prosecution by propaganda, trial by bigotry, guilt by hyperbole, and sentence by sloganeering."—Alan Dershowitz
This quote sums up "world opinion" about our staunchest ally in the middle-east, and the only democracy in the area. Yet this just shows the wilful ignorance of history and political realities in that region (see the Patriot columns: Slanders against Israel, Part 1 and Part 2).
Obama was long a devoted member of Jeremiah Wright's church, which printed propaganda from the terrorist group Hamas (Hebrew for "violence"), whose charter calls for the destruction of the Jewish state and to obliterate Jews anywhere in the world. So it should surprise only the naïve that he has now demanded that Israel return to the indefensible pre-1967 borders—which would also chop its capital in two.
These borders were the lines where Israel stopped seven Arab armies from destroying the new Jewish state in 1948–49. Since they were explicitly trying to finish Hitler's job, Israel's longtime ambassador to the United States and the UN, Abba Eban, called these boundaries line the "Auschwitz border."
Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu wasn't having any of Obama's nonsense. He is the son of a still-active 101-year old professor, lived for years in America, has been a diplomat, soldier and terrorism fighter, as well as a free market reformer. And he smacked Obama down in a way Republican challengers should learn from: politely but firmly, crisply but in command of the facts. In particular, that those pre-1967 borders meant that:
"Israel was all of 9 miles wide— half the width of the Washington Beltway. … So we can't go back to those indefensible lines, and we're going to have to have a long-term military presence along the Jordan."
So what happened to change those borders in 1967?
This brilliant Israeli victory still rankles with Arab Jew-haters, and is claimed as an example of Israeli aggression. Yet this was a war of self-defense against enemies sworn to annihilate her. Consider:
With all these actions and vicious threats, Israel—remember it was only nine miles wide at the time—could not afford to wait. Egypt alone had a huge force of 420 aircraft, mainly the latest Soviet MiG-21 supersonic jet fighters.
So Israel hatched a daring plan, Operation Focus (Mivtza Moked). On June 5, 184 of Israel's 196 combat aircraft flew out to attack. But instead of heading directly to Egypt, they went over the Mediterranean, then looped around to attack Egypt from the opposite direction. The attack was also at 7:45 am, when most high-ranking officers were stuck in the usual Cairo traffic jam. The planes flew under Egypt's radar, headed to the air force bases, and bombed the runways so no enemy plane could take off. Then the Israelis, attacking in waves, wiped out the planes themselves, destroying most of Egypt's air force on the ground.
Meanwhile, Israel had appealed to Jordan to keep out of the war. Jordan foolishly ignored this, and attacked from the other side, so the Israeli planes then destroyed much of the Jordanian air force as well. The Iraqi and Syrian air forces met the same fate.
Then the Israeli land forces defeated the Egyptians, taking the Sinai peninsula. They followed up with taking the West Bank of the Jordan and Eastern part of Jerusalem from Jordan, so the historic Jewish capital was again in Jewish hands. Finally, Israel took the Golan Heights back from Syria, which had turned the historically Jewish area into a favorite terrorist rocket launch pad.
After the ceasefire, the Israeli Defense Force commander Yitzchak Rabin, a future Nobel Peace Prizewinner and Israeli Prime Minister, named the battle the "Six Day War", "evoking the days of creation" from the Hebrew Bible.
The above should show that Israel was well justified in expanding its borders. But even so, Israel has given most of the land back, ostensibly for peace. Yet her enemies will never be satisfied. For example, in 2008, Ehud Olmert offered Fatah (Palestinian Authority) leader Mahmoud Abbas, a supposed moderate, 93%, percent of the West Bank, plus more territory from Israel proper. Yet even that was not enough—Abbas just walked out.
As for the "peace", where is it? Obama's betrayal is in effect rewarding Israel's enemies for their deceit, dishonouring agreements, violence and intransigence. Even worse, as Netanyahu said in his speech to Congress, "They continue to educate their children to hate. They continue to name public squares after terrorists."
It also rewards Abbas for re-uniting with the even more militant Hamas. As Netanyahu pointed out to Obama, Hamas is "the Palestinian version of al Qaida," and even it even attacked Obama for killing Osama bin Laden, Obama's latest brag point. So he rightly said:
"So I say to President Abbas, 'Tear up your pact with Hamas, sit down and negotiate, make peace with the Jewish state. And if you do, I promise you this: Israel will not be the last country to welcome a Palestinian state as the new member of the United Nations. It will be the first to do so.'"
Again, Netanyahu made it very clear who the real war-mongers are:
"It's time to stop blaming Israel for all the region's problems. Israel is not what's wrong with the Middle East. Israel is what's right with the Middle East."
He laid it on the line:
"President Abbas must do what I have done. I stood before my people — and I told you it wasn't easy for me. I stood before my people, and I said, 'I will accept a Palestinian state.'
"It's time for President Abbas to stand before his people and say, 'I will accept a Jewish state.'
"Those six words will change history. They'll make it clear to the Palestinians that this conflict must come to an end, that they're not building a Palestinian state to continue the conflict with Israel, but to end it.
"And those six words will convince the people of Israel that they have a true partner for peace."
This is the only concession that an American president should demand: recognize Israel's right to exist!

Casey Kleisinger scores shorthanded goal to give Air Force a 2-0 lead in second period.
Colorado College is in big, big trouble.
Serratore talked about punching CC's Tigers in the mouth, and that's exactly what he's doing
Fri, December 30, 2011 by David Ramsey with 1 comment
Air Force coach Frank Serratore talked earlier this week with The Gazette's Brian Gomez about his plans for Colorado College.
"Let's go punch them in the mouth," Serratore said. "Let's see what happens."
And that's exactly what's happening here at World Arena. Air Force has dominated, grabbing a 1-0 lead that very nearly became a 2-0 lead. Tony Thomas scored on a sprawling shot that officials waved off.
Air Force is always more hungry in this crosstown rivalry games. Colorado College is usually more talented.
So far tonight, Air Force is more hungry and more talented. CC is in danger of getting punched in the mouth.
Hempsey draws start for injured Lyons tonight
Fri, December 30, 2011 by admin with 1 comment
Shawn Hempsey will start in place of injured Air Force guard Michael Lyons tonight when the Falcons take on Eastern Michigan at the Cable Car Classic. Freshman Chris Carter started for Lyons Thursday night, but Hempsey got 23 minutes off the bench and had two points and three assists in a loss to Wagner. Tonight will be Hempsey's first start since March 7, 2009.
Center Taylor Broekhuis will play despite dealing with a sore ankle, an academy spokesman said.
Calhoun still has no regrets about two-point try
Fri, December 30, 2011 by admin with 5 comments
Just finished a season wrap-up conference call with Air Force coach Troy Calhoun (check for my story later on Gazette.com, which will wrap up this season and look forward to next year), and he said that after a couple days to reflect and watch the film, he has no regrets about going for a fake extra point and the two-point conversion in the Military Bowl against Toledo with 52 seconds left. The try failed and Air Force lost 42-41.
"No, sir," Calhoun said when asked if he had any regrets.
The details of the play, what Air Force was expecting from Toledo's defense on the extra point try and what Calhoun's reasoning was for the call, are explained here.
"The look is exactly what we expected," Calhoun said. "You still have to punch it in. That's on a coach, too."
Calhoun credited Toledo for thwarting the attempt. Toledo defensive end Jayrone Elliott sniffed out the play, burst through the line and hit Air Force holder David Baska well short of the goal line.
"That kid did make a pretty darn good play," Calhoun said.
Lyons will not play tonight for Air Force vs. Wagner
Thu, December 29, 2011 by admin with no comments
Air Force guard Michael Lyons, who was the leading scorer in the Mountain West before suffering a high ankle sprain in the Falcons' last game against Gonzaga, is not dressed out for tonight's game against Wagner in the Cable Car Classic and will not play, an Air Force spokesman said.
Freshmen Chris Carter and Kamryn Williams are the top candidates to make the start in Lyons' place. Lyons is also doubtful to play tomorrow, although Air Force hasn't put a timetable on his return and considers him day to day. In a worst-case scenario, Lyons could miss a few weeks for the Falcons.
Military Bowl final: Toledo 42, Air Force 41
Wed, December 28, 2011 by admin with 21 comments
It's hard to imagine a sicker feeling in football than what Air Force kicker Parker Herrington had when the ball, and the Falcons' Military Bowl win, was rolling away from him and out of bounds.
Air Force tried a fake extra point for a 2-point conversion and a win with 52 seconds left. The ball was not designed to go to Herrington, even though it looked like an option play. He was simply a decoy to draw the outside linebacker outside with him. Punter David Baska was going to run it in. But when Baska was hit, the ball popped loose and Herrington was all alone with the ball near his feet, right in front of the goal line.
"I was running away from the play and all of a sudden the ball is coming at me," Herrington said. "I was waiting for it to come across my body in front of me, and all of a sudden it takes a bounce directly at me."
Herrington hit the ball with his hand, and then it bounced off his foot and right towards the sideline. The ball went out of bounds, and after Toledo recovered an onside kick and got a first down, the game was over.
"It was a footrace, and it didn't slow up," Herrington said.
Although there were other options – the Falcons could have let the offense go for the 2-point conversion, or they could have kicked the extra point and gone to overtime – Air Force's players didn't seem to argue with the decision to go with the fake, which the coaches had informed them was a possibility during the week.
"We talked about it in practice, that if the time came and we scored a touchdown with a few minutes to go, we were going to do that," guard A.J. Wallerstein said. "If you can't get the two yards when you need to you don't deserve to win the game, and they stopped us."
Military Bowl pregame: Air Force vs. Toledo
Wed, December 28, 2011 by admin with 3 comments
We're about ready to kick off at the Military Bowl at RFK Stadium today, and it isn't raining today, unlike Tuesday. The field appears to be in good condition. It's a bit windy and chilly, but the weather shouldn't affect today's game.
There have been no announced starting lineup changes for the Falcons. It will be interesting to see who starts in place of injured starting linebacker Jordan Waiwaiole – although Austin Niklas is likely to play most of the snaps, there might be a chance senior Ken Lamendola gets a ceremonial start.
A rundown of our Air Force stories leading up to the Military Bowl
Wed, December 28, 2011 by admin with 2 comments
I'll be posting a pregame report here from RFK Stadium, but in the meantime, here's links to our top stories leading up to the Military Bowl, to get you ready for Air Force vs. Toledo:
- The ability to sell tickets is what every bowl executive looks for. In all my conversations with bowl executive committee members, rarely does record or head-to-head results come up, it's always about how well a team travels. And, Air Force is now known for traveling pretty well.
- Ramsey believes Air Force will win.
- Really interested to see what new tricks the two coaches have cooked up for the game.
- Air Force's seniors are very motivated to win.
- The long gap between games is really brutal.
- The breakdown of three things to watch, key matchup, by the numbers and more.
- Every year, I'm gonna feel for the seniors who are injured and will watch their final game from the sideline.
- Air Force was pleased with its practices leading up to the game.
- Air Force guard A.J. Wallerstein is a pretty good player, and he's ridiculously smart.
- Cool story of linebackers Patrick Hennessey and Ken Lamendola, a pair of ninth-semester players, being such close friends.
- Air Force is going to rely on a lot of new faces next year.
- This is what can make college sports fun: the tale of Anthony Wright, who was on the verge of academic disaster at Air Force as a freshman and is now on track to graduate.
- Maybe the best young player the Falcons have right now is safety Anthony Wooding.
- Receiver Jonathan Warzeka didn't put up great numbers this season, but he hasn't let that affect him.
- Quarterback Tim Jefferson is ready to close out a record-breaking career.
- Teams have a tough time preparing for Air Force, but there are challenges for the Falcons in preparation too. Teams throw plenty of tricked up defenses at them to slow down their running game.
- Toledo is motivated after last season's heartbreaking loss.
- Bowl preparation was a little odd because of the December schedule for Air Force.
- Air Force's defense wants some redemption in the bowl game.
- Referenced in the first story on the list, the Military Bowl gave the Independence Bowl about $124,000 to make sure it got the Falcons.

My last "What Is It?" item attracted a pretty meager response. I've been hinting at backing off for a while in favor of goofy misspelled/mispunctuated signs, but I'll take another run at this today in hopes that the item itself was the problem.This one certainly ought to be intriguing. If you think you know what it's used for, or want to hazard a wild guess, please put it in the Comments.
The first person to identify it correctly will be eligible for fabulous prizes. I'll reveal the answer next Wednesday.

That's the only view I have to offer. I no longer have access to the object. My impression is that it isn't as old as some of the ancient farm implements I've used in the past, but it's not of recent vintage, either.

Hey Bill, You're really not much help here. I'm thinking you ran out of prize bumper stickers so you don't want anybody to guess correctly?

Sorry. OK, I don't think you really use it in that position, but I'm not entirely sure so I was afraid I would mix someone up.

B.A. Chemistry, Carleton College, 1988
Ph.D. Chemistry, Stanford University, 1993
Postdoctoral Fellow, University of California, Berkeley, 1993-1995
Academic Positions
Assistant Professor, McGill University, 1995-2001
Associate Professor, McGill University, 2001-2009
Dawson Scholar, McGill University, 2005-present
Full Professor, McGill University, 2010-present
Bruce Arndtsen was born in Minnesota in 1966. He did his undergraduate studies at Carleton College (B.A. in Chemistry, 1988). He received a Ph.D. in Chemistry (1993) at Stanford University, under the direction of Prof. Lisa McElwee-White. His thesis research probed the synthesis and reactivity of low valent metal-nitrene complexes. He was a postdoctoral fellow with Prof. Robert Bergman at the University of California, Berkeley from 1993-1995, working in the area of iridium mediated alkane C-H bond activation. In 1995, he accepted his faculty position at McGill University, was promoted to associate professor in 2001 followed by full professor in 2010, and in 2005 was named a Dawson Scholar at McGill University.
Research in his group focuses on the discovery and mechanistic understanding of new approaches to chemical synthesis by transition metal catalysis. Their work has demonstrated that transition metal-based reactions can be used to design efficient, one step syntheses of a range of important core structures directly from available building blocks, as an alternative to classic multistep protocols. His group has also developed the general concept of using ion pairing with chiral anions as an alternative to chiral ligands in asymmetric transition metal catalysis. In addition, they have shown that a-amino acids and peptides can be synthesized by metal catalysis directly from simple imines and carbon monoxide, and developed mechanistic insights into each of these metal catalyzed processes.
Professor Arndtsen is the recipient of a DuPont Aid in Education Award (2000), and one of only a handful in Canada to be awarded an NSERC Accelerator Grant for Exceptional New Opportunities (2004). He was his department's nominee for a Leo Yaffe Teaching award in 1998, and in 2005 was named a William Dawson Scholar at McGill University (a Canadian Research Chair equivalent, Tier II).

Would a creative, new bus design get you to explore the Route 1 corridor?
The organizers behind Route 1 Ride Collaborative bus wrap contest hope so. Today, they announced the winner of an online vote to determine which of three selected finalist designs would grace TheBus' Route 17, also known as the Route 1 Ride.
According to Stuart Eisenberg, director of the Hyattsville Community Development Corporation which ran the online contest, the voting was neck and neck.
"It was a little bit of a horse race there," said Eisenberg.
The winning design, The paint tube features the names of the cities along the Route 1 Corridor. Her design will appear on Route 1 Ride buses for at least three years.
Axner bested two other contestants, Matthew Gifford and Boshwell Talavera.
Eisenberg didn't have the exact vote totals in front of him, but said that Talavera's design came in a close second.
The bus line connects the Route 1 communities between Mount Rainier and northern College Park.
Voting took place between late July and September, 2012.
