One Little Mention
Anytime you read through a well written family history book, you are bound to find things out about your family members that you never knew…even if you knew them all your life. The big thing is, I guess, that sometimes when things are in the past, they are viewed as ancient history. We all do things when we are young that we don't continue into adulthood. I knew many things about my Aunt Ruth through the years. She loved animals, gardening, and the mountains of Washington. She was an artist both in paintings and music. She painted a picture of herself that I would have thought was painted by a professional artist…along with other paintings. She could play any instrument that she picked up, as if she had been playing it all her life. She knew things about the weather that surprised me as a child…like the time they were at our house. Aunt Ruth suddenly jumped up and looked out the window. She said there is a tornado somewhere. I thought she saw something, but it was the way the wind suddenly stopped where we were that caused her to think that. I heard later that a small twister was reported on Casper Mountain. I never forgot that she had somehow known.
As I said, I knew Aunt Ruth loved animals, and I had seen pictures of her with several horses. I could tell that she was a pretty good horsewoman. I never had very much to do with horses, so seeing her seated firmly on her horse as he reared up, struck me as an amazing feat. And I knew that the family owned horses, and all the kids, my Aunt Laura, my Uncle Bill, my dad, and Aunt Ruth, road regularly, but never was there any mention of racing except in what I read today. Uncle Bill was describing the scene of one of the pictures he had put in the book, and he said that the horse was Aunt Ruth's race horse, which she did ride in some races. He doesn't specify how she did in the races she ran, but if it is like pretty much anything else Aunt Ruth did, she was probably pretty good at it.
I had to wonder why I had never heard about her racing before, and if I was the only one in the family who didn't know about it? Why was it that Aunt Ruth never talked about racing? I also wondered if it was something that she thought about doing professionally as a young girl, or if it was always just something she did to pass the time and to test her horse. If no one else in the family knew about her racing either, I suppose that it is something that will drift into the unknown past…except for that one little mention of it in Uncle Bill's family history books.
Something Seems To Be Wrong Here
Sometimes, you come across a picture that looks simple enough at first. Then upon closer examination, you see that something seems to be wrong here. I have often wondered what was going on in this picture. Here you have 13 horses all tied to one rope, that is obviously not anchored in any way, because it takes 2 men and a boy to keep them in place. It seemed innocent enough to me at first, or maybe I just didn't look at the picture closely enough. I guess that the 2 men and a boy didn't exactly strike me as being an odd situation…until I looked closely at the 4 women and 2 girls standing off to the side. Their faces didn't look right, even in a time when people rarely smiled in pictures.
While the wind is blowing some, it seems very clear to me that these women, my great grandmother and her girls, are concerned about what the men, my great grandfather and their two sons, are doing. The men also seem to feel like whatever they are doing, is possibly dangerous enough to warrant keeping the women back to a safe distance, and the need for 4 people to hold the horses in place. Of course, my curious mind has been going back and forth on this matter for days. I can't decide if there is to be a race, which seems odd, because it would be impossible to release all of the horses at the same time, when they are all tied to the same rope. The horses don't act wild, so it seems unlikely that they are concerned about anyone getting kicked or run over, especially considering the boy and the man that are in the midst of the horses.
It is obvious to me that they are not just watching the horses for someone else, because with the exception of the horse with the man observing at the end of the string of horses, none of the horses pictured have a saddle on. My guess is that they are at an auction, and they are selling the horses, but if that is the case, then, I can't exactly figure out why the women look so concerned. My curious mind may never know the answer to that question, so all I can do is speculate.
Who's The Oldest
My niece, Machelle was born almost 7 months after my youngest daughter, Amy, and a year and 5 months after my oldest daughter, Corrie. Nevertheless, due to the height of Machelle's dad, at 6′ 6″ tall, it was doubtful that she would be shorter than my girls for very long. By the time the first stair step pictures were taken, Machelle had passed Amy up permanently. Amy would be the shortest of the grandchildren in the end.
Machelle and Corrie would go back and forth for a number of years, but by the time Corrie was 12, she was done growing, and Machelle would pass her up permanently too. Through the years, it was hard to tell which of the girls was the oldest, because people naturally expect the tallest child to be the oldest child. As the years have gone by only Eric, the youngest grandchild passed all the girls up, Barry is the same height as Machelle, and JD is shorter than she is. As to the girls, it's pretty mixed up. Machelle finally lost out in the race to be the tallest, but it was to her own little sister, Susan. Corrie is taller than Amy, at 5'0″ to Amy's 4'11″. Of course, now, it doesn't really matter who is the tallest anyway.
Machelle may have lost the height race, but that doesn't mean that she has lost out as a person. I love the person Machelle has turned into. She is sweet and loving, and very helpful. I can count on her to help out with anything I ask, whenever she is here. My only regret is that she lives in Powell, because I don't get to see her and her family as much as I would like. All the years of competing to be the tallest are long past now, as are the little girls toys and games…and sometimes I wish they hadn't gone by so fast. The kids were all so cute standing up straight and tall, hoping to have maybe…just maybe, passed the child who was taller than they were the last year. It was all so cute, and it was over too soon, and now it is Machelle's birthday again, but the one thing we no longer ask…who's the oldest, because really…you don't ask a woman her age, you know. Happy birthday Machelle!! Have a great day!!
Getting Tall
I am often amazed at how big my grandson, Josh has grown. Especially when I think about the early start he got. Josh was born 5 weeks early. His weight wasn't too bad at 5 pounds 6.5 ounces, but his lungs were underdeveloped, so he went to Denver for 2 weeks to get stronger. Once he came home, he decided to catch up on his lost time. Josh began eating like a horse, and before long, his weight was up to normal, or even a little chunky for his age.
That didn't last very long, because as soon as he started to grow, he was a little bean pole…so much so that his mom said he had bird legs. And hungry! That boy was always hungry, especially for treats!! You would expect him to be fat, but he wasn't and at 14, still isn't.
As to those underdeveloped lungs…well, I think they are just fine. Josh likes track meets, and last year he took first in the 400 meter race, finishing in just 1.07 minutes. And he wasn't even badly out of breath. He ran so fast that second place was about a fourth of the track length behind him. It was an amazing race.
Josh continues to amaze us with everything he does, but lately I have been especially surprised by his height. It looks like he might be the tallest of my 4 grandchildren, and I expected him to be more like the shortest of the boys…until he was 3, that is, when his height indicated that he would be taller.
With him being as talk as he is and the youngest grandchild, I find myself a little sad. Those grandbaby years are over, as they are almost adults. It just doesn't seem possible. They should all still be little.
Catching Up
My grandson, Josh started out in this life as a preemie baby, being born 5 weeks early, and while his medical problems were minor…just underdeveloped lungs and his small size. After spending 2 weeks at Presbyterian St Luke's Hospital in the neo-natal intensive care unit, Josh came home a healthy baby boy with no signs of the early birth he had experienced. He began the catch up process, and did a very good job of it. He quickly left behind that small size and weak lungs, and turned into a very healthy and strong runner.
Today, I had the privileged of attending Josh's track meet in Douglas. Josh has always loved to run…even as a little boy, and he and his brother raced to school. Their dad tells me that they still race each other, and maybe that is why Josh is so good at racing…lots of practice. He started out trying to catch up to his brother, and then he started winning sometimes.
Josh did well in his races, but it was the 4 X 400 Meter Relay that was the most exciting…for many people. In the 4 X 400 Meter Relay, there are teams that race against each member of the team runs once around the track with a baton. After each runner runs their lap, the baton is handed off to the next runner. Josh was the second runner on his team. At the point the baton was handed off to Josh, his team was in dead last out of 6 or 7 teams. About a quarter of the way around the track Josh began his sprint. He passed the slowest runners easily, and then began the real catch up work. One by one Josh passed each other the other runners, until there was only one runner ahead of him. When Josh handed off the baton to the next runner, their team was in 2nd place, and there they stayed.
Josh had put his team back in the race. They were in last place…with little hope of changing their situation. It is very hard to picture any possibility of catching up. Then came Josh. He ran past each of the other racers as if they were standing still, and believe me, they were running hard. If there had been 100 more meters for Josh to run, he would have passed the first place team runner as well, but it didn't matter, because they had been given hope again. And they weren't in last place. Second place was a joyous position to be in.
After the race was over, and Josh returned to the bleachers where we were sitting near his school's group. Josh was the talk of the crowd. All three coaches complimented him on a great run, as did all the students…and especially his teammates. The last runner on his team…usually the fastest runner, came up to Josh and said, "That's it!! You are a permanent member of our relay team!!" It was a wonderful day for my grandson…and his parents and grandma too.
The Thrill Of Victory
Today is the first track meet of the year for my grandson, Josh. He is the only one of my grandkids that really likes track. The others have done it a time or two, but Josh loves to run, and so the track part of the meet totally suits him. He has really been training for the track meets all of his life…even before he knew what a track meet was.
Josh and his big brother, Chris used to come to my house in the mornings and when it was time to go to school, they would walk the half block to their elementary school. I say that they walked, but that was rarely the case. Mostly they had a race to see who could get there first, and except for reminding them to look both ways for cars, I simply enjoyed watching the race to see who would win today.
When these races first started, Josh was pretty little…a Kindergarten, grade school newcomer. At that age, his strategy was…outsmart the big brother. So, he tried to distract his big brother so he could get the upper hand. They were supposed to go out to the sidewalk and start the race at the same time, but Josh always managed to figure out a way to get a head start. I know that he figured it was his only way to win, since his brother, Chris is 2 1/2 years older than he is. And at in those early years, Josh was probably right.
Then as Josh grew, things began to change. Josh worked so hard at beating his brother, that he grew stronger and quicker. He started winning a race or two…which was surprising to his brother. We had to start making Josh was until I said, "On your mark! Get set! Go!" Otherwise the races were no longer fair to Chris. Still, even with the new fair starts, Josh was winning more and more. Not always, but winning fair and square.
Those early races were not to practice for future track meets, but they did stimulate a love for running and racing that has carried Josh into this sport. He has tried the field events, but they don't give him the excitement of the run, the wind in his face, and the thrill of the victory that racing gives. Running is where he shines, and I, for one, love to watch the race. Go get 'em Champ!!

More than 300 guests including local dignitaries, business representatives and Navarro College administration filled the Bluebonnet room of the Midlothian Conference Center Saturday night.
The occasion was the college's fifth annual fundraiser named Brilliance ICE, (Inspiring Community for Education).
The coordinator for the second year was Cynthia Seskess who also serves as the college's academic advisor and public relations director.
"This is a very rewarding challenge to bring the community together to help the students of Ellis County," Seskess said.
The event has had several themes over the years. This year's was a vey modern theme mixing mediums," Seskess said. "We wanted to communicate that it takes all the Ellis County communities coming together to make a difference in today's college students."
"This year I look forward to having a bigger and better year than last year. And last year was a huge success," said Dr. Kenneth Martin, Navarro College-Ellis County president.
Martin explained the fundraiser is to help students with tuition to college.
"We are here to invest for our future students. They are the future of our community," Martin said.
The evening began with cocktails while guests looked over and bid on the many silent auction items. The silent auction item included dinners, artworks and home décor items donated by individuals and local businesses.
While shoppers looked over the items and visited, they were serenaded by the Dallas String Orchestra.
Martin opened the dinner by introducing the college's board of directors, the college's foundation board of directors and the Brilliance 2013 Advisory Board.
"These are the people that made all of this happen," Martin said. "We are in the business of changing lives and helping those in our community become a success."
After the dinner plates had cleared the tables, auctioneer Jeff Copelend took the stage to auction off 10 items donated by businesses and supporters of the college. The items included a mixed breed dog from the Ellis County SPCA and donated by Showbiz Cinema. By the end of the auction, "Showbiz" was ready to head home with his new owners.
Other items included a romantic dinner for four served by four "handsome" Midlothian firefighters; a gun package that include a Cobra Freedom pistol, DPS handgun license class and personal range instruction by Lt. Garland Wolf of the Midlothian Police Department. Other items included a vacation at a condo on the beach and Texas Rangers baseball tickets.
Dr. Martin and his wife had donated a catered dinner at their house. The final bid was $3,000, but there was a second bid for $2,800. Copeland struck a deal with the top two bidders for each to pay $2,800, thus bringing in the amount raised on the item to $5,600.
The premium prize for the night was a guitar signed by country performer Blake Shelton.
Before the bidding began, a video of Shelton signing the guitar was shown.
The bidding started of vigorously, not slowing until the price got over $3,000. With the bidding down to two bidders, Mark Singleton made the winning bid of $4,000.
At the close of the auction, the live auction raised $20,800 for college scholarships for Ellis County students.
"I am very pleased with the support the community has shown with the generous contributions for our students and their future," Martin said.

Author's note:
Comment. Please.
Chapter 5: Cry for the Memories
The hallways blurs around him as he runs faster, trying to get to Jane before- before what?No one heard Jane's scream, or if they did they took it as some weird prank or joke.
James couldn't be more disappointed in humanity at that point.
James knelt beside her, giving her room to breath.
"Jane?" she looks up from the floor, suddenly aware that she has
Cry because this is going to be the happiest of memory of her life.
"James?" All he wants to do is kiss her red puffy eyes and tell her everything is going to be okay. That everything will be fine.
"Are you ok?" he asks, sounding genuinely concerned for her.
Jane stumbles with her words, completely baffled by his concern, "I'm fine."
She looks so vulnerable, so easily hurt. But her eyes tell a different story, they finally reveal everything she has been through, they weep the memories she has fought to bury.
James mentally tells him to listen to her; to leave her alone, but he tells himself to screw it. He sweeps Jane up in a hug, tucking her into his chest, not caring if she finds it strange or awkward.
She doesn't say anything. She understands his actions, and lets herself cry.
Cry for the memories she couldn't save.
Cry for the memories she wish she could have.
Cry for the memories she wished never had
Cry because this is going to be the happiest of memory of her life.
This is a really good book. It made me want to cry when I read the ending. I mean, the story is all together sad, and it makes me hate child abuse even more. I absolutely despise the father, but you are supposed to, and that means you are a great author. I am very impressed, and I want to read more from you.

Orion gets compliance notice from stock exchange
Orion Energy Systems Inc. said Thursday it's not in compliance with listing standards of the NYSE Amex stock exchange because it didn't file its annual report on time.
The company delayed filing its annual report while awaiting an accounting ruling from the Securities and Exchange Commission on how to account for financing arrangements it has with customers that lease its energy-efficient lighting systems.
The SEC ruled last month that it agreed with Orion that the transactions should be accounted for as sales capital leases, which in effect will boost sales and profitability for the last fiscal year and the first three quarters of fiscal 2011, which ended March 31.
Orion says it has submitted a compliance plan to the stock exchange outlining how it will return to compliance with the stock exchanges standards by Sept. 28. The company said it plans to file its annual report by mid-July and will file restated results for the first three quarters "as promptly thereafter as possible."

Charlie Sheen says he plans on suing CBS, Warner Bros., and Chuck Lorre for breach of contract -- and he wants to back the money truck up straight to their door.
When asked if he planned on filing a lawsuit over the "Two and a Half Men" fiasco, Sheen told ABC this morning, "Wouldn't you? I don't have a job. I got a whole family to support ... They're gonna put [the money] on a scale and say, 'A little more, a little more. Add some gold! Add some gold! Bingo!' ... I'm here to collect."
As TMZ first reported, even among all this animosity, Sheen wants to do a season 9 and even a season 10 ... if they paid him $3 million an episode plus a $20 million signing bonus.
You can see the full interview below:
Wait ... there's more. Sheen did "Today" also, so you can watch that below ...
I love me some Charlie Sheen, but it really does make me sad to see him like this. In my opinion, if you're clean, why would you think it's ok to say some of these things - ON NATIONAL TV? I have experience with addicts and when I've witnessed them act like this, they are using. I hope you are telling the truth and that you are taking care of yourself. It would be a sad day if we lost you. I wish you the best, Charlie.
Funny how he is saying it is the responsibility of CBS and Chuck Lorre to take care of his family. Perahps he should of thought of taking care of his family and get some help before all of this new mess.
Someone needs to shut him up. He's annoying now and has lost all of his charm.
THEY'RE COMING TO TAKE HIM (charlie sheen) AWAY, HO! HO!
THEY'RE COMING TO TAKE HIM (charlie sheen) AWAY. HA! HA!
He was high off his ass in the first interview posted, no doubt... Chain smoking, eratic behavor, classic signs of cocain/ upper. No way he is sober... no way. I would have had my crew go to CVS or walgreens and get piss strips and drug tested him right there on camera just to call his bluff.
He ruined his life, as well as the rest of the crews.
How in the hell are you going to act like that, miss work, call out your bosses, and then expect to sue?
I hope he has reached his bottom but I doubt it.
While he is pissing away money maybe he can send me some :)
I swear this is looking back at John Belushi!! Charlie sits there for the long TMZ interview, he cannot sit still. He is wearing pants that look like they have stains all over them, he looks 60 years old. Those people hanging around him now will disappear as soon as they appeared when the money runs out, or he dies. I also find it very telling that Charlie is using the catch word "winning" all the time now. He calls AA people fools, trolls, and weak. Yet, a slogan in AA is "Stick with the winners", and Charlie although he hates those of us who are recovering (over 9 years for me) he wants to steal our catch words and use them like he made it up himself. He and John Belushi's lives are very similar right now, only Charlie has a chance still to get out of it. He is so angry right now (I went thru the same thing right before I got clean and sober, I hated everyone for "being against me") at everyone that is not bowing to him and telling him he is right in this, he is blaming everyone but himself for where he is right now. Even though he hates everyone in AA, and everyone who is telling him he needs to get help, he knows in his heart they are correct. I really hope he can get the people around him out of his life as they are not helping him, and gets back with the ones who CAN help him. There is still hope, Charlie. I hope you get it before what you are doing to yourself finally catches up with you. You cannot be the only one who is right in this, and everyone else who has been on this ride with you is wrong. Even you have to know there is something wrong with that kind of thinking.
Look, when I was using and would be called into the bosses office at work and they would tell me my name was picked to take a random drug test. They give you the paperwork and you have to go to the dianostic test place within a couple hours. SO, I would go to the health store first and tell them I "need something to cleanse my system out". Out would come the bottle of something that had creatine in it, cost about 30 bucks (9 years ago at least) and you drink it down. Then you fill the bottle up with water and drink that. FOR THE NEXT 4 HOURS OR SO, YOU WILL BE GUARANTEED TO PASS A DRUG TEST, OR THEY WILL PAY YOU TRIPLE THE COST OF THE STUFF!! I did that for years, and not one time did I get caught using. Not one time.
SO, if a regular person with a so so job can do it, I do not think for a minute that Charlie Sheen cant. He probably has a fridge full of the stuff. And yes, they make it to pass a hair follicle test, too. Look it up, people.
In that "Today" interview where Charlie takes out the AA book and reads a part of it to Chuck Levine like it is supposed to be some kind of hit to his way of living, he reads a part from page 417. The working of the AA program are pages 58 (How it works) to page 71. Before that is the forewards, The Doctor's opinion, things like that. After page 71 it talks about how to implement how it works into your life. AND, the page that Charlie was reading from was a personal story of someone who made it thru the program. There are many such stories in the back of that AA book and they are there to inspire. So, I do not get what Charlie was asking Chuck "and you know what I am about to say", he says. It makes no sense. But if you are a addict in denial who thinks he has cured himself "in a nano second" of addiction is not thinking clearly at all. I, for one, have seen it a hundred times. He and Christy from the show "Intervention" should get together, as they are on the same wavelength right now. Go and watch the Intervention show on A&E, Christy's story is there for you to watch. You will see the similarities.
Hear ye, hear ye, all you folks out there! Charlie is in withdrawal, that is what happens to people's bodies when they give up their substances.This will pass, given enough time. Stop all of this nonsense, and mind your own business. He is trying to tell the truth as he sees it,as to what really happened, and no one seems to be listening. Remember, withdrawal is very, very difficult. His personal life is his business,he is trying to defend himself against all of the ugly insinuations and rumors out there. Why is everyone being so nasty?Why is everyone so self righteous and opinionated, who said you were perfect, anyway?? This is his life, not yours! Is anyone slamming you for all the things you do or decide? Time to back off Charlie and give him space and time. Charlie, go home, stop talking to everyone now, and keep on your course. Good luck!
He's a bit pissed off at how other people (CBS) made a decision and blames Charlie for the decision. CBS pulled the plug on the money machine, they should own up and take responsibility. Pure and simple.
Blaming Charlie is wrong very wrong. He shows up for work on time and ready to work. CBS are idiots unplugging the money machine and blaming Charlie.
I think Charlie has a point, his personal life's choices are not in breach of his contract but CBS is in beach of theirs and should pay Charlie for his damages which are immediate and apparent to his image.
CBS would have fared better to keep quiet and salvage the rest of the season and talk to Charlie discretely. Any organization that goes public about their employees should be sued to their underwear.
They are not owning the decision just a bunch of cry-baby weasels. Bad on you CBS. I hope you loose everything you made on 2 1/2 men. Charlie made that show and made it entertaining, funny and
#1 show on CBS. Are these guys idiots or what? What's in their heads? Make the shows, make the money and shut up CBS. Charlie's the star. Biting the hand that feeds you is a shameful and disgusting show of betrayal by CBS to a person whom made billions (2.5) to be exact. A little loyalty, discretion and respect goes along way.
Bad move by CBS and I hope and pray Charlie wins his law suit and sues you into the stone age.
Has anyone noticed how much Charlie Sheen looks like Christian Bale's character in The Fighter? Maybe he can be in The Fighter II, if he doesn't die first. Does he not see how TERRIBLE he looks? I am a huge fan of Two and a half men but Berta and Evelyn can keep the show going. Anyone can play a drunk idiot!! He thinks he is God and now God is going to humble him. CBS will have to pay him some money but they don't have to put up with his **** anymore! Go get help, Charlie!
well i know "as a recovering addict" myself, it was always nice to hear a possitive before a negative. you know, they say, when you point your finger you have 3 pointing right back at ya...maybe we should try showing our love and support to help charlie instead of being judgemental and hateful, you would be surprised at how much farther you would get...

Support women's sports and SHARE this story with your friends!
As promised, espnW this week rolled out "The Power of IX," its special section devoted to the law that revolutionized women's sports in America and that turns 40 in June.
As expected, the site is attractive visually and has a compelling mix of stories, photos, videos and other multimedia content.
The material is overwhelmingly positive in tone, celebrating the achievements of women athletes who've benefitted from the sports opportunities and the changes in cultural attitudes that the law has provided.
A disclaimer that you may not hear much about as this section grows over the next few months: espnW has designated the Women's Sports Foundation as its official charity. A lengthy story about the espnW Title IX initiative in The Buffalo News over the weekend did not mention this, and I suspect the reporter did not know that.
You can find this disclaimer on the espnW about page, but it really doesn't say much. On The Power of IX homepage, you can link easily to the WSF site and make a donation.
I point this out not to be the skunk at the garden party, although it appears I will be. However, a lot of journalistic firepower is going into this project. ESPN.com writer Bonnie D. Ford has written about playing basketball during the early years of Title IX. It provides a valuable history lesson, not just for those of us who remember the days of pinnies and six-on-six rules, but especially for those who know nothing but female basketball the way it is played and seen, today.
Former Sports Illustrated luminary Steve Wulf, in the centerpiece of Tuesday's launch, wrote eloquently about how the law was passed, and what it's meant to so many women. Today, we have Katie Couric chiming in about the life-changing powers of Title IX.
The law, and its legacy, have become virtually impossible to view in any other way than how the doyennes of Title IX, and their inheritors, have framed it. In wondering if the lines between journalism and advocacy are being blurred, here's my own disclaimer:
I'm a journalist who's written about women's sports for the better part of two decades but who's critical of some aspects of Title IX activism. (I've written here at length about why Title IX's sports compliance three-part test is antiquated and needs to be replaced with a new framework for enforcement.)
From the early 1990s on, it has unfairly displaced some male athletes and places an illogical emphasis on equality by numbers that flouts the intent and spirit of the 1972 statute. To paraphrase others, Title IX is a good law with a bad interpretation.
This is an important distinction that has been ignored by Title IX activists for far too long, and I'll be curious if espnW addresses it at all.
In my initial reading of The Power of IX, nearly everything related to women's sports is made into a Title IX issue, even if it really doesn't apply. The "Sizzling Sibling Rivalries" tab features a photo of Venus and Serena Williams, who never played college tennis. A story on betting in women's sports focuses on the WNBA, which does feature college-produced players but has existed for 15 years because of the financial generosity of the NBA.
Also new is a video interview with U.S. soccer stars Julie Foudy (a former Women's Sports Foundation president) and Kristine Lilly about Title IX. There's no mention of accelerated development in elite youth soccer organizations that have nothing to do with Title IX. Lilly and the legendary Mia Hamm, in fact, made the national team before ever suiting up at North Carolina.
I understand espnW is trying to tap into a female audience with everything it does, and the tales of uplifting, inspiring experiences of athletic females go a long way toward serving this audience.
Not everything about women's sports is attributable to Title IX. Other important factors, like youth sports leagues, for-profit sports business entities and revenue-producing college sports, are conveniently left out. Football in particular continues to be blamed for the slow progress of women in sports. In fact, the most successful women's college sports teams — including those you will see at the Women's Final Four this weekend — tend to be at schools where the loathed but lucrative "King Football" thrives.
While football has plenty of its own problems — I think the Penn State scandal may be the ugliest episode in the history of American sports — it is not the enemy of women in sports.
The espnW package offers the opportunity to clarify all this. But the euphoria over Title IX has created an easy catchall category for women's sports that glosses over important issues I fear are going to be missed.
Support women's sports and SHARE this story with your friends!

Perhaps Mr. Probert needs a bit of a hand with virtualizing what to do with "all these transistors".
How about an OS in which the kernel runs on one core while user space runs on the others? If OS developers have been successful at slicing one cpu's day into time for the kernel and time for the user program, why should it be difficult to segregate these functions across multiple cores? Wouldn't the need to time-slice be greatly reduced?

So you found an exchange plan. But can you find a provider?
NPR, November 4, 2013
Consumers shopping for coverage on the new health insurance exchanges have been focused on the lowest-cost options. But some shoppers are trying to determine which plans offer the widest array of doctors and hospitals — and are finding that can be trickier than it sounds. John Batteiger applied for insurance coverage on the New York state exchange. But after he'd selected a plan, he had second thoughts: He'd forgotten to check if the plan he picked included a hospital near him. Batteiger is 54 and healthy. But all things being equal, he figures, why not make sure his neighborhood hospitals are considered "in-network" with his insurance plans?

New products on display at the American International Toy Fair, held in N
Some federal initiatives never seem to go away, and one of the longest lasting, and apparently least supported by the American public, is what some feel is the need for the federal government to protect our children from the adverse effects of excessive violence on TV. I doubt any issue has been researched and studied more extensively or has ever been the subject of more highly-publicized reports, and yet nothing meaningful has ever come of them, including one just issued by of all people the Federal Communications Commission itself.
It took our FCC three full years to compile and release its Congressionally mandated report during which time, the report indicates, the average kid watched almost 4,400 hours of TV, averaging just under four hours a day. And its conclusion is just about as wishy-washy as every other study undertaken. In effect it says, "Yes, excessive violence probably isn't good for kids and maybe someone should do something about it."
Excuse me, but didn't Congress do something about it eight years ago when it mandated the inclusion of the V-chip in all new family-sized TVs? Well yes, but, the study shows, putting the chip into some 140 million new sets over that time hasn't worked too well.
The FCC study references earlier ones that show that the V-chip, despite a rather major ongoing educational campaign, hasn't been a hit with consumers. One conducted just last year shows that 88 percent of respondents "did not use V-chip or cable box parental controls in the previous week," causing the Parents TV Council (one of several self-designated protectors of all children) to call the TV industry's V-chip education campaign "a failure."
Other studies cited in the FCC report show the majority of parents still aren't aware there's a V-chip in their TV. Of those who do know, the vast majority either find it too complicated to use or can't make it work, and most of the rest simply don't bother.
So what can be done? The report effectively throws the ball into the air. It suggests program providers adopt a non-violence prime-time block during which only child-suitable shows are offered, or totally revamp their scheduling concept by grouping violent shows in program packages which consumers might be able to block. This, of course, assumes that our current crop of pre-teen computer experts would not be able to defeat any such system. Importantly, the report offers no incentive for unregulated cable and satellite program suppliers to go along.
Similarly not offered is any way to encourage parents to simply take control of their children and restrict what they are permitted to watch. But that type of solution is never seen as the way to go as it would put the small but oh-so-vocal members of the children's anti-TV establishment out of the lobbying business.
This TWICE webinar, hosted by senior editor Alan Wolf, will take a look at what may be the hottest CE products at retail that will be sold during the all-important fourth quarter. Top technologies, market strategies and industry trends will be discussed with industry analysts and executives.

'Castle' season finale: Oh Rick Castle, you fool
Rick Castle, you are one silly, impatient man.
Listen, we get it. After two seasons of chasing Beckett around the playground, she got a new boyfriend and it wounded you. And that's totally cool.
We even understand your need to take a break from the working relationship the two of you have formed. We just wish you had paid a little attention to her reaction when you broke the news, because it clearly shook her.
Too bad you were oblivious to it. And your poker buddies didn't help matters by telling you she was a distraction.
Seriously, dude?
Two years of work and for what?
Or do you wish she had spoken up?
Let's discuss in the comments...
'Castle': Season 2 finale clips and clues
'Castle': Producer Rob Bowman on Dana Delany, Jerry Bruckheimer and 'CSI: Miami'
Molly Quinn on Beckett becoming a bigger part of Castle's life
Tamala Jones wants Lanie to get some lovin'
What just happened between Castle and Beckett?
Photo credit: ABC
I feel bad for Beckett. :(
The ending really sucked...
I LOVE this show so much, but it's killing me! Thank God it's back next year.
Noooooo! I really wish she had been able to say what she wanted to say. I mean, I get that they are only in the second season and they have to follow the TV Bible on how to write shows or something...but I would have liked to have seen them give it a shot.
Oh man! That SUCKED!!!
I mean the episode was great, but as a Caskett shipper... THAT TOTALLY SUCKED!
(As you can see I'm still in shell shock and can't come up any words other than "That sucked!" to describe how I'm feeling right now)
I want to hug beckett! Gah! That ending nearly killed me!!
Heartbreaking and leaving us wanting more...perfect ending! It's too soon for happily ever after!!
Loved the episode, if not absolutely loving the ending, I mean, of course I feel terrible for Kate ( and the gang...the shot of them all peering out the window trying to see what was going on, the Chief and Espo's wise words...they might take this news worse than the fans will!!) but I still think it's too soon for them to be coupled!
And yes, I will miss Demming and, not surprisingly, I already dislike Gina! (And the pattern holds true, Marisa!)
First of all, let me say that this is the episode I loved to hate. It was obvious from the start that there was a train wreck coming, that's the nature of the season finale and I'm okay with that. What really gets me about this ending though, is how Beckett's actions hit so close to home for me. She should stand strong! Take pleasure in what she has! Instead, she allowed Castle to pull her strings, and ended up throwing away a good thing, trading it for a dream. How many times have I done the same? Sabotaged a great relationship for the hope that some other guy might be better? And how many times has that other guy turned his back on me? This is why this ending is so poignant - I feel her pain as deeply as if it were my own. And that's what makes great television. The Castle crew spent the last two seasons getting me invested in the show and it's characters, then they send in Andrew Marlowe as the finisher to turn those screws and make me scream. Well done, Andrew. Well done all of you.
Thanks for all of the wonderful Castle scoop....I know you will keep it up through Season 3 and beyond!
Every time, when the people you are supposed to want to get together finally do, the show turns into crap.

A gang of students arriving for their Open Water Course had previously been enticed to eat shark. Similar to how the adventurous travellers sample insects on the Khao San Road, they thought trying shark meat was like a traveller rite of passage, but their eyes were soon to be opened to the full story. Ayesha Cantrell of Master Divers unfolds the horrifying truth...

How Do You Flip A 1-Ton Hamburger Patty?
By editor
Originally published on Tue September 4, 2012 12:38 pm
Good morning. I'm David Greene. This past weekend as many of us were firing up our grills to mark the end of summer, a Minnesota casino was outdoing all of us - grilling up the largest burger the world has ever seen. Weighing in at just over a ton, the 10-foot-wide burger was topped with 60 pounds of bacon, 50 pounds of onions and a lot of cheese. According to a Guinness World Records official, the burger, quote, "actually tasted really good." How do you flip a one-ton patty, you might ask? They used a crane. It's MORNING EDITION.

Local Releases: Surprise, It's An EP!
by Gavin Sheehan
Posted // 2012-11-16 -
This week, we've got a number of releases to look at, most of them with shows happening this weekend, which has made Saturday the must-see night for new albums. Delving into stuff under the radar, I'll start with the debut release from
Zombie Book Club
, a two-man band from Salt Lake City comprised of Sean Mckay and Willy Weyher. The band kinda appeared out of nowhere just a short time ago, mostly playing house gigs around the valley, which, let's be honest, if you're a garage band with the word Zombie in your title then house shows are the way to go. The duo released their self-titled debut album earlier this month along with a
music video
;�you should hunt them down and buy a copy while you can.
Next is the latest collaboration from local hip-hop performers
and Skip Sanders. Kon has been making the rounds the past coupleof �years, being one of the rougher emcees in the valley, while Sanders has been building his name on the down-low and slowly making his way up the ranks as a fine producer. The two have come together for their debut album:
Utah. Jazz.
The beats are really cool, grabbing old jazz themes with a hint of the popping vinyl for the rustic touch, while the lyrics hit the local beat hard. It's worth at least a listen, and you can download it off
their Bandcamp page
Switching over to folk, a surprise entry last week came from
David Williams
.�Williams has mostly been touring the west and playing live gigs around the state, but album-wise he hasn't had a new release of his own since 2009. The last album he worked on prior to this was the soundtrack for the film
in 2011, which later bled into the recent dramatic film
that featured Williams as the lead character. Last week, Williams threw a three-track EP called
The Catch
up on
, selling it for just $2. The album itself is a very different approach to his previous works, and an intriguing one at that; definitely worth checking out.
Another shocker that came out last week was a three-track EP from
Desert Noises
.�The now-four-piece indie-rock band from Provo have been riding the underground tidal wave since the release of their full-length album
Mountain Sea
last fall, touring heavily and making a strong presence felt across the country. But the band (seen above, courtesy of their Facebook) have become beloved in their hometown and seem as if they're about primed to pop into the national spotlight. So, it should be no shock that the scene immediately buzzed when their EP,
I Won't See You
, dropped last week on iTunes and on the group's
Bandcamp page
. You can also buy this little ditty for $2, and yes, it's worth the price.
Moving on to release shows, I'll start with one tonight from
Creature Double Feature
. The experimental two-man psyche band made up of Davis Johnson and Mason Johnson-Bros formed in the spring of 2012 and immediately hit the all-ages scene with shows at Kilby Court. That's about all there is to say on them for the moment, as the band haven't even been together a full year, but they've already cranked out a couple of singles and this full-length album,
Ground Zero
. The album has actually been out since July, but the duo are officially celebrating its release tonight at Kilby Court with Stag Hare, Salazar and Your Meteor. $6 at the door, starting at 7 p.m.
While I'm looking at Kilby, tomorrow night it plays host to a second release show from
One Way Life
, who we previously mentioned on the blog back in October and are finally celebrating their EP release. But they're not the only one happening that night, as there will also be releases in Ogden and Provo, and I'll start in Ogden with
Through The Fight
. This is a six-piece post-hardcore band featuring two singers who have earned their rock rep through shows and private events around Weber County, going to great lengths to prove you can do well without having to hit SLC very much. This month, the band will release their debut EP�
, which from the few tracks now out show that the band have the chops to be really great. They'll be releasing that tonight at Mojos, playing with Refuge, Like Winds To Sails, Flames Breach Our Mouths, The Shores Of Purgatory, Cries Of The Captive and More Than A Remnant. Just $7, starting at 7 p.m.
And then finally, in Provo, we'll see the debut release from
Tri-Polar Bear
. The two-piece indie-rock combo of Brad Warner and Chris Draudt have been making waves in Utah County for the past year, having a nice combo of loud jams and dance tunes, mostly as a mid-card band for the past few months. But the duo will upgrade their sound to main-event status this weekend as they release their debut EP,
. If the tracks online are any indication, this is one of those bands that have tons of potential and will only grow over time. You can snag a copy tomorrow night at Muse Music, as they'll be playing with The Danger Kids, The Signal Sound and Sepia Ria.
Love music, head out, buy local!
Currently 3.5/5 Stars.

Release Notes: This version includes plugin modules for IKEv2 EAP-AKA and EAP-MD5 authentication as well as basic support for vendor specific EAP methods using the Expanded EAP type 254.
Release Notes: IKEv2 repeated authentication (RFC 4478) was implemented to force, for example, EAP clients to periodically re-establish an IKE_SA. Support of IPv6 IPsec connections was fully tested, including seamless integration of ip6tables firewall rules. The Web-based strongSwan Manager now allows the interactive starting and stopping of IKE and CHILD SAs.
Release Notes: This release adds strongSwan Manager, a FastCGI Web application that interacts with the IKEv2 daemon charon via an XML interface. An SQLite configuration backend was introduced and will provide the configuration interface for strongSwan Manager in future releases.
Release Notes: Support of the IKEv2-based MOBIKE protocol (RFC 4555) allows dynamic IP address changes and multi-homing without re-establishing the IPsec tunnels. For IKEv1, the introduction of the rightallowany=yes option or, as an alternative, the right=%peer.foo.bar wildcard improves the re-establishment of IPsec connections after a dynamic address change in a host which registers its address with DynDNS.
Release Notes: IKEv2 now supports automatic HTTP- and/or LDAP-based fetching of certificate revocation lists using URIs extracted from CRL distribution points. CRLs can optionally be cached with the cachecrls=yes option. strongSwan now fully supports cookies in the presence of DoS attacks. New IKEv1 features include the addition of a special NAT-T Vendor ID that allows interoperability with Windows 2003 Server. The --enable-nat-transport option activates NAT traversal for IPsec transport mode.
Release Notes: This release has been thoroughly tested at the third IKEv2 Interoperability Workshop and beside the traditional IKEv1 capabilities, offers nearly complete support of IKEv2. New IKEv2 features are the assignment of virtual IPs via the configuration payload, the basic EAP authentication framework, as well as the implementation of the Online Certificate Status Protocol (OCSP).
Release Notes: This release features full XAUTH server and client support in conjunction with IKEv1 RSA or PSK Main Mode authentication. Verification of user credentials is possible either via a custom XAUTH plugin module or through XAUTH entries in ipsec.secrets.
Release Notes: This release features full XAUTH server and client support in conjunction with IKEv1 RSA or PSK Main Mode authentication. Verification of user credentials is possible either via a custom XAUTH plugin module or through XAUTH entries in ipsec.secrets. IKEv2 configuration of IPsec Transport Mode is now possible. IKEv2 reauthentication (reauth=true) has been implemented.
Release Notes: The implementation of the IKE Mode Config push mode allows interoperability with Cisco VPN gateways. By setting "modeconfig=push", strongSwan will wait for the peer to push down a virtual IP address that can be used within an IPsec tunnel. The default value of the new keyword is "modeconfig=pull". The command "ipsec statusall" now shows "DPD active" for all ISAKMP Security Associations that are under active Dead Peer Detection control.
Release Notes: Many new features have been added to the IKEv2 charon daemon: support for pre-shared keys, 3DES- or AES-protected RSA private key files, 3DES encryption for IKEv2, SHA-2 hashes in X.509 certificate signatures, automatic insertion of firewall passthrough rules for VPN traffic, IPv6-in-IPv6 tunnels, and dead peer detection with clear, hold, or restart options. IKEv2 now allows for mixed-mode authentication in which the VPN server sends a certificate, and VPN clients use personal pre-shared secrets.

The GOHP Certification is presented by:
The GOHP training and certification program is an expansion of existing industry recognized training programs and is a collaboration of AFE and AEE. The GOHP training is designed to provide energy management, sustainability and operations and maintenance training for government personnel and contractors operating Government High Performance Buildings.
This course will assist Building Operators and Facility Managers in operating buildings in accordance with industry best practices and standards, reducing energy consumption and costs, improving the working environment, and reducing the environmental impacts of government facilities.
The GOHP Certification examination confirms core competencies necessary for facility management and operations of government high performance buildings.
To raise the professional standards of those engaged in the operation and maintenance of government high performance buildings.
To improve the practice of high performance buildings by encouraging professionals to partake in a continuing education program of professional development in high performance building operations and maintenance. To identify persons with acceptable knowledge of the principles and practices of high performance buildings through completing the certification and fulfilling prescribed standards of performance and conduct.
To award special recognition to those energy professionals who have demonstrated a high level of competence and ethical fitness in high performance building operations.
The candidate for GOHP certification must meet one of the following criteria:
Education | Work Experience | |
High school diploma/GED | AND | 3+ years of experience in facility management, sustainability or operations/maintenance of commercial, industrial, and government buildings |
1 year or technical school or college | AND | 2+ years of experience in facility management, sustainability or operations/maintenance of commercial, industrial, and government buildings |
Bachelor's degree, Professional Engineer (PE) or Registered Architect (RA) | AND | 1+ years of experience in facility management, sustainability or operations/maintenance of commercial, industrial, and government buildings |
The effective practice of energy and sustainability requires in-depth knowledge of a wide variety of subjects. However, the candidate need only demonstrate the knowledge and ability to apply the essentials of building energy and sustainability to the satisfaction of the certification board.
To be awarded the GOHP designation, candidates must attend the Fundamentals of Facility Management for Government High Performance Buildings Seminar prior to taking the GOHP exam. A minimum pass rate of 70% on the examination is required. The certification director keeps examination scores on file for a period of three years. Applicants that do not receive certification status can request that their applications be resubmitted to the GOHP Board, if during that three-year period their exam score, education or experience level changes.
The examination will be administered by the Association of Energy Engineers.
Each applicant must complete the written exam. The applicant is given four hours to complete the exam. Dates and locations are determined by the GOHP Board. Candidates are notified of this information by the GOHP Director. The examination questions are based on concepts and experiences basic to high performance buildings for government operators from recognized tests and supplemental reading. The exam is open book!
A certification administrator will proctor the examination. This administrator may be an AEE executive, an educator, a testing expert or agency, or whomever the certification board deem appropriate. The certification will consist of multiple choice questions.
Grading is accomplished by the GOHP Director. Examinations are identified by number rather than by the candidate's name to assure confidentiality and objective grading.
