My Mother will be 87 in June. She has had Alzheimers for 10 years. When we could not longer care for her at home, she was placed in a great facility for Alzheimer patients. Through the 10 years, my Mother has been so very happy, cordial, loves music, dances, and loves people. On the other hand, she knows not her family, knows not what she eats, where to go, where to stay, and has to be shown and helped with all aspects of her care. I wrote my grief down on paper, and wrote a song called "Fading Memories", had it recorded, and thought I could really do some good for Alzheimers.
My father, Patrick Johnston, passed away at the age of 79 on December 20, 2011. He began to show signs of dementia in 2007. As he moved into the middle and latter stages of Alzheimer's disease, he would wander, have hallucinations and was unable to dress himself and perform toileting duties.
My name is Bakhus S. Six months ago I placed my Mother in a retirement home. With Alzheimer's, I had been taking care of her for the past 7 yrs, she has been with me all my 52 yrs. When John and Michele Law (The Laws) had asked me to write a song about this from a caregivers view, I couldn't do it, 2 yrs ago when they had asked me. After placing my mom at the full care home the song that they asked me to write poured out of me.

Men's Nike Free Run+ 2 Woven Running Shoes
The Nike Run+2 Woven Running Shoes are ready for restless feet. They're lightweight, flexible, and durable so that you can run with confidence and power.
With the FreeRun outsole, there are deep flex grooves that are super bendable for a natural, barefoot-feeling stride, while at the same time offering necessary traction and impact absorption. The fused Phylite midsole and outsole is made up of extremely lightweight materials, which also contribute to a smoother ride.
Thanks to Nike's experiments, which included pressure-measuring insoles that were taped to athletes' feet, they were able to find the natural landing ankle and how pressure throughout the foot shifts, and ultimately design one of the most innovative running shoes to date, this time with suede overlays instead of leather.

My son has been sneezing for the past few weeks and blows his nose constantly. How can I tell if he has allergies or just a lingering cold?
- Michelle
Seasonal allergies and the common cold can be so much alike that it's sometimes hard to tell the two apart. But look closely and you can find clues as to what's going on.
Ask yourself these questions to sleuth out whether or not your child has allergies:
If you suspect your son has an allergy, the only way to tell exactly what he's allergic to is to get an allergy test. This test can be performed on the skin (where an allergen is placed under the skin to check the body's response) or through a blood test.
If your son does have allergies, the doctor will recommend reducing exposure to the allergen and might also suggest an over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription allergy medication to relieve symptoms.
And if you determine that your son has a cold, check with the doctor before giving him OTC cold medicines. There is little-to-no evidence that they work and serious side effects are a risk, especially in younger children. Acetaminophen or ibuprofen can be given to relieve fever or pain.

AUBURN — A pair of Somali immigrants' voting rights were challenged at the Ward 1 polling place at Washburn Elementary School on Tuesday, a lawyer with the American Civil Liberties Union of Maine said.
A poll-watcher for the Republican Party challenged the women's citizenship, but did not go through with a formal challenge, according to Alysia Melnick, a lawyer with the ACLU of Maine.
Melnick said poll-watcher Gervis Legere, who lives in the precinct, questioned the women because they were registering to vote with the assistance of an interpreter. Maine law allows poll-watchers to challenge voters.
When Legere was told he would have to sign an affidavit swearing he had personal knowledge that the women were ineligible to vote, "he balked," Melnick said.
Legere told the Sun Journal that he "had a feeling" the women were not citizens but did not want to proceed with the challenge because he had no proof.
"I learned you can't go on feelings," Legere said.
Melnick said Auburn polling officials reacted properly and allowed the women to vote after checking their identification and having them sign an affidavit saying they were residents of the precinct.
The challenger, Melnick said, just kept saying he didn't think it was right that they should be allowed to vote without providing proof of citizenship.
"He said if they had been here long enough to become citizens, they should be able to speak English," Melnick said. "He had some philosophical differences over their need to produce proof of citizenship and the law."
The ACLU of Maine posted staff and volunteer lawyers at several polling places in the Lewiston-Auburn area after an Androscoggin County Republican Party memo surfaced last week seeking poll-watchers, challengers and strikers for specific voting places.
Shenna Bellows, executive director of the ACLU of Maine, said the memo raised the organization's concern that Twin Cities' polling places were being targeted and voting rights could be infringed upon.
"It raised our concern because it was just so unprecedented in Maine," Bellows said.
Bellows said Tuesday that the women being allowed to vote was a good thing and a good sign that Auburn election officials were handling things properly.
"We want people to know we are here to defend everybody's right to vote," she said. "We don't care which party you belong to; we want to make sure every eligible voter who wants to vote today can vote."
Bellows said the Auburn incident was the first that her organization had heard of statewide Tuesday, but there were complaints that clerks in South Portland and Durham had demanded identification from voters.
Bellows said nothing in Maine's voting law has changed and that Maine does not require voter identification and also allows same-day registration at polling places.
"There's definitely some confusion out there whether Maine's laws have changed or not, and the fact is they have not," Bellows said.
The challenges in Auburn appeared to be part of a nationwide trend at the polls this year.
Challenges, voter confusion and potential problems with provisional ballots in many key states were among the top Election Day concerns for voting-rights groups and the presidential campaigns themselves.
Voting-rights advocates pointed with particular concern to the tea party-linked True the Vote organization, which had pledged to dispatch thousands of monitors to polling places to guard against potential voter fraud.
"We know they have targeted purposefully African-American and Latino polling places," said Barbara Arnwine of the Lawyers Committee for Civil Rights Under Law. "Right now in several states, American voters' ability to vote is in jeopardy."
True the Vote President Catherine Engelbrecht, however, rejected suggestions that the Houston-based group would be overly aggressive or would issue false challenges.
"Contrary to various interest groups' statements, True the Vote has never been investigated or charged with intimidating voters," she said. "A poll-watcher's sole purpose is to monitor the process of our elections. They are trained to never speak with voters, only authorities within the poll."
Auburn Mayor Jonathan LaBonte n a Facebook post criticized the practice of challenging without proof and the GOP for installing poll challengers.
"Auburn is better than this and all of our citizens deserve respect. Period," LaBonte wrote. "The Republican Party better learn some class and respect in its handling of voting laws and regulations. I'm disgusted."
The Associated Press contributed to this report.

My favorite offering from Unibroue,pours a hazy yellow with a gigantic blooming head,the aroma was very spicey and smokey with a slight tartness in the finish.There is a nice sweetness to this beer,a nice spiciness in the middle and a fruity finish.I get this underlying smokiness to this beer its very appetizing,a true hand crafted beer.

Even a very slow pour will reveal a huge, foamy white head sitting atop this cloudy/golden brew. The maltiness & alcohol are big up front. Earthy notes and a hint of spice give la fin du monde a complex and dry finish. A definite classic out of Quebec.

A dangerous combination of delicious and strong. This is the most drinkable strong ale I've ever tasted. I would sometime like to sit down and drink three of these in a sitting.
Pours a hazy gold with a good-sized fluffy white head. Smells and tastes amazing; citric, fruity, spicy and yeasty! I'd put a Fin du Monde air freshener in my room if there were such a thing.
Amazingly smooth. This is my favorite in its category, and one of my favorite three beers... ever!

Appearance Absolute monster head. The bottle foamed over when I popped the top even though it had been sitting quietly in my fridge for a week. The body is an extremely cloudy example of deep yellow with a hint of orange.
Smell This is very interesting. The yeast comes out big in the aroma. It is well complimented by various spices, most notabley clove and garlic. Theres also a pleasing lemon scent.
Taste This is a real heavy hitter. The lemon flavor comes out a little bit more in the taste. The yeast is big and bountiful. The powdery spices take a back seat but are still present. This is an excellent representation of the style.
Mouthfeel Big, mouth-filling carbonation with this one.
Drinkability If you like BSPAs, you have to give this one a try. The Unibroue interpretation of this style is interesting indeed. It went down very well and left me wanting for more (I chinced and bought the 12 oz bottle).
Comments This one had a real hefeweitzen base, but goes off in its own direction rather quickly. An A for originality if nothing else. A must try for fans of the style.
Update I reviewed this shortly after joining the site in Aug 03 so decided to re-review it with a 2004 vintage. This really is a great example of a BSPA, and now after having reviewed over 200 Belgian Ales I am really able to appreciate the craftsmanship of this particular ale. Im raising the overall score from 4.3 to 4.5.
Update The 2005 vintage lacked that explosive head of yesteryear that actually kind of annoyed me but otherwise was just about the same. I really enjoy the unique garlicky character of the aroma. Two thumbs up a solid 4.5.

A: This is by far the lightest (in color and body) of Belgian Strong Darks that have really impressed me. Generally, I like this style big, full, and caliginous. La Fin du Monde on the other hand is a brilliant incandescent gold with a nice amount of lively haze and a super sticky white head.
S: Fetching clementine and banana aromas dominate, followed by cloves and medicinal phenyls.
T: Spicy citrus. Pear and mango enter the mix. Clove flavors continue.
MF: Smooth and creamy with kicking carbonation.
Drinkabity is extreme considering the ABV.

This beer gets really good reviews and anytime you have a highly hyped drink it can sway your judgement. I wanted to try this because of the recommendations. I'm not swayed on hype, I want results!
Served cold from a bottle in a witbeer glass.
When I first tried this my initial impression was to just judge the taste and no other factors. Just by taste alone it is good. Not great, but good. I'd drink it for sure but it doesn't blow me away. When you look at what's going on with this beer it become a bit more impressive. La Fin Du Monde has 9% abv and I surely couldn't tell that when drinking it initially... but boy will you feel it later on! That is quite impressive to me how they can blend it so perfectly.
LFDM definitely has a nice spice presence to it and it has the pleasant taste of fruits (apples, pear, and a little banana like you would get from a hefe). There's just something missing to me. I think its the mouthfeel. It just feels too liquid to me. I wish it had a thicker presence in the mouth like a good hefe. I think that would elevate it greatly for me. It's a good beer, but overhyped in my opinion. Of course many people may be judging this based on the "stlye" (tripel) and I'm not. I'm judging it as a drink alone. I haven't had many triples to compare it to to be honest but I'm sure its one of the best triples! Expertly blended!
Regardless, another beer tried! I have another Unibroue beer to review in a few days. Hoping for the best! :)

Poured into a Duvel tulip glass. Golden yellow, very vibrant color with a huge haziness that makes the beer extremely opaque. Very volatile, leaving an enormous, cloudy white head. The nose hits with some cooking spices, cloves, fruits and fruity esters, and a slight medicinal background. The taste follows through with heavy clove and banana up front, all based on the background of warming alcohol. Bubblegum comes through midway, as well as faint grape and orange. As the beer starts to warm up, I could taste some pear and sweet peaches coming out, too. Aftertaste is left with a nice helping of yeast and malty-bready flavors, along with a dash of clove and alcohol.
This is a well done tripel ale. Balanced extremely well and fairly complex - load of fruits and esters can be picked out of this one. Sweet, without being too sweet, and fairly mild on the palate for a 9% ABV brew. Bravo.

3.9/5 rDev -9.7%
A: Hazy yellow color with a rather big ivory-colored head that stays on for a while and leaves a nice lid of lacings.
S: A fine-tuned smell, complex with every piece at its place. Some gentle clove-like spices mix with pleasant fruit aromas of mostly tangerines and lemon peel. The wheat and fragile malts provide a nice clean background. Quite a lot of phenols and some alcohol. When tripels showcase smells like this, they are really great. Clean, refreshing and complex. Well balanced. (As a note, you could almost feel the gas in the nose from the carbonation in this one).
T: Gentle spices (mostly cloves) and fruit esters of tangerine, pear and lemon peel lead the way to a nice semi-sharp malt and wheat character. It's a kind of sweet taste, but the spices act as a good counterweight. Bread crumbs, grass and a mild taste of earthy yeast. The wheat gets a little more pronounced towards the end, resulting in that semi-tart taste sometimes noticeable in wheaty beers. The finish holds some notes of herbal alcohol, phenols, a gentle spicy hop bite and bitterness and lingering fruity notes. In general, a complex and well balanced taste.
M: Moderate body, nice slick mouthfeel with a generous amount of lively carbonation.
D: Tripels are probably my least favorite style of the high ABV Belgian styles, but I think I can go as far as saying that this is one of the best tripels I've ever had. Complex and balanced, yet with plenty of that Belgian edginess. This one is really easy to drink, but deserves to be sipped and savored at a gentle pace.

Reviewed from notes on 8/28/10 with BuckyFresh and TCGoalie. Thanks for the bottle, Bucky!
A: Pours a light gold with a pure white, 1 finger head into a snifter. The carbonation and color combine to give this beer a highly effervescent and glittery look. The lacing is good and reminds me of spindly tree limbs.
S: A cornucopia of fruits and spices reside in the smell of this beer. Lots of spicy Belgian yeast, lemon, lemongrass, prickly pear, pepper, golden delicious apples, clove, mineral water, and numerous other aromas waft out of the glass. This smell is fresh, fresh, fresh, and sings of a golden, dewy spring morning. Warning: Do not suck this beer into your nostrils. It feels very uncomfortable.
T: The dominant taste in my mouth is lemon. This is backed by grassiness and a peppery zing. Spicy yeast and fresh pear also grace my palate. This is a very bright and shiny taste which wears on my palate a bit as time slip slides away. In all, though, it is pretty well balanced with a nice emphasis on the spicy yeast.
M: Nicely clean and tingly on my mouth. However, it was a little thin and watery for the style and quite bright on my palate.
D: The bomber split three ways was probably enough for me. I enjoyed it very much but the brightness and faux sweetness of the taste was pretty wearing on my palate. This will be a once in awhile treat for me.

Served in a chalice
LOOK (4.5/5) This poured a darker golden color with some orange tones when held up to the light. It was a little more opaque than some other beers of the style, particularly the Westmalle. However, I think this was a really nice venue for the rich color. The only flaw in this category, I think was the brew's white head that rose quickly, dominated by larger bubbles than I would have liked, only to fade at a somewhat disappointing rate.
SMELL (4.5/5) The smell was initially dominated by the yeasty esters and phenols. The bouquet was pretty fruity, but was followed quickly by some deep spicy overtones and some citrus. There was also a nice wheatiness to the smell.
FLAVOUR (4/5) As with the smell, the beginning was dominated by the sweet fruitiness, which was balanced nicely with some very subtle malt flavors. The only problem here is that the brew took a quick turn towards the harsh alcoholic flavour before the yeast spices overpower that. Some great warming, not too hot.
FEEL (5/5) Very effervescent on the tip of the tongue in the initial taste (almost reminiscent of the more carbonated Belgian Ales, like Duvel in this respect). This transitions to a wonderful fullness as it washes to the back of the mouth. This balances the spiciness of the esters.

By Tom Lindley
CNHI News Service
— If your interests lean toward American history and college sports, a recently released documentary about the Civil Rights era in Alabama and the vaunted Crimson Tide football program is a must-see.
Paul Finebaum, the noted Southern author and sports commentator, had this to say about "Three Days at Foster," a reference to the name of an auditorium on the Alabama campus.
"Simply an unforgettable film . . . (writer-director) Keith Dunnavant has taken one of the seminal moments in the Civil Rights movement and peeled off a new layer that is both haunting and gut-wrenching," the new ESPN sports figure wrote.
There are many levels to the piece, but in the end it tells the story of the clash between Gov. George Wallace's segregationist beliefs, ones shared by many in the Deep South, and sweeping changes affecting college football and Alabama's love for the Crimson Tide. The passions of race and rivalries were on a collision course where there would be no easy resolution to an accepted way of life in the Heart of Dixie.
Football teams across the land had begun recruiting black athletes to their teams, but in Wallace's state, the governor was hard at work keeping black students out of classrooms on the Tuscaloosa campus. The showdown came on June 11, 1963, when Wallace blocked two black students from enrolling for classes at Foster Auditorium until federal troops cleared a way to a registration table inside the gym.
That historical event also turned out to be a triggering moment for the integration of the University of Alabama sports programs and furthered a change in the land's social, political and cultural fabric that to this day is both amazing as well as revolutionary.
Much of Dunnavant's work deals with legendary Alabama coach Paul W. "Bear" Bryant and the earliest black players, many of whom were mere footnotes in history, and how they came to join the once all-white team. They weren't the famous All-Americans that would wear the crimson jersey in years to come, but guys who liked the game and didn't see why the color of their skin should disqualify them. There was Dock Rone and Andrew Pernell and Arthur Dunning -- maybe not huge physical specimens by today's standards, but gritty athletes who could play.
They weren't scholarship guys, just walk-ons who weren't afraid of walking into a previously all-white locker room. Talk about courage. None ever made it into a regular season game, although two did play in a spring scrimmage – a point some may see as trivial, but an achievement that truly wasn't.
Their efforts – and perhaps awareness by Bryant that Alabama's competitiveness on the national stage was threatened – led to changes. The introduction of black players to the team proved at least two things: They could play and they could be teammates.
Getting fans across the state to accept it, however, would be another obstacle. But as former Alabama sports information director Kirk McNair said, "Those old rednecks wouldn't challenge Coach Bryant." When it came to powerbases in Alabama, there was Bryant and there was Wallace, and the governor knew not to tangle with the Bear.
Actually, it was basketball coach C.M. Newton who signed Wendell Hudson in 1969 to an athletic scholarship, the school's first to an African-American. Recruiting a black player had Bryant's blessing. Later that year, assistant coach Pat Dye convinced Wilbur Jackson, a running back from Birmingham, that Alabama was right for him and he was right for Alabama. Assuring Jackson's parents was a tougher assignment, but Dye proved persuasive. The Tide had turned.
The informative and captivating documentary features dozens of interviews with coaches, players, sports writers and even a cheerleader, each adding valuable insight and detail. The name – "Three Days at Foster" – refers to separate events: The Wallace-staged blockade, a gripping story about a black high school basketball player from Huntsville who leads his team to a state championship in a hostile environment, and a late-in-life moment where Jackson returns to campus with his daughter.
The documentary lasts about 80 minutes and can be rented online for $4.95, through an Internet film service called Vimeo on Demand.
It's a championship effort by Dunnavant, who allows "Three Days at Foster" to expose dark times in Tuscaloosa that ultimately give way to a brighter day, not only for a team but a state.

This Skyscraper Infographic Reveals the INSANE AMOUNT of Unoccupied Space in the World's Tallest Buildings
From architizer
Skyscrapers have long been a contest of sorts. Owners are secretive about the actual height of their buildings, so that others do not eclipse them before their time as tallest has come. The tricks that designers use to inflate tall buildings' heights are impressive, too. Spires and decorative elements are often used to get those last few precious feet.

Pritzker-Prize Laureate Remment Lucas Koolhaas (you probably know him as "Rem") turns 68 today. The co-founder of one of the world's most renowned architecture firms, OMA, and an urban-planner/philosopher whose theories have provoked admiration (and ire) for over thirty years, Koolhaas is undeniably one of a kind.
In honor of the occasion, today we'll be bringing you all things Koolhaas: a fabulous article by former New York Times critic, Nicolai Ouroussoff, a Round-Up of all of OMA's latest works, an original ArchDaily editorial, and this list of quotes from the architect himself – some poignant, all provocative (this is Koolhaas, after all). Such as this gem: "People can inhabit anything. And they can be miserable in anything and ecstatic in anything. More and more I think that architecture has nothing to do with it. Of course, that's both liberating and alarming…"

By 2050, it is estimated that the world's population could reach up to 9 billion people. It's already become increasingly difficult to sustain our food systems, as we outgrow our supply and continue to deplete farmland. So what is the answer to this frightening dilemma?
Belatchew Arkitekter came up with a shudder-worthy solution: bug farms.
The Swedish firm has designed an alternative to Stockholm's protein production problem by developing a way to farm large quantities of edible protein within the city's fabric. "Buzz Buildings," named in part because of the insects that will call the donut-shaped structures home, are also inspired by the beautiful soundscape created by the thousands of crickets farmed there. In total, there will be nine round structures, skinned in a perforated steel exoskeleton, and located at nine different major intersections in the city. The buildings, 10,350 square meters of farmland, will ultimately be able to provide the projected 940,700 inhabitants of Stockholm by the year 2018, with plenty of bugs to sustain them.

Selgascano and Urban Design conceived the winning competition proposal for Tekniska Nämndhuset, a new Municipal Building in Stockholm, Sweden. The Madrid-based practice gently lifts the structure above the ground to offer a partially covered pedestrian plaza. Behind the building's soft, rounded edges are perimeter greenhouses filled with lush vegetation on every level which are visible through a translucent façade. The resulting impression is a contained bubble of green plants gently hovering along Sweden's highway during all four seasons.Greenhouse terraces wrap each level to become activated social spaces for gardening and lounging. Enveloped with an interior glass wall, offices border the greenhouses to give employees a connection with living trees and shrubs no matter the season.Images Selgascano and Urban Design

"Endless CIty" A concept of a building that has its own ecosystem
Conceptual artist Arne Quinze
designed a 15-story structure
named "Uchronia" at the Burning Man festival
in Black Rock City, Nev., in 2006.
The structure, which was quickly dubbed
"The Belgian Waffle," was burned during the closing hours of the annual event.
A 60-foot-tall piece of scaffolding wouldn't ordinarily draw much attention, but in the summer of 2010, more than a half-million people went to marvel at just such a thing: Doug and Mike Starn's "Big Bambú: You Can't, You Don't, and You Won't Stop." Consisting of 7,000 bamboo poles continually hand-tethered by a crew of climbers into a humongous wave form, the temporary structure on the roof of New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art offered visitors a spectacular view overlooking Central Park. In a matter of weeks at the 2011 Venice Biennale, another version of Big Bambú spiraled up out of the water over the Grand Canal. At Rome's MACRO in 2012, a third installation by the Starns spiraled to a vertiginous height of 130 feet and featured a double-helix staircase leading up to an auditorium that could accommodate 50 guests—suspending them high above the eternal city using nothing but sticks and rope.

First JOB Hunt: Architecture students are constantly beset by questions concerning where they want to work
Architecture students are constantly beset by questions concerning where they want to work, and for what type of firm – and these two questions often boil down to a decision concerning the size of the firm they want to work for. This article, originally posted on Arch Shortcuts thankfully makes this difficult choice a little easier. In it, blog Co-Founder Udit Goel reviews the pros and cons of big firms and small firms, including compensation, expected working hours, and responsibilities

From the architect. This project began with an interest in challenging the typical notion of the parking structure as an unappreciated infrastructural typology by transforming the new Eskenazi Hospital parking structure into a binary, synthetic terrain. During the design process, an interest in camouflage evolved into an approach that would create a very large dynamic, interactive element for the City. Rather than an actively kinetic approach, with all of the inevitable maintenance and longevity concerns that accompany those types of project, we were instead working towards an approach that capitalizes on the fact that most viewers would, themselves, be moving on bicycles or in automobiles. Thus, the design ultimately became something that offers a degree a variability of color and form as one passes by the project. The awareness of this, interestingly enough, occurs whether someone is directly watching or even just seeing it out of their periphery of vision

Final destination: Lady Terriers headed back to state finals
Fri. February 15, 2013 at 11:11 p.m. | By Kelly McElroy/Staff Writer

The Kimmy G and Jalapeño Peña Show rocked Buddy Marcello Stadium on Friday night.
Vandebilt Catholic soccer stars Kimberly Grasso and Makelle Peña each recorded a hat trick (three goals each) to lead the Lady Terriers to a sixth-straight trip to the Division II finals with a 7-1 semifinal victory over Lutcher in Houma.
Not only have their teammates dubbed the senior duo with affectionate nicknames, they also look to them as two of the team's undisputed leaders.
"They are the epitome of leadership," Lady Terriers coach Philip Amedee said. "That is the difference. You have two girls who can take control of a soccer game, and they came out determined they were going to take control. They have great talent, great ability, great leadership, and they are very determined.
It really showed in the way they played."
The No. 1 Lady Terriers improved to 26-2-1 overall and will face No. 3 Ben Franklin in the Division II title match at 11 a.m. on Saturday at Tad Gormely Stadium in New Orleans, and No. 5 Lutcher, just in its third season of playing girls soccer, ended its season at 17-7-3 overall.
"I am proud of the season we had. These girls fight and fight and fight. You have to give it Vandebilt, they are a really good team," Lutcher coach Neta Bourgeois said. "We told our girls it's 0-0 the whole way, and I felt they gave it their all and did the best they could."
After cracking some early shots and not connecting, the Lady Terriers went ahead 1-0 in the fourth minute when Peña made a long run and found Grasso in front of goal for the 1-0 lead.
"We have been playing together since we were little," Grasso said of her on-field connection with Peña. "We just know how to work with each other and the runs we each make. It's good to have that connection with someone on the field."
Lutcher was unrattled and answered right back when Abigail Lubrano found Lutcher's top goal scorer Kassidy Zeringue for the equalizer 11 minutes in.
That, however, was the last time Zeringue got free of the Lady Terriers defense in the match.
"We were aware of where she was all night long," Amedee said of Zeringue. "We were determined we were not going to let one player beat us. We kept an eye and a body on her all night and never let her run free on us. That was one of the keys to the game. We talked all week long about how Lutcher is gutsy, and they got here by never giving up."
The Lady Terriers then retook the lead in the 20th minute when Peña gathered a pass in front of goal and sent it in the back of the net for a 2-1 advantage.
"We knew they were going to come in with some intensity. We knew we had to score on them quick. They came back on us with that goal, and then our defense stepped up and was like a brick wall," Peña said. "We had to just keep that intensity up the whole game."
Lady Terriers senior defender Carly Ellender, another of the team leaders, then delivered a throw in that Peña received in midair with her head and sent into the back of the net for a 3-1 lead in the 24th minute, and Vandebilt took a 4-1 lead in the 34th minute when Grasso sent in a shot after Lutcher failed to clear it from goal.
Just after halftime, Vandebilt went ahead 5-1 when Peña got loose on a breakaway and scored in the 43rd minute.
After numerous other chances for the Lady Terriers later in the second half, they finally broke through against Lutcher goalie Chelsea Roussel for two goals in the final 2 minutes.
Grace Champagne snuck a ball in near post with a little flick after a long run and pass from Grasso, who added her third goal of the night just before the final whistle on a shot in front of goal.
Marianne Clark got the victory in goal for the Lady Terriers, who will now focus on taking home a state title after three state runner-up crowns the last three seasons. Vandebilt won its only two girls state soccer titles in 2008 and 2009.
"We just have our keep our mind set this week. We have to approach it just like every other game, but we know it's another level," Peña said. "The stakes are higher. It will test our whole year and how we have prevailed. I believe we can accomplish anything as a team."
Lady Terriers senior defender Carly Ellender said it will be a week of hard work at Vandebilt.
"We have a whole week of training to prepare for this game, and it will be the hardest that we have ever worked," Ellender said. "We are ready."

Local news channels and talk shows are showing and telling stories of people clearing store shelves of plastic and duct tape. There appears to be near panic in some portions of the east coast. More on this article.
Vulnerable Population Registry
Planning for the needs of vulnerable populations during a disaster is a key component of public health emergency preparedness planning. At risk or vulnerable populations are often those who live independently or with the help of a care giver and yet may need additional assistance in the event of a disaster, especially in the area of transportation. These populations include, but are not limited to, those who are disabled, frail or have significant health issues.
Fargo Cass Public Health has created a pre-registration system for all of Cass County to help identify where those individuals who are most vulnerable can be located, and if necessary, assist them in relocation to a safe place until they can return home.
How to Register
Registering into this system should not be considered a guarantee that you will be placed on a priority list for emergency responders; however it will make us aware of your individual situation and help us to be better prepared to assist you.
If you may need assistance during a disaster, register today by calling 701-241-1360 Monday-Friday, 8 a.m. - 4:30 p.m.
What to Do When Someon You Know Needs Treatment
It is daily that personnel of the West Fargo Police Department are faced with situations relating to a person's mental health or chemical dependency issues. An estimated ninety percent of those booked into jail have difficulties related to chemical dependency. In June 2009, 628 prisoners entered the Cass County Jail. During the intake process 190 were identified as needing further treatment for mental health problems. Chemical dependency and mental health are the two most common underlying factors relating to a person's involvement in the criminal court system. ND Supreme Court Form SFN 17260

CNHI News Service
— Agreement averts strike on Syria, at least for now
(The New Castle News, New Castle, Pa.)
All things considered, we're glad the United States is taking no direct military action in Syria.
At least not yet. Officials in the Obama administration warned that an agreement forged with Russia over the status of Syria's chemical weapons is only as good as the actions of Bashar Assad's regime. The threat of future military moves remain on the table if Syria does not comply.
What to do about Syria in the wake of a confirmed sarin gas attack on civilians poses a problem for the international community. We have held that doing nothing poses risks of its own in terms of encouraging future attacks by Syria and other nations.
But the Obama administration faced a variety of hurdles in its call for military action against Syria. While some of this opposition may have been politically motivated, a very legitimate and practical question loomed over the administration's efforts: What, precisely, would be accomplished by a strike on Syria? With the administration saying the intent was not to remove Assad or turn the tide of Syria's civil war, and the ongoing debate giving the regime time to hide potential targets, it was difficult to define the goal of such a mission.
President Obama is now drawing criticism from several factions, accusing him of looking weak and disorganized in his handling of Syria. No doubt some of this criticism is warranted. But we suspect the Russian proposal — quickly accepted by Syria — to have chemical weapons removed from that country was a result of Obama's threat of military action.
Perhaps the president achieved a strategic victory of sorts without engaging America's military.
None of this, of course, does much to resolve Syria's future. It remains unclear whether the Assad regime will survive the ongoing civil war. Waiting to be addressed is how the world will deal with Assad if it's formally determined his government gassed its own people.
And even if there is no direct military intervention by the United States or its allies, the option to aid rebel groups continues to be viable. That, however, presents the problem of how to support anti-Assad factions friendly to the West without opening a door for radical Islamic groups.
This is indeed a puzzle for America and its allies. But it's also one that ultimately must be resolved by Syria and other Middle Eastern nations dealing with similar leadership and power concerns. They must decide if they want societies that thrive and grow and debate issues peacefully, or if they will endure under repressive overlords demanding total control.
The West can aid democratic efforts in these countries, but they cannot dictate them.
An open letter response to Putin
(The Mankato Free Press / Mankato, Minn.)
Dear Vladimir (you don't mind being called Vladimir, do you? Since you used the New York Times op-ed piece to get closer to us Americans, we figured you wanted to be less formal),
Now that we're pen pals (at least with help from your PR firm, Ketchum), let's talk a little more about those things that seem to concern you — Syria, international law and the American psyche.
Your professorial observation that Syria is not a battle for democracy but an "internal conflict, fueled by foreign weapons supplied to the opposition..." is interesting. But one has to wonder where Damascus is getting its Russian-made S-3000 missiles, MiG-29M/M2 and MiG21 jets and those Russian Mi-8 and Mi-17 helicopter gunships as well as Russian-made Mi24/25 attack helicopters that can drop 250 kg bombs.
And while we can agree that chemical weapons were used in Syria, frankly we're a little confused by your insistence that "there is every reason to believe it was used not by the Syrian Army, but by opposition forces…" Hmm. Not Syria?
Syrian president Bashar Assad initially denied even having chemical weapons, and then his foreign minister says, 'Well yes we do, and by the way, we want them under international supervision. And we'll sign the pact barring use of such weapons, something we've resisted for years.'
Vladimir? Come on. Give us a little credit here. We've seen the Wizard of Oz too and won't fall for that "man behind the curtain" ruse.
But frankly the one area you may want to revisit is your chiding us for our feeling of being exceptional. You say it is "extremely dangerous to encourage people to see themselves as exceptional, whatever the motivation. … We are all different, but when we ask for the Lord's blessings, we must not forget that God created us equal."
Does this view mean we're all created equal, including gays and lesbians? Does this mean you are standing down your enforcement of anti-gay propaganda laws? Or you will release the members of Pussy Riot from the penal colonies where they have been imprisoned for "hooliganism" after performing a punk prayer? Or maybe you'll release Russian lawyer Sergei Magnitsky, who blew the whistle on Kremlin insiders who profited by defrauding the Russian government of $200 million taxes only to end up in prison?
Yeah, we're still feeling pretty exceptional, because while we have our faults, we have the freedom to complain about them without fear of imprisonment or worse. And people are still knocking on our door to enjoy our freedoms. How about you?
But getting back to your op-ed piece, we're glad you are open to engaging in constructive dialogue. We hope you will extend that courtesy to our foreign diplomats who are looking to end the bloodshed and gassing of Syrians.
All in all, you seem to be pretty confident in your ownership of what will work in the Syrian conflict. We don't see an easy out, but frankly, if you want to take over this Syrian mess, it's all yours. We know a bad situation when we see one. We bungled it thus far. If you have the answer, go for it.
Just don't expect an invitation to our Fourth of July barbecue.
Your exceptional Americans
