ELNORA — The road to a championship almost always involves overcoming obstacles and a little bit of adversity.
On Monday night at the North Daviess Softball Sectional, Barr-Reeve eventually got the biggest break of all, a long home run off of the bat of sophomore Molly Wallace to claim a 5-4 victory over North Daviess.
In the early going, the Cougars got off to a quick start.
Wallace, who also started on the mound, issued a leadoff walk to Larynda Keith. Keith eventually scored on an Ashley Troutman single. Troutman later scored in the inning after a hard hit smash by Brook Lindy got underneath the glove of Viking shortstop Jenna Knepp.
Down 2-0, the Vikings scratched out a run in the second inning.
Briona Miller hit a sacrifice fly to left, and Henley Dant, who had earlier singled, scored to make it 2-1.
North Daviess added to their lead in the bottom of the fourth inning as a Cassie Knepp single pushed the margin to 3-1.
In the fifth inning Barr-Reeve's Tanisha Graber singled, and moved to third on another single by Kendra Yoder. Courtney Pruett then singled to make it 3-2.
Jenna Knepp continued the rally with a single to score both Yoder and Pruett, and the Vikings had a 4-3 lead.
A bit of controversy struck in the fifth inning that eventually threw the outcome of the game into doubt.
It appeared Molly Wallace forced Larynda Keith to bounce out for the first out of the inning. After a discussion, the umpires ruled that Wallace had thrown an illegal pitch, and ordered Keith back to the batter's box.
Wallace eventually hit Keith with a pitch, and Barr-Reeve coach Darren Kenney made a pitching change as Elaina Kavanaugh took the mound.
After a sacrifice bunt landed Keith on third, a balk was called, allowing Keith to score and tie the game at 4-4. Kavanaugh was called for another balk in the inning, but the Cougars could not cross another run.

The Andrews Institute Ambulatory Surgery Center is a beautifully constructed 26,000 square foot medical pavilion which includes eight digital operating rooms with multi-specialty surgical capabilities.
Sixty-five percent of the surgical procedures performed at AI are orthopedic, and the vast majority of orthopedic patients receive a regional anesthetic as part of their comprehensive perioperative care. In 2012, anesthesiologists at Al performed over 2000 ultrasound-guided regional anesthetics, including over 1100 continuous ambulatory perineural catheter placements. Common blocks performed at Andrews include interscalene, supraclavicular, infraclavicular. axillary. popliteal, femoral. saphenous, and TAP. Since our USRA preceptorship courses are held on the busiest block days, the result is an incredible opportunity for preceptors to witness a vast number of blocks, while interacting with the experts as they perform these procedures.

I work on mostly fire alarm drawings and for instance i have 4 different horn strobe symbols (one facing each direction) and i would like to make just one symbol that when i place it into a drawing i then after placing it decide what direction i want it to face. i am figuring that i need to do something when making the block that i am using. someone please help. Thanks.
Solved! Go to Solution.
No need for anything special, when INSERT, it will ask you. Move the mouse and that's it.
ok yea i know how to rotate objects but i need to have the letter inside of the object to stay while i rotate the object to whatever side i need it to be on. i want a block that i pull off my tool palette, place, and then determine what way the symbol will face, while keeping the letter inside the block facing the correct way.
Create a dynamic block
Hi using a dynamic block is your answer.
I to work on fire systems & have now got one dynamic block to replace many standard blocks. I added a rotation action to the horn so that the central part stays the same as does the text & attributes. I did have to "play around" with it at first but now it works well.
I also added to the end of the visibility state name the part number of each type, added an invisible attribute made this a field which is the visibility state name so that you can get a list of the different types using data extraction.
Good luck took me some time but worth the effort.
thank you i will give it a whirl.

The Tucson Police Department arrested four women, and are looking for a fifth suspect, believed to be involved in a theft ring that shoplifted more than $100,000 worth of merchandise.
The investigation started in August 2012, after four women allegedly robbed CVS stores around Tucson on six to eight separate occasions.
Detectives learned the women were part of an organized retail theft ring that was responsible for 20-30 large-scale shoplifting cases that targeted businesses including Safeway, Walgreens, Ross, and Charming Charlies.
The women allegedly stole large quantities of cosmetics, jewelry, accessories and clothing. They would give the items to other people who would then sell it at the Tanque Verde Swap Meet.
The following women were arrested:
-Jessica Rodriguez, 25
-Melesia Romo, 31
-Veronica Munoz, 33
-Karla Castro, 20
Tucson Police have a warrant for Karina Ortiz, 27, but have so far been unable to locate her. Anyone with information is asked to call 911 or 88-CRIME.

It's getting bleak for Alabama hoops.
Mark Gottfried and his staff have revived NC State's basketball program in part by earning the trust of some of the country's top recruits.
Mark Gottfried said Thursday that he hasn't decided who will join his four veterans in the starting lineup against Miami (OH) on Friday night.
On Wednesday, ESPN The Magazine published a great piece on Mark Gottfried's rebuilding job at NC State. His offense has been a big key.
Mark Gottfried, C.J. Leslie, and Richard Howell will appear on ESPNU Wednesday during the channel's coverage of the ACC's basketball media day .
NC State finished up an undefeated run through Spain with an 86-71 win over Gran Canaria Select on Monday. Nobody got hurt on the trip and there were no fisticuffs, and that's all I need to...
Bruce Weber isn't the first to be fired from one BCS school and picked up by another, but the list is short.

The King James Bible is not a good bible.
Furthermore, your fantasy about Puritans using the King James Bible are just that, fantasy. The Puritans explicitly rejected the King James Bible and refused to use it. They used the old, and less politically tied, Geneva Bible. In fact, the Geneva Bible remained the most widely used Bible in America until the 19th century, in part due to copyright issues with the King James, and also because people were against anything associated with the British Monarchy and hated King James!
Indeed the main reason for its adoption is the one that you display right here, a simple attraction to the "old sounding" language. The attraction of the King James Bible is that its in a language new enough for Americans still still be able to read it, yet old enough to "sound old" to English speakers.
It's also amusing that a Catholic would have such affection for the book, you do know it's history right?
The whole reason the book was commissioned was to create a translation for the Church of England, in opposition to Catholicism. The translation was in fact premised on correcting "Catholic errors".
It contains politically motivated translations as well, and of course contains many errors that have long been corrected in newer translations.

Gonzaga made its first appearance in the NCAA Tournament at the end of the 1994-95 season. Ever since then, despite all the tournament games, poll rankings and slots on national TV, there are some people who simply missed the memo about how to pronounce the school's name. Oklahoma State coach Travis Ford is apparently one of those people.
Ford sat down in Thursday's pregame news conferences – a time for media members to ask players and coaches about their upcoming game the next day – and in his opening statement revealed his Gonzaga ignorance. Ignorance about the team's name, at least.
"I'm just excited to be in San Diego, going against a really, really good team that's playing great basketball right now – Gonzaga," said Ford.
But it was HOW he said Gonzaga that raised a few eyebrows in the SWX cubicles. Yes, he said "Gon-ZAUGH-guh." Like "saw". Not like "aggie". He said it. And I wonder how many more times this week we'll hear it.
Will they ever get it right? Perhaps it's just time to let it go (cue the Disney music).

The Tennessee Titans open training camp on Friday, July 27 with a giant question mark under center.
Veteran QB Matt Hasselbeck is penciled in as the starter under center, but 2011 first-round pick Jake Locker will be given a chance to win the job in camp.
Locker was billed as a project when he came into the NFL, but he'll be expected to make a big step forward in his second year, especially considering what other high first-round picks at the position have given their teams in recent years.
Whoever wins the job will be counting on a rebound year from Chris Johnson, who had the worst year of his NFL career (1,047 yards and 4 TD's) after missing all of training camp in a contract dispute and eventually receiving a $53 million extension.
On the other side of the ball, the Titans will be counting on the addition of DE Kamerion Wimbley to improve their pass rush.
For more coverage of the Titans, check out Music City Miracles.

Christmas for someone who has everything. December 28, 2012
I bought this for my brother and his wife. They don't need another wine gift basket or breakfast goodies. I just wanted to find something different and this was it. They received it in plenty of time and absolutely loved it. Thanks Gift Tree!
Interesting and delicious December 22, 2012
The hot chocolate "balls" are delicious, and the hand-carved frother is interesting and fun to use. The only critique I have is that you need a small pot, and a reasonable quantity of liquid to be able to "froth" the hot chocolate properly. When following the directions for just one or two people, the liquid was not deep enough to really use the frother effectively.

Disregarding the supercomputing community's insatiable thirst for FLOPS (floating point operations per second), the Baltimore-based Johns Hopkins University is configuring its new machine to achieve the maximum number of IOPS (I/O operations per second) instead.
The novel design will be better suited to the kind of data-mining-oriented scientific workloads processed by today's supercomputers, argued Alexander Szalay, a computer scientist and astrophysicist at Johns Hopkins' Institute for Data Intensive Engineering and Science, who is leading the project.
[ Also on InfoWorld: IBM warns of challenge to U.S. supercomputing leadership. | Stay ahead of the key tech business news with InfoWorld's Today's Headlines: First Look newsletter. | Read Bill Snyder's Tech's Bottom Line blog for what the key business trends mean to you. ]
"For the sciences, it is the I/O that is becoming the major bottleneck," he explained. "People are running larger and larger simulations, and they take up so much memory, it is difficult to write the output to disk."
The U.S. National Science Foundation (NSF) has provided $2.1 million for the system, called Data-Scope. Hopkins itself is contributing $1 million as well.
Thus far, 20 research groups within Hopkins have indicated they could use the system to study problems in genomics, ocean circulation, turbulence, astrophysics and environmental science. The university will also allow outside organizations to use the machine. Data-Scope is expected to go live by next May.
FLOPS measures the amount of floating point calculations a computer can do in a second, an essential tool for analyzing large amounts of data. But IOPS measures the amount of data that can be moved on and off a computer.
By maximizing IOPS, the new system will "enable data analysis tasks that are simply not possible today," the researchers stated in the proposal.
Today, most researchers are limited to analyzing datasets only up to 10 terabytes in size, while larger datasets, such as those that are 100 terabytes or more, can only be investigated by a handful of the largest supercomputers. Hopkins' novel configuration of hardware might offer a lower cost way to analyze such big datasets, Szalay said.
The machine, once built, will have a total I/O bandwidth of 400 to 500 gigabytes per second, approximately more than twice that of the fastest computer, Oak Ridge National Laboratory's Jaguar, on the Top 500 ranking of the world's most powerful computers.
Data-Scope, however, will only offer a peak performance of about 600 teraflops, far short of Jaguar's 1.75 Petaflops.
In Hopkins' design, each server will have 24 dedicated hard disk drives as well as four solid state disks, which in total can provide 4.4 gigabytes per second across the chassis bus directly to two GPUs (graphics processing units), which will do much of the calculations.
Overall, the system will have about 100 of these machines and about five petabytes in storage total.

Over 150 drink driving arrests in Avon and Somerset in June
4:29pm Monday 7th July 2014 in News
MORE than 150 people were arrested during Avon and Somerset Police's summer drink drive campaign.
The campaign runs throughout June and this year 158 people were arrested on suspicion of drink driving.
This summer the police have been reminding motorists to ensure they are safe and legal to drive the following morning in addition to not driving home after drinking.
The arrest figures for the operation suggest there have been a number of arrests the following morning as well as in the evening or overnight. 131 arrests were made between 7pm and 6am, 7 arrests were made between 6am and 9am and 17 arrests between 9am and 7pm.
Chief Supt Ian Smith said: "This year we have published figures for the times of day that arrests were made to highlight the fact that some drivers could still be over the limit the following morning and that we carry out stops throughout the day and evening.
"If you are out in the evening enjoying a few drinks this summer make sure you have arrangements in place for getting home, such as a taxi or a lift with friends, and ensure you leave plenty of time for the alcohol to leave your system if you are driving the next day.
"Drinking and driving can lead to collisions and cause serious injury or death and we will look to prosecute anyone found to be over the legal limit. The message is simple, don't drink and drive."
This year's drink drive campaign has also formed part of a range of activities carried out by police in relation to the World Cup. With the late kick off of some matches, officers warned anyone having a few drinks while watching the match to ensure they were aware of how much they had to drink if they were driving the next day.
Chief Supt Ian Smith added: "Tackling drink/drug driving will continue throughout the summer. Although we run a specific awareness campaign in June, as part of a wider national campaign, the work to prevent drink and drug drivers and help make our roads safer goes on all year round.
"Driving is a privilege not a right and those that abuse that privilege will be targeted."

A young woman is still recovering from a car accident.
On July 29, 2012, Sarah Gebhardt, 15, was on her way to Bozeman with her brother, Jake, when she got into a car accident that left her in a coma.
"And so we like drove on straight towards the left side of the road and we rolled off," she said. "And yeah, I kind of blacked out."
Sarah was treated at St. Vincent Healthcare's Pediatric Intensive Care Unit for a serious head injury and multiple fractures.
After waking up from her coma, she remembers being confused about where she was. She then went through physical therapy.
"I remember like the first time sitting up and I was kind of on my own, kind of not," she said. "It just like made me so happy. I think that was the first emotion I remembered."
Sarah says her fast recovery probably comes from her sources of support. St. Vincent tries to keep patients close to their loved ones.
"Those families that live close can be here and be where it is home and where it is familiar instead of a strange place where they don't have a support system that they normally would being close to home," said Brynde Vallevik, clinical supervisor in pediatrics and one of Sarah's nurses.
Sarah says she considers the nurses her friends.
"I went up to visit her a few times. She came down to visit me a few times. She's still more of a friend than a nurse."
And her brother, Jake, encourages her to be better.
"I've seen her to where she is now," he said. "But it's really hard for me because being her bigger brother, I've seen where she was before the accident, so I expect her to get back to there and I'm hard on her that way."
Sarah sees her brother as her biggest source of inspiration.
"When he got out of the hospital, I was set on getting out," Sarah said. "And then when he was going to school, I wanted to go to school even though I hate school. I was like set on trying to recover like he did. I wanted him to be proud of me because he's my brother and him being proud of me is like the second best feeling in the world."
St. Vincent is currently the only hospital in the area that has a Pediatric ICU, allowing patients like Sarah to remain close to their sources of support.

I can't install VMwarePlayer 4.0.3 on Ubuntu 12.04 64Bit. For Version 4.0.2, I found a script that I have to run and after that I could install 4.0.2. Is there an similar solution for Version 4.0.3?

Keep Mr. O'Donnell at East Lake High School!
It has recently been brought to the attention of the staff and students of East Lake High School that the School Board of Pinellas County is not renewing Mr. O'Donnell at East Lake High next year. This is a poor choice on their part as they will not find anyone who is as passionate about their subject as Mr. O'Donnell is. Mr. O'Donnell teaches 10th grade World History and 12th grade AP European History. He teaches with great zest and enthusiasm, which is rarely seen in teachers nowadays. He makes it easy to enjoy history, an important aspect of our society. Most students do not enjoy learning about events in the past, but he makes learning these usually tedious subjects interesting and entertaining. I have never seen anyone more passionate about working with teens than Mr. O'Donnell and I have not encountered one student who doesn't enjoy his classes. Teachers should not be hired, or fired, because of their age or how expensive it may be to employ them (is this age discrimination), but because of their ability, or inability, to teach their subject. Mr O'Donnell is, in my opinion, one of the most able teachers in our school, if not the county. It would be a great loss to the school if Mr. O'Donnell were to be fired. If Florida wants to improve it's educational system, they are not going in the right direction by firing someone as brilliant as Mr. O'Donnell. Wouldn't it be more cost effective to let go of teachers who are not doing as excecllent a job as Mr. O'Donnell and to continue to employ those who, like Mr. O'Donnell, know what they're doing and are good at doing it. The following people sincerely urge you to reconsider your decision regarding the employment of Mr. O'Donnell.

Daily Dispatches From The Global Scene
Festivities for the fifth anniversary of Viktor Horsting and Rolf Snoeren's smash-hit fragrance, Flowerbomb, kicked off in Paris in March with a star-studded party at Le Meurice. Last night's New York birthday bash was meant to be a little more low-key. "We wanted something intimate and private," said Horsting, as he toasted the duo's floral-scented eau at an emptied-out town house on Grove Street.
But if the setting was different, a let-them-eat-cake attitude made the trip across the Atlantic with the Dutchmen. After an hour of cocktails and canapés, revelers like Shalom Harlow, Cecilia Dean, and Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin were escorted to an outdoor courtyard for a three-song set by Alison Goldfrapp, singing sans band for the first time.
Blame it on her Spring 2010 tulle-embellished bodysuit—or the amps that projected her disco-fueled jams throughout the residential block—but Goldfrapp got an impromptu shower courtesy of a disgruntled neighbor's hose. "I'm sensing a Marilyn moment," Erin Wasson yelped as the designers joined the performer onstage and tiered tea cakes in the shape of Flowerbomb fragrance boxes were rolled out into the yard. Sure enough, a breathy rendition of "Happy Birthday" followed.

Oxford United women look to girl power
8:00am Thursday 15th May 2014 in Sport
Oxford United women's manager Les Taylor plans to give youth a chance as his side take on FA Women's Super League 1 leaders Notts County in the Continetal Cup at Abingdon United tonight (7.45), writes MATTHEW BRUCE.
Winger Katie Stanley is out with a back injury and Taylor could hand opportunities to 16-year-olds Ella Franklin-Fraiture and Chloe Bruce for the Group 3 clash.
It's Oxford's second game in the competition, having lost their opener 9-2 at Bristol Academy Taylor said: "We've got three or four of the under 17s who've done particularly well in their own age group.
"They've played in the development games and they're knocking on the door of the first team. I'm sure one or two of those will be involved."
And Taylor admits it will be a big test for his players against a Notts County side boasting England internationals such as Ellen White and Rachel Unitt.
He added: "When you go into games like this we've got nothing to lose, because on paper we should lose.
"If we get any sort of result against Notts County that will be a massive plus for the team and the players."
Oxford Utd: from Cox, Mobbs, Hines, Osborne-Ricketts, Chivers, Stanley, Allison, Caswell, Pickett, Pinker, Low, King, Nutman, Connor-Iommi, Lane, Lambourne, Lowder, Franklin-Fraiture, Bruce.

Sometimes, I wonder how you manage.
This week, school bells will ring and the 2014-15 academic year will begin. Some children welcome it, others don't. Parents also likely have mixed feelings about the start of another term.

Exceptional Blood Loss – Anemia
For purpose of consideration of the use of hyperbaric oxygen (HBO2) therapy, exceptional blood-loss anemia is by definition loss of enough red blood cell mass to compromise sufficient oxygen delivery to tissue in patients who cannot be transfused for medical or religious reasons. Medical reasons may include the threat of blood product incompatibility or concern for transmissible disease. Religious beliefs may prohibit the receipt of transfused blood products.
Red blood cells (RBCs) contain the respiratory pigment hemoglobin (Hb). Hemoglobin has the powerful ability to pick up oxygen as RBCs pass through the blood vessels of the lungs. Hemoglobin then has the equally powerful ability to off-load oxygen in the tissues of the body's organ systems. If plasma were the only vehicle to deliver dissolved oxygen, each 100 ml of blood flowing to an organ system would carry only 0.3 ml of gaseous oxygen. The consumption of oxygen by human tissues far exceeds this. For instance, the kidney extracts approximately 2 ml of oxygen for every 100 ml of blood which circulates through it. From the same 100 ml of blood, the brain extracts approximately 6.5 ml and the heart 10.5 ml of oxygen. In most instances, humans average 15 grams of hemoglobin per 100 cc of blood. Each gram of hemoglobin transports 1.34 ml of oxygen. This is in addition to the oxygen carried by plasma. So, 100 ml of blood, by containing 15 grams of hemoglobin, can carry approximately 20 ml of gaseous oxygen (1.34 ml X 15 g Hb = 20 ml of oxygen).
In the 1960s, the Dutch thoracic surgeon Boerema demonstrated that one could exchange transfuse piglets with a simulated plasma mixture of buffered normal saline (Ringer's Lactate solution), dextrose and dextran. In this process, blood was removed from the blood vessels and the substitute liquid (without hemoglobin) replaced. He then pressurized the piglets in a hyperbaric chamber while the animals breathed 100% oxygen. By the trick of pressurization, enough oxygen could be dissolved in the simulated plasma mixture to supply tissue oxygen requirements. This was enough to adequately sustain the animal, as evidenced by the fact that the animals survived and could be brought out of the chamber to be successfully re-exchange transfused with their previously extracted blood.
As hyperbaric oxygen (or for that matter normobaric oxygen) administered for long periods can become toxic, intermittent administration of HBO2 is essential. This point has been demonstrated clinically by the American thoracic surgeon, George Hart. In 1974, he reported a series of 26 severe blood loss patients who were treated with HBO2 as an alternative to otherwise disallowed red blood cell transfusion. The survival rate was 70%. Alternative approaches include use of fluorocarbons or stroma-free hemoglobin. While potentially promising, these treatment solutions still pose uncertainties for their potential ability to unfavorably alter the immune system. While erythropoietin may be used to stimulate the bone marrow to produce RBCs, HBO2 therapy only complements its use in exceptional blood-loss anemia.

There's an underrated aspect of the Belmont Stakes that was brought up at SB Nation's horse racing blog, And Down The Stretch They Come, this week and it has nothing to do with the race itself. Instead, Animal Kingdom has a chance to lend legitimacy to a completely different thoroughbred bloodline and, perhaps, alter the sport for the better in the future. As it stands now, American horses are meticulously bred, and right now, Mr. Prospector's line is dominant.
But all that can change if Animal Kingdom is able to produce. The diversification of the bloodline, if breeders show a willingness to move away from Mr. Prospector's tree, is seen as a great thing by TFTribe, who wrote the following FanPost at And Down The Stretch They Come.
If Animal Kingdom can make LEROIDESANIMAUX not just a legitimate stallion, but an influential one, that is nothing but good for horse racing. One of the major issues that industry commentators always bring up is that the thoroughbred has been bred so specifically that they are now fragile. Well, focusing on one major lineage certainly cannot help that problem.
It's interesting, and a storyline that goes deeper than just the race. Give it a read for more information on the bloodlines and why he thinks an Animal Kingdom win -- which he believes is a real possibility -- would help the future of horse racing in America.
Look back on our 2011 Preakness StoryStream to get up to speed To look back at the Derby, check out SB Nation's 2011 Kentucky Derby StoryStream. Also, our horse racing blog And Down The Stretch They Come has two must-read resources for Belmont fans: A Beginner's Guide To Following Horse Racing and a glossary of horse racing terms.

WILMINGTON, NC (WECT) - The Port City is no stranger to heroin. According to data from Wilmington Police Department, 192 heroin arrests
were made in Wilmington in 2011; 316 arrests were made in 2012; and 332
arrests were made in 2013.
"It's use in our community has certainly grown," stated WPD Spokesperson Linda Rawley in an interview Tuesday. "We make a lot of drug arrests. We certainly run into a lot of people that are using it, and it is dangerous."
On Monday U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder referred to overdose deaths as "an urgent public health crisis." Holder called for law enforcement agencies nationwide to equip their officers with naloxone.
Dr. Heston Lamar, Medical Director for New Hanover County EMS, explained that naloxone is an antidote to heroin and other opiates. It comes in the form of nasal spray or in a syringe.
"It is a reversal agent that basically blocks the effects of opiate pain medications on the body," Lamar said.
Rawley said the WPD's insurance provider is considering letting officers carry the antidote now.
"It's certainly something our chief and our department is interested in looking into," Rawley said. "Our attorneys need to look at it from a liability standpoint. It's not every day you have officers administering (drugs). You know, that's not something we do right now."
Dr. Lamar said he sees overdoses in Wilmington far too often these days. He said it seems like there is a heroin overdose once a week.
"It's shocking how often our EMS providers in New Hanover County use (naloxone) and resuscitate people from heroin and other types of opiate overdoses," Lamar explained.
Rawley said officers carrying medicine will be a great benefit to the community if it is approved.
"As a law enforcement agency, whatever we can do to prevent the death of someone from these drugs, we want to get involved in doing that," said Rawley.
Rawley explained there is still no timetable as to if, or when, officers will be allowed to carry the overdose antidote.

This shoe was comfortable right out of the box. It works well for cooler/cold conditions.
- room for toes
- flexibility
- comfort
I was impressed with how comfortable these were right out of the box. And after only a week wearing them they are the most comfy shoes I have.
Decently lightweight, yet solid construction. There is a separation and change in materials where your foot and toes flex. This area of thinner material really allows your foot to flex easily. Seems to have decent room for my toes to spread out as well.
I have only walked through snow for roughly 15 minutes so far, but I was kept dry.
If I have a decent sock on and I am moving, it could keep me warm in the 30's, maybe 20's for prolonged periods. There is no insulation, but the leather and waterproof membrane stop quite a bit.
Decent looking boot with a pretty clean design. There is a design patch of rubber near the bottom that makes it look as if your shoe is always wet there.

As white settlers and prospectors pushed westward in the latter half of the 19th century, displacement of Native Americans from their ancestral homelands became commonplace. One of the most tragic episodes of exile was the Long Walk in 1864, when Kit Carson rounded up 8,000 Navajo and forced them to walk more than 350 miles from northeastern Arizona and northwestern New Mexico to Bosque Redondo, a desolate tract on the Pecos River in eastern New Mexico. Presented by the Heard Museum Guild.

Welcome to the National Federation of Opticianry Schools web site. The National Federation of Opticianry Schools (NFOS) is the national organization dedicated to the promotion of formal opticianry education offered by accredited educational institutions. Formal education is fundamental to the credibility of the Optician as a vision care professional.
The NFOS is a nonprofit organization whose members represent formal Opticianry education in the United States and Canada. One of cornerstone ideals of the NFOS is the sharing of knowledge, to that end we have developed this website for the dissemination of information for the optical community.
From the President
On behalf of the National Federation of Opticianry Schools and myself, I would like to extend a sincere thank you to Essilor for their recent sponsorship and lectures in Dallas, Texas on February 27 – March 2, 2014.
Essilor's generous sponsorship has enabled the NFOS to continue to expand formal opticianry education and to meet the current trends in the ophthalmic industry. Essilor's All Star line up of speakers, coordinated by Ms. Danne Ventura provided the latest information on cutting edge lens technology.
As educators, this information on the lens technology is vital for our students to keep up with the latest innovations in lens design and performance.
A special thanks should go to Mr. John Carrier, CEO of Essilor, Dr. Howard Purcell, Dr. Ray Tahran and to all the presenters, staff and lab personnel who made our visit both enjoyable and educational.
Of course I would be remiss if I didn't mention Ms. Danne Ventura who has always supported formal opticianry education.
