There are many benefits to you of EFT certification. Here are some of the many reasons to get certified in EFT through EFT Universe:
1. The EFT Universe web site is one of the largest complementary medicine sites on the internet, and shows up on one of the top slots on a Google search. Certification gives you an affiliation with one of the most-visited online sites, with far more internet traffic than you'll see from your own site.
2. We encourage certified EFT Universe practitioners to write articles for our newsletter. Each month, our EFT Universe newsletter reaches hundreds of thousands of subscribers. Its circulation grows by thousands of subscribers each month, giving you visibility to new potential clients.
3. Our EFT Universe certification is based upon Clinical EFT, an "evidence-based" practice that has been validated in over 21 clinical trials. EFT Universe certification gives you the confidence that you are learning a set of skills grounded in the fundamentals in The EFT Manual, as well as sound science.
4. We support our certified practitioners with publicity. We have a dynamic publicity team that spreads the word about EFT; each month, their efforts produce reviews in magazines, web sites, and other media. For instance, O: The Oprah Magazine, ran a piece on "emotional acupuncture" that concluded with the words: "To find practitioners, visit www.EFTuniverse.com." Our radio show now reaches over 400,000 listeners, and often mentions and interviews EFT certified practitioners. Click here for a selection of those news stories.
5. EFT Universe certification is becoming recognized among US government agencies; it is advocated during Dawson Church's visits to congresspeople, and his contacts with officials in large government healthcare organizations. Click here for more.
6. Many of the workshops listed on the EFT Universe training schedule provide CE credits to mental health professionals such as Marriage and Family Therapists (MFTs) and Licensed Clinical Social Workers (LCSWs), and medical professionals such as nurses and acupuncturists. Click here for more.
7. Among the institutions at which EFT is taught are the University of California at Berkeley, Old Dominion University, Chigago School of Professional Psychology, and JFK university. EFT Universe certification has a recognized academic base.
8. Many professionals in large healthcare organizations such as Kaiser Permanente, the Veterans Administration, and Sutter Health have gone through EFT Universe trainings. Our goal is to see increasing numbers of healthcare workers in these systems gaining EFT Universe certification.
9. The Certified Practitioner pages on EFT Universe get hundreds of thousands of visitors a year. Potential clients can easily discover your services once you are listed as a Certified Practitioner on EFT Universe.

Family wait to hear outcome of crucial tests
1:00pm Tuesday 8th January 2013 in Wantage/Grove
THE family of a six-year-old girl struck down with brain cancer and blindness face an anxious wait for critical tests that will determine her future.
Mikayla Beames, of Chapel Way, Wantage, was diagnosed with a tumour two years ago when her eyesight began to fail. She fought back and endured frequent bouts of chemotherapy to stave off the life-threatening condition.
But in February the family will find out if Mikayla has Neurofibromatos, also known as NF1, a genetic disorder that causes tumours to grow in the nervous system.
It could mean that the little girl is forced to abandon chemotherapy due to her weakened condition.
Despite the uncertainty, mother Natasha said the family had enjoyed its happiest Christmas in years with a break from the almost constant bouts of treatment.
The youngster even had time to present the charity Clic Sargent with a cheque for £424 in December following a night of fundraising.
The money was raised by Mikayla during the Wantage Dickensian Evening over the Christmas period.
Mrs Beames said: "Now it is just a waiting game for us. We'll see a consultant in February and go from there. If they tell us she has NF1 then we have some big decisions to make. She takes it all in her stride. She is a fighter."

Fight goes on for boys home site
12:52pm Wednesday 12th February 2014 in News By Bill Tanner, Reporter
HERITAGE campaigners have vowed to fight on for Hereford's former working boys home.
English Heritage confirmed today (Wed) that it was not going to list the Bath Street site – now the County Offices.
Herefordshire Council is keen on selling the site to Hereford and Worcester Fire and Rescue Service for a much-needed new fire station for Hereford.
EH says the site is not of "sufficient architectural quality" to merit listed status.
The decision is a blow to heritage campaigners fighting to save the site sale and demolition.
But Hereford Civic Society (HCS) says the fight goes on.
"While HCS is disappointed it doesn't alter the situation. This group of buildings makes a huge contribution to the character of Hereford. To pull down sound buildings to make way for a garage for heavy vehicles is fundamentally unsound, and is not the best financial deal," said HCS chairman John Bothamley.
"The current intention, we understand, is to demolish the existing fire station for use as a car park. It would make sound sense to create additional car parking on top of the existing car park behind St.Owens Street and to the side of the Shire Hall, just one or possibly two layers," said Mr Bothamley.
"We remain of the opinion that the two prominent buildings, to the front of the site, should be retained and the rest of the site developed with flats - surely there are suitable sites for the fire service on the new Link Road," he said.

PONCHATOULA- When rain drops start falling, and keep falling like today, it usually means another hurdle for strawberry farmers, right behind cold. But for Richie Howes, there's no worry, because his berries this year are in a makeshift green house.
"The whole concept behind it is to maybe offer something a little bit different, to be able to dodge the elements inside the house, stay a little bit warmer in the winter and actually keep the rain off the berries."
The typical method of growing strawberries in this area is in fields, where they're covered when it's cold and susceptible to disease and fungus when it's too wet. Howes, instead, pots his plants, keeps them off the ground and under a tent of visqueen, which stays open at the bottom for circulation, until it gets too cold. He has an irrigation system, fans for when it gets too humid, and a bee hive for pollination. He says this process requires less chemicals, is more economical and, so far, turning out tasty strawberries, but it hasn't been a simple process to develop.
"You can get to a point where you can do towers where you can do six times as much in house as you can on regular ground," he said. "So it has the potential, just learning the do's and don'ts."
Agricultural experts in the area say they don't believe anyone else has tried this method of strawberry growing and they say a key to have a variety of different berries. Howes has three.
"Just hoping it's going to work out for the future and maybe introduce something, a concept or idea that even if I don't know, someone else can pick up on and make it better, especially the younger farmers," he said.
And whether this remains an experiment or becomes an industry staple in the area, Howes says he's just fortunate to be able to try.
Howes is a fourth generation Ponchatoula farmer and is also this year's Strawberry Festival king.

Rushville Republican
Rushville Mayor Mike Pavey recently welcomed two-time Pulitzer Prize winning historian and New York University Professor David Lewis to Rushville to discuss Rushville's role in shaping 1940 Republican Presidential candidate Wendell Willkie and the impact Willkie has had on the City of Rushville, the State of Indiana and the United States.
Lewis came to Rushville to do research for a new biography on Wendell Willkie to be published in 2014. Civic leaders joining Mayor Pavey for lunch at the Park Restaurant to discuss Willkie with Professor Lewis included former Rushville Mayor John McCane; Franklin County GOP Chairman John Worth; Rushville City Council member Brian Sheehan; long-time Rushville native Mrs. Luella Goins; representatives of the Rush County Historical Society, retired Rush County High School teacher Al Hodge and Will Cameron; as well as Willkie grandson and Rushville native David Willkie.
Professor Lewis heard stories of Willkie as well as testimonies of his role in history, especially his understanding of the nature of economics, trade and employment; advocacy for a united front in the face of World War II; and promotion of individual freedoms and liberty for all people, ideas that were ahead of his time.
Lewis also learned how the Willkie family has continued to be an integral part of this community. Ê
During his tour of Rushville, Professor Lewis visited the Willkie home, the Willkie gravesite at East Hill Cemetery and the Rush County Historical Society Museum. He also visited with local businessman Paul Barada Sr. and Rushville native Ed Pribble.
Professor Lewis was drawn to Rushville after seeing the CSPAN Contenders program on Wendell Willkie, which was broadcasted from Rushville last fall. In addition to visiting Rushville, Professor Lewis travels to Indiana also included trips to Elwood and the Lilly Library at Indiana University.

We might have abandoned the Lido a few days ago, but somehow festival organizers felt able to go on with the final awards ceremony without us this evening. With a jury led by Darren Aronofsky that also included David Byrne, Todd Haynes, Mario Martone, André Téchiné, Ejia-Liisa Ahtila and Alba Rorwacher, it was anyone's game, although for much of the week, talk had pegged Steve McQueen's "Shame" and Yorgos Lanthimos' "Alps" as potential front-runners for the big prize, the Golden Lion. However, the winner turned out to be something of a surprise, albeit one that buzz was tipped off to in the run-up to the awards.
Aleksandr Sokurov's "Faust," a retelling of Goethe's tragedy, and the final part of a four-part series about men of power, following pictures focusing on Hitler ("Moloch"), Lenin ("Taurus") and Emperor Hirohito ("The Sun"), was awarded the Golden Lion by Aronofsky a few minute ago. We had to miss the film ourselves, but word was wildly divergent, with European critics raving, but British and American ones left distinctly cooler by the project. It follows in the footsteps of last year's controversial winner "Somewhere," along with recent victors like Ang Lee's "Brokeback Mountain" and "Lust, Caution," Aronofsky's "The Wrestler," Israeli war flick "Lebanon" and Chinese film "Still Life."
Indeed, despite an English-language-heavy competition line-up, international films won the bulk of the awards. Surprise film "People Mountain People Sea," which we found rather dreary, won the Silver Lion for director Cai Shangjun, while two other Asian entries took top acting prizes; Yeanie Tip, in her first role in years, won the Coppa Volpi for Best Actress for "A Simple Life," while Shota Sometani and Fumi Nikaido shared Best Young Actor for Sion Sono's tough-watch post-tsunami drama "Himizu."
Michael Fassbender deservedly took the Coppa Volpi for Best Actor for his role in "Shame," one award that we can firmly get behind, and the start of what looks to be one of the most uphill-battle awards campaigns in recent memory, what with Fox Searchlight guaranteeing a push for the Irish/German star for the Oscars this year. Two of our favorites of the festival, Andrea Arnold's "Wuthering Heights" (read our review here) and Yorgos Lanthimos' "Alps" (and review here), also took prizes, the former for Robbie Ryan's exceptional cinematography, the latter for Lanthimos' screenplay.
Finally, Italian immigration drama "Terrafirma" won the Special Jury Prize, something of a surprise, although the film seems to have been well liked (it was another one we missed, unfortunately). There are a ton of other awards from various other organizations -- see them all over at In Contention -- but the biggest were "Là-Bas," which won the critic's week section; Shinya Tsukamoto's "Kotoko," which won top prize in the Orrizonti sidebar; and "Shame," which took the FIPRESCI award. As ever, the choices of a small jury aren't really worth getting in a fuss about, but it will hopefully help some of the smaller films like "Terrafirma" and "Himizu" gain wider worldwide audiences.

Because he's a quality actor, and when i say quality i mean quality, who's always been over-looked but it's only the past 2 years he's really shone and gotten noticed and thanks to his marvellously good work he won an award for it at Venice. So in my eyes it's well deserved whether i've seen the film or not because i know what a great actor he is. And The Playlist agrees.
Deborah Bosket | September 10, 2011 10:39 AM
It wasn't intentional, I'm sure. Regardless, Eija-Liisa Ahtila has been added. Thanks.

Shame is going to scare the pants of the Academy. That body is too old and too conservative to ever consider such a film no matter how brilliant it is. Congrats to Fassbender, congrats to Venice for having balls.
Tim Tebow's Terrifying Tonsils | September 10, 2011 7:15 AM
Mr. Anonymous: How is his Best Actor award well deserved if you haven't seen the film yet? He's definitely a talented actor and deserves success, but it would help to see the film (and all of the other films at the festival, for that matter) before saying such a thing.
If this is coming off as overly-critical of what you wrote, my apologies.
Mr Anonymous | September 10, 2011 6:52 AM
Nice to see Michael Fassbender receive Best Actor award. Whether that can be converted to Best Actor for next year's Oscar's is another matter entirely. Good on him and well deserved. Look forward to seeing Shame when it hits the UK.
Mohammed | September 10, 2011 6:37 AM
Congrats to Fassbender. I'm gonna check out Shame and some of these other winners when they arrive. Fassbender and McQueen seem to be a great artistic duo. Hope they stick together .

Occupational safety officials are investigating Chattanooga's Wrigley Manufacturing plant after a 34-year-old woman died there.
The Chattanooga Times Free Press reports Mandie Rachael Creel Chitwood died Monday, hours after she was seriously injured in an accident at the Wrigley plant on Sunday.
Details of the accident have not been released by Tennessee's Occupational Safety and Health Administration or Wrigley.
Jeff Hentschel, communications director for Tennessee's Department of Labor and Workforce Development, said the TOSHA investigation could last six months.
The plant was cited for two safety violations in 2005, with one of those considered serious.
The serious violation was for failing to provide adequate first aid training.
Caroline Sherman, the candy maker's U.S. manager of marketing communications, said the company focuses on safety as a first priority.

Christmas is fast approaching, and I was taught that it is better to give than to receive. So I offer my Christmas list for the Santa Clarita Valley:
Well this is just too ironic to believe. The City Council wants to increase our taxes without a ballot measure. To quote Deputy City Manager Darren Hernandez, "We do not need to pass a ballot measure to collect the special library tax." I just love how the city spends our money to save us money.
Although I have been fearful for a while, I am more worried about public education now than ever.
The California Institute of the Arts in Valencia should be commended for taking such an active role in helping this community.
The chairman-elect of the House Armed Services Committee today congratulated U.S. troops for the gains they have achieved in Afghanistan during the last year and reiterated his support for the comprehensive counterinsurgency strategy being implemented by our nation's military forces, diplomats and international partners.
The California Public Utilities Commission today approved Valencia Water Company's rate request to meet future operational needs, as well as the company's request for an allocation-based tiered rate structure to encourage water-use efficiency under its WaterSMART program.
Verizon Wireless has improved high-speed wireless data and voice connections in Canyon Country via network upgrades in around the junction of Soledad Canyon and Whites Canyon roads.
Santa Clarita City Councilman Frank Ferry was taken out of the intensive care unit at Providence Holy Cross Medical Center on Thursday, city spokeswoman Gail Ortiz said.
Two 16-year-olds from Palmdale are in custody Wednesday after allegedly burglarizing as many as 50 homes and vehicles across the Santa Clarita Valley over the last three months.
Suzan Solomon was appointed as the 2011 board president for the Newhall School District on Tuesday.
The time for tax planning is now. The Internal Revenue Code, Title 26 of U.S. Code, consists of more than 3,500 pages, and the regulations that interpret the code number thousands of additional pages. A good tax professional can help you comply with all regulations while ensuring that you get all the credits and deductions to which you're entitled for both state and federal taxes - and assist you with tax planning for the future.

Future demands for water in the Santa Clarita Valley may be easier to meet, thanks to a federal judge's ruling on an endangered fish that lives in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, officials said Wednesday.
Robert Greenquist stood in his yard looking over the tangled wreckage that just hours ago was his front-yard holiday lights display.
Future demands for water in the Santa Clarita Valley may be easier to meet, thanks to a federal judge's ruling on an endangered fish that lives in the Sacramento-San Joaquin River Delta, officials said Wednesday.
Whether they're new to the community, longtime residents or slowly establishing local roots, three Facey Medical Group doctors share why they are proud to live and work in the Santa Clarita Valley.
Always his passion to work with people in a healthcare related field, Moazzem H. Chowdhury decided when he was young that working as a pharmacist would give him the most direct ties to the community he wanted to serve.
With 22 years in practice, Dr. Linda Chenaur is creating a new standard for helping people in the community solve their back pain problems.
One patient was wheeled down the hallway, stable after an open-heart surgery.
It is my honor to serve as your councilwoman. I am available full-time and every-day – responding to your concerns – bringing fresh, new ideas to ensure that our city continues to provide the high quality of life we demand.
Scott and Vanessa Wilk have made Santa Clarita Valley their home for nearly 25 years, and last year, he was honored to be elected to the 38th Assembly District.
Moazzem Chowdhury has lived in the United States for over 25 years and the city of Santa Clarita has been his home for over 20 years. Moazzem, Jeenat, his wife of 30 years, and his son and daughter all consider themselves blessed to live here.
Dear Santa Clarita friends and neighbors,
My wife Pamela and I moved to Santa Clarita in 1965. We raised two children and have five gorgeous grandchildren. Four generations of our family live in Santa Clarita.
This summer, the Santa Clarita Valley Chamber of Commerce will host the third annual Patriot Luncheon on July 11 at the Hyatt Regency Valencia.
Supervisor Michael D. Antonovich will address the Santa Clarita Valley business and community leaders on May 1 at the fifth annual State of the County Luncheon.
We all know that perception often influences our decisions, yet we catch ourselves and become reminded that what we perceive isn't always what's really going on. With the constant barrage of information available in today's 24/7 world, it's important to not get caught up in the day-to-day market volatility and news headlines. That daily hype doesn't always dovetail with what Wells Fargo Advisors top strategists are observing in the financial marketplace.

The Tennessee Titans were downright pedestrian on offense against the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday. Jake Locker passed for 125 yards, and Chris Johnson ran for 70 yards as the team managed just 229 yards of total offense. The defense managed to make the Steelers' offense look much worse, however, harassing Ben Roethlisberger into five sacks and an interception. The Steelers had just 195 total yards.
If Philip Rivers and the San Diego Chargers didn't suffer a predictable collapse Monday night, the Houston Texans would be 0-1 at the moment. Down 28-7 in the third quarter, the Texan reeled off 24 straight points to defeat the Chargers on the road. The final 10 points were scored on a Brian Cushing 18-yard pick-six and a Randy Bullock 41-yard field goal as time expired.
Given that both teams won ugly in Week 1, one might expect an even matchup when the Titans visit the Texans this Sunday. Only one of the two teams was considered a preseason Super Bowl contender, however. All 14 experts at ESPN and nine experts at CBS Sports predict that the Texans will be 2-0 after the weekend.
Evan Vegas is on the Texans' bandwagon. Houston opened the week as 8.5-point favorites, according to Odds Shark, and the line has moved as high as 10.5 points at some sportsbooks. The odds are little too one-sided, according to the guys at CBS. Six of nine experts have the Titans covering the 8.5-point spread.

Eagles and #9 Buckeyes Postponed Until Saturday
COLUMBUS, Ohio – Constant lightning around Columbus Friday night has forced the postponement of the Ohio State vs. Florida Gulf Coast men's soccer match in Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium. The game was halted with 13:15 remaining in the first half and the score tied, 0-0.
The match will resume at 2 p.m. Saturday. Because of the Ohio State home football game against Youngstown State set for noon in nearby Ohio Stadium, fans attending the soccer match are encouraged to allow extra time for parking and travel as there will be no parking spaces available around Jesse Owens Memorial Stadium.
The ninth-ranked Buckeyes and Eagles were playing the second game of the Bert and Iris Wolstein Classic. Earlier Friday, Penn State defeated Central Florida, 2-0. There was a 20 minute lightning delay in that match, as well, causing the Ohio State match to be delayed 15 minutes from its scheduled 7:30 p.m. kickoff.
Lightning moved into the Columbus area and the match went into a delay at 8:20 p.m. It was hoped that the match could be completed Friday night, but the lightning did not subside within the mandated three-hour rule in which a match must be resumed after kickoff.

Seven baby komodo dragons have been successfully hatched at a zoo in Indonesia.
And aren't they cute in a Velociraptor kind of way. Given enough time, that will change.
The hatchlings currently weigh about five ounces each and are being fed pieces of meat.
This is a pretty sweet deal for a baby dragon, since in nature they are on their own from the moment they come out of the egg. They climb trees to keep away from the adults who would eat them.
This could partly explain why the species is endangered.
According to the website, "Reptile Expert", the biggest obstacle to breeding dragons may be telling the males apart from the females.
Over the years, the babies will grow to ten feet long and develop toxic saliva....just like mom.

Embarkation was a breeze. We got to the port at about 1:45 and were on the ship by 2:30. The embarkation staff was very nice, except for the big lady at the front checking our citizenship. Once we got onboard we realized we had to wait in another line to set up the Sail & Sign card. This should have been done while checking in, but we'll let that go.
The ship was beautiful with an All-American theme. They say the theme is Heros and Heroics. But the staff worked very had to keep the ship clean. And everything looked new and fresh!
When we got to our room, it was much bigger than we expected. This is the first time we were in an Ocean View. We usually stay in an interior since you're really not in the cabin except to sleep, shower, and change. It was also very clean. Our cabin steward introduced himself right away, we couldn't pronounce his name so he told us to call him "J".
We then went up to the Lido deck to have lunch and get some drinks, and the buffet was excellent, the food was hot and tasty, hamburgers and fries were good and the pizza was some of the best I have had. They kept the tables cleared. Everyone was very friendly!
Now for the piano bar, the Lindy Hop was so much fun. Joel Sarakula (from Sydney, Australia), made sure everyone was having fun and got everyone to sing along. We went on this cruise for me and my boyfriends 4th anniversary and he actually wished us a happy anniversary and played our song for us and actually walked over to us to get us to get up and dance with each other! He played everything from modern to classic, from rap to rock to hip hop! We spent most of our nights in the Lindy Hop!
We had the 8:00 dinner and 9 of us had a table together (the other 2 opted to have dinner at 6:15). The food was amazing! Our waiters were even better. Our head waiter had suggestions for us every night on what was good and what he recommends, and they always had our water glasses and our bread basket full. He even had some jokes up his sleeve, and some napkin creations for my boyfriend's 11 year old brother (which he makes every time we go to a restaurant)! When my mom asked him his name he told her his first name was "K" and last name "Mart".
The Cruise director was amazing! Chris always made sure everyone was having fun! And Kelly was always there pumping everyone up! Kudos to them!
Disembarkation was a little long, but it could have been because we waited until last minute to get off. We didn't get off until 11 am. I guess we were just trying to catch up on sleep from all the fun, amazing, memorable times on the ship!
All in all, I loved the ship, the staff, the food, the entertainment and the islands. Definitely a cruise I would take again!

|Head Coach
|1st at MIT
Ivan Ivovic wraps up his first season at the helm of the water polo team, coming to MIT from Johns Hopkins University where he was the assistant water polo coach. In 2013, he guided the Engineers to a record of 13-17, a second place finish at the Division III Eastern Championships and an eighth place finish at the CWPA Championships.
Before arriving at Johns Hopkins, Ivovic was the full-time volunteer assistant coach of both the men's and women's water polo teams at the University of Southern California, where he worked under famed coach Jovan Vavic, who has led his programs to ten national championships in his 18-year career at the university. While there, Ivovic helped run up to six practices per day and traveled with the teams to tournaments and training camps.
Ivovic started his coaching career in 2007 as the head assistant coach at Gonzaga College High School in Washington, D.C., a position he held for five years. During this time, he was the founder and the head coach of the Purple Eagles water polo club team, a year-round program for high school and junior high school athletes.
Ivovic started playing water polo at the age of eight for the Montenegrin team Rivijera in Herceg Novi, and continued to compete for them until he was 20-years-old. From 2006-2009, he played for the Rockville Water Polo club team in Rockville, Md. During this time, he was also part of the University of Maryland club team that placed second at the Eastern Club Team Championship in 2008.

The leading goal scorer in Brown University women's water polo history, a 2010 Honorable Mention All-American and an NCAA Woman of the Year nominee that same year, Presant brings over 10 years of playing experience to the Engineers' program.
This past season, Presant competed in the 19th World Maccabi Games in Israel, where she helped the U.S. bring home the gold, scoring four goals in the championship game.
Prior to MIT, Presant spent time playing international professional water polo in New Zealand, the Netherlands, and France. One of the 2012 top 10 goal scorers in New Zealand, Presant helped lead the Maranui Mud Crabs to a second place finish in the NZ National League. Additionally, she helped coach the youth of the Maranui Water Polo Club and was involved in medical research at the University of Otago Wellington. In the Netherlands, Presant helped the team to a seventh place finish and was involved in HIV/AIDS Research at the University Medical Centre Utrecht, Netherlands.
She began her water polo career in Poway California at Poway High School and played for the San Diego Shores Water Polo on teams that finished seventh in 2005 and second in 2006 at Junior Olympics. She began her coaching experience in 2008 with the youth of the Brown University Rhode Island Water Polo Club.
Presant graduated from Brown with a degree in human biology: human health and disease. She currently works for Cartera Commerce as a Marketing Associate.

Milford will be exploring wrestling in the Cooperstown program this season.
The possibility was brought up at Milford's Sept. 26 board of education meeting.
Milford's athletic director Frank Spurchise said that he'd met with his counterpart in Cooperstown, Monica Wolfe, over the summer, who expressed an interest in Milford athletes participating in Cooperstown's wrestling program.
After consulting with Milford superintendent Peter Livshin, Spurchise decided that such an arrangement should be confined to modified, grades 7-9, at this time, due to a lack of wrestling experience among Milford's high school class.
"(Wolfe) is coming down, along with one of their coaches, to see if there is any interest," said Spurchise, who characterized the possibility as a shared services proposal. "I have no idea what the interest is."
This also raised a question from one of Milford's board members.
"Is there also then the potential to explore volleyball with Cooperstown?" said board member Alicia L. Fish.
Spurchise said that would depend on whether Cooperstown had the need or desire to open up their program, and that schools that combine generally do so because of a numbers issue.
"There's no reason that we can't go ask," he said.

Second-year DE Corey Liuget has been a big reason why the Chargers' young group up front is one of the best in the league vs. the run.

The University of New Mexico football team will be without kick returner Chase Clayton this week at UTEP.
Davie said Clayton will miss the next couple weeks of action. Clayton suffered an injury to a ligament in his knee in the second half on Saturday against UT-San Antonio. Davie hopes Clayton will be back by their game against UNLV on September 28th. Clayton was named the Mountain West Preseason Special Teams Player of the Year. He had two kick returns for 38 yards in UNM's season opening loss.

This election day, Arizonans will decide who can vote in future elections — and what they'll have to bring with them to the polls. Proposition 200, or the Arizona Tax Payer and Citizen Protection Act initiative, would prevent noncitizens from voting, require all voters to present identification at the polls, and also require state and local employees to notify federal authorities if a "suspected undocumented immigrant" seeks public benefits, such as social services or schooling. The Washington, D.C.-based Federation for American Immigration Reform has backed the proposition, while the Mexican American Legal Defense and Educational Fund has vowed a legal challenge if the measure passes.
Utah is the land of red-rock canyons and great skiing
— and it could soon have cleaner rivers and more
open space, too. If passed, Initiative 1 would allow the state to
borrow $150 million in bonds and direct that money toward the
preservation of farms, ranches, historical sites and wildlife
habitat, as well as natural history and cultural museums and
stream-restoration projects. The debt from the bonds would be paid
back with a one-twentieth of 1 cent increase in statewide sales and
use tax.
It's final — at
least for now — that Ralph Nader can run as an
independent candidate for president in New Mexico, where he
received 4 percent of the state vote during the 2000 presidential
election. After the secretary of state approved Nader's name
on the ballot, the state's Democratic Party sued, challenging
his candidacy. Two state judges ruled in favor of the Democrats,
saying Nader didn't qualify as an "independent" candidate
because he was running as the nominee for minor parties, such as
the Reform Party, in other states. But at the end of September, the
state Supreme Court ordered his name to be printed on the

In 2008, the Tampa Bay Rays were good for the first time in team history, and they've sustained that success rather remarkably for a team that has the same payroll as the average Piggly Wiggly. The first baseman on that team? Carlos Pena, who thumped and whiffed and thumped his way to a 129 OPS+. According to Jon Heyman, there's a reunion afoot:
pena is to receive about $7.25M on 1-yr deal back with his old team. #rays
First base was the most obvious hole for the Rays, who received surprising production from Casey Kotchman last year on a one-year deal. With Kotchman a free agent, they turned their attention to an old friend.
Pena had a renaissance of sorts after hitting .196 for the Rays in 2010. He signed a one-year deal with the Cubs, and the 33-year-old hit .225/.357/.462 with 28 home runs. In four seasons with the Rays, Pena hit .238/.368/.516 with 144 home runs, making him the franchise's all-time home-run leader. This new deal will give him a chance to extend his 16-homer lead over Aubrey Huff.

Love the first one – blue with the red trim. Any ideas as to the dimension?
I need something really new from Karl – something akin to the 2005 bag from 1999. These are ok, but nothing super special.
OMG that yellow one
love the satchel
some of them of a bit tacky
If only Chanel could give up putting heavy chains on everything they come out with….
:/ It wouldn't be Chanel.
Exactly! But it'd be beautiful! lol
Chanel manages to put out 6 seasonal collections because they hardly ever do anything new. It is variations of quilted chain handled bags with a inclusion of a velvet or an exotic added here and there….and most everyone swoons over them. I want to see something new and original.
+1, because I share those sentiments.
I love both BLUE bags
I think this collection for the most part is a hit. I do not like the fur, but I saw a lot of pieces I'd love to own!
I actually feel like it is a little late for them to jump on the satchel train. I don't know, I just think of them as trendsetters, not several-years-later followers.
loving page 2 the styles here will make a bring a monotone outfit to life and give it some dimension
wow love the chanel 2.55 classic
to be shocked by the first seeing, So beautiful…
When I think of Chanel, I think of classic, elegant, timeless bags. But I have heard that the production of the classics is being limited so that more emphasis will be put on collections like this. I am not a fan. Mixing delicate lambskin with clunky chains baffles me. I cannot imagine who the target buyer for these looks is.
i like the yellow one.
Honestly nothing really catches my eye here. Since I'm actually in the process looking for a new Chanel bag this is a bit of a disappointment …. I would rather spend money on one of the classic Chanel bags that I came across at theluxurycloset.com then I can save some money for another new bag ….currently torn between two at the moment >.<
I like the satchels. Interesting.
wonder how much it cost
It's true that some of the bags are a bit tacky like the last two ones, some of them are beautiful though but I am not totally convinced with this collection of bags.
Love chanel classic beige shw Check out this item I found on eBay: http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=221082552228
look like an expensive one.
does anyone know what the second bag is called? the blue tote with the gold chain strap?!?!
like these, beautifu

Meet & Greet at 8pm (aft Lido bar) was well attended, but the first night of Karaoke with Kim was lightly attended. Kim was very entertaining and personable all week - always with a smile. He was a little "off" during the Legends show on the last night, though.
Room stewards for cabin 8265 were VERY responsive and helpful all week. Tips were given daily for keeping the ice-bucket full and other extra services.
Someone needs to proofread the daily capers and ensure times are clearly readable. One day the times ran off the margin and it was guesswork as to what they should be.
For breakfast, depending on the time, the buffet lines could be very short or very long. The fare was somewhat the same each day but could be varied with prepared eggs or fresh-made omelets, or fresh fruits and cereals from the inside dining area at the Mediterranean Restaurant.
Most lunches were on-shore, but afternoon offerings were always pleasing, and varieties of pizza and ice-cream was always available (24-hours).
Dinners with servers Zoltan and Ziggy were especially enjoyable, as both were very personable, friendly and helpful with suggestions. We very much enjoyed Zoltan's personal stories and affable nature. All of our evening meals were just delightful, well-prepared, and presented. Zoltan always had a "plan B" if anything was not to our liking. Best table steward ever! And we always enjoyed and participated in the "show time" events by all the waiters after dinner.
Evening entertainment was fabulous with choices for movies on the big screen, theater shows, karaoke, various bands, and dancing choices. Only 1 day of windy weather made walking on the upper decks challenging, and hats were at risk.
The seas were swelling more than usual, which meant the ship was constantly swaying, sometimes enough to wake you up during the night. No bother to our party of four, though. Our mid-ship cabin minimized the sensation of swells, but our friends with an aft balcony felt it alot more.
The ship was clean and well-maintained. Some repair was being done to the deck near the pool, but the inconvenience only lasted two days.
The ships' captain was friendly and welcoming, and willing to spend time chatting with you.
Bar service for the loyalty gathering was quick, as waiters made their way through the room with ready-made drinks. The presentation was interesting and informative.
We enjoyed two formal nights and even succumbed to portraits as we don't often have the opportunity to get so well dressed-up.
Trying out for the Carnival Legends show was rewarding and it was thrilling get the most votes for the part of Frank Sinatra, then getting to meet and sing with all of the other members of the cast who were fellow cruisers. Hoever, the quality of filming, camera work, and editing for the shows' DVD was pretty poor. The vidoe ending was lopped off too soon, losing about the final 2 minutes, and the sound track was not so great. The segue routines (between cruise member songs) were a bit hokey - not crisp - almost like the cast was bored with the routines. Also, the show should have started earlier, like 9pm, and the attendance would have been higher. 10:15 was just too late for many folks, and the empty chairs showed it.
Debarkation on Sunday was smooth for us, as we simply waited until 95% of the boat was emptied before departing. We had an evening flight and not in a hurry to debark from such an enjoyable experience.
For our excursions during the week, we did walking and shopping tours and beaches on St. Thomas and Barbados.
On St Lucia, it was a bit overcast, but the day pass at Smuggler's Cove was a hit with our group, with plenty of relaxing and a great meal on the dock under cover during the hardest rain of the day.
Our BEST excursion of the week was the All-day catamaran adventure on St. Kitts. The bar was open from the moment we were on-board, after the safety talk, of course. Reggae music was playing, the snorkeling was great, the lunch was sufficient, and the dancing started big-time after re-boarding for the trip back from Nevis. This was a great excursion!
We enjoyed a drive around St. Martin, with a stop at two beaches (Orient and Happy Bay). Got a good start on a tan! We also bought some inexpensive rum to replenish the bar back home.
On Sunday, back in San Juan, we enjoyed lunch and had the benefit of storing our luggage at the Barrachina restaurant. Then we had an afternoon walk to "El Morro" which is the fort protecting the island bay inlet. It was a beautiful sunny, but not overly hot afternoon. There happened to be a dog show/event occurring in Old San Juan and we saw many breeds, as well as enjoyed a walking tour of the fort until we had to leave to check-in to the airport.
This was a GREAT cruise experience for us, and a wonderful way to take a break from the New England winter. With six ports in seven days, this itinerary is a bargain I would highly recommend to anyone considering it.
I hope your table waiter is Zoltan, because he's the best I've known in 5 cruises! Give that man a raise!!

In these Santa Lucia Mountains, the backcountry of Cambria and San Simeon, this is the time of year mountainfolk like to compare notes on rain totals.
How much rain did you get? we ask when passing each other on the road, or via email, or over the phone.
Its not unusual to discover substantial differences depending on elevation and location. Even properties a quarter-mile apart can register various totals. To check out each others amounts of rain has always been a source of entertainment of sorts. Who got the most or least rain seemed to have been more than a topic of conversation, its been almost a friendly competition, though we applaud everyones results, especially this year! A rainy day is cause for celebration, not to mention a cast iron pot of hearty stew bubbling on top of the woodstove, a steamy mug of hot chocolate, and a good book.
Organized rain dances and prayers for precipitation have been the subject of many peoples social media posting for months now. And, what do you know? Even when the experts said it wasnt likely to happen, we got some showers. So, for those of us who believe in the power of sincere heavenly appeals, we throw our heads back and our hands up, while we twirl around, give thanks and rejoice.
Yes, we know that were not out of the drought. We understand were in a pickle.
Nevertheless, the smell of saturated soil delights us. The sight of runoff pleases us. The sound of grass growing (seriously, some of us hear the enthusiastic cheers of thirsty shoots) is music to our ears. Not only that, all of these pleasures allows us to release some tension and take deep breaths for a while.
Its not until our bodies relax a bit do we realize how tightly weve been wrapped all these months. The feeling of impending doom may not have gone away completely, but for now we revel in some emotional relief, higher hopes and renewed faith. Consequently, our well-being has taken a turn for the better.
Again, we know were far from out of the danger zone, and we continue our extreme conservation practices. Still, recent rains have brought with it a much-needed respite from the absolute anguish that has loomed over us. For that we are grateful.

Former water manager to appear in court
The former manager of wastewater facilities for the city of Hays who has been charged with violating the Clean Water Act will make his initial appearance Sept. 4 in U.S. District Court in Wichita.
Charles L. Blair, 57, Hays, was charged with four counts of making false statements about nitrogen levels in the effluent for the city of Hays. In three counts, Blair is alleged to have made false statements in discharge monitoring reports. The reports significantly understated the amount of ammonia nitrogen in the city's effluent. In another count, Blair is alleged to have falsely stated to agents of the Environmental Protection Agency that he had provided accurate reports to EPA. The crimes are alleged to have occurred in February, March and July 2012 in Hays.
If convicted, Blair faces a maximum penalty of two years in federal prison and a fine up to $10,000 on each of the first three counts and a maximum penalty of five years and a fine up to $250,000 on the fourth count.

Alan Belcher continues with the eye injury updates from his official Twitter.com account, providing a pic of lacerated lid that required eight stitches to fix after Michael Bisping accidentally poked him in the third and final round of their UFC 159 co-main event this past weekend. "The Talent," who was unable to continue, went on to drop a technical decision to "The Count." The good news is that injury, which you can watch happen here, was not more serious. A very close call, considering his 2010 surgery to correct a detached retina in the same eye, one that nearly ended his MMA career.
You wanted it? You got it. After initially being rumored yesterday when both Alan Belcher and Vitor Belfort called each other out and tentatively accepted a fight against each other, the UFC made it official for UFC 153 in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, later this October. Both "The Phenom" and "The Talent" are coming off some solid wins in the middleweight division and are looking to move up the ladder. What's your first impression on this stellar matchup?
Michael Bisping responds to Alan Belcher calling him out, saying "The Talent's" tattoo artist, who inked his infamous Johnny Cash tattoo, is the real asshole: "I suppose he thinks he can get back in the mix by calling me out. But if he wants an easy fight he should sue his tattooist for that abomination on his arm. I know Belcher has vision problems right now but we still have to look at that mess. He's got a lot of nerve calling me an a--hole when he walks round with that on him. Although lets be fair, the real a--hole is the tattooist who drew that." Quote via Fighter's Only magazine.

JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A stunning turnaround in the previous meeting between the teams this season should serve as motivation for the Jacksonville University men's basketball team as they go out to face the Northern Kentucky Norse (8-14, 4-6 Atlantic Sun) on Saturday at 3:15 p.m. from the Jacksonville Veterans Memorial Arena. The Dolphins (8-13, 4-6 A-Sun) led throughout much of the contest last month in Highland Heights, but NKU stormed back for the win late in the game. Now Jacksonville will try to stop a losing streak that has reached four games and climb back up the conference ladder. Scott Manze and Artis Gilmore will have the action on 92.5 FM and ASun.TV.
Lipscomb proved just how lethal its offense can be when it gets rolling on Thursday night. The Bisons knocked down more than 78 percent of its shots in the second half to turn a one-point halftime lead into an 88-76 win over Jacksonville. Keith McDougald had a team-high 20 points for JU and RJ Slawson had his second double-double this season with 11 points and 11 rebounds, but it wasn't nearly enough to keep up with the visitors from Nashville. Now the Dolphins will face a team that prefers a much different pace than the run-and-gun Bisons.
Northern Kentucky plays at one of the slower tempos in the league, running a systematic offense that usually has players filling very specific roles. It has worked well for the Norse, who have been competitive in the A-Sun from the very moment they made the leap to Division I competition last season. NKU commits only 11.5 turnovers a game, tops in the conference and a figure that would be even better if not for the 17 miscues the Dolphins forced from them the first time the two sides met. Jordan Jackson leads the team with 14.3 points a game and is among the best in the league at slashing to the rim. Tyler White is the other double-figure scorer for the Norse with 10.6 points per game, but can be prone to cold-shooting nights as evidenced by his .362 field goal percentage. Jacksonville will have to work hard to contain Jalen Billups as well. The leading rebounder for the Norse, Billups had 10 points and 12 boards against the Dolphins last month in a 73-66 win.
With NKU in just its second year since moving up into the A-Sun, the two teams have met only three times on the hardwood. In each of the previous matchups, the home team has come away victorious, a trend that JU hopes to continue. Jacksonville provided the opposition for Northern Kentucky's first-ever conference game last season at JVM Arena and came away with a hard-fought 53-51 victory, winning on two free throws with less than two seconds remaining.
Next week will see the Dolphins heading back out on the road to face teams they've already beaten on the year. On Feb. 6, Jacksonville will match up with Florida Gulf Coast in a game that can be seen on ESPN3 at 7:05 p.m. Two days later, JU will be in DeLand to face Stetson in a 1 p.m. contest.
