Longtime National Hockey League defenseman and coach Brad Berry is in his eighth year on the North Dakota staff and is responsible for the coaching and development of the team's defensemen. He also coaches UND's power play.
Berry returned to Grand Forks prior to the 2012-13 season for his second stint at his alma mater. He had previously served as the program's associate head coach from 2004-06 and assistant coach from 2000-04. He was also a defenseman at UND from 1983-86.
In his first season back, Berry mentored a defensive unit that was one of the nation's best down the stretch. Over the final two months of the season, UND allowed a WCHA-low 2.00 goals per game during league play.
During his first stint at UND, eight of Berry's defensemen went on to play in the National Hockey League, including 2012 Stanley Cup champion and Los Angeles assistant captain Matt Greene. Following the 2012-13 campaign, three more of Berry's pupils moved on to their professional organizations: Derek Forbort (L.A.), Joe Gleason (Chicago) and Andrew MacWilliam (Toronto).
Before returning to UND, Berry spent two seasons (2010-12) as an assistant coach with the NHL's Columbus Blue Jackets. While with the Blue Jackets, Berry coached the team's defensemen and managed both the power-play and penalty kill. He was also responsible for individual and group video breakdown and analysis, as well as pre-scout game plans.
Prior to joining the Blue Jackets, Berry created The Hockey Academy in Grand Forks, which focuses on developing and training youth hockey players within Grand Forks and surrounding areas. During this time (2008-10), he doubled as a part-time scout with the NHL's Vancouver Canucks.
Berry was an assistant coach with the American Hockey League's Manitoba Moose from 2006-08 and helped lead the franchise to a playoff appearance in each of his two years, including a North Division title in 2006-07.
Before embarking on his professional coaching career, Berry spent six seasons on the UND coaching staff (2000-06), including his last two as associate head coach under Hakstol. While overseeing the team's defensemen and penalty kill, Berry helped guide UND to NCAA Frozen Four appearances in 2001, 2005 and 2006, Western Collegiate Hockey Association (WCHA) regular season titles in 2001 and 2004 and a WCHA playoff championship in 2006.
Berry was a standout defenseman at UND from 1983-86, collecting 74 points (12 goals, 62 assists) in 112 collegiate games. He also represented Canada at the 1985 International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) World Junior Hockey Championship.
A second-round draft pick (29th overall) of the Winnipeg Jets in 1983, Berry went on to play in 241 NHL games over eight years, including stints with Winnipeg, Minnesota and Dallas. His professional playing career also included stops in the Swedish Elite League and the International Hockey League. While with the IHL's Michigan K-Wings, Berry was a three-time IHL All-Star and was named the K-Wings' Defenseman of the Year three times.
After his playing career ended, Berry was a professional scout with the 1999-00 Dallas Stars team that won the Stanley Cup.
A native of Bashaw, Alberta, Berry's family includes his wife, Suzanne, daughters, Brianna and Brooke, and son, Bauer.

Down inside, your feet will remain perfectly dry regardless of how damp the settings are or the varying weather conditions, because the footwear has been assembled with Rocky waterproof construction. Underneath your feet, the polyurethane footbed is the source of delightful cushioning and support.
The EVA midsole is responsible for providing support, distributing the weight that you press down evenly and also providing additional cushioning. On the bottom, you will like that the MobiLite outsole has been made from a combination of materials, because this allows it to be incredibly lightweight, durable, comfortable enough to stand on all-day long, as well as being oil and slip resistant.

The Avon event begins at 10 a.m. with solos, duets, and small ensembles followed by large groups competing in jazz, lyrical, hip-hop, kick, and pom routines. The event will also feature booths selling merchandise geared toward the dancers as well as freshly-prepared food items from local eatery Charbonos.
Avon's junior-varsity and varsity teams will dance exhibition-only at this invitational. Each team must participate in three local invitational events, such as this one, to qualify for the state competition.

Southland High School Senior Asks Model Kate Upton To Prom…She Says Maybe
Photo Galleries
LOS ANGELES (CBSLA.com) — Model Kate Upton is now in the business of making teenage dreams come true.
The two-time cover model for the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue may be going to a Los Angeles prom with Milken Community High School senior, 17-year-old Jake Davidson, who asked her through a YouTube video.
@KateUpton you are the most beautiful woman in the world! Please do me the great honor of going to prom with me!
jake davidson (@JakeDavidson23) March 17, 2013
After many supporters helped pass around the video through social media by retweeting and using hashtags, such as #PromWithJake and #katenjakeprom, the post went viral and finally reached 20-year-old Upton who responded on Twitter Tuesday.
youtube.com/watch?v=NvxqUE…" you can call me Katie if you want! How could I turn down that video! I'll check my schedule ;)—
Kate Upton (@KateUpton) March 19, 2013
While being interviewed on the Today show Wednesday morning, Upton called in and surprised Davidson.
"I absolutely loved the video; it was so hilarious and so creative," Upton said. "I'd definitely have to check my schedule, but you seem like so much fun and if everything works out, I'd love to go with you. I know we'd have a blast."
Davidson then followed up on Twitter:
@KateUpton you rock! thanks so much for calling in! Look forward to hearing from you @todayshow thanks for setting everything up!—
jake davidson (@JakeDavidson23) March 20, 2013
Milken's prom isn't until May 28, so Upton has a few weeks to check her schedule.
Davidson said he thought of the idea months ago and after speaking to a family friend, University of Southern California student Talia Myers, they took a shot and made the video.
Since it was posted on YouTube on Mar. 17, it has nearly 140,000 views.

LONDON — In London, the end of the world is only a bus ride away: Just hop on the 328 going south from Golders Green, and take it all the way to World's End. Now a highly desirable district of Chelsea, the area around the western terminus of King's Road once marked the edge of the city — or, as Cockneys of yore cockily maintained, the edge of the known universe. Hence the name of a popular pub formerly on that location, which perpetuated the terminus of civilization, even as London grew exponentially.
Like the edge of the British capital, the real end of the world is a moving target, prophesied countless times, but never actually materializing. Not yet, anyway. There are those who believe this time will be different, that the rapidly approaching end of the 13th and final baktun, or cycle, of the Mayan Long Count calendar on Dec. 21 will really end it all.
We'll have to wait until the 22nd for the next doomsday date to start gathering steam, but meanwhile, an interesting phenomenon has taken shape: The end of the world is intersecting with the map of the world. The impending advent of the Mayan apocalypse has added a few places to the already crowded field of apocalyptic topography.
1. This time around, location scouts for the end of the world have decided to snub Chelsea. Instead, they've scared the bejeezus out of the good citizens of Bugarach. That southern French village counts only 200 permanent residents, but that number may swell to thousands on Dec. 20, the presumptive eve of destruction.
The town, on a hillside 50 miles north of the France-Spain border, is dominated by the eponymous Pic de Bugarach, a solitary peak known as the "upside-down mountain," as its top layer is older than the lower ones. That freak of geology has piqued the interest of hippies ever since the 1960s, recently crystallizing in the belief, held by several, if not dozens of, people, that the mountain houses an alien spaceship that will save them when the end comes. It must be said: The Pic does sort of resemble Devils Tower in Wyoming, the central location in 1977's "Close Encounters of the Third Kind" — the daddy of all friendly alien abduction movies.

A woman at an apartment complex in Hermitage was accidentally shot by her neighbor late Sunday night while he was playing with his gun.
The incident occurred at 11 p.m. at the Pine Brook Apartments located at 1005 Hickory Hill Lane.
According to authorities, David White, 22, admitted he was playing with his gun inside his bedroom when the weapon discharged.
The bullet reportedly went through the ceiling of the apartment below, striking a sleeping woman below her left shoulder.
The woman was transported to Vanderbilt University Medical Center with serious, but not life-threatening injuries.
News 2 spoke with the victim's husband, Vincent Goutremont, who was home at the time of the accident along with their two children, a six-year-old and one-year-old.
He reported he woke to his wife screaming. She was sleeping just six feet from the baby's crib where the child was also sleeping.
Goutremont told News 2 his wife is expected to be released from the hospital Monday. The bullet went into her chest and doctors plan to keep it there.
White was arrested and charged with reckless endangerment, possession of a controlled substance and drug possession without a prescription.
The drug charges stem from marijuana and 1.5 amphetamine pills police found inside his apartment, the affidavit read.
His bond is set at $15,000.

The 9 Most Controversial Apps Censored By Apple
The Huffington Post Cooper Smith and Catharine Smith First Posted: 07/05/11 10:03 AM ET Updated: 09/04/11 06:12 AM ET
share this story
Apple's strict approval process for apps can be a tough hurdle to clear for some developers. But with over 425,000 iPhone applications available in the App Store, a few are bound to offend some customers.
Apple specifies in its Software Development Kit (SDK) that "Applications must not contain any obscene, pornographic, offensive or defamatory content or materials of any kind (text, graphics, images, photographs, etc.), or other content or materials that in Apple's reasonable judgment may be found objectionable by iPhone or iPod touch users." (PDF)
Despite these guidelines, some developers submit potentially offensive apps that inexplicably escape Apple's censors. Other developers walk the gray line of "reasonable judgement." Meanwhile, Apple's approval guidlines protect the company from the inevitable outcry that occurs when an app that promotes a controversial issue finds its way into the App Store. Nonetheless, when a company has a consumer-base as expansive and diverse as Apple's, it becomes increasingly difficult to keep every user happy by filtering offensive content. Sometimes Apple needs to rely on its users to report these controversial apps in order to bring it to their attention.
We've collected some of the most controversial apps from the past year. Check them out in the slideshow (below), and tell us whether you think they deserve to be banned from the App Store. Then, take a look at our previous list of 15 outrageous banned apps.
Smuggle Truck: Operation Immigrant
Boston-based developer Owlchemy Labs irked immigrant advocate groups with this iPhone game that allows users to drive a truck full of immigrants through the desert. According to the AP, "[Developer Alex] Schwartz said he wanted to bring attention to immigration issues." But Apple banned the app from the App Store.
Phantom Alert
U.S. Senators Chuck Schumer, Frank Lautenberg, Tom Udall and Harry Reid pressured Apple, Google and RIM earlier this spring to remove smartphone apps that notify users of nearby police DUI checkpoints. Apple and RIM have since complied with the Seantors' demands and cracked on so-called "DUI checkpoint" apps, but Google has yet to take action.
Exodus International
Despite initially passing Apple's standards, the allegedly anti-gay messages promoted by the app "Exodus International" outraged thousands of customers. The Exodus International ministry, from which the app takes its name, promotes "freedom from homosexuality through the power of Jesus Christ." After more than 150,000 signatures were gathered for an online petition, Apple removed the app from the App Store entirely.
Hugh Hefner claimed in January that "Playboy" would soon come uncensored on the iPad. Apple, however, remains firm on its nudity-free policy within the App Store and forced "Playboy" to resort to a low resolution web app instead.
The unofficial WikiLeaks application lasted only three days in the App Store before being banned by Apple.
'The Importance Of Being Earnest'
Apparently Apple's censors worried that Tom Bouden's graphic novel version of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest, which portrays illustrations of nude or partially nude men embracing, would be too objectionable for too many users. Apple approved the app, but only with black boxes covering controversial frames. However, the App Store later reversed its decision and passed the app without the censor bars.
Big Brother Camera Security
In 2010, Apple approved the Big Brother Camera Security app, which lets users remotely photograph someone who is improperly trying to access their stolen or lost iPhone. In June 2010, however, the app was removed from the App Store following accusations that the developer was "surreptitiously harvesting user passwords."
Apple removed the app called "ThirdIntifada" from the App Store, following complaints made by Israel's information minister, Yuli Edelstein and Jewish human rights group Simon Wiesenthal Center. The app was said to promote violence against Israel, according to claims.
Manhattan Declaration
Apple initially approved so-called "anti-gay" app Manhattan Declaration, but the App Store later removed the program following a wave of complaints--and a petition--from outraged customers. The app asked users to sign a "declaration," which according to the app "speaks in defense of the sanctity of life, traditional marriage, and religious liberty."

Things you should be doing to avoid eviction
Did everyone read Friday's Wall Street Journal home trends piece on the romance between wealthy tech workers and the Mission and Noe Valley? By way of paraphrasing, we quote:
Real-estate agents say it's a cultural shift. The new generation of Internet executives—younger than the last generation of dot-commers—eschews the trappings and responsibilities of expensive properties. They want to bicycle, walk or take public transportation. They like living near food trucks and dive bars.
Rents in the two neighborhoods have risen 10 percent in the last six months.
HISS. Ahem. The WSJ article comes on the tail of a March 14 announcement from the Huffington Post that SF now has the highest average rent in the country. It now takes the income from 4.6 minimum wage jobs (thank goodness for our high minimum wage!) to afford the average two-bedroom apartment here.
With all this good news for landlords, it's high time those of us without Facebook shares start taking defensive measures against losing our homes. You remember what happened in the last tech boom, right? (For those who don't, a trip to the library for tech writer James Gleik's anthology of his SF Chronicle articles What Just Happened and/or Erick Lyle's 2004 punk chronology On the Lower Frequencies: A Secret History of the City will serve you well.)
Richard Hurlburt has been practicing as a tenant's rights attorney in San Francisco for 16 years. In a Guardian phone interview, he said that evictions are always "a hot topic," but that with the burgeoning tech industry, he expects to see an uptick in the amount of tenants evicted. And because of that, renters should be on their toes.
"The developers have a lot of money and they have new resources," he said. "Evictions happen so fast, they're so litigation-intensive. Even when people have meritorious cases it's hard to defend themselves in court. They're afraid of the process. It's so... it's fast and complicated."
But, Hurlburt says, there are things that you can do to shield yourself from a landlord who is hoping to get a new, more loaded tenant onto their property. Here is his list of things you can do to improve your chances of staying in your home. Of course, should you get any kind of fishy correspondence from your landlord, contact the Tenants Union. Should you need legal counsel, he also recommends (in addition to his own services) the Eviction Defense Collaborative, a collaborative that provides emergency legal help to 5,000 San Franciscans each year.
1. Comply with the lease. "Pay the rent, and pay the rent on time," Hurlburt says. "You can get evicted for late payments. It's a lot easier to just pay on time if you can."
2. Know your unit's legal status. This doesn't help if you're already in one, but those in-law apartments so common in SF are not legal housing, and as such, you don't have the typical tenant's rights if you live in one. "They're not legal units if they're supposed to be a single family house," says Hurlburt. "The city has a policy of looking away because we need the housing, but the landlord is always able to evict from those units with a 60-day notice. There's no defense for that." He adds that in larger buildings, landlords are less likely to perform an Ellis Act eviction, but you're still not safe.
3. If you can, buy. "I'm a licensed real estate broker, and I help first time home buyers," the lawyer says. "Really, the best way to preserve your housing is if you get a chance to buy it, buy it. Sometimes people actually want to sell to their tenants. It can be a relief if the landlord wants to switch to TICs and they don't want to evict the little old ladies. Or, just buy your unit if you can." Again, a good tip for those who can use it.
4. Keep it clean. This one didn't actually come from Hurlburt, but the word on the street is that one eviction excuse du jour is that a tenant has become a hoarder, and is unhealthily accumulating mountains of stuff on the property. We know your apartment's tiny to begin with... just think simplicity (and about how moving to your sister's house is going to suck.)
If you do get an eviction notice, don't panic: Evictions are expensive and time-consuming for landlords, too -- if you fight back. Often landlords will cut a deal and pay you to leave if they think you're going to cost them a fortune in legal fees. Call a tenant lawyer right away; many will work with you on the fees. Low-income tenants have free legal assistance options, and the Tenants Union can help you with the right referral.
Don't try to fight your landlord alone; there's help out there.
Thanks, Tim!
too low, relative to the open market. Landlords rarely evict any tenant who pays a market rent.
So the real issue that defines whether you can stay in your home long-term is whether you are paying a reasonable and realistic rent.
So another idea if you feel at risk is to offer to sign a new lease with your landlord at a higher rent. You'll pay more, of course, but no more than the going rate. And you won't have to worry that your LL will be looking for the first excuse to kick you out.
This is a nice solution, except it is totally illegal under San Francisco's rent control laws. A tenant CAN NOT waive their rights under the rent law, and CAN NOT agree to a higher rent that what is locked in under rent control. Basically if a tenant agrees to pay a higher rent after the inception of the tenancy, they can come back YEARS later and file at the rent board for a unlawful rent increase, and have the increase AND ALL SUBSEQUENT (legal) increases refunded! This lack of flexibility in the rent law is one of the reasons for many Ellis act evictions. Basically the rent law assumes that tenants are like children and can not consent to anything outside of the rent control rules.
If a tenant freely signs a new lease for a new rent, that is legally binding. I have seen that done successfully a number of times when a landlord said that he was otherwise going to Ellis or sell. Rather than take the risk, the tenants freely chose security over cost. It makes perfect sense.
Rent control starts anew with a new lease - vacancy control is illegal under CA state law.
Those subsequently renegotiated leases are not legally enforceable, at least not the rent amount in excess of the allowable, and again, the tenant can come back YEARS later and get all those rent increases refunded. Such arrangements are legal under some more flexible rent control laws, such as Oakland's, but not San Francisco. If you don't believe me, call the rent board and ask. I am certain I am correct.
If some tenants are pulling this trick to escape an Ellis act, then they may be pulling a con, because when they are ready to move on, or the threat of an Ellis act eviction has passed, they can get all the increases rent back!
Vacancy control kicks in when there is a change in tenancy, not just a new lease!
be valid. So it is prudent when doing this to change various aspects of the lease. One example might be to add the use of, say, a yard or storage, which can then justify the higher rent.
Again, I am only suggesting this for those most at risk of eviction i.e. those who know their rent is too low.
Don't go by what you read here, see an expert from the SF Tenants Union if you are facing eviction.
Per the Guest who said tenants are evicted because their rents are too low, landlords are converting their properties from rental units to privatized TIC's and condos. Why should they care about raising the rent $1000 / month when they can sell the apartment for $600,000?
Never offer to pay your landlord more rent. Even if you pay low rent the landlord can't evict you. (Exceptions are owner move in evictions). The owner must evict all the apartments in the building through the Ellis Act or paying the tenants to move voluntarily. If they Ellis Act evict none of the units in the building can ever get a condo permit and the building must remain a TIC. TIC units are worth about $100,000 less than a condo so the speculator pig will try to bribe you to sign papers saying that you moved voluntarily. people are getting 20-30k or even more to move.
If you plot the rate of tenant evictions against the amount the rent is below market, you will find an almost perfect correlation. Landlords are always happy to have good tenants paying market rents and, if that is you, then you have nothing to fear from the scaremongering in this piece about being evicted.
But the more your rent is unrealistic and uneconomic, the more the landlord must get rid of you as a simple economic imperative. That might be thru an Ellis, an owner-move-in, a relative-move-in, a rehabilitation of the building or even, as you suggest a small payoff.
The method will vary but the need to depart is inevitable. The cheaper your rent, the less secure your home is - it's really that simple. And forget about those five figure payoffs - the legal cost of an eviction is rarely more than 5K - don't expect more than that, if anything.
Interesting blog with some good advice for tenants. Though I think you missed a golden opportunity for a quote from everyone's favorite drug dealer and "speculator pig", Chris Daly.
Maybe next time :)
Way too many tenants get evicted for subletting in violation of their lease, when they could have avoided the problem by following a simple procedure. Read what your lease or written rental agreement says about subletting, if anything. If it it limits your right to sublet then go to the Rent Board's website (sfrb.org) and read Rule 6.15. Follow the correct part of of the rule (A), (B) or (C). Do this before you get the new roommate!
Another laughable list of tips. Pay your rent on time, damn you!!! Duh!! Wish Ida thought of that. Oh yes! Wouldja take out the garbage once in awhile. The best: Turn the tables...buy then evict your landlord.
But we welcome your additions to the list. Or we would, hypothetically speaking.
WEll heres a good one for you. I was evicted from public housing place because the landlord decided to retaliate.. THe landlord decided to retaliate because I called HUD on her so she got a hold os some tapes that I had left messages on another tenants phone and she used it against me saying that I committed a crime on my lease. When in fact the other girl I had left messages on had recently had charges filed against her. Go figure.
What else would you either expect or want?
It's one of the 15 just causes for eviction in SF.
My neighbor downstairs catches rats in a cage in our backyard. He drowns them, skins them, throws the skins in our shared trash bins and then hangs the meat out in the sun to cure. We complained to the landlord and our landlord is trying to make him stop, but he won't. We have pictures of the horrific act and plenty of eye witnesses to the slaughter. The tenant board treated my landlord like he was a slumlord trying to evict my neighbor because he pays a rediculously low rent. What laws protect the other tenants against this unhealthy and disgusting behavior. The lease that my landlord has with the man was written long ago by the previous owner and doesn't cover anything like detailed rules of shared back yard. What's the best way to go about this? I can't find and laws that prohibit this behavior.
In house where the landlord rents one room out of five rooms, how does San Francisco Rent Ordinance apply here?

@FGCU_VB, Masters Earn Top A-Sun Preseason Honors
FORT MYERS, Fla. - The reigning Atlantic Sun Conference regular season champion FGCU volleyball team enters the 2013 campaign as the preseason league favorite to claim the A-Sun title according to the preseason coaches' poll, released Wednesday by the league office. Junior Whitney Masters was also named the A-Sun Preseason Libero of the Year, marking only the second time an FGCU student-athlete has won the award.
In a vote conducted by the A-Sun conference's 10 head coaches, the Eagles received four first place votes, making them the predicted preseason favorite to bring home a second consecutive conference regular season title and the A-Sun Tournament championship title. FGCU finished 16-2 in A-Sun play last season and swept three-time defending champion Lipscomb twice, including in the final weekend of play, to claim the 2012 regular season title.
Four different teams received a first place vote with ETSU (85) occupying the second spot followed by Lipscomb at third (83). USC Upstate, predicted to finish eighth (36), also received a first place vote. FGCU took the top spot by five points (95), marking the first time in five seasons a team other than Lipscomb has been voted to finish first.
"I know I speak for both our coaches and players when I say that we are honored to be recognized as the top team in the ASUN," said FGCU head coach and 2012 A-Sun Coach of the Year Dave Nichols, "But we also understand that the league gets deeper and stronger every year, and that we need to earn every point all season long."
The Eagles, who have boasted a player on the preseason team in each of the last six seasons, were one of three schools to place multiple players on the preseason All-Conference team. Juniors Masters (Muncie, Ind./Wapahani HS) and Jill Hopper (Muncie, Ind./Yorktown HS) were joined by Lipscomb's Jewell Dobson, Caitlin Dotson, and Lauren Ford, ETSU's Meredith Hardy, and the lone unanimous selection ETSU's Megan Devine.
Masters, the Eagles' defensive specialist, played in all 32 matches and 116 sets for FGCU in 2012 and finished eighth in the A-Sun in digs with 3.63 per set. She led the team in total digs with 421. Masters also tallied double-digit digs in 23 matches and 20 or more digs in five matches, including a match high of 27.
Joining Masters in preseason accolades, Hopper returns after earning unanimous All-Atlantic Sun First Team honors in 2012. She led the team in kills (2.94), points (370) and service aces (.36), and was ranked second in the A-Sun in service aces and sixth in kills in A-Sun matches. Hopper recorded 10 double-doubles in 2012, and was ranked among the top 60 players in the nation in aces per set.
"I am thrilled that Jill and Whitney have earned first team pre-season recognition," said Nichols, "But they are well aware that the real job lies in front of them. This team is a hardworking and motivated group, and they are all committed to being as good as they can be."
The 2013 edition of the Eagles returns 10 players, including five starters. FGCU also welcomes five newcomers to the program, including transfers Elenora Kazarian (Tibilisi, Georgia/College of Central Florida) and Vanessa Benke (Toledo, Brazil/College of Central Florida).
The Green and Blue will kick off the 2013 season on the road at the IUPUI Tournament (Aug. 30-31), where they take on VCU, Illinois State, and host IUPUI. The Eagles open their home slate on Sept. 10 at 7 p.m. against in state rival USF, before hosting the 2013 Hilton Garden Inn/Homewood Suites Airport Volleyball Classic at Alico Arena Aug. 13-14.
Season tickets for FGCU volleyball are now available, and can be purchased in person at the Alico Arena ticket office or by phone at 239-590-7145. Tickets can also be purchased online at FGCUathletics.com/tickets. The FGCU ticket office is open from 9 a.m. - 5 p.m. Monday through Friday, and one hour prior to ticketed events. An adult ticket for all 14 games is $35, while a youth (3-18 years) ticket is $17. Single game tickets can also be bought at $6 for adults and $3 for youth. Groups of 10+ can get in for $3 a person. FGCU students and faculty/staff get in free with their Eagle ID.

For two 4-4 teams, it's sink-or-swim time in Week 10 of an NFL season.
The Chargers are looking to ride the momentum gained from a 31-13 victory over the Chiefs, while the Bucs look to do the same after Doug Martin's record-setting performance against the Raiders. Though the Chargers are still very much alive in the AFC West race, the Bucs are scratching and clawing for a Wild Card berth with no hope of catching the 8-0 Falcons.
With both teams in similar spots in the season, what would seem like a tough pick is coming up in Tampa Bay's favor.
Six of the nine ESPN analysts that have submitted picks have gone with Buccaneers, with both Yahoo! experts having gone the same way.
CBS Sports' reporters are even more in favor of Tampa Bay, having six of their eight analysts pick Tampa against the spread, where the Bucs are favored by 3.5. That's a ringing endorsement.

AER No. (AER790) ,
November 2000
An average of 875,000 persons 15 years of age and older did hired farmwork each week as their primary job in 1998. An additional 63,000 people did hired farmwork each week as their secondary job. Hired farmworkers were more likely than the typical U.S. wage and salary worker to be male, Hispanic, younger, less educated, never married, and not U.S. citizens. The West (42 percent) and South (31.4 percent) census regions accounted for almost three-fourths of the hired farmworkers. The rate of unemployment in the hired farm labor force (11.8 percent) was more than double that (4.5 percent) for all wage and salary workers. Hired farmworkers were also more likely to be paid less than the minimum wage, and to be low-wage workers. Consequently, their median weekly earnings continued to be much lower than those of all wage and salary workers. However, hired farmworkers real median weekly earnings increased 4 percent between 1990 and 1998, while earnings for all wage and salary workers increased only 2 percent. This report examines regional and structural patterns of farm labor use, and demographic and employment characteristics of hired farmworkers, using data from the 1997 Census of Agriculture and the 1998 Current Population Survey (CPS) earnings microdata file.
Keywords: Hired farmworkers, annual averages, demographic characteristics, hours worked, median weekly earnings

Likud Beytenu needs to think about why it was weakened in the election and try
to improve, Knesset Speaker Reuven Rivlin said on Thursday.
Using a
soccer metaphor, Rivlin said "the public is not happy with the team it
supported. Sometimes the [umpire] takes out yellow and red cards. The public
gave a yellow card to the Likud, and we will draw conclusions and learn lessons
[related] to our decline."
Rivlin spoke to the press while visiting
Central Elections Committee chairman Justice Elyakim Rubinstein, who was
counting final votes from soldiers and prisoners.
Rivlin said he expects
to continue in his current role after the 19th Knesset is sworn in on February
"I worked to promote democracy, for the possibility of influencing and
keeping the rules of the game," he explained. "People voted for me not so I will
be a minister; rather, they want me to continue in my job."
As for the
coalition talks, Rivlin said that "a coalition's weakness is also its strength,
because everyone knows the coalition could fall apart. Therefore, coalition
agreements cannot be ambiguous. Negotiations will be profound."
At the
same time, he predicted that some topics will have to be dealt with later on,
because the sides will not be able to come to an agreement during preliminary
Meanwhile, Knesset workers are preparing materials for a one-day
workshop for the 48 new incoming MKs, so they can receive the tools of their
trade. The course, which will take place on February 3, will be taught by
several senior Knesset employees.
Knesset secretary Yardena
Maller-Horowitz will discuss procedure with the group and explain how to propose
a bill, and explain what parliamentary questions and motions to the agenda
Knesset legal adviser Eyal Yinon will describe the services his
office provides, and new MKs will also learn about the Knesset Research and
Information Center.
The 48 incoming lawmakers will also discover the
logistics of working in the Knesset – such as how its computer system works and
what their salary and benefits are.
"We'll give them a first taste and
tell them what they can expect," Knesset spokesman Yotam Yakir explained. "It's
very important, especially in light of the large number of new MKs."
course will continue for at least one more day after the Knesset is already
sworn in, because, as Yakir put it, "it is impossible to teach everything in one
He added that the workshop is not a new idea, and had been attended
by previous incoming Knesset members.

In November of last year the design team at truss and custom structure manufacturer, Total Structures, were given a challenge by local customer Phil Burke of Phil Burke Rigging. For the past 16 years, on behalf of event producers Party Planners West Inc. (PPW), Phil Burke Rigging has been in charge of rigging the structures helping create the NFL Experience, which takes place during the Super Bowl festivities. For this year's NFL Experience in South Florida, the NFL had as part of their Super Bowl graphic "look" an existing icon in the shape of a field pylon, which represented the concept of #1.
Based on the location of the NFL Experience at the Dolphin Stadium, PPW's President, Patricia Ryan, envisioned an "Icon" that would be seen as a major focal point that would be dominant against the scale of the stadium. This provided parameters for the project and defined the challenge to Total Structures to design a structure that would be approximately 100 feet in height, that could be hung from four portable cranes and could house and exhibit the Vince Lombardi Trophy during the course of the nine day event.
An additional challenge was to clad the entire structure in orange Tenax safety fence material to help create the effect of a huge end zone pylon emerging from the center of the Dolphin Stadium's parking lot, where the Experience would be constructed. Last but not least the final brief was to produce the structure from as many standard truss products as possible so as to allow it to be re-configured in different formats for future events.
After much collaboration between PPW's senior vice president of Production, Sean Connolly, Phil Burke, and Total's Adrian Forbes-Black, the final solution was a structure created from generic Medium Duty 20.5" square truss. Four grids of MD truss, approximately 20 feet square, would be hung directly under each other with large diameter steel wire ropes to help create the overall shape of the centerpiece. Due to the high loads seen at the top of the structure, the initial ring of truss, which would be directly connected to the cranes, were designed as a "double stack" of the 20.5" truss. With both rings of truss connected by custom nodes at every junction the overall effect was that of a much larger truss without diverting from the requirement of using only standard products.
With high winds quite likely in South Florida at that time of year it was necessary to engineer the structure to resist 100 mph winds, which in turn presented its own set of challenges. The answer was to apply over 35,000 lbs of ballast through the addition of Total's unique Ballast Truss.
Thirty two of the 100 gallon single tank trusses, eight per side, were vertically stacked and attached to four corner towers and in turn helped create a 20ft by 20ft by 20ft tall space which would later be internally dressed to create the trophy viewing area. This space was completed through the addition of a peaked roof that would be covered with a clear skin to allow the guests viewing the trophy a clear view up through the center of the structure and to see a 12ft fiberglass football that was hung in the center of the Icon.
The structure was then externally clad with the Tenax material by means of a custom "sandwich" plate design that allowed it to be coupled to the truss with conventional half couplers and it to be tensioned from the floor to remove any slack. After being powder coated to match the orange color of the fence the plates would become almost invisible from the ground.
Finally, various signage promoting the event and reinforcing the Icon as the centerpiece were hung on the outside of the Tenex via a near invisible steel wire rope system. The largest and heaviest signage on one side, that exclaiming "SBXLI" and the NFL shield were rigged from CM Lodestar chain hoists hidden in the top truss using a custom chain diversion system to allow the chain to leave the truss and divert up and over the structure to the correct position for the signage to hang. This design also allowed the signage to be removed extremely quickly in the threat of high winds.
When lit from both the inside and outside of the structure the 100 foot Icon came to life and easily achieved its goal of becoming the obvious centerpiece to both the NFL Experience event and the festivities surrounding it.

Even when Tiger Woods' golf game was in the dumps, he was still turning in solid performances at the Masters, so there's bound to be plenty of excitement this week about his chances of winning at Augusta. And about paying off in Vegas, where tons of Masters prop odds have Tiger's fingerprints on them.
Although Woods hasn't won he Masters since 2005, he's been in contention at the major tournament every single year. And after his win two weeks ago, bettors immediately hopped on his 7/1 Masters odds and quickly bet it down to 4/1. And given his success at Augusta, maybe that's with good reason. Woods' last seven results at the Masters:
- 2011 – T-Fourth
- 2010 – T-Fourth
- 2009 – T-Sixth
- 2008 –Second
- 2007 – T-Second
- 2006 – T-Second
- 2005 – First
Going back even further, Woods has ended up in the top-10 at Augusta 12 of 15 times since 1997, the year he claimed his first green jacket. His "off" years came in 1999 (T-18th), 2003 (T-15th) and 2004 (T-22nd), withs wins in both 2001 and 2002.
And that's why betting on Woods to at least be in contention at the Masters is always a popular wager, with sportsbooks this year listing him at -300 to end up in the top-10, and at 4/5 to finish in the top-five. He is even favored to be the first-round leader and in head-to-head betting lines against Rory McIlroy.
In all the Tiger hoopla, however, let's not forget about his long-time rival, Phil Mickelson. Lefty fell out of contention at the Masters last year – he ended up in 27th place – but he's won the tournament three times and turned in these recent results:
- 2011 – T-27th
- 2010 – First
- 2009 –Fifth
- 2008 – T-Fifth
- 2007 – T-24th
- 2006 – First
- 2005 – 10th
- 2004 – First
- 2003 – Third
- 2002 – Third
- 2001 – Third
- 2000 – T-Seventh
- 1999 – T-Sixth
That's 11 top-10 results since 1999 at the Masters for Mickelson, and eight top-5 finishes. And when you wager on Lefty on the golf odds, you get a little more value than when you bet on Woods – the sportsbooks tracked by OddsShark.com have him at -130 to end up in the top-10 at Augusta this week, at 2/1 to finish in the top-5, and at 11/1 to take home his fourth green jacket and fifth major title.
Tiger vs. Phil is also a popular prop wager at the sportsbooks, with Woods a -155 favorite over the +120 underdog Mickelson to post the lower score this week. And if you're feeling really lucky – and missed out on the Mega Millions jackpot -- you can also find +10,000 odds on either Woods or Mickelson getting a hole-in-one at Augusta National this week. Other golfers in the top group of contenders on the odds to win The Masters this week: Rory McIlroy (11/2), Luke Donald (16/1), Lee Westwood (16/1), and Hunter Mahan (28/1), with defending champ Charl Schwartzel set at 33/1 odds to win.

Foreign Language Education for all Elementary School Students
Original post made by Mary Shannon on Jun 8, 2006
If not during the school day, how about a good afterschool program located at the school (2 or 3 days a week, with scholarships for anyone who needs it)? It seems better for the kids to have it all at one place. My understanding is that teachers generally need their classrooms to get ready for the next day, thus there is little room for such a program (at least at Duveneck).
Any groups working on such goals?
on Jun 9, 2006 at 3:39 pm
You might look into the Italian and Hebrew programs as beginning models of what's possible. I _think_ there's even an off-campus Mandarin program.
The Assoc. Superintendent of Curriculum at PAUSD should have more information about these programs, especially teh Italian nprogram, which had to be vetted through the district.
It seems to me that a public/private partnership might even be possible (with a language school), but tht would take some diligence and preparation.

Many parents would like to see our school district offer foreign language instruction to all elementary school students as part of the regular curriculum (as opposed to private, after-school programs, of which there are a wide variety, including some offered at PAUSD school sites). The breadth of that support has become even clearer in the wake of the debate over Mandarin Immersion (MI) as many parents, both those who support MI and those who oppose it, have said they support "FLES" -- foreign language in elementary schools.
The reason for that support is not surprising. The 21st century has ushered in a truly global economy and students who learn a second (and even a third language) today will be at advantage in in tomorrow's job market. What's more, learning another language allows one to gain a much better understanding of another culture and, in doing so, to appreciate the diversity of cultures around the world.
The good news for all of us in Palo Alto is that the school board has clearly heard the interest parents have in FLES and, I believe, many or all of the board members share that interest. I have offered to form a task force in the fall that will, bring together members of the community with representatives from the school district to figure out how best to implement FLES in our schools. There are two significant challenges -- financial resources (i.e., hiring foreign language teachers) and time in the school day -- but I have no doubt the community can come together and figure out a way to provide quality foreign language instruction for all our elementary school students.
I would be interested to hear how other members of the community feel about FLES. Please post your thoughts. Do you support it? If so, how do you think it should be done (part of the current school day, extend the school day, etc.)? Where would the financial resources come from to hire the teachers? What language(s) should be taught and how do deal with different parents wanting their children to learn different languages? How do you deal with children in the same grade who have signficant differences in their knowledge of a second language?
on Jun 11, 2006 at 8:00 pm
I am convinced that, in the near term, there is no way PAUSD will offer foreign language instruction during the school day in elementary school. My two main reasons are:
1) Each school would have to choose one foreign language. RIGHT THERE you've got a major problem, since there will always be arguments as to which language to offer.
2) Adding foreign language enrichment means that time for this has to be carved out of the existing school day. There is NO way PAUSD is going to increase the length of the school day. Teachers will most likely push back on this and require that something else be cut back (art, music, PE, etc) to accomodate the new material. It's just too contentious.
The district has indicated they are in favor of starting a World Language Taskforce, but unfortunately, they don't have any money for the oversight of such a taskforce. So, in lieu of that, I am hoping to start putting together some ideas this summer and look into what it would take to have quality afterschool foreign language classes
across the district (elementary school level). Not just Mandarin, but a variety of languages that students can choose from. As an example, from my analysis of what the district provides in terms of subsidized summer school offerings every year, I believe strongly that such a plan could be designed and implemented.
Check out this link, showing the middle school offerings this summer:
Web Link
The selection of classes, taught by credentialled teachers, is impressive! These classses are subsidized. As you may know, some
required summer school classes for elementary students are provided free of charge.
This same type of quality program design could be done for afterschool foreign langauge enrichment. The classes may have to be more than once per week to be truly effective. The goal would be to offer quality classes, taught by credentialled teachers, NOT daycare. There would also be the ability for students to "graduate"
to the next level class in that particular language, if they show mastery at their current level. It would be great to take advantage of existing technology enablers, like Internet websites that could offer review and practice (with audio) for students to use between classes.
If we could get active participants from schools across the district, we would have enough manpower to investigate and design such a program and propose it to the district.
I think it's an exciting prospect and one which is long overdue.

A new study is adding to evidence of a connection between Breast and Ovarian Cancers. Swedish researchers studied 30,000 women with Breast Cancer under the age of 70. After six years, they found these women to be twice as likely as women in the general population to develop Ovarian Cancer as well. The risk was particularly high in women who were diagnosed with Breast Cancer before the age of 40. The study also found that a family history of Breast Cancer or Ovarian Cancer also increased the risk of Ovarian Cancer. The researchers added that since there is no real screening method for Ovarian Cancer, women who determine thy have the highest risk of Ovarian Cancer may consider removal of the ovaries as the best prevention.
Researchers also found that patients who had a family history of Breast Cancer had a five to six-fold higher chance than other women of eventually developing Ovarian Cancer. But Breast Cancer patients with a family history of Ovarian Cancer had a 17-fold increased risk compared to the women of developing Ovarian Cancer. The research was conducted at the Karolinska Institute in Stockholm, Sweden.
Stroke Unispacer, a small, kidney-shaped device, is offering new hope to patients looking for an alternative to knee replacement surgery. The Unispacer Knee System is designed to help men and women with early stage Osteoarthritis. The cobalt and chrome device is inserted within the knee's natural structure and aligns itself with the patient's normal knee motion. There's no bone cement or screw, and surgeons are able to preserve as much of the natural bone as possible.
Add a little fat to your diet, it could help reduce your risk of stroke. New research finds heart healthy benefits in certain cooking oils. Could a dose of sunflower oil help prevent a stroke? Ongoing research finds foods rich in Linoleic Acid, a fatty acid found in corn, sunflower and safflower oils and soybeans, may protect a person from the most common type of stroke caused by blood clots. An 8-year study of more than 7,000 men and women found a reduced risk of stroke in people with high levels of the fatty acid. Researchers believe Linoleic Acid may lower blood pressure and reduce the blood's ability to stick together, or form clots. A second study in rats found the acid also helped improve memory problems linked to hypertension. Researchers say more studies are needed to figure out dosing and possible side effects, but say their findings suggest adding a dose of the fatty acid may help keep you healthy. Nutrition experts note a diet high in refined fats and oils actually inhibits our body's ability to use the essential fatty acids we consume. There is no recommended dietary allowance (RDA) for Linoleic acid. The Linoleic acid blood pressure study was published in the august issue of stroke: Journal of the American Heart Association the Linoleic acid memory study was conducted at Loyola university medical center, and is being presented at the American Physiological Society .

PHOENIX (AP) - Federal immigration officials on Friday released the mother of an immigration activist, less than a day after the woman and another relative were arrested at the family's Phoenix-area home.
Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents "did not target" the relatives of activist Erika Andiola because of her role with the Dream Act Coalition, the agency said in a statement provided to The Associated Press.
ICE officials also said Andiola was released with an order of supervision, meaning she must check in periodically with the agency.
Andiola earlier said ICE agents told her that there was a long-pending deportation order for her mother, an immigrant from Mexico. Andiola questioned whether that actually prompted the arrest.
"They knew who I was and they know what I did," she said. "I'm really surprised that they came after my family because of the activism that I do."
The mother, Maria Arreola, 53, and a 35-year-old brother of Andiola were arrested Thursday evening at the family home in Mesa.
Family members said the brother, Heriberto Andiola, was detained because he refused to answer ICE agents' questions.
The daughter said agents asked for her mother.
"The minute she got close to the door, they handcuffed her and they took her," the daughter said.
Heriberto Andiola was released early Friday, while the mother was released Friday afternoon after being returned to Phoenix from an immigration detention center in Florence, Ariz.
Another brother, Angel Fernandez, said his mother told family members that she was on a bus to the border when the driver got a call and was told to return to Florence.
However, ICE officials said Friday that Maria Arreola was never on a bus to Nogales and she was returned to Phoenix from a staging area in Florence.
Before Maria Arreola was released, she was told she could remain in the United States for at least a year and might get a work permit, according to Fernandez. "She's pretty ecstatic right now," he said.
In releasing the relatives, ICE exercised its case-by-case discretion based on initial reviews, said ICE Press Secretary Barbara Gonzales, adding that "a fuller review of the cases is currently ongoing."
Immigration activists denounced the detentions, saying they showed a need for broad changes in immigration policy to end family separations.
"We cannot keep fixing this one worker, one family member at a time," said Marielena Hincapie, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center.
