Bull Trout (Salvelinus confluentus)
Bull trout are a cold-water fish of relatively pristine stream and lake habitats in western North America. They are protected under the Endangered Species Act.
Bull trout decline can be contributed to human activities such as development, logging and agriculture that have degraded its habitat.
Of all salmonids, bull trout are excellent indicators of water quality. Today, water quantity has decreased, water quality has diminished, and introduced, non-native fish like brook and lake trout have competed with bull trout for their native habitat.
Protecting and restoring bull trout habitat improves the water quality of rivers and lakes throughout the west. When habitat is improved, bull trout have a greater chance of recovery.

The Economic Times
NEW DELHI: Indian manufacturers of solar equipment are seeking anti-dumping duty on imports from China, Malaysia, Taiwan and the US on the grounds that local industry is bleeding because of "ridiculously low" price of foreign equipment.
The industry wants anti-dumping in imports of solar photovoltaic (PV) cells and modules, and has filed an application to the directorate general of anti-dumping and allied duties (DGAD).
How to Make Renewable Energy Competitive
Renewable energy needs help. Technological innovation has significantly reduced the cost of solar panels, wind turbines and other equipment, but renewable energy still needs serious subsidies to compete with conventional energy. Today, help comes mostly in the form of federal tax breaks.

Day-to-day operations for New Jersey State Troopers can range from stopping motorists for driving violations to making arrests on dangerous criminals.
Sometimes they're called on to assist in a different kind of emergency. Like delivering a baby.
That's exactly what happened on Friday, May 9 on Rt. 206 in Sussex County. Kimberly and Robert Giarratano were en route to Morristown Medical Center from their Pennsylvania home when the soon-to-be mom's labor pains intensified, according to New Jersey State Police.
At that point the family – with four- and two-year-old sons in tow – decided to reroute to Newton Hospital and called 9-1-1 for a police escort.
Troopers William Cisko and Luis Jacinto of the Sussex Barracks responded and found the family's minivan parked in lot of the Frankford Township Municipal Building.

Investigators say the victim was shot inside his car. His wife of 17 years, who was also in the car, gave police a description of the gunman.Police say the victim, Ellis Blue, and the other man had just gotten into an argument, and witnesses told them the man approached Blue's wife and was talking to her. When they backed out of the parking lot, the man walked up to the driver's side of the car and fired a shot into the car. Blue's wife told police she saw glass flying and realized her husband had been hit. Investigators say the bar was packed with people when the shooting happened, and they think that someone out there knows exactly who pulled the trigger. CrimeStoppers has offered a $2,000 reward in the case.

In a game where the Texans lost rookie RB Ben Tate to a right ankle injury, first-string RB Arian Foster impressed in the Texans' preseason opener at Arizona, rushing for 31 yards on four carries. Foster got the start and played the first two series of the game. Steve Slaton, listed second on the depth chart at running back and likely to contribute in passing situations and play frequently, caught one pass for 21 yards but gained just 22 yards rushing on 10 carries. Also, he fumbled on a 3rd-and-goal carry at the Arizona 1-yard line, and the Cardinals recovered for a touchback. Fumbles plagued Slaton last season — he had seven in just 11 games, five of which were recovered by the opposition. Tate suffered the injury on a 12-yard run on just his second carry of the game. On Aug. 15, head coach Gary Kubiak said Tate's injury was "very significant" and would require surgery.

L&S Computer Acquisition Program (CAP)
The primary source of new computers for L&S departments is the Computer Acquisition Program, which is intended to develop an equivalent computing experience for all L&S employees by annually subsidizing upgrades to the existing office computers of faculty and staff. As such, the College maintains a number of exceptions regarding potential CAP replacements. Existing L&S computers are ineligible for CAP replacement if:
- the computer purchase was grant funded
- the primary user is not a university faculty or staff member with a 100% appointment
- the new computer will be used by a center, lab, or other non-teaching department
- the new computer will be used as a faculty member's secondary machine
Identification of Potential CAP Recipients
Working closely with LSITO, L&S Administration determines CAP allocations based on the amount of CAP funding available to the College, also taking into account the number of full-time faculty and staff in all L&S departments. To ensure that all L&S computing needs are met, the College expects to make annual CAP allocation decisions based on:
- a comprehensive ongoing audit of L&S departmental computer capacity and configurations; and
- an assessment of the business-related computing needs of all L&S faculty and staff
CAP Deployment and Support
Following this assessment, LSITO will purchase a number of standardly configured, highly capable desktop computers for distribution to all CAP recipients. All CAP-purchased replacements distributed to L&S departments will be:
- initially shipped from the vendor to LSITO
- extensively prepared and deployed with the latest L&S image
- exclusively delivered and set up by LSITO technicians
- configured with restored data/settings from the existing computer
- backed by the support of LSITO
Recipients may optionally choose a laptop or to upgrade their desktop computer beyond the CAP standard; however, these funds must be from departmental, grant, or other university funding sources—personal funds cannot be applied to the purchase of University hardware.
"Cascade" Reclamation Program
All computers replaced under the CAP program will be reconfigured for use in the College's "cascade" reclamation program. Delivery of the new CAP computer is contingent on this replacement process. A CAP recipient may elect to retain their current computer rather than receive the new CAP computer, and they will be returned to the CAP list for the next annual replacement cycle. Provided that the reclaimed computer is able to run the current L&S image, LSITO will:
- thoroughly delete any existing files on the computer
- configure the machine with the latest L&S image
- redeploy the machine to an appropriate L&S department or unit
All obsolete computers will be dismantled and surplused by LSITO according to College policy.

Duke entered national signing day last week with one solid commitment and high hopes for others.
Eight days later, the Blue Devils have emerged with the top recruiting class in the nation.
Justise Winslow chose Duke on Thursday, the fourth 5-star recruit to sign with the Blue Devils.
Winslow, a 6-foot-5 wing and Scout.coms No. 10 player overall, joined center Jahlil Okafor, the No. 1 overall prospect, point guard Tyus Jones, No. 4 overall, and shooting guard Grayson Allen, No. 24. Okafor and Jones picked Duke last Friday. Allen started the surge on signing day.
The Blue Devils No. 1 class will be hard to top, said Evan Daniels, a recruiting analyst for Scout.com. (Keep an eye on center Myles Turner, ranked No. 2 overall, as the Blue Devils have been in contact with him and could keep pursuing him, along with Kansas and others.) The Recruiting Service Consensus Index, which combines the ranking efforts of several national recruiting analysts, projects Dukes class to finish No. 1, which would mark the third time since its began in 1998 that Duke took the top spot.
Were ecstatic about the four young men that are coming to Duke, coach Mike Krzyzewski said in a statement. Grayson Allen committed to us very early. We believe hes an explosive wing. Terrific offensive and defensive player. We consider Jahlil Okafor as good a big man as there is in the country, but not just a big man, we think hes a great basketball player. Hes had an amazing amount of experience playing for the United States and for a great high school program. In Tyus Jones, I think we have the best point guard in the country. Someone who has won state championships, USA championships and is the consummate leader on the court. Justise Winslow is a great wing player. He is a guy that can guard every position and is an amazing rebounder and scorer.
A factor that cant be overlooked in Dukes recruiting recruiting success, Daniels said, is the impact of assistant coach Jeff Capel, who joined the staff prior to the 2011-12 seasons. Capel was the point man, Daniels said, for recent Duke recruits Rodney Hood, Jabari Parker, Okafor, Jones and Winslow.
Hes played a major role, Daniels said of Capel. Hes established relationships with a lot of these elite kids. Obviously Coach K is the one that has to go in and seal the deal, but Jeff Capel does a lot of the groundwork. Hes a tremendous asset, and I think hell be getting a head job in the near future.
The 1999 class with Carlos Boozer, Mike Dunleavy, Jay Williams and Casey Sanders, all McDonalds All-Americans, finished No. 1 overall in the RSCI (Andre Buckner and Nick Horvath were also recruited that year). That class scored a combined 5,694 points at Duke and brought home the 2001 national championship.
The 2002 class was the other that finished ranked No. 1, with three 5-stars and 4-stars apiece (J.J. Redick, Shavlik Randolph, Shelden Williams, Lee Melchionni, Sean Dockery and Michael Thompson who transferred to Northwestern in his sophomore year). That group scored a combined 6,471 points on campus, the second highest scoring class in Duke history.
There are two other classes that are in contention for Dukes best class ever 1982 and 1997. McDonalds All-American Johnny Dawkins, along with Jay Bilas, Mark Alarie and David Henderson, ushered in the modern era of Duke basketball, gave Krzyzewski his first Final Four appearance in 1986 and scored a combined 7,324 points, the highest scoring class in Duke history. And the 1997 class of Shane Battier, Elton Brand, William Avery and Chris Burgess (who transferred to Utah) scored 4,200 points and produced three first-round picks.
With Jones, Okafor, Winslow and Allen, the Blue Devils becomes the early front-runner for the 2014 national championship. And thats ultimately how classes are judged at Duke.
Winslow, Dukes latest commit, can guard multiple positions thanks to his lateral quickness. His athleticism extends above the rim, as he first dunked in eighth grade, his high school coach, Harold Baber, said at his announcement.
This summer, Winslow was a part of the United States U19 team that won the FIBA World Championships in Prague, Czech Republic, along with Okafor and current Blue Devil Rasheed Sulaimon. Winslow and Okafor were the only rising high school seniors on the squad.
The thing about Justise is he can impact the game in so many ways, Daniels said. Hes not necessarily a great scorer, but he does everything else. He rebounds, he defends, hes a good passer. Most importantly, he wins. Hes a tremendous athlete. Hes got this well-balanced all-around game.
Like I said, hes never going to be accused of being a big-time scorer, but he does pretty much everything else on the basketball floor at a pretty high level.
With Winslow joining Dukes previous three commits in this class, the Blue Devils will be in position to continue to compete for national championships.
Hes gearing up to make another run, Daniels said of Krzyzewski. When youre able to secure commitments like this, it gives you a pretty good advantage. Hes arguably one of the best, if not the best, coach in college basketball, and you give him this type of talent, its going to make it a lot easier on him.

If you are a student using tuition assistance or veteran benefits, the government shutdown will affect you.
The impact on these federally funded programs varies for students. Tuition assistance for classes that start today or after Oct. 1, have been suspended.
Those who use veterans' benefits have more time. They won't know until spring semester, since the VA has already paid in full for the fall semester.
Either way, these students wake up worried every single day.
Richard Balogun is a soldier, a husband, a father, and a Central Texas college student. He is finishing up a motor vehicle class and hopes one day to be an engineer.
The federally funded tuition assistance program pays for his education, but starting today and everyday after October 1st, requests for classes will be denied.
This hurts Richard's progress because he planned to sign up for a new class in a few weeks.
"I feel it's a pity I can't continue my education because it will stop me on the middle of the bridge," said Balogun. "It's like I'm following a bridge and under that bridge and its breaking in the middle. That's me. That's my destination. I've been looking to my destination but I can't get to there."
Skilled classes are the most impacted says CTC, because anyone can enroll at any time. Most classes have set start dates and have already begun and they will not be affected.
Starting October 1 soldiers who use TA will log onto Goarmyed to find rejected enrollments each morning until the government shutdown is lifted.
While TA students feel the impact today, those who use veteran benefits will be hurting come spring semester.
"It's going to end up having a domino effect," said Basilla Flores, certification coordinator at Mary Hardin-Baylor.
"Tuition assistance, if it doesn't get paid, it's going to come out of the pocket of the student. On the veteran's side, come spring semester, I can bill for the student but we don't know when that money is going to come to the school," she said.
For a veteran and single mother of three, these benefits are everything.
"I am a single parent so if I was to completely lose all of this, I would have no way to pay the bills at all," said Cassandra Jenkins, a CTC student and veteran who served eight years in the military and spent over a year in Iraq.
Goarmyed warns soldiers that they might incur additional debt if they attend classes that are rejected as a result of the shutdown.

I don't recall meeting this person before. Have we met with a Meliar during the adventure? I remember "Balor" the dwarf (and his dog)...
Jax breathes a deep sigh of relief. Then, he cheerfully exclaims "I'm not dead!" He lets out a long howl in triumph. "Yahooooooooo!!!! Oh, but the shadow is still here. Let's be off quickly! We'll ransack everything. And then we go. Come on: quick, quick!"
The rogue goes to Veneficus's corpse and starts poking at him... feeling for signs of life maybe? No, more like frisking him for valuables. Jax points to the staff. "Crag, did you want that?" He lifts the mud-staff and tosses it to the warden.close the world, .txEn eht nepo

The group searches the area quickly and Jax's keen koboldian instincts turn up a hidden cache of items in what must have been the temple's vault. There seems to be something useful for everyone, as well as some nice "shinies" for everyone.
Crag departs shortly after the group exits the temple saying he must find someone to close the staff and Meepo looks for somewhere to build his hoard.
There are still mysteries left unsolved, what organization did Veneficus and/or Ezren work for, what dangers still exist for Daunton, who would want to release the creature trapped in the staff? Perhaps time will tell...

Jax has been feeling strangely ever since he was drenched in the spray of dragon's blood. As he walks to the treasure cache, he notices his steps are noticeably more precise - more exacting. It's almost as if he can sense the most stable piece of earth to step on without having to look. Perhaps the dragon's blood awakened something deep within his own? He decides to investigate this further... but not now. Even if he did gain some new power, he is far too tired to make use of it at present.
Jax quickly extracts a rusty set of gauntlets (apparently drenched with blood) and a portion of the coin stockpile. He must be weary indeed, as the share of the gold he appoints to himself is not quite as much as those claimed by his companions.
"Okay, I'm set. Heh, and I'm even in a good mood! Hey, let's set that halfling free, maybe? Besides, filing a police report is... er... not for me."
oocWow, that's a lot of xp.
R1, it's been an excellent game. Thanks very much for having us - and for not killing us.
Everyone else, it was fun! Great teamwork all around. My thanks to Crag for being a melee partner for Jax a lot of the time.
close the world, .txEn eht nepo

After helping tend to the others' wounds, Ingot cleans its blade and armor. The mud and earth has made quite a mess but with judicious application of acid drips from its blade, it is able to get them to a decent level of cleanliness after a little while.
It wishes Crag luck in his continuing quest with the staff. "Please, do not hesitate to call on me for help if you need it," it tells him, and salutes with its blade as the other warforged departs.
Ingot thanks Jax politely for its split of the treasure, pinning a battered brooch to its chest and sliding oddly warm bracers over its forearms. "Yes, I agree about the halfling," it says. "Let's return to Daunton and the tavern. I think I desire to try another drink..."
oocThanks for the adventure, renau1g! It was lots of fun. That last battle was pretty intense, how nasty to spring a dragon on us like that!
Too bad Kalidrev had to up and disappear, it would have been interesting to continue... Ah well.

Kyocera EOS
Now, now, now, please?
Most fans and followers of Industrial Design agree that there's been a drought in technology design innovation, of late, but fear not, for that drought is finally over; Inhabit and Kyocera recently unveiled a prototype for a new phone over which the design world, its fans, and gadget geeks everywhere are currently oooing and aahing–the Kyocrea EOS, a kinetic flexible OLED phone. If you love design, it should make you squee! with joy–you may just do so regardless.
Look at it. It is beautiful. The simplicity of its minimalist design makes the iPhone look like the Griswold house at Christmas time, and with a form factor the approximate dimensions of a small wallet (not ham), it makes the iPhone look bloated, as well.

These Relationship Villanelle poems are examples of Villanelle poems about Relationship. These are the best examples of Relationship Villanelle poems written by international PoetrySoup poets
If I give my love to you
And this is no fantasy
Promise me you will be true
Darling why are you so blue
Don't deny your ecstasy
When I give my love to you
After all that we've been thru
Don't give up so easily
Promise me you will be true
Our love we can renew
Cast away your misery
When I give my love to you
Sometimes we may go askew
But our ship will sail this sea
If we both will remain true
Friends and lovers are too few
But this is no fantasy
If I give my love to you
Promise me you will be true
Someone tell me
If it's easy being
A lover and a friend?
This is a villanelle with a questionku.
Mother, mother can't you see?
How much are you putting the needle,
Deep inside of my heart?
I know the pain won't go away!
I know you are blind to see the truth!
Pain pain pain,
When will you go away?
Anger, hate & discouragement
Always comes my way!
What am I supposed to do?
I feel alone deep inside,
I feel the empty pressure against my chest,
In a prison of hate,
I am sick of the people who I love,
Betraying me & ruining the trust,
God above who sees your actions,
I hope He will never forgives you,
For you who keep on sin.
One day you will see
Throw my eyes & my pain,
One day you will stop on pretend,
Realize your mistakes,
It will be too late,
I will be gone far away,
I will never come back again!

Decision on women bishops welcomed in East Lancashire (From This Is Lancashire)
Decision on women bishops welcomed in East Lancashire
9:25am Tuesday 15th July 2014 in News By Bill Jacobs, Local government reporter
THE leader of Lancashire's Anglicans, the Right Reverend Julian Henderson, has hailed yesterday's vote for women bishops in the Church of England as 'a historic step'.
The Bishop of Blackburn welcomed the move despite his deputy and Bishop of Burnley John Goddard voting against it.
The vote at the Church of England's ruling General Synod ended a long dispute and could see the first females ordained to its top rank by the end of next year.
Bishop Julian voted against the last proposal in November 2012 because of concerns over the protection of Anglicans opposed to the change but made clear his support in the right circumstances.
Last month he ordained women priests in Blackburn Cathedral, something his predecessors Alan Chesters and Nich- olas Reade declined to do.
Last night Bishop Julian said: "I am delighted General Synod has taken this historic step which means women will now take their place alongside men as Bishops in the future.
"I am fully supportive of women clergy serving in every part of the Church's leadership."
Bishop John, who retires at the end of this month said: "The unity of the Church is very important to me. "Anything that could disrupt it I have thought theologically carefully about and then taken a stance.
"On principle therefore I voted against the measure.
"I am pleased we seem to have found a way through in relation to this issue."
All Anglican Dioceses, including Blackburn, voted in favour of women bishops.
Canon Fleur Green, the Bishop of Blackburn's adviser on women's ministry said: "This is a great day for the Church of England."
Archbishop of Canterbury, Justin Welby, said there is a "good chance" the first woman bishop would be announced by the end of 2015.
Yesterday's vote will now go to the ecclesiastical committee of Parliament.
The General Synod will meet again on November 17, to confirm formally that women can become bishops.
It is unlikely any female names will go forward to the Queen and Downing Street until Spring next year with the first women bishops appointed by the end of 2015.
It is hoped that the Right Revere4nd Goddard's successor as the new Bishop of Burnley will be chosen by the end of the year.

I like to visit churches to admire the architecture. I can't see anything wrong for anyone believing in a God providing they keep their beliefs to themselves. It's sometimes annoying when people knock on my door to share their belief. However, not being a believer in any of the many Gods that are supposed to rule our lives I do wish they didn't want to make everyone believe what they believe in. Give me proof that there is a God but all I see are people hurting themselves and others because of what they believe in!
I believe that Gods are a product of our imagination in an effort to make some rational reason for our existence. Can anyone prove there really is a God somewhere?

Unless you need to be shown, I'm not going anywhere on anything. So unless you can show in some way that you are honestly interested in finding and fulfiling what you are looking for, I can't see how even the Lord of the Universe in person, could help you.

Cochon Heritage Fire is a celebration of mouth-watering, carnivore-friendly fare. Last Saturday, prominent local and visiting chefs (including Jason Vincent from Chicago's Nightwood, the 2012 Grand Cochon winner) convened at the River Terrace Inn in Napa to dish up a variety of enticing bites, highlighting heritage breed goats, lamb, pigs, rabbits, foraged mushrooms, and wild birds. Breaking Down a Pig What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Dave the Butcher, from Marina Meats, put on quite the show with his extensive butchery demonstration.

This version perked up the old standard, thanks to a mix of Templeton Rye, Amaro Nonino, Maraschino Liqueur, sweet vermouth, dry vermouth, orange bitters, and Angostura bitters. 6 / 19 Brick-Fired Chicken What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Ronnie New of Magnolia Gastropub and Brewery knocked it out of the park with his Belcampo chicken smoked under a brick. Its crisp skin and succulent flesh were enhanced by a bright and zippy smoked Meyer lemon and caper salsa verde. 7 / 19 Spicy Thai Pork Sausage and Brick-Fired Chicken What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Brick-fired chicken and spicy Thai pork sausage sizzled on the grill, making this event a carnivore's paradise. 8 / 19 Spicy Thai Pork Sausage What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 A salad composed of compressed watermelon, heirloom tomatoes, and Thai basil complemented a spicy Thai and cheddar smoked pork sausage from Dennis Lee of Namu Gaji. 9 / 19 2011 Qualia Sauvignon Blanc What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Qualia's 2011 Sauvignon Blanc was dangerously quaffable, thanks to its enticing passionfruit perfume. 11 / 19 Albacore Tuna Taco What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Jason Vincent of Chicago's Nightwood (and the 2012 Grand Cochon winner) served up fire-roasted albacore tuna for a taco bar, which included toppings like pasilla negro (black chile), avocado, cotija cheese, banana peppers, and cilantro.

All of which helped cut through the fat of this loaded feast. 12 / 19 BBQ Oysters What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lars Kronmark of the Culinary Institute of America at Greystone served briny barbecued oysters from British Colombia, sparingly dressed with barbecue sauce. 13 / 19 Seasoning the "Beef Sushi" What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Chef Kronmark was happy to demonstrate his seasoning technique. Here he adds an ample pinch of paprika to the ground beef mixture. 14 / 19 "Beef Sushi" What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 The Tuscan-spiced "beef sushi" crostini went fast and was constantly replenished by Chef Kronmark of the CIA at Greystone. 15 / 19 Rico the Truffle Hunting Dog What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 While Rico didn't sniff out the truffles used to stud Todd Spanier's pig, he was nonetheless a charming example of the talented creatures used to sniff out prized Perigord truffles. 16 / 19 Lost Coast Brewery Beer What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Lost Coast Brewery served up a flight of their assorted beers, including a lovely tangerine-perfumed wheat beer that's perfect for Summer. 17 / 19 Lamb and Pita Chips What's Your Reaction? 0 0 0 0 0 0 Duskie Estes and John Stewart of Zazu showcased "Zasumac" (their proprietary sumac spice blend).

Women's soccer inks five during signing period
Coming off one of the most successful campaigns in five years, the JU women's soccer team is continuing to build by signing five players for the 2011 season.
The Dolphins added midfielder Jessica Caltaldo Ramirez (Agoura Hills, Calif.), forward Dana Larocque (Venice, Fla.), defender Miranda Fyfe (Boca Roaton, Fla.), forward Kaitlyn Bassett (Littleton, Colorado) and Julia Burton (Hamonds Plains, Nova Scotia) to next season's roster.
"I am excited about the level of talent and ability we have signed in our 2011 class," said JU head coach Brian Copham, who earned A-Sun "Coach of the Year" honors in 2010. "We are coming off a successful 2010 campaign and expect this talented class to make significant contributions as we pursue a conference championship.
"This class is diverse with many individuals that can play many different positions. Their high level experience and athletic abilities will allow them to make significant contributions immediately. We look forward to having them join us on campus this fall."
Cataldo Ramirez, a midfielder from Agoura High School, earned all-conference honors during the last two seasons. She also was awarded team "Offensive MVP" honors and received the "Principal Scholar Athlete of the Year" outside of the pitch all four years.
As a member of one of California's most prestigious soccer clubs, the Camarillo Eagles, she helped the team win the Far West Regional Championship in 2010 and guided them to a fourth place finish in the California Coast Soccer Premier League.
"Jessica is a tremendous young lady and very talented soccer player," said Eagles head coach Mike Alexander. "She has the ability to play multiple positions on the field effectively. Her work ethic and understanding of the game separates her from the others. She will be a valuable asset to the program"
"Jessica is a dynamic player that can play numerous positions and fill many roles," said Copham. "We look forward to her coming and using her distribution, vision, and ability on the ball to make an immediate impact in our already talented midfield next fall."
Larocque scored 88 goals over the last four years at Venice High School in Venice, Fla. For her efforts, she was named to the all-area team as a senior and received Sarasota Herald Tribune "High School Player of the Year" honors during her junior season. As a vital member the Clearwater Chargers soccer club, Larocque helped her team finish first at the Disney Qualifier in 2010 and reach the Southern Regional Championships in 2008. She also helped lead the Florida Rush soccer team to the Florida State Cup finals in 2009 and 2010.
"Dana has the abilities to become a very good striker in college," said Chargers head coach Garth Pollonais. "She has shown great attitude, desire, discipline and work ethic. She has the natural instinct for the goal. I believe she will be a tremendous asset JU."
"Dana is a very opportunistic forward," said Copham. "She not only scores good goals, but also creates many chances for herself and her teammates. I look forward to Dana coming in and adding to our offense right away."
Fyfe, a defender from American Heritage High School, has served as the team captain since the eighth grade. As a senior, she led her school to a state title, while earning all-county honors along the way.
Fyfe is a member of Team Boca, one of Florida's top youth soccer clubs, and has helped guide them to three Florida State Cup titles, a 2008 Region III Premier League East Championship and a top-four finish in the 2009 Southern Regionals. She has also participated in the Olympic Development Program (ODP) being selected to Florida ODP state team and the Region 3 Regional team in 2010.
"Miranda has been the rock of our defense since I have coached this team," said Team Boca head coach Brian Dooley. "She's strong both technically and tactically, while also being matched up against some of the best players in the country. She'll be ready to come in to compete immediately."
"Miranda is an excellent defender," said Copham. "She uses her knowledge of the game and her composure on the ball to help organize and coordinate her defenses. She will be a great fit in our defensive system and help solidify our back line."
Bassett, a four-year starter at forward, led Chatfield Senior High School to a state title in 2010 and a league championship in 2009. As a senior, she was named first team all-conference as the team captain. Bassett also demonstrated her talents in track & field by running the 400 and 4x400-sprint medley.
At the club soccer level, she has excelled as a member of one of the premier soccer clubs in the country, the Colorado Rush. Her U-18 team has won the Colorado State Cup Championship in 2008, 2009, and 2010. They have also been regional quarterfinalists and are considered one of the top teams in the Elite Clubs National League (ECNL).
"I am proud to have worked with Kaitlyn throughout her youth career," said Rush Technical Director Andrew Krammer. "She is a wonderful athlete and has made tremendous strides over the years in her development. Her spirit and competitiveness will make her a great asset to the program for the next four years."
Kaitlyn is a tremendous athlete that is always putting opposing defenses under pressure," said Copham. "She scores goals in big games and always creates match-up problems for opposing teams. We look forward to her coming to compete on our front line."
Burton played for Halifax West High School in Canada. She received several awards during her prep career, including "Rookie of the Year" and was named captain for the 2011 season. She has led her club soccer team, the Halifax County United, to a Provincial championship as well as a second place finish at the Canadian National Club Championships.
Burton has also been a member of the prestigious National Training Center since 2006 and has captained her provincial team in the National Championship. She also played on the Nova Scotia Canada Games team, the Nova Scotia Provincial All Stars and the Canada Games Ringette Team for Nova Scotia.
"Julia has been a very loyal member of Soccer Nova Scotia provincial program for the past seven years," said staff coach Danny Worthington. "She has been involved in the National Training Centre environment for the past three years and continues to grow as a player. I believe that she has the ability to be part of the backbone of any future program that she is involved in. Jacksonville is lucky to have this well rounded student-athlete for the next four years. Soccer Nova Scotia and the NTC-Atlantic wish her all the best and hopes to see her achieve her goals for the future."
"Julia brings a tremendous amount of experience and talent that we expect to translate into a very successful college career," said Copham. "She is a hard working player that is committed to her personal and team achievements. We look forward to her bringing her leadership and abilities to improve our program."

UK concern at Sudan death sentence
3:24pm Monday 19th May 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
The Foreign Office has summoned Sudan's charge d'affaires to express the UK's "deep concern" at the death sentence handed to a pregnant Sudanese woman for refusing to recant her Christian faith.
Sudanese diplomat Bukhari Afandi was called in for a meeting with a senior Foreign Office official over the case at the request of Foreign Secretary William Hague.
Meriam Ibrahim, whose father was Muslim but mother was an Orthodox Christian from Ethiopia, was convicted of apostasy and sentenced to death earlier this month.
A Foreign Office spokesman said: "At the request of the Foreign Secretary, the charge d'affaires at the Sudanese Embassy in the UK, Bukhari Afandi, was summoned to the Foreign Office today to meet political director Simon Gass.
"The political director expressed deep concern at the recent decision to sentence Meriam to death for apostasy and asked the Charge to urge his government to uphold its international obligations on freedom of religion or belief, and to do all it can to get this decision overturned."
After the sentence was passed last week, Africa minister Mark Simmonds said he was "appalled" at the "barbaric" punishment.

Liberty Middle School in West Orange, New Jersey, played center stage as actors helped provide a very real-life emergency scenario on Tuesday. In the drill, four gunmen entered a packed school building and opened fire. Inside teachers and students hid in their classrooms as cops ran in followed by a team of SWAT members.
Moments later, a vehicle parked in the school parking lot was packed with fireworks to demonstrate an IED explosion.
Inside, authorities took down the gunmen while the school principal got shot and killed. Other students were wounded in the incident and carried out to safety.
Outside the police crime tape Steven Savage played a terrified father who had his 13-year-old son inside while the shooters were on the loose.
Sgt. John Morella with the West Orange Police Department said his agency worked with state and federal authorities and conducted what was the largest active school drill ever done in New Jersey -- possibly the country.
He said that these types of drills will help law enforcement be as prepared as possible for the real thing.
The rill was funded by the Department of Homeland Security for $140,000. Video of the drill may be used to train law enforcement around the country for similar events.

On Your Toes presents two major obstacles for concert productions of the type Encores! has so successfully developed, namely a twelve-minute ballet in the first act and a culminating eighteen-minute ballet in the second. With a limited rehearsal period—in this case nine days, with an additional four for the two stars to work on the big ballet—and with limited floor space due to the onstage orchestra, full-scale ballets are tough to stage, rehearse and polish, especially when one of the ballets in question, "Slaughter on Tenth Avenue," is one of the earliest and most durable American ballets and remains in the popular repertory. (It was performed by the New York City Ballet just last Thursday.)
Even so, Encores!—which has just won a New York Drama Critics' Circle citation celebrating its first twenty years—and director/choreographer Warren Carlyle (Finian's Rainbow, Chaplin) have managed to pull together an On Your Toes that in some ways compares favorably to the show's Tony Award-winning 1983 revival.
Irina Dvorovenko, the Kiev-born ballerina who joined the American Ballet Theatre in 1996, takes top honors as Russian ballerina Vera Baronova. She dances well, naturally enough, but also has a charming way with comedy (albeit with a thick accent). Shonn Wiley (My Vaudeville Man) undertakes the Ray Bolger role as the hoofer-turned-college professor who unaccountably finds himself on his toes in the two ballets. Wiley excels in the hoofing component, although on opening night—after that brief rehearsal period—he did not yet demonstrate the level of musical comedy charm that the role calls for.

Most surprising among the evening's pleasures was the performance of the title song. This number, with about ten dance variations appended to the song proper, seemed to go on endlessly in the 1983 revival. Here, Carlyle has devised—to the original music—what is in effect a challenge dance between the sixteen "Broadway" dancers and the eight ballet dancers. The number, thus, build and builds to rousing effect.Continued...

Warm and Smoky Potato Salad
I love potato salad in all its infinite variations. But I'm highlighting this particular recipe because the bacon is a great lure for skeptical children, and most kids can be persuaded to harbor a serving on their plates if only to pick off and eat the bacon -- which is, at least, a start. Also, because the onions are briefly sautéed and marinated, the kids won't have to fear any inadvertent chomping into the spicy crunch of raw onions.
If you are not a bacon eater, go ahead and make this, but substitute olive oil for the bacon fat, and add a teaspoon of smoked paprika or chipotles. It will still be delicious.
The measurements are somewhat approximate here, which means that it is as important as ever to taste the salad -- as you're making it and before you serve it -- to make sure that it is adequately salted and seasoned.
2-3 pounds Yukon gold potatoes, washed, then halved and/or quartered (halve the smaller ones and quarter the larger ones; you can leave the wee babies whole)
kosher Salt
1/3-1/2 pound sliced bacon
1 red onion, halved and thinly sliced
1/2 cup cider vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon Dijon mustard
1/4 cup (or so) chopped parsley
a few snips of chives, if you've got them
- In a medium pot, cover the potatoes with a few inches of cold water, then salt the water heavily (when the salt dissolves, the water should taste salty) and bring it to a boil, covered, over high heat. Turn the heat down and simmer the potatoes until tender, around 15-20 minutes. Make sure the potatoes are not undercooked.
- Meanwhile, in a very wide skillet, fry the bacon over medium heat, turning as required, until it is crisp. Drain it on paper towels and evaluate the fat left behind: you want about a third of a cup; if you've got less, add a bloop or two of olive oil; if you've got more, pour a little off.
- Add the onions to the fat and stir over medium heat until they are just barely wilted, 2 or 3 minutes.
- Now add the vinegar, sugar, and 1 teaspoon of kosher salt to the pan and boil two minutes. Whisk in the mustard, and leave the onions to pickle briefly while you dice the potatoes.
- Dice the potatoes.
- In a large bowl, use a rubber spatula to combine the warm potatoes with the warm dressing/onion mixture, then taste for seasoning. Does it need more salt? More vinegar? The potatoes will absorb the dressing as they sit, so be sure to taste it again right before serving and re-adjust as needed.
- If you're not serving it right away, cover the potato salad with plastic wrap, and leave at room temperature. Only refrigerate it if you really must, as the cold will give the potatoes a weirdly leaden and mealy texture. Which is not to say that leftovers aren't good in their way. Just that it's better freshly made.
- At serving time, sprinkle the salad with the parsley and chives, then crumble the bacon over the top.

Neil LaBute's Heart of the Matter, With Cheyenne Jackson and Tammy Blanchard, Begins Benefit Run June 13
By Adam Hetrick
MCC Theater's benefit engagement of The Heart of the Matter, a collection of short plays by Tony-nominated playwright Neil LaBute, begins performances June 13 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre.
Carolyn Cantor (Regrets, In A Dark Dark House) directs the limited benefit run through June 16 at the Lucille Lortel Theatre. Proceeds support MCC Theater's Playwrights' Coalition program, free PlayLab reading series and literary development activities.
The cast includes Cheyenne Jackson ("30 Rock," Finian's Rainbow, Xanadu), Emmanuelle Chriqui ("Entourage," "The Borgias"), Krysten Ritter ("Don't Trust the B---- in Apartment 23," All New People), Emmy winner Tammy Blanchard (Gypsy, How to Succeed, "Me and My Shadows"), Eddie Kaye Thomas (The Submission, "American Pie") and Michael Chernus (In The Wake, The Aliens).
Here's how it's billed: "When acclaimed playwright-provocateur Neil LaBute turns his acid wit to affairs of the heart, one thing is certain...there will be blood! Passion, emotion, sexual negotiation, and infidelity all converge in this collection of recent one-act plays, each featuring a pair of lovers in crisis. The Heart of the Matter is an attempt to comprehend the true nature of love (or at least the fallout it can leave behind)."
Tickets, priced between $39 and $99, may be purchased by visiting MCCTheater.org or by calling (212) 352-3101. A limited number of $25 tickets, for theatregoers under 30, are also available at mcctheater.org/25under30.html.

Turn Into The Player You Want To Be
Everything starts with the cleats. Your power, speed, and agility are all directly affected by your interaction with the playing surface beneath your feet. By selecting the right cleats, you can optimize this interaction and gain valuable increases in your on-field performance. Selecting the right pair of cleats boils down to two main factors that are explained below.
First, and most important, is picking the right cleats for your playing style. Traditionally, this has been pretty straight forward. Highs were for the big guys, or those with ankle problems. Mids served a hybrid function, mostly for guys who wanted some stability but didn't want the extra material on a high weighing them down, or keeping them from making sharp cuts. And lows were for the speedsters those only concerned with being as light and as fast as possible. Innovation in the industry and the advent of new cleat technologies have largely rendered those days obsolete.
Today, the lines between cleat heights and on- field benefits are much more blurred. There's ultra- light highs, super- supportive lows, and everything in between. Technologies like Under Armour's ClutchFitTM, adidas's SprintSkin and Shockweb, and Nike's Flyknit and Flywire, have eliminated the need for bulky materials when it comes to support and durability, propelling us into an era of lightweight performance cleats of every height.
What this means for you is that these days, cleat height is more a function of personal preference rather than playing style. Although playing style can still enter into the equation (you won?t often see a lineman in a low), you're going to see guys at the skill positions (quarterback, running back, wide receiver, defensive back) wearing what they feel most comfortable in, because no matter what cleats you have on, if you're not comfortable, you're not performing at your best.
If you're a running back who prefers a high cleat, there are a number of cleats you could choose that would afford you stability and support, while not weighing you down; first and foremost is the Under Armour Highlight MC, worn by Green Bay running back Eddie Lacy. If you're a quarterback who likes to be light on his feet, you could go with a supportive low; good choices in this situation would be the adidas AdiZero 5-star 3.0, Nike Vapor Carbon 2014 Elite, or Nike Vapor Ultimate. If it's a mid you want, two solid options can be found in the adidas RG3 and the Nike CJ Elite 2. Both have been designed for two of the most dynamic players in the game. These cleats have plenty of support, protection, and traction, while still not sacrificing much weight.
The second, and much more straightforward factor, is playing surface. The type of cleat you want to use will be dependent upon whether you're playing on firm or soft natural ground, or artificial turf. Molded cleats are overwhelmingly favored for use on firm, natural, and artificial surfaces. For soft, natural surfaces, some players opt to use detachable cleats. These cleats generally dig down deeper into the turf, providing solid traction on soft, wet surfaces.
We're always updating our selection with the latest and greatest cleats out there, so whatever your preference: high, mid, low, molded, or detachable, we've got you covered. Go ahead find the cleat that's right for you, and Prepare To Win.

At Tumacácori National Historical Park, you can enjoy the reflective calm of silent buildings, strong colors of fiestas, spicy flavors and scents of local foods, ancient rhythms of native music, and the warmth of Arizona's sun. I remember my first visit. It was a comfortable, hushed afternoon. My husband and I wandered Tumacácori's mission grounds. While he photographed plastered adobe buildings, I spied intriguing Mexican borderland birds through my binoculars. In the bookstore, we bought a book about Spanish missions and a CD featuring energetic Mexican tunes. As we left, my husband turned to me and suggested that I might like to work here someday… and I agreed! Read more www.nps.govAbout the National Park Service.

Good News for Western Basin Walleye Anglers
- Published in Ottawa Outdoors
It sure has been nice being able to wear shorts out in the boat these past couple of weeks. I thought the warm weather would never arrive, but I'm sure glad it finally did!
Water temperatures are now in the high 60's and low 70's and there are still plenty of walleye in the area. Reports of big fish being caught to the east, (Lorain and further east), have begun, so those fish have already left the west end and are on the move to their summer hunting grounds. However, there is still some pretty phenomenal walleye fishing to be had from Toledo to Vermilion.

Colorado Rapids Striker Omar Cummings Training With Aston Villa
Based on the comments of the Rapids' General Manager it sounds like a short-term loan could be in the works as well. Cummings is a decent player that provides something in the neighborhood of 70% of Emile Heskey with the the added bonus of being ridiculously cheap. He's no great shakes but if he comes in on loan there is literally nothing not to like about this type of move. If a center forward of James Collins' quality can make Villla look like a wholly more dangerous attacking side, adding someone of Cummings' quality could not be in any way a bad thing. As an added bonus, it's evidence of Villa's scouting network moving beyond the British isles. And as a further added bonus to fans of MLS such as myself it serves as further proof that the league is becoming one to take more seriously with each passing year.

that's allot of bling for 3/4 of a mile but I guess you can't rule out parking time . I bet they have allot less than 100 miles on them because at a 100 that's 133 trips. Good luck on the sale!

I can look in to shipping and let you know. Have shipped race tires with UPS. Will check tomorrow.
Yes - probably less than 100 miles, but thought I'd be conservative. I do have some runs to the gas station which is probably 6 mile round trip.
Sweet, seems like a really excellent price. Those sure would look good on my trailer while it's sitting around...don't think I could justify it to the wife though, since I don't pull the boat anywhere. Where's the third so the spare is matching?!?2006 Mobius LSV

As you might expect, different defensive metrics have different takes. FanGraphs has him down as -6.3 runs in the field this season, which would be the third-worst in the majors among qualified third basemen. According to range runs, he has some of the worst range in the game. But Defensive Runs Saved has him as a totally neutral third baseman. The anecdotal evidence is inconclusive, of course, as he'll make plays like this to make you cautiously optimistic, and then he'll make plays like this, that jibe with your expectations.
But I was expecting a disaster. Like, an emergency meeting called in the front office before April was over. Tarp-related errors. Rosin bags swallowed. I was expecting Cabrera to make the experiment look completely untenable, like Todd Hundley in the outfield or Mike Piazza at first base. Not only was it going to be untenable, it was going to be an obvious failure right away. It was going to combine two generations of defensive stats -- ye olde fielding percentage and advanced metrics -- into one of history's greatest defensive monsters.
Instead? You know, whatever. He's not great. He isn't good. But he's a third baseman. That is, he isn't a DH playing third base in a way that embarrasses third basemen and designated hitters alike. He's … you know, whatever. Which was about the best-case scenario coming into the season. And when it comes to his clankmittery? It's much less of a problem than anyone could have expected.
Miguel Cabrera errors at third base:
2007: 23
2008: 5 (in 14 games)
2012: 10
Errors are kind of like batting average in that you'll lose money trying to bet on them every year, so this might not be indicative of a sure-handed Miggy. But it's encouraging for a team that's building around an idea that it can have Cabrera, Prince Fielder, and Victor Martinez all in the same lineup for the next couple of years.
The Tigers still have defensive issues
It's the dangedest defensive alignment I've ever seen. The defensive metrics agree that Jhonny Peralta has been average to above-average, and the addition of Omar Infante has helped the infield defense a great deal. Austin Jackson is something of a wizard in center. So up the middle, the Tigers are sound. Old-timey baseball wisdom suggests that a team needs to worry about being strong up the middle before anything else. The Tigers are there.
But the corners are something else. Cabrera might not be that bad relative to expectations, but he's almost certainly a below-average third baseman. He pairs with Prince Fielder to make the worst first/third defensive combo in baseball. Delmon Young wears cleats with honking bike horns on the top, and he's still played 27 games in left. Andy Dirks and Quentin Berry grade out to average at best.
The real surprise? Brennan Boesch is one of the worst defenders in baseball according to UZR, defensive runs saved, range runs, plus-minus runs saved … everything. And he doesn't pass the eyeball test, either. Kurt Mensching of Bless You Boys offers the following description:
…he's rather unimpressive in the outfield. On the bright side, he's better than Delmon Young.
Damning with less-than-faint praise. The worst part is that Boesch isn't hitting, either.
The corner positions are impressively unimpressive with the glove, and it might explain why the Tigers have the worst batting average on balls in play in the American League. When it comes to individual BABIPs, Max Scherzer and Rick Porcello have the two worst marks in the major leagues. Justin Verlander's is still low, though it's still 33 points higher than last year's mark. It's all added up to a Tigers team that's almost certainly allowed more runs than they should have.
For next year, it shouldn't be as big of an issue. The whole point of moving Cabrera was to stack the lineups with as many bats as possible, and when Victor Martinez is healthy, there will be a reason for Cabrera at third. And with Omar Infante signed through next season, the offseason priority is probably going to be a corner outfielder, possibly one with a modicum of range. They should get better next year -- defensively in the outfield, and offensively at DH. which is supposed to justify the Cabrera-at-third experiment.
Right now, though, it might be costing them the AL Central. Cabrera at third gets Delmon Young in the lineup, which is a lose-lose proposition. And all of those runs lost from the corner positions over the last 128 games are probably worth an extra couple of games in the standings, which is exactly the margin between them and the White Sox.
There might be some easy fixes in the offseason, but right now, the Tigers could sure use a couple of those runs back.
(And if Victor Martinez coming back means that Delmon Young is a starting left-fielder next season… forget everything up there. Delmon's shoes will honk into the Detroit sunset. But the Tigers are too smart for that, right? Right?)
