The injuries are piling up for the Colts. Just hours after team president Bill Polian said TE Dallas Clark will be out indefinitely with a wrist injury, the team announced that WR Austin Collie underwent thumb surgery. There is no set time for his return to action.
In six games this season, Collie has caught 44 passes for 503 yards with six touchdowns, good for fifth in the league in receiving yards and tied for second in touchdowns. Along with Clark, he is one of QB Peyton Manning's favorite targets on third down.
The Colts have a well-needed bye this week. Starting RB Joseph Addai left Sunday night's game with a shoulder injury and could be out. They have been missing WR Anthony Gonzalez, but he could play soon after returning to practice last week.
Also on Thursday, the team announced that DT Antonio Johnson had knee surgery, which will sideline him for an undetermined amount of time.
The way we see it
This is just the latest in a horrible string of injuries for the Colts. Undrafted rookie Blair White will step into the spotlight, and he has made some big catches this season. Manning still has WRs Reggie Wayne and Pierre Garcon, but he is missing his top third-down targets.
Fantasy spin
Collie has been a huge fantasy producer this season. But this means that Garcon and White's fantasy values increase. The fact that Wayne and Collie totaled so many receiving yards and TDs means one, or both, of Garcon and White could rack up some fantasy points in Manning's offense after the Week Seven bye.

The Deer Park wrestling team made short work of the Pullman Greyhounds on Thursday.
The Stags, who defeated West Valley 48-19 the previous day, needed only 24 minutes to take care of the Greyhounds 59-24. The win improved the Stags' Great Northern League record to 3-0.
The Greyhound match allowed head coach Matt Jorgensen to give many of the reserves varsity action. Only two varsity regulars (Dylan Miller at 170 pounds and Jason Jorgensen at 182) saw action.
Riverside High School junior Courtney Davis, who is averaging 15 points per game this season, was among the Class 1A Washington Interscholastic Activities Association/Seattle Times athletes of the week in December.
Davis, a three-year varsity starter, was recognized for her 13 points/12 rebounds/5 steals/5 assists performance in the Lady Rams' 42-30 win over Medical Lake.
A funeral service will be held at 1:30 p.m. on Jan. 8, at the Hennessey Smith Funeral Home, Spokane, followed by a graveside service at 3 p.m. at Milan Cemetery for former Elk resident Rose E. Karg, 89.
Born on March 24, 1922, to Marie (Rudolph) and Charles Daubel on the family farm near Elk, when she entered grade school she could only speak German.
She met Alois Karg, a neighbor, and they were married Dec. 22, 1942 when he came home on leave from the military.
She was preceded in death by her husband, Alois; nine of her brothers and sisters and one granddaughter, Cherelyn.
The Deer Park girls basketball team, using a balanced scoring attack, defeated the Medical Lake Cardinals 51-37 on Tuesday.
Eight Lady Stags, led by Tessa Heins' 13 points, entered the score book in the Great Northern League opener for both schools.
Deer Park (5-4 overall) jumped out to an early 9-3 advantage, only to have the Cardinals (1-8) take a 16-12 lead early in the second quarter.
Senior Danielle Beltrame answered with a pair of three-pointers to give Deer Park a 20-18 lead with 4 minutes left in the first half.
The Medical Lake Cardinals, using a 13-3 third quarter run, defeated the Deer Park Stags 57-45 on Tuesday in the Great Northern League opener for both schools.
The win improved the Cardinals' overall record to 4-5, the same mark as the Stags. The loss was Deer Park's 13th straight in GNL play.
The Cardinals, who led 30-29 at halftime, scored the first five points on the third quarter.
A Colton Mead three-pointer broke a five-minute scoring drought by the Stags, only to see the Cardinals go on an 8-0 run to extend their lead to 43-32.
Bruce M. LeBlanc, 55, of Shady Cove, Ore., passed away on Dec. 27, 2011, in Cataldo, Idaho.
His is survived by his son, Jesse LeBlanc; his daughter, Natalie LeBlanc; a granddaughter, Aurora Petersen; his mother, Zelda LeBlanc; a brother, Tony (Christy) LeBlanc, a brother, Thomas LeBlanc, a brother, Byron LeBlanc; a sister, Cheryl Adams; a niece Allissa LeBlanc and her children; and a nephew, Jonathon (Caitlin) LeBlanc.
Bruce was born in Spokane on Aug. 4, 1956 and graduated from Deer Park High School in 1974.
The Spokane County Sheriff's Office, which has a person of interest in the Chanin Starbuck homicide investigation, continues to interview witnesses and follow up leads developed from those interviews. They are also reviewing digital evidence taken from the crime scene.
Starbuck's body was discovered in her Deer Park home on Dec. 3 after neighbors became concerned about the accumulation of mail in front of her house.
The Spokane Medical Examiner's Office determined that Starbuck was strangled a few days earlier.

VALORIE EVERSOLE - Daily Union Reporter
SHELBYVILLE, IL. — The prosecution continued its case Wednesday in the trial of Wayne Newlin of Herrick in the shooting death of Jeremy Morgan in December. The trial is being held in Effingham County due to construction at the Shelby County Courthouse.
Newlin is charged with three counts of First Degree Murder – Accountability. Michael Pease of Pana is currently serving 45 years after pleading guilty in the case in July.
Heather Thomas, who shared the home with Newlin and Morgan, was the first witness called by Shelby County State's Attorney Deborah Riley on Wednesday morning.
Thomas admitted that she was in a relationship with Morgan, but it was kept quiet due to the fact that Morgan was still married but separated. She also noted that she and Newlin were just friends. She also noted that Morgan had never beat her or abused her. She had dated Michael Pease briefly when she moved to the Pana area. In describing Pease after his release from prison on previous charges, Thomas said Pease "wasn't happy. He was completely different."
After presenting testimony from two Illinois State Police investigators, Riley presented several hours of video recording of the interrogation of Newlin by ISP investigators at the Pana Police Department. Newlin was located at his place of business, PBI in Pana, where he retreated after he attempted to return home and found law enforcement swarming the area.
The interrogation began late the night of December 29, the night of the murder, and ended late afternoon December 30 when he was taken into custody.
After being read his Miranda rights and agreeing to the taping of the interrogation, Newlin rambled on about working on his tractor, the guns he owned, and the living arrangements at the trailer. Throughout the questioning, interrogators asked Newlin if he knew what had happened to Morgan. Newlin said he did not.
During the lengthy interrogation, the investigators were receiving incoming information about the murder. After hours of questioning, the investigators told Newlin that Pease had told them everything and pressed Newlin for the truth.
Newlin admitted that he was "disgusted with Jeremy Morgan." Newlin said he was tired of paying for everything, and said that Morgan had "busted me upside the head" and was "bullying me".
"We got into fist fights over every little thing. I asked him to move out before," Newlin said. "I was tired of it."
He then talked to Pease about getting rid of Morgan and a plan was created.
"I could have stopped it, but I didn't," Newlin said.
The defense is expected to present its case Thursday.

The Apotheosis of the Slavs, by Alphonse Mucha
Infact all of the Slav Epic totally rules me. Whats really impressive about this and the other paintings of the Epic is their size. This painting is like 15 feet tall, and some of the other 19 paintings are like 20 feet tall and 30 feet across.
California, by George Inness
Inness' landscapes do something to me. I love the atmosphereic quality to many of them. They seem less like pictures of a place and time and more like memories or dreams
anyway...theres my contribution

"He Works Out Too Much and Doesn't Help With the Kids"
The Couple's TurnThe Couple:
Emily: 42, Stay-at-home mom
Greg: 49, Internet startup owner
Married: 10 years
Kids: Pati, 8; Violet, 6; and Ben, 5The Counselor:
Susan Heitler, Ph.D.
Denver, ColoradoThe Background:
Greg runs ultramarathons and training takes all his free time. Emily feels like she's a single mom. After years of asking him to cut back, she's done. Recently she announced that she wanted a divorce. Greg was totally blindsided.
Emily: I can't breathe in this marriage and I have no desire to work on it for even one more day. I've contacted a lawyer and I'm looking at houses to rent.
Everyone thinks Greg is so amazing, and I thought so too when we met. He's smart, successful, generous, and adventurous. But 10 years later I'm over that. Now all I can see is that he's selfish, bossy, and judgmental. I've had it.
When Greg makes a decision he focuses like a laser. A few years ago he became obsessive about running. He doesn't just go for a jog. He runs ultramarathons, which are 50- or 100- mile races. You start at 4 a.m. and run for 30 hours straight. Even elite runners who make their living doing this don't run as many races as Greg does. And when he's training for a race, Greg can easily average 20 hours a week just running. Add another 20 hours of weight lifting and cardio on top of the time he spends at his fulltime job. He's never around, and I'm left with three little kids, doing everything and trying to keep it all together.
He's so self-centered. He thinks that whatever he thinks and feels is what I think and feel, too. Well, hello! That's just not true. When he decided we needed a bigger house -- I was fine with the one we had -- he built a huge new addition. Guess who supervised all the work? Even my mother, who put up with a lot in her own marriage and never once complained, said I couldn't go on like this.
Greg: I feel like I've stepped into an alternative universe. When Emily said she had something to talk about, I thought she was going to ask where I wanted to go for dinner! Until a week ago I thought I had an amazing life -- a happy marriage, healthy children, a successful career and a nice new house, which I renovated so the kids could have their own rooms.
I did that for the family, not for myself. I want to fix this but I can't wrap my brain around what went wrong. How am I supposed to know my wife's miserable if she doesn't tell me? Emily always wanted to be a full-time mom. She said it was her calling.
Before we had kids we were always on the same wavelength. The first year of our marriage, we backpacked around the world and loved every second of it.
Emily: I do love being a mom but I thought I'd be raising my kids with their father! Every time I try to explain how I feel, Greg just laughs and makes a joke, like, "I don't smoke, I don't drink, I don't go to Vegas. Ultramarathons are my only vice! You're a lucky woman!"
I know he's not doing this to be hurtful. I ran competitively in college, too, so I get that winning is addictive. An occasional marathon was fine when it was just the two of us. But now, while he's training, competing or at work -- he started an online sports website that's been a big success -- I'm with the kids. On weekends I pile everyone into the car and drive for hours to watch Daddy run. It's exhausting and lonely. I'd like to have a conversation and spend some quality time with the guy I married. But even making love feels like another item he needs to check off his list.
Greg: Look, I'm around a lot more than Emily gives me credit for. When the kids were babies we had a full-time babysitter who did laundry and grocery shopping, so I couldn't help out there. Even so, I did my share of diaper changes, baths and bedtime stories. And I'm a good role model. I'm teaching them it's important to stay active, work toward a goal and bounce back if you fail. I never had that guidance as a kid. My dad took off and my mom struggled to support three kids on a secretary's salary.
Emily: Greg's a great dad when he's available. But even if he's here physically -- in his office upstairs or his gym in the basement -- he's either working, training or setting up his race schedule. Now that the kids are older and have their own activities, I'm pulled in even more directions. They'll start resenting that their dad is never around.
Greg: I really don't understand. I'd never purposely do anything to make Emily's life harder. Once in a while she'll get upset and tell me I'm "taking my extreme events to the extreme." But she knows that running is the way I dial down my stress. I never thought she meant for me to quit. Whenever I ask her how she's doing, she says "10-plus." How did she go from 10-plus to talking to lawyers and looking at houses?
Emily: It's typical Greg that he's talking about his stress. Everything's always about him and his needs. What about my stress, taking care of the house and our three children, all day every day? As for the "10-plus," that's because he always asks how I'm doing when I'm about to collapse at the end of the day. I say I'm fine because I'm desperate to sleep and don't want to end up in a long debate.
Greg's obsession with marathons isn't our only problem. He's also judgmental about my friends. Thank God for my girlfriends, who keep me sane! But Greg sulks when I spend time with them. He never likes doing things with other couples, either. If we get invited out, it's easier to just decline than try to convince him to go.
Greg says he's just happier being together as a family. Please. For the last five years I have done nothing but focus on this family. It's a miracle I can find time to take a shower by myself. He's winning races but I haven't been to the gym in four years. I'm ready to get some of my needs met, and this marriage isn't doing it.
Greg: I don't know what to say. About her friends, I guess I'm jealous that she opens up to them more than she does to me. The fact that I didn't have any idea that she was so unhappy is proof of that. I wish it were different. I love Emily and if I've been an idiot, I'll change. But let's not walk away from this marriage before giving it our best shot.

Iron's valiant effort falls just short
10:28pm Tuesday 13th November 2012 in News By Simon Spurgeon
Braintree Town's valiant effort to place themselves in the second round of the FA Cup for the first time in their history came up just short as they lost 3-0 to Tranmere Rovers.
There was to be no fairytale ending for the Iron's Cup dreams as the League One leaders' class showed in the end.
A first-half strike by Joe Thompson and one after the break by Cole Stockton were enough to break the hearts of the majority of the 1,503 crowd.
However, Braintree's players did themselves, their club and their fans proud and Max Power's 90th minute goal put a more flattering look to the scoreline for the visitors than the hosts deserved.

Celebrity Scandal! Scotty McCreery denied dating Lauren Alaina, causing a celebrity couples scandal?
There is a celebrity teen scandal brewing in Hollywood Memorial Day Weekend. American Idol loser Lauren Alaina is being compared in tabloid gossip reports to a low-class fat girl who puts out and will try to get pregnant to catch and keep a man — and it is not a very nice allegation.
So why are critics of the American Idol runner-up being so hostile? Because of a series of kisses she planted on her competitor Scotty McCreery on national television after the news came that she had lost the reality television competition and he was American's favorite single young man.
Pop Eater shared:
As the confetti was raining down on 'American Idol' winner, Scotty McCreery, we found ourselves leaning closer to the TV saying, 'Wait, did they just?'
Before cutting away from the pair a moment too soon, it looked as though runner-up, Lauren Alaina, planted a kiss on the American Idol.
Just after the smooch, when asked if the duo were in fact an item, Alaina told Entertainment Tonight, "he might by my boyfriend … ask him."
So why do some girls feel the need to grab attention for themselves by attaching themselves to a better looking or more successful (and therefore desirable) man?
Counselors will tell you that women with low self-esteem — like so many men with low self-esteem — will sometimes fixate on gaining manipulative control of a romantic partner because they do not have enough self-esteem or genuine self-worth to be desirable or think highly of themselves without a partner.
Many times, women will ploy men with the promise of free sex and no real relationship obligations to lure them in to a personal arrangement. The hotter and dumber the man is, the bigger the bullseye he seems to wear on his forehead like a target.
That is why Lauren Alaina grabbing Scotty McCreery looked so calculated on her part and made him look like a lamb waiting to be slaughtered by his waiting in the wings mistress.
If Lauren Alaina gets her claws into him now, the two will undoubtedly make money touring together — but there is one big problem with the young couple getting involved in a romantic relationship.
Many of his die-hard fans think if he stays out of a relationship now at such a young age, he can and will do better at finding love than if he were to settle down now.
Scotty McCreery simply has not lived long enough to know that yet — and what is worse, if Lauren Alaina does land him and manage to get pregnant quickly, she will have a guaranteed portion of his income and lifetime earnings if he ever tries to leave her feathered nest.
To that end, fans of Scotty who are adults are sending messages warning the young country music singer to slow the relationship with Lauren Alaina down — because experience speaks volumes. Older folks have it and these teens don't.
Fans of Lauren Alaina or women who think that trapping a man and keeping him financially and emotionally tied to a home through having sex and making babies galore are all rooting for the overweight teen to nail that hot young stud and rising star down now.
Both perspectives are a bit sad, though — as neither view factors any sense of love or companionship into the equation. And granted, while Scotty McCreery might have bonded emotionally with Lauren Alaina for the short-term because they experienced the adrenaline surge of the high stress situation by sharing the American Idol stage together, once that Oh-la-la tingle passes and Scotty thinks about it, chances are he would do better staying single, working to establish his career, to finish high school and college, and bank some serious earnings that are all his own before he settles down.
As for Lauren Alaina and the celebrity teen scandal brewing over her kissing Scotty McCreery and playing coy about the boyfriend – girlfriend situation?
That girl needs to get to work finding work right now — because her 15 minutes of fame are likely to be up unless she keeps Scotty McCreery around.
Do the Jenny Craig Diet — the South Beach Diet — or get some other celebrity fitness and weight loss endorsement, Lauren. Heck, do the Cookie Diet that Snooki from the Jersey Shore reality television show endorsed.
Keep singing at fund-raisers for non-profit organizations and local causes.
Just bank some money of your own now while you are young rather than waiting for some man to come along who will make you look attractive and fill your coffers.
And for gosh sakes, doing be doing any more lip plants on Scotty McCreery when the press is — or is NOT — around.
Because Scotty McCreery is a teenage boy and the new popular kid in town, and chances are, Lauren, if you do get emotionally attached too much at this stage of the American Idol popularity game, he will only let you down. Wait a few years, keep in touch with him, but don't think it might be love until the next 10 to 15 years have passed and you both have had the chance to live life on your own for a while as healthy single adults.

Network File System
<networking, operating system> (NFS) A protocol developed by Sun Microsystems, and defined in RFC 1094, which allows a computer to access files over a network as if they were on its local disks. This protocol has been incorporated in products by more than two hundred companies, and is now a de facto standard. NFS is implemented using a connectionless protocol (UDP) in order to make it stateless.

A foster dog earned herself a forever home when she alerted the sleeping family she was staying with to high levels of carbon monoxide in their Utah apartment.
While trying to find the right dog for her legally blind daughter, Chahela, Tonya Ostrander had taken in Snowy, a Chihuahua mix.
One night last week, Snowy, who was sleeping in Chahela's room, started "barking and barking and barking. Woke us both up" at about 2:30 a.m., said Tonya Ostrander.
She and her daughter both felt sick and realized something was wrong, so they got to the hospital right away. Their carbon monoxide levels were high, but thanks to Snowy, they were able to recover.
"If she hadn't had woken us up then things would have been real bad. We could have just slept right through it and maybe died," Ostrander said.
The mother and daughter thanked Snowy by making her a permanent part of their family.

10 strange cat behaviors explained
There's no denying that cats are excellent companions, but sometimes they do something that leaves you scratching your head in total confusion. If you're used to dogs, cats' social interactions and the way they communicate can be very confusing.

NEWBURY — For a third time, voters once again turned down a $293,000 tax hike last night by a 2,303 to 2,037 vote.
The override to restore cuts and address what town leaders say are deficiencies in the operating budget would have increased taxes by $82 annually on the average home valued at $400,000.
It was the third time an override was put to voters in two years.
Voters rejected two previous tax hikes to fund town operations. A larger override — for $950,000 — failed by 200 votes last year. Then in May, a $293,000 override was turned down by just 50 votes
But after the May election, town leaders heard from many residents who felt they were not sufficiently notified that a proposed tax hike was on the ballot. Selectmen agreed to give the proposal another try this fall, hoping the coinciding presidential election would result in more voters being on hand to weigh in on the tax hike this time.
Both sides of the issue campaigned heavily with members of the social media campaign Newbury Override Yes saying the measure was "what is best for the safety, well-being and happiness of our town as a whole."
Myfanwy Collins of Newbury Override Yes said the override wasn't about politics or money, but rather a way to "restore critical town services such as police coverage and fire wages" and keep Newbury "a safe and beautiful place to live."
But Max Boucher of the anti-override group Newbury Austerity said he believed selectmen were "panicking" about the state of the town's operating budget. And fellow override opponent Kathryn O'Brien called the proposed override "a forever tax increase" and suggested town leaders "continue along their path of conservative spending and make more use of ready volunteers."
Here's the breakdown of how the $293,000 tax override would have been spent:
Finance Department salary and wages: $30,000
Police Department: $100,000
Byfield call fire wages: $25,000
Byfield Fire Protection flat rate: $25,000
Newbury call fire wages: $25,000
Newbury Fire Protection flat rate: $25,000
Public works salary and wages: $29,000
Library salary and wages: $34,000

The Communards formed in 1985 after singer Jimmy Somerville left his earlier band Bronski Beat to team up with classically-trained musician Richard Coles. Though mainly a pianist, Coles played a number of instruments and had been seen previously performing the clarinet solos on the Bronski Beat hit "It Ain't Necessarily So". They were joined by bass player Dave Renwick who had also played with Bronski Beat. Somerville was well-known for his falsetto singing style, and that he was openly gay during a period of increasing socio-political debate and conflict in the UK regarding homosexuality.

Editor's note: This interview with Ravi Shankar was conducted in March 2012, prior to a planned concert at the Terrace Theater in Long Beach. Shankar ultimately had to reschedule the concert.
Ravi Shankar is a music phenom known for bringing Indian music to the West.
On Sunday, he will be bringing his music to Long Beach's Terrace Theater for a concert benefiting The Ravi Shankar Foundation.
The foundation was established in 1997 to serve as a resource center for classical Indian music and to archive the works of Shankar, along with other Indian musicians. The organization opened a center in Delhi, India, and is raising funds to open a center in California to continue its mission of educating the world about Indian music.
"The foundation is more to help Indian music be popularized as much as possible in this country," Shankar said by phone on a recent evening, battling jet lag after his trip from India to the United States.
The sitar player, who will turn 92 on April 7, has been performing since childhood. While he doesn't perform as many concerts as he used to, he says he still plays 10 to 15 concerts a year with no plans to stop anytime soon.
For the Long Beach performance, his sister-in-law Lakshmi Shankar will be the opening act. He then will take the stage along with a few other musicians playing sitar, drums and the flute.
"I'm going to perform the classical music of India," Shankar said. "Sitar is one of the most popular instruments of northern India and I will be playing the classical music along with drums and a flute player and students of sitar with me. So it will be Indian classical music with all its rhythmic variations and melody variations."
His sister-in-law is not the only famous lady in Shankar's family. His eldest daughter is Grammy Award-winning singer/songwriter Norah Jones, and his younger daughter, Anoushka Shankar, is a Grammy-nominated sitar player.
Ravi Shankar calls Anoushka one of his best students, since she learned how to play the sitar from him as a child. Another student he took under his wing was the Beatles' lead guitarist, George Harrison, whom he began working with in 1965.
"George was a wonderful student," Shankar said. "I loved him very much."
He also noted that it was his relationship with Harrison that helped popularize Indian music in the West, especially his own.
Since then, he says, the genre has continued to gain followers in America and all over the world.
"I started it way back in 1955 and since then other musicians have been coming from India, and together we have a tremendous amount of listeners all over North and South America, all over Europe and all over the world," Shankar said.
About two weeks ago, Ravi Shankar Sharma, another music composer from India, passed away. Some bloggers and Twitter users confused the two musicians and were reporting the sitar player was the one who passed away.
But, Shankar says he was unfazed by the rumors.
"It wasn't me, otherwise I wouldn't be talking to you," Shankar said. "I'm 92 now and hopefully will be around for a long time. And I'm still performing. The Lord has been kind to me, I'm lucky."

From the Alumni Board Winter 07-08
|Alumni Board president Brian Jones '88
In 1958, the population of the Portland metro area was 735,980. The cost of a first-class stamp was three cents. Kruschchev became premier of something called the Soviet Union the same month that Elvis Presley was inducted into the U.S. Army. Eisenhower ordered American troops into Lebanon, and the U.S. Supreme Court ruled that Little Rock, Arkansas, had to move forward with integrating its school system. Capote published Breakfast at Tiffany's, Kerouac published The Subterraneans and The Dharma Bums, and Hitchcock released Vertigo. And in June of 1958, fifteen seniors, all young women, were the very first to accept "Catlin Gabel" diplomas and the last to graduate on the Culpepper Terrace campus. They had braved College Board examinations, the "old girl vs. new girl" baseball game, and the Rummage contest, and reveled in the first fire of winter, a Timberline overnight, and senior skip day. Their yearbook included advertisements for Bermuda shorts, "made for every occasion," and a flat from Nordstrom with a "new pointed toe that's a winner." Another ad advised them to "eat more fresh lemons."
In short, nothing much has changed, and everything has changed. The 65 members of the class of 2008, almost equally male and female, had to suffer through SATs, spent days at the Expo Center during Rummage, and are no doubt already looking forward to senior skip day. Bermuda shorts are back; fresh lemons probably never went out. The Soviet Union is long gone; U.S. involvement in the Middle East is more intense than ever. It's fun, when marking a milestone like Catlin Gabel's 50th anniversary, to delve into "then vs. now," for the sake of context: "That was then, this is now—look how much has (or hasn't) changed." But we won't gloss over the real import of this anniversary, the fact that in spite of significant challenges (starting with the events that led up to the merger of Catlin-Hillside and Gabel, and the very merger itself), daunting obstacles, and the sheer procession of time, the people of Gabel, Catlin, all their predecessors and successors, have led us to what we find in Catlin Gabel today—a vital institution, alive in its present, anticipating its future, and very much attentive to its past. We are all honored to be part of this school.
This year, as alumni board president, I'm chairing the 50th anniversary committee. This incredibly vibrant group of alumni, parents, and former faculty is cooking up some serious fun for the anniversary and alumni weekend, May 2–4. There will be an amazing array of opportunities to walk, run, and maybe even square-dance down Memory Lane with former teachers, alumni, and current Catlin Gabel families and faculty. Many of the details are still top secret; for a sneak peek go to page 5 of the magazine. You'll be receiving your invitation soon. Be there or, as Kerouac might have said, be square!
And for those of you who, like me, are reunion-year alumni, your class organizers are already at work planning your own reunion gathering for the evening of Friday, May 2. If you'd like to be part of the planning, or want to hear about details, please refer to your class year's listing in the Class Notes section, or email the alumni office at email@example.com.
See you in May.
Brian Jones '88, alumni board president

Week 14 Players of the Week
This week, PFW selects Cam Newton, Stevie Brown and David Wilson as its Players of the Week.
One of the constants on the New York Giants offensive line over the last seven-plus seasons may be missing when they face the Bengals (3-5) in Cincinnati. Snee practiced for the first time this week on Friday and his status for Sunday's game has been listed as questionable.||||||| The son-in-law of coach Tom Coughlin, Snee has missed starting only one game at right guard since 2005. That was last year when he was sidelined by a concussion. Snee had an ankle rolled in the first quarter of this past weekend's game against the Pittsburgh Steelers.
Snee is out against Buffalo due to a concussion.||||||| Snee suffered the injury in a 36-25 loss to Seattle. The Giants' running game has been abysmal, and Snee's absence should further weaken what was once a major strength of the team. Snee had a streak of 101 consecutive starts snapped.
Snee will miss the New York Giants' preseason opener against the New York Jets.||||||| Snee, the right guard who has played in consecutive Pro Bowls, has been bothered by swelling in his leg.
Snee and tackle David Diehl of the New York Giants have been added to the NFC Pro Bowl team.||||||| The Giants announced Monday that Snee and Diehl will replace Jahari Evans and Jonathan Stinchcomb of New Orleans, who will not play in the game because the Saints advanced to the Super Bowl.
The New York Giants guaranteed that their offensive line will stay together for the foreseeable future, signing Snee on Wednesday to a six-year, $43.5 million contract extension.||||||| A former second-round draft pick, Snee has started all 59 regular-season and six postseason games that he has played for the Giants. The former Boston College product has started 48 consecutive regular-season games. He missed the final five games of his rookie season because of an inflamed gland under his jaw.

Q: What are the Latest and Greatest Tools Filmmakers Need to Have Right Now? A:
Thanks to David Branin and Karen Worden of the great indie film show Film Courage for having me on recently. Given this website covers a lot of the "latest, greatest tools" in filmmaking, this particular interview question was a perfect chance for me to make it abundantly clear what my stance — and by extension the stance of nofilmschool — is when it comes to "gear addiction" and what tools filmmakers "need to have right now."

David Branin & Karen Worden from Film Courage Release Feature 'Goodbye Promise' for $1 on IndieGoGo
Many of us have used crowdfunding platforms to get a project off the ground or at least to gauge interest in it — and many more of us have considered, or are planning, on doing so. But David Branin and Karen Worden from the indie film site Film Courage are utilizing a crowdfunding platform for another purpose: to distribute their finished film. Yesterday they released their DIY feature Goodbye Promise on Indiegogo — for just $1. David and Karen are seeking answers to the question we all face as filmmakers: how to best release our films to a changing world. I spoke to them via Skype about film festivals, online distribution, crowdfunding platforms, social media strategies, and more: More »

During 3 years of living in Australia, this was without the best beer that I discovered. In Melbourne it seemed to only really be available in the Autumn and Winter, which was perhaps due to the beer's name.
Not that many Australian's seemed to know about it, and it's stocks were generally quite low. I recall a number of times where I drank a few bottles and then had to choose something less exciting.
The colour is black with a mystic deepness, and it has a fresh, fruity, complex taste that is reminiscent of a dark Belgian abbey beer, yet originally different. There is a kind of dried apricotty taste infused with bitter mocha notes that forms a Christmassy overall experience that is smooth and easy to drink, yet highly complex.
This is completely superior to Monteiths other offerings, and is one of the best beers I have had.

A - A nice dense head. Heavy looking brew with dark colours and a slight red hue.
S - A lot of malt influence as you would hope from this style. Plenty of chocolate and toffee.
T - Toffe and chocolate is there again with a slight hint of sweet dry fruit. Medium level of bitterness gives it a nice balance.
M - A medium to heavy body, and although creamy, sticks in the mouth nicely holding in the aftertaste.

Bottle from a shop in Melbourne. From notes.
A - Poured dark, dark red. One finger of off white head. Decent carbonation, bright. Spotty lace, no retention.
S - Really malty. Rum, raisin, dark fruit.
T - Sweet, toasty malt, some bread, mild dark fruit, tobacco.
M - Really carbonated, light to medium body, dry and roasty finish.
O/D - Too carbonated. Not bad. Decent and flavourful. Really nice maltiness for Autumn.

A 330ml bottle with a BB of Feb 2012. Acquired from Harvey Nicks in Leeds.
Poured into a Delirium chalice. A dark ruby hue with plentiful carbonation. Yields a decent head of creamy light-tan foam that remains for a few minutes before reducing to a surface layer. Aroma of rich, fruity malt with notes of chocolate, brown sugar, dried fruit, caramel and booze.
Tastes of sweet, fruity malt with a dry finish. Notes of molasses, caramel, chocolate, dried fruit and yeast. A mild stewed hop bitterness. Mouthfeel is smooth, tingly and a little slick. Somewhat astringent. Aftertaste of sweet, fruity malt.
Nice - rich and sweet. Uncomplicated; the flavour is well-judged and satisfying. Perfect for winter drinking. Well worth trying.

Clean malty smell, slightly metalic. Thin mouth feel. Slightly tangy chocolate taste, a little yeasty. The flavour isn't too deep and is fairly smooth, easy drinking. Overall it's not very inspiring and I wouldn't seek this beer out over others. I prefer Monteith's slighty smoother Black Beer.

Winter ale!? It's practically summer, those crazy kiwis! Well actually the summer ale from Monteith's will no doubt be out soon and I will be sad, why? I'll tell you why; I love Doppels! They're big Bavarian bear-hugs of a style, and I remember when I was in Munich apart from drinking excessive amounts of Weiss's that Doppelbock was my go to brew. Prost bitch!
Poured from a 330ml bottle into a Stein glass.
A: Deep ruby red body with some foamy 1cm bone-meal coloured head action.
S: The malt aroma in this beer has it's own gravity! It's a bold malty biscuit fragrance with toasted sesame (weird but thats what I'm smelling) and a mild chocolate note. No hops on the nose, but this is to be expected from a classic malt driven Doppel.
T: Very on the nose with the flavour department; big malt biscuit base with toasted sesame and mild chocolate. The finish is long and dry with an accompanied tang of alcohol and minimal bitterness. Much smoother than expected but the taste of alcohol is a little more than it should be.
M: Quite smooth bodied and with a fairly low carbonation than expected this brew goes down easy... deceptively.
D: Intriguing in a way, but bland in another. I know it goes against the style but some decent floral hops would really have lift this brew into another dimension. However as it is it's a decent but average affair here. Would I recommend it? Yeah it's alright value as it is... a good kiwi go at what I believe to be a challenging style to brew. Sweet as bro.
Food match: German/Kiwi food? Errr, Hangi with Spatzle... or maybe a nice Schweinshaxe with a side of roast Kumara and Taro. You decide.

Pours a very deep brown with very little head, just a ring around the sides to lace the glass. Smells of chocolate and raisins, very pleasant. The taste is very sweet, chocolatey and fruity, with enough bitterness to bite on the back end. Finishes sharp. Mouthfeel is heavy, a little scraping from the carbonation, not bad. Overall, it's a very flavorful bock and a tasty brew. I'll be getting more of it.

Drank from my De Struise tulip
A - Pours a dark brown colour with an off white
ivory coloured head that slowly reduces.
S - Sweet and peppery from the bottle. Much the same once poured.
T - Reasoanble amount of malt, some chocolate and roast.
M - This is quite watery and needs more body. The carbonation is a littel too much.
D - Not a bad drop but doesn't challenge any German versions

Deep Crimson/brown with a rich taned hard, a thin layer of lacing visible.
Chocolate and dark malts, some charcoal and esters. Sun dried fruits.
A dark roasted barley tone hits first, bringing with it some additional bitterness. More dark fruits. Rasins and a slight spice.
A full bodied beer. A great mouthfeel, thickish and sticky, a warming alcohol kick is quite obvious in the chest despite the not extremely high ABV.
A great drinking beer especially in winter, I could sit down in front of a fire and knock a few of these down, now problem at all. I disagree with comments suggesting the alcohol should be better hidden. Its a winter ale and a doppelbock for crying out loud. A really top brew.

A typical Monteith in that it is an interesting beer with great aspects and otherwise. I found the almost total blackness appealing and also its thick tan head. I got very little aroma except for the faintest fruitcake esters. Flavour was fruitcake, pumpernickel and roast beef. Maybe some slight cocoa on the back palate. Late bitterness gives a clean finish. Complexity is satisfying without being awe inspiring. I guess bocks are never sessionable so I think only one at a time for me. A good beer but not interesting enough to be great.

2009 Version--- 330 ML Poured into a SA glass
A-- Poured almost a dark brownish cherry color, nice color. Light brown head that was one finger in height. Took a few minutes for it to dissipate. Good lacing with the head. No visible carbonation.
S-- Heavy roasted malts, some dark chocolate but not very strong. Faint bit of cherry and bread to this.
T-- A bit thin on the taste. Do get roasted malts, dark chocolate and a little sour cherry. Also thin and watery. Needs a bigger chocolate taste.
M-- Starts off quite nice, then gets quite watery. Starts of with the chocolate and malts and a bit of like cherry acid. Then becomes very thin and watery on the backside of the mouth. Loses its flavor very quickly and finishes dry and clean. Medium carbonation and on the lighter side of body.
D-- One is enough. Not enough to this to want a second. Looks very good but after that is gets thin. Could be a really good beer. ABV is well hidden and drinkability is pretty good but the lack of substance is a bit disappointing.

Poured from a 330ml bottle into a tulip glass.
A - Dark with minimal head. Good lacing. True to the label there is a faint red hue.
S - Sweet bread with subtle dark fruit aromas.
T - Slightly sweet at first with just a hint of bitter aftertaste. Dark cacao flavours with a massive roasted malt kicker.
M - Not bad, solid feel with decent fizz. Not overly noteworthy though...
D - Nice winter ale. Probably not strong or thick enough to be a true doppelbock but a good attempt anyway.
Easily the best beer from New Zealand that I've ever had, but then I've only had two.. and the other was Steinlager, so really no competition then.

Copper pour with a off-white persistent head.
Lots of sweet malt on the nose with some hints of oats. If it wasn't so faint it'd be quite good. Some chocolate and slight hops.
More sweet dark malt upon tasting, with caramel and treacle. Not much else though.
Too much carbonation and slightly watery.

This pours light brown with some red tinges. A good beige head and good retention.
Sweet spice aromas. A bit fruit cake-ish. Some chocolate notes.
The malts come forward on the palate. Some coffee as well.
Heavy body too it.
A nice sipping beer. Nice for the colder months.

Pours a dark nut brown with a thin, light brown head.
First taste the alcohol was fairly noticeable, even for 6.0%. Subsequent tastes not as much, but I'll chalk that up to desensitizing.
Strong maltiness & light frutiness (cherry?) characteristic of most doppelbocks.
Good mouthfeel, smooth with a good amount of carbonation.
Not too complex, but a decent flavor. Good for a New Zealand Doppelbock, left me wanting a German doppelbock.

"I wanted to know what it was about Bountiful that made this woman long to return to it, so I said — and I usually do this anyway when I research roles — 'I'll go to the area.' I need to taste, smell, feel, hear what's there. It was incredible. I understood, although there was a great change in what it had been to what she returned to. I knew what it was she wanted once I set foot on that earth and was enveloped by it."
Producer Nelle Nugent has signed on some all-star co-stars to accompany Tyson to the Stephen Sondheim Theatre when the show opens there April 23.
Carrie's son will be played by Oscar winner Cuba Gooding Jr. and her daughter-in-law by Tony nominee Vanessa Williams. Prominent in support are a pair of Tony contenders: Tom Wopat as the sheriff sent to retrieve her and Condola Rashad as a soldier's wife she meets during her trip.
Tyson herself is an Oscar nominee — for "Sounder" (1972) — and a three-time Emmy winner. "The Autobiography of Miss Jane Pittman," in which she magnificently portrayed the 110-year-old title character, won her two Emmys in 1974 (it's hard to explain how she got the pair, but, if you saw that performance, you might be thinking, "Only two?"); the third came 20 years later with "The Oldest Living Confederate Widow Tells All," in which she played a house slave — a relative spring chicken of 60 or 70, alongside Anne Bancroft's 100-year-old widow.
Will Carrie Watts earn Tyson a Tony to carry home? The Tony is about the only award that this role hasn't won for an actress. Geraldine Page got the Oscar and the Independent Spirit Award for it. The 2005 Off-Broadway revival won the wonderful Lois Smith every award she was eligible for: the Obie, the Lortel, the Jefferson, the Outer Critics Circle Award, and the Drama Desk Award.
Only time will tell if Tyson's trip back to Broadway will be equally as fruitful.

Hello there! Looking for a partner to climb at the creek during the weekend of the 8th/9th until Monday the 12th. I'm on my way to Joe's Valley from New Mexico and wanted to break up the trip a bit. I climb 5.10 cracks pretty easily and follow 5.11 pretty well as well. Have triples of everything and am a super safe climber/belayer. If anyone is interested let me know! Lorenzo
Hi Lorenzo, We'll have a pretty big crew out there this weekend, you're welcome to join us. Probably be camping at Super Bowl, but check the message board by the bathroom, look for where the CU Alpine Club is. -David

3. Solar Charger/Battery Combo
One of the challenges of any long-distance bike ride (beyond the actual pedaling, of course) is in keeping your phone charged. Most cyclists enjoy using GPS apps to track their route and ride stats; however, that drains the battery pretty quick. In fact, while battery life on my iPhone is twelve hours for a normal day, it's three hours or less when on a ride using GPS or with a mapping app turned on. That's a bummer given that you probably have both the desire to track a long ride like a century route (100 miles), but still be certain that you have enough battery to be able to make a call home in case of emergency or just to update the family on what time you'll be back.
That's why the Revive Solar ReStore XL solar charger will be such a great gift to find under the tree: a solar-powered battery charger with the capacity to solve this problem while you're actually riding the bike. Retails for $65.00

7. Levi's Skinny Jeans (with Custom Features for Cyclists)
Skinny jeans are all the rage these days. Those low-riding, tight-fitting jeans are what you need if you're going to be in fashion, and Levi's 511 version is right at the leading edge.
Recognizing the natural link to young, bike-riding urbanites, Levi's has rolled out a special version of the 511 skinny jean with features specific to cyclists, including a higher waistband in back (to keep the infamous plumber's crack covered), a hidden cell phone pocket and a reflective stripe sewn into the underside of the material, which appears like magic only when the pant legs are rolled up.
Other nifty features in the cyclists' version of the Levi's 511 include stretchy fabric which is specially treated to be both water-resistant and anti-odor, and a special belt-loop waistband smartly designed for carrying a U-lock. Priced around $78
8. Oakley RadarLock Sunglasses
If you ride frequently or for any distance, you know the importance of having decent eyewear. Sunglasses help make you more comfortable by reducing brightness and glare on sunny days. But even when it's not bright daylight, you still want glasses to protect from junk flying up and to keep your eyeballs from drying out. And good glasses will help you even in low-light conditions.
In our testing, of the Oakley Radarlock to take care of all of these, and be durable, lightweight and comfortable at the same time. I'm sure you've experienced glasses that slip down your nose or feel loose around the temples or -- most problematic for a cyclist -- get slippery with perspiration. The Radarlock glasses fit nice and snug without pinching or feeling uncomfortable and stayed in just the right position.
Additionally, the optical quality was the best I've experienced. Vision through the Radarlock was always clear and sharp and distortion free, and particularly on the brightest days the glasses remained free of the secondary glare that seems to plague other sunglasses. Retails for around $220.

9. Element iPhone Case
If you're like me, you never ride your bike without having your phone with you. You're either on your way somewhere where you'll need it (like work or school) or else you carry it in case of a mechanical problem, thunderstorm or some other challenge. Or else you just carry it with you all the time, no matter what, even in places like the shower because we're all 21st century nerds and can't do anything without our electronic tether.
And if you're like me, you're also liable to drop your phone at the most inconvenient places and times. Like going through a busy intersection on a four-lane road about 25 mph on your bike. Nothing like the feeling of looking back and watching your phone bouncing across the pavement amid the auto traffic.
Fortunately, there are protective cases like the ones made by Element or Otterbox (review here) are a nice option. We had the opportunity to try out Element's Ion3, which had me from the moment I picked up on its a marketing bent aimed squarely at cyclists. Designed for the iPhone 3, the Element case is constructed of soft silicone rubber "that grips like a new set of track tires." No joke. When's the last time you've read something like that in an ad? Definitely worth a look. Element case retails around $25. Otterbox Commuter priced around $20.

Our BA (Hons) Accounting and Finance course is professionally accredited by the ACCA, CIMA and ICAEW and students may obtain the maximum number of exemptions from these bodies' professional examinations. The course will provide you with a comprehensive introduction to all areas of accounting and prepares you for further study at the final stages of professional accounting qualifications. In addition, we have a strategic partnership with Graham Paul Chartered Accountants, which provides for paid student placements with a view to graduate training contracts. Students taking the sandwich option will also undertake a year-long work placement between their second and third years.
Foundation Year (Year 0):
This programme incorporates a foundation year, which is intended for students wishing to enrol onto the three-year honours degree, who fall into one of the following categories:
1. Students who have not achieved the required A-level points (or equivalent) score to enter the first year of the degree programme.
2. Mature students who have been out of the formal education system for some time.
Further information about the foundation year can be found by clicking here.
Year One:
Year Two:
Year Three:
In most modules teaching consists of one lecture and one seminar per week. Seminars are practically based and are usually run as workshops where students have an opportunity to practice the material covered in the lecture. All modules are fully supported by the university's VLE and students may also make an appointment with module tutors and personal tutors at any mutually convenient time.
Coursework is generally of a very practical nature to reflect the nature of the skills and techniques required by a professional accountant. Assessment for ACCA-accredited modules in year three includes a 3-hour closed-book examination in order to satisfy exemption requirements.
There is a considerable demand from UK employers for accounting graduates and past experience suggests that a significant proportion of graduates will obtain graduate training places in 'the big four', finance sections of businesses, high street practices and the public sector.
The course is fully accredited by the main UK accounting bodies and you will be able to obtain maximum exemptions from the ACCA and ICAEW examinations and substantial exemptions from the CIMA examinations. This is therefore a demanding course, which combines academic content with the development of the knowledge and skills required to pass the accounting bodies' final examinations.
Foundation route:
Applicants must have a minimum of five GCSE passes grade A-C including English Language and Mathematics or equivalent and 80 UCAS Tariff Points (or equivalent) from at least one A Level.
Five GCSE passes including English Language and Mathematics (at least grade C) or equivalent, plus one of the following:
Those undertaking AAT Level 4, are eligible for 2nd year entry.
If your qualification isn't listed above, please refer to the UCAS website.
Candidates who do not possess normal minimum entry qualification are interviewed and considered individually by members of the course team on the basis of their prior learning or working background.
Selection Procedure:
Selection is usually on the basis of a completed UCAS application and where relevant an interview.
The Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA), The Chartered Institute of Management Accountants (CIMA) and The Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales (ICAEW)
UCAS Code(s): NN43
Foundation students should also use this UCAS code and apply for entry point 0 on the UCAS website.

"I love these! Ordered a set for my sister and my daughter. They look so cute on cards, gift wrapping, envelopes..anything to add just a cute personal touch. The matching address labels make this a very sweet and thoughtful gift! Love Tiny Prints!!!"
"These little stickers are so pretty. On my stickers I erased the date. I want to be able to use them next year too. Every year for Christmas I make little loafs of Apple Nut Bread to give as gifts. This year I have these precious stickers to put on the loafs. They will look WONDERFUL! I am so EXCITED!"
"The quality of these labels is great, and they look even better than pictured. Even though it is not "real" glitter, they look shimmery without the mess glitter leaves behind, which I like. Would definitely recommend."
