ATHENS -- Georgia defensive lineman Sterling Bailey didnt hide his discomfort when the subject of Rodney Garner came up. Bailey had no interest in comparing his former position coach to his new one, Chris Wilson.
Id rather not say, Bailey said. I dont want to cause any drama or anything.
It actually shouldnt be a source of drama. Garners move from Georgia after 13 years to Auburn this year appears to be working out for everybody.
Georgias defensive line has improved. So has Auburns.
Garner is happy to be back at his alma mater. Georgia doesnt feel spurned and instead is happy with his replacement, Wilson.
I know what he had to do whats best for him and his family, because its nothing more than a business, Georgia junior end Ray Drew said. So theres no hard feelings there at all.
Garner, who was not made available for interviews this week, was the Bulldogs longest-serving assistant, arriving at Georgia even before head coach Mark Richt. Garner was also the recruiting coordinator for years, so he had an impact on more than just the defensive linemen. He also hosted a yearly Thanksgiving feast at his house that became legendary.
But Garner felt the pull of his alma mater when Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn came calling in December as Georgia prepared for its bowl. Richt sensed it was time to let Garner move on.
I kind of got the feeling from the very beginning that this was going to be it, Richt said. He may not have said it right away, but I had a pretty strong suspicion that he was very attracted to them this time around. Hes had some other opportunities to go back home or back to Auburn, but this time I think just had a different overall tone to it.
Richt and defensive coordinator Todd Grantham went about finding a replacement. A month later, they landed on Wilson, who had been demoted from defensive coordinator at Mississippi State but was very well regarded as a defensive line coach.
So far its proving to be a good choice. So is Garner for Auburn.
Georgias rush defense ranks fourth in the SEC this year and is yielding 3.4 yards per carry. Last year, with four players who made NFL opening day rosters, the Bulldogs ranked 12th in the conference in run defense and yielded 4.1 yards per carry.
This years Georgia run defense has been solid, although stout would be going too far. The sack numbers do a lot to bring the average rushing yards down. Without sacks counting, Georgia is allowing 4.3 yards per rush. Taking sacks out of last years total, the yards-per-rush average goes up to 4.7.
Weve got so many things where we can clean up, Wilson said. Were solid. We need to get to the point where we can be dominant.
Under Garner this year, Auburn ranks ninth in run defense and is yielding 4.2 yards per carry. But both of those are improvements, as last years run defense was last in the SEC, allowing 4.9 yards per carry.
I think (Wilson) has done a great job since hes been here. I think Rodney did a great job when he was here, Grantham said. Both guys are good coaches, and I think both of them have got a bright future ahead of them.
There have been two big changes for Georgias defensive line this year. Both have Wilsons imprints, but those changes might have happened under Garner anyway.
Georgia is subbing liberally along the line, rotating in six to eight players per game. Last year, the unit struggled in the second half of many games after keeping its starters on the field most of the time.
The second change is the new players: Bailey, a sophomore, and Drew are two veterans who have seen a huge increase in snaps. And theyve flourished, with Drew leading the team in sacks.
But there seems to be general agreement that if Garner had stayed, he would have taken the same course with subbing and using different players with the lack of returning starters.
I believe it was just a matter of time, whether Garner was still here or Wilson had come in, Drew said.
Plus, thats what Garner is doing this year at Auburn. As many as 12 linemen have gone in during games. It seems to have had the desired effect, as there have been six games in which Auburn has shut out its opponent in the fourth quarter.
Georgias run defense has held up late, too, coming up with a big stop to seal the win over South Carolina.
The more subtle change might be in style. Garner was known for his tougher, blunt approach, while Wilson seems to have a softer side. Bailey, who said he hasnt spoken to Garner lately, is one player who seems to have benefitted from a fresh start.
Still, most people said the difference between Garner and Wilson is a small one.
Its hard to say who was more demanding. Its at times both, Drew said. You have your run-ins with both of them. And both of them have their days where you just want to say, OK, thats it, Ive had it, shut up. You look back at it, and there were some days that me and Coach Garner didnt see eye-to-eye, and there have been days where me and Coach Wilson dont see eye-to-eye. But at the end, you know that its all going to come together for the good of the team.
Wilson and Garner actually know each other on a professional basis. They met about a decade ago, when Wilson was an assistant at Oklahoma, and that staff visited Georgia.
I think the world of him. Hes a good man, Wilson said. Rodney did a great job, as well as Georgia brought in some really good players. Not only good players, but good men, good young men. So Im really fortunate in that regard.

By CRISTINA SILVAAssociated Press
PHOENIX (AP) - Arizona's top Democratic gubernatorial candidate says he would grant driver's licenses to young immigrants awarded work permits under a new Obama administration program.
Fred DuVal told the Associated Press Thursday that he would be friendlier to Arizona's immigrant community compared with Republican Gov. Jan Brewer.
Brewer signed into law Arizona's strict anti-immigrant law in 2010. She has said young people in the Obama administration program are still in the country illegally and should not receive public benefits, including driver's licenses.
DuVal's campaign also announced Thursday endorsements from former Democratic governors Raul Castro, Rose Mofford and Bruce Babbitt.
The announcement helps cement DuVal's status as the early Democratic front-runner in the 2014 gubernatorial race.
Former Tempe Mayor Hugh Hallman is also running for governor as a Republican.

Routes Sorted
L to R R to L Alpha
Sugarloaf is the largest formation in the Organs, and hosts some of the longest rock climbs for miles around. West of the Organ crest proper, it is impossible to miss as the pristine-looking granite dome so prominent when viewed from San Augustin Pass between Cruces and Alamogordo. The impressive length of the routes, difficult-to-reach summit (the easiest way up is 4th class), great views of the Sacramento Mountains and Tularosa Basin, and overall wilderness experience makes Sugarloaf a must-do.
Approach for Sugarloaf (in large part from John Hymer)
The approach to the start of North Face route will be well under two hours if you know the way or are efficient at finding the way. Nearly three hours may be more reasonable the first time. Access to other routes will take longer.
Descents From Summit - significant revision as of 15 October 2012
The descent from the summit back to the BLM's Aguirre Springs Campground will take around three hours at a steady human pace with no route-finding issues. Can be longer or shorter.
A) South Ridge Rap ~South (recommended): Traverse down the exposed 3rd class of the south ridge line. Some rope up for this traverse. Skip the first set of anchor bolts on skier's left and continue to the second set on skier's left. (And ignore the pair of bolts on skier's right.) Rap 150 feet (~46 meters) to the saddle south of Sugarloaf - a double rope rap.
Alternately, there is now a new intermediate bolted anchor (Photo) - please leave biners/rings until they can be upgraded - for which Steven Reneau indicates: "Confirmed that one 60 m rope should work for the recommended rap �A�, using the new intermediate anchors. I used a 70 m rope, and had ~20� to spare on the 2nd rap (~95� to ground, minus rope stretch; 1st rap was shorter)."
Once on the saddle, scramble down west a short ways to another bolt anchor; rap the short slab of 80 feet (~25 meters). Any packs at the base of your climb can usually be retrieved by a scramble / hike / bush-whack affair down along the west side of Sugarloaf (avoidable**).
B) South Ridge Rap ~West (okay but 'A' is recommended): [Matt Twyman reported near the end of 2012 that the bolted rap anchors are missing their carabiners we saw back in March 2012.] This descent completely bypasses both the saddle and the last short rap of option 'a' above. Traverse down the exposed 3rd class of the south ridge line and find anchor bolts on skier's right (newer style as of 3/2012); some rope up for this traverse. (For this descent ignore the two sets of anchor bolts on skier's left.) Rap about 115 feet (35 meters) down to the next set of anchor bolts which are newer style (3/2012); there is no ledge to stand on. From here, double 230 feet (70 meter) ropes will reach to the ground - shorter ropes may work. Any packs at the base of your climb can usually be retrieved by a scramble / hike / bush-whack affair down along the west side of Sugarloaf (avoidable**).
C) East Side Rap ('A' is recommended except that this descent may help avoid prevailing winds): See R. L. Ingraham's 1972 guide for location. This descent route from the summit does not involve the south ridge line; rather, it drops off the ~east side of the summit. As of 10/2012, there was a cairn consisting of 3 large stones 30 feet above the first anchor which consists of a good 3/8 bolt with 1 pin still in and 1 pin hanging. One double rope rap on 70 meter ropes allows one to then scramble/hike skier's right for about 5 minutes around Sugarloaf to connect up with the 'A' and 'B' descents. If the Ingraham rap distances are precise enough, double 60's should work as well.
Additional Information About The Descents
Much thanks to the many folks who have contributed to various parts of the above and below information regarding Sugarloaf descents: Marta Reece, climber pat, Gary Parker, John Hymer, George Perkins, and Matt Twyman. Any errors in transcribing contributions are mine.

Each week we'll talk to former Patriots star and current broadcaster Gino Cappelletti. This week, Gino discussed the war of words between the Patriots and Jets and help previewed Sunday's divisional-round game.
PFW: What has been your reaction to the mini war of words the Jets started this week with the Patriots?
Cappelletti: The rivalry is back and as strong as ever between these two teams. When you get your face rubbed in the ground and the mud like the Jets did last time, they try to look at some things that probably were not true or real — the jubilation that a winning team usually shows or partakes in. I think the Jets were looking for things to be critical about. That was their reaction to getting pummeled, by saying some things about the marquee players of the other team. There's some animosity developing between the two. You won't see the war of words coming from the Patriots. As the saying goes, a team is usually a reflection of their coach's personality and philosophy, and certainly (Bill) Belichick and Rex (Ryan) are two different types of coaches. There's no set formula as to being successful, but Rex seems to want to say things and provide locker-room clippings and fodder for the opponent, and that's a no-no as far as Belichick is concerned, and Belichick's players have bought into what he does and how he does it.
PFW: How do you see the Jets' running game matching up with the Patriots' defense?
Cappelletti: It's quite evident to the coaches, players and viewers the success the Jets had running the football (against the Colts). They controlled the clock by running the ball and kept (Peyton) Manning on the bench. This is what I expect them to do against the Patriots — see if they can control the ball and continue to run with (LaDainian) Tomlinson and (Shonn) Greene. They did an outstanding job and they certainly would want to do that again and maybe not throw the ball quite as often when they got blitzed 45-3. The Patriots have been successful in getting out on top of their opponents early, especially over the last eight games. With that, they're forcing the other team to play catch-up, and some teams are not adept at that because you need a quarterback throwing the ball and receivers getting open, and then you don't fool many of the defenders with the play action and you're playing into their hands. That's what playing with the lead affords you. It's a nice way to play the game.
PFW: What do you expect to see from Rex Ryan's defense on Sunday?
Cappelletti: I expect the Jets' defense to play a much better ball game than the last time they were up here. They were down, they got even further down as the score mounted, and they couldn't do much about it. I expect their defense to be really pumped up for this game. The quarterback hits can sometimes take its toll and that could be in their game plan. They didn't blitz that much and I think they will. This is what Rex Ryan did in Baltimore — designed some real effective blitzes. If they can throw Tom (Brady) off his rhythm, which is what all the opponents have been trying to do, but they haven't been successful because he makes his reads real fast, finds the open guy real fast and he knows where he will go before the snap because of what he sees as far as matchups are concerned. (The Jets) are going to be a very aggressive, attack-style defense rather than sit back and let Brady have the underneath stuff. It's going to be interesting. It will be physical game, all the things that make a great football game.

Kasun Named to NSCAA Third Team
FORT MYERS, Fla. – Sophomore Ally Kasun (Lancaster, Pa./Hempfield HS) of the FGCU women's soccer team has been named to the National Soccer Coaches Association of America (NSCAA) All-Southeast Region Third Team, marking the second-consecutive season the NSCAA has included her on the list.
Kasun is the only player from the Atlantic Sun Conference be named to first, second or third teams.
The Lancaster, Pa. native helped guide the Eagles to arguably the best offensive season in program history. The Eagles broke multiple scoring records including goals (43) and points (130). Kasun scored just one goal in 2013 but added five assists for seven points. Her five handouts were good for second on the team. Her efforts earned her a spot on the All A-Sun First Team for the second-straight year.
FGCU concluded 2013 with 13-3-4 overall record and claimed a fourth-consecutive A-Sun Regular Season Championship by going 7-0-2 in conference play. The season came to an end in the A-Sun Championship game where the Eagles fell in penalty kicks to Jacksonville after battling to a 0-0 draw.

We decided, given the chilly weather, to attempt the Duffy-inspired photo shoot. Loopy wore two sweaters... and false eyelashes.
I think when she is older, Loopy should wear false eyelashes all the time... she wore them well. They didn't "wear her". What do you think?
Do you think it would be glamorous to be the only girl in high school wearing false eyelashes? Or just odd?
If I could get away with wearing them and looking this good... I would wear them every day! But I can't put them on my own eyes. I can only put them on other people.
Don't laugh, Loopy. You'll be old someday, too.
I made twenty thank you cards for the participants of the Zombie Jar Swap. I've seen pictures of some of the projects and it's very exciting! Participants will be posting on the 25th of October.

KUSA - In a landmark decision this week, a federal appeals court ruled that a job seeker can sue Internet people-search website Spokeo, Inc. for publishing false information about him, even without proof of economic injury.
Denver labor law attorney Kim Ryan explained the case on 9NEWS 7am. Spokeo aggregates information about people from White Pages listings, public records, and social network information, according to its website.
It publishes listings, including what appears to be an individual's contact data, marital status, age, occupation, economic health, arrest records, family members, and wealth level, among other information, even including links to photo and video.
One job seeker in California discovered that Spokeo erroneously had listed him as being wealthy and holding an advanced degree. Concerned that the misinformation was harming his chances of getting a job, Thomas Robins filed suit in federal court against Spokeo claiming it willfully violated the federal Fair Credit Reporting Act.
Spokeo argued in court filings the case should be thrown out, claiming it is not a credit reporting agency, and without proof of economic harm Robins had no standing to bring suit.
The trial court agreed and found in favor of Spokeo. But Robins appealed the decision to the United States Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and won. He can now take his case back to the trial court to determine if Spokeo willfully violated the law and what remedies might be available, Ryan said.
If he wins his trial, he could recover monetary damages, cease and desist orders, attorneys' fees, and costs for the lawsuit and appeal. At trial, Spokeo may renew its claim that it is not covered by the federal credit reporting law and therefore is not liable, according to Ryan.
She said Spokeo also likely would argue that even if the law applies, the company took reasonable actions, and any damages are not the fault of the company. Unless the case settles out of court, Ryan said a lengthy pre-trial battle could still result in a dismissal or verdict for either side.
If it is like most civil federal lawsuits, it either will be dismissed or settled before a trial. An estimated 98 percent of all cases filed in court never make it all the way to a jury trial, according to recent statistics. If this case does go to a trial, it could be another year or two of pre-trial discovery and court filings before it is heard by a judge or jury, according to Ryan.
Why this case is important to Colorado employers and individuals
Ryan said if companies use Spokeo or similar sites to screen potential job candidates, they may find inaccurate or incomplete information based on bad data, and they could miss out on viable employees.
They also risk discovering protected information companies are prohibited from considering in the hiring process, such as certain health information, arrest records, bankruptcies, and other legally protected information, according to Ryan.
She said this practice could expose companies to discrimination
lawsuits under federal and state laws. Employers themselves also may be subjected to mistaken reporting and false information posted about them on such sites, Ryan said, which could hurt their business goodwill and bottom lines.
Although the company lost its appeal in this case, Ryan said that this ruling could help both employers and individuals protect themselves by allowing them to file suit alleging willful violations even if they cannot yet prove any tangible monetary losses
She said that these losses often are not readily apparent at the time a suit is filed but are more clear over the course of the case.
The case is Robins v. Spokeo, Inc.

The Oakland A's had an announced attendance of 1,476,791 in 2011. Announced attendance. Wink. Rumor has it that the actual, physical attendance was under a million.
That means that this picture from the Library of Congress is of a crowd that's larger than 10% of the 2011 Oakland Athletics' season attendance. The crowd is almost 20% of the total attendance for the 1974 Giants. And it was to watch the White Autos take on Omaha, Neb. in Cleveland. Maybe that Cleveland place can support a second team in the market ...

Have been to the Rubicon at least 100 times, but this was the first time since 2001 (when I moved away from Sacto). I first stopped by the brewpub back in 89, when I first moved to sacto from Memphis, Tn. Then as now, the Rubicon consists of a fairly small pub, with some corrigated metal covering the brewing area on the left as you walk in, and then some small brick columns holding up the back bar that seperates the modest bar area (roughly 10 seats or so) from the modest size dining area. There's also a fair size outside patio area, that was pretty much full on a gorgeous Tuesday night. The Rubicon has always had a minimalist, no frills vibe, and so it was this evening on a Tuesday in early September.
As for the beer, on this particular night they had some 6 beers on tap, with I think one limited release sour (that was blended with some apple hard cider). The IPA and I think the pale are also available in bombers to go. Otherwise, they had the standard IPA, pale ale, amber and dry stout on tap, along with a sessionable copper ale. Quality was pretty good.... the IPA and Monkey Knife Fight were both quite good, which was no surprise. I should add that the Rosebud strong ale had just blown (bottles were gone as well), and they mentioned that cask beers tapped earlier in the week tended to be long gone by Tuesday. So I don't think the selection this evening was typical; I think normally it's a bit stronger than what I encountered on a Tuesday night.
As for service, the bartenders were friendly and engaging, and seemed pretty knowledgeable about the beers on tap and beer in general. Didn't try the food this night, but in the past I've always been pretty happy with the fairly basic pub grub here.
Back in 89, this place really stood out. Today it's still a solid place that I was happy to revisit, and I'd come here again if I were in Sacto... but I'm not sure it's the sort of place I'd go out of my way to visit. Times have changed since then, and there's just a lot more on offer in Sacto and N. California.

I like this place. I eaten here about twice. A nice, friendly atmosphere and good customer service. I wish they had more of a selection of their beers to choose from. They let us have a sample of their hard apple cider which was pretty good. Nice place in downtown Sacramento

We stopped in for dinner on a Friday night. The place never had more than a table or two empty. The Black and Blu burger was good, the chili was not. The children's fish and chips order was 50/50: fish was good, waffle fries were bland. We had the pale ale, stout and barley wine. The pale was great and the other two decent. The service was good, but a little slow. I probably would have had another pint if the server had come near our table again. They had about six of their beers on tap and another four guest taps. 22 oz bottles of their IPA and pale ale to-go. Stop by if you're in Sacramento.

I have been to brewpubs all over the word and find Rubicon to have the right ingredients of quality brew, with a relaxing urban attitude. They are one of the mainstays of the microbrew scene, being around since the 1980's, and having produced a solid hoppy IPA with malty backbone as their flagship ale. They also produce a variety of other impressive brews including the Rosebud named after one of Jerry Garcia's guitars, which is brewed in his honor each August. The same brew master has been at the helm for decades there with a solid but modest staff. The food is quite good for bar food. I had an exceptional bratworst for lunch there made by a local sausage haus. It's a community oriented place that is proud of it's contributions in the NorCal brew scene. Definitely worth checking out.

No. Adding a "be" to that phrase means someone should not force such a man to sail. As the sentence stands, it means that a man not willing to accepts the risks of sailing should not, of his own volition, put to sea.

A 6-year-old from Olive Branch is trying to make a difference by helping a hurting community in Newtown, Connecticut.
Collier Morgan has been to a number of places in southern Illinois to sell decorated mistletoe in mid December.
He sold the plants for $3 dollars each hoping to raise money for Christmas presents.
He made $25, but before he had the chance to buy anything he heard about the tragic shooting in Newtown, Connecticut.
At that point, Collier changed his mind and decided to give the money to an organization that would help those affected by the shooting.
"I want to help out the people up there, and this is the only way I know how to help," said Collier.
We caught up with Collier Sunday morning at Food Town in Olive Branch, where he was selling mistletoe. While there, he was able to rack up $20 in just 30 minutes.

Two of the Jets' veterans and locker-room leaders are on injured reserve and set to become free agents in the offseason. OLB Bryan Thomas and S Jim Leonhard have expiring contracts and cannot earn extra dollars on the field, as both suffered season-ending injuries.
The way we hear it, the team likes both players but has to be in wait-and-see mode when it comes to their health. One of the issues with the Jets this year, we hear, has been a lack of chemistry in the locker room, something the pair of veterans could have helped with.
Thomas will be 33 at the start of next season, and the team has young talent at the LB position that has gotten opportunities this season, such as Jamaal Westerman and Garrett McIntyre. The Jets called up LB Ricky Sapp from the practice squad this week.
Leonhard, 29, is coming off a second injury to the same leg, forcing him to end back-to-back seasons on I.R. His replacement, Brodney Pool, is also set to be a free agent.

Microsoft System Center's Orchestrator is an example of a precanned service. Take an example from Greg Shields, a virtualization MVP: Admins today still use Active Directory's Users and Computers function to add users to Active Directory instead of giving that ability to the HR department. It's true that in 2000, when Active Directory first came out, you wouldn't think of doing that. But now you can use System Center Orchestrator and other workflow tools for identity management to let others do the work. Shields says "it only takes a little up-front automation effort [such as with Orchestrator] to pay long-term efficiency dividends."
Many in IT fear automation: If you automate a task you perform, you make yourself dispensable, right? Let me clue you in on a serious truth: If you don't evolve, you will indeed be dispensable. Windows systems have become so easy to install and configure that many newbies coming into the workforce can replace you. They are armed with a lifetime of Internet searching skills and can Google just about anything. They can handle virtualization, Active Directory, Group Policy, and more through a simple search.
It's those deeper tools like Exchange, SharePoint, Lync, and SQL that still give you an edge. If you add an understanding of System Center, you'll be even further protected. But not for long -- everything that used to be hard has now been made into step-by-step guides, videos, and so on. The deeper tools that provide IT admins job security today will eventually follow this path too.
If you really want to ensure you have a place to call "work," you must stop fighting the need to learn PowerShell.
PowerShell is not your enemy. It's your ticket to employment. If I didn't know PowerShell, I would never have been able to get Exchange and SharePoint to trust each other and enable that site mailbox feature I described at the beginning of this post. I promise you that a newbie IT admin wouldn't be able to get this capability to work -- but neither would a veteran if he or she wasn't a PowerShell master.
It's not enough to just be proficient or simply get by with PowerShell to remain relevant in the modern enterprise Windows environment. You need to master it. PowerShell provides the capability to script, using .ps1 scripts that you either borrow and tweak or write from scratch. These scripts automate processes and, in doing so, make your workload more manageable while at the same time casting you as indispensable and the one who knows how to get it all working.
Is automation the only gap I see in modern IT admins' ability to thrive in their jobs over the long term? Not at all. But it's a big one you can immediately rectify with a little research, an online class, some video training, a book, or a conference.
If you want a long-term career as an IT admin, focus your education on System Center and PowerShell.

Hi Friends, I'm considering a MEC Alpinelite 85 purchase. I know the Alpinelite 30 is well regarded as a great value. I could use a larger pack that would be a general use pack - cragging, camping, winter multidays, etc. The MEC Alpinelite 85 seems like it could cover these bases well enough for only $110. I went camping the other weekend with camping gear, double rack, two ropes, food, 4L water, and beer, and really was wishing I had a larger, comfortable pack for it all. I'd want to be able to carry 50lbs comfortably. Here's how I currently see it: Pros: inexpensive, lightweight, simple design, longitudinal access zipper Cons: not super durable, suspension not great (?), minimalist design I'd be very interested to hear the opinions of others who have used this pack or similar packs. For a fit reference, I'm a tall thin 6'3" and 175lbs. Maybe I should just get an Arc'teryx Bora 85 for camping/hiking and an MEC Alpinelite 60 for minimalist alpine style stuff?
Buy the Alpinelite, but make sure to get the tall size. I have had this pack (or a previous 90L version?) for a couple of years and love it, using it in the summer and winter. It is plenty durable and very functional. Its suspension is more than adequate for carrying 50 lbs comfortably for long distances. If you get into the 65-70 pound range the shoulder straps tend to dig into my shoulders a bit, because you have to extend the collar of the pack making it taller, but the waist belt is fine. It does work for heavier loads, though, and skis strap on to it very easily. The yellow powder collar extends high enough that you can use the pack as a bivy sack (it reaches my chest). I see no reason to get any other pack for the purposes you mentioned. The pack is well-made, it's ueber light, and the price is right. It compares very favorably in many respects to CiloGear packs which cost oh so much more. Buy the pack!
I like my alpenlite 30 lots but it starts to suck with a rope and rack and water and food. I wouldn't want to use a scaled up version for heavy loads and long distance. It's the old trade off of weight vs comfort. I am a big fan of Osprey for carrying really heavy loads comfortably.

Gap year: Time off, with a plan
Whether it's to travel, work, or consider your next move, taking time off can be fulfilling. Having a plan can help you avoid pitfalls.
After high school, Matt Hendren needed a break. "I'd had a really full academic year," he says. "I was a little burned out and not so eager to get to the next academic step. I knew that I wanted to go to school, but I wasn't fired up about it just then."
So Hendren deferred his admission to the University of North Carolina and spent 2 years working for City Year Boston, an AmeriCorps-funded program. The experience, he says, helped to reinvigorate him and get him excited about returning to school.
People like Hendren take time off from school or other endeavors for different reasons—and at different points in their lives. This transitional period is often called a "gap year." Read this article for help in deciding whether to take a gap year and how to make the most of your time off.
The next few pages describe what a gap year is, including its pros and cons. Another section has tips for planning a successful year off. Suggestions for more information are located at the end of the article.

Springsteen sell-out at Leeds Arena
Tickets for Bruce Springsteen's gig at Leeds Arena sold out in under 10 minutes.
More than 200 people - some who had queued since 9pm last night - waited for the pop up box office to open at Leeds Town Hall.
'The Boss' will play the £60m venue on Wednesday, July 24. It had been thought Sir Elton John's previously-announced show in September would be the first at the 13,500-capacity arena.
But the venue decided to arrange a one-off 'pre-opening' date when Springsteen made a special request to play there.

ALEXANDRIA, La. (BP) -- It's amusing, it's quirky, it's clean and it's wildly popular. It's the hit reality program "Duck Dynasty" on the cable network A&E.
Duck Dynasty's fourth season premiered Aug. 14 with 11.8 million viewers, making it cable's most-watched nonfiction telecast to date. Last season the program averaged 8.4 million viewers.
For the uninitiated, Duck Dynasty features the Robertson family who became wealthy from their family operated Duck Commander business in West Monroe, La.
The company makes products for duck hunters, primarily the duck call named Duck Commander, a revolutionary design patented by family patriarch Phil in 1972.
The business began in a family shed, where Phil spent 25 years making duck calls from Louisiana cedar trees. His son Willie became the company's CEO in 2006. Under his leadership the family business has grown into a multi-million dollar company.
The family previously was featured on the series "Benelli Presents Duck Commander" and its spinoff "Buck Commander," which still airs on the Outdoor Channel.
The Robertson men, brothers Phil and Si and Phil's sons Willie, Jase and Jep all work for the family business and are known for their long beards. Phil and his wife Kay have a fourth son, Allen, the oldest, a minister who is the only clean-shaven one of the bunch.
One thing more, the Robertsons are, by their own estimation, rednecks. They are simple, hard-working and unpretentious. In their world, camouflage and coveralls not only are work clothes, they also double as formal wear.
In an entertainment culture thick with the stench of sexual innuendo and the foul odor of every dysfunction imaginable, Duck Dynasty is a breath of fresh air. The content is clean and features a close-knit intact family who are unapologetic about their Christian faith.
Pundits and television critics have tried to understand Duck Dynasty's appeal. Many come up with the same reason -- engaging and entertaining characters. While there is no doubt that the Robertsons are an interesting lot, especially Phil's off-beat younger brother Si, there is much more to Duck Dynasty.
I believe the elements that keep viewers tuning in for the Robertson clan are wholesomeness, authenticity and values.
Duck Dynasty is good clean fun. The Robertsons pursuit of life is wholesome. The show is free of sexual innuendo, coarse humor and perverted dysfunction. People who are looking for entertainment to enjoy with their families have found it with Duck Dynasty.
Regarding the Robertsons' authenticity, what you see is what you get.
A&E's reality programming chief Lily Neumeyer, also an executive producer of the series, told USA Today that, although some of the situations might be scripted, once the cameras are rolling the Robertsons take it from there. The spontaneity is real and refreshing.
Additionally, the Robertsons' faith and values are real. They are unapologetic about the fact they are Christians. They also defy the typical stereotype many people have of what a Christian should be. The Robertsons live their faith; they don't feel the need to portray it via perma-press clothes and coiffed hair.
Each episode is peppered with staunchly conservative values. At the close of each program, a moral is drawn from the program, always emphasizing something of virtue.
Residents of Louisiana were well-acquainted with the Robertson family, especially patriarch Phil, long before their Duck Dynasty fame. On almost any given Sunday, Phil can be found at a church in the Bayou State sharing his faith.
Duck Dynasty proves there is a market for wholesome entertainment that features authentic people who embrace traditional, even Christian, values. What is amazing is the fact that much of Hollywood continues to ignore this market.
For every Duck Dynasty there are a dozen or more programs that flaunt foul-mouth characters, situational ethics and destructive values. Families are depicted as dysfunctional, featuring clueless parents with shrewd-beyond-their-years progeny.
While Hollywood creators and producers may say they are driven by profit, the proof is in the pudding. If Hollywood really wants to make money, it would do well to follow the Duck Dynasty formula and offer clean, wholesome entertainment.
Until then, I'm going to assume the entertainment moguls are mostly about pursuing an agenda of promoting vain values that many in America reject. Based on the ratings, it is evident that millions of viewers -- 11.8 million to be exact -- are pleased with wholesome, authentic and values-laden Duck Dynasty. And A&E is quacking all the way to the bank.

PSA: I received a personalized baby blanket to facilitate this review. As always, opinions are my own.
Review » Personalized Baby Blanket from Fill in the Blankie
When Ethan was born in 2002, my mother made him a baby blanket. She had planned on making Trent a baby blanket too, but he was born 13 weeks early so he never got his own baby blanket – until now. I recently ordered a personalized baby blanket from Fill in the Blankie and I'd like to share my experience with you.
Our Thoughts
Fill in the Blankie offers several different styles of baby blankets which are sorted from soft to softest on their website. It took me a bit to decide which blanket I wanted and I decided on the Hazel's Pride and Joy style. Once I decided I was a bit disappointed to discover that my choice of color – laskeside reflection blue, was not available. I knew for sure that I wanted that blanket style so I settled for the gingersnap cookie color. This particular style of blanket is available in two sizes – 33×33 or 26×26 inches. Being that Trent is now almost 8 years old, I decided to go with the larger blanket.
After I decided on my blanket style, size and color I had to decide what I'd like embroidered on the satin on all four sides. I also had to choose the font style (they offer several) and color of thread I wanted them to use for the embroidery. They offer glow in the dark thread in several colors so that is what I chose. Unfortunately, their machines have a hard time handling some of the glow in the dark thread so I had to choose regular thread. That was a bit of a disappointment, because Trent would have loved the glow in the dark thread. You can have whatever text you'd like embroidered on your blanket or up to 50 characters per side. They also have many different suggestions if you're unsure of what to have put on your blanket. Trent and I have our own special song (Rock-a-bye Baby), so that is what I had embroidered on his blanket.
Fill in the Blankie also gives you the opportunity to add a special icon and/or a cute little stuffed animal to your order. I showed Trent the site and asked him which animal he would like, and as it turns out the only one available was the pig. We settled for the pig and Trent anxiously waited for the blanket to arrive.
We received the blanket less than two weeks after placing the order, which isn't bad considering each blanket is personalized. Trent liked the blanket but was a bit disappointed about the size. Of course you have to consider that he isn't a baby or toddler so to him it does seem small. The blanket style I ordered (Hazel's Pride & Joy) was rated a 10/10 for the cuddle factor or softness and listed as a medium weight. I was expecting a super-soft blanket with a substantial weight to it and it was nothing like I expected. The material is scratchy (even after laundering) and I would say it is not much thicker than a flannel sheet. We have a cotton blanket I purchased at a department store for $13 (full size) that is softer and better quality material. This baby blanket would have cost me $160 if I had purchased it myself. For that kind of money I was expecting a luxurious, high quality baby blanket and that's definitely not what I received. If I would have purchased it myself I would have been an unhappy customer.
The little stuffed pig we received with the blanket was a welcome surprise. It is made of corduroy and is very soft and cuddly. If you choose to order a stuffed animal with your blanket it does cost an additional $24.

Cwmcarn forest could give hydroelectric power
4:13pm Tuesday 22nd January 2013 in News
THE power of the water at Cwmcarn Forest could be harnessed to provide a green source of revenue for Caerphilly council.
The council has established there is an opportunity to generate hydroelectricity from the Nant Carn watercourse at Cwmcarn Forest.
Feasibility studies indicated the site had potential for generating hydroelectricity, and flow monitoring has confirmed viability. Further studies and funding will be needed to take the project forward.

"Will the Field Be Ready?"
Gen. Neyland probably met his match in longtime groundskeeper Deanie Hoskins. Deanie took great pride in the turf on Shields-Watkins Field and wasn't reluctant to share his opinions about the field with anybody who asked.
Neyland once asked if the field would be ready for the first game.
Deanie's response was vintage: "My field will be ready. What about your football team?"
Neyland's official response has not yet been recorded.

Jamie Oleksiak, the Dallas Stars first-round draft pick from 2011, is headed back to Austin.
The 6-foot-7 defenseman had a decent six-game stint with Dallas after being called up a little less than two weeks ago, but the Stars decided to send him back to the AHL today. No official reason has come down the pipe yet, but one would imagine it's to get him more ice time than the 15:40 he got in Dallas as well as more experience in all situations.
Oleksiak was solid for the Stars, picking up his first career point in last night's 7-4 loss to the Calgary Flames. He had one points, two penalty minutes and a minus-one rating in six games played.
He was scratched for Monday's victory over the Edmonton Oilers after struggling against the fast, high-pressure forecheck in the previous game up north and seemed to struggle a little bit with making quick enough decisions with the puck overall - something completely natural for young defensemen less than a year removed from juniors.
And who might be coming back to Dallas to be the seventh defenseman? No official word yet, but Mike Heika has heard some rumblings.
Stars are sending Jamie Oleksiak back to Texas (AHL). Speculation is Jordie Benn coming up, but no confirmation yet.— Mike Heika (@MikeHeika) February 14, 2013
Official release is below...
FRISCO, Texas - The Dallas Stars announced today that defenseman Jamie Oleksiak has been assigned to the Texas Stars, Dallas' development affiliate in the American Hockey League (AHL).
Oleksiak, 20, appeared in five games with Dallas, recording one assist and averaging 15:40 time on ice. He recorded his first NHL point in last night's contest against the Calgary Flames, notching one assist. The Toronto native is one of seven players in the League listed at 6-foot-7 or taller and became the tallest player in Dallas Stars history when he made his NHL debut on Feb. 1 against Phoenix.
Prior to being recalled by Dallas on Jan. 30, he led all Texas Stars defensemen in scoring with 23 points (3G-20A) in 43 contests. Oleksiak played in the 2013 AHL All-Star Game in Providence, R.I. where he earned the game-winning assist and a plus-3 rating in the contest.
The Dallas Stars wrap-up their three-game road trip through Western Canada on Friday, Feb. 15 against the Vancouver Canucks at 9:00 p.m. (TV: FOX Sports Southwest; Radio: 1310 The Ticket).

SARANAC LAKE — Resort managers say they support a bed tax in Franklin County but want clarification about how their booked reservations at agreed-upon rates would be handled.
Jacob Kipping, assistant general manager of The Point in Saranac Lake, said he has accepted deposits for reservations into 2015 for accommodations that cost between $1,500 and $2,990 a night.
He has more than a dozen such clients booked already and says he should not have to go back and change the price they locked in so the 5 percent bed tax can be added.
Mary Gach, general manager at Ampersand Bay Resort and Boat Club in Saranac Lake, said the same situation applies to her guests, who book ahead and pay a minimum of $200 a night to a maximum of $3,400 a week to stay.
County Attorney Jonathan Miller is expected to look into the issue and report back to legislators.
Kipping and Gach were among the few people who attended a second series of public hearings on the county's proposed bed tax, which needs approval from the State Legislature and Gov. Andrew Cuomo in order to be enacted.
Those attending included Nicole Brownell, owner of Gauthier's Saranac Lake Inn on the Essex County side of Saranac Lake, who participates in bed-tax collection there.
She said she has never had her guests complain about the added rate and that her business gets a lot of benefit from the promotions and advertising funded through the 3 percent bed tax.
Brownell brought along a one-page form that accommodation owners file to report their bed-tax income quarterly. She said the process is easy.
She was especially pleased about the destination marketing done by the Regional Office of Sustainable Tourism, which promotes Saranac Lake and Essex County. She said ROOST boosted her business by creating visitor-stay packages and opening her to business workshops and added exposure she never had before.
Jim Murnane, owner of Best Western Mountain Lake Inn, said the marketing funding raised through bed tax "has been incredibly beneficial, and I don't see how Franklin County can say no to this."
He said the few complaints he has heard are from places that plan larger tour groups, but most customers realize "it's the cost of doing business, and they expect it. They're not put off by it at all."
