Your weekend guide to a host of fantastic hockey viewing options for the weekend.
The Everett Silvertips today announced that 1994-born forward and Edmonton Oilers prospect Jujhar Khaira will join the club for training camp next week at Comcast Arena. Khaira will then depart Everett to join other NHL prospects in Penticton, BC for the annual Young Stars Classic tournament before attending Oilers training camp in Edmonton.
The Edmonton Oilers have signed forward Jujhar Khaira.
Professional hockey has been in the Puget Sound region for much longer than most people realize. Here's a brief rundown on the team names, leagues, and dates.
The two hockey teams in Seattle & Everett are not a part of a professional league, but they do help provide players for the NHL - to draft, that is.
Watching a hockey game is a bit different because of how an ice rink is set up. It's not rocket science, but typical sports logic doesn't always apply, either.
Introducing Frozen Grounds; a column where the non-hockey fan in Seattle can see what the NHL is about.
Seattle has long been a place that the NHL has wanted a team. But for many years, that seemed like a pipe dream. Until yesterday.
It's not a bad time to familiarize yourself with the 2012 NHL draft class and prospects who may fall to the Bolts.
The NHL has long had its eye on putting a team in the Seattle area, but the area has lacked a suitable facility for a team. The City of Tacoma is looking to change that.

David Reaves Offers Free Level Controller
Recklinghausen, Germany - May 1, 2012 - David P. Reaves III has released the public beta of his new, free Windows-based personal audio level controller called FreeChocolate! Loudness and Level Comfortizer. According to Reaves: "In every media device, consumers are irritated with abrupt and excessive level variations. I'm developing software with a radically simple user interface in front of a very sophisticated, natural-sounding control system. If I do this right, such a control concept will allow the end-user the option to maintain loudness levels within their own personal 'comfort zone,' while, importantly, perceptually maintaining the integrity of the original work."
His goal is to place effective control at the fingertips of the consumer. Reaves is initially offering a free Windows app FreeChocolate! to get initial user feedback before moving forward, and to work out any rough edges in the idea.
"A separate app such as 'FreeChocolate!' is just the trial stage. Ultimately, this concept needs to be integrated right into electronic devices, just before the final volume control. I'd like to offer a refined core set of universal, resource-friendly DSP code to vendors as a licensed plug-in for any number of mobile or home products whose enjoyment might be enhanced by more consistent levels and loudness."
Why call it 'FreeChocolate!'? "I love chocolate!" says Reaves. "The word suggests a positive feeling to many people; it's a name that brings with it a kind of cozy charm. And comfortizer is a simple way of saying exactly what it's intended to do: Make uneven audio sources more comfortable to listen to."
FreeChocolate! Level and Loudness Comfortizer is available to interested beta users by sending a request to email@example.com. System requirements: Windows XP SP 3, Vista or Windows 7. Works with ASIO or standard Windows audio I/O drivers.

Trees for Troops will deliver approximately 18,000 trees at 62 Bases in 2012, and some of them came through South Georgia Tuesday.
100 trees passed through the National Guard Armory in Thomasville. Some will go to families in the Thomas County area, and the others will go to other locations, some overseas.
Trees for Troops serves U.S. troops stationed in far-off lands over the holidays, and delivers American-grown Christmas trees even to the other side of the world, just in time for Christmas.
The 2012 program kicked off in a big way November 20 at Dull's Tree Farm in Thorntown, Indiana. The event was filled with excitement as more than 50 volunteers -- including FedEx employees, Future Farmers of America and the National Guard -- helped organize, box and load 300 trees to be shipped overseas.
Trees were donated by members of the Indiana Christmas Tree Association, and shipping was donated by FedEx. The lucky recipients are two U.S. bases in Kuwait (Camp LSA and Camp Virginia) and troops stationed at Bagram Airfield in Afghanistan.
Trees for Troops, a program of the Christmas SPIRIT Foundation, provides farm-grown Christmas Trees to armed forces members and their families in the U.S. and stationed overseas.
Since 2005, Trees for Troops has provided 103,186 Christmas Trees to military families and troops in the United States and overseas. Each year, thousands of Christmas Tees are donated by American farm families and the public, and FedEx delivers these trees to more than 60 military bases.

There has been a lot of talk about Newcastle's season so far and not much of it has been positive After all, sitting at 16th place after 23 fixtures was not what was expected after last year's stellar, if unrepeatable, 5th placed finish.
Newcastle, in the eyes of some, including this author, were always likely to regress from last year's position. Some elements of last year's excellent run were not likely to be repeated, points gained on the back of unsustainable scoring %'s, the form of Cisse and the opportunity to pick a relatively settled side, also.
I thought Newcastle would finish in 9th place in 2012/13 and said so here in early August:
For a 5th placed finish in 2011/12, Newcastle were a poor possession and shot team who rode on the back of two strikers who, at completely different times in the season, enjoyed such high levels of performance that I feel they must regress next year. If Ba and Cisse regress toward the mean in terms of scoring % and minutes per goal I believe that Newcastle will regress in the EPL also. Goals mean points.
Newcastle are no two man team, though. Excellent individual performances from Krul, Colocinni and Cabaye certainly helped. Newcastle had a sensational season in 2011/12 and I think this year they will regress to having a good season and finish 9th.
This year Cisse is dying in front of goal, Ba and all his talent (and luck) have been sold, and injuries have decimated the squad, 9th may be attainable still.
Normally, we agree that injuries are part of the game, but there are injuries at a football club and then there are injuries at teams like Aston Villa, and to slightly lesser extent--Newcastle.
The blood red line denotes a team's average injury total for each fixture. As we have moved through the season injuries increase. Villa are being mauled by injuries and Newcastle have been badly hurt, Cabaye, Tiote, Taylor, Ben Arfa, these are all important men for Newcastle who have spent extended periods unavailable for selection.
Some see injuries as a convenient excuse to avoid talking about how Newcastle over-achieved last year and hence were thus always likely to regress this year. I agree with the regression theory, as previously stated, but I don't think Newcastle would have slid this far down the table without a heavy injury list, and player unrest.
Fixture List
All of the above is just foreplay for what I really want to look at: Newcastle's fixture list. Specifically a direct comparison between Newcastle's fixture list this season and the fixture's against those same teams last season. Simon Gleave of Infostrada and Chris Collinson of SkySports have taken an idea, originally from Omar Chaudhuri and ran with it. Check their Twitter feeds for more detail on the method.
It's quite simple though: Take Any Newcasle fixture this season and check the result against the result against that identical opponent from last season. Relegated teams last year are replaced with promoted teams.
Newcastle are 19 points down when comparing this years fixtures with last years, and that is the biggest margin in the League. The primary question is: Can anything about Newcastle's opponents form indicate why Newcastle have so many fewer points?
Newcastle's Direct comparison Fixture list.
The higher the number, the easier the fixture. *Spurs' numbers have been entered as their current total from the 23 game mark, otherwise the data for Newcastle's first game of the season would be skewed with 0 valuations.
This chart uses Newcastles' identical 2011/12 and 2012/13 fixture lists, takes the opponents league position at the time of the fixture and converts it into a moving average.
The amazing thing about this is how close the two sets of fixture lists are at the 23rd game mark (not all teams' fixture lists are anywhere near as close). The fixture lists were a little apart (2012/13 being visibly easier) up until game 13, whereupon the two fixture lists track each other well.
Overall, the difference between the opponents average league position at the time of fixture in 2012/13 and 2011/12 is minimal. 2012/13's fixture list sees opponents, on average, placed at 0.43 league places lower than those opponents of 2011/12
There is nothing here that may tell us why Newcastle have 19 points less this year than they did last year, if anything it tells us that 2011/12's fixture list was a set less conducive to accumulating points.
Opponents Points Per game
If we replace the opponents league position for their points per game number, do we see anything different?
Here we see a slight reverse of what we saw when comparing opponents league positions. When using points per game as the opponents benchmark we se that 2012/13 has a slightly harder set of fixtures, but the difference is barely evident.
Overall, the difference between the opponents points per game in 2012/13 and 2011/12 is that the 2012/13 fixture list has seen Newcastle face opponents who were 0.071 ppg stronger than they were in 2011/12.
Neither method tells us anything clear or conclusive. Yes, there are slight differences between the respective fixture lists, but surely we can't claim that those differences are large enough to cause a negative swing of 19 points.
For Newcastle fans the question is where did it all go wrong? Was last season an outlier, a freak. Is this season an outlier of sorts in terms of key, key personnel being injured for sustained periods? Have tactics, low confidence and dips in players morale all created a perfect storm that have led Newcastle to drop to 16th?
One last graph that I feel highlights one of the problems in this direct fixture analysis, and that is how few of the same opponents exhibit similar points per game form from one years fixture to the next years fixture:
Here are the number of games and the points per game difference between the identical fixtures from seperate years:
0.10 ppg = 8 games 0.20ppg = 12 games 0.40 ppg = 15 games 0.75 ppg = 20 games
In short, the fixtures may be against the same opponent, but that opponent rarely exhibits a similar points per game number from one years fixture to the next years identical fixture. Same team name, different team strength at the time of fixture due to fluctuations in form throughout the season, not to mention how certain teams weaken or strengthen in the offseason.
Thanks for reading

EMS services are not a required essential service in the state of Iowa.
That's something Senator Jeff Danielson of Cedar Falls hopes to shed light on across the state.
Besides his work in the Iowa Senate, he's also a Cedar Falls firefighter.
Saturday, as part of a summit to discuss the future of EMS, he toured the Dubuque fire tower.
It's used for training by emergency responders in Dubuque.
"Especially in rural Iowa, the ability to have the responders in the first place and the overall service to maintain and manage that in respond to some of our places in Iowa, you are getting the second and third 911 calls without anybody showing up.
Danielson says he hopes to improve Iowa's EMS services in the next legislative session.

A Colorado woman was impaled by a light pole after she crashed because she was texting and driving.
Firefighters are investigating a fatal Gaffney house fire Thursday after a mom and daughter did not survive the blaze.
Dispatchers said the fire was reported at a home on Cherokee Avenue across the street from Colonial Fish Camp.
According to the Cherokee County coroner, a 12-year-old boy, two grandparents, a woman and her daughter lived in the one-story home.
Coroner Dennis Fowler identified the victims as Evelyn Rodriguez, 43, and Lanette Lara, 11.
Fowler said Rodriguez's 12-year-old son Carlus Lara was asleep on a sofa when his mother woke him up about 4:30 a.m. and told him to run outside because the house was on fire. Fowler said the two ran out the back door but Rodriguez went back inside to get Lanette, who was asleep at the front of the home.
Lara told Fowler he went back inside to yell for his grandparents, 71-year-old Carlus Rodriguez and 67-year-old Eriberta Tarsee, to get up and out too.
When his mom and sister did not come out, Fowler said the boy went to the front bedroom window where his mom and sister slept and tried to break it to get them out, but the smoke got heavier and the heat was too much so he had to back away, only grabbing some clothes that were just inside.
Fowler said the boy was taken to the hospital with minor scratches and his grandparents were admitted after the fire.
Witnesses at the scene also reported seeing a neighbor trying to help the family get out of the fire.
The neighbor was Robert Teague who told FOX Carolina he was on the way to the store when he saw smoke. Teague said he went to the back door and got it open, but could not make it very far in. He said he then went to the front door to help people out.
Firefighters said they do not yet know the cause of the fire but ruled out that the case was heat-source related and are working to see if it was electrical. They said the family did not have smoke detectors in the home.
Fowler said Evelyn Rodriguez and her daughter died from smoke inhalation and thermal burns. He said they were overcome by the smoke from the fire before it got to them.
The City Of Gaffney Fire Department, State Law Enforcement Division and Federal Alcohol, Tobacco and Firearms and the coroner's office are investigating the fatal blaze.

Police are looking for a guy with a serious foot fetish. A woman was minding her own business when the attacker came up to her, dropped to the floor and sunk his teeth into her foot.
Many shoppers don't know what to make of Monday night's unexpected encounter.
"No, I can't imagine that at all. It's really creepy, " said Target shopper Betty Frost.
Phoenix police say a 23-year-old woman was picking up a few things at Target near 27th Avenue and the Loop 101 when she noticed someone following her.
"After a while, he came towards her, fell to the ground and actually bit her foot," said Phoenix police spokesman Sgt. Tommy Thompson.
Once he had a hold of it, investigators say this brazen biter didn't want to let go. The man chomped down so hard he broke skin. The woman actually had to kick the suspect to get him to let go.
Police describe the man as Asian, about 6'1" tall and weighs about 150 pounds. Investigators say after the assault, the suspect took off, never saying a word.

DERRY — There was lots of excitement on and off the football field at Pinkerton Friday night, when the Astros played their first-ever night game.
The school marching band got into the act — and onto the field — at halftime.
Cheerleaders, too, shared their excitement with the crowd.
The night lights were financed through the Academy's "Campaign for Excellence" fundraising drive, now in its 20th year. The estimated cost was $150,000.

It's not often that we hear of galleries with supermodels for assistant directors. But then again, the Hole isn't an ordinary gallery. So when it was announced that May Andersen, the Hole's assistant director, would appear on the cover of the May 2012 Playboy, and that the gallery would be hosting a signing tomorrow evening at the bookstore adjacent to the gallery, the news struck us as both odd and alluring.
The writer, Chris Tennant, visited Ms. Andersen at the gallery. "As she guides us through the space," Mr. Tennant says, "identifying and describing in detail each piece we pass, it's clear she knows what she's talking about. In fact, it turns out she works at the gallery full time. As in 'May Andersen is an assistant director at one of New York's most respected avant-garde galleries.'" But even Playboy questions it. "We have to ask, What the hell is she doing here?" The article explains:
By now May has arranged herself on a bench in front of a life-size Barry McGee sculpture of a graffiti artist perched precariously atop a trash can, mid-tag. Her black micro-miniskirt, snug angora sweater and vertically striped garter-belted stockings make it hard to maintain eye contact.
'Basically, I'm 29 now, which is old in model years, and around the time I started thinking about what I wanted to do next, this opportunity came up,' she says softly.
The rest of the spread is Ms. Andersen posed coyly around a pool of a home atop a hill in Palm Springs with a great view, interspersed with some snapshots from her modeling days. We have to ask, What is she doing as the subject of a gallery magazine-signing?
"I think this is the only time that any member of the art world has ever been on the cover of Playboy," Ms. Andersen told The Observer. "I wanted people to know the gallery is behind me. Also, we have a fantastic show up, 'Giverny,' and this is a way to reach a broader audience. We feel that everyone should know about art. This way we'll get some people into the gallery who like Playboy."
This event isn't really that out of bounds for the anything-goes vibe at the Hole, which regularly hosts fashion shows, music concerts and one-off creative events like a summer party with an artist-designed bounce-house in the Hamptons. And it's not the first time we've had nudity at book signings in galleries. Just last month, artist Rob Pruitt got naked and signed some of his books at Karma.
Mr. Pruitt's stunt, while done to gain attention, seemed in line with the artist's tongue-in-cheek aesthetic—you can see Mr. Pruitt's chrome sculpture of Andy Warhol, The Andy Monument, in Union Square right now. And after Warhol, we are now accustomed to viewing artists as celebrities.
In the case of Ms. Andersen's Playboy signing, the stunt seems to be seeking to do the opposite. The magazine signing in the gallery store seems aimed to legitimize as art the act of posing nude. And though this is in line with Playboy's long-held mission of raising the nude body to the level of a work of art, we're not sure how this event furthers the purposes of the gallery or honors Ms. Andersen's virtues as a gallerist—it may even erode that slightly. But maybe not.
The gallery gets mainstream exposure and cool factor by virtue of being connected with a celebrity. Ms. Anderson, for her part, elevates herself from model to member of the art world. Playboy also gains from being connected with high art.
As a bystander it feels outré to say that this is anything but a brilliant marketing move in which each party is capitalizing on a little borrowed currency, especially with Playboy.com being the chief sponsor of the current show at the Hole, the aforementioned "Giverny," by E.V. Day and Kembra Pfahler. And if the goal is to sell more magazines and sell more art, they'll probably be doing a little of both.
While we enjoyed having a reason to pick up a copy of Playboy off the stand and write it off as research, we think the closing words of the Playboy article say it all: "Remember, gents: It's never too late to start collecting."
[...] Supermodel May Anderson's emergence in the art world doesn't only consist of dating Julian Schnabel—she's also working as the assistant director of the Hole gallery. (Gallerist NY) [...]

Labour 'open to railway reforms'
4:36am Sunday 4th May 2014 in National News © Press Association 2014
Labour would impose minimum alcohol pricing and end sports sponsorship by drinks firms, a report said
Labour leader Ed Miliband refused to rule out bringing the railways back into public ownership, saying the party was "looking at all the options".
He has come under pressure from former deputy prime minister Lord Prescott and more than 30 would-be Labour MPs to commit to renationalising the industry.
Mr Miliband said Labour would not return to the old days of British Rail but the current system was flawed.
He has been urged to consider the success of East Coast since it was taken back into public ownership, with Lord Prescott suggesting the existing franchise deals should simply be allowed to lapse.
The Labour leader told BBC1's Andrew Marr Show: " We are looking at all the options on the railways. We are not going to go back to old-style British Rail."
He said Labour would be "pragmatic" and "we have got to recognise that the system at the moment has flaws in it".
"Passengers are paying high fares in this country and we are paying big subsidies from the taxpayer."
East Coast was in public hands but the Government was "dogmatically" privatising it, he said.
"I want to see value for money for the taxpayer. I am never going to write a blank cheque and I am not going back to the past, but we are looking at the different options."
He added: "There is a balance to be struck here because there are some benefits you can have sometimes from competition and we are not gong back to the old monolithic model that was British Rail.
"But we do need to look at how we can have a coherent system."
The call for renationalisation from prospective parliamentary candidates came in a letter to The Observer.
They said: "Train companies walk away with hundreds of millions of pounds every year, despite running monopoly services and benefiting from £4 billion of public investment in the rail network every year.
"These profits are even helping keep down rail fares on the continent as many of Britain's rail services are run by subsidiaries of the state railways of France, Germany and the Netherlands.
"Yet the not-for-private-profit model that works so well on the East Coast line has shown how there is a better way to run Britain's rail services. As well as making over £1 billion of franchise payments to government, East Coast reinvests all of its further profit to benefit passengers.
"A commitment to extend this successful model to the rest of the rail network, as existing contracts come to an end, would mean that hundreds of millions currently lost in private profit would be available to fully fund a bold offer on rail fares."
The demand was echoed by Lord Prescott, who used his Sunday Mirror column to say Mr Miliband should announce the renationalisation at the autumn party conference.
He said: "Ed Miliband says he wants to look at innovative ways of running our railway system. Well, 19 of these 25 railway franchises will have to be renegotiated over the next five years. So let each one lapse and pull them back into public ownership."
Meanwhile the party stressed that a document setting out proposals for tough restrictions on the sale and advertising of alcohol, unhealthy food and tobacco was not official Labour policy.
The plan would end sports sponsorship by drinks firms and impose minimum alcohol pricing in an effort to cut the impact of drinking on Britons' health.
There would also be new laws to curb the amount of sugar, fat and salt in food aimed at children, and a ban on advertising unhealthy products on TV before the 9pm watershed.
The Mail on Sunday reported that the plans are contained in a report to the "society" sub-group of the shadow cabinet.
A Labour spokesman said the leaked paper "represents a wide range of options" but was not official party policy.
"Improving public health is crucial to people's quality of life. That's why we've rightly pressed the Government to end their opposition to plain cigarette packaging," the spokesman said.
"This paper represents a wide range of options and not Labour party policy."
Rail, Maritime and Transport (RMT) union acting general secretary Mick Cash said: " It's about time Labour woke up to the fact that bringing the railways into public ownership is both popular and cost effective and would free up the money we need to invest in staffing and capacity to modernise the network.
"It remains a disgrace that the last Labour government allowed the private profiteering and exploitation on our railways to continue unchecked and it's about time the party endorsed RMT's programme to bring the entire system under public control, free from the racketeering and greed of the past two decades."
Shadow business secretary Chuka Umunna said: "I don't think we should be dogmatic or closed in either direction, public or private. The question is what works."
He told BBC Radio 5 Live's Pienaar's Politics: "I'm pragmatic and I think what matters is what gives people a good deal, good service and doesn't rip them off.
"We are not in the business of going back to old British Rail-style nationalisation but there is no denying how successful the East Coast main line has been."
He said a Labour plan to ban alcohol sponsorship of sports events was "highly unlikely" but played down reports of a rift with shadow health secretary Andy Burnham about the proposals.
He said: " Andy's approach, and I think it is absolutely the right one, is how can we actually help people to lead more healthy lives?"
But he added: "We are not in the business of coming at people with a stick and forcing people to do things."
Martin Griffiths, chairman of industry body the Rail Delivery Group, said: "It is wrong to blame private train companies for above-inflation increases in the average cost of commuter fares.
"The annual increase has nothing to do with who operates services and everything to do with government policy.
"Successive governments instructed operators to increase the average price of commuter fares in real terms every year from 2004 to last year. This has meant passengers, rather than taxpayers, have been paying a greater share of the cost of running the railway.
"Commuter fares were held down in line with inflation by the Government this year. Train companies supported that decision and government, whatever party is in power, is free to decide what happens in future years.
"Holding up publicly-run East Coast as a model of how to run a better railway is a myth that is equally wrong. Over the last 20 years, Britain's railway has been transformed into the pre-eminent network in Europe.
"Renationalisation would be bad for passengers, taxpayers and the country as a whole. Ed Miliband is on the right track when he says that he is not going back to old-style British Rail."
The Conservatives claimed renationalisation would add £10 billion to the deficit.
Tory former minister Bob Neill said the policy was " something which would put up the deficit and which the unions have been demanding for years".
He added: "Once again Ed Miliband has shown he is too weak to stand up for the people of Britain and face-down his union paymasters."

Here we go again nanny state telling us what to do again. Ed Milliband is a complete buffoon with poor communication skills and zero presence, and he thinks he has the right to ensure the 95% of people who drink sensibly have to pay more for the privilege because of a few idiots???

For the second-straight year, the Texas Rangers are in the World Series, this time earning the right to play for the title with a 15-5 win over the Detroit Tigers in Game 6 of the ALCS. Making it to the World Series is hard enough, but doing so in back-to-back years is always a feat, and the Rangers now have a chance to do what they couldn't last year by winning it all.
After the game, the talk in the Texas clubhouse centered on the motivation heading into the season, and the desire to make it back to the World Series.
"As soon as the season began, we were hungry, we were hungry to get back," Rangers shortstop Elvis Andrus said.
But getting back wasn't just the goal, Michael Young said. As expected, the Rangers' focus was on what's next, and the biggest trophy of them all.
"This a great trophy, we're real proud of it," Young said. "But we're looking forward to the one with all the flags on it. ... Happy, but not satisfied."
Ron Washington echoed Young's sentiments, praising his team's focus and drive.
"We wanted to get to the World Series. But the bottom line is getting to the World Series and winning it. We feel pretty confident about ourselves," manager Ron Washington said. "More than anything else, the commitment they made in November after San Francisco sent us home, they held true to it."
The Rangers will have to wait to learn who they'll face as the St. Louis Cardinals and Milwaukee Brewers are still battling in the NLCS. St. Louis holds a 3-2 series lead and can close it out in Milwaukee on Sunday.
For more on the Rangers' win, check out the rest of the Baseball Nation live-blog and Grant Brisbee's recap.

CLOVER — Seeking to break into the win column in region play, the Clover High School football team travels to Rock Hill Friday to face the Bearcats.
Kickoff time for the Region 3-AAAA game is 7:30 p.m. at District Three Stadium.
"Rock Hill is extremely athletic and talented," Clover coach Chad Smith said.
Smith would like to see the Blue Eagles shift the double-wing attack into high gear and keep the Bearcat offense off the field for a significant period of time.
The Bearcats were within striking distance of a top-10 ranked York team in the fourth quarter of last Friday's game, but the Cougars were able to expand the lead down the stretch, prevailing 50-26.
The Blue Eagles will seekto rebound from Friday's 28-12 home loss to region foe Nation Ford.
Trailing 13-0 in the second quarter, the Blue Eagles threatened to slice the lead to single digits in a drive that began at Clover's 25. The Blue Eagles made it within 4 yards of the end zone, but a fourth-down pass fell incomplete as the drive stalled and Nation Ford held onto its lead.
"When we learn to play physical and smart, we will be a very good football team," said Smith. "We're playing physical. We need to play smart. We need to overcome adversity."
The Blue Eagles scored two touchdowns in the fourth quarter. Scott Jackson scored on a quarterback sneak from a yard out and Galant had a 4-yard rushing TD.
Ladarius Adams finished the game with 107 rushing yards on 27 carries and Chase Galant rushed for 36 yards on 12 carries.
Smith said a key to success is for the Blue Eagles to dictate the pace offensively, which is what the double-wing scheme is all about.
Owen Jefferies, a mainstay in the trenches on both sides of the ball, talked about the responsibilities of playing tight end.
"Playing tight end means carrying out the blocking assignments expected of the position," he said. "Blocking is crucial to tight end play. If I catch a pass, that's a bonus."
Jefferies said another key to success is to stay in shape. "We have to make sure we don't get winded out during the game," he said.
Blue Eagle offensive lineman Barrett Courtwright said progress is being made along the offensive front.
"We have to continue to work hard at practice, focus on technique, stay low, do all the right things," said Courtwright. "Our goals remain the same. The team knows the wins will come. Our goal always is to win."

Fall 2008
Morgan County — Pam Mann writes that her son Robbie, who is enrolled in a distance-learning high school program, wanted to supplement his home studies with three classes at the local high school (Spanish II, Biology, and Chorus). Because the class times were hours apart, he wanted to fill in the time between classes with two other classes. The high school's policy, detailed in its handbook, is that taking six classes makes a student full-time, so the Manns thought Robbie could sign up for five classes and retain his homeschool status.
County Attendance Director Linda McGraw would not approve Robbie's class schedule. It was her understanding that homeschool students were limited to one class at the local school. The law reads:
Any child receiving home instruction may upon approval of the county board exercise the option to attend any class offered by the county board as the person or persons providing home instruction may consider appropriate subject to normal registration and attendance requirements.
Ms. McGraw consulted the state Dept. of Education, which said that each county determines how many classes a homeschool student can take.
The Morgan County School Board then decided that part-time students can take no more than three classes.
Ms. McGraw explained that if Robbie wanted to take five classes, he must register as a full-time student, and he will need an exemption from the school board to take fewer than a full day's worth of classes.
In an appeal to Morgan Co. Schools Superintendent David Banks, Pam requested an exemption for her son, explaining that since he is not a full-time student and will not be graduating from the high school, he shouldn't be subject to full-time requirements. The request was denied, so Robbie dropped two of the classes and is auditing one.
Fall 2006
Morgan County — WVHEA Board member Pam Mann reported that the county's new homeschool coordinator was enacting new homeschool policies that were not supported by the law. The coordinator a) requested the type of assessment homeschool families planned to use; b) would not accept portfolio evaluations from teachers without WV certification; and c) refused to accept portfolio evaluations from homeschool parents who are certified teachers. The coordinator developed these new policies after consulting with the WVDE's Karen Larry.
The coordinator met with a group of county homeschoolers in early September to discuss the new policies and during the discussion agreed to accept evaluations from teachers certified out of state, provided the evaluators supplied the information necessary to verify their certification.
In an email to WVHEA, Karen Larry supported the county coordinator's interpretation of the law. WVHEA responded, explaining our understanding of the law and promising to inform the evaluators it knows of regarding the portfolio assessment requirements.
Meanwhile, Morgan County homeschool families plan to continue to monitor the situation.

Republican from Georgia
Saxby Chambliss, a Republican, is a United States senator from Georgia
Recent statements involving Saxby Chambliss
"Sens. Isakson's, Chambliss' Votes Against Unemployment Insurance Were Votes to Kill Nearly 6,000 Georgia Jobs."
"The recidivism rate is nearly 29 percent and has been climbing steadily since detainees began being released from Guantanamo."
The U.S. Department of Defense spends $80 million a year on prostate cancer research, $25 million a year on ovarian cancer research and $150 million a year on breast cancer research.
With Obamacare, "we're fixing to get hit with the biggest entitlement program the American taxpayers have ever seen."
An average of seven children in America are killed by guns every day.
Recent stories featuring Saxby Chambliss
A look at how Saxby Chambliss has done on the Truth-O-Meter:
Saxby Chambliss, Georgia's senior U.S. senator, surprised the political world Friday when he announced he's not running for a third term in 2014, despite recent claims he was ready to take on any and all challengers.
The decision has several politicians and officeholders considering whether to run for the seat. In the meantime, PolitiFact Georgia thought we'd look back at how Chambliss has fared on our Truth-O-Meter.
Call the doctor! Truthiness in critical condition :
Truthiness was in critical condition at PolitiFact Georgia last week.
Our team published three fact checks in a row on health care. The first from presidential hopeful Herman Cain on CT scans flat-lined. One by U.S. Sen. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia on Internal Revenue Service agents and the health care overhaul was DOA.
Another by U.S. Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius about hospital care survived and is in good condition.
Even on issues outside of health care, truthiness looked at least a little bit puny. A claim by Donald Trump that the U.S. no longer builds bridges needed major surgery, as did a statement by MARTA's chairman that the transit system is getting safer.

PolitiFact Georgia goes for broke on the national debt:
Thanks to recent battles over federal spending, the Truth-O-Meter hit a jackpot of claims that need checking.
U.S. Sens. Saxby Chambliss of Georgia and Mark Warner of Virginia barnstormed the Atlanta area Monday to drum up support for reducing the national debt, so PolitiFact Georgia went for broke. We greeted them with rapid-fire fact checks.
The budget hawks were mostly on the money. Warner won a True on Social Security data. Chambliss scored a Mostly True on debt growth figures and a Half True on how tax cuts impact tax revenue.
MoveOn.org and U.S. Rep. Paul Broun of Athens shortchanged us on the facts. Both earned False rulings on the budget debate.

To make your own cookie shapes, draw a simple Christmas-tree or ornament shape onto a manila folder, and cut it out. Place the cutout on rolled-out cookie dough, and cut around it with the tip of a paring knife. Alternatively, you can cut out cookies with cookie cutters (wide shapes work best). Use the knife tip to cut out the centers of the cookies.

- 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface
- 1/4 teaspoon coarse salt
- 1/2 teaspoon baking powder
- 1/2 cup (1 stick) unsalted butter
- 1 cup sugar
- 1 large egg
- 1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
- 7 ounces assorted clear colored hard candies, such as Jolly Rancher, colors separated and finely chopped (about 30)
Cook's Note
Step 1
Sift together flour, salt, and baking powder into a large bowl; set aside.
Step 2
Put butter and sugar in the bowl of an electric mixer fitted with the paddle attachment; mix on medium speed until pale and fluffy, about 3 minutes. Add egg; mix until smooth, 1 minute. Reduce speed to low. Add flour mixture, and mix until combined. Stir in vanilla.Wrap dough in plastic, and refrigerate until cold, about 45 minutes.
Step 3
Preheat oven to 325 degrees, with racks in upper and lower thirds. Roll out chilled dough on a well-floured surface to a little more than 1/8 inch thick. Cut out shapes using a 5-inch tree-shape cookie cutter. Using a metal spatula, space 2 inches apart on baking sheets lined with parchment paper. Using the tip of a paring knife, make a triangular cutout in center of each cookie for candy filling. Reroll scraps, and cut.
Step 4
Sprinkle candy in a single layer in hole of each cookie, avoiding edges of triangle. Refrigerate until dough is firm, about 15 minutes.
Step 5
Bake cookies until candy has melted and completely filled cutout and cookie edges are just starting to turn pale golden brown, 11 to 12 minutes. Do not let the cookies brown, or the candy centers may become bubbly. Let cool completely on sheets on wire racks. Use a metal spatula to remove cookies from parchment.

TIP FOR CRUSHING CANDY: keep candy in the wrapper
careebeary17 Feb, 2010
LOVE these cookies! I tried making them by just putting a whole Jolly Rancher in the middle without breaking it up, and it worked great and saved me tons of time. These are so delicious - the sugar cookie is the best I've ever eaten and can even stand up on it's own - without the candy in the middle!

I loved this recipe! I had so musch fun and they turned out beautifully. Thanks Martha!!
Dimitix9 Dec, 2009
Just wondering if you can freeze these, and if its even a good idea...do they break/get rock hard?
msamandaskids5 Dec, 2009
These were simply AMAZING! The kids (and adults alike) LOVED them! The dough was easy to work with and the concept was simple and straight forward...I think the most "difficult" part was chopping up the candy but I had a hand food chopper and it made short work of the task! Even my husband enjoyed helping make these. We mixed the colors in the center to make really unique "windows"!
TeresaThurin15 Feb, 2009
Love this recipe! Work out great for me with using the parchment paper (not wax paper.)
Neenie3119 Dec, 2008
EASY!? Who thinks these were easy!/ I am no chef or culinary expert but I think of myself as a great baker and these were not easy to make. The dough was great and easy to work with but the candy in the middle was the biggest pain. Who has time to put all the candy in the middle AND who can get it not to touch the sides! Definetly not trying this one again.
bigcountrysgal19 Dec, 2008
These were easy...... I didnt need parchment paper either. Just let them cool down in the fridge for two-three minutes and they come right off the Sheet.
I love them. THANKS
stephmartin2816 Dec, 2008
I tried this with a different cookie recipe and I dont recommend! Mine just all spred out and melted together! Defintely use the actual recipe!
annlenhen23 Nov, 2008
I made this cookies and my whole family loved them. They are like a sucker with cookies around it. Double hit with the kids. I used car cookie cutters and used different colored candy pieces together so the stained glass looked tie dyed. Will make again.

If you want good vibrant colors for cookies or cake frostings, dry the powdered colors, they dry darker that what you start with and don't bleed.
sprouts2311 Jul, 2008
These cookies were such a hit that I now use this as my basic sugar cookie recipe, as the dough isn't as dry and crumbly as some others! Definately worth an attempt from even the most cooking challenged.
Clover12 Jan, 2008
Colourful cookies are not found so often, so it was good to get this recipe.
My children and friends enjoyed making them. (Kids are slow to make, so butter tends to melt soon, but it's OK, just for fun. If it get too much melting, we can leave the dough into the fridge for a while.)
tliloia28 Dec, 2007
These cookies are a great activity to do with children. They love smashing the candies and watching them transform into windows.
connie8127 Dec, 2007
I gave these cookies for christmas but they got hard in their containers and I have no idea why?... any help?

Abdominal fat has been linked to meat, egg, and milk consumption. Poultry consumption, in particular, appears linked to an expanding waist circumference (see here and here). On the other hand, plant foods may have slimming effects (as with beans, soy in particular, and nuts) and enhance abdominal fat loss from exercise (as with green tea).

Multiple news outlets are speculating that Florida State linebacker coach Greg Hudson, who is not expected to return to Florida State, could head to Louisiana Tech.
Skip Holtz is the new head coach at Louisiana Tech after being fired by USF. Hudson was Holtz' defensive coordinator at East Carolina, and a very good one, before coming to Tallahassee.
The Louisiana Tech job would be a cushy landing for Hudson, who was rumored to be taking the football operations job vacated by Erik Korem, who left for Kentucky with former Florida State defensive coordinator Mark Stoops and defensive end coach DJ Eliot.

Biggio recalls Hohlfeld's impact
Chronicle reporter important to second baseman's career
HOUSTON -- As he wrapped up his meeting with the media shortly after the Astros retired his uniform number, Craig Biggio paused to mention someone who was very important to him early in his playing career.
Longtime baseball reporter Neil Hohlfeld, who began covering the Astros for the Houston Chronicle in 1979, was the Astros beat writer when Biggio was drafted, and he covered the second baseman through the early parts of his career.
Hohlfeld passed away on July 19 from a heart attack, triggering sadness and sympathy for his family from friends, colleagues and readers who knew him personally or read his work in the Chronicle. A service remembering and celebrating Hohlfeld's life was held at a local church on Saturday, and on Sunday, Biggio sent his best wishes to Hohlfeld's family.
"He was part of that whole regime," Biggio said. "As a writer, he was classy, he was the best. He'd sit and talk to you, and if it was off the record, it was off the record. He always had the respect of the players. He was a great man, and my thoughts and prayers go out to his family."
Hohlfeld covered the Astros from 1979-95, and he remained with the paper until his passing.

On this episode of The Loop, I talk about why a Los Angeles chiropractor has confirmed my distaste for the practice and why his ad is one of the creepiest ever.
I'll also look a bit deeper into some "good" marriage advice from televangelist Pat Robertson and why his knowledge of the incident seems a bit too familiar.
Finally, find out what the worst driver in the world, a scooter and a massive hole has in common.

Dozens of Elgin residents gathered at a local church to pray for the safe return of 15-year-old Gabbiee Swainson and to lift up her mother in strength.
For more than a week, members of Right Direction Church International and the community have been praying for a miracle that the teen will be found.
"We know that He hears us so the more we come together and pray -- God hears us and He will move," said Right Direction member Malinda Brown.
Gabbiee and her mother, Elvia Swainson, have been attending the church for several years.
Dwayne White, her youth pastor, says Gabbiee was about to start playing the drums with the church's youth praise team when she disappeared.
"When I heard the news, it was very shocking that this would happen," White said. "Really concerned about what's going on. Where is Gabbiee?"
Elvia came out to pray Wednesday night. Her story has touched so many, including mothers and fathers who fear the nightmare Gabbiee's family is going through.
"Everyday I get up at 5 o'clock in the morning. I pray. I pray throughout the day. I pray right before I go to bed. Just continuing to pray for Gabbiee to return home safely," Brown said.
Church members have been having prayer vigils nearly every day and there
will be another one Thursday night. They're hoping prayer will
supercede all the rumors that have been circulating and the negative
The developments of Freddie Grant's arrest and the DNA evidence investigators have found are upsetting to the church members, but each day they try to stay encouraged.
"Since August 18, I can say I've been hurt, I've been disappointed, but I'm reminded -- not even in the midst of my emotions -- how I feel, I go back to the word of God. There's nothing too hard for God," White said.
White says the thoughts of not finding Gabbiee alive are pushed out by prayer.
"It has possibly crossed my mind, but I say, 'God, I'm not doubting you. You can bring her back.'" said White.

Re: Proposed New Federal Trade Commission Powers
Congress is on the verge of giving the Federal Trade Commission sweeping new powers making it much easier to enact industry-wide rules limiting advertising. This would give the agency dramatically increased power over advertising. It is very important that advertising professionals contact their Senators and urge them not to change the FTC's rulemaking procedures.
Language buried in the House-passed version of financial regulation reform (H.R. 4173) would repeal safeguards that have governed FTC rulemaking for more than three decades. Under current law, before enacting industry-wide rules, the commission must
hold hearings on the proposed rules,
prepare a statement of basis and purpose including the economic impact of a rule, and
identify an actual harm that a proposed rule is designed to address (show prevalence).
The House bill would authorize the FTC to issue rules by simply publishing them in the Federal Register, wait 60 days for comments, and then issue a final rule. The most serious proposed change would require a court to determine that the FTC was arbitrary or capricious or abused its discretion before the court could overturn a rule, which is an almost impossible standard to meet if challenging a rule. Today courts may send a rule back to the FTC if the rulemaking record lacks substantial evidence to uphold the rule.
The danger is very real. In December, the FTC and three other agencies (CDC, FDA and USDA) announced new "voluntary" federal guidelines dictating which foods may be advertised to children and youths under 18 years of age. For the first time, the proposal raises the age of who is a child from someone under 12 to somebody under 18 years of age. The standards are so strict they would virtually ban the advertising of many familiar products including yogurt, vegetable soup, peanut butter and most breakfast cereals. All media would be subject to the ban, including television and radio, newspapers and magazine, outdoor and online. Because of the age range, the "ban" would extend to advertising that supports more than 1,700 television programs.
While the standards were issued as "voluntary," if the new rulemaking procedures passed, the FTC could very easily and quickly make them mandatory.
The FTC has been down this road before. In 1978 it proposed the "Kid Vid" rule, which would have banned advertising of many cereals to children in an attempt to reduce dental cavities. After three contentious years – and enormous Congressional backlash – the FTC withdrew the rule. The aftermath of the experience seriously debilitated the agency for two more decades. The proposal recommended by the four federal agencies would be "Kid Vid" on steroids.
It is urgent that you contact your United States Senators. The Senate Banking Committee passed the financial reform legislation and sent it to the full Senate. The FTC provisions are being considered in the Commerce Committee. It is very important that you contact your Senators and tell them that you oppose the new authority given to the FTC in the House financial regulatory reform bill and you oppose adding that authority to the Senate bill. It is particularly important that you contact your Senator if he or she sits on the Commerce Committee (see list below). All Senators can be reached through links on the U.S. Senate web page at http://www.senate.gov/.
Thank you for your assistance on this urgent matter.

Rajasthani cooking has been influenced by the war-like lifestyle of its inhabitants and the ingredients available in this region. Food that will last for several days and that can be eaten without heating was preferred, more out of necessity than choice. Crispy, flaky and superbly flavoured deep fried 'mathris' or 'mathis' have probably emerged from this style of cooking. This popular 'any time' snack can be stored for several days. Mathris are eaten with a spicy mango or lemon pickle and are often served with tea. Sometimes they even form part of an easy breakfast with milk. Large mathris - plain or stuffed - are pinched on their surface with floral and other intricate designs and they are a 'must' for all occasions including marriages, poojas etc. Rajasthanis are fond of storing large jars of mathris which they can munch at any time of the day.

Back to Montana climbs the face just to the left of Holy Wars. The crux moves are right off the deck, and the first bolt is about 15 feet up, so you may want to use a clip-stick. Begin in a sinker 2 finger pocket with the right hand and a shallow 2 finger pocket with the left, lock off and stretch out to reach another sinker with the right (good clipping pocket). Move past the first bolt (second crux) to a series of buckets leading to a ledge. It's run-out to the fourth bolt and there is an opportunity to place a TCU, but the climbing is quite a bit easier. Find the final crux moves as you head up to the newly installed 1/2" anchors.
