Two challenges given when SF had no Timeouts lol
Two challenges given when SF had no Timeouts lol
13-24 Vikings.....wow, what happened San Fran?
Alex smith showed again why he's an average QB at best.
Man this is great.. I'd say the hottest teams in NFC now have to be the giants, cards and falcons.. Sf canard gb as well
Football has been very, very good to us.
Even though 2013 was a losing season, we can console ourselves with this fact-
# of Super Bowl victories since 1985:
1-Chicago, St. Louis, Tampa Bay, Indianapolis, New Orleans, Seattle
2-Washington, Green Bay, Denver, Pittsburgh, Baltimore
3-San Francisco, Dallas, New England
4-New York Giants!!!!!
Let's make it 5 in 2014 !!!
***Stat provided by "Schloss22"***
Lots of parity this year. A bunch of 2-1 or 1-2 teams, 3 undefeated teams and only two 0-3 teams.
One day, not today, not tomorrow, not this season, probably not next season either but one day, you and I are gonna wake up and suddenly we're gonna be like every other team in every other sport where winning is everything and nothing else matters. And when that day comes, well thats, thats when we'll honor them--Jack Lengyel Marshall University

Commencement to be held May 11
Former actress and Miramax Films story editor Deborah Goodrich Royce will be addressing about 175 graduates at Lake Erie College's 149th annual commencement ceremony on May 11 at 11 a.m. in the Auxiliary Gym of the Jerome T. Osborne Family Athletic & Wellness Center.
Royce graduated summa cum laude from Lake Erie College in 1980 with a bachelor of arts degree in foreign languages and a minor in dance. After graduation, she worked for ten years as an actress in film and television.
She began her acting career as Silver Kane, sister of the legendary Erica Kane, on the long running ABC soap opera, "All My Children." In the 1980s, Royce starred in several feature films such as, "April Fool's Day" and "Just One of the Guys," television movies such as, "Return to Peyton Place," "The Deliberate Stranger" and "Liberace" and television series such as "St. Elsewhere," "Beverly Hills 90210" and "Hotel."
After the birth of her daughters, Royce moved behind the scenes to work at Miramax Films as a story editor. At Miramax, she worked on the development of such films as, "Emma," "Chicago" and "The English Patient." With a writing partner, Royce won a grant from the Massachusetts Arts Council in 2002 to develop and workshop an original screenplay.
In 2003, Royce and her husband Chuck co-founded and restored the Avon Theatre Film Center, a 1939 landmark in Stamford, Conn., dedicated to classic and independent films, which they operate as a not-for-profit cinema. The Royce's host an ongoing series of visiting film luminaries at the Avon. Directors and writers such as Robert Altman, Peter Bogdonavich and Nora Ephron and actors such as Jane Fonda, Jane Seymour and Gene Wilder, have all come to the Avon to show their films and talk about their work.
Royce serves on the board of Literacy Volunteers of Stamford/Greenwich, where she also taught writing, and the YWCA of Greenwich, where she co-founded the Old Bags Luncheon, a record-breaking fundraiser for their Domestic Abuse Services. Royce and her husband are also actively involved in the restoration of numerous buildings and "Main Street" revitalization projects in Tannersville, N.Y., and Westerly, R.I.
Tickets are required for admittance into the commencement ceremony. A free, informal reception will immediately follow commencement in the Holden Center where graduates and their guests are invited to interact with fellow graduates, faculty and staff.

vacation rental description
Catch the sunrise to start your day and the sunset late in the evening
from multiple furnished decks overlooking Big Platte Lake - dazzling
water views from the living room, dining room, and kitchen.
Our private sandy beach is bathed by crystal clear water. It is an
ideal water-playground for children because of an extensive shallow
area (300 feet); perfect for frolicking, wading, frisbee, and
floating, with deeper water farther out for swimming, kayaking,
jet-skiing, water-skiing, fishing, and canoeing. A Soft, mint-leaf
lawn for volleyball or other barefoot adventures waits at the
shoreline, and a flower-garden with a dizzying assortment of fragrant
lillies separates the cottage from the guest house.
Our 500-foot driveway is lined with magnificent birch, maple and oak
trees, lending a feeling of quiet seclusion to the property. The
Sleeping Bear Dunes National Lakeshore can be reached in less than
five minutes by foot - we are just outside the edge of the park. Some
of the most beautiful beaches on Lake Michigan are just a five minute
drive (ten minute bike ride) from the house. Alternatively, you could
board our canoe or kayaks on our private beach, wind your way down the
Platte River, and emerge two glorious hours later in the splendor of
Lake Michigan.
Both the cottage and guest house were custom built in the mid-1990's.
The design concept was to allow light reflecting off of the lake to
fill the structures with natural light. Open floorplans, skylights and
huge windows make artificial lighting completely unnecessary during
daylight hours. On clear, moon-lit nights, the glitter from Platte
Lake throws an ethereal blue light throughout the cottage. The cottage
living room, dining area, and kitchen are one open area, making it
possible for big families to spread out while still inhabiting the
same space. The guest house interior is also one open space with a
sleeping area, a sitting area, and a TV-nook.
Sleeping arrangements are flexible. The bedroom in the cottage has a Crate & Barrel
queen bed with a high-end mattress; the sofabed in the cottage living-room is an American Leather Comfort Sleeper, widely regarded the most comfortable sofa bed on the market. It is a true queen and sleeps two
adults comfortably; the guest house has a new Crate & Barrel queen bed; for larger groups, there are four self-inflating Aerobed
mattresses which can be put pretty much anywhere
(indoors). These are not camping mattresses; they are equivalent in
size and comfort to a twin mattress. 100% Egyptian Cotton Linens are provided for all of the beds and Aerobeds.
cottage rental amenities
Both the cottage and guest house are equipped with state-of-the-art, ultra efficient and astonishingly quiet air-conditioning systems. Beautifully furnished, Grand Piano, High-speed Wireless internet in and around the house, including the furnished decks and beachfront; Cordless
Phone, Cable TV (36 inch Flat-Screen in Cottage, new 40-inch Samsung LCD TV in

The very first thing is to buy a length of 2"x 3/8"thick flat-stock. A pair of tie-downs requires 43" of material. Each piece is cut at 21 1/2" long. Here's the first pic of a batch all cut with the sharp edges removed by the drum/disc sander.
The next step is to place each piece onto the turn table. These tie-downs use an 1-5/8" diameter curve to form the shape. I built the "ELMER-2" with a center pivot shaft of 1-3/16", which is what the steps use for the top hook. This way all that needs to be done to bend the tie-downs is drop this piece of pipe over the center shaft to create the 1-5/8" bend. I also have another special made bracket that allows a short bite onto the material.
The next step is to bend each piece around till they reach the "orange" paint line drawn on the turn-table. This line stops each piece at the 90 degree bend needed.
Here's all the pieces with the bend on the ends.
Now I slide each piece through until they line up with the orange painted curve on the turn-table. If you're careful to place each piece exactly at the same spot, all the bends match near perfect.
Each piece is bent completely around the center post till it touches itself.
This next step is for you drspiff :shock: Soon as you release the pressure and back the table up slightly, you remove the top brace. This brace is needed because of the muscle needed to bend this thick material around the tight diameter. Then you simply remove the tie-down.
Here's 8 sets ready for welding.
Each tie-down is squeezed tight together and welded. Then I have a template that clamps on each piece to pilot drill the spacing for the implement bolts. A heavy chamfer is added and the extra material cut off the end to get things exact.
These used to be the hardest product to bend, and after you were finished, you called it a day. Now with the "Elmer 2", these are fun
Here's an under shot of the "Elmer 2" showing the blue hydraulic motor driving the big sprocket.

Tony Nominee Euan Morton Stars in TheatreWorks Musical Premiere, Being Earnest, Beginning April 3
By Adam Hetrick
Tony and Olivier Award nominee Euan Morton, Hayden Tee and Maureen McVerry star in the TheatreWorks world-premiere production of Being Earnest, the new musical by Tony Award nominee Paul Gordon and Emmy nominee Jay Gruska, which begins performances April 3 in Mountain View, CA.
TheatreWorks artistic director Robert Kelley stages the production that will officially open April 6 for a run through April 28. It has book, music and lyrics by Gordon (Emma, Daddy Long Legs, Jane Eyre) and music by Gruska.
Morton (Taboo, Sondheim on Sondheim) plays Algernon Moncrieff, with Tee (Les Misérables) as Jack Worthing and McVerry as Lady Bracknell. The cast also features Riley Krull as Cecily Cardew, Diana Torres Koss as Miss Prism, Mindy Lym as Gwendolyn Fairfax and Brian Herndon as Dr. Chausable and Lane.
Here's how the creators bill the new musical: "In the midst of a London buzzing with mod fashion, new music, and evolving ideas of morality, handsome, witty young friends Jack Worthing and Algernon Moncrieff each find themselves adopting the pseudonym 'Ernest' for various complicated reasons. When the two women they court both confess to loving the name as much as the man, and all four unexpectedly meet at Worthing's country home under the disapproving eye of Lady Bracknell, one of theatre's most sharp-tongued dowagers, a wild comedy of romance and mistaken identities ensues. Infused with Paul Gordon and Jay Gruska's infectious score, new musical Being Earnest maintains all the elements of Oscar Wilde's much-loved comedy – including the infamous handbag – while adding a modern twist and the signature charm TheatreWorks audiences have grown to expect from Gordon's work."
Being Earnest has musical direction by William Liberatore, scenic design by Joe Ragey, costume design by Fumiko Bielefeldt, lighting design by Steven B. Mannshardt and sound design by Jeffrey Mockus.

The International Communications Industries Association, Inc.® (ICIA®) is very happy to announce that Gary V. Kayye, CTS, was presented the ICIA Educator of the Year Award and Kim Milliken was lauded with the Fred Dixon Service in Education Award at ICIA's Council and Committee Breakfast on Thursday, June 5 at InfoComm 2003.
Educator of the Year Award: Gary V. Kayye, CTS
"ICIA is very pleased to be able to recognize Gary Kayye for his achievements and his contributions to the pro-AV communications and systems industry," commented Randal A. Lemke, Ph.D., ICIA's executive director. "When I started at ICIA as the vice president of education, Gary served on the Professional Education and Training Committee (PETC) and was a fixture in our education programs. He has contributed to all of our programs – seminars at InfoComm, the Institute for Professional Development, our advanced onsite courses and our Academy Online. He has done it all and we want to recognize him for doing so."
Gary Kayye graduated with a degree in journalism and marketing from the University of North Carolina and served as VP of marking and sales for two of the largest audiovisual manufacturers in the world (AMX and Extron). In addition to leading sales and marketing efforts, he also directed the companies' education and training programs for the pro-AV systems integration market.
"Gary's biggest impact from the standpoint of PETC was to set the stage for opening up membership to anyone – before it was a very closed group," noted PETC chair Mike Weems, CTS, MCP, of InFocus Corporation. "He made it possible to establish new initiatives in curriculum revision, certification changes and new offerings at InfoComm."
In 1998, Kayye founded Kayye Consulting, Inc. with his partner Jody Thomas--a marketing consulting and training development firm. In addition to being a contributing editor for his own pro-AV insider e-newsletter, rAVe (www.kayyerave.com), he is also a columnist for Sound & Communications magazine as well as a freelance writer for WIRED and Church Production magazines.
Kayye has a passion for education and not only has supported the pro-AV market as an ICIA senior faculty member through volunteer efforts with ICIA's training and education department, but he also has a dream to eventually be a high school teacher in Chapel Hill, N.C. where he lives.
Fred Dixon Service in Education Award: Kim Milliken
Kim Milliken of Da-Lite Screen Company and founder of Optixx Screen Systems passed away on March 10 following an extended illness with cancer.
"Kim has the overwhelming esteem and admiration of his peers and he will be greatly missed," said Randal Lemke. "He gave wholeheartedly of himself to the work he loved, and we are proud to honor him with this year's Fred Dixon Service in Education Award."
Milliken spent more than 25 years in the audiovisual industry. He is best known for his commitment to educating the industry with a level of intelligence and sophistication that remains unparalleled. For example, PETC recently undertook the responsibility of revising the first edition of The Basics of Audio and Visual Systems Design under Milliken's editorial leadership. Upon Milliken's passing, Mike Weems built upon his work and brought the project to completion.
"Kim brought together the people to make the book revision a reality," remarked Mike Weems. "It was his vision that set the tone for all subsequent work and laid the groundwork that enabled me to carry the project to completion."
In 2002, ICIA awarded Milliken InfoComm's Distinguished Achievement Award, the industry's highest honor, for his career achievements as a true industry leader and educator. Milliken served on ICIA's Board of Governors and held various other committee positions including PETC membership.
"Kim's zeal to always do the right thing and to make absolutely certain that all large displays were done correctly has made the audiovisual world a better place," said Richard Lundin, chairman and CEO of Da-Lite Screen Company. "A deep sense of integrity and purpose combined with his unmistakeable style and wit were his hallmarks. It is the legacy Kim leaves for all of us in our industry."
The International Communications Industries Association, Inc.® (ICIA®) is the premier trade association for the professional audiovisual communications industry. ICIA is the founder of InfoComm, the conference and trade exposition for audiovisual communications professionals who come to learn about the latest technologies and available services as well as new and alternative applications.

The Norman Transcript
OKLAHOMA CITY — NBA games in late January are supposed to be tedious. With the All-star break around the corner, many players and teams don't put much stock into them.
Oklahoma City's Kevin Durant is not one of them. On a night he described as emotional, the MVP candidate scored 41 points and hit the game-winning shot in a 111-109 comeback victory over the Atlanta Hawks Monday at the Chesapeake Energy Arena.
"I'm just trying to inspire the team by my play," Durant said. "Just playing hard. Being emotional, hopefully it helps. Sometimes it may not. I got to take that risk. Take that chance. That's how I am on the court. I'm an emotional player. I know we play a lot of games. A lot of people say January don't mean anything. But when you are playing this game with your heart and passion like we do, sometimes you have to sit back and just enjoy it."
With 2:34 left on the clock, Durant went to the foul line and hit 1-for-2 to close Atlanta's (23-21) lead down to 107-105. Hawks' forward Paul Millsap missed a jumper, and Durant made him pay with a contested layup to tie the game.
Millsap tried to post up Reggie Jackson, but Durant came from behind with the blocked shot.
After another loose ball scramble, the Hawks made a wide open 3-point attempt that was off, but Millsap got the rebound. However, a few seconds later Millsap was called for traveling and Oklahoma City (36-10) got the ball back with 34 seconds on the clock.
Coming out of a timeout, guard Derek Fisher got the ball to Durant. With Atlanta's DeMarre Carroll guarding him, Durant hit a step back jumper to put the Thunder up 109-107 with 25 seconds left.
Millsap answered right back when he drove into the lane and flipped a left handed shot over Thabo Sefolosha.
With 22 seconds left the Thunder took over. Durant got the ball with seven seconds remaining at the top of the key and quickly recognized the "San Antonio umbrella defense" as the Hawks sent a double-team at him. He drove the other way and knocked down a 15-foot jumper with 1.5 left .
"I was going to pass it, then I saw I was in my spot and I just had to pull up," Durant said.
Atlanta was unable to get a shot off in the final seconds.
Along with Durant's 41 points (15-for-25), he collected five assists and three blocked shots. He also extended his scoring streak with at least 30 points in 11 games.
Jackson added 18 points and five assists. Serge Ibaka had six blocked shots and nine points.
The Hawks had seven players score in double figures. Millsap led with 23 points on 9-for-19 shooting. Guard Shelvin Mack and Carroll each posted 15 points. Mike Scott came off the bench to score 16 points.
"Losing is very hard in this league and our guys are hurting," Atlanta coach Mike Budenholzer said. "You have to give Oklahoma City a lot of credit. It was a heck of a fourth quarter and a heck of a basketball game. They made a couple of more plays than we did."
The Hawks bullied the Thunder on the offensive backboards. Even though they only had a 15-10 advantage, they led in 31-15 in second chance points.
But that wasn't enough to offset Durant's clutch fourth quarter, which has become the norm for the league's leading scorer.
"It was an emotional game," Durant said. "I was up and down the whole game. My emotions were everywhere. So I just had to try and keep it together at the end of the game and come through for my team. By the grace of God I was able to hit a few shots."

Here are the before and after pictures. We replaced our old flourescent fixtures with LED ceiling panels. We removed wall scounces in favor of small LED spots in the ceiling. We added ceiling speakers. We used our original drop ceiling grill, but painted it with a small trim roller. We removed the old brittle tiles and replaced them with an inexpensive flat tile above the Ceilume tiles. The room looks great and everyone comments on the beautiful ceiling (almost as much as they comment about the new Smart TV).

Meggan Walsh, who runs the Invesco Diversified Dividend fund, came up through the ranks as a bond manager. So when she took over the equity fund in 2002, she couldn't help but keep a focus on corporate balance sheets and how the companies she was considering might be able to withstand difficulties or endure market disruptions.
"I figured out early on what I was good at, and that was being skeptical and thinking about inflection points," Walsh says.
Like many dividend-themed funds, Invesco Diversified Dividend (ticker: LCEAX), which now has $8.7 billion in assets, does particularly well during downturns but may lag a bit in a frothier market. It has returned an average annualized 8.6% for the past decade, versus 7.7% for the S&P 500 index, according to Morningstar. During the financial crisis, it mostly steered clear of large financial institutions—"the big uglies," Walsh calls them—which helped the fund perform 10 percentage points better than the S&P's 37% loss for 2008. But, more recently, with the market on a tear, it has trailed a tad, rising 29% for the past year, versus the index's meteoric 31% increase. "We don't have heroic upsides," Walsh says. "We have kept pace in the recovery, which is a testament to our process."
Invesco's Walsh has raised some cash and found attractive new opportunities in energy and European stocks. Robert Seale for Barron's
THAT PROCESS EXAMINES both the stock's valuation and its potential for dividend growth. Fittingly for a former bond manager, Walsh starts with the balance sheet, and pays close attention to capital structure. By doing so, she hopes to find firms whose stock prices will rise over time and that have the ability to lift their dividends. While the fund's yield, at 1.5%, is relatively modest, its holdings have been increasing their dividends at a steady pace.
"We've been really impressed with the management team," says Chris Karam, CIOof Sheridan Road Financial, a wealth manager in Northbrook, Ill. For the past 4½ years, Sheridan has been using the fund largely for its retirement-plan clients, who have more than $50 million invested in it. "Like many other dividend funds, it has very good downside protection, but it also does fairly well in market rallies. The emphasis on dividend growth, and not just yield, is the key from our perspective," he says.
Walsh, 49, grew up in Annapolis, Md., as a self-described news junkie. She got a bachelor's in finance from the University of Maryland, and an M.B.A. from Loyola University Maryland, and started her investment career—right around the time of the 1987 market crash—managing money-market securities and conducting financial analysis for the Dutch insurer Nationale-Nederlanden, now a part of ING Group ING +0.36% ING Groep N.V.

She moved to the equity side in 1998, and four years later shifted to Invesco Diversified Dividend.
"It was trial by fire," she says of her early years as an equity manager. In the late 1990s, tech stocks were booming and valuations were getting crazy. "Having lived through that high-momentum period and watching that unwind really framed my approach to picking stocks," Walsh says. "You need to stay 100% focused on your process and realize that sometimes you are going to be out of step with the market."
This year, with the market up sharply, investors have poured more than $1.2 billion in net cash into the fund, compared with less than $500 million last year. But Walsh figures it's a tougher market, so she's focusing on preservation of capital and limiting downside risk—and the fund's cash levels have risen to 8%. Still, she's finding some opportunities.

He seems to be making sense of its product lines and lifting sales—and Walsh figures there's room for operating margins to go up and for dividend growth.

More recently, Walsh says, she has built positions in energy, an area the fund had previously shied away from and which now represents 5% of assets.

While many big dividend funds solely target U.S. stocks, Diversified Dividend has 11% of its assets overseas, up from 6% last year. The main overseas focus is on Europe, where the profit cycle has trailed the U.S. and where, Walsh figures, valuations are better. "We have been adding exposure to Europe throughout 2013," she says.

While its profits have been hit by slowing emerging-markets sales, Walsh sees signs of strength in the growth of its premium brands in a weak economic environment. She expects Heineken will be able to increase both its operating margins and dividend, now 1.8%. "It's a very high free-cash-flow business with plenty of room to grow the dividend over time," she says.
As the market reaches new highs, Walsh continues to consider the downside risks—something that comes naturally from her years as a fixed-income manager. "I think [that background] helps me stay focused on the interplay between the balance sheet and the income statement," she says. "It helps the most at those critical turning points."

Notes Part 7: Another PerformancePosted by Lawrence Dillon in Uncategorized
Tonight, shortly after the Russian premiere of Amadeus ex machina, another piece of mine, called Devotion, will get its NYC premiere. Students from the North Carolina School of the Arts will play the piece in Lincoln Center's Clark Theater. I'm not sure of the exact time.
Sorry I can't be there, but I wouldn't have missed this week for anything. I only wish I had time to write about everything I've seen: last night I went to the St. Petersburg Opera's production of Britten's The Rape of Lucretia, and right now I'm on my way to a Stravinsky double bill (Le Rossignol and Oedipus Rex) at the Mariinsky Theater. I will have a lot of reporting to catch up on when I get home.

Practically all public schools (99 percent) offer nutrition education somewhere within the curriculum, and many integrate it within the total curriculum (70 percent). Nutrition education is concentrated within the health curriculum (84 percent), science classes (72 percent), and school health program (68 percent) (
Table 1
). Although nutrition education is an active area, the intensity and quality of the nutrition messages students are receiving is not known.
For each grade from kindergarten through eighth, 50 percent or more of all schools have district or state requirements for students to receive nutrition education. However, only 40 percent have these requirements for ninth and tenth grades; and about 20 percent for eleventh and twelfth grades (
Figure 1
Topics in nutrition covered by more than 90 percent of all schools are: the relationship between diet and health, finding and choosing healthy foods, nutrients and their food sources, the Food Guide Pyramid, and the Dietary Guidelines and goals (
Table 4
). However, with the exception of the Food Guide Pyramid, less than half of schools cover these topics thoroughly.
Overall, schools focus on increasing students' knowledge about what is meant by good nutrition, with less emphasis on influencing students' motivation, attitudes, and eating behaviors. Four of the five topics covered by more than 90 percent of all schools are related to knowledge. With the exception of finding and choosing healthy foods, less than one-third of schools provide thorough coverage of topics related to motivation, attitudes, and eating behaviors (
Table 4
Research has shown that schools or districts where the nutrition education efforts are coordinated by a person or group have an opportunity to present a more focused message to students about the importance of healthy eating. However, the majority of schools (61 percent) have no nutrition education coordination, meaning each teacher is responsible for his or her own lessons (
Table 6
Most schools use materials developed by teachers in their schools (90 percent), health or science textbooks (89 percent), and materials developed for a specific grade level (83 percent) (
Table 10
Ninety-seven percent of schools report receiving nutrition lesson materials from at least one source outside the school, most often from professional or trade associations (87 percent), and the food industry (86 percent). However, for any given outside source, only 37 percent or less of schools used all or most of the materials received. Of the materials from sources outside the school, schools reported the highest classroom usage for those received from the food industry or commodities groups, professional or trade associations, the USDA Food and Nutrition Information Center, and state education agencies (
Table 8
Over 90 percent of all schools offer nutrition education through the school meals program. Most information is offered through bulletin boards with nutrition displays (65 percent) or during school lunch week (51 percent). Less than half of school meals programs offer nutrient information, serve meals to correspond with classroom activities, give tours or provide nutrition input to newsletters. Less than one quarter of school meals programs provide nutrition education in the classroom or conduct tasting parties (
Table 11
Most respondents (84 percent) are of the opinion that the meals programs in their schools follow generally healthy eating practices (
Figure 5
). Schools reporting that their meals programs follow healthy eating practices are substantially more likely to be involved in nutrition education activities than those that do not report following them (

SPRINGFIELD, Mass., April 15, 2006 – The Springfield College women's track & field team defeated both the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and Worcester Polytechnic Institute this afternoon in a tri-meet at SC's Blake Field.
Springfield scored 188 points to Coast Guard's 113, and WPI's 72.
Meanwhile, on the men's side, Coast Guard was the winner, scoring 162 points to Springfield's 151 and WPI's 84.
There were many fine performances by Springfield College student-athletes.
For the women, freshman Kayla Robertson (Peace Dale, R.I.) won the high jump with her best leap of the year at 5'0 ¼". SC went 1-2-3-4 in that event. In the long jump, freshman Silvienne Krosendijk (Seroe Biento, Aruba) won the event and had her finest jump at Springfield College with a leap of 18'7 ¾", which translated to 5.68 meters. That was 7 centimeters off her all-time best. "She might be in the top five nationally (in Division III) with that leap," said her Head Coach Jim Pennington. Also in the long jump, senior Kelli Rand (Westbrook, Conn.) finished 3rd with a leap of 15' 9 ½", good enough to qualify for the New England Division III Championships which will be held at Springfield College May 4-6.
In the hammer throw, freshman Kelsey Bishop (Warwick, R.I.) qualified provisionally for the Division III nationals by finishing 1st with a throw of 159'8". She improved by 4'8" in a two-week period. Freshman Sarah Waddington (Westerly, R.I.) finished 3rd in the same event with a personal best of 132'10". Further winners for Springfield included junior Adrienne Sayward (Salem, N.H.) in the javelin at 118'; junior Natasha Landon (Hudson Falls, N.Y.) in the pole vault at 2.75 meters; and grad student Sarah Martin (Madison, N.H.) a double-winner in the triple jump at 35'5 ¾" and in the 100-meter hurdles at 15.97 seconds. In the 100-meter dash, SC went 1-2-4-5. The winner was senior Yasmin Goris (Worcester, Mass.) at 12.69 seconds. In the 400-meter hurdles, senior Alisha Miner (Sanbornton, N.H.) finished first with a time of 67.03 seconds, well ahead of her time last year. In the 200, Krosendijk placed first with her best seasonal time to date of 26.86 seconds.
In addition, the SC 4x100 relay team not only won that competition at 49.18 seconds, but also dramatically improved its time .16 seconds in a two-week period. In the 1500 meters, sophomore Alyssa Brigham (Penacook, N.H.) finished 3rd with a time of 4:58.78, only half a second off qualifying for New England's.
And finally, SC's 4x400 relay closed the meet with a first-place finish and a time of 4:10.14.
On the men's side, there were many more fine performances. Sophomore John Lewis (Fitchburg, Mass.)had a great meet by placing 1st in the discus with a personal best of 151'7", and placing 2nd in the hammer at 149'3'. In the javelin, junior Cameron Turchetti (South Deerfield, Mass.) did very well in winning with a toss of 186'2". That qualified him for both the New England's and the ECAC's (which will also be held at Springfield on May 18-19). It was just two feet short of qualifying for the Division III nationals.
Sophomore Tim Rehm (Waldrick, N.J.) won the 400 meters with a time of 50.78 seconds. That qualified him for the New England's.
Senior Billy King (Wilmington, Mass.) had a great day by anchoring the winning 4x100 relay (43.20), finishing 1st in the 200 (22.68), and 2nd in the 100 (11.50). He also anchored the 4x400 relay which finished 2nd to Coast Guard in 3:29.84.
Other winners for the SC men included junior All-American Alex Kampersal (Natick, Mass.) in the shot put (47'1 ¾"), and sophomore Joe Dubuc (South Hadley, Mass.) in the 110-meter high hurdles (16.07 seconds).
Sophomore Dominic Uguccioni (Colrain, Mass.) placed in three events for the Pride. He finished 3rd in the hammer (143'8"), 4th in the shot put (45'7 ¼"), and 4th in the discus (133'5"). Other notable performances included junior Pat Gann (Guilford, Conn.) who finished 3rd in the 800 with a time of 1:57.78. That qualified him for the New England's. Also, freshman Eric Nacsin (East Longmeadow, Mass.) placed 4th in the same event (1:58.21). That also qualified him for the New England's.
Next week, the Springfield men and women will travel to Connecticut College.

The Pittsburgh Steelers have parted ways with troubled rookie Ta'amu and added wide receiver David Gilreath to the 53-man roster.||||||| Ta'amu was chosen by the Steelers in the fourth round of the NFL draft but has yet to play in a game. He was suspended two weeks without pay last month following a run-in with police in the city's South Side neighborhood that resulted in more than a dozen charges, including multiple felonies.
Ta'amu (tay-AH'-moo) apologized after a brief court appearance on charges related to an alleged drunken-driving rampage last month.||||||| The Steelers suspended him for two games immediately after his arrest. He's back on the roster, though he has yet to play this season.
The Steelers suspended Ta'amu two games without pay following his arrest over the weekend.||||||| Coach Mike Tomlin says Ta'amu will not be welcome at the team's facilities during the suspension, which is without pay. The 22-year-old fourth-round draft pick was arrested early Sunday morning by police after an incident on the city's South Side. Charges include felony fleeing police, aggravated assault and aggravated assault by vehicle, as well as misdemeanor accident causing damage, resisting arrest, escape and DUI.
Ta'amu of Kent, Wash., was driving a sport utility vehicle the wrong way on Pittsburgh's South Side at about 2:30 a.m. Sunday. Police say the 6-foot-3, 348-pound Ta'amu fled officers and crashed into four parked cars, injuring a woman, then tried to flee on foot before he was restrained. Charges against him include felony fleeing police, aggravated assault and aggravated assault by vehicle.||||||| Steelers general manager Kevin Colbert says team officials are "disappointed" but will await more information before commenting further. Ta'amu was drafted in the fourth round out of Washington. He has yet to play this season.

Update: Good news. According to Marcus Thompson, Bob Myers said that Dr. Ferkel (who performed Steph's surgery) is not concerned about this latest ankle incident (I'm not calling it an injury). There's also some good news in there about Bogut, that he's progressing on schedule.
Warriors PG Stephen Curry, C Andrew Bogut Each Get Good Ankle News
Update: Marcus Thompson is reporting that coach Mark Jackson will rest Curry the remainder of the preseason as a precaution, though he added that he "isn't concerned" about Steph's ankle. Good news? Bad news? What do you think?
CURRY UPDATE: Warriors coach Mark Jackson said he is sitting his starting PG for the rest of the preseason sulia.com/c/basketball/f…— Marcus Thompson (@gswscribe) October 20, 2012
Golden State Warriors guard Stephen Curry suffered a sprained ankle and was forced out of Friday night's contest against the Portland Trail Blazers at the Rose Garden, according to SB Nation's Blazer's Edge blog.
Curry will not undergo an MRI, and he will be held out of the remainder of the game for precautionary reasons. He suffered the injury just before halftime and headed to the locker room favoring the right ankle that he had surgery on in April. Curry has had a history of injuries since entering the NBA and missed 40 games a season ago because of ongoing issues in both ankles.
Prior to leaving the court on Friday, Curry scored two points on 1-for-2 shooting and dished out four assists. He played 11 minutes before exiting. Reserve guard Jarrett Jack will likely see an increase in playing time in his absence.
The Warriors are battling the Trail Blazers in Portland and are seeking their fifth win of the preseason under head coach Mark Jackson.

I'm experiencing realy strange problems.
1) When I draw an icon in Inkscape, consisted of primary shapes (rectangles, polygons, circles), the final icon on the phone has no circles on it !!! In any SVG viewer the circles are present, but on the phone, all of the objects on icon are present, except circles (ellipses). Is it possible that mifconv doesn't handle curves correctly?
2) The other problem is that, whenever I change the icon on the application, it is not displayed on the phone until the phone is restarted (Phone: E60, SDK: S60_3rd_MR). Till that moment, the previous icon is shown. I have posted it also here:
Please help, I think I'm going crazy.

A dump truck crash on Interstate 5 caused Oregon State Police to shut down northbound lanes of the freeway for several hours near Rice Hill.
OSP said the crash happened around 10:15 a.m. when the dump truck pulling a trailer ended up traveling onto the shoulder and crashing into a tree.
Troopers said the trailer carrying a backhoe became separated from the truck and continued a short distance before coming to an uncontrolled stop.
There were some vehicles in the southbound lanes that saw the crash and began to steer clear from the left lane as some thought the trailer was going to cross the freeway.
Troopers said that resulted in some minor collisions.
Several gallons of diesel fuel spilled across both northbound lanes, which resulted in ODOT shutting down that side of the freeway so crews could clean up the spill.
The driver of the truck, Alan Iverson, 30, from Kelso, was taken to a hospital in Springfield.
Officials said the passenger in the truck, Douglas White, 61, from North Bend, was taken by air ambulance to the hospital because he suffered more serious injuries.
The cause of the crash is still under investigation.

On Saturday, Jasper police will participate in the National Take Back Initiative. The program, started by the Drug Enforcement Administration in 2010, collected 371 tons of drugs at 5,800 sites nationwide when it was held in April. The drugs are incinerated, according to the DEA.
From 10 a.m. until 2 p.m., anyone who has prescription medications they no longer need can drop them off at the Jasper Police Department on Alabama Avenue in downtown Jasper. There's no cost to participate.
"This is a day that gives the public an opportunity to bring in old prescription medications that are outdated or are no longer being used," said Heath Allred, a member of the Jasper Police Department who's been assigned to work with the DEA. "It's a program that's growing. It's surprising how much it has grown."
Allred said those who bring old prescription medications are not required to register or even give their name.
To turn in the medications, you simply have to come by and drop them in a box that will be outside the police department. Jasper police will be on hand to answer any questions anyone may have.
"We'll take any prescription medications that anyone has, no questions asked," Allred said. "You don't have to sign anything or show your ID. It doesn't matter if it's your medicine or a family member's."
While the program is designed to help people dispose of unneeded medicine, it also serves an even better purpose.
"It takes prescription narcotics that might possibly be diverted to the streets, and it takes it out of the community," Allred said. "A lot of people don't really know what to do with medication they no longer need."
It also keeps the medications from falling into the hands of the wrong people.
"When you have medications just laying around, there's always the potential for someone to make a mistake and take it," Allred said. "It's also a safety issue for anyone who has small children in the house. You don't want to ever leave something like that laying around. A lot of people don't feel comfortable just throwing it away because it could still get in the wrong hands."
Once the event is over, Jasper police will seal the medications in a box and properly dispose of it.

New to Cubs... maybe radiator/bolster problem

New to Cubs... maybe radiator/bolster problem
I just bought a 1956 Farmall Cub. It runs very well, seems to have a minor issue with idle idle speed, and requires choke to start. I have some experience with larger Farmalls. I wanted a 1956 to match the styling of my Farmall 200. My other tractors are an 806D, 460D, 656D and a little Allis 5020D. I am pretty used to working on old tractors. The Cub has a fast hitch and an IH belly mower. I noticed that there is a white antifreeze residue along the bottom 3/4 inch of the radiator. The previous owner said he had thought about replacing the radiator but that it lost very little water and he had used it this way for 17 years. I poked around on this site and saw that the cub has an unusual radiator arrangement that uses the bolster for the bottom tank. I also saw that the bolster casting has frozen and broke on many cubs. I had seen no evidence of any problem with the bolster before I bought the Cub, but reading this, I began looking very closely. I found what may be a brazed or welded repair underneath the bolster. I would like to believe it's a casting flaw but I really don't know yet. When I looked closer I found that the radiator gasket was sealed with something that looks like silicon. Which is a little odd. I know that there has been no repair in the last 17-18 years and that the radiator has not been removed in this time. I also found that the drain plug has broken off and that a small screw has been installed into the back of whats left of the plug. The little tractor is serviceable now and has been mowing 5-6 acres reliably during it's stay with the previous owner. I plan to completely restore it in the future and use it to plant my garden and maybe some mowing now. I have 5-6 acres to mow too, but i have bigger tractors that will most likely get that job. I also belong to the Red Power site and participate frequently there about the larger tractors. I noticed that this site is very active with many people who have considerable knowledge about Cubs. So I wanted to describe this little tractor and my concerns and ask for any opinions anyone may have as to what i will need to know or do to make this Cub right.
Re: New to Cubs... maybe radiator/bolster problem
Welcome to the Forum. You'll find a lot of friendly and knowledgeable Cub lovers here. As you are aware, it's not uncommon for the bolster to have a freeze crack, but it's commonly along the front edge where the grill sits. If your's is on the bottom, that may well be a casting flaw or mold seam. Partial or full choke to start is normal and will vary from tractor to tractor. The silicone type sealant may have been used because a cork gasket wasn't available or was leaking. If you ever have the bolster off, you can probably use heat to remove the broken drain plug, or drill and retap. If you spend some time browsing the tool bar above, you can find all the manuals, plus a wealth of other info. Feel free to post other questions as they arise.

Re: New to Cubs... maybe radiator/bolster problem
G'day to you and congrats on your 1st Cub acquisition. I think you may find that these are pretty darn addictive
Can't add much to what Bob said so...
We have lots of resources for our members, suggest as I do with all new members that you take some time, a cup of coffee and a comfy chair and read the info in the following links.

Re: New to Cubs... maybe radiator/bolster problem
Thanks Bob and Rudi for the warm welcome. After writing yesterday, I removed the grill and found a weld just underneath the bottom of the grill. The bottom of the grill covers it and the grille does not sit down in the casting correctly because of the weld. I wish I had removed it before I bought it. The previous owner is knowledgeable about tractors, and had it for so long (17 years), that I thought any problem like this would have been caught years ago. I am curious about this problem with Cubs. How do so many Cub bolsters freeze and break yet there are not so many Cubs with blocks cracked from the same freeze? I would think the block would break too.
Can anyone direct me to the best information about changing the bolster. The bolster does not leak but the tractor apparently loses about a quart of water in mowing about 12 acres. It may be a very slow radiator leak (the previous owner thought so) as there is a 3/4" band of antifreeze residue along the bottom of the radiator. It may also be that the radiator is not sealing completely against the bolster. I will power wash the bottom of the radiator and watch it this spring. I have a one row corn planter for it and plan to plant my large garden with it. I planned to do a complete restoration eventually. If I can use the original bolster, I would want the weld along the front edge to be smoothed out so that the grill fits exactly right. But it is quite possible that in grinding down the weld, I could go through the weld and create a leak.
When folks change the bolsters do they move the serial number plate to the replacement bolster? Is the serial plate rivet pattern the same on all Cubs? Are all Cub bolsters the same or would i need to look for date codes etc.? I do know where there is a a bolster nearby for a lowboy which is probably close to the same year (1956); however the price for that bolster seems pretty high (over $250). What is a reasonable price for a good bolster? Is the lowboy bolster the same and/or is part number the same?
On a different note the serial number is 198003 J, which is very late in 1956. My research shows that it would have had a white grille and white background on the hood like the 450,350, 230 etc. I can't find any evidence of the white. Could have this tractor been entirely red?
Thanks again,
Re: New to Cubs... maybe radiator/bolster problem
To, $250 seems high to me- like 2x high.
It is possible to pop off the plate with a putty knife that has been notched to give a pocket for the rivet. Even then the success rate is not 100%
There are casting dates on the major cast parts including the bolster. The same bolster will work throughout the Cub production but if you are fussy about the dates then you may need to be patient. I have heard of a lot more cracked bolsters than blocks so that must mean something.
Bolsters are not difficult to change, but you will need to support the tractor as the front axle comes off too. My biggest concern would be the radiator. A fragile radiator may get by, but once you take it off, it may not be worth putting back on. I had one that just kept cascading from one problem to the next until I re-cored it.
54-56 Cubs had red grilles. The changeover happened in 56 to white, but anything on the cusp was not always consistent until they had used all the inventory.
This site has some model information: http://www.atis.net/CubFAQ/cub_faq.html#q3 There, it is stated that the white changeover happened at 197825. One thing you know for sure is that grille was off and a repair was done. Who knows what else happened in the last 50 years.
Re: New to Cubs... maybe radiator/bolster problem
I would be careful about powerwashing the radiator. If the radiator has been weakened, the pressure could make things much worse. I would just use a brush and water to clean her off.
I would try to grind it down anyway. If you do go into the original crack, you are no worse off, because you were going to buy a replacement anyway.
The residue at the bottom certainly suggests a leak, but are you sure the radiator is not overfull to begin with? The coolant expands as it warms up, so the "cold" coolant level on a Cub is typically just above the level of the tubes. Lots of Cub owners (self included) have thought there was a problem because we'd fill the radiator to the top and it would be blowing off through the overflow tube as she heated up.

Re: New to Cubs... maybe radiator/bolster problem
I have an early 1957 CUB that has the white grill and it is very close to the serial number that you gave.
Re: New to Cubs... maybe radiator/bolster problem
Tom, If you click on "manuals" in the tool bar, you can find the Blue Ribbon manuals. The GSS-1411 is the service manual that IH mechanics used as a reference for disassembly, parts replacement, and reassembly. If you want a paper version you can download anything here or buy them from TM Tractor (forum sponsor at the bottom of the page), or Binder Books. Both sell authorized reprints. If you find you need a replacement radiator, there is one on eBay made in Ireland by Clancy that is the best quality and best fit. Recoring is usually more expensive than a new one. If you replace the bolster, it may be safer to center punch the rivets on the SN plate and drill off the heads. Prying can tear the corner unless you are very careful.

---- — Seven out of 10 Hoosiers live in a city, suburb or town.
In the past month, I feared that Gov. Mike Pence and legislative Republican leaders had a rude surprise for us middle-class working stiffs. They want to repeal the business personal property tax in an effort to improve what is already one of the best business climates in the nation. They are attempting to begin a phase-out on new business equipment this year, with the goal of a total repeal a few years down the road.
This is good, right? Aren't all tax cuts good?
Perhaps, unless the tax cut for businesses and big corporations is made up in the form of local option income taxes. A local option income tax means that they want individual counties to make up the $500 million to $1 billion or so in revenues lost to local governments, libraries and schools by dinging your paycheck.
Earlier this month, Gov. Pence said in his annual State of the State address, "To make Indiana more competitive, let's find a responsible way to phase out this tax. But, let's do it in a way that protects our local governments and doesn't shift the burden of a business tax onto the backs of hardworking Hoosiers."
So that is the dilemma facing the governor and legislative Republicans. The constitutional property tax caps passed by voters in 2008 have already sliced away significant portions of municipal budgets. Cities like Terre Haute and Muncie have had to slash budgets by millions of dollars. What mayors and city councils are now facing is cleaving into bone.
Terre Haute Mayor Duke Bennett, a Republican, told the Tribune-Star it could lose $4 million of a $33 million general fund budget. "We can't sustain another $4 million hit on the general fund." Bennett said that without replacement revenue, the city would be forced to cut 150 employees. "A big portion of that would be policemen and firemen," he said. "We've cut all of the other areas to the bone, basically."
Think of it like this. You can create the sexiest business climate to lure companies to Indiana. Geico is bringing not only its British accent lizard (or is that an Ausssie accent?) and hundreds of jobs to Carmel, but that city has great parks, a new performing arts center, a revived downtown, trails and an improving road system. Companies wanting to set up shop in Indiana look for those amenities to attract good employees.
What the tax caps, and now a potential business personal property tax repeal could end up doing is to create communities that can't afford to bus their kids to school, keep the street lights on, plow the snow, and fix the streets. We've seen the police chief in Knightstown Tase himself in a publicity stunt to buy new squad cars.
Two bills in the General Assembly - House Bill 1001 and Senate Bill 1 - begin the repeal process, but neither one of them has replacement revenue for municipalities and counties, other than a slow phase-out and the income tax. SB1 would form a summer study committee while eliminating the tax for businesses with less than $25,000 in property.
There are about six weeks left in this session, and the replacement part of this equation is sketchy at best, and revealing when you consider how ill-prepared the governor and legislative leaders have been to find a replacement solution.
As they say on ESPN, "C'mon, man!"
Last week, Republican mayors Greg Ballard of Indianapolis, Jim Brainard of Carmel, Lloyd Winnecke of Evansville and Democrat mayors Greg Goodnight of Kokomo, Tom Henry of Fort Wayne and Peter Buttigieg of South Bend met with Gov. Pence to express their alarm at what cities would face with a repeal and no replacement.
Pence sent a letter to mayors later in the day, saying, "I want to assure you that I understand your concerns. You provide essential services to your citizens, and I can see why some believe the phase-out of the business personal property tax could threaten service delivery. I have said that we cannot phase out this tax in a way that shifts the tax burden to hard-working Hoosiers. You may be assured that I will stand by these commitments to your community and your citizens."
Winnecke emerged from the meeting, telling the Evansville Courier & Press, "He reiterated to us that he would not sign any legislation that was not revenue neutral to communities. He reiterated that point several times during the meeting."
Here's a couple of closing thoughts. First, over the past 10 years, Indiana has dramatically altered its tax structure. Who are the winners and losers? I'm not sure anyone can tell you. We need a time out, and a comprehensive study of what's been accomplished and whether the winners have won too much and the losers are just poor schmoes.
Secondly, Gov. Pence is on record saying he understands the dilemma, and that replacement revenue will be found.
We need to hold him to that promise.

SAN DIEGO (CNS) - A Madison High School wrestling coach accused of fatally shooting an acquaintance -- a former assistant coach -- at the victim's Bay Park home must stand trial on murder charges, a judge ruled Monday.
Jeret Thomas Needham faces 50 years to life in prison if convicted in the Sept. 24 death of 45-year-old Robert Colegrove, who was shot once in the chest.
San Diego police homicide Detective Desiree Spurlock testified that investigators found a bullet hole in the back gate of a residence where Colegrove lived.
Homicide Detective Ron Newquist said officers found a 9mm shell casing in the alley behind the home in the 2200 block of Denver Street.
Colegrove's widow, Terra Jones, testified that her husband had worked for Needham previously but quit when he found out that Needham was a "drunk."
Jones testified that about four months before her husband was killed, Needham groped her from behind as she made the bed in Colegrove's room -- a converted garage -- behind the home on Denver Street.
"He (Needham) violated me," Jones testified, saying that Colegrove pushed the defendant out of the door afterward.
On Sept. 24, Needham called about 1 p.m. and asked to come over to talk to Colegrove, Jones testified.
"We both presumed he (Needham) was coming over to apologize," Jones said.
She said Needham showed up drunk, pushed his way past her and sat down in Colegrove's chair.
When Needham, 42, refused to get out of the chair, Colegrove slapped him in the shoulder, then punched and kicked the defendant after he fell to the ground, Jones said.
She said Colegrove told her that Needham was trying to hit him with a stick, and she told her husband not to hit Needham with it.
The two wrestled each other before Needham left, according to the witness, who said her husband told the defendant, "Keep your hands off my wife."
About an hour later, Jones said she heard a "big loud bang" and found her wounded husband on the ground in the backyard. Colegrove died at the scene. Investigators found a small knife under his body.
Tiffany Ponce, who lived at the Denver Street home part-time, testified she saw Needham leave after the 1 p.m. encounter, and heard him repeating "You shouldn't have done that" as he left.
Ponce said Needham looked like "he was in a weird state."
A neighbor testified that he heard a bang about 2:30 p.m., then saw a man he later identified as Needham speed off in a gray minivan.
Around 3:30 p.m., police surrounded a home on Firestone in Clairemont and ordered Needham to come out with his hands up. The defendant surrendered peacefully about 6 p.m.
San Diego police Officer Jaime Conti testified that as he handcuffed Needham, the defendant said, "I know I (expletive) up." Conti said he asked Needham about some welts on his face and he responded, "I got my ass beat with a baseball bat."
During a search of the defendant's home, police found a Russian-made 9 mm handgun and ammunition matching the shell casing found in the alley, Newquist said.
Needham had worked as a "walk-on" coach for the Clairemont Mesa school for the past three years, said Jack Brandais, spokesman for San Diego Unified School District.
Superior Court Judge Melinda Lasater found that enough evidence was presented at the preliminary hearing for Needham to proceed to trial. He will be back in court Dec. 30 for arraignment and to get a trial date.

Greg Gunthorp was raised on a farm in Lagrange, Indiana only a mile from where he now lives with his wife, Lei, and their three young children. Gunthorp owns 65 acres and uses about 65 acres of his parents' farm. We have had great success selling Gunthorp's chickens and ducks at our stores over the years and are excited to be able to offer his turkeys again this year.
The Gunthorps pasture raise their birds in wheat, clover, rye and various grasses, and harvest their own corn for feed in the fall, the only off-farm input being Hubbard's Homestead mineral mix. The birds have access to shelter and feed during bad weather, but spend most of their time foraging. No drugs, antibiotics or hormones are used on the farm and the animals are processed on the farm in a USDA-approved meat plant.
The early forecast for the birds is that they should be in the range of 15-22 pounds per bird and they will come in fresh the week of Thanksgiving and be very tasty. Reserve your birds early because this is a farmer who does it right and his self proclaimed way to sell his turkeys is "Good-tasting birds sell themselves".
Price is $3.49 per pound
All birds will be between 15 - 22lbs.
Gunthorp Farms Turkeys will be available for pick up on Sunday, November 24th.
Pre-order your turkey from through November 15th. Order online now!
