Ever since Keeneland tore out its old speed-favoring and rail-biased dirt track and installed the synthetic Polytrack, the Grade 1 Blue Grass Stakes (post time: 6:18pm ET; TV: CNBC) has become an incredibly difficult race to handicap. It seems like every year, we see colts ship into Keeneland with nothing but a string of impressive dirt wins to their credit, proceed to take a ton of cash at the window and then run up the track after the gates open. You can almost set your watch to that scenario.
The difference between racing over a synthetic surface and racing over dirt is as great as the difference between racing over turf and dirt. Success on one surface doesn't ensure (or preclude) success on another. Most of the time, horsemen, jockeys, owners and handicappers don't really know whether a horse will take to a specific surface until they actually try it.
The horse expected to be the heavy favorite for the 2012 Blue Grass Stakes, Hansen, has already proven he can handle a Polytrack surface when he won two races at Turfway Park as a juvenile. But there are still questions that remain for the morning line choice, namely: how tight will trainer Michael Maker have the Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner for this race? Is he looking for a big performance, or one that merely gets him ready for the 2012 Kentucky Derby? The answer to that question is key to determining where to place your money on Saturday.
Let's take a look at the field for the 2012 Grade 1 Blue Grass Stakes at Keeneland.
1-Heavy Breathing (12/1): Showed speed early and tired late in the G3-Sprial Stakes at Turfway on March 24. He's shown that he doesn't hate Polytrack, but it's hard to imagine him beating this field if he couldn't beat the one in the Spiral.
2-Gung Ho (30/1): Another Turfway shipper, this one off of a second-place finish in the ungraded Rushaway Stakes at a mile-and-a-sixteenth. A son of Kitten's Joy and owned by Ken and Sarah Ramsey, Gung Ho shouldn't be completely discounted in this race; he can handle the surface and the distance shouldn't be an issue. Class-wise, he's a step or two below many in this field, but he's an interesting longshot given the success that offspring of Kitten's Joy have experienced on the Polytack at Keeneland.
3-Prospective (10/1): Finished 2nd in the G3-Sam F. Davis at Tampa Bay Downs before bouncing back to win the G2-Tampa Bay Derby in his last start. This colt began his career at Woodbine in Canada and found success on both turf and synthetic surfaces. In fact, he's won races over all three surfaces in his career, suggesting a colt with an ability to adapt to a wide variety of situations. It's debatable as to whether he's got enough class to beat a colt like Hansen, but it wouldn't be surprising to see him unleash a top effort in this race.
4-Hansen (6/5): The Champion Two-Year-Old of 2012 and Breeders' Cup Juvenile winner looked very good when winning the G3-Gotham at Aqueduct on March 3. Going into that race, there were major question marks as to whether Hansen could learn to control his natural early speed, instead of bolting to the lead as he did when he finished second in the G3-Holy Bull. He successfully passed the first test when he used a perfect stalking trip to blow away the Gotham field by an easy three lengths.
Hansen began his career at Turfway Park on a Polytrack surface, so there shouldn't be any concerns with him not taking to the footing.
5-Russian Greek (50/1): If this longshot son of Giant's Causeway were to win the Blue Grass Stakes, I think we can safely assume that the race completely fell apart in the final furlongs. Russian Greek finished eight lengths behind Daddy Nose Best in the G3-El Camino Real at Golden Gate Fields and over nine lengths back of Went the Day Well in the G3-Sprial. He needs to show some major improvement, or his rivals all need to throw in serious clunkers, if Russian Greek is to finish on top of this field.
6-Dullahan (6/1): A lot of people that are looking to beat Hansen in this race will likely turn to Dullahan as their best hope. Second in the G2-Palm Beach in his only start of 2012, Dullahan has performed well on turf and synthetic surfaces in his career, something that should aid him in this race. Additionally, Dullahan has previously won a Grade 1 race at Keeneland (G1-Breeders' Futurity; 10/8/11). And finally, he's a closer in a race that appears loaded with speed.
Dullahan is a half-brother to 2009 Kentucky Derby winner Mine That Bird.
7-Politicallycorrect (30/1): Hey, what do you know? This is the second of two sons of Kitten's Joy owned by Ken and Sarah Ramsey in the Blue Grass and neither of them has "Kitten" in their name. That's got to be some kind of record ... or maybe they've run out of "Kitten" names to use.
Politicallycorrect put forth a decent effort in his only start on the Keeneland Polytrack (second against Maiden Special Weight company), but he's facing a serious class test after running against $75,000 optional claimers at Gulfstream Park in his last start. Tough task.
8-Midnight Crooner (15/1): A son of War Chant and a trainee of Bob Baffert, Midnight Crooner dominated a Maiden Special Weight event over the synthetic surface at Golden Gate Fields before finishing third by a length-and-a-quarter in the ungraded Pasadena Stakes on the Santa Anita turf course. He's likely to flash a bit of early speed in this race but it might be asking too much from this colt to expect him to look Hansen and the other speed horses in the eye and come away victorious.
Midnight Crooner is a full brother to 2011 Santa Anita Derby winner Midnight Interlude.
9-Holy Candy (30/1): I love the offspring of Candy Ride (ARG) because they can do just about anything. They can win on dirt, or turf or synthetics. They can sprint or route. And they tend to have a good deal of class in their blood.
Holy Candy's only race on a synthetic surface (a second-place finish against Maiden Special Weights at Hollywood Park last November) might not be completely revealing as to his ability on Polytrack; he was slow out of the gate that day and had to hustle his way into contention within the first half mile. With a clean start, Holy Candy should be better in his second try on synthetics and might make sense if your looking for a price play in the exacta, trifecta or superfecta.
10-Howe Great (6/1): Owned and trained by the same connections as last year's Kentucky Derby winner Animal Kingdom, Howe Great will make his first start on Polytrack after ripping off four straight victories on dirt and turf, the most recent coming in the G3-Palm Beach on March 11 at Gulfstream Park. Howe Great has shown a good deal of speed in his prior races so we should expect him to move to quickly move to the front once the gate opens. He's been a much better horse on turf than on dirt, something that suggests the transition to Polytrack won't be a big issue. Given the wide post position, jockey Javier Castellano will have to hustle this colt to the front early to avoid getting caught wide in the first turn.
11-Ever So Lucky (12/1): This colt has made only three starts in his career and just one since the calendar turned over to 2012. He was second to Wood Memorial winner Gemologist in last fall's G2-Kentucky Jockey Club at Churchill Downs but was well behind Trinniberg and Hello Prince in the G3-Swale on March 10. Given his breeding (by Indian Charlie out of a Summer Squall mare; none of his siblings ever won a route race (0-for-12)) it's questionable as to whether he wants to run nine furlongs, let alone the Derby distance of ten. Additionally, this is his first start on Polytrack and "dirt only" horses (horses that have never started over a turf or synthetic surface before racing on the Polytrack at Keeneland) have a horrible record in two-turn races at Keeneland since the old dirt track was replaced.
12-Hero of Order (12/1): The 109/1 winner of the G2-Louisiana Derby is back for more in the Blue Grass Stakes, looking to shock the world again in the process. One thing is for certain, he won't go off at odds of 109/1 in this race.
13-Scatman (12/1): It's hard not to like the way this colt has developed over the course of the spring. He started the year with an easy win against optional claimers and then finished just a half-length behind Secret Circle in the G3-Southwest Stakes. He followed that effort up with a third-place finish in the G2-Rebel Stakes on St. Patrick's Day. Throw in a prior win over the Keeneland Polytrack when he was a two-year-old and you've got a very interesting long-shot possibility, despite the awful post position.
The Pick
Hansen is the class of the field but he doesn't need to run a big race in this spot, making this the very definition of a "prep" race. Additionally, there is a ton of early speed in this field which should ensure fast fractions early and tired horses late. As a result, I'm looking for a closer in the form of Dullahan. He may not be a great play in the Kentucky Derby, but Dullahan fits the winner's profile for this year's Blue Grass Stakes.

FRANKTON, Ind. — Frankton repeated a Madison County Tournament victory over Liberty Christian in result only Thursday night, 66-49.
The Eagles won by a scant point in the county, but that wasn't the only difference.
"We wanted to play at a completely different tempo," said Frankton coach Brent Brobston. "We didn't want the game played up and down the court because I think that's the kind of game Liberty Christian wants. We wanted to play it in half-court and I think, for the most part we did that."
The patience offensively in the first half opened up a big 16 minutes for Jordan Reeves, who hit all of his field goals and his way to 12 points by intermission. He hit just one basket in the second halof but was still among Frankton's leading scorers in a balanced attack.
The Lions were playing a bit short-handed as Preston Quinn missed the game fighting a battle with tendinitis. He started the game but was removed at the first dead ball situation. Quincey Hiatt did not suit up for the contest.
Aaron Korn had a game-high 18 points for the Eagles, followed by 14 from Austin Compton and 10 by Nick Wright. Wright also had another item on his list of things to do — guard Liberty's standout backcourt player Chris Nunn.
Nunn ended the game with 10 points, hitting 30 percent of his shots.
"Nick did a fantastioc job on him," said Brobston.
Franklin Nunn and Vincent Phillips tied for team-high scoring honors for the Lions with a dozen points apiece.
Neither team was able to generate any offensive rhythm due to the 51 free throws attempted by the two teams combined. The Eagles hit 23-of-30 from the line, but only half of the 10 they tried in the fourth quarter.
Frankton also enjoyed a 36-27 advantage in rebounding. Compton had nine boards and Korn seven to pace the home team. Phillips had 10 for the Lions.
The Eagles are 14-2 and will next play Saturday afternoon at Blackford in their continuing quest for a Central Indiana Conference titloe.
The Lions are 11-6 and will host Muncie Burris on Saturday evening.

Russian emigre philosopher Georgy Fedotov (1888-1951) proposed two basic principles for all of the freedoms by which modern democracy lives. First, and most valuable, there are the freedoms of "conviction" -- in speech, in print, and in organized social activity. These freedoms, Fedotov asserted, developed out of the freedom of faith. The other principle of freedom "defends the individual from the arbitrary will of the state (which is independent of questions of conscience and thought) -- freedom from arbitrary arrest and punishment, from insult, plundering and coercion on the part of the organs of power ... " In an ideal world, all of these freedoms would be present. But Fedotov also cautioned that "freedom is the late, refined flower of culture." For the flower to bloom, the roots need to be watered. A free society, from the ground up, requires a respect for the rule of law, a judiciary and police force that aren't easily bought, a political culture that knows how to rid itself … [Read more...]

Sophono raises cash to market hearing aid
Last Updated: 15:19 February 21, 2014
The Swiss firm Windgan, a prior Sophono investor, led the equity funding round.
Boulder-based Sophono makes hearing aids that work by using bone conduction. Whereas normal hearing aids work by increasing volume and pushing air in the ear canal, Sophono's device includes a magnet implanted under the skin behind a patient's ear. The rest of the device then attaches to the magnet outside the skin. When the device vibrates against the side of the head, it conducts sound through the skull to the inner ear.
Howard Vickers, Sophono's head of operations and finance, said Sophono is adding two employees in Boulder immediately as well as one in the Northeast. The company's annual revenue, he said, is around $5 million.
More than 3,000 people in 36 countries have Sophono implants, and Vickers said the market is about to grow exponentially. He said competitor Cochlear recently began producing a similar magnetic implant for its own bone conduction hearing devices.
"The magnetic slice of the pie is about to get much larger, and we want to participate in the whole market," Vickers said.
Sophono completed a restructuring of the company about six months ago that included the hiring of a new chief executive, Dr. Peter Ruppersberg.
"Until recently, our main competitor only offered a hearing solution with an abutment protruding visibly through the skin of the patient's head," Ruppersberg said in a press release. "With their strategic reversal and large budget, the competitor is now accelerating magnetic adoption faster than we could on our own. That's why we're investing heavily to increase our share in a market that's already more than $100 million a year."

This was given as wedding gift. Bride and groom were thrilled. Overstock price beat all other competitors' price. Delivery was very timely. Will definitely order appliances again from Overstock. Keep up the good work. Value conscious customers really appreciate you.
Love this mixer!!! I am so glad i did not buy the tilt head. My cabinets are roughly 17" above my counters and with this model(bowl lift), i dont have to pull the mixer out to use it. I was initially worried when some reviewers said the bowl was hard to take off? No, its easy and secure! I have made manicotti, meatballs, pancakes, peanut butter cookies and chocolate chip cookies so far! I never made manicotti or meatballs because i think they are so messy to make. I love that i only have 1 bowl to clean now, whereas before when i would have to use several for most ingredients(i.e. mix this over there, then combine.. blahhh) I have so much less to clean now than i did before and that makes me want to do more in the kitchen :) The only thing is that i have stainless steel appliances and i kinda wish i had bought the metallic chrome to match. However, this does look wonderful anyways!!!!
Very pleased, however the American Appliance needs a voltage converter which was not indicated by overstock.com. International customers be aware that sparks will fly out of machine without a converter. Amazon provided a US to UK converter for about �12.
I love it! it is tall and hard to store in a cupboard but lives happily on the kitchen counter.
We LOVE the mixer & the versatility. We use it continually & every family member loves to operate it & bake & cook with it
Really like the mixer; however when I ordered the shredding/slicer attachment the shaft that holds on the shredding part would not fit the other attachments. It seems to be bent. Acknowledging this was a refurbished piece of equipment, I still expected it all to fit and work well. I called customer service and was helped very professionally and promptly. I understand another shaft will be sent.
Always dependable. Atter all these years the product is the same and still the best on the market.
This mixer works great. I'm glad I didn't get one with a smaller motor.
Upon receiving this mixer we discovered that it had a defective power switch. Overstock promptly emailed us a return label and rush delivered a new mixer. It was the easiest online return I've ever experienced. Since receiving the new mixer, we have nothing but great things to say. 325 watts is more than enough power unless you're mixing cement. My girlfriend's mother has been punishing her 325-watt KitchenAid for more than 10 years now and it just doesn't quit. The bowl lifting design this one uses as opposed to the tilt head design of lower priced models is well worth the extra dough (pun intended). It fits nicely under the counter during operation and makes adding ingredients during mixing a breeze. You won't be disappointed with this purchase.

i stayed in few hostels and this one did not really provide a very high standard. it was nice to have a tv in the room,but i would rather skip that for cleaner bathroom. the continental breakfast offered very limited choices. overall i did not expect to get luxuries for the price i paid so i was not disappointed. however i think there is room for improving the situation.

Zionsville —
Zionsville Community Schools Chief Financial Officer Mike Shafer explained the track of future ZCS enrollment at the May 13 school board meeting.
He said the number of housing starts is up and more people are moving to Boone County. An Indiana Business Research Center study on enrollment projects more students at every ZCS school, he said, and the corporation is looking at a population of 8,000 students by the end of the decade – up from the current 5,750 students.
"We'll have sufficient capacity throughout the study period," he said. "Around 2018 we'll reach capacity at the high school." He said the IBRC report is not only useful for ZCS but also other agencies in community.
"IBRC has been doing these reports for ZCS since 1998 and have been 98 percent accurate," he said.
Robison strongly recommended making smart, fast use of bond funds to accommodate the growing population. He said obligated funds include fire protection upgrades, safety/security, Boone Meadows Elementary equipment, purchasing the Dow property and constructing a maintenance facility there, and possible bond reimbursement.
Unfinished projects include a tennis facility, high school expansion before it reaches capacity and a Pleasant View renewal/remodel.
Other needs the superintendent listed include ZMS track repair, maintenance at the middle school tennis courts, infrastructure and outdoor needs, demolishing the old Union school and tennis center, and lawn care and custodial equipment.
"I think by the middle of June we'll be in a place where you can look at all the puzzle pieces and say 'I think we're going to do this,'" he told the board when discussing priority setting and decision making.
A tennis facility is a priority for many people at the May 13 meeting.

I have been on a search for a bulk wax that is softer and gentler on facial waxing. I read the previous reviews and decided to try it. It is lighter and works as expected.

Way Too Stringy, No Customer Support
I love using hard wax on my clients & they love it too. However this product is way too stringy & gets all over the wax pot, my hands, & the client. When I called the company to find out why this was happening or if I was doing something wrong I was referred to the manufacturer. Surprisingly it is ConAir a very large corporation selling mostly electronics... When I tried to talk to the Customer Service Agent she had no idea about wax, said she couldn't help me without a model number (I looked all over the can for one & there is NO model number on the can of wax). I thought Satin Smooth was a waxing company & I was very disappointed not to be able to speck to someone who knew something about waxing. My problem was never solved. I will not be buying this product again.

Takes More Practice Than I'm Willing To Give
This hard wax works great--if you know what you're doing. I went through 1 can of it, trying to learn the technique, and sort of figured it out, but very hit or miss.
It's different than honey wax or sugar wax, in that you apply a thick layer, and then another layer on top (according to videos I watched of the technique), then wait a bit for it to dry, flip up an edge, and pull off the whole wax strip.
If it's too hot, or not hot enough, or if you spread it too thinly at the edges, or if the room is too cold...etc. if many variables, then you wont get a good result. Sometimes, the wax would break into chunks as I pulled it off, as it became too brittle to stay in one strip. Sometimes, I would spread the edges too thin, so that I could tear off the center portion, but still have plastic-y wax adhered to my skin all over from the edges. And chunks of dried wax all over the floor, etc. I really wasn't that good at it.
However, on the applications I got right, I would say hard wax is definitely less painful than soft, and I don't really even find soft wax painful on most areas.
I'd say, if you want to learn, and practice, this is a good product--or if you are a pro. And if you have a bad reaction to soft wax, try this instead. It does seem more gentle. As it dries a bit, you can feel the wax pull away from your skin--it doesn't stick to your skin, only to the hair.
I didn't like the smell, but it didn't bother me.

Love It :)
I absolutely hate soft wax it is so incredibly sticky and messy and not effective and ugh just no! Now hard wax is just wonderful :) You do have to leave it in the warmer longer than it says I left it on the warmer for an hour and it was ready to go. It did hurt a bit to pull it off but I put baby powder before and then the wax and then baby powder again on top and it came off very easily it just takes practice. I would recommend to anyone! Never going back to soft wax ever.

Good Wax For The Price
I am a licensed skin therapist although not practicing at this time. I still do my own waxing and have found that this hard wax is the best one for bikinis. I have stubborn hair and need a good wax. I have tried other waxes but this one is the best for the accessibility and the price. the shipping was quick.

Soft Wax Is Easier To Use
I've been using the soft wax for a few months and I love it. This product had such great reviews that I figured I had to try it as a wax-addict! I found it way too difficult to work with. I put it in the warmer on medium for nearly 2 hours and it STILL wasn't melted, even though the directions say 30 minutes. When you use it, you have to make sure you have the temperature just right when you pull it off or it will break and become too brittle to do anything. SUCH a pain! I like how fast and easy the soft wax is (even if it is sticky). So, I guess I'm back to the epilating strips. This product was way too time consuming to be worth it.

Just Saved 65 Bucks!
So...waxing is definitely not for the faint at heart. But with that said, either I have a really high tolerance for pain or this product works pretty great. The bottom line is that this wax didn't pull at the skin, wasn't too painful, and saved me 65 bucks.

I haven't had a professional wax, but was very tired of shaving, so bought this, read up how to do it on the internet, and voila! I haven't shaved under my arms for over a week and I love it! I did my legs and bikini area also. It said on the internet to put some oil on first, so I used olive oil, which is great for your skin anyway, and didn't have any trouble with it sticking to my skin. The underarm area was the most sensitive, but not a big deal.I got a little crock pot from a thrift store to heat it up and it worked perfectly. Great stuff!

Not That Good
it takes a looooong time to melt, not easy to apply, and it does contrary to most of the reviews hurt to pull it off, and on top of that it missed too many of the hairs! The worst part--- could not get all the sticky residue off----for days, left my skin irritated and itchy! Yuck, yuck! Would never recommend to anyone.

"I have received so many compliments on this card, everyone thinks I applied a special treatment to my photo when it was really built into this beautiful card. I upgraded to the pearl paper option and it adds an even greater wow factor."
"this card has an angelic feel to it.. truly simple but beautiful. i loved them so much - i ordered more once i received them!"
"I really loved that once you add a photo the filters just alter the photo and voila, it's done. I didn't have the best photos this year for our holiday card, but this layout did wonders! I also really appreciate that you can add text or photos on the back of the card. Just perfect."
"So pleased with these cards. The color splotches on the bottom really add to the muted tones that the filter creates. I chose the glitter paper option and it also added the perfect soft sheen to the card. Highly recommend!"
"The card is simple and beautiful. There is a (brushed?) finish that blurs the picture slightly making it appear professional. I order from tiny prints every year and this is my favorite card to date."

Sarasota Ballet: Cojocaru, Kobborg to perform 'Giselle'
Date: May 8, 2009
by: The Observer Staff
The Sarasota Ballet is pleased to announce that two of the most famous dancers in the world, Alina Cojocaru and Johan Kobborg, will be Principal Guest Artists for the 2009-2010 Season which premieres with a new production of 'Giselle' on November 27, 2009 in the Sarasota Opera House.
Cojocaru, promoted to principal by Sir Anthony Dowell after her first performance in the title role of 'Giselle' with The Royal Ballet in London, is widely considered the most inspiring dancer in today's international ballet world to take the role. An April 29, 2009 New York Times review of a London performance of 'Giselle' noted, "For an improbably long time, showers of blooms rained down on Alina Cojocaru after her performance of "Giselle" at the Royal Opera House last week."
Kobborg, former principal of The Royal Danish Ballet and now principal of The Royal Ballet and Cojocaru's partner, is equally renowned as one of the leading male dancers today. He has been the recipient of numerous prizes and awards, including the Nureyev International Competition (Grand Prix 1994), USA International Competition, Jackson, USA (Grand Prix 1994) and the Erik Bruhn Competition (1993) and received a 2006 Laurence Olivier Award nomination for his production of La Sylphide.
Cojocaru and Kobburg's unique partnership and artistry have captured the hearts of audiences all around the world where they have made guest appearances, including dancing with the Mariinsky Ballet, Bolshoi Ballet, La Scala Ballet, National Ballet of Canada, Hamburg Ballet, Stuttgart Ballet, Vienna State Opera Ballet and Teatro San Carlo, Naples, to name a few.
For the Sarasota Ballet Season Premiere, Cojocaru and Kobborg will be dancing in a new production of what is arguably the most famous romantic ballet of all time, which has been created by another one of the world's great Giselles, Margaret Barbieri. At the peak of her career with The Sadler's Wells Royal Ballet, Barbieri flew all over the world as guest in countless productions of 'Giselle' including Houston Ballet.
Barbieri will draw on her artistry and depth of understanding of this timeless ballet to create a fresh new production for the Sarasota Ballet.
"As soon as I heard of the departure of Lauren Strongin I phoned Johan to ask if there was any possibility that he and Alina could come and dance Giselle with the Sarasota Ballet. I am ecstatic that they have agreed to be Guest Artists for the 2009-2010 Season."
To place your name on the mailing list for information about the entire season, please contact the Sarasota Ballet at (941) 359-0099 ext. 102 Or visit www.SarasotaBallet.org.

You need some settings to do:
Select menu > Settings > Connectivity > WLAN > Available WLANs > choose the WiFi network name you wish to connect
Select Menu > Settings > Configuration >Personal settings > Add new > Access Point > Write the name of the WLAN access point you wish to connect
Select Menu > Settings and Configuration > Preferred access point — View the saved access points and choose the preferred WLAN access point.
Select Menu > Settings > Connectivity > WLAN > Internet Connection :Ask first
you are asked for the connection method every time you open an application that requires an Internet connection such as Browser or Mail.

Thank you to all of you for helping us.
Mr. Mahayv,
questions will be: access point opened, an access point wifi connection point with the account name should be the same?
Could you explain a little more on what?
15-08-2011 11:11
Usual way is when the settings are OK and connect the phone with WLAN , no need any account name.
26-08-2011 8:20
I'm sorry, but the first post that I talked to more than Mr.Mahayv 2 step in the "Select Menu> Settings> Configuration> Personal settings> Add new> Access Point> Write the name of the WLAN access point you wish to connect," you said. So here the Access Point in the 'Account name' or the access point settings in the 'User Name' instead of the wifi port id 'we will give
26-08-2011 9:02
Just gíve the "Account name My access point". Of course this must be the WLAN access point name you wish to connect.(In the available WLAN list).
07-09-2011 14:20
Can I delete them also have set up my gsm? I have one more question: After you activate the default setting should I do?
08-09-2011 6:59
No need to delete.
After the default settings are activated, the applications you start, automatically work according to the default settings.
08-09-2011 11:52
mr. mahavy,
tell all about the events step by step (exactly)
08-09-2011 12:20 - edited 08-09-2011 13:36
You have done the settings above i explained for WLAN connection, right?
After this, when you open the browser or Internet on your phone, this will connect automatically to the Internet.
If it does not work, it is best to visit Nokia Care Point in your area.
To find your nearest Nokia Care Point, visit http://www.nokia.com/support and select the Repair page.

Gering schools administration moving today to new "digs"
Gering Superintendent Don Hague and the administrative staff are excited about moving into their new "digs" on Friday. In February the School district purchased the former Western Heritage Credit Union offices on 10th Street as the new home for administration.
Thursday employees were getting trained on new phones, packing materials and equipment, and looking forward to having 10 Gering High seniors help with the move. Hague says getting the building at a cost of only $50 per square foot and without requiring renovations is a huge plus for the district. Hague also says moving school board meetings to the council chambers is a big improvement from the board's previous meeting location.
Hague believes the district will be a solid partner for the retail merchants located on 10th Street, and could bring extra customer traffic to downtown.

A little about me.
I don't consider myself to be a very demanding cruiser. I'm not into gourmet food and fine wine, I'm fairly patient, and I'm also a semi-professional musician.
We were a group of 17 relatives and friends on board from my wife's side of the family. We had the late seating for dinner.
Our 9-day Bermuda and the Caribbean cruise got off without a hitch. Embarkation at Port Liberty in Bayonne, NJ went very smooth. The process took less than 1 hour from the time we arrived at the port until we were in the Windjammer having lunch.
Leaving the NY, NJ area and passing under the Verrazano Narrows Bridge with only 18 feet of clearance between the bridge and the tallest part of the ship was quite a site!
I'll get my complaints about Royal Caribbean and the ship out of the way first. I have three minor complaints:
First, our waiter at dinner was rather slow to get us our drinks and food on the first night. I wasn't that concerned about it since it was the late seating and we typically didn't have anything pressing to do after dinner (i.e. see a show in the theatre, a special performance on board, etc.). However, my relatives were somewhat concerned and brought it up with the head waiter the next day. The following night we were given a new waiter that was to be dedicated only to our table for the rest of the cruise so I feel Royal Caribbean solved that problem to every one's satisfaction.
Second, we all wanted to get a photograph taken of the 17 of us on the first formal night. Unfortunately, the Royal Caribbean photographers were very unorganized in my opinion and we ended up waiting around for probably over an hour only to end up not getting the photo taken that night. Also, from a logistics standpoint, Royal Caribbean concentrates all the picture taking locations in the same area of the ship. Needless to say, that area becomes very crowded and confusing around dinner time. Also, one of the photo areas was located in the area right outside of the main floor of the dining room; not a great place to put it as the lines waiting for the photographer blended in with the lines waiting to get into the dining room. We talked to one of the photo gallery representatives later in the week who apologized for the problem and gave up some tips as to how to get a large group like ours photographed which we did on the next formal night so again I feel like Royal Caribbean solved that problem to every one's satisfaction.
Third, the band that played everyday on the pool deck was very good but was way too loud! I brought an mp3 player and noise cancelling headphones with me and I still had a hard time drowning out the band trying to listen to my music. Others that I was traveling with who only had ear buds with them pretty much gave up on trying to listen to their own music while the band was playing. Also, although as I said, they were very good, they mostly played reggae music the whole time. I'm not a fan of reggae so after the second day I was ready for something else! I eventually went to Guest Relations and complained about the volume of the band on the pool deck and was told they would pass the info on to the music director on board. It didn't seem to make a difference as I didn't notice any reduction in volume for the rest of the cruise. Other than those three minor complaints, the cruise was excellent.
Explorer of the Seas is a beautiful ship. The crew is very helpful and experienced. I like seafood and everything I ordered at dinner was very good. I did not have wine or other drinks with my dinner. The buffet lunches and breakfasts at The Windjammer were also very good. My wife, daughters, and I didn't use the main dining room at all for breakfast or lunch. The Cafe Promenade also served snack foods, small sandwiches, pizza, and deserts pretty much all the time and was also very good.

"Rowling should receive the Nobel."Opinion
Prolific, best-selling Chilean writer Isabel Allende, author of Daughter of Fortune and other books, said in a November 25th interview with Spanish newspaper La Razon that JK Rowling should receive the Nobel Prize.
"I admire immensely the author, I love her books and the movies based in them and I thank her, as mother and as grandmother, that she has all the children around the world reading. When I see a child of eight-years-old with a tremendous book 'Harry Potter' reading in the bus, I think that Rowling should receive the Nobel."
When the reporter asked about Allende's recent book, Forest of the Pygmies, she answered:
"Unfortunately, there is not a little detail in common between Harry Potter and my trilogy. How [much] I would wish to be able to imagine stories as fantastic as Harry Potter!"
Thanks much to El Cronista de Salem of JKRfans.com for the translation!

I am going to go out on a limb here with the following statement. I think most of us drag around some toxic baggage from our parents. It could be a negative perspective, self defeating thought patterns or a tendency to abuse our bodies.
Often when we see these unhealthy habits in our own lives, we can trace them back generations in our families. For example, you hate your body….Your mom was always on a diet…Your grandma always complained about the size of her rear end….and so it goes. It is obvious that a change must come. But there is so much dysfunction, where do we begin?
If you struggle with "inherited" bagage. Behaviors you do not want to pass down to your children and their children. I want to encourage you. You are not alone in this battle to live the life the Father has intended for you. You have power. Knowlege and determination. You are not a mindless drone. Continuing with damaging choices just because "that's the way Mom always did it..".
You can do whatever it takes to be healthy. You are brave, because the Father will make you brave. You are strong, because HE will provide the strength required to change your life. You have power as one, thanks to the power of the ONE. Your decedents will inherit from you life skills that will bring joy and peace. Not pain. Your legacy will be one of beauty. Not ugliness.

Brian Noble takes the top job at Salford
Brian Noble has today officially taken over the reigns at Super League club Salford.

He has today appealed to the game's governing body to allow Salford to break the sport's salary cap next season in the interests of promoting Rugby League in Manchester.

Under a blazing sun hundreds turned out long before the doors opened at the Wetumpka Civic Center for a chance to land a job at the Poarch Creek Indian casino.
Lemiete Brown was the first in line, the first to show up at 4:30 Wednesday morning!
"Yes! 4:30 this morning because I had heard there would be a crowd here," said Brown.
Many passed the time by texting and trying to keep cool with their umbrellas. Amanda Adams of Eclectic came prepared. Adams brought her own stool to sit on. By 8:30 the crowd had grown to around 250.
"I knew it was going to be hot so I wanted to rest while standing in line," said Adams, who hopes to land a job as a bartender.
By 11 a.m. the number had swelled to around 1,200 and they were still pouring in off the shuttle and on foot.
Casino general manager Cody Williamson knew the turnout would be huge but not quite like this.
The Creeks are spending $246 million on a new hotel and expanding their original casino. Construction started a year and a half ago.
"We didn't think it would be 1,200 this early but we'll manage. Most of them are applying in the casino and hotel," said Williamson.
Ultra McCall was among the first to be offered a job. McCall says she gladly accepted. She'll work in the housekeeping department in the hotel which is expected to open in January.
"I am very happy. I thought at first they would interview me and just have me come back in two weeks but they offered it today," said McCall.
Those standing in line are hungry for jobs and eager to get to work.

Vick out "Maybe a week, maybe two weeks"
Eagles QB Michael Vick told a Virginia radio station he will not miss much time due to the rib injury he sustained in Week Four.
Injuries to Vick, McCoy cloud picture in Philly
Just when it looked like everything in the Eagles' offense was going swimmingly, rib injuries to QB Michael Vick and RB LeSean McCoy in Week Four have drastically changed the outlook.
Eagles dealing with rib injuries for Vick, McCoy
The Eagles continue to suffer crucial offensive injuries as QB Michael Vick and RB LeSean McCoy both suffered rib-related ailments in Sunday's loss to the Redskins, leaving their availability up in the air.

Eagles QB Michael Vick left the team's Week Four game vs. the Redskins at the end of the first quarter with an apparent injury to his rib cage or collarbone.
Eagles' McCoy picking up pass responsibilities
The biggest question by far about Eagles RB LeSean McCoy last season was his ability to handle pass protection, but he has come a long way in his second year.
Suddenly valuable Vick breathing life into Philly offense
Kevin Kolb was supposed to be the guy to keep the Eagles' offense moving with Donovan McNabb off to Washington. Instead, Michael Vick has been that man.
Vick's four TDs lead Eagles past Jags
Michael Vick threw three touchdown passes, ran for another score and the Philadelphia Eagles defeated the Jacksonville Jaguars 28-3 Sunday.
Rookie Allen making positive impression on Eagles
The Eagles were hoping for good things from Nate Allen when they drafted the free safety in the second round of April's draft, and he hasn't disappointing, according to our NFC East Whispers.
McCoy in key position to help Eagles
Entering the season, there were questions about how Eagles RB LeSean McCoy might handle being the starter, but he has answered many of them so far.

Watkins, listed at 6-foot-4 and 312 pounds, played left tackle in college, but projects as a guard in the pros. He could help an offensive line that allowed 49 sacks last season, despite the presence of Michael Vick.

- Lifelong friends Wilf and Reggie, together with former colleague Cissy, are residents of Beecham House, a home for retired opera singers. Every year on Giuseppe Verdi's birthday, the residents unite to give a concert to raise funds for their home. But when Jean Horton, a former grande dame of the opera fallen on hard times, also Reggie's ex-wife, moves into the home to everyone's surprise, the plans for this year's concert start to unravel. As old grudges threaten to undermine past glories and theatrical temperaments play havoc with the rehearsal schedule, it becomes apparent that having four of the finest singers in English operatic history under one roof offers no guarantee that the show will go on.

Contact: Ethel Hill, 581-1834
The University of Maine's Explorations Program for first-year students who are undecided about a major has received one of only three certificates of merit in the Academic Affairs category from the National Academic Advising Association (NACADA). The association has more than 10,000 members in all 50 states, plus Puerto Rico and Canada, according to Ethel Hill, program director.
Students in the program take a seminar taught by one of four advisers to explore academic degree programs, campus resources and career options. The experience affords students an opportunity to assess their abilities, interests and goals while methodically investigating the variety of academic programs offered at UMaine. At the end of the first year, students are more confident not only in identifying major or minor options, but also in their abilities to succeed in higher education.
Hill says UMaine's Explorations Program may have been selected over others because of the lasting relationships advisers and students develop through counseling and the seminar. Program advisers are Emily Jirsa, Dominick Varney, Julie Loppacher,
Barbara Ouellette and Hill. Hill and Varney each have been recognized by the NACADA's Northeast Region 1 for academic advising excellence in Maine, in 2007 and 2009, respectively.
About a quarter of each first-year class comprises students who are undeclared, Hill says.

Dietra Brown had dreamed as a child of serving in the Armed Forces. But at the age of 39, just short of the age limit, she surprised everyone by joining the Army. Although her family at first was angry, they soon relented and fully backed her decision.
Brown found PT, the Army's version of getting into shape, the toughest . But soon she was doing record pushups and situps. If she found training tough, she was to find the sandstorms, blackouts, temperatures, and 14 hour days of Camp Bucca, Iraq tougher. But by that time, she was tougher too.
Brown's job was interrogating prisoners, and her camp had some of a"the worst of the worst". In spite of this, the biggest danger at the camp came from mortar attacks. After eight months Dietra Brown returned home. She's stationed at Camp Polk, Louisiana, close enough to get home often for her favorite catfish meal and her husnand James' fried chicken.

MADISON (WKOW) – C.J. Doxtater says in his previous marriages he used all forms of domestic abuse beyond the physical, "whether it was intimidation, a look, financial abuse, using the kids. The physical abuse was just the glue to hold the abuse together," he said.
Though, he fondly describes his first wife as "intelligent." He says she taught herself astronomy and how to play the guitar, "and yet she gave all of that up to support me and my drug addiction. She would fight back, but that too was part of the expectation of being in a relationship – that it would be physical," Doxtater said.
An Oneida member, Doxtater is now an outreach coordinator for End Domestic Abuse, and working to curb the violence that overtook much of his life when he was an addict and alcoholic.
He describes two main factors contributing to violence that occurs on American Indian reservations: historical trauma and jurisdictional ambiguity.
"It was a response to having everything taken away, being put on a reservation, so people were disenfranchised and trying to survive in a system that they were foreign to," Doxtater said. "For Native Americans, they took away men's roles, their decision-making, ability to take care of their families. Women had to step up even more to take care of the family, so they were out there more. In that sense, they became more vulnerable."
Nearly 4 out of 10 American Indian women have been victims of domestic violence in their lifetime, a rate higher than any other race or ethnicity surveyed by the Centers for Disease Control. They're 2.5 times more likely to be raped or sexually assaulted than other women in the U.S., according to the U.S. Department of Justice. And 70 percent of the violence they Native American women experience are committed by non-Native Americans.
"It's much worse than that," Doxtater said, attributing the numbers to underreporting. "There's not a woman in my family – and I have a very large family – that hasn't experienced some form of abuse, whether it be domestic violence or sexual assault."
More, there is a jurisdictional black hole in Indian country that has made Native-American women a target for abusers and predators, according to End Domestic Abuse policy coordinator Tony Gibart.
Until Congress passed the Violence Against Women Act in 2013, reservation police could not arrest non-Native people, meaning outsiders had impunity if they committed crimes on tribal lands. Federal police could get involved; however, some Native-women have a sense of distrust towards law enforcement, according to Doxtater.
"As a child, my first wife was raped by a police officer," Doxtater said. "That prevented her from going to the police for anything."
After his second wife left him for a shelter when he was 34, Doxtater started getting sober and got back in touch with his roots. "There came a point in my life where I couldn't live that way anymore. I was blessed with finding my traditions – everything from therapists to sweat lodges to ceremony, whatever I could do to make the change in my life," he said.
He says his work advocating for domestic abuse victims is not atonement for his past sins. "For a long time, I did see it as atonement, but an elderly woman said I couldn't use that anymore. She said men needed role models and needed to be responsible in that way. Working with domestic violence is part of my responsibility of being a good man."
Doxtater is now married for third time, this time to a non-Native woman who knows about his violent past.
"In many ways it's my first marriage because I've never been abusive. She's never seen that," Doxtater said, admitting that at times she has become scared, "but she's comfortable enough to bring it to me. So then we sit down and we address it right away."
For American Indian women, the passage of the Violence Against Women Act is only the first step, as tribes have to build judicial infrastructure around the new law, according to Gibart.
"In C.J.'s generation there's been lots of work done to reclaim those values that honor peace, honor equality, that honor women," said Gibart, who notes that after the 2014 federal budget passed, funding to tribal advocates were restored, and the passing of the state budget integrated tribal domestic violence programs with child welfare programming, allowing for advocates to tailor the needs to the programs to individuals.
"C.J. is someone who is a testament to that. His life shows how things are getting better," he said.
