At Coronado High School Coach Monte George practices hard. But even after pushing his girls soccer team to the limit, they still come back asking for more. And, for Jennifer Dane nominating her coach, Monte George was an easy decision. "I nominated him because he puts a team effort into the sport." stated Dane.
And it is this team effort that Coach George knows his girls will use in their games. "Soccer is a players game, and not a coaches game. My job is in practice, it is to work them and get them prepared for the game. And the game is their job." remarks George. And it is durring practice where Coach George has been known to be tough on his girls, but the girls soccer team at coronado keeps asking for more. "The girls have asked me to be tougher and a little harder on them." said Coach George.
And after a full season of playing George hopes that his team walks away with a sense of accomplishment. "And they are going to have enjoyed it because they have worked hard and they have hopefully reaped the benefits of all their hard work." said George. Next week we go from the soccer field to a "one of a kind" classroom to meet an inspiring art teacher.

When the annual Domestic Violence Awareness Vigil happened this past fall, it was a rainy night, and planners didn't think many folks would show at the Blount County Justice Center.
They were wrong.
"This year it really came home to me. The weather was bad. It was cold and damp, and we really didn't think many people would come," District Attorney Mike Flynn said. "It was one of bigger crowds we've ever had come out to participate and show their support for victims."
"We did have a huge turnout this year," said Monica Aistrop, a credentialed victims advocate specializing in domestic violence.
Flynn said it's important to stop and recognize there is still a problem with domestic violence in the community.
"There are people who are trying to make a difference in lives of victims. That's why we recognize police officers each year who work hard to assist victims," said Flynn. "And we also want victims to realize there are people in the community who really care and want to make things better, and there is help there for them."
Aistrop said the vigil started around 1997 and Domestic Violence Awareness Month has been going on about 13 years.
During the vigil, the following officers were honored for their work in dealing with domestic violence: Officer Brett Romer with Alcoa Police Department, Officer Matt Caldwell with APD, Officer Laramy Gregory with Maryville Police Department and Detective Jennifer Shudan with Blount County Sheriff's Office.
Aistrop said it is important to bring the awareness of what is happening in the community with domestic violence. "People need to realize once again it's not just poor people or lower income people, it happens to all social economic backgrounds," she said. "I had a victim who was with her father in the courtroom and he said, 'We don't belong here.' Bottom line is, it does happen in all social economic backgrounds, and it's important young people learn the signs of domestic violence so they don't just accept it."

Brian won the Olympics in 1988. He won the World Championship in 1986 and 1988, and he won the United States title four times: 1985 to 1988.
In 1996, he was inducted into the World Figure Skating Hall of Fame and the U.S. Figure Skating Hall of Fame.
After turning professional in 1988, Brian won six World Professional Championship titles.
He received nine perfect marks of 6.0 as a competitor. He received eight 6.0s after his short program performance at the U.S. Nationals in 1988.
Brian Boitano is a graduate of Peterson High School in Sunnyvale, California.
Brian had one coach throughout his entire amateur figure skating career. Her name was Linda Leaver.

After the initial phase of the competition, the short program, Brian Orser finished first and Brian Boitano finished second. Then, Boitano skated the performance of his life and won. During that performance, he landed eight triple jumps including two triple axels and a triple flip triple toe loop combination.
That performance in 1988 is considered to be among the very best in the history of figure skating.

This paper presents the design and the current prototype implementation of an interactive vocal information retrieval system that can be used to access articles of a large newspaper archive using a telephone. The implementation of the system highlights the limitations of current voice information retrieval technology, in particular of speech recognition and synthesis. We present our evaluation of these limitations and address the feasibility of intelligent interactive vocal information access systems.

Time to honour bomber heroes
3:18pm Thursday 27th December 2012 in Letters
WELL much to my surprise the government has done a u-turn and decided to award an Arctic Convoy medal, something I thought would never happen, so hopefully Mr H Griffiths of Ystrad Mynach will get the medal that he richly deserves before he passes on.
However, the question of a medal for the 55,573 men of Bomber Command who made the ultimate sacrifice still remains open and now a medal should also be awarded to these men. They went out night after night on operations that certainly brought the war to end by years and that should be recognised by this government.
They lost 44.4 per cent of their total, far higher losses than any other service, had a life expectancy of six weeks in situations that were far more dangerous than a lot of mercantile events and lost thousands more men than the merchant navy and yet their efforts have still gone unrecognised. I now call on Newport city councillors to petition the government for a Bomber Command medal.

Shortly after the referee incorrectly waved off Bayern's penalty shout when Arjen Robben was fouled by Serder Tasci, the Bavarians had earned a second penalty. This time the referee made the correct decision.
Philipp Lahm streaked into the penalty area and was tripped up by Ibrahima Traore. The referee immediately blew the whistle and pointed to the penalty spot. The kick fell onto the shoulders of Thomas Müller, and the 23 year old sent Sven Ulreich the opposite direction before banging it into the left side of the net. With 37 minutes gone, Bayern finally had their lead at 1-0.
Obviously, the goal here for Stuttgart is to grab a goal and pull themselves level with Bayern. However, they must work hard here to not concede another goal (or two) before the half. Bayern like to score in bunches, and they would love to put the death nail in Stuttgart before the first half comes to an end.

You will also discuss how you will be joining First Presbyterian. There are three methods by which members join the Church. If you are a new Christian, have never been baptized and are not a member of a Church currently, you will join by
Profession of Faith
and be baptized into Christ's Church. If you are a Christian and are a member of a Church that is not part of our affiliation (The Presbyterian Church in America), you will join by
Reaffirmation of Faith.
If you are a member of a Church within The Presbyterian Church in America, you will join by
Transfer of Church Letter.
Step Three - Meet with the Session
After meeting with the Minister you will be invited to a Session meeting. At this meeting you will have an opportunity to meet the Elders of the Church, take your membership vows, and officially become a member of the Church. The membership vows are:
1. Do you acknowledge yourself to be a sinner in the sight of God, justly deserving His displeasure, and without hope save in His sovereign mercy?
2. Do you believe in the Lord Jesus Christ as the Son of God and Savior of sinners, and do you receive and rest upon Him alone for salvation as He is offered in the Gospel?
3. Do you now resolve and promise, in humble reliance upon the grace of the Holy Spirit, that you will endeavor to live as becomes the followers of Christ?
4. Do you promise to support the Church in its worship and work to the best of your ability?
5. Do you submit yourself to the government and discipline of the Church, and promise to study its purity and peace?
Step Four - Be Introduced to the Congregation
On the next Sunday following the meeting with the Session, all of the new members will be introduced to the rest of the First Presbyterian family at the worship service.
First Presbyterian Church welcomes all who wish to worship, grow, and follow our Lord together by becoming members of our Church. If you have questions or would simply like to discuss membership our Minister, please do not hesitate to contact our office and make an appointment. Membership is a four step process at First Presbyterian.
Step One - Attend a New Member Class
These classes are offered through out the year. It is an informal class that will give you a view of Christianity, First Presbyterian Church, and your place as a member.
Step Two - Meet with the Minister
After you have completed the New Member Class you will meet with our Minister to discuss any questions you may have about membership. This is also an opportunity for you to talk to our Minister about your faith and your commitment to Christianity.

Mali Islamist gangs: France taking the fight to radical Islamists
(CNN) -- French troops, on the ground and in the air in dusty and dangerous Mali, are taking the fight to radical Islamists there, French President Francois Hollande said Friday.
"French military forces have brought their support to the Malian forces this afternoon to fight against these terrorist elements," said Hollande, speaking from the Elysee Palace in Paris "This operation will last as long as it is necessary. I will regularly inform the French people about its course."
It is not immediately known how many French troops are deployed in the country. But French Foreign Minister Laurent Fabius said the French military has launched airstrikes.
"Mali is facing an aggression by terrorist elements," Hollande said. "Mali is facing a terrorist aggression in the north and the whole world is aware of their brutality and extremism. Today it is therefore the very existence of this friendly state that is at stake, as is the security of its population and of our own 6,000 citizens living there."
France, which has troops in many locations in Africa, had been saying it wouldn't send combat troops Mali and has pledged to scale back on intervening in local politics and conflicts in Africa. For example, it turned down a request to intervene in the Central Africa Republic, where an insurgency flared.
So this Mali operation underlines the seriousness France's concern over its former colony. French hostages have been taken in neighboring Niger by al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb. Paris is trying to contain any further militant expansion in the heart of Africa.
Northern Mali has been occupied by radical Islamists, who moved in after fighting broke out in January 2012 between government forces and Tuareg rebels. West African states and international leaders, worried about an al Qaeda foothold, say a rapid military intervention is essential to solving the security crisis in Mali.
Hundreds of thousands of Malians have been uprooted because of proliferation of armed groups, drought and political instability after a coup d'etat in March.
Hollande said the country is in consulting with the United Nations and "intervening within the framework of international law." He said Parliament will be consulted on the operation as early as Monday.
"The terrorists must know that France will always be there whenever the rights of a country that strives for freedom and democracy are threatened, not just when its core interests are at stake," he said..
The U.N. Security Council on Friday cited "grave concern over the reported military movements and attacks by terrorist and extremist groups" in northern Mali.
"This serious deterioration of the situation threatens even more the stability and integrity of Mali and constitutes a direct threat to international peace and security," the council said Thursday night.
Last month, the council authorized a one-year military peacekeeping mission in Mali. The African-led International Support Mission in Mali aims to help rebuild the capacity of Mali's security and defense forces and to help Malian authorities recover the areas in the north.
A regional group, the Economic Community of West African States, already pledged thousands of troops to the mission, and the Security Council urged other member states to contribute troops.
The Malian government and rebel groups are expected to meet for peace talks in Burkina Faso's capital, Ouagadougou, on January 21.
Mali held its first democratic elections in 1992 after decades of military rule.
It had a mostly strong democracy until last March, when a group of soldiers toppled the government, saying it had not provided adequate equipment for them to fight ethnic Tuareg rebels roaming the vast desert in the north.
The Tuareg rebels, who staged decades of rebellions in their desire for independence, took advantage of the power vacuum and seized parts of the north. The rebels were well armed; they had fought alongside Libyan leader Moammar Gadhafi, and when he was killed in October 2011, they returned to Mali with weapons.
A power struggle then erupted in the north between the Tuaregs and local al Qaeda-linked radicals, who prevailed and seized control of large parts of the desert north. The international community voiced concerns about al Qaeda in the Islamic Maghreb and expanding its presence in Mali.
The al Qaeda wing is linked to the deadly attack in Benghazi, Libya, that killed the U.S. ambassador to Libya and three others last year, U.S. officials have said.
The militants in the north have already applied their strict interpretation of Sharia law by banning music, smoking, drinking and watching sports on television. They also publicly stoned a couple to death in July, reportedly for having an affair.
Public executions, amputations, floggings and other inhumane punishments are becoming common, the United Nations says.
At least four times this year, the militants have attacked Timbuktu's historic tombs and shrines, claiming
Tuareg rebels retreated from the well-armed militants but have vowed to fight back and establish their own country in the north, which they call Azawad.

Dynamite Bay is a stunning bay in Green Head which is sheltered from the strong winds off the coast by a low lying rocky cliff that circles around the beach. Swim in the calm turquoise waters or laze on the soft sandy beach. Make a day of it and bring along a picnic that can be enjoyed on the sand or on the grassed area overlooking the beach.
The still waters provide the perfect conditions for snorkelling. Witness the abundant marine life including hard and soft corals and a diverse range of fish that reside within the bay.
Take a walk out along the rocky peninsula to watch windsurfers tackling the winds out in the ocean and look back towards the shore for a beautiful photograph of the bay. Cast a fishing line out into the ocean and try and catch your evening meal.
Greenhead is a charming coastal town three and a half hours drive north west of Perth. Dynamite Bay is a short 15 minute walk from the town centre or a two minute drive. A car park is available at the bay.

McMurry may pass $35M goal
Officials at McMurry University said Wednesday the Shaping the Future fundraising campaign has produced $34.7 million, and they expect to exceed the goal of $35 million before the final report luncheon Oct. 16.
"We're at the end of the campaign, and we are still receiving gifts," said Steve Crisman, vice president of institutional advancement. "We are making final appeals online and through personal visits, and we expect to exceed our $35 million goal."
Crisman said the final total will be announced by campaign co-chairpersons Dian Stai and Bynum Miers at a luncheon Oct. 16 in Kimbrell Arena during homecoming weekend. The campaign officially was launched at a dinner in March 2008 at Abilene Civic Center.
"We have achieved many of our goals," Crisman added.
He said to date 1,703 individual gifts have been received, and 36 new endowed scholarships have been established. The campaign is funding four goals — endowed scholarships for students, faculty support and enrichment, construction, and additional enhancement of two of the university's primary academic programs, science and mathematics.
The first construction project was the building of the new Furr Welcome Center. Also, remodeling and renovation have been conducted at Bynum Band Hall, Jay-Rollins Library, Radford Auditorium, Moore Stadium and Finch-Gray Science Center.
Crisman said in May 2011 the Old Main Administration Building will close for remodeling to complete the construction projects funded by the campaign.

Flower Power
Here on Manhattan's Upper West Side, nursery schools ask a lot of their parents. They ask us to spend the entire day after Labor Day speed-redialing their offices just to request application forms for the coming year. Once we're in, they ask us to pay some of the highest tuitions in the country. And so it's only fitting that the concept of "snack parent" takes on a different meaning here as well.
At our childrens' former nursery school, a different set of parents came in each Friday to read to the class, bring a snack, and otherwise make their child feel special. We were all also encouraged to bring flowers, which at first seemed an odd (and possibly expensive) request, though the teachers said we could be creative with it.
So when my turn came around, instead of buying a fragrant centerpiece that was sure to be ignored in the presence of cupcakes, I went online and printed out a stack of simple coloring pages of various flower varieties.
I worried about whether there would be enough pages to go around, or if the pages would even be welcome. What if everyone wanted to color lilies and we ran out? What if the kids complained that their special table had no real flowers?
In the end, my son assured me it was a good idea, and I printed out at least six of each flower variety. I offered them almost apologetically to the kids at the end of our snack time, but they were thrilled.
They all gave serious thought to which page they should take, they asked if they could bring home extras for their siblings, they even told their parents at pick-up time that they wanted to stay and start coloring their flowers.
The lesson, of course, is that simple ideas work, worrying is never productive, and above all, preschoolers love a good coloring project.
So the next time you're about to buy an expensive box of cards with a huge picture of your child's favorite TV character and only two tiny lines to write on, head for your computer printer instead. Your wallet — and your child's inner-artist — will thank you.

I'm torn - I'm grateful for the road improvements, but there has already been tremendous disruption along this major road. They have already had various "phases" of work!
My sincere hope is this work can be accelerated, rather than dragged out, like what happens with some public road projects.

Really? Thats got to happen this coming week huh? First week of school? With Charleston practically impassible, how exactly are they thinking we get from East to West in South Palo Alto?
Can we get a solid confirmation that Charleston is going to be returned to full traffic flow before this other artery is choked off?

Hey Parent, it will take you a little longer for the next few weeks. Plan ahead and deal with it.

When I first noticed the fabric I immediately new I liked it. The thing I didn't expect was that it was so hard to handle. First, it has irregular square pattern: it means that I had to cut it in one layer trying my best to match the colour scheme. Second, it cost me 4(!) broken needles and several evenings of hand sewing.
The skirt is lined, all the seams are finished with bias tape, invisible zipper (second time in my life).
The pattern is based on 8/2011 126A.

'Freedom Matters' to address U.S. trafficking
February 12, 2013
Human trafficking in the United States will be the focus of a conference, Freedom Matters, sponsored by the Bryan chapter of Students Stopping the Trafficking of Persons Monday through Wednesday, February 18-20.
|Katherine Chon
Keynote speaker will be Katherine Chon, senior advisor on trafficking in persons in the immediate office of the assistant secretary, administration of children and families in the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services and co-founder of the Polaris Project, one of the largest anti-trafficking organizations in the United States.
Bryan Professor of Bible Dr. Ken Turner will open the conference with a chapel presentation Feb. 18 on the spiritual foundation for fighting human trafficking. Also on the schedule are presentations by a number of anti-trafficking and after-care organizations, mainly from Atlanta. "Atlanta is one of the top cities in the U.S. for trafficking in and out of the country," Mr. Norquist said.
"We want to ask the question, 'As believers who live in a world that includes slavery, what is God calling us to do; how should we respond?"
The conference is another in a growing list of programs at Bryan that are addressing modern slavery, he said. "Our ultimate goal is to graduate students who are aware of and are addressing slavery in the world from the perspective of the Gospel."
Conference sessions are open to the public without charge. For more information, click here.

Innovative products heat up HPBExpo
April 1, 2009-- Casual Living,
The Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Expo brought the latest grill, patio furniture, accessories and hearth innovations to Reno, Nev., last month.
Most of the vendors asked described the March 19-21 show as good while extreme descriptions ranged from fantastic to steady to slow. A number of exhibitors were new to the show while many returning vendors used it as an opportunity to make product extensions.
The New Product Pavilion was busy early in the show and educational seminars were full, although overall attendance appeared less than last year's HPBExpo in Atlanta and two years ago when the show was last in Reno. Display booths were generally smaller and many vendors displayed either indoors or out, when they previously have taken booths in both spots.
With the NCAA basketball tournament playing on two screens inside its booth, Team Grill appealed to the interests of sports fans with high-end gas grills customized to match the popular logos and colors of 18 universities. The first teams included the national champion Florida Gators, Oklahoma Sooners, UNC Tar Heels, Michigan Wolverines and Georgia Bulldogs. Additional schools, franchises and brands will be added to the licensing agreement over time.
"College sports fans are the most passionate and dedicated when it comes to their teams," said John Upham, executive vice president. "With the introduction of the Team Grill line of patio and tailgating grills, students, alumni and fans everywhere can always show their support, while hosting a backyard barbecue or tailgating before the big game."
From innovative and affordable grills and smokers to state-of-the-art outdoor kitchens, the Hearth, Patio & Barbecue Association announced the industry's latest trends and hottest products. Shipping more than 16.7 million grills and smokers in 2008, the industry reached a new height as 77% – three out of four households – own an outdoor grill or smoker.

reusable, comfortable and luxurious. Whether you're a pre-teen that just
started your period, blissfully pregnant, a nursing mom, or someone that

Enjoy the comfort & softness of organic cotton during your time of the month. Hidden layers of microfiber terry layers provides maximum absorbency. Breathable laminated polyester backing prevents leakage.
Wash your Pink Daisy pads prior to first use. Snap pads around your underwear so the tag side faces down.
Change pad every 2-6 hours or as needed. When you are away from home, place the used pads in a Mini Bag until you return home. Then wash per care instructions. Avoid washing the pads in public facilities. Pink Daisy pads are meant for personal use only, and should not be shared with others.
For one cycle, we recommend between
6-12 small/medium pads and

Made in the USA
Wash your Pink Daisy pads prior to first use.
General wash & care: Rinse or soak in cold water. Hand or machine wash cold or warm cycle. Line dry or tumble dry.
Do not use fabric softener. It will coat the pads and make them water repellent and reduce their absorbency. Be aware that if you use dryer sheets in your dryer for other laundry this can coat your dryer and transfer to your pads.
Do not use bleach. This will cause the fabric's fibers to break down. It will also cause the waterproof layer of the pad to de-laminate.
Stains. Should staining occur, try laying your pads out in the sun, or use an oxygen-based bleach.

|Storm prediction near perfect; more snow on the way
|Wednesday, February 05, 2014 9:00 PM
Times Bulletin Editor
VAN WERT — Area residents dug out on Wednesday after nine inches of snow blanketed the region Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning. The prediction of 9.5 inches from the National Weather Service was very close to being right on target.
"Everything pretty much came in as we thought they would," noted Van Wert County Emergency Management Agency Director Rick McCoy. "It was much the same as an earlier storm but we didn't have such high winds and the temperatures did not plummet."
The storm total was 8.5 inches in Delphos, 9.0 inches in Van Wert and in Celina. Spencerville, Columbus Grove and Bellefontaine received 8.0 inches; Grover Hill reported 9.5 inches; and Greenville saw 10.0 inches of snow.
Area school districts called off Wednesday classes and delayed today's sessions early Wednesday evening. Most businesses were open on Wednesday, although several opened a few hours late.
McCoy had good news and bad news about future winter forecasts this season. First, the predicted weather system that is due in the Midwest this weekend will pass to the south of this area. However a clipper coming out of the north could still give the area one to two more inches of snow Saturday night and Sunday. The next storm system is also due to miss this area to the south on Tuesday.
"It will be nice to get out of that pattern of having a new storm every few days," McCoy said.
The snow from the latest storm brings the seasonal total in Van Wert County to 51.3 inches — more than 20 inches higher than the seasonal average for snowfall.
McCoy is not sure if this winter could end up as one of the snowiest on record. The winter of 1978 dropped 83 inches and the winter of 1982 saw 82 inches fall on Van Wert County.
"With the patterns we are seeing, totals like that still could happen," he cautioned.

By Mark E. Vogler
---- — METHUEN — Louann Santos loves the New England Patriots so much she's raising her three children to be among the next generation of the team's fanatical fans.
Santos' 5-month-old twins Zachary and Alana aren't walking and talking yet, but are already being weaned on their mom's passion for the team.
The tots, along with their 3-year-old brother Jake, will be dressed in Patriots outfits when they sit down in front of the 47-inch flat screen TV in the family room of the Santos home to watch the Pats play the Baltimore Ravens tomorrow night in their AFC Championship showdown. The winner advances to the Super Bowl in two weeks.
"Until they're old enough to make their own decisions, they will be Patriots fans," Santos, 35, said. "And if they're smart, they'll stay Pats fans."
"I got it from my dad. He got me into football at a very young age and it's been passed down to my kids. I remember running around with one of my dad's Patriots T-shirts. I think I was 6-years-old and it probably went down to my ankle," she recalled.
Her dad, Louis Ouellette, 66, lives next door and is a frequent guest in the Santos home on game day.
A true blue Patriots marriage
Santos practically owes her marriage to her longtime love affair with the Pats. At least, that's what drew her husband Greg, a Rhode Island native, and her together. They met through an online computer connection more than a decade ago.
"My screen name was Patriots Girl," Santos said.
"That interested him and we started talking. That's how everything started. I drove down to Rhode island to meet him. It was 10 years in July that we had our first date," she said.
They got engaged at Gillette Stadium during a Pats game and their November 2007 wedding (the year the Pats rolled through a perfect 16-0 regular season) had a Patriots theme. She wore a red, white and blue Pats garter under her wedding dress. Soon after the Super Bowl, they went to Hawaii for their honeymoon to watch the NFL Pro Bowl game.
Game Day has truly become a family affair in the Santos home. Greg prepares a Mexican dip and "an awesome bowl of chilli," according to Santos.
"I make my famous macaroni and cheese and a calzone," she said.
"The main ritual; I always have to make sure I have my Tedy Bruschi jersey on before the game starts, and it has to stay on for the entire game," Santos said.
"I would give anything to meet Tedy. That's definitely on my bucket list. Wes Welker is my favorite current player," she said .
Other game day rituals
"We make sure the kids have their Patriots gear on and are ready to go," Santos said.
"I have to be there at kick-off. I can't miss kickoff. I get angry when my husband tries to change the channel even if it's during a commercial. I have to hide the remote control from Greg. I don't allow him to change the channel because I don't want to miss a second of the game," she said.
Anyone who knows Santos knows she wears her Pats pride on her body. When she flashes her finger nails, they reveal "Pats Girl." She also sports a "Flying Elvis" Patriots tattoo on her left shoulder.
She proclaims her Pats pride on her car too, with a license plate that reads "Pats 12."
"I pay $75 a year for the vanity Patriots license plate," Santos said.
"I've had them since before the first Super Bowl (victory in 2002) and I haven't let them go and don't plan on it either," she said.
Santos' passion won her a trip to the 2008 Super Bowl. She was selected from thousands of contestants to appear on "The Ellen DeGeneres Show" in Hollywood, where she competed for a coveted ticket to the big game.
She was among those Pats fans who watched a heart-breaking loss to the New York Giants, but it was still a Pats fan's memory of a lifetime.
The Santos home is a gallery of Pats memorabilia, including an aluminum bench from the old Foxboro Stadium.
These days, Santos sets her sights on developing Pats memories for her kids.
When she was eight months pregnant with Jake, she recalled going to a Patriots game
Jake has since been exposed to a lot of Patriots football in his young life. He got a Rob Gronkowski jersey for Christmas and has an assortment of Pats outfits, from pajamas to casual child's clothes.
"Jake has been watching football since he was born," Santos said.
The twins are watching plenty of football, too.
"A week after they were born was the Patriots' first pre-season game," Santos said.
"I made sure they were right in front of that TV. I made sure they're not going to miss any games. They each have their own outfits. My husband's aunt handmade them. And they'll be dressed and watching the AFC Championship game," she said.
"Until they fall asleep ... unless we wake them up from screaming and yelling and excitement of the game," she said.

Albany -- Science is one of those subjects people either love or they hate, but when you add in a little fun, with education, it can turn even the hardest hearts. This week, some Albany kids got the chance to learn just how fun science can be.
"Three, two, one... Dud!" said Rocket Launcher Andrew Bloing.
Okay, so not every science experiment goes as planned.
But when it does... "It's cool," says 12-year old Tia Robinson. She participated in this week's summer program at Thronateeska.
The focus was on science. Good training for Tia since she wants to be a chemist. "I learned that chemists go over their mistakes and everything and they have to make sure to fix their mistakes so they won't make mistakes next time."
And there were a few mistakes today-- another dud-- but the kids learned how to fix them, and the results were amazing. "They would learn like, Is it magic or is it science? And how behind magic there's science and how it's fun, so hopefully that will get them inspired during school time for them to really get into it during school time," says Camp Counselor Veronica Martinez.
Looks like the plan is working. Science may just become all of these kids favorite subject. "When it's finished being pumped, he's going to pull it, going to pull it, pull the string and the hook there is going to come out and it's going to go up." How high? "They say 60 feet." Maybe even higher.
But if you want to challenge Tia. "All you need is like a bottle, a pump and you just stick it here in some water and it will fly."
In addition to the water rockets, the students also had a chance to experience the NASA flight simulator at ASU, played science jeopardy, made solar hotdogs and even gas bombs. That apparently was the favorite.

When Duchene was out of the lineup, O'Reilly tallied 19 points in 23 games (0.83). When he was in the lineup, O'Reilly managed 36 in 58 (0.62). A healthy Duchene hurts O'Reilly.Dobber Hockey Fantasy Guide Via PuckDaddy A ppg average of 0.62 still puts O'Reilly at 50 points over a full 82 regular season games. He had 55 to lead the team in scoring this past year. Is 50 a more realistic ceiling for O'Reilly? Will he bump down to the third center on the totem pole this season? Thoughts?

Gabriel Country Forest corrupt: "Does no more now"News on Gabriel Country Forest's hip injury against Russia. Sweden coach Pär Mårts said, "It's all right. He got a bang. We take him away so that we do not challenge fate."
Downie, by the way, has been playing hurt for about three weeks with a shoulder injury. He might have a slight separation in fact. And Duchene has also been playing hurt. His ankle/knee are not 100 percent.In a recent mailbag, Dater confirmed what some, including me, have posited regarding Downie's lack of production. It is also worth stating that Duchene is in the same boat as Downie, so any leeway we give Downie, should also be given to Duchene, who, as stated before, is not the same player as in the beginning of the season. I think it's fair to call him out for his performance pre-injury, but expecting an 80-point player after it is just unfair. I realise expectations are higher with him, but that doesn't give one the right to criticise excessively.

Filipinos are now the second largest Asian American immigrant group in the United States, with a population larger than Japanese Americans and Korean Americans combined. Surprisingly, there is little published on Filipino Americans and their religion, or the ways in which their religious traditions may influence the broader culture in which they are becoming established.
Filipino American Faith in Action draws on interviews, survey data, and participant observation to shed light on this large immigrant community. It explores Filipino American religious institutions as essential locations for empowerment and civic engagement, illuminating how Filipino spiritual experiences can offer a lens for viewing this migrant community's social, political, economic, and cultural integration into American life. Gonzalez examines Filipino American church involvement and religious practices in the San Francisco Bay Area and in the Phillipines, showing how Filipino Americans maintain community and ethnic and religious networks, contra assimilation theory, and how they go about sharing their traditions with the larger society.
Joaquin Jay Gonzalez is Associate Professor of Politics and Director of the Yuchengco Philippine Studies Program at the University of San Francisco. After the September 11 terrorist attacks, he was appointed San Francisco Commissioner for Immigrant Rights and Mayor George Christopher Chair in Public Administration at Golden Gate University. He is the author or co-author of several books, including On the Corner of Bliss and Nirvana; Welcome to the Philippines; and Governance Innovations in the Asia-Pacific Region.
";In this academic page turner Gonzalez blends rich ethnographic descriptions with theoretical sophistication. Filipino American Faith in Action is THE book on the importance of religion for the Filipino migrant community. Gonzalez breaks new ground in the emerging field of religion and immigration with his use of diverse theoretical tools and compelling narratives. A must read."
"The 'missionized' and 'diasporized' Christians of the global South are here in our midst . . . transforming the social, religious, and political landscape in places they are finding receptive soils, and . . . challenging us to think and act in new ways. Gonzalez's work speaks of this reality not in abstraction, but through the breathing stories of Filipino diaspora Christian communities in San Francisco, California. Finally, a book that I have been waiting for has arrived."
"Breaks new ground in Asian American Studies and more broadly in migration studies by illustrating the transnational and intergenerational civic engagement of migrants through religion. . . . An eminently important study that expands our knowledge of Filipino migrant settlement in the United States."


text: I have a feeling tomorrows coverage of the game is going to blow due to hundreds of mentions about Robbie and his knee. I'd like to avoid that and listen to Cliz. I live in Central Ohio and cannot pick up Indiana radio stations. Does anybody know of a radio station that broadcasts the game with Cliz over the internet via the "Listen Live" button that most radio station websites have? If so, please provide me with a link!

Parking is an issue at this location. Nearest lot is across the street, but the only offer pay-and-display that is good through midnight. No way to pay for parking overnight, so there is a worry that your car will be towed before you arise or leave in the morning. The hotel should make some arrangements with a local lot to provide secure guest parking.

The lobby and rooms were nicely appointed. Probably one of the nicer lobbies I've seen - really pleasant to just hang out in.
The echoes and slightly dim lighting of the hallways reminded me of elementary school and just didn't give me the luxury vibe. The lighting room also gives it a rather downbeat feeling. I think some bright sconce lighting in both halls and rooms would really give some much needed energy without compromising the historical gravity of the re-purposed courthouse.

The Seattle Seahawks were without running back Marshawn Lynch at practice for the second straight day on Thursday as he is sidelines by a foot injury. The back played in the final minutes of the team's Wild Card win over the Washington Redskins, but it did appear that more carries than usual were given to backup Robert Turbin as the Seahawks tried to salt the game away.
Defensive backs Jeron Johnson and Byron Maxwell also missed practice on Thursday as both battle hamstring injuries.
Atlanta is healthy in most spots except the secondary, where a number of players are banged up. The Falcons saw safety Charles Mitchell return to practice after sitting out on Wednesday. Mitchell has been dealing with a calf issue. Cornerback Chris Owens did not practice as he recovers from a hamstring injury.
Safety William Moore and defensive end John Abraham were both limited in practice. Moore didn't play in the team's last four games as he recovered from a hamstring problem, and Abraham is fighting an ankle injury suffered in the team's regular-season finale.
