After mounting two comebacks and surviving three overtimes in their win against Division in the Class A on Wednesday, the South Side Lady Cyclones refused to let the opportunity for a Long Island Championship crown slip by against Islip on Saturday.
Sophomore Christina Klaum scored the lone, decisive goal in a 1-0 win over Islip at Denton Avenue Park, securing South Side's 23rd Long Island Championship and a spot in the state semifinals starting next weekend.
Assisted by Michaela Lynch on the goal, Klaum controlled Lynch's bouncing cross, then finished by putting it in the back of the net, a strategy that Klaum said she has implemented all season.
"I saw the goalie running at me and I just knew I had to get a foot on it or something," said Klaum, who's racked up 18 goals in the 2011 season. "We've been working on that all season — just anything in the back of the net to get the goal."
"Michaela's cross was great," she added. "I thought it was going to be on the floor but it was bouncing which worked great."
South Side head coach Shannon McEntee said Klaum has been an inspiration to her team, even though she's only a sophomore.
"She really has wanted this," McEntee said. "She's talented. It doesn't matter what year you are, when you have that amount of talent and drive, you're going to make things happen."
Saturday's win was the first Long Island Championship for McEntee, who is in her second year as head coach at South Side.
"It feels fantastic, I'm so happy for them," said McEntee, adding that it felt especially great after last year's devastating loss in the county finals to Garden City.
With less than nine minutes left on the clock, Islip nearly knotted the score, but the play was quickly dismissed once referees noted South Side goalkeeper Kelsey Berki had possession of the ball until it was knocked out of her hands by the opposing team.
"You can't attack the keeper like that," McEntee said of the play. "[Berki] had possession and you just can't do that."
Before heading to the state finals next weekend, McEntee said her teams still need to refocus on certain aspecs of their game.
"We need to work on the speed of play, getting the ball back on the ground and a little quicker movement," she said. "A couple of extra goals would be nice."

Arbroath Abbey
Arbroath Abbey Review
Founded in 1178, Arbroath Abbey is an unmistakable presence in the town center; it seems to straddle whole streets, as if the town were simply ignoring the red-stone ruin in its midst. Surviving today are remains of the church, as well as one of the most complete examples in existence of an abbot's residence. From here in 1320 a passionate plea was sent by King Robert the Bruce (12744–1329) and the Scottish Church to Pope John XXII (circa 12454–1334) in far-off Rome. The pope had until then sided with the English kings, who adamantly refused to acknowledge Scottish independence. The Declaration of Arbroath stated firmly, "It is in truth not for glory, nor riches, nor honours that we are fighting, but for freedom—for that alone, which no honest man gives up but with life itself." Some historians describe this plea, originally drafted in Latin, as the single most important document in Scottish history. The pope advised English king Edward II (12844–1327) to make peace, but warfare was to break out along the border from time to time for the next 200 years. The excellent visitor center recounts this history in well-planned displays.

As the first girl born to the Nachimada family in over 60 years, the beautiful Devi is the object of adoration of her entire family. Strong-willed and confident, she befriends the shy Devanna, a young boy whose mother has died under tragic circumstances. The two quickly become inseparable, until Devi meets Machu the tiger killer, a hunter of great repute and a man of much honour and pride. Soon they fall deeply in love, an attraction that drives a wedge between Devi and Devanna. It is this tangled relationship among the three that leads to a devastating tragedy—an event that forever changes their fates and has unforeseen and far-reaching consequences for generations to come.
"Set in Southern India at the end of the nineteenth century, Mandanna's magnificent debut follows the fortunes of two childhood friends throughout their lives. Precocious, sparkling Devi, adored by her parents, reaches out to Devanna, whose mother left his father and committed suicide, leaving the boy's place in his family uncertain. Devi and Devanna become the closest of friends, but as they grow older, Devanna develops feelings for Devi that she doesn't share. Devi has eyes for only one man, Machu, a cousin of Devanna's who is renowned for killing a tiger during a hunt.
When Devi reaches her teens, she pursues the older Machu, vowing he's the only man she'll marry. Devanna studies science and herbal remedies with a German missionary, who thinks of him as a son and helps him gain entrance to a university in Bangalore to study medicine. A brutish fellow student makes Devanna's experience at the university miserable, and a final monstrous transgression sends Devanna running back home to commit an act that will change the course of his life and Devi's forever. Once the story gets going, it is impossible to stop reading Mandanna's spellbinding epic."
—Kristine Huntley, Book List
"If this summer requires a must-read blockbuster, this debut should fill the beach-bag nicely. A leisurely family saga that unwinds from the 1870s to 1930s, it takes us to the Coorg highlands of southern India and a tortuous love triangle among the coffee growing clans. As it tangles like the jungle and rolls like the hills, Mandanna's cross-generational melodrama seasons its soapy pleasures with lavish evocations of the landscapes and the times."
—The Independent
"With that kind of expectation and with all that money at stake, a lot is riding on this book but does it live up to the billing? Reader, it does... This book is a staggering achievement, especially as it's a first novel... Sarita is a major new talent."
—Virginia Blackburn, Daily Express
"Sumptuously lyrical prose unfurls this utterly engrossing epic tale that'll seduce you from page one and hold you in its arms, breathless until the last word".

—Adheesha Sarkar, The Telegraph
Why I Wrote Tiger Hills
By Sarita Mandanna
It was an ancient custom in Coorg to bury the umbilical cord of a newborn. Past the jungle undergrowth, tucked among root and shale, deep into the earth. It served as a talisman, it was believed, a beacon showing the way home. So that no matter how far one went, no matter the distance nor the passage of time, ever this electric longitude pointed towards home.
Perhaps inevitably then, when I began to write Tiger Hills six years ago, Coorg was the setting that naturally unfurled. My words, echoing my grandfather's as he told us stories around an oil lamp. The great-grandmother, widowed young, who walked her fields alone, a dagger tucked into her blouse. These stories and others, my roots, sunk for generations into these hills.
While Coorg forms the highly personalized canvas of Tiger Hills, I wanted to write a story almost classical in structure—a large narrative, whose characters struggle with universal themes. What do we do when thrust into circumstances not of our choosing? Tiger Hills explores the nexus between fortitude and acceptance, the choices we make in the aftermath of happenstance and the far-reaching impact they can carry. Determined not to be victimized, Devi fights for happiness the best she can. She isn't always easy to like and makes some decisions that are far from right. And yet, who was truly the victim and who was the aggressor?
As she forges a life for herself within the parameters decided for her, Devi hardens. To such an extent, however, that she becomes wedded to a version of happiness too rooted in memory to ever become real. When is it best to let go, to seek happiness along new roads, even those previously discounted?
Devi's story lies at the core of Tiger Hills, but it is the other stories, unvoiced, like a dried flower lying pressed within the pages of a book, that form its undercurrent. A missionary, searching for something he cannot express; an orphan, single minded in his devotion; a boy, marked by both the mother who leaves him to the care of another as well as the legend of a father barely remembered. Different interpretations of love—obsessive, possessive, filial; the ways we wield them to undo one another, the suffering we invite upon those we hold dearest.
Finally, redemption. Tiger Hills is an exploration of our all too human need to come full circle, for reconciliation, and the idea that often, it lies well within our grasp.

NORWALK - The lull between snowstorms offered a chance to dig out – if only for an afternoon.
People shoveled sidewalks and cleaned off their cars, while plows went through the streets. Some took advantage of the weather and started snowball fights.
Overnight accumulations of snow are expected to add 2 to 4 inches.

Treat your GOGmix as your child - name it! ;)
Coming up with a cool and descriptive title should be your first priority. Being original is in your best interest - bet you wanna get lots of nice votes, right? Go all crazy if you want, but be sure to keep it civil!
So, what are the ingredients?
Pick a game that belongs in your GOGmix from the list, or find it by typing something in the text field. Relevance is key here - Earthworm Jim doesn't quite fit the "Sexiest heroines of all time" bill now, does it?
Justify your choice... Or not!
OK, so it's not required, but now that you went through the trouble of adding a game, telling everyone why you did it would be a nice finishing touch. After you're done here, add another game, rinse, repeat.

If the gaze can be understood to mark the disjuncture between how we see ourselves and how we want to be seen by others, the cosmetic gaze--in Bernadette Wegenstein's groundbreaking formulation--is one through which the act of looking at our bodies and those of others is already informed by the techniques, expectations, and strategies (often surgical) of bodily modification. It is, Wegenstein says, also a moralizing gaze, a way of looking at bodies as awaiting both physical and spiritual improvement.
Rembrandt's famous painting of an anatomy lesson, the shrunken head of an Australian indigenous leader, an aerial view of Paris from a balloon: all are windows to enchantment, curiosities that illuminate something shadowy and forgotten lurking behind the neat facade of a rational world. In Curious Visions of Modernity, David Martin unpacks a collection of artifacts from the visual and historical archives of modernity, finding in each a slippage of scientific rationality--a repressed heterogeneity within the homogenized structures of post-Enlightenment knowledge.
When did the "silent deeps" become cacophonous and galaxies begin to swim in a sea of cosmic noise? Why do we think that noises have colors and that colors can be loud? How loud is too loud, and says who? Attending, as ears do, to a surround of sounds at once physical and political, Hillel Schwartz listens across millennia for changes in the Western experience and understanding of noise.
The short-lived grouping of architects, sociologists, and urbanists known as Utopie, active in Paris from 1967 to 1978, was the product of several factors: the student protests for the reform of architectural education, the unprecedented expansion and replanning of the Parisian urban fabric carried out by the government of Charles de Gaulle, and the domestication of military and industrial technologies by an emerging consumer society.

The thin layer of atmosphere that clings to the surface of our planet is a fragile and corrupted brew. Air is in constant, restless migration around the globe, connecting us in the most intimate fashion. From the dust storms that sweep into Beijing from faraway deserts to the smog from Chinese factories that shrouds Los Angeles, our air, the ultimate commons, is tragically defenseless. Breathing air is an involuntary physical function, but keeping the air breathable requires acts of political imagination and will.
Most of our theories of laughter are not concerned with laughter. Rather, their focus is the laughable object, whether conceived of as the comic, the humorous, jokes, the grotesque, the ridiculous, or the ludicrous. In Laughter, Anca Parvulescu proposes a return to the materiality of the burst of laughter itself. She sets out to uncover an archive of laughter, inviting us to follow its rhythms and listen to its tones.
"Our job is to tell stories we have heard and to bear witness to what we have seen. The science was already there when we started in 2004, but we wanted to emphasize the human dimension, especially for those most vulnerable."

(WMC-TV) – The University of Memphis prides itself on being ranked one of the safest large campuses in the country. That came into question Thursday when an armed man attempted to rob a faculty member. The victim was walking home from a classroom on Patterson to a home on nearby Watauga around 9 p.m. According to a Memphis police report, the suspect said, "If you don't get on the ground now I'm going to shoot you." A neighbor saw the crime in progress and yelled out. The suspect, who was wearing a tan hooded sweatshirt, ran off and jumped into a blue or silver car that was waiting for him. We spoke with freshman Johnny Luckett about the security on campus. "I think campus safety is one of the most important things," said Luckett. "Being a college student, you don't want to be in college fearing that you might get robbed or you might die going to your car." Students and faculty consider the interrupted robbery a wake-up call. "In the daytime it's no problem but at night, not so sure about that," said faculty member Faye Tao. "My friends are always telling me don't go out after it's dark outside." Though the U of M Campus gets high marks in safety, that is not a free pass for them to let down their guard. "Safety is a number one priority, especially in the city of Memphis, in any city for that matter because crime is everywhere," said freshman Rashaun Wright The University is reminding everyone to put two important numbers on your phone favorites: • Campus police: 678-HELP • Tiger Patrol Escort: 678-HOME Tiger Patrol Escort provides free rides from dusk until dawn.

Law Practice
Posted Aug 20, 2007 2:30 PM CDT
By Martha Neil
In a precedent-setting case in the United Kingdom, a London-based megafirm has reportedly reached a settlement with a former partner who claimed he was discriminated against because of his sexual preference.
The agreement, between famed "magic circle" firm Clifford Chance and former partner Michael Bryceland, is for an undisclosed amount. However, "experts suggest a claim would seek to mitigate lost earnings and future ones: for a magic circle partner, this could run into seven figures," reports the Lawyer, a British legal publication. The case is believed to be the first sexual orientation discrimination claim against a British law firm.
Bryceland originally filed a discrimination claim against the firm in November, then later withdrew it in April and left the firm in what was portrayed as "a break from the law," according to the Lawyer. He originally alleged both direct and indirect discrimination, contending both that the firm had a discriminatory culture and that he was personally discriminated against, as an individual, because of his sexual preference.

One thing a lot of fans are concerned about this season is how strong the Flyers' defensive corp will be. With the loss of Chris Pronger last season, many people believe the Flyers blue line is too weak without an elite defenseman.The loss of Matt Carle added more questions about the team's defense, mostly regarding point production. Dreams of a Shea Weber anchored defense danced in Flyers fans' heads for nearly a week, before Nashville matched the Flyers offer. And when those dreams were dashed, fans no longer saw the strong defensive-minded defense the team had been building since the trade deadline last season. They now saw a team with a gaping whole on defense. But, is having an elite defenseman all that necessary in the league today?
Look at the four teams who played in the Conference Finals last year. Los Angeles, Phoenix, and New York only had one point-producing defenseman, and only one of them (Phoenix's Keith Yandle) outscored the Flyers top scoring defenseman, Kimmo Timonen. The rest of those teams' defenses are made up of strong, physical defensive defensemen. The Eastern Conference Champion New Jersey Devils top scoring defenseman, Marek Zidlicky, had only 22 points and 14 of those points were with the Minnesota Wild. This is the type of defensive corp the Flyers have been trying to build. - point production from one or two guys and the rest are stay at home defensive monsters.
Nicklas Grossmann was the first player the Flyers brought in under this new defensive mantra. His point production was limited his whole career, but his size, strength, and sound defensive play caught the Flyers eye. He made an impact immediately after joining the team. In the 22 regular season games that Grossmann played, the Flyers averaged 2.68 goals against per game. In games Grossmann didn't play last season the team gave up an average of 3.41 goals a game. You may notice that includes Bryzgalov's shut out streak. I don't think it's any coincidence that Bryzgalov played his best after the Flyers brought in a stronger defensive defenseman. Paired with Braydon Coburn, who saw a noticeable improvement after being paired with the gargantuan Swede, the two became one of the best shut down defensive pairs in the league.
Adding Luke Schenn in the offseason was another step down this more defensive path. The older Schenn brother arrived in Philadelphia under a cloud of contention amongst fans, but I don't think it will take very long at all for Luke to ingratiate himself with Flyers fans. Luke Schenn has led all defensemen in hits for the last two seasons. He sounds like just the kind of player that Philly fans will love. That, paired with Schenn's huge potential could make him the break out star of the season. In Toronto, he played on a bad team, like Toronto Maple Leafs bad. He had too much pressure on him too early. In Philadelphia, he has relatively no pressure on him. He walks in as, at best, the third defenseman on the team, and not the defensive savior Toronto wanted him to be as an 18 year old. Here Luke has access to defensive tutelage from future Hall of Famer Chris Pronger, as well as his All-Star defensive partner Kimmo Timonen. I'm not the first to suggest that Schenn will thrive playing with his little brother in Philadelphia, but there is something for Schenn's detractors to know before they write him off. New York Rangers defenseman Dan Girardi, arguably the best defensive defensman in the league, didn't even play his first full season until he was 23, the same age as Luke Schenn. It took Girardi around four seasons to come into his own as an elite defensive defenseman, his fifth season in the league; Luke Schenn is heading in to his fifth NHL season.
Adding Kurtis Foster could be the final step in making up an elite defensive corp. Foster, who broke his femur in an on ice incident and nearly lost his leg following surgical complications, is still developing his style of play following the injury. Foster has mostly been used as a power play specialist over the last two seasons. He has spent over a fifth of his ice time on the man advantage. And while the Flyers also plan on utilizing his powerful canon from the point (he is skating with the second power play unit and the first 5-on-3 unit) he could develop into a stronger defensive defenseman with the team. Taking a regular shift with Andrej Meszaros could really help develop Foster. Meszaros' first partner in Philadelphia had one of the best seasons of his career paired with Meszaros. If Foster can play like O'Donnell or develop into a player like Hal Gill, another large slow moving defensive defenseman, the Flyers would easily have the best third pairing in the league.
These players, in addition to the defensemen we already know and love like Timonen, Coburn, and Meszaros, make up a defensive corp built in the model of successful teams like the Kings, Rangers, and Devils. A lot of people see this Flyers defense as the weakest its been in years. but while it is in a different style, it is still going to be an elite defensive unit that could propel the team deep into the playoffs.

Research and innovation key to competitiveness of chemicals industry
European Commission - IP/07/1960 19/12/2007
Brussels, 19th December 2007
Research and innovation key to competitiveness of chemicals industry
To maintain the world leading position of the European chemical industry various measures should be taken, like a strengthening of innovation networks, increasing the spending in Research and Development (R&D), a better developing of human resources and improving information and communications. These measures are proposed in a first set of recommendations, done by the High Level Group on the Competitiveness of the European Chemicals Industry, yesterday at a meeting. The chemical industry is currently facing unprecedented challenges to maintaining competitiveness. The challenges include coping with increasingly costly energy and feedstock (mainly oil and gas), helping to mitigate global environmental pressures in particular from climate change and facing strong competition from emerging countries (e.g. China, Middle East and Russia). The chemicals industry is well placed to bring solutions to these problems and to exploit new opportunities. It provides innovations to most other industries and is a key component of value chains that end with the great majority of consumer products. To help the industry to overcome the present challenges and to exploit related opportunities, the High Level Group (HLG) however has made these first recommendations.
Commission Vice-President Günter Verheugen, responsible for enterprise and industry policy said: "Europe must retain a strong manufacturing base in chemicals, not only because of its own huge contribution to wealth and jobs, but also because of its ability to generate innovations throughout industry as a whole. We need to promote innovation and competitiveness to ensure that the chemicals industry will always have a strategic placer the EU's economy."
Science and Research Commissioner Janez Potočnik, who chaired the specific session of the High Level Group dedicated to research and innovation, said: "The future of the chemicals industry in Europe will depend ever more on its ability to innovate. Research plays a huge role in that. We are working with industry in a variety of ways to promote investment in research. Today's meeting will be another piece of the puzzle, which once completed will show a picture of a high performing, innovative and competitive chemicals industry in Europe."
The overall purpose of the HLG on the Competitiveness of the European Chemicals Industry, set up on 14 June 2007 by the European Commission, is to conduct a sound economic and statistical analysis of the factors determining the rapid structural change in the chemicals sector, and the competitive position of the European chemicals industry.
At its meeting on 18 December 2007, the HLG underlined that the numerous examples of best practice show that Europe's chemicals industry and its strong research infrastructure are capable of meeting the innovation challenge. To address the challenges the sector is faced with, the HLG has formulated a first set of recommendations:
1. Strengthen innovation networks
2. Increase quantity and effectiveness of research and development:
3. Developing our human resources should start in primary schools
4. Improve information and communication

BOSTON (AP) - Democratic U.S. Senate hopeful Elizabeth Warren and Republican Sen. Scott Brown are pressing each other to release more details about their past legal work.
Warren's campaign has released a list of cases she worked on during her career as a law professor at Harvard Law School - and immediately called on Brown to follow suit.
Brown described himself Tuesday as "a small real estate closing attorney from Wrentham."
Brown said he's worked as a title agent for Fidelity National and First American and worked with smaller mortgage companies and banks including Middlesex Savings Bank, Wrentham Cooperative Bank and Hyde Park Cooperative Bank.
Warren's list included six cases that went before the U.S. Supreme Court, another four that went before the U.S. Court of Appeals and three that went before the U.S. Bankruptcy Court.

The FBI is looking for help identifying two men who could provide information in a child sexual exploitation investigation that has been going on since 2003.
The FBI released pictures of the two men along with photos of a New Market basketball T-shirt and a home with a pool. Authorities say photos of the incident were first tracked online in 2003 and are still showing up in child pornography forums.
The FBI believes the two men, one age 25-35 and the other age 35-45, have had contact with the victim and could help them with a positive identification of the victim.
The New Market T-shirt has led the FBI to believe the men have a connection with a New Market school or town somewhere in the country. Along with New Market, Ala., the FBI is also looking for help in Tennessee, Minnesota, Ohio, North Carolina and several other states.
Anyone with information to provide should contact their local FBI office, submit a tip online at https://tips.fbi.gov/ , or call the FBI's toll-free tip line at 1-800-CALL-FBI.

Kentucky State Police responded to a single-vehicle injury collision Wednesday in Crittenden County, Kentucky.
It happened around 7:25 a.m. on KY 902, about 5.5 miles east of Dycusburg.
Troopers say Nicholas A. Darnell, 20, of Fredonia, was driving a Ford Ranger eastbound on KY 902 when the truck went off the right shoulder of the road causing Darnell to lose control. The truck then hit a concrete bridge end.
Darnell, who was not wearing a seatbelt, was taken by ambulance to Methodist Hospital in Henderson for treatment. There were no passengers.
Fredonia Fire and Rescue, Princeton Fire and Rescue and Crittenden County EMS assisted at the scene.

Said game is yet another genius item we found at Greystone Gardens during Berkshires Adventure Weekend 2012. We do not know the exact rules of the game, but we are pretty sure that possession of at least a dozen cats is a prerequisite.

Cuteness Alert: Kitten Crash Test
Seriously, turn the sound way up on this one as you watch tiny kitten fluffballs "crash" into each other. OMG, the cuteness.

Warm winters like the one that just passed are likely to become more frequent as the planet heats up, scientists predict, and many of the consequences could be dire, from rising sea levels to droughts to the spread of pests and diseases. But in the lesser-noted ledger of global warming, there are also potential benefits for wildlife.
Among the potential beneficiaries is the New England cottontail, an endangered brown rabbit that, in a typical winter, stands out against the snow, making it an easy target for predators. Not so this nearly snowless year.

Boston Sports Media Watch
With her final taping of Comcast SportsNet's "Celtics Now" on Monday, Laura Behnke finished up her three-plus year run in the Boston market. Behnke bolts Boston this Saturday and will join the San Francisco Bay Area's KNTV (NBC11) as the weekend sports anchor. Behnke, a University of Wisconsin graduate who grew up in Eagan, Minnesota, came to the market via NECN, but probably did her best work for CSN, where she teamed with Donny Marshall on the Celts weekly magazine show (in addition to a studio role for Celtics' coverage). She also did fill-in work with WEEI 850 AM in recent months.
"It is sad to be leaving Boston," said Behnke via email late Thursday. "I have been incredibly fortunate and am incredibly thankful for every opportunity I've been given at NECN, CSN and WEEI."
While Hazel Mae's departure grabs the gossip page headlines, Behnke's exit is the one which actually diminishes the market's talent pool the most.
. . . Another CSN contributor, Dave Briggs (the ex-WHDH TV sports guy), is popping up in a new spot as he is two months into to working with Fox NewsChannel's weekend "Fox Friends" morning show. Briggs continues to do work at CSN, but is hoping the FNC gig turns into something. In the brief glimpse we got of Briggs the News Guy last weekend was very strong. He's not simply a sports guy, that's for sure.
"I am co-hosting both Saturdays and Sundays (at FNC), and Friday each of the next two weeks," said Briggs in an email exchange earlier this week. "Honestly, the first time I read a single news story was live on national TV, but I quickly found out I love it."
Briggs's agent connected with Bill Shine and things just kind of developed over time. "I met with Roger Ailes last week and the man is incredible," said Briggs.
• This is actually the start of Shots' Summer Respite. Not sure how long that's going to last – and history says something will break that forces me out of said Respite – but we need some time away from all the shenanigans that now envelope this sports media criticism game.
A few things of import before we ride our scooter along the Atlantic head position our beach chair at friendly angles:
• I will most miss the periodic voice mail messages from Dan Pires where he called me a "mishoogie" and instructed me to call him. I'll also miss the out-of-the-blue email with a link or attachments that made me blush or giggle or both.
Mostly though, I'll miss the the idea of having a guy like Pires offsetting all the self-important phonies walking the corridors of Patriot Place.
RIP you mishoogie, you.
• Deadspin founder Will Leitch leaves his influential web site this week – for the MSM – and the Mattoonie did not go quietly.
Which was nice to see, if not a bit discomforting to watch unfold.
In four memorable days of the FareWill Tour, he spoke of thick skin, nice guys and a three year history that sure did have its share of "moments." The site will continue – our bet is AJ Daulerio takes over – but the exit of Leitch marks a bit of an opening up in the Wild West of Edgy Sports Blog Land.
For quite sometime now, we've found ourselves going to The Big Lead with more frequency and fervency than we ever went to Deadspin with. Maybe that's because TBL hooked us on its interviews and some of its more critical analysis of the media biz players. Perhaps it's because we had one too many Carl Monday jokes.
At the very least, we need to thank Leitch for all his past links and wish him the best of luck moving forward. (The Virtual Roast or Vroast was almost too much to handle. Well-played.)
• With all the bleak news for Boston's paper this week, let's not forget the Hartford Courant's inherent problems that seem to have the HC spiraling downward as well.
• One nugget to chomp on while we're gone: Glenn Ordway, "The Big O" of WEEI, is up for renewal this summer. The Big O needs to get the Big $ for what will likely be his final substantial deal in the market and the negotiations promise to make the Summer of '07 "Dennis & Callahan" imbroglio look like a game of Chutes and Ladders.
Thing is, Ordway has even more juice than D&C.
Jason Wolfe should have kept the bidding open a bit longer for the Doc, sports drink-splashed, dress shirt.
• Stay in touch and stay out of the direct sunlight.

Looky Lou1
a few notes….David Scott: make your "Summer Respite" last into the WINTER (at least)……Glen Ordway: GIVE HIM WHATEVER HE WANTS, he's a fantastic talent…….Laura Behnke:…BUH-BYE…..you won't be missed …..
Seuss, M.D.2
I for one will NOT miss Will Leitch — not one little bit. Withering "we're oh-so-witty and way smarter than you" sarcasm is like Old Bay seasoning — a little goes a long, long way, and it doesn't work well as a main flavor.

The future of Evansville's Glenwood Leadership Academy was supposed to be on the agenda at Wednesday's State Board of Education meeting in Indianapolis. Now, officials tell us that meeting has been cancelled.
Marsha Jackson, with the EVSC, says the board will mostly be discussed at a meeting in February.
We're told board members will consider a recommendation from the EVSC to give the district more time to turn things around at Glenwood, which has some of the state's lowest standardized test scores.
The plan is to designate Glenwood as a 'turnaround academy' with state oversight. Officials are expected to specify the number of years for the intervention and the role of the state board.
The EVSC currently has a contract with an outside firm to boost student performance. Schools Superintendent David Smith says he's pleased the State Board of Education recognizes the value of the partnership with mass insight education.
The school system is continuing on its current educational course until a decision is made.

Hey Lads,
Vercetti- Sub Comms Q&A -Body Language, Voice, Presence, Beliefs
As many may know I'm passionate about teaching Sub Communications, I've trained and professionally as an Actor and have been teaching this stuff for a couple of years now. These issues are easier to teach in person but I wanted to offer a free resource to help guys get their questions answered and receive practical tips to impliment immediately.
I've divided Sub Communications into 4 Categories in order to make it easier to teach.
1. Body Language
This is includes posture and alignment, relaxation, what to do with your hands, eye contact etc
2. Vocal Quality
Things like tonality, clarity, projection, articulation etc.
3. Presence and Movement
These are more advanced concepts - I talk about Standing out from the crowd, drawing attention, displaying sexual intent through movement and touch.
4. Beliefs
What's going on in your head throughout an interaction, limiting beliefs etc.
So feel free to ask any questions on these topics.
A few rules and guidelines
1. One question at a time: wait for my reply and then ask another one.
2. Make sure the question you're going to ask hasn't been answered already in an earlier reply
3. No question is a stupid question
4. Be patient, my schedule is pretty crazy at the moment with teaching, acting and project rockstar, so please give me a chance to reply.
that's about it...Let the games begin.

Beth Latham strikes gold in GB clean sweep at Canoe World Cup
6:48pm Sunday 8th June 2014 in Sport By Sports Desk
Cononley's Beth Latham helped Great Britain complete a clean sweep of team event titles at the Canoe Slalom World Cup in Lee Valley today.
She was part of the K1 Women's team that won gold, along with Fiona Penne and Mallory Franklin, while David Florence followed up his Saturday double in the C1 category by teaming up with Richard Hounslow to help win the C2 team title.
Latham (pictured) said: "It's amazing to win the K1 Team event, especially on the home course with everyone to support us.
"It feels great to deliver when it matters and go home with a gold. You could hear a lot of noise and it's a great atmosphere to be racing in.
"I'm moving to Lee Valley next Thursday and really excited about it. It's the best canoe slalom course in the world, so it's an honour to be able to race and train here."
The hosts finished top of the medals table with seven golds and a silver.
GB Canoeing performance director John Anderson said: "In terms of legacy this is probably the best advert that there is from any London Olympic facility in the UK."

North Ryde Florist: Effects of Flower Giving
I love you, happy birthday, thank you, I'm sorry, get well soon, thank you, and congratulations are only some of the emotions that are communicated through giving flowers arranged by a North Ryde florist to your loved ones and friends. According to a certain study conducted by a Rutgers University researcher, the gifts that you choose to give a person say a lot of things about you. The research also found out that those who give flowers are often perceived as caring, emotionally intelligent and successful people. Here are some more of the findings in the research:
- Anyone who gives flowers is thought to be happy, strong, achieving, courageous and capable.
- Flower givers are thought to be emotionally intelligent. These are often the type of people who can express their feeling well and give enough attention to other people to understand how they feel as well.
- Women who give flowers are perceived as women who know how to appreciate being surrounded by beautiful things and nature.
The research found out that you can create a different impression on other people based on the gifts that you give. This finding has even created an impact on people who are always into improving relationships, including romances, friendships or business relationships.
Moreover, previous researchers also show that flowers can trigger an instant moment of happiness and delight as well as satisfaction and enjoyment in life. The study also claims that women who receive flowers automatically respond with a genuine smile and enjoy a happy mood for days. If you also get flowers from a North Epping florist, this is also reported to help strengthen the bond between family and friends.

I would like to remind everyone that I am part of the group of fans (about 95% of us) who wanted Chilly to go. I know I am going to get my behind handed to me for this comment but I will take my chances.
My Proposal: Let us stay classy and wish Childress good luck for his future. A divorce is nothing to be happy about, even when it gave us a train-wreck of 3-7 season. Childress tried to do what he thought was best for the team. It is just that he was not capable enough or smart enough. He will get his $6 mil but I cannot imagine he would be happy about it - as being claimed by a lot of fans. Imagine the shame added to the pain of cameras showing his assault on his chewing gum when the dome started chanting 'Fire Childress.' Everything said and done, I am happy that he is not with Vikes any more but let us just give a thought to what he achieved during his time here. Progressively better record for 3 years, Play-offs, NFCCG, recruiting so many good players and an amazing season last year. Let us just say goodbye and wish him good luck fr his future.

Do you see the world as an opportunity to tell stories, create connections, and inspire change? We do.
We're on a journey to find the hidden, remote, or surprising voices around the globe. We makes films that inspire positive change, and then we channel that inspiration into real opportunities for action.
What We Do
It takes deep patience, respect for nuance, and incredible foresight to successfully move cameras, people, and stories across borders. We utilize our experience exploring five continents (and we bring along a hearty dose of tenacity) to organize the details and get things done. We keep our team, equipment, and impact as small as possible to allow us the greatest access, freedom, and spontaneity in our storytelling.
Storytelling is at the heart of what we do. We make films to connect surprising voices with new audiences, and we utilize our additional skills in writing, design, fine arts, and camerawork to tell these stories start to finish, from idea development to editing to finished product. We're fueled by our curiosity and eager to discover the heart of a person or a place with each story we pursue.
Call to Action
Uncovering cool stories and sparking inspiration isn't enough. So what's next? We accompany each of our stories with a project, event, or other opportunity for involvement related to the subjects of our films. We create an outlet to channel inspiration into action, to foster connections among film subjects and audiences, and to promote positive change that continues beyond the reaches of film-viewing.
Who We Are
We're David and Briana, a husband and wife team who has been traveling, storytelling, and working together for the past six years. Our favorite moments usually involve sharing stories over a scrumptious meal in a new place with passionate folks.
