I just got off of the phone with an Avalanche season ticket representative. Very nice woman, by the way. I called to verify that the Avs had received my renewal form, faxed on February 28th, because usually I would have at least received an acknowledement card or something in the mail by now. I was told that it was received and that I was good to go.
So, never content with saying "thank you and have a great day," I decided to pry for a little bit of information from the nice young lady on the other end of the line. I asked her how the renewals looked for next year, asking if she could give me a rough percentage. Hesitantly, she said something general like, "It's been OK, they're slowly trickling in." Which was odd, since the renewals were due on February 28th. So I made a comment like, "not surprising, given the product currently on the ice." To which she finally broke down and said, "Well, you're one of the few die hards, let's put it that way."
We ended the call joking about the need for a goaltender, having an owner who cares, and longing for the good old days. Just thought I'd share.
Cool story bro.

November 13, 2007
Sumner -- One day after drug agents seized a meth lab in rural Worth County, people in Sumner are shocked that meth was being made in their community.
They're also troubled that one of the two suspects remains on the loose despite a major manhunt.
Tucked behind a cotton field is a rural Worth County barn. Here, long time Sumner resident O.T. Eady goes about his routine in a place he's called home his entire life.
"85 years," he says.
But Monday afternoon, the quiet stretch of Gibbs Road where Eady has lived for more than 8 decades, was the site of a manhunt.
"Right on til dark, there was helicopters and police, and everything else til after dark," he said.
All of this began just after 2 p.m. when a pair of men ran from drug agents after a meth lab operation was busted up in a wooded area off Pine Forest Road.
Searchers captured 37-year-old Paul Milton Bryan and charged him with manufacturing methamphetamine.
"We kept looking for another suspect, but we haven't got him yet, and haven't got his full name," said Worth County Sheriff Freddie Tompkins.
While Bryan is in police custody, Tompkins says he's not revealing a lot of information to authorities about the second suspect that's still on the loose.
"It will take a few days, but we'll eventually, hopefully run him down. When news gets out, you start getting information from people in the community, and law enforcement is only as good as the people in the community," said Tompkins.
Investigators don't yet know the identity of the second suspect who they say, along with Bryan, left a toxic mess of chemical drug ingredients on someone else's property.
Throughout the early morning hours, a DEA cleanup crew up from Spartanburg, South Carolina cleaned up the meth lab site.
Sheriff Tompkins says Bryan could face several other charges on top of manufacturing meth. But for now, the priority remains finding the suspect who still on the loose.
"If anyone sees anything suspicious down that way or hears anything, just give us a holler. Call the sheriff's office," said Tompkins.
For now, 85-year-old O.T. Eady will go about his business; hoping yesterday's events won't take place again just yards away from his home.

Boot Camp brings together students, alumni and business leaders.
Randolph-Macon College students learned firsthand the importance of career planning
and preparation at the second annual R-MC Boot Camp, an intensive, hands-on workshop
held January 3-4, 2014 at the Wyndham Virginia Crossings Conference Center in Glen
Allen, Virginia. Boot Camp was sponsored by the Randolph-Macon
EDGE, a four-year program designed to help students
identify their career passions, compete for meaningful employment and apply to graduate
school. Linda Carne, executive director of the EDGE, says
people often ask her why it's called Boot Camp.
"I answer by paraphrasing the dictionary definition: a program or situation that
helps people become much better at doing something in a short period of time; or
a facility or program in which attendees participate in a rigidly structured routine,"
says Carne. "Both of these definitions describe what happened during the 48-hour
Boot Camp that hosted 75 of our students." Twenty-six majors
were represented at Boot Camp.
Finding the EDGE
Throughout the two-day program, Boot Camp participants learned how to develop their
own EDGE brand and communicate their "personal stories"
with confidence and clarity. Several hours were spent helping students first identify
their strengths and capabilities and then citing specific examples of how they leverage
those strengths and talents. Students also identified their communication styles,
practiced the essentials of business-dining etiquette at a formal dinner, and formulated
an "action plan" for career success. Sessions included The Art of Communication,
Communication Styles Interview Preparation, and Telling Your Story, which was presented
by Whitney Forstner '98, principal at Momentum Resources, LLC and president of the
R-MC Society of Alumni.
More than 50 R-MC alumni served as interviewers in a
Simulated Interview Program. Business partners included Mead Westvaco, Genworth
Financial, Northwestern Mutual, Verizon, Capital One, University of Virginia, Dominion
Partners, Enterprise, Inc., APC, Inc. and BB&T. Parents of R-MC current and
former students, including Mark Santschi, Anne and Wes Morck and Sue Schick, offered
their assistance and business acumen in the Simulated Interview Program.
A closing reception offered students the opportunity to put into practice their
networking skills with a large group of R-MC constituents and supporters.
"Networking is not job hunting," says Carne. "Our students learn that networking
is building a base of resources and potential mentors for the future. It is developing
relationships with alumni and community leaders. That relationship begins with a
conversation, the hardest first step of networking."
Macon Connections
Overall, students engaged with more than 100 alumni and business and organization
partners during Boot Camp—an experience that Carne says will benefit them throughout
their lives.
"They did not survive Boot Camp," she says. "They thrived. And
we are so proud of every one of them!"
Boot Camp is just one of many career development initiatives offered by the
EDGE. It is funded by donors who believe in the intense experiential
model of the EDGE Boot Camp and the
four-year personal and career development program that is the EDGE

Publisher's Weekly is keeping close tabs on this year's BookExpo America, as always. Calvin Reid writes about a really interesting panel on how the book industry should approach the new paradigm of publishing, what with all the technological and Web innovations.
The panel included Wired editor Chris Anderson, Scribd cofounder Jared Friedman, "digital guru" Nick Bilton of the New York Times and focused on one main question: How can the book industry save itself from following in the unfortunate steps of the music industry? The panel had some interesting things to say, including: Piracy can be useful. Really.
Check out the story here. Definitely worth reading.

Served on-draught at Ohne Bedenken in Leipzig, Germany in June 2011. Confusingly labelled "Dr. Schreiber" Nummer 1 Schwarzbier Hartmannsdorf. Extensive googling enabled me to identify this as the proper beer. Serving vessel was an Urkostritzer pint glass. Reviewed from notes.
A: Pours a two finger head of slight tan colour, nice cream, good thickness, and fantastic retention. Black colour.
Sm: Fruit ester - maybe raspberry? A light pleasant aroma.
T: Slight raspberry and maybe caramel on the climax. Rather bland unfortunately. Very slight chocolate malts emerge on the finish. Well balanced but simple and boring. Some subtlety, but little complexity.
Mf: Smooth and wet, but with nice cream. Suits the flavours of the body.
Dr: Easy to drink but a bit too sweet and not horribly affordable by German standards (I think it was something like 4 Euro). A strange but worthwhile beer to try once. I'd never get it again, however.

Bottle purchased in Leipzig. Freshness dated before 4/11.
A: Dark reddish brown with a large, fluffy off-white head that leaves good lacing. The color is nowhere as deep as it needs to be to be a schwarzbier IMO.
S: Malt with a hint of caramel.
T: Fairly sweet start gives way to some roastiness in the center. There is, however, an unpleasant off-note in the roast, although I can't quite place my descriptive finger on it. It's an overtone just past the center that's akin to a sour, ash-like note.
M: Light body and ample carbonation.
D: Aside from the off-note, which might be an artifact of this particular bottle, this is pretty run-of-the-mill beer.

3.85/5 rDev +15.3%
Bottle: 0,5 l; Served: Glass; Bought: Leipzig
Brown with reddish note colour. The base for the taste is simply malt - in positive way. Nothing extraordinary in the smell, The aftertaste is a bit sour (but the malt taste is the long lasting part). The head keeps for quite some time. Stronger than a typical Czech Dunkel, though comparable to, for instance, Kruovice Černé.
No food consumed with this beer - this seems to be perfect just for drinking.
04-14-2010 19:55:26 | More by Bogodar
2.98/5 rDev -10.8%
A- A bright, deep ruby hue. Dark though not truly black.
S- Sweet bread and noble hops; just the slightest hint of a slightly burnt roast aroma.
T- A very clean, dry bitterness up front. The malt then comes through; not really sweet but not really roasted either. Just a lightly burnt taste with the hop bitterness in the finish.
M- Adequately carbonated; on the thin side.
D- Very light and refreshing; definitely a session beer.
Overall: Not a bad Schwarzbier, but not exceptional either. This beer is indicative of why some call Schwarzbiers the "black Pils": while not bad, there's little in its flavor profile to differentiate it from its light-colored brother.

Good until 7/11
Bought at Halle (Saale) Kaufland Getränksmarkt
Dark brown (not even that dark for Schwarzbier) that poars a medium large tan head with decent retention. Aroma is weak and pretty grainy. Medium body, good level of carbonation. Notes of floral hop character up front that recedes to a slightly bitter, quite chocolatey flavor. Also quite a bit nuttiness (peanut/walnut primarily). Altogether, quite pleasant and drinkable beer, but nothing remarkable.

4.58/5 rDev +37.1%
Great beer from the Eastern Lands. Black, potent, pleasantly bitter, with strong hint of chocolate and more delicate one of black berries. I can only wish it will be exported more widely without spoiling the style. One of the best black lagers I ever had. And guess where I bought my bottle of Schwarz - at Almaty International Airport, Kazakhstan!

2009 Summer Film Institute
By Victoria Lenshyn, SFI Coordinator
Our 5th biennial Summer Film Institute, Rewriting (East) German Cinema: Issues in Film Methodology and Historiography, held on the Smith College campus July 12 –19, was a great success! Guest directors Sabine Hake (University of Texas Austin) and Larson Powell (University of Missouri-Kansas City) organized a stimulating program of 12 film screenings and 11 seminar discussions, which focused on case studies in East German film history, as well as relationships of East German to other German filmmaking.
We were also pleased to welcome 30 distinguished participants from eight countries, including Australia, Bulgaria, Canada, Germany, Israel, the Netherlands, the UK and the US. These included both beginning and advanced scholars in a range of fields. See some of their comments below.
Many of the films screened were lesser-known titles that were never subtitled. We were able to screen two of these – the Wolfgang Staudte film Rosen für den Staatsanwalt (1959) and Orpheus in der Unterwelt (dir. Horst Bonnet, 1974) – on 35mm the Pleasant Street Theater. Other titles highlighted in the free public film series included Das Versteck (dir. Frank Beyer, 1977), Bismarck (dir. Wolfgang Liebeneiner, 1940), Verwirrung der Liebe (dir. Slatan Dudow, 1959), Monolog für einen Taxifahrer (dir. Günter Stahnke, 1963/90), and Auf der Sonnenseite (dir. Ralf Kirsten, 1961).
The week opened with a warm reception at Sam's Café in the Atrium of the Smith College Art Museum, attended by Five College faculty and a range of dignitaries, including: the German Consul General in Boston, Friedrich Loehr, UMass Amherst Chancellor Bob Holub, UMass Fine Arts Center Director Willie Hill, and the director of the Goethe-Institut Boston, Detlef Gericke-Schoenhagen, who also stayed for the week to participate in the Institute.
Before closing the week with dinner and dancing, participants of the Institute discussed future projects incorporating DEFA and other German films in teaching, an overview of future directions for continuing German film research, and plans for the 2011 Summer Film Institute: DEFA, Africa and the African Diaspora.
The 2009 SFI was supported by the DEFA Stiftung, DAAD (German Academic Exchange), UMass Graduate Dean and Provost for Research, the Goethe-Institut Boston, Smith College, and the Five College Consortium.
"What a fantastic and encouraging experience! It was a Starstunde for academia and DEFA scholarship. This is what it should be like: people of joint interest sitting around a table and discussing without hostility. I was very impressed and found the seminar extraordinarily stimulating."
- Karen Ritzenhoff, Central Connecticut State University
"I must admit I haven't learned so much in such a short time for quite a while. So: thank you for making this possible, I'm sure this was just the beginning of a long lasting team working effort."
- Henning Wrage, University of Wisconcin
"Once again I thank you [Barton Byg] and Sky for the fantastic seminar, for your hospitality and for the warm and friendly atmosphere. I have the feeling that I made some new and good friends. And I really learned a lot!"
- Detlef Gericke-Schoenhagen, Goethe-Institut Boston
"The Summer Film Institute is excellent: great films, inspiring discussions, and lots of ideas for projects I am going to take home."
- Sebastian Heiduschke (Oregon State University)
2009 marks the twentieth anniversary of the end of the Cold War. As its ideological divisions and artistic legacies come into clearer view, previously neglected aspects of East German cinema become available to critical reassessment as well - and with it, the concepts and methodologies that have guided much of the scholarship on postwar German film. In this week-long seminar, we propose to focus on media historical and institutional perspectives that until know have been neglected or ignored given the continued preference for thematic and textual readings. In so doing, we also want to use the continued provocation of East German cinema to confront a number of historiographical and methodological issues in the study of postwar German cinema, including questions of periodization, institutional continuities, conceptions of cinema as a public sphere, and film's contribution to the audio-visual legacy of the twentieth century.
Organized by co-directors Sabine Hake (UT Austin) and Larson Powell (UMKC), the seminar will use a series of case studies to address the following issues:
* the historical continuities between UFA and DEFA (e.g., Überläuferfilme)
* notions of film authorship and ideology (e.g., Wolfgang Staudte)
* DEFA as a production model and cultural institution (e.g., KASGs)
* the function of multimediality and intermediality (e.g., television, radio)
* actors, stars, and issues of performativity (e.g., Manfred Krug)
* the relationship between film aesthetics and technology (e.g., ORWO film)
This week-long seminar brings together a group of 20-25 scholars from various disciplines (German studies, film studies, history, art history, social sciences, theater studies). Our meetings will consist of a combination of discussions and screenings; the screenings will be open to the public (35mm prints in collaboration with the non-profit theaters of Amherst Cinema Arts Center / Pleasant Street Theater). There are plans to publish the seminar-related work of the participants in an anthology.

Film Schedule
A free public film series will accompany the seminar "Rewriting (East) German Cinema: Issues in Film Methodology and Historiography" – the fifth biennial Summer Film Institute organized by the DEFA Film Library at UMass Amherst. Twelve German films, most never screened before in the US, will screen at Smith College and Pleasant Street Theater. All films in original German; only four with English subtitles (see below).
Films with English Subtitles
Monday -- July 13, 2009 -- 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. Graham Auditorium, Hillyer Hall, Smith College
Dir. Wolfgang Liebeneiner, 1940
German with English subtitles, 118'
One of the so-called "genius films" made during the Third Reich that use biographies of famous Germans to construct a national history and identity. Directed by Wolfgang Liebeneiner as the first of two films devoted to the Iron Chancellor, here played by character actor Paul Hartmann. Because of its unique mode of production and reception as a state commissioned film, Bismarck raises important questions about filmmaking within a state-controlled cinema and about the generic conventions and aesthetic traditions that made possible the enlistment of biography in larger ideological projects. In this context, Bismarck also allows us to consider the historical continuities between the Ufa studio during the Third Reich and the DEFA studio after 1945.
Tuesday -- July 14, 2009 -- 8:00 - 10:00 p.m. Graham Auditorium, Hillyer Hall, Smith College
The Kaiser's Lackey
Der Untertan, Dir. Wolfgang Staudte, 1951
German with English subtitles, 97'
The famous adaptation of the eponymous Heinrich Mann novel by director Wolfgang Staudte and known for its critique of authoritarian power structures, in the family and the state, as one of the libidinal sources of National Socialism. Diederich Hessling, here played by Werner Peters, functions as a socio-psychological type against which the GDR imagines its alternative vision of class, family, and public life.
Wednesday -- July 15, 2009 -- 8:00 - 10:00 p.m. Graham Auditorium, Hillyer Hall, Smith College
Look at This City!
Schaut auf diese Stadt, Dir. Karl Gass, 1962
German with English subtitles, 85'
Directed by documentarist Karl Gass, and produced by the DEFA studio for weekly newsreels (Wochenschau), the film tells the history of Berlin from 1945 to the building of the Wall in August 1961. At the end, the eventual liberation of West Berlin from its capitalist occupants is briefly imagined. The film's title ironizes West Berlin mayor Ernst Reuter's words from September 1948 with clips of the military and spy presence in the West, with the aim of justifying the latter as an "antifascist protective wall." The film contains the caustic commentary of Karl-Eduard von Schnitzler, who later became the chief commentator on GDR television and manager of the agitation program, "The Black Channel."
Friday -- July 17, 2009 -- 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. Weinstein Auditorium, Wright Hall, Smith College
The Hiding Place
Das Versteck, Dir. Frank Beyer, 1978
German with English subtitles, 102'
With a screenplay by director Beyer and Jurek Becker, this film showcases actors Manfred Krug and Jutta Hoffmann (Her Third). Max and Wanda have been separated for a year, but Max wants to win Wanda back. He's wanted by the police and asks Wanda to hide him. Although Wanda already has a new boyfriend, she succumbs; but her boyfriend won't play along, and he reports the alleged suspect to the police.
Films in German with No Subtitles
Sunday -- July 12, 2009 -- 7:30 - 10:00 p.m. Graham Auditorium, Hillyer Hall, Smith College
Ernst Thälmann: Leader of the Working Class
Ernst Thälmann: Führer seiner Klasse
Dir. Kurt Maetzig, 1955
German with no subtitles, 140'
The second of a two-part biopic about the leader of the German Communist Party during the Weimar Republic, communist martyr during the Third Reich, and role model for "the first advanced socialist society on German soil." As one of the most expensive, heavily promoted DEFA films made during the freezes and thaws of the Cold War, the Thälmann films rely heavily on an older iconography of political leadership, beginning with the approach to mise-en-scène, heroic narratives, notions of masculinity, and cult of honor, duty, and sacrifice.
Monday -- July 13, 2009 -- 8:00 - 10:00 p.m. Graham Auditorium, Hillyer Hall, Smith College
Love's Confusion
Verwirrung der Liebe, Dir. Slatan Dudow, 1959
German with no subtitles, 76'
Slatan Dudow's best-known and last completed film, a big-budget production featuring Angelica Domröse (of later The Legend of Paul and Paula fame), Annekatrin Bürger and Willi Schrader. The film ran into trouble with official socialist morality due to its frank depiction of sex (including nude bathing scenes) and portrayal of consumerism, along with a very stylized version of comedy.
Tuesday -- July 14, 2009 -- 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. Pleasant Street Theater, Northampton
Orpheus in the Underworld
Orpheus in der Unterwelt, Dir. Horst Bonnet, 1974
German with no subtitles, 88'
One of DEFA's last wide-screen (70 mm) films, and an opulent production with a budget of 4 million marks. Orpheus, a music teacher at a girls' school in Thebes, actually does not miss Eurydice that much – until the gods and Offenbach in person pressure him to retrieve her from Hades. Directed by Horst Bonnet, with Rolf Hoppe and Fred Düren, and sets by Alfred Hirschmeier, in ORWO color with Dolby stereo sound.
Wednesday -- July 15, 2009 -- 1:00 - 3:00 p.m. Graham Auditorium, Hillyer Hall, Smith College
Roses for the State's Attorney
Rosen für den Staatsanwalt, Dir. Wolfgang Staudte, 1959
German with no subtitles, 97'
One of the critically acclaimed films made by Staudte after his move to West Germany and like his first DEFA film, The Murderers Are among Us (1945), centrally concerned with the Nazi past and its legacies. The two films made by Staudte in East and West Germany will be used to examine authorship as an important category in the study of national cinema but also to consider its different meanings under different modes of production.

Monolog for a Taxi Driver
Monolog für einen Taxifahrer, Dir. Günter Stahnke, 1963/1990
German with no subtitles, 39'
Stahnke had made his debut in 1962 with "Peter und das Einmaleins mit dem Sieben," but both this film and its pendant "Fetzers Flucht," also made for TV, were banned as "formalist" and "decadent" and not shown until after the Wende. With a script by Günter Kunert, the film follows the night-time meanderings of a taxi driver through a city filled with urban anomie and ominous situations suggesting the Kafkaesque. Although other films banned in the context of the XIth Plenary of the SED are now justly celebrated in film history, this television work is almost completely unknown.
Excerpts from From Our Time
Aus unserer Zeit, Dir. Rainer Simon, 1970
German with no subtitles, 20'
A group film made by an Autorenkollektiv and involving a large cast with, among others, Ekkehard Schall (of Berlin Schönhauser Corner) and Hans Hardt-Hardtloff, narration by Brecht's co-worker Margarete Steffin, and music by Peter Rabenalt. Four episodes, one on Brandenburg in 1945 ("Two Sons"), a meeting of an old professor and his former student ("The Duel"), honeymoon reminiscences of a young couple ("Ordinary People"), and a German-Russian cooperation for Radio Havana ("The Computer Says: No").
Episode III - "Ordinary People" ("Gewöhnliche Leute"): Adele and Hannes, who both work construction, spend their honeymoon in Kossin, Hannes' hometown. For them, it becomes a time of recovery and, in particular, of memory of years past: scenes from everyday life, which show their love of work, commitment, conflicts, and joy of success.

On the Sunny Side
Auf der Sonnenseite, Dir. Ralf Kirsten, 1961
German with no subtitles, 101'
A star vehicle for Manfred Krug, actor, singer, writer, and arguably the most popular DEFA star of the 1960s and 1970s. Based on his autobiography as a former steelworker, the film rewrites the genre of the romantic comedy with two ideal-typical socialist workers and, in so doing, promises to reconcile traditional genre conventions, social realist styles, and modernist sensibilities.
Friday -- July 17, 2009 -- 8:00 - 10:00 p.m.
Dr. Sommer II
Dr. med. Sommer II, Dir. Lothar Warneke, 1970
German with no subtitles, 90'
The story of a young, idealistic doctor at a hospital in a small town in the GDR, and his on-the-job training as a rookie surgeon. The solo directorial debut of Lothar Warneke (after his co-direction of Mit mir nicht, Madame!), and a key film launching DEFA's "documentary fiction" school of the 1970s, which included Rainer Simon as well. Film also displays Warneke's typical existential concern with life and death, found in his other films like Apprehension or Bear Ye Another's Burdens.

Workers at a Rockford area recycling facility find a baby boy's body.
At this point the Winnebago County Sheriff's Department only speculates how this tragic scenario plays out. A baby boy one way or another winds up in the trash, only later being discovered by horrified employees.
"It's hard you know, seeing a dead baby like that," said John Silverio.
John Silverio and his co-workers saw the baby boy's body as it came down the conveyor belt riddled with trash.
Silverio says he's accustomed to seeing strange things come through, but this is something he'll never forget.
"Usually we just come by animals, like raccoons and stuff like that but never encounter something like that," he said.
Sheriff's deputies work to find clues about the infant named "Noah" by the Winnebago County Coroner's Office.
"There's a tremendous amount of garbage that's here. We're going to be going through that to try to determine if we can find out where this baby may have come from," said Deputy Chief Dominic Iasparro.
Finding those answers is difficult because trash and recyclables processed at one source recycling come from all over the area.
As for the employees at One Source. They've been sent home early. Many of them, as Silverio says, need the time to recover from what they saw.
"We were shocked, everybody. And we just called the supervisor and the police came and everything," he said.
Winnebago County Sheriff's Department Deputy Chief Dominic Iasparro says the case is being treated like a homicide at this point. He hasn't ruled out that "Noah" may have been dropped off sometime Thursday.
"It's different from the normal scene because of the volume of items we have to go through. There are multiple trucks that dump here on a daily basis," said Iasparro.
The Winnebago County Coroner's Office will perform an autopsy on baby "Noah" Saturday. We will continue to follow this developing story throughout the weekend and share those details as soon as they are released.

I tried doing a mock draft and I'll show you what I came up with before I get into it. Jenkins and Miller in the First. We are reaching with Miller but he is an NFL caliber back that is durable enough and will fit well in our west coast system. I think of McCoy when I see Miller in our Offense! Anyway both address needs and Jenkins stock is going to rise and may get snatched up earlier with the Senior bowl this weekend and Combine coming up. For the doubters that don't think he still got it because he played D2 ball and only got second team, 2 picks and didn't lead the team in tackles (Says one thing to me, they didn't throw it his way) he is going to show out and his stock is going to rise. Next I go WR in the 2nd and this is in between Dwight Jones from UNC, or Brian Quick ( Quick needs to Improve his 40 time but he breaks tackles and has a long stride) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oh5X0_c1DZo . I like Quick and so do some other teams. He is a big Target and is like a Younger version of Colston. Oh and he can block down field measuring in at 6'5 220!!! 3rd round got to address the line either side so I went with Brandon Brooks Guard from Miami OH or Alameda Ta'amu. I told everyone earlier we need needed another big ugly to go with Peko and Simms and I like Alameda. He will demand a double team most of the time and will free up LB's and secondary to lay the wood. Brooks is Injury prone but he is a big nasty for the Oline to replace Big Bobby Williams or be on the other side of him depending on what side he is. Next is a guy that I like in the rotation to DE. With both Ruckers and Fanene On Free Agency this will need to be addressed too. (I want Ruckers back.) When I think D I think SEC and he may be a sleeper. He only played 9 games this year but dang near avg. a sack a game at (.89)! Close enough. Jake Bequette out of Arkansas. Built like Justin Smith when he first came out without the pressure of having to start may have a good year in the rotation replacing what Fanene once brought to the line and adding youth. His Injury at the beginning of the year caused him to miss 3 games but what ready to go after that. I find it important to keep getting younger along the line and stay fresh and energetic. How important you may ask??? I go with DT again. It's the 5th round and your pretty much trying to find compliment players so I go 2 ways now. Wolfe from UC or Trumain Thomas. Here's my outlook here. If the Bengals pick up Alameda Ta'amu DT has been addressed and they can look at Safety here Tramain Thomas. He lead Arkansas with 5 interceptions and has decent range and is by no way shape of form a reach like Barron is being drafted in the 5th round. Let Nelson, him compete with Sands, worst come to worst move Nelson to SS and Maybe Thomas will start. It will be Nelson and whoever else whether in be Mays, Sands, or Thomas starting!!! Say what you want but it's better than Crocker. Not looking for a starter in the 5th but someone to push the starters. I could careless who they get with 6th or 7th round, Sorry! Now With that said I was orginally thinking the Bengals can address the Oline via Free agency but if they can't they'll have to address in the draft. The Saints are NOT going to let go of Nicks and the Ravens are not going to let go of Grubbs. Y would they? Elite teams keep elite players, it's just the way it works. The Saints will let go of Meechum though. So the Bengals will get Meechum a first round pick in 2008 who wants to be a starter but has not got that chance to NO system. Behind Colston, Henderson, the emergence of Lance Moore and Graham he is but a piece they will not miss. This will change my Second round pick too......... Kelechi Osemele! He is no Decastro but he will due =)! Part of Wisconsins mighty line he is NFL ready and will be a great pick up for the Bengals in the 2nd round!
1st Jenkins
1st Miller
2nd Kelechi Osemele OG (pending on Free agency maybe WR)
3rd Alameda Ta'amu DT/ Brandon Brooks OG
4th Jake Bequette DE
5th Trumain Thomas FS
5th Wolfe (UC) DE

Lecturer, Sociology, Henan University of Economics & Law
The subject that this project focuses on is: In Chinese society, what is the function of religion in the construction of civic culture? Civic culture is the core factor of civil society. The related research has indicated that different religions have dissimilar functions in different countries or areas, promoting or hindering the formation of the civic culture. Both Buddhism and Christianity have had specific effects on China. This project will adopt the sociological method of field study, including case study and comparative study, to achieve the following objectives: (1) discuss the function of Buddhism and Christianity in Chinese society in the construction of civic culture, and the aspects in which they promote or hinder the formation of civility,social virtue, and legal consciousness; (2) discuss the similar or dissimilar roles that Buddhism and Christianity have played in the formation of civic culture; (3) discuss how the Chinese unique dual structure in urban and rural areas influences the function of religion in the formation of civic culture, and the effect of religious belief on the dual structure in urban and rural areas. In discussing the above questions, this project intends to verify and develop related theories to contribute to the research on religious belief and civil society in China.

Storey County is celebrating a big improvement to its infrastructure that officials say will help protect the citizens - and the environment.
Storey County is replacing its old wastewater treatment plant that's more than 30 years old. They say although they've managed to keep it running so far, it's a bit of a ticking time bomb.
"What you don't know is down there underneath is probably the frightening part. As we discover things, sometimes they're just older materials, sometimes portions of the pipe aren't there," says Storey County Manager Pat Whitten.
Experts say a plant this old puts the watershed at risk of contamination, especially in the case of a flood.
It's part of one of the oldest functioning water systems in the state dating back to the 1800s. Replacing the plant with a new, up-to-date facility will cost about $7 million. Storey County is paying for it with a combination of grants and loans through a program with USDA Rural Development.
Whitten says without that help there's no way this small community would have been able to afford the project. "The rate increase would be astronomical if we had to foot the bill on all $15 million."
Whitten says they hope to replace the whole sewer system in the area over the next five to eight years, which will cost them about $15 million, but they are celebrating this first step...just in time for Earth Day on Monday.
And they are even being honored by the USDA for their Earth Day project.

Kestrel JP10
|Kestrel JP10
|Kestrel JP10 prototype
|single engine turboprop
|Kestrel Aircraft Company
|First flight
|29 July 2006
|Number built
|1 prototype
|Unit cost
The Kestrel JP10, Kestral K-350, or Kestral is a high-performance single turboprop-engined all-composite six-seat aircraft.[2][3]
The prototype first flew on 29 July 2006.[4] As of April 2010, the prototype, registered N352F, had logged about 260 hours.[1]
Its layout is low-wing with tailplanes mid-set on a single fin. The tricycle undercarriage is fully retractable. Its construction uses composites incorporating carbon fibre. The engine that has been powering the prototype is a Pratt & Whitney PT6-67A turboprop flat rated to 1,000 hp (746 kW).[2] In 2011 the company selected the Honeywell TPE331-14GR engine as first choice for the aircraft, also flat rated to 1,000 hp (746 kW).[5]
The company formed in 2002 to build the aircraft was started by Richard Noble who was responsible for the team that first broke the sound barrier on land. Noble envisioned the aircraft's primary role as being part of the fleet of "air taxis" flying over Europe that provide an alternative to both commercial airlines and chartered corporate jets. Noble named his Farnborough, England based company "Farnborough Aircraft" and the design for the then designated "F1" was detailed.[6]
The name of the company has since been changed to Kestrel Aircraft Company and the aircraft's designation was changed from "F1" to "JP100"[7] and is now the "JP10".
The carbon-fibre composite construction is claimed to allow a lower drag shape than does all-metal construction. The wing is also of carbon-fibre construction and features a high lift laminar flow design worked out mostly by aerodynamicist Dr. Gordon Robinson.[8]
The cabin features a club-seating arrangement, a toilet (or a possible seventh seat), and a baggage compartment in the pressurized area. In the cockpit, side window pillars are eliminated for a more unobstructed view for the pilot.[9]
Farnborough Aircraft formed a business alliance with Epic Aircraft to develop both companies' aircraft and as a result the JP10 appears similar to the Epic LT. The wing is reportedly the same, while the Kestrel's fuselage is 20 inches longer than the Epic's. The fuselage is also slightly wider and has a 27% greater volume.[10] The window and door arrangement on the left side of the aircraft is noticeably different.
A business partnership formed to complete the Kestrel's development named the Gulf Aircraft Partnership and located in the UAE did not proceed.[7]
Alan Klapmeier, co-founder of Cirrus Aircraft Corporation, has joined with Anthony Galley and others in the renamed Kestrel Aircraft Company.[11]
A business relationship has been formed with Liberty Aerospace of Melbourne, Florida, United States to provide assistance with Toray carbon fiber components.[1]
The wing is to be redesigned to improve stall characteristics and ease of construction, most likely eliminating the wing's planform elliptical leading edge.[11]
Kestrel Aircraft's Adrian Norris reported that the company is ready to freeze the design and build conformal prototypes in efforts to seek part-23 certification.[12]
On 23 July 2010 Kestrel Aircraft announced that they will be relocating to large, relatively newly built hangars at the soon to be closed Brunswick Naval Air Station in Brunswick, Maine. The company will receive some local financial assistance in exchange for an anticipated eventual creation of some 300 jobs. On January 17, 2012, it was announced that the aircraft will be produced in Superior, Wisconsin due to tax incentives totalling US$50 million.[13]
In July 2013 it was announced that the aircraft would be equipped with the Garmin G3000 avionics suite. Kestrel CEO Alan Klapmeier also stated that funding delays had slowed progress on the aircraft and that a conforming prototype was now expected to be ready in the summer of 2014, with the first customer delivery forecast for the end of 2015 or early 2016. Certification costs were estimated at US$175M, with US$50M already spent.[14]
By September 2013 employees were reporting that the company was short of money and that salaries and insurance payments were missing or late, and that vendors had not been paid. The company indicated that development had been delayed due to lack of investment and that the first flight of a production aircraft would not occur in 2014.[15]
In early 2014 it was reported that Kestrel Aircraft had fallen months behind on loan payments to the Wisconsin Economic Development Corporation due to financing delays. It was also reported that the delay in financing had impacted hiring, causing the company to reduce its staff in Superior. The WEDC and Kestrel have agreed upon new terms that will defer the payments until November 2014.[16][17]

June: A Proton rocket to launch the Yamal-401 communications satellite for Gazprom from Baikonur into a geostationary orbit at 90 degrees East longitude over the Equator. The satellite was to be built by Thales Alenia Space with ISS Reshetnev (NPO PM) as a component supplier. The original agreement for the development of the satellite was reached in February 2009 and the launch was expected on the Ariane-5 rocket. However on January 21, 2010, a shareholders meeting of Gazprom Space Systems approved an increased involvement of the Russian industry into the project and switched the launch provider to ILS (Proton). On May 28, 2010, it was announced that the 3,150-kilogram Yamal-401 would be a smaller spacecraft in the Yamal-400 series, enabling its launch directly into the geostationary orbit. Unlike its predecessor in a series, Yamal-401 would be built by ISS Reshetnev, while Thales Alenia Space would provide a communications payload. Both Yamal-400-series satellites were to have an anticipated service life of 15 years and based on the Ekspress-2000 platform. On May 2, 2012, ISS Reshetnev flown the payload module of the satellite to Toulouse, France, for a seven-month integration with the transponders built by Thales Alenia Space.

Garber Lacrosse Legacy Continues at UMass
Massachusetts Sports Information
Complete Story in PDF Format With Photos & Graphics
By Kevin Henkin
If ever there was a patriarch of New England lacrosse, it would have to be Dick Garber. And if there's a first family of New England lacrosse, it's the Garbers, thanks to the effort by Dick's son and grandson, Ted and Brett, to continue the storied tradition.
Affectionately referred to as "Goose" by his legion of loyal players, Dick Garber compiled 300 wins in his 36 years as the coach of the UMass men's program. Until 2003, when Army coach Jack Emmer surpassed him, Garber's 300 represented the most wins in NCAA Division 1 history. It's not the wins, however, that most people tend to talk about when they recall their dealings with Garber.
"I went to UMass because of Dick Garber," said Brett Jenks, who starred for the Minutemen from 1986-89, "because of my sense that for him the game was as much about character, team, philosophy and meaning as it was about scoring and outcomes."
Lending some insight into why Garber was so revered by his players, Jenks said: "One of his favorite things to do on a fall ball practice was to bring out Popsicles for everybody. It was so simple and innocent, and you knew that it just made his day. Here was a guy who had committed his life to this game, but he made sure we knew that while this was an important part of our lives, it wasn't going to be our entire lives, either. There was something about those Popsicles that brought that point home."
Kelley Carr, another UMass player from that era, echoed that sentiment: "It was such a family atmosphere and he really taught the players from a life perspective. You see a lot of these coaches and schools, it's all about lacrosse, but for the Goose, life was first and then lacrosse was second." Although Garber passed away in 1994, his influence continues to live on through another generation of coaches that learned how to lead and live while playing for him at UMass.
Said University of Virginia coach Dom Starsia, a former player and coach at Brown University who became friends with Garber: "I always considered Dick Garber a role model and a mentor. He was an important figure in my coaching life, especially in all those early years in New England. There's no doubt about that. I consider him to be a very important figure in my coaching evolution.
"The way that Dick carried himself, he was always a gentleman," added Starsia, who, like Garber, is a member of the U.S. Lacrosse Hall of Fame. "When I'm jumping around on the sidelines making a fool out of myself, I think of Dick Garber periodically and that's something that affects my behavior, because I know the kind of standard that he set for us and how we were capable of behaving. He's never far from my mind, especially on the sidelines."
Starsia recalled a particular moment in 2006 when memories of Garber rose to the forefront. His Cavaliers were about to play against Greg Cannella's UMass Minutemen for the national championship.
Said Starsia: "I went up to Greg and I actually said to him, `I think Dick Garber would be proud of both of us' just before we faced off to start the game."
Cannella offered his own thoughts on the far-reaching impact of his former coach.
"Dick Garber was a huge influence on me," Cannella said. "I think anyone you talk to about Coach Garber will tell you the same. Not just guys that are out there coaching but also guys that are in the business world, on Wall Street, teachers, accountants. In any walk of life that guys chose to take, I'm sure that they bring some of the things that Coach Garber gave to all of us during our time here."
In terms of feeling a high responsibility for protecting the Garber legacy at UMass, Cannella said: "I talk about it almost on a daily basis, about that legacy and about my position to be so fortunate enough to sit in the chair that I sit. My thoughts here are not to set my own legacy but to carry on his and keep people involved and keep people informed of the history of our program, which is his baby. He's the father of the program, so I keep that in mind for our guys and keep the alums involved and show the people here now what this program was built on, which is Coach Garber's values."
That message clearly has been felt by Cannella's players over the years. According to former UMass star Sean Morris, "Coach Cannella would get really emotional talking about Coach Garber, as would former players and alumni. And then you just started to feel that strong bond between the program and what Dick had done."
Of course, no one received more direct and lasting guidance from Dick Garber over the years than his son, Ted, who grew into his own legend.
Ted's turn
In high school, Ted Garber was an exceptional lacrosse player. But upon graduation, he chose to become part of a developing team at the University of New Hampshire rather than play for his father at UMass.
Said Ted: "My dad used to tell people he was the worst recruiter in the country because he couldn't get his own son to go to UMass. But he left it up to me on where I wanted to go to school, and I knew they had a really good school up there at UNH for what I wanted to study. I had a long talk with my dad about it because he really wanted me to go to UMass. Actually, he went to a different high school from where his own father coached back in the day for similar reasons. He told me to be my own person and do what I thought was best for me academically and athletically."
A year later, Ted felt he had made a mistake and asked his father to take him in as a transfer but was encouraged to stay put. According to Ted, "He said to me, `No, you made your decision. They expect you to be there and they're counting on you, so that's where you're staying.' Which was a good decision. He was always good with sage advice. He saw the big picture."
Ted excelled at UNH, graduating in 1975. Not long after his playing days were finished, he took over as coach of the UNH program in 1978, staying for 13 years. However, when his father retired in 1990, Ted heeded the call and succeeded Dick as coach at UMass. During the four years that followed, Ted carried the program forward, leading the way to two NCAA tournament appearances and even finishing with a slightly higher winning percentage than his father.
In 1994, Ted was faced with another tough career decision when he was offered a terrific opportunity at Avon Old Farms, a prestigious preparatory school in Connecticut.
"I would have stayed there [at UMass] except Avon Old Farms School had called me up and asked me if I wanted to be the coach there and do some administrative work and my sons could go there for free. I had a long talk with my dad about that and he said, `Well, you've got to do what's best for your family, not just what's best for your career,' and so I made the switch."
Since then, Ted has coached for several teams in Major League Lacrosse, including a stint as the first head coach of the Bridgeport Barrage and as an assistant for the Chicago Machine and most recently for the Boston Cannons. Although he has since stepped down from his position with the Cannons, he continues to coach prep school lacrosse for Loomis Chaffee in Connecticut. Of note, Ted is recognized as the only individual ever to coach at the professional, Division 1 collegiate and secondary school levels. Looking to the future, Ted also has formalized plans to become heavily involved with one of the expansion teams slated to be introduced to the MLL in 2010. Also noteworthy is the fact that Ted and Dick are the only father and son tandem ever to coach against each other in the Division 1 NCAA tournament. That game took place in 1986 (Dad's team won that one).
On whether he felt any pressure over the years playing or coaching in the shadow of his legendary father, Ted said: "He never put pressure on me as a player to perform at a certain level based on his legacy. He always said, `Don't worry about it. You don't have to live up to any standards of mine. Just do what you can do as best as you can and that's good enough.' I never really tried to compare myself to him. I tried to look up to him and follow his lead because I knew the standards that he had for himself as a coach and how he treated his players, which was probably the most important thing."
Going forward, beyond his own plans, Ted also will have the distinct pleasure of watching the budding career of his son Brett as it continues to unfold.
Brett completes circle
Brett Garber's story represents the Garber family coming full circle with the return to UMass lacrosse. After blossoming as a player under his father's coaching at Avon Old Farms, in 2004 Brett took his considerable skills to the program that his grandfather founded and whose name adorns the field where the Minutemen play.
Recalling that decision, Brett said: "I'd always had a soft spot for UMass itself because of the tradition with my grandfather and my father. When Coach Cannella started to recruit me, I thought it was the best thing in the world."
In 2006, along with fellow star players Sean Morris and Jack Reid, Brett helped UMass reach the NCAA Division 1 championship game for the first time in the program's history. Although the team lost to Virginia, 15-7, the appearance nonetheless represented a watershed moment for the UMass program and legitimized it as a national contender.
Said Reid about Brett`s play at UMass: "He was definitely an offensive player that could grip and rip from up top and get his feet set. He was capable of hitting big outside shots. I think he developed and matured as a player in his time there." On Brett as a person, Morris said: "You can tell that his grandfather and his father instilled a lot of the characteristics that they embody as well. He's such a quality character."
Looking back on his career at UMass, with the exception of that championship game, Brett's favorite memory remains a private tradition involving a statue memorial of his grandfather that stands in the right corner of Richard F. Garber Field.
Describing how the tradition started, Brett recalled, "In my first scrimmage at UMass when I was a freshman, the team went on our ordinary everyday game walk up to the field and it never crossed my mind before, but I walked by that statue and my first reaction was to wink at it. From that point on, I did it every day, every game, and it became a tradition for me. It was kind of funny, it wasn't something that I planned out, but before my first game I just did it and it's something that I'll always remember that I did because it meant a lot to me."
With his college career behind him, Garber has settled in as a professional player with the Boston Cannons and looks to have a strong playing career in MLL. Beyond that, he looks to a future in which he might follow in the revered footsteps of his father and grandfather.
"Coaching is always something that's on my mind," he said. "Right now, I'm very happy with where I am with my work, but I think coaching is something that I have a passion for and I'd like to pursue someday."
As of now, the three generations of the Garber family have collectively been on the scene of New England lacrosse for more than 50 years and counting, with no signs of an end in sight.
In the words of Cannella: "The Garber name is synonymous with New England lacrosse."


text: Squeezed by slumping crude prices, Venezuela is reaching out to the multinational oil companies it once demonized as imperialist profiteers. Venezuela is soliciting bids from the world''s major oil companies to extract heavy crude from vast deposits in its Orinoco River region, according to the Associated Press. Despite President Hugo Chavez''s criticism of U.S.-style capitalism, it has become clear that state-owned Petroleos de Venezuela SA needs both the cash and expertise of Big Oil. These international oil companies have made windfall profits in recent years, but analysts doubt many will want to invest again given Chavez''s history of seizing foreign stakes in Venezuela''s oil. Venezuela''s oil wealth funded a bonanza of social spending that has made Chavez a populist hero not only in Venezuela, but across much of Latin America. But times have changed since Chavez nationalized Venezuela''s last privately run oil fields in Orinoco in May 2007, shouting "Down with the U.S. empire!" as Russian-made fighter jets streaked overhead. The government took majority control of those projects, siphoning off more of the profits and reducing private companies to minority partners. Exxon Mobil Corp. and ConocoPhillips pulled out altogether, while Chevron Corp. and others begrudgingly accepted the new terms. Venezuela''s oil industry has stagnated under Chavez. Thousands of veteran employees with critical expertise were fired for backing an oil strike in an attempt to oust Chavez from office, even as the payroll expanded by more than half since 2002 to 70,400. Chavez has turned PDVSA into an all-purpose social service agency. An urban development arm builds houses, and a subsidiary sells milk, chicken and beans at metro stations and plazas. The neglect of the company''s core business is evident along the eastern shore of Lake Maraca Ibo, where for every few pump jacks pulling crude, another one hovers motionless above an abandoned well. Here in the petroleum heartland -- home to 78 billion barrels of Venezuela''s most accessible reserves -- machinery lies broken amid the weeds along muddy lakeside roads. Steam hisses from rusted pipes. PDVSA insists output is steady at an average 3.3 million barrels a day. But according to the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries, to which Venezuela belongs, production has dropped 16 percent since Chavez won office in 1998 and averaged 2.4 million barrels a day last year. Chavez has talked often of partnerships with the state oil companies of Iran and Russia -- but falling oil prices have left these countries with less cash to spend on distant projects. PDVSA is in an extremely tight spot, with oil prices plummeting more than 70 percent since July. Venezuela''s heavy crude is particularly expensive to upgrade to usable crude -- not a problem when prices were sky-high. Now shrinking profit margins make it harder to finance production. Venezuela also needs new upgrades to make this extra-heavy crude refine-able -- which is why PDVSA is requiring bidders to help build three of the facilities. Oil Minister Rafael Ramirez each would cost $6 billion, to be completed by 2014. PDVSA says it has invited bids for minority stakes in projects to explore seven areas of the Orinoco delta, and that 19 companies, including Chevron Corp., Total SA, Royal Dutch Shell Plc and Petroleo Brasileiro SA, spent $2 million each for a "data package" of technical information about the deposits. But it remains unclear whether any have actually presented bids. Chavez''s history of nationalizations and tax hikes is surely fresh on the oil executives'' minds. The world''s major oil companies may end up bidding on the Venezuelan projects in the end, simply because global supplies are dwindling, and much of the remaining reserves are locked up by governments from Iran to Mexico. But first, Chavez may have to find ways of reassuring them that he won''t seize their investments again.

Apparently, Rick Pitino is not the only target of an alleged extortionist, now identified by her attorney as Karen Sypher. The university has released this statement from Tim Sypher, the woman's husband.
"I am devastated by the bizarre allegations that my estranged wife is making against both Coach Pitino and myself. At this point, my primary concern is for my young daughter and four stepsons, both to the impact of their mother's actions on them, as well as the impact on Coach's family and the University. I love my children, and want to protect them. At the same time, I intend to defend the allegations vigorously and will have no additional comment at this time. "
