Online Colleges in Wisconsin
2013's Revolutionary Online Programs in Wisconsin
University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee
Colleges and universities around the country have been watching as the University of Wisconsin system becomes the first public university system in the nation to offer online or hybrid "flexible degree" programs for its students. The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee is the system's pilot campus, rolling out four flexible degree options in the fall of 2013. The idea behind the programs was to provide students who have practical working experience the opportunity to move through the degree programs more quickly by focusing on competency assessment instead of credit hours. Furthermore, it is expected to reduce the cost of higher education for those students already in the workforce. Having already been working in their particular field of study, the university assumes that students are already bring with them a wealth of practical knowledge upon entering the program. Thus, they may not need to spend as much time in the classroom as those who are new to the field.
The program is based on competency rather than classroom learning activities. Students are able to complete most of their degree work online, possibly even leveraging the use of massive open online courses (MOOCs) that are available. Once the student feels that they have gained the applicable knowledge, they can prove their competency by completing an assessment from home, work, or at a testing site. Passing the test will allow them to move on to the next stage of the degree. UW-Milwaukee has started by offering three bachelor's degrees - one each in nursing, diagnostic imaging, and information science and technology - as well as a certificate in professional and technical communication. Although UW-Milwaukee will be the first school in the nation to offer these flexible degree programs, other schools in the University of Wisconsin system are expected to follow suit.
The University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee also began offering a graduate certificate in business analytics during the spring of 2013. The fully online program requires the completion of an analytics for managers course before the students can choose from a number of electives. Those electives include classes in marketing analytics, database marketing, business forecasting, web mining and analytics, or business intelligence technologies and solutions. Group data projects are also required, which expose the students to multiple software tools including Python, IBM SPSS and SAS.
University of Wisconsin-Madison
The University of Wisconsin-Madison hosted the 29th Annual Conference on Distance Teaching and Learning on August 7-9, 2013. The conference brought together over 700 participants from around the world to discuss the topics of distance learning and online education. Presenters included a multitude of professional educators, trainers, designers, and researchers in the field of distance and online education and training. Discussions centered around the use of best practices, as well as how to use new technologies and tools. Panels also included discussions on open educational resources (OERs) and MOOCs. The conference was sponsored by the department of continuing studies at the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
Like other higher education programs across the country, Wisconsin college degree programs are suffering from the recent recession. State budget cuts have hit the public university system, according to the Center on Budget and Policy Priorities, which reports that since 2008, Wisconsin has had to cut financial aid and higher education operation funding. This works out to fewer college program offerings, less financial aid money, and larger class sizes.
What Are Online Colleges in Wisconsin All About?
Wisconsin online colleges have been largely unaffected by the state's financial woes. Less dependent on state funding, online schools in Wisconsin have maintained their programs and other offerings. Accreditation has become more widespread for online colleges, which means credibility of online education continues to grow. In order to become accredited, online colleges must adhere to the same rigorous academic standards as accredited campus-based schools.
Wisconsin online colleges can offer you an education that can train you for a multitude of careers in a way that is convenient to you. By studying online, you have total control over your schedule and class choices.
Degrees Offered via Wisconsin Online Colleges
Wisconsin online colleges offer virtually any degree and program. You can earn your high school diploma, professional certification, or any level college degree in fields like nursing, education, engineering, science, social work, business, and more.
In addition, by choosing accredited Wisconsin online colleges, you can have access to federal financial aid, including grants and loans.
Tangible Benefits of Attending Online Colleges in Wisconsin
According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics (bls.gov, 2012), those who complete higher education typically have lower rates of unemployment and higher pay. For this reason, completing Wisconsin college degree programs can be highly beneficial. Attending online colleges in Wisconsin offers additional benefits that won't be found in traditional campus-based programs:
- Attend classes on your own schedule, which means you can keep your current job and maintain family obligations
- Save money on commuting, food, parking, and more
- Live where you want: by studying online, you don't need to live near the college of your choice
- Further improve your computer skills
- Personalized attention and no crowded classrooms
For degree programs that require in-person training, such as dental hygiene or nursing, a hybrid program is a good choice: combining online classes with in-person training offers the ultimate blend of convenience and preparation.
Snapshot of the Job Market in Wisconsin
Many Wisconsin jobs require the completion of a certificate or degree. The best Wisconsin online colleges can help you jump into a great career. According to bls.gov, the fastest-growing jobs in the state (with education requirements) include:
- Lawyers: Professional degree
- Dental Hygienists: Associate degree
- Public Relations Managers and Specialists: Bachelor's degree
- Computer Support Specialists: Associate's degree
Whatever your career goals, Wisconsin online colleges can help you achieve them.

What is it?
Geely's purchase of Volvo means the company is no longer some obscure Chinese car manufacturer, but a potential player in the European car market. And now the company, one of China's largest privately owned producers, has set its sights on Britain.
MG Motor may be taking some time to find its feet in the UK, but Geely isn't put off. The Chinese maker's cars will be distributed and sold by Geely Auto UK – a subsidiary of Manganese Bronze Holdings Ltd, which also owns taxi specialist LTI – and will have its headquarters in Coventry. The firm is currently establishing a 40-strong dealership network.
We tested what will be Geely's first offering, the Emgrand EC7, in its native Shanghai. Available as both a family-sized saloon and hatchback, the car will be priced from roughly £10,000 as of late 2012. So while the design hardly stands out, the value proposition should.
What's it like?
Externally at least, this unassuming model, which spans Europe's established Golf and Mondeo segments, seems well enough put together. Panel fit is good and doors all close tightly.
Typically, the interior lets the package down. Hard plastics dominate the grey and tan dashboard. The plastics of the air vents are particularly flimsy and the lid for the central console storage compartment wobbles precariously. Europe's automotive fit-and-finish departments certainly don't have anything to fear from this car.
On the base GS version, equipment includes air conditioning, electric windows and a CD player. Higher-end versions get features such as an electric sunroof, electrically adjustable leather seats, a DVD player and steering wheel mounted audio controls.
The EC7's seats are quite hard. In the rear legroom is ample, but taller adults will have headroom issues. The middle-sitting second-row passenger has one of the strangest three point seatbelts we've seen, involving two buckling points. Boot capacity is generous though, at 680-litres.
The EC7 will be offered with a choice of 1.5- or 1.8-litre petrol engines, with no word of a diesel. The 1.8 will have an option of a six speed automatic gearbox. Geely Auto UK expects to follow the car with another new model every year until 2017.
On paper, Geely's 1.8-litre engine looks underpowered, but in city driving conditions it seems game and potent enough. By European standards it's thirsty for a 1.8, though; quite unrefined, too. Steering is very light and as is typical of a Chinese car, the ride is soft.
The straight inner city roads of our Shanghai test made it difficult to assess handling, but the EC7 at least remained composed on poor surfaces. The five-speed manual, which will, in the not-too-distant future, be replaced with a six-speed unit, gave accurate changes but had a clunky feel to it.
Geely is keen not to repeat the safety fiasco of other Chinese brands in Europe. It has already secured a not-to-be-sniffed-at four star EuroNCAP crash safety rating for the EC7, and higher trim levels come with six airbags as standard.
Should I buy one?
Whilst not a bad first attempt, the EC7 isn't going to threaten Europe's class-leading family cars – but from £9995 for a full-sized family car, you wouldn't expect it to.
Price will clearly be crucial to the Emgrand's success. When launched in the UK, the car may come with stop start technology, to help with the fuel consumption. Its financial appeal will still need to be totally unmatched in order for the car to make sense. But all the signs are that it may just be exactly that.
-Mark Andrews

Re: Geely Emgrand EC7
Not a bad looking car but going on the interior comments how safe will it be? Cheap is fine unless you want to drive a coffin.
Worse than the build quality is Chinese electrics in their cars, which is truly shocking when built on the cheap and at this price corners will have to be cut to make it profitable. To me when does cheap in car terms become too cheap to be worthwhile?
Looks like a cheap Cheverolet to me????
Please ditch the 1980's Nissan/Dastun looking chrome trim round the wheel arches, truly horrid!!!!
Re: Geely Emgrand EC7
one word: "brand"
Re: Geely Emgrand EC7
The name Emgrand reminds me of those horrid second-hand Japanese imports that virtually everyone drives in New Zealand.
This Chinese car looks equally undesirable in my view.
Re: Geely Emgrand EC7
Re: Geely Emgrand EC7
And yet with 137bhp it takes 12 seconds to get to 60. the numbers dont add up at all
Re: Geely Emgrand EC7
I think NCAP reveals part of the answer - in order to get a really good 5* score then a heavier car will be the result.
Also once you start to add more and more electrical content, better quality soft-touch interior materials and the like, more in line with European expectations then the weight starts to rise dramatically.
Re: Geely Emgrand EC7
I have no comment about the car, Merely the emphasis placed on a list of items, starting with panel fit, followed by plastics quality, followed by the list of toys, followed by seat comfort. We finally get to engines and handling at the end of the list. Surely the basic priority for a car is for engines and handing. Once those have been achieved, then the other fripperies can follow. Autocar is not alone in this. Have we have lost our way in determining what makes a good car?
Re: Geely Emgrand EC7
The CO2 emissions figure and the fuel consumption figure don't really correlate.

Loved it: The Necks at The Corner, Richmond. Part of a national tour.
Necks connect heads to bodies.
Our heads to our hearts.
I was at the Wheeler Centre a couple of years ago when the hippest writer in Britain, Geoff Dyer, said casually to the crowd that we had the most exciting group in the world in Australia. The Necks!, he said in mock surprise.
The Necks aren't jazz, exactly. Wikipedia suggests trance jazz, experimental jazz? But "Jazz" conjures up Louis and Ella, Miles and Coltrane, Vince Jones and James Morrison. Labelling what The Necks do as jazz is as profoundly misleading as saying Francis Bacon is a portrait painter in oils.
Better to imagine three necks as cylinders, enormous, huge empty cylinders, now laid on their sides. You are standing in one of them, and a susurration of sound begins, of leaves and twigs and pages swirling around your feet. Within minutes you are in the middle of a sonic cyclone, a cosmic beehive.
(Right: my little trance sketch of bassist Lloyd Swanton at play.)
The Age reviewer Jessica Nicholas decribes The Necks' method. Here's how they started: "Pianist Chris Abrahams sketched the opening contours of the first offering, evoking an air of serenity with his hypnotic, unhurried ripples. Lloyd Swanton added quivering arco bass, while Tony Buck softly whisked a brush against his snare drum and jangled a small, hand-held bell."
This clip is a brief extract — but its tidy youtube brevity can't contain the elements that make The Necks an essential live experience: the open-endedness, the expanse of time: 40 mins–an hour at a stretch, the sheer volume that immerses you, the unrepeatability of the improvisation. Chaos: sensitive dependence on initial conditions — a moth wing beating in the corner of the room …
Pianist Chris Abrahams (video 6:25): "There is no premeditating … we tend to play things that are very simple, we play them over and over again. The humanness of repetition … Because what we play is so simple and we ourselves get mesmerised, we can sort of go between being player and a member of the audience.'
Maybe it's sacrilegious, but inside their opposite of silence I was thinking of John Donne's Batter my heart, three person'd God:
Batter my heart, three person'd God; for, you
As yet but knocke, breathe, shine, and seeke to mend;
That I may rise, and stand, o'erthrow mee,'and bend
Your force, to breake, blowe, burn and make me new.
A superior version of the above track, Pop will eat himself, here. The Necks tour dates here.

Pregnancy can do strange things to a woman's body. I had my son more than 4 years ago & my body has yet to return to normal…
When my son was about one, I gave up on losing the 40+ lbs of pregnancy weight. I'm a fitness instructor & know how to eat right & lose weight, but nothing I did seemed to have an affect.
Over the next 3 years, I started experiencing symptoms related to Cushings disease. Individually, these symptoms don't appear to be all that alarming, but collectively they can become life threatening.
All this time, I thought the symptoms I was experiencing were over exaggerated figments of my imagination…The inability to lose weight & continually gaining weight, bloating & water retention, puffiness in the face, insomnia, hot sweats, bruising, extreme fatigue and my favorite – a buffalo hump (my husband pointed this out to me about 6-8 months ago, concerned that I had poor posture spending so much time on the computer).
About 3 months ago, I decided to try to reclaim my body again and started working with a personal trainer. Two & half months passed with NO change. WFT?! I was at the end of my rope & came to the conclusion that something has to be wrong with my body. I was weight training for 40 min. 3x/wk and doing cardio 45 min 3 or 4x/wk. I had even resorted to eliminating carbs from my diet. Basically starving myself.
I went to my doctor to get a full check up. She took my blood pressure & it read 180/92! I was a stroke victim waiting to happen. I explained my exercise routine & my inability to lose weight. What's wrong with me???
My blood work came back abnormal…Based on the initial results, she suspected it might be Cushings disease. She requested that I undergo more testing. Apparently Cushings disease is rare, affecting less than 200,000 people in the US population and is often times misdiagnosed.
After nearly a month of testing (blood work, urine collection and a MRI), it's been officially confirmed that I have Cushings disease.
I'm bitterly conflicted. Apart of me feels relieved to have an answer as to why my body is the way it is. It validates all of the symptoms I tried so hard to brush off. For the same reasons, I'm frustrated that I lost more than 4 years with my body (Prior to getting pregnant, I was in the best shape of my life & loved to be active. I had completed my first Olympic distance triathlon in 3 hrs & 33 min and was training to climb Mt. Rainier).
There are two types of tumors that cause Cushings disease: pituitary tumors & benign adrenal tumors. Good news is that this disease is fully treatable with surgery. Preliminary MRI results show that I have a 3 cm benign adrenal tumor.
I still have a long road ahead, with more testing, additional doctor evaluations and eventually surgery. My doctor has informed me that once the tumor is removed, my body should return to normal, what ever that means…
My greatest hope is that my body will feel good on the inside AND outside. I'm ready to conquer my next triathlon…


text: Greetings! Last Saturday our Barony had one of its annual events but this time at the county fairgrounds where there was no kitchen. The head cook was Hely, assisted by Master Aiden (C&I Laurel). I have to boast about them and the feast! The food was basically prepared off-site on previous days although roasting pans were used. There was a refrigerator; an old, small, regular size, four burner stove with oven and a small sink. The food was good. We had a lively discussion at our table about the spicing. Two of us thought that some of the peppered dishes were too peppery but another person defended the spicing saying that she couldn't detect any spices in the dishes that we favored. Taste bud variations! The plating was just right. Virtually none of the dishes near us went back with food on them, and all the dishes had some type of decoration or embellishment. Aiden is absolutely tops with sugar paste - trying new things, making his own molds. For head table (TRH Midrealm and TRH AEthelmearc) he made a butter fence with cinnamon stick posts. It was glorious! Inside the fence was a sugar paste goblet painted gold (or gilded, I don't know which) filled with salt. The rest of the tables had small, round butter "dishes" made of dough. The first course consisted of hand-made sausages with hand-made mustard; apples dusted with cinnamon (and sugar?); cabbage in coffyns (the coffyn was not meant to be edible) and decorated with pomegranate seeds; a mixed green salad; and dates and nuts on a sugar paste plate/bowl. The latter had a fancy shape which is hard to describe but was done with a mold from a dish that Aiden had. There was a blue decorative line on each plate. We saw later that he'd put a maker's mark on the back - Aiden China! There also was a dish of dates and period gingerbread cut into decorative shapes. The second course consisted of beef and onions with a sour pepper sauce and a fish tart which was presented in a fish-shaped coffyn! Making and shaping coffyns was very period and I haven't seen much of it. Aiden did the shaping of all of the tarts. Additional dishes included a compote of pickled carrots, parsnips and pears; a mushroom pie (one of my favorite dishes at this feast); spiced pears and finally buttered pasta with pepper. The third course contained an attractively arranged dish of pickled beets and slices of regular pickles with egg quarters for decoration. There also was a dish of sugared lemon slices and sugared orange slices. Most of us thought the lemon needed a bit more sugar but it was fun to watch some teenagers down three or four slices while trying not to pucker up their faces! There was a scallion pottage, pretzels and rye rolls. There was a platter of chicken pieces - garlic, rosemary and (thyme??) which were well cooked. And, hurray! They were already cut up into serving-sized pieces. The herbed sauce arrived at our table a little too late to eat with the chicken, but it was tasty by itself. By this point, we were stuffed even though most of us were limiting the amount we were taking. And then came a sour cherry pie!! This was, for me, the best dish. The top of the pie was covered with a crust, but not just a plain crust. It was made of several overlapping pieces with the top piece cut into the nebuly shape of the Cleftlands' device! Delightful! And then came the announcement that we were invited to the back of the hall for the 'banquet' course! Aiden and Hely had set up a small, latticed and decorated booth that they'd used at earlier events (back side closed with a roof and fabric overhanging the top). On the table top of the booth were more "desserts" - dried apricots; sugar paste almonds colored with cinnamon and "glued" together with sticky tragacanth; sugar paste walnuts; a green-icing cone-shaped tree with marzipan fruits stuck into it; shortbread and fancy-shaped period gingerbread. There also were small plates with the comfits that Jehenne and I had spent days and days making. Whew! None of the photos of this feast are yet online, but some from earlier feasts by Hely and Aiden are available: http://web.mac.com/excalabear/iWeb/Site/Trayne%20Roast.html http://web.mac.com/excalabear/iWeb/Cleftlands%20Cooks%27%20Guild/Chivalry%20%26%20Romance.html http://web.mac.com/excalabear/iWeb/An%20Alsatian%20Feast/First%20Course.html I have a dial-up connection and it was taking too long to access the pages so I can't give you any descriptions, but you might enjoy seeing some of the previous dishes at earlier events.

Learn about fabric careHOW TO CARE FOR WOOL FABRICS: Dry-cleaning is recommended, though some wools can take hand washing. Always test a swatch first if you are going to care for your wool fabrics at home rather than using a drycleaner. Many of the fine wools Mood sells online and in-store have already been "sponged," or preshrunk, but you can preshrink your wool if necessary. Mood recommends taking your uncut wool fabric to the drycleaners and asking them to steam it for you, which will safely preshrink it more effectively than you can using home methods. Mood strongly recommends test-laundering a swatch, if you plan to wash your garment or home furnishings yourself.

WASHINGTON (AP) - U.S. retail sales declined in April and May, pulled down by a sharp drop in gas prices. But even after excluding volatile gas sales, consumers increased their spending only modestly.
The Commerce Department says retail sales dipped 0.2 percent in May. That followed a revised 0.2 percent decline April. The back-to-back declines were the first in two years.
The weakness reflected a 2.2 percent plunge in gasoline station sales. Still, excluding that category, retail spending rose just 0.1 percent in May. And it dropped 0.1 percent in April.
The flat spending suggests slow job growth and paltry wage increases may be leading consumers to pull back on spending.
Still, consumers spent more in May on big purchases - cars, furniture and appliances were among the categories to show increases.

Written by Plainview-Old Bethpage Herald Staff, email@example.com Thursday, 19 September 2013 00:00
Nassau County Legislator Judy Jacobs was an invited guest at Parkway School in Plainview to Honor Wounded Warriors on September 10. The children from grades K through 4th grade were all given small American flags, which they placed in the ground to honor all of the men an women serving this country.
On hand to honor the wounded warriors were members of various veteran groups, the Plainview Fire Department and the Second Precinct. Special guest Chris Levi, who was devastatingly injured during his tour of duty following the terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001, spoke to the children about why it is important to care for one another. Levi is now enrolled at LIU Post and is working toward his degree.
Jacobs said seeing the children act so respectfully toward Levi and other wounded warriors nearly brought her to tears.
"This was one of the most moving days I have ever participated in," she said. "My praise to Principal Ronelle Hershkowitz for bringing everyone together for a few minutes to remember and reflect."

I-Love-You Man
Jameel Saleem's debut feature follows the romantic misadventures of a guy who just can't say those three little words
According to filmmaker Jameel Saleem, it all started in the third grade. The problems with his love life, that is. He figured this out a little more than a year ago, the way men have often sorted these issues out, by thinking about all his relationship issues over the years following a breakup. And possibly, like many filmmakers, he's loosely adapted his romantic life into a movie, Cream Soda, which makes its world debut in Baltimore this week.
What makes Saleem's story of romantic remembrances slightly unusual is that he did so while he was couch surfing. And right after a project's funding fell through. "I just wasn't in a good place," Saleem says with a laugh over the phone from his home in California. "I had just broken up with my girlfriend. I was sleeping on somebody's couch. And I had a movie that I was going to direct that a friend and I wrote together. We had $50,000 to shoot it and that was in January '09, and the money fell through about 10 days before we were to start shooting."
Such a rough patch might have produced some real dark-night-of-the-soul stuff, but even during one conversation you get the impression that Saleem isn't so melodramatically misanthropic. "So I wrote a book called Cream Soda, which was about my love life," he says. "I had been going through some issues, and I broke up with my last girlfriend, who I thought I was going to marry, and I just wanted to get some clarity on why none of my relationships worked out. So I wrote this book and I went all the way back to the third grade and started writing. So from third grade up until now, I wrote down everything. Every thought, every girl, just everything, to try to help myself figure it all out."
Born in Philadelphia but raised in Baltimore--he lived in Federal Hill, where his parents at one time had a store in the Cross Street Market, and he graduated from the Baltimore Polytechnic Institute--Saleem moved to Los Angeles in January 2007, after getting his acting feet wet in Baltimore. He did enough shows to get his Screen Actors Guild card--in episodes of America's Most Wanted, The F.B.I. Files, a speaking part in The Wire that eventually got cut--and when he got to Los Angeles, he started working for casting director Matthew Barry, who gave him advice that midwifed Saleem's move from in front to behind the camera.
"He told me to make a short film, because I was trying to get an agent at the time," Saleem says. "He said star in it, write and direct it, and then start sending it out to all the agents and it will help you. Because I didn't have a reel, I didn't have an extensive résumé, so that short film was a way to get myself out there.
"That was pretty much my first time directing, and it was amazing," Saleem continues. "I liked the amount of control that I had over the story and over the creative aspects of filmmaking. When you're acting, you're pretty much telling someone else's story, and it was so great to get my own story and my own vision out there and to have total control over it."
Two shorts later, Saleem is crashing on a friend's couch after yet another relationship's end with no project lined up. So he decided to make Cream Soda the novel Cream Soda the script. "I decided to write something that I could shoot for cheap, cause I just wanted to do something," he says. "So I wrote Cream Soda, based on the book on my love life, because I wanted a comedy. I felt that a lot of the stuff in the book was really funny, so the main character is loosely based on myself--a guy who couldn't say, 'I love you.'"
Shot over 10 days last fall with a $15,000 budget, Cream Soda is an underdog: a romantic comedy with no recognizable name among its young cast, and it doesn't indulge in easy comic stereotypes about the sometimes vast divide between the genders. Instead, it offers a genuinely offbeat sense of humor as it tells the story of Billy (Josh Shelton), a casting agent whose relationships always end shortly after a woman tells him she loves him and he avoids saying it back. Billy knows it's a problem, and even seeks solace in a group called Why Men Can't Love, which ends up being a support group for women who constantly find themselves with emotionally unavailable men. Billy decides to keep coming to the meetings anyway.
"We've been shopping it around and we've had one company screening it, but we haven't got any offers yet," Saleem says of Cream Soda. "I'm thinking about submitting for a couple of film festivals soon. I was mostly scared that people wouldn't get my sense of humor, but I think it's funny, so whatever happens, I just feel good that I got it done and I'm happy with it."
He needn't be too worried: What makes Cream Soda work is how vulnerable his male characters are willing to be. When talking about his love life, he admits that some things were funny then, and some were only funny in hindsight. "The first time I ever got drunk, it was in college--on Valentine's Day--and this girl that I really liked, she started dating one of my friends," he says. "And I got drunk and I was out in front of her dorm, standing on the lawn just crying, and my friends were all there watching me. So, yeah, some were very, very hard to deal with at the time, but when I look back at it they're hilarious. But I actually left that out of the book."

Central Michigan took advantage of a Cajuns error in the first inning, opening a five-run advantage that held the remainder the game in a 10-2 victory over Louisiana in the finale of a four-game series at M.L. "Tigue" Moore Field.
The Ragin' Cajuns (3-1) misplay of a sacrifice bunt attempt down the third base line two batters into the game led to a run, then a three-run home run later in the inning tacked on additional unearned runs as the Chippewas (1-3) grabbed momentum early.
Rick Dodridge held the Louisiana bats in check, allowing just one run and scattering six hits over his six innings of work.
Seminole State College transfer Ryan Wilson, who patrolled the outfield for the Cajuns in the series first three contests, took the mound for his first start at the Division I level. While CMU plated six runs that he was responsible for, only two were earned.
Freshman Joe Robbins posted a bases-loaded RBI single in the fourth inning off of Dodridge, but the Chippewas starter came back with scoreless frames in the sixth and seventh before giving way to relievers Taylor Lehnert and Blake Louscher who held the Cajuns to two hits over the final three innings.
"Give them credit they got the big hit and put up some runs on the board very early," head coach Tony Robichaux said. "We staked our hitters with too many runs too early.
"It all comes down to the bunt...we need to defend it better," Robichaux stated. "They were playing for one run to score first and we turn it into a five-run inning and now they were able to relax the rest of the way."
The Ragin' Cajuns return to action and continue their season-opening, 14-game homestand on Wednesday, Feb. 20 hosting Northwestern State. First pitch is slated for 6 p.m.
The Chippewas early uprising was triggered by a leadoff double from Nick Regnier. He would score when Pat MacKenzie's sacrifice bunt attempt was fielded by Sam Carriere, but the throw sailed over the reach of Logan Preston.
After a walk, Wilson settled in by notching a pair of strikeouts around a Neal Jacobs RBI single and seemed poised to limit CMU to two runs. However, with the error extending the inning, the Chippewas advantage grew to five runs following a three-run home run far beyond the left field fence from Randon Henika.
Dodridge stayed ahead of the Cajuns allowing only two-out hits in the first and second inning before retiring the side in the third inning. His team added to the early lead with two runs in the third inning off a Jordan Adams home run and an unearned run that crossed home plate on a dropped infield fly.
Dodrige withstood a Cajuns threat in the fourth inning after a leadoff double (Carriere) and subsequent single (Caleb Adams) and a one-out hit by pitch loaded the bases. Robbins dumped a single into shallow right field scoring Carriere to drop the deficit to 7-1.
A pair of fly ball outs prevented the Cajuns from switching the momentum on Dodridge and the Chippeaws.
CMU added three runs over the final two frames and Louisiana picked up an RBI single from Ryan Leonards in the bottom of the ninth to finish the scoring.
Sunday's contest marked the Division debut for Adams (right field), Nick Thurman (catcher), Robbins (shortstop), Brenn Conrad (pinch hit single in ninth inning), Kody Smith (relief pitcher) and Ben Carter (relief pitcher).
"Being able to win three games, battle through the cold weather and have some guys gain their first Division I level experience are a few things that we gained from this series that will help us as the season progresses," Robichaux said.
The Cajuns, already off a 3-0 start for the first time since 2010 following Saturday's doubleheader sweep, exited opening weekend with a winning mark for the first time since that same season.
BASES NOTED: With Ryan Wilson pitching and Caleb Adams debuting in right field, the Cajuns used their third different outfield combination of the young season...Having the day off, freshman Blake Trahan was able to finish the season-opening weekend with a three-game hitting streak...Jace Conrad reached base all games in the series and played error free at second base through 17 chances (4 putouts, 13 assists)...Ben Carter, who missed all of 2012 with elbow ailments, made his Cajuns debut with a relief appearance in the eighth inning...The Cajuns left 13 runners on base...A total of 16 Cajuns made at least one plate appearance in the series...Louisiana's pitching staff finished the opening weekend with a 3.50 ERA while holding CMU to a .264 average...Head coach Tony Robichaux will enter the second week of the season needing three wins for his 900th victory as a collegiate head coach.

The tour is not only to celebrate her 80th birthday, but also the composers and writers who inspired her singing throughout the years. She had many hits in many languages including German, Spanish, French, Dutch, English and of course her native Greek. In total, she has recorded more than 1,350 songs and has collected about 300 gold and platinum discs during her career.

Can you believe it? It's Mooney Tunes time again, and astonishingly, we are approaching our tenth concert!
It all started in September 2009, at the National Concert Hall. The very first Mooney Tunes featured music such as Send In The Clowns, The Anvil Chorus and even the theme from Hawaii Five-O.
Over the last nine concerts, there hasn't been any genre of music we haven't covered. We've done a lot of classical favourites, we've had arias and choruses from some of the greatest operas ever written.
In the last concert, Mooney Tunes 9 in December last year, we did some incredible jazz, like Jack L singing My Way, and the big band orchestra performing Sing Sing Sing by Benny Goodman.
We've had pop, traditional Irish, even country music - Daniel O'Donnell went down a treat at Mooney Tunes 7!
All in all, over the nine concerts so far, we have brought you a total of 152 pieces of music. They were performed by some of the cream of Irish and international talent, accompanied by the RTÉ Concert Orchestra.
Everybody from sopranos Cara O'Sullivan and Claudia Boyle, tenor Paul Potts, baritone John Molloy have performed. We've had Brian Kennedy, Jerry Fish, Chloe Agnew, John Sheehan from the Dubliners. We also did a special Eurovision tribute, with Niamh Kavanagh, Linda Martin, Paul Harrington and Charlie McGettigan.
Anyway, the good news is, we want to bring you another gem of a show. And, since it's our 10th concert, we've decided to a kind of "best of".
We would like you, our listeners, to tell us your favourite moments from the last nine shows. Now, you don't have to have been to the shows to nominate a favourite moment. All of the concerts have been broadcast on RTÉ Radio One shortly after the live performances.

Hedgerows and the Law
Hedgerows in Ireland form important features in maintaining wildlife diversity and in establishing wildlife "corridors", particularly for birds. The commonest nesting birds found in hedgerows such as wrens, dunnocks, robin and willow warblers depend entirely on insects during the Summer months. In general untrimmed, thorned hedgerows containing species such as blackthorn, whitethorn and holly are favoured by birds as they provide ample food and also serve as a protection against predators.
Section 40 of the Wildlife Act, 1976, as amended by Section 46 of the 2000 Act, provides protection for hedgerows by providing that it shall be an offence for a person to cut, grub, burn or otherwise destroy hedgerows on uncultivated land during the nesting season from 1 March to 31 August, subject to certain exceptions. It is important that, where possible, necessary work to hedgerows is carried out outside this period.
It is possible in most cases to schedule and carry out necessary work to hedgerows outside this period. The legislation makes provision for works (other than road or other construction works) to be carried out for reasons of public health and safety under the authority of any Minister or a body established by statute that lead to the destruction of vegetation. There is also a provision to enable the Minister for Environment, Heritage and Local Government to request from the relevant Minister or body details of any such works together with a statement of the public health and safety factors involved.
It shall not be an offence to destroy vegetation in the ordinary course of agriculture or forestry. Also it shall not be illegal to destroy vegetation while preparing or clearing a site for lawful building or construction works.
It is the policy of the Minister to prosecute for offences under section 40 of the Wildlife Acts 1976 and 2000 and successful prosecutions have been taken under this section in recent years. Members of the public are encouraged to contact their local wildlife ranger and report instances where hedgerows are being destroyed during the prohibited period.

The bullet that struck Chattanooga police Sgt. Tim Chapin entered through the bridge of his nose and he fell to the ground, cutting his knees, hands and bruising his head, a Hamilton County Medical Examiner's report revealed today.
Chapin, a 26-year veteran with Chattanooga Police Department, was responding to a robbery-in-progress call at U.S. Money Store, 5952 Brainerd Road, on April 2 when he tried to apprehend gunman, 25-year-old Jesse Mathews.
Mathews, armed with two guns and wearing a bulletproof vest, fired upon officers through the store front before fleeing out a side door of the business.
Chapin pursued Mathews in his patrol car as other officers pursued him on foot towards Old Birds Mill Road at the rear of the business.
Mathews fired at Chapin in the car. Chapin hit Mathews with his patrol car, but Mathews immediately got back up. Chapin exited his vehicle and exchanged fire with Mathews.
Chapin was shot by Mathews once.
The bullet exited through the back of Chapin's head. He was pronounced dead at the scene after his fellow officers tried to render aid.
The type of gun is not listed in the medical examiner's report and police have not released additional details.
Mathews also was shot and taken into custody. He was hospitalized, then jailed Friday and charged with Chapin's death. Authorities have not released the nature of his injuries.
Read more in tomorrow's Times Free Press.
There are just way too many police officers dying in the line of duty the past few years, and it is trending up. We need to allow police a more free hand to deal with those who resist arrest, or fail to obery when commended to stop/surrender. The pendulum has swung too far toward the punks/thugs' side. If they resist, drop them. There are courts where they can plead their case if they are innocent. Time to let the police bring order to this society.
I hope the shooter in this case dies a painful death in prison, but quickly, we shouldn't waste too many tax dollars on him while he lives off our tab.
Emotions are still at a peak since Sergeant Chapin was murdered. Not much will be accomplished by making random statements yet many of us still need time to grieve his death. Mrs. Kelle Chapin spoke at Abba's House this past Sunday. Let's try to follow her spirit. Her faith will bring her through these trying times. Clearly we need to look to God for help in resolving any issues. I don't expect much for the twisted justice system.
macallanlovers...i said this immediately after the fine officer Chapin was shot(and it made some people fighting mad)....."GLAD robber was not a black man"...it would be open reason on all black males in chattanooga and reading your comment i read the tea-leaves right....the robber should have never been out of jail...but thanks to the good ole boy justice system...they let a man who had 3 armed robbery out for good bahavior LOL LOL ant that a joke!!....and this is not uncommon...its refer to as the velvet hammer.....where there is just a slap on the risk...."Macallanlover" please do me a favor and look into the mirror.....if this guy had been black he would had not seen day-light...so as you want to give police more liberty, what you really mean is shoot black male(take away liberty form all black males)....you see you will not go after white males with such zeal...it will not happen....white community would go after any police shooting a white male in such a way they do black male....bias system....if you look at history...pitiful to say , but most black male shoot other black males....they are very very very reluctant to shoot men in the blue uniform...but white males will not hesitate...look at recent event...both men threaten police officers(chattworth/lee hyw)so while you callin for reenforcment...i hope thats not CODE TALK(let shoot blacks..)with that attitude you always end up shooting an innocent man so as you express your emotion...let not it be a marching order call...for you will creat a much much bigger problem...just have some back-bone and write your congress-person about consistency in the justice system
Albeit this is trash reporting! Where is the decent respect that families deserve? Regardless who it is or (was)a family member should not be exposed to this. My curse on the writer and editor is that you are inundated when your family member succumbs: as we all do! Welcome to suffering--!!! low life's
@Macallanlover said... There are just way too many police officers dying in the line of duty the past few years, and it is trending up. We need to allow police a more free hand to deal with those who resist arrest
It is overly aggressive policing that has led to this type breakdown. Where citizens no longer neither fear nor respect the profession.
Citizens have been so overly exposed to the negative and abuse side of policing that they've become desensitized. Which leads to more citizens no longer in fear of nor having respect for the profession. It's no different than the abused spouse or child who finally stands up to their abuser.
how do you think the family of the man shot 80times by CPD a few ago felt while general population chattanoogan said he got what he deserved...it would have never happen to a white citizen..no way....its unheard of.....i say better hold your emotion....you(general population) are responsible for this mess...double standard in justive systems chicken came home to rooste, weak gun laws...NRA laughing all the way to the bank
@thunderdome said... Albeit this is trash reporting! Where is the decent respect that families deserve? Regardless who it is or (was)a family member should not be exposed to this. My curse on the writer and editor is that you are inundated when your family member succumbs
Wow! thunderdome, where were your concerns for the family and how they miht feel reading about their loved one and that "scumbag reporting" when CPD released a detailed description of the young man shot over 43 times by police down around the E. Lake Rossville area? There was even an outline drawing of a human figure detailing where each bullet hit. There were rumors the police involved in that shooting were seen out together at some bar where cops hang out actually drinking, laughing, making toasts and congratulating one another as if they'd merely returned from a hunting trip where they'd bagged some prize kill.
Wow again! Just how quickly our priorities and sense of values change when put to the ultimate test.
Why can't we find out about the perp's injuries? More privacy rights than the Sgt.? I heard he's a eunuch. C'mon, tell us! Did they shoot his penis off? Does his daddy have two daughters now?
Okay, this had nothing to do with black or white, it's not trash reporting, I'm sorry for the family but the people have a right to know all the "gory" details, yes they should give more info on the shooter, give a name when you talk about CPD "giggling" or you're just feeding a rumor, and maybe police should show more force. This guy had a vest on. He went out that day in anticipation of gunfire.
Cops die in the line of duty, thats the risk they accept freely. Why didn't his "god" save him? brainwashing ans stupid cult worshipers try to parlay excuses out of weakness.
quietreader, since you cant post here or with a contact, let me just say your brainwashed views of cult worship are about as logical as creationism and a pastors words mean as much to me as your own blind fear. Would love to discuss your irrational views, but folks like you who talk the most listen the least.

Enemy of God
by Bernard Cornwell
by Bernard Cornwell
Arthur, still defending Britain for his younger half-brother Mordred, faces religious uprisings, Saxon invasions, and disloyalty at the heart of the kingdom. His uncompromising belief in oaths and his optimistic blindness to human betrayal isolate him from even his closest friends. At the same time, Merlin's quest for the Cauldron (or Holy Grail) also becomes entangled in treachery.
by Steve Lawhead
by Steve Lawhead
When plague comes to Britain, King Arthur, awed by the healing power of the Grail, is determined to build a shrine for the holy cup, but one of Arthur's most trusted men kidnaps Arthur's queen and steals the Grail, revealing the diabolical plot of the evil Morgian, Queen of Air and Darkness.
Mists of Avalon
by Marion Zimmer Bradley
by Marion Zimmer Bradley
The Mists of Avalon is a legendary saga of King Arthur and his companions at Camelot, their battles, love, and devotion, told this time from the perspective of the women involved. Viviane is "The Lady of the Lake," the magical priestess of the Isle of Avalon, a special mist-shrouded place which becomes more difficult to reach as people turn away from its nature- and Goddess-oriented religion. Viviane's quest is to find a king who will be loyal to Avalon as well as to Christianity.

Film Review: True Bloodthirst (2012)
SYNOPSIS: Set in a not-too-distant future in which a synthetic blood substitute, dispensed by the Romanian government, allows humans and vampires to potentially co-exist. REVIEW: So the premise for True Bloodthirst (previously known as Vampyre Nation) is not exactly an innovative one, but I certainly felt that it was an exciting and interesting watch 'Äď and that'Äôs all that matters really! It didn'Äôt jump on the 'Äėvampire bandwagon'Äô in quite the same way as a … Continue reading

Earthlink cuts half its workforce
Financially-challenged US ISP Earthlink said on Tuesday it will slash about half its workforce after failing to ride the broadband wave Stateside. The Atlanta-based firm will can 900 staff as part of a sweeping cost-cutting exercise. It also lowered its revenue predictions for the third time this year to between $1.19bn and $1. …
My friend will be pleased. His Earthlink "broadband" runs at roughly 40-50k. So with the work force cuts, I expect a speed of around 25-35k for him. Maybe he should switch back to dialup since his modem keeps disconnecting him every 30 minutes.
Dear God, why does the internet in the US need to be at the speed of a third world country? I'm paying AT&T for 1.5MBps and all I get is 160k. What are you foreign bastards getting?
USA Broadband
Funny, I've had High-Speed internet outside the Philadelphia Suburban area from different providers: Comcast (never less than 6 Mbit/sec), Verizon (never less than 3 Mbit/sec), and Verizon FiOS (never less than 5 Mbit/sec).
Maybe they had a little trouble with routing (the Level3/ATT issue in NYC) or weather related problems, but I've never experienced any person with DSL running at 160k...
Cable speeds
I've had cable internet since it first became available in my area (around 1998). I've never had much less than the stated speed. First it was 1Mbps (I think), then it increased to 3Mbps, then 6Mbps, now it's at 8Mbps. I just connected up a couple clients to Comcast Workplace (business-class cable internet), and it's so much better speed-wise. It's supposed to be "up to" 6 or 8Mbps down and 768K/1Mbps up, but both clients are getting much higher than that. I downloaded a 68MB file from one of my clients last night averaging 250KB/sec until it hit 18MB then it slowed to around 100KB/sec. So it started at around 2.5Mbps and ended at around 1Mbps (taking overhead, etc into account).
Verizon DSL, on the other hand... It is, in a word, shit. One of my clients had it in their building, then they moved literally across the street, and their speed dropped by more than half. After a couple months back-and-forth between phone calls to Verizon, one VZ tech finally admitted that the phone line was 13,000 feet from the CO (how, when the building across the street was 4,000?). That, plus constant disconnects and IP changes (often times the IP address would change as frequently as every 5-10 minutes), drove them to Comcast.
So that's my personal experience with speed. Mark's issue (re: Wow) isn't entirely clear to me. To my knowledge, AT&T (actually, any U.S. ISP) has never claimed 1.5MBps, they claim 1.5Mbps (bits, not bytes). So the "160k" you get, is that 160 kilobytes per second or 160 kilobits per second? 160 kilobits per second would be accurate for a 1.5Mbps line.
Earthlink jumped off a cliff recently
I had used Earthlink for business SDSL for almost 6 years. When I called tech support, at any hour of the day or night, I got a live person on their biz support number, not a phone tree, and that person was able to diagnose my problem and fix it from right there. Probably happened 4 or 5 times in the 6 years, and the service was worth the $300/month and then some. Early this month, my line went down, called the number, got a 2 hour queue. The guy on the other end of the phone was Indian talking on VOIP so we could barely understand each other. I'm all for outsourcing, but for some functions, it would be just as effective to eliminate the services as it does to outsource.
He had to call a tech for a site visit, which was scheduled for a Friday and didn't happen until the following Monday. That guy decided it was a telco line problem and had to start a ticket with the telco. I got a call confirming that the problem had been fixed the following Wednesday. Still not fixed. And the problem seemed to be (from my side) an authentication database on their end.
Earthlink is most definitely not the company it was 6 years ago, or even 1 year ago. In the wake of this emergency, we decided to stop hosting in our office and just use consumer quality cable for access, with hosting providers for e-mail and web. Cut our costs in half. And by the way, cable self installed in less than 2 hours after we had the idea.
