Editor's note: This is the final in a three-part series that details the playing career and life of BYU linebacker Kyle Van Noy.
Hours after BYU landed in Charlottesville, Va., to prepare for the 2013 season-opener against Virginia, Kyle Van Noy ducked into "The Local," an organic restaurant in the Belmont section of town.
The place was packed with UVA alums, an upscale clientele sipping wine from local vineyards and eating braised lamb shank and creamy polenta with blood orange-arugula gremolata.
Van Noy had on a BYU T-shirt, shorts and flip-flops. All eyes were on the big fellow as he held the door for my wife; then trailed us to a corner table in back. The expressions ranged from awe to disdain to wonder.
My wife has no use for football. She doesn't watch games and has no interest in meeting players. But she wanted to meet Van Noy after reading an advance copy of "The System." His story was the only one in the book that made her cry. She told him that over dinner.
The meal enabled my wife to see what I've witnessed for the past 18 months — an unusually humble, thoughtful person who is exceptionally good at playing a violent game. Humility and thoughtfulness are not qualities typically associated with the gridiron.
But the only other football player my wife knows (and admires) is Steve Young. When she thinks of Steve she thinks of humility and concern for others. He was a superb athlete who maintained a certain grace on and off the field that put him in a league of his own.
After an evening with Kyle, my wife identified some attractive similarities. "I really like him," she said. "He's different. Very refreshing."
But the thing that stood out the most to her was the stares. Eyes were on him the entire time. He can't go anywhere without being recognized. That's a heavy burden. There is no margin for error.
He can't take a play off on the football field either. The next day I was in the press box during the game. There were five NFL scouts in attendance. I asked the one seated next to me who they were scouting from BYU. "Only one guy," he said. "Van Noy. He's the man."
"What about the other scouts?" I asked.
"Same thing," the scout told me. "We're watching the same guy."
For the rest of the game, the scout's binoculars were focused on No. 3. After each defensive play, the scout made a note in Van Noy's file. Every detail — the position of his hips, the angle of pursuit, the technique of his tackle — was graded.
Imagine having your every move scouted, graded and noted. I don't know many people who would hold up under such scrutiny. Even most college football players don't live under such a bright spotlight. That kind of glare is reserved for the elite players, the ones destined for The League.
The scrutiny is heightened even more at a place like BYU. Provo is a bubble. I don't mean that in a derogatory sense. I'm just stating a fact. On top of overly burdensome NCAA rules that prohibit such things as me paying for Kyle's dinner, there is an honor code and a Mormon culture that places even greater expectations on a 21-year-old, high-profile student-athlete. Technically, a cup of coffee is against the rules, never mind an intimate moment with a girlfriend.
At every other college football program featured in "The System," a Friday night beer or consensual physical encounter with a girlfriend will get you a pat on the back. At BYU, these natural impulses result in suspension, if not a dismissal from the program. Your picture ends up in the paper. A private mistake becomes very public.

Alexander Wang Cast Anna Ewers After Tracking Her Down From a Blog
German model Anna Ewers has become a muse to designer Alexander Wang, making her debut on the catwalk at his show, fronting campaigns for the designer, and now he has also selected her to star in the new Balenciaga fragrance advertisements. Speaking on how Wang first came across the model, he explained that he stumbled across her face on a blog and tracked her down from the image:
"I think I found her picture on a blog. Then I sent it to Anita [Bitton], who we work with on casting, and I said, "Let's find this girl!" Immediately I sort of fell in love with her, and the rest is history."
Anna drove to Paris to take part in the casting for Balenciaga:
"My first runway show was for Alex and it was amazing. I remember going to the casting for Balenciaga. I was so nervous. I drove to Paris just for him…I was not supposed to do fashion week! Then he picked me up, I don't know where. He was like, "I want this girl.""
Anna admits she was very nervous before the show, but has been amazed by the opportunities she has been given thanks to Wang:
"I was watching all of those stupid YouTube videos the day before the show, where the models are tripping on the runway [laughs]. I was super nervous, but it was such an honor to do it. My first big campaign was also Alexander Wang, and I opened the show. Then I shot the Balenciaga perfume campaign. All the important steps in my career have been with Alex."

East Rutherford, NJ - The Meadowlands is pleased to announce the $1 million Graduate Series, a new initiative designed to provide racing opportunities for four-year-old trotters and pacers in 2015. While the schedule will not be finalized until the December stakes meetings, the series will offer three legs tentatively beginning in late May with $50,000e legs at Tioga Downs, continue through June at The Meadowlands with the purse increasing to $75,000e then $100,000e for legs two and three. The Graduate Finals will be raced at The Meadowlands in early July with the purse for each gait guaranteed at $250,000. Meadowlands Chairman Jeff Gural has been vocal in his advocacy of keeping the equine stars of the sport on the track beyond their sophomore season and spoke on the intent of the series. "I consider keeping the best horses on the racetrack a priority to generate fan interest in racing. This series will provide what the connections of those horses have indicated a need for, a chance to race against horses of their own age until mid-season, when they will graduate into the open stakes," said Gural. "I appreciate the support of Tommy Luchento, Leo McNamara and the New Jersey horsemen in recognizing the importance of creating races that will appeal to our customers by bringing back recognizable names that hopefully will attract new younger customers while appealing to our regular customer base as well." Further details on the Graduate Series will be made available as they become final. From the Meadowlands Media Department
This is a reminder to all horsemen that beginning with the November 14th racing program, any New Jersey Sired horse entered in a race with a condition of non-winners of one, two, three or four pari-mutuel races will race for 60-percent more than the listed purse. The bonus program encompasses both sexes of horse as well as gait. The Meadowlands wanted to issue this reminder prior to the Harrisburg Mixed Sale as there will be lucrative opportunities for New Jersey Sired horses selling at Harrisburg at the upcoming Meadowlands meet. The purse structure will be as follows: Non-winners of one: $10,000 (plus $6,000 for NJ sired horses) Non-winners of two: $12,500 (plus $7,500 for NJ sired horses) Non-winners of three: $15,000 (plus $9,000 for NJ sired horses) Non-winners of four: $17,500 (plus $10,500 for NJ sired horses) In addition, all races with a condition of non-winners of one, two, three or four pari-mutuel races will be written with first preference for all horses that are New Jersey Sired, to ensure that New Jersey sired horses have the most opportunity to compete for this bonus program. Regarding the recent announcement of trainers who have achieved entry into the trainers rewards program, The Meadowlands would like to reiterate that the program does not include races classified B-1 or higher, nor does it include stakes, late closer or early closer events. In addition, the program is limited to the period of November 14, 2014 through February 28, 2015 to ensure our most loyal trainers are able to get their horses raced when The Meadowlands entry box is in its highest demand. The program was designed in conjunction with the SBOANJ with the sole purpose of rewarding those trainers who supported The Meadowlands during the period of time that it proves most difficult to fill the entry box. Any horsemen with questions, comments or concerns should contact either The Meadowlands Race Office or the SBOANJ as any input is valued and appreciated. by Darin Zoccali, for the Meadowlands
In March of this year, The Meadowlands announced that it will begin keeping track of trainer's entries with the purpose of implementing a rewards program which would go into effect on November 14th of this year. In conjunction with the Standardbred Breeders and Owners Association of New Jersey, The Meadowlands has identified the following trainers as earning entrance into the Rewards Program. These names are strictly alphabetical as each of these trainers shares equal benefits when entering their horses to race at The Meadowlands. 1. Eric Abbatiello 2. Tony Alagna 3. Ronald Burke 4. Mark Capone 5. Ron Coyne Jr. 6. Jonas Czernyson 7. Nikolas Drennan 8. Steve Elliot 9. Mark Ford 10. Mark Harder 11. Joseph Holloway 12. Richard Johnson 13. Douglas Lewis 14. Joseph Martin 15. Julie Miller 16. Larry Remmen 17. Christopher Ryder 18. Mark Silva 19. Jeffrey Smith 20. Ake Svanstedt 21. Jimmy Takter 22. Linda Toscano The trainers listed above achieved entry in the program by meeting one of two criteria: 1) Accumulating over 60 starts at The Meadowlands from March 28, 2014 through August 2, 2014 or 2) Having at least 20 starts at The Meadowlands from March 28, 2014 through August 2, 2014 where the trainer's horses raced at The Meadowlands more than all other tracks combined over that period of time. "I want to thank The Meadowlands for implementing this program," said SBOANJ President Thomas Luchento. "I am proud of the position they have taken to reward all trainers that remain steadfast in their conviction that The Meadowlands is the best place to race in the world. This program rewards loyalty, and the SBOANJ is a proud supporter of that." "I appreciate the loyalty these trainers have shown to The Meadowlands throughout this past racing season," said Meadowlands Chairman Jeff Gural. "I am happy that they will be given every opportunity to get all of their horses raced at The Meadowlands when we reopen on November 14th. Hopefully this information will prove beneficial to all the owners and trainers that are heading to Harrisburg for the upcoming Standardbred Mixed Sale." The rewards program will be applied to overnight races that are classified as B-2 or below as well as all non-winners of 1, 2, 3 or 4 pari-mutuel races. The program does not apply to early or late closers, nor does it apply to stakes events. Any horsemen with questions can contact The Meadowlands Race Office or the SBOANJ. by Darin Zoccali, for the Meadowlands

MANALAPAN, NJ - October 16, 2014 - Sumatra made it two straight trips to the winner's circle with a two-length tally in the $25,000 New Jersey Futurity for three-year-old New Jersey-sired trotters on Thursday, October 16, 2014 at Freehold Raceway. The gelded son of Muscles Yankee - Lola Seelster covered the non-wagering mile in 1:57.2 with Brian Sears in the sulky. Angels Ransom [Revenue] was second with Choco Sun [Chocolatier] two and a half lengths back in third. Sumatra, trained by Tom Fanning, now has back-to-back stakes wins, having captured the Old Oaken Bucket at Delaware, OH on September 18. This year's record features three wins, two seconds and two thirds from 13 starts for earnings of nearly $170,000. Lifetime, he has finished in-the-money in 16 of 24 starts, banking $277,339. The $9,000 Harrisburg Sale purchase by Joseph Smith of Vero Beach, FL, was bred by Perretti Farms of Cream Ridge, NJ and Black Horse Racing of Lebanon, NJ. The New Jersey Futurity is sponsored by the Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association of New Jersey. By Carol Hodes, for the SBOANJ
MANALAPAN, NJ - October 15, 2014 - Margret "Maggi" Romano, a founding member of the Standardbred Pleasure Horse Association, has been selected to receive the 2015 Spirit of the Horse Award from the Rutgers Equine Science Center. Romano, who resides in Clarksburg, NJ, is the wife of Anthony Romano, a member of the Board of Directors of the Standardbred Breeders & Owners Association of New Jersey. "The award recognizes people whose lives have been impacted by horses and who continue to give back to horses and the equine industry through dedicated time and service," said Dr. Karyn Malinowski, director of the Rutgers Equine Science Center. "Maggi is a person who eats, breathes and lives horses 24/7/365. She doesn't take short cuts when the well-being of a horse is involved. Her philosophy is that when dealing with horses one should give 110 percent at least, but never less than 100 percent." As a young person in Germany, she went with her father every year to Aachen to watch the international jumping competition. After high school, vocational school, advanced night school and an office job, she traveled to New York in 1977, and she was introduced to standardbred horses at the Meadowlands. Romano served two years as president and one year as show manager of the Standardbred Pleasure Horse Organization of New Jersey [SPHO/NJ]. She is a board member of the New Jersey Horse Council, serving two years as president and as a delegate to the New Jersey Equine Advisory Board, where she served two years as vice chair and two years as chair. She currently serves as a delegate to the New Jersey Agricultural Convention and as the delegate from New Jersey to the Coalition of State Horse Councils and American Horse Council, where she serves on the Racing Advisory Committee. Maggi and her husband, Tony, currently have eight horses on their farm -- one active standardbred racehorse, six retired racehorses that she either owned or adopted, plus a mixed breed that she rescued in 2014. "Of course, it's an awesome honor to receive the Spirit of the Horse Award, but I still haven't figured out why me, so I don't know if I can live up to it," Romano said. "Previous recipients were tops in their profession and received national accolades. Maybe, it's because I am just an example of the many people who love and care for horses, day in and day out, without expecting and receiving fame and glory. And for all those people, I gratefully accept the Spirit of the Horse Award." Previous recipients include: Sandy Denarski, Dr. David Meirs II, Dr. Stephen P. Dey, Elizabeth Durkin, Toni Nigito, Rick Wills, Nancy Jaffer, Linda Toscano, Dr. Patty Hogan, and Peter Cofrancesco III. Romano will receive her award at the Rutgers Equine Science Center's Evening of Science and Celebration on Monday, November 10, 2014 at the Cook Campus Center, 59 Biel Road, New Brunswick, NJ from 5 p.m. to 9 p.m. From 5 to 6 p.m. is the optional tour at the Red Barn on College Farm Road. A light supper will be available from 6 to 7 p.m. followed by the Science & Celebration, featuring speakers Angela Howard on "Preparing for Disaster" and Dr. David Horohov on "The Inflammatory Response to Exercise."

The New Jersey Sire Stakes will open its 2014 Green Acres racing season at Freehold Raceway on Thursday, August 28 with the opening round of competition for two-year-old colt trotters. The draw for the race will be held on Monday, August 25 with the entry box closing at 9am on that date. Green Acres racing will once again offer purses of $7,000 for each leg with the top eight point earners among the three qualifying legs in each division qualifying for the $25,000 finals. Entry fees remain $150 for each leg and $500 for horses that wish to race in the finals. The Green Acres Division will look to build off of the successful year of Premier Division racing at The Meadowlands in which three new records were established and yet another record equaled. More than $1.5 million was distributed in purse money during the Premier Division races while the average purse for each leg increased by 18% over 2013 levels. The Green Acres Division will be placed on hiatus effective for the foal crop of 2014. Its place will be taken by the newly legislated New Jersey Standardbred Development Fund. The Standardbred Development Fund will be open to all of the traditional New Jersey-sired horses as well as horses whose dams spend a minimum of 150 days in-state, inclusive of foaling, regardless of where the stallion may stand. This year, 221 "resident mares" were nominated to the program and they were in foal to many of the top sires in the country. Standardbred Development Fund races will begin for two-year-olds in 2016 and will be run that year in conjunction with the Green Acres program for three-year-olds. A full slate of Standardbred Development Fund races for all ages will be contested starting in 2017 Also on the horizon, the Meadowlands, together with the Standardbred Breeders and Owners Association of New Jersey, will be implementing a bonus program for several of its overnight races for New Jersey-sired horses beginning with racing on December 5, 2014. Effective on that date, races meeting the condition of non-winners of one, two, three or four pari-mutuel races will carry a 60 percent bonus to the purse for New Jersey-sired horses. The bonus program encompasses both sexes and gaits. by Christopher Castens, for the NJSS
Together with the Standardbred Breeders and Owners Association of New Jersey, The Meadowlands will be implementing a bonus program for several of its overnight races for New Jersey sired horses. The program will begin on Friday, December 5, 2014. Beginning with that date, races meeting the condition of non-winners of one (1), two (2), three (3) or four (4) pari-mutuel races will carry a sixty percent (60%) bonus to the purse for New Jersey Sired horses. The bonus program encompasses both sexes of horse as well as gait. The purse structure will be as follows: Non-Winners of 1: $10,000 (Plus $6,000 for NJ-Sired horses) Non-Winners of 2: $12,500 (Plus $7,500 for NJ-Sired horses) Non-Winners of 3: $15,000 (Plus $9,000 for NJ-Sired horses) Non-Winners of 4: $17,500 (Plus $10,500 for NJ-Sired horses) Therefore, a New Jersey Sired horse will race for $16,000 in a non-winners of one (1) event, $20,000 in a non-winners of two (2) event, $24,000 in a non-winners of three (3) event and $28,000 in a non-winners of four event. "Competing with the slot-enriched programs in surrounding states is not an easy thing for New Jersey racing as we all know," said Meadowlands Chairman Jeff Gural. "But as tough as it is on our racing product, it is devastating to our breeding industry. This program has been to designed to help support the breeders in the state of New Jersey and help encourage horsemen to support New Jersey sired yearlings that go through the sales ring." Tommy Luchento, President of the SBOANJ agreed with Mr. Gural's sentiments. "I am very proud to announce this program together with The Meadowlands. We continue to work together in helping both the on-track product and the breeders in this state. We have a lot of work to do, but this is a positive step for the New Jersey program and I expect more good things in the future. I want to thank Jeff Gural and his team for working with us in formulating this plan." Any horsemen with questions regarding the program can contact Meadowlands Director of Racing Operations Darin Zoccali, or the SBOANJ. by Darin Zoccali, for the Meadowlands
"We (SBOANJ) had spoken with Jeff Gural and he was pretty adamant about banning Brian Sears," said Tom Luchento, president of the Standardbred Breeders and Owners Association of New Jersey (SBOANJ). "He has his reasons. Whether they were valid reasons or not, I can't say because he did not share all the reason with us." Last week management at the Meadowlands Racetrack in East Rutherford, NJ contacted Brian Sears and informed him he could not drive in any harness racing at the Meadowlands, Tioga Downs and Vernon Downs. All tracks that are owned by businessman/horseman Jeff Gural. "We are not happy with it," Luchento said pertaining to the SBOANJ. "This is something that is Jeff's call. We talked that unless he came up with something substantial that this was not an easy pill to swallow, just telling the guy to take a walk. By the same token I think that Jeff needs to sit down with him (Sears) and that they have to iron this out." Sears, 46, is one of the leading drivers in the harness racing industry. According to the United States Trotting Association, Sears has 8,832 career victories and $153,829.234 in purse earnings by the horses he had driven. He hails from a family deep in harness racing tradition. His late grandfather, Gene, is a member of the Hall of Fame and his father, Jay, is a prominent owner, breeder, trainer and driver. "I am pretty confident that they will work this out and that is going to happen," Luchento said. "I am disappointed that something like this has had to happen. Do I think this will get ironed out? Absolutely yes. I think Jeff and Brian will sit down, work their differences out and will come together and end this. "We are not taking sides with anyone on this issue," Luchento said. "I am not siding with Jeff Gural and I am not against Brian Sears. It is our job at the SBOANJ to protect our horsemen but if Jeff Gural has something and he brings it up and there is a legitimate beef that they have to work out depending on what that is. 'At the very end," Luchento said, "I know they will work it out." By Steve Wolf, for Harnesslink.com

A patchwork of angry protests against Egypt's military rulers that began on Thursday following the killing of at least 74 football fans in Port Said, overnight funnelled into a giant wave of dissent that descended on the Interior Ministry, the icon of state power in Cairo.
Clashes with the security forces at Port Said and outside the Interior Ministry had killed four people and injured over a thousand. Most were victims of frenzied firing of teargas rounds, bird shot and rubber bullets. Ranya El-Sobhy, an ophthalmologist who treated patients all night, said rubber bullets had ruptured the eye balls of 14 patients who were brought to the Qasr-al-Ain hospital where she worked, Al Ahram reported on its website. Dr. Ranya, who participated in Friday's protests at Tahrir Square, —the famous symbol of the Egyptian uprising that brought down the former strongman, Hosni Mubarak — is part of the Eye Doctors of the Revolution group, a professional body clamouring for Egypt's political rebirth.
Pitched battles
Apart from fighting pitched battles on Mansour Street, which leads towards the Interior Ministry, the protesters sloganeered for the exit of the Supreme Council of the Armed Forces (SCAF) — the interim contraption meant to steer Egypt's transition to democracy.
Most protesters are convinced that the military and the security forces abetted, if not plotted, Wednesday's bloodbath at a football stadium at Port Said — a perception that is hard to confirm. If it was not connivance, they ask, how was it that the so-called fans of a local football club who unleashed the carnage were allowed to enter the stadium armed to the teeth? Many believe the 'ultras' — die-hard fans of Egypt's' football clubs, in this case the Al Ahly football club — were targeted because they imparted a cutting edge to some of the key anti-government protests that have fundamentally changed Egypt.
Countering the perception that the killings in Port Said were born out of vendetta against the Al Ahly 'ultras', authorities have gone out of the way to show that the tragedy in Port Said was the result of incompetence, or worse, at the local level. The resignation of the Governor of Port Said has been accepted and top security officials of the city dismissed.
Going beyond bitter sporting rivalries and focusing purely on the perceived misdeeds of the state, fans of rival sporting clubs joined hands overnight to seek answers from the military.
On Friday, nearly a thousand people converged at a corner of the Tahrir Square, some waving flags of rival football clubs along with the Egyptian national flag. By late afternoon on Friday, Tahrir Square assumed the appearance of a rear base of a still developing protest at the nearby Mansour Street and Mohamed Mahmoud Street.
Protesters had overnight torn down the protective wall that the security forces had raised to prevent crowds surging from Tahrir into Mohamed Mahmoud Street, a radial that leads in the direction of the American University of Cairo campus and the Interior Ministry.
Iconic status
In the struggle to democratise Egypt after the fall of Mr. Mubarak, Mohamed Mahmoud Street has acquired iconic status. In November, 43 protesters who failed to storm the Interior Ministry fell in this alley to ceaseless attacks by the security forces.
Throughout Friday, protesters of various ideological hues headed towards Tahrir Square. Thousands assembled at the nearby Mostafa Mahmoud Square chanted anti-military slogans, just before commencing their march towards the Square.

Tennessee Senate Majority Leader Mark Norris, the 2014 Council of State Governments national chair and a 2002 CSG Toll Fellow, selected "State Pathways to Prosperity" as his chair's initiative. He believes states can play a role in helping to ensure residents have the necessary skills to fill the jobs. The initiative focuses not only on education, but also on other issue that might affect an individual's ability to work.
According to The National Association of State Budget Officer's State Expenditure Report, total state spending (including both state and federal funds) grew by an estimated 5.7 percent in FY 2014, a significant jump from the 2.2 percent growth rate in FY 2013. In FY 2012, year-over-year total state spending fell by 1.1 percent. The recent boost in state expenditures is due primarily to a jump in spending from federal funds, which increased by 7.6 percent in FY 2014. Spending from state funds, on the other hand, grew by 4.8 percent.
Following the deluge of major transportation funding packages passed by states in 2013, elections and other factors combined to make 2014 a somewhat quieter year on that front. But as 2015 legislative sessions approach, a large number of states appear poised to tackle transportation funding. While some states are holdovers from years past as a result of previously unsuccessful efforts, there are also a handful of relative newcomers to the list this year. Their reasons for addressing the issue now and the urgency with which they are approaching it may vary, but there are plenty of common justifications and common solutions that already appear to be emerging.
President Obama addressed the nation in a prime time speech Nov. 20 to define his executive action on immigration. In a highly anticipated move, the president's executive order has focused the nation on the future of U.S. immigration policy and aims to encourage Congress to pass comprehensive legislation. Congressional and some state leaders have threatened law suits, impeachment, and a government shutdown over the President's executive order.
In an era of constrained capital budgets and escalating expenses associated with transportation project construction, policymakers may be tempted to consider only the short-term, upfront costs of those projects with little thought about their future costs. But improving long-term decision making will require planners and policymakers to begin thinking more about maintaining and operating transportation assets over time and factoring the accompanying costs into their planning. This eCademy highlights a new report from the American Society of Civil Engineers and the Eno Center for Transportation, including policy innovations recommended at the federal, state and local levels for expanding the use of life cycle cost analysis to more accurately reflect the actual costs of transportation investments.
On Thursday, Nov. 20 a group of state legislators and education officials met with staff from the White House Intergovernmental Affairs and representatives from the U.S. Departments of Education and Health and Human Services. An update on the Administration's priorities, the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act (WIOA) and critical early education initiatives were discussed.
The U.S. Environmental Protection Agency is preparing to release a new National Ambient Air Quality Standard for ground-level ozone. Based on recommendations from EPA's science advisers and staff, the EPA is expected to announce a more stringent standard, likely in the range of 70 to 60 parts per billion, down from the 2008 standard of 75 parts per billion. A more strict ozone requirement could be a challenge for some states and counties to attain, generating areas of noncompliance around the U.S. accompanied by a hefty price tag. This CSG eCademy session offers federal, state and industry perspectives on the complexity of meeting lower ozone emission standards and the associated costs.
U.S. veterans involved in the justice system face unique challenges. Since 2008, court officials have begun to step in to prevent jail time for veterans suffering from mental health disorders. Judge Robert Russell of Buffalo, N.Y., has offered one solution--specialized veterans treatment court.
The new advertising campaign for the Federal Voting Assistance Program makes clear its mission for military and civilian voters living overseas: "Americans make small votes every day and we want to make sure that you get your most important vote home." The program, a part of the U.S. Department of Defense, is using that campaign—in addition to an active social media presence and other efforts—to spread the word about the resources it is providing for citizens living overseas, according to Scott Wiedmann, the Federal Voting Assistance Program's director of communications.
The language of workforce development is changing and the federal government's shift in focus presents both some big opportunities and challenges for states. In July, President Obama signed the Workforce Innovation and Opportunity Act—also known as WIOA. It was a reauthorization of the legislation formerly known as the Workforce Investment Act of 1998. The act requires regional and statewide collaboration between workforce development programs, industry leaders and educators. Each state will be required, beginning July 1, 2016, to submit a four-year unified strategy that identifies skills gaps with employers and how the state is going to close those gaps.

Review: Stargate Universe - Justice
by Jane Boursaw, posted Dec 4th 2009 11:58PM
(S01E10) "You put ordinary people under enough stress, I think you'll find they're capable of anything. – Dr. Rush
While watching this episode of Stargate Universe, I kept thinking of the "Court Martial" episode of the original Star Trek series. Captain Kirk is tried for the wrongful death of a crewmate, but Spock discovers via a 3D chess game that the computer's system has been tampered with and presents the evidence at the trial. Yes, I'm that geeky.
Ok, so that's about all these episodes have in common, and there's only so much you can do with the "trial in space" story. It boils down to the characters, and in this instance, the battle lines were drawn even further in this compelling little murder mystery.

Staff Size: 2?10 people
Average Duration of Services: 30?60 minutes
Pro Tip: If you crate your pets and move furniture and other valuables out the way, we can clean your home much more quickly.
The Carpet Scientist takes a precise approach to carpet cleaning. Its techs start by pre-treating soiled areas with an all-natural cleaner that helps break up dirt and stains so they're easier to remove. Then, once the soil is loosened, it's extracted using a truck-mounted vacuum, before powerful steamers are deployed to clean the carpets down to the pad. Best of all, the process leave behind no residue and is effective on carpets of all thickness and flying abilities. In addition to treating carpets, the crews can also clear dryer vents to prevent household fires and clean air ducts to remove mold and allergens and make the air easier to breathe.
As anyone who's tried to blow the dust out of their computer keyboard or bellybutton knows, cleaning with air is difficult. That's why, instead of cleaning air ducts with negative air pressure like many companies, Simply Ducts swabs out homes' airways with rotobrushes. These tools spin their bristles down ducts' farthest reaches, sweeping out all particulate matter, mold, and dust mites. This thorough, direct-contact service gives ducts a comprehensive cleaning that leaves internal air cleaner and safer to breathe.
No matter where the A+Plus Cleaners service truck roams, you can expect to find a trail of squeaky-clean residences in its wake. This truck, which hosts powerful truck-mounted cleaning equipment, is manned by professional technicians who have made it their mission to restore cleanliness and order to every home they visit. They do this by scrubbing streaks off windows, scouring carpets for stains and crumbs, and sending rotary brushes deep into ducts to remove contaminants and dislodge any Santas that got stuck there by mistake.
Signature service: Air duct cleaning
Reservations/Appointments: Required
Established: 2014
Staff Size: 1 person
Average Duration of Services: 1?2 hours
Brands Used: Cobra rotary brush
Harnessing the power of truck-mounted equipment, Great Guys Cleaning's bonded and insured team thoroughly cleans everything from carpets and air ducts to chimneys, upholstery, and wood floors. When refreshing carpets, they use eco-friendly products that won't leave any chemicals behind, while vents and chimneys get scoured free of debris and allergen-producing contaminants with a nylon rotobrush. Their skills also extend to mending tattered carpets and rugs.

Lamar Odom: Cut Off By Crack Dealer!by Free Britney at . Updated at . Comments
Lamar Odom's crack addiction is beyond bad. We're talking the point where even his own dealer, a man who deals crack for a living, had to cut him off.
TMZ quotes sources close to the dealer in claiming that he had delivered the powerful substance to the NBA star all summer long, but it got to be too much.
Last week, Lamar Odom's crack addiction became insatiable.
Incessantly, he would call, demanding more and more crack.
Apparently even his longtime, go-to dealer got scared enough to cut Lamar off ... partly for his own good but mostly to cover his own behind as well.
After all, if Odom dies, he'd no longer be off the grid.
Authorities would investigate and come down on him like wife Khloe Kardashian is trying to come down on her husband, only he'd actually go to prison.
Lamar, of course, has not necessarily stopped using.
He just had to find a new source, which isn't hard if you're invested in the whole scene like he apparently is. Guy has his connections all over it seems.
The name Polina Polonsky ring a bell?
In fact, after leaving rehab after one day, rumors surfaced that he wasn't ready to get clean or admit he had an issue, and is already back on drugs.
He's refused multiple interventions from Khloe Kardashian's family, his former NBA teammates and his friends from NYC, but no one can get through.
There are reports that Odom is receiving out-patient treatment for addiction, and though this has not been confirmed, we really hope it's the case.
Any treatment is better than nothing right now.
On a positive note, he was last seen Friday at a sushi restaurant, where he ordered soup and green tea and was described as upbeat and healthy-looking.
So there's that.
I think this whole thing about Lamar is just somewhat of a hoax ... Just to make up story so the rating of their reality show will soar ....so now it's Lamar and Khloe's turn and who's next ? Robert ? Scott ? Brody ? Or the patriarch Bruce ? God forbids, please save the two younger ones Kendal and Kylie ! Now that Kim is a mother so there's no more exciting plots .... I think this is just a hoax ! I don't buy all this ! So stupid and wasting my time !
my stepmother just got a six-month old Infiniti G Coupe only from working part time off a home pc... great post to read www.Jobs94.com
Who goes to rehab for one day really. If lamar is on crack get help has he been seen buying using or seeking this drug no if he has issues putting it in the media wont help some things are private let them work through their problems not by pointing fingers but with support finding what they feel happen to cause the drug use sometimes the media can make something small seem so BIG something is going on with him but its non of our business what goes on in khole or lamars personal life...
A crack dealer with a conscience? Doubtful. A crack dealer worried he will get caught because his buyer is in the media? More likely. So THG...how is it you have first hand knowledge of what a crack dealer's intentions are? Did you interview him/her? Doubtful. Did you post this story to get attention? More likely. That said, I hope Lamar gets the help he needs, if not for himself then for his children. In the words of the late Whitney Houston "Crack is Whack".
This is ridiculous...If it was a ordinary person they would prob be in jail for having crack on them, catch the crack on Lamar and lock him away, stories like this of repeated drug use gets very old when it comes to these dumb celebrities, REALLY
There hasn't been any mention of his dad since he was on Khloe and Lamar. Where has he been? I thought his dad battled a heroin addiction.
I have to agree.He is a celebrity, yes.He is also someone's child.I understand he is a nice guy too.Just because he can afford a lot of crack doesn't mean he deserves to die. Hope he gets help BEFORE he becomes a statistic.
When did dealers start doing interviews
Lamar really needs to listen to his wife and friends cause crack isn't no joke. I really hope that it doesn't take something real bad to happen. Nothing can be that bad everybody loses a family memeber,a friend,and loses a job that's life.You know it's bad when your dealer cuts you off cause he doesn't want to go to jail(that's bad).I pray that he'll listen and gets some help cause he's heading down a street named DEATH.
Can't this just be about a man, that most say is a good man, fighting or not to stop his drug habit. Can we not believe that his wife wants what is best for him. I wish them well and hope that they can save him.
