PORTLAND — It was the first of what Brent Richards hopes will be many starts for the Portland Timbers, and just his third appearance in a Major League Soccer match.
But Richards is already tired of the what-ifs.
After failing to score on three chances in Saturday's 1-0 loss to Chivas USA at Jeld-Wen Field, the Camas native expressed both satisfaction and frustration.
The satisfaction came from a solid individual showing and a team effort that the Timbers believed was of winning quality. The frustration came from missing on scoring chances that might have turned the what-ifs into a win.
"I'm disappointed I didn't put any away. I thought I should have," Richards told reporters after Saturday's match. "I'm getting tired of saying the same thing game after game, where I say, 'I should have done this. I should have done that.' That's something that needs to change and I need to work on in practice."
Richards thought he should have scored in Tuesday's exhibition match against Aston Villa. On Saturday, three times he was in position to give Portland a first-half lead.
He sent a clean header wide right from a difficult angle after out-jumping a defender. He made a strong run to get on the end of a Franck Songo'o pass, but his one-time shot from 15 yards in front of goal went just wide. He took a hard shot from just inside the 18-yard box that forced a save from Chivas goalkeeper Dan Kennedy.
"The coaches are pretty happy with how well I can strike a ball. They're telling me if I get in those situations just take that shot and get it on target," Richards said. "That's what I needed to do, and I did it but I didn't get it away from Kennedy, and that was unfortunate."
Richards said he needed better composure in those moments. But he was not the only Timber forward wishing they had done better with scoring chances.
Veteran striker Kris Boyd missed several chances that were as good or better than those Richards had -- among them stumbling and missing the ball with an open goal from four yards away.
"I've missed worse," the Scottish striker said through a small grin.
That is life as a forward in the game of soccer. Richards understands that.
On Saturday, he showed skills beyond finishing that could earn him a consistent spot in the lineup.
His long throw-ins in the attacking third of the field can create scoring chances for Boyd and others. And his leaping ability makes him a useful target for long balls out of the defensive end, as well as around the goal mouth. Goalkeeper Troy Perkins routinely punted the ball toward Richards as part of the game plan.
"First half, I thought I did fairly decent. I won just about all the balls in the air," Richards said. "Second half, I started to struggle a little bit more. I think they started to learn how to deal with my leaping ability and that made it a little bit tougher."
Richards played on the right wing for 60 of his 74 minutes. He traded wings with Songo'o an hour into the match. Richards said he was comfortable with his assignment and credited the communication from right back Kosuke Kimura for helping him through his first start.
Ultimately, though, Richards' first MLS start didn't provide a winning script.
"We did good things," he said, "but we didn't do enough."
Reserves win — Forward Bright Dike scored a hat trick to guide the Portland Timbers Reserves to a 4-2 win over the Chivas USA Reserves in front of 6,576 fans at Jeld-Wen Field on Sunday afternoon.

Nashua man in critical condition after Brookline accident
Raymond Beauregard, 20, was driving a 2007 Honda Civic north on Route 13 just after 4:30 p.m. when his car crossed into the southbound lane and was struck by a 2012 Freightliner van operated by James Keavney, 62, of Fitchburg, Mass., police said.
Beauregard was taken by Brookline Ambulance to St. Joseph Hospital in Nashua and later transferred to the Lahey Clinic in Burlington, Mass., for medical treatment. Police Chief Bill Quigley said Beauregard was not wearing a seat belt and, as a result, had to be extricated from under the dashboard.
Beauregard was in critical condition Wednesday night, but Quigley said Thursday morning that police have not heard from the hospital concerning how he is doing this morning. Keavney was not injured in the crash.
The road was extremely icy at the time of the accident, police said, but what caused it remains under investigation. Anyone who witnessed it is asked to call police at 673-3755.

Seth Macfarlane - Seth MacFarlane to Host Oscars 2013
Picture: Seth MacFarlane HBO's Annual Emmy Awards Post Awards Reception at the Pacific Design Center Los Angeles, California - 23.09.12
The man behind one of the USA's most controversial comedies Family Guy, as well as its spin off The Cleveland Show, and American Dad, Seth Macfarlane will be hosting the 85th Oscars on Sunday 24th February, 2013. MacFarlane's latest work was 'Ted', the comedy about a mischievous animated bear voiced by MacFarlane himself and starring Mark Wahlberg and Mila Kunis.
The Academy Awards producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron said "We are thrilled to have Seth MacFarlane host the Oscars. His performing skills blend perfectly with our ideas for making the show entertaining and fresh... He will be the consummate host, and we are so happy to be working with him."
In response to this tremendous accolade, MacFarlane responded by saying "It's truly an overwhelming privilege to be asked to host the Oscars" and in true comedic tradition, followed this saying, "My thoughts upon hearing the news were, one, I will do my utmost to live up to the high standards set forth by my predecessors; and two, I hope they don't find out I hosted the Charlie Sheen Roast."
Predictions are already being made for who and what will be nominated at next year's Oscars. The Guardian predicts that mostly films yet to be released, including Cloud Atlas, Anna Karenina and Les Miserables, will do well at next year's awards.
In a change of tradition, the nominations for the Oscars will be released before the Golden Globes, with a date set for January 10th 2013.

Police department's statistics tell story of crime in Derry
The statistics also demonstrate the unpredictability of crime in Derry and the difficulty in predicting who will break the law next, said veteran Derry Police Capt. Vernon Thomas.
Thomas spoke recently on a set of crime statistics from 2002 to 2012 of reported offenses released by the department. The statistics show that crime tends to run in cycles, with drugs serving as a catalyst for other crimes.
Reported drug-related offenses were up from 137 in 2011 to 180 in 2012, representing a 31 percent increase. Five years ago, there were 128 reported offenses compared to 140 in 2002. Statistics are compiled annually and were not available for this year.
Many robberies committed in town involve physical force, or what is known as strong-arm robberies. Drugs are often involved in these crimes, or "drug rips, " he said. For example, someone goes to buy drugs but instead of receiving the drugs, the cash is stolen and the person leaves empty handed. Thomas said he is stunned at how people sometimes react following these crimes.
He added that police usually thank the person for telling them and end up still investigating the crime.
Better technology has improved surveillance cameras, as technology has changed from VCR systems to today's digital systems, Thomas said. Police are able to access better images of suspects and release them to the public more quickly and efficiently.
Some Derry residents saWhen asked if Derry residents were safer today than they were 10 years ago, Thomas said the 56-member department has fewer officers on patrol now than back then.
"There is a whole group of people out there that don't want to bother us with the stuff that goes on in their neighborhood," he said. "Please don't do that. If you see something going wrong, call us when it's happening so that we can help. And that keeps these statistics low."

I've always been uncomfortable with the idea of
virginity. It's so unfriendly. If you are "a virgin" in the
traditional sense, you are somehow more innocent and pure (regardless of how
much of a little bitch you may be) than your somehow wiser, shiftier and
dirtier counterparts.
It's also physiologically dodgy (horses, bicycles, anyone?) and far too,
well... slippery. It's also so ingrained into our culture, that young girls
routinely think blowing their boyfriends or allowing back access
"preserves" their innocence. And all that's aside from the very
common, clumsy logistics of heavy petting and "almost penetration"
But "virginity" as we currently define it is much more ominous than
A chat I had with a Women24 blogger last year sticks in my mind. We were
discussing the ages we lost our virginity, and she mentioned a horrifyingly
pre-sexual age, and then apologised, saying that "it's a different thing
for her, because she'd been raped as a child, and her virginity stolen".
This cut me to my quick, as I am sure it just cut you.
My next reaction was one of outrage... seriously? We have a society so lavishly
rotten that we don't only routinely maim and hurt children, but that we leave
them with a societal taint too? This intelligent, brave and interesting woman –
who is now 40plus – feels she does not have the right to mark her own passage
into sexual identity.
Well, screw that. I don't want to live in a society where a 6-year-old child
can't be a virgin. I don't want to let mean girls blow the planet and then
flaunt their "virginity" over their peers. Where lesbians can
conceivably be virgins forever.
But mostly, I believe that until we reinvent the idea of virginity, an
outdated, possessive male construct , we can't give real weight to women's
sexual liberation.
All that in mind, I have a question. At what age did you lose your virginity? And I don't mean your hymen.
I mean how old were you when you had your first satisfying sexual experience, penetrative or
not? It might be the first time you had an orgasm by yourself, or the first
time you had an intimate, consensual sexual experience than opened up the world
of fulfilling sex for you?
I was 16. (But you knew that, Mom. Stop cringing.) Buy me a drink and I'll tell
you the story; suffice to say it was clumsy, gentle and sweet.
Those planned, romantic moments you see in movies are a far cry from what happens in real life. One reader shares her hilarious story.
Being in a happy marriage is possible if you follow these three steps.

text: 03 April 2014 2014 Photo Contest Voting Begins Today! Posted by: John Yeingst | 1 comment | Share: This year we received thousands of spectacular photos for the 5th Annual Defenders Photo Contest. I had the task of narrowing the submissions down to ten, and I must say there are some extremely talented photographers out there. I have seen the evidence! This was truly my favorite part of the contest because I had the opportunity to see a wide variety of beautiful wild life and wild lands photos from across North America. And they were from all of you! But my part is done here, and now I need your help picking the winners. As I stated, we have narrowed the photos down to ten. I need you to pick your top three choices from the bunch and decide on the winners. The grand-prize winner of the contest will attend a week-long photo tour of Yellowstone national park with world-renowned photographer and longtime contributor to Defenders, Jess Lee. The other prize winners will receive gift certificates to B&H Photo Video in New York. I'm sure it is going to be just as difficult for you as it was for me. So sit back, relax and check out life through the lens! Our voting page will remain active until 10PM ET on Friday April 11, so be sure to get your votes in before then! An honorable mentions slideshow will also run after the winners have been announced so that you have a chance to see some of the amazing submissions we received this year. Good luck and thank you for all of your help! VOTE NOW> One Response to "2014 Photo Contest Voting Begins Today!" Rev. Leta Rosetree April 6th, 2014 I'm voting in support of those most in danger and least able to speak for themselves: the manatees, the wolves, and the littlest critters who need our help the most.

Before Twitter and YouTube could respond, millions of users saw video of journalist James Foley being beheaded. An equally large number of people were privy to naked photos of celebrities on sites such as 4chan and reddit, after a hacker illegally stole the photos from the cloud. These were eventually removed, but not before a surprising controversy rose up around these instances: Should social media sites be in the business of censoring content-and, by extension, users?

Chaz Ring-Noonan, age 26, Sun Prairie
Mr. Ring-Noonan was cited for Texting While Driving, Imprudent Speed, and Failure to Control Vehicle. Additional tentative charges are possible.
A 26-year old Sun Prairie man said he dropped his phone while texting while driving last Friday afternoon. He said he reached down to get the phone from the floorboard, and swerved across the oncoming lane of Hammersley Rd. traffic and into a tree.
When an officer arrived, the small SUV was on top of a large downed tree. A syringe was found near the SUV and drug paraphernalia inside the vehicle. The driver said hours earlier he had ingested heroin, but maintained he crashed because of texting.
A witness said he was driving at a high rate of speed just prior to knocking down the tree. Results of blood tests will determine if additional tentative charges will be filed.

Manufacturing Day highlights collaboration in Washington County
Send this to a friend

With Washington County having one of the highest rates of job growth throughout the country, it brings both opportunities and challenges.
On Friday, to celebrate manufacturing day, educators, elected officials and industry representatives gathered at Penn Commercial Business and Technical School to talk about how they can better work together to ensure that, as jobs are being created, there are individuals in the region with the skills needed to fill them.
Alex Paris, president of Alex E. Paris Contracting, said whether it's in construction or manufacturing, overall there is a dire need of quality workers, a need he only sees continue to grow.
"It's a battle we have to win here," Paris said. "We have the opportunity to keep them here and keep them employed."
Jim Johnston, facility manager at Caterpillar Inc. in Houston, Pa., said there is a push and pull between industry and educators, and both need to make sure they are holding up their end.
"If we do it right, we can leave a legacy of starting this process," he said.
Johnston said only about 35 percent of Caterpillar's job applicants are qualified for a position, and many new hires still lack the basic skills they need to perform the job.
With most of the products manufactured at the Houston facility serving the underground mining field, Johnston said they almost literally have the weight of the world on their shoulders, so it's essential to have reliable people and a good manufacturing process.
"We need education with a purpose," said Rep. Brandon Neuman, D-Washington. "It's not just about getting an education, it's about getting an education that leads to a career."
Justine Coyne covers manufacturing and higher education.

Stopped in late, just before closing. The wait staff was very accommodating and asked us not to rush. That was appreciated. The sushi was good.
I've had better sushi. Chewy calamari with undercooked flour. Not terrible, but not great. Service was very snobby. Didn't seem like there was a manager present. Came on a Friday and 5:00, asked for a table for two. The hostess responded "ummm do you have a reservation because we are booked and you will have to sit at the bar"...
I always eat here for lunch and the food is great. I usually do take out just because I have other things to do during my lunch hour.
My husband & I had lunch here and we really enjoyed it. The service was awesome and the food was excellent. We got the bulgogi taco as an appetizer which was awesome! The sushi rolls we had were also delicious, my favorite was the uncg spartan roll. I recommend that you ask to sit outside, their outdoor space is beautiful.
Fist of all, both speed and quality of their service are terrible. I do not recommend this restaurant for any kind of visit.
Having said that, food may be good, but that's about it. 8 out of 10 times of my visit, the service was way too slow. Even when it is not crowded, it takes them about 20 minutes...
Food was okay. Service not great. Went twice in ten days and the servers always cram you right up against other customers along this narrow hallway even though the nice area around the sushi bar is empty! Not cool. For some reason the food at the west market location is much more consistent.
My faith was restored after trying several bad or mediocre Japanese food. This place serves tasty and artistically presented sushi rolls. Their bento box was great as well. Will definitely go back to this great sushi place with good service.
I've been to Sushi Republic for both lunch and dinner. They pretty much have the same menu for lunch and dinner. Their food, service, ambiance were nothing but great. Menu prices are moderate.
Their drink selection is limited but good. We had a cold sake and it was great.
Our waiter was very professional and courteous. Parking can be tight...
Located close to Greensboro College in the campus neighborhood. Good sushi menu and tasty specialty rolls. Service was wonderful and my waitress was very professional. The drinks, Sake and wine selection are very good.
We went there for lunch today, and had the Tokyo Tower, spicy tuna wrap, and the mango wontons. The tower was beautiful....and tasty. The spicy tuna wrap was heavy on the rice, and light on the spicy tuna.... Tasty....but sure could've used a lot more tuna. The mango wontons were good....but chewy.....really didn't taste the mango. The waitress was super...

They, along with two others, were on a hunger strike demanding total prohibition in the State
Five of the seven students on hunger strike demanding the clamping of total prohibition in the State were whisked away by the police after midnight from their protest venue in front of the Government Law College here.
Fourth day
But they continued their fast for the fourth day at the Government Rajaji Hospital where they were forcibly admitted, said K. Anand, father of the law student, A. Nandhini, who initiated the fast on Monday.
Two other students, Joe Britto and A. Manikandan of Loyola College, Chennai, had left for Chennai to continue their protest, he added.
Besides Nandhini, the police detained S. Vijikumar, Vinod Kumar, Maranadu Karuppasamy, and Yuvarajan.
The police said that the students were detained under Section 151 of the Criminal Procedure Code.
The students refused to take medical treatment and continued their fast at the hospital.
"They have given in writing that they do not need any treatment," the police said.
The police claimed that two protestors, Vinod Kumar and Yuvarajan, consented to being administered intravenous fluids at the hospital.
Five held
Meanwhile, the police picked up five youth who staged a protest demanding the release of the arrested students.

The University Park Undergraduate Association rarely holds meetings without any legislation hitting the floor, but last night was an exception to the rule. Without any bills or policies to review, the UPUA instead voted on two new additions to the assembly to replace Garrett Warmbein and Ted Ritsick, who both resigned as a result of time constraints.
Author Zach Berger
Already craving turkey, stuffing, and pumpkin pie? You can make Thanksgiving dinner in a dorm microwave. Here's how.
Just one week after the resignation of two UPUA representatives was announced, the assembly was shocked again when two of its leaders said they will step down at the end of the semester. Speaker John Wortman cited time constraints and Internal Development Chair Ryan Belz was vague in his speech, but there was odd tension brewing in the room as the two hinted that other factors were at play.
While some players said that they were thinking about avenging last year's 44-24 defeat in Memorial Stadium, the sentiment most widely heard from the Nittany Lions after the game was that they won for Ryan Keiser.
There are big changes coming to Greek Life at Penn State. The days of a downtown free-for-all of fun amongst fraternities and sororities are far behind us as concerns about safety continue to grow.
It took three hours and a plethora of exhausting debate within the UPUA assembly to reach the end of last night's meeting, but on paper, absolutely nothing happened. Three pieces of legislation came to the floor, all from the Internal Development committee, but the group will be hard at work again as all three were referred back to the committee.
The Pennsylvania Supreme Court has denied an NCAA request that would cancel a January trial on the legality of the sanctions. The NCAA filed an application for a writ of prohibition last month, but the state's highest court turned that down today according to AP's Mark Scolforo.
Maryland head coach Randy Edsall was publicly reprimanded by the Big Ten in a statement issued Monday for Saturday's pre-game handshake incident.
Bob Costas said that the media went with the easy narrative when blaming football culture for the Penn State scandal.
The UPUA assembly sped through an increasingly rare uneventful meeting last night, hosting a guest speaker and passing two tame pieces of legislation.
Gubernatorial candidate Tom Wolf came to campus today to meet students and address supporters at Penn State. The campaign bus pulled up on Curtin Avenue outside of the Berkey Creamery bright and early this morning to the sound of applause from a crowd of about a hundred.
If you spent any time outside of Beaver Stadium on Saturday afternoon ahead of the Nittany Lions' primetime matchup with Ohio State, you likely noticed an eye-catching banner soaring through the State College skies. Distinct Collectibles, a figurine retailer, funded a plane that was trailed by four words: "Bring The Statue Home." Here's the story behind the company.
Penn State running back Zach Zwinak and safety Ryan Keiser, both seniors, will miss the rest of the season according to an announcement by head coach James Franklin on Monday.
It's natural to feel despondent after going through the emotional motions that accompany such a game. Over the course of just a few hours, you go through a roller-coaster that starts with pre-game excitement, leads to halftime depression, climbs towards overtime aspirations, and comes crashing down when the Buckeyes eke out a close one. Amid all of that doom and gloom does lie a very bright light at the end of this tunnel of football mediocrity.
After a heartbreaking double-overtime loss against Ohio State last night, you're likely in need of a good Sunday pick-me-up. Enter Michael Mauti, the former Penn State linebacker we all know and love for carrying the Nittany Lions through the sanction era.
With Penn State fans tailgating in the fields and parking lots below, a plane flew above Happy Valley this afternoon with a message to the school: "Bring the statue home."
Last night's Rally in the Valley was a big hit ahead of Saturday's primetime matchup with Ohio State, but the most exciting thing to come from the pep rally had nothing to do with football. The men's basketball team unveiled some sleek new throwback alternative uniforms in Penn State's original colors: pink and black.
In what appears to be an annual tradition for the University Park Undergraduate Association around Halloween, the organization saw a large contingent of minority students speak out against comments by representatives that they deemed offensive and racially insensitive. Following a tense and opinionated open student forum, the assembly later convened into a town-hall style committee of the whole meeting to hold a dialogue with the minority representatives.
Jong Seong Shim, a 20-year-old Penn State sophomore facing criminal charges after threatening to shoot people at the HUB, has waived his right to a preliminary hearing. According to a release from the Centre County District Attorney's Office, Shim's charges have been sent to the Court of Common Please. Shim is facing two counts of terroristic threats and one count of disorderly conduct.
Amidst a climate of uproar in the heat of a long, grueling, and vastly fatal Vietnam War, a troublesome pattern of violent protests on college campuses was developing across America. It wasn't all that long ago when students marched in droves to university president Eric Walker's house and sent rocks crashing through his windows as the president retreated to safety.
The UPUA may have finally put the closed meeting issue to bed during its Wednesday night assembly meeting when an amendment to the organization's by-laws hit the floor.
A burn patient was taken to the hospital on Wednesday evening after a propane explosion on campus. According to a report from the Centre Daily Times, a propane tank exploded in a lab at the Agricultural and Biological Engineering Building at around 5:30 p.m.
While you shouldn't expect to see new tables coming through the Phyrst's big green door anytime soon, there are changes coming to the bar. Owner Mike Fullington said that the bar is planning to expand in the near future, pushing back the wall behind the stage about 20 feet.
Along with any old bar, there's bound to be some tradition to find within its dark, wooden walls. The Phyrst isn't just any old bar, and so it has a whole lot more than just some tradition. In fact, State College's favorite hole-in-the-wall drinking establishment is so steeped in tradition that it's practically flowing out the front door onto Beaver Avenue.
The Student Activity Fee Board decided to pilot a process that would change how fee levels are determined at its Friday meeting. Board member John Wortman, also the UPUA Speaker, presented a motion that would create a test run process to solely consider University Park when making a recommendation on the top tier.
A late-night pizza craving can drive people to do crazy things, but one State College man took it to another level early Saturday morning when he attempted to rob a Papa John's deliveryman at knifepoint.
The American Institute for Economic Research publishes an annual ranking of the nation's top college destinations. The 2014-2015 College Destinations Index is finished, and State College came in at fifth in the nation.
The Student Financial Education Center is officially open for business. The SFEC, created collaboratively by UPUA and University Libraries, was founded back in January to provide students with advice on budgeting, student loads, and more.
The saga that will be talked about for years to come started two weeks ago when UPUA voted to hold a closed committee meeting as a means to discuss Al Lord's Board of Trustees resolution. On Wednesday night, the assembly officially passed legislation voting to oppose the Lord resolution.
New York Times writer and Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist John Branch spoke on campus Tuesday night, addressing a crowd of a few hundred students in the HUB Alumni Hall. Branch was one of two speakers to take part in the fall portion of the Foster-Foreman Conference, a speaker series featuring journalists put on by the College of Communications.

St Lary
Mountain stats
Lift count : 2 x Cable-cars 9 x Chairlifts 22 x Drag-lifts
Ride area 100km/1729 acres
Pass (Low/High Season) : £24.12-29.84 Day, £120.19-151.26 Week
The main village of Saint Lary lies at 630 metres in the Aure Valley; above here there are two small villages, Saint Lary La Cabane at 1,600 metres and Saint Lary Pla D'Adret at 1,700 metres. All three are connected by a series of lifts, with the upper villages reachable by road or from Saint Lary by the cablecar which takes you to the slopes.
This relatively small resort lies in the French Pyrenees and goes back to the 1950's. If you think that French ski resorts are massive purpose-built shams, Saint Lary will make you think again. What you get is a resort that is very snowboard-friendly, with good terrain that can be tackled by novices and riders with only a few days under their belts.
It's also a popular resort, however, which results in a number of long lift queues, especially at weekends.

Hi folks,
As background: like most people I suspect I'm awful about (a) getting professional training and (b) getting certification. I dislike training because I'm not the most social person in the world, and far too much of it involves breaks and lunches where you have to make small talk with people you're never going to see again. As for certification, typically it's not included in the package, so it's easy to let it slip and then not bother (I did a self financed MCSA in 2006, and then stupidly ended up not bothering with the exams).
I've contacted Firebrand, mostly because they come up a lot on Google, and they offer "high intensity" training where you're in residence (and purportedly do 12 hour days), followed by certification. That's great, because it makes it a lot more difficult to avoid the exam, but their courses inevitably are expensive.
1. Has anyone used Firebrand and/or have any other recommendations?
2. Has anyone tried any other form of training? e.g. on-site training. I tend to train much better with 1-on-1 training. More expensive of course, but I get more done. The ideal would be on-site training with a paid for exam at the end, with coaching on the exam, if such a thing exists?
Interested to hear any relevant thoughts.
My thoughts on these 'high intensity' training establishments is that is prepares you to pass the exam.
There was a problem a few years ago when I first started out in IT, where people were getting their MCSE but had no real world experience, aka 'Paper MCSE's'. The numerous Braindump websites didn't help either.
I know things have got better as I believe some of the exams went to more simulation based rather than just question based.
I too did all the training for MCSA with exams included in the training, but I fell apart in the first exam. Nerves just got the better of me and I failed it by 6 points! After that I became disillusion by it all and it became apparent that experience in my role was more important than doing things the 'Microsoft Way' as dictated in the exams. I am not however showing any disrespect towards the certifications as I know many employers would want to see them in place before even looking at you. I'm just crap at exam situations. However, I enjoy doing courses and meeting like minded people who are in a similar role and discussing technical and real world based scenarios. I did a Exchange 2007 course with Neos-IT back in 2009 which I thoroughly enjoyed and learnt a lot from, it was aimed at the project I was working on which was implementing an Exchange box into the School. Most of the other delegates on the course were network managers from other Schools and Colleges.
Just my thoughts.

Yale's Brandon Sherrod to join prestigious a cappella group, will miss 2014-15 season
May 13, 2014, 9:40 PM EST
Given the amount of talent due back for the 2014-15 season, Yale is seen by some as the biggest threat to Harvard's current reign as the class of the Ivy League. One of those players returning was supposed to be forward Brandon Sherrod, who averaged 6.8 points and 4.3 rebounds per game in 2013-14.
But Sherrod won't be a member of James Jones' program next season, thanks to the opportunity to join a prestigious group that has been in existence since 1909. On Tuesday it was announced that Sherrod is one of 14 Yale students to be named a member of the "Whiffenpoofs," an all-male a cappella group that takes its senior year off to perform all over the world.
While Sherrod did lament the fact that he won't be able to help his teammates in their quest to win the Ivy League, he didn't lose sight of just how much of an honor it is to embark on this new journey.
And the opportunity to do such things is something Sherrod's head coach sees as a positive.
"That's one of the things we talk about when we recruit kids, is what is available at Yale and the different opportunities they're going to have," he said. "Brandon's going to take advantage of one of them, and I understand."
Sherrod played an average of 21 minutes per game last season, starting 14 of Yale's 33 contests. Losing Sherrod will hurt some, but the Bulldogs have depth in the front court with junior Justin Sears (16.9 ppg, 6.9 rpg) leading the way. And with Javier Duren (13.6, 3.9, 3.1 apg) and Armani Cotton (8.5, 5.4) back on the perimeter, Yale has the look of a team capable of challenging Harvard for Ivy League supremacy.
Sherrod will retain his final season of eligibility, as he'll be able to rejoin the program for the 2015-16 campaign when he re-enters school.
Given the way in which revenue sports at the Division I level are discussed, a decision like Sherrod's will befuddle some. But clearly he's an example of an athlete who isn't on campus solely to play basketball.
Another interesting note about Sherrod: according to the Associated Press he hopes to one day become mayor of his hometown of Bridgeport, Conn.

The Model Aquatic Health Code, the federally created health and safety code covering all areas of public pools and aquatics facilities, from water chemistry to lifeguard training, is up for public comment for the last time.
The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, which is facilitating the landmark code, just released the latest draft, called the "knitted version," because its writers have woven together several subject-based modules which, until now, were being handled separately.
Like other model codes, the MAHC must be adopted by states and municipalities in order to take true effect. But some believe that, because it is being written and implemented by the federal government, its effects will reach past those jurisdictions that actually adopt it.
The MAHC covers 14 subject areas: facility design and construction; recirculation systems and filtration; disinfection and water quality; risk management and safety; facility maintenance and operation; monitoring and testing; contamination burden; hygiene facilities; fecal/vomit/blood contamination response; operator training; lifeguarding and bather supervision; regulatory program administration; ventilation and air quality; and preference/user guide/definitions.
This is the last time the public can comment on the code before its release later this year. The deadline for comments is May 27, 2014.
Reviewers can read the latest draft of the code and the annex, which explains the reasoning behind each provision, by going here: http://www.cdc.gov/healthywater/swimming/pools/mahc/structure-content/index.html.
