Annual Campus Security Report and Annual Fire Safety Report
Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College is concerned about the safety and welfare of all students, staff, faculty, and visitors, and is committed to providing a safe and secure environment. Because no campus is isolated from crime, Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College has developed a series of policies and procedures that are designed to ensure that every possible precautionary measure is taken to protect persons on campus. Although we have been fortunate in not experiencing a significant number of serious crimes, it would not be honest to state that such incidents have not taken place. We have taken numerous steps to enhance security in our buildings and on our grounds. In addition, we wish to provide all members of the College community with the facts about the policies and programs that are designed to increase safety and reduce crime.
Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College (FDLTCC) encourages all students and college community members to be fully aware of safety issues on the campus and to take action to prevent and to report illegal and inappropriate activities. Personal awareness and applying personal safety practices are the foundation of a safe community. FDLTCC students and staff are encouraged to promptly report crimes to campus officials and local law enforcement agencies.
The Dean of Student Services is the administrator directly responsible for working with local law enforcement officials for the security and safety of Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College students and staff. In the event of a life threatening emergency situation, members of the campus community are instructed to contact 911 and to then contact the Dean of Student Services or other campus officials, if possible. Because FDLTCC is a small, rural campus, it does not have a security force to provide security 24 hours a day, 7 days a week; however, FDLTCC works closely with local law enforcement agencies. Local law enforcement authorities randomly drive through the college campus for security purposes, in addition to being available in the event of emergency situations.
Pursuant to the Student Right to Know and the Campus Security Act, FDLTCC monitors criminal activity and publishes and maintains a three-year Campus Security Report and Data (See Campus Security Report Data). This report includes alleged criminal activity reported to College and the Cloquet Police Department and occurring on the campus of FDLTCC. The College will distribute a copy of this report to each current student and employee. FDLTCC will notify prospective students and employees of its availability, and will provide a copy of the report upon written request. FDLTCC currently has a variety of policies and procedures relating to campus security, and it expressly reserves the right to modify them or adopt additional policies or procedures at any time without notice. Such changes may appear in successive issues of this report.
A. Reporting Policies:
(1) In the event of an emergency situation during regular business hours, call 911 and go to the college's Information Desk and request to see an administrator.
(2) After 4:30 p.m. and on weekends, reports can be made by calling 911 (emergency only) or the Cloquet Police Department at: 879–1247 (non-emergency) or the Carlton County Sheriff's department at: 384–3236.
(3) Individuals reporting to FDLTCC officials who also wish to file a complaint with law enforcement agencies will be provided with assistance from FDLTCC upon request. FDLTCC normally requires a written complaint from someone to begin the investigation process. FDLTCC usually needs the assistance of the complainant in the disciplinary process against the accused. FDLTCC will make exceptions when necessary, including cases presenting clear danger to the victim and /or the College community.
(4) FDLTCC will issue an annual report of criminal activity reported to college officials and law enforcement agencies for crimes occurring on College property. The annual Campus Security report includes crimes alleged to have occurred on the campus. It includes the following reports or crimes:
I. Murder
Please Note: Information on level 3 offenders can be found at the Department of corrections website www.corr.state.mn.us/level3/ level3.asp and information about level 2 offenders can be provided by your local law enforcement agency.
(4) The Dean of Student Services or designee serves as the primary liaison for campus security with all law enforcement agencies.
(5) When reports are made to the Dean of Student Services or other college administrative personnel, the individual in charge/on duty will decide if a threat continues to exist to the campus community. If a threat continues to exist, a warning will be sent out informing the campus community of the threat.
B. Reporting Procedures:
All criminal activity occurring on campus is ultimately reported to local law enforcement agencies and the Dean Student Services. If a life threatening criminal activity is occurring, the campus community is instructed to call 911 for immediate assistance. In a non-life threatening situation, please contact the Cloquet Police Department at 879-1247 or the Carlton County Sheriff's Office at 384-3236. The Dean of Student Services or another college administrator should be notified immediately. The Dean of Student Services or designee will assist the complainant in completing criminal reports. These reports will also be forwarded to the suitable law enforcement agency. The Dean of Student Services or designee will assist the law enforcement agencies with investigations.
Every effort should be made to ensure that physical evidence is maintained and protected. Immediate reports will assist in preserving evidence.
If you are a victim of a crime or witness a crime:
Call 911 for any emergency including medical assistance, fire, suspicious person(s) or activities, crime reports, traffic accidents, or other illegal activities. If it is a non-emergency situation contact the Dean of Student Services or another college Administrator.
Obtain a description of the offender(s), including: gender, age, race, hair color, height, description of clothing, and any distinguishable features. Attempt to obtain a description and license number of any vehicle involved. Note the direction taken by offenders when they depart and report all available information to the Dean of Student Services or designee, or law enforcement officers.
Preserve the crime scene: Do not touch any items involved in the incident and do not allow anyone into the crime area until appropriate assistance arrives.
Campus officials will accept third-party reports in cases of sexual assault in order to protect the victim's identify.
All employees, faculty, or staff who become aware of an allegation of a violation of College policy, student code of conduct, civil or criminal law, should report the allegation to their supervisor and the Dean of Student Services or designee. The following people with significant responsibility for student and campus activities (not including counselors) must report potential criminal activity of which they are aware to the Dean of Student Services or designee: Activities/Organizations, Advisors, Admissions Representative, Affirmative Action Officer, Bookstore Supervisor, Disability Services Coordinator, Financial Aid Director, TRIO Advisors, Housing Director, Human Resources Officer, Registrar, as well as any assistants and associates.
C. Reporting Process:
FDLTCC recognizes and trains the campus community to understand that any employee of the college might have to take the lead during a crisis; however, the college has established a core group of people (see item D below) who are responsible for responding to crisis situations either at the time of their occurrence or immediately thereafter if timing is difficult (e.g., 2:00 a.m. on Sunday).
Timely notification to one or more members of the team should be made once a situation is deemed an emergency, unless issuing the notification will, in the professional judgment of responsible authorities, compromise efforts to assist a victim or to containing, respond to, or otherwise mitigate the emergency.
FDLTCC has developed an Emergency Response and Evacuation Plan which contains procedures the college implements in the event of emergency situations. The Emergency Response and Evacuation Plan will be shared with students at New Student Orientation and with faculty and staff at campus-wide annual meetings.
A. If a significant emergency or dangerous situation exists, the college community will be notified via their FDLTCC student and staff email accounts and/or directly by faculty, staff and administration, (unless issuing a notification will compromise efforts to contain the emergency.) Phones are located in each classroom and will be used in the event of an emergency.
To be notified by text message, staff and students are encouraged to register for the Star Alert System. Star Alert is an opt-in, emergency notification messaging system used by Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College. To receive emergency alerts, staff and students must register. In the event of an emergency, a text message will be sent to the cell number and/or an email will be sent to the email address provided. (Star Alert can be accessed from college's website under Current Students > Student eServices > Start Alert System)
C. During the school year, FDLTCC will conduct a test of emergency response and evacuation procedures. Results of the test will be documented and information will include: the nature of the exercise, time, date and whether the test was announced or unannounced.
D. Persons responsible for carrying out actions:
Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College is committed to the safety of students on campus. As part of this effort, the Housing Office requests emergency contact information be kept on record for all students in housing. Housing students have the option to register a confidential person/s to be notified in the case that the student is determined missing. Only authorized campus officials and law enforcement in furtherance of a missing person investigation have access to this information. This information will be used for notification if a student is reported missing for more than 24 hours. Students under the age of 18 and not emancipated must have the custodial parent or guardian as emergency contact. If a student is reported missing for more than 24 hours and no contact information is given, the college is obligated to contact the appropriate law enforcement agency. Official missing student reports will be referred immediately to the Housing Director and responsible campus safety officials. If emergency contact information has been provided by the student, the housing director will notify the contacts. If the student is determined to be missing, local law enforcement with jurisdiction in the area will be immediately contacted. If a student is reported missing for 24 hours, Jesse Stirewalt, Housing Director and Keith Turner, Dean of Student Services are to be notified. In the event that the Housing Director or the Dean of Student Services is not available, contact an administrator.
A. Personal Security Recommendations:
(1) Campus staff are available to assist you in protecting yourself by providing regular foot and/or vehicle patrols, safety and security programs, as well as various safety and security posters and brochures. However, only you can protect yourself by being aware of your surroundings and taking appropriate steps in preventing crime from happening.

(ii) Campus officials work closely with the local law enforcement agencies, and State and Federal law enforcement agencies to track and respond to campus criminal activity.
(iii) Report all crime immediately: All criminal activity on campus should be reported immediately to the Cloquet Police Department by calling 911 (emergency only) or 879-1247 (non-emergency). The Dean of Student Services should be notified by calling 879-0805 during normal work days. If the Dean of Student Services is not available, go to the college's Information Desk and ask for an administrator. After 4:30 p.m. or on weekends and holidays contact the Cloquet Police Department.
FDLTCC will assist the complainant in completing criminal reports. FDLTCC will accept the third party reports in certain cases, like sex offenses. FDLTCC prefers to receive reports from the victim as the detail is often more accurate when received directly from the victim. Maintain all physical evidence. Do not wash off or destroy what may be critical evidence.
(iv) Report as much detail as possible to ensure accurate reporting. If you are a victim of a crime, your immediate recall of the event is often the best.

Annual Fire Safety Report
The Higher Education Opportunity Act (HEOA, July 2010) specifies new campus safety requirements regarding fire safety issues. The statistics are collected via the Department of Educations web-based Campus Safety and Security Survey. Any institution that maintains on-campus student housing facility must collect fire statistics, keep a "fire log" and publish an annual Fire Safety Report. These requirement are new and separate from the Clery Act requirements.
Fond du Lac Tribal and Community College keeps a hard copy of its Fire Log. The copy is available from FDLTCC's Housing Director. The fire log for the recent 60-day period is open to public inspection, upon request, during normal business hours. The portion of the log that is older than 60 days will be made available within two business days of a request for public inspection. Information in the fire log is used to gather the statistics that are required for the Annual Fire Safety Report discussed above.
A. Definition of a Fire: For the purposes of fire safety reporting, a fire is, "Any instance of open flame or other burning in a place not intended to contain the burning or in an uncontrolled manner."
The following statistics must be collected and reported, both in the annual fire safety report and the Department of Education's web-based data collection system, for each on-campus student housing facility. (See Fire Safety Statistics document.)
III. PROCEDURES FOR STUDENT HOUSING EVACUATION: At the first indication of a fire, whether it is a persistent smoke or fire alarms, smoke, or flames, follow these procedures:
A. Housing Fire Alarm Procedures:
The following procedures must be followed by residents, RA's and staff, in the event of a fire alarm activation or any emergency which requires the evacuation of the housing facility:
a. If you see a fire, leave the area immediately. Call the fire department at 911.
b. Call Housing Director 590-3345 or RA office 879-0708.
c. When the alarm is activated, call 911. All residents and visitors must exit the building.
d. Do not use the elevator.
e. If possible, the RA on duty or staff present at the time of evacuation must retrieve the housing Fire Alarm Log and visitor sign in list when exiting the building. The log will have the current resident housing room assignment list.
f. Using the current housing list, RA or staff will identify students who evacuated the building by checking off names.
g. Give list to the fire department when they arrive.
h. If there is immediate danger, the fire department will check room(s) for unaccounted persons.
IV. FIRE SAFETY INFORMATION FOR HOUSING STAFF AND RESIDENTIAL ASSISTANTS: a. Inform the front desk of the situation.
b. Ask other staff to seek out additional residential life staff to provide assistance.
c. Inform the Housing Director.
d. Report to the alarm site. Remain outside the alarm area.
e. Introduce yourself to emergency personnel of anyone that may not be able to physically respond to the fire alarm or use sound judgment to evacuate the area.
f. When additional residential life staff members arrive, ask them to assist in crowd control and make sure no one is re-entering the alarm area until emergency personnel have given the "all clear."
g. Complete the Fire Log and an Incident Report.
In the event of an actual fire, immediately contact the Fire Department by calling 911.
Contact Housing Director, 590-3345 and confirm he is aware of the situation.
If not at risk, remain at the front desk to receive calls and help coordinate communication.
Evacuate if directed to do so by emergency personnel.
a. Always assume there is a fire. Don't ignore it.
b. If time permits, take a jacket and shoes, and a towel to cover your face.
c. Stay low and crawl to your door. Smoke fills a room from the ceiling down.
d. Test the door with the back of your hand.
e. If the door is hot, keep the door closed and stay in the room.
f. If the door is cool, open it slowly. Walk quickly and calmly to the ground level, closing all doors behind you.
g. Do not use an elevator. An elevator may open at a floor on fire or may stop working, trapping you inside.
h. If there is smoke in the hallway, crawl to the stairs. Count the doors as you go so you do not get lost. If the smoke and hear are too great, try an alternate escape route If both escape routes are blocked, return to your room.
If you are trapped inside your room:
a. Close the door between you and the fire.
b. Stop up cracks and vents to keep smoke and toxic gases out.
c. Put a wet clothe over your nose and wait at a window.
d. Open the window a few inches for fresh air. Do not break the glass.
e. Hang a sheet or some other article out your window to sign the fire department.
f. Do not panic. Do not jump. Wait for help.
Once you have evacuated the area:
Notify civil authorities of anyone that may not be able to physically respond to the fire alarm or use sound judgment to evacuate the area (e.g. persons using wheelchairs or someone under the influence of alcohol or drugs).
If your clothes catch fire: Stop, do not run.
Drop to the ground or floor immediately and cover your face with your hands.
Roll over back and forth to smother the flames.
VI. FIRE SAFETY EDUCATION AND TRAINING FOR STUDENTS, STAFF AND FACULTY: During housing orientation, residents are provided with handouts and checklists regarding fire safety. Floor meetings are conducted at the beginning of each academic year to provide verbal instructions on overall safety procedures in the residence hall, including fire safety.
A. Fire Drills:
Fire drills are used to familiarize occupants with the building's alarm system, emergency exits that may not normally be used, and the procedures for calling the fire department. All residents must evacuate when the fire alarm is activated. Residential Life conducts fire drills twice a year and student cooperation is essential during fire drills.
B. Fire Safety Tips:
Evacuate promptly. Make a fire escape plan and practice it. Locate two fire exits close to your room and count the number of doors between your room and each room. Make a plan to assist others who are unable to evacuate on their own. Even if it is a temporary disability, plan ahead for fire emergencies.
All students are expected to observe the following fire safety regulations. Violations of these regulations could result in a fine determined by the severity of the offense.
a. Do not use the stove as a heat source.
b. All portions of the resident housing facility will be designated as smoke-free. Smoking in not allowed in the facility.

Stan Smith: Make your voice heard, even if it's a whining, sanctimonious liberal voice trying to get illegal immigrants free hair gel and heroin.
Brian Griffin: Or if you're a trigger-happy, conservative, weasel-faced hate spigot.
(Stan shoots Brian in the leg)In the strawman fallacy, a debater constructs a weakened or just plain unrecognizable form of an opponent's argument, and in defeating it acts like he has defeated the real argument. This is likened to fashioning a dummy out of straw that acts as a stand-in and a scapegoat for the real issue, hence the term "straw man" fallacy. In other words, the go-to tool for someone, possibly driven by a dangerous ego, to create a fantasy outcome where they win. A straw character is a caricature of a person, a character the author has set up in order to ridicule a particular viewpoint. A strawman can have pretty much any viewpoint. Why bother addressing the real issues of, for example, gun control, when you can instead portray all firearms advocates as bearded, racist, hillbilly lunatics ranting about black helicopters and wanting to own their own nuclear warheads? And so it goes with other examples; capitalists literally worship the bottom line and would sell their own kids if they could; liberals are all secret Communists aiming to destroy morality and personal choice (think about that one for a minute); scientists shake their fist at God while plotting to surpass Him; the religious are wide-eyed, superstitious madmen; feminists want to kill all men; and so on. This is not to say that such extremists don't actually exist, but the straw character presents extreme or minority views as the typical beliefs of a group rather than those of a tiny subset of it. A sub-type of straw character is the sounding board, a character who makes points on their side purely so a character the author agrees with can reply with devastating comebacks that prove the first character's foolishness. The straw character is left stumped by the author's obvious wisdom, and will struggle to reply or explode angrily to show how unreasonable they (and anyone else holding such views) are. In some instances they'll go completely silent or avert their gaze, presumably rendered mute/ashamed by the author's "truth". Characters of this type are extremely one-dimensional. Every aspect of them is geared towards advancing the views of the author. The presence of such characters is often jarring and sometimes offensive to people who actually hold the beliefs that are being misrepresented; in addition, strawmen are very ineffective tools to convert or convince people of opposing beliefs and tend to encourage Confirmation Bias. Their ability to always be right within the politics of their creator frequently makes them come off as extremely arrogant, condescending and unlikable. This is especially annoying when a normal member of the cast suddenly breaks the flow of the story to get on a soap box and deliver An Aesop. Sub Tropes:

Global Macro: Focus Turns to Syria
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- As investors await the Federal Reserve's policy meeting in September, the Syrian conflict is filling the void in influencing trading.
Syrian rebels are trying to overthrow Syrian President Bashar al-Assad. Western powers have been hesitant to arm the rebel forces out of fear that al Qaeda powers may procure weapons that end up in the rebels' hands.
Now, however, Western powers have threatened to intervene because they believe Assad's government has used chemical warfare. Military action seems imminent
A Western attack would have global implications, especially considering Russia -- Assad's largest arms supplier -- opposes intervention.

Since the initial announcement of the Nintendo 3DS on March 23th, I've been excited about the idea of another 3D console by Nintendo, 15 years after the ill-fated Virtual Boy, which almost instantly manifested itself in plans to create a website about it.
The name "Planet 3DS" was quickly chosen and the domain planet3ds.net registered on the same day. A rather lenghty period of finding a concept for the site followed in which I found two equally enthusiastic co-editors, Herman and Max, but also scrapped just as many ideas as I had for the site. Noticing I was going in circles, I created another site in the mean time. Pokémon-Mini.net, build for my friends from Team Pokémé, is based on WordPress and phpbb and was a perfect test run for Planet 3DS, which will now go the same (or at least a very similar) route.
Since Herman will be attending E3 2010 and the unveiling of Nintendo 3DS from June 15th to 17th, we of course had something like a deadline for getting the site up and running, but many other commitments came in the way. The result of this is the quickly put together, temporary site we have now. Should be enough to get you all the news from E3 until I can find the time to start working on the final site design. I still don't have a definite concept for the site, but we'll see how it develops, so for now, Planet 3DS is hereby going live and open to the public.
Stay tuned for some great days next week when E3 2010 takes place. As mentioned above, Herman will be attending and providing us with the hottest info, photos and video footage every evening. Meanwhile, Max will be in the US as well, albeit not at E3, but in South Carolina, New York City and Washtington D.C., and talk to the press, while I will try to post while being at work. Heh.
Welcome to 64DD.net!
Your N64 and 64DD info and media source and community site.
With this website, we aim to build the biggest Nintendo 64 and Nintendo 64DD media and information database on the net as well as a strong community of N64 fans.
Enjoy your stay!

Safety Practices at the Big Game
CEDAR RAPIDS, IA (CBS2/FOX28) -- When Dubuque Fighting Saint Dylan Chanter hit his head on the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena ice this weekend, there was no ambulance on site to get him to a hospital. CBS 2 news found out that its not always standard to have an ambulance on site, even for a contact sport like hockey.
"It really depends on the resources, availability as well as the general 'ask," said the Manager of St. Luke's Sports Medicine Chris Pickering.
The "ask" is the list of staff and equipment that a team or its league requests be at an arena where it plays. It covers things like doctors, trainers and ambulances when requested.
"They look at different situations such as your distance from a hospital, how far you are and that sort of standpoint," said the Marketing Director at VenueWorks Sarah Madalinski.
VenueWorks staffs the Cedar Rapids Ice Arena, where the injury happened. She says an ambulance wasn't part of the planning.
"For this particular hockey league, having that on site is not a requirement but they did have a medical doctor on staff as well as police on staff who were first responders for this situation," said Madalinski.
Both the Cedar Rapids Titans and Kernals say they have ambulances at all their games, along with team trainers and doctors to treat anyone who is injured. But those are professional sports teams. The RoughRiders is a Junior League Hockey team with most of the roster around 18 years old. They say it has not been their policy to have an ambulance at their games, just the team doctor and trainers who responded when Chanter started going into convultions. But Pickering says not having an ambulance didn't affect the level of treatment he received.
"It would be the same because what would happen is the medical professional that's there would assess the situation and determine whether transport is needed," said Pickering.
The players on the RoughRiders are about the same age as many high school athletes around Cedar Rapids. Some of those high schools say it is their policy to have ambulances on site only for varsity and junior varsity football games. For all other sports, school trainers and volunteer doctors take care of injured athletes.
The league released a statement saying that they were thankful for the medical care that Chanter received. It continued to say, "the Cedar Rapids RoughRiders organization was in full compliance with USHL medical care regulations...to address situations such as this one."

Control of differentiation in a self-renewing mammalian tissue by the histone demethylase JMJD3
2008; 22 (14): 1865-1870
The recent discovery of H3K27me3 demethylases suggests that H3K27me3 may dynamically regulate gene expression, but this potential role in mammalian tissue homeostasis remains uncharacterized. In the epidermis, a tissue that balances stem cell self-renewal with differentiation, H3K27me3, occupies the promoters of many differentiation genes. During calcium-induced differentiation, H3K27me3 was erased at these promoters in concert with loss of PcG protein occupancy and increased binding by the H3K27me3 demethylase, JMJD3. Within epidermal tissue, JMJD3 depletion blocked differentiation, while active JMJD3 dominantly induced it. These results indicate that epigenetic derepression by JMJD3 controls mammalian epidermal differentiation.

Ok, this is a first for me and I wouldn't believe it but the proof is starting to add up. I have a spare garage that needs to be torn down and rebuilt so I keep nothing it. A stupid squirrel lives in there and drive my dogs nuts. I opened the door today and one of my dogs was in their barking at. I forgot about a pan of oil on the floor. Now I would have never thought a dog would take a drink but tonight when I was eating supper out on our deck he was sitting next to me and I noticed he was leaking from behind. This dog never has accidents and has only had diarrhea once in his life. I made him get of the deck and go sit in the yard till I finished up. At the time I thought he had diarrhea. I got the hose off and sprayed the deck clean. When I was spraying it I notice it seemed really oily and thought maybe he had an anal gland problem. I decide to wipe some up on a paper towel and see what color it is to see if it has any blood in it. I found it odd that was almost scentless, which would be weird for anal glands so I gave up on that theory. Like any good pet owner would do, I sniffed the paper towel and it smelled like motor oil. I am still not believing he could be that dumb that he drank oil so I go in the garage and sure enough their are paw prints in the oil on the floor. Then to confirm my suspicions the deck is stained with motor oil where he had been sitting. I consulted a vet and he will be okay. I is not acting sick at all. The leaking has slowed down or stopped. I don't think he drank a lot, he may have actually just cleaned his paws off because he grooms himself a lot and ingested it then. Life is never dull with dogs.
awww, I'm glad he will be ok.
you know, regular joint supplements work better !
that reminds me of when we had our black lab, Boo.
We had deep fried a turkey and had the fryer full of oil, we put it out of the way to cool off , and covered it. Well Boo found it, and got the cover off, and drank nearly 3/4 of the fryer kettle of oil.
We had no idea he did this, until he got frantic to be let outside after a couple hours, dancing at the door. We let him out and he RAN to the grass and barely made it before he exploded, complete with extremely loud sound effects with each blast. We had to leave him outside because he was going every 15 minutes, complete with the Rear End Symphony each time.
He was none the worse for wear and headed right back to where the kettle was, after he was all done.
Recognize the beauty in things, in creation, even when thats difficult to do.
Be loving, show compassion. Create while we're here.
Enjoy this life, be in this life but not be of it.
One of our Labs did the fryer pan thing but ended up with a bad case of pancreatitis. Glad everything seems to be coming out ok, Jason, but do keep an eye on him! Silly dog!
One of my goats drank a quart of motor oil. She passed motor oil and residue for about two weeks. Never went off feed or milk production. Freaked me out, she never missed a beat. Her oily butt eventually dried off and she started dry goat berries again.

"Remember, no man is a failure, who has friends" -Clarence
It looks like he has ran out of oil and things are running normal again....lol
Never in my life thought my dog would eat a whole HUGE container of Vaseline but sure enough she did and the ensuing diarrhea was not fun at all. It was a nightmare to clean up too! They are worse than kids sometimes for what they put in their mouths.
YUCKY!!! Should we start calling him Slick now?
Well, good grief, Jason, your topic title had me worried! Good to know he is ok! I thought something like motor oil might kill a dog....

Bowling: Boone Grove edges Lake Central for girls state title
By Steve T. Gorches 648-3141 or firstname.lastname@example.com February 16, 2013 9:04PM
Boone Grove coaches Mike Kraushaar and Matt Steinhilber raise their hands in celebration after their team won the Indiana High School Bowling girls state title on Saturday at Arrowhead Bowl in Lafayette. | Steve T. Gorches~Post-Tribune
Updated: March 18, 2013 7:15AM
LAFAYETTE — The "little school that could" turned into a big bunch of excited state champs on Saturday at Arrowhead Bowl in Lafayette.
No more debating who the best girls bowling team is in Northwest Indiana in a season that saw big schools Portage, Lake Central and Highland trade tournament wins with small Boone Grove in the mix.
On Saturday with the bright lights of a taped TV final and pressure of being the best, Boone Grove came through when it counted against a school six times its size in the final.
Boone Grove finished off a memorable season by edging Lake Central 315-304 in the championship match for the school's first athletic state title.
"I don't know what to say — I'm still in shock," Boone coach Mike Kraushaar said, before composing himself a couple seconds later. "The girls stepped up big time. What a way for five seniors to go out."
One of those seniors was anchor Paige Kraushaar, who also finished sixth in singles earlier in the day.
"It's frickin' awesome," she said. "This so much better than (possibly winning) individually … so much better."
Like every other championship in an entertaining state finals, the girls title came down to the last frame and one ball from an understandably nervous teenager — who wouldn't be on the big stage. LC anchor Kelly Belzeski left a washout (1-2-4-10) while Boone's anchor, Paige Kraushaar, left a 2-10 split. Belzeski needed to pick it up, but she left two pins, and Boone survived like they did most of the did.
"We bowled terrible in regular Bakers, but they weathered the storm and came through," Mike Kraushaar said.
To say Boone and LC were familiar with each other is a huge understatement. It was the fourth time the teams faced this season in a tourney. The Indians beat the Wolves in the Baker Tournament; Boone beat LC in the Boone Grove Invite; LC won in the semifinals of the Region Rumble. But none was bigger than Saturday's grind-out victory by the little school that could.
"I knew we were going to make it to state, but it's a reality check to finally win it," Boone senior Angelique McKeny said.
"This is scary good — it's amazing," said fellow senior Haley Steinhilber. "I kept saying (the TV cameras) weren't there and just focus on bowling."
The Indians earned the top seed after qualifying, leading to coach Stephanie Cooley saying, "the LC of old has made an appearance." But instead of bringing home the program's fourth state title, it was the second time finishing runner-up (2006).
"I wasn't sure what to expect today," Cooley said. "The TV pair was a little tighter and there were a little nerves, a little more pressure. But I'm still proud of them; it was an awesome finish."

These ribs have a wonderful complex, sticky sauce that makes them the kind of food you shouldn't eat on a first date, unless you want to see what the other person is really made of. Cooking them in an oven allows you to avoid the flare-ups that are so difficult to avoid when a drippy sauce comes in contact with live fire. The apricot preserves bring on the tangy sweetness, the spices provide savory notes, and the ketchup, onions, and garlic hit all of the right notes of classic bbq sauce. Extra sauce can also be used on chicken or pork chops.
Mashed potatoes let the extra sauce that you pass at the table have something nice to meet up with on the plate. You can make the sauce up to a week ahead of time, and store it in a jar or container in the fridge.

|2 racks St. Louis style ribs (about 5 pounds)
|2 tablespoons Dijon mustard or 1 tablespoon dry mustard
|kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
|1/4 cup molasses
|2 tablespoons olive oil
|2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
|1 large onion, minced
|1 teaspoon dried thyme
|2 garlic cloves, finely minced
|1 teaspoon ground cumin
|2 cups ketchup
|1 teaspoon ground paprika
|1 cup apricot preserves
Preheat the oven to 250°F. Rub the lightly ribs with 1 tablespoon olive oil and sprinkle them with salt and pepper. Place them meaty side up in a rimmed baking sheet and bake for 1 ½ hours, until almost cooked through.
Meanwhile, make the sauce. In a saucepan heat the remaining tablespoon of oil over medium heat, then sauté the onion and garlic for 5 minutes, until softened but not browned. Add the ketchup, apricot preserves, mustard, molasses, vinegar, thyme, cumin, paprika, salt and pepper and bring to a simmer. Lower the hat and simmer gently for 20 minutes. Pour half (about 1 ½ cups) of the sauce in a separate bowl for serving, and keep the rest in the pot for basting.
When the ribs are almost cooked through, turn the heat up to 375°F. Flip them meaty side down, baste the ribs generously with the sauce in the pot, and bake for 15 minutes, then flip the ribs, baste generously again, and bake until nicely caramelized, about 20 more minutes. If they aren't as browned as you would like you can turn the oven to broil and give them a few minutes under the broiler, but keep a close eye on them so they don't burn.
Remove from the oven and let them sit for 5 minutes before cutting them and serving with the additional sauce passed on the side.

"My new seat has improved my game enormously from how I was playing in my old chair. The stability it allows me to have now gives me the ability to turn quickly both going right and left which I was unable to do before. I believe it is allowing me to play my best ever basketball which is not only good for me but for the whole team as we head to London."
Ade Orogbemi
Backed by over £4 million from UK Sport for the current cycle, GB Wheelchair Basketball has achieved some very promising results ahead of this year's Paralympic Games. The men's team, Paralympic bronze medallists from Beijing, won the European Championships in 2011 for the first time since 1995, while the women secured bronze.
The players will be no strangers to the pressure and excitement of competing in front of a home crowd, following the UK Sport funded World Wheelchair Basketball Championships which took place in Birmingham in 2010.
World Class Performance Programme funding has allowed the teams to travel the world to compete in world class competitions and participate in international training camps, while also ensuring key players like Jon Pollock and Terry Bywater have received the best medical treatment in their recovery from long term injuries to make the team for 2012.
Men's Assistant Coach Sinclair Thomas and Women's Head Coach Garry Peel completed the UK Sport Paralympic Coach Development initiative in 2011. Launched in April of that year, the Paralympic-specific programme came about following a period of consultation with a number of Paralympic sports who had requested assistance in the area of development of the coaching workforce through Mission 2012.
Garry said: "It's a great opportunity for Paralympic coaches to meet and discuss their experiences and also to help each other in producing the best athletes in the world in preparation for London."
The teams have also benefitted from the cutting-edge expertise of UK Sport's Research and Innovation team in this cycle, in a project the sport's international federation has described as "world leading".
Working with various partners, including Loughborough University, BMW, Contour, RGK and BAE Systems, UK Sport has developed bespoke wheelchair seats for the men's and women's team mid-point players which should increase their agility, control and speed on the court, as well as prevent injury. It is hoped this innovative work could be extended to the rest of the players in the team in the Rio cycle

Medical Definition of ARCHITECTURE
architecturenoun (Concise Encyclopedia)
Art and technique of designing and building, as distinguished from the skills associated with construction. The practice of architecture emphasizes spatial relationships, orientation, the support of activities to be carried out within a designed environment, and the arrangement and visual rhythm of structural elements, as opposed to the design of structural systems themselves (see civil engineering). Appropriateness, uniqueness, a sensitive and innovative response to functional requirements, and a sense of place within its surrounding physical and social context distinguish a built environment as representative of a culture's architecture. See also building construction.

How To Get A Great Job in 90 Days or Less
by Joe Carroll
Kindle Edition: 189 pages
List Price:
Editorial Reviews
Product Description
Executive headhunter and career coach Joe Carroll exposes how you can overcome the unpredictable job market in "How to Get a Job in 90 Days or Less."
The nation's unemployment rate has hovered at nearly 10 percent since mid-2009, which means a large chunk of the workforce has faced the harsh reality of unemployment claims and uncertain job futures. Carroll's book offers concrete strategies for finding work within 90 short days. It equips readers with the knowledge to not only land employment, but to successfully find enjoyment in a new career.
Some of the major highlights in Carroll's guide to landing a great job include the 10 job-related facts most college courses leave out, and how getting fired can be a blessing in disguise.
"The high unemployment we face in America is a tragedy," Carroll said. "Most Americans were never taught the art of conducting an intelligent job search. As a result, life without a paycheck can go on for months and years, especially in a down economy. The impact on individuals and families is devastating."
Like so many others, Carroll personally experienced the pain and frustration associated with unemployment and working jobs that he hated. With 15 million people out of work, most don't know how to conduct an effective job search, and market themselves to potential hiring managers. The book explains how to blend one's purpose, talents and passions to get the job that will maximize their performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
Gold is a soft metal. It is mixed with other metals to make it stronger. Depending on the amount of pure Gold; Gold can be divided into 9kt, 18kt or 24kt. 24kt Gold is most expensive as it has the most amount of pure gold; however, this also makes it a weaker option. Speak with the Anania Jewellers team and they will be able to help you determine the best option for your individual needs.
Today Wedding Rings and Bands are as diverse as the couples who wear them. While many couples choose to embellish their Wedding Rings with Diamonds others prefer a traditional plain band. Choose a Wedding Ring that best symbolises your relationship and one that matches your style and taste - that way it will never date.Men's Wedding Rings – Should he wear one?
The assumption that women care more about Wedding Rings then men is no longer accurate. Today Grooms are also concerned about having a beautiful Wedding Ring. At Anania Jewellers we create Wedding Rings especially for men. Our Men's Wedding Bands are modern and sophisticated. Whether you are looking for a simple traditional style or something modern and embellished; we can work with you to find the perfect Men's Wedding Ring to suit your style and budget.Should our Wedding Rings have an inscription?
Having a special message engraved into your Wedding Ring is an extra special touch which can further enhance the beauty of your rings. By selecting words or a phrase which best describes your relationship, you will ensure your precious piece will never date. The inner surface of your Wedding Ring can act as a canvas for;• Your names and wedding date
• A phrase from a special poem or song
• A religious writing
• A phrase from your wedding vows How much should I spend on a Wedding Ring?
This is an important element to consider before you begin browsing. Weddings can be expensive and deciding on a budget is imperative. It is important to remember that your Wedding Ring is a keepsake you will keep with you forever while the Wedding reception and honeymoon will soon become a memory.What metal should my Wedding Ring be made of?
This is generally the first question that the couple will need to answer when choosing their Wedding Ring. There are different types of precious metals available; however, generally the most popular ones are:• Yellow, White or Rose Gold • Platinum • Titanium
How Do I find the perfect Wedding Ring?
We often tell people to consider their other jewellery items to see which precious metal will match best. If you wear mainly Yellow Gold jewellery choosing a Yellow Gold Wedding Ring is generally the best option. We can also create two tone Wedding Rings using Yellow and White or Rose Gold. Platinum is the most expensive of the precious metals.
Finding the perfect Wedding Rings for you and your partner can be challenging. It is important to choose a design and style that suits you and will not go out of fashion. Your Wedding Rings should remind you of one another and the bond you share. Often both partners are involved in choosing the ring. This is important so you are both happy with your Wedding Rings.Why is A Wedding Ring So Important?
A Wedding Ring is the physical representation of a couple's love and commitment to one another.
It is worn every day of the duration of the marriage as a continual reminder of the Bride and Groom's deep connection. It is therefore important to consider all aspects of your Wedding Rings before making the final purchase.
