A great evening with Michael Carberry
The first event in the junior cricket section's fundraising campaign took place at the club on Friday 28 November, when Hampshire, England and Perth Scorchers' Michael Carberry visited.
After an hour of mingling, photos and autograph signing he sat down to chat about his career. We were all impressed by his honesty as he spoke about how he arrived at Hampshire (via Surrey and Kent), his experiences last winter in Australia (facing Mitchell Johnson) and coming back from a serious, life-threatening illness to resume his professional career.
After offering a few tips on the importance of watching the ball and bowling at the stumps he answered a variety of well thought out questions from our junior players and parents, before he set off for a through-the-night stint at Sky Sports covering England's ODI series in Sri Lanka.
It was a memorable evening for all those who attended and a real pleasure to see a top quality player giving his insight into life as a professional sportsman.
Big Bash Breakfast
The next event will be the Big Bash Breakfast, when we will watch Michael's Perth Scorchers in their third BBL fixture at the Sydney hers. Details will be emailed shortly (there will be the opportunity to win Carbs' signed Scorchers shirt). If you are around on 29 December, get down to the club for breakfast (served 8:00am until 10:00am). The match starts at 8:00am – live on Sky Sports HD1.
Nick Cooper – 1955-2014
I am sure that members of Dulwich Cricket Club will be saddened to hear that Nick Cooper passed away on Saturday 29th November. Nick was a great stalwart of the Old Whitgiftians but also a frequent visitor and player at Dulwich. Nick joined a number of Dulwich tours to Wales where he was a figure much larger than life both on and off the field. Nick frequently played against Dulwich for the Old Whits but also for the Surrey Paralytics. Anyone who met Nick could not fail to be charmed by his personality and above all his wit. Nick was welcomed in many clubs across Surrey and it was always great to see Nick play or attending the Dulwich Cricket Club dinner and dance. Nick fought back from an appalling accident at work. Nick fell from a tree and after radical neurosurgery recovered remarkably to be seen frequently at Surrey Championship cricket or at Lord's. The thoughts of Dulwich players are with his family at this time.
An affectionate tribute and collection of comments and memories of Nick can be found here on the Old Whitgiftians website.

Peter Rice & the team at BCS
The season rounded up
Dulwich made it three 4th XI Premier Division titles in four years at the end of a successful 2014 season. A strong bowling attack performed throughout the season. Skipper Graeme Hough (24 wickets at 10.79), Player of the Year Prasanna Callaghan (22 at 19.45), David Woods (22 at 14.59) and Giles Constantine (18 at 17.94) all made excellent contributions and there were runs for Julian Dean (283 at 25.72), Shahab Khan (218 at 24.22), Obafemi Shokoya (210 at 26.25) and Hough (205 at 34.16). The team won 12 of their 15 completed matches and finished 24 points ahead of second place Wimbledon. Congratulations to everyone involved across the season!
Elsewhere, a fine run of form saw the 1st XI finish 5th in Division 2 having overcome some early season wobbles to string together an excellent run of wins after June. Overseas star Michael Currey led the way with the bat, scoring 687 runs at 68.70 – including a superb 104 against Worcester Park in July and 98* as Dulwich's winning run really got going against Horsley & Send. With the ball, 1st XI Player of the Season Naeem Iqbal (25 wickets at 20.12) and Alex Gledhill (21 at 20.09) both displayed quality and commitment over the course of the season. James Balmforth was ever reliable behind the sticks, recording 18 victims.
2014 was a struggle for the 2nd XI with their fall to Divison 2 being confirmed after losing a relegation shoot-out with Beddington on the final day of the season. Their plight would have been far greater, however, without the form and reliability of 2nd XI Player of the Year Chris Ford. Playing his first full season of 2nd XI cricket, Ford finished fourth in the league charts with 518 at 47.09 – including a magnificent 113 against Cheam in an opening stand of 221 with Zakir Rostami. Rostami also contributed with 334 runs at 27.83, 17 wickets at 23.94 and some captaincy responsibility in Gareth Cornick's absence – as did Dan Peters, who also took 22 victims with the gloves. They will look to bounce back quickly to Division 1 again next season.
The 3rd XI experienced a mixed season, suffering most from the usual flux in Dulwich cricketers' availability and finishing 7th in the Premier Division. There were several big victories recorded across the campaign, and almost as many heavy defeats as 54 players were utilised in a variety of different roles. Euan Johnson showed some fantastic early season form, hitting 187 runs at 62.33 in the first four fixtures before deservedly making his way up the Dulwich teams to the 1st XI, but no one consistently dominated with the bat over the 18 league matches. 3rd XI Player of the Year and vice-captain Jeremy Jones took 19 wickets at 19.47 and Jordan Hancock proved himself a very useful cricketer with 18 wickets at 17.61 and some excellent fielding displays.
Tim Brown's 5th XI diced with relegation all season, but saved themselves at the last with victory on the final day of the season. Brown was ever-dependable, taking it upon himself to open the batting in the latter half of the season and contributing 155 runs and 18 wickets. He was ably supported by opening bowlers Simon Peters (19 wickets at 16.31 and Player of the Year) and Alf Grimsey (18 wickets at 21.88) – while young off-spiner Sudhaker Rethinasamy continued his excellent development with 15 wickets at 20.13.
The 6th XI ended up 7th in the South Thames 2C league – affording opportunities to a host of players, both young and old, to enjoy competitive Saturday cricket. Skipper Matt Craig topped the batting (164 runs at 27.33) and bowling (18 wickets at 13.83) charts, while Colin Tucker picked up the 6th XI Player of the Year award.
On Sundays, the Academy XI continued to put in some excellent Surrey Trust league performances and enable the development of many of Dulwich's promising young players, qualifying from their group before losing their play-off match against a strong Guildford side. Euan Johnson proved himself an exciting and innovative captain, and batted well making 171 runs in their six games at 34.20, while over-age player Zakir Rostami hit 184 at 36.80. Young spin trio Dan Anthony, Patrick George and Ben Swanson all performed with skill and maturity across the campaign – George was selected as Academy Player of the Year.
The Development XI, lead by John Lawrence, played a range of friendly fixtures across 2014, supporting the development of around 20 young players, picking up some exciting victories along the way and ensuring everyone had the chance to improve their skills and take part. Player of the Year was Ryan Anthony.
The Dulwich Ladies team season highlights included a tight defeat of East Herts (by 3 runs) and an excellent victory over Tunbridge Wells by five wickets in a Super 8s fixture. Kira Chatli shone with the bat, making 258 runs at 36.85, including two half-centuries. Theo Beck hit 122 at 30.50 and Lyndsay Morton picked up 10 wickets at 19.60 with her bowling.

DANIEL SMITH Poppyseed Oil
Often used as the vehicle for better-quality whites and other light colors, poppyseed oil is nearly colorless and has less tendency to yellow with age than linseed oil. While it can be used to modify paints made with linseed oil, poppyseed oil has two disadvantages. It dries very slowly and creates a film more prone to cracking.

IDA moves forward with irrigation study
Date: February 24, 2010
by: Pam Eubanks | News Editor
LAKEWOOD RANCH — Lakewood Ranch Inter-District Authority officials last week learned they may be paying more than their share for water irrigation because of potential discrepancies in how Braden River Utilities calculates water usage.
During the board's agenda review meeting Feb. 16, consultant Azad Shah of CSA Group said there may be potential or real discrepancies under the current billing structure, including potential double accounting for water at one lake, non-working meters at least two non-IDA facilities and the location of meters at golf course pump stations within the district. There also are several locations at which water may be leaving or entering the IDA's boundaries without being accounted for.
Currently, BRU bills the IDA based on the amount of water produced minus water billed to non-IDA entities.
At their Feb. 18 public hearing, IDA officials agreed to move forward with phase three of an irrigation study, which will allow staff to create a scope and budget of work, as well as to determine options and timing for receiving reclaimed water from the county for irrigation.
"Nothing was really surprising," Ryan Heise, director of Town Hall Operations, said of Shah's findings. "It revealed the fact we have some issues we have to work together on and quickly."
Shah and IDA Chairman Tom Green were quick to point out Schroeder-Manatee Ranch, the entity that owns BRU, should not be blamed, and the company is working with the IDA to make sure issues are resolved. SMR President Rex Jensen has been given a copy of Shah's report and asked for comments.
"Rex Jensen has told us very forcibly he wants this problem to go away," IDA Chairman Tom Green said.
Concerns over water pressure in Lakewood Ranch have escalated over the years. Several studies already have been conducted, resulting in changes to residents' water schedules. But continued frustrations over the problem prompted each Lakewood Ranch Community Development District to chip in for an independent study.
As reported last week, water provided to the IDA comes from 11 sources scattered throughout the district's territory, including nine wells and two lakes. Nearly 50% of the water is produced at three sources, and there appears to be constrictions in the system in certain areas, Shah said.
Based on water usage for a year ending September 2009, the IDA used an average of 115 million gallons of water each month, Shah said. Average residential usage was 84 million gallons and a weekly residential usage average of 19 million gallons. Combining that information with other data, Shah computed the irrigation duration per home application was four hours, as opposed to the two- to three-hour schedule set by the BRU for most neighborhoods.
"That's why it's important to get a better handle of how much water (the BRU is) supplying to you," Shah said.
Shah also suggested the IDA work to create a written standard for minimum acceptable pressures, a minimum acceptable water quality, better metering and delivery points and to try to negotiate for a bulk water rate with BRU. Phase III of the irrigation study will be brought before the board at its March agenda review meeting.

March murder rate in Chicago down 69% over 2012, but mob attacks are focus
BY FRAN SPIELMAN City Hall email@example.com April 1, 2013 12:54PM
Article Extras
Updated: May 3, 2013 6:14AM
Basking in the glow of a 69 percent drop in Chicago's March murder rate, Mayor Rahm Emanuel and Police Supt. Garry McCarthy were confronted by a troubling reality: the return of downtown mob attacks that seem to be turning into a rite of spring.
An outbreak of wildings on North Michigan Avenue and a separate attack on a CTA Red Line train culminated in the arrest of 25 juveniles and three adults on a sunny and warm Saturday that drew the usual crowds to the Magnificent Mile.
Seventeen of the arrests were made around 6 p.m. near Chicago and Michigan after a mob of young people started fighting among themselves, bumping into bystanders and blocking sidewalks and traffic.
About the same time, another group of juveniles who had arranged to meet on Twitter attacked several women aboard a CTA Red Line train, possibly armed with knives, box-cutters and padlocks. One of the victims reported being beaten and having her hair pulled and her purse snatched, prompting police to make 11 arrests.
In an email to his constituents, downtown Ald. Brendan Reilly (42nd) described Saturday's incident as "very disturbing" and said it was "orchestrated" on Facebook and Twitter involving 400 young people. It required police to summon additional resources to augment an original group of 50 officers to diffuse the "volatile" situation, the alderman said.
Reilly said he planned to meet with police officials this week to press for "additional, high-visibility resources" for downtown commercial corridors during warm weather months, including foot and bike patrols and a beefed-up CTA detail.
"I am most concerned about Saturday's incident — not only because I live just a few blocks away but because worry for the Central Business District has become a perennial concern for downtown residents and businesses. It's time Chicago commits to a permanent solution," Reilly wrote.
On Monday, the downtown attacks marred a news conference called to tout the lowest number of March murders in Chicago since 1959.
McCarthy bristled when asked what he planned to do about this "phenomenon of organized, intentional" attacks by young people.
"They're not organized. If they were organized, it would be an entirely different issue," McCarthy said.
"Nice weather. A lot of people go downtown. And those kids have every right to go downtown. The behavior that they engage in — if it's illegal, they will be arrested quickly and prosecuted. And that's how we're gonna handle it. ... The strategy downtown is high-profile, visibility and enforcement where appropriate."
He added, "We were on top of it. ... There were no assaults, robberies or property damage that was reported. These were two groups of people who were fighting. The officers were there. They dispersed it immediately. We took appropriate action and made arrests. There was a separate incident that we do not believe was related to any of what we just talked about. There was a robbery on the CTA. ... We locked up 11 people for that robbery."
Last year, downtown attacks of random victims — including two doctors at Northwestern Memorial Hospital — prompted Chicago's convention and tourism chief to say meeting planners were getting nervous about whether Chicago was a safe place to visit.
Emanuel was asked Monday whether he was concerned about the impact of the latest attacks. He noted that tourism, conventions and hotel occupancy are all up compared with a year ago.
"People will take note of the statistics. A 69 percent drop in homicides will also say something. And since I deal a lot with the tourism and convention business, a lot of people always mention to me about the presence on Michigan Avenue of the police force — the visible presence they have. Every night, there's additional officers in that area to give a level of security and safety," the mayor said, noting the "quick response" to both the Michigan Avenue and CTA incidents.
Two years ago, Chicago Police officers, some of them undercover, were stationed at downtown CTA stations and other "choke points" to stop large groups of unruly young people intent on causing trouble.
The Easter weekend incidents give new impetus to a plan by Reilly to have moonlighting, uniformed police officers paid for by local merchants.
Reilly wants to let local chambers of commerce, business improvement districts and "special service area" taxing districts hire off-duty Chicago Police officers to supplement regular police patrols.
Currently, Chicago Police officers are permitted to wear their uniforms only when they are working for the city or moonlighting for the CTA or Navy Pier.
Reilly's ordinance would allow off-duty officers to wear their uniforms while being paid $30 an hour by local businesses to work a minimum of six-hour shifts.
The arrangement would be open to commercial strips across the city. But it's clearly timed to prevent a spring and summer rerun of the ugly mob attacks.

5th day post op. Is it normal for your nasal bones to move?
Last night I was looking in my cosmetic little powder mirror and I accidently dropped it but my reflexes caught it on my chest. When that happened, I think I heard and felt a bone move in my bridge. It did not hurt and I called my Dr.'s office and spoke to a nurse. She told me since I didn't have any swelling, bruising, or bleeding from it then I should be ok but to mention it to the doctor on fri when I get the cast off. The nurse thought that it could be bones readjusting because the swelling is going down. I don't know if I am imagining it now but my bridge feels stiff. I am just very worried that I screwed it up. I have been so careful and I just don't understand how a little movement like that could screw it all up. It's not like I bumped it real hard or bent over. If anyone has any input I would appreciate it. Also, will the Dr. be able to tell if the bones did shift? Thanks
Your nose can shift post rhinoplasty in the first few weeks. You end up (usually) having a better looking nose than pre-op, but not a perfect nose.
Is it natural? Yes. Is it desirable? No. You will NOT have the results that the doc originally desired. Time will tell.
I would see the plastic surgeon immediately, if you haven't already. I bumped my nose months after my revision rhinoplasty, and I still think it may have contributed to my deformed strut graft :(
Um not normal. I don't think my bones ever moved after surgery.
you always have helpful insight :)

Last time we spoke on baptism, today on confirmation. I know we skipped a couple of sacraments but I hope to get back to them later.
Today I attended Mass at the Cathedral where 57 young people took the leap of faith and asked to receive the gifts of the Holy Spirit. What a grace-filled day. It seems such a big deal is made about confirmation nowadays and rightfully so. All the candidates had to write Bishop Quinn a letter sharing with him why they wanted to receive this sacrament. They were asked to do some community service, attended a retreat, etc.
I was ever so proud that my great-grandson Ian was among those receiving confirmation. My dear son Gene was his sponsor. Thank you Holy Spirit.
Lets all pray that these young people will always walk the path that will lead them to their heavenly home. The path is dark these days and many evil predators lay waiting for these young souls. They need us mature adults to shine our light (our example and prayer) for them to find their way. Parents and sponsors dont forget your obligation to these young people. We as grandparents also have that responsibility. Perhaps we have a bit more time to focus on life and recognize the dangers, then prayerfully be reminded of the gifts the Holy Spirit has bestowed upon these young people. We hope and pray they will continually be unwrapping and using these gifts. Surely that will lead them to the ultimate gift of heaven, God has graciously prepared for those who have used these gifts and their talents well. God has given us all some talents, in fact a variety of them. Its best everyone doesnt feel called to be a truck or UPS driver, railroad workers or secretary, etc.
It seems my vocation for a long time was just motherhood (what a special gift) and still is. But our role changes as we get older, to just love and pray (and a lot of it). Let go and let God. Still every day I ask myself how can I show love for my children, love and kindness are contagious, you know, and the effects can ripple to the far corners of the world, perhaps ending wars and closing prison doors.
Today we also celebrated Ascension Day. After the resurrection Jesus spent 40 days tying up loose ends (I think Id need 40 years). The Apostles looked heavenward nervously wondering how theyd ever get along without their master. He had already instituted the Holy Eucharist (His body and blood) to leave us and promised to send the Paraclete (Holy Spirit), plus Jesus will come again. For now I must leave to take my place at the right hand of my Father, so go on get busy, do your work, focus ahead. Im going to prepare a place for you so that where I am you may be also.
Lets all keep our focus (ponder) on Rom 5:5
Gods love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit.
Thus ended a beautiful day in the presence of our dear Bishop Quinn, priests, deacons and seminarians. We all must have felt that This is the day the Lord has made, let us rejoice and be glad.
P.S. June 4, is my husband Jims birthday and our 60th wedding anniversary which we will be celebrating June 10, starting with 10:30 a.m. Mass at St. Marys Church, 1303 West Broadway, Winona.

There is an image of the ostrich born out of the cartoons we watched as kids. It's the idea that it would bury it's head in the sand at the first sign of any threat under the notion that if it cannot see the threat then there is no problem.
But growing up I found out that the ostrich has a less stupid survival mechanism. It is not only fast as a horse but also can kick you to death. Chances are it's not likely to hide in the sand. Not when it can outrun most things and stamp most things that can catch it.
But the imagery stuck.
Hiding your head in the sand to avoid all the ills of the world doesn't work. And this is seen in two schools in the UK that are both in trouble for thinking that simply because they couldn't see "us" that we weren't paying attention to them.
The Madinah school in Derby is to be closed after a review by OFSTED (the UK's Education Watchdog). The exact reasons are unknown but it has to be pretty major to warrant such a closure. But one of the main reasons for the review? The Madinah School was asking female staff to wear the Niqab and enforcing a "Muslim" Dress code using taxpayer money which is "unacceptable". In addition? There were stories about kids being forced to wear the Niqab and segregation by gender within classes.
This is despite the Madinah school taking 50% of it's students from Non-Muslim backgrounds. There may have been intereference with basic education criteria and other offences but for now this is what we exactly know.
And another school is facing the threat of closure.
Yesodey Hatorah Jewish Voluntary Aided girls' secondary school is being investigated formally after students asked it to follow up unconfirmed reports that teachers had redacted questions in this year's GSCE science exam.
The precise questions that were blacked out has not been revealed by OCR, but it is believed to be questions on evolution that would sit uneasily with Orthodox Jewish Creationists.
The investigation confirmed pupils were left disadvantaged by being unable to access 3 marks out of 75 for a unit in a higher GCSE science exam, and 1 mark out of 75 for a unit on a lower paper.
Yesodey Hatorah is a Charedi school. And has "problems". It used to be a private sector school until the new faith initiative rules came into force and accessed public sector funding (Think of it as the voucher scheme) but a lot of ideas coming out of this school seem "harmful".
In addition to the creationism (on my quid? Fuck No!) being flogged here there is a distinct misogynistic vibe. Girls attending Yesodey Hatorah are told to not go to university and gain further qualifications. According to Rabbi Pinter: "Our experience, is that the better educated girls turn out to be the most successful mothers. For us, that's the most important role a woman plays." Girls in this school are being crippled by an ethos that effectively is designed to make them think there is nothing outside of homemaking and motherhood.
Which begs the question as to why we are supporting these schools at all? Why are we using tax payer money to support schools that are not places of learning but religious indoctrination?
These schools effectively create enclaves of religious and ethnic lines and provide a breeding ground for extreme viewpoints. How many Christian, Muslim and Jewish faith schools are flogging creationism? How many are doing what the Madinah school did? How many are effectively crippling children's futures by restricting them to a narrow stereotypical aspect of life?
We are putting religious indoctrination before education and at the expense of public funds.
The idea that religious belief is more important than science is anathema to a nation that puts Darwin on it's currency. The usage of dogma over science effectively creates a system where religious schools can make up stuff rather than teach to a basic standard.
And the community has closed up over the school. The wall of silence effectively keeping officials from finding out about this since this happened months ago.
This is not upsetting religious people's sensitivities. No matter what the Charedi think, Evolution is scientific fact and if they don't wish to educate young girls in science then they shouldn't have a school set out specifically for them. Likewise, education is available to all equally and the Niqab cannot be forced onto people. It is not an appropriate school uniform any more than forcing Muslim children to wear a crucifix or the holy ash of Hindus. None of these are necessary and encouraging these schools effectively cripples the future generations by teaching them in exclusive groups that doesn't learn to deal with a varied society.
Children's education in the UK is being compromised by the influx of religion and we must draw the line in the sand today and now. Stop the Faith Schools. It is a failed experiment. Let education be education. Teach reality not fantasy, we are already seeing massive problems in education without adding fantasy to the mix.
At no point has this ever worked beneficially. The USA is filled with stories of religious schools making frankly terrible educative decisions. Why on earth must we make the same mistake before we realise how stupid it is? Let us not cut the costs of education.
Education and the future is the last place we should be making concessions. And it's the last place we should be encouraging fantasies to be taught as reality.
End the faith school, nothing good has come out of them. They teach our children to ignore reality. To bury their head in the sand and then expect everything to work when they grow up. They are in effect killing the possible futures of many of these children by making it harder to achieve certain goals.

One hundred forty one youth members of the Young Marines from nine states traveled to Hawaii to participate in the 73rd anniversary Pearl Harbor Day Commemoration. In addition, adult volunteers for the Young Marines will accompany the youth members.
"Our youth members met some of the survivors of that historic event of 73 years ago, and such meetings left invaluable positive impressions," said Michael Kessler, national executive director and CEO of the Young Marines. "You simply cannot put a price on getting the opportunity to talk to those from that generation who made headlines in the service of our country. The oldest veteran was 102 years young and filled with experiences that many of our schools feel are not that important. Our goal is to capture that information before it is lost forever."
The Young Marines performed a wreath laying ceremony at the National Memorial Cemetery of the Pacific, the Punchbowl, in memory of all the brave men and women who are interred there.
In addition, the Young Marines led the Pearl Harbor Memorial Parade in Honolulu. They carried the banners of the 12 capital ships that were attacked. The parade's objective was to honor the heroes and survivors of Pearl Harbor and World War II, to pay tribute to veterans, active duty military members and military families, to celebrate freedom and to keep in remembrance the heinous events of Dec. 7, 1941.
The participating Young Marines units were:
Young Marines units raised funds at their local level to supplement the costs of traveling to Hawaii to attend the commemoration ceremonies. The youths used their creativity, and applied the program's core values - leadership, teamwork and discipline - to implement unique and effective fundraising efforts.
The Young Marines is a national non-profit 501c(3) youth education and service program for boys and girls, age eight through the completion of high school. The Young Marines promotes the mental, moral and physical development of its members. The program focuses on teaching the values of leadership, teamwork and self-discipline so its members can live and promote a healthy, drug-free lifestyle.
Since the Young Marines' humble beginnings in 1959 with one unit and a handful of boys, the organization has grown to over 300 units with 11,000 youth and 3,000 adult volunteers in 46 states, the District of Columbia, Germany, Japan and affiliates in a host of other countries.

March 3rd:
Today I made frosted flakes with milk, or "flacon du mais glacee au
lait". Bought large 900g box at Price Chopper. N. sure if this will
last. Flakes were v. sweet because of frosting. Will have to try with
less milk next time.
March 4th:
Tried frosted flakes again, but this time, I added flakes to milk
instead of milk with flakes after researching this concept a little
more on the Internet.
This worked out very well. I will put up a flickr photostream on how
to pour the flakes into the milk.

Health Tip: Some Prone to Losing Bone Mass
Risk factors for osteopenia
(HealthDay News) -- Some people are at risk for losing bone mass, but haven't progressed to full-blown osteoporosis. In other words, their bodies break down old bone faster than they can produce new bone. Doctors call this condition osteopenia.
The American Academy of Family Physicians says risk factors for osteopenia include:
- Getting older.
- Starting menopause before age 45.
- Having surgery to remove the ovaries before menopause.
- Getting insufficient physical activity.
- Drinking too much alcohol, smoking or other use of tobacco.
- Having an eating disorder.
- Having an overactive thyroid.

Air Force Opens Special Ops Fitness Challenge to Public
WPAFB -- Do you have what it takes? The U.S. Air Force Special Ops Fitness Challenge is scheduled for June 14 at Huber Heights YMCA.
"The Air Force Special Ops teams are made of professionals who are extremely physically fit and mentally tough," said Lt. Col. Francine Nelson, commander of the 338th Recruiting Squadron. "It is challenging to find individuals who can meet the criteria of these elite career fields."
The challenge is a two-lap 25-meter underwater swim, 500-meter surface swim, 1.5-mile run and timed pull-ups/sit-ups/and push-ups. Participants will have their own evaluation worksheet for evaluators at each station to document their times or scores. All participants must sign a waiver before participating.
Those under 18 years of age can participate if the waiver is signed by themselves and a legal guardian or parent.
"We hope to accomplish two goals with our Special Ops Fitness Challenge," said Col. Nelson. "One is to bring more awareness to the general public that the Air Force has Special Operations forces and what the standards are, and second to identify people that may be interested, and capable, of becoming part of these Special Ops teams."
To register, contact Master Sgt's Brandy Martinoli or Ernest Castillo by June 11 by e-mail at email@example.com or firstname.lastname@example.com or by calling 937-257-3586. There will be prizes and refreshments for this event.
The Huber Heights YMCA is at 7251 Shull Road. The event is from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m., and is open to the public at no charge.

special issue of IEEE Intelligent Systems on self-adaptive software, Vol. 14, No. 6, 1999, pp. 22 - 29.
|Gesture-Based Programming is a paradigm for programming robots by human demonstration in which the human demonstrator directs the self-adaptation of executable software. The goal is to provide a more natural environment for the user as programmer and to generate more complete and successful programs by focusing on task experts rather than programming experts. We call the paradigm "gesture-based" because we try to enable the system to capture, in real-time, the intention behind the demonstrator's fleeting, context-dependent hand motions, contact conditions, finger poses, and even cryptic utterances in order to reconfigure itself. The system is self-adaptive in the sense that knowledge of previously acquired skills (sensorimotor expertise) is retained by the system and this knowledge facilitates the interpretation of the gestures during training and then provides feedback control during run-time.

Kevin Garnett hints at retirement, some friends think he will
After arguably Kevin Garnett's finest performance (given the stakes, how he got his points and the bazillion different ways he impacted the game), the last thing Boston Celtics fans want to hear is talk of his potential retirement. As Josh Smith said after being on the learning side of a clinic during KG's 38 minutes yesterday night, "He's got a lot left in the tank."
But in the aftermath of posting 28 points, 14 rebounds, five blocks, three steals and one game-winning bucket in Boston's 83-80 series-clinching victory last night, Garnett hinted that this season might be his last (he began his final answer in the press conference with, "Not knowing if this is my last season to play…"). If that quick slip of the tongue seemed harmless enough, hours later, Chris Mannix of Sports Illustrated reported that several of Garnett's close friends believe this year will be his last.
No one is completely sure what Kevin Garnett will do next season, when he will become a free agent for the first time in his career. There are those close to him that believe he will retire, that the prospect of another 82 games on his achy right knee will force him out. It takes a lot of work to get Garnett's surgically repaired knee game ready, sources say, and some friends think that after 17 seasons and more than $290 million in career earnings, KG will call it quits.
I would love to have KG play until he's 50, as long as he's still capable of doing one-quarter of the positive things he did last night. But playing basketball the way The Big Ticket plays it, and preparing for every season the way he does, is a mental and physical grind that affords Garnett no breaks. After 17 NBA seasons of giving himself zero time off and playing 117 MPH on every possession, even in practice, Garnett must want to spark a fire in his fireplace, take off his shoes, kick up his feet and read a nice book while drinking hot chocolate with plenty of whipped cream.
I don't want to keep bringing this up — partially because it's an incredibly long shot, partially because it makes me sad to think about — but it would be incredible if the Big Three won a second championship and then walked into the sunset holding each other's hands.
7 Responses to "Kevin Garnett hints at retirement, some friends think he will"
KG, keep playing for at least 2 more years, you're still young ! Just don't play extended minutes unless it's absolutely necessary. I hope you stay a Celtic and I want to keep seeing you play, you're inspirational in all that you do ! I would rather have a part time Big Ticket on my team than anyone else !

One of the compelling reasons I ended up working with marriages is because I helped a young man in my church dedicate himself to God and really turn his life around and he went home and his step-father picked a fight with him and his mom called the police and the police hauled this kid away! I realized then, if I wan to help children and families, I need to help mom and dad. I believe husbands and wives and marriages are the foundation of society and I am an expert in helping those couples thrive in their relationships, so they can be a blessing to their families. The greatest gift parents can give their children is for mom and dad to love each other. Let me help you give this gift!
Most family therapists inadvertently create more chaos through their well-intentioned efforts to assist a family move through a change process. Why? Brains are inherently deregulated (all of us, may I add) and most talking and dialoguing misses brain-centric problems that need more intensive help. Many times the emotional trauma created by years of solving problems ineffectively can wreak havoc on the brain's parasympathetic nervous system, not ever giving the family a break from flight or fight thinking. Contact us for an innovative neuroscience solution to family dysfunction. firstname.lastname@example.com or 877-606-6161.
A healthy marriage is a huge benefit to the children in the family. It gives security, safety, love, and healthy boundaries. I work to help the family by first working on the marriage. I can help with communication, parenting/step-parenting, stress management, problem solving, and affection. I can help empower the parents to be strong and yet loving. I do not work with the children directly.
We utilize family therapy as a cornerstone of treatment for many of our children and adolescent clients. We do not believe children and teens simply get better on their own without involving their family members in the treatment process. With younger children, parents are generally involved in treatment in order to utilize learned skills to change behavior problems when they present at home.
If you are in Iowa and seek assistance with parenting and extended family, or perhaps you are dealing with issues in your children, or trying to work out harmony in a blended family, family counseling Ankeny IAcan help. Theravive is the best source for effective Ankeny IA family therapy in Iowa. A professional Ankeny IA family therapist has training and expertise in family dynamics both in and outside the home and can help resolve toxic and broken relationships. Please contact a Ankeny, IA family counselor to begin your new commitment to beneficial change.
Welcome to our network of family therapists in Ankeny. Strife and turmoil in the home, or with extended family, can damage many of our relationships. Family counseling Ankeny, IA with a licensed and skilled family counselor can help find common ground, and begin restoration and healing.

Farms // Joao de Campos, Bella Vista, Kebado
Region // Alto Paranaba, La Palma, Sidamo
Processing // Dry-Process, Wet-Process
Cultivar // Catuai, Ethiopian Heirloom, Bourbon
Elevation // 1,200-1,800 Meters
Tasting Notes // Fresh Blueberries, Dark Chocolate, Balanced
Cup Characteristics: The Sermon is our fruit forward and heavy bodied espresso. A fresh, lighty tart blueberry and coffee cherry up front, with dark chocolate in the finish. These flavor characteristics blend incredibly well in milk drinks making a cappuccino with The Sermon decadent and dessert-like.
Sourcing Information: Sermon has always been a new take on an old classic. A round body, heavy chocolate notes, and berry sweetness are what we consistently strive for. We taste dozens of offerings each season to find the perfect combination to achieve this end. This season, we present a three bean blend hailing from Central America and Africa. Jọo de Campos, a dry-processed Yellow Catuai from Brasil, offers a sturdy body and sturdy background, while Kebado, from Sidamo, provides the intense berry notes. Balancing out these extremes is Bella Vista, which is a remarkably clean wet-processed Bourbon from El Salvador thatbridges the gap between the Jọo and Kebado. Together they yield an espresso that is both exciting and approachable.
Preparation Recommendations:The Sermon excels on a wide variety of espresso machine types (including the old-school, vintage lever machine types). We use a relatively standard approach on our more modern equipment; 20 grams in, 24-26 seconds, yeilding 17-18 grams (about 1.25oz). Some folks also like to use the blend on their coffee brewer or press pot for a deep cup.

2 Obamacare Taxes Hitting High-Income Earners
NEW YORK ( TheStreet) -- The Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act (PPACA) became law back in March 2010. Various provisions of the law go into effect over the next several years. The Supreme Court during 2012 decided not to strike down the law so it largely moves forward as written with a few exceptions. The PPACA includes two new taxes which become effective in 2013. It is critical for those defined as high earners to understand how these new taxes work and the strategies available to minimize their impact.
The first new tax is an incremental 0.9% Medicare tax on wages above $250,000 (married filing joint) and $200,000 (single). A married couple with $500,000 in wages in 2013 will owe an incremental $2,250 in taxes or simply $250,000 x.9%. This new tax is applied to gross wages and is before deductions for items like 401(k) contributions and healthcare premiums. It should be noted the tax also applies to self employment income earned by sole proprietors and partnerships as well.
This first tax will be hard to avoid as it is simply a function of wages or self employment income. The only way to avoid it is to structure compensation to stay below the $250,000 or $200,000 level.
The second new tax related to Obamacare is the "unearned income" tax. Married couples filing jointly with modified adjusted gross income (MAGI) above $250,000 are subject to this new tax. For single individuals this tax kicks in for MAGI above $200,000. So how does this second tax work? A married couple will pay the lower of 3.8% of:1) excess MAGI above $250k or 2) unearned income. For example, a married couple with a MAGI of $280,000 and unearned income of $15,000 would owe $570. The calculation works as follows: Lower of:
Excess MAGI $30,000 x 3.8% = $1,140
Unearned income $15,000 x 3.8% = $250 What is considered unearned income? Unearned income is very broad and includes: taxable interest, dividends, net capital gains, annuities, rents (non-trade/business), and royalties. Luckily, tax planning does exist for this second tax. The first strategy is to use tax exempt municipals since muni interest is not considered unearned income. A second possible strategy is to use what is known in the financial planning industry as "asset location," strategically dividing assets between taxable and tax-deferred accounts (401k, IRA, Roth IRA) in a way that maximizes after-tax returns. For example, placing an asset class like taxable corporate bonds inside a tax deferred account is more tax efficient. Likewise, a small cap stock fund that pays no dividend makes sense in a taxable account. The goal of asset location is to reduce unearned income where possible. Remember, the lower the unearned income the lower the tax bite! One other potential planning opportunity involves Roth conversions. While IRA required minimum distributions are not considered unearned income they are considered part of MAGI. Roth IRA distributions are not considered unearned income or MAGI. I would caution each strategy needs to be evaluated to a person's circumstances. Also, it is important to remember taxes are but one part of the overall situation and the tax tail should not wag the dog. Plan now for these 2013 taxes it might just save you some money!

Following more than a year of negotiations, The City of Coral Springs and the Fraternal Order of Police Lodge 87 have reached an agreement on a new 3-year contract. Both sides were prepared to present their case to the City Commission at an Impasse Hearing Monday morning. After hearing both sides of the dispute, the City Commission was charged with making the final decision on the terms of the new contract. Instead, having reached an agreement over the weekend, Deputy City Manager Susan Grant and FOP Representative Scott Myers presented a joint recommendation for the resolution of the impasse.
The new deal provides for an average wage increase of 2% in 2013, 2% in 2014, and 2.5% in 2015. The new contract also restructures the police pension plan. The restructured plan makes the following changes for years of service after September 30, 2012: reduces the multiplier from 3.5% for every year of service to 3%; the Cost of Living Adjustment was changed from 2.5% per year beginning the first year of retirement to 1% per year beginning 5 years after retirement; the retirement benefit which is currently calculated based on the average of the last 3 years of service will be calculated on the last 4 years of service; normal retirement will increase from 20 years of service to 25 years; and the compensation used to calculate the final average salary will change from base salary plus up to 14.5% of additional compensation to base salary only. As a result of these changes, the City expects to lose $893,000 a year in "Chapter 185" state contribution toward the pension. The new agreement reduces the member's contribution to the pension from 9.875% of pay to 8%.
Other than wage and pension changes all other terms of the contract remain unchanged.
The new pension plan is expected to save the City $3 million the first year alone and save $14 million during the first five years. The savings is expected to reach $32 million during the first 10 years.
"I was flattered and honored to work alongside the FOP representatives who remained cordial and professional during this very difficult process," City Manager Erdal Donmez said. "At the start of the process our goal was to create a pension plan that was permanent, affordable, fair, competitive, and sustainable," Donmez continued, "I am happy to report that we have met all of those goals."
"Of course, the union is not happy to give up any benefits," FOP Representative Scott Myers said, "but our members felt these changes were important to allow the City to meet its financial goals. This was truly a compromise with neither side coming away with everything it wanted."

Hill House by Andrew Maynard Architects
A stunning family home extension located near Melbourne, Australia, designed by Andrew Maynard Architects. The new structure was built in the backyard and faces the original house in order to maximize solar access, which tends to be indomitable in the area due to the constraints of thin allotments. The architect created an artificial hill on which sits a cantilevered box which acts as a solar eave. The family no longer uses the front door but rather enters via the side lane, the kitchen has become the nerve center of the house, and the old house is now the kids house. We like!

HS Vacation Packages: The Challenge Is On!
Dear Valley Catholic School High School Families,
The 2013 Valley Catholic School Gala (formerly known as the Auction) was officially launched during an exciting all-campus assembly two weeks ago. The High School Vacation Packages campaign was also launched at that time. The Gala Committee has asked high school families to help contribute the underwriting expense of these high school vacation packages with a suggested donation of $25.00 per student.
The real competition begins this week during Catholic Schools Week. We encourage each high school family to participate and help their student's class earn spirit points and improve their chances to win the coveted "spirit stick"! We have had many generous donations and will soon be working with our students to create exciting vacation packages from these funds. The race is on and here are the current standings:
1st place: Freshmen – 12.36%
2nd place: Seniors – 12.07%
3rd place: Juniors – 5.32%
4th place: Sophomores – 4.35%
The class with the highest participation rate will receive 500 spirit points and a Krispy Kreme party. The class with the second highest participation rate will receive 400 spirit points and the third place class will receive 300 spirit points. The class with the lowest participation rate will receive 200 spirit points. Please download the class trip donation form here or click here to donate online.
Donations made by Tuesday, January 29, 2013 will be eligible for spirit points.
HS Vacation Packages Campaign ends February 15, 2013.
As a reminder, our annual Gala provides the financial support that makes many of our school programs possible. As a pre-K through 12 school, we invite the entire community to play a role in supporting our school. From grade projects to class baskets to high school vacation packages, all of these help raise funds for our students and programs. Our high school classes each donate a trip as an item in the Live Auction. You make this possible through your donations.
How are the vacation packages chosen?
At a recent class meeting, each class (Freshmen, Sophomores, Juniors and Seniors) brainstormed ideas for the ideal vacation package they want to donate to the Gala. Each class raises money to cover the cost of their dream trip. If a class succeeds in raising the funds they need, they get to plan their perfect package. If they don't raise enough dollars, they revise their trip plans.
What are spirit points?
During Catholic Schools Week (January 28-February 1), each class will receive spirit points based on a variety of events and activities, including the class-sponsored vacation donations. Points will be awarded based on participation. The class with the highest participation rate will receive 500 points. The class with the next highest participation rate will receive 400 points, then 300 points. The class with the lowest participation rate will receive 200 spirit points.
How much should I donate?
We respectfully request a minimum donation of $25 per high school student. The donation is considered a family donation, so each child will receive credit for spirit points during Catholic Schools Week, regardless of the amount. However, for families with more than one student, we highly encourage a donation of $25 per student so that each class succeeds in creating the special trip that they have chosen for the Gala. All donations are tax-deductible. Donations of $100 or more are also eligible for our Procurement Contest.
Thank you for your support of the 2013 Gala! We hope you will join us on April 27!
