MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — A man from Texas drowned at a Minneapolis hotel Sunday night.
According to the Hennepin County Sheriff's Office, it happened around 6 p.m. at a swimming pool at Ramada Inn on Industrial Boulevard.
The 21-year-old man started to struggle when he entered the deep end of the indoor pool.
He ended up at the bottom of the pool and his family wasn't able to pull him out.
Hotel employees and bystanders eventually got him out, and emergency crews arrived and performed CPR.
He was brought to Hennepin County Medical Center where he was pronounced dead.
The Hennepin County Sheriff's Office continues to investigate.

"Men succeed when they realize that their failures are the preparation for their victories."
Dear Parents, Families and Students, Friends and Neighbors,
We are excited to announce that Watertown Unified School District (WUSD) "exceeds expectations" according to the 2013-2014 district report card from the Wisconsin Department of Public Instruction. District report cards provide information on how the district and its schools are performing, and where improvements are needed. They are intended to help give a better picture of how well students are prepared to graduate ready for college and a career.
Here's a brief snapshot of our scores:
Our district improved by 4.6 points this year, with an overall score of 73.0.
Lebanon Elementary School score, 80.8 shows that it exceeded expectations for the second year in a row.
Schurz Elementary School scored 73.5, up 8.9 points, putting that school in the "exceeds expectations" range for the very first time.
All other district schools report card scores improved as well, increasing between 1.6 and 4.2 points.
We also are proud to be good stewards of tax-payer dollars while providing an exceptional education to your children. While our district is among the largest in the state, it is one of those that spends the least, approximately $1,000 less per pupil than the state average over the past seven years. Over the past two years, we have needed to reduce our budget by more than $1.7 million, and in that same time, our school board has voted to refinance our Wisconsin Retirement Service liability to save more than $2 million in cash-flow savings. Additionally, you'll be pleased to know that for the third year in a row, we anticipate that the tax levy will be decreased! This year we are anticipating a decrease in the mill rate as well.
I am so excited to be a parent and leader in this district. We not only exceed academic expectations, we have a warm and welcoming staff, and we are located in a town dedicated to community.
Cassandra Schug
Superintendent of Schools

Sen. Charles Schumer joined forces Friday with Cardinal Timothy Dolan to urge the passage of national immigration reform.
Politicians joined business and labor leaders on the anniversary of the Senate's passage of its version of a reform bill.
Schumer said it's time for the House of Representatives to finally pass its version.
He said immigration is an especially important issue in New York.
"For centuries, people from around the globe have come to this great capital city of the world, and in one generation, their children are turned into Americans by New York, and they sally forth throughout the rest of the country and do great things," Schumer said.
"Darn it, it's good for America," Dolan said. "It's not to America's disadvantage, it's to America's advantage, economically, strength in the world, our prestige throughout the world when we continue to welcome the immigrant."
Schumer said the reforms would bring GDP growth, cuts in the deficit and an influx of high-tech workers to America.

HILLSBOROUGH A young boy with a love for archaeology dug a Civil War cannonball from the muddy banks of the Eno River earlier this month in Gold Park.
Sometimes you chase history, and sometimes it finds you, said Scott Washington, assistant director of the Orange County Historical Museum.
Eli Aquino, 8, was exploring the river with Hillsborough resident Tim Duffy and his friend Cornelius Lewis when they spotted the object on June 1. Normally, they find old glass bottles and shards of pottery, but this looked different, Lewis said.
They thought it might be a cannonball, but the fuse on top reminded them of a prisoners ball and chain. They took it back to Duffys house in a bucket of water, where it sat for about a week in the driveway.
We like swimming, and he got some goggles from his mom, and he wanted to go find treasure, Duffy said. He was down there having fun.
They called Washington and the Hillsborough Police Department about the object Monday. Police evacuated the property as a precaution and called the nearest bomb squad at the Durham County Sheriffs Office.
The U.S. Bormann 12-pound fused cannonball, coated with red mud and rust, had an intact timer and was live, said Sgt. Mark Manning, with the bomb squad. Even if kept in water, black powder never goes bad, he said.
The bomb squad put the cannonball in a containment vessel and took it to a storage area. They plan to disarm it but arent sure how much will be saved, Manning said.
Duffy did the right thing by keeping the cannonball in water, Washington said.
He consulted (with authorities), he put it in a bucket of water as soon as he knew, (and) didnt move it, Washington said. You dont want to transport these around.
The best approach, however, is to call law enforcement and leave the ordnance alone, he said.
Theres no way to know how the cannonball got to the park, he said. Confederate Gen. Joseph E. Johnston headquartered in Hillsborough during the Civil War, and many troops camped there before the 1865 surrender to Union Gen. William T. Sherman at Bennett Place in Durham.
The cannonball would have been packed with black powder and projectiles; its fuse was ignited by the muzzle flash, Washington said. The timer was set to explode the cannonball one to five seconds later, raining a hail of shrapnel on the enemy.
Hillsborough police regularly get calls about unexploded ordnance, Cpl. Scott Foster said.
Most times, people dont know what theyve got, Manning said.

Getting clean and sober from Zohydro, Temesta, alcohol or other drugs you or your loved one is addicted to takes an individualized treatment arrangement. Two options of substance abuse treatment clinics in La Crosse can help you succeed: either In-patient or Out-patient Rehab. Residential care offers continuing benefits with extended residence in an excellent rehabilitation program. From-home plans may be more opportune, but lack the permanence and resources of 45-day programs to get sober. Ultimately, the choice is your own, and we are here to help you find the best option for you.
Withdrawing yourself from the conditions of the addiction issue can help get rid of disruptions and temptations that prevent long-term recovery. When viewing rehab as a therapeutic refuge, addicts will find executive luxury facilities in cities outside of La Crosse, Wisconsin.

A co-occurring disorder refers to someone who is simultaneously coping with both a substance abuse problem and a behavioral or mental issue. For instance, an addiction to Percocet, Xanax, Norco or OxyContin combined with an addiction to porn or an internet addiction. For these people, a residential rehab center is often imperative, incorporating quality inpatient treatments with group support, such as one might find in AA. Luxury drug rehabs in La Crosse, Wisconsin will provide state-of-the-art treatment with upscale amenities for anyone requiring the very best drug rehab experience, just as La Crosse alcohol rehab centers will help those battling alcoholism to attain sobriety.
Note About Insurance for Addiction Treatment: APS Healthcare, First Health Network and Managed Health Network frequently cover at least a portion of your rehab stay, and you can find out more about your own carrier or benefit status here.
An Overview on La Crosse Recovery Centers In eight years, the rate of drug-related deaths in Wisconsin has more than doubled. In 2000, the rate was at 4.0 deaths per 100,000 people. In 2008, that number increased to 8.5 deaths per 100,000. In 2008, there were nearly 15,000 hospitalizations in Wisconsin due to drug use, a 34-percent increase from 2002. The town of La Crosse is no stranger to drug use. Heroin has become the area's drug of choice.
In just two years, heroin use has become an epidemic, with hundreds of residents treated for drug overdose every year. Could the city's free needle program be the culprit?
Types of Recovery Approaches
While individual counseling is highly effective, many patients may feel more comfortable in a group setting. This is why group counseling is used in many rehab facilities. Group counseling allows patients to interact with each other and find out why they chose to use drugs or alcohol. Group counseling can be highly beneficial to those who feel alone and ashamed of their choices. Rehab can feel like failure to some, so being around people with similar addiction issues can be refreshing. They can learn from each other, which can boost confidence and encourage personal growth.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia - View original article
|Look up hoon in Wiktionary, the free dictionary.
Hoon is a term used in Australia and New Zealand, to refer to anyone who engages in loutish, anti-social behaviours. In particular, it is used to refer to one who drives a car or boat in a manner which is anti-social by the standards of contemporary society, i.e. too fast, too noisily or too dangerously. In New Zealand, the term "boy racer" is also widely used. Another slang term, revhead—derived from "rev", an alternate term for RPM—is sometimes used in place of hoon. "Anti-hoon laws", while they generally concern road vehicles, sometimes also target anti-social behaviour in motor boats.
Hoon activities can include speeding, burnouts, doughnuts or screeching tyres.[1] Those commonly identified as being involved in "hooning" or street racing are young and predominantly male, although increasingly female, drivers in the age range of 17 and 35 years.[2]
Hoon control laws are beginning to be extended to dangerous and annoying hoon behaviour using boats and other vessels, particularly jet skis. The State of Victoria, Australia passed legislation in late 2009 to control hoon activities using recreational vessels.[3]
In the turn of the 20th century in Australia, the term "hoon" (and its rhyming slang version "silver spoon" and also "banana")[4] had a different meaning: one who lived off immoral earnings (i.e. the proceeds of prostitution, a pimp or procurer of prostitutes).[5]
Linguist Sid Baker in his book The Australian Language suggested that "hoon" (meaning "a fool") was a contraction of Houyhnhnm, a fictional race of intelligent horses which appears in Gulliver's Travels by Jonathan Swift.[4][6]
Hoon, when used in relation to people in motor vehicles (or associated with car culture), may be onomatopoeia. One may speak of a car, or its driver, or its occupants in general as "hooning down the road".[7]
It could also be a clipped form of "hooligan."
The term "hoon" has obtained a semi-official use in Australia, with police and Governments referring to legislation targeting anti-social driving activity as "anti-hoon laws". The term has even begun to appear in the titles of legislation, for example the Transport Legislation Amendment (Hoon Boating and Other Amendments) Act 2009 of the State of Victoria.
In Western Australia, the Road Traffic Amendment (Impounding and Confiscation of Vehicles) Bill 2004,[8] which was passed by the Parliament of Western Australia in June 2004, empowered the Western Australia Police to confiscate and impound vehicles found to be engaging in excessive speed or noise.[9] The law was used to impound a Lamborghini that was being driven by a mechanic without the owner's knowledge. The police claim that the law does not permit them to release the car under the only legal course of action available to the owner, that of "hardship". The police claim that if he has the money to own the car "he can afford to hire a vehicle",[10] leading the owner to claim that the law is the equivalent of "mandatory sentencing without trial".[11] The Western Australian Police Minister, Rob Johnston, "admits the laws are unfair but says he stands by them".[12] Former Western Australia District Court Chief Judge Antoinette Kennedy described the minister's reaction as an attempt to use "the politics of envy".[13] After all 'Hoon' related offences, the plaintiffs license is cancelled thereby forfeiting any time spent on the licence, e.g. If said driver held 'P Plates' and was charged under hoon legislation, the driver would return to the start of the time period and not pick up where they left off.
In the state of Victoria, hoon-related offences include burnouts, doughnuts, drag racing, repeated driving while disqualified and high-level speeding were added to Section 84C of the Road Safety Act 1986 in July 2006. Victoria Police have impounded an average of ten cars a day under the laws,[14] with over 5,000 vehicles confiscated and impounded two years after their introduction.[15] By contrast, the hoon boating laws of Victoria currently center on offences involving dangerous behaviour and do not yet reference offences relating to public order or amenity.[16]
In Queensland, the Police Powers and Responsibilities Act 2000 allows members of the Queensland Police to impound the vehicles involved in proscribed offences.[17] The laws relating to confiscation of vehicles for offences such as street racing, time trials and burnouts were strengthened in 2002. Further laws introduced in July 2008 provided for the confiscation of vehicles for repeat offenders involved with drunk driving, driving while suspended or driving with illegal modifications. Offenders can lose their vehicle for 48 hours for the first repeat offence, up to three months for a second repeat offence, or permanently for a third repeat offence. On 11 August 2008, a number of confiscated vehicles were auctioned by the government, The remainder were crushed and sold as scrap metal.[18]
In New South Wales, the word "hoon" is actually contained in the name of the legislation: the Road Transport Legislation Amendment (Car Hoons) Act 2008 enacted in July 2008 introduced new measures against street racing and offences, and increased fines. Previous legislation provided for the vehicles of repeat offenders to be forfeited to the Crown, but the Car Hoons Act allowed the confiscated vehicles to be utilised for crash testing by the Roads and Traffic Authority, for educational and deterrence purposes as well as to test the effect of certain vehicle modification on the roadworthiness of the car.[19]
In South Australia, the relevant legislation is the Criminal Law (Clamping, Impounding And Forfeiture Of Vehicles) Act 2007. The legislation was amended in December 2009 to direct the courts that when recording a conviction for a 'prescribed offence' that the court must also make an order that the motor vehicle specified in the application is forfeited to the Crown. At this point the Police Commissioner can choose to either sell or dispose of the car. i.e. crush it. At the end of 2010, 62 cars had been impounded by the courts. None were worth more than $1600 and many were not even capable of reaching 150 km/h.[20]

Gophers coach Don Lucia was pleased with his re-juggled defensive pairs.
Freshman Ben Marshall was out of the lineup Friday because of an injury, replaced by another freshman, 20-year-old Blake Thompson.
That move led to a couple others. The end results was Nate Schmidt, Mark Alt and Jake Parenteau all were playing with new partners.
Even so the Gophers won 3-2 over Nebraska Omaha in overtime. The Mavericks had only 24 shots on goal -- or about 10 under their average of 34.4.
"Blake Thompson did a nice job," Lucia said. "I thought all the D was sharp [Friday] night as far as playing with new partners and mixing and matching. Mike [associate head coach Mike Guentel did a great job with that.
"Blake was steady. He was physical and he made good decisions with the puck all night long.
"We kept their shots down and kept a lot of it to the outside."
Thompson's line: no shots, plus-1 and, really important, zero penalties in his fourth game as a Gopher. He had six penalties in his first three games for 23 minutes.
The Gophers did have a few breakdowns. Lucia talked about one of them: "Their shorthanded goal was just the result of a pass that bounced off our stick, and right to them. And away they came on a two-on-one. They had seven shorties coming in and they have some dangerous players that they use. And we don't have Ben Marshall, who has been there all year.
"[We] had some good looks, too. Their goaltender made some real big saves there in the second period on [Jake] Hansen and [Nick] Bjugstad. We had some really good looks on the power play. But he made the saves."
Ryan Massa had 29 saves for UNO.
The Gophers' lineup:
1st line/ Kyle Rau-Nick Bjugstad-Zach Budish ... Bjugey credited Budish for screening the goalie on his 23rd goal of the season ... Bjugey had four shots on goal
2nd line/ Sam Warning-Erik Haula-Jake Hansen ... Both Haula and Hansen had several Grade A scoring chances on Friday
3rd line/ Nate Condon-Taylor Matson-Nico Sacchetti .... Condon had a team-high five shots on goal and key assist on winning goal
4th line/ Joe Miller-Travis Boyd-Seth Ambroz ... Miller replaces Tom Serratore in lineup
Seth Helgeson-Justin Holl ... Holl had three shots on net
Nate Schmidt-Mark Alt ... Alt was the only plus-2 player in Gophers' lineup
Jake Parenteau-Blake Thompson ... Wonder if Parenteau has come down from his emotional high after OT goal?
Kent Patterson ... his goals-against average down to 2.09
1. Shoot the puck. How many times did a Gopher play with a chance to shoot pass it up and pass instead. And usually the shot was bit off, got blocked or the recipient shot wide. Lots of missed chances. Gophers need to put more sustained pressure on a good goalie
2. Keep taking goalie's eyes away. On two of the Gophers' goals, there was traffic in front. Massa was screened and either didn't see the puck or saw it too late. If he sees it, Massa is tough.
3. Figure out the power play. It looked awful at time. Five shots on four power plays and what's worse, short-handed chances for UNO. Did you see the three-on-one UNO had short-handed late in the second period? Gophers can do better. They must in the playoffs.
Freshman defenseman Ben Marshall was hurt last Saturday against Bemidji State and didn't finish the game. His status for this game was in doubt.
And now it's certain. He won't play this weekend. He didn't make the trip to Omaha. In his place in the lineup is freshman D-man Blake Thompson who has played only three games. Marshall had played every game, or 33 total.
Thompson is an older freshman. He is 20. He played two years for Waterloo of USHL after high school hockey at Eden Prairie. He had two assists in Gophers' season opponent, then sat until 5-4 loss to Vermont on Oct. 23. Only other game he played in was in a 6-2 win over Michigan Tech on Dec. 10.
He is being paired with Jake Parenteau, probably team's best defensive D-man.
Nate Schmidt, who usually skates with Parenteau, is with Mark Alt in place of Marshall. So two of the Gophers' defensive pairs are different. Wonder how concerned Gophers coaches are about those switches against a team that like to pepper goalies with shots.
Dean Blais said he is hoping Mavs get at least 25-30 shots a game this weekend.
The Gophers' lines:
1st line/ Kyle Rau-Nick Bjugstad-Zach Budish ... Top line had three goals and three assists last Friday against Beavers
2nd line/ Sam Warning-Erik Haula-Jake Hansen ... Second line carried Gophers on Sat., with three goals vs. BSU
3rd line/ Nate Condon-Taylor Matson-Nico Sacchetti ... Some Gophers fans probably look forward to U going on penalty kill just to see Condon and Matson on the kill. Condon has four shorties
4th line/ Tom Serratore-Travis Boyd-Seth Ambroz ... Sort of a homecoming for Ambroz, he played three season with Omaha Lancers of USHL while brother Matt played for UNO
Seth Helgeson-Justin Holl ... Helgeson played in his 100th game as Gopher last Sat.
Nate Schmidt-Mark Alt ... new combination; Schmidt is more offensive like Marshall was
Jake Parenteau-Blake Thompson ... Blake has probably heard a lot this week about staying out of the box
Kent Patterson ... making his 55th start in a row. Mr. Steady for Gophers
Terry Broadhurst-Jayson Megna-Matt White ... Goal total for them are 16, 11, 16. Gotta watch 'em
Ryan Walters-Brock Montpetit-Josh Archibald ... Walters is from Rosemount, Archibald from Brainerd
Dominic Zombo-Brent Gwidt-Brian O'Rourke ... Six goals combined ... can't let them score
James Polk-Joe Krause-Zahn Raubenheimer ... One goal combined
Comments: This is a two-line team when it comes to scoring. Big dropoff to two lower lines; only one forward over 6-2
Michael Young- Andrej Sustr ... Young is 6-4, 210; Sustr is 6-8, 218 ... Yikes
Jaycob Megna-Bryce Aneloski ... Megna is 6-6, Aneloski 6-2. Both weigh 200.
Matt Smith-Kyle Ensign ... Ensign has played 101 games and is still looking for first goal
Ryan Massa ... 2.34 goals-against average, .922 save pct. He's freshman from Littleton, Colo.
Gophers coach Don Lucia liked what he saw Friday in his team's 3-0 whitewash of Bemidji State. So he is sticking with the same lineup. If you are a fan of the team, you should know what it is. Eleven of the 19 players in the lineup have played every game, including five of the defensemen and goalie Kent Patterson.
The forwards:
1st line/ Kyle Rau-Nick Bjugstad-Zach Budish ... this line was impressive on Friday with three goals and three assists. Budish had two of the goals, Bjguey one.
2nd line/ Sam Warning-Erik Haula-Jake Hansen ... would be nice if this trio chipped in with a few more points to ease whatever burden the top line feels. Haula had assist on Friday on power play playing with Bjugey, Rau and Hansen.
3rd line/ Nate Condon-Taylor Matson-Nico Sacchetti ... Condon and Matson, team's two best penalty killer had a night off from that duty. Gophers did not commit a penalty for first time this season
4th line/ Tom Serratore-Travis Boyd-Seth Ambroz ... Serratore was one of the players that Lucia singled out for playing well after Friday
Defensive pairs
Seth Helgeson-Justin Holl ... helped keep Beavers well away from Gophers net on Friday, 13 shots total
Ben Marshall-Mark Alt ... Both had one assist on Friday and were plus-2
Jake Parenteau-Nate Schmidt ... Parenteau named third star of Friday's game with two shots, two blocks, one big hit
Kent Patterson ... got seventh shutout on Friday, has one more than any other goalie in D-I puck
1. Play smart. Just like Friday. It's not likely Gophers will go through a whole weekend without a penalty, but they need to avoid them at bad -- like in the last minutes of a game (remember Denver last Saturday)
2. Get another line going besides the first line ... Lucia says the Gophers are at their best when everyone is contributing. Friday was pretty much a first line how on offense. That trio had 15 shots -- or two more than the Beavers
3. Guard against overconfidence. The Beavers will be better. Count on it. Come to the game expecting a tough game. A lot of hockey is mental. The Gophers need a sweep. And should get it because they are the better team but ... funny things happen in college hockey.
Tom Serratore also is gong with the same lineup.
1st line/ Ben Kinne-Aaron McLeod-Jordan George ... George is the Beavers' most dangerous forward with 15 goals
2nd line/ Brance Orban-Shea Walters-David Boehm ... Walters is from Hibbing, playing with a player from Alberta and Florida
3rd line/ Jamie MacQueen-Jeff Jubinville-Danny Matson ... Matson is from Minneapolis
4th line/ Tyler Tosunian-Drew Fisher-Darcy Findlay ... Fisher is an ex-Gopher
Brad Hunt-Matt Prapavessis
Jake Areshenko-Sam Windle
Matt Carlson-Kyle Brodie
Dan Bakala ... assuming he will start again tonight
Gophers coach Don Lucia blew up his forward lines last Saturday for the second game in Denver. It almost worked. The Gophers lost 4-3 in overtime.
But back home at Mariucci, to face Bemidji State on Friday, he is back to basically the four lines he has used almost all of the season.
The lines:
1st/ Kyle Rau-Nick Bjugstad-Zach Budish. ... Rau missed last Saturday's game because he was suspended. Bjugey still leads the team with 21 goals but has only one in the past five games. Budish had a "dirty" goal from near the blue paint in Denver.
2nd/ Sam Warning-Erik Haula-Jake Hansen. ... Haula played left wing either on the first or second line last weekend because he was a little banged up. He's better now and back at his normal spot. Warning provides speed, Hansen grit on the other wing.
3rd/ Nate Condon-Taylor Matson-Nico Sacchetti ... Condon and Matson are team's two best penalty killers, Lucia says, and now that they are on same line again, can go out on a kill together. That's a plus. Sacchetti's recent play has earned him a spot in the lineup. He has played only 12 games.
4th/ Tom Serratore-Travis Boyd-Seth Ambroz. ... Serratore will play against his uncle, the BSU coach. Boyd was left home on the road trip to DU. Lucia said he was missed as a penalty killer. Ambroz has usually played on third line this season but he hasn't been scoring. He has only four goals and three assists.
Seth Helgeson-Justin Holl. ... Holl took a late penalty last Saturday and DU tied the game on the ensuing power play in the last two minutes
Ben Marshall-Mark Alt. ... Both have played 31 games as have three of the other four starting D-men
Jake Parenteau-Nate Schmidt. ... Schmidt has fallen off his point per game pace; he has 28 points in 31 games. Maybe he can have a big weekend against BSU. Trouble is Beavers have top penalty kill in WCHA and Schmidt's gets most of his points on the pp
Kent Patterson. .... Had an off game last Friday, when Gophers lost 5-3 to Pioneers. Winning goal by Jason Zucker came from the goal line extended, a real tough angle. Still has solid 2.20 goals-against average
1. Gophers need to play with intensity -- from the start -- and throughout the game. Last Friday, they played well the first 10 minutes, which is what the coaches preach, then looked pretty sorry the next 10 minutes of the opening period. DU pelted Kent Patterson with 19 shots and led 3-1 after the first 20 minutes.
2. Get the top line going. Nick Bjugstad had three of his eight goals against Bemidji State on the last weekend of the regular season a year ago. He has 21 goals this season, but only one in his past five games. Time for him and Rau to break out for him. Rau has been pretty quiet lately, too.
3. Patterson has to be sharp. Kent is going up against Dan Bakala, the defensive player of the week in the WCHA. Bakala has been real good for the Beavers lately. Patterson has to match him save for save, give the Gophers a chance. BSU has the top PK in the league, so it's unlikely the Gophers will score a lot of goals.
Three keys to the Gophers beating St. Cloud State:
1. Hit the net instead of posts. Kyle Rau, Nick Bjugstad and Nate Condon all hit posts on Friday in the Gophers' 2-1 win over SCSU at Mariucci. Rau in the first period, Bjugstad in the second and Condon in the third.
It really should not have been a 2-1 game. The Gophers outshot the Huskies 2-1, or 26-13.
Condon acted the most upset with his shot off the post. It came in the last two minutes on a short-handed rush. He has four shorties already. Five would have tied him for the national lead.
2. Watch that top St. Cloud State line. Both snipers from Little Falls are on the same line for SCSU tonight, Ben Hanowski and Jared Festler. They are dangerous along, together they could give the Gophers trouble.
3. Don't fall behind. The Gophers fell behind 4-1 on Nov. 18 in their first visit to the Granite City and lost 4-3 despite two goals in the last five minutes. The U seems to play much better with a lead. And on Saturdays they are 9-0-0 in WCHA play.

My friends Michael and Daniel Rolland had a difficult duty to perform last week. The brothers, both Catholic priests, had to preside and preach, respectively, at their mother's funeral Mass Friday.
They could have opted out and let another priest take over. But they said it would feel even more awkward for them to be on the sidelines than to be at the altar.
So as we gathered at St. Daniel the Prophet Catholic Church in Scottsdale, there they were, joined by fellow members of their Dominican order from around the Western United States and by family and friends.
Ellen Rolland died a week ago Wednesday at age 77. I've known her and her children, a total of four boys, since Michael and I were teenagers.
As I watched Mike and Dan do so well — they even were able to inject a bit of humor into the proceedings by feigning brotherly competitiveness — it was still enough to make anyone wonder what it would be like someday for most of us to deal with the loss of our own parents.
Funerals do that, of course. They have done it before and since 17th century poet John Donne's famous phrase about not asking for whom the bell tolls.
It wasn't hard for me to think about my mother and father at all. They were sitting next to me at St. Daniel's. They are in their mid-70s and in good health. As I listened to Dan's sermon, I asked myself, would I be able to give a eulogy for one of them someday?
I confess that I might not be able to pull it off. Today, I get so emotional I can't even watch my mother tap dance (she's taken classes in it) without sniffling and tearing up with love and pride.
At Friday's funeral, Dan's remarks were given without notes — he is, after all, a professional — and he paused to collect himself only once. He commented on the gospel passage about Lazarus' sisters, Martha and Mary. His mother, he said, was more like Martha, always anxious about details.
And for a few minutes, there was I, also rather anxious about details myself. I'm sure I wasn't the only one.
Details plague us. They are what get us to where we're going, to what we're trying to accomplish. And yet they can take us away from the satisfaction of getting there, of accomplishing that, to the point of delving into all those details in the first place.
Martha's sister Mary was not one for details. She concentrated instead on the simple truths of her faith.
The family mourning the loss of their mother Friday provided her with their last gifts to her, their attention and respect and love, as always.
For those of us whose parents are still with us, the eulogies will have their own day.
We have living to do before then, making those phone calls and appointments to see our loved ones. How we do it isn't anywhere near as important as just doing it.
The details can wait.

This rug encompasses the exact description of the rug on Overstock. The quality is a great value for the cost, and it does have great character in the details. If anyone spends $*** for a rug online (they know will be too expensive to return), then they should read the reviews - especially regarding the color. It certainly has a more beige background (than grey), and the grey comes into play when describing the blue. It isn't labeled inaccurately, the pictures on Overstock just seem to have a different lighting to them making it appear grey-ish. The blue is muted with a hint of grey. The rug isn't so stiff however as others have described, its just a 100% wool rug, so it's not going to feel plush of your feet like a shag rug or polyester rug would. Which also means this rug will be more durable. The print goes well with white wood furniture, dark wood floors, light beige couches to contrast with the dark beige in the background of the rug, yellows, dark blues, and a room that allows for a rug with a lot of detail to act as a centerpiece. Hope this helps! ***
I bought this rug for what is currently our playroom and will eventually be our dining room again. I wanted something with blue undertones. The rug is very pretty, the blue has a grey undertone, not at all like teal or green anywhere, which is what I wanted. The taupe is very nice as well, could be close to beige. The rug is not exactly soft feeling on your feet, but it is thick and good quality. There was some shedding, as to be expected, but it wasn't too bad.
I was looking for a blue rug with a subtle design and this turned out brown-beige with a very defined pattern. I sent it back because it just didn't fit into the room colcr-wise.
I kept looking at this online, because it seemed to be the perfect rug for my foyer. And I read the other reviews, but I guess I misunderstood the "beige" coloring. It appears more cream to me online, but is very tan-looking in person. And the design looks kind of cheap in person. Just my opinion. I was just so in love with the picture online, but when I rolled the rug out in my foyer, my heart sank. I was so disappointed. It's a great value for the money, which is mostly why I was so excited about it! Now I have to decide if I want to pay for - and mess around with - returning it.

Can some medications cause problems with my contact lenses?
In general, over-the-counter (OTC) or prescription eye drops or ointments should not be placed
in the eye while you are wearing your contact lenses. The only exception is for medications
specifically made to be used while wearing contact lenses. Products not labeled safe to use
with contact lenses may contain preservatives or chemicals that can damage the contact
Certain OTC and prescription medications can cause irritation or damage contact lenses. Medications that cause dry eyes or blurred vision (for example, antihistamines, diuretics, tricyclic antidepressants, and oral contraceptive pills) can make wearing contact lenses uncomfortable.
In addition, contact lenses can become damaged from medications being excreted into the tears. For example, digoxin can increase glare on the lens while ribavirin can turn the lens cloudy. Some antibiotics (for instance, rifampin, tetracycline, and nitrofurantoin) or pain medications (such as sulfasalazine or phenazopyridine) can change the color of body fluids, including tears. Contact lenses can absorb this coloring permanently, thus changing the color of the lenses.
Always check the warning labels that come with over-the-counter and prescription medications. Select the right eye drops or other solutions for your type of contact lenses. If you are unsure, check with your doctor, eye care professional, or pharmacist.

Wright was the first backup to center Tyson Chandler with Greg Smith also under consideration to fill Wright's previous role.
Okafor has not played since 2012-13 while recovering from a herniated desk in his neck. O'Neal played for the Warriors last season and averaged 7.9 points and 5.5 rebounds.
O'Neal will make a decision about his future in January. The 36-year-old has played 18 seasons in the NBA. He averaged 7.9 points per game last year.
O'Neal suffered the injury early in the second quarter of Game 6, after a collision with Glen Davis under the basket. He had to be helped to the locker room immediately, and was diagnosed with a sprained right knee. X-rays came back negative, but he will likely undergo further evaluation with the team off Friday.
At this time, it seems unlikely O'Neal will be available to play in a possible Game 7, if the Warriors are able to force the issue.
Iguodala is getting the night off to rest as he continues to deal with tendinitis in his right knee, while O'Neal is out with soreness in his left knee. Both players will likely be considered day to day moving forward, with the Warriors' next game set for Sunday in Portland
O'Neal scored 16 points on 6 of 8 from the floor, and 4 of 6 from the free throw line. He also chipped in with 10 rebounds, two assists and three blocks while logging 27 minutes of game action.
O'Neal has doubled up in back-to-back games. He is averaging 11.0 points and 9.3 rebounds over his last five games.
O'Neal played just 16 minutes in his return to action, and did not do much with it. He scored 3 points while shooting 0 for 2, and adding four rebounds and one assist in a 101-92 win.
O'Neal's wrist might give him problems throughout the rest of the season, but the Warriors should be able to limit his minutes anyways. He is averaging just 6.5 points and 4.7 rebounds in 21 appearances this season.
O'Neal's presence in practice improves his chances at playing in his team's first postbreak game Wednesday. He has averaged 6.5 points and 4.7 rebounds over 20 games played.
Bogut will be missing his fourth straight game due to a bone bruise in his shoulder. O'Neal will miss his second straight with a wrist injury.
Head coach Mark Jackson said Monday that O'Neal is dealing with pain in his surgically repaired right wrist, NBA.com reports. O'Neal missed nearly two months while recovering from wrist surgery but started each of the team's last two games at center. He has averaged 6.5 points and 4.7 rebounds over 20 games played.
O'Neal hadn't appeared in a game since Dec. 9 while recovering from wrist surgery but returned to play 17 minutes Tuesday, recording eight rebounds and one block in addition to his nine points. He has averaged 6.4 points and 4.7 rebounds over 18 games played.
O'Neal posted on twitter Tuesday he will be available off the bench for that evening's game, returning just eight weeks after undergoing surgery. The initial prognosis had the veteran missing much of the rest of the season, as he was told he would be out four weeks.
O'Neal suffered a wrist injury on Dec. 9 and went under the knife four days later. He has averaged 6.2 points and 4.5 rebounds over 17 games played.
O'Neal has been out since Dec. 9 due to the wrist injury but hopes to return this season. He has averaged 6.2 points and 4.5 rebounds over 17 games played.
O'Neal has been playing through the injury, but it's enough to keep him out Wednesday. He has averaged 6.2 points, 4.5 rebounds and 18.6 minutes in 17 games.
The wrist has been bothering O'Neal for weeks, and he's had it looked at multiple times, with the latest exam coming Monday. He doesn't plan on thinking about surgery until after the season.
O'Neal has already missed the last two games, and now can be scratched from the next two as well. He has averaged 5.2 points and 3.8 rebounds over nine games.
"Great news that it wasn't as serious as it looked," Warriors coach Mark Jackson told NBA.com prior to tip. "Just thankful and looking forward to having him back as soon as possible. But obviously we're going to stay true to the process like usual, get him treatment, get him proper rest and try to hold the fort down until he's ready."
O'Neal is averaging 5.2 points and 3.8 rebouns in 17.3 minutes per game as the team's backup center.
O'Neal has averaged 5.2 points, 3.8 rebounds and 1.1 blocks in nine games played this season.
O'Neal had six points, four rebounds and two blocks in 12 minutes before exiting.

I would say they missed it out, cant see it making any difference between those versions
I would say just carry on tbh
Hey everyone
We're about to start deploying Ex2010 but I'm confused:
MS say that in a 2008R2 environment, the minimum requirements for the Schema Master are 2008R2 Standard or Enterprise but makes no mention of Datacenter
The same is true for Global Catalog server requirements
When you get to Domain Controllers, however, it does list Datacenter as well as Enterprise and Standard
Does this mean I have to have a 2008R2 Standard/Enterprise machine around despite having Datacenter licenses? My head says this can't be correct as there's no real difference between Ent and Data, but why list it as valid for one situation and not for others?
I would say they missed it out, cant see it making any difference between those versions
I would say just carry on tbh
See that's what I thought but I keep asking myself 'why mention it under Domain Controllers but not Schema Master or Global Catalog?'
Theoretically speaking, it should be supported for "Schema master" and "Global catalog server". However, it indeed isnt included in the list by official article. I have asked the product team to verify but in my experience is should be fine.
Thanks Sukh
There certainly doesn't seem to be anything which could interfere but still...
Please let us know when you hear back from MS
Thank you!
out of interest why are you using datacentre for a DC, is purely to get the free VM? or is there a techinical requirement?
Free VM. I suppose we could probably use the downgrade rights in some way to get Enterprise but I'd rather keep things standardised where possible and all our other VMs are Datacenter (except two Windows 2003 VMs we have - a Terminal Server and the existing FSMO master DC!)
Hi, I am new to the forum today. I found this post while researching exactly the same issue and can't find any reference online to confirm whether 2008 datacenter can be a GC and FSMO role holder to sit in a site with Exchange 2010.
Did you ever get an answer or confirm in practise that this works ok?

Federated access to internal resources for external users and partners through
Active Directory Federation Services (AD FS)
Better management of certificates and smart card enrollment with Advanced
Certificate Management Services (AD CS)
I see no reason why (AD DS) is not supported.
The Standard and Enterprise editions of 2008 R2 are just artificially restricted versions of the Datacenter edition. I wouldn't worry about it personally.
You can always perform an in-place upgrade to go from Standard to Enterprise or Enterprise to Datacenter if you want to (via DISM). This is supported according to Microsoft.
Code:DISM /Online /Set-Edition:Datacenter /ProductKey:XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX
That's what I thought. Just odd microsoft quote standard and enterprise as supported for the GC and Schema master roles, then mention datacenter addition as supported further down as supported for a DC role.
Ha, it won't let me add a link yet as I only have 1 post!

I love London. It is a city full of life — vibrant, bustling, soothingly cacophonous. There are people of every shape and color. I love it. People talk over one another, all trying to be heard at the same moment. They move in a piece of artwork; they constantly flow around and by each other, interacting with space. There is a rhythm to the city. The beat is kept by the regular changing of traffic lights. The roar of cars are the bass and the horns are melody. It cannot be contained. It is a upbeat dance at Westminster and Trafalgar, and a romantic waltz in Kensington Gardens and right along the Thames at night. There is something magical about the history, art, and passion. Don't just trust me. Go see for yourself.
Just a Couple Shots to Share
The last few days on the program were crazy. We had been travelling all week, and finals were fast approaching. That doesn't mean we stopped enjoying the City!
We visited the Tower of London again, which currently has an incredible WWI memorial. There are 800,000+ red poppies. Each one represents a life taken during the Great War.
We got to see 39 Steps! It was hysterical. Totally funny — and clean! The cast of four plays over a 100 roles in the 2 hour show. I highly recommend it.
We also had our last Sunday in our wonderful ward. We had our bad days, but overall I loved being a part of the primary. The kids were so sweet when sending us off. I'll always remember my calling in the ward as a highlight of my experience in London.
That night, we had a powerful sharing meeting. It wasn't really a testimony meeting, but it was an opportunity for people to express their thoughts at the end of the program. It was almost two and a half hours long, but it didn't feel like that. We had really become a family over the course of the summer. It's amazing what throwing 47 people in a house together can do. (I think the crazy long coach rides helped too.)
Monday we had finals. We knocked them out in the morning, and then had the rest of the day to ourselves. It was mostly spent packing. It was a good weekend. Even while studying all the way through it. :)
Brighton Beach Babes
I loved Brighton. Like, "I want to go back there on vacation" loved it. It might just have been because of the fabulous company I was blessed with. I'm not going to say anything more. Just enjoy these pictures:
We had tons of fun and laughs and terrible pictures that I'm not sharing. (Sorry.) Our hotel that you see above was built in 1559, and it was a REALLY nice place. Our group was split between two hotels, and we definitely got the better end of the deal. The fictional Lydia Bennett might have stayed in our hotel! (#nerdalert)
The pier was very Sovereign Light Café. Let me just leave that here for you…
Brighton was everything I wanted it to be. It was a fabulous last outing in England.
My Canterbury Tales
I'm here! I promise! Sorry I haven't been posting. This week has been ridiculous. We had a day trip Monday, an overnight trip Wednesday-Thursday, and multiple homework assignments due before today. I've made it though! We did have a lot of fun this week.
Monday, we visited Dover and Canterbury. We explored Dover Castle before checking out the white cliffs. I didn't know very much about Dover Castle before going there, so it was interesting to learn more. It also has a really neat WWI and WWII history, so you should check that out if you're curious. Of course, the white cliffs were beautiful.
We also had a bit of fun.
I think I'm ready for power. I rock that throne. (I even have enemies!) I don't want to have power for power's sake. That doesn't make any sense. But I think I could handle responsibility. I felt that way walking through the Houses of Parliament too. I was strutting down the stairs in the man hall and it hit me: "I could totally do this." I just have some big dreams, and I think I could make a difference in this crazy world.
ANYWAY. That got a little heavier than I was anticipating. We left Dover and made our way to Canterbury. It was a trek made by pilgrims throughout history. I was able to walk (read: ride a coach) in their footsteps. We stopped at St. Augustine's Abbey (or what is left of it). It's not St. Augustine of Hippo, mind you. This is another St. Augustine. Of Canterbury. Yup. I don't know everything about Anglican saints. I'll have to look it up.
We might have had just a little bit too much fun in the ruins of a crypt. You know. Once you start living in history, it ceases being something to stare at and becomes part of your present. When I see historical sights here (so like, hundreds of years old), I just want to explore. No more staying on the sidewalk. It's awesome that you're able to interact with the sights here. They want you to explore! I think nothing honors the past more than it becoming part of someone's life today.
Then we went to the cathedral. I visited Canterbury Cathedral. (!!) I'm still freaking out a little bit. There was such a strong and peaceful spirit inside. It was so interesting. I loved it. Talk about the human experience.
"Yet do not miss the moral, my good men.
For Saint Paul says that all that's written well
Is written down some useful truth to tell.
Then take the wheat and let the chaff lie still."
― Geoffrey Chaucer, The Canterbury Tales
Portobello Rd.
Saturday, we woke up earlier than usual (for a Saturday). We headed over to Portobello Road market. We were able to haggle the prices down on some really fun stuff. I finally got a claddagh ring! (I've only wanted one for years.) It's just a fun place. Here's some fun snapshots of the morning.
Platform 9 and 3/4
I left for Hogwarts today. I had my books, robes, Ravenclaw garb, owl, wand, and all. I headed over to King's Cross station and found platform 9 and 3/4. (It's important to take it at a bit of a run.)
I also met Hermione Granger! It was really cool to see her there…
(She was very excited to be recognized for who she is — a powerful, capable girl!)
Three of my best friends and I were leaving together. We are all in different houses, so we people think we're super cute. Well, what can I say?
Inter-house friendships are so fun! It keeps life interesting. Intra-house friendships are great too. Hogwarts is just the best.
In other news, I have one more weekend here in London. I cannot believe how fast time has gone by. This has been a magical experience!
Just a Song (or Two)
This past week, some of us went to BBC Proms. We went to an evening of Mozart, Jonathan Dove, and company. The music was incredible, and it was at Royal Albert Hall, which was a dream.
However, the people around us were some of the strangest people I have ever seen in my life. For example, there was a sharply dressed man with a Victorian mustache and a teddy bear. This is a grown man with a teddy bear at RAH. Not only did he bring it, it participated in conversation, and he put it up between the bars so it could see. It was very interesting. That is just one of the many people who were at the prom. It was an experience!
The Isle of Wight
What a lovely day we had. I understand why the Beatles were interested in a summer cottage there (if it's not too dear, of course). We woke up early and rode our coach to Portsmouth. Once there, we rode onto a ferry and got off the coach to enjoy the sunshine. We have had very un-English weather for our trip, but it was perfect for a ferry ride.
Once we docked, we boarded the coach again. We rolled off and headed to Carisbrooke Castle. Carisbrooke is where Charles I was held prisoner before his execution. It's too bad that it has such a sad history — it's beautiful!
After Carisbrooke, we made our way over to Osbourne House. It was the vacation home of one of my favorite couples and their family. Queen Victoria and Prince Albert would take their family to Osbourne to be able to raise their children more normally. However, there is nothing normal about this house. It's GORGEOUS.
Albert even had a miniature house, garden, and fort built for the children to learn and play in. It was darling.
They also had a private beach. That was beautiful as well, but my camera focused on what's important.
No really. It was worth it. Strawberry and chocolate ice cream, meringue, whipped cream, and strawberry sauce. Incredible.
We then had a relaxing ferry trip back to Portsmouth and a long drive back to London. It was a blast.
Time and Space
I've been in London for a while, so I made a stop in the Western Hemisphere. Then I hopped back over to the Eastern, and I went back again. Then I was suspended in space. All in a matter of seconds. It was awesome.
That's what it looks like to be suspended in space. Well, partially suspended. I was about 56º too far north to be completely in space. What is this gibberish? THE PRIME MERIDIAN. It's a line that wraps all the way around the globe, up and down. It established longitude, which allowed sailors to determine how far east or west they were. It's pretty sweet, actually. I love geography. I love learning about the world, how it works, and how that impacts us in our cultures, interactions, and beliefs. So visiting the city of Greenwich was a dream come true for me.
In addition to the Royal Observatory, it's a really cool place. There's a Naval College that was the school for many British heroes. There are works by Inigo Jones and Christopher Wren. It should be on your "To-Visit" list.

Document Storage
The need for document storage has been around ever since the need to prove what you did in the past has been required. Luckily today business no longer are limited to writing on papyrus and physically storing the roles for future reference.
Today there are many different paths an organization can chose for their document storage as part of the project management tools they use. There are many that still rely on the old hard copies. This still requires a great deal of physical space and time to organize them. While it can be made to be efficient, it is still not the best manner in which your organization can chose to have their data available to them.
The modern way for document storage is now in the digital format. For the organizations that are worried about this data become lost or irretrievable, there are several solutions. The first solutions included the use of removable disks then CD. Both of these have a limited shelf life and are not a correct way of storing data for the long term.
The best place to document storage vessel is on a server. This allows for your personnel to instantly retrieve the data when they need to access it. It is also safe and secure if your server has the correct security protocols installed in it. Many of the larger organizations have the necessary server space to accomplish this task. For those that have limited space on their servers, there is an alternative.
The alternative digital document storage is with the online servers that are open for business today. Just like the larger corporations, these online servers are managed by people that know how valuable your data is. It has to be kept safe and secure from intrusion by any unauthorized personnel. It also has to be safe from becoming lost. This is why these online servers are backed up on a daily basis just as the large corporation's servers are. This allows for a minimum amount of loss if there is a problem with the servers or if the data become corrupted.
The online document storage is available to anyone in the world that has a need for this type of service. Know the security protocols that are used to protect the data before you make any commitment of this type.

Miss Devin at Lexington
Meet Miss Devin at Lexington Branch!
"I have many favorite children's authors, but if I had to pick just one it would have to be David Shannon. His stories are funny and his illustrations are amazing. In the No, David series you can actually feel David's emotions through his many facial expressions. Duck on a Bike was a favorite for both of my children, and I actually enjoyed reading it over and over and over. I have perfected the voice for each animal, and it has become one of my favorites to read aloud."
"Art has always been my favorite subject. It is a wonderful way to express yourself, and there is always something new to discover when you are creating. It also helped me prepare for all the crafts, displays and bulletin boards that I would create here at the library."
Miss Devin would like to recommend these juvenile audiobooks!

Being obnoxious and annoying = Being on topic?
Wow! I've seen and heard the DeVore Orangutans at the past 2 Rocky Mountain shows and you are crazy if you think they are cheap. The finish is just stunning, easily among the best at the show at any price and the wood on the fronts is amazing. Sonically the DeVore room was definitely in the top three at the show both years, with all-around system prices that were much lower than the other top rooms.
John Atkinson even agrees with the manufacturers comments, and from what I heard at the show with a single 300B amp, I believe it too. The sound was huge, with amazing bass driven by 6 watts. Actually JA comments on the great bass with the same system here:
$12,000 for that? I have a bridge to sell too...
A lot of interesting discussion here. The summary of the review would seem to be that this is a somewhat flawed yet surprisingly compelling loudspeaker. I read that it sounds great in spite of some shortcomings.
To those who are complaining about the price and suggesting their cost to build a similar speaker would be about 25% as much: ok. So don't buy this one and do build your own. This attitude shows a lack of business knowledge. I have no doubt somebody could build a similar speaker for less if you just account for the parts. How long did it take to get the knowledge? Where to do you do the work?
A real business needs to pay rent and utilities. And likely pay employees. And that's a retail price, which has to allow for a dealer to make some money. Saying you could make it for 25% of the retail cost is about right for a product that goes through a sales channel (rather than direct). But it's irrelevant - a company can charge whatever it wants for their products. The market decides the value.
I don't work in the industry and don't have formal training in electronics or acoustics. However I am an engineer and I like to see data. I'm also generally critical of Stereophile and other audio publications for praising the differences in equipment that can really make no significant difference (cables in general, power cables in particular). These difference all tend to disappear under measurement or controlled listening test. So what's the point?
I'm critical and skeptical of most audio equipment reviews. Speaker reviews are about the only thing I read. This review has the data, and nobody seems to be challenging it. I think it's fair to say the measurements are good enough to give an idea of how the speakers performs.
To those who are critical of the design, why don't you to listen to the speakers. Rather than sitting back and speculating about how terrible it must sound, maybe (just maybe) you'll have to ask yourself how it can sound as good as it does with that design. Or maybe your suspicions will be confirmed.
I'm impressed with how Stereophile has responded to and managed this discussion. For that you have earned an returning subscription. I'm not in the market for new speakers, but would go listen if there was a dealer near me.

text: Girl power! Eddie Murphy better be hiding his money in a mattress because his baby mamas are after him. Perez Hilton is reporting that Ed's ex-wife, Nicole, and Ed's former girlfriend Melanie Brown met for a very public lunch at the Ivy on Thursday. Nicole brought her brood of children, while Mel toted little baby Angel to meet her half sibs. The ladies reportedly "bonded over food and babies," and, no doubt, what an ass their ex is. Melanie filed a "screw you" paternity suit against Ed, who has allegedly refused to even acknowledge his new daughter. The Spice Girl held a press conference earlier in the week, sending a very strong message to the newly-engaged Eddie, that she means business. Two words to Eddie's next victim, Tracey Edmonds -- GET OUT -- or the next ladies lunch will be at a table for three.
