Courtesy Oregon State UniversityCrystal balls used by the University of Maryland entomologists this year were right on the mark when they predicted a heavy brown marmorated stink bug population.
Mike Raupp, an entomology professor, and colleagues collected more than 4,000 bugs off the side of a building in just 20 minutes.
"This was the week I think the floodgates opened," Raupp said in a news release. "We knew they were coming."
But not everybody has been inundated by the smelly pests.
Some places may be flooded with stink bugs while people 8 miles away see very few.
Fall also is the time of year where the stink bugs release an aggregation pheromone that attracts other stink bugs. Masses of them can be seen congregating on sides of buildings and other upright structures, much to the chagrin of homeowners.
The bugs also will try to move inside homes for overwintering.
Raupp warns against squishing them because they'll emit a cilantro-like odor. Instead, he recommends using a vacuum to suck them up, then sticking them in a bucket of soapy water or plastic bag and freezing them before tossing them into a compost pile.
"I kind of recycle these bugs once I off them," Raupp said in the release.
Other tips include caulking around windows, covering air conditioners and installing window-grade screens on the inside of attic and other vents.
For more information on how to keep stink bugs out of homes, view this light-hearted video titled, "Think before you Stink," from the Univeristy of Maryland.

No longer content to tour other cities, the show saw the rock and rollers touring other galaxies. In lieu of the family's trademark psychedelic touring bus, their mode of transportation in outer space was (naturally) a psychedelic touring spaceship. It didn't take long for the singing clan to meet up with a pair of good-humored teenaged aliens, Veenie (from Venus) and Marion (from Mars), who provided much of the show's comic relief. Most of the hilarious plotlines revolved around science-fiction type gags, like Danny turning himself invisible or Keith shrinking in size.
The concept for The Partridge Family: 2200 A.D. began when ABC launched another Scooby Doo-inspired series entitled Goober and the Ghost Chasers. In that show, members of the Partridge Family would appear as guest stars to help Goober, the crime-sniffing hound. It was successful enough that ABC and Hanna-Barbera decided to give the musical family their own show one year later. In 1977, Goober and the Partridges were reunited in the composite series Fred Flintstone and Friends.
"The Partridge Family in Outer Space" was the working title for this series, it was also use as an alternative title when it aired as part of Fred Flintstone and Friends.
Only 16 episodes of this series were produced.
The original idea was to make this as an updated version of another Hanna-Barbera cartoon, The Jetsons, with Elroy as a teenager and his sister, Judy, as a full-grown woman who finally has a job (a la The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show). This explains the whole space theme of the series. ABC, however rejected the idea, but hoped to make an animated adaptation of The Patridge Family, and use the rejected concept as part of that series.
Story writer Rance Howard is the father of actor/director Ron Howard (The Andy Griffith Show, Happy Days).
Several character roles were voiced by new people:
- David Cassidy's role of Keith Partridge was performed by Chuck McLennan (spelling disputed).
- Shirley Jones' role of Shirley Partridge was handed over to Joan Gerber; and also, the first name of said character is changed to Connie. Jones is the stepmother of David Cassidy (David's father Jack Cassidy, who in 1976 had sadly passed away at his home when it caught fire, married Shirley a few years after a divorce from Evelyn Ward, the biological mother of David).
- Susan Dey had initially reprised her role as Laurie, but handed it over to Sherry Alberoni on the 3rd episode.
- Despite Dave Madden's name being shown in the credits, his character Reuben Kincaid was actually performed for the cartoon by John Stephenson.
- Danny Bonaduce, Suzanne Crough and Brian Forster had retained their roles in the transition from live-action to animation (Danny, Tracy and Chris respectively).
The Partridge Family characters had all previously appeared in animated form on Hanna-Barbera's 1973 series, Goober and the Ghost Chasers. The 1973-74 season was the last for the original Partridge Family TV series, by then having moved from Friday to Saturday night.
Two episodes of this cartoon series are available as bonus features within the Partridge Family season 1 DVD set. Both have the Sony Pictures Television logo following the H-B logo. Thus, which leads me to ask you all: has this cartoon series, along with 1973's Jeannie, ever been reran in the original half-hour format in the 1980s and '90s? These two shows had previously been reran, along with H-B's own trademarked works The Pebbles and Bamm-Bamm Show/The Flintstone Comedy Hour, Yogi's Gang and Goober and the Ghost Chasers, as part of the short-lived 1977-78 season syndicated package Fred Flintstone and Friends.
Due to ties with The Partridge Family, this is one of a few Hanna-Barbera produced series that was distributed outright by Columbia Pictures; Jeannie was another.

Know Your Lore: Pandaria's mark on Warcraft lore
A little over two years ago, Mists of Pandaria was officially announced as the next expansion at BlizzCon to the puzzlement of many players. The idea of an expansion built around the pandaren race was a polarizing one -- some people loved the idea, and some were less than enthused. Although the pandaren were included in game lore as early as Warcraft III, there were those that scoffed at the idea of an expansion built around a race of giant talking bears, saying that they had no place in Warcraft at all. A year later, Mists was officially launched, and a little over a year after that, the events of Mists of Pandaria are wrapping up in a suitably dramatic conclusion.
And to the delight of many, myself included, this expansion has been anything but lighthearted and silly. Mists of Pandaria wasn't just a random expansion about giant talking bears, it was a revolution in the way that story and gameplay intertwine. While it may have had its faltering moments -- the inclusion of enough daily quests to make players dizzy among them -- the story took a life of its own, and the tale it told has definitely left its mark on future lore to come. Let's be clear, here: For a continent left cloaked in Mists for thousands of years, Pandaria has managed to work its way into the face of Warcraft lore in a manner that won't be forgotten, and has given us enough material to spur the story of the game for quite some time.

Life is too short to eat fat-free cheese
Monday, August 20, 2007It's time to call it quits
I've been blogging for over 2.5 years and as you probably have noticed, I really haven't done much in the last 2-3 months. It's about time that I give this up as the drive just isn't there anymore. I covered the last 2 Packer seasons, drafts, etc and I watched all the games thinking in my head "How can I best blog this?". It has become tiring. Now I am simply going to enjoy the games and still critique them, but I think I would be better served for a while just commenting on other Packer sites and blogs, as that is what we all crave, someone to comment on what we do.
This blog was originally started as a writing experiment and turned into a primarily WI sports (mostly Packer) site with some snippets of my life thrown in. I've met a lot of great people while doing this and found sites I never would have. So, where should you go for great Packer info? Brats and Beer has always been a favorite, he's a good writer and not afraid to call BS when he sees it. Mr. Carriveau does a fantastic job over at the Railbird Central. He's made leaps and bounds in his blog over the last 1.5 years. Proud to say I was there in the beginning for him. The gang over at The Frozen Tundra has carried the torch very well that I started 2 yrs ago there (where I had some of my best writings). Check out SBNations Acme Packing Company. It's a new guy who's just started about 2-3 months ago but he's doing a nice job. Someday, I hope to write again when the muse strikes and hopefully one of these fine sites would allow me to join their team as my days of flying solo are at an end. It's been a great run of over 450 posts and 75,000 visitors. I thank all of you for making this site so much fun for so long. Take care and God bless.
Can't blame you one bit for wanting to give it up CC. In fact, I'm jealous. You've had a good run so enjoy your well deserved retirement!
Your crowning achievement? Larry Bird rescuing Polly Pockets. No question about it.
I would sometimes come to this site to taunt and most of the times I didn't have the heart. I doubt I'll be checking out other Packer sites but don't neglect to check out the Brett Favre interception watch on Lost Forest After Dark. I'm convinced Brett will have to record after the 3rd game
Sorry to see you go, as you may have seen my blog is gon, too...someone else stole the site address.
Blogging just got too consuming to me as far as time went.
Geez. We are all going to miss you. I hear Brett is considering the same move next season...
Can't you see it now? Brett: After the Oracle stopped posting, well, the game really lost its allure. I didn't have anything more to play for. So, I guess it's time to move to Mississippi, ride around on the old lawn tractor full time and wait for the induction ceremony. Thanks for the memories guys.
Sorry to see you go, but thanks for the site recommendations. Hope to see you around there in the comments...
Sorry to see you go, CC. Hopefully you'll keep commenting over at the Greet Machine. Have a good one!
Curt in Grand Forks
This comment is actually way late, but I'm a Wisconsin sports blogger and I had heard an awful lot about this blog and never had a chance to visit it. From the looks of it you did very good work. Good luck with the rest of life.

Why Miguel Cabrera is an a-hole
Off-Base October 5th, 2009
Last week I did a playoff preview where I went through each team individually and tried to pick a favorite (and it looks like I'll be an honorary Coors Field Drunk for the rest of this month). I went through each of the playoff teams and decided that the Tigers were going to win the division. The Twins had something like a 5% chance of coming back and I didn't think they would do it. Here's what I said.
(Skipping the Twins. They aren't coming back.)
That's it. I didn't even feel the need to justify it and now they are in a one-game playoff for the AL Central title to be played tomorrow.
(Quick tangent on this: Each year the MLB holds a series of coinflips in the event of tiebreakers to decide the home team. The Twins won this coinflip. (As lar pointed out in the comments this has been changed, but the overall point still stands.) Now, why wouldn't the MLB look at the schedule and say "You know, we want these tiebreakers to take place on Monday. We don't want either team gaining an advantage and we want the playoffs to start on Tuesday. Even though you won the toss, if you can't have that game on Monday, we're going to have that game on Monday in Detroit. Sorry." How hard would that be? The playoffs take forever as it is, why add a day because Brett Favre unretired?)
So, the Tigers play the Twins in a four game series and they split it when everyone says the Twins need to win 3 of 4 to have a chance. Then they sweep the Royals while the Twins fall apart against the White Sox. WHY? Why does this happen? I don't really care about either team at all, but I don't like to be wrong. Who likes to be wrong? Who is responsible for me to possibly be wrong? Miguel Cabrera, that's who. Read the rest of this entry »

Shop the Trend: Leopard Print
Animal prints are currently considered neutrals, more or less—and we were excited to see these bold patterns all over the Fall 2013 runways last weekend. On Sunday alone, we spotted (pun intended) leopard looks we loved at no fewer than three different shows.
At DKNY, wildcat prints were done in a multitude of colorways—classic black-and-tan, cherry red and even pink—and appeared on oversized pullovers, cocoon coats, leggings and handbags. Thakoon, meanwhile, showed cross-front furs and cropped jackets in the playful pattern. And at Diane von Furstenberg, leopard print got the Studio 54 treatment, shown in the form of bow-tied blouses, tapered trousers and texture-blocked dresses.
Whether you prefer your leopard in a classic or colorful palette, splashed on fur or silk, there's no question the glamorous print's going to be huge next fall. Click through to shop some purr-fect pieces you should stock up on now to stay ahead of the trend.
Pictured, from left: Animal prints on the Fall 2013 runway at DKNY (WWD/Robert Mitra), Thakoon (WWD/Thomas Iannaccone) and Diane von Furstenberg (WWD/George Chinsee).

Further accentuating the fact that I have been pretty steadfast in my position that New York is not quite open for business, the Tax Foundation has released their 2013 Business Tax Climate Index, and New York ranks 50th. 50th!
Consider this line from the release, "Despite moderate corporate taxes, New York scores at the bottom this year by having the worst individual income tax, the sixth-worst unemployment insurance taxes, and the sixth-worst property taxes."
Exactly. NFIB/NY has been consistently saying that some pieces were in place but the Governor and legislature needed to go further. That the tax cap needs mandate relief (immediate mandate relief) and unemployment insurance needs reforming. And let me just state, that the laundry list of things that need to get done to create an organic economic climate in New York is lengthy.
I hope lawmakers and the Governor take this new index seriously. I know I and NFIB members do.

Oral History Program Jane S. Morrin Interviewed by Marci Farr 3 October 2008 Oral History Program Weber State University Stewart Library Ogden, Utah Jane S. Morrin Interviewed by Marci Farr 3 October 2008 Copyright © 2009 by Weber State University, Stewart Library Mission Statement The Oral History Program of the Stewart Library was created to preserve the institutional history of Weber State University and the Davis, Ogden and Weber County communities. By conducting carefully researched, recorded, and transcribed interviews, the Oral History Program creates archival oral histories intended for the widest possible use. Interviews are conducted with the goal of eliciting from each participant a full and accurate account of events. The interviews are transcribed, edited for accuracy and clarity, and reviewed by the interviewees (as available), who are encouraged to augment or correct their spoken words. The reviewed and corrected transcripts are indexed, printed, and bound with photographs and illustrative materials as available. Archival copies are placed in Special Collections. The Stewart Library also houses the original recording so researchers can gain a sense of the interviewee's voice and intonations. Project Description The Dee School of Nursing was founded in 1910 to provide training for nurses who would staff the new Dee Memorial Hospital. The first class of eight nurses graduated from the school in 1913 and the school continued to operate until 1955, with a total of more than 700 graduates. A new nursing school and home located just east of the hospital was completed in 1917 and all nursing students were required to live in the home during their training. This oral history project was created to capture the memories of the school's alumni before their stories disappear in the same way the Dee Hospital has disappeared. The oral interviews focus on how the women became involved with the school, their experiences going through training, and how they used the training. ____________________________________ Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. ____________________________________ Rights Management Special Collections All literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are reserved to the Stewart Library of Weber State University. No part of the manuscript may be published without the written permission of the University Librarian. Requests for permission to publish should be addressed to the Administration Office, Stewart Library, Weber State University, Ogden, Utah, 84408.

Morrin Application Photo 1937 Graduation Photo Class of 1941 Jane S. Morrin August 1, 2009 1 Abstract: This is an oral history interview with Jane S. Morrin. It was conducted October 3, 2008 and concerns her recollections and experiences with the Dee School of Nursing. The interviewer is Marci Farr. MF: This is Marci Farr. We are interviewing Jane Morrin on the phone. She graduated from the Dee School of Nursing in 1941. It is October 3, 2008. Hi Jane, how are you today? JM: Good. MF: We are just going to start off with just a few questions about your early life, where you grew up, your family, and where you went to school. JM: I was born here in Ogden. I attended the city schools, graduated from Ogden High in 1938. I came from a family of five children. MF: What made you decide that you wanted to become a nurse? JM: It was something that I wanted from the time I was a very young child when I first even knew what I nurse was. I had wanted to do that all my life. MF: Why did you decide the Dee School of Nursing? JM: it was close to home and it was the only one I really knew anything about. MF: It was convenient and close. What were some of your impressions when you first got to the school, when you started your training? JM: I was just thrilled about everything because this was something I had always wanted. MF: Had you been away from home before? Was this your first time? JM: It was my first time, yes. You entered as soon as you graduated from high school. 2 MF: What were some of your favorite classes? JM: We took anatomy, physiology, biology, chemistry, and ethics classes, and medical…the study of medicine that you would give to a patient…and OB and surgery, all those things that are necessary to develop a nurse. MF: Did you have some classes down on Weber campus, the old Weber campus correct? JM: Yes, down on Jefferson between 24th and 25th. MF: Did you walk down every day? JM: Not every day but, you know, we had quite a few classes down there. Just our first year though. After our first year classes were all on campus, on the nurses school campus. MF: Who were some of your instructors? JM: Well some of them were staff instructors that did nothing but teach and some of them were doctors. MF: When you first arrived at the nursing home you were assigned a roommate, correct? JM: Yes. MF: Do you remember who your roommate was? JM: Yes, her name was Alice Ray. MF: There you were two to a room, correct? JM: Correct. MF: And you had to stay in the nurse's home. JM: Yes. 3 MF: And live there. What were some of the rules you had to follow? JM: There were a lot of rules really. We had room inspections, once a week they checked to see if our beds were made properly and everything was picked up and neat. And then every night our lights had to be out at ten o'clock. MF: You did have a curfew? JM: Yes. MF: Tell us about your housemother. JM: Her name was Mrs. Woods. MF: So how was she? JM: She was strict but she was fair. MF: So you got along well with her? JM: Yes. MF: You had all of your meals at the nurse home too, right? JM: We had to go over to the hospital for our meals. MF: Oh okay you had it there. Tell us about a typical day at the hospital when you started your shift work. JM: There are a lot of variables there. Because it would depend on what unit you were working in and what time of day, whether you were on a morning shift, if you were on a morning shift you did bed baths and treatments and that sort of thing whereas in the afternoon, the later day you got patients ready for bed and it just depended on where you were and at what time. MF: What was your floor that you preferred the most while you were working? JM: I liked pediatrics. 4 MF: What did you do if you had a night off, if you were not working? JM: Well since my family lived in Ogden I could go home. We could date. If it was a weeknight we still had to be in at ten o'clock but if it was a Saturday night we could be out until midnight. MF: What about being married during that time? Could you be married and be part of the nursing program? JM: Oh no. MF: Could you be engaged? JM: Yes, I was engaged; the last few months that I was there. MF: Do you remember any traditions that were associated with the Dee Hospital? JM: No not really. MF: Were you required to attend church if you had a Sunday off? JM: No, it was our choice. MF: Tell us about your capping and pinning ceremony, where they took place. JM: They took place in the auditorium down at the old Weber College. MF: How long after you got into the program did that take place? JM: Well the capping…it seems to me like it was six months but I am not sure. We did not get it right off the bat. MF: Is that when you received your cap and your first stripe? Is that correct? JM: Yes. MF: That would tell what level you were at. JM: Yes and every year you got another stripe so when you were a senior you had the three stripes. 5 MF: Do you remember any of the doctors, any doctors that stick out in your mind? JM: Yes there was Doctor Draper, and Doctor Ward, and Doctor Dumke, and Doctor Barker. MF: So did you prefer any of them over another. JM: Yes you always had the ones you tried to avoid and the ones that you really liked. MF: When was graduation? JM: It was in September of 1941. MF: Now this was also during the war. Can you tell us a little bit about during the war how that affected the nursing? JM: Well I can remember the war, you know, the Japanese attacked Pearl Harbor. It was on a Sunday. And I had that day off. I went to work on Monday and of course it was pure chaos. We had a lot of, well not a lot but several, Japanese nurses that were staff members. There were patients there that absolutely refused to let those girls into their rooms, yet they were wonderful people. It was a hard, hard time. MF: I forgot to ask you this, where your graduation was held? Was it also at Weber? JM: Yes, at the auditorium at Weber. MF: While you were in training did you get any kind of stipend at all? JM: Yes we got five dollars a month; just a little spending money. MF: After you graduated did you stay at the Dee Hospital? What did you do after you graduated? 6 JM: Yes I stayed there but I did not work too long because I got married as soon as I graduated and a year and a half later I started my family. In those days if you were pregnant and were starting to show you had to quit right then. Now they can work right up until the baby. MF: Did you continue with nursing after you had your children or you did you retire? JM: No. My husband made a good living and I did not have to work. MF: Okay. JM: I did do volunteer work. After my children got a little older I was a volunteer nurse for the Red Cross. I helped with their blood program. MF: Did you know any of the members of the Dee family? JM: Well in my later life I knew them but at that time I did not know. MF: Who did you know later on? JM: Tommy Dee. MF: Is there anything that you want to share with us? Any thoughts you have had while we have been talking? Anything else that you have thought of that you would like to tell us about while you were in training? JM: It just absolutely amazes me how nursing has changed. MF: It has changed hasn't it? JM: Yes. MF: How do you think it has changed? JM: It has all become technical. You know, all the computers and stuff. I do not even know how to work a computer. At this age in my life I am not going to, why would I? 7 MF: Do you think that nurses nowadays are more educated where you guys were more trained as like hands on? Do you think? JM: We really did more hands on nursing, very definitely. Now it is just they come in and check a machine and, you know, I think it is less personal. MF: It is. I think so. I think you are absolutely right. What was one of your greatest challenges when you were going through the nurses program? JM: Well, one of the hardest things for me was the way we had to change shifts. You know, trying to get enough sleep was part of it because one week we would work days. The next week we would work the swing shift, they did not call it that then and then sometimes we would work a split shift like we would work from seven to eleven at night, sleep for four hours and go back to work at three in the morning and work till seven. MF: That would probably be very tough. JM: I think that was my hardest thing was trying to get the sleep. MF: Do you think that your training served you well? JM: It was wonderful because I had six children and we had some health problems with some of the children and that just helped me tremendously with taking care of my children. Then as I got older I was always taking care of my parents or my in-laws, I was a caregiver all my life. I have really fond memories and the people in my class were just wonderful gals. There were twenty-five of us that started and only sixteen of us graduated. Those sixteen, we just over the years we really kept… MF: … in contact. 8 JM: And then the nursing school has reunions. I have not been able to go to the last two that they have had but they were always fun to go to. MF: I am glad that you had a great experience. And we appreciate you sharing your memories with us. We appreciate your time Jane and we hope you have a great day. We appreciate you letting us visit with you. JM: Thank you.

Hadiya Pendleton appeared in 2008 anti-gang video

Updated: February 1, 2013 1:53AM
The King College Prep student shot to death this week less than a mile from President Barack Obama's Kenwood home appeared in an online video four years ago to warn kids about the dangers of gangs.
It opens with the words, "Hi, my name is Hadiya."
"This commercial is informational for you and your future children," said 15-year-old Hadiya Pendleton.
She paused to let another student introduce herself, then Hadiya went on to say, "So many children out there are in gangs."
"And it is your job as students to say 'no' to gangs and 'yes' to a great future," she said.
Pendleton, who performed as a majorette at Obama's inauguration celebrations, has quickly become a national symbol of Chicago's gun violence.
Ald. Pat Dowell (3rd), whose South Side ward is home to the Pendleton family, said it's heartbreaking that Hadiya lost her life to the very gang violence she condemned in the November 2008 video.
"Maybe her message holds more sway now, unfortunately, [now] that this incident had to bring that to the forefront," Dowell said.
She added, "When I went to her house and watched her friends and her family — I mean, this is a decent and honest and good family. Mother and father, intact home. Typical teenagers. It's heartbreaking that this tragic incident happened to her."
The video was posted by the Digital Youth Network. The group issued a statement Thursday that described the teen as a "student, a learner and a creative voice."
"Hadiya and her peers produced this PSA as a part of a project that sought to counter violence through youth produced media," it said. "The project exemplifies the critical importance of empowering our youth to find and share their voice. We are inspired by the passion Hadiya and the youth of Chicago have shown for sculpting a better future for themselves and others and will continue to support these efforts in any way we can."
Shatira Wilks, Hadiya's cousin, said the video was made when her cousin was a sixth-grader at Carter G. Woodson School. Wilks said she first saw the video Wednesday.
"Hadiya has always been a person against violence," Wilks said. "She didn't even like the idea of people fighting."
She said the death of her cousin — "a walking angel" — might have been "a mandatory request from God."
"Maybe it was her time to be with him," Wilks said.
A gunman fired into a group of Hadiya's friends as they sought shelter during a rainstorm Tuesday in a park on the 4500 block of South Oakenwald in the North Kenwood neighborhood. A 16-year-old boy was shot in the leg and a teenage girl had a graze wound in her ankle.
Hadiya was shot in the back and died. Police Supt. Garry McCarthy said neither Hadiya nor the friends she was with when she was shot were gang members.
McCarthy offered no specific updates on the murder investigation at a news conference with Mayor Rahm Emanuel called Thursday to announce the reassignment of 200 police officers from desk jobs to street duty,
But, McCarthy said the no-snitch policy that has impeded so many police investigations is apparently not impacting the search for Hadiya's killer.
"Father [Michael] Pfleger and a number of us had a community meeting where the community demanded that the community help solve this crime. Well, they're stepping up to the plate. We're getting a lot of calls," he said.
"We have to run down every single one of those tips now and see which one is going to prove fruitful for us. There's nothing to report at this time."
The outrage over Hadiya's death has reached all the way to the White House, and a reward totaling $11,000 is being offered to anyone with information leading to the killer.
Police have encouraged anyone with information on the shooting to call (312) 747-8383.
Pfleger, of St. Sabina Church, put $5,000 toward the reward and called it "a bounty out on the head of the killer, before you kill somebody else."

Founder/CEO, Centro LLC
Ohio native Shawn Riegsecker was 20-something when he launched Centro in Chicago in 2001 to provide digital media services to ad agencies so they could buy and execute digital campaigns more efficiently. "The Internet has created a ton of fragmentation in the market," he explains. "Now people consume media in 100 more places than they did 15 years ago, before the web. So creating efficiencies is a lot more important than it ever has been. And Centro's business model is incredibly needed."
Now, at age 40, Mr. Riegsecker is celebrating impressive company growth, with close to 450 employees in 32 cities. "The main difference between then and now is I have a few more gray hairs and a lot more wrinkles," he jokes. And even though Centro conducts business across the country, there's plenty of room for growth. "Well, it's a very big planet," he says with a smile.
On his company's tremendous amount of success, Mr. Riegsecker explains, "The biggest thing is building relationships. It's about having an incredible sales force who goes over the top, above and beyond, to service the clients. And also through a heavy amount of marketing, really getting people to understand there's a better future if they choose to form a relationship with our services and software."
Centro was also named 'best place to work' by Crain's Chicago Business for the last three years. "Growing a company isn't easy," he explains. "Running it through a recession, raising capital…every step along the way you can screw something up." One factor that landed Centro on top of the list are the generous benefits: health, dental and life insurance, bonus plan, paid sabbatical after four years of employment, 10 personal days a year, 50 percent matching up to 8 percent of salary for a 401(k), pretax commuter plan, complimentary yoga and Sittercity membership. "What's most important is the employees," he says, "and the idea that Centro is a place where people are really happy, feel fulfilled and secure and can have a lot of fun. Life's too short."
Women are an integral part of Centro's success, with 3 of 10 senior executives being female. "I'd prefer to have more women on the senior team," he shares, "but it's difficult because there aren't a lot of women in technology. And that doesn't make sense to me. It's a detriment to the industry. Men are fantastic, but women provide great skill sets men don't have."
And one surprising characteristic of Mr. Riegsecker is the fact that while he's a polished extroverted man with others, he's actually quite the introvert. "I spend a lot of time alone…still a bachelor," he says. "Ninety percent of my vacation time consists of me going somewhere for a week to read or meditate. That's the one thing everyone is always shocked to hear." Hmmm, still eligible?

MORRISSEY: Blackhawks are a team in control of their own destiny
BY RICK MORRISSEY email@example.com March 6, 2013 11:14PM
Hawks winger Andrew Shaw celebrates his goal giving the Blackhawks a 1-0 lead in the first period of the Chicago Blackhawks-Colorado Avalanche NHL game Wednesday March 6, 2013 at the United Center. | Tom Cruze~Sun-Times
Updated: April 8, 2013 7:56AM
The Blackhawks are a force of nature, which is why there are rescue dogs pawing at snow looking for the Avalanche, a team that had big ideas for the longest time Wednesday night.
This time it was a wild, messy 3-2 victory, and the victim was Colorado, but, really, it could have been anybody, mostly because it has been everybody so far.
The Hawks are going to lose a game in regulation this season. I feel confident saying that. I think.
I mean, I suppose a loss could happen. In theory.
The number of consecutive games with at least a point this season is at 24. The winning streak is at 11. The overall record is 21-0-3.
This is hockey insanity. You do realize that, don't you? And it's crazy fun.
The Hawks did not play well for stretches Wednesday night. Let's be clear about that. The streak was in danger of dying of sluggishness at the United Center, with sloppiness and fatigue as contributing factors. But Jonathan Toews, the captain, scored a short-handed goal on an early third-period rush to tie the game at 2.
And then Daniel Carcillo scored the game winner with 49.3 seconds left off a scramble at the net, in keeping with the seasonlong theme of everybody taking a turn in the spotlight. Carcillo, the guy with no goals in eight previous games this season?
Of course.
"You can't rely on two, three, four guys every night to score,'' Carcillo said. "Your back end has to score, and your goalies have to play great. Guys have to step up. That's how you win a lot of games.''
A TV guy wondered out loud whether the Hawks were feeling the pressure of their streak. Pressure? Dude, this is all fun and games. You can see it in the way they play. They get down a goal, as they did against Colorado, and they don't care. They aren't playing with desperation.
They're playing with the certainty that they're going to win, even when they're not playing particularly well.
"A lot of people might think that we're pulling that game out of you-know-where, but really we're working for it,'' Toews said. "There's no special equation, there's no magic going on. It's just work ethic.''
The Hawks have what a lot of teams don't have in early March: pure adrenaline, brought on by a streak that is burying opponents. If it's this much fun to watch, imagine how much fun it is to be playing for the Hawks.
So pressure? We all should be so lucky.
And speaking of luck, hockey is the sport with more of it in its DNA than the most others. The puck does indeed bounce strange ways. It hits off skates and pads and goalposts. And that's just it: What's luck got to do with the Hawks' streak? Not a whole lot.
They have four good to excellent lines. What that means is constant pressure, the good kind. It means they can do what other teams say they want to do but can't. My gosh, even Patrick Kane is checking. The Hawks were without Marian Hossa (upper body) on Wednesday, and the streak went on anyway.
It's not too early to compare this team to the one that won the Stanley Cup in 2010. Both teams got major contributions from non-stars. That's how you win championships.
The big discussion has been whether the Hawks' streak is better than the one going on in the NBA — no, not the consecutive days of Derrick Rose updates with no actual news. The 16-game winning streak by the Heat. LeBron James is killing opponents. And the Blackhawks are winning like crazy in a condensed season that puts a premium on depth and conditioning.
I know their point streak gets demerits in some corners because overtime losses are worth a point in the NHL. But the demands of the lockout-shortened schedule more than makes up for that.
Before the game, coach Joel Quenneville answered my question before I could finish asking it.
Are you having trouble finding things to …
"Complain about?'' he said.
Yes, exactly. I think Quenneville is down to complaining about the quality of the maraschino cherries in his drinks.
"We don't want to invite negative things or something we'd have to dwell on,'' he said. "But over the course of a season, I'm sure we'll be getting some challenges that we'll be dealing with.''
Eventually. Maybe.

Lawyer: Drew Peterson's chance for a fair trial ruined by 'Carnival-like pranks'
BY JANET LUNDQUIST email@example.com December 13, 2012 5:24PM
Article Extras
Updated: January 15, 2013 11:37AM
Drew Peterson's former lead attorney thought representing a famous client would put him in the big leagues, and focused on his own "self-glorification" to Peterson's detriment, according to a new filing in the case.
Thursday afternoon Peterson's attorney, David Pielet, filed a memo in Will County court supporting the defense team's claims that former lead attorney Joel Brodsky had a conflict of interest and ineffectively assisted Peterson.
The lengthy memo, authored by defense attorney Steve Greenberg, details the ways he believes Brodsky ruined Peterson's chances of acquittal, not the least of which was orchestrating and sensationalizing the media coverage of the case.
Brodsky "paraded Drew across the airwaves as if Drew were a sideshow, suggesting carnival-like pranks to heighten public recognition of himself and his client, as exemplified by the 'Win a Date With Drew' and a Bunny Ranch Reality Show," Greenberg wrote, allowing media outlets to wine and dine him and his wife in the process.
In December 2007, Brodsky and Peterson struck a deal with a publicist to get the duo photo ops and television appearances, magazine spreads and even product endorsements, including commercials.
The men also wanted the publicist, Glenn Selig of Selig Multimedia, to get them book and film deals, Greenberg wrote.
Thursday evening, Brodsky once again denied he was ineffective in representing Peterson during the two-month trial this summer.
"Drew is desperate," Brodsky said. "He's facing the rest of his life in jail. He'll say anything, and he has an unethical lawyer in Greenberg who will let him do that."
Peterson's attorneys have filed a motion asking Judge Edward Burmila to throw out the jury's verdict, or at least give Peterson a new trial.
The motion claims a number of errors on Brodsky's part during the ex-Bolingbrook cop's summer trial on charges he killed his third wife, Kathleen Savio.
Among the gaffes they claim are Brodsky's decision to put attorney Harry Smith on the witness stand. A number of jurors cited Smith's testimony, in which he recalled Peterson's fourth wife, Stacy, telling him she knew details of how Peterson killed Savio, as key in their decision to convict Peterson.
"The direct (questioning) was the iceberg, the cross (examination) the rushing water, and the result was the Captain had sunk the ship," Greenberg wrote, describing Brodsky's examination of Smith and the subsequent cross examination by the state.
Brodsky has insisted he did not make any legal errors during the trial, but said he withdrew from Peterson's defense team in October to quiet the controversy sparked by an earlier motion claiming he botched the case.
That motion was filed by attorney John Paul Carroll of Naperville, and listed 14 reasons why Brodsky allegedly failed in his representation of Peterson, including lying to his client. Peterson has denied the allegations in that motion.
But Greenberg's memo says Brodsky threatened to reveal privileged information if Peterson fired him or let other attorneys take the lead.
"That's a bald-faced lie," Brodsky responded Thursday evening.
Peterson is due back in court on Jan. 10 for a status update. A date for an hearing on the motion for a new trial could be set then.

On Saturday, the Downtown Athletic Club will announce the winner of Heisman Memorial Trophy Award for the 79th time since its inception in 1935. Considered one of, if not the most, prestigious individual awards in all of sports, the Heisman Trophy has become an event, stretching out the act of saying a name to an hour-long television show. When things get warped to fit into that nice little televised viewing block with dozens of sponsorships, there is a bit of pressure to make sure the "right" people are invited to New York for the presentation.
Dewana Raquel Clegg-Clayton age 44 of Irving, TX formerly of Prattsville went to be with the Lord on Saturday, December 7, 2013.
The ice storm of 2013 will go down as one of the more disruptive weather happenings in recent memory. When the storm was making its way toward the state last week, the Arkansas Activities Association made the right decision in postponing all of the high school football playoffs for a week. Providing the weather stays calm this week, the playoffs will resume on Friday for the 4A, 3A and 2A classifications and conclude for the 7A, 6A and 5A classifications.
Well, the college football regular season is over and we now move on to the bowl season. With the exception of one or two games, I can't say I'm too excited about the matchups. Of course the main event of the bowl season this year, which thankfully is the final year of the Bowl Championship Series, is the national championship game between the No. 1 Florida State Seminoles (13-0) and the No. 2 Auburn Tigers (12-1). I am actually dreading this game more than I am anticipating it.
Derry Edward "Gus" Gustafson, age 85, of Malvern passed away November 29 2013.
Robert Allen Scott, age 59, of Jones Mill passed away Sunday, December 1, 2013 at his home.
Geneva Adean Abbott, 90, of Malvern passed away December 2, 2013.
Jeffery Kennington died of cancer on Nov.26, 2013 at age 68.
Cecil K. Burns, age 88, of Malvern, died Monday, December 2, 2013 at the National Park Medical Center in Hot Springs.
Mildred C. Shaw, age 85, of Benton, passed away Monday, December 2, 2013. Visitation will be 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, December 3 at Ashby Funeral Home.

Aramis Ramirez is True Blue Brew Crew
milwaukee brewers August 28th, 2012
When the Brewers first signed Aramis Ramirez I was like "cool, now most of Prince Fielder's production has been replaced and he is not Casey McGehee." I wasn't like Zack Greinke acquisition excited or even Shaun Marcum trade excited. He was just kind of there. You knew he'd be good, but you knew he wouldn't be really exciting either. Aramis Ramirez is just one of those guys who goes to work, hits for his numbers and then goes home. He doesn't run hard on grounders and he isn't super dramatic. He just does his job and at the end of the year you are almost surprised at how good he was.
Or at least that's how it was supposed to be. What we got instead was a dude who makes you mad that the Brewers aren't playing better because he is absolutely killing it this season. He hit. 374 in July, THREE SEVENTY FOUR. He's going to break the Brewers single season doubles record, that's going to happen. He might hit .300 which would be absolutely amazing considering he hit .214 in May. He's made just enough good plays and has a good fielding percentage at third base that he's being called a good third baseman and will probably get some Gold Glove votes. Really, this is actually happening. He's been good for 4.7 WAR so far this season. Prince Fielder? A mere 3.7 WAR. Prince who? Aramis is third among all ML 3B in wOBA which, again, is amazing when you consider he hit .214 in May. Aramis Ramirez has been a revelation and he is putting up one of the great Brewer hitting seasons of all time. Read the rest of this entry »

World of WarCraft: Wrath of the Lich King Summary
World of WarCraft: Wrath of the Lich King Review
Blizzard unleashes a torrent of icy doom and deliciousness for World of Warcraft gamers in this latest expansion pack to the number one MMO.
Latest news
Blizzard include S.E.L.F.I.E. Camera in latest World of Warcraft patch
The vanity virus known as 'selfie' has just been confirmed for World of Warcraft as Blizzard has included the S.E.L.F.I.E. Camera in the latest Patch 6.1, currently on the Public Test Realms.
There is no known cure for the 'selfie' - it continues to ravage humanity. A level 100 quest called Field Photography will unlock the S.E.L.F.I.E. Camera, which can be upgraded to Mk. II with another quest.
Blizzard unveil World of Warcraft's 2015 plans, "exploring the possibility" of in-game tradeable game-time
What's in store for World of Warcraft in the new year? Blizzard has put together a post on Battle.net. One thing that stands out is the possibility of an in-game tradeable game-time economy popping up.
Blizzard likes the idea of "surplus gold to cover" some of the subscription cost, just like some other MMOs. Other things for 2015 include "more-direct routes" with flight masters.
Death Knight to no longer require high level character in World of Warcraft
Blizzard has gone and turned the world of Azeroth upside down as they prepare to remove the once sacred law that, in order to play as a Death Knight, you had to already have a level 55 character.
The idea that you could start out as a level 55 was a huge change for World of Warcraft, but now with level 90 boosts available it's "no longer relevant." The requirement lifts in the next patch.
Blizzard's Black Friday deals revealed for StarCraft 2, World of Warcraft and Diablo 3
The insanity that is Black Friday is almost ready to plague the United States, simulating if you will the national panic of a zombie apocalypse-style rush for consumer goods. Blizzard has joined the madness.
That means there are savings to be had for StarCraft 2, Diablo 3 and of course the big cheese, World of Warcraft. The latter includes all expansions up to Warlords of Draenor, the latest addition.
'Eye of Azshara' trademark by Blizzard signals possible expansion for Hearthstone
Yet more spoilers from the world of legal paperwork as Blizzard Entertainment has trademarked something called "Eye of Azshara" in the mystical land of Benelux, which really isn't a zone in Azeroth, but in Europe instead.
Now in lore, Azshara was the highborne elven queen who sort of let Sargeras and the Burning Legion out of their crazy box. Surely then World of Warcraft is already gearing up for its next expansion?

Women's football | Is Skellefteå, Sweden, the game's once and future home?
Tiffeny Milbrett got off a plane in the hamlet (pop. 70,000) of Skellefteå, Sweden, and went through the rituals of new signees. She posed with her Sunnanå SK jersey—plastered with sponsors' names like a Formula 1 driver's—responded to questions beneath the flash of TV lights and, in our favorite variation, juggled a football beside an idle baggage carousel, a security guard standing in the distance.
In a video interview with Thomas Hedlund of Norra Västerbotten, Milbrett says the airport's one runway is "kinda cute."
It might be tempting to say that Milbrett and other Americans (see table below) are in forced exile in Europe with the demise of the Women's United Soccer Association. But this is what women players have always done: to seek out opportunities where they exist, and even where they do not. And Europe—with the ninth official European Championships to begin Sunday in Blackpool and Manchester, England—has become the most dynamic zone for women's club football.
Building on firmly established football cultures and club infrastructure, much is on offer for the free agent looking for a home. This is especially true for Americans, whose senior women's national team—under a new head coach, Greg Ryan—has not assembled since the Algarve Cup in Portugal in March. A friendly with Canada at the end of June was only recently scheduled.
Historically, Europe—with Scandinavia in the lead—has been the most consistent in providing a training environment for elite-level women players. In Sweden, the first women's football league formed in 1950 in Umeå, a northern town of some 95,000 (see note 1), although historians date the first Swedish women's team to 1917. The latter was organized initially to play gubblag or "old-boys' " sides. As in England and other outposts where male-dominated sport was becoming a leisure-time pursuit, opposition to women mounted.
"There are not words strong enough to berate women's football—" penned the sports newspaper Nordiskt Idrottslif in 1918, "if the girls or their advocates want to be taken seriously." In England, the opposition to women playing before large crowds for charity, but also in organized competition on Football League grounds, developed into a ban on women playing on League-owned surfaces from 5 Dec 1921 to 29 Nov 1971—six days shy of 50 years.
Important for adding women's football to the sporting landscape has been the so-called Swedish model, in which some 22,000 sports clubs fall under the umbrella of the Swedish Sports Confederation and various sport-specific and regional groups. Local clubs, therefore—such as Milbrett's Sunnanå SK—function democratically and allow local expression of more widely held ideals.
In the 1960s, for example, as in large areas of the West, the role of women in Swedish society came into question.
[P]eople questioned, among other things, the working conditions of industrial workers, nuclear families, traditional holidays, the authoritarian structure of universities, patterns of consumption (materialism) and so forth. The new women's movement criticized the gender order in society and the patriarchal and capitalistic structure that created and upheld this gender order. (Hjelm and Olofsson, "A Breakthrough," 196)
Related to these social forces and preexisting sport structures, Hjelm and Olofsson make clear that "the development of modern Swedish women's football was not a result of international influences (with the exception of the southernmost part of Sweden), and neither was it a process initiated by the [Swedish Football Association]. Instead, football spontaneously developed from below when hundreds, and after a few years, thousands of women began playing the game" (195).
Southern parts of Sweden, Skåne in particular, were influenced by the women's game in Denmark. But places such as Umeå expressed their own dynamism. Umeå IK formed a women's team in 1985, a year after Sweden won the inaugural European championship. Umeå ranks among the strongest in Europe, having won the 2003 UEFA Women's Cup. They are tied for first with Malmö FF in the Swedish Damallsvenskan at the Euro break with Swedish greats Malin Moström and Hanna Ljungberg along with the player we consider the most brilliant in the women's game, 19-year-old Marta Vieira da Silva of Brazil, in their side. (We once saw Marta in the lobby of a Washington-area hotel, absorbed in the music coming through her headphones, oblivious that her hotel was within spitting distance of a famed underground parking facility in which Deep Throat, aka Mark Felt, passed classified information to earnest young reporter Bob Woodward 30 years earlier.)
But what about the state of the women's game in Europe in general? Some answers likely will come from a conference sponsored by the International Football Institute at the University of Central Lancashire, "Women, Football and Europe," from Jun 13–16. Thirty-three papers will be presented, including oral histories, discussions of racism in women's football and ideas on development.
England captain Faye White has mentioned the problem of persistent comparisons between the men's and women's games. White says that the ill-advised parallels are keeping the women's sport down. "Women's football should be seen as a game in its own right," White says. "It might have the same rules but it's different. The two can't compete" (note 2).
We all need to start thinking differently about women athletes. Social structures in much of the world still do not accommodate their desires. As Elsie Milbrett-Parham, mother of Tiffeny Milbrett, told the New York Times during the 1999 Women's World Cup, "A lot of men still feel we're supposed to be cooking the meals, waiting for them to come home. At least it's falling by the wayside" in the United States and other societies, primarily in the West. "We're all going to go out and have fun, then come home and cook and clean the house together."
There will always be girls like Milbrett and France's Marinette Pichon, who need to express their creativity on the pitch. Pichon says of her youth in Bar sur Aube, France, "I started kicking a football when I was five. I don't know why I did it. It was just something that happened—something inside me wanted to do it."
1. Much of the information on the development of women's football in Sweden comes from Jonny Hjelm and Eva Olofsson, "A Breakthrough: Women's Football in Sweden," in Soccer, Women, Sexual Liberation: Kicking Off a New Era, ed. Fan Hong and J. A. Mangan (London and Portland, Oreg.: Frank Cass, 2004), 182–204. A National Public Radio report suggests that feminism in the country might not have made as many advances as previously advertised (Jerome Socolovsky, "Swedes Back Away from Feminism," 12 Aug 05). | back to text »
2. Dan Warren, "Women's Game Faces Catch-22 Situation," BBC Sport, May 31. For a complete assessment leading up to Euro 05, see Rose George, "Pitch Battle," The Independent, May 21.
Another issue is women footballers desiring to compete with men when opportunities are lacking. FIFA decreed in Dec 04 that Mexico's Maribel Domínguez could not sign for Mexico second-division club Celaya. The logic behind FIFA's judgment? "Custom has been that men and women compete in different competitions" (Simon Kuper, "Team-mates from Mars and Venus," Financial Times, Apr 16).
That media representations of men and women in sport differ astronomically is without question. According to the Women's Sports Foundation UK, women accounted for 2.3 percent of images in sports pages of Britain's media (Natasha Woods, "Action Woman," Sunday Herald [Glasgow], Mar 27).
"The public has this problem when it comes to female athletes," writes Jemele Hill in the Orlando Sentinel. "We don't like them to make money as professionals. … It's like female athletes were permanently put in the feel-good story box and never let out. We love their hard-luck stories so much we decided to keep them hungry by failing to support their professional leagues" ("Public Loves Women Athletes as Amateurs, but as Pros …," Apr 4). | back to text »

This is a "self delivery" pack which has been designed specifically for National Science and Engineering Week 2013. The science behind fingeprints is well known! What is not so well known is the link between fingerprints and footprints. Right Angle Events have launched a new education pack called 'Toes for Turf' comprising at least 4 hours of fun teaching material linked to Key Stage 1-4 Mathematics.
We have designed a fantastic scheme especially for National Science & Engineering Week called "Toes For Turf". The science behind fingerprints is well known. What is not so well known is the science behind footprints or "feet prints". This activity enables students to take, classify and "lift" both fingerprints and foot prints. As the research on footprints is meagre, this scheme will allow students to make some discoveries about the correlation or otherwise between fingerprints and feet prints.
