UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - When women's gymnastics' head coach Jeff Thompson walked into the press room after Saturday's meet he had one thing to say, "I knew our girls could do this."
His smile lit up the room as he tried to communicate how proud he was of the performance of his Nittany Lions.
Last weekend's meet against Nebraska was a tough one to watch; seeing the women's gymnastics team tie their season high score, but fall short of a victory because of "sticks." The team's goal for this Saturday's meet was to "stick it," and they rose to the occasion, besting No.15 Illinois 196.675-196.500.
The Nittany Lions started out Saturday's double dual with their vault routines, posting a team score of 49.000. Sidney Sanabria-Robles and Emma Sibson led Penn State's vault program, posting scores of 9.875 and 9.850 respectively.
"We weren't sticking as many vault landings today, but when we got done with our bar rotation I knew we were on a roll," Thompson said. "The girls came to win today."
Kassidy Stauder led Penn State's bar rotation with a score of 9.875, with both Krystal Welsh and Sanabria-Robles posting 9.850 in their bar routines. The team posted a total bar score of 49.125.
Stauder, Weslsh and Sanabria-Robles were the top performers in the all around. Sanabria-Robles took home the gold with an all-around score of 39.425, her first of her collegiate career.
"They [Stauder, Welsh, Sanabria-Robles] gave impressive performances today," Thompson said. "This is a huge confidence booster for them."
Heading into the floor and bar rotation, Illinois was in the lead, but the Nittany Lions quickly answered. Illinois is arguably one of the best beam teams in the Big Ten, a fact that coach Thompson was well aware of heading into the meet.
"Illinois thought they would secure a lead with their beam routine," Thompson said. "We took control in our house, and we showed them who owns Rec Hall."
The Nittany Lions and the Fighting Illini ultimately tied on beam, each posting scores of 49.175.
The most impressive display of how tough the Big Ten gymnastics competition is was during the Nittany Lions' floor routine. After tying Illinois on beam, winning the floor rotation was a must in order to for the Nittany Lions to win. Welsh posted a 9.900, along with Randi Lau, Lindsay Musgrove and Stauder each scoring 9.875.
"We were so excited to go out there and do what we do in practice," Welsh said. "We did that with every routine today. I am so, so happy."
With all of the excitement and impressive performances in this Saturday's meet, it was hard to miss all of the pink in Rec Hall. This weekend's meet was dedicated to breast cancer and the strength of those who are doing their best to "stick it" to the terrible disease.
"Wearing pink today added another element to us wanting to win," Stauder said. "Those women are fighters, they deserve to see our support and know that we are rooting for them."
For coach Thompson, this meet proved two things about his team: that his team is competitive against the elite teams in the conference and that the rest of this season will be nothing short of exciting.
"Heading into the rest of the season and the Big Ten Tournament, I can't wait to see what these girls will do," Thompson said. "We just need to keep competing how we practice. We have to keep taking charge. When you get a team down you have to keep pounding them and keep them down. That is what it takes to be a national championship team."

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Thirteen years ago, a little girl walked into her first gymnastics class in Victoria, British Columbia. The soft spoken, always smiling Emma Sibson never expected to become completely obsessed with gymnastics.
When Sibson was eight, she realized that going through the motions in a practice facility wasn't going to cut it for her; she wanted to compete. Her family moved to Allen, Texas, where she joined the Dallas based World Olympic Gymnastics Academy (WOGA) and began her competitive career.
Sibson was welcomed with open arms; even at such a young age she showed promise to her coaches .The WOGA girls took a liking to a young Sibson as soon as she walked through the door. The team operated on a big sister/little sister support system, a system that Sibson says paired her with one of the most "influential big sisters she could have asked for." Sibson got to call none other than 2008 Olympic Gold Medalist Nastia Liukin "big sister."
"I got to train with Nastia (Liukin) and Carly Patterson," Sibson said. "I remember during the Olympic games staying up super late to watch them on television. It was crazy that I knew them and got to practice with them."
In 2004, Sibson transferred to Zenith Elite Gymnastics Academy in McKinney, Texas, where she would become a level 10 gymnast by 2008. Sibson was competing all across the state of Texas, gracing the podium at several local and regional competitions. From the beginning of her competitive career, the vault has always been her happy place.
"For me, vault is the most empowering event," Sibson said. "In every other event, you get to stick a landing multiple times. On vault, you have one opportunity to stick the landing and score points. That's what I love about it."
Sibson's love for vault helped her continue to impress judges at her level 10 competitions. In 2010, Sibson finished first in vault and floor at the Level 10 Regionals in Texas, where she then qualified for the Junior Olympic Nationals. She won the Junior Olympic Vault title and qualified to the Visa Championships and competed at the Elite Canada tournament in Quebec City, where she placed eighth in the all-around, fifth on floor and third in vault. Sibson was named to the British Columbia gymnastics team where she competed at the 2010 Canada Winter Games in Nova Scotia. Her team walked away with a silver medal, and Sibson returned to the States with a bronze medal in vault.
"Being apart of that team was definitely a high point in my career," Sibson said. "It was such a great experience."
dedication to the sport goes without saying. She attended high school at Spring
Creek Academy in Plano, Texas, a school designed for competitive athletes,
where they only went to class for two and a half hours in the afternoon, giving
them off in the morning to train.
After her performance in the Canada Winter Games, Sibson and her coaches had their eyes on the Olympics. But, Sibson's Olympic dreams were cut short when she broke her ankle during her senior year at Spring Creek Academy.
"I realized I wanted to go to the Olympic trials when I was competing for Canada Elite," Sibson said. "Sometimes things just aren't meant to be."
Realizing that she would never be able to grace the Olympic podium, she made it her goal to make the collegiate podium her new home; Sibson signed on to become a Nittany Lion.
"Competing in college has always been a dream of mine," Sibson said. "Penn State was the right place to make that happen."
This season, the freshman Nittany Lion has proven to be a vital component to the women's gymnastics team. Sibson is Penn State's top performer in vault with a high score of 9.950, along with contributing top performances on floor and balance beam. Sibson says that she was able to relax her nerves this season because of the seamless transition she experienced in coming to Penn State.
"My coaches made it so easy for me to go from club competition to competing in the Big Ten," Sibson said. "It is so hard to leave home and I wouldn't have been able to do it without them. Your performance is no longer just for yourself, it's for your team."
Sibson has found her home in Happy Valley on the mat, but also with her teammates. She is known to be a goofball, giving her team some laughs and making the best out of every situation. Her light-hearted attitude became clear when she asked her teammates to help her execute a prank on the men's hockey team.
"At Christmas, the guys kept working so hard on decorating their tree," Sibson said. "I decided that I wanted to steal it from them when they were at practice. So I got a few girls to help me. Their reaction to what happened was totally worth it."
When she isn't thinking about ways to make people laugh, Sibson has her eyes set on the Big Ten tournament and helping her team qualify for nationals.
"I am so grateful for the opportunity to compete for such a great school and great team," Sibson said. "Being able to contribute and be on the mat as a freshman is definitely one of the proudest moments for me so far in my career."
Her team's national goals were solidified last weekend in their performance against No. 8 Nebraska. The girls were just tenths of a point behind the Cornhuskers, which gave them the confidence they needed to keep pushing themselves, day after day in practice.
"Last week opened our eyes to what we can do," Sibson said. "We can be a top team. I have no doubt about that."
Sibson and the Nittany Lions take on Illinois this Saturday in a double dual with the men's gymnastics team at Rec Hall.
"I have grown up as competitor and as a person since coming to Penn State," Sibson said. "I am so excited to see what the rest of this season will bring."

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Saturday's contest at Rec Hall was unique with both Penn State's men's and women's gymnastics teams competing together. As both teams made their way out onto the mat, they engaged the crowd in the infamous "WE ARE" cheer. The women took on the Nebraska Cornhuskers and the men battled it out with the Temple Owls.
Men's Team is Victorious in Contest
The Nittany Lions have been consistent across the board when it comes to putting up points. From their season-opener at Army to this Saturday's contest against Temple, the men's gymnastics team has achieved scores in the 420 to 430 range. This weekend was no different; the Nittany Lions bested Temple 431.550 to 401.600.
Head coach Randy Jepson spoke to his team's resilience during the season thus far, as many have had to step up to the plate due to teammates' injuries.
"We have been pretty beat up and injured," said Jepson. "We had to call on guys who may not normally compete in a certain event. They were tested and they stepped up to the plate today."
Coach Jepson believes that part of his team's success is due to the contributions of the unsung heroes.
"We are lucky to have guys like Jeremy Munn and Tristan Duverglas," said Jepson. "They really stepped up today."
Munn is a freshman walk-on who was called on this Saturday to fill spots on the floor and vault. He scored 14.500 points for the Nittany Lions on floor and 14.200 points on the vault.
Duverglas placed first on vault with 15.500 points, a performance that Jepson says, "you would see in the finals of the World Championships."
Coach Jepson was thoroughly impressed with the performance of sophomore Alexis Torres. Torres won the floor event with a score of 15.300.
"He is very talented," said Jepson of Torres's performance. "Today was the first time I saw him compete the way he has trained. His scores can only go up from here."
And then there is Trevor Howard...
The sophomore has been the most consistent performer for the Nittany Lions. Howard competes in all but one event. He put up big numbers on parallel bars (15.150) and vault (14.800) against Temple this Saturday.
"I love competing in double duals," said Howard. "The girls are always extremely supportive and its great to see all of the fans and my family come out."
When Howard stepped out to compete in his high bar rotation, he was the only gymnast on the mat. In what was a chaotic atmosphere for most of the double dual, Rec Hall was silent as they watched Howard put up 14.550 points on the high bar.
"High bar was definitely my best even today," said Howard. "I have been working really hard on it in practice. To be able to come out today, stick the landing and give the crowd a show was awesome."
But, being the last to compete is a challenge that Howard welcomes with open arms, as he uses that pressure as preparation for National Team tryouts.
"I try to build off these types of settings and set higher goals for myself," said Howard. "Coach Jepson has me go last to help me prepare for those pressure sets."
Rec Hall's competitive setting isn't just for teams, but for siblings, too
Penn State's women's gymnastics' Krystal Welsh was especially excited for Saturday's double dual. She not only got compete in front of her parents, but she had the rare opportunity of sharing the mat with her brother and Temple Owl, Jakob Welsh.
"I was so excited to see him compete," said Jakob Welsh. "He was the first person I looked for when I walked on the mat. We both made all-around so that makes me really happy."
Krystal Welsh finished second for Penn State, and fourth in the all-around and Jakob Welsh finished first for Temple.
Season best score gives Nittany Lions hope, despite loss to Nebraska
No. 23 Penn State's women's gymnastics put up a fight against No. 8 Nebraska this Saturday in the double dual. Despite season best score of 196.150, the Nittany Lions fell short of the Cornhuskers' score of 197.225.
Head Coach Jeff Thompson isn't going to let this tough loss hold his team back from improvement. His coaching staff and team will look at the positives.
"We knew we had our work cut out for us heading into today's meet," said Thompson. "We got off to a great start of vault, but I think we got a little too excited."
The Nittany Lions gave the Cornhuskers a run for their money on vault, especially with the performance of freshman Emma Sibson. Sibson tied Nebraska's Jessie DeZiel with a score of 9.950.
"Today I was focused on staying relaxed," said Sibson. "I did my vault how I do it in practice, which was a personal high for me, but there is always room for improvement."
Penn State was neck and neck with Nebraska in vault, losing 49.400 to 49.150.
Stauder's focus and bringing practice performances to competition
Kassidy Stauder is quickly becoming a household name in Big Ten gymnastics, as she owns her performances in uneven parallel bars and beam. They key to her consistent performances, she says, is her effort to perform her routines in competition exactly how she does in practice. Stauder's numbers this weekend illustrate her dedication to the notion, "practice makes perfect."
"Competing how we practice is becoming a team theme," said Stauder. "I warm up the same way for a meet as I do in practice, which helps keep my performance consistency."
Stauder finished behind Nebraska's DeZiel and Emily Wong in the all-around with 39.350 points.
What's Next?
Coach Thompson is looking forward to the rest of the season, especially after his team's performance against Nebraska. With key meets in the Big Ten coming up, it is imperative for the Nittany Lions to not lose sight of the positive strides made in Saturday's dual.
"We lost events by tenths of a point," said Thompson. "We can find those tenths of a point by doing a few extra hand stands and sticking some more landings. We can only build from the teams performance today."
The gymnastics teams will compete in another double dual next weekend at Rec Hall against Illinois. The Nittany Lions and the Fighting Illini will take the mat on Saturday at 4 p.m.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. -- After a successful weekend at Ohio State, the 23rd-ranked Penn State women's gymnastics team has found the keys to being successful. Trust, starting and finishing well, being consistent, and taking what the team does in practice and applying it to the meets.
Senior all around gymnast Kassidy Stauder and head coach Jeff Thompson know what it takes to be victorious this weekend against No. 8 Nebraska in their first home Big Ten meet of the season.
Each week, the Nittany Lions have a word of the week that they focus on. The "Word of the Week" this week is trust. Trusting themselves. Trusting each other. Trusting the coaches. Trusting the judges. Trusting their talent.
"[We are trusting ourselves to] go into the meet and [we are] trusting that what we've down in the gym everyday is what we're capable of doing at the meet," Stauder said. "[We are] trusting ourselves to just let it go and let it all out there."
Starting and Finishing Well:
Previously, the team focused on a good start in the first event and a good finish in the last event. Now the team is focusing on starting well in one event and finishing well in that same event. This mindset helped the Lions defeat Ohio State last weekend. The Lions will be kicking off the competition on the vault this weekend against Nebraska.
"What I hope is that we get a great start on vault, but [also] we get off to a great start on every event," Thompson said.
Last weekend, Stauder set a season-high mark on the floor with a 9.775. Stauder said she and the team are working on their consistency, and are continuing to put the whole meet together as a team. The Nittany Lions hit all 24 competitive routines last weekend and hope that they can be consistent and continue this success against Nebraska.
Stauder said the team has done a great job of hitting their routines with good handstands and dismounts and being aggressive in the meets. She said she wants the team to continue this this weekend.
Thompson said the team is looking to build on the confidence that it gained from the road win against Ohio State. The team is still competing for the Big Ten regular season title. If the team continues to be consistent and victorious, they have the chance to fulfill that dream.
"There were so many good things last weekend that we just want to continue that feeling at home, with our crowd behind us. The atmosphere is going to be really fun," Thompson said.
Performing How They Practice
"Go White." That's what the Nittany Lions chant from the side when their teammates are performing. This means, "Go to White Building." The girls vision themselves in the White Building, where they practice, to feel like they are just at another practice, doing another routine, just like they do everyday.
This weekend is a double dual, in which both the women and men's team compete at the same time. The women's and men's teams practice together, so this weekend will be even more similar to practicing in the White Building. The men's gymnastics team will be taking on Temple this weekend.
"We absolutely love double duals because we train with the guys everyday, so it makes us feel even more like we're in White Building," Stauder said. "And it brings a lot more energy and fun to the meet. I think the crowd really likes it too. They enjoy being able to see both the women and the men compete."
The women's gymnastics team has won three consecutive meets and is looking to continue the winning streak against Nebraska at home. Stauder said using the equipment that the team is used to, having family and fans there, and not having to deal with traveling gives the Nittany Lions an advantage.
The team will again host Nebraska in March during the Big Ten Championships.
"It's really cool because Big Ten [Championships] are going to be here, so it's kind of like a trial run having the Big Ten schools here," Stauder said.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - Three meets into the 2014 season, senior Kassidy Stauder is off to a strong start to her final campaign as a Nittany Lion gymnast. Stauder led the Nittany Lions to victory in a quad meet against Cornell, Southeast Missouri, and UIC on Saturday, with a career-high all around score of 39.275.
This season, Stauder has won the All-Around title and has tied for second with a score of 38.925 in a quad meet earlier this month against Kentucky, Ball State, and West Virginia. She also owns the team's top scores on balance beam (9.900) and uneven bars (9.875).
But Stauder has not always been the all around gymnast that we see today. She has evolved into an all around gymnast during her time at Penn State. Before coming to Penn State, she had not vaulted at the skill level she vaults at today.
She began Saturday's competition on the vault and scored a 9.725, only .050 below her career-high. Head coach Jeff Thompson commended the Palmerton, Pa., native for her effort on the vault.
"She didn't do that vault before she got to college and actually, she was pretty terrified of vaulting when she got here. She's worked through that and gotten herself in a position where when we need her, she can step up and give us a score," Thompson said.
After vaulting, Stauder headed to the uneven bars where she scored a career-high 9.875. Her performance on the bars was both the team's highest and the meet's highest score on the uneven bars. On the bars, the "little things" matter. Stauder said the team focused on this in practice before Saturday's meet.
"We took what we did last week in the competition and really focused on the mistakes that we made, like the little details, handstands, pointed toes, feet together, and sticking [the landing]," Stauder said.
In a competition earlier this month against Iowa State, Stauder's score of 9.725 was the third-highest score on uneven bars in the meet.
Stauder, who started gymnastics at age eight, said she felt very confident after completing her routines on Saturday. She noted that she is able to feel how well she did before her score is even announced. She felt most comfortable on both the uneven bars and the balance beam. On the beam, she said she felt, "really calm and excited."
She tied her career-high of 9.900 on the balance beam on Saturday. This was the team and meet's highest score on the beam.
Stauder's final performance of the day was her floor exercise. She was the leadoff for the Nittany Lions and received a score of 9.775. Thompson said she did a great job hitting her routine.
"[I am] super proud of her for being in the all-around tonight; doing such a great job, being the anchor on beam, hitting that floor routine like she did, her bar routine was our highest score. What a great, fun first home meet of her senior year," Thompson said.
Stauder said she will be working on the details and fixing the little things before the team's first Big Ten meet of the season against Michigan State on Saturday.

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - As the Nittany Lions met in a huddle on the side of the mat, you knew they meant business. "We Are" echoed off the walls of Rec Hall as Penn State's women's gymnastics team headed toward its first rotation in the quad-meet this past Saturday. Aside from the Nittany Lions, Cornell, Southeast Missouri, and Illinois-Chicago were also in attendance.
Starting on vault for the Nittany Lions were Lindsay Musgrove, Emma Sibson, Krystal Welsh, Kassidy Stauder, Sidney Sanabria-Robles, and Randi Lau. Sibson had a personal best score of 9.85, taking first place over all in the event. The team finished with an overall vault score of 49.075.
"With our first two meets on the road, our scores weren't what we wanted them to be," said head coach Jeff Thompson. "We took the performances from the last two meets, came out strong and did better."
After a winning performance on the vault, Samantha Musto, Nicole Medvitz, Welsh, Stauder, Lau and Sanabria-Robles made their way to the bars as starters for the Lions. Stauder shined on the bars, as she propelled herself to first place in the event with a score of 9.875. The Nittany Lions claimed first through third place in bar routines. Stauder finished first, followed by Medvitz and Sanabria-Robles, who tied for second with a score of 9.850, followed by Welsh who finished in third place with a score of 9.825. The team finished with an overall bar score of 49.175.
"The girls did a great job today," said Thompson. "If you can get a tenth of a point higher in each routine, it really adds up and the girls came pretty close to doing that today."
Penn State's third event of the evening was beam, where Tina Postiglione, Lau, Medvitz, Musto, Stauder and Sanabria-Robles competed for the Nittany Lions. Penn State claimed first through third place on beam, with Stauder in first, followed by Lau in second and Medvitz in third. The team finished with a final score of 45.925 on beam.
Finally, the Nittany Lions approached the center of Rec Hall to perform their floor routines. Stauder, Medvitz, Sanabria-Robles, Welsh, Lau and Musto. Welsh secured first place with a score of 9.925, followed by Musgrove (9.900), Lau (9.875) and Musto and Sanabria-Robles, who both scored 9.850. The team scored a 49.400 on the floor.
Coach Thompson's reflection on Saturday's success spoke volumes to the example he believes his team can set for future gymnasts.
"A majority of our fans are between the ages of eight to 14 years old," said Thompson. "These girls are role models for them, which makes them think about their actions on and off the mat. Audience members might not be able to hear what is said on the mat, but they can read body language. Our girls need to have a positive outlook in practice, in the locker room and on the mat."
Kassidy Stauder proved to be the perfect illustration of positivity on Saturday as she claimed the all-around title with a 39.275. Stauder placed first in both bars and beam.
"Stauder is one of those girls who can turn on any switch when you need her to," said Thompson.
Penn State finished with a season-high score of 196.025.
"We are going to use this meet to propel us into Michigan State next weekend," said Thompson. "I am so proud of these girls and I am really looking forward to what this season brings. Their energy was awesome today."

UNIVERSITY PARK, Pa. - When you ask Sharaya Musser if she ever thought that, after four years of competing as a collegiate gymnast, she'd be ending her senior year with a third trip to the NCAA Championships, she's a bit speechless.
"I don't know," laughed Musser. "It's quite the experience."
The senior Nittany Lion leaves State College today en route to her final competition of her collegiate career. After tying for second place in the all-around at the Norman, Okla. Regional two weeks ago, Musser clinched her third-straight championship berth and is headed to Los Angeles, Calif. for three days of competition.
The women's gymnastics championships welcome 12 teams and 12 all-around competitors who are not a part of a qualifying team, as well as individual event finalists. As a team, the Nittany Lions fell just two spots short of a championship berth, finishing fourth at the regional competition.
And while the 22-year-old said that she would like nothing more than for her teammates to enjoy the sunny Los Angeles weather with her, she knows that they're rooting for her all the way.
"It's bittersweet," said Musser. "Obviously I'm proud of myself for qualifying but I really want my team to come with me so that's always a downside to it. But they've been coming into the gym and supporting me through my practices and that has meant a lot to me."
This is the third year in a row that Musser will be competing as an individual at the championships, as she earned 12th in the all-around in 2011 and eighth in 2012. But the senior said that as her final opportunities wind down, she's aiming for a much higher finish.
"The goal is to finish in the top three in the all-around," said Musser. "I've just got to go out there and do my best and do what I've been doing all season. You can't control judges and scores so if you know you did your best but you don't get the scores you think you deserve then you've just got to brush that off and let it go."
In order to do so, Musser said that she has to prepare a bit differently than she might for a mid-season meet or any other competition.
"I've been trying to rest my body as best as I can in order to compete," said Musser. "We're at the end of the season so you've done your routines over and over and over, day in and day out, so it's more of a mental game than it is a physical game once you hit nationals. These past two weeks I've just been doing a lot of visualization and just keeping up with the little things."
Musser's all-around competition will begin on with a semifinal on Friday and the top four individuals from that sessions will advance to compete in the finals on Sunday.
But regardless of what kind of scores or medals Musser brings home, she said that it's nice to look back at the last four years and know that she had fun doing what she really loves to do.
"It's wonderful seeing all of my hard work paying off."

For people who don't have time to bathe or access to fresh water, a South African college student has a solution: a shower gel users simply rub onto their skin. One small packet replaces one bath, and users never need any water.
Ludwick Marishane's inspiration was a lazy friend, but his invention will be a boon to people who live in areas where clean water is in short supply.
The gel, called DryBath, kills germs, moisturizes the skin and exudes a pleasant, light smell, unlike hand sanitizers, according to Marishane's website, Headboy Industries. The gel is packaged in small, easy-to-open sachets that were a South African invention.
Marishane got the idea to sell individual packets when he learned from mentors that the world's poorest people buy things in very small quantities, such as one cigarette at a time as opposed to a pack or a carton, he said in a presentation.

Very nice, escapist story. Enjoyed a lot. The narrator was OK, but some of his dialects were a little difficult for him. The story was good too, although the front end could use some tightening. But overall, certainly worth a credit.

There are some things money can't buy—but these days, not many. Almost everything is up for sale. For example:
A prison-cell upgrade: $90 a night. In Santa Ana, California, and some other cities, nonviolent offenders can pay for a clean, quiet jail cell, without any non-paying prisoners to disturb them.
Access to the carpool lane while driving solo: $8. Minneapolis, San Diego, Houston, Seattle, and other cities have sought to ease traffic congestion by letting solo drivers pay to drive in carpool lanes, at rates that vary according to traffic.
The services of an Indian surrogate mother: $8,000. Western couples seeking surrogates increasingly outsource the job to India, and the price is less than one-third the going rate in the United States.
The right to shoot an endangered black rhino: $250,000. South Africa has begun letting some ranchers sell hunters the right to kill a limited number of rhinos, to give the ranchers an incentive to raise and protect the endangered species.
Your doctor's cellphone number: $1,500 and up per year. A growing number of "concierge†doctors offer cellphone access and same-day appointments for patients willing to pay annual fees ranging from $1,500 to $25,000.
The right to emit a metric ton of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere: $10.50. The European Union runs a carbon-dioxide-emissions market that enables companies to buy and sell the right to pollute.
The right to immigrate to the United States: $500,000. Foreigners who invest $500,000 and create at least 10 full-time jobs in an area of high unemployment are eligible for a green card that entitles them to permanent residency.

I do have the following suggestions, without making too many changes to your build.
Your Engineering Team 1 will conflict with the cooldown of your Tactical Team 1 and 2. Something has to give, and I think it should be Engineering Team. Replace it with Emergency Power to Shields I.
Replace Direct Energy Modulation 2 (it won't be much help to you) with Emergency Power to Auxiliary 3.
Replace Tactical Team 2 with either Beam Overload 2 or Fire at Will 2.
Finally, replace your two purple damage control doffs with two purple conn duty officers (tactical team version shortens the recharge time).
Making these changes will enable you to have Emergency Power to Shields, Emergency Power to Auxiliary, and Tactical Team running all the time,
I, too, am an Engineer.

Cockermouth plans diamond jubilee festivities
Last updated at 20:24, Thursday, 23 February 2012
Cockermouth will hold an event in the Market Place on June 3 to celebrate the Queen's Diamond Jubilee.
Market Place will close to traffic and tables and chairs will be set out for people to take their own picnic.
Entertainment will be provided during the day.
The event is being organised by Cockermouth's festival committee, chamber of trade, town council and Rotary.
It is hoped that it will be similar to the Lakes Alive banquet that was held in Cockermouth last year, which was attended by more than 2,000 people.
Jonty Chippendale, vice chairman of the chamber of trade, said: "The town council asked me if we could come up with something for the jubilee but we felt it shouldn't be just a chamber initiative.
"That is why we have got the other groups involved and it is very much going to be a community-led event.
"We hope to have some entertainment, that Market Place will be dressed with bunting and that the local restaurants and takeaways will get on board or that people can bring their own picnic."
It is hoped that some funding will be secured from the neighbourhood forum and that tables and chairs can be used from Victoria Hall.
Bob Pritchard, of the town's festival committee, said: "It is a really good opportunity for the town and that there is something to celebrate.
"It is a chance for people to meet up and have a nice afternoon."
l What are your plans for the diamond jubilee? If your street, village or community are doing anything special, we'd love to know! Call James Broadhurst on 01900 607627 or email firstname.lastname@example.com

Saint Valentine
in Religion
Rebroadcast of the long running radio program, "The Ave Maria Hour", a presentation of the Franciscan Friars of the Atonement. www.AtonementFriars.org
Saint Valentine -- Valentine was a holy priest in Rome, who, with St. Marius and his family, assisted the martyrs in the persecution under Claudius II. He was apprehended, and sent by the emperor to the prefect of Rome, who, on finding all his promises to make him renounce his faith ineffectual, commanded him to be beaten with clubs, and afterwards, to be beheaded, which was executed on February 14, about the year 270. Pope Julius I is said to have built a church near Ponte Mole to his memory, which for a long time gave name to the gate now called Porta del Popolo, formerly, Porta Valetini. The greatest part of his relics are now in the church of St. Praxedes. His name is celebrated as that of an illustrious martyr in the sacramentary of St. Gregory, the Roman Missal of Thomasius, in the calendar of F. Fronto and that of Allatius, in Bede, Usuard, Ado, Notker and all other martyrologies on this day. To abolish the heathens lewd superstitious custom of boys drawing the names of girls, in honor of their goddess Februata Juno, on the fifteenth of this month, several zealous pastors substituted the names of saints in billets given on this day.

Uniform Madness: Sweet 16 poll updates
- Updated: March 22, 2012
Hopefully by now you have taken notice of the 2012 Worst Uniform Tournament. We are looking to find the absolute worst college football uniform and to do so we have caught on to the March Madness with a tournament of our own.
Readers are submitting their votes through polls for each match-up, round by round. Second round voting is ongoing and will wrap up on Saturday, with the next round starting up next week. Here is a tournament update on where things stand this Thursday morning.
Wyoming should defend their home region against Northwestern, although it is just an eleven percentage point lead right now. The closest contest right now is in the Pro Combat Region, where Colorado State's pale yellow jerseys are just three percentage points ahead of Michigan State's Pro Combat uniforms.
It seems a number one seed could be in some trouble on the right side of the bracket. Georgia's Pro Combat uniforms are in a hole against Pittsburgh's Pro Combat uniforms from 2010. Could this leave the door open for Maryland's yellow jerseys as a result, or will Georgia's Pro Combats come back strong as the week comes to an end?
We have a couple of uniforms that are either pulling away from their opponent or were never threatened. West Virginia's all old-gold uniforms have a 31 point advantage on Bowling Green in the Maryland Region, while Maryland's yellow jerseys are crushing Stanford's all-black uniforms in the Oregon Region. Boise State's all-orange design is destroying Utah's military tribute uniforms in the Wyoming Region.
Here are the latest poll updates, as of Thursday morning (click on the match-up links to cast your votes):
Maryland Region
- No. 1 Maryland State Pride – 56.67%
No. 8 Michigan throwback – 43.33%
- No. 4 West Virginia old-gold – 65.38%
No. 12 Bowling Green – 34.62%
Wyoming Region
- No. 3 Wyoming – 55.56%
No. 11 Northwestern alternate – 44.44%
- No. 10 Boise State all-orange – 70.89%
No.15 Utah military tribute – 29.11%
Oregon Region
- No. 1 Georgia Pro Combat – 40.74%
No. 9 Pitt Pro Combat – 59.26%
- No. 5 Maryland yellow jersey – 85%
No. 13 Stanford all-black – 15%
Pro Combat Region
- No. 2 Miami Pro Combat – 63.64%
No. 10 Cal all-yellow – 36.36%
- No. 3 Colorado State yellow jerseys – 51.92%
No. 6 Michigan State Pro Combat – 48.08%
These polls will close on Saturday, with the next round set to begin next week. Be sure to make your vote for the worst of the worst count!

Hi there AliCC,
You may find the troubleshooting steps in the article below helpful.

Re: iCloud KeyChain on iOS 7.1 stuck on pending in response to griff w
Thanks griff w but unfortunately found nothing of help there.
"keeps asking me to approve security code and when I write it, it asks me again. And keeps repeating. I chose approve from other device (I have a MBA) but nothing appeared on it. The Keychain button in iOS setting says pending."
Exactly the same here.
The AppleSupport article is useless it skims by saying, "follow instructions on screen"
Essentially if you are stuck in this pending loop. You're stuck !
nam-mac Aug 8, 2014 2:06 PM
Re: iCloud KeyChain on iOS 7.1 stuck on pending in response to AliCC
What you'll probably have to do is reset your keychain. you can do that by going to (on your Mac) System Preferences > iCloud > select Keychain (and enter your password) > Use Code... > Forgot Code? > Reset Keychain...
Then you can go ahead and recreate your keychain from any device of your choosing (Mac, iPhone, iPad).
The device you choose will have it's keychain data uploaded to iCloud and be the master keychain that the rest of your devices will then merge with.
-hope that helps

Thank you! Finally, after an hour or troubleshooting, the first answer that ACTUALLY worked.

Real reviews, from customers like you.
Will visit again. We happy customer.
Fabulous place to stay, great facilities, warm friendly staff, can't wait to visit again!
not very happy about the lodge as complaints were not taken serious and went and seen the man in the reception more than once. what they did do was not what should have been done. as we are only there for a week they do not worry about sorting thing out. as the trailers are not owned by them
Super park, very well looked after
Great place to stay
Had a fantastic holiday at Praa Sands. We stayed in one of the luxury cabins and can't recommend it enough with beautiful views to the sea,and a high standard of comfort, luxury and facilities. Only used bar twice and staff friendly, food good but service a little slow. Used the swimming pool a few times and was fine. Reception staff were polite and some friendlier than others. Loved exploring around that part of Cornwall - visiting the stunning Kynance Cove, St Michael's Mount, Sennen Cove and even the Isles of Scilly. Would definitely stay again.
Very nice and clean site and friendly staff, however after reporting problems in the lodge more than once nothing was done about it. The food in the restuarant was good quality unfortunately small portions and a 50 minute wait in an empty place ? The facilities indoor pool etc. were very good however closed too early.
Fantastic place,very quiet and peaceful. Has everything you need to relax
Nice and peaceful, good location and we very much enjoyed our stay, the staff were on hand if needed and helpful.
Site evolving and more lodges going onto the area so would hate to think that what is now a very quiet place become very busy.
Excellent long weekend away. Would have been a 10 for facilities but the spa was not working again.
Only an 8 for value for money as like to stay in a premier lodge and it can be expensive.

First Chapter
Published: August 15, 2004
(Page 2 of 3)
After leaving Horasan, the bus turned north, heading directly for Kars. As it climbed the winding road, the driver had to slam on the brakes to avoid a horse and carriage that had sprung up out of nowhere on one of the hairpin bends, and Ka woke up. Fear had already fostered a strong fellow feeling among the passengers; before long, Ka too felt at one with them. Even though he was sitting just behind the bus driver, Ka was soon behaving like the passengers behind him: Whenever the bus slowed to negotiate a bend in the road or avoid going over the edge of a cliff, he stood up to get a better view; when the zealous passenger who'd committed himself to helping the driver by wiping the condensation from the windshield missed a corner, Ka would point it out with his forefinger (which contribution went unnoticed); and when the blizzard got so bad that the wipers could no longer keep the snow from piling up on the windshield, Ka joined the driver in trying to guess where the road was.
Once caked with snow, the road signs were impossible to read. When the snowstorm began to rage in earnest, the driver turned off his brights and dimmed the lights inside the bus, hoping to conjure up the road out of the semidarkness. The passengers fell into a fearful silence with their eyes on the scene outside: the snow-covered streets of destitute villages, the dimly lit, ramshackle one-story houses, the roads to farther villages that were already closed, and the ravines barely visible beyond the streetlamps. If they spoke, it was in whispers.
So it was in the gentlest of whispers that Ka's neighbor, the man onto whose shoulder Ka had fallen asleep earlier, asked him why he was traveling to Kars. It was easy to see that Ka was not a local.
"I'm a journalist," Ka whispered in reply. This was a lie. "I'm interested in the municipal elections-and also the young women who've been committing suicide." This was true.
"When the mayor of Kars was murdered, every newspaper in Istanbul ran the story," Ka's neighbor replied. "And it's the same for the women who've been committing suicide." It was hard for Ka to know whether it was pride or shame he heard in the man's voice. Three days later, standing in the snow on Halitpasa Avenue with tears streaming from his eyes, Ka was to see this slim handsome villager again.
During the desultory conversation that continued on and off for the rest of the bus journey, Ka found out that the man had just taken his mother to Erzurum because the hospital in Kars wasn't good enough, that he was a livestock dealer who served the villages in the Kars vicinity, that he'd been through hard times but hadn't become a rebel, and that-for mysterious reasons he did not disclose to Ka-he was sorry not for himself but for his country and was happy to see that a well-read, educated gentleman like Ka had taken the trouble to travel all the way from Istanbul to find out more about his city's problems. There was something so noble in the plainness of his speech and the pride of his bearing that Ka felt respect for him.
His very presence was calming. Not once during twelve years in Germany had Ka known such inner peace; it had been a long time since he had had the fleeting pleasure of empathizing with someone weaker than himself. He remembered trying to see the world through the eyes of a man who could feel love and compassion. As he did the same now, he no longer felt so fearful of the relentless blizzard. He knew they were not destined to roll off a cliff. The bus would be late, but it would reach its destination.
When, at ten o'clock at night, three hours behind schedule, the bus began its crawl through the snow-covered streets of Kars, Ka couldn't recognize the city at all. He couldn't even see the railroad station, where he'd arrived twenty years earlier by steam engine, nor could he see any sign of the hotel to which his driver had taken him that day (following a full tour of the city): the Hotel Republic, "a telephone in every room." It was as if everything had been erased, lost beneath the snow. He saw a hint of the old days in the horse-drawn carriages here and there, waiting in garages, but the city itself looked much poorer and sadder than he remembered. Through the frozen windows of the bus, Ka saw the same concrete apartments that had sprung up all over Turkey during the past ten years, and the same Plexiglas panels; he also saw banners emblazoned with campaign slogans strung above every street.
He stepped off the bus. As his foot sank into the soft blanket of snow, a sharp blast of cold air shot up past the cuffs of his trousers. He'd booked a room at the Snow Palace Hotel. When he went to ask the conductor where it was, he thought two of the faces among the travelers waiting for their luggage looked familiar, but with the snow falling so thick and fast he couldn't work out who they were.
He saw them again in the Green Pastures Café, where he went after setting into his hotel: a tired and careworn but still handsome and eye-catching man with a fat but animated woman who seemed to be his lifelong companion. Ka had seen them perform in Istanbul in the seventies, when they were leading lights of the revolutionary theater world. The man's name was Sunay Zaim. As he watched the couple, he let his mind wander and was eventually able to work out that the woman reminded him of a classmate from primary school. There were a number of other men at their table, and they all had the deathly pallor that speaks of a life on the stage; what, he wondered, was a small theater company doing in this forgotten city on a snowy night in February? Before leaving the restaurant, which twenty years ago had been full of government officials in coats and ties, Ka thought he saw one of the heroes of the seventies' militant left sitting at another table. But it was as if a blanket of snow had settled over his memories of this man, just as it had settled over the restaurant and the failing, gasping city itself.

I fell in love with the desert when I first came here several years ago. It has always been my dream to set up some roots in the desert and share my home with my family, friends and guests from around the world.
HARJIT GILL purchased this condo in 2012
I created a home with a casualness, an elegance and most importantly with a relaxing feeling. A home away from home.
Location is key in this 2nd floor unit, it is only steps from the pool and steps from the immaculate tennis courts. Great views of the beautiful mountains from the patio and master bedroom. Love the 300+ palm trees within the unit.
We had a wonderful time here over Thanksgiving with our family. It was a multi-generational trip: my husband and I, our 7-year-old daughter, and my mom. There was plenty of room for all of us; the condo was clean and well-furnished; the pool/hot tub were clean and wonderful. Harjit was great to work with from the very beginning. Would definitely recommend!
This condo is well laid out with lots of space for 4 people. Nice and clean. Surrounding amenities are good. Close to public golf course (5 minute drive). Walking distance (5-10 minutes) to Trader Joes and Target for groceries and Starbucks for coffee. Central to Old Palm Springs downtown area ($20 cab ride) and El Paseo drive shopping area. Tennis courts are well kept, the concierge provided tennis racquets and balls which was nice. Payment arrangements and receiving keys for the unit went smoothly.
We had a great time and the weather was perfect....80's everyday. We were at the pool everyday and had it completely to ourselves. The pool was very close to the condo (which is on the 2nd floor) so very convenient. Yes you do need to carry your chairs down each day, but we got used to that. The condo is decorated very tastefully and was well equipped. We were disappointed about no BBQ, but being on the 2nd floor I understand. We are totally sun people so at this time of year there was no sun hitting the small terrace, so we did need to go to the pool for all of our sun fix...but other than that all was good....
This was a wonderful and pleasurable stay. Mig kept in contact from the moment I inquired about his home. The home is very spacious and comfortable. The great perk was the pool, hot tub, and in apartment laundry. It was great when we wanted to have our own private swim. The complex also had super nice neighbors. It was a quiet and peaceful location, with everything nearby. The home was furnished lovely and was very comfortable. I would definitely recommend his place for a stay in Palm Springs, and will be choosing this place again next year!!
DELIGHTFUL - is the best word for this condo. It is tastefully updated and decorated as well as spacious and comfortable. Having two large bedrooms and two full bathrooms makes it practical for more than 2 people. Also have a full kitchen and laundry facilities on premise makes it feel like a home away from home. Being one block from the bus which runs along Highway 111 from Palm Springs to Indio allowes those without a vehicle to cover a large area with lots of shopping and restaurants. We look forward to our next stay.
I stayed for a month between November and December and the condo was just perfect for me. Very nicely furnished and easy to settle into. I loved the tile showers and the unlimited hot water. The beds are comfortable and there is an enormous amount of closet space. The pool and hot tub were always on, always warm and I virtually had them to myself during the entire stay. The kitchen is fully stocked and has everything you need for a full dinner party. I spent most of my time working in the condo, punctuated by frequent walks, swims and visits to the local restaurants. Very delightful. The condo is upstairs on a corner - away from the pool, so there is virtually no noise to put up with. Trader Joe's and Target are just a few blocks away and an easy walk over to pick up some daily grocery or misc items.

When Mike Smith started the 2013 season, his first game was a last second loss to New Orleans.

While Smith and his coaches could not right the ship. And things now need to be fixed.There is plenty of depth in free agency with good talent to come in and help this team succeed.The Falcons will heal all their wounds, but can the team get over losing Tony Gonzalez, correct a sad pass rush and rejuvenate a running game.Here are five players this team must take a shot at to help this team get back to the playoffs.Eugene MonroeThis was a serious problem last season.

Hi Team Titleist. I am going to try out for my high school golf team. I know I can make it, but I get nervous when I play with people I don't know. Because of that my game can go bad. Is there any way to help get over these nerves?
Thanks Chris
Another thing to try it to while you are practicing envision yourself on the first hole of your try out round. Try to recreate the nerves and deal with it while you are by yourself on the practice range. Play the whole round during your practice sessions(Each shot of the 18 holes). once off the driving range do the same thing on the putting greens. Imagine the pressure on your putts. As you are lining up a twelve footer, for instance , imagine this it the putt you need to make to make the team. If you do this each time you practice by the time you get to the first tee you will own the moment because you have dealt with it many many times before. You will also be very confident because you have succeeded many times before while practicing. Good Luck on making the team. Just relax and play your game.
Can't say it any better then Chris did. I too had the same feeling my freshmen year in high school. But those nerves quickly went away after the first couple of matches that I played. Just play your own game and don't worry about what their scores are and remember, you are playing on a team and not just for yourself. Best of luck to You in your High School career and I truly hope you finish your career like I did, Team MVP. What a feeling it was to receive that reward in front of everyone. 31 years later, I still have it.
David K.
Chris above said it perfectly...
I also played on my high school golf team and I had a problem with my folks watching believe it or not. I could shoot fairly well just going to matches, whenever my folks were able to show up, I was trying so hard to impress them my game suffered.
Be yourself, find out what you have to do to block out your surroundings and concentrate on your game. Might be as easy as finding a tune to get stuck in your head, sunflower seeds or a blowing bubbles with your favorite gum. I just relax take a deep breath and smile before I hit these days, works for me. Find out what works for you! Good luck and keep em in the fairway!

Water restrictions start May 1st
For me. I can water ONLY on Sunday, Wednesday and Friday, before 10 a.m. and after 5 p.m. Unless I have a drip system, (or a watering can!) and then I can water all day I guess, no mid-day ban for me. Oh, and no watering whatsoever on Monday, my only guaranteed day off...
So..... I guess I'll be getting some more soaker hoses, as I don't know HOW to set up a drip system yet (working on learning how though, PDQ!) and watering a section at night. Gah.
I know it's rational, needed, and important - and I have no lawn, so that's a good thing - but, nooooooooooo!
I had a running toilet fixed. It probably used more water than my rose watering. Except for the babies, my landscaping is established and I water once a week. Last summer I watered too long and will need to keep an eye on it. Most of it is manual and I need to remember to move the sprinkler. 80% of my yard is oaks and they don't get watered.
