Hammer HEED is a step up from standard powder sports drinks. Hammer HEED is for endurance athletes looking to get the most out of their workout. Hammer realized that a problem with standard sports drinks is that they rely on simple sugars as the carbohydrate source. The use of simple sugar such as glucose, sucrose, and fructose not only severely limits the amount of calories that can be efficiently digested and utilized for energy; it causes fluctuations in your energy level. HEED avoids this by using a complex carbohydrate formula that allows you to obtain the proper amount of calories in a consistent prolonged manner. The consistency ensures your stomach isn't distressed. The added chromium polynicotinate helps to maintain stable blood glucose levels and I- carmosine buffers lactic acid. HEED is in a class of its own in the world of powered sports drinks.

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Hammer Heed Drink Mix - 32 Serving:
Right off the bat this product gets 5 stars. I have been using it for a long time and it works awesome when you are using it correctly. It's basically another drink intended for hydration. The Mandarin Orange flavored electrolyte powder tastes the best.
I use the Heed almost daily, whether I am riding or not it's that good. I use it along with other Hammer products when riding but this is my main weapon.
I put almost 2 full scoops in a taller water bottle and freeze it the night before a long ride. I mt bike almost 15 miles a day or every other day. I bring my pack with regular water and as the bottle defrosts through the ride I take regular drinks off of the Heed bottle. It works very affectively. I also use the Hammer Electrolyte Pills to help as well.
For added hydration and help for the ride I squeeze a Hammer gel Montana Huckleberry packet into the bottle prior to freezing.( Shhh, this is my secret recipe) It helps with even more sustainability on long rides and where weather is a factor.
It works very well later in the day after your ride when sitting around and you start to get a bit thirsty also. I hope this helps, it is truly a one of those products to have and as with most Hammer products they work well with other items by Hammer.

Comments about Hammer Nutrition Hammer Heed Drink Mix - 32 Serving:
I use Hammer Heed during workouts lasting more than one hour and during Ironman events. It's easy on my stomach so I feel like I can drink freely, without rationing. The only negative comment I have is that the powder does not totally dissolve and I get small (brown) grains in my mouth. It's not a deal breaker but I'd prefer to have it dissolve a bit better.

Holy Cross Project in New Orleans
Help New Orleans rebuild green following Hurricane Katrina by building a sustainable neighborhood with affordable housing and a community center in the Lower Ninth Ward of New Orleans, one of the neighborhoods hardest hit by the devastating storm. View project infographic.
After the devastation of Hurricane Katrina and the inadequate response of the US Government, Global Green USA made a dedicated commitment to sustainable building in New Orleans and the Gulf Coast. As part of that commitment, Global Green, in partnership with Brad Pitt, sponsored an international design competition during the summer of 2006. The Holy Cross Project was designed for five single-family homes, an 18-unit apartment building, and a community center/sustainable design and climate action center. The goal of the project was to achieve LEED Platinum standards (LEED for Home for the single family homes and LEED ND for the other buildings).
We received more than 125 entries competing to design a zero energy affordable housing development in the Holy Cross Neighborhood of the Lower 9th Ward. Matthew Berman and Andrew Kotchen of Workshop/apd in New York created the winning design. With the support of Lead Funding Partner Home Depot Foundation, Global Green worked with workshop/apd and a dedicated and highly skilled team of sustainable design and building experts together with the Holy Cross Neighborhood Association to translate the winning development proposal into a reality. More about the competition.
By using solar panels, high performance building design, HVAC systems, a Building Dashboard(R) energy and resource monitoring systems, and energy-efficient appliances, the buildings in the Holy Cross Project use at least 75% less energy than typical buildings.
COMPLETE - Single Family Homes: The first home, finished in May 2008, currently serves as a Visitor Center for developers, contractors, and residents to learn how to rebuild green. The remaining four LEED Platinum homes were sold to local residents in 2012 and save the residents an estimated $1200 to $2400 a year in utility bills. Using advanced monitoring systems in the home, residents can see their energy and resource consumption in real time, and if they choose, modify their behavior to further lower energy costs. Modest homeowner association fees allow for residents to turn to the project manager to ensure the rain water harvesting, geothermal, solar and other systems are maintained properly and will continue to maximize savings.
CURRENT PHASE - Community Center: The Community Development and Climate Action Center, currently under construction, will feature a community services (e.g., ATM, fresh food market, etc.), a Visitor's and Green Building Resource Center, an arts and cultural component, and an emergency center. For emergency needs, a rain water harvesting system will collect water (with filtration bringing it to drinking water standards), and solar panels on the roof of the Center will charge batteries that will provide power for emergency refrigeration (for medicines, etc.), lights and mobile phones in case residents are left without power or are unable to evacuate in an emergency.
18-Unit Apartment Building: The green affordable housing building will include outstanding views of the Mississippi River and downtown New Orleans, 75% to 90% lower energy bills and all the benefits healthy indoor air quality. These restricted income units will make it possible for low income residents and families to enjoy these unique apartments. Global Green USA will seek applications from displaced residents of the 9th Ward.
Sustainable Design and Climate Action Institute: As a centerpiece of the project and Global Green's ongoing presence in New Orleans, the institute would be a "Center of Excellence" for the rebuilding of the Gulf Coast that demonstrate all aspects of green building appropriate for the climate zone, while providing opportunities for sharing knowledge across the United States, and even globally. This will also be a gathering place for information, knowledge, and leadership generated by the sustainable design and green building activity in and around New Orleans and the response to Hurricane Katrina. University and research institute alliances will tie academic and professional programs tied to its ongoing work and focus. The monitoring of the buildings will also allow the institute to study the performance energy systems, energy conservation, IAQ, water efficiency, and system monitoring.
Outdoor Space: The interior courtyard will provide an outdoor gathering area for residents. A pathway through the project to the Mississippi River will have an interpretative learning component and children's education area that connect to the river levee, community center, visitor's center, and other sustainable landscaping features such as stormwater runoff capture and cisterns. These elements will be tied to the Visitor's Center and be part of the experience for those that come to see the project.

Schools awarded for students' academic progress

Nick Adams / The Herald
Marysville Middle School science teacher Wanzellia Clark helps a group of students with a science lesson on the seasons and rotation of the Earth on Monday. The school was recognized for narrowing the achievement gap between students in disadvantaged families and their peers.
The state annually recognizes the top 5 percent of public schools making academic progress. Statewide, 381 schools received Washington Achievement Awards this spring, including 29 schools in Snohomish County.
The awards recognize general excellence, good test scores in reading, writing, math and science, improved graduation rates, notable progress in large populations of students from low-income families and in schools where the gaps in achievement between disadvantaged students and their peers are closing.
Marysville Middle School got its award for narrowing that gap.
The majority of the school's 865 students are from low-income families. About 40 percent are minorities.
In 2009, only 51 percent of the Marysville Middle's eighth-graders met state standards in reading, the lowest score in the school district. By 2012, 71 percent of eighth-graders met the reading standards. That's a 20 percentage point increase. Likewise, in math, the scores went from 33 percent of eighth-graders meeting state standards in 2009 to 60 percent in 2012, an increase of 27 points.
During the same time, the average scores in the district went up only 3 percentage points in reading and 12 points in math. Statewide, the average was a loss of .3 percentage points in reading and a gain of 5 points in math.
Marysville Middle School Principal Susan Hegeberg is adamant that her teachers "don't teach to the test" to get those results.
Instead, Hegeberg said, it's a matter of focusing on getting kids up to state standards in a rigorous academic environment that includes extra math and reading classes for those who need it. Lessons are made relevant to the students and critical thinking is encouraged. Teachers collaborate on curriculum projects and student behavior problems. Above all, the teachers have a dogged, parentlike concern for students.
The staff at Marysville Middle has worked very hard, said Assistant Superintendent Gail Miller.
"The award for closing the achievement gap is, I believe, one of the most difficult to get," Miller said. "This kind of progress requires the efforts of every staff member to support a school-wide focus on achievement. The entire community should be very proud of this continuing success."
Dana Wojcik has been a science teacher for seven years. She previously worked in the pharmaceutical industry. In her classroom, she calls her students "scientists."
"They take that seriously because they aren't mimics who copy and memorize information. They are mapping the universe and figuring out their gene pool. They absorb the information and come to their own conclusions," Wojcik said. "What we study is real and pertains to their lives."
Tyler Mann teaches language arts. Standardized tests are not scary in this school because the students focus on reading and writing all the time, Mann said.
One of his classes is titled Literacy Lift. The students started the year reading anywhere from a second-grade level to a fifth-grade level. Despite the differences in abilities, the students study the same topics. They read a lot of nonfiction, history and science.
"The school got the award because we read all the time, every day," said student Kailea Warouw, 12. "We challenge ourselves. We get better."
Robert East used to offer science and math to gifted students. Now he teaches a "second dose" math class. East talks about baseball game statistics in order to engage kids who struggle, and he got the kids to learn fractions by helping them make flowerboxes.
"We use math to build stuff," said student Angel Reyes, 12, who made two large planter boxes that are connected by a bench. "It's better than doing math problems from a book."
Working with disadvantaged children is about social justice, East said.
"Many of the teachers here are first-generation high school and college graduates," he said. "We know that learning is about perseverance. And if we don't get to these kids now, it will be much harder for them to break the cycle of poverty."
School volunteer and parent Sandy Leerhoff has watched the improvement at Marysville Middle School.
"The achievement award is well-deserved. I know how hard these teachers work," Leerhoff said. "One of most important changes the school made was starting what they call the Power Period. This advisory time has made a huge difference."
During the first 25 minutes of each day, students get help to finish their homework. They make up tests, organize their work binders and generally get extra attention.
"It's a time when kids take ownership of their work under the teacher's watchful eye," language arts teacher Che-Mai Gray said. "They know I am going to be on them like a mom. I push them to work harder because I care and because failure is not an option. The students know we have their backs."
Gray and her teaching partner Karin Hoover have spent all of their 13-year careers at Marysville Middle. They, too, have seen the progress of the past few years.
"We also got to this point because we are creative and we like to have fun with the kids," Hoover said. "We are generous with praise."
Principal Hegeberg said the job to get scores up at Marysville Middle isn't complete, but she hasn't needed a new staff to offer a new approach at her school.
"In our society we need to build our teachers up," Hegeberg said. "At this school, the teachers have many gifts and talents. We have no money for special programs, but our teachers are allowed creativity and so we work in the arts and other subjects as part of the curriculum."
Eighth-grader Shawn Burton agrees. This week he created a 3-D model of an airplane on the computer. He already knows he wants to go into computer engineering.
"We got the achievement award because the teachers care about the students," Shawn said. "They know what the students need. They want to bring us into the real world."

The creation of the Department of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection is designated in Wisconsin Statutes.
Wisconsin Statutes, Chapter 15.13, Department of agriculture, trade and consumer protection; creation
There is created a department of agriculture, trade and consumer protection under the direction and supervision of the board of agriculture, trade and consumer protection. The board shall consist of 7 members with an agricultural background and 2 members who are consumer representatives, appointed for staggered 6-year terms. Appointments to the board shall be made without regard to party affiliation, residence or interest in any special organized group.
The specific duties of the Secretary of Agriculture, Trade, and Consumer Protection are outlined in Chapter 93.07 of the Wisconsin state code.
Some of the main duties of the office include: [3]

N.C. Rep. Michael Speciale, R-Craven, has introduced a bill in the House that would keep tolls off ferry routes on the Neuse and Pamlico rivers, and N.C. Sen. Norman Sanderson, R-Pamlico, said he plans to introduce a more comprehensive bill aimed at achieving the same end.
The current state budget calls for tolls to be placed on the Cherry Branch-Minnesott ferry and the Aurora-Bayview ferry beginning July 1. It also increases fees on other long-distance ferries. The Hatteras-Ocracoke and Knotts Island-Currituck ferries — used mostly by summer tourists — would continue to be free to all riders.
Speciale said research showed tolls on the
"None of it makes much economic sense to me, and I wasn't born last night," said Speciale, who represents Craven, Pamlico and Beaufort counties, districts where the
Speciale said his main complaint against the current plans for tolls on the currently free routes is that they harm the working commuters who make up the large percentage of Cherry Branch and Aurora riders.
"If we're going to have tolls, it makes sense to charge the tourists and not the
According to the Ferry Division, about 91 percent of vehicles on the Cherry Branch route have in-state license plates, with many drivers commuting to work at Cherry Point or other locations, Speciale said.
"They are people going to work. You're not going to get a lot of tourists on these ferries," he said. "On the Hatteras and the
About 57 percent of vehicles on the Hatteras-Ocracoke route have out-of-state license plates, according to the Ferry Division.
"I don't like them going for free while our citizens are paying," Speciale said. "If they wanted all four of them to be toll-free, I have no problem with that, if they wanted to leave it just the way it was.
"The purpose of my bill is if you are going to try and raise money off of them, then you need to raise the money off the ones where the tourists are at and not the ones where the commuters are riding. That's the whole gist of it. The other legislators may put in amendments to exempt all four of them, and I don't have a problem with that."
Speciale's bill is currently in committee.
"This bill may morph a couple of times before it hits the floor but the bottom line is that I'm going to do everything that I can do so that when it does hit the floor both of these are exempted from the ferry tolls," Speciale said.
He said there may be a need for tolls in the future, but with the current economy, now was not the time.
"This is not the time to even consider something like this," he said. "If you're going to cut, sometimes it's going to be in your backyard. I don't see it at any time in the near future, but at some point down the line everybody needs to realize that if the legislature is going to continue to cut spending and reduce the size of government, some of these things will have to be paid for. This is certainly not the time."
Sanderson said that while he supported the spirit of Speciale's bill, he would introduce his own in the Senate.
"I'm going to come at it from a little different angle, so we'll have two bills working for the same end result," Sanderson said. "I haven't filed mine yet because I want my bill to be a little bit more comprehensive as to how we go about this. I'm looking at putting in my bill some cost-saving measures to help offset the money that the legislature directed the ferry to raise because I think that that needs to also be a part of it."
Sanderson said that while more tourists may use the Outer Banks ferries, a lot of workers use them as well.
"I understand on those two ferries out there that they have a lot more tourists than we do and to bear the brunt of that, but at the same time there are workers out there that depend on those ferries for the same thing that my folks depend on our ferries for," said Sanderson, who uses the ferry to get from his Pamlico County home to his daycare business in Havelock. "I'm hoping that we can come up with a little bit more comprehensive bill that will make it easier on all of us that use those ferries for work just as I do."
The General Assembly mandated in 2011 that the N.C. Department of Transportation increase ferry revenues $5 million a year annually; but in 2012, then Gov. Bev Perdue put a one-year moratorium on rate increases and new fees.
The 2012-13 budget that passed in June included tolls and toll increases that would take effect July 1 of this year.
For Cherry Branch, fees would be $1 for car passengers and pedestrians, $2 for bikes, $3 for motorcycles, $4 for cars less than 20 feet, $8 for vehicles 20 to 40 feet and $12 for vehicles more than 40 feet in length. An annual commuter pass for a vehicle 20 feet or less would by $150.
For the
For the Cedar Island-Ocracoke route, the current $15 fee for an average size vehicle to cross will jump to $27 plus $5 for every passenger older than 13. For a family of four, the cost jumps to as much as $42 for a one-way trip versus the current $15 charge today.

This year's award winners are as follows:
Player of the Year:
Riley Loewen – Limestone
Senior attack Riley Loewen earns his second career Conference Carolinas Player of the Year honor and his first outright. He shared the award in 2011 and this year's award represents four straight years that Limestone has had the league's top player. On the season Loewen leads the Saints in goals (40), assists (24) and points (64). He is second in the league in both points and goals and ranks third in the country in points and fifth in goals per game. His efforts have led Limestone to a No. 2 overall national ranking and the second best win percentage in the country.
Defender of the Year:
Jeff Konko - Pfeiffer
Jeff Konko has played in all 14 games for the Falcons leading the men to a No. 8 national ranking and 11-3 regular season record anchoring a defensive line that allows just eight goals a game. Konko has picked up 42 groundballs and caused 14 turnovers on defense while adding a goal and assist on the offensive side of the field.
Freshman of the Year:
Connor Sellars – Belmont Abbey

Announced at PMA 2009, the Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM Canon wide-angle zoom lens features a constant f/3.5 maximum aperture (EX) and is equipped with a hypersonic motor (HSM).
This lens was specially designed for APS-C-format cameras. Three of its four aspherical lenses are made of low-dispersion glass elements — specifically, 2 ELD (extraordinary low dispersion) lenses and 1 SLD (special low dispersion) lens.
Its minimum focus distance is 24cm, regardless of focal length, and the maximum reproduction ratio is 1: 6.5.
What we liked:
What we didn't like:
For this selection, Sigma ends up in second place behind the Nikon with a DxOMark score of 12 points vs 13 points, respectively. (Keep in mind that the Nikon was announced one month after the Sigma.)
As for the Canon, it takes third place on the podium with a DxOMark score of only 9 points. (In fairness, the Canon is more than five years old.)
The Sigma's strong points compared to its competitors:
The Sigma's weak points compared to its competitors:
Full measurements for the Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM
Full measurements for the Nikon AF-S DX Nikkor 10-24mm f/3.5-4.5G ED
To provide photographers with a broader perspective about mobiles, lenses and cameras, here are links to articles, reviews, and analyses of photographic equipment produced by DxOMark, renown websites, magazines or blogs.
The Sigma 10-20mm F3.5 EX DC HSM, which came out in March 2009, completes Sigma's Pro (EX) line.

Which approach is better when working with a source control software like TFS or VSS? I have experienced different approaches and I can't tell which one is better. Should we let developers decide upon it? Or should a team has a unique strategy for check-in check-out operations?
Commit early, commit often so that you don't lose data.
Branch early, branch often (for features), merge often so that you don't annoy your colleagues with lots of tiny commits to their branches when they don't want them.
Don't break the build - being the "stable" branch of your current development project from which internal releases and/or "continuous integration" builds are made.
Use a distributed VCS such as Mercurial or Git so you can enjoy the features of a local repository on your own PC. Don't forget to have back-ups of this, either by physically creating backups of your local repository, or by having a centrally managed and back-upped repository to which you can commit your local changes, in your own branch, with your own strategy.
It depends on your general branching strategy.
When you do feature branching or developers have private branches, then they should be encouraged to check in frequently. It does not matter, as their branch is only merged into the main branch when it is stable.
When other developers are working on the same branch, then the developer should check nothing in that breaks things for others, so larger commits are probably preferable to small and potentially dangerous ones in such scenarios.
In general, a developer should not check-in code that breaks the build and personally I'd say, that you can check-in code whenever the current set of unit-tests is statisfied.
Check in in logical chunks. It helps to review the code when you view commit annotations.
It's easier to read: "Commit A: Added class X", "Commit B: Fixed bug Y", than to view: "Commit A: 10 bug-fixes, 5 new classes, few experimental features, and last, but not the least, source code formatting changes :evilgrin:", or "Commit A: Experimental features, checkin to avoid data loss, I'll delete it later, I promise".
Check in frequently enough so you don't lose too much work when your machine breaks, and that merging your changes doesn't become too difficult when you do check in.
Check in infrequently enough that your individual commits encompass a tangible amount of progress and, of course, leave the repository in a consistent state - compileable at the very least, ideally passing all unit tests.
It's not necessary to complete a feature before checking in. While not doing so may require some "cheating" with unit tests, it's better than not checking in for a week or more, risking to lose all that work, and finally facing an impossible merge.
Checking in early is not to prevent data loss. It's about integrating early. The longer you wait with your code, the longer someone else may be working on legacy code - something you did something with but did not share.
Depends on your VCS and it's capabilities, especially merge. As eleuded to by @MadKeithV, if you use GIT or Mecurial, using local clones, commit early and often. If you use dinasours such as CVS and SVN as you main repo, then less often can be an advantage, and consider replacements.
Theres good reason to use GIT locally and deliver upto a central repo (Can be GIT/CVS/SVN or almost anything you want) at approiate times. Even better, some devs can adopt this practice and not need to force it on those that don't want it.
Devs should have some say, and the scheme needs to be fexible. We have a rule, no broken code. Incomplete code is OK, but must 'fail' in an obvious way (i.e. Unit Test not passing) and clearly be incomplete - half baked commits are dangerous.
It has to work for the Team, and each team is different.

Contractors say upsurge in MACs leads to duplication, added costs
Friday - 11/16/2012, 8:50pm EST
(Correction: An earlier version of this story misstated the simplified acquisition threshold.)
The Coalition for Government Procurement has called on senior administration leaders to take more action to combat increasing contract duplication, largely from the spread of multiple-award contracts (MACs).
Member companies say they are seeing more duplicated contracts and that has added to their costs, according to a CGP survey.
The group's president, Roger Waldron, summarized the survey results in a letter to Joe Jordan, the administrator of the Office of Federal Procurement Policy; Richard Ginman, the director of the Defense Department's Defense Procurement and Acquisition Policy (DPAP); and Anne Rung, the chief acquisition adviser at the General Services Administration.
The prevalence of MACs, in which companies are awarded a spot on a contract and then compete for individual task orders, has increasingly led to duplication — a multitude of contracts all offering the same or very similar products and services.
That spells inefficiency, redundancy and, ultimately, drives up costs across the board, according to the group.
"When both the government and private companies invest in duplicative contracts, the result is increased government and contractor administrative, bid and proposal costs without added value for the American taxpayer," Waldron wrote in the letter. "Overlapping, redundant contracts also have to be managed by both the public and private sectors causing inefficiencies within and across federal agencies and in companies for the life of these contracts."
MACs have proliferated
It's no secret, MACS are spreading. A 2010 Federal News Radio special report identified the problem at a tipping point even then.
But agencies have continued to use the vehicles. In fiscal 2011, agencies spent $83.2 billion using 1,182 MACs, nearly double what agencies spent on 427 such contracts in 2006, according to Bloomberg Government.
The companies CGP surveyed have noticed the trend. According to the group's survey, 77 percent of respondents said in the last 12 months alone, they have noticed an increase in contract duplication regarding the products and services they provide. Meanwhile, 40 percent of respondents said they manage at least 15 such duplicative contracts.
Costs to the companies
Participating in duplicative contracts comes at a price, according to 88.5 percent of the survey respondents. For example, contractors must become acquainted with multiple systems and varying reporting and management requirements.
Duplicated efforts also stem from marketing materials supporting the various contracts and maintaining multiple e-commerce sites and sales efforts.
Total costs vary by company size, according to the group. But large companies reported spending more than $2 million for each contract that duplicated similar ones under the regular GSA schedules.
Aside from the added costs to companies, the group also said the benefits to the government are less than clear.
"Duplicative contracts add no real value to the federal market since, by their very nature, these contracts provide for products and services already available under governmentwide contracts such as the GSA schedules, the IT GWACs and other pre-existing, multi-agency contracts," the report stated.
OFPP has long sought to get a better grip on MACs. In September 2011, OFPP admonished agencies to slow down the growth of governmentwide contracts and instituted new business-case mandates on contracts projected to exceed $250 million in spending.
But it's not entirely clear the new approval process has been effective.
In an interview with Bloomberg Government in June, OFPP Administrator Joe Jordan said no proposed MACs have been rejected because of the new review process.
CGP called on the administration to strengthen its business-case directive, in part, by lowering the threshold for review to $150,000 — the simplified acquisition threshold.
For procurements exceeding that amount, "contracting officers should be required to document and explain why existing contract vehicles do not meet the agency's needs prior to establishing new contracts," the letter stated. "This explanation should specifically address why creating a new contract is the best procurement method to meet the government's needs."
Waldron hosts a weekly show, "Off the Shelf," on Federal News Radio.

Cook CountyJURY SERVICE: Tips For Citizens
When summoned for jury service, read the summons carefully and follow the instructions for reporting to court. Jury service is an important civic responsibility and is one of the highest duties a citizen can perform in a democracy. Your voice as a juror is needed to ensure fairness and justice in our community.
Expect to get paid. In Minnesota, jurors are paid and reimbursed for travel. Daycare expenses are reimbursed for jurors who qualify.
As a juror, you should be prepared to spend time waiting. Knowing that jurors are in the courthouse and ready to render a verdict often encourages parties to enter a plea or resolve a case without going to trial.
Bring things to do while you are waiting. Books, magazines, newspapers, needlework, cards and other quiet activities are appropriate.
Don't take it personally if you are not selected as a juror for a trial. Voir dire (the process of selecting a jury) is designed to examine a large number of potential jurors and then to select a smaller number to serve on a trial. Lawyers have many reasons for not choosing a person for a jury. Not being selected does not imply that you lack ability or honesty. You may be selected for a different trial.
All jurors names are selected at random by computer from a combined list of registered voters and licensed drivers.To register to vote, call your county auditor or city clerk and ask to have an application mailed to you. For information about getting a Minnesota Driver's License, call your local Department of Public Safety office.
It's important that your address is accurate and up-to-date.

Women's Volleyball Makes Up for Earlier Loss to Barton; Scores 3-0 Sweep in Wilson on Friday
October 15, 2010
WILSON, N.C. Pfeiffer University hit .333 as a team to sweep Barton College 3-0 (25-21, 25-19, 25-23) in Conference Carolinas womens volleyball action on Friday night. The victory avenges an earlier home loss to the Bulldogs last month as the Lady Falcons improve to 5-12 overall, 5-5 in league play while the Bulldogs drop to 11-10, 7-4 with the loss.
Kristina Mordini (Freeport, IL) put down a match-high 22 kills hitting .436 in the win. Jordan O'Bryant (Reidsville, NC) and Abbie Ovbey (Mt. Gilead, NC) each followed with nine. Setter Colleen Wands (Apex, NC) had a match-high 41 assists while libero Kaci Markham led the way in the dig department with an even dozen.
Barton received 10 kills apiece by Melissa Ritter and Meagan Parrott. Carly Love helped the hitters out with 30 assists on the night while six different Lady Bulldogs had at-least three digs.
As a team, the numbers in the hitting category got better as the night went on for the Lady Falcons. Set one saw the visitors hit .282 followed by .324 in the middle and .395 to complete the sweep. Pfeiffer will now continue their weekend trip up north with a 2:00 p.m. matinee matchup at Mount Olive on Saturday.

Keon Roach previously didn't know what neutering meant.
Thursday, he got to witness it.
On the final run of the job shadowing program for the county's three public high schools, it was Kinston High School students' turn at a direct glance into potential future careers.
More than 50 businesses hosted 89 students for the Career and Technical EducationJob Shadowing Day Thursday. From the local hospital and police force to hair salons and bakeries, 10th through 12th graders selected to spend the morning with professionals in their prospective career areas.
For senior Roach, it was zoology.
"(Shadowing a veterinarian) makes me kind of want to do it more," said Roach, who participated in his first shadow day program. "(Veterinarian medicine) is part of what I want to do. Zoology is something similar to what vets do, but they're doing it with wild animals."
Roach assisted veterinarian Jimmy Shaver during a neutering procedure at Northside Hospital on Thursday morning. A second student, Taylor Gray, 16, looked on. She's always had a love for animals, which has compelled her career choice.
"Some of my expectations were to learn what vets really do, see what a vet's office really looks like and see what machines they use," said Gray, a junior interesting in veterinarian medicine. "So far, I've learned a lot."
She volunteers at the local Society for Prevention of Cruelty to Animals and said the shadow day is a chance for students to weigh their job options.
"Sometimes, you come out here and might not like the experience," Gray said. "If you come out here to the job that you want to do … then you'll see what it's really like, and you'll see if you really like it or don't like it."
Jessica Shimer, the career day's coordinator, said in the past six years of the program, students have been able to either weed out or solidify their futures.
She recalled former KHS student Resita Cox credited shadowing Free Press reporters for choosing to major in journalism.
Additionally, Shimer said students are responsible for taking their experiences to the next step.
"You've got to take it further," she said, "but we've opened doors for you."
Shimer said she recruits businesses to commit to all three dates at the beginning of the school year at North Lenoir and South Lenoir High Schools also participate.
"This is the first time Kinston's done it in the spring," Shimer said. "I have chosen to rotate the schools now. That is very unique."
Shaver said a distinctive part of the shadowing activities for him would be reminiscing on his own high school days. He said each year, the vet's office hosts several students interested in the field.
"You can go into research, sales, specialty practices — just a number of things," Shaver said. "I try to get in these guys' head there's more to veterinarian medicine than what I do."

Lindsay, Mendoza and Oliver Singles Victories Clinch 5-4 Win for Women's Tennis at Barton
March 16, 2013
WILSON, N.C. - Sophomore Meredith Pruden was the only Barton College womens tennis player to win at both singles and doubles in a narrow 5-4 Conference Carolinas home loss to Pfeiffer University on Saturday afternoon at the Barton Tennis Complex. The Falcons won for an eighth consecutive time, improving to 8-3 overall. Pfeiffer remained one of three undefeated teams in conference play with a league ledger of 4-0. The Lady Bulldogs slipped to 7-4 and 4-2.
Pruden teamed up with freshman Smiljana Kljajic for a 8-1 win in the middle doubles match. Pruden and Kljajics win was more impressive in that it ended a seven-match win streak for Pfeiffers duo of Hannah Watson and Chelsi Haefele. Both tandems of Pruden-Kljajic and Watson-Haefele finished the day with 8-2 doubles records.
The Falcons did hold a 2-1 lead heading into singles by winning the other two doubles matches. The teams of Taylor Lindsay-Valerie Mendoza and Briana Oliver-Melinda Athay won 8-1 and 8-4, respectively, at No. 1 and No. 3.
Pfeiffer clinched the match at 5-1 with the first three singles wins. Lindsay was victorious atop the Falcons lineup winning 7-5, 6-2. Mendoza tallied a 6-3, 6-2 win at No. 3 and Oliver rolled 6-1, 6-2 at No. 5.
Mendoza has won eight straight times and has the Falcons best singles record of 9-1.
The Lady Bulldogs closed the final margin of defeat to just one point by rallying to win three super set tiebreakers.
Sophomore Alicia Lasry bounced back from a slow start with two dominating sets to win 5-7, 6-1, 10-1 in the second slot in Bartons lineup. Pruden recorded her second win of the day in the fourth flight with a 6-7 (4), 6-1, 11-9 conquest. Junior Kristy Lievense logged another win at the bottom of the Bulldogs lineup fighting back for a 4-6, 6-4, 11-9 win.
Pruden (8-3) has a team-high eight wins for Barton while Lasry (7-3) and Lievense (6-2) both boast winning records in dual matches.
Pfeiffer gets back to action on Sunday afternoon in a quick-turnaround taking on Mount Olive at 1:00 p.m.

Q: I'm undergoing chemo, and though I am experiencing heavy-duty fatigue, I am also suffering from insomnia! Sometimes it's hard to fall asleep; other nights I wake up around 3 a.m. for an hour or two. My medical oncologist said chemo can disrupt the sleep-wake cycle and prescribed Ambien. I don't like the idea of relying on a sleeping pill. Anything else I can do?
Answer from Miles Hassell, M.D., director of Providence Integrative Medicine at Providence Cancer Center:
Cancer Care is a national nonprofit that provides free, professional support services for anyone affected by cancer.
Oncologist-approved cancer information from the American Society of Clinical Oncology

Built for Skiers. The Atomic Skiwear Lookbook 14/15.
The WC Skate FL is the lightest and fastest cross-country ski that Atomic has ever made. Two versions have been available since last winter. In addition to the Hard Track, which showcases its strengths on hard snow, there is the new World Cup Skate FL Soft Track, which has convincing unique qualities on soft to mixed surfaces.
"The Soft Track is my first choice because it has great acceleration and glides smoothly," says biathlete Dominik Landertinger. Last season he was a constant champion of the ski's advantages and is particularly impressed by its explosive kick: "Finally I have a ski that I can rely on even in slush - it doesn't leave me in a sticky situation!" he says.
With the WC Skate FL Soft Track you also get more power with less effort on soft and irregular trails because its flexible tip adapts to the surface and lets the ski glide smoothly. Its Single Groove (on the underside of the ski) also channels off water efficiently. This gives you a dynamic, powerful kick on wet snow.
Like the WC Skate FL Hard Track, the Soft Track also comprises a torsion-resistant Nomex core and an ultra-lightweight wood sidewall. This makes the ski lightweight yet super-strong - for even greater acceleration in each glide phase.
