I was raised in a neighborhood with a top-notch school system filled with inspiring and caring teachers. I loved hearing their stories about working in inner-city schools and how drastically different their teaching experiences were there compared to teaching in a predominately upper-class suburb. My naïve mind thought that my teachers chose to work in the inner-city schools but that was far from the truth.
At the beginning of their careers, many of my teachers could only find jobs in neighborhoods with poor school systems. They described the struggles of teaching in such areas but believed it made their character stronger because they were able to help students who needed it most. Fast forward to the present, where some of my friends are pursuing careers in education: Many of them are complaining that they can't find teaching jobs in "safe" middle- or upper-class areas, echoing the same struggles many of my high school teachers encountered.
Does this say anything about my generation? According to a recent Time article entitled "Millennials: The Me Me Me Generation," individuals in my generation is known to be narcissistic and refuse to take crap from the older generation. Since we're known to take jobs that "feel right," we disregard opportunities that don't measure up to our standards; as a result, we suggest to others that employment rates are low because we can't get jobs that people who worked in the field for 10 years have acquired.
Though the Me Generation isn't all bad (I highly suggest reading the article to find out our positive characteristics), I think it's time my generation had a reality check. My peers need to understand that we won't get our ideal jobs when starting out but if we put in the proper time and effort, we will climb the ladder of success just as every generation before us had done. What do you think?

Campus life can get hectic, especially if it is your first time experiencing it. With new opportunities, new people, new rules and new atmosphere all coming together for one big whirlpool of "NEW," it's easy to lose your head and lose focus of the true reason you decided to attend college...and that is higher education!
The most important way to stay grounded is keeping the right company. Friends have way more influence on us than we care to admit. Keeping a circle who can give you a good balance work and fun is key. It is also important to BE a good friend. Sometimes we care more for the well-being of others than our own. Learn to take your own advice!
Setting goals and/or a daily/weekly/monthly schedule will also make life easier. When things get crazy, it is always nice to have something to refer back to. Goal setting can help you determine when you have time to have fun and when it's time to get down to business.
Make sure to balance your extracurriculars as well. Don't JUST join all social or all academic clubs and don't JUST play sports – try a nice medley of everything! This way, you will always have a group to depend on when one aspect of your life is lacking.
College is all about new lessons and experiences but also about getting an education. Don't let all the "NEW" overwhelm you. Be spontaneous, try new things and have fun...but be SMART! Stay grounded and remember the lessons you learned growing up. (Your gut feeling will never let you down!) Keep your future first at all times and you'll navigate the "NEW" like a pro!

Some days in college feel like a battle against the clock: We students are constantly at the beck and call of our class schedule, homework and the professors who assign it. Add a job on top of that or perhaps an internship, sprinkle a few friends in here and there, squeeze in a few meals and the day is already gone! Believe it or not, it doesn't have to be that way no matter how busy you may find yourself: It all depends on the way you organize and prioritize, and you'll often find that it's the little things that count most.
I've found that doing things the night before (and I don't mean homework!) can save loads of time and worry. Try setting out your clothes, packing your meals (if you commute) or putting together your necessary class materials before you go to bed rather than in the morning before class. If you end up running late, you'll still shave off crucial minutes; plus, it's easier to make sure you won't forget anything if you check it over twice.
Draw out your general weekly schedule and stick it somewhere obvious. I have found that being able to actually see where your time is being spent is incredibly helpful as opposed to just going day by day in a planner. Block off the times you know you'll be in class, take advantage of the empty spaces and you'll soon get into a groove that allows you control over your time.
I multitask...a lot. Say you've got a lot of reading to do – try finding it in an audio format and listen to it while you work out, do laundry or drive. All those obnoxious little activities that must be done can do double-duty if you need them to.
If you still feel overwhelmed, don't be afraid to make time for yourself. Skip a class if you must, put aside the obligations and homework and just take some time to relax. All the planning in the world is no use if you're simply too overworked. It's OK to throw the schedule out the window every once in a while and do what makes you happy. Time is a precious thing – even more so in college, it can seem – so make the clock your friend rather than your enemy!

Getting a job in college can be a good opportunity for students in financial need, taking off tuition charges or putting more spending money directly into their pockets. Although choosing a job can be a stressful decision, one of the biggest issues comes from deciding between on- or off-campus options. There are upsides and downsides to both but fortunately, it is not too hard to find out which employment choice is better for you.
On-campus jobs are definitely convenient, as they require little traveling time and transportation. Students without cars can greatly benefit from being able to walk to their job within a matter of minutes. If a student decides to do a work-study, then they may get to pay less in college costs; however, campus jobs for one's own profit are often in short supply after work-study students have gotten their jobs. If it's money in your pocket that you are looking for, then on-campus jobs might not be as practical.
Earning money that can be put in the bank is always a good idea and the money earned at an off-campus job can be put towards college costs just as funds from a campus job or work-study can. Bosses at jobs off-campus are sometimes less understanding of a student's college schedule but this can often be worked out with one's employer since businesses surrounding college campuses get many student applicants. There is also the matter of transportation, which can be an issue for students without their own cars.
Whether you decide to work on or off of your college campus, finding one isn't really that difficult. For jobs at school, consult an on-campus career counselor who can guide you in the right direction; you can also check with your department head for a major-related position. Otherwise, search around campus for nearby shops and restaurants – if you take the time to walk in and ask for an application, the result could prove quite beneficial to your college experience!

No matter who you were or what you were known for in high school, college is a fresh start for all students. With a new academic year upon us (already?!), here are some tips for incoming freshmen on how to make their first year a great one:
Do you have any advice for incoming college freshmen?

It's agonizing to suddenly relinquish a free and easy summer schedule to the clutches of the college schedule...but what happens when your weeks in school are just as free they are over break?
You may end up with a situation a lot of college students dream of: a surplus of free time. This happened to me during my freshman year, as I had a pretty open class schedule, a weekends-only job and didn't join any clubs. I ended up bored to death nearly every day! But I didn't realize that the extra time was an advantage that not only gave me a chance for homework but time to focus on personal goals. If you find yourself in this situation, here are a few tips as to how to best spend your time:
However you choose to spend your extra time, make sure you enjoy yourself. Having time to yourself while in college is a rarity and you may not have such an opportunity in later semesters. College is about exploring and learning...not being bored because there's nothing to do. So get out there and make use of your time – you won't regret it!

If you've been in any career development class or seminar, I'm sure you've heard of LinkedIn. It's a fantastic networking tool and, if used properly, can lead to some pretty great opportunities...but you've got to know how to use it and keep it up to date.
What's incredible about LinkedIn is that they know you already have a billion social media sites to keep up with so they give you a quick way to get started on their site by providing options to import contacts from email and social media. You can also import your resume: The site does a fairly good job of sectioning off your resume to fit its profile layout, which is a quick way to establish your presence on the site. (LinkedIn also judges the amount of info you have and advises you on how to have a more 'complete' profile.)
Of course, there's still work that will need to be done and information to be added and changed but that's all easy to do in your own time. If you have an update to your resume, just change your resume on file and LinkedIn will do the rest with another quick upload. (It's not that hard to just add things directly to your profile, either.) The more information you add to your LinkedIn profile, the more marketable you are to future employers.
Also, keep your LinkedIn page classy! Do you have a goofy picture everybody just HAS to see? That's fine...just don't post it here. LinkedIn is a social media platform but approaching it like any other (Facebook, Twitter, etc.) would be a grave mistake. Nothing says "I don't take this seriously" like an unprofessional profile photo.
My final bit of LinkedIn profile advice? Keep it current, keep it interesting, make sure the information is accurate and join groups of similar individuals in your fields of interest to make sure your name is out there in the best light. Get a new job? Update your profile just like you would your resume and your profile will reach new people – employers use LinkedIn for recruiting and you could be exactly what someone is looking for. Gotta love technology!

Resident assistants. So you've seen them around campus and you admire how much they help out their fellow students. You've seen how much everybody loves them and what a positive impact they have on your university. Are you thinking of becoming a resident assistant yourself? As a new RA, I honestly expected it to be a lot less challenging than it has already proven to be but rather than explaining every last detail, I can tell you that there are some major dos and don'ts for the job:
Most importantly, you should never get involved in something simply for the popularity aspect. If being an RA sounds like something you would be really dedicated to, go for it! It may be a lot of work but if you enjoy helping people, you will probably have a lot of fun being a resident assistant at your university!

"When I graduate, where will I work?"
"What if I can't find a job?"
"What if no one will hire me because I lack experience?"
"Did I pick the wrong major?"
"Should I attend graduate school?"
"Is graduate school a waste of time and money?"
I apologize if I gave you a minor panic attack but these are questions that weigh on most students as they contemplate their lives after college. If you find these concerns are on your mind on a daily basis, you could be having a quarter-life crisis, which, according to a recent USA Today article, is when 20-somethings have anxiety because they question the direction and quality of their lives. Frankly, however, this anxiety is a waste of valuable time and energy so let's do some crisis management, shall we?
Firstly, recognize that you have only lived one quarter of your life – you still (hopefully) have three quarters to go, which means that some decisions you make now will not affect your future as much as you think they will. We are ever changing and the interests we have now may not hold true in a few years.
Secondly, let go of how others measure success and measure success on your own terms. Joining new clubs and organizations or becoming involved in an alternative spring break are ways you can find contentment and purpose.
Lastly, talk to someone! If the anxiety is constantly weighing on you, you may want to consult a parent or teacher who has more life experience than you. Remembering that you're not alone and finding someone who has been in your shoes and has moved past the anxiety you're feeling will help you get through your rough patch.

It wasn't too long ago that the majority of Americans agreed that one had to pursue a college degree in order to succeed in the workforce. Unfortunately for millennials, the rate of success after obtaining said degree is no longer so intrinsically tied: According to reports, millions of college students don't graduate, suffer a mismatch between education and employment and are left with massive amounts of debt.
New research suggests that earning a college degree is no longer the surest ticket to the middle class. "'Ticket' implies a college degree is something you can just cash in," said Alan Benson, assistant business professor at the University of Minnesota. "But it doesn't work that way. A college degree is more of a stepping stone, one ingredient to consider when you're cooking up your career...It's not always the best investment for everyone." Benson, along with MIT's Frank Levy and business analyst Raimudo Esteva, co-authored a new paper examining the value of public university options in California. They found that factors like how long it takes to complete a degree and whether students even make it to graduation can significantly diminish the value of pursuing higher education. Unsurprisingly, the study also found that students who take out loans and don't graduate on time incur much more debt. All in all, Benson concluded that the investment of a college education is generally better for those who graduate – on time – from a school with healthier resources. (For more on their research, click here.)

|Pork chops, seasoned simply with salt and pepper then seared, are finished with a slow bake in a flavorful beef broth with onions. Shown with a side salad and southern fried corn.
Easy Pork Chop and Onion BakeThis recipe is so easy, yet so tasty and full of flavor, nobody but you will know how easy it was. It's one of my favorite way to do pork chops because it produces a wonderfully tender and delicious chop. I like to do this low and slow in the oven, but you can also finish it on the stovetop on a low simmer if you prefer. Just follow the recipe all the way to deglazing the pan, and then return the chops to the skillet, cover and simmer on low until done.
Recipe: Easy Pork Chop and Onion Bake©From the Kitchen of Deep South Dish
Prep time: 15 min |Cook time: 40 min | Yield: About 4 to 6 servings
- 6 bone-in pork chops
- 1-1/2 tablespoons canola oil
- Kosher salt, fresh cracked black pepper and Cajun seasoning (like Slap Ya Mama), to taste
- 1 Vidalia or yellow onion, sliced into rings
- 1-1/2 cups of beef stock or broth
- 1 teaspoon of dried thyme, crushed
Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Heat canola oil in a large lidded stainless skillet. Dry the chops well and add to skillet, sprinkling the top side with salt, pepper and Cajun seasoning; brown. Turn, sprinkle the other side with seasonings, brown; remove to a baking dish.
In the same skillet, break the onion into rings and saute in the pan drippings until lightly caramelized. Add the broth to the skillet and deglaze. Pour the entire contents of the skillet over the chops, spreading the onions evenly over the top of the chops; sprinkle with the thyme.
Cover and bake at 325 degrees for about 40 minutes or until tender and cooked through. Spoon pan sauce over individual servings.
Pork Chop and Potatoes Variation: Preheat oven to 325 degrees F. Butter a 9 x 13 inch casserole dish. Season and brown pork chops in a skillet as above; set aside. Add onions and caramelize. Increase broth to 2 full cups and deglaze the skillet with the broth. Whisk 2 tablespoons of all purpose flour in with the broth until well blended. Peel and rinse 4 medium sized potatoes and slice fairly thin. To the buttered casserole dish add a layer of half of the potatoes and top with 1/3 of the broth and onion mixture; repeat layers. Place chops on top. Pour remaining broth and onion on top. Cover tightly with a double layer of aluminum foil and bake at 325 degrees F for about 45 minutes, or until potatoes are tender. Time will depend on how thick you cut the potatoes.

Does your hair feel a little naked? Add some oomph with our picks for the best hair accessories
When I was just one day old, my mother put a pink Velcro hair bow on my head so everyone would know I was a girl. That was the beginning of my relationship with hair accessories. Hair bows, headbands, clips, and barrettes -- I've tried all forms of "hair flair" throughout the years. And thankfully, hair accessories have never really gone out of style. But lately we've been in a true hair flair era. From Lady Gaga's hair bow to the fictional (but still fashionable) Blair Waldorf and her signature headbands, hair accessories are having a major moment.
Click here to see our picks for the best hair accessories.
As a statement piece, a la Gaga, hair flair packs a lot of punch, but don't discount all the other amazing reasons hair accessories are a must-have in your closet. After all, I've had my fair share of bad hair days, and a pretty hair accessory has always proven to be a quick fix for awkward bedhead. And when my outfit is a bit uninspired (think white T-shirt and jeans), a sparkly barrette dresses up the whole look. Plus, it's a perfect summer trend; during a blazingly hot day, a headband or clip keeps your hair up and away.
But the best reason to love hair flair? It won't break the bank. It's super inexpensive, so you can easily buy a few hair accessories for under $20. (How's that for a deal?) Then, you have plenty of options when you tire of the one you're currently wearing. That's the beauty of hair flair: it makes switching up your style easy. If you haven't figured it out already, hair accessories have this remarkable way of saving the day.
Ready to get in on the hair flair trend, too? Keep clicking for the best hair accessories.

If you're having trouble getting your kids to make healthy food choices, such as choosing fruit instead of candy or eating more veggies, try getting them involved in meal preparation at home.
Studies have shown that children who are actively involved in choosing and preparing ingredients for meals are more likely to make healthy food choices at home.
Don't worry about your kids being too young: Even children ages 3 or 4 can help pour and stir, and they really love participating. Not only will you gain helping hands in the kitchen, your kids will benefit both now and in the future from learning some basic hands-on cooking skills.
How do you get your kids excited about cooking and eating healthy food? Try letting them help plan and shop for the menu, make them feel "grown up" by getting them their own kid-sized kitchen tools such as a small apron or kid-safe ceramic safety knife.
Most of all, choose a kid-friendly recipe that's a healthier version of foods your kids already like. A quick search of the Internet will result in recipes for healthy versions of kid favorites like homemade chicken nuggets, macaroni and cheese, spaghetti and even pizza.
Here's an Easy Stove-Top Pizza recipe that we made with some "little chefs" at a recent kids' cooking class at the Mebane Farmer's Market. The kids helped shop for and prepare the veggies, and while making the pizza crust, they also learned how yeast and honey work together with flour to make the dough.
They loved it, and even the picky eaters seemed to like the veggie pizzas we made. Try it with your kids this weekend and don't forget to practice food safety by teaching them to wash their hands, and how to be safe around knives and the stove.
Easy Stove-Top Pizza
Pizza dough:
1 cup warm water
½ teaspoon baking yeast
1 teaspoon honey
¾ cup whole wheat flour
1¾ cups unbleached white flour
½ teaspoon baking powder
½ teaspoon salt
Pizza toppings:
¼ cup shredded Parmesan cheese
½ cup grated mozzarella cheese
5 Roma tomatoes, washed and diced
½ red bell pepper, washed and diced
2 tablespoons chopped fresh basil leaves
¼ teaspoon salt
1⁄8 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
2 teaspoons olive oil
Make the pizza dough:
In a medium bowl, combine 1 cup warm water and ½ teaspoon yeast. Let sit 2 to 3 minutes, until the yeast is dissolved. Stir in 1 teaspoon honey and ¾ cup whole wheat flour.
In a separate bowl, stir together 1¾ cups white flour, ½ teaspoon baking powder, and ½ teaspoon salt.
Add the dry ingredients to the whole wheat mixture, stirring to form a rough dough.
On a clean, lightly floured work surface, knead the dough for 1 to 2 minutes, until smooth. Cover the dough and let it rise while you prepare the pizza toppings.
Prepare the pizza toppings:
In a small bowl, combine ¼ cup Parmesan and ½ cup Mozzarella cheeses. In another bowl, combine tomatoes, bell peppers, 2 tablespoons basil, ¼ teaspoon salt, 1/8 teaspoon pepper and 2 teaspoons olive oil.
Make the pizzas:
Divide the dough to make 3 equal balls. On a clean, lightly floured work surface, roll each ball into a circle that is 10 inches in diameter. Heat a 12-inch skillet or griddle over medium high heat until it is hot. Transfer the rolled pizza crust to the skillet or griddle and cook for 3 to 5 minutes. Turn the dough. Spread one third of the tomato mixture on top of the cooked side of the dough to make an even layer. Top with ¼ cup of the cheese mixture.
Cover the pan and continue to cook the pizza until the toppings are hot and the bottom of the crust is golden brown, about 5 to 8 minutes. Remove the pizza to a cutting board and cut into wedges to serve. Repeat this process to make 2 more pizzas.
One pizza serves 4 to 8 people, depending on the size of your slices, at about $1.00 per serving (based on toppings listed in recipe).
• Cook's notes: You can substitute any toppings your family likes. Meats such as sausage, chicken or hamburger should be cooked in a separate pan in advance, and some veggies like mushrooms may look and taste better if sautéed before putting on the pizza.
Pizza dough also can be prepared and frozen. Prepare dough as instructed in recipe and freeze, wrapped well in plastic wrap.
To use frozen dough, thaw frozen dough in the refrigerator overnight. An hour or two before making pizza, place frozen dough, loosely covered with plastic wrap, on a lightly-floured board. Allow dough to rise as it thaws. When dough is thawed, proceed to the "make the pizzas" section of the recipe.

AnyPresence, the leading enterprise backend-as-a-service (BaaS) platform, today announced it was awarded the 2013 Disruptive Strategy Award at this year's Strategy Innovation Awards, held in conjunction with the Chief Strategy Officer Summit in San Francisco, California.
AnyPresence was nominated alongside an impressive list of corporations, including Walmart, Citigroup, L'Oreal, Cisco and Intel. AnyPresence received the award due to its "no platform lock-in" technology and recently launched Meta-Platform that allows companies to create a customized mobile development portal for developer ecosystems(1) , both of which have potential for disruption in the enterprise mobility space. With its unique, de-coupled architecture, AnyPresence provides customers with the ability to deploy and manage the run-time code of their mobile apps and backend server on their own. This is a distinctly different approach than other mobile backend-as-a-service (MBaaS) and mobile application development platform (MADP) solutions, where customers do not have access to the proprietary run-time source code IP of the vendor, and are locked into the solution for the lifespan of their apps.
"Winning the 2013 Disruptive Strategy Award provides further recognition of AnyPresence's unique technology differentiators and leadership in the enterprise mobility space," said Susan Miller, Chief Strategy Officer at AnyPresence. "It was an honor to be nominated alongside some of the world's leading innovators, and even more humbling to have won the award."

Snohomish's Tanner Perry is The Herald's Boy Athlete of the Year
Dan Bates / The Herald
Snohomish's Tanner Perry is The Herald's Class of 2013 Boy Athlete of the Year. Perry lettered in three different sports but his impact on sports at Snohomish was felt in many different places.

Ike had the hole cut in his neck during his battle with a life threatening case of Pneumonia. An honorary member of the Snohomish's football team Ike has become an icon of school spirit.

Snohomish's Tanner Perry is a decorated three-sport athlete in football wrestling and golf. He finished eighth among 4A 152-pounders as the 2013 Mat Classic, served as team captain on the wrestling and football teams, was voted Defensive MVP as a senior on the football team and was voted to the All-Wesco team in all three sports.
Academically, Perry is just as successful. He finished high school with a 3.986 GPA and served as an ASB Class Senator for four years and a member of LINK Crew, National Honor Society amongst other clubs. He also was the recipient of the Washington Interscholastic Activities Association's first annual Smart Choices Scholarship, which gives students a $5,000 scholarship.
But Perry's greatest achievement of his high-school career might be his work, along with two other classmates, to increase the athletic eligibility for special-needs students in Washington State. His efforts were influenced by his friendship with Ike Ditzenberger, a Snohomish student with Down Syndrome.
All of these accomplishments have earned Perry the Class of 2013 Boy Athlete of the Year award. Herald Writer Aaron Lommers recently spoke with Perry to discuss his high-school career and his future.
What was the top moment of your high-school career?
I would say graduation because it was kind of the hurrah with everybody and just the fact that we get to do it in Everett (at Comcast Arena) and walk across the big stage and be with everybody in front of all of our friends and family, it's a pretty cool thing.
If you had to pick a sports related moment what would it be?
I would say Ike's touchdown. When he scored I was on the sideline of the field. It was just special because of the whole situation that Lake Stevens was willing to do that for a kid like him and give him a chance for glory. That literally made that kid's life. Since then he (is) a happier kid and he loved every bit of it and he still loves it whenever we talk about it. It just made that kid's life. That's why it's special to me.
How did you and Ike meet?
I met Ike when I was in eighth grade and he was freshman at school. I would just come to practice with my dad (former Snohomish head football coach Mark Perry) all the time. He would come over and like mess around with me on the sideline when he got bored with practice.
Why has Ike meant so much to you through high school?
He is just a really nice guy. He is just a normal kid like us. He likes to hang out with people and have fun and play Xbox and drink pop. He's just really funny. Once you get to know him and he's not too shy around you, he will start to joke around with you and have a bunch of fun with you too. He calls me basically every single day, just to talk to me on the phone about the most random things. Hopefully we keep that up and he calls me all the time. Otherwise, whenever I come home from school (at Pacific Lutheran University) I will always try to hang out with him or give him a call and meet up with him at Starbucks or whatever and just make sure we keep our good friendship.
What are your long-term future plans?
I plan to study education and become a special needs teacher. I've always kind of wanted to be a teacher. I just kind of like being around the school theme. I've always wanted to coach football and maybe even wrestling and golf. Then, once I met Ike and got accompanied with him ... just the way they think about life and the way they love to have fun. I love teaching and I love being with those kind of kids. When they get happy or they accomplish something and they get a big old smile on their face and throw their hands up in the air and do whatever they do, it just feels really good to me and that's why I think I want to continue to be involved with them.
What was your biggest achievement in sports and how were you able to achieve it?
I would say being on the All-Wesco team for three different sports. I definitely had the right people to do it with and a big thanks to my coaches and fellow players. Just going out there and making sure I do it right and having fun at the same time. When you do that, things end up going pretty well.
For the athletes of the year, the top five vote-getters in the fan vote were combined with a staff pick and pared down to a top four before a winner was chosen. Besides Tanner Perry, the three athletes below were in the final four of the Class of 2013 Boy Athlete of the Year:
Sean Elledge, Glacier Peak
This Grizzlies senior had arguably the best season on the field of any of the 2013 nominees. After leading the football team to the state tournament, Elledge was selected as The Herald's Defensive Player of the Year and was a nominee for the Offensive Player of the Year. He was first team All-Area on both offense and defense. In the winter he won won his second straight state championship at the Mat Classic. He then picked up a bat for the first time in a few years and promptly helped lead the Glacier Peak baseball team to the state tournament and was named to The Herald's All-Area second team. He'll be taking all that skill to Central Washington.
Justin Peterson, Lakewood
This Cougars senior did a little bit of everything on the football field. So much so that scoring three touchdowns —throwing, receiving and rushing — in one game was coined a "Justin Peterson" by Herald writer David Krueger. He was named to The Herald's All-Area football first team as an athlete and was a nominee for Player of the Year on offense and defense. He led the Lakewood football team to back-to-back state appearances. In the winter he was selected to all-conference basketball first team. Peterson won a state title in the triple jump as a junior and had back-to-back second-place finishes in the high jump at state. He's headed to Central Washington to play football.
Kyle Nobach, Marysville Pilchuck
Whether it was going over the middle to catch a pass in front of a linebacker or stealing home to win the game, this Tomahawks senior played football and baseball with equal abandon. He was named All-Wesco first-team offense and defense for football and first-team infielder in baseball. He was also an All-State football selection and was the Offensive MVP of the All-State baseball game. Besides keeping a 3.6 GPA, he also volunteered with Pumpkins for Literacy, helped raise money for Hurricane Sandy relief and worked on the You Gotta Love This Place school clean up project. He's Headed to Everett Community College to play baseball.

OXFORD, Ohio – Sean Kuraly's goal in the seventh round of the shootout secured an extra point for the Miami hockey team following a 2-2 tie with Nebraska Omaha on Friday night.
The RedHawks (9-9-3, 3-7-1-1 National Collegiate Hockey) pick up two points in the conference standings after going to a shootout for the first time this season.
UNO's (8-11-2, 5-4-2-1 NCHC) Brock Montpetit had the game's first real opportunity when he was fed on the rush and quickly fired a shot that rattled off the MU post just under two minutes into the game.
Offense was at a premium for the first half of the opening period, with the teams combining for just four shots (3-1 UNO) after about 10 minutes of play. That all changed when Kevin Morris won an offensive zone faceoff to Anthony Louis at the left wing half wall. Louis cycled the puck behind the goal and worked a cross-crease pass to Bryon Paulazzo. The senior forward finished the pretty feed and drilled the puck into the net for his third goal of the year at the 10:13 mark to put the RedHawks ahead 1-0. That tally was the only strike of the opening frame as both teams fired three shots on goal.
A carryover Miami power play did not yield another goal to start the second. Shortly after the man advantage expired, the RedHawks found themselves shorthanded for the first time. MU's penalty killing unit stood tall, not yielding a single shot on goal and creating a nice opportunity of its own when Riley Barber fired a shot in transition that Ryan Massa turned aside.
Austin Czarnik put the Red and White up a pair after John Doherty intercepted a Maverick clearing attempt and fired a shot off a UNO player. The rebound came right to Czarnik in the slot and he promptly wristed home his 10th goal of the season with 10:49 remaining in the second period. The assist to Doherty was the sophomore's first-collegiate point.
The Mavericks answered 42 seconds later when Montpetit chipped in a centering feed from Austin Ortega to bring them within 2-1 at the midway point of the game. The RedHawks did not attempt another shot on goal after Czarnik's tally, but still held a 2-1 advantage after 40 minutes of play.
While UNO entered the third period with 1:17 left on a power play opportunity, Montpetit committed a tripping penalty just three seconds into the period to move the teams to four aside. Neither team found the net during that span and then UNO killed off a 46-second MU power play to keep it a one-goal game.
MU was sent to the box again at the 5:15 mark and appeared to be on its way to another successful penalty kill. With the UNO man advantage winding down, the puck worked around the boards and hopped over Ryan McKay's stick as he tried to play it behind the net. Jaycob Megna gathered the loose puck and centered it to Ortega, who slipped the puck into the net as McKay tried to get back into the crease. That goal left the score tied at 2-2 with 12:58 left in regulation.
The RedHawks got two more opportunities with the man advantage in the third period, but only managed four shots on goal during the third period. McKay made nine saves to keep the score tied and send MU to its first overtime game in conference play.
Miami got another crack on the power play with 1:05 left in the extra session, but was unable to get a shot through to the net. The Mavericks took the only two shots on goal in the five-minute overtime.
After both teams came up empty in the first shootout round, Czarnik wristed in a shot and McKay made a solid stop to give the RedHawks a 1-0 lead after two shooters. After MU was stopped in its third try, it appeared Miami claimed the extra point when Josh Archibald's initial shot appeared to be stopped, but the puck ended up trickling into the net to keep the shootout going.
A Red and White miss left Montpetit with a shot to give the extra point to the Mavericks, but McKay stood his ground to move the shootout to a fifth round. Cody Murphy buried his chance to put the RedHawks up 2-1, but Nick Seeler scored on his try and continued the competition.
A goal scorer in regulation, Paulazzo put up a nifty move in the sixth round of the shootout and fooled Massa with a spin move, but his rising backhand shot went off the post and gave UNO another shot to claim the extra point in the standings. McKay would not allow that to happen as he stopped Jake Guentzel cold to send it to an NCHC record seventh shootout round.
From there, Kuraly calmly carried the puck in and ripped a shot past Massa to once again give the RedHawks a chance at a shootout win. This time, McKay made the stop on Michael Young to give MU a valuable two points in the standings.
The Mavericks outshot the RedHawks by a 27-13 margin and went 1-for-4 on the power play over regulation and overtime. MU finished 0-6 with the man advantage.
McKay stopped 25 of 27 shots for the Red and White while Massa turned away 11 of the RedHawks' 13 shot attempts.
These teams finish their weekend series on Saturday night. The puck drops at 7:05 p.m.

Muay gradually became a possible means of personal advancement as the nobility increasingly esteemed skillful practitioners of the art and invited selected fighters to come to live in the Royal palace to teach muay to the staff of the royal household, soldiers, princes or the king's personal guards.[citation needed] This "royal muay" was called muay luang.
Some time during the Ayutthaya Period, a platoon of royal guards was established, whose duty was to protect king and the country. They were known as Grom Nak Muay (Muay Fighters' Regiment). This royal patronage of muay continued through the reigns of Rama V and VII.

In 1973 we brought the use of animals in cosmetics tests to the UK public attention for the first time, encouraging people to shop cruelty-free. This was followed up by our popular 'Choose Cruelty Free' campaign in the 1980s, with our campaign bus which travelled the country on a national tour to spread the word.
In 1990, we recognised the importance of working at a European level to achieve our objective to end cosmetics animal testing. We established the European Coalition to End Cosmetics Tests on Animals (now the European Coalition to End Animal Experiments – ECEAE) with our colleagues in Europe specifically to call for a ban on the cruel use of animals to test cosmetics in Europe. This set in motion a high-profile campaign across Europe, symbolised by the iconic Spitting Image designed larger-than-life laboratory rabbit Vanity, and widely regarded as one of the most successful European lobbying campaigns ever. Vanity and her European cousins toured throughout the UK, Denmark, France, Belgium and the Netherlands meeting politicians and attracting a huge amount of public attention to our campaign.
9th November 1991 was an historic day in the campaign – we organised a rally at the Place de la Monnaie in Brussels which was attended by members of the ECEAE with a thousand BUAV supporters arriving in coaches across the Channel. The march was the highlight of two years of intensive political and public campaigning, and culminated in a free concert with folk-rock band The Levellers.
A year later, in 1992, the European Parliament took an historic decision and voted to end cosmetics tests on animals throughout the European Community. However, the campaign suffered a number of setbacks – thanks in part to the powerful cosmetics industry which was vehemently opposed to any proposal for a ban at the time. On 3rd November 1993 the European Council of Ministers rejected the European Parliament and Commission proposal to effectively ban the marketing of cosmetics products and ingredients tested on animals after 1st January 1998. It was to take almost 20 years of hard campaigning by the BUAV and ECEAE to finally achieve this in 2013.
Our campaign was supported by The Body Shop who in 1996 presented a petition containing 4 million signatures to the European Commission.
Over the years our campaign to end cosmetics tests on animals has attracted large amounts of support from the public, politicians, and celebrities alike: Sir Paul McCartney, Jude Law, Joanna Lumley, Helen Mirren, Ricky Gervais, Sienna Miller, Jenny Seagrove, Annie Lennox, Chrissie Hynde, Morrissey, Joss Stone, Dannii Minogue, Kimberley Wyatt, Sadie Frost, Jodie Kidd, Richard Briers, Andrew Sachs, Gillian Taylforth, Alexei Sayle, Toyah Wilcox, and Meg Matthews have all lent their support.
To help consumers make a truly cruelty-free choice, in 1997 a coalition of international animal protection organisations, including the BUAV, launched the Humane Cosmetics Standard, symbolised by our Leaping Bunny logo which continues to certify brands to this day. Now, almost 500 cosmetics and household product companies are approved as free from animal testing.
In the UK, there was to be a sea-change in 1997 with the advent of the New Labour government which, thanks to BUAV lobbying whilst they were in opposition, finally banned animal testing for cosmetics in the UK. Following this, a ban was finally negotiated in the European Union in February 2003 which saw a phased approach agreed. The first stage was implemented on 11th March 2009, when the 7th amendment to the Cosmetics Directive brought into force two bans, and it became illegal to test cosmetic ingredients on animals anywhere in the EU and to sell or import into the EU any ingredients to be used in cosmetics tested on animals after that date. However, three types of animal tests were exempt from this until March 2013 in order to allow non-animal alternatives to be validated.
However, in 2011 it became clear that the European Commission's scientists were set to recommend delaying the final part of the ban for up to ten years to allow alternatives to be developed. The BUAV and ECEAE immediately launched our No Cruel Cosmetics campaign and set about making the case for the ban. With the support of politicians, cruelty-free cosmetics companies, celebrities, quarter of a million concerned citizens and our ground-breaking report challenging the European Commission's assumption of the necessity of animal testing for cosmetics and detailing the alternative approaches available, Europe has listened and the ban is set to come into force in March 2013 as promised!
It has been quite a journey to reach this final conclusion in Europe, but for us the story certainly does not end here. Shockingly over 80% of the world still allows animal testing for cosmetics. So in 2012 the BUAV took the decision to launch Cruelty Free International to repeat our success in Europe across the world. Countries including Israel are already stepping up and banning animal testing for cosmetics – and with the drive of our new global organisation we aim to create a world free of animal testing for cosmetics.

Despite a rainy Election Day Tuesday, voter turnout was good for the mayor and Board of Aldermen races.
Supporters of New Bern mayoral and Board of Aldermen candidates huddled under umbrellas Tuesday in front of city precincts all day hoping to try to sway last-minute voters.
Pete Azzole, with the Craven County Board of Elections, said that, even with the rain, people were out voting.
By 2 p.m., 1,496 votes were cast for candidates, and the total turnout, including early and absentee voting on Tuesday was at least 20 percent greater than the municipal election in 2009, Azzole said. By the end of the day Tuesday, there could be a 25 to 26 percent increase in turnout compared to the last election, he said.
The only drawback during Election Day was people who still were not sure where to vote.
"We've had many people calling and walking in to see where to go," Azzole said.
The Board of Elections sent out cards in August telling people affected by ward boundary changes what their precincts are, Azzole said.
Although voter turnout was good, some precincts were not seeing any lines of people.
Vinny Michaud, precinct judge at the George Street Senior Center poll, said voters were just drifting in.
"There have been no lines," Michaud said. "It's been back up by about six people at the most."
Pam Woods, an election official at the George Street precinct, agreed.
"There's been a steady trickle," she said.
Woods said at 2:15 p.m., 180 people had voted at the precinct.
Michaud said the number of voters might pick up at the end of the work day. Polls are open until 7:30 p.m.
"You figure everybody, is waiting for the last day to vote," Michaud said. "But you don't ever know. Maybe it was the early voting. Maybe it's the rain."
There were 2,676 votes cast during early voting, which was more than double what it was in 2009, Michaud said.
Debra Carmon was outside the polling place, beside sidewalk, sitting in a chair under an umbrella. She held a sign supporting Tharesa Lee, a candidate for mayor.
Carmon said she did not know what to expect coming out on a rainy Election Day.
"No one has come up to me," she said. "Everyone just walks by and look at the sign and smile."
Not far away, Alderman Dana Outlaw, running for mayor, was standing under an umbrella with a hand full of campaign brochures, doing some last-minute stumping for anyone who walked up.
Outlaw, whose daughters and son were at other polling sites helping support him, said he was disappointed with the weather and the turnout.
"I was expecting about 7,000 voters," he said. "I'm hoping for a good, heavy turnout later in the afternoon."
Besides Outlaw all of the mayoral candidates, Sabrina Bengel, Denny Bucher, Tharsea Lee, Barbara Lee and Edwin Vargas also visited the George Street precinct during the day and then moved on to other polling places.

PIEDMONT – The Wren High football team had no trouble bouncing back from its first region loss to Daniel, dominating West-Oak in a 49-7 victory last Friday night.
Hurricane coach Jeff Tate, whose team is now 6-2 on the year, said he is hoping his team will use each game as a building block to the team's ultimate goals.
"We're trying to do what we can do to get ready for BHP and other teams we might have to face in the playoffs so that when we get there we'll have a chance to be competitive," Tate said. "Right now we just have to take it one game at a time."
Tate said his team has proven to be force to be reckoned with on offense this season, scoring more than 40 points in three of its wins so far this year.
"We've been very consistent offensively all year," Tate said. "We've been able to score points and we've taken care of the ball fairly well. Those are the things you have to do and we feel good about where we are."
Standout quarterback Kelly Bryant has been on fire for the Hurricanes this season. One of his most impressive performances came in the loss to top ranked Daniel, as he rushed for 90 yards and threw for nearly 400 yards.
"I knew that Kelly (Bryant) was an athlete, but other than that, I didn't really know much about him before the season," Tate said. "He has shown great poise and execution. He continues to show his ability to make the big play when things don't look like they're going to turn out very well. He's been very consistent and he's been what a quarterback should be."
The head coach said this is one of the most talented offenses he has coached.
"This is one of the better offenses we've had at Wren," Tate said. "We're averaging over 200 yards rushing and we're averaging right around 300 yards passing. We can move the ball, but the biggest thing right now is our defense. We've got to be able to stop people when it counts."
Wren will face Walhalla on Friday night, and Tate said his team simply needs to worry about the next game and try to get better.
"We're going against a Walhalla team that has had a tough go so far," Tate said. "They're young and they don't have a lot depth. As a coach, I know that can be really difficult. We can't worry about what other teams are doing, however. We have to improve ourselves."
As the season winds down, Tate said it is important for his guys not to try to look ahead as playoffs approach quickly.
"We're not in the playoffs yet," Tate said. "We've got to secure that by winning games. The only thing we can take care of this week is our next opponent. Right now we're 3-1 in the region so going forward, it's very important for us to be sound in what we're doing."
Kickoff for Friday's game at Walhalla is set for 7:30 p.m.

After a few rainy days and delays, the Home Road bridge should be open Monday, weather permitting.
The newly-built Home Road bridge over the CSX Railroad between Sawmill and Liberty roads has been under construction since last year.
Originally scheduled to be completed Thursday, the bridge opening was delayed due to weather. Barring any complications, the bridge should open Monday, said Nancy Burton, public information officer for ODOT District 6.
The bridge is just south of the existing at-grade crossing. It will put vehicular, bicycle and pedestrian traffic on a road that crosses over the railroad tracks.
In 2010, the section of railroad carried about 30 trains each day across Home Road. The intersection was often blocked by slow moving or stopped trains, delaying traffic on Home Road. The delays impacted motorists as well as school buses, police and fire services.
Home Road is a high-traffic east-west corridor in the south part of the county. The crossing is close to several schools and buses drive over the tracks on a regular basis, which makes for an inherently unsafe situation, county engineer Chris Bauserman said.
The remainder of the approximately $8-million project — paid in part by federal stimulus dollars, as well as state and county funds — is expected to be complete by November.
The project hit a few snags before getting underway last year. Funding was pulled in late 2009. Two days before the project was to go to bid, the state informed Bauserman that it over-committed its financial resources and wouldn't provide the funding.
The county had already spent $3 million to acquire the land and draw up plans for the project.
In November 2009, ODOT found stimulus money to help pay for the project, setting it into motion again.
After the new Home Road bridge is open, ODOT will begin work on Old Home Road, including the construction of two cul-de-sacs. During that work, drivers will only be able to access Old Home Road from Old Liberty Road.
The detour for eastbound traffic on the Old Home is Sawmill Parkway to Hyatts Road to Old Liberty Road to Old Home Road. The detour for westbound traffic is New Liberty Road to Old Liberty Road to Old Home Road.

Forest Service weighs which roads to keep, which to cut

Peter Forbes, of the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest Service, takes in a view of Rat Trap Falls off of Rat Trap Pass during a tour of the forest roads outside of Darrington on Saturday. The Forest Service can only afford to maintain a fraction of the roads in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest, which is visited each year by an estimated 5 million people. It is holding public meetings to decide which roads will be saved.

An estimated 5 million people visit Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest each year, making use of the 2,500 miles of Forest Service roads to see the beauty of the forest and get to the trails that take them deeper into it.
As part of cost-cutting in the U.S. Department of Agriculture, the U.S. Forest Service must pare down the number of roads it maintains. In Mount Baker-Snoqualmie, which stretches from the Canadian border to Mount Rainier, officials are under the gun to end spending for maintenance of about 75 percent of the Forest Service roads.
Ongoing now are public meetings at which the Forest Service is trying to find out which roads are most important to people who use them. Among the next meetings is one scheduled for Wednesday in Darrington.
Some people at previous meetings have shown support for closure of the roads, and not just as a cost-saving measure. Two lawsuits in recent years against Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest -- one that sought to shut down repairs to the Suiattle River Road and another that accused the Forest Service of violating the Wilderness Act by refurbishing the historic Green Mountain forest fire lookout -- make clear that some would rather see the wilderness left alone.
People in Darrington, however, plan to fight closures. They have alternative ideas to back up their arguments against decommissioning forest roads. And it isn't all about recreation or sightseeing.
A logging town, Darrington has suffered as timber sales in the national forest have declined.
Notable locals spent Saturday driving people around the forest to talk about their concerns and ideas. They were Mayor Dan Rankin, who owns a small mill; Paul Wagner, a member of the Society of American Foresters; and Martha Rasmussen, who leads a Darrington volunteer forest-roads maintenance group.
Rasmussen said her group has cleaned and performed maintenance work on nearly all of the Forest Service roads in the Darrington District of the forest. In 2012, Friends for Public Use put in more than 1,000 hours of volunteer work, cleaning culverts and ditches and cutting back brush along nearly 500 miles of forest roads. They also removed 14.5 cubic yards of garbage.
"Despite what some people say, these roads are not crumbling away," Rasmussen said. "We know because we take care of them."
Historically, the Forest Service goal has been to do the greatest good for the greatest number of people, and that has meant supporting rural economies and enabling access to recreation. U.S. Forest Service Chief Tom Tidwell has said that another goal is to get children into the forests.
"Forest Service conservation education programs inspire young people to start exploring the natural world around them, which develops a life-long appreciation for the environment," Tidwell said in May.
Rasmussen wonders, however, how young people will see the forest if the roads are gone. Many day hikes already have been eliminated because of previous road closures, she said.
"The people who can visit all of the forest are those who are in great physical shape and who have lots of time to hike the many miles on closed roads to get to trailheads," Rasmussen said.
The national forest road system also is necessary for timber harvesting, which means jobs in towns such as Darrington, said Wagner, the forester.
Wagner contends that it's going to cost more to decommission roads in the forest than it would to maintain them for future logging and recreation. Decommissioning involves culverts being pulled out, roadways loosened, fill material trucked out and native shrubs planted.
"Decommissioning is destruction of public property," Wagner said. "Much of the existing roads system has endured 20 years of minimal maintenance. It's a testament to good design and the logging companies that built them."
More than 100 years ago, Congress established a self-supporting system that dedicated 10 percent of timber sales revenue to construction and maintenance of roads and trails, Wagner said. "Now the federal budget sends these funds to the treasury," he said.
As he drove the woods Saturday, Wagner pointed to places in the forest where its health is threatened by lack of active management. Thinning, prescribed burning and timber harvesting are essential for the health of a working forest, he said.
Forest Supervisor Jennifer Eberlien and Darrington District Ranger Peter Forbes won't argue with Wagner. His ideas are reasonable, but the Forest Service is dealing with limited personnel and budgets, Forbes said.
Rankin, Darrington's mayor, believes that many roads could be maintained by timber companies that want to harvest the valuable alder that has grown up alongside the roads. Alder veneer is a valuable product that can be stained to resemble other woods, he said.
By cutting the alder and allowing more daylight onto wet, leaf-covered roads, maintenance becomes easier, Rasmussen said.
Eberlien said she hopes many people show up to the remaining public hearings on Forest Service road closures.
"We need these conversations. The Forest Service is not going to solve this problem by ourselves," she said. "We're in this thing together."

Correction: The U.S. Forest Service plans to maintain only 25 percent of the roads in the Mount Baker-Snoqualmie National Forest because of budget cuts. The Forest Service will decommission some remaining roads while trying to keep as many open as possible. An earlier version of this story incorrectly said the federal agency would close all the roads it cannot maintain.

Saturday, January 7th at noon at El Tarasco
5425 New Cut Road just south of Iroquois Park across the street from El Nopal and Lickety Split.
This will be a casual meeting to discuss the Masters tournament over lunch with Dave. We'll find out what is in the works and discus what needs to be done in preparation for the tournament.
The meeting is open to everyone and you are encouraged to attend if you want to be part of the discussion and help with the tournament in some way. Since you must be 40+ years old to play in this tournament, we should have lots of people available to help.
We've been running a quality A tier tournament for a while now thanks to Jeremy. This is our chance to show the PDGA first hand, as well as the disc golf community, what a great event we can host and show them we're ready for even larger events in the future.
I will also have an update about the CVO at the meeting.
This is not the general club meeting, that will take place later in January. See you there!
