Two months into the 2015 State Legislative sessions and we have seen a groundswell of assaults on voters in many states. League of Women Voters activists have been working around the clock to fight back against these threats as well as to advance opportunities for voters.
Leagues across the country have been helping to build public support for restoring the effectiveness of the Voting Rights Act by submitting this template letter to the editor to local or state newspapers. Below is the growing list of Leagues that have already published the letter in their communities.
This summer, the Membership and Leadership Development (MLD) program is providing training to local and state League leaders from nine states that are entering the program for the first time ever. After a wonderful financial out-pouring of support for the MLD program at the LWVUS Convention in June 2012, Cheryl, Carol, Kelly, and I (the League trainers for the MLD program) have been met with enthusiasm for the program and for the future of the League.
As part of the LWVUS team that is going out this summer to train Leagues through the, Membership and Leadership Development program, which is designed to help strengthen the League as we power the vote, I am so inspired by the League leaders we're meeting who are passionate about protecting the right to vote and active in mobilizing citizens to take back the helm of our democracy.
The League and its allies were successful in keeping voter ID bills from passing in a number of states including Colorado, Delaware, Iowa, Maine, Missouri, Montana, New Mexico, Oregon and Virginia. Only Kansas, Pennsylvania and Tennessee have passed voter photo ID laws that are currently in effect. In retrospect, thanks to the Leagues ongoing work, we are better off than we had anticipated when the legislative sessions began!
Date: April 21, 2012Location: 10-11 AM, the Hallagan Center at Mercy Hospital, Cedar Rapids, IowaEvent: Panel DiscussionThe League of Women Voters of Cedar Rapids/Marion, Iowa, hosted a forum entitled "Judicial Retention: Who Does What and When." Panelists included former Chief Justice David Baker of the Iowa Supreme Court, now a member of the 6th Judicial District Nominating Commission for the Iowa Supreme Court and the Iowa Court of Appeals; Judge Van Zimmer, Court of Appeals; and Cedar Rapids attorney Steve Pace, who served from 2006-2011 as a member of the Judicial Nominating Commission for the Iowa Supreme Court and Iowa Court of Appeals. The goal of the forum was to help explain the sometimes unknown and misunderstood process of selecting judges in Iowa. The forum was free and open to the public.

text: Noise when spin stopped William M. • Huntington Woods, MI • April 01, 2014 My Repair & Advice Replaced dampening straps. Did all 4 as 2 were broken and figure the other 2 (there are 4) would soon. Easy after you get the top off of the washer. Just held by 2 screws. Why there are 2 different hex head screws rather then there all being the same I don't know, so you need 2 different wrenches to remove the strap. Other then that went well. They were smart enough to make the hard to reach screws that fasten to the washer frame captive so you do not have them falling into the base of the machine like I was afraid would happen. I think it took 1 hour to take apart, replace the straps and put covers back on. Now quiet as new when stopping., --bill Was this review helpful to you?

text: Last year our school district was fortunate to receive a $12,000 grant to fund a handheld computing project. We chose the iPod touch (a.k.a., "iTouch") as our handheld solution for a variety of reasons. The iTouch is fast and portable. The students stay on task because we can control the apps they are using. There are apps available in all subject areas that focus on specific classroom objectives. We purchased 18 iTouch units for our high school and 30 units for our middle school, grades 5-8. They were implemented as "portable labs" (15 to 20 units in a small bag that can be used by any of the classroom teachers). With many different teachers using the iTouch sets, we learned a lot about using them in the classroom.

"The shapeless mass of darkness split apart. It sundered, and a pale spindle of light gleamed between his open arms. In the oval of light there moved a human shape: a tall woman...beautiful, and sorrowful, and full of fear." - from A Wizard of Earthsea, first in a tetralogy that includes The Tombs of Atuan and The Farthest Shore, introduces the listener to Ged, the greatest sorcerer in all Earthsea, known also as Sparrowhawk. When Sparrowhawk casts a spell that saves his village from destruction at the hands of the invading Kargs, Ogion, the Mage of Re Albi, encourages the boy to apprentice himself in the art of wizardry. So, at the age of 13, the boy receives his true name - Ged - and gives himself over to the gentle tutelage of the Master Ogion. But impatient with the slowness of his studies and infatuated with glory, Ged embarks for the Island of Roke, where the highest arts of wizardry are taught. There, Ged's natural talents enable him to surpass his classmates in little time. But when his vanity prompts him to summon Elfarran, the fair lady of the Deed of Enlad, he unleashes a shapeless mass of darkness - the shadow.

"Elegant & unique fantasy, deliciously performed"
I can't believe I didn't listen to or read this book sooner. Ursula K. Le Guin has rekindled my believe that fantasy can be a legitimate literary genre.
Charming and entertaining like a fairy tale but simultaneously dripping with the suspense, drama, and authenticity of a Viking Saga or Epic Poem, A Wizard of Earthsea (the first of the series) cannot be ignored by any serious fantasy reader. So much sub-par fantasy is written in this, age of World of Warcraft and Eragon, that it's refreshing to have Ursula K. Le Guin to discover and delight in.
The narrator of this book makes it sound like he is recounting an ancient tale around some campfire in the Iron Age. Amazing!
Hey Audible, don't raise prices and I promise to buy lots more books.
"A Classic"
While Ursula K. Le Guin wrote several novels about the fantasy world of Earthsea, A Wizard of Earthsea appears to be the first of the main cycle by that name. I found it difficult to pin down whether the series is written for children and/or adults. I concluded that while there are a number of philosophical themes that adults could appreciate, the target audience was probably that of a younger age. Let's say YAs.
Further, on the subject of age, this is basically the coming of age story of a young mage named Ged who is drawn to wizardry and develops into just that as the story unfolds. There's much in the way of magic, spells and personal discovery along the way. However, as Ged learns, all of the power and might of of a wizard comes with a price. Wizardry is not for the faint-hearted nor is its magic lightly wielded by the ignorant or arrogant. Much of this is taught Ged by Ogion his primary mentor along with his own life's little (and not so little) foibles in and around Earthsea. Does all this sound a bit familiar?
The monster of the story we learn is… uh, not so fast. That would be a major spoiler. And I believe the book is worth reading to discover that as well as the other things Ged learns along his way through apprenticeship and personal discovery. The book is very straight forward. That appears to be Le Guin's style. After recently reading a bunch of China Mielville prior to Earthsea, the latter was a refreshingly, relaxing read. However, we probably should not be fooled by her simplicity. Contained within the pages are a depth and breath that can be easily missed if we're not paying attention. What can I say; it's obviously a classic and who could not recommend that.
"This one is a classic for a reason"
Incredibly engaging, masterfully crafted, full of some of the best-written and most complex wizards you will find in literature, A Wizard of Earthsea is the fantasy genre at its absolute finest.
Those of us who read a lot of fantasy have read too many "kid goes to wizard school" books. Many are badly written with flat characters and predictable plotlines. Ursula Le Guin dazzles in this book, which though originally published in 1968, reads as fresh and new and inspiring as all great art does. The old fantasy archetypes are brilliantly and creatively revisited, and adventure abounds.
Anyone who loves fantasy will love Earthsea, and those who don't may find this an ideal introduction. Kids, adults, you name it, Earthsea is short, well-paced, suspenseful, epic, and a delight to read. This audiobook version is excellent.
"A little gem, excellently narrated."
A Wizard of Earthsea is the first installment of Ursula K. Le Guin's classic fantasy. Having read the Earthsea novels (five in all, plus a collection of short tales) years ago, I was very happy with this audio version, which is beautifully done. Re-visiting Earthsea, it's interesting to notice how many of what are now conventions of fantasy writing were in fact pioneered by Le Guin so long ago.
One thing that's different about her books: the writing is beautiful but spare. She can tell you in a few paragraphs what other fantasy writers seem to need long chapters to explain. Each of the Earthsea books comes in at something around 200 pages, quite a contrast to the bloated tomes of so many contemporary fantasy writers.
"Perfect voice"
Rob Inglis has the perfect voice for this book. He gives the story weight, gravity and power. I can't imagine anyone else reading it!
I like scifi and urban fantasy. I don't like romance novels. If you are the same my reviews should help.
"A good take on a classic book"
Yes, the book is as good as I remember as a child.
The whole world was memorable. Like revisiting an old friend after a long absence.
The range of voices could be better. More emotion could be added to the reading, although this may be due to the lyrical Tolkien-esque style of the writing.
This is a classic that I read as a child that still holds up. If you've never read the book or series you owe it to yourself. The pacing is slower than a lot of tradtional fantasy and it is still formulaic, but it works. It is more along the lines of Lord of the Rings than current faster paced novels. This is the novel that really popularized the use of true names as a magic system, for that alone it's a classic.
"wonderful reminder of an old favorite"
absorbing the deatail - i tend to speed read so as always listening to books ive read is a treat
the textured appreciation that one makes mistakes and pays for them
hard to say as it all fits togehter in such a balanced manner
not really; but i did feel the shared satisfaction of finally facing ones demons
Audible needs to present the missing books of the series asap
"I love this story!"
I use this story with my English 9 class, not just because it fits so well with my curriculum, but because it is such a good story. I first read it as part of my children's lit class in university and found myself enjoying it so much I read the remaining books in the series just for fun.
"A Classic, Direct From Cassette."
I was in elementary school when I first got the Tombs of Atuan on cassette from the library. A Wizard of Earthsea is an even better book, and I'm truly happy to have it to listen to whenever I want. As the main character grows, he learns to balance his desire for power with the need to use it responsibly, and to understand the consequences of his actions before taking them.
It's a very classic coming-of-age story and the setting is immense, rich and powerful.
This recording was not re-done for audible, it is the original Recorded Books cassette recording, including the directions to change cassettes every so often. That's rather jarring, because it's a good 30 seconds of gap here and there with the "please fast forward to the end of the cassette before loading the next one..... A Wizard of Earthsea, Cassette X"
I really wish they'd edited this better to remove those. Just a small touch that really would have made the book more enjoyable to listen to. The story itself is a classic, but for audio, the listening experience matters a lot. That definitely takes it down a notch.
"A must for any fantasy lover."
the earthsea is a wonderful workd of ordinary people and amazing powers. A true delight for the imagination.

The Falcons advance to 10-9 overall, 4-5 in league play while the Crusaders dip to 12-7, 6-3.
Midway through the second half, both teams saw their fifth and final tie game of the night at 69 with 9:54 remaining. Starting with a Danny Smith (Baltimore, MD) layup, Pfeiffer would explode out on a 15-0 run to grab an 84-69 lead with 3:44 to play. Elijah Matthews (Clinton, MD) and KC Anuna (Nashville, TN) would drain back-to-back threes in the spurt while a three-point play from Smith got it to a 15-point advantage.
A pair of Darryl Durham (Atlanta, GA) free throws and jumper by Terrone Sheffey (Dallas, NC) cut the lead back down to 11 with 3:17 left until Jay Council (Camden, SC) got it down to 10 after a quick Smith lay in. After Councils three at the 2:43 mark, the Falcons would not need another field goal knocking down their 23 shots from the line.
Earlier in the contest, Belmont Abbey would take as much as a six-point lead with 14:26 to play in the first half after a triple from Sheffey. After a layup by Reggie Hollinger (Orlando, FL) put the Falcons up as much as seven, 42-35, with 2:39 to go, a pair of Tyshawn Good (Jamaica, NY) free throws and final three-pointer with four ticks left cut the Pfeiffer lead down to 48-47 at the break.
On the night, Pfeiffer shot 54% from the field and 45% from behind the arc connecting on 13 triples. Hollinger posted a team-high 27 followed closely by Smiths 2. Anuna and Matthews each put up 20-point nights as Anuna finished at 22 while Matthews concluded with 20.
Belmont Abbey was led by a career-high 28 from Sheffey shooting 47% as a team. Good would finish with 20 on the night as the visitors put five in double-figures. The Crusaders would hit on 11 threes at a 48% clip and 19-of-23 from the free throw line.

PORTLAND, Ore. -- The LA Galaxy are on the ground in the Rose City ahead of Saturday's match against the Portland Timbers at JELD-WEN Field.
Above is a photo snapped of Crater Lake from the air. The lake and the surrounding national park are about four and a half hours outside of Portland. The Rose City carries a special place in my heart as it was the site of my very first game as the LA Galaxy Insider last July.
On the ground here in Portland, both teams trained at JELD-WEN Field in preparation for Saturday's match.
There is plenty of news from the Timbers side as forward Frederic Piquionne is back from international duty with Martinque and may be available for the match against the Galaxy. If he is available, expect the forward to be a reserve as he played 80 minutes in Martinque's Gold Cup match against Panama on Thursday. Timbers boss Caleb Porter is quick to label is side the "underdogs" against the two-time defending Galaxy, but says that is side is expected to be motivated for Saturday.
In the latest edition of View from the Booth, Cobi Jones and Joe Tutino analyze the LA Galaxy match against the Portland Timbers.
Check it out below...
CARSON, Calif. – Following the LA Galaxy's final training session at StubHub Center before departing for Saturday's match against the Portland Timbers, LA head coach Bruce Arena offered his thoughts on the team's opponents and a host of other topics.
Arena touches on Portland's turf field, the continued improvement of Robbie Rogers, and a number of other issues.
His quotes are below…
(On facing the Portland Timbers…)
ARENA: "Good team. They've had a good year to date."
(On what the Timbers do best…)
ARENA: "They've got the best goalkeeper in the league. [Donovan Ricketts] makes big saves and keeps them in games. He's probably responsible for half their wins this year. They don't win many games. They've got seven wins and nine ties. I think that Ricketts is responsible for half of those results."
(On Portland missing several key players this week…)
ARENA: "Does anybody playing a violin when we're missing players? Who cares? You have to get out there & play."
(On how hard it is to play on JELD-WEN's Turf Field…)
ARENA: "This is the best one available. The other ones in the league are really atrocious and they shouldn't be allowed. This is a good field. The fields in Seattle, Vancouver, and New England are not good fields, this is a good field…It is the best. It's a good field. Technically, I don't know where that field comes from, but it has been the best one. It's a good field. They've made it a little bit bigger as well, so no excuses there."
(On how LA's winning streak has helped the team's morale…)
ARENA: "We'll see as we train tomorrow and continue to go."
(On the play of Robbie Rogers…)
ARENA: "It's been improving. It's been a little slow, but over the last couple of weeks, we've seen him make some good progress. We're hopeful that it continues."
(On the hoopla when he joined and whether it was a factor…)
ARENA: "It's never been an issue with us. That's why he's here. The issue is whether he can help us on the field."
(On what Rogers still needs to do to improve…)
ARENA: "Just get fitter, get his touch better, and everything. He's now in position where he's coming out of preseason so he has to catch up to the rest of the group. We've seen that even with a player like [Landon Donovan], it took Landon a long period of time to get up to speed with the rest of the team, and that's been the case for Robbie as well."
(On whether Rogers is at 75 percent…)
ARENA: "I never know how you do that with the numbers and all. Like scales of whatever, I never quite get it. I think that he's a little bit away from where he needs to be, but he's getting closer."
CARSON, Calif. – Parity in MLS is nothing new, and despite the LA Galaxy's early season struggles, the club is in striking distance of the top spot in MLS. However, as close as LA are to the league summit, they're just as close to falling out of the five Western Conference playoff berths.
Currently just seven points separate the Western Conference's best club Real Salt Lake (34 points) from the sixth team in the West, the Colorado Rapids (27 points). LA sits in the thick of the race just four behind RSL, but three ahead of the Rapids.
"It shows that there's a lot of parity and no one is running away with it in this league, but you could look at it in two ways—yes, we're four points out, but we're also a couple points of being out of the playoffs," said defender Todd Dunivant. "It could go either way. It's encouraging on one hand, but we know that there's a lot of heat coming from behind us as well. Seattle has games in hand and other teams have games in hand as well. It's close all the way around."
Should a couple of results go LA's way this week then the Galaxy will inch ever closer to the top of the table. If LA defeats Portland on Saturday and second place FC Dallas defeat RSL then the Galaxy would sit just a single point back of the conference lead.
"It could go that way or we could be down seven again," says Dunivant. "It's tight and it's going to be tight. We just want to keep collecting points and keep moving up the table. Obviously, the top three is our ultimate goal. We'd love to [have] the Supporters' Shield, I think that anyone would, but that's not what we're talking about. We just want to keep moving up the table, keep getting points, and we'll talk about that stuff as we get down to the last few games of the season."
Dunivant admits that while he does watch the standings, he won't allow LA's placement to distract him or the team.
"We've been through it enough and we know that top three is the most important thing," said Dunivant. "Obviously, seeding matters, but at this point we're just over half way through the season and there's such a long way to go that to talk about that stuff would be foolish at this point."
CARSON, Calif. – Former Chivas USA midfielder Laurent Courtois continued to train with the LA Galaxy and following Thursday's session, Galaxy head coach and general manager Bruce Arena offered his take on what he's seen from the versatile Frenchman.
"Nothing that I don't already know, I've seen him for a number of years with Chivas," said Arena. "He's a good player."
As for whether or not Courtois could earn a deal with the Galaxy, Arena said that no decision has been made right now.
"It remains to be seen. We'll see if this continues," Arena said. "It is open right now and at some point, it'll end with a determination."
Montreal's Marco Di Vaio defeats Robbie Keane in MLS All-Star "In the Game" race for final spot on Fan XI
Montreal Impact forward Marco Di Vaio defeated LA Galaxy forward Robbie Keane in the AT&T MLS All-Star 'In the Game' Challenge' to lock down the final spot in the MLS All-Star Fan XI, the league announced on Thursday.
Fans utilizing the Impact forward scored 73,838 goals through FIFA Soccer 13, which outpaced the other 26 eligible players. According to the release, Keane finished second to Di Vaio with 69,797 goals.
In total, more than 480,000 goals were scored by fans.
Remember, this doesn't mean that Keane can't make the All-Star team as he can still be selected through player voting or as a commissioner's selection.
CARSON, Calif. – Former LA Galaxy midfielder Mike Muñoz returned to the club on Wednesday as he became a member of the Galaxy Academy coaching staff.
A former Academy coach with Chivas USA and Real Salt Lake, Muñoz has also spent time as an assistant coach with Chivas and the U.S. Under-15 national team.
On Wednesday, I spoke to Muñoz about his new position and how his move to the Galaxy came about.
My conversation with the new LA Galaxy Academy coach is below…
LA GALAXY INSIDER: (On how his move from Chivas USA materialized…)
MUNOZ: "[Galaxy Academy Director Pete Vagenas] approached Chivas to begin to have conversations with me, and obviously, Chivas granted permission to have those conversations. I knew Pete from years of playing [in MLS], but when he gave me a phone call and we met, the reality is that the opportunity was too good to pass up. I'm very excited about Pete being the Academy Director. I loved his vision for this club and where he wants to take the academy, especially with the full support of [Galaxy head coach and general manager] Bruce Arena and [LA Technical Director] Jovan Kirovski. It was a no-brainer after that."
LAGI: (On what he might have gained from working with Chivas…)
MUNOZ: "When I originally came over from Salt Lake, I was able to work with the first team under former [Chivas USA] coaches Robin Fraser and Greg Vanney for almost two years. That experience at the first team level and being able to bring it back to the kids, such as what it takes to be a professional, is the biggest thing that I got out of it."
LAGI: (On what the past season was like with Chivas…)
MUNOZ: "100 percent, this [past season] was the hardest challenge of my young coaching career. My number one priority was to protect my players and the academy players from everything that was happening on the outside, and just making sure that we focused on our objectives and goals to further their development as we had done over the past two years. I think that I did a pretty good job of that, but at the same time, it was very challenging."
LAGI: (You say that you protected the players, what does that mean?)
MUNOZ: "I just told them to try and stay focused, and not worry about what is happening with the first team or Academy Director [Teddy Chronopoulos] getting fired. [I told them] just to make sure that they were focused on their own development and our team. For the most part, we did a good job by getting to the playoffs and winning the Southwest conference. We fell short [of an Academy title], but I think for the most part, everyone is going to walk away a better person and better player."
LAGI: (On how the Academy will change under Peter Vagenas and how he plans to help…)
MUNOZ: "Listen, first and foremost, our number one objective is to produce players for the first team, and produce players for Bruce's eyes—players that can jump right in immediately and contribute. Everything that Bruce does with his staff will be implemented all the way down to the Academy. At the same time, our academy teams need to have an identity for themselves as well. Pete's vision is to create this top-to-bottom unification of style, systems and all that kind of stuff. Like I said, our number one objective is producing not only a good player for the first team, but also a good human being."
LAGI: (On his thoughts on the Galaxy Academy after being an outsider…)
MUNOZ: "One of the biggest reasons why I came over was because the Galaxy, in my opinion, is the best and biggest club in the country with the best talent pool in Southern California. It's only a matter of time before we're going to blow this thing up and really become the dominant force in the Development Academy out of all the clubs in MLS."
LAGI: (On how he changes the Galaxy's reputation of a "recruiting" academy…)
MUNOZ: "Listen, it's a process. It starts all the way to our affiliate clubs with our younger kids, U-12's, and making it go all the way up. From what I hear and what I see, our 10 and 11-year-olds that we're starting through this system are very exciting. Our U-14's are one of the best teams in the country, so listen, it's a process and it's going to take time to see the fruits of our labor. But we're starting to scratch the surface of what the potential could be."
LAGI: (On any interesting players that he sees on the roster…)
MUNOZ: "Haji Wright is a kid who has been part of the U-15 national team and a kid that I got to work with on national team camps. He really has a bright future and I would say that he's the most exciting player that I can think of right now."
LAGI: (On whether he'll stay active in the U.S. Under-15 National Team…)
MUNOZ: "That's only a part time job with camps and tournaments. As far as I know, I'll continue to work with that. The club is very supportive of me working with the national team, so that will continue."
LAGI: (On his growth over the past few years…)
MUNOZ: "Making this move finally is what I've always envisioned, what I've always wanted, and what always strived for in my career. Coming to the Galaxy there is going to be more growth in my development as a coach. Whether it's working with the U-23's or the reserves or other opportunities to be a part of the first team down the road, was very intriguing for my move. It's been a rapid increase in my career and I've learned a lot along the way and I've had a lot of important mentors as well. I've just tried to learn from all the positive and negative experiences, and I know that will continue here as well."
CARSON, Calif. – The LA Galaxy announced on Wednesday that former LA player Mike Muñoz had joined the Galaxy Academy coaching staff.
Muñoz has coached at the Academy level with Chivas USA and Real Salt Lake. He has also spent time as an assistant coach with Chivas USA and the U.S. U-15 team. It has been reported that Muñoz will coach the club's Under-16 team, but there has been no official announcement on his placement in the staff yet.
"Mike Munoz is an accomplished young coach with a proven track record and we are excited to be adding him to our coaching staff," said LA Galaxy Academy Director Peter Vagenas said in a statement. "The Galaxy Academy will continue to help nurture and produce players for our first team and Mike, who has already shown the ability to develop young talent, will play a major role in that endeavor."
A graduate of the University of California, Berkeley, Muñoz played three seasons in MLS over the course of four years with Chivas USA and the Galaxy.
"It is an honor to be a part of this club and to work with the LA Galaxy Academy," said Muñoz, who ended his playing a career and began his coaching career with the Galaxy. "The primary reason that I decided to join the staff is Peter Vagenas and the rest of his coaching staff. I have enormous amount of respect for Pete as a player and as a person and I know he is the right man for this job to move the program forward. I'm very excited to get started and helping to continue to grow the Galaxy Academy."
The 2014 AT&T MLS All-Star Game is heading to Portland
MLS announced on Wednesday that Portland's JELD-WEN Field will host the 2014 MLS All-Star Game, marking the first time that the game has been played in Cascadia.
"The Portland Timbers and their passionate fans have certainly earned the honor of hosting the 2014 AT&T MLS All-Star Game," said Commissioner Don Garber in a statement. "This match will showcase to an international audience the incredible devotion to the game in the Pacific Northwest that serves as one of the most important stories for our league."
The game is still a year away, but are you planning to make the trip to Portland for the match?

Landon Donovan added another page to the U.S. Soccer history book on Tuesday when he became the first U.S. player to tally 50 goals and 50, after tallying one goal and two assists during the Americans 6-1 victory over Belize in the opening match of the 2013 CONCACAF Gold Cup.
Donovan notched his 50th assist when he fired a pinpoint cross to Stuart Holden that gave the Americans a 4-1 lead in the 58th minute. The Galaxy midfielder notched his 51st assist just 14 minutes later when he provided a helper on Michael Orozco Fiscal's finish. Donovan wasn't the only star on the night as San Jose Earthquakes forward Chris Wondolowski scored his first hat trick of his international career with three goals in the first half.
In the 78th minute, Donovan put the capper on the night for the Americans with a penalty kick goal that gives him 52 goals and 51 assists in his 146 appearances with the U.S. National Team.
The U.S. returns to action on July 13 against Cuba at Rio Tinto Stadium in their second match in Group C.

In 2008, she announced her intention to run for the 37th State House seat, which was left open by the retirement of Democrat Aldo Vagnozzi, who could not run for re-election due to term limits. She was unopposed in the Democratic primary, but faced Republican Paul Welday in the General Election. Welday was the chief of staff to former Republican Congressman Joe Knollenberg, and the election was generally thought to be competitive. However, Barnett's popularity as mayor, as well as the coattails of then-candidate Barack Obama led Barnett to an easy 60%-40% victory over Welday.

Redburn Pro Women RRP $ 139.00
In contrast to its older siblings, it incorporates a slightly stiffer insole, a more grippy Sticky Rubber compound, a Poro wedge and a conventional tongue construction. All other components and the comfortable fit are identical to the Redburn models: patented Mammut Base Fit lacing transfers power to the soles and prevents pressure points and slipping in the boot. The high-grip gripex Cougapproach sole developed by Mammut ensures safety and comfort on ascents. The high breathability of the open-pored 3D liner fabric guarantees a pleasant temperature. Rubber and velours leather reinforcements are combined with board lasting for protection and durability.
Shoes must be protected from water, wet conditions and dirt. Since wet conditions and dirt affect leather's natural properties, such as temperature control and comfort, shoe care is a very important area.
- Use a brush to remove any dirt, or brush the shoe under running water to remove persistent soiling
- Leather cleaning products are not recommended since the soap damages the waterproofing treatment
- After cleaning the shoes, rub in the appropriate wax or silicone-based care products or polish them using a soft brush
- Dry leather needs nutrients in the form of wax (no grease or oil). Apply a very thin layer and then work into the leather
- The application of wax makes nubuk or velours leather appear darker and smoother. Liquid care products maintain the leather's original appearance for longer, but provide fewer nutrients
- The best way to clean the lining (textile, GORE-TEX® and leather) is using lots of cold water and a sponge. The lining retains high quantities of salt from perspiration. In the long term, these can have a damaging effect on textiles and leather lining materials.

The very best for most feet. I love the glide and my client's love the scent.
Smells great, good glide, clients cannot feel or smell this foot balm. So good for the therapist but the client cannot tell your using a special cream for the feet.
Been using this product for 2 years now on myself and patients. Great product.
I have just started looking for the perfect foot balm and I am still looking. This is the 2nd one I tried and although it does what it says it does it just dosnt give me that "WOW" factor. I feel that tingling feeling after the massage but only very slightly. Maybe what I'm looking for doesnt exist. but until I find it, I will buy this again.
I love the product but the economical pump turned out to waste a lot of product that just wouldn't pump. I wish they had a refillable tube.
The Occupational Safety and Health Administration requires that MSDS be available to employees for potentially harmful substances handled in the workplace under the Hazard Communication regulation.

Compression sacks are compression sacks, they squish stuff and that's it, right? Well, kind of. As far as squishing stuff goes all of my compression sacks do a good job. The differentiating factor is how much of a tangled mess they become when not in use. This is where the Ultra-Sil shines. The lid is attached to the sack and while that doesn't sound like a big deal it makes the sack the easiest to use of all the compression sacks I have used. As far as compression sacks go it's a game changer.
i have one of each size small through large and use them for everything when I backpack. I even use them for regular travel (pack the shit out of one and take my messenger bag with the rest) so freaking great. Awesome. Get one or three.
This is a super great compression sack, that will get your down feather sleeping bag to the size of a grapefruit. It was a great decision buying this with my western mountaineering summerlite sleeping bag. I am extremely happy with this purchase! Go buy one now, from moosejaw. Buy it.
I took this on a two-week camping trip in Africa. I stubbornly decided I would do the entire trip with a 33L backpack - tent and all! I stuffed my Big Agnes Fly Creek 2-person tent, my Mountain Hardwear Ultralamina sleeping bag, and my pack towel in this thing and crammed it into the bottom of my bag. For the record, that's roughly 10 pounds of crap in a 5 pound bag. Basically, I abused it like a red headed step child every day for two weeks. Just get it - a solid stuff sack is a traveler's best friend.
I have a 10 year old sleeping bag (but it still works reallllly good i swear) that my brother borrowed and lost the stuff sack for. I have never use a compression sack for my sleeping bage before but i love this one. It gets my bag super small.

A "Case" Study of an Entrepreneur: Innovator, Company-Builder, Catalyst for Growth
Capital Connection'12, a nationally recognized technology industry conference, will hear from the ultimate entrepreneur, Steve Case, who will speak on national entrepreneurial trends, new investment initiatives and real-time public policy that impacts businesses today. As the plenary speaker for the 25th Anniversary Capital Connection on May 24, Mr. Case will highlight significant milestones along his journey as part of the closing session wrapping up a 1½ day conference showcasing the best and brightest entrepreneurs at all stages of growth.
"Steve Case's personal journey as an innovator and Internet pioneer at AOL; entrepreneurial champion and investor of companies such as Zipcar and LivingSocial; and public policy influencer working closely with President Obama, Democrats and Republicans in Congress, provides him with the particularly unique vantage of providing critical insight for anyone in the business of building a high performing company," said Julia Spicer, Executive Director of the Mid-Atlantic Venture Association. "Whether from his early days as a previous Capital Connection presenter to his influential role today in championing and investing in entrepreneurial causes, it is still his self-described moniker as entrepreneur first and foremost that makes him such a credible voice of interest to our attendees."
Steve Case co-founded America Online (AOL) in 1985, when the Internet was in its infancy. Under his leadership as Chairman and CEO, AOL became the world's largest and most valuable Internet company. At the peak of the Internet boom, he negotiated what remains the largest merger in business history, bringing together AOL and Time Warner. He served as Chairman of the Board of the combined company (then known as AOL Time Warner) until 2003. Returning to his entrepreneurial roots, he has partnered with more than a dozen entrepreneurs as an investor and mentor. Mr. Case created Revolution in 2005 to oversee his rapidly expanding investments; most recently, closing the $450 million Revolution Growth fund launched in December 2011 with Ted Leonsis and Donn Davis to focus on backing high-growth companies that are leveraging Internet technologies to transform existing industries.
The success of AOL, coupled with Mr. Case's post-AOL track record of building businesses through Revolution, led CNBC to call him "one of the nation's greatest entrepreneurs." Mr. Case is also Chairman of the Case Foundation, a private family foundation he established in 1997 with his wife Jean. Currently, he is a member of President Obama's Council on Jobs and Competitiveness; Chairman of the Startup America Partnership; co-chair of the National Advisory Council on Innovation and Entrepreneurship; and co-chair of The Democracy Project.
Mr. Case will give the closing keynote speech the afternoon of May 24. Following his presentation will be the final event of the Capital Connection'12 conference, the TechBUZZ Showdown. Companies voted the "Best of the BUZZ" on May 23, will advance to the TechBUZZ Showdown. Companies will pitch their innovative businesses to the entire Capital Connection audience and one TechBUZZ company will emerge as the 2012 champion.
Key features in this year's Capital Connection and TechBUZZ conference:
Capital ConnectionTM, one of the nation's most respected industry conferences, will be held this year on May 23-24 at the Omni Shoreham Hotel in Washington, D.C. Registration for Capital Connection'12 with its featured innovative TechBUZZ event is now open on the conference website located at www.capitalconnection.org.
About Capital ConnectionTM
In its 25th year, Capital Connection brings together the broad community of entrepreneurial companies and potential partners to help enhance business and economic growth. Opinion leaders from business and government share their knowledge and expertise, along with leading technology companies at all growth stages who showcase their capabilities to a nationwide audience of investors, advisors, partners and entrepreneurs at the annual signature event. Launched in 2011, TechBUZZ provides start-ups and seed-stage companies center stage in spotlighting the "next big thing." For more information and to register, go to www.capitalconnection.org.
About TechBUZZ
TechBUZZ was first piloted in 2010 and launched in May 2011 as a half-day conference preceding Capital Connection in response to the growing impact start-ups and seed-stage companies are having in recent years on the investment ecosystem overall. MAVA is dedicated to continuing to foster and celebrate this vital area of our membership by bringing together investors and entrepreneurs in a dynamic and meaningful format. TechBUZZ shines a well-deserved light on the visionary innovators and company-builders in our region who are actively developing their concepts, testing their beta or prototype products and services and pursuing a path toward market entry.

Trial, error and the God complex
Economics writer Tim Harford studies complex systems — and finds a surprising link among the successful ones: they were built through trial and error. In this sparkling talk from TEDGlobal 2011, he asks us to embrace our randomness and start making better mistakes.

Jamarica Jones, a longtime poet and Shelby resident, recently published her first book, "Legacy in Words."
"Basically, it is a book of poetry," said Jones, "I've always thought, 'Well maybe I'll do a book one day.'"
Jones has been writing for years. She was encouraged by her friends, family and church family to publish a book of her poems.
When she was first contacted by a publishing company, Jones said she prayed about the decision.
"At first I said no, I'm not going to do it," she said. "A month or so later, he called back and I said yes."
'As things happened, I wrote'
Jones said her love of writing came as a result of her love of reading, which she developed as a child.
A former public health nurse for 35 years, Jones began writing fresh out of nursing school.
"When I graduated nursing school, I was working nights. I had time to think. And then just over the years, as things happened, I wrote," she said.
Now retired from her job at the Cleveland County Health Department, Jones has even more time to spend on writing. She has done some writing over that time and has also focused more on what she calls her "sub-hobby" of creating Christmas ornaments.
'I look at things that happen around me'
Jones' poetry ranges across many subjects, things that everyone can relate to in one way or another.
"Most of the time when I write, I look at things that happen around me," she said.
She has written about her children and grandchildren. "Wings of Love" is about her daughter.
"I did one recently about the Alzheimer's mind," she said. She also writes about aging in "Autumn of Life."
"It talks about the changes that we don't want to come to," said Jones.
Many times, her poems carry a message to the current generation. One is called "Slow Down."
"We had four or five youth that got killed going to school," she said, "I started thinking about how a mother might feel."
So she wrote the poem from a mother's perspective.
She has also written about Black History Month.
Jones shows how we often forget about black history the rest of the year i n "Is February the Only Time I'm Black?"
"Actually, you should be talking about these things all year long," she said.
"Legacy in Words" has a religious section, too.
"A lot of the things that I write end up being religious. Faith is a big part of who I am and what I am," said Jones.
A network of writers
Since she started sharing her work, she said she has met many others like herself.
"I didn't realize that there were so many writers," she said.
Jones met a teenager in her church who writes short stories. She has also met poets in her church and through writing groups.
"I was part of the Tuesday Night Gang," she said.
She was also part of the Carolina Scribes, a writers group affiliated with the Cleveland County Arts Center. One of her poems was published in their book, "Hearts and Minds of Cleveland County," which is available for purchase at the Arts Center.
The poem is called "Excuse Me Young Man." Like many of her poems, it, too, has a message, this time to young men who might be wasting their talents by doing drugs or dropping out of school.
"We have such talented young men, but they tend to not use the skills that God has given them," she said.
A legacy of words
When people read her poems, Jones said she hopes they will find they have experienced something similar or know someone who has. She also hopes they might be encouraged.
But her main reason is found in the title of the book: "Legacy in Words."
"The reason I wrote the book is for my children and grandchildren," said Jones.
As her poem of the same name says, " W hen the children read this book -- Of poetry they will see-My legacy in words-A gift to them from me."
'Maybe it will encourage you'
At a poetry reading, Jones started with "Autumn of our Lives." Her lyrical, strong voice read the lines about enjoying autumn and preparing for the winter.
When asked if there is another book in the works, Jones said, "There may be."
Her work involves many more poems that have yet to be published. And she is currently developing a new character to write about, Mae Ann.
People have said her book of poetry is a fast read.
Jones simply said of her poems, "Some of them will make you laugh; some will bring a tear to your eye. Maybe it will encourage you to pick up a pen and start writing."
"Legacy in Words" is available from trafford.com; amazon.com; and barnesandnoble.com for $11.95. It is also available as a Kindle e-book for $3.99 and a Nook book for $3.47.

Comments about Nokon MTB Shift System:
If your bike needs fully housed cabling like mine this will not work, it has very small segments of housing so about 75% of housing would be missing, tremendously expensive for what it really is. If you need a fully encased cable you would require at least 5 or six times as much housing, ending with a cabling system of over $500, probably one of the most expensive parts on any bike.

You can easily look at sectors of the consumer electronics market right now and see long standing assumptions about how the market factors dictating consumer purchasing that were thought to be very well understood in some cases are flat out wrong. This isn't due to the observations being wrong, but rather there being underlying factors that analysts couldn't see before.
This is precisely the point I was making. History, in the sense you are indicating, is the collection of data without a sufficient theory to make reliable predictions in cases where no observations exist. Business forecasts are not reliable; this is why economics is known (as burt reminds us) as the "dismal science".
You keep claiming that history can't make predictions, but it does all the time. And very successfully I might add. You may not think so, but you'd be completely wrong. The fact we even have an internet to communicate with is proof of how strong humans have become at studying past events and using them to make successful predictions.
Pardon me if I scoff mildly at the notion that internet technology was developed by "historians". Perhaps you can provide us with a few insights about the way that the telecom hardware manufacturers blossomed into a fabulous investment bubble in the late 90's and then suddenly crashed because their balance sheets were soaked with red ink from unprofitable investments. Predictions of exponential growth of internet infrastructure worldwide were not borne out by subsequent events. History is not a science. Business forecasts are not made scientifically.
MIT is hardly a "B-school" of science.
The abbreviation "B-school" refers to "Business School", which is the program I think you are enrolled in.
I think you may have a friend who is an astrophysics major. Possibly an imaginary friend. MIT has a very nice program in "open courseware". Perhaps you can make use of it to learn some astrophysics.
you have narrowed hsitory down too far. I don't see why things like the entertainment or electronics industries or the motor vehicle industries or economics in general or architecture or major segments of the art world etc aren't welcome in your version of what "history" is.
You don't see why? Well, then, everybody else must be wrong about it. The reason is that universities make artificial divisions among fields of knowledge in order to have focused academic programs and faculties. I don't like this situation any better than you do, but there it is. You can blur the distinctions between fields of knowledge until studying purchasing behavior in the consumer electronics industry becomes a subfield of astrophysics, for all I care, but you will not be able to publish your results in the Journal of Astrophysics.

Over the past several months the paper has covered the endless stream of complaints and lawsuits from Mr. Katz and Mr. Wright. They have received more free exposure than any other IVGID Trustee candidate by a wide margin.
Last week, they each received less than 5 percent of the vote and did not even make it to the run offs. In my opinion, these two are little more than self serving professional malcontents with a long history of litigation against public entities for their own gain.
My wife and I are long-term Incline residents and truly enjoy living here. We think the amenities that this village offer make it a special place to live. It is not perfect, but it is pretty darn close.
Let's cover the real stories, not just the squeaky wheels. The signs and T-shirts around town succinctly describe the problem — Incline does not have a bear problem, it has a Katz problem.
