Sunday is usually a big day for William Skenes. It's an occupational thing. He's a church pastor.
But as the final months of 2012 began, it became tougher for him to get to the pulpit at Cornerstone Baptist Church in Whitsett. He ached in his back and legs. Just rising from bed became a daily struggle. Many of his mornings began by falling to his knees as he left the bed, and pulling himself up on his feet by using a nightstand as a brace.
Most days he just felt awful.
"A lot of times I had to get someone to go in and preach for me because I just couldn't do it," Skenes, 72, says today.
It was a condition that started a couple of years ago and only got worse as time wore on. His doctor was puzzled. There seemed to be no answer at all.
Skenes pretty much gave up.
"It got so bad that I even told my children before Christmas that I wouldn't be here next year," Skenes says. "That's how far gone I was."
Then Skenes read a story in the Times-News. It changed his life.
The date was Friday, Dec. 28. The story was headlined, "A slow, slient killer." It was about Alan Stephens of Haw River and a mystery ailment that befuddled doctors as it decimated him bit by bit.
Skenes read the story carefully. He noted that Stephens' started with flu-like symptoms, persistent weakness, aches in his bones followed later by memory and other neurological problems. No one, it seemed, had an answer. Then Stephens' wife became sick as well and the founder of Genesis Solutions, a Burlington wellness program, did his own detective work online. By typing in his symptoms one of the potential culprits listed was carbon monoxide poisoning.
Stephens bought a carbon monoxide detector and found high levels of the toxic gas in his home. Its source was a problem in the ventilation system in his gas logs created when his house was remodeled.
The story set off an alarm bell for Skenes. "Could it be …", he wondered.
"I was experiencing the same situation," Skenes says. "I read that, went to Lowes and got me a detector, set it up and it went right off. My grandson-in-law is a firefighter. He came over and told me the detector had three bars."
Skenes traced the problem to a heating unit outside his house that wasn't functioning properly. He said most people think if the system is outdoors, that makes it safer.
Not always.
"Anybody that has gas in their house needs one of those detectors because it can go wrong at any time and you never know when it might happen," he said. "I could kick myself because I worked for the gas company 14 years."
Skenes said the Times-News story, written by reporter Steve Huffman, saved his life.
I was speechless when he first told me that. Every day we hope to inform people about a large variety of subjects. It's not often, though, that someone calls to tell us that something we print has such a profound impact. Makes me want to stay in the business a day or two longer.
"Right now I feel as good as I ever felt," he says. "I wanted to thank you for publishing the story and the man who gave it to you. I wanted you to know that I appreciate it.
"I can't express it enough."
I contacted Stephens to pass along the message. He wrote back immediately.
"Thanks, Madison, let me know if you need additional information on carbon monoxide poisoning. Before, I knew nothing about it, but my experience has forced me to become an expert. I feel as though God chose me to make this community aware."
Skenes would agree. He believes he isn't the only one helped by the story. He's doing his part to spread the word. Skenes says the $28 he spent for a carbon monoxide detector is perhaps the best money he ever invested, and he wants to tell folks so.
I asked him if it would be OK for me to write about his experiences. I might even mention what a good investment buying a newspaper is, too.
"I'd appreciate it," he said. "The more you get out of it, the better off people are going to be.
"(A smoke detector) doesn't cost but $28, but it saved my life, no doubt."

MISENHEIMER, N.C. – Junior Nick Brindley (Northampton, ENGLAND) netted a hat trick with three second half goals to lead the Pfeiffer Falcons to a 6-1 Conference Carolinas win over the visiting Belmont Abbey Crusaders in men's soccer action Saturday afternoon at N.E. Lefko Field. With the win, the Falcons improve to 3-2 overall, 1-0 in CC while the Crusaders fall to 1-2-1, 0-1.
Pfeiffer had early opportunities in the first half with Alex Landim (Brockton, MA) having a couple of good looks against Crusader goalkeeper Brandon Alvarez (Dallas, TX). Landim would finally cash in during the 28th minute as Jeff Cannon (Lewis Center, OH) found Landim for a shot taken just outside the 18-yard box for his second of the season and a 1-0 Falcons lead. Just 24 seconds later, Kash Knight (Gibsonville, NC) would score his team-leading fifth of the year thanks to a stolen and one-touch pass from Renato Barbosa (Charlotte, NC). Belmont Abbey managed five shots in the first 45 minutes with only one on goal.
Brindley tallied his first of the afternoon in the 61st minute off of helpers from Landim and Jeff Cannon (Lewis Center, OH). The Crusaders lone goal would come on a penalty kick scored by Emmanual Yamson (Silver Springs, MD) in the 72nd minute. Brindley would tally his own PK three minutes later, before completing the hat trick in the 81st minute. Ethan Sacco (Concord, NC) and Wilver Menacho (Charlotte, NC) would pick up assists on Brindley's final tally. Fahret Salihovic (Charlotte, NC) would bring Pfeiffer's goal total to a half-dozen with an unassisted goal in the final five minutes.
The men's soccer team will return to Lefko Field on homecoming weekend at 2:00 p.m. to take on the Anderson Trojans in another Conference Carolinas matchup. The Falcons next match takes place next Saturday at Queens.

Skiers and snowboarders thrilled on Stevens Pass opening day
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
A snowboarder catches air on his way down the mountain at Stevens Pass on Tuesday afternoon. Two lifts opened at the ski area at noon, making Stevens the first ski mountain in Washington to open this season.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Minutes before noon on Tuesday, the line snakes back onto the mountain as skiers and snowboarders wait to step onto the Brooks chairlift at Stevens Pass ski area for the first run of the season.

Skiers wait underneath the Brooks chairlift at Stevens Pass ski area before their first run down the mountain Tuesday afternoon. Two lifts opened at Stevens Pass ski area Tuesday at noon, making Stevens the first ski mountain in Washington to open this season.
Mark Mulligan / The Herald
Minutes before noon, skiers and snowboarders wait to step onto the Brooks chairlift at Stevens Pass ski area for the first run of the season Tuesday.
The Mill Creek resident and a couple of his friends arrived Tuesday morning more than an hour before Stevens Pass officially opened.
"I'm pretty stoked about (being first in line)," said Noren, 28. "I'll probably ski today through Sunday and go back to work Monday. I'm fortunate enough to make my own schedule."
"It is odd for us to be the first to open," said Chris Danforth, a Stevens Pass spokesman. "People are so excited just to get out on the snow. We have the snow, so let's get open. Let's let people go up and have some fun."
There was about two feet of snow at the mountain base for the noon opening, Danforth said. Stevens Pass stayed open until 4 p.m. and offered $20 lift passes. Those who showed annual passes from Stevens and any other mountain passes hit the slopes for free. The Daisy and Brooks chairlifts were open.
It was important for her family to be on the mountain the first day of the season, said Sarah Hudkins, 34. The Kirkland woman was snowboarding with her husband, Jason, and their children, Shayla, 18, and Gavin, 9.
"We took the kids out of school," she said. "A lot of teachers think we're crazy but we think it's so important to bring our kids to the mountain in the winter. It's family time and keeps them active."
"I wanted to go on Hogsback," Kaitlyn said.
More lifts will begin to open as more snow falls, Danforth said. He expects Skyline and Hogsback lifts will be next, as long as the weather cooperates.
"It looks like we may have more lifts open up in the next 24 hours," he said.
The fact there was enough snow for the pass to open before Thanksgiving was good enough for skier Erik Skvarch, of Baring. He was surprised when he heard on Monday that Stevens Pass was opening.
"I had to call and make sure it was true," said Skvarch, 33. "As soon as we got here it was perfect snow conditions; barely cold enough to snow and there's a little bit of blue sky poking through. You just couldn't ask for a better snow day."
Amanda Somes, who lives in Granite Falls, was learning how to snowboard for the first time. The 17-year-old admitted she fell "like 20 times" but that she and her boyfriend, Shaun Foldvik, 18, were committed to coming back to Stevens Pass soon.
"We're here for the rest of the season," she said.
Other ski resorts in the state are set to open this week. The Mt. Baker Ski Area is scheduled to open with limited operation today while Mission Ridge Ski & Board Resort plans to open on Friday.
The Summit at Snoqualmie and Mount Spokane Ski and Snowboard Park on Tuesday evening didn't have opening dates scheduled.
Amy Daybert: 425-339-3491; email@example.com.
Stevens Pass is scheduled to be open from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. today and Thanksgiving -- weather permitting. Lift tickets are priced at $39 through the holiday.

"This is a nice condo, walking distance to the Gondola and town with a great outdoor pool and hot tub area. We had some issues with the second bathroom and barking dogs next door and below us, but the management company handled our complaints quickly. If you're looking for luxury this is not for you, however this condo gets the job done at a reasonable price (for Aspen). We had a great vacation!"Guest: Chicago Mike Date of Stay: February 2015 Review Submitted: March 6, 2015View listing
"We stayed in Linda's condo for a week of Masters racing in Buttermilk. The condo is nice, clean, and comfortable. Linda responded to every email very quickly. The place is conveniently located close to the highway, but far enough to avoid any traffic noise. We can highly recommend this place as an alternative to expensive lodging in Aspen, as it is less than 20 min drive to Snowmass, Buttermilk, Highlands, and Aspen."Guest: Pavel B.

The home easily accommodated our two families, and has quick and easy access to Aspen, Snowmass Village, Basalt and other area towns. All four ski mountains are just minutes away. The home is ideal for all seasons, winter, spring, summer and fall, and has much to offer in each season. The owner was accessible and easy to work with. When we return, we will definitely try to get this home again. We would recommend it highly to anyone."Guest: Greg Date of Stay: March 2015 Review Submitted: March 30, 2015View listing
Aspen Travel Tips
Aspen is a premier Colorado ski town and popular destination during the winter months, although it is still pleasurable during the summer. Located just 11 miles west of the Continental Divide, Aspen was founded as a mining camp during the Colorado Silver Boom.
Aspen Attractions
Head to Maroon Bells where you can see the most photographed mountains in North America. There is a public bus from mid-June until Labor Day. The only way to access this location during the winter is by skiing or taking a snowmobile. You can also capture breathtaking views of Maroon Bells from the Aspen Highlands. Hike the 12,392 feet to the top using any one of the 122 trails or take the Deep Temerity lift to the summit.
Independence Pass is the halfway point between Aspen and Twin Lakes. There is a scenic overlook near the pass where visitors can see over the tree line and catch a glimpse of Mount Elbert, the highest peak in Colorado and second-highest mountain in the U.S.
Aspen Mountain is famous for its black-diamond terrain. The location was opened to the public in 1947 and offers skiers and snowboarders an experience unlike any other with a variety of glades, bumps and steeps. There are fantastic views and food at Sundeck on the mountain's summit and Ajax Tavern at its base. Enjoy fresh tracks on the backside of the mountain through the Aspen Mountain Powder Tours. Take on 64 miles of terrain with access to 76 trails. Head to the top of the mountain on one of eight lifts.
Smuggler Mine is at the northern edge of the city and the oldest operating silver mine in the Aspen mining district. The largest silver nugget ever mined came from Smuggler Mine and weighed in at more than one ton. During the mine's peak, it produced almost one-fifth of the world's silver output thanks to an extensive tunnel system that traveled more than 1,000 feet below the city of Aspen.
During the summer, visitors can go rafting down the Roaring Fork, Eagle or Colorado rivers and hike up the Elk Mountains for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Biking on Snowmass Mountain allows you to explore more than 50 miles of trails. Try the paintball course on Snowmass Mountain and ride the Elk Camp and Silver Queen gondolas up Snowmass. Fishing in the Roaring Fork and Frying Pan rivers is popular during the summer, as is spending the day in Glenwood Springs and Glenwood Canyon. Visit the historic ghost town of Ashcroft, learn more about its history and see the few buildings that still remain. For those who prefer to stay close to Aspen, rent a cruiser bike and go for a ride around town.

We already knew that Greyhounds at racetracks suffer immensely. But today, Greyhound advocate group GREY2K USA released a report that shows just how bad things are for dogs forced to race in Texas.
The report, produced with funding from the ASPCA, showed that at Texas racetracks:
• Greyhounds are forced to live in confined, stacked cages, with large Greyhounds being unable to stand fully erect in their cages.
• In 2012, six Greyhounds died at Gulf Greyhound Park from a form of canine influenza, often a recurring epidemic in cramped living situations.
• In 2011, a Texas Greyhound trainer failed to obtain veterinary care for an injured Greyhound until two days after the injury occurred.
• Greyhounds are fed 4-D meat from diseased animals to reduce costs.
The report also showed that1,507 greyhound injuries were reported at Texas racetracks from January 2008 through December 2011. Fifty-six of these injuries were fatal or required euthanasia, with the most commonly reported injury being broken legs. Other serious injuries reported included torn muscles, puncture wounds, a fractured skull and paralysis.
Frankly, we don't see why the Texas dog racing industry doesn't just throw in the towel—Lone Star State residents are way over dog racing. The report shows that gambling on dog racing and dog race attendance are way, way down.
Angry? Join the ASPCA Advocacy Brigade to stand up for animals.
I adopted her at age 2 as she did not want to run the whole track.
This put her in upper level of cages peeing & pooing on dogs below.
After 18 mos. of gruel training in Claire, OK, she was sent back to MA and immediately rescued by local org. 1 mon. later we met & I I adopted her. Dogs that don't win are isolated 20 hrs/day in cage. No contact with humans. Met lots of Greys 'til Ginger. She put her head on my knee (DID NOT JUMP) looked at me with her huge brown eyes and we fell in love. She is now 9 & frisky. PLEASE eliminate dog track practices.
I have owned 2 greys, my mother has owned one, my sister has owned one..They are beautiful creatures and should be treated as beloved pets instead of $$ making possessions. They are truly wonderful animals that are loving and loyal. They just want to be "dogs". Why can't people just wake up and stop the cruel and sometimes inhumane treatment of ALL animals! Someday, KARMA, will come back to get all the uncaring #$%^&$# and show them what it's like. Can't happen soon enough for Me! Too bad all the animal lovers can't be there to see their demise!
No names, not even one, of the people who are perpetrating this? Why must I have to read about it in your private emails. Surely someone in your organization must know a journalist who could give this wider attention! Remember Wicks the ball player? Why was he sent to prison and not these cowards? I certainly hope this isn't just to raise money! I'm sure it isn't but still.....
We used to obtain our dogs fron the now closed down.Dairyland Racetrack in WI. Now we get them from another state.I have seen these living conditions. We have gotten many an injured/sick dog in our rescue. A dog with urine burns cuz he couldn't stand up cuz of a broken leg. These dogs are so sweet and don't deserve. We are hoping to see the end of this racing in our lifetime.When they are done racing the dogs and they don't go into rescue, the lucky ones are euthanized. Sometimes they meet a horrible, painful death. I've seen it.This industry is sad and many dogs are born on the greyhound farm and don't even make it to the track and are destroyed right away.These dogs make the best pets. It seems like they thank you with all they love they give you when they are taken from the track.I'd love to see an end to this.
my heart dies alittle more each time I hear about these cases about these wonderful animals.i use to breed these dogs (not for racing)I might add. but for family pets, these dogs are the most gentle ,compassionate,and loyal dogs and make great family pets,there also wonderful with children to! what is wrong with people? how would you liked to be used and abused and tossed out for garbage, perhaps a taste of your own medicine would be just! I think the law needs to be alot stricker and the jail time alot greater!! BOY DO I WISH I WAS A JUDGE!!!!!
This is not a sport, it is abuse and the driving impetus is nothing more than greed!
It is time for Texas to relinquish the title of cruelty, abuse and lack of human compasson regarding both animals and children. The attitude that all that is Texas is big is in direct juxtaposition to the mental and emotional size of the Texans who participate in this cruel abuse of innocent animals.
Stop condoning this travesty against these beautiful dogs!
It is truly disgusting at times to be part of the human race. Most people think that sporting animals are treated like royalty-when the opposite is usually the truth. It would actually be the sensible thing to do-but NO. All animal sports should be closly regulated !!! There -- new jobs for this economy ! Do unto others- should be the law AND THE PUNISHMENT !!!!
Shame Texas!
Do NOT treat animals like that.
It's not fair to blame the ASPCA. Racing is political. Revenue and tax money.They can't stop the political beast. Obviously, no one can.

Citizen police volunteers can help prevent crimes
Annie Mulligan / For The Herald
Everett Citizen Police volunteer John Chatterton checks on a Mukilteo home while the owners are on vacation. Chatterton volunteers several days a week to help keep the Everett area safe.
Everett citizen police volunteers wear bright yellow jackets as they perform duties in the Everett area.

Annie Mulligan / For The Herald Everett Citizen Police volunteer Yvonne Hoover calls in her location while checking on Everett homes with partner John Chatterton in Everett. The EPD is currently looking for more citizen volunteers to keep the program efficient. Volunteers monitor speed conditions, check on homes while people are on vacation and various other tasks.
Annie Mulligan / For The Herald
Everett citizen police volunteer John Chatterton collects speed data with his partner, Yvonne Hoover, on Colby Avenue on March 6 in Everett. Police use the data to better monitor Everett streets. The police department is looking for more volunteers to help with the citizen force. Volunteers collect speed data, check on vacation homes and drive a new hybrid SUV while on duty.
The department counted about a dozen active volunteers in 2012, Sgt. Jeraud Irving said.
"We're trying to boost it up," he said.
The volunteer program is more than two decades old, he said. Most department volunteers are retired folks, but anyone 21 and up can apply.
Everett police volunteers check on people's homes while they're away on vacation. They also use radar equipment to gather speeding data in areas with potential problems, among other activities.
"Our main focus is to provide eyes and ears for the police department," Irving said.
Volunteers' hours can vary, but the department asks for at least 16 hours a month.
Volunteers also spend time with local police officers and make new friends in a team-building environment, Irving said. They provide additional customer-service to Everett residents, too.
"EPD is a progressive department that's growing," he said. "It would be a benefit to be able get out and help the community and give back a little bit more."
Volunteers also are thanked with an annual awards dinner. They logged more than 2,400 volunteer hours last year.
For more information, call 425-257-7519 or email firstname.lastname@example.com. Applicants must pass a background check. They don't have to live within city limits.

Kent State University took home a gold award at the ninth annual Public Relations Society of America (PRSA) Cleveland Rocks Awards. The university won its award for its work on Kent State Magazine, the university's alumni publication, with the winning entry titled "Engaging and Informing the Alumni" in the magazines category.
The awards recognize public relations programs with outstanding work. The 2011 awards ceremony was held Dec. 2 in Cleveland.
"What's good about it is we compete with top PR firms in Northeast Ohio, and we excel in our discipline," said Dan Karp, executive director of creative services at Kent State's University Communications and Marketing.
Kent State Magazine is a collective effort of University Communications and Marketing, Intercollegiate Athletics, the Alumni Association, Kent State University Foundation and the Division of University Relations. Karp said the university also works closely with its partner, Great Lakes Publishing, which produces the publication. The magazine is published three times per year and distributed to 180,000 Kent State alumni, faculty, staff and friends.
Kent State enters this yearly competition and is coming off an award-winning year. At the 2010 PRSA Cleveland Rocks Awards, Kent State won two gold awards and the most coveted "Best of Show" award.
"It's gratifying to be recognized in the industry and by our peers," said Emily Vincent, director of university media relations at Kent State. "Receiving a gold award from the PRSA Cleveland Rocks Awards validates the great work that the university is doing, and we take great pride in our alumni magazine."

'Unleashing' technology could slash deficit by $200B, report says
Wednesday - 11/14/2012, 2:51pm EST
Better leveraging technology in a handful of key areas could help solve pressing national challenges, improve the quality of government services and reduce the federal deficit by more than $200 billion. That's the main takeaway from a collection of reports that make up the 2012 Quadrennial Government Technology Review.
The American Council for Technology-Industry Advisory Council's Institute for Innovation commissioned the reports to highlight "the criticality of strategic investments in information technology to increase efficiency and effectiveness, especially at times of budget shortages," according to the group.
Anne Reed and Molly O'Neill, the two co-chairs of the institute's steering committee, and Wendy Henry, a member of the steering committee, joined In Depth with Francis Rose to discuss the reports' findings.
O'Neill, a fellow at the CGI Initiative for Collaborative Government and former chief information officer of the Environmental Protection Agency, said the quadrennial review can act as a guide for agency leaders as the Obama administration enters its second term.
The institute began work on the review about a year ago, she added, with the goal of "looking at national challenges that the federal government is facing ... and providing input into how technology can actually help make progress in some of these areas."
How technology can 'change the game'
More than 100 companies contributed to the series of reports. "There were a lot of fine minds that were engaged," said Reed, the CEO of ASI Government. The reports focus on six areas, including health IT, improving science and math education, and bolstering federal IT investments.
"Taken as a whole, I really do think that they show how technology can really help change the game and really help solve some of the nation's largest problems," Reed said.
In one of the reports, "Unleashing the Power of IT to Reduce the Budget Deficit," the authors say IT-driven solutions, such data analytics and big-data solutions, can help the government enhance tax collection and reduce health care costs. All told, such efforts would slash the deficit by $220 billion, according to the report.
Another of the reports focuses on improving science, technology, engineering and math (STEM) education to head off future shortages in those career fields.
Increasing the government's STEM workforce is not solely an issue of technology, said Henry a specialist leader at Deloitte.
While many agencies already have STEM-focused hiring programs in place, she said, there's still more work to do to standardize the process.
"What we believe is that the agencies have to use a more common practice," Henry said. "And that they have to look not only for trying to find the areas where they can use those skill sets — where those shortages are going to occur — but also how to nurture and grow current staff as well as the pipeline."
DoD should recruit from global STEM workforce, report says

Shannon's back
OXFORD TOWN – Shannon McNally has surrounded herself with band members that she considers "family" – and one of them actually is; her husband, drummer Wallace Lester. The band's latest album "Coldwater" was recently released and they have hit the road in a big way to support it. One stop of that tour is next week at Proud Larry's on March 11. McNally talks with Oxford Town's Kate Anthony about her influences, defining a genre and the late Jim Dickinson, producer of "Coldwater." (March 4, 2010, Page 11)

CHARLOTTE – With Carolina Panthers owner Jerry Richardson among the nearly 14,000 in attendance, the Charlotte 49ers held their inaugural spring football game.
Former Maiden High quarterback Matt Johnson completed 13 of 14 passes for 174 yards and a touchdown as the Green beat the White 26-3 in front of a crowd of 13,950.
Due to small first-year numbers and some recent injuries, first-year coach Brad Lambert used some players on both teams, though the Green team was comprised primarily of starters and the White team was comprised primarily of backups.
The 49ers, whose first game is Aug. 31 at home against Campbell, got their first score at McColl-Richardson Field on the third play from scrimmage. Johnson hit Austin Duke for an 11-yard TD pass to cap a three-play, 65-yard scoring drive.
Later in the scrimmage, Alan Barnwell and Damarrell Alexander scored on runs of 3 and 4 yards, respectively, and Stephen Muscarello hit two field goals and Hayden Pezzoni hit one.
Muscarello's second field goal, a 32-yarder early in the fourth quarter, kept the White team from being shutout in the first game at the Charlotte's 15,300-seat stadium that also includes the 46,000-square-foot football center.
Three former local standouts begin spring drills with the 49ers earlier this season, though one has since left the program.
Jonathan Gidney, a member of the 49ers' initial 2012 recruiting class and a 2011 All-Gazette wide receiver for Lincolnton High, injured his knee early in spring drills and has stopped playing football.
But Cortezz Nixon (Forestview Class of 2011) and Brandon Strupp (East Lincoln 2009) have stayed with the program and both participated in Saturday's scrimmage.
Nixon, who transferred from Lenoir-Rhyne in January and earned his shot through a tryout, made three tackles playing cornerback for the White team. And Strupp, who transferred from Concord, W.Va., punted twice for a 35.5 yard average, including one punt inside the 20.

Sports scientist Ross Tucker says there's little to be positive about when looking back at the 2012 Super Rugby campaign.
The Super Rugby play-off rounds painted an entertaining picture. The Chiefs and Sharks surprised many with their runs into the title decider, following semi-final victories over seven-time champions the Crusaders and table-topping Stormers respectively. The New Zealand franchise then powered to their first Super Rugby crown with a 37-6 triumph in front of their cowbell-ringing fans.
However, as a spectator, one was left disappointed after the Hamilton final. We had to witness one team, who enjoyed a week's break before the final four stage, capitalise on a side that travelled across the Indian Ocean three times in as many weeks.
One may argue that the Chiefs earned this advantage by securing a higher position on the overall standings. But shouldn't a final be a fair contest? A match which sees the two in-form teams of the tournament battle it out on more equal grounds?
We saw the Crusaders struggle in the same scenario last season, as they traveled from Nelson to Cape Town before losing in Brisbane to the Reds, who had the advantage the Chiefs had this season.
What's worse is that there's nothing that can be done to change the current style of the 15-team tournament. Well … not for the next three seasons at least as Sanzar is committed to a broadcasting contract that only expires in 2015.
Tucker believes the current Super Rugby format isn't successful.
'Super Rugby has become a money-driven competition, with a strong bias towards to the Australian teams,' Tucker told keo.co.za. 'It's a shame because Super Rugby was such a strong competition, especially when it was still the Super 12. It was strength versus strength every weekend.
'In the current format, Australia, who have the weakest conference in Super Rugby, are promised at least one team in the play-offs. And their conference winner will be guaranteed home-ground advantage in their play-off game, despite having less log points than some of the other teams placed below them [the Crusaders, Bulls and Sharks had more log points than the Reds this year].
'This disadvantages the strongest nation in Super Rugby, which was South Africa this season as they had three teams in the top six. We had to see the Bulls and Sharks travel for their play-off matches, which had a negative impact on their momentum. The Sharks did well, but the travel factor caught up to them.'
Tucker also questioned whether the extended tournament schedule was favoured by supporters.
'Time to time, Sanzar have been raving about increases in ratings for certain matches and at certain stadiums, but I'm sure that the amount of rugby played has had a negative overall impact. Especially when it comes to rugby in South Africa. With the Currie Cup, we could see the Sharks play the Bulls up to five times a year, which is too much.
'This structure also robs the spectators of major matches. The top teams don't always face each other, so some fans would have to wait three to four years before a side like the Crusaders or the Chiefs tour to their stadium.'
Injuries were also a major concern during the season. While several players suffered long-term spells on the sidelines midway through the campaign, it was a common sight to see players limping off early during the play-offs. There were nine injury-forced changes before half-time during the knockout rounds, while there were several substitutions made shortly after the second half restart.
While the annual player exodus is already an issue in all three Sanzar nations, the hectic Super Rugby schedule is likely to encourage more players jet off to Japan and Europe. Japan will become an ideal move as players play half the amount of rugby (because of their foreign player restrictions that only allows three international players in the starting line-up) and get paid more.
Fourie du Preez, Jaque Fourie, Ryan Kankowski, Wynand Olivier, Jerome Kaino and Sonny Bill Williams have already formed part of this Asian trend, and many more top players could be lost to Super Rugby by the end of 2015. And who could blame them? Test players have to go through Super Rugby, June inbound tours midway through the competition, the Rugby Championship and the end-of-year tour.
'The current Super Rugby format does not take the players' welfare into consideration,' argued Tucker. 'I think if we had to do a study by the end of 2015, I'm sure we'd notice players' careers ending far earlier than compared to past studies. It's quite unfortunate actually – players would actually have to suffer long-term injuries to prolong their careers. A guy like Schalk Burger would have benefitted from the rest he received this year, even though it was because of injury.
'There is a point that coaches will need to build bigger squads and use better management plans. They'll need three quality players in every position to survive the campaign. But there's still no reason for the season to stretch over so many months. The NFL in America has the shortest season of all the top sports, but it's the richest code in the world.
'These changes to Super Rugby have been made for the wrong reasons. The powers in charge will need to take all the negative factors into account.'

You'd need the old embed code from YouTube. You can't use the short mode. The old embed code is placed in Dashboard > WhiteHousePro > Feature Setup in one of the slides, under Feature Media. You shouldn't have anything under Feature Title, Feature Text or Feature Link. Make sure the old embed code does not exceed the height of your slider. Save and view. To get the video you want, go to it in YouTube, then click Share. Once there, click "Embed" and scroll down. Check the box for "Use old embed code". To ensure your video is the correct height, use the custom measurements and just apply the height. Copy the code provided and place it, as stated above in Feature Media.
Posted 31 July 2012 - 12:49 AM
Rangelone, Thank you for your prompt response. I will try your instructions tomorrow and let you know how I did.
Posted 31 July 2012 - 08:18 AM
@tsilloh Did Rangelone's suggestion work for you, or do you require further assistance ?
Posted 03 August 2012 - 01:37 AM
Danny, Thanks for the follow-up. It took me a while to experiement with Appearance > Menues and then implement Rangelone's instructions to me. I am now ready to start on his YouTube Feature Slide answer.
Posted 03 August 2012 - 03:22 AM
Rangelone, I thought that the YouTube-old-embed-code instructions would be the hardest to understand. They were the easiest. Thanks for the help.

Ted Hope: "Filmmakers, Hollywood, The Industry, rarely know whom their audience is. We do it so ass-backwards: we make a movie and we think it is so wonderful that people all over the world will come to see it. Wouldn't it be a hell of a lot easier ifall we did was take our movies where people are already gathered?"
Nathan Berghout's curator insight, May 9, 2:27 AM
Because the music industry is changing so much, it has become even harder to "become" someone. There is no longer just the radio and public exposure, now bands have to take social media and the internet into account when looking to get out there and make something of themselves.

A library is not a luxury but one of the necessities of life.
Henry Ward Beecher, 1813-1887
Message from FOTL President, Maelou Baxter
I was, am, and shall ever be a lover of reading and a reading teacher, so several years ago I chose RDG4ALL as my personalized license plate. I've had the plates a long time. The one in front has been smashed against curbs and been in a couple of accidents, but it's been smoothed back into some semblance of its original form and I intend to have it on my car as long as I drive and as long as I read. I hope both will be for as long as I live, but if reading outlasts driving, so be it.
I know how important reading is. Long ago I taught Adult Basic Education classes at what was then Hawkeye Institute of Technology. One of the major reasons my students were there was that they couldn't read well enough to do what they wanted to do in their lives. As an English major, I knew much more about British literature than I did about the basic process of reading, so I decided to take some classes at UNI and figure out "this reading thing." Many years later, I'm still trying to figure out "this reading thing." I want everyone to be able to read well enough to meet the demands of their lives AND, unreasonable though it may seem, I want everyone to read and to enjoy reading.
Lately, however, I've been thinking that perhaps my license plates should say something about libraries because libraries aren't just for reading any more. I'm looking at a list of projects and programs the Friends supported this last year. The Zombies program wasn't for me, but I'll bet the teens loved it! I know the adults loved the murder mystery and the genealogy sessions as well as the craft classes and the memoir writing workshops. Families love the movies (and popcorn), while the kids love the fish and the bunny and the new interactive "literacy" tractor. And the always popular summer reading programs broke attendance records this year.
The Cedar Falls Public Library has become a center for all kinds of activities while it continues to be a readers' library–and there are several ways to "read." I enjoy the recorded books for road trips. The pre-loaded Nooks are very popular as are the downloadable books for Kindles and other electronic readers. I could go on and on. Check the monthly newsletter http://www.cedar-falls.lib.ia.us/friends/newsletter ,the newspaper, and signs around the library to see what's going on in your library.
Whatever you need and want from your library, I hope you're getting it. If you're not, let us know. Thank you for being a valued member of our library community and remember to bring your friends! Reading and Libraries for ALL!

Comments about Azonic Techlite Carbon Clincher Wheelset:
By far the most difficult rim I have ever had for installing tires. I would guess that Techlite did not account for rim tape when running wheels specs.
To be fair I only road on them for one day, but during that one day, 40 mile ride, I went through three tubes. All three tubes punctured on the inner side, aligned with spoke holes. Despite rim tape the poor finishing on the spoke holes resulted in all three punctures.
Wheels also demonstrated very noticeable flex when climbing hard.

Comments about Azonic Techlite Carbon Clincher Wheelset:
I've owned my set of wheels for 1.5 years, and while they were good the first year, after that, things started going downhill. First the spokes were rubbing and making strange clicking sounds, and had to corrected. Second, a noticeable amount of flex is apparent, even though, I am only 155lbs. Third, and the worst by far, was I did a ride and got caught in the rain. I got home, and wiped down my bike and cleaned and lubed the cassette & chain. Two days later I went to move the bike, and the rear hub was frozen! So much for the sealed bearings. When I took it in to be looked at, the mechanic said this was a problem with these wheels. Also, when I called Techlite to complain that the bearings, and or sealing were defective, they said I was past the one year warranty. The salesman, then said I should take it in to be fixed, but they won't cover anything. I have tons of road wheels, that never leaked, and have been ridden for many more years. Do be warned, that you can ride them in descent weather, but not in the rain, or you will pay.

Comments about Azonic Techlite Carbon Clincher Wheelset:
I threw the dice. I work at a bike shop and tried Zipp 303 and the Reynolds. Techlites are lighter, more servicible, and ride better than the Reynolds (In my opinion). The Zipps were a push financially and didn't fit my Specialized anyway. The hubs use ezo bearings and mac aero spokes. Look it up. The Shop manager is into all things two wheel as I am and turned me on to Techlites as an option. I used to race high level MTB and road and would remove my sponsors decals of the equipment if it sucked and run something else. What works, works. Period two spaces. I live and ride in a place where rolling, windy terrain is the norm with three UCI cat one climbs if you want them on any ride. If you're not getting your wheels for free these are all you need.

Things I liked:The feel is solid, not cheap like you might think a mostly-plastic gun would feel. It seems to be high-quality and durable. I have shot only about 200 rounds so far, but I am impressed to this point.
Things I would have changed:Rifled barrel would be nice. But if you want that, you could get a Daisy 880.
What others should know:When I first shot this gun I was disappointed because I was shooting Copperhead BB's. They were all over the place. I was getting 6-inch groups at 20 feet. I had no idea where the BB was going to hit. I almost returned the gun. Then I tried Daisy BB's and noticed that they were hitting in smaller groups. I read some good reviews about the Crosman Destroyer pellets in this gun and tried those. This morning I sited in the iron sites at 21 feet with the pellets, and this gun performed perfectly. I used 6 pumps to site it in, then tried a pellet at 10 pumps. Perfect. Just for fun I put in a Daisy BB again and it hit exactly where I pointed it. The BB penetrated further than the pellet through the magazines I was using as a backdrop. All in all I would recommend this gun. It is fun and powerful. Just use the right ammo. I have also read that the Crosman wadcutters are good in it too. I am glad I didn't give up with the Copperhead BB's. Do not use Copperhead BB's in this gun.
I put a scope on this gun and shot 5 Crosman Destroyer pellets at 21 feet. You can cover the resulting group with a nickel. Very accurate.
Things I liked:Can use both pellets and BBs. Light weight. One of the easiest guns to pump. Good sights. Fairly accurate. The trigger and loading setup is exactly the same as the Powerline 880, so as the user grows older, moving up to the 880 should feel natural. Good size for 10 and up.
Things I would have changed:Offer something with a slightly shorter stock for the under 10 users. An easier way to load pellets would be great.
What others should know:This rifle was purchased along with a Crosman Pumpmaster 760 for an 11 and a 7 year old, respectively. I tried them both out and here are my observations. The Daisy 35 is slightly longer then than the Crosman (34.50" vs 33.50"), and tad heavier (3.1 lb vs 2.75 lb), but they both handle about the same. They have the same power. The Daisy holds more BBs than the Crosman (50 vs 18). BBs are much easier to load in the Daisy than in the Crosman, which requires one to hold the gun facing down, shake it by twisting the wrist to let the BBs fall in, and then lock them in place before loading the next shot. Loading a pellet can be a bit tricky in the Daisy, requiring one to pull the bolt back just enough to load the pellet, but not too far or a BB will be in there first. The Crosman requires the use of a magazine (provided) that holds five pellets and isn't too hard to use once you get the hang of it. Still, it feels like you are doing double the work with loading the magazine first and having to move it after each shot to load the next pellet. The biggest difference between the two is the pumping of the gun. The Daisy is so easy to pump its impossible to put down. The Crosman, by comparison, is the hardest one I've used. So it should come as no surprise that someone has to pump the Crosman for the 7 year old, while the 11 year old can handle the Daisy just fine. By the way, if size does become an issue, do invest in a set of rifle rest bags or consider the Daisy Buck 105.
Things I liked:Price. Looks great. Handles very well. Accurate.Very quiet. Won't disturb the neighbors, especially when you use 3 pumps which is great for target shooting with pellets.
Things I would have changed:The usual. Make it out of metal. Wood stock.
What others should know: I have other air rifles with rifled barrels. I wanted an inexpensive BB and pellet shooting air rifle so I could shoot with cheap BBs and not have to worry about destroying the accuracy of a rifled barrel. I was pleasantly surprised with the accuracy of this smooth bore with pellets. I originally tried RWS Diablo Basics, Crosman Premier wadcutters and hollow points, and Gamo Match wadcutters. The Model 35 showed itself to like the Premier wadcutters. It didn't care for the RWS.It also gave me some nice groups with the hollow points.The Gamos were all right. Then I remembered I had a few Crosman Destroyers. I shot 2 groups with them. One using 5 pumps, and one with 3 pumps. The one with 3 pumps gave me a one hole group just slightly larger vthan a .177 pellet. It was right at 200. That would be a fine group for a rifled air gun. For a smooth bore at 10 yards from a rest with open sights this group made me very happy. And I'm 59 with crappy eyesight.I have since ordered an inexpensive scope, and Fully expect to tighten my groups even more. With Daisy BBs I have shot 3 groups with the best at about 5/8". I took a chance buying this rifle after reading Tom Gaylord's review. I don't know how this plastic gun will hold up, but I am very careful how I hold it when pumping, as I've heard of some other brand plastic multi pumpers that break the stock. I am looking forward to testing this rifle scoped. Since it is showing excellant accuracy with open sights, I can't wait for scoping.

Latest Review
I've been in Aus over a year and The Drop Bear Inn is by far the best hostel I've stayed in. So homely, Mel (the owner) is amazing, everyone is so nice, it's not clicky at all like some of the bigger hostels, it's more like a big shared house than a hostel. Been here three weeks so far and don't plan on leaving anytime soon! You even get a free meal on a Wednesday night! Definitely the best hostel in Melbourne!Read More

First-year and second-year medical students from the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine-Bradenton warned elementary and middle school students about the dangers of tobacco.
LECOM assisted with tobacco prevention "Day of Service" on April 14 and 25 at four elementary schools, three middle schools and one private school in Manatee and Sarasota counties.
Over 950 students received the anti-tobacco message. The A.T.T.A.C (Area Health Education Center Tobacco Training and Cessation) program's message: Promoting healthy choices and avoiding the dangers of tobacco. Teams of 4-5 students delivered a 35-40 minute anti-tobacco lesson, using approved interactive teaching methods.
Since 2005, GSAHEC has conducted tobacco cessation and prevention programs with health profession students. From 2006-2008, student participants have served as positive role models for over 7,000 school-aged children in Manatee and Sarasota counties.
