2011 Volleyball Media Guide
The 2011 Mary Baldwin College Volleyball Media Guide
Mary Baldwin College FIGHTING SQUIRRELS 2011 VOLLEYBALL MEDIA GUIDE History of Athletics at Mary Baldwin College Mary Baldwin College has had a commitment to activity for women since its inception in 1842. The physical health of students has been a priority for the college since its founding. Early on there were required "promenades" in the afternoons, but in the 1870's a structured physical education program began which was called calisthenics. Students bowled, participated in Swedish skills and played tennis and croquet. In 1891 the first swimming pool was added on campus. In the early 1900's an athletic association was organized. All students were automatically members of the "white" and "yellow" teams which evolved into the Irish and Scots clans. This provided intramural and class contests for field hockey, basketball, track, hiking, swimming, golf, tennis, horseback riding, archery, softball and baseball. These sports each had a student leader and teams were chosen annually, there were also student-faculty games. In 1948 a Virginia Athletic Federation of Colleges for Women was formed and in 1949 the annual sports day of the association was held in Staunton. This allowed for competition with combined teams of students from all the women's colleges. The intramural program continued and the clans were now called the Irish and the Scotch. The clan system for intramurals had been expanded to English, Welsh, Scotch, and Irish in 1962, but by 1969 ended and intramural competition was organized by class. By 1967 there was intercollegiate competition in Dance, Golf, Equitation, Swimming, Fencing, Basketball and Tennis. In 1981, as a NCAA member the college joined the Old Dominion Athletic Conference, where it stayed until 1993. From 1993 the college was an independent member of the NCAA Division III. In 1995 a group of women's colleges joined to form the Atlantic Women's Colleges Conference. All the member schools felt that competition in the coed conferences had benefited from the changed Title IX started in the late seventies, while athletic programs at women's colleges had fallen behind. Mary Baldwin had a strong tenure in the AWCC, winning eleven conference championships and appearing at four NCAA post season tournaments. The AWCC dissolved in 2007, and Mary Baldwin joined the USA South Conference. Information about the early years of athletics at the College was taken from To Live In Time, 1992 by Patricia Menk.

Proud players thrilled that hockey is back
PHILADELPHIA Flyers All-Star Claude Giroux received the wakeup call he waited to hear for 113 days.
Locked out for months, the NHL was indeed ready to drop the puck.
"It's a beautiful day for Hockey," he posted Sunday on Twitter.
Call the overseas players and tell them to come on home to New Jersey and Pennsylvania and other states where the NHL only existed in the form of messy labor updates. The NHL and the players' association agreed on a tentative pact to end the lockout and save what is left of a fractured schedule.
Let the training camps begin.
"I'm ready to play," Flyers veteran defenseman Kimmo Timonen said. "We're just waiting for the season to get started. It's been a long four months."
But, finally, fans can stop thinking about board rooms and talking heads dressed in suits. Rather, it's time to get ready for Sid the Kid. It's time for the Los Angeles Kings to go defend the Stanley Cup. It's time to watch your team play, oh, about four times per week.
Sure, the Winter Classic was wiped out. The All-Star game went bust.
But at 48 or 50 games, it's still hockey at the highest level.
One of the questions that arises now, of course, and after any sort of stoppage for that matter, is will the fans come back? This is the third labor dispute in Commissioner Gary Bettman's tenure, and though the fans returned in the past, the jury is out this time.
NHL fan Steve Chase started the grass roots "Just Drop It" campaign that encouraged fans to skip one NHL game for every game canceled after Dec. 21st. He asked fans to pledge they would not spend a penny or a minute of their time on tickets, TV, merchandise, all things NHL.
Nearly 21,000 fans had clicked the "like" button on the group's Facebook page by Sunday afternoon. And Chase, who lives in Los Angeles, wrote on the site he would stay true to his commitment.
"AS IT STANDS RIGHT NOW: Games canceled from Dec 21 to Jan 14th average out to 10 per team," he wrote. "They took 10 from us, we'll take 10 from them. No tickets, no TV, no merchandise."
Chase said there was growing sentiment among his friends to skip the entire season. He said the league and players didn't think enough about the part-time employees and local businesses who needed the sport to help survive the winter months.
"Look at all the bars around the rinks and all the shops that sold jerseys. They're all getting killed," he said by phone. "We kept promoting, go to those bars and buy pizza. Keep them going. When hockey comes back, you're going to want somewhere to go."
At downtown Detroit's Rub BBQ Pub, manager Chris Eid said he was "ecstatic" when he heard the news Sunday morning. And the settlement and the promise of a return to NHL action was a big topic of conversation among his afternoon customers, he said.

PORTLAND The price of gold saw its biggest drop in 30 years Monday, which could be a sign of an improving economic outlook.
The price of an ounce plunged 9 percent, or 140 dollars, Monday. It bounced back a bit Tuesday, with a 1.9 percent climb.
Gold has fallen about 28 percent since its height of $1,900 an ounce in 2011. That drop has also affected the price of silver, which is down just over 11 percent.
Most people wanting to sell their gold jewelry are now holding off, but gold buyers are looking to scoop up as much as they can.
Because gold doesn't pay a dividend or interest, the price is really driven by investor psychology, said CEO Tim Phillips of investment firm Phillips & Co. And when psychology about the economy improves, you tend to see gold prices pull back.
Phillips also said gold is a fear-based commodity. Demand and prices jumped after 9/11 and again after the banking crisis in 2008. During those times people bought gold as an inflation-fighter.
Jewelry prices will not likely drop immediately, because jewelers are reluctant to discount until they are certain that a price drop is not just temporary.

Ruling against beauty queen upheld
Miss Universe Organization
Miss Pennsylvania Sheena Monnin competes during the 2012 Miss USA Presentation Show in Las Vegas on May 30, 2012. A federal judge in New York has upheld an arbitrator's ruling that Monnin must pay the Miss USA pageant $5 million for defaming Donald Trump's pageant organization. She resigned as Miss Pennsylvania last year, saying the contest was rigged and claimed another contestant learned the names of the top five Miss USA finishers hours before the show was broadcast.
Sheena Monnin resigned as Miss Pennsylvania last year, saying the Miss USA contest was rigged. She claimed another contestant learned the names of the top five finishers hours before the show was broadcast. Monnin said she decided to turn in her crown as soon as those same contestants were named during the show.
She posted a series of messages on Facebook and spoke publicly about her claims. Trump's Miss Universe Organization sued Monnin for defamation and an arbitrator ruled against her in December. The arbitrator said Monnin's allegations cost the pageant a $5 million fee from a potential 2013 sponsor.
Earlier this week, U.S. District Court Judge J. Paul Oetken upheld the arbitrator's decision. Monnin had sought to have it overturned based on three grounds: the arbitrator overstepped his authority, his decision disregarded law, and she didn't know the arbitration hearing was taking place. The judge disagreed.
Monnin, of Cranberry, Pa., said in a Facebook post Thursday evening that she is glad the truth is out there, regardless of the outcome.
"This is not about me being a 'sore loser' or wanting my '15 minutes of fame'" she wrote. "This is about the MUO's admission under oath that they manipulate the judges' results to suit their own ends. This is not what they advertise to the public."
Pageant organizers claimed Monnin resigned because she disagreed with a decision to allow transgender contestants. They made public text from an email they said Monnin sent citing the decision to allow natural-born males into the competition as the reason for her resignation. A transgender contestant was initially denied entry to the Miss Universe Canada pageant because she wasn't born female, but Trump overruled that decision.
Olivia Culpo of Rhode Island won the Miss USA pageant that year.
Monnin wrote on Facebook page that her legal fees amount to more than $50,000 and she needed financial support, including a link for donations.
Trump's lawyer said he applauded the judge's decision but was surprised Monnin stood by her story.
"I'm shocked to see that she has yet to learn her lesson. I thought she would be smarter the second time around," attorney Michael Cohen said.
Associated Press writer Jon Gerberg contributed to this report.

Associated Press, Published November 23 2013
Packers hope to halt skid with win over Vikings
The Minnesota Vikings march into Lambeau Field today for an NFC North rivalry game that always makes coach Mike McCarthy more intense. And the Vikings (2-8) might just be the perfect foe to finally provide Green Bay (5-5) a win in what's otherwise been a miserable November.
"Against this group that we're playing (today), there's always a sense of urgency," McCarthy said.
Last time these teams met, the Packers won handily, 44-31 last month in Minneapolis. Rodgers was 24 of 29 for 285 yards and two touchdowns.
Rodgers broke his left collarbone on the first series of the Packers' next game, against the Bears, and hasn't played since then. McCarthy has turned to one-time third-stringer Scott Tolzien to start while Rodgers heals.
For years, a Vikings-Packers game featured two of the biggest names in the NFL in Rodgers and Vikings running back Adrian Peterson.
Well, Rodgers is hurt. And Peterson's banged up, too, with a sore groin. He was held out of practice at midweek, though coach Leslie Frazier said he was cautiously optimistic then that his top tailback would play.
Peterson is averaging 115.5 yards in 13 career games against Green Bay.
Today's game would also mark the first back at Lambeau for former Packers receiver Greg Jennings, who missed practice at midweek due to an Achilles tendon injury.
Tolzien has shown poise in handling the glare that comes with having to replace perhaps the more irreplaceable player in the NFL. The on-field results so far are two defeats.
Tolzien has thrown for 619 yards over the past two games, and shown he can hit the deep ball. But Tolzien already has five interceptions in 73 attempts, or one more than Rodgers had in 251 attempts.
"He's learning on the fly," Rodgers said. "His preparation has been very good, his approach. And I think he's primed to have a good week."
With a start, Tolzien would become the first Packers quarterback other than Brett Favre or Rodgers to start back-to-back games since Don Majkowski started the first three games in 1992.

Now that Teresa Giudice had found some success with her cookbook, Skinny Italian, the Real Housewife of New Jersey wants her very own cooking show.
After filming the next season of her reality show next fall, Giudice has plans to start filming a cooking show that focuses on "real Italian food." Giudice hasn't released any details about the upcoming show and no networks have confirmed that they are working with Giudice, so only time will tell if her hope for a cooking show actually comes to fruition.

OK here it goes, I'm just a regular down to earth, laid back, silly guy with a serious side when needed and a romantic who's keeping chivalry alive. I come from Maryland and am much more accustomed to the beach lifestyle. I enjoy surfing, drinking good craft beer and just having fun. I do have tattoos. I tend to act younger than I am and I am in very good shape looking of someone who is just be able to keep up as I live a very active lifestyle. I also enjoy everything the beach has to offer from the food to relaxing, surfing, paddle boarding, feel of the sand between your toes, purple sunsets and surfing in the rain, just a few they may sound cheesey but I know what I like, hopefully we can share in them and in yours Hanging out with friends and family always leads to good times, going to a bar for a few pints of craft beer(IPA hoppier the better) with the mates to watch hockey Go Caps, football Ravens, soccer any club game will do, or just to catch up. But also staying in cooking a home cooked meal, sitting back on the couch watching a movie or two.

I'm looking for someone who enjoys to laugh a lot(even if its at my expense), honesty, knows what she wants outta life and isn't afraid to go get it, also has a sense of adventure be it a road trip, new sushi, or exploring the city, must enjoy the beach, relaxing, out surfing, or sitting with a couple of cold beers watching the sunset. Gotta love dogs, I have a 3yr old chocolate lab who always keeps me on my toes and in shape, so you must love dogs we are a package deal.

windows 98/xp mouse screw'up's
Ok, I have a question here, if anyone can answer it, please post back asap. The problem is...I had windows 98 for a long time...I don't know if anyone here is familiar with counterstrike..but i play that alot, and now that I got windows xp, I cannot aim because of the mouse problem in xp...If anyone knows how to fix this (I have herd it being called "laggy mouse problem", for opengl modes) I would really appreiciate you responding. Thanks
There's a parameter for CS. I don't remember exactly, but you have to add something like -forcenoparms or similar in your CS shortcut.
The command line options are -noforcemaccel and -noforceparms.
But if you have Logictech's MouseWare garbage installed, get rid of it. Uninstall it, use Winzip to extract the archive, then just update the drivers only through the device manager. MouseWare, IMO, helps improve the chances of your games crashing with a the famed "loop" error of yore.
I grabbed the lastest MouseWare last night, installed it, went to play RTCW online and it crashed within 45 seconds. RTCW hasn't crashed on my rig in about 7 months but yet here it bombs right after I installed MouseWare and rebooted. I nuked it and reinstalled just the core drivers.
I shoulda known better! :p
I had the exact same problem! I have an ifeel logitech mouseman which is an optical USB mouse. When I installed XP aiming in counter-strike was so bad I was thinking about going back to 98. Nothing would fix it. It did it whether I had mouseware installed or not. I also tried running different parameters and turning mouse acceleration off. This is what I did that finally fixed it!

****Our email address has changed! Please update your address book****
it is now firstname.lastname@example.com
We are taking reservations for the entire 2015 season.
Please call us at (603) 745-8837 to check availability or to make reservations. Go to the 'Contact us' link at the top of this page for the information we will need in order to check availability.
We look forward to serving your families again this year.
Our campground offers 45 open, river and pond pond sites for both tents and RVs.
We offer 6 fully equipped cabins, 3 of which are on the brook.
We have 2 fully equipped travel trailers for rent.
Country Bumpkins Campground has been a family owned and operated campground vacation spot for 23 years. We dedicated to providing clean, comfortable and affordable accommodations in the heart of the beautiful White Mountains of New Hampshire. We have 6 fully equipped cabins, 2 travel trailer rentals and a campground with 45 campsites for both tents and RVs. Our mission is to provide a comfortable, safe, fun and quiet camping experience for for every member of your family. We are nestled in a cozy setting along the Pemigewasset River and Bog Brook with a small man made duck and trout pond in the center which we stock for viewing and feeding. Our Campground and RV Park offers 45 open (not wooded), riverfront and pond sites for tents, Rvs and trailers. We can accommodate up to a 40' RV on a few sites. Our RV sites have water and electric, some with full hookups. Our tent sites are primitive. They do not have water or electricity at them and are mostly located on the river, brook and the pond. New for 2014: We are in the process of expanding the campground northward to the old 'Cold Springs Campground'. We did get the bathhouse up and running as well as most of the tent sites along the river ready during this past season as well as a few RV sites. Once this new section of campground is complete, we are expecting to have about 20 sites over there, mostly for tents and some for RVs (up to 32' in length). We also rent 6 fully equipped cabins, 3 of which are on Bog Brook and 2 travel trailers. These rentals are great for those families that would like to camp but who also like to have the conveniences of home at their fingertips. Many of our tent sites are located along the river and the brook where you can take your family fishing and wading. We also have tent sites on the pond where the ducks live. Feeding the ducks and fish is a favorite for the kids that stay here. There is also a deck where you can feed them from if you're not staying on the pond. Each cabin, trailer rental and campsite has it's own picnic table and a place to have a campfire. If you plan on visiting all of the attractions that the White Mountains have to offer during your stay or you are simply looking for a place where you can relax by a babbling brook and a campfire, we do hope that you will make us your family vacation spot year after year. We have a playground and a gameroom for the kids too!!
We do offer a very simple way of camping and a place where you can unplug and get back in touch with Nature. Although we offer this escape of work and home, we do understand that while on vacation, many of you need to stay connected through the internet so we do have FREE WiFi for our guests' convenience!
We are oficially open from the middle of May until the middle of October. Call or email us if you would like to come camping sooner or later than those dates to see if we can accommodate you. We will start taking reservations for the entire season on January 1st. Reservations are strongly recommended.

Computers and the Internet let people explore virtual worlds every day, but an exhibit at Discovery World at Pier Wisconsin actually lets you step into one.
The HIVE is a virtual-reality chamber - larger than a typical tool shed but slightly smaller than a one-car garage - that uses computers, projectors, screens, 3-D technology and motion tracking to generate digital environments.
The high-tech projections are thrown on three 8-by-10-foot wall-screens and the floor, enveloping visitors in computer-generated visuals, having them hover above a body of water or putting them into a small town in Portugal.
"Star Trek" fans can think back to the days of the holodeck, and they won't be too far off. A trip inside the HIVE, which stands for Human Interactive Virtual Education, is what you'd expect standing inside a video game would be like.
"It's a lot better than a video game," said Ben Hajdarevic, a sixth-grader at Whitman Middle School in Wauwatosa. "This will be the coolest thing we see today."
Hajdarevic and his classmates were flown through a virtual solar system, speeding through the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter before taking a tour of the rest of the celestial bodies.
Their space flight drew the oohs and aahs you might expect from 11- and 12-year-olds, as well as a chorus of "He's Got the Whole World in His Hands" as they tried to grab a digital planet Earth hovering in front of them.
It was the children's first time at Discovery World, which opened the HIVE late last fall. And in typical Discovery World fashion, although the students were engaged and entertained, they also were educated.
After the simulation, Hajdarevic rattled off a half-dozen facts mentioned during the presentation - an impressive feat considering the boys were laughing and chattering much of the time.
Learning by diving in
A 10-minute run through the solar system is just a glimpse of the HIVE's teaching potential.
After flying through space, visitors can use nearby computer labs and experiment with free, simple 3-D and motion-tracking software in classes led by instructors such as Dustin DuPree, a multimedia designer and "virtual guru."
"Anyone can do this," he said, waving a wand in front of a camera connected to a laptop while a ball on the screen mimicked the movements. "This is a really simple, basic introduction to the digital wizardry they see in the HIVE."
The HIVE was built through a partnership with the Milwaukee Area Technical College - a $3 million, 15-year arrangement that includes electronics inside the HIVE as well as other equipment, including gear in the museum's audio and television studios.
The technology inside the HIVE has applications for many industries, museum executives said, including manufacturing, architecture and design, medical modeling and data mining.
"It is a useful tool for prototyping or testing new products or people to find the potential risks in new designs," said Discovery World CEO Joel Brennan.
After the student group's virtual journey, the kids were eager for more. Tyler Wells, another Whitman sixth-grader, said he wanted to see all the simulations.
The HIVE didn't just convey a few astronomy facts to the students. It also got them interested in learning more about the topic back in class. That impulse to keep learning after leaving Discovery World is what the museum is all about, Brennan said.
Inside the HIVE
Four or five visitors at a time - all wearing 3-D glasses - go inside the HIVE and get to see a simulation for about 10 minutes. There are about 30 experiences for the HIVE's operators to choose from, and the museum's experts are designing others, including a digital re-creation of Discovery World's facilities.
The 3-D in HIVE simulations can be so convincing that those prone to motion sickness or vertigo might feel a bit uneasy, especially if they find themselves suspended in midair and then watch as the simulation moves up or down around them.
The HIVE's digital environment is linked to a specific set of active 3-D glasses that include infrared motion-tracking technology, allowing the illusion to react to that person's movements.
The person wearing the glasses serves as "leader," according to HIVE operator Carrida Riddick. The other guests inside the HIVE see the simulation react based on the leader's movements.
Visitors have to be careful not to touch the wall-screens - they're about $20,000 each to replace if damaged. Visitors also must wear booties over their shoes when inside the HIVE to avoid scuffing the floor - imperfections can muddle the illusion.
'Pretty amazing'
Paul Krajniak, executive director of Discovery World, describes the HIVE as a "virtual training experience" that gives the museum new ways of explaining concepts and technologies to the public.
"It's not a work of art; it is a true model of the real thing," Krajniak said. "It's a way of bringing data together in different a way that people can understand."
For example, by using survey and satellite information, HIVE software can generate accurate virtual landscapes of cities to help determine the best uses for land. Or the HIVE can spawn a 3-D brain based on information from medical scans that people can then walk inside, allowing them to see the intricacies of anatomy, as well as the differences between a normal brain and the brain of a savant.
It's a rare experience, museum executives said, noting that the only other four-sided immersive environment open to the public is in Linz, Austria, in a science center called Ars Electronica.
"We want the public to take advantage of this technology," Brennan said. "It's a unique learning opportunity, and it's pretty amazing."

The Supreme Court order to let Comptroller and Auditor General of India (CAG) audit the account books of telecom firms has dealt a blow to India Inc.
If it is telecom firms today, it could be power producers, miners and oil explorers tomorrow, they fear.
In a major setback to the private telecom firms, the apex court on Thursday held that CAG can audit the account books of these firms, which share their revenue with the government.
Rajan Mathews, director general, Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), said the industry is disappointed by the verdict.
"It has larger ramifications for the corporate India. Any company which has a relation with the government or has some type of financial arrangement with the government shall be subject to CAG audit," he told dna.
"It also affects the industry by virtue of fact that it increases our cost. One more layer of cost will be added to the company apart from a substantial amount of time which will be devoted for the audit," he said.
So far, telecom companies are subject to audit by the term cells of the Department of Telecom, the Telecom Regulatory Authority of India (Trai) and the Securities and Exchange Board of India (Sebi). Now, CAG will also audit these companies.
A bench comprising justices K S Radhakrishnan and Vikramajit Sen said the CAG can carry out the audit to examine whether the companies are giving proper share of their revenue to the government.
The court passed the order on a batch of petitions filed by telecom companies' associations, including the Association of Unified Telecom Service Providers of India (AUTSPI) and the Cellular Operators Association of India (COAI), challenging the January 6, 2014, Delhi High Court verdict that had given green signal for CAG audit of the firms' account.
Analysts and consultants too said this judgment is likely to add to the complexity of the operating environment of the telecom operators.
"The country is 4-5 years behind in technology in telecom and need about $100 billion to catch up with the world. This ruling would add to the perception that India is a difficult country to do business in and there is more government than warranted," said Hemant Joshi, Partner, Deloitte Haskins & Sells.
"It could then extend to mining, power, airline, banking, manufacturing, services companies and individuals, etc," he said.
The Supreme Court had on February 3, 2014 sought responses from the Centre and the CAG on the pleas of the associations.
The firms had challenged the High Court order which had said that it was the duty of CAG to audit telecom companies as a part of their revenue goes to the Consolidated Fund of India.
Earlier, the telecom firms had submitted before the Supreme Court that the High Court had erred in holding that CAG was empowered to conduct their revenue audits.
The firms had said that the high court had wrongly assumed that they share revenue with the government and contended that they only pay a licence fee, which was a percentage of their revenue.

Retro Boy: free VST plugin Chiptune synth
Download this Windows instrument now
Retro Boy is a new free single-oscillator synth from SBAudio that's designed for creating chiptune-style sounds. It comes with seven selectable waveshapes and various other controls.
With a design that's said to be 'lightweight', Retro Boy shouldn't tax your CPU too much (it supports up to four voices), while the interface is very simple. A bigger, more feature-packed XL version is in the works, though there's no release date at the moment.
You can download Retro Boy as a Windows VST plugin from the SBAudio website.

Letters to the Editor: 02.05.12
Terry Mills, Corpus Christi NAACP president
NAACP banquet a hit
My hat is off to the NAACP members, sponsors and the community for a successful 2012 banquet that took place a few weeks ago ("Residents, members honored at MLK banquet," Jan. 22). The citizens came out in large numbers and we are grateful.
The singers and entertainers who performed, along with various individuals who had a part in the program, did an outstanding job and I can't say "Thank You" enough.
As our keynote speaker, the president and CEO of the national NAACP, Mr. Benjamin Todd Jealous, spoke the truth with defiance and passion. President Jealous' message was right on target and I'm so proud to have been in his presence to hear such a fantastic speaker.
To the recipients of the President and Humanitarian Awards, your works to the NAACP and the community have not gone unnoticed. Thank you and continue to shine.
That night there was a sea of ethnic diversity that reminded me of the United Nations. It was beautiful to witness and be part of history in the making.

Time to change RTA board

It is time to replace them all, or shut the agency down and start over. The RTA should provide transportation around town, not provide an amusement ride. The bay boat ride should be dropped, with bus service to North Beach improved in frequency, and routing if needed, so Corpus Christi residents and tourists alike have ready access to and from the area. If the Convention and Visitors Bureau wishes to subsidize a boat ride, create a contract with a private firm and underwrite the fare with visitors' hotel tax dollars, not residents' sales tax dollars. If the board continues to waste large sums on boat rides, fire them all.

Bravo, Nick
Nick Jimenez's Jan. 29 Viewpoint column ("Will ID law prevent fraud or just voters?") deserves and gets a bravo from me. Whatever happened to sound reasoning?

Council must make hard choice
Thank you for your editorial of Thursday, Feb. 2nd concerning future street repairs, wherein a clearly written summary of the problem was presented ("Council should exercise its power to repair streets"). Sadly, I was not surprised at the initial lack of action from our mayor and council.
In general, our elected representatives at all levels of government continue their ingrained habit of promising that everything good desired by their constituents can be obtained without any personal sacrifice required. Thus, witness the current state of affairs nationally, statewide and locally. Thankfully, clear-thinking Americans are able to construct solutions to our urgent economic and financial problems but they will hardly ever be pain-free to the citizens. The street committee has completed their assigned task and proposed concrete steps to meet their goal. The national deficit-reduction committee did the same last year and was generally ignored by our president and Congress, who are seemingly unable to think further ahead than the current election cycle. The American people I believe are less fragile than might be imagined, and will not object to helping in a truthfully-presented program of shared sacrifice to address these problems.
I urge our city leaders to be bold and take prompt direct action to implement the necessary fees to fund the road repairs over the long term. The problem clearly must be dealt with and delay solves nothing. Yes, you will likely hear some cries of outrage initially but the benefit from this program is clear and inaction is no longer acceptable. Besides, by doing this now you will always be able to take pride in the recognition as "the council that began to fix our roads," even if you are all voted out in November.

Not in my backyard
In reference to the Milroys' letter ("Wrong spot of water park," Jan. 29):
I think that they have a point in not wanting the new water park built on "THEIR" island. To build something like that will only allow more of the riffraff on to "THEIR" island and spoil their view and the peace and quiet that they enjoy. How dare the city allow something like this to happen. They sound like they are not opposed to the water park, just build it near someone else's home. Why the litter alone would disrupt their way of life. The new street will provide access to the island instead of the one entrance now used that makes the whole island almost a gated community, and the limited access to the area west of the highway even more so.
As to the litter, I agree, but if the police would enforce the laws and the judges would not dismiss or give probation to the offenders, the problem would soon be fixed.

Description (OCR text may contain errors)
Patented Aug. 5, I902. W. J. MULLER.
(Application filed June 8, 1901.)
(Specimens) Wall 115E525;
SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 706,250, dated August 5, 1902.
Application filed June 8, 1901.
To all whom, it may concern.-
Be it known that I, WALTER J. ML LLER, a citizen of the United States, residing at Au rora, in the county of Kane and State of Illinois, have invented certain new and useful Improvements in Adhesive Shields, of which the following is a specification.
This invention relates to improvements in adhesive shields, and is primarily adapted for use as a vaccination-shield, although it can be used with equally-good results for protecting other sores or wounds and tender or in jured parts of the human body.
The object of the invention is to provide a shield which will conform readily to the contour of the part to which it is affixed without binding or holding the skin rigidly around the wound and at the same time effectually protecting the wound from being rubbed or irritated or otherwise afiected.
A further object of the invention is to provide a shield constructed so that it will yield or give and permit the skin to stretch or contract in a perfectly free and natural manner as the muscles adjacent to the wound are contracted or dilated.
In the accompanying drawings, Figure l is a perspective view of a shield embodying my invention. Fig. 2 is a transverse sectional View through the shield. Fig. 3- is also a sectional view showing a slightly-modified construction. Figs. 4. and 5 are detail sectional views showing the full or puckered portion of the fabric covering between its connection with the members of the shield unfolded.
Referring to the drawings, in which like letters of reference denote corresponding parts in the several figures, I have illustrated a shield in the form of a hollow ring divided by a transverse cut 0 into two members A and'B, which preferably constitute two equal halves of the ring.
The shield may be made in other shapes and divided in any manner and into any number of members without departing from the invention, the essential feature of which consists of ahollow body divided, preferably, into two members, as shown in the drawings.
The shield is made of felt or other suitable material and of such thickness as may be de sirable for the particular use for which it is intended. I prefer to provide a coating D of adhesive material on one face of the shield, wherebyit may be readily affixed in position and caused to adhere to-the body; but other means may be employed for this purpose. To protect the adhesive side of the shield until it is to be used, I provide a fabric covering G, which can be readily removed before the shield is affixed.
To retain the members of the shield in proper relation to each other and at the same time permit the shield to give or yield and otherwise conform to the movements of the part to which it is aflixed, I provide a permanent fabric covering H for the top of the shield and secure the same thereon by means of some adhesive substance or in any other desired manner. This fabric holds the members of the shield in proper relation when the temporary fabric covering G is removed preparatory to affixing the shield to the body. and after the shield is so affixed the permanent fabric covering holds the members together while permitting them to spread or separate and also protects the wound from dirt and other foreign matter.
In order that the shield may give or yield and conform to the movements of the part to which it is affixed without binding or holding the skin rigidly, and thus irritating the wound, I provide a full or puckered portion I in the permanent fabric covering between its connection with the members to form a loose connection between the members of the shield on one face thereof. This full or puck ered portion of the fabric covering may be permitted to assume any shape, and in Fig.
4 it is shown rounded, and in Fig. 5 it is shown a partly crushed; butI prefer to fold this full orpuckered portion upon itself, and in Fig. 2 I have shown the covering provided with a double fold and in Fig. 3 a single fold, each the shield into two or more entirely separate members joined together by a loose and flexible connection it will permit the skin sur- 1. A shield of the character described consisting of a hollow body composed of independent members having a loose connection permitting the members to spread apart.
2. A shield of the character described consisting of a hollow body composed of independent members having a loose connection on one face thereof permitting the members to spread apart.
3. An adhesive shield of the character described consisting of two members, and a piece of fabric secured to said members on one face thereof and having that portion between the members puckered to provide a loose connection therefor, substantially as described.
l. A shield of the character described consisting of two members and provided on one face with a coating of adhesive material, and a piece of fabric affixed to the other face and folded between its connection with the members.
5. Ahollowshield divided transverselyinto two separate members and provided on one face with a coating of adhesive material and a fabric covering for the other face havinga folded full portion constituting a flexible connection between the members.

The length of time for the expiration date or "best used before" date depends on the type of product, as well as the brand.
Perishable items (such as flax oils or certain probiotics) generally have shorter expiration dates. Although our warehouse is fully air-conditioned, these more fragile items are put in cold storage (freezer or refrigeration unit) for maximum freshness.
Our receiving department does its best to verify and then enter the correct expiration dates for all incoming products. However, discrepancies do occur from time to time. This being said, the exceptionally high turnover at iHerb ensures that our inventory is among the freshest in the industry.

A former dump once littered with piles of trash could become home to rows of solar panels if PSE&G wins approval for the project. The public utility company is seeking preliminary and final site plan approval for a 9 megawatt solar array at the shuttered Parklands Landfill on Route 206.

Easton, Redding and Trumbull First Selectmen Share Solar Stories
We're not only first selectmen, we're also homeowners. Electricity is a large chunk of our families' budgets, and rates are only going up. The people in our towns deserve to hold on to their hard-earned money, which is why we helped our towns collaborate on Solarize Easton-Redding-Trumbull.

The Real Super Bowl Battle Has Already Been Won
This Sunday, the Seattle Seahawks will face off against the Denver Broncos for the ultimate Super Bowl XLVIII showdown. But the real battle for this year's bowl has already been won, and it has nothing to do with touchdowns.
SEIA Announces New Workforce Training Commitment for Solar Industry
WASHINGTON, D.C. – The Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA) today announced a new industry commitment to quality solar workforce training, working with the Interstate Renewable Energy Council (IREC).
President Touts Solar Progress in State of the Union Speech
WASHINGTON, D.C. – Giving his own "shout out for solar," President Obama praised the U.S. solar industry in his annual State of the Union speech. Afterward, Rhone Resch, president and CEO of the Solar Energy Industries Association (SEIA), released the following statement:
Poll Reports 94% of Americans Say It's Important for the U.S. to Develop and Use Solar Energy
A vast majority of Americans, across all political parties, overwhelmingly support development and funding of solar energy. Ninety-one percent of Republicans, 97 percent of Democrats and 98 percent of Independents agree that developing solar power is vital to the United States.
SEIA's Rhone Resch on BLM's Moratorium Announcement
"The Bureau of Land Management's (BLM) announcement that it has lifted its moratorium on solar energy applications on federal lands is the right decision. While we applaud today's announcement, BLM has only resolved half the problem. They have yet to approve a single solar energy project. Expediting the permitting process is the next step in developing solar energy projects on federal lands.
Annual Solar Energy Report Demonstrates Record Growth of U.S. Market After Two Years with Investment Tax Credits
Today the Solar Energy Industries Association released its 2007 U.S. Solar Industry Year in Review produced in conjunction with the Prometheus Institute. The report noted that 254 megawatts of photovoltaic and concentrating solar power were installed in 2007.
Senate Adopts Solar Tax Credits
"The entire solar energy industry would like to thank Senators Cantwell and Ensign for their leadership and support of renewable energy.
"By an overwhelming margin, Republicans and Democrats came together in the Senate to support renewable energy as a means for stimulating our ailing economy. More than 85 percent of the public supports greater investment by the federal government in renewable energy. And Americans know that this move to stabilize the investment climate for solar energy is the right type of economic stimulus at the right time.
Some area schools seeing savings from solar panels
A few area schools are taking advantage of the Texas sun and seeing significant savings from the use of solar panels.
Sen. Reid: Nevada has much to gain from clean energy development despite the skeptic
Supporters of dirty fossil fuels would have you believe that developing renewable energy in Nevada doesn't create jobs, is bad for the environment, and will cause your utility bill to skyrocket. This could not be further from the truth and their real objective is to shift the attention away from clean energy to maintain the status quo.
Solar Cells May Supplement Smartphone Batteries
Why don't power-thirsty smartphones incorporate solar cells, to reduce the reliance on batteries? Because in general, the kind of solar cell that can be fabricated in a lightweight, flexible and durable form does not capture enough energy per square inch to make it worthwhile.
Sky's the limit for solar in Texas
Someday, solar panels could be just as common as wind turbines in West Texas and the two renewable energy sources would use the same infrastructure.
Crowdfunding Clean Energy
If you wanted to get large numbers of people actively engaged in helping to solve global warming, how might you go about it? For years, the main approach in the environmental movement has been to sound the alarm bell and implore people to consume less, switch to green products, recycle, and speak up to companies and politicians.

When folks think of Stephen Stills the work with his "supergroup," Manassas, is left out of the conversation in favor of his more well known and commercially viable recordings (CSNY.)
Manassas is my favorite of Stills' albums. As a whole this is where he peaked - where it all came together for him. Blues, jazz, latin grooves, folk, rock & roll and country all coexist within the album's framework -- each with it's own sub-category: "The Raven," "The Wilderness," "Consider," and "Rock & Roll Is Here To Stay." Keep in mind that when initially released in 1972, Manassas was a double album - meaning each side of the record had it's own theme. Stephen Stills' wilderness realized.
If there's any band that can rival The Grateful Dead when it comes to having diehard followers that are forever champing at the bit to hear live performances from their heroes, it's got to be Yes. No matter what members may be in the lineup at any given time, there's always a huge core audience that's ready to turn up to their concerts and thrill to every last note. As such, if your first reaction when you heard about the new box set Progeny: Seven Shows from Seventy-Two was to think, "Geez, what band has the kind of fans who'd get excited about getting seven concerts from the same tour?" then we're here to tell you that the answer is Yes.
In 1972, Yes was riding high on the success of Close to the Edge, and audiences were coming out in droves to see them reproduce that material in a live setting and, with any luck, they'd get to hear some of the band's earlier material in the set, too. (They did.) Recently, the members of the band stumbled upon reel-to-reel recordings of seven complete concerts which took place only a short period of time before the shows that made up the live album known as Yessongs, and now that they've used the cutting-edge technology of 2015 to make them sound as pristine as possible, we here at Rhino are bringing the recordings to you.
There are some Miles Davis albums that are universally heralded as works of genius, and there are others that have earned decidedly divisive opinions over the years. Tutu definitely falls into the latter category, but for those who appreciate the more mainstream side of Miles, it's always proven to be a solid listen, and if you're in that camp – and if you enjoy spinning your jazz on your turntable – then stand by for spectacular news.
This week, we've released a deluxe edition of Tutu on 180-gram vinyl, and it's a four-sided affair which latter-day Davis fans will adore. The first LP features the re-mastered version of the original album, while the second LP features five live performances from Davis's appearance at France's Nice Festival in 1986. Better yet, there are only two tracks that cross over between the two records – "Portia" and "Splatch" – and even they end up on separate sides of the second LP.
Believe it or not, this year marks the 30th anniversary of the Norwegian band a-ha taking on America and temporarily becoming one of the biggest bands on our shores as a result of their debut album, Hunting High and Low, which earned them a #1 hit on the Billboard Hot 100 with its first single, "Take on Me."
Oh, right, and you might remember the song's video, too, what with it being utterly iconic and all:
Given the number of morose lyrics that have featured in many of his songs over the years, both within his solo discography as well as in the Smiths' back catalog, we couldn't be happier than Morrissey has managed to stave off oblivion long enough to celebrate 56 years on "this unhappy planet, with all the carnivores and destructors on it."
What, you don't recognize the quote? Ah, how soon they forget…
What if you put out three albums and no one cared?
You lost your record deal. Do you give up or..?
History is littered with people in this exact same situation, those who were given their chance and then faded into obscurity. But not one David Gray...
David Gray spent his own money and recorded "White Ladder" in his apartment. A desperate move, that's for sure.
25 years ago today, The Pretenders released their fifth full-length studio effort, although longtime fans who know the ins and outs of the recording sessions for the album are likely to either smirk or roll their eyes and make some comment about how the band's name should be in quotation marks.
It's well documented that the life and times of The Pretenders were filled with a number of trials and tribulations during their early years, which is unfortunately best evidenced by the fact that two of the four members of the band's classic lineup – lead guitarist James Honeyman-Scott and bassist Pete Farndon – had died of drug overdoses in the months following the release of 1981's Pretenders II album, leaving lead singer and rhythm guitarist Chrissie Hynde and drummer Martin Chambers to soldier on and find replacements.

by James Slater - Though he didn't beat a proven world class fighter on Saturday, the returning David Tua sure looked impressive in smashing his New Zealand rival Shane Cameron to painful defeat in less than two-rounds. And, as a result of the way the well conditioned and still fast "Tuaman" got the job done after an absence of just over two years, a buzz has definitely been created amongst the fans.
It's still way too early to get too excited, granted, but if Tua stays active (word is, thankfully, he will fight again before the year is out) and if he stays at or around the 237-pound range, the 37-year-old might, just might, be a formidable challenger for one of the Klitschko brothers next year. One expert, who really knows his stuff, was moved to write after the recent Vitali Klitschko-Chris Arreola fight, that a guy who would have beaten the giant is the legendary Joe Frazier.
A crouching fighter, who bobbed his way in, used plenty of head movement, had a granite chin, boundless stamina and toughness, and who had wrecking ball punching power in his left hook.. Though he's no Joe Frazier, it could be argued that all the above attributes apply to David Tua - with a lethal right hand thrown in as well. Could it be, then, that the block of granite with the sturdiest of chins and the most explosive of bombs is the man to break the Klitschko's dominant run atop their weight class? Maybe.
As I say, it's too early to get too excited, but after, say, two or three more impressive, highlight reel KO wins, the call for Tua to fight Vitali or Wladimir will become deafening in my opinion. Bottom line: fans love to see action and they love to see KO's. Tua, in his return against Cameron, gave them both.
The brave Chris Arreola was able to push Vitali Klitschko at least a little in going ten-rounds with the WBC king, and he did that with no head movement to speak of and he did it with fists that are far slower and less potent than are Tua's. It's not that hard to imagine a Tua who would get inside, take anything that comes his way in getting there as well as once he's on Vitali's chest, and then wreaking havoc on the big man's head and body with his left hooks and his right hand sledgehammers.
Now motivated perhaps like never before because he knows the clock is ticking on his career, Tua would perhaps be willing to go through hell to get the win. And I haven't even spoken yet about Tua's chances against the weaker-chinned Wladimir. Don't tell me you wouldn't give "The Terminator" at least a 50/50 shot at stopping the younger Klitschko.
I know what the critics will be saying; that the last time he faced a giant, in Lennox Lewis, Tua was shut down, his attacks were nullified and he was out-jabbed and out-boxed. That's true, but that was also a long time ago now, and Tua did have a supposed rib injury going into that fight, which restricted his movement and the ferociousness of his attacks. And even then, Lewis never came close to putting the slightest dent in the Samoan slugger's chin.
Against the Klitschko's, Wladimir especially, I give Tua a genuine puncher's chance. In fact, I give him a hard-headed-bobbing-and-weaving-buzzsaw-of-a-fighter's chance. At the very least, Tua would take either brother the distance - can you imagine the thick-necked warrior, with his chin down and his head moving side to side, being KO'd? I can't. But I see more from Tua than him just taking the K brothers the distance. If Arreola could make Vitali work as hard as he did, and if he could have him back-pedalling as much as he did, what would the faster, harder-hitting and more experienced Tua do?
To beat the Klitschko's you need speed of hand, a constantly moving head, immense will and stamina and, above all, raw, one-punch KO power for when you have got close, so as to really make it count. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think David Tua has got the lot. Remember, most experts agree the Klitschkos don't really take their opponents out with one punch, they break a fighter's heart instead. Something tells me that this would not happen with David Tua.

Comments about Spencers Sweet Licks Warming Lube Sample Set 12 Pk:
So these are really fun to spice things up in the bedroom or living room or whatever. They were a little weird at first, not used to swallowing flavored spit but once I got used to it I really like it. It's like licking a popsicle. Overall they are great to have a little fun during oral. My husband really liked using them on me as well and there is plenty in each little pouch. They are not sticky and they don't stain or anything just rub it in. And they get really warm which is fun. I like the sample pack so I can try the flavors before getting one tube when we run out, which honestly will probably take awhile.
