I'm about to submit a site template in 3 different colors. So each page has 3 different colors and I've made also 3PSD for this.
But the total size of all those PSD files is quite getting larger (almost 200mb). So I was wondering how you guys do it if your submitting a template that has different colors?
Do you create a different folder for each color and put there your PSD files, or do you have for example 1 PSD for the home page with there the different colors?
Yaeko, from what i've seen from themes i bought is that they put a folder inside the PSD of the page template, rather then making new PSD for each page of each color. so if you have a 5 page psd desing you just have 1 psd for each page and inside the diferent styles.
If you zip them you will end up with ~60mb file

Rose, Bulls eliminate Pacers, 116-89
CHICAGO Sitting on the bench with four fouls and his team struggling, Derrick Rose pleaded with his coach to put him back in the game.
Chicago coach Tom Thibodeau took the risk and his All-Star guard responded, lifting the Bulls to the second round.
Rose scored 25 points, Luol Deng added 24 and Chicago finally played like a top seed, knocking off the Indiana Pacers 116-89 in Game 5 to wrap up their first-round playoff series Tuesday night.
The top-seeded Bulls can breathe a little easier after getting a dominant performance by their MVP candidate and an emphatic win that came on the heels of four dramatic games.
They can also turn their attention to the Eastern Conference semifinals, where they'll meet Atlanta or Orlando.
"Speechless right now," Rose said. "I really can't believe it. It's a great accomplishment. I'm happy for my teammates, happy for my coaching staff. They did a really great job."
Rose seemed just fine after spraining his left ankle in Game 4. He had it taped and acknowledged he was a bit apprehensive at first, but he wound up hitting 8 of 17 shots. He dominated in the early going and came up big in the third after the Pacers pulled within four. He scored 10 points over the final six minutes after returning with four fouls, and Chicago ended the quarter on a 23-8 run to blow the game open.
The Bulls hit 14 of 31 3-pointers, including five by Keith Bogans (15 points) and three each by Deng and Rose. Deng also had seven assists and six rebounds.
Joakim Noah added 14 points and eight rebounds, and the Bulls won a playoff series for the first time since they swept Miami in the first round in 2007 and only the second time since the championship era. It was clearly their most impressive performance of the postseason even though Carlos Boozer scored just two points.
"All year long, we've focused in on going step by step," Thibodeau said. "I think once you start skipping steps and looking at all the other stuff, that's when you get lost. So we knew we were capable of playing better, although when you look at the series, to be up 3-1, you've got to do a lot of things well, too."
Danny Granger scored 20 for the Pacers and had some strong words afterward for Noah. He accused Noah of throwing elbows that ultimately led to a technical foul for A.J. Price after an altercation with Tyler Hansbrough and an ejection by Josh McRoberts later in the game.
"He's a dirty player, honestly," Granger said.
"Everyone knows in the league Jo is not dirty," Deng countered.
Tyler Hansbrough had 14 points and 11 rebounds, but the Pacers trailed the entire way and committed 21 turnovers.
The Pacers had just scored seven straight to pull within 61-57 midway through the third with Rose on the bench with four fouls when the Bulls put them away.

The world of Howler's sophomore album
By Zach McCormick
NEARLY 20 ALBUMS into a determinedly low-profile career, Arizona's Giant Sand and their raw desert rock would seem to be a fairly known quantity. Not, apparently, to the folks at V2 Records, however, who signed Howe Gelb and Co. a year ago, forked over recording expenses, and then deemed the results "too indie." In stepped Thrill Jockey to save the day, releasing an album that nicely bridges the quirkily experimental guitar rock and bare-bones country that the Chicago label generally stocks.
Regardless of how Chore of Enchantment may have sounded in the V2 boardroom, it's actually the most carefully crafted Giant Sand record to date. No living-room recordings or lo-fi outtakes here: Gelb and a cadre of producers seem to have devoted a good deal of attention to shaping his soundscape, adding keys, disembodied female voices, strange percussion, strings, opera samples, and loops to the usual shuffling drums, organs, and sleepwalking guitars. But while "X-tra Wide" and "Temptation of Egg" show a skewed pop sensibility, a good chunk of Chore still sounds as haphazard and ragged as old times.
As always, the defining quality is Gelb's croak--arid and deadpan, but versatile enough to pass off a gracious observation like "you astonish me" before plunging into a darker lyrical passage. Gelb doesn't shy away from assuming different vocal guises, some of which contrast sharply with his musical arrangements. "Shiver" is a lap-steel-keyed ode to the desert, but Gelb sings it with an urbane Leonard Cohen subtlety, while "Bottom Line Man" finds him playing piano-bar poet to the hilt.
Chore represents more than a year of work in the dusty notebook of Giant Sand. Gelb says that for a time he was too close to the death of longtime collaborator Rainer Ptacek to construe a full-length. As a result, singer/guitarist Gelb, bassist Joe Burns, and drummer John Convertino (who work separately as Calexico) recorded in several sessions in Tucson, Memphis, and New York. These sporadic birthing contractions give Chore the feel of having several distinct chapters--a sense that Giant Sand managed to find occasional wonders in their wanderings.

Portugal's top rated player at Euro 2012 was neither Cristiano Ronaldo and Nani, that accolade went to the diminutive, man behind the strikers, Joao Moutinho, one of AS Monaco's millionaire tax exiles. With his silken touch Moutinho has been involved in the national set-up since schoolboy level and first worked with Portugal boss Paulo Bento at Sporting Portugal. After a shocking switch to Porto in 2010 he won three straight league titles and the Europa League in 2011. His current club coach Claudio Ranieri has not shirked from dropping him since his 2013, 25 million euros switch to Monaco, suggesting he is too soft. But he is the perfect ammunition provider for his prolific international teammate Ronaldo, despite his own lack of goals.

Clients Push for Mental Health Center
By Erin Hoover Barnett, The Oregonian, Portland, Ore.
Jul. 1–Northeast Portland's Garlington Center, a community cornerstone that serves nearly 600 people with mental illnesses, may avert closure thanks to pressure from a standing-room-only crowd Monday.
The clinic at 3034 N.E. Martin Luther King Jr. Blvd. faces shutdown because of the financial problems of its operator, Cascadia Behavioral Healthcare. The clinic serves mostly neighborhood residents, including many African Americans and other minorities.
Multnomah County, which runs the mental health system, is downsizing Cascadia. Derald Walker, chief executive officer of the nonprofit company, suggested closing the Garlington Center because he thought its clients could get help from clinics elsewhere.
The county accepted this and other suggestions as part of its reorganization of the mental health system. But the collective message from Garlington clients Monday: Don't do it.
"That I am even here is a testament to Cascadia," said Adit Hughes, who explained that she has agoraphobia — a fear of being in public places. How could she and other clients be farmed out to other counselors and maintain their fragile stability? she said.
"It's not just for my stability, it's for my family's stability," said Hughes, who has three children.
Ralph Williams talked about what it's meant to have a center with a largely African American staff that understands him.
"It's been a long time since I smoked crack and got in trouble," Williams said. "This place has been very instrumental in helping me stay focused and on track."
Ryan Hamit, president of the Garlington client council, and other council members kicked off the 2 1/2-hour town hall-style meeting with Cascadia's Walker and the county's top mental health officials. More than 100 people attended.
Hamit handed Walker a folder of signatures on a petition to keep Garlington open. "It goes on for 40 pages," he said.
Clients demanded more involvement in decisions. They pushed officials on why they had targeted Garlington. They emphasized that other mental health providers in Northeast Portland are not equipped to absorb all of Garlington's clients and that the expense of a transition would be better spent to keep Garlington open.
Joanne Fuller, county human services director, said the county had to move quickly in light of Cascadia's financial crisis and had been unable to get sufficient input from clients. This past spring, the county and state came through with a $2.5 million bailout for Cascadia after a bank called in the company's loan.
Fuller said the county is committed to serving North and Northeast residents in their community, but must figure out whether Cascadia can continue to be the service provider.
The Garlington situation is complicated because Cascadia is buying the center's building. If Cascadia were no longer providing the services, clients probably would move to other providers at other locations.
Cascadia's Walker said that his company wants to keep Garlington open and provide some level of services but must, in partnership with the county, figure out what is viable.
State Sen. Avel Gordly, an independent from Portland, whose district covers parts of Northeast and Southeast Portland, stood several times and pressed officials to commit to keeping Garlington fully operational. Near the meeting's end, she walked to the front, put her hand on Walker's arm and looked him in the eyes.
She asked him to acknowledge what he had said to her in a private meeting: that he had not tried to think of a way to keep Garlington viable and had made a mistake in assuming other clinics could care for its clients.
"That's right," Walker said.
Then she put her hand on Fuller's back and asked her to acknowledge that the county should have pushed back on the idea of closing Garlington. Fuller acknowledged that.
"We can't have any more pain," Gordly said. "We can work this out."
"Absolutely," Walker said.
Fuller said she couldn't promise that Cascadia could continue to provide the same services at the center, but that she is now committed to looking into how that might be possible.
"We absolutely have to push back," she said, "and figure out — can we find another solution?"

Pakistan said it will extend all assistance to former cricket captain Shoaib Malik, who has been slapped with cheating and harassment charges in India by Ayesha Siddiqui, who claims to be his wife, days ahead of his planned wedding to Indian tennis star Sania Mirza.
The Pakistan government said it was in touch with Indian authorities in connection with the police complaint filed against Malik by the Indian woman.
Malik is currently in Hyderabad and his passport has been seized after an FIR was registered against him.
Foreign Office spokesman Abdul Basit told the media that the Pakistan High Commission in New Delhi was in contact with Indian authorities and had asked them to share information on the First Information Report filed against Malik in Hyderabad.
Pakistani authorities have "to wait till all the details of the FIR are with us," Basit said.
The Indian government had not yet shared details of the FIR with Pakistani officials, he said.
"We will give Shoaib Malik all the assistance he requires. We will proceed in the best interests of Shoaib Malik," Basit said.
The case was filed against Malik 10 days before his planned wedding with Mirza. Malik recently announced that he would wed Sania on April 15.
Malik recently travelled to Hyderabad after Ayesha's reiterated her claims that she had married the cricketer in 2002.

Minnesota Wild (22-19-3) at Chicago Blackhawks (25-10-8), 8 p.m.
(Sports Network) - A knee injury has Andrew Brunette's ironman streak in
jeopardy. The forward will try to take the ice tonight when the Minnesota Wild
visit the Chicago Blackhawks at the United Center.
Brunette hasn't missed a game since December 31, 2001, when he sat out
Minnesota's game in Detroit due to a shoulder contusion. He swiftly returned
from that ailment and has played in 497 consecutive games, the longest active
streak in the NHL.
Brunette, though, suffered a right leg injury in Minnesota's 3-0 home loss to
the Anaheim Ducks on Saturday. Brunette did not return to that game after
sustaining the injury in the second period, but did make the trip to Chicago.
He did skate on Sunday and is questionable for tonight's game. He has 11 goals
and 13 assists this season.
Craig Weller, though, is likely to miss his second straight game due to a head
injury suffered in a fight on Thursday versus Edmonton.
Niklas Backstrom made 31 saves versus the Ducks on Saturday and allowed three
goals in a game for the third time in his last four outings. He is 2-2-0 with
a 2.02 goals against average in his career versus Chicago.
The Wild, who had a two-game win streak halted, is just 9-11-0 on the road
this year and have lost eight of their last 10 as the visiting club. Minnesota
is tied with Chicago for last in the Northwest Division with 47 points, two
back of third-place Edmonton.
The Blackhawks have won three of their last four and are 10 points behind
first-place Detroit in the Central Division. Chicago plays the first of two
straight at the United Center and is 14-2-5 there, having notched a point in
four straight home games (3-0-1).
Chicago was in St. Louis on Saturday and left town with a 2-1 overtime
victory. Martin Havlat netted the game-winner just 1:23 into OT, grabbing a
rebound off a Brent Seabrook shot before converting a wrap around chance.
Troy Brouwer netted the other goal while Cristobal Huet stopped 27 shots in
the win for the Blackhawks. Duncan Keith missed his second straight contest
due to a head injury and is questionable for tonight.
Nikolai Khabibulin should start in net tonight if Chicago continues its trend
of alternating goaltenders. Khabibulin is just 3-6-2 with a 2.35 GAA versus
the Wild, but has yet to lose at home in regulation this year. He is 7-0-4
with a 1.92 GAA in 12 games (11 starts) at the United Center this season.
The Blackhawks and Wild have split two contests so far this year, with both
taking place in Minnesota. The Wild have won 10 of the last 13 meetings in the
series, though, and five of their last seven in the Windy City.

UA's Mars Team: 'We Have Water'
By Stephanie Innes, The Arizona Daily Star, Tucson
Aug. 1–The red planet really does have water.
The Phoenix Mars Mission led by the University of Arizona has made history by scientifically proving, for the first time, that water exists on a planet other than Earth.
"We have water," the UA's William V. Boynton, a lead scientist on the NASA mission, announced Thursday in Tucson.
"We've done most of the things we need to do for a fully successful mission," Boynton added. "It is a very big deal."
Scientists popped open champagne when they received confirmation Wednesday.
Though they have seen evidence of water ice before in images snapped by the Mars Odyssey Orbiter, this week marks the first time they were able to "touch it and taste it," in Boynton's words.
That means scientists were able not just to see the water, but to put it into an instrument and confirm its properties.
"From my standpoint, it 'tastes' very fine," Boynton said.
By melting icy soil in a lab instrument informally known as the "shake-and-bake oven," the lander's robot confirmed that frozen water lurks below the Martian permafrost.
The proof came when the ice melted in the oven at 32 degrees — the melting point of ice — and released water molecules.
Verifying the water was always the mission's goal, along with figuring out whether Mars ever had — or now has — conditions that would support life.
Plans call for baking the soil at higher temperatures next week to sniff for carbon-based compounds.
The mission's solar-powered lander touched down on the red planet May 25. After arrival, it found what looked like ice in a hard patch underneath its landing site, and changes in a trench indicated some ice had vaporized when exposed to the sun.
Other Mars missions have gathered clues that the planet was once warmer and wetter than today's desert conditions.
Orbiting probes have found gullies and canals that were likely carved by liquid water.
Previous spacecraft on the surface found evidence of ancient water by studying minerals in rocks.
Phoenix, with the UA at the helm from "mission control" in Tucson, is the first to prove it is H2O.
Ultimately, the mission is expected to lay the groundwork for future Mars missions that will verify current or past life, even if mere microbes.
The mission had been having some trouble with its analysis of soil on Mars, noted Boynton, who leads the "oven" formally known as the Thermal and Evolved Gas Analyzer, or TEGA.
That's one of the reasons Wednesday's verification of water was so exciting — and so serendipitous.
"We'd been trying to get an ice-rich sample into TEGA without any success. . . . We decided to give up for a while," Boynton said in an interview Thursday.
"We were aiming to get a dry sample from the trench and were very surprised to find ice mixed into it."
As the mission's principal investigator, the UA's Peter Smith, put it: "Mars is giving us some surprises. We're excited because surprises are where discoveries come from."
The verification of water this week comes with a bonus for the Phoenix Mars Mission.
NASA announced it is adding another $2 million to the project, which will take the total cost of the mission from $420 million to $422 million.
The extra funding will also allow the mission to extend another five weeks. It is now expected to last through Sept. 30.
"Phoenix is healthy, and the projections for solar power look good, so we want to take full advantage of having this resource in one of the most interesting locations on Mars," said Michael Meyer, chief scientist for the Mars Exploration Program at NASA headquarters.
Phoenix's lifetime cannot be extended much more because it likely won't have enough power to survive the Martian winter.
DID YOU KNOW: Arizona's role in this week's finding is fitting, as it comes more than 100 years after Arizonan Percival Lowell searched for water on Mars.
Lowell, a wealthy Bostonian, built an observatory in Flagstaff primarily to study the red planet.
In his 1895 book "Mars," he described a network of canals on the planet's surface and hypothesized that intelligent beings created a massive irrigation system to carry water from polar caps to parched equatorial regions.
Orbiting spacecraft later proved him wrong, but the idea of intelligent life on Mars has captured the imagination of science-fiction writers and filmmakers for decades.

–Aug. 4, 2007: UA planetary scientists cheer the successful launch from Cape Canaveral, Fla. The mission features the UA-built Robotic Arm Camera, Stereo Surface Imager and Thermal and Evolved-Gas Analyzer, or TEGA. The 295-day wait begins. More than half of all nations' attempts to land on Mars have failed.
–May 25, 2008: Finishing its 422-million-mile journey, Phoenix survives the "seven minutes of terror" — its dangerous, complex descent to the Mars surface — and touches down perfectly, as champagne corks fly in Tucson. The lander captures unprecedented images of the fractured polar tundra — signs pointing to a subsurface filled with ice.
–June 6, 2008: The lander delivers its first soil sample to the TEGA "oven," but it is apparently too clumpy to make it into the instrument. This comes more than a week after the UA team overcame a potentially crippling problem when a TEGA electrical short was reported.
–June 11, 2008: Scientists and engineers find success on their seventh try at getting the lander to shake some dirt into the tiny oven.
–June 19, 2008: UA scientists announce the lander exposed dice-sized bits of ice while digging a trench in the soil, and the ice vanished after exposure to the sun. "That is perfect evidence that it's ice. Salt can't do that," says the UA's Peter Smith.
–June 26, 2008: A historic chemistry test of Mars' arctic surface suggests the red planet is capable of supporting plants and microscopic life.
–July 11, 2008: Scientists worry that the lander's next baking test of soil and ice might be its last, because an electrical glitch continues to threaten the $420 million quest. They speed up the mission.
–July 26, 2008: More disappointment as most of an icy soil sample collected by the robotic arm apparently gets stuck in the scoop and will not fall into the oven to be heated.
–July 30, 2008: The UA team makes history by scientifically proving that water exists on a planet other than Earth.

Versatile Real-Time Executive (VRTX) is a real-time operating system developed and marketed by the company Mentor Graphics. VRTX is suitable for both traditional board-based embedded systems and SoC architectures.
The VRTX operating system began as a product of Hunter & Ready, a company founded by James Ready and Colin Hunter in 1980 which later became Ready Systems. This firm later merged with Microtec Research in 1993 and went public in 1994. This firm was then acquired by Mentor Graphics in 1995 and VRTX became a Mentor product.
VRTX comes in two flavors: VRTXmc (micro-controller) for small systems requiring minimal memory use and VRTXsa (scalable architecture) for full operating system features. Most companies developing software with VRTX use ARM, MIPS, PowerPC or other RISC microprocessors.
VRTX runs the Hubble Space Telescope.
VRTX is used as a core for the Motorola proprietary P2K (rus.) operating system, which runs on most company devices since the Motorola V60 and T280i, up to the Motorola RAZR2 V9x. It runs on several hardware platforms including LTE (Motorola V300, V500, V600, E398, RAZR V3 and others featuring the ARM7 processor), LTE2 (Motorola L7 and upcoming devices with 176x220 screen resolution), Rainbow POG (3G phones featuring an MCORE processor from Motorola E1000 to RAZR V3x), Argon (all new 3G phones with 532 MHz ARM11 processor since Motorola RAZR maxx V6 and V3xx) and others.
Since the 1980s, VRTX has been a rival to the VxWorks operating system, a Wind River Systems product.

i wish he would have fought Anderson Silva..
they speed Roy up on this because i cant really understand him ha
Boxing legend Roy Jones Jr. dressed like caption hook blabbing about Anderson Silva and MMA. Roy Jones Jr. will take on Jeff Lacy in a fight dubed "Hook City" on Saturday Aug. 15th in Biloxi, MI.
i wish he would have fought Anderson Silva..
they speed Roy up on this because i cant really understand him ha
I agree… What the hell was he talking about? And why the hell is he dressed like Captain Hook? LOL
Anderson Silva has had one professional boxing match against a good boxer and he outclassed him
you can't understand roy because he's becoming more and more punch drunk. his practice of letting his hands down has cost him too many blows to the head.
I am big fan of MMA, but don't be fooled. Roy Jones would destroy Anderson Silva in a boxing match…..at any age.
Roy wont be able to connect on Anderson's chin because of his long reach and superior defensive skills. Plus in a real brawl anderson will destroy him
Roy jones Jr is a great boxer, but Anderson has a great Chin, and well i think he'd beat a past his prime Jones. it'd be better than Anderson fighting in MMA… i hate him he's so cocky and dances while fighting.

1 Unit on Bulls/Pistons OVER 195
When these teams face off in Detroit, we have come to expect high scoring contests. 6 of the last 8 games in this series played in Detroit have gone OVER the number and 16 of 23 games played in Detroit since 1996 have gone OVER. The Bulls have gone OVER the total in 8 of their last 10 games. The Pistons have gone OVER in 6 of their last 9. The OVER is 8-2-1 in Bulls last 11 road games and 6-2-1 in the Bulls last 9 vs. NBA Central. The OVER is 6-0 in Pistons last 6 games playing on 1 days rest and 4-0 in Pistons last 4 games as a home favorite of 5.0-10.5. Pound the OVER.

4 Unit Play.Take Chicago (pk) over Philadelphia
The Rush opened with a dominating victory over defending champion San Jose and are ready to knock off another powerhouse @ DePaul on Sunday. They picked up future Hall of Famer Sid Bonner in the off-season from Arizona and he did not miss a beat in the opener, putting up 70 points. This will be a close game early, but the Force won it all two years ago and have the talent to do it again this year. Getting them at even when playing at home is a definite play, as Philly has struggled with prosperity throughout their existence.
4 Unit Play.Take New Orleans -7 ½ over Orlando
Both of these squads are still searching for a victory but the VooDoo is a much better squad when playing at home. They are looking to win their home opener for the fourth straight year and will have no problem taking this one by double-digits
Re: Sunday Service Plays
Michael Cannon
15 Dime –
Take Purdue as the road chalk today over Michigan.
The Boilermakers will be looking to bounce back from Tuesday's loss at Ohio State, and what better opponent than Michigan to accomplish that?
Purdue is still in line for a possible top-four seed in the NCAA tournament, so expect them to bring their A-game today.
Michigan has lost momentum is and limping into the conference tournament off back-to-back losses to bottom-feeders Northwestern and Penn State.
Purdue has a smothering defense that allows just 61 ppg. That falls nicely in line with Michgan's sputtering offense that averages just 64 pgg.
The Boilermakers are a perfect 3-0 ATS as a road chalk, while Michigan is just 3-6 ATS as a single-digit dog.
Take Purdue minus the points as they grab the road win and cover.
10 Dime –
Take the Spurs as the tiny road chalk today over the Suns.
Believe me; the Spurs shouldn't have any problems with this game. Not after Phoenix went out and got Shaquille O'Neal at the trading deadline, which actually turned a fair defensive team into a poor one overnight.
San Antonio knows how to play team defense, so they shouldn't have any problems holding the Suns high-paced attack in check.
On offense, the Spurs have far too many weapons for Phoenix to hang with.
Phoenix has allowed 113 points or more in six of the last eight games.
You aren't going to beat a team like San Antonio when you allow that many points.
Take the Spurs as they grab the road win and cover.
5 Dime –
Take the points with Florida when they travel to take on Kentucky.
I know the numbers don't bear me out with this one, but I truly believe the Gators will rally and grab that all important road win here to improve their chances at getting into the Big Dance.
Kentucky will suffer from missing star freshman center Patrick Patterson, who is out for today's game.
His absence will allow Florida's Marreese Speights to control the paint. The freshman has recorded three straight double-doubles and had 20 points in the Gators overtime win over the Wildcats in the first meeting.
Florida has also tightened up its perimeter defense, holding its last three opponents to a combined 18 of 55 from 3-point range.
Take the points with Florida as they stay within the number on the road.

Re: Sunday Service Plays
Priceless Picks
1 Unit on Michigan +5
Michigan played Purdue to within 7 points on the road and we look for the Wolverines to give the Boilers a major scare, if not pull off the shocker, on senior day. Purdue has lost back-to-back road games in conference play and I'm expecting to see the Boilers struggle here as well. Michigan is 12-3 ATS in home games when playing against a good team (Win Pct. 60% to 80%) over the last 3 seasons and 22-10 ATS as a home underdog of 6 points or less or pick since 1997. Michigan has won 2 straight home games over Purdue. The Wolverines are an impressive 4-0 ATS in their last 4 Sunday games and 5-2 ATS in their last 7 games following a SU loss. Take Michigan here.
Re: Sunday Service Plays
Game: Purdue vs. Michigan
Prediction: Michigan Reason: I'm taking the points with MICHIGAN. Purdue has obviously had the much better season. However, I feel that the Wolverines are going to be the "hungrier" team, as this game means more to them. Yes, the Boilermakers can still technically improve their tournament seeding. However, even if they win today, they'd also need Penn State to beat Indiana. The Boilermakers know that's fairly unlikely though, as the Hoosiers are -8.5 point favorites and are 14-3 in conference play (25-5 overall) while the Nittany Lions are just 6-11 in league play and below 500 overall. Instead of thinking that they might have a chance at the second seed, I expect the young Boilermakers to be thinking about how they blew their opportunity to win the conference and resign themselves to the fact that they'll have the third seed in the Big Ten tournament. Off a tough loss and with far bigger and more important games on deck, it will be easy to get caught looking past lowly Michigan. Conversely, this is a big game for the Wolverines. Not only are they playing their home finale but they're looking to avenge a loss at Purdue and build momentum for the tournament. With a nationally ranked team coming to town, I expect coach Beilein to have his team extremely fired up. As Beilein had to say: "We're not going to let us take any spirit away from us. We're making great progress. We've got a nationally ranked coming to our place. We'll see if that can get our momentum back." The Wolverines, also a young team, have improved as they've gotten to know Beilein's system. They've now won three of their last four games here, including wins over Illinois and Ohio State, and the lone loss came by just two points. The Wolverines covered the earlier meeting at Purdue and they pounded the Boilermakers here last season. Look for them to close out the regular season with a huge effort, improving to 8-4 ATS when coming off a conference loss. *Main Event
Game: Cincinnati vs. Connecticut
Prediction: under Reason: I'm playing on Cincinnati and UConn to finish UNDER the total. I was all set to play these teams "under" yesterday but a winter snowstorm postponed the game until today. My reasons for liking the game remain the same. The Huskies allowed a whopping 83 points when they played at Cincinnati back on 1/23. That prompted the Huskies to elevate their defensive play in subsequent games. After the narrow win at Cincinnati, the Huskies traveled to Indiana and held the Hoosiers to only 63 points. That marked the first of five straight games they played which fell UNDER the number with none of those five opponents reaching 70 points. In fact, no opponent since Cincinnati had reached the 80 point mark until Providence did so on Thursday. Off that poor defensive effort, I expect the Huskies to once again bounce back with another huge defensive effort today. Note that the UNDER is 9-4 the past three seasons after the Huskies had allowed 80 or more points in their previous game. During the same stretch the UNDER has also gone 11-5 when the Huskies have been listed as home favorites of a dozen or more points. The Huskies are allowing 64 points per game at home on the season but I expect them to hold Cincinnati to even less than that here, as the Bearcats managed a mere 54 vs. Depaul last time out and are averaging just 60.8 points their past six games. Note that the Bearcats managed 59 points when they traveled here in 2006, losing 70-59. Look for another low-scoring affair here with the UNDER improving to 4-1 when the Bearcats were road dogs of greater than 12 points. *total of the year
UNDER Raptors/Sonics
Game: Seattle SuperSonics vs. Toronto Raptors
Prediction: under Reason: I'm playing on the Raptors and Sonics to finish UNDER the number. Early Sunday afternoon games in the Eastern time zone often don't sit too well with teams which are accustomed to playing on the West Coast. According to the players' "body-clocks," it's still only 10:00, instead of 1:00pm. Today's even worse than normal in that respect as there's an additional "lost" hour, due to daylight savings time. Playing such an early game, I won't be surprised if the Seattle offense is a bit "sleepy" out of the gate this afternoon. Unlike most teams, the Raptors play a lot of these early Sunday games. Although their most recent one (Knicks on 2/24) finished above the number, the UNDER remains a profitable 6-2 in their eight Sunday afternoon home games overall. The Raptors saw their most recent game finish above the number. That game was on pace to stay below the total after three quarters though (or at least to be very close) but the Raptors fell behind and were forced to rally for a tie, causing a high-scoring fourth quarter and then more points in overtime. The Raptors had seen their previous two games both fall below the number though and they held Miami to just 83 points before facing Washington. Note that with the Raptors listed as a double-digit favorite, its unlikely that we'll be seeing another overtime game. The Sonics managed only 83 points in their last game but gave up a whopping 118. They've seen the UNDER go 18-10 this season after allowing 105 or more points in their previous game though and I expect them to bounce back with a much better defensive effort here. They've also seen the UNDER go 4-2 when playing a road game with an over/under line ranging from 200 to 204.5. Additionally, the Sonics have seen the UNDER go 5-2 when listed as road underdogs in the +9.5 to +12 range on the season and 14-8 in that role the past three seasons. Overall, the UNDER is 10-5 the last 15 times they were underdogs of greater than eight points. With today's number roughly a touchdown higher than it was for the earlier meeting in Seattle, I feel that we're getting excellent value. *Annihilator
Game: San Antonio Spurs vs. Phoenix Suns
Prediction: Phoenix Suns Reason: I'm playing on PHOENIX. There are a couple major reasons why the betting public is going to largely favor the Spurs in this matchup. For starters, the defending champs just saw their 11-game winning streak snapped with a loss at Denver and the popular opinion will be that they'll immediately bounce back from that loss. Additionally, the general feeling is that the Suns can't win now that they've got Shaq in the lineup. I disagree on both counts. The Spurs have struggled on the road all season, going just 12-18 ATS. They've also got a "revenge" game vs. the Nuggets, the team that just snapped their streak, on deck for tomorrow night. Note that the Spurs are just 4-10 ATS the last 14 times that they played the front-end of back to back games. As for the part about the Suns not being able to win with Shaq, I just don't believe that to be true. Yes, they have struggled of late. However, that will only serve as further motivation this afternoon. What better way to silence the critics then to defeat the defending champs on national television. The Suns, who lost outright as -5.5 point favorites on Friday, are 14-2 SU the last 16 times they were coming off a SU loss when they'd been listed as a favorite. Look for them to build on those stats this afternoon, improving to 7-1 on Sundays this season and covering the small number along the way. *Contrarian GOM
Re: Sunday Service Plays
Seattle SuperSonics (16-46) at Toronto Raptors (33-28)
The struggling Sonics have lost three straight and have played awful away from home, just 6-25 on the road this season. Meanwhile, The Raptors are 18-13 at home this season, but have struggle without forward Chris Bosh in the lineup. Toronto has dropped four of its last five games.
The gloomy Sonics are 7-2 ATS in their last 9 road games and have covered the spread in the last 7 meetings in Toronto. Go with the dog to cover the double digit spread.
Seattle SuperSonics
Seattle SuperSonics + 12
San Antonio Spurs - 2

TIP OF THE DAY Chicago Bulls vs. Detroit Pistons
Prediction: Detroit Pistons
Current Line: -8.5 Over/Under: 196 Reason: The fans at The Palace of Auburn Hills will be treated to a game between the Chicago Bulls and the Detroit Pistons when they take their seats on Sunday. Oddsmakers currently have the Pistons listed as 8½-point favorites versus the Bulls, while the game's total is sitting at 196. Ben Gordon led the Bulls with 20 points in their 116-93 loss to the Boston Celtics on Friday night. The Celtics managed to cover the 11.5-point spread at home in that game, while the combined score went OVER the night's posted total (199). Tayshaun Prince led the way with 28 points on Friday night as the Pistons picked up a 101-97 win over the New York Knicks. The Pistons, however, failed to cover the 11-point spread on the road in that contest, while the combined score went OVER the posted total (191). Team records: Chicago: 25-37 SU, 27-35 ATS Detroit: 45-17 SU, 34-27-1 ATS Chicago most recently: When playing on Sunday are 4-6 Before playing Utah are 6-4 After playing Boston are 6-4 After a loss are 6-4 Detroit most recently: When playing on Sunday are 8-2 Before playing Philadelphia are 5-5 After playing New York are 7-3 After a win are 7-3 A few trends to consider: The total has gone OVER in 6 of Chicago's last 7 games when playing on the road against Detroit Chicago is 5-1 ATS in its last 6 games when playing Detroit Chicago is 5-1 SU in its last 6 games when playing Detroit The total has gone OVER in 8 of Chicago's last 11 games on the road Detroit is 9-1 SU in its last 10 games at home The total has gone OVER in 6 of Detroit's last 7 games when playing at home against Chicago Detroit is 16-4 SU in its last 20 games Detroit is 16-6 SU in its last 22 games when playing at home against Chicago

Colorado Buffaloes at Nebraska Cornhuskers
I'm taking the points with Colorado on Sunday. Nebraska has played well lately for Doc Sadler, but they're still not accustomed to blowing conference opponents out, and that's basically what it would take to cover this number. There's also a point-guard issue in Lincoln. Starter Cookie Miller has missed the last few games. He's listed as questionable on Sunday. If he does see action, he'll have to shake off some rust. Nebraska owns arguably the best big-man in the league in Aleks Maric. But I believe CU's athleticism is going to make it tough for Nebraska to get the ball to the senior center on a consistent basis. If the offense can't go through Maric, they do struggle. Meanwhile, the Richard Robey led Buffs are off a hard-fought loss, but cover, in Manhattan, Kansas. That's been the case all season for Colorado. They're 12-6 ATS as a dog; 9-3 ATS away from home; and 11-4 ATS in conference play. CU made K-State sweat in that road outing. They've also taken Missouri, Oklahoma State, and Texas to the wire away from home this season. Same thing happens here. The points are generous, and I'm taking them. Good Luck - Scott Spreitzer
Play on: Colorado
Re: Sunday Service Plays
Tom Freese
Game: Maryland at Virginia
Prediction: Maryland
Reason: Maryland is money on the road going 13-4 ATS their last 17 games on the highway. They are 17-7 ATS when playing their second game in seven days. The Terps are 13-4 ATS off one or more straight losses and they are 15-7-1 ATS their last 22 conference games. Virginia is 16-36 ATS after allowing 85 or more points in their last game and they are 1-6 ATS off a double digit loss. The Cavaliers are just 6-15 straight up their last 21 games vs. the Terps. PLAY ON MARYLAND
Re: Sunday Service Plays
At 3 pm, our selection is on the Virginia Commonwealth Rams minus the points over William and Mary, as VCU falls into 68-18, 35-8, 126-67, 53-15, and 65-30 ATS Tourney Systems of mine. VCU has dominated this series, winning 12 straight games, and covering the last four. These two teams met last week at William and Mary, and VCU held the Tribe to 21 percent FG shooting in the first half, and coasted to a 54-43 victory. William and Mary is a horrid 5-16 ATS since 1991 in the post-season. Look for an easy win this afternoon by the Rams. Colonial Athletic Ass'n Game of the Year on VCU. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. And don't miss my West Coast Conference Tourney Game of the Year out of a 32-6 ATS system. Get that big play right now, as we look to remain unbeaten in the Tourneys.
At 6 pm, our Last Home Game System Play of the Year is on the Akron Zips, who fall into several of my best 'Last Home Game' angles, including one that is 60-23, and another that is 72-32. Let's take a look at our 60-23 system. Here, what we want to do is play any .626 (or better) College team in its final home game, if it (i) has a strong home court (winning at least 80% of its home games); (ii) is not favored by 13 or more points; and (iii) comes into its final home game off an ATS win of five or more points. Akron is 21-8 this season, including 13-2 at home, and it won its last game 80-77, as a four-point underdog, so the Zips fit our 60-23 ATS system. Akron is an eye-popping 58-6 straight-up at home since Jan. 20, 2004 and 35-18 ATS in that span. Although Akron lost its last meeting vs. Kent, the Zips won the previous four games, and they're also 10-6 their last 16 at home vs. Kent, including 8-3 ATS with revenge. "Last Home Game" System Play of the Year on Akron. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. And don't miss my two Tourney plays, as we look to extend our 34-10 run dating back to last year, and remain 100% perfect this season.
At 9:30 pm, our selection is on the Santa Clara Broncos plus the points over Gonzaga. These two teams met last week, and Gonzaga embarassed the Broncos with a 34-point shellacking. The knee jerk reaction might be to back the Bulldogs, but my database indicates that that blowout win might lead to a bit of over-confidence tonight, as underdogs of more than 5 points are a solid 60% ATS play in the Tourneys if they lost their last meeting with their current opponent by more than 30 points. Santa Clara's first game vs. Gonzaga this season was MUCH closer, and the Bulldogs needed Overtime to defeat Santa Clara, 87-82. I expect this game to be as competitive as that first game. One of the reasons why the Broncos weren't competitive last week was that their point guard, Brody Angley, got hit in the head, and suffered a concussion, and played just three minutes. His absence was significant since Santa Clara doesn't have an adequate backup (he generally sits just three minutes a game!), but he played 34 minutes last night, so he's healthy. Finally, the Broncos fall into a super 32-6 ATS Tourney system of mine which plays on certain .835 (or worse) teams off a low-scoring (55 or less points) victory, if they're matched up against another .835 (or worse) opponent. With the Broncos in off a 51-50 victory last night, we'll ride Santa Clara on Sunday. Take the points. Good luck, as always...Al McMordie. And don't miss my Colonial Athletic Ass'n Game of the Year on Sunday.

Everton boss David Moyes admits to concern about Kevin Mirallas, who is ruled out again by a hamstring injury this weekend.
Moyes confesses he cannot say when the Belgian midfielder will be back.
He said: "It is a worry because we are missing a really good player and someone who gives us a different attacking dimension.
"It wasn't a serious hamstring injury and we gave him a bit of extra time to recover. It wasn't as if we rushed him back.
"It may be scar tissue around the hamstring and he is getting seen to just now. I couldn't tell you how long he is going to be out.
"Around this time of year there are some players who come in from abroad and their bodies are used to having a winter break.
"That wasn't the reason he pulled his hamstring originally four weeks ago.
"But I do think adapting to the rigours of the Premier League could sometimes take a toll."

You can call it the BJP's good luck in winning the 25 seats in Bihar, or the 'Modi wave', which, along with the political decline of the Congress and other secular and non-NDA fronts, helped Narendra Modi and the BJP achieve victory in the Lok Sabha elections and walk the corridors of power once more.
The BJP made a concentrated effort to come to power in the Hindi heartland, and Bihar was its prime target after the coalition with the Nitish Kumar-led JD(U) ended. And there were stories all over Bihar that the state may witness some unusual setbacks after the new government forms at the Centre.
But Nitish Kumar, with some brilliant political engineering, stole the show and regained media attention of the scale he had enjoyed in his early days when he announced his resignation as Bihar chief minister.
The media coverage surrounding him that Saturday was akin to the media overdose during Modi's visits to Varanasi. From the moment television news channels broke the news of Nitish's resignation, it was a busy weekend for the media as well as the political and bureaucratic centres, continuing well into the week all the way up to Tuesday, when Bihar's new chief minister Jitan Ram Manjhi and his cabinet was sworn in. This gave a real sense of the politics of one the states of India most dominated by caste and other such factors.
Nitish claimed his resignation was in response to the party's performance in the general elections, and given on moral grounds, as he stood first in order to prevent Hindutva forces from coming to power.
His resignation gave birth to several questions, mainly:
1. How will the new government be formed?
2. Would there be mid-term polls?
3. Which parties would become new political allies?
4. Would Nitish Kumar say sorry to the BJP?
5. Would Lalu Prasad Yadav be given chance? And
6. Will the JD(U) see a split again?
The declaration of results on May 16 set off a series of events across the JD(U). On the one hand, there were demands of a division of the party, and on the other, two different lobbies of MLAs formed, with some of them shouting down JD(U) chief Sharad Yadav in the party's internal meetings.
Several party heavyweights rubbed shoulders and threats flew all around. The BJP claimed it was capable of making the new government, and that, after the general elections were over, they would have the support of some 50-55 JD(U) MLAs and may form a new government in Bihar.
BJP leaders also met Bihar governor DY Patil on Sunday evening, to discuss the options for forming the new government, setting off rumours.
But Monday seemed to be designed by Nitish alone, and he surprised everyone when he announced that Manjhi, hailing from the Mahadalit community, would be Bihar's new chief minister. The JD(U) also presented support letters from 119 MLAs to the governor, of which two are independent MLAs. The Bihar Vidhan Sabha comprises 239 members in total.
Nitish's announcement made took a hammer to many things at a time, primarily by dismissing all the misleading waves created by the BJP on the government's decline. It also maintained the JD(U)'s power quotient, though Sharad Yadav seemed to be losing the upper hand, especially at the grassroots and among the MLAs. By fielding Manjhi's name as a joint selection, Nitish also clipped the wings of Narendra Singh, who was piped to be the next chief minister.
By excluding Narendra Narayan Yadav as chief minister, Nitish also appeased Lalu Prasad Yadav, and the doors of friendship between the two remain open. Sharad Yadav would have gained power if NN Yadav had become CM, but Nitish's masterstroke rendered him powerless. Selecting a person from the Mahadalit caste was also a reward to the entire community, who remained loyal to the JD(U) in the previous elections.
The BJP decried Nitish's moves, calling them "remote control" politics, and recalled the time when Lalu Prasad fielded his wife Rabri Devi as CM and his new political face. But Nitish's political masterstroke earned him the emotional support of the minorities and the anti-BJP OBCs in the state. People in Bihar called him the "vikas purush" after 15 long black years of Lalu Prasad's rule.
Some political scientists also said this formula of Dalit appeasement comes from the Congress, like the time they proposed Dalit leaders like Babu Jagjiwan Ram on the national level, and other Dalit leaders in different regions to consolidate Dalit votes, while the real status of the Dalits remained the same. This attitude of Congress helped Kanshi Ram to constitute a parallel Dalit force which is now known as the BSP.
The same Dalit factor had already helped Nitish when he came up with the Mahadalit status for downtrodden communities of the society who still support him for the reforms. Although Manjhi is not the first ever Dalit CM of Bihar, Nitish would not have been easily able to get some from the OBC or a minority or even someone from the forward castes as the CM, as he would have lost the move.
These events also showed that though Sharad Yadav used his power to force Nitish to resign, all attention was on Nitish when he announced his vision for the state's development, and he even hinted that he would do some big things in future.
Manjhi was rewarded for his loyalty, and also for his longevity with the Mahadalit caste. Manjhi lost the last Lok Sabha elections and did not even get a ministerial portfolio in Nitish's first term due to his involvement in the B Ed scam that time. Later, when he got relief from these cases, he was rewarded with a ministerial portfolio in the second term. The Mahadslits have a good 10% in Bihar's caste bouquet, and Nitish is still eyeing the backward and Muslim votes to regain his political power. He did not want to greet Modi as the new PM, claiming to be a secular CM. So his move achieved three goals at a time.
Even if the opposition claims Nitish will still indirectly control the new CM, the newly formed government has a tough set of challenges to overcome. Similarly the MLAs will now also enjoy at least some real interaction with this CM who is considerably manageable than Nitish, who, as CM, ran a one man show for his entire two term tenure. There are also chances that now all small and big internal disputes of the party will be solved by Nitish alone, which would be a tricky affair if Sharad Yadav is not in a positive mood.
Former Deputy CM Sushil Modi, on the other hand, ended up as the biggest loser who did not even have the chance to utilise the Modi wave, and he was also blamed by JD(U) supporters for breaking the coalition for no reason. His claims of having the support of more than 50 JD(U) MLAs also disappeared when Nitish got the required numbers.
Now the political psychosis of Bihar will see massive changes in the vacant Rajya Sabha seats of Ram Vilas Paswan, Ram Kripal Yadav, and Rajeev Pratap Rudy, which will see new faces. Two seats will be taken over by JD(U) and one will be used by the BJP, which already seems booked for Shah Nawaz Hussain after his defeat in the Lok Sabha polls. But the big question is whether Nitish will send Sharad to Delhi by the Rajya Sabha path, or someone else, in which case Sharad might see a dark phase ahead.
Lalu Prasad, on the other hand, knows he is out of politics for the next five years due to court compliance, and if Misa gets an easy entry, he may regain his Yadav vote-bank due to a sympathy wave. Misa has a clean image, which will also help in a complete makeover of the RJD in the coming days, as Lalu now faces a new challenge in his community for leadership in the form of Pappu Yadav, who claims to be the next Yadav stalwart.
The Congress, after being thrown back from national politics is now in no mood to lose any of the battlegrounds, so it will easily go with the support system. So, the Congress also goes into silent mode.
On Tuesday evening, Patna witnessed a mixed bag of political faces when former SC-ST development minister and standing MLA from Makhdoompur assembly seat Jitan Ram Manjhi took oath as CM of Bihar. 17 other cabinet ministers were sworn in along with him, two of whom are independent MLAs Dulal Chandra Goswami and Vinay Bihari, who have been rewarded with ministerial portfolios.
The rest of the jumbo cabinet comprised both old and new faces, including comprised of names like Vijay Kumar Chaudhary, Vijayendra Prasad Yadav, Narendra Singh, Vrishin Patel, Ramayee Ram, Bheem Singh, Damodar Rawat, Narendra Narayan Singh, PK Shahi, Shahid Ali Khan, Shyam Rajak, Neetish Mishra, Awdhesh Kumar Kushwaha, Gautam Singh and Lesi Singh.
The next big development could be that on while trying to appease the forward and other backward castes, Nitish will have to choose someone from either the Bhumihar or the Kurmi caste for the post of deputy chief minister. But Nitish is surely in the mood to surprise the BJP in their national pursuits by extending his candidature to lead the secular and socialist forces when the BSP and SP are in damage control mode.

Bullying can be stopped, expert says
CORPUS CHRISTI - Any kid can become a bully and pick on others. Even the good ones.
So said psychologist and educator JoAnn Deak on Friday afternoon at St. James Episcopal School during the school's H-E-B Lecture series.
But bullying can be stopped. It takes parents. It takes educators. It takes a little conversation with an adult and a little encouragement to accept others, she said.
"After we are taken out of our comfort zone," Deak said, "we can learn to accept others and stop the bullying."
Bullying and its effects have made national news recently when a 15-year-old hanged herself in January after enduring the taunts of bullies at her Massachusetts high school.
Deak said a person's emotional memory is created within the first 20 years, and girls especially can be sensitive to bullies' attacks.
"Kids get upset easily and don't use their judgment, they get angry very fast," said Deak, who has spent more than 30 years in education and psychology in Ohio. "We need to understand that and accommodate it."
Often, kids who bully others are in need of special attention, she said. Many times bullies can be hypersensitive and deal with their self-esteem issues or troubles at home through the shield of mean actions, Deak said.
"When kids are unjustifiably mean to others they might as well be wearing a sign that says 'Something is wrong with me,'" she said.
Whatever the cause, bullying can be damaging on both sides, she said.
"Put-downs and contempt erodes a child's self-esteem, not only of the victim, but of the bully, too," Deak said.
Carla Hoffman brought her two 11-year-old daughters to the lecture.
"I feel like I've been given a road map to try and steer my children in the right direction," she said.
Hoffman tries to intervene when she can when her kids experience bullies. Every parent has dealt with bullying at some point, whether in a school or social situation, she said.
"And we can all remember from our own childhood a situation where a bully affected us," she said.
Hoffman bought one of Deak's books.
For educators and parents to deal with bullies, the most important thing is creating a dialogue, Deak said.
"Don't close the door on communication with your child," she said. "It's our job to help mold them, to teach them it's OK to have missteps because that is the best way to learn."
To take kids out of their comfort shells, Deak recommends changing up the seating chart in a classroom every week or two. She calls it the "Baskin Robbins Friendship."
"Expand your tolerance to expand all of the flavors, all kinds of friends," Deak said.

Good evening all it is my great honor to be tonight's presenter for Brothers and Sisters
First a quick introduction
Welcome to Brothers and Sisters, the weekly meetup for prayer* and community at Daily Kos. We put an asterisk on pray* to acknowledge that not everyone uses conventional religious language, but may want to share joys and concerns, or simply take solace in a meditative atmosphere. Anyone who comes in the spirit of mutual respect, warmth and healing is welcome.Tonight I want to talk about change, reflection and rebirth and what they mean to me; especially given the time of the year.....
For me I've always celebrated the new year on the winter solstice. It just seems to make more sense to me then anything else and like I think just about everyone else the begining of a new year (whenever you celebrate it) leads me to introspection and reflection both on the last year and the overall arc of my life. I freely admit (well here at least in comfortable anonymity) that perhaps I think too much in general and about the overall arc of my life in specific but I really to an extent can't help myself. Not sure I want to either though as I think too many don't really spend enough time reflecting.
This year for example I mostly have been reflecting on how much a year can change your life. A year ago I was in school, pulling effectively 60 hour work weeks and stressing no little over whether I was going to be able to handle both finishing school and whether I would be able to find a job once I got now. Now here I am with my B.S. in chemistry, 6 months into my first professional job and no longer in the city of not only my birth but the city where the majority of my friends are. It's so strange in a way. My life has been both ordered and structured for so long (school school school and more school) that I don't feel precisely adrift but neither do I feel so much connected.
It is musings like that that lead me to what is the second purpose of the new year, change and rebirth. What do I want to change? What do I not want to change? And do I need so much change that I need a fresh start?
I honestly am still in many ways deciding and likely any answer I come to will change over time. Which is as it should be. Reflection, change and rebirth are both natural and necessary. They are such an organic part of what it is to be human that all cultures and all religions incorporate them. And so my brothers and sisters I ask you all to not be afraid or reluctant to turn inward, to think about what has occurred, what is occurring and what will occurred. And to ask yourselves do I want to change this? Do I want to change myself? Because as Gandhi himself said change begins with us, we must be the change we wish to see in the world.

Marilyn J. Dillon
Age: 57
Family: I have been married for almost 36 years to Russell Dillon Sr. and have three children, two son-in-laws and one beautiful granddaughter.
Address: 39 Pearl St., Wakeman
Occupation: A Registered Nurse with local hospitals in the surrounding communities over a 30 year period. 15 years as a Registered Nurse at the Erie County Board of MR/DD.
Education: A graduate of MB Johnson S of N, Eyria, Oh and of Toledo University with a Bachelors of Education, focus School Nursing.
Previous Public Service: 3 1/2 years as Wakeman Village Council
Why did you decide to run: Each one of us has learned about civic responsibility throughout our school years. We have the ability to do this in many different ways. How we choose to participate it is not only a freedom that we possess it is a duty. This past year I had the opportunity to speak with the third graders at Western Reserve about leadership in civic duty. They renewed my optimism for the future generations. I want to do my part to keep Wakeman fiscally fit and the community socially responsible for all its residents.
What do you see as the top three concerns facing your constituents:
Wakeman is a small village with the same requirements as a large city for providing services to its residents. We must provide water and sewer. We are guided by the Revised Code and the Ohio EPA mandates. Therefore it costs the village to train our individuals, to do daily maintenance, to provide services when extenuating circumstances arise, and to replace and repair the system as needed. One of the biggest risks to our water system is the line that runs beneath Vermilion River to service the East End of town. Should we experience a break or leakage of water in that line, we would be faced with a major blow to our budget.
The second most challenging issue is bringing knowledge to the residents of the community so that they understand what is happening when decisions are made.
Finally, I think the next challenge is to create enthusiasm in the community so that the residents become involved in the issues that are being dealt with by the council. Kathleen Frey

Why did you decide to run: I have learned a lot within the last year of being on Council of what makes up local government in a small village like Wakeman. I really do believe in the power that local government has when it works effectively. I am running for this council seat again because I believe that Wakeman is a special place as it exists now, and can continue to grow in the future but only with the right leadership and dedication. This village learned the hard way about budgeting, finances, and cutbacks and it is important to move forward from this now while being sure to not return to those circumstances.
What do you see as the top three concerns facing your constituents: I believe that the biggest issue that this village is facing is the condition of our water lines. With the growth that Wakeman is experiencing it is absolutely necessary to improve this system with as little cost to our residents as possible. It is not fair to the village residents to spend tax dollars continuously repairing lines which are costly and we know need to be replaced. We have started to implement changes to better equip ourselves to start replacing the entire system as needed but this plan will need close attention and action to make it worth the villages time that has already been spent. Our water department must run in the black and we must make upgrades to the system. James A. Mormon

Previous Public Service: I currently serve on the Wakeman Zoning Board of Appeals.
Why am I seeking this position: As a father of three who also owns a business here in Wakeman, I am committed to making sure that Wakeman prospers for both its citizens and its businesses.
Top three issues for the office: First, before we pass new legislation, we need to make sure that the current ordinances are being enforced consistently and properly. Second the village needs a incentive package for those who wish to start new businesses or developments in town. Lastly we need to make sure our police department has the tools and resources to do its job, so that our families and our businesses are safe. Chuck Moore

Why did you decide to run: When one is elected to public office, he or she must realize they are a servant of the people. As mayor, one must be accessible to the people. Problems do not occur only one evening a month. A good leader should be prepared to look into solving these problems 24/7.
I intend to be accessible and do my best to help solve the village's problems, working together with the village council.
Wakeman, as other villages do, is putting their trust in elected officials. I have no intention of violating that trust.
What do you see as the top three concerns facing your constituents: Good leadership; accessiblity; open-door policy; full-time mayor as opposed to part-time; and work with as well as for the people. Stanley K. Wolfe

What do you see as the top three concerns facing your constituents: I will continue water line replacement as funds are available, continue exploring ways to save more tax payer money and continue working to develop our village. I will continue to be fair and remain consistent in representing all village residents. EDITOR'S NOTE: Larry Cancel and Chris Hipp did not return candidate questionaires sent to them by the Reflector.
