Bill would fine skiers for leaving trailBy Patrick McArdle
STAFF WRITER | February 17,2013Vyto Starinskas / Staff File Photo
Snowboarder Jack Lambert, left, and skier Zack Ross, both of Vernon, N.J., call their families to tell them they are safe after getting lost at Killington Resort in early January. Nine skiers and boarders went out of bounds and were helped by police that day.In a winter which saw police and emergency workers responding to about 50 lost skiers, Sen. Kevin Mullin, R-Rutland, has introduced legislation which would impose fines of up to $500 for deliberately skiing out of bounds at a Vermont resort.
Theres been a lot of it this year, especially at Killington, and its quite costly when were sending out rescue teams to find people, Mullin said.
Nobody goes out of bounds thinking that theyre going to get lost, he said, but inevitably it happens and I just think it would be helpful to have a sign that says, It is a crime to ski out of bounds ...
When skiers leave the marked trails at a ski resort they can become lost in the woods, especially if theyre unfamiliar with the area. Many skiers now have cellular phones and can call for help so rescue workers and police can lead them to safety.
Mullins district includes the Killington and Pico ski resorts. Most of the skiers who got lost this winter skied off trails at Killington.
Mullin said he wrote the bill with a maximum fine of $500 because he didnt want people to be afraid of the fine and not call for help.
However, he said it might be time to take stronger action so skiers dont put themselves at risk at public expense.
We have to send a clear message that when they do this and we have to send the rescue squads in, its costing the taxpayers of the state of Vermont a lot of money, he said.
Mullin said the ski resorts were not responsible for the problem.
The ski areas are doing their best, he said. Theyre putting up signs. Theyre doing everything they can to try to warn these people not to do it, but they still do it.
After its introduction, the bill was referred to the Senate Judiciary Committee. The chairman, Sen. Richard Sears, D-Bennington, said it was too early to tell how much support the bill would have. However, he said it has become an issue all over Vermont.
Sears said he expected to hold hearings on the bill during the week of Feb. 25. Representatives of the skiing industry, law enforcement and rescue personnel and even skiers are encouraged to offer input on the proposal, he said.
Whose responsibility is it when (skiers) choose to do something reckless? Sears said. ... I remember playing golf down in Florida and seeing a sign: Water moccasins. Well, I gotta tell you, when I dropped the ball in that pond, I didnt go looking for it.
As written now, the bill would add language to the existing statute on unlawful trespass and make it illegal to use the facilities of a ski area to access terrain outside the ski areas open and designated ski trails (if) as a result, (the skier) must be rescued by a rescue organization.
The Legislature looked at the possibility of charging skiers for their own rescues 10 years ago. But Sears said at that time police opposed the idea for fear that lost skiers would be too intimidated by the cost to ask for help.
Parker Riehle, president of the Vermont Ski Areas Association, said he believed the current discussionsof a fine came about because of a suggestion made by Killington staff to Vermont State Police.
Ski areas will continue to try to find ways to keep their skiers on the trail, Riehle said,but the legislation is worth looking at.
Mullin said he was trying to respond to the issue in a thoughtful way that doesnt do any harm to the (ski) industry.
The industry does great things for us and brings in huge revenue to the state, he said. Its really the backbone of our winter economy, but I think everybody needs to come to the table and we need to figure this out.

Silly kids... I'm sure she meant Spakfilla....
Kids are great aren't they.
Some years ago
I had a hot date.... oh yeah... now NORMALLY... my girls would never meet a guy I was dating ever... but I had known this chap for quite some time and so did the girls... as a friend.. so they felt quite at ease with him... you might think that a good thing.
. So they thought him coming to take me out to dinner etc was not unlike all of us toddling off to Dreamworld or somewhere for the day... no... other was a hot date.
He was a pretty hot guy too... a bit younger (you will soon see why this information is important) but no to them he was just... yanno mum's friend.. well ALL our friend.
So he arrives a tad early.. not a good thing for a single mum who has got off work.. picked the kids up.. shopped.. done dinner.. homework.. baths.. and then had all of ten minutes for a shower shave shampoo and thrown her dress on....
So.. I am still in the bathroom with dripping hair and I tell the girls to make him a cup of tea and have a chat while I finish getting ready....
As I am applying my makeup... first one little one wanders into the bathroom smiling while she watches me apply it... eyes wide.. and she runs off... second child comes in and stands at the door watching in quiet fascination and then wanders off.. finally.. the third girl wanders up.. looks at me closely.. smiles.. says You look nice Mum... and wanders off too.
So I madly run the hair dryer over my head...all of five minutes tops.. and as I turn the noisy hair dryer off... I hear those little angelic voices drift down the hallway from the lounge room...
"Mummy looks so beautiful.. she bought some magic makeup"
"Yes.. she doesn't look old like normal anymore.. it's new makeup"
"Mum said it costs a lot of money but I think lots really good cause she doesn't look like really old now"
"She looks young. She looks nearly like as young as you now. You can go up and look at her in the bathroom. Ask her to show you the bottle."
"Don't be silly girls. He isn't allowed to go in the bathroom now."
"Mum! Hurry up! Come out and show John how different you look!"
I was in there silently screaming Nooooooooooooooo . Finished being ready in under a minute and gracefully walked out as if the conversation never happened.
When I appeared he said "Oh my! You look SO young! Is that a new makeup you are wearing. Its like magic isn't it! Can I see the bottle?" he said squinting at me an inch away.from my face... with the girls jumping up and down squealing "Seeeee ! We told you so!"
Uh huh.

Not the most anticipated match on the card but who do you think should go over?
If we break it down, sheamus had been given a massive push since last summer establishing as a top baby face on smackdown and the entire wwe. Former u.s champion, king of the ring, x2 wwe champion and the 2012 royal rumble winner, impressive credentials in a young career
Daniel Bryan, the over
Updated 03-17-2012 at 04:11 PM by antishere
With the hall of fame coming up it got me thinking about edge's career and how amazing his career truly was.
After debuting in 1998 as a loner walking the city streets attacking random people, he started rather dismally but still looking impressive, after his summerslam debut where he teamed and won as sables mystery tag partner he began a feud with gangrel and his soon to be revealed
So the main events of mania are all set and were on the road to some exciting weeks of promos and build up but im here to debate the possible after wrestlemania thoughts.
Lets start with the possible GM of both brands
Its rumored there will be a big tag match to determine who will be GM of both shows, myself i would rather see T Long get the nod but funk man does get the better
Updated 02-27-2012 at 10:11 AM by Frank
Over the last several weeks alot has changed in wwe.
THE shoot promo!
VKM has been "relieved" of his duties
The wwe champion "doesn't" work for the company
We have two money in the bank winners
A new world heavyweight champion
And a consistent reminder of the mainia 28 main event

Godsmack and The Black River Coliseum have teamed up in a special promotion to raise money to support three organizations that have provided invaluable assistance during the recent flooding in Southeast Missouri. The weather emergency resulted in the designation of the Coliseum as an emergency shelter for area flood victims and necessitated the rescheduling of the April 30 Godsmack concert to Tuesday, May 10.
An Epiphone Limited Edition Studio Deluxe electric guitar, with alpine white finish and gold hardware, will be played live by Godsmack lead singer Sully Erna during the Poplar Bluff show and will be autographed by all members of the band. The guitar will be raffled with 100% of the proceeds going to the Southeast Missouri Chapter of the American Red Cross, the United Gospel Rescue Mission and the Animal Welfare Alliance. The guitar itself is being donated by K Square, Inc., the St. Louis agency that books shows at the Coliseum.
To a Godsmack fan, the autographed guitar will be a priceless piece of memorabilia.
Coliseum director Randy Mathews remarked on the generosity of area residents. "We talked about food donations, or clothes, toiletries and so forth, but local groups have been so eager to help, we realized none of these items represented a critical need. That's when the band stepped up to the plate."
Godsmack band members came up with the idea of the guitar raffle as a tangible way to demonstrate their support for Poplar Bluff and the surrounding area. "We want to do our part to help in any way we can," Erna said.
"This is a great way to raise much-needed money for some fantastic charities, while offering fans a chance to get something that literally no one else in the world can ever have," Mathews added.
For more information about the May 10 Godsmack concert or the Black River Coliseum, go to BlackRiverColiseum.com.

You Luckie Dog! Doggie Daycare Resort & SpaRead MoreRick DuBois left a career in the cutthroat corporate world in favor of his current and more humane profession as the owner and resident "pack leader" at You Luckie Dog! The lifelong pooch aficionado brings more than 20 years of dog expertise—including a stint as a chow-chow breeder and trainer—to his canine daycare, boarding, and grooming spa. "Pretty much whatever a traditional kennel does, we do the opposite," says Rick, who personally groups his tenants into amiable playgroups according to size, temperament, and fastest time swimming the 300-meter dog paddle. The canine resort rejuvenates man's best stressed friend with physical exercise and socialization, with stays ranging from day-long excursions to overnight boarding. The popular daycare service allows early morning drop-off and pickup as late as 8 p.m., and Rick makes a point of never smacking his customers with dollar-per-minute fees for late pickups. "I know what it's like to have meetings run long while people drone on. I want people to know I'm not trying to nickel-and-dime them."4960 Pacheco BlvdMartinez, CA US
A Lucky DogRead MoreIt's fair to say that the desire to work with animals is in Jennifer-Lee Wilson's blood. She started young, watching her father tend to animals and their owners in the family's pet store. Then in 1998, she opened A Lucky Dog. Here, she leads obedience training classes that inspire owners to encourage their pets to sit, come, and stay with rewards such as treats and toys. As a certified dog trainer and animal behaviorist, she's found that positive reinforcement is the best way to teach a dog proper behavior— whether he's in a park full of rambunctious puppies or at a Texas hold 'em tournament and has just gone all in. Jennifer and her dog-loving staff also provide doggie day care and handle pet sitting duties. Unlike typical boarding facilities, they actually come out to pet owners' homes to feed and walk their four-legged charges. They go this extra mile, both figuratively and literally, so that the animals can stay in familiar, stress-free surroundings.11000 Crow Canyon RoadDanville, CA US
Sacred Cross Horse ServicesRead MoreSacred Cross Horse Services founder Ashley Mason has transformed her extensive background in horseback riding and show jumping into a unique training program. At stables tucked away in redwood forests, students attend English-style riding lessons that focus on basic fundamentals such as grooming, tacking, and learning how to bond with horses. The lessons cater to students' individual needs and skill levels while simultaneously prioritizing their education and enjoyment. Sacred Cross also leads horse camps for children, as well as lessons designed to impart a sense of responsibility, teach empathy, and stop them from trying to lead the dog into a canter. Students are required to wear long pants and heeled shoes while riding.18308 Bollinger Canyon RdSan Ramon, CA US
Elite Canine Daycare & SpaRead MoreWhen it comes to dogs, Elite Canine Daycare & Spa's owner Lisa has seen it all. Over the years she has shown dogs, trained dogs, and studied canine nutrition. At Elite Canine Daycare & Spa, she and her staff of stylists and trainers implement their diverse knowledge of dogs, pampering canines with grooming services and presiding over cage-free daycare facilities. Groomers tend to furry clientele in a calming environment outfitted with flameless candles and canine furniture designed to withstand frantic tail wagging. Pups relax with foamy bubble baths and vanilla blueberry facials or show off new breed-specific haircuts. Canine birthday parties give dogs a reason to cut loose seven times each year, devouring doggie birthday cakes and looking forward to doggie retirement.2070 San Ramon Valley Blvd.San Ramon, CA US

First confirmation of shipping
"Greetings from Amazon.com. we shipped item from Toys"R"Us (Sold by Toysrus.com, LLC):
1 Lego Building Set - Make and Create Mindstorms NXT (8527) $249.99
Item shipped on June 23, 2006:
Delivery estimate: June 27 - 28, 2006"
Looks like they're in the open, people.
21 comments:
Lego Shop-at-Home NXT personal order status just changed to "Shipped 24 June 2006". Within the last hour no less! Yeah!
So it appears that Shop-at-Home pre-orders are now shipping as well as pre-ordered Amazon/ToyRUs sets.
At this time the Amazon website says "This item is currently not available", which suggests a sold out inventory. I wouldn't be at all surprised to see the Shop-at-Home web site change availability status to late August.
Yes, indeedy, the next two weeks are going to be interesting...
- Jun 25, 2006, 12:44:00 AM
I got an email from LEGO that my NXT as shipped, but the tracking number doesn't work! =(
Was anybody given a valid one? Maybe they just haven't actually 'shipped' yet and will ship on Monday during which the numbers will be official?
- Jun 25, 2006, 10:45:00 PM
I called customer service at Lego, and was told that my tracking number would not work until Monday, but that my package was scheduled for Monday delivery, so the tracking number was not really useful.
- Jun 26, 2006, 1:41:00 AM

Ya gotta love it!
It looks as if UPS began processing shipments on Saturday, but do not update their tracking database until Monday.

I talked to Customer Service this morning. They said my kit shipped yesterday (Saturday). Woohoo!

My tracking number for UPS works. It shows the package was submitted to UPS at 9:20pm on June 24th, and it currently in transit.
- Jun 26, 2006, 11:55:00 PM
Noon EST on Monday, and my tracking number still doesn't work. Says it's in the wrong format. Starts with 1Z then a bunch a numbers, but there is one letter in the middle. Wonder if that's screwing it up. It's supposed to be next day shipping, so I'll see if it shows up. Unfortunately, I'm over a 1000 miles away from home on business. =(
Guess I'll play with it on Thursday when I get back!
- Jun 27, 2006, 2:25:00 AM
I called UPS, the letter in the third grouping is apparently 'valid'.
It's not uncommon for a company which is shipping out packages to create a tracking number and report it to the purchaser but... then the package sits in their loading dock until pickup.
It's happened to me before with software/PC game purchases. Keep an eye on it and if you haven't seen any movement by Wednesday morning, that's about when to start panicking. Until then, it's just in transit.
Just remember, they can't have a tracking number unless the process has at least started from the originator.
- Jun 27, 2006, 4:17:00 AM
Lego Shop-at-Home sent me a shipping confirmation on Saturday morning, June 24th. Just now, Monday, June 26th at 6:20PM EST the tracking information has become available on the UPS web site. So it shows how slowly things progress over the weekend.
- Jun 27, 2006, 8:30:00 AM
Yup.. looks like they applied the stickers with numbers on Saturday, but didn't actually ship them until today. I get mine tomorrow! (In spirit because, again, home is Virginia and I'm in Wisconsin.) CANT WAIT TILL THURSDAY!!!!!
- Jun 27, 2006, 10:49:00 AM
Independently of the fact the kits will arrive way later in Europe, there's something about it which I think is a bit sad... Here isn't probably the best place to speak about it, but I can't be bothered searching for a better place. Anyway.
Delivery dates for the NXT in Europe depends essentially of the langage you choose: if you want an english kit, its estimated shipping date is August 7 (not that far away, sounds fair enough); but if you want another langague you're back to October 15.
That too sounds fair enough, translating the whole thing (especially if you want to have it done properly which is certainly the case with TLC) takes time, nothing to argue there.
The problem in my opinion is that the choice of languages you have (well, on S@H) is tied to your country of delivery - Belgium gets French/Dutch; France French only; Italy French/English; and so on.
Wouldn't it have been nice if everyone could choose the language they prefer, or at least choose an english kit if they wanted to? Or would it be too much of a logistical nightmare?
Frankly, I usually don't care much for french software (especially if it's badly translated, but again I don't think that'll be an issue here) and would very much prefer receiving an english kit; especially if I can get it months earlier. I'd even gladly give up the duracell batteries :-)
Is this a topic that has been discussed amongst the MDP?
- Jun 27, 2006, 9:06:00 PM
Joubarc - A very valid concern.
On a lighter note,
- Jun 28, 2006, 12:30:00 AM
I believe that the language issue is not one you have with retailers, but one you have with your government.
In all of the cases you mention, don't those states (especially France) have an official language? By that, I mean that all commerce MUST occur in that language? I know Quebec has such limitations (all signs must include French, they MAY include English).
Here in the States we have a different problem. Without any official language, it's hit or miss. You can go to some ethnically populated neighborhoods and if you don't speak chinese, japanese, cantonese, korean, spanish, portugese or french you're out of luck.
Anyway - if things were done smartly, the language dependant portions of the software development suite are plugins, and thus should be easier to translate and change.
But I believe that LEGO is simply trying to comply with national requirements.
- Jun 28, 2006, 1:03:00 AM
- Brian Davis said...
Another factor that may exist with the language issue is customer support. If LEGO distributes only french language sets in France, it sems likely they will have very few customer support calls with language issues. But if they ship an international version where the user must, at installation, select a language, this may significantly increase the number of customer support calls (remember, even if it's a fraction of 1%, it's a lot of calls).
I do not know the reasons for this decision (as was mentioned, I suspect at least portions of the SW are based on language modules), but I agree it would be nice to have a single international, multi-language version. I wonder what the true reasons are.
The other thing it's hard to believe is how much NXTs are going for on eBay... *already*!

I was wondering when eBay was going to start showing them... $350US for "Buy Now" is crazy...
I guess if you've gotta have it now, you'll pay the extra. But I'd be wary of someone buying it and not opening it to check it out... too big of a temptation.

Thanks for these comments!
I doubt regulations have anything to do about it - sure European countries do have official langaages, and some can be quite picky about it; but I don't think it poses any restrictions on what commerce can sell (not in Belgium in any case - if I want to buy, say, a new Mac* with Mac OS X in english, it's possible; and there are english bookshops, etc)
And if it was related to country official languages - the NXT should be available in german in Belgium, since it's an official language; and it isn't.
The support issue sounds more relevant; especially considering the AFOL market might not be the primary audience; it'll probably be way easier for kids to program the thing with a tool in their own language (for those who are lucky enough to have a translation - I envy Italy for having a possibility to buy the english kit; but I pity them for not having the possibility to buy an Italian one).
I suppose indeed that the vast majority of people will prefer the kit in their own language, and so it probably makes sense to do the marketing that way. In any case I still wish I would have had the choice, again especially given the delay difference. But maybe I'm only one of few who prefer having it now than having it translated. Ha well, I guess I'll just have to wait (and drool over everyone else's pictures).
I also wish I could get another language version afterwards - what if I really don't like the french version at all, and want the english one?
As for an international version - it sounds nice; and most of the time it can pick up the OS' language and select it by default (with a choice to do otherwise). Actually, the problem in localized software isn't much that it's not english - it's when you have some pieces in english, some in something else. If your OS is in english, it's easier if the rest is too. A mixed-languages dialog box is something stupid and it does happen way too often. (Especially when the box specifically says for example "click 'yes'" and you don't have a "yes" button)
Of course an international version would have delayed everyone a few months, and that's definitely not something we want.
Well, enough ranting :-)
* Speaking of Mac, the NXT requirements still speak of a PowerPC processor; are Intel-Macs supported natively by the NXT software?
- Jun 28, 2006, 6:19:00 AM
The European Union was initially founded as a free trade area, there should not be any restrictions on the language used by products or service providers.
Sure food is normally labelled in the local language, but I can go to the Chinese or Korean supermarkets in town and only a small proportion of the stock has English labels.
You could try ordering from a toy store in Britain, www.toysrus.co.uk are a little behind Shop at Home, with a 1st September pre-order shipping date.
(Quebec is the only place I know of that is insecure enough to have such languasge requirements.)

- Brian Davis said...
Regarding Intel-Macs: Rule of thumb, if it's not in the "supported" list, assume it's not been tested, *BUT*... I think I remember one of the MDP trying it out on a new Intel-based Mac with positive results. I imagine if there are any support issues with the Intels, they will likely be ironed out rapidly.
Summary: I think it works fine on an Intel-Mac, but /i wouldn't rush out and buy it based on my memory :-)

i got a tracking number for my NXT in an email on the 25th, but the number didn't work until the evening of the 26th. my NXT came the day after because i live fairly close to connecticut where there is a big LEGO factory (or warehouse?)

There's no denying that our industry has some of the most innovative engineers and designers, along with savvy enthusiasts, who are constantly dreaming up new things for our favorite street machines. Whether you're looking for something shiny to accentuate the exterior or something to improve the handling, it's out there. And if you're looking for added grunt to get down the 1320, then all you need to do is ask yourself how much will be enough to satiate your appetite.
This month we invaded the secret skunkworks of various manufacturers and scooped out 31 of the coolest parts we came across. It's here you're going to find the products for your favorite hot rod that resulted from these creative minds, including engine bolt-ons for any number of small- and big-block combinations. And for those of you lucky enough to be sporting a new '10 Camaro, we've got you covered too.-Henry D
Quick Notes
What We Did
Got the inside scoop on the latest bolt-ons
Bottom Line
There's something here to fit every budget
Cost (Approx)
$37 and up
If you're building a small-block with 400 ci or more, or a very aggressive smaller-displacement combination, then AFR's latest 235cc offering is going to take your breath away. The new cylinder head is a direct bolt-on, standard-port-height, 23-degree piece that flows over 340 cfm on the intake and nearly 260 cfm on the exhaust side, rivaling many raised-runner 18-degree cylinder heads! The new 235 has the exact same geometry and valve location as AFR's popular 227 head but is fitted with slightly larger 2.125-inch intake valves, a 1.600-inch exhaust, and what AFR claims is a level of port refinement never seen before in an affordable production piece. Standard chamber volumes are 70 or 80 cc, but AFR can mill them anywhere in between and also as small as 60 cc with an angle mill. These heads are certain to set the bar a few rungs higher for 23-degree performance, and the other good news is that if you already own AFR's previous-generation 227 or the new Eliminator 227, all your valvetrain components will be a direct swap.
What it fits: Small-block mills
What it is: 23 cylinder heads
What it costs: $2,225

Fuel injection tuning no longer has to be completed via a laptop computer. Edelbrock's newly refined fuel injection kit delivers more user-friendly capabilities with improved mileage potential. The Pro-Flo XT not only comes with a handheld calibration module for on-the-fly calibration, but the ECU is more powerful and features fully sequential injection. Also included is the intake manifold loaded with a 90mm throttle body along with the wiring harness, all electronic sensors, fuel system components, injectors, fuel rails, and software.
What it fits: Small- or big-blocks and LS1
What it is: Complete fuel injection system

Upgrading to a larger set of brakes should leave the option for visiting the local auto parts store for replacement items.

McGaughy's 2-inch drop spindles are CNC-machined, and the 13-inch GM cross-drilled rotor kits are all off-the-shelf GM components. The kit comes with everything from calipers, brackets, bearings, and hubs right down to dust caps and cotter pins.
What it fits: '67-81 Camaro, '64-72 Chevelle, '68-74 Nova
What it is: Big front brake kit
What it costs: $849 with spindles

Randy Greer | Head Coach
E-mail: email@example.com
Office Phone: (864) 231-2088
Randy Greer joined the Anderson coaching staff in the fall of 2004 and has been involved with every aspect of the program.
After serving as an assistant coach for two years, Greer was named head coach of the Anderson University men's and women's cross country and track and field teams in July, 2006, quickly building the Trojans into perennial contenders for championships on the conference, regional and national levels.
In a career inundated with accomplishments, Greer led the Trojans to arguably the best season in school history for both the cross country and track and field teams in 2010-11, as he was named the South Atlantic Conference Co-Coach of the Year for women's cross country following the squad's first-place finish in the SAC Championship. Greer again claimed SAC Coach of the Year accolades in 2011 for leading the women's cross country squad to yet another conference title.
The men's and women's track and field teams earned top five regional rankings in both the indoor and outdoor seasons in 2010-11, while the four squads combined to set an astounding 33 new school records throughout the year. Sophomore Will Byars was named the men's USTFCCA Southeast Region Field Athlete of the Year, while senior Durecelle Campbell earned the same honor on the women's side.
The 2010 cross country season marked the seventh consecutive year ('04, '05,' 06, '07, '08, '09, '10) that an Anderson runner claimed the women's individual cross country conference title, while AU has had the women's cross country league Freshman of the Year on its roster five of the last nine years. Anderson has also had an individual national qualifier in seven of the last nine years in cross country. The 2011 season marked the Trojan women's team's fourth conference title and the second in the South Atlantic Conference, while the 2012 squad brought home third place.
In the spring of 2006, he helped coach the men's and women's track teams that rewrote the Anderson record book, and in his first year at the helm of both programs, Greer led both the women's and men's teams to CVAC titles and received two CVAC Coach of the Year awards. He followed up by guiding both the men's women's cross country teams to two victories during the 2008 season. The AU women's captured second place at the Conference Carolinas' Championships and the Trojan men's team posted a third-place finish at the same event.
Individually, Anderson standout Jennifer Hitt won her fourth consecutive Conference Carolinas individual title and Ashley McClellion earned Freshman of the Year honors.
Greer's teams are successful in the classroom as well, with his women's cross country teams combining for back-to-back NCAA All-Academic recognition in 2008 and 2009, and again in 2011 and 2012, while five individuals have earned NCAA All-Academic honors seven times (Diana Willard in 2008, Whitney Bishoff in 2009, 2010 and 2011, Emily Eckroth, Amanda Johnson and Hannah Robles in 2011). The women's track and field squad also claimed NCAA All-Academic honors in 2010 and USTFCCA All-Academic accolades in 2011, while several individuals have garnered USTFCCA All-Academic accolades in over the past three seasons.
Under Greer's guidance, the women's cross country team is always in the hunt to claim the Dr. Shirley Jacks Award, which is presented by the AU Athletics Department to the team that possesses the highest grade point average for each semester, having claimed the honor four times in the past five years.
Whitney Bishoff has earned first team Academic All-America honors twice and was presented the NCAA's Elite 88 award in March, 2011 on the eve of the 2011 Indoor Track & Field Championships. The Elite 88 is presented to the student-athlete with the highest cumulative grade-point average participating at the finals site for each of the NCAA's 88 championships. She also earned the Elite 89 award at the 2011 NCAA Cross Country Championships.
Greer began his coaching career in the fall of 2000 as a volunteer assistant cross country coach at University of the Cumberlands (formerly Cumberland College) and was named assistant track coach at Whitley County High School in Williamsburg, Ky., in the spring of 2001. At WCHS, he worked with both Colonels' teams, helping guide six athletes to the KHSAA state championship meet.
In the fall of that same year, Greer returned to Cumberland as a graduate assistant for the cross country and track teams, coaching the jumpers, pole vaulters and throwers during the indoor and outdoor seasons. During his time at Cumberland, the Patriot men's team finished eighth in the NAIA national cross country meet and several Cumberland athletes won individual national titles and earned All-American status.
Greer left Cumberland again in the fall of 2003 to join the cross country and track coaching staff at Pulaski County High School in Somerset, Ky. He helped lead the Pulaski boys' and girls' teams to regional championships and both teams qualified for the state meet. Greer also helped lead the Pulaski boys' track and field team to a regional championship.
Greer, a native of Eubank, Ky., earned a B.S. in physical education from Cumberland College in Williamsburg, Ky., in 2000.
Entering the 2013-14 seasons, Greer has a noteworthy record of guiding his cross country and track athletes to honors and accolades during his tenure as head coach:
(Through 2012-13)
• Cross Country Conference Championships – 4 (Men in 2006 and Women in 2006, 2010 and 2011)
• Cross Country Conference Runners-Up – 1 (Men in 2011)
• NCAA All-Americans- 2 (2008 and 2010)
• Individual Conference Champions Cross - 5
• Individual Conference Champions Track - 18
• All Conference Cross Country - 37
• All Conference Track and Field - 32
• All Region (Cross Country) - 10
• All Region (Track & Field) - 28
• School Records Track- 88 (through 2010-11)
• All Freshmen (Cross Country) – 6
• Cross Country Runners of the Year/MVP – 5 (Hitt in 2006/2007 and Bishoff in 2008/2009/2010)
• National Qualifiers – 4 (Willard (2007) and Bishoff (2008, 2010 and 2011)
• Conference Freshmen of the Year – 2 (McClellion and Bishoff)
• Regional Track & Field Freshman of the Year – Lauren Sloan
• Regional Track & Field Athlete of the Year – 5 (Lauren Sloan 2009, 2010 and 2011, Durecelle Campbell 2011 and Will Byars 2011)

I use Apple's Mail App as my primary mail client on both my personal and work mac's, and for both machines I have various RSS Feeds subscribed.
I use apple mail as an RSS Client for a couple of reasons,
1) I just like how it works
2) its not just one more application I have to have open.
Recently though, I have found that none of the 30 or so feeds I am subscribed to were pulling any new posts.
I found this Odd, espically I know that multiple of them update daily. I did a bit of digging around, and have found a simple terminal command to alter the refresh rate that Mail will check for feed updates.
The default time is 30 minutes, admin the preferences you can set it to manually, 30 minutes, hourly or daily.
I changed these around then back to 30 minutes, and waiting an hour, but still NO feeds were updating.
After a little more digging, I found a terminal command that you can specify and refresh rate.
Specify the Refresh rate in Terminal !
- Quit Mail
- Open Terminal – /Applications/Utilities/Terminal.app
- Type:
defaults write com.apple.mail RSSPollTime xx
** Replace the 'nn' with minutes, EG:
defaults write com.apple.mail RSSPollTime 20
- Open Mail
This worked for me, and within the next 20 mintues, I had all the posts that I was missing for the last week that I didn't get any.
Pretty lucky, as I was missing out some some pretty good stuff!

When you have a health problem, a doctor, nurse, or other health care provider may care for you, depending on your condition. The following list of health care professionals can help you understand the wide array of people called upon to render care. All providers of care should wear name tags that identify their role. You have the right to ask about the person's background if you are unclear about his or her role. This list is presented in alphabetical order.
Chiropractors practice a drug-free, hands-on approach to health care that includes diagnosis, and treatment of musculoskeletal problems using spinal manipulation and other techniques. Chiropractors have broad diagnostic skills and recommend therapeutic and rehabilitative exercises, as well as to provide nutritional, dietary, and lifestyle counseling. Chiropractors typically have an undergraduate degree followed by a 4-year Doctor of Chiropractic (DC) degree. Chiropractors must also be licensed by the state in which they practice.
Doctors of Medicine (MDs) have an undergraduate degree then complete four years of medical education at an accredited medical school. This is followed by a 3-7 year long residency program of supervised practice. Doctor's may go on to complete a fellowship of 1-3 years for more specialized training. Doctors are licensed to practice medicine after successfully completing a state licensing examination.
Emergency medical technicians (EMTs) complete a formal training program and require licensing by the state in which they provide care. EMTs provide immediate care in emergencies within offices, hospitals, emergency rooms, and emergency response teams.
Home health aides provide personal-care services and assistance with the activities of daily living such as getting dressed, preparing meals and light housekeeping. In some states, home health aides may be able to give medicine or check vital signs, but only under the direction of a nurse or other healthcare professional. Home health aides are not required to have specialized training.
Licensed practical nurses (LPNs) provide hands-on nursing care under the supervision of doctors or registered nurses. In some states, these nurses are known as licensed vocational nurses, or LVNs. LPNs must complete a state-approved training program, pass an exam and become licensed.
Medical assistants (MA) work in a doctor's office and do scheduling, prepare patients for exams, do some office procedures or tests, handle phone calls, and serve as a liaison between the health care provider and others. They may receive on the job training or other training.
Medical records personnel keep patients' records complete, accurate, up-to-date, and confidential. Medical records technicians may need training on diagnostic and other coding systems and may require certification.
Medical technologists perform laboratory tests to help doctors diagnose diseases, and determine their extent and possible causes. Medical or Lab technologists typically require a bachelor's or associate's degree and may need to be licensed or registered.
Nurse practitioners (NPs) are registered nurses with advanced degrees and training in diagnosis and treatment of illness. NPs may prescribe medications, administer physical exams, and counsel patients on how to stay healthy.
Nurse midwives, certified nurse-midwives, and certified midwives provide obstetrical and gynecological care. They offer prenatal and post-pregnancy care, attend births and care for women's gynecological needs throughout their lives. Nurse-midwives have RNs and training in midwifery. Other levels of midwife include certified professional midwife and certified midwife.

Can it be warn on the ankle?
- Asked by Stanley S from Berkeley
Nike+ FuelBand
Product No Longer Available
1 Answer from the Community
What a novel question! I just tried it out myself and found that my ankle is rather larger than my wrist, so it wouldn't close. Although I could add the spare links on and it probably would fit. That said, I don't think it was designed for use that way. The accelerometer is designed to track arm movements accurately, not leg movements. It would still capture data, but I don't think it would be accurate.
Way to think different though!

As part of the 2013 Aflac WorkForces Report, 64 respondents were employers based in Cleveland, and 147 of respondents were employees working in Cleveland; key findings are:
Thinking of my company's major medical/healthcare plans, we plan to implement the following in the coming year…
Which of the following benefits does your company offer?
Talent Attraction
58% of Cleveland employees say they are at least somewhat likely to accept a job offer with slightly lower compensation, but better benefits options.
82% of workers say a benefits package is at least somewhat important to their willingness to refer a friend to their organization.
Only 18% of workers in the Cleveland say they are extremely satisfied with their overall benefits package.
When employees are offered voluntary insurance they are much more likely to say their current benefits package meets their needs extremely/very well (60%), compared to those not offered voluntary benefits options (45%).
Employee Well-being
35% of workers say their current benefits package only meets their family's needs somewhat, and 7% say their benefits package does not meet their needs.
When asked if they feel fully protected by their current insurance coverage, 46% of employees in Boston say they only somewhat agree, and 19% say they strongly/completely disagree.
Four out of ten employees in Cleveland (41%) are at least somewhat-to-extremely likely to look for a new job in the next 12 months.
50% of employees say that improving their benefits package is one thing their employer could do to keep them in their job.
75% of employees agree that a well-communicated benefits program would make them less likely to leave their jobs.
77% of workers at least somewhat agree with the statement "I would be more informed about my benefit choices if I sat with an insurance consultant."
44% of workers say their HR department communicates extremely/very effectively about benefits choices offered by their employer.
71% of workers at least somewhat agree "I believe my employer will educate me about changes to my healthcare coverage as a result of the health care reform."
29% of employers named "having employees interested in applying for voluntary benefits options as a top challenge in offering voluntary benefits.
44% of workers would be at least somewhat likely to apply for voluntary benefits plans, if offered.
The 2013 Aflac WorkForces Report is the 3rd annual Aflac employee benefits study examining benefit trends and attitudes. The study, conducted by Research Now in January 2013, captures responses from 1,884 benefits decision-makers and 5,299 employees across the U.S. To learn more about the Aflac WorkForces Report, visit AflacWorkForcesReport.com

Just remember-if you're going to get on it, make sure it's pointed straight first." So said Tom Keiling, owner of the sinister all-black '67 Corvette you see here, just before I pulled away in his pride and joy.
Oh, I'd be getting on it alright. It's not like opportunities to flog Tri-Power 427 Sting Rays come along very often. Problem is, back in the '60s, the stylists may not have talked to the chassis engineers when they were designing the car. Unless you're willing to cut up the bodywork or install tubs, there's no way to fit very much rubber in the back of a midyear Vette. Three-deuce Rat power, well over 500 lb-ft of torque, and 225/70R15 tires is a recipe for tire spin. Standing on the throttle with the front wheels turned is a recipe for doing pirouettes, the kind that typically end with an impromptu meeting with guardrails, curbs and other immovable foreign objects.
My first turn behind the wheel came on some twisty country roads in the northwest corner of New Jersey. The manual steering of the big-motored Corvette feels remarkably accurate. The wafer thin steering wheel takes some getting used to, but there's plenty of feedback. The cornering was flat, too-the owner has done some chassis upgrades-but with 6-inch wide wheels and not a lot of rubber, you'd expect less.
Handling is fairly neutral, even with all that cast iron up front. He used Vette Brakes & Products Smart Struts to improve the rear suspension geometry and upgraded the front and rear sway bars to 1 1/8-inch and 3/4-inch (front and rear, respectively). Shocks are KYBs in the front and adjustable QA1s out back.
The big fun, aside from being seen in such a beautiful car, is shoving your foot to the firewall and having those three Holley carbs burst open. While the Tri-Power setups had a well-earned rep from the factory as being "triple trouble" because of their temperamental vacuum-operated secondary carb operation, Keiling long ago converted it to full manual linkage. Now when those end carbs kick in, the response is immediate, precise and bordering on violent. Your head snaps back and the car explodes forward with the ferocity of a hit of nitrous.
Keiling bought the car back in 1984, and even though it had a dead small-block in it, he still paid $7,500. It was an original big-block car and he was determined to bring it back to its former glory-and beyond. He procured a 427 block and crank from a speed shop and spent the winter months building himself an engine (displacement is now 439 ci). As this was the mid-'80s, fuel quality was far worse than it is now and he went conservative on the compression ratio (9.5:1). The heads used were ported 990 casts; and the valves open and close via a Jones solid flat-tappet cam (.562 lift intake, .594 exhaust).
Next up was finding the correct carburetors and '67 Tri-Power intake manifold (which was taller than the '68-69 version because of hood clearance issues). Headers are Blackjack 1 7/8-inch pieces, which have been Jet Hot coated and exhale into 2.5-inch Flowmasters (there is no crossover). He had an X-crossover installed, but because of the crossmember in the Corvette, it was mounted too far from the engine. The car slowed significantly in the quarter-mile. Once he replaced the X, the speed picked right back up.
By the spring of '85, the car was mobile, but he and his wife, Sherry, continued going through the car, replacing various suspension bits, then the carpeting and seats. Finally, they stripped the paint and did the bodywork. The car was painted at Book Buick (RIP), which is where Keiling was working at the time as the service manager.
After that, Tom kept tweaking the car to improve its performance. He swapped out the original M-21 4-speed and 4.11 gears for a Richmond five-speed and 3.08s. The ultra-low first gear in the five-speed more than makes up for the swap from 4.11s to 3.08s and fifth gear is direct (1:1), not overdriven.
"The best thing I did was to install the five-speed," Keiling insists. "To drive on the highways with the Muncie and 4.11s, you were turning 4000 rpm to keep up with traffic. Now 70 mph is 2,800 rpm."

The Eisenhower team has an examination room in between the men's and women's locker rooms at the state-of-the-art Indian Wells Tennis Garden facility."We get to meet the trainers each year, and often they are the same from year to year," shares Dr. St. Pierre."Our consistent presence helps build confidence and security for the players. They like seeing the same faces and knowing they are receiving expert treatment — because if they get injured, it can affect their livelihood."
Over the event's two-week run, the physicians see and treat a myriad of injuries and illnesses."The tennis athlete in general isincredibly conditioned. Still, they are susceptible to overuse injuries," explains Dr. St. Pierre, noting that they can provide injections for players who are suffering from these types injuries.
"We do injections into areas that surround joints or tendons," explains Dr. St. Pierre."There are certain areas that we can inject with a local anesthetic or cortisone without putting the athlete at risk." Last year, a player was able to play for several more rounds because of injections provided by Dr. St. Pierre."It allowed him to practice and play," shares Dr. St. Pierre,"and he ended up upsetting a higher ranked player."
The physicians also used a new procedure to treat a player with an Achilles heal injury."We used platelet rich plasma to encourage healing," relates Dr. St. Pierre."Platelet rich plasma has been used successfully on a number of professional athletes. It is a process where we draw blood from a player, and spin it in a centrifuge to separate the platelets from the red and white blood cells. Platelets are usually known for clotting, but also within platelets are a lot of growth factors which are helpful for healing soft tissues,"Dr. St. Pierre explains.
The physicians also treat a wide variety of medical illnesses during the event. "These athletes are traveling regularly and going from country to country. They often have bacterial or viral illnesses they're trying to play through, so we help them with antibiotics and different treatments," says Dr. St. Pierre."One player from last year's tour had a serious kidney ailment. We were able to get MRI [magnetic resonance imaging] scans and intricate lab studies to make sure they were safe and not going to injure themselves in the heat."
Dr. St. Pierre is excited to have the Eisenhower George and Julia Argyros Health Center just a mile from the tennis garden this year."We have offices there now, so we have the ability to get players right across the street for X-rays, lab testing, MRIs or anything they need," smiles St. Pierre.

A true big-mountain freeride ski combines the most aggressive features of powder skis and race skis. This ski has to be able to put in a three-turn line down a 2000-foot face while maintaining plenty of flotation in powder and enough versatility to handle a wide range of conditions, because things aren't always light and fluffy when you want them to be. In short, this ski must be able to handle extremely high speeds in any snow conditions without even a hint of complaint.
Ideally, this ski will be used after a three-foot dump, but in reality you should be able to ski anything the mountain throws your way.
This ski will fall somewhere between the traditional camber of an all-mountain ski and the full rocker of a powder ski.
Turn Type:
Think long and straight. You want to be able to really open it up without this ski getting all squirrely on you.
