2015 Workshop Descriptions

This is for persons who have known what they call a mystical experience to come and share their experience. These sharings will be be grounded in Quaker meeting for worship. Those who seek such an experience or wonder how to name their experiences are also invited.
This workshop will explore the role of boycott as a practice of Quaker faith in action, starting with an exploration of boycott as used by historical Quakers including John Woolman and working through to discussions of contemporary Quaker efforts to boycott settlement products profiting from the Israeli occupation.
We'll explore Quaker involvement in prisons from 1790 to the present day. How responsible are we for the "penitentiary experiment?" What are the differences between reform and fundamental change of a broken system? What are we called to do in an era of mass incarceration and the New Jim Crow?
The apostle Paul's quotes often resonate for Friends despite the dissonance we feel toward the Paul described by Christian tradition. As a community of learners, we will re-consider Paul's Letter to the Romans, listen for its meaning for us today, and support each other to integrate our wider Gathering experiences.
Shift thinking about individual pieces of the global crises to understand the wholeness of the Sustainability Spectrum. Energy, water, food, population, money and economics, world resources, and poverty all interact in profound ways. Come learn how Seeking Wholeness (including Spirit) can solve the greatest challenge of our time.
Workshop leaders will engage Friends in discussions to further develop the Shared Security platform, a tool that can be used to articulate a more constructive and peaceful future approach for the US in the world.
Strong and shy singers are welcome to join this circle of f/Friends singing rounds, sacred chants, spirituals, peace songs, hymns, and fun songs. We will sing together to energize our bodies and nurture our souls, with music that affirms our diversity, reflects our beauty, and celebrates our unity.
Individuals and meetings embody a dynamic balance among four aspects of spirituality—mystery, activism, belief, and community—which change with experience. Participants will assess their "spiritual fitness" profile and revitalize their individual spiritual practices, enhancing growth in awareness and faithfulness.
"Every movement begins with the telling of an untold story." Uncover stories that reinforce white dominance and tell stories that reveal pathways toward a future of equality. Draw from our spiritual roots to examine what gets us stuck, and learn tools to tell a story that can interrupt racism.
People of faith are called to work with our neighbors to foster a spiritually fulfilling, socially just, and ecologically sustainable human presence on our planet. This workshop will provide ideas and tools on how to face our global challenges through local Transition Town Movement organizing.

Is bad for the bank account.
I was doing so well resisting these perfect circles until I saw them popping up on blogs. After seeing that perfect green for the third time I had it in my cart and ordered before my brain caught up to the hand controlling the mouse. Luckily these did not disappoint…they are perfect. You can find them here or here.
I love looking at new blog posts in the actual blog vs a reader. But I love my google reader. Luckily I just learned pretty much the best thing ever since butter in a tub (ok maybe not but still)… if you go to your google reader, hit settings in the upper right corner—>reader settings--->goodies---> put reader in a bookmark, and drag that little box that says "next" to your bookmark toolbar….you can hit that next button and it will take you from blog to blog in your reader. So you see the new posts on the actual blogs. Its so fun…and when you get to the end of your reader you'll see that page in the picture up there telling you it's the end. Its awesome.
Last but not least, I had to show you this amazing quilt Amber made with the Kaleidoscope pattern to auction off for the benefit of this family. You'll be able to find the auction details on Amber's site soon.

SPRINGFIELD — Two hundred days without her father suddenly ended Monday.
Gathered for a schoolwide assembly, McKenzie Terry was sitting near the window in the back of the Everitt Middle School cafeteria when the announcer called her name. The 14-year-old was wearing a blue and white T-shirt that read "Everitt Volleyball, keep calm and play on," but she held a nervous smile as she walked in front of all the students to receive her award.
Or, at least, she thought it was an award.

GALLERY: More photos from Monday's surprise visit »
School officials had orchestrated the meeting to reunite McKenzie Terry with her father, U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Jonathan Terry, who returned home after serving about 200 days in Afghanistan.
"I'm really excited right now to see my daughter," U.S. Air Force Lt. Col. Jonathan Terry said while standing in a hallway, waiting to walk in the cafeteria and surprise McKenzie Terry.
As soon as McKenzie Terry stood in the front of the cafeteria, her father walked out of a room behind her. The eighth-grader covered her face with her hands and walked immediately, sobbing, into his arms.
"I had no clue," McKenzie Terry said. "And then, I turned around and he was right there.
"It was hard. It felt weird with him still not being there," she added. Seeing him again, she said, it became clear "he's finally home."
Jonathan Terry, a deputy senior contracting official at Afghanistan CENTCOM Joint Theater Support, said it was his second time serving in Afghanistan. The first service was for 220 days; he left for Afghanistan for the second time in March.
"It's hard being away from them," Jonathan Terry said. "Fortunately, I feel very blessed to have a great wife and great kids."
Although he'll never get used to being away from his family, he said he regularly communicated with them while serving overseas.
"Whether it's via email or whether another mechanism … I got a chance to talk with them," Jonathan Terry said. "They were very supportive the entire time."
Earlier Monday, Jonathan Terry surprised his 8-year-old son, Chase Terry, and 10-year-old daughter, Jadyn Terry, both students at Tyndall Elementary, which had set up a reunion for them.
Chase was at physical education class when he spotted his father on the other side of the field and ran towards him.
"I had nothing to say," Chase said.
It was the fastest he has ever run, his father said.
Jadyn had expected to greet only her mother when she visited Jadyn's class. But soon after her mother entered, her father came in, too.
"I was so happy," she said, "but I just had mixed emotions."

Reports identify body in bayou as missing teen's

Update: Both KTRK and KHOU reported that the remains have been identified as missing teen Eric Cabrera.
Previous report:
Police believe a male's body found in northwest Houston Tuesday morning is a teen missing since Friday, when powerful storms swept a truck into White Oak Bayou.
Initial reports indicated two teens had been swept away, but the Harris County Sheriff's Office said a witness to the accident now doubts seeing a female at the scene.
The search has been suspended, the HCSO said in a press release.
A person riding a bicycle called 911 at 10:23 a.m. today and reported seeing a body in the 4600 block of West Tidwell, officials said.
"We believe this may be Eric Cabrera," said HPD Sgt. Brian Harris. "The distinctive tattoos certainly tell a tale."
Harris said he cannot yet be certain of the identity of the body, but based on the tattoos and the spot along the bayou where the body was found, about 2.5 miles from the crash site, he asked the family of the missing 18-year-old to come to the scene.
When asked to identify the body, family member Hugo Salas said he can't be sure.
"I hope it's not," Salas said.
Police estimate that at the peak of the storm, the bayou's current was moving at about 35 mph, but the body was found caught on a drainage pipe so it may not have moved far. Only as the water dropped did it become visible, officials said.
The witness who reported the body, 43-year-old James McClain, said he had just gotten off of work from a nearby Jack in the Box and was riding his bike over a bridge on his way home.
He said he looked down and spotted what appeared to be the body of a man, but he couldn't identify any other characteristics. He said it was disturbing to see the body.
"It messed my stomach up," McClain said.
He said he called 911 and then called his mother, who came out to the scene to be with him.
The original witness at the scene of Friday's wreck said he saw a male and a female hanging on to the edge of a truck in the bayou. He said he ran to get a chain to pull them out and when he got back, they were gone.
No family ever came forward to report the female missing.

'Breaking Upwards' explores a young, real-life New York couple who, fours years in and battling codependency, decide to intricately strategize their own break up. Based on an actual experiment devised by director/actor Daryl Wein and actress Zoe Lister-Jones, the film loosely interprets a year in their lives exploring alternatives to monogamy, and the madness that ensues. An uncensored look at young love, lust, and the pangs of codependency, 'Breaking Upwards' follows its characters as they navigate each others' emotions across the city they love. It begs the question: is it ever possible to grow apart together?

NUUN the truly portable electrolyte source. Every athlete knows the importance of hydration yet even if we set off on a long ride with two bottles we end up stopping at petrol stations and buying coke or sugar filled sports drinks or worse you fill your bottle with water and don't drink it when it gets warm and unpalatable. Flavouring water encourages you to drink by up to 40% more compared to water alone. Nuuns small lightweight and waterproof tube holds 12 quickly dissolvable tablets that provide you with a fresh tasting sugar free electrolyte drink. Electrolytes are salts that conduct electricity and are found in the body fluid, tissue, and blood.
Examples are calcium, magnesium, sodium, and potassium. Sodium (Na+) is concentrated in the extracellular fluid (ECF) and potassium (K+) is concentrated in the intracellular fluid (ICF). Proper balance is essential for muscle coordination, heart function, fluid absorption and excretion, nerve function, and concentration. To gain a full competitive edge you need to be topped up with the right stuff.

Real Madrid v Manchester United will show strengths of Premier League and La Liga, says Guillem Balague
Is the Premier League better than La Liga?Back to story
Comments (30)
Fernando Vega (Real Madrid fan) says...
I think Real is a little bit stronger than ManU, however, there is no doubt about EPL is stronger than La Liga. As you can see every weekend for the last 8-9 years, RM and Barcelona only have problems when they struggle to each other. Even for Real fans like me, the spanish tournament is becoming very boring. In my opinion, in EPL every team is able to defeat the best squads. Regards from Madrid!
Posted 17:01 11th February 2013
Kevin Powell (Barcelona fan) says...
To 'Jack Calms (Arsenal fan)', your argument explaining why EPL is better in using Chelsea as an example is ludicrous. Yes they won, but even the cynics would tell you it was a very lucky outcome given the circumstances and as holders, they couldn't even make it out the group stage. So what does that tell you??
Posted 16:42 11th February 2013
James Frost (Newcastle United fan) says...
In fact, Spanish teams have won the majority of matches recently. Real v Tottenham, Real v City, Barca v Man U, Barca v Arsenal, Atletico Madrid V Chelsea, Athletic Bilbao v Man U.
Posted 16:15 11th February 2013
Chris Webber (Real Madrid fan) says...
Jack Calms did you really just say that? Did you watch the chelsea barca match? They didnt deserve to win. How about Athletic Bilbao beating Manchester United? It depends on the match. Dont use one match as a basis for a wrong arguement.
Posted 16:11 11th February 2013
Rob Shiers (Portsmouth fan) says...
Although La Liga has the 2 best teams in the world and the 3 best players (Iniesta being 3rd), the EPL has more strength in depth. Im pretty sure that the mid and lower league teams in the PL could beat those in La Liga quite comfortably overall. Also, the other main difference in my opinion is that PL teams are better organised in defence whereas nearly every Spanish team can attack well but many are weak in defence.
Posted 15:16 11th February 2013
David P (Aston Villa fan) says...
I dont watch enough of La Liga to judge but I think we vastly over-rate the premier league. I am a Villa fan and we have 2 months between wins and yet are out of the relagation zone that shows how bad the bottom 5 are in the prem. The premership should go down to 18 teams and with fewer fixtures we wont have to debate the need for a winter break as there will over the whole season be no fixture congestions and maybe allow big teams to take cups such as the league, fa and europa cup more seriously
Posted 15:14 11th February 2013
Cexar Stone (Arsenal fan) says...
Chealse(top team in England) beat Barca by defending 90 minutes, as Atletic Bilbao(second level team) beat Manchester United with attacking football my dear Jack Calms, so there goes to the drain your argument of the Premier league is better than la liga. And I don't think Manchester will play attacking football against Real Madrid

Luke Millar (Arsenal fan) says...
Hi Guillem, although I agree that Madrid are Barcelona are better teams, and have the two best players in the world, I feel that their dominance is what stops La Liga being better than The Premiership. With The Premiership being so unpredictable and playing at such an entertainingly high tempo I don't really how La Liga seems to get all the plaudits from FIFA. La Liga is technically sublime but I find my interest wavering in and out of games because of how tactical it is, it takes a lot of time for something substantial to happen. It's taken years for another team (Athletico) to even legitimately join the title race, and even then they're a long way off Barca. Surely a league should be looked at like a team, better to have 4/5 players who can compete than have a team where 2 players outshine the rest of the team entirely. I know you get a lot of these but i was wondering what your thoughts on this were?

Jack Calms (Arsenal fan) says...
Sorry but the EPL is a tougher overall league than La Liga . In La Liga no doubt you have the 2 best teams in the World. But as we saw last year a 5th side Chelsea beat Barca and i belive this is because the passion is alot better in the EPL and it is this factor that makes the EPL better in my eyes.

Is Manchester United really counter attacking only TEAM?? seriously? You must be joking Guillem

Actually, if you get sacked over here, you are deemed to have "made yourself unemployed" and are therefore not entitled to any benefits for about 6-8 weeks, I believe.
Suppose it depends on the circumstances but I know some people here who've wanted to quit but made a balls up instead to get fired.

The healthcare industry is rapidly changing and needs leaders with both the technical knowledge and management skills to move it forward. Gonzaga's MBA in Healthcare Management (MBA/HCM) program is designed to train administrators to manage the businesses that produce and deliver healthcare services. We are committed to developing innovative and ethical leaders with the ability to think critically and creatively about the problems facing healthcare today.
Gonzaga's MBA/HCM brings together working professionals from across the healthcare industry to discuss, analyze, and evaluate the business of healthcare management. Past students have come from a number of professional backgrounds including hospital administration, nursing, general practice, and pharmacy. Comprised of approximately 50% traditional MBA courses and 50% healthcare-specific courses, the program equips its graduates with the knowledge and insight to add value to the organizations they serve.
In recognition of the complex schedules healthcare professionals face, Gonzaga's MBA in Healthcare Management program is delivered in a hybrid model which includes courses with online and weekend components. Click here to read the 2011 press release about Gonzaga's MBA in Healthcare Management.
Gonzaga's MBA in Healthcare Management program is designed to accommodate the complex schedules of working professionals in the healthcare industry.
Each course is delivered 50% online and 50% in the classroom. To complete the classroom portion, students come to campus two weekends per semester.
Students in the Spokane area have the option of taking traditional MBA courses on campus in the evenings. Commuter students can take traditional MBA classes in the hybrid format.
Courses are offered on a two-year rotating basis. Students may elect to complete the program in 2-4 years, and work with a personal advisor to meet completion time goals while maintaining a balanced schedule.
The MBA in Healthcare Management curriculum was designed under the guidance of a healthcare task force, comprised of healthcare executives from the Inland Northwest. With the help of this task force, the school of business developed a curriculum that provides students with a well-rounded business education, while allowing them the ability to tailor the program based on personal and professional goals. Click here to view an MBA in Healthcare Management Course Descriptions Sheet.
Gonzaga's MBA/HCM program is comprised of half traditional MBA classes and half healthcare specific classes.
Some healthcare-specific courses include: Healthcare Economics, Management of Medical Groups, Healthcare Ethics, Healthcare Law, Management of Healthcare Finance, and Healthcare Information Systems.
Students can take nearly a third of their course work as electives, taking classes such as Healthcare Delivery Systems, Current Issues in Healthcare Management, Strategic Planning, and Community Health Promotion.
All courses are taught by either tenure or tenure-track faculty from the Gonzaga School of Business or professionally qualified adjuncts. Professors are highly accessible to students.
Faculty members include: Nancy Chase, Ph.D., Professor of Management Information Systems; Vickie Williams, J.D., School of Law, Professor and Associate Dean; Brian Steverson, Ph.D., Professor of Business Ethics; Mirjeta Beqiri, Ph.D., Professor of Operations Management; Erica Johnson, Ph.D., Professor of Economics. Faculty members are active in healthcare research and many are active in professional consulting.
Past adjunct professors have included: Steven Duvoisin, CEO, Duvoisin & Associates Healthcare Business Services; Dan Hiebert, Chief Reimbursement Officer, Inland Imaging; Charles Hough, MD, MBA, Physician, Rockwood Clinic; Garman Lutz, past President and CEO of Deaconess Medical Center.
Below are the guidelines for admission. If you have any questions regarding the application process, please feel free to contact Stacey Chatman, Assistant Director for Admissions, at email@example.com.
All applicants are evaluated based on the documents submitted during the application process, as outlined here.
An additional requirement for the MBA in Healthcare Management program is that all applicants must have a minimum of 2 years of professional experience with a minimum of 6 months in the healthcare industry. Those that do not have healthcare-related work experience may be admitted if they are completing a concurrent internship.
Please note: The GMAT exam is waived for applicants who hold a professional doctoral degree, such as MD, DDS, or PhD.
"I began my career as a neonatal nurse in 1997. I quickly developed not only my passion to provide care to patients, but also to learn more about how the healthcare field works from a business perspective. As I began to develop my leadership skills I found quickly the business perspective was even more essential. I began to research my options for Master's programs and quickly found Gonzaga's program was the perfect fit. The MBA in Healthcare Management Gonzaga offers has given me the opportunity to take business principles and apply them to the world I work in every day. I have had an opportunity to not only learn theory, but also learn from some of the top healthcare leaders in our community."
Tamara Powers
MBA/HCM Alumnus 2012

If you are undergoing withdrawal symptoms between seasons of the popular Masterpiece Classic series "Downton Abbey," you might enjoy a visit to The Market Place at the Big Store.
Historic DeFuniak Springs sets the atmosphere for the antiques, artisan crafts and collectibles shop.
"The Big Store is a historical building that Mr. Dennis Ray owns," said Pam Hutchins. "Tom (Hutchins) and I — we own the Hotel DeFuniak — decided we would lease two-thirds of this building."
The hoteliers opened their antique shop in August, although Dennis and Brenda Ray have operated their antique business for several years.
Regardless of which side you shop, you'll find treasures new and old. Beautiful, stately antique beds can be found alongside modern trinkets and artisan wares. A modern glass bottle chandelier could add whimsy to a room, or an antique crystal counterpart would create a dining room fit for a countess luncheon.
"It's open enough, and people won't get claustrophobic and overwhelmed," Hutchins added about the displays. "And there's something interesting in every corner."
LOCATION: 782 Baldwin Ave., DeFuniak Springs, with a view of the lake
HOURS: 10 a.m. to 5 p.m., Tuesdays through Saturdays
WEBSITE: www.hoteldefuniak.com
Another fun place to shop is Betsy & Sisters Gifts, which opened in February.
"We've had this dream for so long to own our own store," said Betsy Austin, who had managed several retail businesses in the area.
Some shoppers may remember the small Christian store that she and her sister owned in 1998.
"We started it (the previous business) with a credit card, and we made a lot of mistakes," Austin said. Learning from that experience has helped Betsy, Jeannie Findley and Melanie Lewis bring their new gift shop to the area.
Betsy & Sisters Gifts gives shoppers a selection of collectible figurines, toys, totes, décor, military and university gift ideas, Christian-based selections and even chocolates.
"We want to have things that bring customers fun," Austin added. That fun begins with the warm greetings from the owners and the sense that everyone who enters Betsy & Sisters Gifts will feel welcome.
"We're really happy to be (running the shop) and hope to be what customers want us to be," she said.
LOCATION: 14091-B Emerald Coast Parkway, Destin, near Bealls

I only saw Metallica once about 17 years ago and never was more appalled at the way they treat their audience, as in cutting off sales of beer and then spewing mouthfuls of it and pitchers of it onto their gleefull front row folks and telling the audience in no uncertain terms that they were nothing but wormfood and not worthy of the honor of watching them perform. I dislike them intensely as humans but a few of their songs merit some listening to. Lars Ulrich's claim that music downloading was stealing from him personally makes me like the idea more and more and I am dead set against stealing. I am sure the video is cute with legos, but I just despise the band and find them a waste of good oxygen, food and everything else they consume. :steps off soapbox:

DES MOINES, Iowa – It wasn't easy for Tony Ramos and Derek St. John.
It was probably just as tough for University of Iowa fans to watch, but both produced gutsy victories in gut-wrenching performances.
Ramos and St. John forged their way to the finals with extended overtime wins in Friday night's semifinals of the NCAA Division I Wrestling Championships at Wells Fargo Arena. They were the lone semifinalists and two of four All-Americans for the Hawkeyes, who were in fourth place in the team race, heading into the third and final day.
Tony Ramos punched his ticket first, battling back from a 4-1 deficit to Wisconsin's Tyler Graf to score a takedown in the second sudden victory overtime period for a 6-4 win at 133.
St. John rode Oklahoma State's Alex Dieringer for a tiebreaker period and then used an escape in the following 30-second frame for a 3-2 win in tiebreaker-2, reaching the 157-pound championship for the second-straight year.
"Everything is very hard for us in this tournament," Iowa coach Tom Brands said. "You can see the strategy come out of some of these teams where they want to win close matches and they're going to keep it close to win. They want it to go long and we have to eek everything out."
Emotions flowed for Ramos. He spotted his family, friends, his high school wrestling coach and a large Hawkeye crowd in the stands. Ramos also had to handle the shock of watching 125-pounder Matt McDonough eliminated from the tournament. He channeled it into his bout.
"It was exciting," Ramos said. "I had to stay focused through that still. I gave the fans something to cheer about. We have a finalist now."
Graff looked in control early in the second after a first period takedown and then a quick reversal put him up three. Ramos was still confident, chipping away at the lead with escapes in each period to pull within one early in the third. He wasn't worried.
"He had a takedown," said Ramos, noting that he could sense and somewhat fed off the crowd's cheers, especially to start the third period. "So? If you want to beat me you got to take me out two or three times, maybe four or five because I'm going to keep on coming."
Ramos did, forcing the action and a second stall call in the final minute that led to overtime. In the first sudden victory, Ramos continued to pressure Graff, despite no score. The pair rode each other in the first tiebreaker.
In the second sudden victory, Ramos aggressiveness created Graff to shoot and Ramos quickly spun around for the winning move. He praised his workout partners for being fight through for a takedown.
"So I knew I had to go and to go and I got the takedown," Ramos said. "The pressure was on him. I knew I might get hit again, so I was ready for him to come and had to get my takedown."
Ramos, who was third, last year losing in the semifinals, cleared one hurdle, and faces another. He will take on Ohio State's top-seeded Logan Stieber for the championship. Stieber (25-0) has beaten Ramos (31-1) all four times they faced in college, including a 3-1 sudden victory win for the Big Ten Championship.
"See you guys back here Saturday night," Ramos said. "Hard wrestling. No game plan. Everyone has a game plan and a strategy. You got to go out there and you got to fight, fight and keep on fighting. That's how I'm going to win."
St. John and Dieringer exchanged escapes in regulation and both added escapes in the first tiebreaker. St. John got close to nabbing low singles in the third period and in overtime, but Dieringer kicked away. He felt like he chased his opponent, but couldn't secure points.
"I never really finished a takedown to win that match," St. John said. "I needed to get a takedown to get an exclamation point on that match instead of going to the second overtime or fourth overtime, whatever it was."
A strong ride powered St. John past Dieringer. In the second tiebreaker, St. John accrued 32 seconds of riding time, assuring him of riding time advantage, which could be a decisive factor in tiebreaker-2. It forced Dieringer to let him up for the escape to attempt a takedown, since a rideout wouldn't work.
Letting up was not an option.
"No, I came down on his ankle a couple of times, could have easily kicked out, but just keep crawling back up the leg and getting to your tight waist rides," St. John said, "and just stayed heavy on him."
St. John improved his third-place finish at the Big Ten. He also is less than a month removed from his first loss of the season. He turned things around at the right time.
"You know, it's not like I haven't lost before," St. John said. "It's no different. You bounce back, like any other time in your career. There's even more of a reason to bounce back, per se, going into the biggest tournament of the year. It's do or die. If you don't do it, you're not going to be on top of the podium, essentially."
St. John (30-2) faces Northwestern's Jason Welch (34-1) in the finals. He is 5-0 against Welch, who won the Big Ten title March 10. They have not met yet this season. St. John won't change his approach from a year ago, when he finished second to Kyle Dake, who reached the 165-pound final and is trying to become the third four-time NCAA Division I champion.
"I'm assuming there is going to be more energy and more of an exclamation point than any other times we have met," St. John said. "He's going to be ready to go and fired up. It's for a national title."
The finalists will make it hard to soothe the sting of McDonough being knocked out of the tournament in the round of 12. McDonough entered the tournament, attempting to become the fourth four-time NCAA finalist and the seventh three-time national champion in program history. He lost an overtime match to Cornell's Nahshon Garrett, 4-2, in the quarterfinals and then fell to North Dakota State's Trent Sprenkle, 3-1, in sudden victory.
McDonough finished with a 122-9 record with two national and two Big Ten titles.
"He's been a staple for this program," Brands said. "He's very reliable, and it's not the way to go out. We're going to have to help him over that. You don't just abandon him."
McDonough sat alone in a tunnel of WFA, watching a results screen after the semifinals concluded. Brands requested one thing and gave McDonough space after his second loss. Brands said mental and physical mending will be needed.
"I told him I'd leave him alone if he'd look at me," Brands said. "He looked at me and I walked away."
The Hawkeyes had a tough day overall. Iowa won just two of its six quarterfinal bouts and had two wrestlers eliminated in the first session, including heavyweight Bobby Telford, who defaulted from the tournament due to a knee injury suffered in his second-round win. Four All-Americans is the lowest total for the Hawkeyes, who had three in 2007, which was Brands' first year as head coach.
Mike Evans (174) and Ethen Lofthouse (184) also earned All-American honors for the Hawkeyes. Both won two consolation matches after dropping quarterfinals.
"Two wins on the backside to put them in the top six, going for third still," Brands said. "They're climbing the awards stand. "
Penn State pulled away in the team standings. The Nittany Lions have 114 ½ points with five finalists. Oklahoma State is second with 94 and finalists in 149-pounder Jordan Oliver and Chris Perry (174).
Heavyweight Tony Nelson is in the finals for Minnesota, which is third with 86 points.

'Babalu' Sobral says Bellator's tournaments are tougher than one-nighters - MMA Fighting
"When you go to war for one battle its one thing," said Sobral. "But when you stay in war for a second war, that's what makes the difference. ... In a tournament, in one night, you you can throw all yourself into one night. Back in the days in the [one-night] tournament, after the fight, you just put ice on your face and your hands, then you go out and fight again."
So while fighting a one-night tournament is a grind in and of itself, once you're done, you can take a break from training for awhile. Bellator's tourneys offer no such respite.
"You have to be healthy for the next time," he said. "You have to go to the gym and train again. You can't go home and rest. You have to get up and train."
Despite his wealth of experience, "Babalu" won't go so far as to call himself the favorite in a tournament which includes the likes of "King Mo" Lawal and Seth Petruzelli.
"In this kind of thing, there isn't such a thing as a favorite," Sobral said. "You just have to be more intelligent and [being] lucky counts too. You have to step out of the ring without getting any injuries. It's sometimes luck. Even if you win."
Sobral's been at this game since 1997. Officially, he has 46 fights under his belt. But don't ask him to set a timetable on how much longer he wants to fight.
"I'll fight until my body can't handle it," Sobral said. "To be 15 years fighting, you get hurt, you get injuries. Until I can't move, I'm moving forward. My brain's good. I still know my wife's number."

Sherwin-Williams is proud to announce the winners of our first annual student design contest. We want to extend our sincere appreciation and praise to all 355 students who participated. With so many excellent submissions, it was difficult to pick just six winners..
The contest rules required that students use a defined palette of up to seven Sherwin-Williams colors of their choice and tell us about their project, including how color was integral to the design solution. In addition, students were to submit up to three supporting design files..
The two first place winners receive a $2,500 cash prize, the two second place winners receive $1,000 and the two third place winners recieve $500. In addition, the two first place winners will have their work featured in the 2011 edition of STIR magazine, and all winners will be featured on the Sherwin-Williams for Designers & Architects Facebook page.
Contest judge Jackie Jordan, director of color marketing, Sherwin-Williams, assessed the design submissions for great use of color first and foremost, followed by a well-articulated design concept and visuals that represented and supported the design concept.
First Place Winners
In the residential category: Congratulations to Courtney Lautenschlager from Iowa State University.
Her design concept: Located within Mies Van Der Rohe's Lakeshore Drive apartments in Chicago, Ill., this luxury condominium was designed with a primary triadic color scheme of red, blue and yellow with an accent of grey. The space is simple and refined, yet made complex by adding layers and harmony within the selected color palette. A centrally located spiral staircase ties the open floor plan together and creates a musical rhythm. The base of the stairs is accented in a bold teal (Splashy SW 6942) in order to make it a focus. Using this lively color helps ground the staircase within the condo and marks it as a reference point. Also, red (Heartthrob SW 6866) accents are dispersed through the space to add excitement and interest. A soft blue (Bubble SW 6770) was applied to the ceiling plane, inspired by the essence of the sky.
Since the condominium contains many large windows displaying Lake Michigan, the idea of bringing the outdoors into the space was essential. The sky blue ceiling encourages this concept. Yellow (Optimistic Yellow SW 6900 and Nugget SW 6697) and gray (Web Gray SW 7075 and Upward SW 6239) complete the color palette by creating a base of less intense hues. Since the public area, including living, dining and kitchen, is open, it allows a balance of both saturated and diluted colors. The primary triadic color scheme developed for this project was absolutely imperative to the design solution. The architecture and layout of the space is rather simple, but the selected color palette brings it to life and reflects the personality of its residents. (Accessories shown are from Crate & Barrel and West Elm.)
In the commercial category: Congratulations to Jessica N. Anderson from Valdosta State University.
Her design concept: Flora & Fauna is a luxury skin and beauty clinic located in Slade, Ky. The clinic strives to create a calming and relaxing environment where clients can escape their daily routines and feel their stress melt away. Flora & Fauna also focuses on incorporating sustainable materials into their interiors. A blend of sophisticated natural elements and clean, modern lines creates a soothing and peaceful environment. Large skylights, a couples massage room and a custom hydrotherapy room are just a few of the unique features that make this clinic stand out. An open and organic floor plan boasting large windows emphasizes the beautiful surrounding of rural Slade. The palette of Sherwin-Williams colors that grace the walls of Flora & Fauna include Great Green (SW 6430), Gratifying Green (SW 6435), Vast Sky (SW 6506) and Wool Skein (SW 6148). Sherwin-Williams high-quality pigments emphasize the clinic's luxury and high-end features.
Second Place Winners
In the residential category: Congratulations to Joanne N. Fields from Kansas State University.
Her design concept: Fields designed a high-end neoclassical residence for the fictitious Gray family. The challenge was to create a large, old English country home that was welcoming and comfortable, yet appropriately elegant to entertain important guests of the medical field, given Mr. Gray was a hospital administrator. Fields used an elegant and sophisticated color palette consisting of Greek Villa (SW 7551) Alpaca (SW 7022), Silvermist (SW 7621) and Ancestral Gold (SW 6407).
In the commercial category: Congratulations to John Botello from Texas Tech University.
His design concept: Botello submitted a design for a fictitious Asian Fusion restaurant in San Francisco, Calif., in which the concept was to be based on the opera "Madame Butterfly" by Giacomo Puccini. With the Japanese Magnolia tree as inspiration, Botello created a color palette using Chamois (SW 6131), Bravado Red (SW 6320), Fairfax Brown (SW 2886), Marshmallow (SW 7001), Birdseye Maple (SW 2834) and Beige (SW 6320).
Third Place Winners
In the residential category: Congratulations to Donivan Noble from Ohio University.
His design concept: Donivan designed a 2,300-square-foot Buenos Aires condo in downtown Alto Palermo for a fictitious family, using a color palette consisting of White Duck (SW 7010), Rockwood (SW 2812) Confident Yellow (SW 6694), Naval (SW 6244) and Glad Yellow (SW 6694).
In the commercial category Congratulations to Christine Hee Roh from the University of Nevada.
Her design concept: For a chocolate shop, Hee Roh was inspired by an episode of "I Love Lucy," in which Lucy is a worker in a chocolate factory. Hee Roh created a surreal design of movement involving gears and chocolate by combining a rich palette of dark, milk and white chocolate with the addition of raspberry via the following Sherwin-Williams colors: French Roast (SW 6069), Yam (SW 6643), Classic Ivory (SW 0051) and Radish (SW 6861).
Thanks again to all the students who participated and congratulations to the winners.

Actually I know someone from here that talking in the Genoa dialect and a Genoa accent with a French guy obviously talking in French understood each other perfectly

Meet Julia, a multi-talented West Cumbrian woman
Last updated at 21:00, Thursday, 17 May 2012
An award-winning author, publisher, editor and teacher – Julia Newsome is a multi-talented woman.
Julia, 62, who lives just outside Maryport with her husband and former foreign office diplomat, Sir Brian Donnelly, has just written her first full length novel.
Her historical novel has been published by Wigton based firm, Trifolium Books UK.
The Boy with Two Heads is a time-slip novel set in ancient Greece and present day Cumbria.
It sees teenager Suzanne, from Penrith, thrown back in time to ancient Greece after a motorbike accident on a school trip to Athens.
Her mind is transferred into the body of Olympian, Themis, in 432 BC, who has an accident at the same location in Athens but thousands of years in the past.
Julia says she drew inspiration from her experience of living in Greece for more than 20 years.
She moved there after getting a degree in drama at Manchester University and quickly came to see it as a second home.
She taught English in a Greek school and worked for the publisher Heinemann for its Greek market.
She says: "I went to do research on the theatres for a university project and fell in love with modern Greece.
"I've always been fascinated by what we still have from 5th century ancient Athens.
"This story grew out of my researching facets of that period that interest me.
"I used to teach English to Greek teenagers, so I also drew on their preoccupations and personalities.
"The ancient Olympics have many similarities with our modern games but many intriguing differences too."
The book, she says, is for ages 10 and over. It's probably more for those under 16 but if you like ancient Greece then you would enjoy it.
Julia met her husband, Sir Brian Donnelly, in Greece while he was working at the British embassy in Athens.
She travelled with him on several diplomatic roles, including those in the former Yugoslavia and in Zimbabwe, where Sir Brian was branded a spy by the state-owned media.
In Yugoslavia, where Slobodan Milosevic was facing civil war and NATO air strikes for crimes against humanity, Julia had to be evacuated three times from Belgrade amid fear of growing violence and the risk of bombing.
She says: "It was quite a chaotic time. There was an atmosphere which was quite sinister.
"For example, I sat at a restaurant table which had a bullet hole in the wall where someone had been assassinated."
Her time in Zimbabwe helped to inspire her award-winning book, Nelson's Dream, which is set in Africa.
It is one of several books written by Julia that helps people to learn English, whether they are foreign or have reading difficulties.
These books use a larger print that makes it easier to read but they also deal with hard-hitting, real life stories.
Nelson's Dream is told against the backdrop of AIDS and government corruption in Africa.
A Boy with Two Heads is her first attempt at full length novel and it has been two years in the making.
She chose to have it published by Cumbrian based firm Trifolium Books as owner and friend Connie Jensen specialises in printing historical novels.
Julia says: "Connie read it, liked it and asked whether I would like her to publish it."
Julia was born in Egypt in a private hospital in the middle of the River Nile.
She grew up in Hertfordshire, moved to North Stainmore at the age of 16 and went to Kirkby Stephen Grammar School.
She is a director of the Cumberland and Westmorland Herald; her great-grandfather Thomas Hodgson was the newspaper's founder in 1860.
Julia has a son, 32, and a daughter, 35, who both live in Athens.
She sings in the Seaton village choir and likes walking with her husband.
She loves to travel and regularly visits her beloved Greece.
A Boy with Two Heads is out now and can be bought from bookshops and online at www.amazon.co.uk.

Chip Kelly's high-octane offense really can work in the NFL – Well, it sure looked exciting and they did win 33-27, but 77 plays and 443 yards is hardly revolutionary. But keep in mind, two turnovers kept the Redskins off the field for the first six minutes of the games, in which they gained 152 yards. And after two more quick turnovers by the Redskins, the Eagles had run 32 plays for 169 yards by the end of the first quarter. That's flukey. And in the second half they ran just 24 plays for 121 yards, proving that you can run an offense as fast as you want, but you still have to run it well.
Couldn't have said it better myself, and Vick will not be able to stay healthy because he just refuses to slide when he runs. You just know someone is gonna line him up and take him out hard.
On the other hand I'm glad Eli doesn't get hurt, because even our porous defense can pick that bum off.
I agree with you G.R. Vick will be hurt soon. The Egrets are letting up thirty points a game but yet nobody talks about that. Nobody can ever count your Giants out. Four Superbowls and a two time MVP at the helm. The G-men always play their best football down the stretch. They will be there again with America's team at the end of the season. Take care bro.
I hope so, Eli needs to stop with the INT's and Wilson needs to start running with authority. Ain't that a shame about your favorite Barker...Sniff! Sniff! I am so upset...it looks like they tossed her majesty, Granny R. Clemente de Fartsmella...I am so upset over this I can't even find...sniff! Sniff!...the...sniff!! Sniff!...words to describe the....sniff!!! Sniiiifffffle!!!! enormity of my upsetedness....This is truly a sad day for the Yard.

In 1985 GM released one of its last major updates to the first-generation small-block Chevy, the Tuned Port Injection (TPI) system. It was the General's first foray into individual-runner and port-fuel-injection technology and a major step in the gradual climb out of the horsepower Dark Ages for the Corvette.
The TPI intake lived in the hearts of C4 Corvettes for seven years before the "Gen II" LT1 small-block replaced it in 1992. During that span, the Corvette and its mountainous low-rpm torque were king. The L98's 18-inch intake runners were tuned for producing maximum power at lower rpm, yielding as much as 250 hp and a whopping 340 lb-ft in the '90 and '91 models. But while the tuned runners produced gobs of power down low, their length and somewhat narrow diameter ended up starving the engine of air at around 4,500 rpm.
Compared with the broad powerband in today's LS3-powered Corvettes, the narrow power range of even a highly modified TPI engine-and the frequent shifts that result-can greatly reduce your chances of winning a close race, despite the abundance of available torque.
Over the years, there have been numerous efforts to improve upon the stock TPI intake. These include larger intake bases and runners, short-runner intake manifolds (similar to the LT1 intake) and, of course, the venerable John Lingenfelter-designed ACCEL SuperRam (above right). Compared with the stock TPI intake, it features a larger plenum and throttle body along with slightly shorter (approximately 15-inch) runners. The result is an intake that is still tuned to make lots of torque down low but can also breathe and make power beyond 4,500 rpm.
But much to the dismay of many a torque-loving Corvette owner, the SuperRam is no longer in production, and good copies are becoming more expensive and difficult to find. Additionally, the SuperRam was developed in a time when free-breathing aftermarket cylinders were not widely available. Lingenfelter created an excellent manifold for use with stock ported heads (which flow around 280 cfm), but with the cylinder-head technology of today delivering an easy 300 cfm of flow, a need arose for a manifold designed with these capabilities in mind. Edlbrock's Pro-Flo XT looks to have the potential to fill this niche.
The Pro-Flo XT (above and top left) was designed from the ground up, utilizing computational fluid dynamics and CAD technology. It features a 90mm inlet for a front-mounted LSX-style throttle body on a 190ci central intake plenum. The plenum feeds eight individual 5.5-inch-long intake runners, which taper down approximately 30 percent to the intake port. Edelbrock says its tests have shown that the Pro-Flo XT beats the company's previous single-plane-style Pro-Flo 2 EFI manifold across the board, picking up as much as 15-20 hp on some combinations.
It's no coincidence that this tunnel-ram-style intake looks very similar to the custom sheetmetal manifolds popular with serious racers. The medium-length runners are tuned to make power across the board and into the 6,500-rpm range, and their tapered design is intended to ram air into the combustion chambers for maximum power. The Pro-Flo XT is 9.05 inches high at the tallest point-the throttle body flange-making it taller than the SuperRam. With the low hoods of Corvettes, and the C4 in particular, this could be a major roadblock. We set out to determine what it would take to make this intake fit a fourth-gen Vette, and how it would perform against the mighty SuperRam.

Beats Music's extensive playlists and spot-on recommendations mean you'll never have to hunt for music.
Beats on-ear Bluetooth headphone has lot going for it, but it doesn't quite justify its lofty price tag.
While it's a bit overpriced, the Beats Powerbeats 2 Wireless is among the best wireless sports earphones.
The combination of the Pill XL's strong sound, excellent design and feature set make it a reasonable value despite its elevated price tag.
These Solo 2 may not win audiophile hearts and ears, but for its intended audience -- namely, folks who are looking for a fast, exciting headphone with lots of high-quality bass -- this is an excellent on-ear headphone.
While it'll cost you a hefty $380, the Beats Studio Wireless is an excellent wireless Bluetooth headphone.
The Beats Pill outperforms the Jawbone Jambox and has a couple of intriguing extra features, but the speaker is overpriced at $199.
We go hands-on with Beats' new premium music service, designed to appeal to people who want a more automated music listening experience.
This 23-inch all-in-one is built for entertainment, offering great speakers and a striking look. But the glossy, reflective display throws a wrench in the works.
They may not be a bargain at $300, but the new Beats Studio headphones are lighter and better-built, and sound significantly better than the original Beats Studio model.
