Richard Rodgers is in his seventh year on the Crusader coaching staff in 2011, and his sixth year as defensive coordinator. In his first five seasons as defensive coordinator, he has directed a unit which has developed into one of the top defenses in the Patriot League.
During the 2009 campaign, Rodgers helped lead the Crusaders to the Patriot League championship. In Holy Cross' six conference games during the 2009 season, Rodgers' defense ranked second in the Patriot League in scoring defense (21.8 points per game) and pass defense (211.7 yards per game). In addition, five Crusaders earned All-Patriot League honors on the defensive side of the ball in 2009, with four of them being first team selections. Holy Cross also had five defensive All-Patriot League selections in 2010, and had four players from the defense named all-conference in 2008.
In 2006, Rodgers' defense ranked second in the conference overall in scoring defense (21.4 points per game) and passing defense (176.0 yards per game). He was also instrumental in the development of cornerback Casey Gough, who was a three-time All-Patriot League selection from 2005-2007.
Rodgers came to the Crusaders from New Mexico State University, where he spent four years working with the secondary. During Rodgers' time at New Mexico State, the Aggies improved from 87th to 40th in the nation in total defense. New Mexico State totaled 45 interceptions during his four years as secondary coach, while lowering its passing yardage allowed during each of his final three seasons. Among the players he coached at New Mexico State was All-Sun Belt Conference cornerback Tony Lukins.
Previously, Rodgers spent four seasons at Portland State University, where he coached the cornerbacks and special teams, in addition to serving as the team's strength and conditioning coordinator. During the 2000 season, Rodgers helped lead Portland State to an overall record of 8-4 and a trip to the NCAA Division I-AA playoffs. He also coached two All-Big Sky Conference performers during his time with the Vikings.
Rodgers also spent two years as an assistant coach at San Jose State University, working with the secondary and special teams. In addition, Rodgers coached for the Scottish Claymores of NFL Europe in 1998, and was a coaching intern with the Oakland Raiders in 1996. He began his coaching career at Diablo Valley Community College.
Rodgers is an 1992 graduate of the University of California, where he was a two-time second team All Pacific-10 Conference selection from 1980-1984. He was the special teams captain for the Golden Bears for three seasons, and called "The Play" in the huddle to defeat Stanford in 1982. Rodgers was the second and fourth player to handle the ball on the famed five-lateral last play touchdown return. He also played professionally in both the Canadian Football League and the Arena Football League.
Rodgers has three children (Kayla, Richard and Christopher).

FedEx to open new facility at The Point
By DAVID E. MALLOY
SOUTH POINT, Ohio — FedEx Ground is building a new distribution center at a South Point industrial park to replace a facility it now has in Boyd County, Ky., a company spokesman confirmed Tuesday.
It was the first time the company verbally confirmed its plan to open a facility in The Point Industrial Park and that it would come at the expense of the Boyd County center in the Paul Coffey Industrial Park near Cannonsburg, Ky.
The new distribution center, now under construction and scheduled to be completed in June, will be approximately 75,000 square feet, according to FedEx Ground spokesman David Westrick.
About 110 jobs are expected at the new distribution center, said Jeremy Clay, director of The Point. The development of the industrial park is overseen by the Lawrence Economic Development Corporation.
"This is extremely positive," Bill Dingus, executive director at the development corporation, said Tuesday. "The ability to transport manufactured and assembled goods to other parts of the country will be very important to our overall economic health. We feel logistics and connecting our community to the nation is the key to our economic future."
The building is being erected by Scanell Properties, the largest builder of FedEx distribution centers, Clay said.
"There will be room for future growth in the new building," Westrick said.
The company spokesman declined to talk about specifics regarding jobs, including how many are now employed at the Boyd County center that will close.
Westrick said the new center will allow FedEx "to continue to meet and exceed customer demands in the region. When the new facility opens, positions will transfer from the existing station, and we will add to the workforce as necessary to support increased demand for service in the area.
"The site was chosen because of its ease of access to major highways, its proximity to customers' distribution centers and a strong local community workforce for recruiting employees," Westrick said.
The new building is part of a nationwide network expansion to boost daily package capacity and further enhance the speed and service capabilities of the FedEx Ground network, he said. Since 2005, the company has opened 11 new hubs featuring advance material-handling systems and expanded or relocated more than 500 local facilities, he said.

Wednesday, February 6, 2013
A Berkeley County principal is on leave from his job and faces a criminal domestic violence charge.
Shortly after 3 a.m. on Dec. 30 Hanahan Police received a call about an alleged incident at an apartment complex off Remount Road.
Police found the suspect, Sedgefield Intermediate Principal Clarence Hawkins, driving in his vehicle, and pulled him over at the intersection of Remount Road and Rivers Avenue, according to a HPD incident report.
A female told police that Hawkins, who she said was her recent ex-boyfriend, came to her apartment that night and knocked on her door.
She opened the blinds, recognized Hawkins, and opened the door. She asked what he was doing at her apartment at 3 a.m. Hawkins told her that he wanted his watch back, but she told Hawkins she did not have the watch, according to the report.
That's when Hawkins allegedly pushed open the door, shoved her in the chest, called her a choice word and proceeded into her apartment, according to the report. The victim said she started yelling for someone to call police.
After the victim called police Hawkins left the residence and left in his vehicle, the report said. He was pulled over and transported to the detention center on a charge of criminal domestic violence, according to the report.
Police noticed the contents of the victim's purse strewn about her floor. The victim said she did not want EMS treatment, but noted her chest was sore and she was shaken up, the report said.
The Berkeley County School District released the following statement: "As soon as the district learned of the alleged incident – reported off of school grounds and not during school hours – and in compliance with district policy, the employee was placed on administrative leave pending the outcome of the investigation.
"Please note that we may not disclose other specifics about the employee's employment as investigations regarding personnel matters are protected by privacy rights.
"Mr. Hawkins was not at school on the work day for employees on Jan. 2 and was placed on administrative leave on Thursday, Jan. 3."

I think it has a positive message; especially the end. Here are two people that are missing something in their lives and they find each other. The old man finally lets the little boy into his heart.

A high speed chase that began in North Wilksboro stretched over 30 miles and ended in State Road on Friday, resulting in the arrest of two suspects.
The vehicle was speeding toward Elkin, police say.
"We began pursuing Kenneth Herman Bennett of 8424 N.C. 268 West in Boomer on Boone Trail in the Cricket community about 4:30 p.m. due to a pending drug investigation," said Lt. Craig Dancy, who is in charge of the Wilkes County Sheriff's Office narcotics unit.
"Bennett was driving a two-door Buick. He pulled into the Cricket Baptist Church parking lot and turned to go back on Boone Trail and accelerated after law enforcement activated their lights," Lt. Dancy told The Tribune.
According to Lt. Dancy, the chase headed south toward North Wilkesboro. Bennett entered North Wilkesboro, Suncrest Orchard Road, N.C. 18 North, Mountain View Road, Rock Creek Road, Bethany Ford Road, White Plains Road, continued over to Traphill Road, and eventually stopped on U.S. 21.
"Bennett is charged with felony fleeing to allude, careless and reckless driving, speeding, and failure to stop with blue light and siren," said Lt. Dancy.
The pursuit ended at 5:45 p.m. after a North Carolina Highway Patrol officer used a Stop Stick to slow down the vehicle.
Stop Stick is a tire-deflation device for high-speed pursuits, whereas if properly deployed provides officers with a safe distance from the subject, yet in control of the device position via an attached cord reel that penetrates the tire and act as valves, releasing air at a safe, controlled rate.
"I was on another call when I heard a situation over the radio," said Trooper Chris Anderson. "I got ahead of the direction where the suspect was heading, and I placed a four-foot section of the spikes on the road. The vehicle ran over the Stop Stick. You have to quickly remove the device before other law enforcement officers run over it."
Trooper Anderson said he placed the device on Traphill Road and Roaring Gap Road.
"He was speeding toward Elkin when his tire clipped the Stop Stick," said Trooper Anderson. "That's when the tires started giving out on air and with nowhere else to go the suspect pulled over a couple of miles down the road in State Road."
Trooper Anderson said a second suspect was in the car, a woman who jumped out and ran a bit before an officer apprehended her.
According to police, the woman was taken to the Ashe County Sheriff's Department and is in custody. Her name is not being released.
A spokesperson for the department indicated that names are not necessarily released to the public for a variety of reasons to include other investigations being eyed by police.
Lt. Dancy said the chase reached speeds of about 70 mph and there were no sustained injuries. Dancy indicated that approximately nine different law enforcement vehicles were involved in the chase.
"Thankfully, there were no serious injuries," he said.

Local family donates Civil War Medal of Honor to Toledo VA ClinicWritten by Sanya Ali | | email@example.com
Wilson W. Brown saw his share of action during his time in the 21st Ohio Infantry during the Civil War. In 1862, he participated in Andrews' Raid, also known as the Great Locomotive Chase.
Along with his fellow soldiers, Brown commandeered the train until they became prisoners of war later that same year. After their escape and further combat, Brown received the Medal of Honor.
Thanks to great-great granddaughter Linda Schwartz, Brown's medal will now rest in Toledo at the U.S. Department of Veterans Affairs (VA) Toledo Community Based Outpatient Clinic (CBOC).
"I just know what a great place it is," Schwartz said. "Plus, in the reading of [Brown's] story, he was injured after that event. He went back into service, he was injured and he was treated by the veterans. And he said if it hadn't been for them he would have lost his leg, he would have died, and that was one of his big events in his life that he wanted to share with everyone."
Schwartz knew she did not want the medal — a family heirloom she fought for two years in court to keep — somewhere not easily accessible to her hometown.
"Rather than be in a museum, where people have to pay to get in and see it, they can come here and they can share it with all these people who did the exact same thing as he did," Schwartz said.
RELATED: Toledo to become Blue Star Memorial site
VA Toledo Director Robert McDivitt said the center receives generous donations throughout the year, but this medal in particular holds a special place.
"I would say this is once in a lifetime," McDivitt said. "We have very active volunteers and donations but this is special."
During his speech introducing the artifact, McDivitt said he believes having the medal will further emphasize the center's mission.
"The mission of our health care system is to honor America's veterans and I hope you see that everywhere in this building and that it's also evident in the staff who work there," he said.
Brown's Medal of Honor will be displayed along with the new Korean War Memorial, which recognizes veterans of the Korean War and is modeled after the memorial in Washington D.C.
The family unveiled the Medal of Honor on May 23 prior to a ceremony to install a Blue Star Memorial plaque at the Toledo Clinic. More than 26,000 Blue Star Memorials stand across the United States, according to Andrea Little, chairperson for the National Garden Club, which started the program. Anthony Wayne Garden Club donated Toledo's plaque, which was installed by the flagpole at the entrance to the clinic. The space will also include benches with the seals of each military branch adorning them, donated by the local American Legion.
Little said awareness for the sacrifices troops make every day is crucial, and she hopes the memorials serve as a constant reminder of that sacrifice.
"I think what it means for us and for all of us is that we will stay strong in our dedication to our military personnel and that we will honor them not only Memorial Day and Veteran's Day, but every day," Little said.

Tuscarawas News Detail
Watch Live: Proposed New Architecture Building DesignsPosted Jan. 11, 2013
The four finalists in the competition to design the new building for Kent State University's College of Architecture and Environmental Design will present their design concepts at a public presentation Thursday, Jan. 17, at 7 p.m. The event, which is free and open to the public, takes place on campus in the University Auditorium in Cartwright Hall, located at 650 Hilltop Drive in Kent.
The event can also be viewed live via webcast.
"Students, faculty, staff, alumni, Kent community members, professionals in architecture, interior design and other design professions, or those who have an interest in those areas, as well as the general public, are all invited to get a first look at what these world-class firms have developed for our new architecture building," said Kent State President Lester A. Lefton. "This is an exciting time for Kent State as we transform our campus with new buildings and renovations and serve as a partner in the redevelopment of downtown Kent."
The new architecture building is part of the university's campus transformation, called "Foundations of Excellence: Building the Future," which involves the construction of new buildings, facility upgrades and establishment of dynamic, new spaces. The goal of this initiative is to create the most outstanding academic experience for students, faculty, staff, alumni and the greater community enriched by the university.
The estimated cost of the new architecture building is $40 million. Currently, Kent State's architecture program is housed in three separate structures. The new building will unite the college under one roof, and its new home will be located between Lincoln Street and Haymaker Parkway on the Kent State University Esplanade, a pedestrian walkway through campus that is currently being extended into downtown Kent, Ohio.
The four finalists who will present on Jan. 17 are:
- Bialosky + Partners Architects, with offices in New York and Cleveland, in association with Architecture Research Office of New York
- Richard L. Bowen + Associates Inc. of Cleveland in association with Weiss/Manfredi of New York
- The Collaborative Inc. of Toledo, Ohio, in association with the Miller Hull Partnership of Seattle
- Westlake Reed Leskosky, with offices in Cleveland and four other cities
The evening informational forum is an abbreviated presentation to the public of what the four finalists are presenting to the selection committee earlier that same day. The formal presentations to the selection committee will include design concepts, sustainability data and a cost estimate.
"It will be tremendously exciting to see how the four architecture firms conceptualize our college's new home," said Doug Steidl, dean of the College of Architecture and Environmental Design at Kent State. "During the two-month period between when the firms were notified that they were finalists and the Jan. 17 presentations, the four firms had opportunities to gather input from our students, faculty and staff members through web surveys, interviews and informal conversation sessions. The open dialogue sessions offered valuable insight as to what our constituencies need and want in a new building, so I'm anxious to see what the finalists have come up with to meet those requirements and requests."
Those who are interested in seeing the proposed building designs and hearing from the architecture teams can attend the event in the University Auditorium, watch it live online via webcast or see the presentations later at their convenience.
"For those unable to attend or make it to the University Auditorium, we have arranged to have a live webstream of the event as well as an archived recording so people can watch it online at their leisure," said Michael Bruder, director of design and construction at Kent State's Office of the University Architect. "We know this design competition is of great interest to many."
Following the Jan. 17 presentations, the sustainability data provided by the finalists will be analyzed and their cost estimates will be reviewed by independent sources while the presentation materials are further evaluated by the selection committee to determine the winning design scheme.
The winner of the competition is expected to be announced in February 2013.
To watch the live webstream of the four finalists' presentations on Jan. 17 from 7 p.m.-9 p.m., go to https://ksutube.kent.edu/watchlive.php?playthis=5049.

Durham Downs Hilbert
Men's Basketball exhibition game
- Release Date:
- November 13, 2010
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Hamburg, NY - The Hilbert College men's basketball program is one step closer to opening their 2010-11 season after the 94-68 exhibition loss to Durham College (Oshawa, Ontario) November 13. The Lord's athleticism and team chemistry lead to their second half surge, outscoring the Hawks by 30 points earning their 11th win of the season. Durham's Eric Smith was the game's high scorer/rebounder with 32 points (12-18 FG) and 14 rebounds. This contest doesn't count in Hilbert's overall record but it did provide the coaching staff with an opportunity to gage the Hawk's abilities before their first game on November 16th at Marywood University (Scranton, PA).
Keon Rembert (Bennetville, SC/Archbishop Walsh) recorded his first double double of the season (11 points/13 rebounds), but it was Dan McFarland's (Lancaster, NY/St. Mary's) 27 points (10-15 FG {4-4 3FG}, 3-4 FT) that led the Hawk's offense. Chipping in 13 points with 6 assists was freshman CJ Hodges (Rochester, NY/Gates Chili). Hilbert took at 41-37 lead into half time (48.6 FG%) yet cooled off the next twenty minutes scoring only 27 second half points.
Having played eleven games prior to today's contest, Durham College showed how execution and timing are vital to creating success. The Lords scored easy lay ups off lob passes or back door cuts multiple times during the game's final ten minutes. With only 6 second half turnovers, the visitors put more points on the board and limited the Hawks offense with their 11 second stanza steals.
After the Hawks open up their season at Marywood, they return home to host their Hilbert College Tip-Off Tourney, Friday/Saturday, November 19 and 20. John Jay College will play Keuka College at 6 pm then the Hawks host Morrisville at 8 pm.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations.

Pennesi Places Sixth in Vegas, Bryson Eighth
LAS VEGAS – With day two of the Cliff Keen Las Vegas Invitational coming to a close, the West Virginia University wrestling team had two grapplers place.
Juniors Nathan Pennesi (141) and Lance Bryson (184) placed sixth and eighth, respectively.
"Overall, we are happy with what we took away from this weekend's tournament," said coach Craig Turnbull. "This kind of tournament desensitizes our guys to wrestling against top-level competition. We get to see guys from schools that we do not normally see in the dual meet setting. The tournament for each individual had a lot of value, and we will get better because of it."
Pennesi, who fought his way to the championship quarterfinals on Saturday before falling to Ohio State's Hunter Stieber, scored wins over Northern Iowa's Joey Lazor and California-Bakersfield's Tommy Box to put himself in the consolation semifinals, where he took on Wisconsin's Tyler Graff.
Pennesi nearly knocked off Graff, who is ranked eighth by InterMat, but fell in a 7-5 decision. The Latrobe, Pa., native was tied at five with Graff, but Graff converted a shot with under 40 seconds remaining to seal the win.
In his fifth-place match, Pennesi took on sixth-seeded Steven Keith of Harvard. Pennesi took a 4-3 lead early in the second period, but was unable to hold on, as Keith scored an 8-6 decision.
"This tournament had tremendous value for Nathan," Turnbull said. "He was in a competitive match in each of his matches. Graff took an Olympic redshirt last season and finished in the top four of the senior level. Nathan was right in that match with him. Nathan wrestled very well and continues to get better."
Bryson, who recovered nicely from a tough bout against top-seeded Josh Ihnen of Nebraska on Saturday afternoon, knocked off Oregon State's Ty Vinson in the fourth round of consolations, 8-1.
In his consolation quarterfinals match against Navy's Mason Bailey, Bryson was defeated 2-0, after Bailey scored an escape point in the second period and earned a riding time point in the third. Bryson was then held out of his seventh-place match due to a coach's decision.
"Of the tournament's before the NCAA Championships, there are probably four that are premiere tournaments - this is definitely one of them," Turnbull said. "For Lance to place in this tournament, this is a tremendous accomplishment. Lance has been moving well and wrestling to his strengths throughout the season. In the match against Bailey, he allowed his opponent to take him out of his comfort zone. With that said, Lance is a whole level up from last season, and this tournament validates that for him."
With the Las Vegas Invitational behind them, the Mountaineers will now prepare for the Reno Tournament of Champions, which will be held on Dec. 16 in Reno, Nev.

Eleven Mountaineers Earn Big 12 Award
MORGANTOWN, W.Va. – Eleven West Virginia University student-athletes were named recipients of the third annual Dr. Gerald Lage award, the Big 12 Conference's highest academic honor, the conference announced.
The following Mountaineers were honored: Sarah-Anne Brault (track & field/cross country), Kaitlyn Gillespie (track and field/cross country), Liz Gulick (volleyball), Jordan Hamric (track & field/cross country), Jess Harlee (women's basketball), Emily Mathis (tennis), Aubrey Moskal (track & field/cross country), Ryan Nehlen (football), Rachelle Purych (rowing), Danika Rencken (rowing) and Frances Silva (women's soccer).
In total, 75 Big 12 student-athletes earned the honor, with Baylor placing a conference-best 14 recipients.
The honor is in memory of Lage, who served as the Oklahoma State faculty athletics representative with the NCAA and the Big Eight/Big 12 Conference from 1983 until his death in 2007. He was the chairman on three occasions (1985-86, 93-94 and 2003-04).
Lage had been a member of the Oklahoma State family since 1966, when he joined the College of Business Administration as an assistant professor. During his tenure at OSU, he served as the director of graduate studies in the department of economics (1974-77), head of the department of economics and finance (1978-84), director of the OSU Center for International Trade and Development (1985-87) and associate dean for research and graduate programs in the college of business administration (1997-2004).
In order to be eligible for the accolade, student-athletes must have lettered at least once in their career while maintaining residence at their institution for at least one academic year. The honoree, which can only be recognized once, should have 100 hours of earned credit with a cumulative grade-point average of 3.80 at the time of nomination.
The Dr. Gerald Lage award winners will receive public recognition at the Phillips 66 Big 12 Basketball Championships.

Tony Stewart
|Like ALT
DOB: May 20, 1971
Hometown: Columbus, Ind.
Tony Stewart has raced just about everything there is to race, but you're here to read about NASCAR, so we'll just dispense with naming off all the racing series with indecipherable initials in which he has competed and stick to the big leagues.
Stewart has collected 35 wins and two championships since joining the Sprint Cup in 1999, but his infamous temper has brought him almost as much recognition as his prowess on the track. And that's what you're here to read about, isn't it?
It would be far easier to tell you which drivers Stewart has not exchanged words or paint with, but that would be cheating. (It's Red Byron). Ahem. Jeff Gordon, Brian Vickers, Jeff Gordon, Kyle Busch, Jeff Gordon, Matt Kenseth, Jeff Gordon, Clint Boyer, Jeff Gordon, Kurt Busch and Jeff Gordon, just to name a few. Did we mention Jeff Gordon? And those are just the other drivers that have been on the receiving end of Stewart's tantrums. He's also gone after a perfectly innocent tape recorder, numerous bowls of chili and most recently-- Billy Bad-Butt.
Not only can Stewart be verbally and physically combative, but he is also extremely outspoken. One remark in particular pissed off an entire state. During a 2002 interview with FHM, he was asked which track had the most obnoxious fans. "Talladega. No brainer... it's in Alabama. Enough said," was his response. Stewart later said that he was misquoted and apologized. The fans accepted his apology and made a conscious effort to be non-obnoxious... for two years. Stewart's words rang prophetic in 2004 when Talladega fans pelted the winning car of Jeff Gordon with empty beer cans, hot dog wrappers and small animals.
But don't go thinking Stewart is a humorless hothead, because he's got an entertaining side as well. After his second win of 2005, Tony began climbing the catch fence after each victory and later said that he was "too damn fat to be climbing fences." Sponsor Home Depot reacted to his quip with an ad campaign entitled "Hey Tony, we've got ladders" where every customer got a discount if they presented the ad at the cash register.
Tony shook the racing world in 2008 when he announced that he would be fielding his own Sprint Cup car in 2009 as an owner/driver. There hadn't been a successful owner/driver in the series since Ricky Rudd won a Cup race in 1998, so many thought the move would be the end of Stewart as a competitor. Instead, he surprised everyone by snagging the points lead in May 2009 and scoring his first win as an owner driver with a victory at Pocono in June and another at Daytona in July.
Stewart is still single, but he has been seen with quite a few women on his arm.
Tara Roquemore
Krista Dwyer. She and Tony became media darlings when they adopted a patas monkey named Mojo. They later gave the monkey to the Louisville Zoo.
Tony with Mojo at the track.
Stewart with former Miss Winston Renee White. Way to go, Tony! Older women rock!

Human domination of the biosphere: Rapid discharge of the earth-space battery foretells the future of humankind
Earth is a chemical battery where, over evolutionary time with a trickle-charge of photosynthesis using solar energy, billions of tons of living biomass were stored in forests and other ecosystems and in vast reserves of fossil fuels. In just the last few hundred years, humans extracted exploitable energy from these living and fossilized biomass fuels to build the modern industrial-technological-informational economy, to grow our population to more than 7 billion, and to transform the biogeochemical cycles and biodiversity of the earth. This rapid discharge of the earth's store of organic energy fuels the human domination of the biosphere, including conversion of natural habitats to agricultural fields and the resulting loss of native species, emission of carbon dioxide and the resulting climate and sea level change, and use of supplemental nuclear, hydro, wind, and solar energy sources. The laws of thermodynamics governing the trickle-charge and rapid discharge of the earth's battery are universal and absolute; the earth is only temporarily poised a quantifiable distance from the thermodynamic equilibrium of outer space. Although this distance from equilibrium is comprised of all energy types, most critical for humans is the store of living biomass. With the rapid depletion of this chemical energy, the earth is shifting back toward the inhospitable equilibrium of outer space with fundamental ramifications for the biosphere and humanity. Because there is no substitute or replacement energy for living biomass, the remaining distance from equilibrium that will be required to support human life is unknown.

To The Editor:
In response to last week's letter on health care, entitled "Two failed systems," I think that some of us might be missing a few points. The first is that our current system is far from the best and needs to be replaced.
The second is that a completely new system doesn't have to be a duplicate of Canadian or British Systems. To use the systems of these countries as an excuse to avoid overhauling our system is a mistake. Canadian friends of mine are actually relatively satisfied with what they have. There are certainly other countries as well that we can borrow system concepts from.
As a person with a condition that requires the attention of a specialist, I am quite aware of long waiting times right here in the U.S.A. As a self-employed contactor, my options for insurance are limited and expensive mostly from having to be pooled with few people. This is not just a Vermont issue. I have had similar experiences in the two other states where I was self-employed. People are limited in their job selection because of the lack of employers that offer coverage. In this country only about 60 percent of employers provide health insurance, and that number is steadily decreasing. Health benefits for retirees are burdening corporations and municipalities across the country. On top of all this, a large percentage of the population already gets its care paid for or managed by the government. It is time for federal government to organize a health care system that shares the expenses and benefits equally across the country.
So Bernie, stand up tall on that soapbox and call for the replacement of employer-based health insurance with a system that includes us all.

He produced the best fitting, most comfortable boots around. This is when Tony Lama Boots was born. in the 1930's Tony Lama began distributing boots in Western Wear stores and by 1961, Tony Lama Boots was producing over 750 boots a day. When Tony Lama passed away in 1974, his family continued the tradition of quality and handcraftsmanship, making Tony Lama Boots a true American success story. In 1990, the company became part of the Justin Boot family and the tandem has set the standard for quality and craftsmanship worldwide.

Apple TV updated with Bluetooth keyboard support, iTunes Match improvements
In addition to releasing iOS 6.1 for iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch today, Apple has also released the software for the Apple TV. This update includes improvements to iTunes Match and Up Next, along with general iCloud support enhancements.
Apple has also add the ability to connect the Apple TV with a Bluetooth keyboard (?!), which allows users to enter text for search much faster that using the four-way remote control, and likely faster than the Remote app for iOS, once you factor in connection and navigation time.
The update is available by going to Settings, General, Update Software on your Apple TV. Once you've loaded it up, let me know how it's working for you.

Apple TV updated with Bluetooth keyboard support, iTunes Match improvements
I'm almost sure I used my Apple Wireless Keyboard with my Apple TV before today's update.
This Is this new, right? You can now select multiple speakers to output to via Apple TV: http://t.co/NmSI64HJ
Does anyone know if this ups the number of photos displayed in the screen saver beyond 500?
Is the ability to set jiggle mode so you can re-sort icons new? I was jailbroken and on an old ios build so if its been there I missed it probably.
Update went fine, can't wait till Sunday so I can get XBMC back though :)
FYI, it seems this update killed the Remote app on the iPad. Either that, or the iOS 6.1 update did it, but since the app still works fine on the iPhone, I suspect Apple TV is the culprit.
Apple's Discussion boards show others with the same problem.

UT grad takes wedding vows to new heightsWritten by Sarah Ottney | Editor in Chief | email@example.com
Floor space may have been tight and accessibility limited at the recent wedding ceremony of University of Toledo graduate Bob Ewing and his wife, Antonie — but the view from their venue was unparalleled.
The Ewings of Arlington, Va., both avid rock climbers, were married Aug. 10 on the 900-foot summit of the South Peak of Seneca Rocks in West Virginia. The location is accessible only by technical rock climbing. The couple made the climb in their wedding clothes, he in a tux and she in her mother's wedding dress.
Five people joined them at the top: the groom's brother, Scott Ewing, who performed the ceremony; two rock climber friends who served as photographer and videographer; the bride's mother; and a guide from Seneca Rocks Climbing School.
The groom's other brother, John Ewing of Bedford Township, Mich., also a UT graduate, took photos from a nearby peak.
"I thought it was really cool," John said. "They're very outdoorsy and athletic, so it really fit their personalities well. Her mother insisted on going up, too. She's pretty strong-willed."
Several other family members hiked with the party to the base of the climb and then followed the group's progress with walkie talkies.
The couple held a second ceremony and reception Aug. 11 for by the rest of their family and friends. On Aug. 12, the pair adopted a puppy, a Weimaraner they named Seneca.
Bob, 32, grew up in North Olmsted, near Cleveland. Antonie, 30, grew up in New Mexico. Both work in Arlington, Va., just outside of Washington, D.C. Bob is director of communications for a public interest law firm while Antonie is a network relations marketing coordinator for the Institute for Humane Studies. Bob also proposed to Antonie at Seneca Rocks, lower on the mountain.
Seneca Rocks has two peaks. Although weddings are not uncommon on the observation deck of the North Peak, which can be reached by hiking, weddings on the South Peak summit are rare because of the difficulty of the climb, said Arthur Kearns, who operates Seneca Rocks Climbing School with his wife, Diane.
The Kearns actually planned to get married on the South Peak summit themselves, but never quite made it, as their officiant balked before reaching the top.
"The minister waited until we were at the start of Old Ladies [a climbing route at Seneca Rocks] to inform us that he was deathly afraid of heights," Kearns said in an email to Toledo Free Press. "Seemed he had no idea what he had agreed to."
There have been a few other weddings on the South Peak summit, but to his knowledge the Ewings are the first to do it in full formal attire, Kearns said.
Another groom getting married at Seneca Rocks this fall wanted to do it at the top of South Peak, but his bride-to-be nixed that plan, said Simone Steger, who works at The Gendarme climbing shop at Seneca Rocks Climbing School.
Bob and Antonie said they are thrilled with the way everything turned out.
"I've gone climbing all over the country and beyond and there's just something special about Seneca Rocks. It's just my favorite place in the world," Bob said. "I think Antonie and I would both agree there's just no other place like it. And to get married on the summit, by my brother? That's just the coolest thing I've done in my life. "

From September 2013 School Champions membership is available as a free benefit of attending one of Stonewall's Train the Trainer sessions, which will be held regionally throughout the school year.
Research conducted by the University of Cambridge shows that three quarters of primary school teachers say they hear homophobic language from pupils. Nine in ten
teachers want to tackle the problem, but have never been trained on how to prevent and respond to homophobic bullying.
Stonewall's Train the Trainer series provides pastoral, PSHE and antibullying leads with all the tools and techniques needed to train other staff on tackling homophobic bullying and celebrating difference. It also provides support on how to positively celebrate difference in an age appropriate way and meeting the requirements under the new Ofsted inspection framework.
We strongly reccommend that primary schools join the School Champions programme by registering to attend a training session in their area. Schools attending a training session will also be supported in conducting an Initial Needs Assessment and creating a personalised Action Plan.

The biggest challenge, because the story was sort of this one continuous experience, was to find places where the story can break and leave each page with a little mini-cliffhanger...not terribly difficult because i think, in good stories from solid writers, those sort of hooks are peppered all the way through. I've always thought the number one job of a story is to simply make you want to keep reading by making you want to know WHAT HAPPENS NEXT. But to find it in 24 evenly spaced parts...lol...THAT was a challenge.

Men's Soccer Hit By Storm
- Release Date:
- September 20, 2010
- Contact:
- The Office of Sports Information
- (716) 649-7900 ext. 333
Hamburg, NY – The men's soccer team at Hilbert College hosted Keuka College in a late afternoon non-conference game on Monday, September 20th. The visitors came out on top with a 4-0 victory improving their record to 3-1-1. Hilbert gave up two quick goals in a span of seventy-five seconds giving the Storm a 2-0 lead before the 10 minute mark. Keuka then came back with another shot on target at the 19 minute mark sealing the victory before intermission. The second half found the Hawks playing catch-up as they outshot Keuka (6-3), but another well placed ball at the 77 minute mark found the back of the net finishing the scoring for the day.
On paper, it was an even game in statistics: 14-12 shots (for Hilbert), 5-5 saves, and 4-2 corner kicks (Hilbert), but it was the speedy forward line of Keuka getting the right angles on the Hilbert keepers. Freshman Ed Sarcione (Eden, NY/Eden) led the nine different Hawks who took shots, with his two being on goal.
Hilbert drops to 0-7 on the year with their last home non-conference game set for Wednesday, September 22 against Thiel College. The women's teams are playing first with the expected start time for the men's game to be 5 pm.
Hilbert College, located in suburban Hamburg, N.Y., south of Buffalo, is a private four-year college founded in 1957 in the Catholic Franciscan tradition. With nearly 1,100 students, Hilbert is a dynamic Western New York college that offers career-focused majors, including one of the top criminal justice programs in the region, and more than 50 minors and concentrations. The college's engaging, student-centered campus community offers numerous leadership, internship, and service learning opportunities from which students launch successful careers while making positive changes in their communities. The Hilbert Blueprint promotes a well-rounded student experience over four years – starting with the Foundations Seminar in the freshman year, followed by Sophomore Service, Junior Symposium, and culminating with the Senior Capstone. Hilbert has expanded its academic offerings with the college's first graduate programs and new Accelerated Degree Programs geared to adult learners.

"Not what we say about our blessings, but how we use them, is the true measure of our thanksgiving." W. T. Purkiser
It wasn't the most beautiful of days... it was cold, windy and rainy and I didn't even want to leave the house much less take pictures in this mess. I even reasoned that no one else would go either in this terrible weather and was happy to sit at home and watch football.
Instead, I ventured out to Ravenel where a group of Pilgrims and Indians would be celebrating the First Thanksgiving at Peaceful Way.

I went to a café that advertised breakfast anytime, so I ordered French toast during the Renaissance

I went to a café that advertised breakfast anytime, so I ordered French toast during the Renaissance

Back to top.
Breakfast. It seems like forever since Mom told us breakfast is the most important meal of the day, but one study shows it's actually true—she wasn't just nagging us. Breakfast is a key component of weight management: A study presented at the 90th annual meeting of the Endocrine Society showed that participants who consumed large breakfasts high in protein and carbohydrates followed by a low-carb, low calorie diet for the rest of the day lost almost five times as much weight as the participants who followed a low-carb, high-protein diet throughout the day. So what's the big deal about breakfast? And what is a big breakfast anyway? It doesn't seem like the lumberjack special at the local diner would do much to get the pounds off, so what should we be eating?
The study supported the idea that when we wake up in the morning, our bodies want food. You've burned through all the fuel from the previous day, and now your body's ready to burn anything—even muscle—to get a jump-start on the day. And if you skip breakfast, muscle is indeed what your body will burn. Later in the day, your brain is still in starvation mode from breakfast (or lack thereof), so your body will store all the calories you eat as adipose tissue, or fat, to save up for the next day when you try to starve it again. This study also found that levels of serotonin, the chemical responsible for controlling cravings, were much higher in the morning, which is why breakfast is the meal so many of us are willing to skip. But if our bodies are left unfed, our serotonin levels drop, and our bodies' craving for sweets begin to rise throughout the day.
But before you hit McDonald's for their 800-calorie Big Breakfast, or worse, their 1,150-calorie Deluxe Breakfast, or swing by Denny's for a 740-calorie Grand Slam or 950-calorie All-American Slam with hash browns, keep in mind, these weren't the breakfasts the study participants consumed. The big-breakfast group had a 610-calorie breakfast as part of a 1,240-calorie day. Breakfasts included milk, lean meat, cheese, whole grains, a serving of healthy fat, and one ounce of chocolate or candy to defray the craving for sweets. The other group's participants consumed 1,085 calories per day as part of a high-protein, low-carb diet; only 290 of their daily calories were consumed at breakfast. Both groups were on their respective diets for eight months. The high-protein group lost an average of nine pounds, but the big-breakfast group lost an average of 40 pounds. And, perhaps not surprisingly, the big-breakfast group complained less about cravings and hunger.
The big-breakfast group's breakfast consisted of 58 grams of carbs, 47 grams of protein, and 22 grams of fat. Study reviewers attribute some of the success of the big-breakfast group to the fact that the protein and healthy fats eaten kept the participants full and reduced cravings. They also said that nutritional requirements were well met and that there weren't empty calories consumed, because the breakfasts included lots of whole grains, fruits, lean proteins, and healthy unsaturated fats. So bad news for the lumberjack-special devotees—a big plate of greasy hash browns, bacon, and biscuits with gravy isn't going to get the job done, unless the job we're discussing is clogging your arteries.
Here are some healthy big breakfasts, similar to the ones consumed by the study's participants.

Place olive oil in a large sauté pan over medium high heat and heat until hot but not smoking. Add onion, garlic, and green onions and sauté until onion is clear and caramelized. Add mushrooms and pepper, and sauté until tender. Stir in crumbled tofu, cilantro, sesame seeds, Mexican spices, salt, and pepper and continue to sauté until tofu is lightly browned.
